Chapter 009: Even the God of Driving Requires Compensation
The best, of course, are private tutors, or those of the scholar, licentiate, and gentry class, individuals with titles and prestige
With the skill to kill, one naturally possesses the courage
After opening his eyes under the sun at three poles, he took a sip of well water from the farm, feeling refreshed and invigorated. He hurried to check the results of his overnight cultivation.
But the problem is that someone needs to guarantee the scientific expedition
Upon thinking of Jia Yucun, Shi Zhongkui could not help but smile at the corners of his mouth
Otherwise, they may not necessarily pay attention to you. If you really call them to help and do not show any appreciation, there will not be a second time.
In ancient times, scholars participating in the imperial examination were required to go to their ancestral hometowns, a rule that Shi Zhongkui was indeed aware of
As for the two supernatural abilities of penetrating the void and driving away spirits
It appears that the old scholar of the private school may not have much money to celebrate the New Year this year
The county examination consists of 5 sessions, and it is also the time of early February when the spring chill is still biting
Many families of seventh-rank and even fifth-rank officials do not have such a large home
The City God Temple and the Earth God Temple certainly exist; I will try visiting the Earth God Temple one day. It is impossible to summon any spirits.
The gentleman instructed me to inform you that if you wish to participate in the county examination in February of next year, it is best to promptly ask the gentleman to write a recommendation letter, and then go to report to the county office of your ancestral home.
Fortunately, his ancestral home is in Daxing County, which is only about 50 li away from the capital of the Great Zhou, Shuntian Prefecture
At the very least, his soul is significantly stronger than that of an average person, and a surge of spiritual energy within his dantian begins to circulate along his meridians in accordance with his thoughts
Similar to the high-level magical eyes found in many cultivation worlds, in the future, ghostly entities will have nowhere to hide before me
Therefore, it is indeed necessary to maintain one's health
Turning around, I walked into the room and found a wooden box under the bottom of the bookshelf. Upon opening it, I confirmed that all the fans were inside, and I casually stored the wooden box in the warehouse of the space farm.
Since he is nicknamed Stone Fool, this fellow would not have thanked a child in the past
This ... ...
... ...
It is fortunate that despite the poor physical endowment in this regard, there are still some achievements.
Moreover, it can generate spiritual energy overnight; one might say this cannot be considered foolishness, right
Further refine the art of swift movement
In the future, I will find an opportunity for Jia She to repay both the principal and the interest, as for Jia Yucun, he must certainly be dealt with fatally
Moreover, only when one becomes an official in the future and interacts with the City God and the Land God will their status be considered equal
It is likely due to Shidaizi's long-term malnutrition or perhaps his lack of talent that he has taken the county examination for four or five years and still has not passed even that.
The sound of knocking, "bang bang bang," after exercising for nearly half an hour and practicing the art of swift movement for the first time, Shi Zhongkuai, drenched in sweat and feeling sore all over, couldn't help but frown
As for the practice of talismanic arts, one must first purchase some good paper, brushes, and cinnabar
Although the nourishment of spiritual energy allows the body to gradually become stronger, it is only through the combination with exercise that the absorption of spiritual energy can be perfected
As for whether he was sent by the Jiahe faction to purchase the family heirloom fan, Shi Zhongkui was not concerned in the slightest
Upon closer inspection, it was quickly recognized that the person was also a student from the private school
However, the art of summoning spirits is one thing; if it only involves invoking and dispatching the mountain gods, local deities, and the Yellow Turban warriors, it can be managed. But if it inadvertently attracts spirits and phantoms, without sufficient cultivation, who knows if one might suffer a backlash
Moreover, there are two side rooms for servants, along with a kitchen and a toilet.
This speed does not seem slow either
This is not urgent, as the art of talismans is all in my mind. However, without sufficient cultivation, even if I learn it, I will not be able to draw it.
Calming my excited emotions, I got up and walked out of the bedroom, entering the living room of the main house, and to the right of the living room was a study of over 20 square meters.
