Chapter 9 Self-inflicted sin, do not live!
"Brother, we don't want this place anymore?" At this time, Xiaoxiao said in a crying voice. Although she wanted to redeem the fields, she understood the importance of the matter. Even if there was no fields, as long as she weaved more bamboo tools and sold them in the town, the two of them would not starve to death. If the brother entered the mountain, he would definitely die of death.
"It's okay" Chang Jin took a deep breath and replied loudly: "Thank you, uncles and brothers, for your concern. I will go to the mountain to hunt tigers, and I am not afraid of Chang Jin!"
"Okay, okay, you have a habit!" The smile on Wang Mazi's face suddenly stiffened, and he spitted and said, "The scholar must remember it well. I will report to the town on the fifth day of next month. If I don't go then, Liu Xuli will ask for official documents from the county to capture you."
After this person left, the villagers gradually dispersed. Dazhuang wanted to say something, but scratched his head and left.
Chang Jin did not blame the villagers, it was normal for people to seek profit and avoid harm. Since Liu Zhisheng was eyeing him, even if someone replaced the corvee service this time, it would probably not take long to get a new job.
"Brother, how could you agree? Otherwise, we would give more money and pray to Liu Xuli for exemption from this corvee service."
"Don't worry, your brother is not so easy to die. I practice swords every day now, and no ordinary people can get close to you. If I really meet that big insect on the mountain, even if I can't kill it, I can escape, right?" Chang Jin's face was full of relaxed smile, but there was a faint severity in his eyes.
If God commits evil, you can still forgive me. If God commits evil, you can't live!
"Well..." The little girl was simple-minded. After listening to her brother's analysis, she finally calmed down.
All clerks in the world can be killed. In his previous life, Chang Jin once read a saying: "Officials are like big fish, officials are small fish, people who have finished their food are frustrated, officials are like tigers, officials are like cats, and they are specific and lick people's ointment."
The officials here refer to clerks. Such people are not even considered formal official positions, but they are the links that connect the people and officials.
On earth, ordinary people are afraid of seeing officials, and the same is true in the Dayan Dynasty. Whatever happens to the government is conveyed by clerks.
Therefore, in the eyes of ordinary people, clerks are definitely considered big names with great wisdom. With official positions, clerks will not be ruthless when bullying the people. Moreover, these people not only dare to deceive their subordinates, but also dare to hide them from them.
In the Great Yan Dynasty, many officials were deceived by clerks, and some even lost their official positions.
Chang Jin could figure out Liu Xuli's idea even if he didn't use his brain. If it were an ordinary person who sent someone to kill him, he would definitely not be able to take the blame. But he was a scholar. Although he did not pass the exam, he was different from ordinary people after all. If he was really killed openly, the academy would also send someone to check it out. At that time, if he really found something, Liu Xuli would definitely not be able to take it.
It is different to hunt tigers in the mountains. There are many beasts in the mountains, so it is normal to lose your life if you are not careful. Others know that Liu Xuli is malicious, but they have no choice.
However, Liu Zhisheng wanted to kill him, so Chang Jin naturally would not surrender.
Since you are worried that it is useless, accept it calmly.
At that time, the other party will naturally know that the scholar also has a murderous sword!
After comforting his sister, Chang Jin had already left the matter behind and picked up the "Four Books Collection" and read it.
From my memory, I learned that if you want to pass the scholarship, you must read the Four Books and Five Classics carefully and write the Eight-Legend Essays with this. However, the Four Books and Five Classics in this world are very different from those on the earth. It takes at least a few years to read it. The county and government exams are all drawn from it.
The eight-part essay has a fixed format, which stipulates that it consists of eight parts: solving the topic, following the topic, starting the lecture, starting the stock, starting the stock, and binding stock. Each part has certain regulations on the number and sentence patterns.
Chang Jin has been learning to do eight-legged essays for several years. He is just a dementia scholar. He holds up the scriptures and does not know how to summarize them, so he has not even passed the student exam several times.
Now that he has the help of the magic pen, he has a deeper understanding of the eight-legged essays. Small questions are not too difficult, but rare. Many of the eight-legged essays take a paragraph of the classics as the topic, and the meaning of the questions is clear, which requires a deep understanding of the Confucian classics and learning to summarize. At the same time, it also limits the author's own performance. People solve the questions during the exam. If the examiner's time to mark the papers for too long, they will inevitably be visually tired, and many articles pass by in a hurry. Therefore, if you want to gain something, you must leave a deep impression on the examiner when solving the questions and let the other party read them carefully, so that you will be half successful.
Secondly, you also need to work hard at the end of the final article, and you cannot give people the feeling of being a thief-headed person.
With such an essay, I believe it should not be difficult for the students to pass the exam.
However, Chang Jin did not waste all his time on the eight-legged essay. Making art eight-legged essays is just an advancement level, to put it bluntly, it is a stepping stone.
If you really believe in the truth, you will definitely be stupid to read.

Wang Mazi left Changjiawan, came all the way to the town, and ran straight to Liu's house to report.
