Take the farm down to earth

Chapter 204 No Second Choice
Taking advantage of the time it would take to go to the Dijun Temple, Shi Zhongkui sat in the sedan chair, holding the psychic gem in his hand, after thinking for a while.

With a stir in his heart, he asked in a low voice, "Why don't I do some errand for you in the Emperor's Temple.

Even if the monk with the scarlet head and Taoist Pozu approached him, they would not dare to mess around in the Wenchang Emperor's Temple.

Not to mention, in case you are appreciated by the emperor, you don't have to worry about not having a backer when you succeed in cultivation and ascend to heaven in the future. "

After hearing this, Tongling Baoyu did exactly what Shi Zhongkui thought, and agreed without any hesitation.

He even joked that if he still picks and chooses, he is the most stupid person in the world.

Shi Zhongkui laughed. Originally, in his own mind, helping Qi Ling to go to heaven would probably expose his fact that he was alive with the God Stone.

But if you think about it carefully, unless Qi Ling is killed, he will not dare to go to heaven or stay in this world, there is a possibility of being exposed.

Sending him to the side of Emperor Wenchang, on the one hand, there is no need to worry about being threatened by others, and on the other hand, Emperor Wenchang is in charge of cultural and educational affairs, and there is no need to subdue demons and eliminate demons.

It can be said that working with him on errands brings comfort and no danger.

Once a person is at ease, he will not have the heart to fight, and he will not dare to break the status quo because of gains and losses.

Moreover, Qi Ling is hiding in Wenchang Emperor's Temple, no matter how powerful the monk with the scarlet head, Taoist Pozu is, it is impossible to find him.

There is no need to wait for 50 years. After three to five years, Shi Zhongkui is confident that he should be able to break through to the golden core stage.

At that time, Xuanli sword will be in hand, and he will learn to practice it into a sword book, and keep it so that the monks and Taoists will come and go.

Arriving outside the Dijun Temple, before getting out of the sedan chair, I heard Xue Pan laughing loudly.

Then the car curtain was raised, and Xue's chubby face appeared in front of him.

"Brother, if something good happens, you don't know how to call me, brother."

Xue Pan blamed him as soon as he opened his mouth, and it was not good for Shi Zhongkui to scold him for this matter.

Then Jia Lian scolded with a smile, "Yesterday, things were urgent and unexpected, so I didn't think about you. Besides, even if I called you, how can you help?"

Isn't it just like me, you can only stare dryly, and you can't help anything. "

Xue Pan suddenly shouted and made a fuss.

Shi Zhongkui didn't care how he argued with Jia Lian, and when he got off the sedan chair, he saw a sea of ​​people around him.

Immediately, he realized that there was still one and a half months before the county examination this year, and it was the New Year's Eve, so there really shouldn't be too many people coming to Wenchang Emperor Temple.

When the people nearby saw that it was really him, they immediately became lively.

However, all the scholars, scholars or scholars with great reputations, all bowed their hands and saluted to him, claiming to have seen 'Liu Yuangong'.

Shi Zhongkui hurriedly cupped his hands, and returned the salute to his surroundings.

Then he rolled his eyes and walked towards a few middle-aged men in Confucian robes who obviously had a certain reputation.

After clasping hands again, he said with a smile, "I have seen all the sages."

"Don't dare, dare not, I can't afford to be called Liu Yuangong like that."

A few people hurriedly bowed to the end, and then they smiled and said with a red face, "I have seen Liu Yuangong after the end of school, and I am really lucky to meet Liu Yuangong today."

"Senior is polite, but I forgot for a moment that the beginning of February is the month of Yingju. It is really disturbing the people to pay homage to the emperor with such great fanfare."

In fact, Shi Zhongkui didn't need to call these juren and scholar seniors at all.

The examination room has always been judged by ranking, not to mention that these people are not even Jinshi.

But again, being humble is never a bad thing.

Otherwise, when scholars hate you, they will really do everything they can.

It is common to spread rumors, slander, and even make up stories.

What I am most afraid of is that when writing biographies of celebrities, there will be nine truths and one false, so that future generations will not be able to tell the truth from the false.

Even if Shi Zhongkui is the leader of the six yuan, his life will be recorded in official history, but compared to novels, biographies, lace anecdotes and operas.

The degree of dissemination of official history is basically equal to 0. If the public hears too much, they will think that official history is fake.

So Shi Zhongkui, who knows these things well, has always provoked me, and he will hate me if it is beneficial.

Right, that is to be as humble and close to the people as possible, and never do things that hinder or damage the interests of the majority of people.

Anyway, even with seniority, the speed of promotion will not be slower than others.

Not to mention, I don't lack ways to make meritorious deeds.

And the more polite he is today, the more these people will praise him more and help him build a bigger and better reputation among scholars when they go back.

Sure enough, when the scholars around saw his posture so low, their faces turned red with excitement.

"Where is Liu Yuangong, you are also a scholar, we can come to see the emperor, there is no reason why you can't come.

