Chapter 1596 The Soul Refining Sect’s Fruit

"Could it be that my Soul Refining Sect has no more rise and no longer the possibility of continuing..." The middle-aged man seemed crazy and smiled sadly, but at this moment, his face suddenly changed and he suddenly turned around and looked into the distance.

"Huh!" His eyes condensed, and he immediately pinched his hands and began to deduce and calculate wildly.

"This...this...this..." The man's expression changed rapidly. He consumed a lot of life energy in this short moment. He calculated nine times in a row, but the result of nine times was all one!

This is a conclusion that made him feel unbelievable and even a bit absurd!

During the silence, his body shook and disappeared without a shadow, but he used the technique of movement to go straight to Zhao State.

In a county town in Zhao State, the world was quiet, but Wang Lin, who was standing in front of the window, was standing in front of the window, and his murmuring sound echoed faintly.

"Cause and effect, what is...cause and effect..."

As the night passed slowly, Wang Lin returned to the table at some point, staring at the extinguished candlestick, silently dazed. The previous sound in his mind kept circling, gradually replacing everything.

He forgot to close the window, and there was no wind or rain at this moment. As the sky became brighter, as the sun rose, the light shrouded the earth. The people who woke up were surprised to find that all the dark clouds that had been in the sky for the past half month had disappeared in this morning.

The bright sky is cloudless, and the sunshine falls on the body with a gentleness, making people's almost rusty body suddenly shine.

It’s like this summer, it’s coming earlier, and it’s like this rainy season, it’s going away faster.

Dafu also woke up, rubbed his eyes, and when he saw the sky outside the window, he immediately smiled, pointed out the window with pride, and shouted loudly to Wang Lin.

"I had a dream last night. I dreamed that when I pointed, the thunder disappeared. Haha, I'm better, hum, it seems that I'm not an ordinary person, alas, what a pity."

Wang Lin's thoughts slowly hid in his mind when the sky was bright and he didn't sleep all night, but he didn't feel tired, but the swelling and pain between his eyebrows came faintly.

He rubbed his eyebrows and glanced at Dafu. After seeing the smile on his face, he felt happy.

"You are amazing. It's your dream to go to heaven and let the thunderstorm disappear. OK."

Dafu was quite excited and even more proud.

Time flies, and the imperial examinations in the county were also held in five days. After waiting for the tense five days, the scholars who came here walked out of the inns where they lived under the still sunny sky, and rushed to the examination halls in the county town.

During these five days, Wang Lin, apart from going to the county yamen to deliver road entrance exam posts and arranged side by side with the examination room, almost never left the inn. Instead, he seized all the time to study and make final preparations. He was also very nervous. If he succeeded this time, he could continue. But once he failed, everything would have to start over and return to the village, and waited silently for several years to take the scientific examination again.

Wang Lin didn't want to fail. He couldn't bear to see his parents' dim gaze, and he didn't want his parents to feel the seemingly comforting but actually ridiculous gaze in front of those relatives who were above their gaze.

In five days, Dafu was so nervous that he was very active. He went out by himself when he was studying in Wang Lin and wandered around the county town. Gradually, he met some people and learned the ability to be more stingy.

On the sixth day, Wang Lin took a bath and burned incense, changed into a white scholar's shirt, and took a deep breath, leaving the inn with Dafu, who was carrying a bamboo bookcase, and walked towards the examination room.

What he was going to was the third examination room. It was west of the county town. The streets were very lively along the way. There were many breakfast stalls on both sides. The vendors left the stalls early so that these scholars who were going to take the exam could buy some food from them.

At first glance, there were many scholars on the street taking the exam, and they were all in a hurry, either with worries or nervousness, and even eating, they often swallowed a few mouthfuls and left quickly.

Wang Lin took a few deep breaths and slowly calmed down. After eating a few buns, he and Dafu came to the exam room. There were many people here, densely packed, but there was no noise. Most of them closed their eyes and rested, recalling the books they read in their hearts.

Two officials in brocade robes looked at the candidates coldly outside. Because of their existence, a solemn atmosphere gradually spread here. Wang Lin stood there calmly, looking at the sky in the examination room, and his mood slowly calmed down.

Dafu behind him was looking around, but as he looked, his face was depressed. He saw that the other children were almost all young, and in comparison, he seemed a little out of place.

After muttering a few words, Dafu took out the bun and took a few bites.

Soon, the moment of the exam came, and the sound of the bell sound seemed to be coming from a distance. The sound echoed throughout the county town, and a heavy feeling was revealed.

As soon as the bell rang, the scholars who closed their eyes opened their eyes one by one, their expressions were solemn, and the feeling of tension suddenly emerged again.

