Chapter 491 Going Against the Heavens and Changing Your Fate at This Time【Please subscribe for a monthly pass】

Chu Chen stepped on the three-color auspicious clouds and rushed all the way back to Guangping County.

He has been busy with alchemy these days, so the external affairs have been put on hold for now.

In addition to the miscellaneous affairs of the Yellow Court, the most important thing is that August is approaching.

This year is the year of the competition, and in August, the township examination competition will be held every three years.

At that time, scholars from all over Qingzhou will swarm Qingzhou, and thousands of troops will cross the single-plank bridge, just asking for a roll call.

The imperial examination competition in this world is a bit different.

After a scholar wins the imperial examination, not only will he be able to stand out and become an official and rich, but it will also be an opportunity to change his fate against the sky and open the door to becoming a saint.

Taoism and Buddhism have requirements for "spiritual roots" and "wisdom roots" to accept disciples. If you don't have the talent for practice, you will never be able to step into the world of practice for a lifetime, and you can only be an ordinary person.

Of course, it's okay to fall into crooked ways, but the Heavenly Court will be summoned to fight and kill, and it will not end well in the end.

Ordinary mortals with no or poor cultivation talent, if they want to step into the cultivation world, the best way is to study the imperial examination.

After going through the celestial society, dragon and tiger energy, and the baptism of humane culture, you can gather Confucianism and Taoism, change your destiny against the sky, lay down the foundation of superior practice, and step into the world of practice in one fell swoop, becoming a Confucian and Taoist monk.

There are tens of thousands of ways to cultivate the truth and become the Tao, and a hundred schools of thought contend, and even heretics have a chance to shine.

However, for those who have no talent for cultivation, or those with average talent, reading the imperial examination is the best way to change their destiny.

Even if the competition for studying and studying is fierce, and countless people squeeze their heads for the exam, that is the best way to get ahead, there is no one.

The younger brother, Pengju, will also go to Qingzhou Gongyuan to participate in the Qiu Wei this year. As the eldest brother, if Chu Chen can make it in time, he will of course send his younger brother off.

The three-color auspicious clouds under his feet were flying like lightning, and he quickly rushed back to Guangping County.

Without much delay, Chu Chen rushed straight to the Chen Mansion.

"Brother, you are finally here, I thought I couldn't wait for you."

The younger brother Pengju heard the movement and came out to welcome him.

"Haha~ The alchemy went quite smoothly."

Chu Chen entered his courtyard with his younger brother. On the way, he looked him up and down, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion:

"Pengju, you've grown a lot taller again."

Before he knew it, he had been enlightened for nearly three years.

At that time, the little brother Pengju was still a 12-year-old boy, and in the blink of an eye, the little brother was already a handsome young man of fifteen or sixteen years old, with a tall and straight figure, handsome features, a calm demeanor, a bookish spirit, and a handsome appearance. Mao.

The two brothers talked and laughed, walked through the corridor, and entered the courtyard of the big house.

Because they communicated with Mengshi in advance, Chen's father and Chen's mother knew that the eldest son was coming back, so they prepared the food and drinks early, and the family quickly had a reunion dinner.

"Chu'er, is your alchemy going well? Is your sir easy to get along with?"

At the dinner table, Chen's father, Chen Jiaxian, had a kind smile on his face.

The gentleman he was talking about was of course Fire Dragon Alchemist.

A master of alchemy, no matter in the world of practice or in the court, has a respected status and receives courtesy and respect from all parties.

After all, Father Chen is a person, so he knows what it means to be a "master of alchemy", and he also understands what it means for his son to be a master of alchemy.

It's a pity that my son doesn't let him publicize it.
Otherwise, if the news of his son's admission to the alchemy master's sect spreads, the threshold of the Chen family's gate will probably be broken down.

Father Chen's heart was full of pride, and in his words, his attitude towards Chu Chen was faintly different from that of Wan'er and Pengju.

"The alchemy went very well, and I learned a lot from master's alchemy."

Chu Chen smiled, and didn't say much about alchemy, mainly because he was afraid that he would say too much. In the future, Father Chen would accidentally brag to his friends and spread the news that he had joined the alchemy master.

At that time, it will be a troublesome matter.

It's like getting rich all of a sudden.

As soon as the news came out, all kinds of relatives and friends who borrowed money would flock to it, which was extremely annoying.

At that time, people beg you to help him make alchemy, or help introduce Master Huolong Alchemist, will you help?
In order to cause unnecessary trouble, Chu Chen adhered to the principle of keeping a low profile and made a fortune in silence.

Fortunately, although Chen's father, Chen Jiaxian, is middle-aged and loves to brag with his friends, he is sensible and understands the world. He knew that his son had just joined the master's school and was studying diligently. Trouble.

However, in private, Father Chen was very concerned about Chu Chen's study under his master Huolong Danshi, and he always warned him.

"Chu'er, you should put diligence first in your studies. You have a good talent, but you can't be complacent. Watch more and learn more on weekdays. Ask your teacher for advice. Don't make him unhappy."

Chen's father babbled on and on, looking like an "old lady".

Master almost regarded me as a "confidant", wishing that I was born decades earlier.

Chu Chen secretly slandered, but he didn't say much, and nodded repeatedly, seeing that he had almost said something, so he quickly changed the subject, and his eyes fell on his younger brother Pengju.

"Little brother, when will you leave for Zhoucheng?"

The younger brother Pengju had already made up his mind and said:

"Let's go tomorrow, go early, settle down early, so you won't be in a panic."

Chu Chen nodded slightly. The Qiu Wei Grand Competition is very important to scholars. It is also very good to go to Zhoucheng in advance to experience the atmosphere of the imperial examination.

"But if you want me to send you a ride, I can ride the clouds and ride the fog, and I will send you there in half a day."

"No, I made an appointment with my classmates to go to the exam together, so I don't want to break my promise."

Little brother Pengju shook his head, and said:
"There are still seven or eight days left before the Great Competition of Qiu Wei. We each have our own cultivation bases and the skills of transportation. We will definitely make it in time. Brother, there is no need to worry."

Chen's father, Chen Jiaxian, also said: "That's right, Chu'er, you really worry too much. As a father, you went to the exam with your classmates, and there were no elders to accompany you. This is an experience for Peng'er."

Chu Chen nodded repeatedly when he heard the words.

The younger brother Pengju has a reputation as a scholar, and he has just gathered his heart for Confucianism and Taoism. After practicing these years, he has reached the ninth grade of Taoism, and all his classmates have achieved similar Taoism.

A group of them walked the official road in a mighty way, so he really didn't have to worry about anything.

Chu Chen raised his glass:

"Okay! Pengju, I will help you to have a smooth journey and win the championship for my brother!"

"Brother, I will not embarrass you."

The younger brother Pengju got up quickly, picked up the wine glass, clinked it, drank it down, and felt a sense of pride in his heart.

In recent years, his brother has soared into the sky. Although Pengju is happy in his heart, he can't help but feel disappointed in private.

Back then, no matter it was the parents, grandmother, or other people in the Chen House, all eyes were on him, and they regarded him as the hope of the Chen House.

But ever since his elder brother became enlightened, his limelight has been taken away by him.

Although he has no resentment in his heart, he is unwilling to be left behind.

Right now, the Qiu Wei Grand Competition is an excellent opportunity for him to feel proud.

Seeing his younger brother Pengju's high fighting spirit, Chu Chen secretly found it interesting.

Sure enough, he was contagious, and everyone around him became motivated because of him.

"Pengju, it's good to have confidence, but don't be burdened, take the exam with a calm mind, brother, I'll wait for your name on the list."
