After arriving, Lu Zheng simply stayed in Baiyun Mountain for about ten days, and spent some time in the Buddhist Scripture Pavilion, where he learned some books and information about refining the magic weapons related to Baiyun Temple.
After coming out of the Sutra Pavilion, I went to visit some seniors in the back mountain who were not in retreat. I drank tea and played chess with them before saying goodbye and leaving.
…
Back in Tonglin County, Lu Zheng saw some scholars of different ages in the city before the clouds had even settled.
Lu Zheng's eyes flashed, "The annual local examination is about to start again?"
Lu Zheng concealed himself and arrived at the gate of the county academy. He saw the scholars lining up, and under the arrangement of the yamen at the gate of the academy, they were searched and entered to prepare for the exam.
"Already started?"
Lu Zheng's heart skipped a beat, and he could no longer hold back his curiosity, so he didn't even return home, but soared directly into the clouds and flew straight to Yizhou Mansion.
"I want to take a look. Zhu Yushan hasn't left the house for half a year now. He's just waiting for this exam. He can't continue to miss it, right?"
Lu Zheng Tengyun quickly reached the sky above Yizhou Mansion. As a result, before he could go to the academy to sense Zhu Yushan's location, he sensed Chu Jin who was floating above the state government.
"Master Chu?"
"Master Lu!"
Seeing Lu Zheng approaching in the clouds, Chu Jin moved and came over to greet him, "Young Master Lu came to Yizhou Mansion. What's the important matter?"
Lu Zheng bowed his head and replied harmoniously, "It's nothing important, I just came to take a look."
Hearing this, Chu Jin couldn't help but be curious, "Come and take a look?"
"Yes, exactly." Lu Zheng nodded seriously.
Although all the relatives and friends around him knew about Zhu Yushan's repeated failure to catch up with exams, not many people in the cultivation circle knew about it, so it was difficult for Lu Zheng to tell Chu Jin clearly.
"Gene Era"
So Lu Zheng could only say, "I just came back from Baiyun Mountain. I saw that there were many more students in the county preparing for the exam, and it was quite lively. I thought that the state capital must be more lively, and I happened to want to eat snacks from Anhezhai in the city. Well, just come over and take a look, and take some snacks back with you."
Chu Jin couldn't help but laugh, "Young Master Lu, you have such a pleasant life."
Lu Zheng chuckled and said, "Some people don't seek to make progress, just laugh and laugh."
"Where!" Chu Jin said seriously, "To practice Taoism, both talent and state of mind are indispensable. Mr. Lu has an easy-going and indifferent nature. He is in line with the Taoist way of peace and nature. He is in line with the Taoist heart and does not seek Taoism. Instead, his cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds. , he is a role model for our generation."
Lu Zheng, "..."
Jade seal, "..."
It's amazing. It sounds like it's true. If I didn't have a jade seal in my mind, I might really believe it.
"Master Chu, this is..."
Chu Jin said, "Today's state examination, countless students are here. To prevent others from causing trouble, I will stay here for one day to guard the whole city."
"I see, thank you for your hard work, sir!"
"Eating the emperor's salary is a matter of loyalty to the emperor." Chu Jin said with a smile, "The exam is a local event. Although it is a matter for ordinary people, the government office, the Zhenyi Division and the Chenghuang Temple all went out together to avoid accidents."
Lu Zheng took a look around, and sure enough he saw hundreds of government officials patrolling the streets. Masters from the Suppressing Yi Division were stationed on one side, and the Chenghuang Temple also faintly emitted a golden divine light, frightening ghosts everywhere.
So Lu Zheng said, "Then I won't disturb Mr. Chu. I'll go down for a walk, buy some snacks and then go back."
Chu Jin cupped his hands and said, "Young master Lu, please go on your own. I'm sorry for Chu's poor hospitality."
"Don't dare, please!"
Lu Zheng returned the greeting, then lowered his cloud head in a remote alley and lifted the invisibility spell.
