The Multiverse Starting from White Deer Plain

The next few days. Google search reading

Bai Gui lived temporarily in Dongting Dragon Palace.

The three dragon girls would take Bai Gui to visit the beautiful scenery of Dongting every day, entertain Bai Gui as his benefactor, and occasionally go ashore to visit Wu and Chu lands to visit the human world.

The two of them were like glue.

At the same time, Sanlongnu also taught Bai Gui's Taoist cultivation techniques privately. If the Taoist scriptures are not taught by teachers, they will not be effective. But Dongting Longjun is a god, and he taught Bai Gui the skills, which is equivalent to a god imparting skills, and has given him certain permissions, so there is no big problem in practicing through it.

However, at this moment, Bai Gui made a speech.

"You were traveling from Wuwei to Chang'an to prepare for the imperial examination. I met you, Sanniang, by chance, and sent a letter to you all the way. Now that you have succeeded, I should return to Chang'an to prepare for the imperial examination next year..."

he said.

He's not confused.

Lies must have a beginning and an end.

Before coming, he compiled the life experience of Sanlongnu, who was a scholar who went to Chang'an to prepare for the imperial examination. Although even if you pass the imperial examination, you may not get as much as you would from a rich woman like Sanlongnu.

But this is different.

Eating soft rice is not just a random meal, it must be done with skill. If you want to make a soft meal, you have to show your attitude that you don't plan to rely too much on the Dongting water veins.

Reaching out to ask for it and giving it away to others is a matter of course.

Also, one more thing.

Taoist Zheng was waiting for him to come out and deliver the news. Although he relied on the Dongting water vein, Taoist Zheng was somewhat dispensable. But now is not the time to break up with Zheng Daoshi.

"Bai Lang, you are going to Chang'an to take the imperial examination. The Nu family knows your aspirations and cannot hinder your future. However, you must have someone to take care of you along the way..."

The third dragon girl's pink cheeks turned red and she whispered.

Being a court official in a human dynasty seems to be subject to birth, old age, illness and death. Compared with cultivating Taoism, it is a useless task. But this is not the case. In the human dynasty, if you achieve great merit, or you are in a high position, you will practice Taoism in the future, or you will be reincarnated to practice Taoism, you will have luck to help you. There are even some court officials who will be awarded certain official positions by the Heavenly Court and receive two salaries due to their integrity and other matters.

Practicing with the help of human dragon energy can get twice the result with half the effort.

Some monks may spend their whole lives practicing hard, but their achievements are not as good as those of others who first experienced the mortal world, followed the official career, and then practiced Taoism for decades.

For example, Cui Gui, the judge of Fengdu, was the minister before the emperor Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty. After his death, he went to the underworld and became the judge of Fengdu in charge of the records of life and death.

"No!"

"Before the imperial examination, I should be focused on studying the scriptures diligently. If you go, Sanniang, you will definitely mess up my mind and disturb my concentration."

Bai Gui refused flatly.

The three dragon girls snorted lightly and did not defend themselves.

Bai Gui won't let her follow him, but that doesn't mean she won't meet Bai Gui accidentally in Chang'an. Anyway, there are plenty of ideas for the camp, so there is no need to argue with Bai Gui at this meeting and make both of them unhappy.

When Bai Gui was studying alone and empty late at night, she came to her door, her red sleeves fragrant. No matter how much a gentleman Bai Gui was, he couldn't hold himself back. There was no reason to scold or reject her.

…

Out of Dongting Lake.

The Dragon Palace Water Mansion gave Bai Gui some jewels as a means of transportation, and also gave him a good horse as a gift of leg power.

Bai Gui rode a horse, Xin Ma was reined in, and headed north to Chang'an.

Along the way, he also looked like he was studying hard. While riding on horseback, he would occasionally take out scriptures from his bookcase and study hard. When arriving at an inn or inn, it is common to read at night by candlelight.

On the way, he met Taoist Zheng who was looking for him. Taoist Zheng was overjoyed when he heard that Bai Gui had almost taken care of the three dragon girls of Dongting Lake. Later, I heard that Bai Gui was preparing to take the imperial examination. He frowned and didn't say much. He just thought that Bai Gui was overestimating his abilities.

The imperial examination is not that easy to take.

However, Taoist Zheng did not interfere with Bai Gui and allowed Bai Gui to go to Chang'an.

This time, we were less anxious to go to Chang'an than to Dongting. It took about half a month to travel.

Finally, when it was snowing heavily in Guanzhong, we arrived in Chang'an.

If you want to act, you have to act in it. One step away is a flaw.

Before heading to Dongting, he had already rented a room at Chang'an Inn. So at this time, there is no need to be too busy looking for a place to stay.

The examinations of the Ministry of Rites of Shangshu Province are mostly conducted in February and March of spring.

Bai Gui has long been familiar with this.

"The last time I took the Imperial Examination in the Tang Dynasty, I was able to stay at Jinxianguan. Although the inn was good, it was inevitably a bit deserted. Without Princess Nuantan, I always felt that something was missing..."

Mingfeng Inn, Room No. 3, Di. After reading the scripture, Bai Gui smacked his lips and thought to himself.

He has long been familiar with the imperial examinations of the Tang Dynasty. To be honest, he doesn't need to review anything. As long as the court is not stupid, it is basically a certainty that he will be admitted as a Jinshi.

Over the past few days, he has read through the Confucian classics of this world.

"However, the imperial examinations of the Tang Dynasty are different from the imperial examinations of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. If you want to pass the examination, you must first make a name for yourself. The examiner has reviewed the examination papers, but you have not been ranked on the list of celebrities..."