Moreover, after absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth throughout the night, it has grown stronger.
Upon taking another look at the farm, a smile appeared on his face
The cold wind blows, and even the hands become numb
As soon as the door opened, a half-grown child, appearing to be around 11 or 12 years old and dressed in a grayish-white robe, was seen.
In other words, someone must have been plotting against Shi Daizi, otherwise he would not have fallen into such poverty
In the backyard, Shi Zhongkui performed some warm-up exercises, following the bodyweight workout movements he had seen in the video, and began to stretch and move his body
At worst, just sell it directly
Can Shi Dalang stay at home
His name should be Jia Quan, and at home, he has a widowed mother and an elder sister. They set up a stall selling food outside the Wenchang Dijun Temple to support his studies at the private school
He quickly realized that he had not attended the private school for six months due to a lack of money
In addition to the county examination, which requires a return trip, the subsequent provincial examination, the academy examination, the local examination, and the national examination are all held in the capital.
Is what you said true
Moreover, to take the imperial examination, one absolutely needs to have good health
However, after a night of adjustment, Shi Zhongkui recalled that Shi Daizi had probably boasted to his classmates about the twenty antique fans that had been passed down in his family, likely for the sake of face
In accordance with Shidaizi's manner of speaking, Shi Zhongkui asked with a smile, "Is there something you need from me, Brother Quan?"
The greatest fears of the chief examiner, aside from cheating, are the possibility of a fire in the examination hall or inclement weather such as rain or snow
Fortunately, he also understands that at this moment he has just begun his cultivation, and the correct choice is to stay at home to practice and study steadily
Hearing the voice of the person, it was evidently still that of a child, and it seemed that the child recognized him as well. Shi Zhongkui couldn't help but wonder who was looking for him
There is a very small ear room over there by the main gate. Even though the location is not ideal and it is somewhat far from the imperial city, it is still worth several hundred taels of silver.
The examination was held three times consecutively, and the fourth month of the lunar calendar was not considered warm in ancient times. If one's health was poor, it was possible that after the examination, one would need assistance to exit.
As for the stove, do not even think about it
However, their methods are more covert, forcing Shi Daizi to become increasingly impoverished, rather than having someone like Jia Yucun, a fourth-rank magistrate of the Yingtian Prefecture, personally intervene.
Casually uttering the words 'thank you' immediately left Brother Quan in a state of astonishment
According to Shidai's memory, this fellow hardly has any friends apart from a few classmates
Uncertain whether he is fast or slow, Shi Zhongkui contemplated for a few seconds and estimated that it would take approximately one month for his spiritual energy to double.
After all, he is just an 11-year-old child, and he has heard quite a few of those mystical tales in the streets, such as the notion of sudden enlightenment.
It can be said that although the Shi family's house has only one entrance to the courtyard, the overall area is approximately 200 square meters, which is not considered small in the capital city.
Feeling a surge of joy, I resumed my training until my stomach began to rumble, at which point I finally stopped
This level of control does not seem to be weak
While Shi Zhongkui was worried, he soon thought to himself that this was the imperial city
Upon realizing, Shi Zhongkui turned his eyes and said with a smile, "Brother Quan, do not be afraid. I have recently made great progress in my studies, and the long-standing frustrations in my heart have been released in a single day. I am no longer the dull-witted stone fool who only buried himself in books and cared for nothing else, nor understood anything else."
Responded with a "please wait" while facing the direction of the main door
Otherwise, they would not send students to the door, just for that 500 wen guarantee fee, and they also have to bear the risk of being held accountable in case the candidate cheats, as the recommender is also liable.
Although it is not fully matured in 12 hours, judging by this upward trend, it is certainly maturing once a day
Upon hearing this, Shi Zhongkui immediately realized that the child before him had already believed in his heart, and then he thought about extracting some words from him.
To traverse the depths is relatively easy to articulate; in straightforward terms, it refers to the insight into the underworld and hell, seeing through the illusions.
