The Lord of the Laws of Heaven

Chapter 268: Examination, meeting Hong Yi
Today is the day of scientific examination.

The imperial examination began in Yujing City. Xiao Jun set out early in the morning and, under the earnest instructions of his uncle, headed towards the Imperial Examination Hall.

When we arrived at the Imperial Examination Hall, even though it was still early in the morning and the sky was not yet fully bright, there were already crowds of people!

Xiao Jun's thoughts easily swept through all of this, and everything was clearly visible in front of Xiao Jun.

After a while, Xiao Jun actually saw that Hong Yi had also arrived.

In front of the Imperial Examination Hall, there were many soldiers wearing military uniforms, with scimitars on their waists, and looking very powerful.

He walked slowly towards the interior of the Imperial Examination Hall and after a thorough body search, he saw several statues of the various philosophers enshrined in the Imperial Examination Hall.

They all wore tall crowns and coats, with resolute and upright faces, and a majestic temperament!

Xiao Jun saw more. There were countless thoughts gathered inside these holy statues of the philosophers, and these thoughts gathered together to evolve into various principles.

These principles are derived from the teachings of various schools of thought, and are also the principles that scholars all over the world use to worship holy images after reading and reciting those classics.

These holy images have no spirits and no thoughts, only a great and righteous principle, and only the righteous energy evolved from this great and righteous principle!
"The philosophers have left the world, but their teachings still exist. If someone inherits their teachings, can't we say that the philosophers have died out?"

"His way is also effective, and his true god will not perish!"

As long as there is one person in the world who inherits the teachings of the philosophers, their spirit cannot be said to have died out! This is the realm of a saint!

In fact, Xiao Jun had seen these holy images a long time ago, especially the Hongmeng Yuanshen, which was hidden in the invisible. Unless someone met a powerful person at the creator level, it would be impossible for anyone to discover Xiao Jun.

Looking at the images of these saints again this time, Xiao Jun had many insights in his heart.

"The teachings of the disciples still exist, so the disciples have not left!"

“This is a greater form of existence!”

"The Emperor's territory exists in reality, while the lords' territory exists in everyone's heart! The Emperor's territory is easily destroyed, but the lords' territory is difficult to destroy!"

Thoughts are flashing, and thinking is even more wild and unconventional!
Paying homage to the holy statues of the philosophers, the teachings left by these philosophers were of great help to Xiao Jun himself and provided him with a lot of nourishment. Naturally, they were worthy of Xiao Jun's worship!
If it were an ordinary god, an ordinary wild god, or the like, Xiao Jun's bow would be enough to shatter their souls and destroy their minds!

However, these holy images of the various philosophers could withstand Xiao Jun's worship, because there was no spirit in the holy images of the various philosophers, only the Tao! Because there was only the Tao, there was nothing to be born, and therefore nothing to be destroyed!
During this week when Xiao Jun relied on the Tao to carry him, he also exerted a tremendous power on these holy statues.

After entering the examination room nearby, Xiao Jun put away his writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, ground the ink, and waited for the exam.

I looked at the title "Panzhi lives in the deep mountains."

Xiao Jun picked up his pen and started writing. Of course, Xiao Jun would not put all his spiritual will into the article. Most of his spiritual will was spent elsewhere.

If Xiao Jun concentrated all his spiritual will to write the article, this ordinary paper would not be able to bear it and would turn into powder.

Even if Xiao Jun used his great magic power to maintain this piece of ordinary paper and condense it, such a piece of ordinary paper would be heavy enough to weigh thousands of pounds. If others wanted to read Xiao Jun's words, they would be directly inspired by Xiao Jun's spiritual will.

That surge of spiritual will is enough to scatter the soul of an ordinary person!

Xiao Jun could only maintain a basic state, relying on some imperial examination routines and some inspiration to write such an article!

After a long time, Xiao Jun handed in the paper directly.

……

Xiao Jun was walking on the road, but found that someone was looking at him and following him.

Turning around, I saw that the person was Hong Yi!
Hong Yi was looking at Xiao Jun in confusion at this time, with a gleam in his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

Xiao Jun smiled and walked straight towards Hong Yi. Hong Yi saw Xiao Jun coming in, straightened his clothes and stood up. When Xiao Jun approached, Hong Yi immediately bowed to Xiao Jun and said, "My colleague, have we met before?"

There was a hint of temptation in Hong Yi's words. He saw Xiao Jun before the exam, and then watched Xiao Jun hand in the paper early. His figure was so familiar, so much like the person who had saved him before!

