Ma Qin immediately turned his head and looked in the direction Wang Yang pointed.
He was very curious about what the mysterious Talisman Master looked like.
At the end of the long and cramped corridor, a pair of boys and girls were talking and laughing, walking towards them.
The girl is petite, with high black hair, fresh cheeks, and a goose-fat nose; and the black "Qiyao suit" adds a bit of heroism to her delicate appearance.
The young man is wearing a green cloth shirt and a Xiaoyao scarf. He has a slender figure, a fair complexion, slender eyebrows and bright eyes, and an outstanding temperament. The corners of his mouth are naturally upturned, and he still has a three-point smile even when he is not smiling. meaning.
Before Ma Qin could react, Wang Yang rushed in front of the young man in green shirt, and said with a smile:
"Brother Gu, you finally Here we are! There is a new guy in our yamen, and he said he wants to meet you!"
Hearing this, Ma Qin stared at the young man in green shirt and frowned.
The Fu Dao master of Yishui Yamen is so young?
He felt unbelievable.
If he remembered correctly, his competitor Gu Xu seemed to be a young man who had not yet been crowned.
Could it be that the cultivation genius Gu Xu and the Fu Dao master "Brother Gu" are really the same person?
Could it be that while practicing and doing tasks, this guy also cultivated the Tao of Talisman to a very high level?
Where did he get so much time?
But what makes Ma Qin jealous the most is that this bastard can not only learn the difficult and difficult knowledge of Talismans, but he is also handsome and elegant, chatting and laughing with beautiful girls all the way——
< p>It is completely different from what I imagined as a slovenly ascetic who neither eats nor sleeps.Ma Qin suddenly felt so uncomfortable that he wanted to cry when he thought that he was almost thirty-five years old and had not yet married a wife.
This damn world is so unfair!
However, out of the basic etiquette of Daqi officialdom, he still took a deep breath, forced himself to stay calm, and took the initiative to say hello to the young man and woman.
First of all, he clasped his hands and bowed to the black-robed girl with an official position: "Young official Ma Qin has seen you!"
Then he squeezed out a smile on his face With a stiff smile, he looked at the handsome young man in green shirt: "I am in Ma Qin, Qingzhou Prefecture. May I ask what I call this brother?"
The young man in green shirt smiled slightly and replied: "I am in Xia Yi. Shui Gu Xu. ”
Gu Xu! It’s really Gu Xu!
Ma Qin clenched his fists and tried hard to restrain his urge to curse.
At the same time, Wang Yang next to him did not forget to add another blow: "Brother Gu, this new brother Ma said that he had read some books on Talismanism and admired the monks who are proficient in Talismanism the most. If you have time, maybe you can share your experience with him.”
“Brother Ma, have you learned Fu Dao?” Gu Xu asked with a smile.
“I know a little bit about it.” Ma Qin replied bravely.
"Me too," Gu Xu replied humbly, "I started learning Fu Tao three months ago, and I only know a little bit about it now. I will have to ask Brother Ma for more advice in the future."
When he spoke, Gu Xu's eyes were clear and his smile was sincere. There was no hypocrisy like being a good person after getting an advantage.
It can be seen that what he said was not polite words, but the truth.
However, it was this sincere attitude that made Ma Qin feel as if he had received a 10,000-point critical hit, making it difficult to breathe in pain.
His legs softened, his body swayed, and he leaned weakly against the pillar in the corridor.
"Brother Ma, are you okay?" Gu Xu asked with concern.
"I...I'm okay," Ma Qin turned his head, not wanting to see his handsome face again, "I just didn't eat breakfast, and now I'm a little dizzy."
< p>In fact, Ma Qin went out after breakfast.But in order to save face, he could only make up temporary excuses.
At this time, Shi Xiaohan, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke: "This is easy to handle. The fried dough sticks and sesame seed cakes made by our Yamen Kitchen are delicious. Wang Yang, why don't you take Brother Ma with you? A trip to the public kitchen? He has to take the exam later, so he can’t do it on an empty stomach.”
“Yes, Master Shi!” Wang Yang agreed with a smile.
