Chapter 2: Shinmeido seal
Chapter 2 Seal of True Fate
"The test of the Holy Way Monument is about to start, why haven't you seen him yet?" Gong Sujun, who was about to set off for the Holy Way Monument Garden, looked left and right, but he didn't see Bai Cangdong's shadow.
"Master Bai, he drank a lot of wine yesterday and was so drunk that I couldn't get up after screaming a few times." The servant girl Xiaolu said helplessly.
Gong Sujun's face was suddenly covered with a layer of frost, and he walked quickly to the Dongxian Garden where Bai Cangdong lived, and when he entered the room, he saw Bai Cangdong still sleeping soundly on the bed with the quilt in his arms.
Gong Sujun's face was a little livid, and when he held his slender fingers in the air, five blue-colored cold air bloomed on his fingertips like petals, condensing into a water lotus flower overflowing with cold air, and then turned towards Bai Cangdong's face. With one finger, the water lotus immediately hit his face, and the bone-chilling ice water poured over his head and face.
Bai Cangdong sat up from the bed at once, and found Gong Sujun standing in front of his bed with beautiful eyes, and immediately understood what happened.
"The test of the Holy Dao Monument is about to start, you are still drunk like a muddy mud, you are really hopeless." Gong Sujun looked at Bai Cangdong angrily and said.
"Isn't it just the test of the Holy Dao Monument? I'm sure I'll pass this time. Why are you like this?" Bai Cangdong said while putting on his coat.
"Since you were twelve years old, you have participated in the test of the Holy Way Monument every year. Until last year, you have failed four times. If you still have this attitude, even if you are a middle-grade Holy Way Monument, I am afraid you may not If you are successful enough, do you still want to wait for the next year to challenge the low-grade sacred monument?" Gong Sujun hated that iron could not be made into steel, and was completely disappointed with Bai Cangdong.
"If I succeed, are you willing to consummate the house with me?" Bai Cangdong was not angry, but looked at Gong Sujun with a smile and said.
"You can do whatever you want. Tomorrow, I will go to Nanli Academy to practice. If you have no ability to enter Nanli Academy, you will never see me again in this life. I will be blind." Gong Sujun He was extremely disappointed with Bai Cangdong, and walked away with a cold face.
Bai Cangdong got up and went out, and found that Gong Sujun had already left home to go to the Garden of the Holy Tao Monument, so he had no choice but to walk there alone.
The Holy Way Monument Garden is the place where the palace family thanked the Holy Way Monument. It is divided into three gardens, the Scholar Monument Garden, the Real Man Monument Garden and the Sage Monument Garden. It is opened once a year to allow the palace family members to promote their ranks.
Bai Cangdong went to the lowest-level scribe garden. Many of the people who came here were twelve or thirteen-year-old children, and there were also seventeen or eighteen-year-old boys like Bai Cangdong, but they were all descendants of the palace family. With Cang Dong's status, he has not been promoted to a scribe at this age, which is really rare in the Gong family.
"Master Bai, are you still planning to challenge the Qinglian Sacred Path Monument this year?" A young girl who was similar to Bai Cangdong saw Bai Cangdong enter the Garden of Scholar Monuments, and asked with a wink and a smile.
"No." Bai Cangdong seemed not to understand the irony in the girl's tone, looked at the girl and said with a smile.
This girl is Gong Sujun's clan sister, named Gong Wanyun, she has already passed the test of high-grade holy way stele and became a scribe at the age of eleven. Although she is not as talented as Gong Sujun, she is still amazingly talented. The leader of the younger generation.
Today, Gong Wanyun is in charge of guarding the scribes garden, managing the clansmen who come to the scribes garden to challenge the sacred monument, and issuing number plates for queuing.
"Master Bai is not a fool. He has failed for four consecutive years. How could he overestimate his ability to challenge the high-grade Qinglian Sacred Monument?" All the teenagers beside him laughed, and some even laughed at Bai Cang. A few words.
The identity of Bai Cangdong's visiting son-in-law was already embarrassing in the Gong family, and he married Gong Sujun, the proud daughter of the Gong family. At this age, he couldn't even get a high-grade true life seal. It made the members of the Gong family look down on him.
"Now I'll let you laugh enough, and I'll see how my brother will shock you." Bai Cangdong held back his breath first, and after receiving the number plate, he looked into the scholar's garden. The same stele stands in the garden, which looks like a cemetery from a distance.
There are words or pictures engraved on each stone tablet. At this time, a very tall and strong boy aged sixteen or seventeen walked into the garden, stretched his head and looked around for a long time. He stopped in front of the tall dilapidated stele.
Bai Cangdong's eyes fell on the stone tablet in front of the young man, and he saw that the words Xiapin and Scholar were written on the head of the stone tablet, and there was a pattern engraved on the bottom, which was a big wild boar with a fat head and big ears.
The sturdy young man set up a posture in front of the stele, circulated his strength, condensed his breath on his fingertips, and carved towards the stele, and immediately carved some words on the blank space of the stele.
"A pig on the ground is born afraid of the butcher. If you want to live long, don't get thicker."
After engraving these four sentences, the sturdy boy was already sweating, his fingers were trembling, and the strokes of the last thick character were almost too shallow to be seen clearly.
The strong young man took a step back and nervously looked at the low-grade scholar's holy way tablet, only to see that the four sentences engraved on the holy way tablet suddenly burst into light, separated from the holy way tablet, and turned into a head The big wild boar in white mist rushed towards the strong boy.
The sturdy young man was overjoyed immediately, and stretched his body to face the big wild boar formed by the condensed white mist, until all the mist poured into his body, then he ran out of the scholar's garden excitedly, and shouted excitedly: "Dad... Mom ...I succeeded...I am a scribe..."
"Zhao Dazhuang, he was promoted to a scribe successfully, and the low-grade wild boar seal of fate." Gong Junwan read while recording.
"What is the test of the holy way monument? Isn't this just reading pictures and writing essays in elementary school, and can those few doggerel be considered as passing?" Bai Cangdong secretly slandered in his heart.
Next, quite a few teenagers entered the Scholar’s Garden in the order of their number plates to challenge the Holy Dao Monument, some of them succeeded and some failed.
The failed teenagers were either unable to engrave the articles and verses in their minds on the Holy Word Monument completely because of lack of strength, or the articles and poems they wrote did not meet the requirements of the Holy Way Monument, and the words engraved on the Holy Way Monument It didn't turn into the Seal of True Fate, but disappeared directly.
Bai Cangdong looked at it for a long time, and there were quite a few young men who were able to be promoted to scribes, even more than 50%. Obtained the middle-grade seal of true life, and there is not even one of the upper-grade seal of true life.
"Why is the real Heihe here?"
"Don't you know? Heihe Zhenren's son, Zhao Mingfeng, will also participate in the test of the holy stele this year. I heard that he will challenge Qinglian, the top-ranked holy way monument. Of course, Heihe Zhenren's love son is eager to come and watch the battle."
"Qinglian? Isn't that the high-grade sacred monument that Bai Cangdong failed to challenge four times? Can Zhao Mingfeng do it?"
"Why not? Don't compare Bai Cangdong with him. Although Zhao Mingfeng is not a direct descendant of the Gong family, his old man Heihe is one of the eight real people of the Gong family. It is said that he is extremely talented, not only has he practiced top-grade martial arts, but also his literary talent is astonishing. Except for a few geniuses of the palace family who have been promoted to scribes, no one in the younger generation can surpass him, and he is likely to become the first among the younger generation. Six people who have obtained the top-rank seal of true life and Dao."