This made Hong Yi interested, so after handing in his paper with Xiao Jun, he followed Xiao Jun out.

"Ha... yes, we have indeed met before!"

"Who are you?" Hong Yi felt very happy.

"This is not a place to talk. Let's go somewhere else first!" Xiao Jun said. Hong Yi nodded in agreement and then came to a tavern.

Xiao Jun casually took out a gold ingot, asked for a private room, and invited Hong Yi to go upstairs and into the room.

Xiao Jun naturally didn't care about this little bit of money. Not to mention that Xiao Jun had a Qiankun cloth bag filled with treasures that could rival a country, Xiao Jun's understanding of the transformation of material vitality was such that he could use the ancient furnace to turn lead blocks into gold blocks!

Xiao Jun still needs to hide a little bit of this, otherwise he would have easily refined pure red gold!
After entering the private room and all the necessary food and drinks were served on the table, Xiao Jun used his mind to directly block the void around him!
"Yes, this place has been blocked by me now, and no one can listen to our conversation!" Xiao Jun said.

But Hong Yi immediately stood up and bowed. He asked Xiao Jun:

"May I ask if you are the Master Hongmeng?"

"Haha, I'm only eighteen years old, just two years older than you!" Xiao Jun said, "The so-called Hongmeng Zhenren is just a code name I made up on a whim... You don't have to call me senior. My real name is Xiao Jun. You can just call me Brother Xiao or Brother Jun!"

"That day, I was going through a thunder tribulation. After I got through it, I discovered that your soul had been shattered, so I casually saved you!"

Xiao Jun said with a hearty smile!

"Then it's nice to meet Brother Xiao. Brother Xiao's casual action saved my life!" Hong Yi's expression was solemn and his will was firm, but he changed his mind and asked, "Brother Xiao is actually a master of thunder tribulation Taoism, why did he participate in the imperial examination like a scholar?"

"Brother Hong Yi, I was actually a scholar first, and then a cultivator!" Xiao Jun said to Hong Yi, "I was a scholar from the beginning, concentrating on reading and comprehending the truth. It was only because of a coincidence that I came into contact with the Taoist magic. My soul left my body and I directly survived the thunder tribulation, becoming a so-called thunder tribulation master!"

"Actually, after becoming a master of thunder tribulation, I have realized a lot of joy in freedom and ease, but my original intention is to use Taoism to understand the spirit of heaven and earth, and the spirit of humanity!"

"Taoism is just a tool for me to seek the truth!"

"Ah! It's so incredible!" Hong Yi's expression was extremely surprised. "After reading and understanding the spirit, scholars can actually reach this level? It seems that the previous Prime Minister Li Yan once said that if scholars adhere to the truth and have upright thoughts, they can be comparable to Taoist immortals. This is true!"

"Indeed! I was constantly comprehending the truth, reciting the teachings of various schools of thought, integrating them into my heart, and understanding the spirit within, and I was directly transformed into a Thunder Tribulation Ghost Immortal! But there was also a bit of luck involved, otherwise it wouldn't have been so smooth!" Xiao Jun nodded and said, then Xiao Jun changed the subject and said to Hong Yi:

"I see that you are practicing the Second Sutra of the Universe of the Supreme Dao!"

Hong Yi pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Brother Xiao, you have a keen eye! It is indeed the Second Sutra of the Universe of the Supreme Dao. How did you know this, Brother Xiao?"

"The reason is very simple. I am the young master of the so-called Supreme Dao. I also know the Second Sutra of the Universe. Traces of the Second Sutra of the Universe have appeared in your temperament and spiritual will!"

"Brother Xiao is actually the young master of Tai Shang Dao! I'm so sorry!" Hong Yi bowed again and said!

"Don't say that. Actually, I don't want to accept this identity!" Xiao Jun said, "After I became a Thunder Tribulation Ghost Immortal, I went out to travel, but I suddenly met Meng Shenji, the leader of the Supreme Dao! He directly pulled me into the Supreme Dao, and without my knowledge, he even promised me the position of the Young Master of the Supreme Dao!"

"As for this identity, I will use it when it is useful, and I will abandon it when it is useless!" Xiao Jun said!

"Such an experience... is quite mysterious!" Hong Yi also laughed. He found that the master he thought was "Master Hongmeng" was actually so friendly, and had a frank demeanor and a free and unrestrained nature.

He possessed both the gentlemanly demeanor of a scholar and the natural bearing of a Taoist! Although what happened to Xiao Jun was definitely not that simple, he also had a frank and open attitude, as if he had nothing to hide.
