Chapter one and two excerpts

"Everyone in the world knows that beauty is beautiful, but this is evil; everyone knows that goodness is good, but this is bad."

"Therefore, existence and non-existence are mutually generated, difficulty and ease are mutually formed, length and short are in line, high and low are in line, sound and sound are harmonious, and front and back are following."

"Therefore, the saints do nothing and do nothing to teach them!"

The morning light shone in Pingshou County. In front of a window of a family in the northwest of the city, a bright and tender sound of reading came from the window. A young man stomped his feet, pushed open the wooden door, tightened his slightly thin clothes, avoided the school, held the scroll in his hand and took a few deep breaths of air.

It was the beginning of autumn, and the air in the courtyard was cool, making people feel more sober.

The boy was thin and wearing a pair of cloth shoes. He was standing in front of the window thinking.

I don't know how long it took, the boy slowly put down his book, looked at the busy crowd farther away, stared at a volume of Taoist scriptures in his hand, smiled bitterly and let out a sigh after a long time.

In this world where Taoism is revealed, there are three Taoist lords who have passed down the general outline of Taoism, and five emperors who have passed down the Taoism scriptures, collectively known as the Three Classics and Five Classics. Each of them is a pearl, and they explore the origin of all things in the world, taking Tao as the ultimate primitive.

But like the Tao Te Ching on Earth, although these are the highest secrets of Taoism, they are never better. The Taoist lord and the Emperor themselves all regard this as the Tao, but for ordinary people, they are just like the sun and the moon, and they can see it and cannot touch it.

Therefore, this world uses the Three Classics and Five Classics as the content of the imperial examination. First, read the highest Taoist meanings, understand the meaning of Taoism, calm down the mind, accumulate the nature of Taoism, and then gradually go up.

Among them, there are four tests: Boy Test, County Test, Provincial Test and Palace Test, and their understanding of the Dao. Finally, the Taoist Lord and the Emperor will select disciples from the Jinshi. This is the etiquette system of our world!

Of course, in addition to the direct sects of Taoist and Emperor, there are many Taoist corpses. If scholars and juren cannot pass the imperial examination, they can also choose to join them.

In a few more days, it will be the time for the boys in the county to try.

Many children from many clans have to go and try it. According to the rules of this world, anyone aged fifteen to twenty-five can take the boy test, once every three years, and there are a total of three opportunities.

It has become a transformation, even if it cannot make progress, it is qualified to practice the Taoist Dharma, which is equivalent to the witness of holding a gun on the earth, and can practice the Taoist Dharma openly.

If you cannot become a child, you don’t even have the qualifications to practice the law, and those who violate the law will be killed.

If you fail once, you can give up and take the exam. However, if you fail repeatedly, according to the unspoken rules of the boy's test, you will basically not win again.

Because practicing Taoism is not only about literary talent, but also about physical and age. Once you exceed twenty-five years old, it will become increasingly difficult unless you have a profound understanding of Taoism.

To sum up, boys try to use mortals in this world, which is three chances of life. If they can pass, they can grasp their own future. If they fail, they are dust. In any world, it is the same.

Even if you are a time traveler.

This young man Ye Qing suddenly remembered a poem.

"I sigh that the melons are planted under the platform, and the melons are ripe and seeds are separated. One picks make the melons good, the second picks make the melons thin. Three picks are still possible, and four picks are carried back with vines!"

I went from the earth to this world, and I was resurrected from the dead and resurrected, and returned to the time point of traveling through time again when I was 15 years old. This is the second pick. I am afraid that I will exhaust my luck, but I won’t think about it anymore.

It can be said that apart from some predictions, luck is probably worse than the first time I wear it, and there is no slight slackness or hesitation.

Just as he was thinking, a maid in the yard walked out, combed her bun, held a thick outer robe, and trotted around the rockery.

Seeing the boy, she put on her robe and whispered: "Young Master, you have suffered from the cold, why did you run out casually? Get up so early again? Go back!"

Hearing this gentle urging, Ye Qing glanced at her. Her fair face as big as a palm, her eyes were bright, and her small body had not yet grown. To be honest, it was not very beautiful. She only brought familiarity in her beauty and awakened many memories of the past.

The maid is named Qianqian. She bought it for his mother when she was alive. She has been with him since she was a child. After several years, although she was a maid, she had a lot of love.

People who have not experienced it personally will never understand the desire for love of the lonely time traveler. This desire has nothing to do with age and identity!

Thinking of this, Ye Qing, who was originally happy, was a little depressed for some reason and smiled: "I just remembered some things and some people, and wanted to come out and take a look."

Qianqian twisted her fingers, a little confused, but insisted: "But it's cold..."

These black and white eyes reminded him again, even though the girl was not old, she was very stubborn in some aspects!

Unable to refuse, Ye Qing smiled bitterly and put away the book, his head said: "Okay."

As he said that, he walked into the house with a scroll. Qianqian hurriedly chased after him. The mist in the morning covered the traces, and only clear sounds came faintly.

"In a few days, I'll try Boy Ziqiu. Young Master... Are you ready?"

"I have read the scriptures in the past two days and I am already familiar with them, so there is no problem..."

"That's great. The master and his wife will be very happy to find out in the underworld..." At this time, when they arrived at the door, Qianqian opened the door and filled it with hot water and towels.

The water in the copper basin was steaming, and the face of a boy was reflected in the water, his eyebrows were delicate and slightly cold, and his lips were thin. At first glance, he felt that his face was a little cold in nature, and he couldn't help but feel dazed.

