I have a fortune book

Chapter 15

Zhou Bai knew the Taoist official's behavior clearly, this meant that he regarded him as a bosom friend.

The way of the imperial examination is to put the way first and then the law. It is a dignified way and is valued by the heaven.

However, Taoist sects in the world follow the law first, and are "little ways" that are gradually abandoned by the times. Even if the Taoist sects do not recognize it, the trend of decline is unavoidable.

Now that Zhou Bai is juxtaposing the two, the Taoists certainly have a good opinion of them, if it wasn't for important matters, it would not be impossible to hold him to discuss it.

Although he was a Juren in his previous life, in terms of the whole world, his level is still an ant.

So he only has a half-knowledge of many big secrets.

The Heavenly Court is ruled by five Heavenly Emperors, but they have no way of knowing what the Heavenly Emperors govern respectively. They only vaguely know that at the top, there is a Haotian God who does not care about world affairs and governs this world.

According to various unofficial historical records, Taoism was once the top level of the world in ancient times. Ordinary people want to live forever unless they worship mountains and learn Taoism, and are accepted by high-level Taoists.

The status of a Taoist once surpassed that of princes and princes. Even today, when Taoism is in decline, Taoists with a slightly higher level of cultivation will be mistaken for true immortals by ordinary people, and they are often called immortals.

As for why Taoist sects are now subject to various restrictions and are regarded as side sects by the imperial examinations, Zhou Bai has no definite news.

I only know that the heavenly court prefers scholars with imperial examination backgrounds, and the two list of Jinshi have not yet entered the path, and they are entered into the heavenly register and cultivated as direct descendants.

As for the people of Taoism, if they want to live forever and succeed in the road, they have to move forward step by step. Nine out of ten people will die in disasters.

In the end, most of the people who crossed the catastrophe and ascended were not reused in the heavenly court, after all, they were used to being carefree.

Based on the theory of luck, Zhou Bai deduced that the top two Jinshi who were able to get out of the imperial examinations were mostly those with both talent and luck.

It is a genius to learn Taoism, and the list of heavenly records can also provide luck to the heavenly court. This is not a direct line, what is a direct line.

Born in a Taoist sect, not to mention that all aspects have been finalized, it is said that the cultivation base is a complete one, and it is difficult to get a little bit of luck, and it is almost a burden to be included in the heavenly court.

In the same year in the previous life, the Taoist priests who lived in seclusion in the mountains were often called "Taoist thieves".

The two don't see each other right, and there may be troubles if they run up to get close by themselves, so be careful in the future, as Zhou Bai walked out of the county office, his thoughts diverged.

A grassroots who is not even a scholar, how can he worry so much and think too much.

Zhou Bai shook his head and laughed, but Zhou Rui didn't see the self-mockery in it, only felt that his friend had a big heart and a magnanimous bearing.

When he was young, he often played with Zhou Bai, but since he was enlightened, he was educated in the way of doing business by his family because of his dull nature, and the two of them had less contact with each other.

A few days ago, because there was a family sacrifice and the county examination was coming up, he returned to the family residence in Hongni Township. His father would not give up the blessing quota.

However, in recent contact, Zhou Ruizhen feels that Zhou Bai is not like his 15-year-old peers.

"Zhou Bai, you have changed a lot. If you become a soldier, you will be more promising than me in the future." Zhou Rui said, looking at his friend who was somewhat unclear.

He didn't feel it in the yamen, but he was in a cold sweat when he came out. No matter whether the Taoist official has extraordinary power or not, he is still an official of the imperial court, and he is not something he can offend.

Zhou Bai stood on the steps, searching for something with his eyes, and teased Zhou Rui: "Why did you give up? Why don't you just learn how to do business honestly and earn some money to train the next generation."

"I just hope to be a child student, so that I don't even have a title on the inscription when I die. As for the scholar, haha." Zhou Rui shook his head and revealed his real purpose.

Although Tongsheng is not considered to be famous, but in a "wild" place where the cultural movement is not strong, such as Pingcang County, many Tongsheng are qualified to be enlightened teachers.

It is not easy for many families to confess a child's birth. After death, it is engraved on the tombstone as an honor, and it is not ashamed to go down to see the ancestors.

The two ignored some jealous gazes, both of which came from candidates queuing up, and most of them came from small families or even civilians.

"Let's go, the groom of your family is here to pick us up to the inn. Your studies really need to be cramped, otherwise it will be difficult for you to be a child."

"Don't go shopping? The city is very lively these two days."

……

Zhou Bai is very familiar with the childhood exams, not to mention the exam questions in the previous life, the academic training in that life is not a lie.

But after all, it was the first time since he was reborn that he actually stayed in the inn and read the Four Books and Five Classics for two days. This is because he is adjusting his level.

Of course, Zhou Rui didn't run away either, Zhou Bai gave him a surprise training in private, and mixed a few big score exam questions into it when he pulled his back.

In the 46th year of Daxu Xiangxing, on February [-]th, the first county examination in Pingcang County began.

It was just dawn, and there was a lot of noise outside the Yuelai Inn. People and cars came and went, most of them were rushing to the examination room.

Zhou Bai also woke up early, he did his personal cleaning well, and instead of going out immediately, he took out the Qi Luck Incense from the Book of Heaven.

He found that the Qi Luck Heavenly Book has an additional storage function, but it seems that it can only store tangible things at present, except for the three Qi Luck incense sticks, the rest cannot be placed.

Tong Shengjian doesn't need too much luck, one should be enough, Zhou Bai thought slightly to make arrangements.

He then took out the flint and ignited it very skillfully. It was colorless and gasless, and burned at an extremely fast speed.

The incense sticks did not leave ashes, and even the stick carrier in his hand turned into nothingness, at least so visible to the naked eye.

Just in case, Zhou Bai called out the Heavenly Book of Fortune and checked the first page.

As the pages of the book flickered, Zhou Bai's own figure emerged on it, which was still the empty spiritual platform.

An increasingly urgent sense of anxiety emerged in his heart, and there seemed to be an air wall pressing around him. It seemed that it would not be long before Tian Dao would find out that he was an outlier.

There is no way to change my natal life for the time being, but the fortunes around me have changed a lot.

Wisps of reddish air circulated slowly and regularly around the figure, while wisps of white air closely followed the red air, forming a stable foreign movement pattern.

Not to mention the gray qi that was being tested on the outside did not dare to step forward, even the pale qi was transforming into pure white due to the presence of red qi.

Red luck is the luck that can only be possessed by a county's talents, and the luck pattern of the top officials of a county is also red luck.

This insignificant ray has taken over Zhou Bai's now thin foreign luck. If it wasn't for the lack of his natal life, the red luck would not last long. If he burns the gas incense sticks as soon as possible, he can increase some white luck.

The Zhou family is not a red mansion, and it is great that the ancestral spirit can bless the clansman with a little bit of luck, so Zhou Bai's current luck should be far greater than that of ordinary township descendants, and even the descendants of ordinary county magnates may not have a ray of luck to suppress them.

If luck is popular, in a county, it is a noble person.

Waiting for the county examination, everyone lined up neatly and orderly. Zhou Bai dragged Zhou Rui, who was still asleep, to line up honestly, and the county noble son was among them. There was no privilege for the official examination.

Nearly a thousand students refer to it, and I don't know how many of them have their red lives, and they can get a glimpse of the honor of Bailihou in the future.
