553 The Dao of the Five Emperors
The Dao of the Five Emperors
Lin Fu’s maid, Xiao Ling.
He Chuan was not really unconscious during this period of time. He had almost figured out the information around him.
Lin Fu was the son of a concubine, and his only servant was Xiao Ling. The monthly allowance was not much, but it was enough for two people to live on.
Although he was ostracized by the First household, they were all fighting for power and did not have the time to pay attention to him.
“Ling’er, bring the books over. I want to take the imperial examination!” He Chuan said.
“What?” Ling’er widened her eyes and looked at her Young Master in disbelief.
Young Master had been idling around all day. He had been childish for more than ten years. Why did he suddenly change his personality today?
Ling’er recalled what happened a few days ago, and her eyes dimmed. Maybe he was still agitated by that incident.
Only the ancestor and the Young Master survived. If not for the ancestor’s special words, everyone would probably point their fingers at He Chuan.
“I will go to the Academy to borrow it.”
“Yes, there’s a piece of bacon in the kitchen.”
Soon, Xiao Ling brought back three thin books.
There were less than ten days until the scholar examination. With his foundation as a cultivator, he should be able to pass.
“D*mn, it’s actually a catalog!” He Chuan clicked his tongue.
In this world, the imperial examinations tested the Four Books and Five Classics. The Four Books were the works of the four sages, and the Five Classics were the works of the five emperors.
Astronomy, philosophy, geography, mathematics, and medicine were all included.
They set up all kinds of difficult problems and try to screen out geniuses.
At the bottom of the table of contents were all kinds of attention and interpretation. It was not enough to just write it from memory, but it had to be in line with the thoughts of the upper echelons.
He Chuan spent the day in the library.
Immortal Venerable had an eidetic memory and could remember everything clearly after reading it once. He memorized all the books in the library.
It was not a problem for him to get be an Elementary-level Scholar or even a High-level Scholar.
On the tenth day, He Chuan bid farewell to the old man and left the house with his brush, ink, paper, and inkstone.
A man who looked similar to Lin Fu alighted from the carriage. This was Lin Fu’s older brother, Lin Xiu, the current head of the Lin family.
Lin Xiu finally won against the other branches and obtained the position of the family head.
“Are you going to take the exam?” Lin Xiu looked at He Chuan from top to bottom, as until his eyes blurred.
“That’s right.” He Chuan said indifferently,
“How are your preparations?” Lin Xiu didn’t have much hope for her sloppy younger brother.
The Lin family disciples were good at wielding knives and spears, but not many were good at literature.
“About the Elementary-level Scholar.” He Chuan said confidently.
“I’ll give you twenty taels of silver. There will inevitably be a banquet this time. Take it to make friends with your classmates.” If a martial arts family produced a scholar, it would be considered a glory for the family. The subordinate handed over the bag, and Lin Xiu placed it in He Chuan’s hand.
“Thank you, Big Brother.” He Chuan took the money and left.
“Master, he might go gamble.” After He Chuan left, the subordinate beside Lin Xiu could not help but say.
“No worries.” Looking at He Chuan’s back, Lin Xiu was stunned. Why did it have to be him who returned?
His father, second uncle, and uncle were all better than him, but this fellow survived.
“This jinx. When he comes back tomorrow, I will definitely find someone to break his legs!” The subordinate observed his expression and said obsequiously.
“This servant dared to hit Master, do you want to be the head of the family?” Before he finished speaking, he saw Lin Xiu’s sharp gaze.
“Master, please spare my life. This lowly one didn’t mean it that way.” His subordinate kept kowtowing until his head bled.
“Get 50 lashes when you get back.” Even though Lin Fu was often ostracized and ridiculed, it was still a Lin family matter, so how could he allow others to bully him?
The examination was similar to the traditional imperial examination. Everyone entered the examination room according to the number plate and was not allowed to come out during the examination.
With the help of spells, cheating was almost impossible.
He Chuan was originally worried that others would find out about the impersonation, but nothing happened.
Perhaps the Five Emperors would only discover his true body if they came personally.