Besides, as the leader of the world under Duke Liuyuan, you come to expose Emperor Wenchang, which is actually advocating Confucianism and Taoism, and setting an example for scholars and people in the world. "

As soon as these words came out, the scholars and civilians around couldn't help nodding in agreement.

Of course Shi Zhongkui understands the star effect, so he stopped being polite and bowed his hands to everyone with a smile, "Since this is the case, then I will do my part today.

First of all, I beg the emperor to bless my great Zhou culture and education. All the sages present have their wishes come true, and it is best for someone to win the championship in one fell swoop. "

"Hahaha."

Shi Zhongkui didn't talk about scholars all over the world, but only said that the scholars present here can achieve their wishes.
These words are probably the people present, what they like to hear the most this year, and what they want to hear the most.

Moreover, in the past, in every restaurant in the capital, the price would increase three to five times, or even dozens of times, just for the seniors who had passed the Jinshi examination in a certain room.

Now that Shi Zhongkui, the leader of the six yuan, personally blessed it, the scholars at the scene almost went crazy with joy.

All of a sudden, there were voices of thanks outside the Dijun Temple.

Some even brought their children to ask the emperor to bless them.Hold down his nephew and make them kneel on the ground and worship Shi Zhongkui as a mascot.

I hope to get some literary spirit from him.

As for Shi Zhongkui's statement that he "does his part", no one thinks there is any problem.

Besides, Shi Zhongkui said it, please ask the emperor to bless everyone.

Given how superstitious the ancients were in this regard, anyone who objected at this time would be beaten to death in the street.

And even if the government knew about it, they would probably think that this person was to blame and would not arrest him at all.

When Xue Pan, Xue Bian and everyone in the Jia family followed Shi Zhongkui, they were all honored.

Some people even recognized Xue Pan and Jia Lian, which is called envy and hatred.

And the more lively Xue Pan is, the more excited and excited he is. If Xue Biao hadn't pulled him, he would have taunted him triumphantly.

Fortunately, Shi Zhongkui couldn't see behind him, and he was even more worried that someone would let him write poems in front of the Emperor's Temple, otherwise Xue Pan would definitely have a hard time in the future.

Therefore, when meeting the immortals and gods of the temples along the way, they seemed a little eager.

Everyone just thought that he didn't want to take up too much time on this matter, preventing the people behind from coming in to worship.

Moreover, Shi Zhongkui really prayed to Emperor Wenchang, Wenqu Xingjun and other bigwigs that he hoped that the culture and education of the Great Zhou Dynasty would flourish, and that the scholars who came to worship today would have good grades in this subject.

With these words, the people present were already so excited that they couldn't contain themselves, and then it was too late to kneel and worship, who cares whether Shi Zhongkui can write poems or not.

Even the people behind wished that he could go to other halls earlier so that they could go in and worship and pray.

As for the purpose of Shi Zhongkui's visit this time, the most important thing is actually to offer merits and virtues in order to repay the promise he made when he first came.

After the Big Dipper received the merit, of course he didn't care about other offerings.

Even every time they entered a hall, these Xingjun personally lowered their spiritual consciousness and said a few words to him.

However, when he saw Wu Qu Xingjun, the old man's expression was obviously a little unhappy.

After Shi Zhongkui thought about it for a while, he thought that the heavenly court was ready to conquer Sun Houzi, who became the demon king in the lower realm.

Didn't realize that wasn't the case at all.

Wu Quxing didn't want to say it at first, after all, it would be embarrassing to say it.

But seeing that Shi Zhongkui had only been down to earth for more than two years, a golden light of merit and virtue appeared in his spirit, even he faintly showed a hint of envy.

And with today's events, the incense of the Wenchang Emperor's Temple must be even more prosperous.

The ones who can benefit the most are definitely Wenchangxing and Wenquxing.

Even Tanlang and Pojunxing are more popular than him, thinking about it, he can't help but think that Shi Zhongkui really has some skills.

If I promise him some benefits, or even just mention a few words, in exchange for more incense and merit, I have no reason not to do it.

"Shou Shi, for your sake of respect, I would like to give you a few words, would you like to listen to me?"

Shi Zhongkui froze for a moment, and then suddenly realized that he was the guard of the imperial horse supervisor at the beginning.

I hurriedly bowed down, and said silently in my heart, "Yes, Mr. Xie Xingjun." '

Wu Quxing nodded in satisfaction. What he likes most is smart, witty and obedient people.

"Looking at the merits and virtues in your soul, if this god is you, you should go back to heaven earlier, or ask someone to take care of it for you, and ask for an official position, which is countless times better than you are not even a small official now."

As soon as Shi Zhongkui heard it, he knew that Wu Qu Xingjun was planning to use his own merits.

But if you refuse, you are a fool.

But let Wu Qu Xingjun ask the price, it is also a stupid horse.

If it were Monkey Sun, he would probably believe it.

Although the monkey has a lot of ideas, he can still keep his promises. Unfortunately, he can only believe half of the promises he made.

