Chapter 721 Dogs and People
Zhong Tianhao is not unfamiliar with the imperial examination.
More than three hundred years ago, in the distant Four Wilderness Star Domain, when he was still a Nascent Soul monk, his transformation into the Tang Kingdom was to pass the imperial examination, become an official, meet a generation of calligraphy master Yan Qingchen, and finally prove the truth through calligraphy, and succeed in transformation into the gods.
Now, when he embarked on the road of imperial examinations again, Zhong Tianhao felt indescribable familiarity, just like he traveled through time and space, returned to the past, and returned to the Tang Kingdom more than 300 years ago.
The difference is that now in the Chu State, Zhong Tianhao doesn't even need to take the exam by himself, because his participation in the imperial examination is no different from cheating. No matter what the result is, he will be directly admitted to the Chu State royal family.
After that, the ancestor of Chu State would not have to help him, and he could still make a fortune. With his cultivation level, living with a group of mortals is basically stress-free!
As expected, half a month later, a notice was posted in the Yingdu City of Chu State, clearly informing the court that the palace examination had been started.
Now, countless students in the entire Chu State were in full bloom. For them, being able to participate in the palace examination was the desire they all dreamed of, and the glory and glory in it were simply indescribable.
There is no doubt that although the number of people participating in the palace examination is relatively small, Zhong Tianhao's name is among them and has become one of the many candidates.
This is the arrangement of the royal family, and it is the promise made by the ancestor of Chu to Zhong Tianhao. Others will not doubt it at all, nor dare to doubt it. Of course, the name used by Zhong Tianhao is not his real name, but just a pseudonym.
——Fang Ru!
When he saw his pseudonym on the notice, Zhong Tianhao was not as excited as other candidates. He looked calm and took a casual look. Then he went to verify his identity and obtained the certificate to participate in the palace examination.
After all, after practicing for more than 400 years, Zhong Tianhao's mentality is naturally not comparable to those ordinary people. His original heart is still as calm as water, as if he sees everything the same, and everything is empty.
Slowly, on him, the aura of a monk quickly became silent, and replaced by the aura of a Confucian scholar who gradually became more prosperous.
Among the many candidates who were traveling with him, Zhong Tianhao seemed particularly different. He never talked to others, was proud and independent, as if he looked at the world coldly!
"I am participating in the imperial examination for the second time. I can also walk the path of mortals."
Zhong Tianhao sighed softly. He carried the book basket and walked towards the palace like everyone else, with a lofty expression and calmness. Under his feet, Goudan always followed, showing an excited look from time to time.
"Hmm? The wine is gone, go buy wine!"
As his spiritual sense scanned, he saw that his storage bag was empty. Zhong Tianhao paused and his eyes immediately fell to the distance, where there was a restaurant.
"Brother, I... I don't have any money, only spirit stones are left. These mortals don't collect spirit stones." Goudan was a little embarrassed. It flipped through its own small vault for a long time, but it couldn't find half a copper plate, which made it a little crazy because it was addicted to alcohol and was even more addicted to alcohol than Zhong Tianhao.
"It's okay, exchange this!"
Zhong Tianhao tinkered in the storage bag for a long time. Finally, he smiled knowingly and took out a flying sword of spiritual weapon level, which was thrown to Goudan.
"Spiritual weapon?" Seeing this, Goudan took a deep breath. It shook its head hard, almost thinking that it was wrong. The extremely precious spiritual weapon among the monks would be used by Zhong Tianhao to exchange for mortal wine in the secular world. This is too wasteful.
"Hurry up and change it, just a mere spiritual weapon, it's nothing different to you and me!" Zhong Tianhao said right, but it's true. At the level of cultivation of him and Goudan, when using spiritual weapons, you will not get any increase in combat power at all. Instead, you will be affected, and you will be restrained and unable to use it.
After hesitating for a moment, although Goudan felt heartbroken, it could not resist the attack of alcohol addiction. It held its spiritual weapon and flew into the restaurant quickly. Then, under the extreme surprise of the restaurant owner, he spoke and directly changed to two jars of wine.
In fact, even a mortal sword can be exchanged for two jars of wine, and the spiritual weapon flying sword used by cultivators can be exchanged for thousands of restaurants!
"It's a big loss, a big loss. It's the first time in so long that Master Qi lost so much. He's a spiritual weapon, a spiritual weapon, and he actually changed two jars of wine."
Dogdan was full of heartache, and his dog's face became distorted. He always felt bleeding in his heart. This transaction is one of the few failures in his life.
"Small and embarrassed to have a great responsibility!"
In a place where no one was around, Zhong Tianhao glared at Goudan, then took a jar of wine and took a big sip. He was unruly and free, and continued to walk forward with a long smile. Behind him, Goudan quickly followed.
At this moment, under the reflection of the sunset, the figure of this man and a dog was pulled long, especially on Zhong Tianhao, there was a different kind of fireworks smell, just as if he had completely transformed from the original high-ranking cultivator to a drunk scholar!
"The wine in the imperial city of Chu State should be good. If you have the chance, try it." In the distance, Zhong Tianhao's laughter echoed between heaven and earth.
"Tsk, what opportunity do you want? Brother, if you really have this idea, I will go to the palace tonight, steal a or two jars... No, I will steal a orchard of wine back, so that will be enough for the two of us to drink for a while."
Goudan responded that obviously, in its perception, the number "seven" always represents infinity...
Yingdu City, the imperial palace of Chu, is located in the center of the city. Beyond this huge imperial city, there is also a winding moat.
There are countless soldiers guarding the moat. Not far away, it is the most lively and bustling street in the city. In the past few days when the imperial examination was launched, candidates from Chu State will basically gather around here.
Where there are talented men, there are naturally beautiful women. This is a gentle water town. During the day, talented men recite poems, beautiful women dance, and singing and dancing at night, and music and music and piano sounds.
In addition to talented men and beautiful women, most of the people gathered here are dignitaries and nobles and nobles of aristocratic families. They often travel here, drink and have fun, and are leisurely!
That night, Zhong Tianhao and Goudan were approaching the imperial city, they also chose to stop in this gentle water town, drink wine, listen to the sound of the piano, and feel the atmosphere here.
"Tsk tsk, brother, you're degenerate!"
Looking at the crowds coming and going around, Goudan squatted at Zhong Tianhao's feet and showed a strange look. In its opinion, it was a real dog, but Zhong Tianhao did not act well.