The examination for children was not difficult. It was nothing more than memorizing and writing from memory. These were not problems. Those who passed the examination were scholars.
In a few months, it would be the Elementary-level Scholar’s examination. If he passed, he would be a High-level Scholar.
Only those above the High-level Scholar rank were qualified to build temples to worship. The others could only have ancestral halls.
The next day, the results were released. As expected, the Elementary-level Scholar.
He Chuan became a scholar in the Lin Mansion.
This matter shook the Lin family.
The next day, Lin Xiu specially arranged for a quiet small courtyard so that He Chuan could study in peace.
And that was all. An Elementary-level Scholar could not influence the overall situation, and a High-level Scholar could only barely speak.
If he was a Bachelor-level Schoolar, Lin Xiu would probably have to be polite when talking to him.
He Chuan attended the banquet hosted by Li Mu and received a white position from the Great Yan Empire.
He stood in front of the statues of the five emperors. There was a mysterious force watching him. Then, white light shot out from the Green Emperor’s fingertips and entered his forehead.
A white mystical talisman appeared in his mind.
This is the white position.
As long as he absorbed faith, he could cultivate it through a level.
“Your writing skills are not bad. Do you want to come to the government office to cultivate and be in charge of organizing sacrifices? You will receive eight taels and one merit each month.”
Merit is the unit of faith.
The way to obtain faith in this realm was either to rely on the family to distribute it, or to join a public sect or other temple to give out faith regularly.
There were also those who joined or established illegal temples. If they were caught, they would be immediately sentenced to death.
It was difficult for the Lin family to even protect themselves. Don’t even think about sharing the profits with him.
“I want to continue the exam.” He Chuan declined.
When he returned home, a white light suddenly appeared in the room. A figure was half-kneeling on the ground.
“Greetings, Master.” If the Lin family members saw the current situation, they would definitely be shocked. Their ancestor actually knelt down to a junior.
“Bring me some faith.” Hearing this, Lin Fu condensed five white pearls.
This was the five faith of virtues.
He Chuan placed it on his hand. The pearl gave off a cold feeling and slowly flowed into his body. Then, it turned into essence energy through the white space.
If one absorbed a large amount of pure Essence Energy, it would not be inferior to Origin Essence Energy.
The five emperors were simply geniuses. The cultivators of the Dahao Star might not be enough to fill the gaps between their teeth.
“It’s best to use a cultivation technique. That way, we can make the most of it.” Lin Fu condensed another ray of light.
He Chuan received the light and a message appeared in his mind.
Green Emperor Marrow Cleansing Technique!
Breathing in Green Emperor Wood Energy, cleansing one’s meridians and marrow. At great success, one would have the strength of nine bulls and one tiger.
This technique could be cultivated to the foundation of the Dao, and above that was the Green Emperor Slaughtering Divine Technique. Lin Fu cultivated this technique.
“I have the Green Emperor Bloodline, so I cultivate a technique derived from the Green Emperor Wood Dao.” According to Lin Fu, there were hundreds of techniques derived from the Green Emperor’s Wood Dao.
The most powerful was still the Azure Emperor’s Heavenly Wood Dao. This art could bring vitality, enlighten plants, increase longevity and strengthen the body, and refine pills.
“How can I obtain the Green Emperor Heavenly Wood Dao?” He Chuan was interested. His divine power was probably not inferior to the Yama Avatar.
“This method doesn’t fall into the category of words, so others can’t speak it. Only those who pass the imperial examination can be awarded a portion of the Green Emperor’s Heavenly Wood Dao’s chapters.” Lin Fu shook his head.
“Then I’ll take the imperial examination.” He Chuan said casually.
He did not know how difficult it was to become a scholar. Great Yan’s territory spanned millions of miles and the population was uncountable. Every three years, only 300 scholars would become a scholar. It could be seen how intense the competition was.
After absorbing the faith, He Chuan asked Lin Fu to tell him about the history of Great Yan and the Five Emperors.
More than 100,000 years ago.
The Great Yan Star was in a dark era where sects fought for hegemony. Later on, the Yellow Emperor stood out and established the Great Yan Dynasty.
