Chapter 003: Li Liyuan on the Grass

Lu Changyuan was a little confused, but he explained patiently: "Of course, there is, passing the spring exam only allows you to enter the county college to take the second round of the exam. The second round of re-examination is to activate the divine palace in the body, give birth to the verbal signs, and evaluate the child. If the activation and pregnancy fail, it is not the right amount for the child. You will have to take the exam again next year."

Everyone nodded, and Huang Shihong said ashamed: "I can't even pass the first round of spring exam..."

Lu Changyuan patted Huang Shihong's shoulder and comforted him a few words, then said to himself: "Who is not here?"

He continued to explain: "But if a talented person activates the divine palace in his body by himself and gives birth to any talisman in advance, then he can be naturalized without a spring exam and enter the ranks of the children. Tongsheng can live in the county school college, read documents and classics for free, and lead the living money and food on time, just like Chen Dafu Hall, and rise to the top..."

Hearing the name Chen Dafutang, the rest of the people all showed envy and said in unison: "Chen Dafutang is a model of our Chu literati and other people, and we are imitating!"

Yue Heng knew in his mind that this divine palace and talismans are the most critical places, but it is quite difficult to obtain. Isn’t the literati’s hardship for a lifetime just for these fames?

No other poor students here know too much. It seems that they can only ask Lu Changyuan later.

"Since everyone knows it, I'll say it. Since it's an exam, well, that's the poem, lyrics, songs, hey, of course, the more talented you are, the better! As the saying goes, if you read 300 poems, you can't write poems and recite them. Well, that's the reason. As long as you read more, you will naturally pass this spring exam. Isn't that what I've done? How many times have I taken? Four times or five times? Oh, I can't remember it..."

Yue Heng was full of fooling around, and looked at these guys thinking, and laughed in his heart.

"Brother Yue has taken the exam four times and has made progress every time."

Lu Changyuan laughed, but then he sighed: "I can read 300 poems well, but I can't write poems, and I can recite them... There are not as many as 300 poems in the Book of Songs. I know that Brother Yue refers to a large number of documents. Unfortunately, we poor children cannot afford to buy too many documents and classics. How can we do this?"

"Difficult, difficult, difficult!"

The other students also shook their heads and sighed, with sad faces on their faces.

"How come there are not three hundred poems in the Book of Songs? How do I remember there are?" Yue Heng's heart was puzzled, but without thinking deeply about this question, he was more sad. The dilemma of poor students can be seen from him, and he can't even afford to buy incense.

But he soon had doubts again, and the printing of articles was not expensive, so why didn’t booksellers sell them in large quantities?

If all scholars in the world can read documents and classics, the number of literati must not soar!

There must be some reason why he doesn't know!

It was late at night, and the other poor students said goodbye and went back to their house to rest. Only Lu Changyuan and Yue Heng were left to chat with each other and talked freely.

Yue Heng just praised Lu Changyuan for being knowledgeable and continued to inquire and ask: "Brother Lu, how do you think those geniuses activated the divine palace in advance and gave birth to the secret charm?"

Lu Changyuan smiled and said, "Brother Yue, don't think about me, poor children! You should know that although there are many poems and essays in the world, only a small number can resonate with the tortoise shell talisman created by Emperor Fuxi. All of those geniuses read strange texts by chance, or the help of the family's external forces, have three necessary conditions: "resonance text", "immersive" and "heart Tao", plus some external forces and "opportunities", so that the talisman can be born. The first time it will activate the divine palace, and the second time it will expand..."

Yue Heng didn't understand very well, and wanted to ask a few more questions. He saw the waiter walking quickly and said respectfully: "Young Master Yue, there is a lady outside the door asking for a meeting."

"Are there any lady looking for me?" Yue Heng's first reaction was that he was amused and crying. He was a poor scholar and could not even have enough food. How could he afford to pay for prostitution? Which lady he knew?

Lu Changyuan smiled strangely and pointed at Yue Heng and shook his head: "Brother Yue is really hidden. He must have written excellent poems and essays and was appreciated. He came to cheer before the exam. Tell me, who is the lady of a family? How good is she? How good is her literary talent?"

Oh, so that's what this lady means...

Yue Heng's face turned red, but he was still not used to this world.

Originally, when there was a lady looking for him so late, he would definitely be suspicious, but when Lu Changyuan said this, he felt a little itchy again. Could it be that Yue Heng really wrote a good article before he starved to death that would win the smile of a beauty and gain appreciation?

It is also possible that he passed the first round of spring exams last year and failed in the second round of activation. After this year's preparation, a miracle really happened!

"The spring night is cold, Brother Yue, go quickly, don't let the beauty wait for a long time. The girl in the deep-boyed girl is embarrassed to meet in the daytime, so she can only visit her secretly late at night. Ha! If Brother Yue is a high school student this year and is so happy to bring the beauty back, she will definitely achieve a story of a literary master! After returning, Brother Yue must tell her new work to Brother Wei, so that she can also imitate her! "

Lu Changyuan pushed Yue Heng and said nodded to the side door of the restaurant. The waiter standing beside him also smiled secretly.

Yue Heng looked embarrassed, but he felt a little nervous and expectant. He followed the waiter's instructions to the side door and saw a slim and thin vague figure standing outside the alley, and he was delighted.

He quietly tidied up his old robe and walked over steadily. However, before he had walked a few steps, his eyes suddenly turned black. A black bag was wrapped around his head, and then the storm-like fists and feet were added together. His thin body was vulnerable and he quickly fainted from pain.

After a long time, Yue Heng had not come back, and the waiter yawned all over the sky. Lu Changyuan felt something was wrong. He frowned slightly, walked slowly to the side door, looked over, but saw the scene that surprised him.