Bai Gui wrote and drew on plain paper and thought. Grain

Family status, fame, talent, timing, etc., are all key factors that may affect your success in the Imperial Examinations of the Tang Dynasty. He has no family background. He is just a Taoist priest who is affiliated with Qingshan Temple in Wuwei City. However, he has a certificate from the ancestral hall, so he can be regarded as a serious Taoist priest, and there will be no problem in the scientific examination.

Now, all he lacks is fame.

"I heard that tomorrow is Prime Minister Yin's fiftieth birthday. You and I should go back to the room and write a birthday poem for Prime Minister Yin as soon as possible. If you are respected by Prime Minister Yin, there is hope for this imperial examination."

Outside the house, in the corridor, two scholars were whispering.

The voice was kept very low, lest others hear it.

Mingfeng Inn, located in Xingrenfang, mainly caters to scholars who take the exam every year. Therefore, the name of the inn is also called Mingfeng, which means that if it doesn't sing, it will be a blockbuster. At the same time, Mingfeng also has the elegant meaning of "sage".

"Prime Minister Yin?"

"It should be Yin Qiao and Yin Kaishan."

Bai Gui heard the words and thought carefully.

Yin Qiao, also known as Kaishan, is one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion. Historically, Yin Qiao died of illness on his way to conquer Liu Heitai in the fifth year of Wude. But in the world of Journey to the West, Yin Qiao did not die of illness. Instead, he now lives in the official position of the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and is the Heavenly Official of the Ministry of Personnel. And Jiaping Zhangshi was the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty.

According to the history of Journey to the West, in the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, Tang Monk's biological father Chen Guangrui passed the examination and was awarded the first prize by the emperor. When Chen Guangrui was parading in the street, he was thrown an hydrangea by Yin Wenjiao, the daughter of the prime minister Yin Kaishan, and the two got married.

Early the next morning.

The scholars who were temporarily staying at the Mingfeng Inn filed out and went to the Yin Mansion in unison, sending greetings and birthday wishes in the hope that Yin Kaishan would appreciate their talents and invite them to the mansion for a banquet.

In the outer courtyard of Yin Mansion, two to three hundred scholars were waiting anxiously.

Although these scholars had requests from others, the Yin Mansion did not treat them harshly. Instead, they set up a flowing banquet in the outer courtyard to treat these scholars to a feast.

Of course, the dishes at the Flowing Banquet are undoubtedly more than one level worse than those in the inner courtyard.

Bai Gui also sat at the flowing banquet in the outer courtyard of Yin Mansion.

"Please come to the inner courtyard and take a seat, Pei Ling, Lord Pei of Wenxi."

Menzi walked out of the moon gate that separated the two courtyards and sang loudly to the scholars present.

Wenxi's Pei family was a prominent family in the world. Wenxi, that is, Wenxi County, is the county seat of the Wenxi Pei family.

When all the scholars saw this, their hearts dropped as soon as they reached their throats.

A young man in colorful clothes came out of the queue, bowed his hands at the door, and went straight into the inner courtyard.

Russian qing.

Another disciple came out and shouted: "Please come and take a seat in the inner courtyard, Fan Yang and Lu Shi."

Fan Yanglu's family is one of the five surnames and Qiwang.

Many scholars looked miserable, shook their heads and sighed.

Although the children of these generation hairpins are generally better than them in talent and learning, there is no shortage of grass among poor families. Now twice in a row, they are both from high-ranking families. In their hearts, they couldn't help but speculate whether this Prime Minister Yin was also a person who only valued family status and neglected talent and learning.

But the next moment, Menzi's shout made their expressions soften.

"Please Qinghe Ma Zhou enter the inner courtyard and take a seat."

Qinghe, that is, Qinghe County. Qinghe County is the county head of the Cui family in Qinghe, not the county head of the surname Ma. So Qinghe Ma Zhou, Qinghe is just a place of residence, not a county.

Qinghe Mazhou means that he comes from a poor family.

Then, a plain-dressed Confucian scholar walked out of his seat with a thin face. After bowing to his disciples, he entered the inner courtyard.

The doorman called a dozen times in a row.

There are aristocratic people, and there are also poor families.

But there are many nobles and few poor families, only three or four people.

On the seventeenth time, I finally thought of Bai Gui.

"Please invite Wuwei Baigui to enter the inner courtyard and take your seat."

Menzi shouted.

In an instant, all the scholars could not help but whisper to each other.

It is common for nobles to have outstanding children. So when they thought about Fan Shizi, Cui Shizi, etc., although they discussed it, they were limited to admiring the life experiences of these people. But when you come to the children of the poor family, this means that the children of the poor family have really made their way into the industry by relying on their true talents and practical knowledge. Naturally, the discussion will be louder and the content of the discussion will be more.

"Wuwei Baigui? From Liangzhou? I've never heard of this man's reputation."

"At any rate, Ma Zhou has good calligraphy and is well-known in Chang'an. He often writes letters for dignitaries..."

Several people discussed.

Bai Gui ignored him, followed the example of the previous people, bowed and entered the inner courtyard.

This is certainly a good opportunity for him to become famous among the poor scholars. But unfortunately, what is fame? To become famous is not to become famous among humble disciples, but to become famous among high-ranking officials. If a person from a poor family is famous, that is not true fame.

The inner courtyard was filled with dignitaries.

Purple robes, scarlet robes, and green robes are all distinguished court officials.
