final stage

Here, Moran and Wudu are cleaning up ghosts around the imperial capital, and their stories will not be mentioned for the time being.On the other side, Zhu Yucheng returned to the Taoist temple irregularly.He was dressed in civilian clothes but full of hostility, his arrogant eyes swept over everyone on the street.At this time, Zhu Yucheng was in the "Night Navigation Capital" at the border of Yongsheng. This place had frequent exchanges with small countries on the border, and there were often constant shipping at night, so it got this name.

It's just that this city is not located in the south of the imperial capital, nor is it in the north where there is a drought, but a small oriental city far away from right and wrong.Due to the large number of people fleeing, the small town seemed a bit chaotic at this time.Of course, nothing can compare to Yanyun Pavilion, which is publishing the list now.A few days ago, Yehang just held a township examination, and today is the day to publish the list.It is understandable that such a place is more lively, but this time it is noisy.

Zhu Yucheng was already irritated by Yi Moran's orders, and he was injured again, so he decided to practice in Yehangdu recently to improve the secret technique.After making up his mind, Zhu Yucheng put away his hostility, put on a kind smile and walked slowly towards the Yanyun Pavilion. With internal strength accumulated under his feet, he came to the gate of the Yanyun Pavilion in a short while.The two lists were posted outside the door, but there were not many people looking at the lists. Instead, they all gathered in the hall, surrounding a few people to watch the excitement.Zhu Yucheng glanced at the list indifferently, and walked into the pavilion with contempt.

"It's just that I didn't give you any money or gifts, and I just wanted to pass the provincial examination in a dignified way. You money-greedy supervisors are so bold as to change my paper for a blank paper! I... I want to sue the officials!"

As soon as he stepped into the Yanyun Pavilion, Zhu Yucheng heard a nice voice shouting in grief and indignation. For some reason, Zhu Yucheng heard this angry cry that contained grievances and resentment, even though he had been fighting with his innocence all day long. He, who was against the viewer, couldn't help wanting to seek justice.

He pushed aside the crowd, only to see a man wearing a white long gown that was uniformly issued during the provincial examination. Half of his bun was still untiedly untied. A fat man.

Zhu Yucheng stared at the man in white for a full quarter of an hour, and the quarrels between them gradually spread to his ears. It turned out that the man in white was called Lu Xihui, his parents died early, and he worked to raise money while studying. It was not easy to pass the exam, but ended up like this.

This scholar was so clean that people couldn't look away. Zhu Yucheng realized his gaffe, and coughed in embarrassment.Most of the onlookers were candidates who had passed the rankings this time, and their future was in the hands of the fat supervisor named Chen, so no one was helping him at the moment.

"Now the imperial capital is in chaos, and there is a severe drought in the north. Everyone is in danger. You go and sue, and see who can take care of you. You are dying of laughter. You, a poor scholar, so what if you pass the exam? Can you still replace the Taoists? Catch ghosts?" Supervisor Chen counted the money he had just obtained, disdainfully.Lu Xihui originally just wanted to get back his breath, but when he heard the word "ghost", Lu Xihui raised his head suddenly and shouted: "I don't believe it! If I don't believe in people, I can't fight ghosts and gods. If I am an official, One is not to be greedy for money, two is not to rob people, and three is not to neglect one's duties. I don't believe that people are so incompetent and can only resign themselves to fate?"

Everyone present was dumbfounded, and so was Zhu Yucheng, but when he thought of this sentence many years later, he realized that it was - predestined origin.

Seeing that the Taoist was about to be involved, one of the examinees finally saw Zhu Yucheng dressed in commoner clothes, and he said loudly: "Don't argue, there is a Taoist priest here." Turning to Zhu Yucheng, even Lu Xihui, who had just turned his back to Zhu Yucheng, also turned around.Coincidentally, they were facing each other with Zhu Yu's eyes, and both of them were stunned for a moment, but it was only a moment of beauty.

Because Supervisor Chen came quickly, his fat face was full of smiles: "Look at Taoist Priest's clothed Taoist gown, I'm afraid he is from Zhuyuan Temple?" The disgust in Zhu Yucheng's heart did not show on his face at all, He still gave his name kindly: "The master of the poor Taoist school came out of Zhuyuan Temple, and now he is the chief disciple in charge of Zhuyuan Temple. His surname is Zhu, and his name is Yu Cheng."

Hearing that he reported himself as his teacher, the scholars' etiquette came out, and everyone around him bowed to Zhu Yucheng to show their respect.Only Lu Xihui was still stunned, and suddenly he couldn't say what he was full of resentment.

That Supervisor Chen was already impatient and pestered Lu Xihui for a long time. Seeing his rudeness now, Supervisor Chen was so embarrassed that he stretched out his hand to give Lu Xihui a slap. Lu Xihui didn't know what he was thinking. He didn't even dodge.Zhu Yucheng frowned handsomely, and used his inner strength to fly to Lu Xihui's side, and threw out a talisman to immobilize the three souls of Supervisor Chen. At this moment, Supervisor Chen's hand was stopped in mid-air, looking so funny.

Lu Xihui finally came back to his senses, and saw that Supervisor Chen was restrained, and only then did he realize that Zhu Yucheng had helped him. This action made Lu Xihui's prejudice against Taoist priests disappear a lot. "What were you thinking about just now, you always stand still and let others beat you?" Zhu Yucheng asked amusedly.Lu Xihui smiled embarrassedly, a little embarrassed.

Zhu Yucheng didn't delve into it, just turned around and untied Supervisor Chen's talisman with a flick of his hand. As soon as he untied it, Supervisor Chen fell to his knees, trembling and unable to speak clearly.Zhu Yucheng put away the disgust in his eyes, and said in a soft voice: "You did something wrong in the first place, so how can you have any reason to beat others? Today I seal you three souls is just a small precept, remember that in the future you must It's good to be fair and honest." Zhu Yu was disgusted by these righteous words, but Supervisor Chen dared not listen, the man in front of him had fixed himself with a single talisman, who knew what tricks he had waiting for him.

When Lu Xi saw that the "superior" Supervisor Chen was so unbearable, it was only because of the amulet of this man in front of him. He couldn't help but feel secretly refreshed, and he also felt a little awe of the Taoist priest surnamed Zhu.

Zhu Yucheng was not a nosy person either, seeing that the matter was over and the people around him had dispersed, he was about to leave, but Lu Xihui grabbed his wrist.Zhu Yucheng lowered his voice coldly: "What's the matter?" Lu Xihui was startled by the tone, but he didn't let go of Zhu Yucheng's wrist, but held it even tighter.He acted so boldly, but his heart was too timid, and his words were even more lacking in confidence: "Dao... Daoist, where are you going on this trip?"

Zhu Yucheng was stunned by the question, yes, Ye Hang said that he was not too small, and it was his first time here, where should he go to practice?But he didn't tell Lu Xihui this question, he just said: "I was injured in fighting with ghosts earlier, and I'm planning to find a place with plenty of spiritual power to practice and heal my injuries..." Hearing this, Lu Xihui immediately let go of his hand in shock, I was afraid that it would hurt Zhu Yucheng's wound.

"Internal injury." Zhu Yucheng was still teased and explained it, but after thinking about it, he suddenly realized why he had to explain.

Fortunately, Lu Xihui didn't pay attention, he said: "It turns out that such a powerful person as the Taoist leader will be injured..."

"Why not?" Zhu Yucheng asked back.