…………
When the early morning sun climbed up to the eaves, the honor guard of the Luo Jing examiners finally walked along the wide "Zhengqi Street" towards the Exorcism Department Yamen. Come on.
The examiner’s name is Chu Fengge, a fourth-level monk who holds the position of “Mr. Zhong” at the Daqi Exorcism Division’s capital headquarters, with an official rank of fifth rank.
"Langzhong" is not a doctor, but an official who follows and assists.
The position of Mr. Chu can be understood as the secretary to the head of the exorcism department.
According to common sense, sending a fifth-grade official to a remote small county like Yishui as an examiner seems to be overqualified and underused.
But for some reason, Chief Luo, the current head of the Exorcism Department, paid special attention to this trivial assessment, and forced Chu Fengge to end his vacation early and make a special trip to Yishui by deducting his salary.
"Two low-level ants are vying for a ninth-grade official position. Is it worthy of me to go there in person?" Chu Fengge disagreed with this in his heart.
But the chief minister had an order, and he did not dare to disobey it.
The people of Yishui County have obviously never seen such a big official.
In the Daqi Dynasty, there were strict rules and regulations for official travel rituals.
For example, the number of bearers is determined by the rank of the official. The bigger the official, the more bearers there are. There are four, six and eight bearers.
For another example, when officials travel, someone needs to sound the gong in front of them to clear the way - officials of the seventh rank blow the gong seven times, officials of the fifth rank blow the gong nine times, and officials of the third rank or above blow the gong eleven times.
When hearing the sound of gongs, civilians need to consciously give in. If you fail to give in in time and conflict with the guard of honor, you are in contempt of the court and need to be severely punished.
At this moment, Chu Fengge was wearing a black gauze hat and a Qiyao suit, sitting lazily on a six-carriage sedan.
Behind and behind the sedan, there was an honor guard beating gongs and drums, holding high the words "Quiet" and "Avoid" signs.
Seeing such a formation, the people of Yishui retreated to both sides of the road respectfully and bowed their heads in salute; but out of the corner of their eyes, they couldn't help but glance at the gorgeously decorated sedan, in awe. I was a little curious.
And Chen Jisheng had already taken Gu Xu and Ma Qin to stand at the door of the Yamen to greet the doctor Chu who had come from afar.
"If I can experience such a ceremony once in my lifetime, I will die with no regrets!" Ma Qin looked at the six-carrying sedan with envy in his heart.
“The evil feudal society.” Gu Xuze’s face was calm and he complained silently in his heart.
If he remembers correctly, monks in the fourth realm and above can fly with swords - fast and convenient transportation is not needed, but they have to engage in such a big battle to highlight their status. , It’s simply wasting people’s money and asking for trouble.
As for Chen Jisheng, his back was straight, his face was calm, and his eyes were as deep as ancient wells, showing no emotion at all.
After a while, the sedan stopped in front of the Exorcist Department.
An attendant stepped forward and respectfully opened the sedan curtain.
First of all, a pair of green satin and pink-soled boots were exposed under the sedan curtain.
Subsequently, a handsome young man under thirty years old walked out of the sedan.
This person has a powdered face, lipstick, a pair of peach-blossom eyes looking passionately, and a lazy smile hanging from the corner of his mouth. The whole person is as delicate as a meticulously painted meticulous painting by a court painter.
It was Chu Fengge, the exorcist doctor.
If Gu Xu’s appearance is that of a young man, handsome and handsome, and his heroic demeanor is still a bit immature;
then Chu Fengge’s appearance can be described as beautiful or even coquettish. describe.
Gu Xu even felt that if this person were to be dressed in women's clothing, he might be more beautiful than anyone else and become a disaster for the country and the people.
I saw Chu Fengge with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky, pointing his nostrils at the people present, seemingly disdainful of everything in the world, and at the same time chanting in a low voice:
"My whole life is like advancing and retreating like the wind. A glimpse of talent can make the world empty. I have a cold sword facing the sky. Why should I be ashamed of being a hero?"
I never thought there would be such an arrogant and narcissistic person in the world!
Hearing this, Gu Xu sighed inwardly.