Since he was reincarnated here on Earth, he was once full of confidence, but he struggled hard and was grayed out fifteen years later.

Fortunately, I was resurrected from the dead, and I finally returned to this moment fifteen years ago...

When Ye Qing was pondering, Qianqian carefully twisted the towel and wiped his face. At this time, her clothes lowered and a touch of snow-whiteness appeared, which naturally attracted Ye Qing's attention.

Qianqian was very sensitive to this kind of gaze. She subconsciously glanced at her, her movements were slightly slower and smoother again.

The sixteen-year-old girl has escaped from her ignorance. Her face is red and her head is steaming, but she can't help but think shamefully that the young master has grown up...

Something was brewing in the warm atmosphere. Ye Qing was a little dazed, as if he was recalling and counting time. He suddenly said softly: "It's coming."

Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief and asked in confusion: "Who is here?"

"Guess!" Ye Qing raised his head and signaled to Qianqian. At this moment, a knock on the door came from outside.

"Nephew, I am your uncle!" Along with the words, there was another knock on the door.

Uncle Ye Zifan, it's been a long time since...

In Qianqian's surprised gaze, Ye Qing let out a "shhhh", coughed, and lay back on the bed, then said, "Uncle, please wait... Qianqian goes and open the door."

"Cruff!" The wooden door opened, and a middle-aged Confucian scholar walked in, with a long face and a black beard, and glanced at Qianqian casually.

It was still early morning, and the wind outside was cold, which made Qianqian tremble slightly. She lowered her hand and gently retreated into the shadow behind the door.

Ye Qing's branch has declined, but the entire Ye family is still very prosperous, and there are rules, so she dare not offend it.

Ye Qing half lay on the bed, and then got up and sat up. His smile was warm and the sunlight illuminated the cottage: "My uncle went into the room first and warm. Although my house was cold, it was much better than outside."

Ye Zifan had already walked in, placed a package on the table, frost on his body, and looked at Ye Qing on the bed, frowned slightly: "Since you are already suffering from the cold, you must be more careful. I heard from the servants that you have been studying outside for the past two days, why don't you cherish your body?"

The tables and chairs were mottled and old, slightly worn, but there was no trace of dust. They seemed to be wiped frequently. When Ye Zifan saw it, he brushed his sleeves and sat down in front of the bed.

Ye Qing struggled to get up and get out of bed, and responded in a low voice: "Thank you for your care, I'm not seriously injured."

Ye Zifan smiled. This nephew has always been honest and obedient, and it is not in vain for years to maintain it. So he pressed his hand on the package, stroked the three-foot black beard with the other hand, and leaned against the back of the chair: "Well, the weather is getting colder, you should also pay attention to your body, don't be infected with the cold. My uncle brought you some warm wine and meat today, but he replenished his body!"

At this time, wind and cold are a dangerous symptom, Ye Qingdao bowed and thanked: "Thank you uncle."

Ye Zifan couldn't help but smile, and said kindly: "The cold in this room is very heavy, and you don't say anything. My uncle turned around and sent the servant to send some charcoal to help prevent the cold."

"Thank you, uncle." Ye Qing thanked again after hearing this and smiled: "Thanks to my uncle's care, I have been familiar with the scriptures recently and feel that I am sure that if I can go to high school this time, I will rely on my uncle's achievements."

As he said that, he looked at Ye Zifan and was very admirable.

"Uh..." Ye Zifan was a little embarrassed, and was about to say something he was pinched to, and said perfunctorily: "You are a child of my clan, and your father once entrusted me to me, so it is worth taking care of my uncle. How can you thank me?"

The atmosphere in the house is a bit subtle.

Qianqian was pouring tea for the two of them. When she heard this, she raised her ears with vague feelings. She felt something strange. When she retreated to the inner room, she looked at Ye Qing again.

Ye Zifan took another sip of tea, got up and crossed the room for two steps, looked at his nephew again, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his heart, and finally he spoke: "Nephew, Uncle Wei is here today, but there is something to tell you."

"Uncle has something to say, but it's okay!" Ye Qing's smile remained unchanged, but his eyes were a little deep.

"I'm not hiding you. In more than ten days, the county will hold a boy test, but my uncle is afraid that you are still young and have not been familiar with the classics. Why do you think you are more careful in three years and make plans after three years?" Ye Zifan said slowly, looking at Ye Qing.

"..." Ye Qing felt a little cold. The boy test was very important to the future. He could only take the exam from fifteen to twenty-five years old. Only after passing the exam were the qualification to practice Taoism.

At that time, even the county will issue basic Taoism.

This is based on age, only three times in a lifetime. Because of this, the competition is very fierce. One more candidate will lead to one less chance.

Ye Qing understood that Ye Zifan had no malice, just for his son to have few competitors, but even so, he was reborn again, and the second time he heard his uncle say this, he still felt a little cold.

I was not hardworking in my previous life and my talent was not bad, but I was still gray. I thought about it all the time that I chose to obey and give in and give in. As a result, I was passive step by step. Although I could still passively passively, I could not catch up with the general trend of the world.

Ye Qing pondered for a moment and said slowly: "I have been studying since I was a child. The classics are well-versed and there is no obscure at all. This time, I will definitely win the results when I try it, and there is no reason to waste it."

After hearing this, Ye Zifan was stunned. His reaction was a little out of expectations. He carefully observed his expression and felt a little surprised.
