Chapter 149 The Number One Scholar and the Imperial Preceptor

The news that Xu Shilin won the first prize spread back to Qiantang County.

The county magistrate came to the house in person and presented him with fifty taels of silver.

A No. 1 scholar who pursues an official career may become a third-rank or higher boss in the future. The county magistrate is almost seventy years old, and he can only serve as a county magistrate until his old age in this life.

Maybe, there will be times when I will seek help from the Xu family in the future. Of course, the county magistrate must lower his profile and build a good relationship with the Xu family.

Scholars throughout Qiantang County began to praise Xu Shilin, saying that he was the reincarnation of a literary star.

Chen Kang scoffed.

The imperial court conducts scientific examinations every three years.

Every three years, a champion is born.

Doesn’t it mean that every number one scholar is the reincarnation of Wenquxing?

There are not so many Wenqu stars in the sky.

Xu Shilin hurried back to Qiantang County, riding a thousand-mile horse that could travel a thousand miles a day and eight hundred miles a night.

It is said that this kind of horse has the blood of a dragon and is called a dragon horse.

The Thousand Miles Long Horse was given to Xu Shilin by the emperor.

Chen Kang was lying on the deck chair in the yard, closing his eyes and relaxing.

"Squeak."

The courtyard gate was pushed open.

Xu Shilin walked in.

"Teacher, I'm back." Xu Shilin stood in front of Chen Kang wearing a red robe and carrying a long sword.

Chen Kang said: "When will you go to Jinshan Temple?"

Xu Shilin said: "Tomorrow."

Chen Kang smiled and said, "You don't need me to help you fight, do you?"

Xu Shilin said: "I will defeat Fahai and rescue my mother myself. However, I would like to invite the teacher to go to Jinshan Temple to watch the battle."

Chen Kang sighed and said: "In that case, I guessed it right. The emperor doesn't care about the matter between you and Fahai at all. The grievances between your Xu family and Jinshan Temple need to be resolved by yourselves. The emperor will sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and sit on the Diaoyutai.

Watching tigers fight from the mountains.”

Xu Shilin said: "I reported it to the emperor. Unfortunately, the emperor did not issue an order for Jinshan Temple to release him. However, the emperor praised my filial piety."

Chen Kang sneered and said: "Can filial piety move the world? Hum, the world is unkind, you still have to rely on yourself in everything. The grudges between you and Fahai still have to be resolved by force. The number one scholar and the national master, under the emperor's

In his eyes, they are all chess pieces. The emperor doesn't care who wins or loses. Boy, when you get to Jinshan Temple, stop talking nonsense and just start fighting until Fahai releases you."

Xu Shilin nodded and said: "Yes, teacher. Dignity is only above the edge of the sword. My sword will definitely make Fa Hai bow his head."

Chen Kang nodded and said, "As long as you have confidence."

Xu Shilin said: "Teacher, will you go to Jinshan Temple with me tomorrow?"

Chen Kang said: "I originally planned to meet Mr. Wu tomorrow. Since you invited me to Jinshan Temple to watch the battle, then I will let Mr. Wu live a few more days."

Xu Shilin didn't ask who Mr. Wu was, and he didn't know the grudge between Chen Kang and Mr. Wu.

Xu Shilin cupped his fists and said, "My uncle and aunt are hosting a banquet tonight. Teacher, please be sure to come to the banquet."

Chen Kang said: "It's okay to go to dinner. But let me make it clear first that I don't have any gifts or money to give you."

Xu Shilin said with a smile: "The teacher taught me martial arts and swordsmanship, which is the best gift for me. Student farewell."

…

Outside Jinshan Temple.

Xu Shilin walked on the lake as if walking on flat ground.

Without the use of mana and energy, Xu Shilin could walk on the waves just by controlling the strength of his muscles and bones.

Back then, Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing teamed up to attack Jinshan Temple and used their magical power to drive the water dragon, flooding the Jinshan Temple with water.

The old monk Fahai was so skilled that he could cover the entire Jinshan Temple with powerful Buddha light alone, blocking the flood.

When Xu Shilin comes to Jinshan Temple this time, he won't do anything to flood the Jinshan Temple. He will fight with one man and one sword, and with real ability.

Monk Zhikong stopped Xu Shilin and scolded: "Master Zhuangyuan, Jinshan Temple is a holy land of Buddhism, and you are not allowed to be presumptuous. The young monk advises you to retreat immediately. Otherwise, if you offend the Buddha, you will go to hell."

Xu Shilin didn't draw his sword, but a sword energy shot out from his finger, injuring Monk Zikong, causing him to lose his fighting ability and never get up again.

Chen Kang shook his head secretly.

Monk Zikong is really overestimating his abilities.

At this moment, Xu Shilin's strength is comparable to that of a land god. How can he, a little monk, be able to stop him?

There were many monks who came to stop Xu Shilin.

But.

No one can block Xu Shilin's footwork.

Xu Shilin took his time and walked towards the Lei Feng Tower step by step.

"Amitabha."

The loud Buddha's name came.

An old monk wearing cassocks and holding a Zen staff stood in front of Xu Shilin, blocking Xu Shilin's way.

The old monk is Fahai.

Xu Shilin finally stopped.

Fahai said: "Master Zhuangyuan, I am a national teacher conferred by the imperial court. It is up to the imperial court to decide whether to release Bai Suzhen. I have not received an imperial edict from the imperial court. Breaking into Jinshan Temple by force is a serious crime. What are you doing, Zhuangyuan Scholar?"

Xu Shilin said: "Fahai, the last time I came to Jinshan Temple, I said all the truth that I should say. But you didn't let me go. So this time I come, I won't reason with you. Let's discuss swords."

Clang.

Xu Shilin pulled out the magic sword on his back.

Man and sword unite.

Xu Shilin turned into a sword light and killed Fahai.

Xu Shilin had already said what needed to be said.

There is nothing left to say, only one word left, type.

The Lei Feng Tower suppressed Bai Suzhen's body, but it did not seal her consciousness.

Xu Shilin's every move was under Bai Suzhen's insight.

The moment Xu Shilin drew his sword and used Haoran's sword energy, Bai Suzhen was shocked.

"My son's swordsmanship..."

"Shi Lin actually realized the aura of awe-inspiring energy."

"Also, the power that Shilin unleashed is really too powerful."

As soon as Xu Shilin made a move, he showed ten times the force and skill without any reservation.

Bai Suzhen knew that Xu Shilin's martial arts and swordsmanship were inherited from Chen Kang. At the same time, it also showed that Chen Kang had created martial arts skills that were comparable to cultivation techniques.

Bai Suzhen sensed Chen Kang's aura outside Jinshan Temple.

Bai Suzhen thought to herself: "Chen Kang, you taught my son very well. Thank you..."

Fahai's expression was solemn, and the Buddha's light on his body surged, like a small sun emitting golden light.

boom!

The awe-inspiring sword energy collided with the golden Buddha light.

The violent sword energy and the aftermath of the expansion of magic power destroyed many main halls of Jinshan Temple.

The golden light and sword light dissipated.

The two figures were revealed.

There was blood on the corners of Xu Shilin's mouth, obviously suffering from internal injuries.

Fahai was not doing well either, and there was blood on his cassock.

The two are equally matched in strength.

Xu Shilin was surprised at how powerful the old monk Fa Hai was. He didn't expect that he could control Haoran's sword energy with ten times the strength without taking any advantage.

Fahai was horrified.