It's not that he doesn't believe in his character, but whether he can do it is a question mark.

As for Wuqu Xingjun, he can do things like playing with monkeys, and his character can be imagined.

And just thinking about it, you know that the Heavenly Court has been running for countless years, and the official positions have long been allocated. Do the gods have to worry about Shouyuan? Where are there vacancies?

Even if there are, there is a high probability that they are some officials who specialize in subduing demons and eliminating demons, and are responsible for conquering all parties for the heavenly court.

As a small character who has not yet become a fairy, I really agreed, and I didn't know how to die.

"Young Xie Xingjun supports me. It's just that my ability is low. Even if I get an official position, I may not be able to secure it. Moreover, the villain has only been in the mortal world for more than two years. I don't know how to repay the adult."

As soon as Wu Qu Xingjun heard it, he understood that this guy wanted to know what kind of official position he was seeking and how much he would have to pay.

However, the most critical thing is the sentence, 'I have only been in the mortal world for more than two years'.

If you give him another 50 years, even if he is a fourth or fifth rank official in heaven, it will be easy for him to do so.

Of course, it does not mean that the more merit you have, the greater your official position will be.

But the Jade Emperor would definitely like to have a person with immeasurable merit beside him, who would be accepted as an official by the Heavenly Court.

Even if you don't want to really do something, it would be better to have a casual job.

Once there are more meritorious persons in the heavenly court, in a sense, it means that the heavenly court has greater luck.

Wu Qu Xingjun smiled and said, "If you are worried that you are not capable enough, you might as well ask for the position in the main hall of the Imperial Horse Supervisor."

Shi Zhongkui shook his head when he heard it.

Leaving aside the monkeys, Xue Gui, the deputy supervisor of the Yumajian, and Jia Shan, the Dianbo, must be thinking that they can straighten themselves.

"Idiot", Wu Qu Xingjun said with a sneer, "Do you think that the heavenly court is the same as the mortal world, and the deputy supervisor is qualified to be the supervisor?

If that was the case, the Heavenly Court would have been in chaos long ago.

Moreover, there are many immortal gods with quality but no job. Do you really think that if the supervisor of the Yumajian is not popular, he has no real power and no one cares? "

Shi Zhongkui was taken aback for a moment, and after careful consideration, he finally understood.

Some people don't like to do things, and there are also people who want to do things but don't have the opportunity to do them.

Wu Qu Xingjun saw that he seemed to understand, and said again, "There are only so many positions in the heavenly court, but there are countless gods with ranks.

Take a position first, if you make meritorious service in the future, you, the supervisor, cannot become a ninth-rank supervisor, or even a sixth-rank supervisor?

At that time, compared with your colleagues with no official position, your status in the heavenly court must be higher than theirs.

Besides, where is the Yumajian?
As a head of raising horses, no matter what, it will not be your turn to go down to conquer the demons everywhere, but you can enjoy blessings in the heavenly court and enjoy countless years of life.

You and that monkey can't even understand a good position that others can't even ask for, it's really stupid. "

Now Shi Zhongkui didn't know how to refute.

Although the monkey is angry with the sky and the earth, he really planned to go to heaven to be an official from the beginning.

And after going to the Yuma Prison, although he was not conscientious, he thought about taking care of those Tianma.

As soon as I went, I thought about letting the horses go, and I still went to the Tianhe where the water and grass are abundant.

It's just that people like monkeys are willing to live in heaven for the elderly.

He also felt that Tianting looked down on people and deceived himself, so in a rage, he went to Tianting to raise the flag to rebel.

But if Wu Qu Xingjun hadn't lied to him, then Yu Ma Jian was really suitable for a person like him.

A little bit of power, with subordinates.

And no big boss would think about it. When the heavenly soldiers and generals conquered the lower realms, they would fly by themselves instead of riding horses.

That is to say, the risks and liabilities are minimal.

It's really not too comfortable to live by yourself behind closed doors.

Besides, at this time, besides the Imperial Horse Supervisor, where is there any position in the Heavenly Court that is suitable for a newcomer like me who is nothing?

But Shi Zhongkui really couldn't believe Wu Qu Xingjun, this guy has a criminal record.

After thinking about it, Shi Zhongkui suddenly realized.

I don't have the ability of a monkey at this time, and even if I don't go to heaven to hang out in the future, if I don't want to reincarnate after death, I will lose the memory of the previous life and become another person.

Is there a second option?
Even if he succeeds in cultivating immortals, he still has to ascend to the heavens, and he still has to face the current situation.

In this case, it is better to think about how to make Wuqu Xingjun or Tianting feel useful.

Isn't this principle the same as being an official or doing business in the world.

What else is there to worry about.

As for Wu Qu Xing Jun Tu himself, no need to think about it, it must be a merit.

If you don't want to die, you should be an official first to avoid becoming cannon fodder, and then consider other principles.

Shi Zhongkui asked without hesitation, "My lord, what do you need to prepare?"