“…killing…”

“…report to the official…”

"…The person is not dead yet... carry it in..."

“…Brother Huang…help…”

Yue Heng's turbid consciousness could only sense these. His whole body was in severe pain, especially his right arm, which was extremely painful. The soft tissues in his body were probably seriously injured. After hearing these sounds, he fell into a coma again.

Some residents were awakened by Lu Changyuan's shouts, and they opened the window and looked at the fun.

Huang Shihong and other poor students ran out without even wearing their clothes. Lu Changyuan called Huang Shihong, and the two of them raised their heads and feet, trying to carry Yue Heng into the restaurant.

"slow!"

The restaurant accountant and the chef rushed over. The accountant stopped the person and shouted tremblingly: "This person is seriously injured and cannot be carried in!"

The accountant is afraid that people will die in the restaurant and do not want to cause trouble.

Lu Changyuan suddenly understood and shouted angrily: "Didn't you collude with bandits and deceive Yue Heng out, which caused him to be seriously injured? You restaurant can't help but delay!"

The waiter was frightened and quickly explained: "I really saw the woman. How could it be that I colluded with a bandit? The martial arts army examination has just ended these days, and there are groups of drunken warriors who failed the exam every night. Maybe they did it!"

Lu Changyuan refused to listen to the explanation and said furiously: "The truth of the matter needs to be verified, but you still want to shirk responsibility. You will definitely not be able to escape the suspicion of the bandits! Get out of the way, I will carry it in!"

"Slow down!"

The chef and his servants stopped him. Without the order of the accountant, they refused to give way.

It is not a big deal to be so stalemate. The restaurant quickly agreed. The accountant came over and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Lu, please listen to my analysis. Do you have money to treat him? Do you have any connections to seek help from the government? What is his relationship with you? Is it worthy of you to offend all of us? If you can save this person for a while, can you save him for a lifetime? The spring exam is the most important thing, and it cannot be delayed!"

"this……"

Every time the accountant asked, Lu Changyuan tied a knot in his heart. Yue Heng must have been seriously injured by someone. He was forced to die at this time. I don’t know how long he could live. Even if I call Ling Medical tonight to save my life, who will take care of him tomorrow?

If Yue Heng becomes a useless person, who will take care of this life?

Everyone is a poor family, and no one has money. Who will bear the unknown amount of medical expenses?

"I am both a poor student, I can't stand by death and refuse to save me..."

Lu Changyuan said this very unconfidence and gave up, and he was looking for a way out.

The accountant's eyes rolled and said quickly: "There is an idle woodshed nearby to accommodate him. I will spend a few taels of silver to help me with my personal affairs tomorrow and they will decide! And I will handle everything well, and it will definitely not affect you in the spring exam next day. Otherwise, if you really want to attend the class as a witness, wouldn't you waste your time and delay this spring exam opportunity?"

"this……"

Lu Changyuan, Huang Shihong and others hesitated. Everyone and Yue Heng were just having a chance to meet each other. After a few words, even Lu Changyuan only knew each other at most. If they really stood up for him and delayed the spring exam, it would be really not worth it.

"Carry away and go to the woodshed!"

Seeing the students give in, the accountant quickly directed the order. Everyone panicked and carried Yue Heng to a remote woodshed, leaving waiter and Lu Changyuan to guard the guard. The other residents went back to sleep when they saw that it was nothing to do with them. The disaster seemed to fade away.

This happened in the middle of the night, no one reported the official, no one asked the spiritual doctor to save people. It really happened to the accountant, everyone was just doing their best. Anyway, they were just a scholar who no one valued!

When the chef brought the life-saving soup and fed Yue Heng with difficulty, the three of them didn't say it clearly, regardless of whether Yue Heng would die in the middle of the night. They each snatched the excuse and sneaked away. No one wanted to cause trouble.

It was winter before the spring exam. The woodshed was breathable and the cold wind blew in. Yue Heng, who was unattended, just lying in the pile of ragged clothes, waiting for death.

It was still painful to wake him up. The bowl of life-saving decoction worked and temporarily awakened his consciousness, but the piercing pain made him almost unable to bear it. He tried hard to open his eyes, saw the surrounding environment, and after thinking about it, he knew what was going on.

"I've just been through this one day... This damn cold world... Am I going to die again? No! I can't stand such humiliation, I have to live... But I..."

The pain of the broken arm started again. Yue Heng knew that his arm was probably useless. With anger and hatred, he actually clearly recalled the sound he heard when he was beaten. It was the guy called Shunhouer, who kicked him and sniffed to prevent him from seeing the sun tomorrow.

The severe pain in his arm was also caused by this Shunhou'er. Perhaps it was an iron stick. The purpose of these people was to break his arm so that he could not take the spring exam!

"Save your life first... I will settle the score with you when I recover my injuries..."

Yue Heng could only think of this, but how could he have any way to save his life?

The previous one was starved to death and was only worn by him, and he had no money on his body. How can he save his life?

"Are literati really a waste? No... I am a literati, and I can still become a child. The government will definitely devote its efforts to heal me, so that I can survive and have the opportunity to take revenge... Lu Changyuan said that activate the divine palace requires 'resonance text', 'immersion text', and 'heart'... I know that many poems and essays are in a desperate situation now. No matter how likely it is, I must give it a try!"

Yue Heng quickly searched in his heart. He was forced to death at this time. He had to find a resonance article to try to save himself. He wanted to survive!

The pain continued, his spirit was tense. Just as he was dying, he finally remembered a poem that could save himself. He opened his mouth, exhausted all his strength, and slowly and hardly spit out twenty words.

...

The grass on the plain,

Every year, it is withered and flourishing.

The wildfire cannot burn it all,

The spring breeze blows and grows again.