"Master, the Chang surnamed is ignorant of life and death, and has agreed to join the hunting team."
"What?" Liu Zhisheng asked back in surprise, "His he really agreed?"
"Yes, this kid agreed very simply." Wang Mazi didn't know why the master reacted like this. In his opinion, Mr. Liu did this just to take off his pants and fart, and it was a waste of time. A small poor scholar directly made people lose things, which was so complicated. Of course, these words can only be thought about in his heart. The master does not need to talk too much.
"It's okay if he agrees. As long as he agrees, he will hold it in my palm and let me knead it. Those acres of good fields are stored in his house first, and I will take it after Chang Jin dies. I will also have the sweet girl of the Chang family. Then I feel that she has overreacted. Then I think of Chang Xiaoxiao's beautiful and young appearance, and I immediately feel that her crotch becomes hot.
Not long ago, he was patrolling people on the street and accidentally ran into Chang Xiaoxiao to the market. He remembered it in his heart and asked someone to inquire about it. Only then did he realize that he was the sister of a poor scholar.
He was about to use some tricks, but before he could think of the poor scholar falling ill. So Liu Zhisheng Wang Mazi came to his house and deceived Chang Xiaoxiao to mortgage his own acres of land, and then introduced her to several quack doctors who were treating her.
Originally, he thought that the poor scholar would die of illness, but unfortunately this boy was desperate and survived. Seeing that the plan failed, Liu Zhisheng had to come to the matchmaker to say he was in love.
But I knew that the scholar was ignorant of politeness and scolded himself, but he didn't know where to get money and wanted to redeem the land.
At this point, Liu Zhisheng will no longer show mercy, but this kid's identity as a child still makes people feel a little worried. If he took action openly, his classmates at Mingyang Academy might come forward and fight against each other, and he would cause trouble for his brother-in-law at that time.
After thinking about it, he decided to arrange a life-saving job for the scholar. The Dayan Dynasty had clear regulations on the matter of serving labor service for the people under his rule, and no one could say anything.
He originally thought that the poor scholar would definitely give in when he heard that he was going to the mountain to die, so he obediently sent his sister and family land. But he knew that the other party was incompetent and actually got to do his job.
It is better to agree, arrange the manpower yourself, and definitely let him die without life.

On that night, Chang Jin read a poem for the weasel as usual, and then calmed down to practice the "Visualization Sutra".
After nearly twenty days of cultivation, Chang Jin can now visualize the complete first-level building in his mind, only one line away from visiting the viewing. He plans to fight for something tonight and let himself enter the realm of the second transformation of human and immortals.
In my thoughts, Chang Jin walked upstairs with steps. At first, the visualization building was extremely difficult, but now after a period of adaptation, Chang Jin has become calm. Only the last few steps will make people illusions. It seems that countless stars in the sky fall down, or the evil ghosts of Shura are surging over the sky, and finally evolved into several peerless beauties with bare breasts exposed, with breathing and temptations.
In short, all kinds of illusions are elusive. If you are not careful, you will get lost.
With the help of the magic pen in Nizhuan Palace, Chang Jin insisted on his original thoughts without any wavering. He just walked out of the double eaves step by step and looked at the landscape through the window.
When I took the last step, I felt the thoughts I had visualized shaking rapidly, just like the oil lamp that kept swaying in the wind, almost shaking.
Fortunately, at a critical moment, a red energy emerged and the soul finally stabilized.
Standing inside the building, his thoughts stretched out and immediately extended more than ten feet away from the building. At this moment, although he closed his eyes, he could clearly "see" all kinds of things in the house, even the weasel catching mice everywhere in the yard. At the door, the mangy dog was gnawing on the bones... On the poplar trees farther away, a big spotted snake took advantage of the night to swim quietly towards a magpie nest on the branch. The magpie inside the nest was approaching without any danger...
It was still an illusion? Seeing such a clear and real scene, Chang Jin was not sure whether he was in a dream. He hurriedly opened his eyes and walked out of the door.
Hearing the footsteps, the weasel immediately held a newly caught mouse to seek credit. The skinny dog also stopped gnawing at the bones and kept roaring at the owner.
As soon as he thought about it, Chang Jin felt that his thoughts and consciousness seemed to cut through the dense air, extending towards the distance, and landing on the big poplar tree outside the door.
Sure enough, he saw a big snake there.
It turned out that it was not a dream, but a "see" by one's soul. This should be the magical power of visualizing the second transformation of humans and immortals, and it was often understood at the moment.
No matter how threatened Wang Mazi, life still has to be lived.
Xiaoxiao got up very early in the morning, prepared the meals for the two of them quickly, and then called her brother to come out for dinner.
Chang Jin put down the book in his hand, turned his head to look at his sister, and was stunned.
I saw a white air rising above my sister's head, just like the incense just lit in the temple. This is not Yin Fire. The visualization scriptures are very clear. Yin Fire can appear at night, but hidden during the day and cannot be seen at all.
Chapter completed!