"Enter the examination room! If there is a cheater, take it out by yourself. Don't be found and you will be disqualified." One of the brocade officials rolled his eyelids and spoke slowly.

As these scholars entered the examination room one by one, almost everyone would be searched and confirmed that there was no cheat sheet before they could be put in.

The same was true when talking about Wang Lin. After checking the bamboo bookcase and other items, he let him enter.

Dafu waved to Wang Lin outside and shouted loudly. Even if someone frowned and disgusted, he didn't care at all.

Wang Lin smiled on his face, waved to Dafu outside, and turned around and went in.

After finding the seat with his name written on it, Wang Lin sat down calmly. In the attention of the examiner, all the candidates who sat down opened the rice paper on the table and concentrated.

Until the insurer took out the paper for the examination that was sealed by fire paint, there was a rustling sound of writing echoing soon.

Wang Lin calmly grinded the ink and looked at the rice paper in front of him, but he had not started writing for a long time. The scientific examination time was a whole day, which was very relaxed, leaving people with enough time to think.

Gradually, the scholars who were as thoughtful as Wang Lin also had thoughts and started writing one by one. In the end, Wang Lin was left alone in the entire examination room, still thinking.

The question for the scientific examination at this moment is a painting. The picture is very simple, there is only one mountain, there is a straight tree on the mountain, and the sky seems to be windy, and the tree seems to be shaking when it blows.

A few strokes at the foot of the mountain seem to be a house guarding the mountain.

The idea of ​​this painting is very clear, and it refers to the four words "The Strongest Materials". Almost all candidates can see that the articles written are mostly written around these four words.

But when Wang Lin saw the painting, the sound that echoed five days ago appeared in his mind again.

"Cause and effect...What is...cause and effect..."

Time passed slowly, and it was noon in a blink of an eye. Someone had finished writing the article. He took the rice paper and blew the remaining ink marks. His expression showed joy. He shook his head slightly and began to recite silently.

Only Wang Lin sat there silently, with confusion in his eyes and never writing. Such things are rare, and the officials couldn't help but look at Wang Lin a few more times.

Gradually, some people left the examination room one after another, either proud or lost. After leaving here, they left far away with the book boy or alone.

The sunset was setting, and the entire examination room was slightly darker. There was not much time left before the end, and less than half an hour was left. In addition to Wang Lin, the last scholar also stood up with a sigh, looked at Wang Lin before leaving, shook his head and left.

"If you can't do it, leave quickly and don't waste your time." A supervisor frowned, walked to Wang Lin, and knocked on the table with his right hand.

Wang Lin did not look up, but closed his eyes, opened them suddenly after a few breaths, raised his right hand and licked some water marks like ink. After holding a pen and dipped it in some, his eyes showed a bright light and he quickly wrote on the rice paper.

"What is cause and effect? ​​If you look for a house, but there is no tree in this mountain. I planted a tree alone. I will take branches at the beginning of the day, trees at the middle of the day, and roots at the sunset..." Wang Lin seemed to have forgotten everything around him, and the vicissitudes of voice echoed in his mind, and the paintings he looked at in the early morning appeared, constantly writing down his thoughts and confusion.

"Huh?" The supervisor standing beside Wang Lin looked at it for a few seconds, was stunned and looked carefully. Even the other supervisors not far away were attracted by the light ejaculation and walked around. After seeing this, some of them sneered and left. Soon, the other people shook their heads and walked away.

"...What is cause and effect? ​​Planting trees is the cause, and taking trees is the result... However, the day when the wood in the house becomes appearance, it also becomes a cause and effect..."

Wang Lin put down his pen and took a deep look. The brightness in his eyes disappeared, and was replaced by a kind of confusion. He sighed and clasped his fists at the only old supervisor who was always standing behind him, packed up the bamboo yard, and walked out of the examination room.

Until he left, the old prison officer picked up Wang Lin's pen and rice paper, looked carefully and carefully again, with a dazed look in his eyes, as if he had some clarity, and remembered Wang Lin's name on the test paper.

"This kind of thinking about cause and effect actually appears on a young man. This person may not be able to become a pillar of the court, but he can become a great scholar!" The old man in charge pondered for a long time, picked up his pen and drew a circle on Wang Lin's name.

Wang Lin walked out of the examination room and saw Dafu, who had been waiting outside under a tree for a day, and had a smile on his face. He walked to Dafu. He was about to wake him up, but at this moment, suddenly, the world darkened, and a strong wind broke out. With the sound of ghost crying, a black wind suddenly fell from the sky, directly covering Wang Lin and Dafu, as if they were separated from the county town.

In the black wind, a middle-aged man in a black robe transformed out, and a cold breath filled his whole body, and he stared at Wang Lin with his eyes.

"I won't hurt you, you just need to answer one question."