Walking out of the alley, directly opposite is the location of the State Academy, where the state examinations are held.
Lu Zheng stood next to the academy for a moment, and then his face looked very strange.
He had just sensed it and found no aura of Zhu Yushan in the academy. In other words, Zhu Yushan was not in time for the exam.
Lu Zheng was speechless. What happened this time?
Did he forget the time, or did he encounter another accident on the road? But now that Zhu Yushan has been a master of Taoism for hundreds of years, he won't be delayed by any mundane things anymore, right?
Lu Zheng was speechless for a while, so he walked all the way through the examination room, then came to Anhezhai and bought a few bags of snacks.
These dim sum are made with traditional craftsmanship, rich in ingredients, and are expensive. In terms of taste, they are not inferior to those in modern Daoxiang Village.
Lu Zheng carried the snacks and walked past the bookboys, housekeepers, maids, and servants who were worried about his young master. Then he moved and disappeared in the blind spot of everyone's sight.
Coming out of the east gate of Yizhou Mansion, Lu Zheng put the snacks into the gourd, and then walked and looked around. Soon he came to the Lushui Ferry, but he never saw Zhu Yushan.
Raising his eyebrows, Lu Zheng shook his head, played the Water Avoidance Technique, and then got off the Lushui River. All the way to the Lushui River God's Mansion, he saw a car with two cars parked outside the luxurious Lushui River God's Mansion. A cart pulled by a catfish.
"Huh?" Lu Zheng's eyes flashed, "We have a visitor from the Lushui River God's Mansion. Could this be the reason why Zhu Yushan missed the exam?"
"Who is coming!"
As soon as Lu Zheng approached, two water tribes approached from the left and right.
"Master Lu?"
"I've met Mr. Lu!"
"Master Lu is here to see my young lady and uncle? I will go and report it right away."
The two water tribes recognized Lu Zheng and were talking to him. At this moment, the door of the Lushui River God Mansion opened with a creak, and the River God couple and Li Hanyu accompanied the other three people out.
"Master Lu?"
"Uncle Li! Aunt Li!" Lu Zheng bowed his hands to the Lushui River God couple, and then nodded to Li Hanyu, "I have met Mrs. Sister-in-law."
"Brother Lu, it's a coincidence that you're here. Let me introduce you to him." Li Hanyu pulled another young and beautiful girl and said with a smile.
"This is Lu Zheng, a disciple of Baiyunguan. He is extremely talented and has an unpredictable Taoism."
"This is the Wan Yuan River God family. They just took office a few days ago. This is Miss Huang Yuying and Huang. We felt like old friends at first sight."
Lu Zheng showed off his Baiyun Qi, raised his hands and saluted, "I've seen a few of you!"
"Hello, Mr. Lu!"
Wan Yuan River God's family also hurriedly saluted. Lu Zheng showed that his cultivation was much higher than them. While they saluted, they expressed their feelings that Lushui River God deserved to be in office for a hundred years. He really made a lot of friends.
"Master Lu is here. He must have something to do, so we won't disturb him."
After meeting each other, Wan Yuan River God said to Lushui River God, and then said goodbye to everyone, got into the catfish car, and left Yu Shui under the protection of four water tribe guards.
On the other side, the Lushui River God family looked at Lu Zheng, and Li Hanyu asked, "Brother Lu, is there something wrong?"
Lu Zheng looked around and couldn't help but ask, "Brother Zhu, is he here?"
Li Hanyu smiled and said, "Today is the day of the state examination. Brother Lu, doesn't he know?"
Lu Zheng blinked, looking confused, and asked again, "So Brother Zhu went to take the exam?"
Li Hanyu nodded, "That's right! Uncle Huang's family will come over in the morning, my parents will welcome the guests, and I also want to entertain Miss Huang's family, so Yushan set off to the state capital alone."
Lu Zheng, "..."
