章 1: Chapter 0001 Second excerpt
The world knows that beauty is beauty, but evil is evil; it knows that goodness is good, but not good is evil
Therefore, there is no mutual generation, difficult and easy are mutually formed, long and short are mutually shaped, high and low are mutually inclined, sound and sound are mutually matched, and they follow each other in front and behind
It is a sage who practices inaction and teaches without words
The morning sun shone on Pingshou County, and in front of a window in the northwest of the city, there was a faint and childish sound of reading. A young man stomped his feet, pushed open the wooden door, tightened his tight and slightly thin clothes, avoided the school, held a book in his hand, and went to the backyard to take a few deep breaths of air.
At the beginning of autumn, the cool air in the courtyard makes people more alert.
The young man, with a thin body and a pair of cloth shoes on his feet, stood by the window lost in thought.
I don't know how long had passed, but the young man slowly put down his book, looked at the busy crowd in the distance, and stared at the scroll of Taoist scriptures in his hand. He smiled bitterly and remained silent for a long time before taking a deep breath.
In this world where Taoism is revered, there are three Taoists who have passed down the general principles of Taoism, and five emperors who have passed down the Taoist scriptures, collectively known as the Three Classics and Five Classics, all of which delve into the origin of all things in heaven and earth, with Taoism as the ultimate goal.
But like the Tao Te Ching on Earth, although these are the highest secrets of the Dao Sect, there is no higher one. Even the Dao King and the Emperor himself regard them as the Dao, but for ordinary people, they are like the sun and moon, they can see them but cannot touch them.
Therefore, this world takes the Three Classics and Five Classics as the content of the imperial examination, first familiarizing oneself with the supreme scriptures of Taoism, comprehending the meaning of Taoism, unleashing one's inner light, accumulating the essence of Taoism, and gradually advancing.
Among them, four tests were conducted, including the child test, county test, provincial test, and palace test, to test their understanding of the Great Dao. Finally, the Dao Jun and Emperor Jun would select disciples from the Jinshi, which is the ritual system of entering the body in this world!
Of course, in addition to the legitimate sects of Dao Jun and Emperor Jun, there are also many Dao lineages where scholars and juren who cannot pass the imperial examination can choose to join.
In a few more days, it will be the time for the county's children's test.
Many children from various ethnic groups are required to go and take the child test. According to the world rules, anyone aged 15 to 25 can take the test once every three years, with a total of three opportunities.
Having undergone a transformation, even if one cannot make further progress, they still have the qualification to practice the Dao, equivalent to holding a gun certificate on Earth, and can practice the Dao openly and honestly.
And cannot become a child, without even the qualification to practice the law, those who violate it will be killed.
If you fail once, you can withdraw and take the exam again. However, if you fail repeatedly, according to the hidden rules of the child test, you will basically not pass again.
Practicing the Tao is not only about one's literary talent, but also about one's physical condition and age. Once one exceeds the age of twenty-five, unless one has a profound understanding of the Tao, it becomes increasingly difficult.
In summary, the child test is three life opportunities for ordinary people in this world. If they pass, they can grasp a part of their own future. If they fail, they will be dust. This is the same in any world.
Even if you are a time traveler.
The young man Ye Qing suddenly remembered a poem.
Under the yellow platform, the ripe melons are separated. One pick makes the melons better, two picks make them thinner. Three picks are still acceptable, and four picks embrace the vines and return home
I traveled from Earth to this world, it was one pick, died and resurrected. When I returned to the time point of time travel at the age of 15, it was two picks. I'm afraid my luck has been exhausted, and I don't want to do three or four picks anymore.
It can be said that now, apart from some foresight, one's luck may not even be as good as the first time wearing it, let alone any relaxation or hesitation.
Just as she was lost in thought, a maid walked out of the courtyard, combing her hair in a bun, holding a thick outer robe, and running around the rockery.
Seeing the young man, she put on her robe and scolded him in a low voice, "Young master, you've been caught in the cold, why did you run out so easily and wake up so early again? Go back
Upon hearing this gentle urging, Ye Qing gave her a glance. Her fair face, the size of a palm, and dark eyes, coupled with her small body, were not yet fully developed. To be honest, she was not very beautiful, but only had a familiar feeling in her beauty, awakening many memories of the past.
This maid's name is Qianqian. She was bought for him by his mother when she was alive. She has been with him since childhood and has been with him for some years. Although she is a maid, their relationship is not small.
People who have not personally experienced it will never understand the longing for love of those who travel alone, regardless of age and identity!
Thinking of this, Ye Qing, who was originally happy, was a little depressed and smiled: "I just think of some things and some people, and want to come out and have a look."
Qianqian twisted her fingers, feeling a bit puzzled, but still insisted, "But it's getting cold
These black and white eyes reminded him that despite the young age of the girl, she was stubborn in some aspects!
Unable to refuse any longer, Ye Qing put away her scroll with a bitter smile and said, "Okay
As he spoke, he walked into the room holding a scroll, and Qianqian quickly chased after him. The morning mist obscured the person's trace, and only a clear voice could be faintly heard.
In a few days, it will be the autumn test for the young boy. Young master, are you ready
I've been reading the scriptures these past few days and I'm familiar with them all. There's no problem
That's great, the master and wife will be very happy to find out under the Nine Springs... "At this moment, Qianqian opened the door and filled it with hot water and towels.
The clear water in the copper basin was steaming hot, and a young man's face was reflected in the water. His eyebrows were clear and slightly cold, and his lips were thin. At a glance, I could only feel that his face was naturally cold and thin, and I couldn't help but feel a daze.
Born here from Earth, I was once full of ambition, but struggled hard and was turned into ashes fifteen years later.
