final stage

Lu Xi was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled, he tried to understand: "Is the ghost too powerful?" Zhu Yucheng didn't know how to answer him, so he simply said nonsense: "After all, people have to eat Five grains also have life and death. Wouldn't you become a god if you don't get hurt?" Lu Xi nodded back and let go.Zhu Yucheng turned around and was about to leave.But I heard a low voice behind me, "Where should I go now?"

Zhu Yucheng paused, thinking about it carefully, it was a foregone conclusion for Lu Xi to go back to the countryside for the exam, his parents had both died, and the world was in chaos, it was reasonable for him not to know what to do.

"Then what do you want?" Zhu Yucheng just stood there without turning around. "I know that I have no advantages. The only thing I can do is to read some words and do some rough work. If the Taoist leader doesn't dislike it, Xihui is willing to follow the Taoist leader back to the Taoist temple."

Zhu Yucheng had expected it a long time ago, and the corner of his mouth twitched: "Not everyone has the qualifications to be a Taoist priest. Since you have a grudge against Taoist priests from the beginning, why should you be willing to degenerate? Go back and do a few years of work, maybe you will be a Taoist priest." You will be able to pass the next township examination." As soon as the voice fell, Lu Xihui also knelt down on the ground: "Before, Xihui had little knowledge, but now that the country is in great trouble, there are still a few more years to wait? If you want to serve the country, why not just Now..." Zhu Yucheng interrupted coldly: "You think it's so easy to become a Taoist priest, which one of us didn't practice so much when we were young?"

Lu Xihui kowtowed anxiously: "It's good for Xihui to only learn a little bit of superficial knowledge, but at least try your best! Daoist, you should fulfill Xihui's wish." Zhu Yucheng waved his hand impatiently : "Don't kowtow, your life will be shortened. If you insist on this, then follow me for a few days first. If you pass the test, I will accept you as a disciple."

Lu Xihui was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed again, stood up with a smile on his face, and was about to walk behind Zhu Yucheng.Supervisor Chen next to him turned pale with fright, what if Lu Xihui, this stinky brat, came back to make trouble for him in the future?Supervisor Chen immediately ran forward to stop Lu Xi and said, "Young Master Lu, I was fooled by the lard about the white paper earlier. Now that I am instructed by the Taoist priest, I should give you justice. Why don't you stay and wait for me?" I hand over your original policy, and I will definitely give you an official position."

No matter who listened to this passage, they would believe that Supervisor Chen's prodigal son had returned, so a candidate also whispered in Lu Xi's ear: "It's not easy to learn the Tao, and now you are expected to be an examiner, so why bother to go into the muddy water?" Yu Cheng naturally heard his whisper, but he didn't want to pay attention.

Lu Xihui hesitated for a while, but still said firmly: "Since I have made up my mind, I will not change it. There are many ups and downs in the road to becoming an official. I am afraid that I will not be blessed if I return. Now I only hope to learn art as a way and help justice. .”

Zhu Yucheng originally didn't want to accept disciples, but he was relieved by this sentence.He didn't even know what he was nervous about just now. "Then why are you still standing there?" Zhu Yucheng asked, without waiting for Lu Xi to respond, he took a step, because he knew that Lu Xihui would definitely follow.Sure enough, Lu Xi laughed back and ran to Zhu Yucheng's side to follow, and the two left happily.Supervisor Chen completely sat down on the ground.The scholar next to him helped him up, and the two stared at each other, not knowing what to say for a while.

On the side of the imperial capital, Yi Moran's progress was smooth, and all ghosts, big and small, could not hide under the amulets of the master of Zhuyuan Temple.It's just that it was almost evening, and Yi Moran who returned to the inn was always a little uneasy. He frowned and didn't say a word. Si Wudu noticed it and asked, "But tired? If not, you should rest first. Dinner is served Come and I'll call you again." Yi Moran shook his head and sighed: "I've been feeling uneasy just now, now that I think about it, there will be disasters tonight." Si Wudu was also puzzled, logically he was by his side , there won't be anyone who doesn't have a good eye to cause trouble.

Yi Moran stood up, pasted the compass in his hand on a talisman, and then started to walk around the room. When the pointer stopped, he looked forward. Through the window, Yi Moran found the extremely hidden house.He and Si Wudu exchanged glances, flew downstairs one after another, and walked forward side by side.

"How can there be a house?" While walking, Yi Moran asked, "This is the outskirts of the imperial capital, how can there be a house?" Si Wudu was also surprised, but based on his intuition of being the King of Pluto for many years, this place is not simple.

Finally walking into the inner side of the house, it looks completely different from the outside. Looking in from the outside of the yard, you can still see the scene of overgrown grass and a disastrous defeat.But when they walked into the inner circle of the yard, what they saw outside the yard was completely different.Can't see it at all.

This chaotic grass was just an illusion used to confuse people, when Yi Moran and Si Wudu walked a few more steps and passed the chaotic grass.Only then did I realize that the yard was a piece of black land with no grass growing.

"How could this happen?" Yi Moran was also taken aback by this sight, he couldn't imagine that what he saw on the outside of the yard was a piece of decay overgrown with grass, while the inside of the yard was barren with no grass growing.

Seeing this unusual black ground, Yi Moran felt uneasy again.He took out the compass to have a look, only to find that the pointer of the compass started to run disorderly, and it was impossible to specify the direction at all.

He had seen it in Zhuyuanguan's study room.The so-called sky belongs to yang, the earth belongs to yin, and the surface of the earth is the place where yin and yang intersect. The pointer of the compass uses this sensitive intersection to point out yin and yang. At high altitude or underground, the sensitivity of the pointer will decrease.

And the compass became chaotic in this house, unable to point yin and yang.In other words, either this is an extremely sunny place, or this is an extremely yin place.

But in the extremely sunny place, the grass and plants should grow very vigorously.And this piece of land does not grow any grass, so it is definitely not a sunny place. On the contrary, this... is a shady place.It's just that I don't know whether it is congenital or artificial.

Yi Moran came to a clump of grass that was trying to hide it, there was no grass growing in other places, but there was a clump of grass here, Yi Moran was puzzled, and just wanted to push it away to see what was going on, but was stopped by Si Wudu. Zhang Lian took out a folding fan from the cloth bag and handed it to Yi Moran: "This place is so weird, you have to be careful in everything. It's safer to use a folding fan to push the grass away."

Yi Moran smiled awkwardly, and took the fan.Pushing aside the grass, I saw a layer of white lime on the surface of the black soil.With a light flick, a few pieces of broken jade appeared again.

Sure enough, Yi Moran's premonition was right, and the limestone field and broken jade just confirmed his guess.

Si Wudu saw the gloomy expression on his face while holding the broken jade, and asked in puzzlement: "What's wrong with Mo dyeing the broken jade?"

Yi Moran told him that it wasn't that the broken jade was wrong, but that the whole land was wrong. This is not a place for people to live at all.

Yi Moran sighed, and continued: "Lime is used for antisepsis. Grassland can live in people, but limestone land can't live in people, but ghosts live in it."

Looking at the broken jade in his hand, Yi Moran said: "The broken jade can absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, and is buried under the lime. After the lime is eroded, the essence becomes the most yin qi. From this, it can be explained that this This place is not used to build a house, nor is it used to grow flowers and grass, but..." After a pause for a while, Yi Moran spit out three words with a serious face: "Corpse."