Fortunately, I was reborn from the dead, and finally returned to this moment fifteen years ago
When Ye Qing was lost in thought, Qianqian carefully twisted the towel and wiped the hole in his face. At this moment, her collar lowered, revealing a touch of snow-white, which naturally caught Ye Qing's attention.
Qianqian is very sensitive to this kind of gaze. Subconsciously, she glanced at it, her movements slightly sluggish, but then became smooth again.
The sixteen year old girl, who had escaped from confusion, had a red face and a steaming head, but couldn't help but think shyly that the young master had also grown up
In the warm atmosphere, something was brewing. Ye Qing felt a bit dazed, as if recalling or counting time, and suddenly whispered, "We're coming
Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief and asked with confusion, "Who is here
Guess! "Ye Qing raised her head and gestured to Qianqian. Just then, there was a knock on the door outside.
Nephew, I am your uncle! "With the words, there was another knock on the door.
Uncle Ye Zifan, it's been a long time
In Qianqian's surprised gaze, Ye Qing shuddered, coughed, and lay back in bed before saying, "Uncle, please wait a moment... Qianqian, go open the door
Crunch! "The wooden door opened and a middle-aged Confucian walked in, with a long face and black beard, casually glancing at Qianqian.
It was still early morning outside, with a cold breeze blowing and making Qianqian tremble slightly. She lowered her hand and gently retreated into the shadow behind the door.
Ye Qing's family has declined, but the entire Ye family is still thriving and has its own rules. She dare not offend them.
Half lying on the bed, Ye Qing got up and sat up, with a warm smile that illuminated the small room like sunlight: "Uncle, come in and warm the room. Although it's cold in my house, it's much better than outside
Ye Zifan walked in and placed a package on the table. He flicked the frost off his body and looked at Ye Qing on the bed, frowning slightly. "Since you've already caught the cold, you need to be even more careful. I heard from the servant that you've been studying outside for the past two days, why don't you take care of yourself
The table and chairs were mottled with old colors, slightly worn out, but without a trace of dust, indicating frequent wiping. Ye Zifan saw this and sat down in front of the bed with a flick of his sleeve.
Ye Qing struggled to get up from bed and responded in a low voice, "Thank you for your love, Uncle. I'm really fine
Ye Zifan smiled slightly. This nephew has always been honest and obedient, not wasting his years of maintenance. So he placed one hand on the package and the other on his three foot black beard. He leaned back in his chair and said, "Hmm, the weather is getting colder, you should also pay attention to your body. Don't really get caught in the cold. Uncle brought you some warm wine and meat today, but you need to replenish your body before talking
At this moment, wind cold is a dangerous illness, "Ye Qing said, bowing his hand and thanking," Thanks uncle
Ye Zifan couldn't help but laugh and spoke kindly, "The cold is very strong in this room. Don't say a word. Uncle will send his servant over to bring some charcoal, which will help prevent the cold
Thank you very much, Uncle. "Ye Qing thanked him again and smiled," Thanks to Uncle's care, I have been reading the classics carefully recently and feel that I have a 70-80% chance. If I can get into high school this time, I will rely on Uncle's efforts
Speaking, he looked at Ye Zifan with admiration.
Uh... "Ye Zifan felt a bit embarrassed as he was about to say something, but was interrupted by Sheng Sheng and said perfunctorily," You are a descendant of my clan, and your father entrusted me to take care of you. It's only natural for you to take care of your uncle. Why not thank him
The atmosphere in the room is a bit subtle.
Qianqian was pouring tea for the two of them, and upon hearing this, she was sensitive and perked up her ears. She felt a vague sensation, but when she retreated to the inner room, she glanced at Ye Qing again.
Ye Zifan took another sip of tea, got up and took two steps in the room. He then glanced at his nephew with a hint of hesitation in his heart before finally speaking, "Nephew, Uncle Wei came to talk to you about something recently
Uncle has something to say, but it doesn't matter! "Ye Qing's smile remained unchanged, but her eyes were a bit deep.
Uncle won't hide it from you. In a dozen days, the county will hold a child test. However, Uncle is afraid that you are still young and not familiar with the classics. Why don't you study for another three years and make plans after three years? What do you think? "Ye Zifan said slowly, looking at Ye Qing.
Ye Qing only felt a little cold in her teeth. The youth exam is very important for her future. She can only take the exam at the age of fifteen to twenty-five, and only those who pass the exam have the qualification to practice Taoism.
At that time, even the county will issue basic Taoist laws.
This is calculated based on age, only three times in a lifetime. Because of this, the competition is very fierce, and one more candidate means one less chance.
Ye Qing understood that Ye Zifan did not have much malicious intent, but only wanted to have fewer competitors for his own son. However, even so, when he was reborn, hearing his uncle say these words for the second time still made him feel a bit cold.
In my past life, I didn't work hard and had good talent, but in the end, I was gray. Many nights of contemplation, I chose to listen and give in step by step, only to be passive step by step. Although I was still able to pass the entrance exams for young students and scholars, I couldn't keep up with the overall trend of the world.
After a moment of contemplation, Ye Qing said slowly, "I have been studying since childhood and have become familiar with the classics and principles. There is no ambiguity in them. In this child's test, I will definitely succeed and there will be no room for delay
Upon hearing these words, Ye Zifan was taken aback. His reaction was somewhat unexpected, and upon closer observation of his expression, he felt somewhat surprised and suspicious.
Although this nephew is somewhat intelligent, he is limited by his age and has lost his parents since childhood without a good teacher to teach him... How could he have such confidence? "He chuckled and said," Oh? Is that really the case
