Chapter 1598: A Date

When he was dying, he recalled the words of the Confucian scholar whose name he didn’t know hundreds of years ago, and it was as if that sentence had become an eternity, circling around in his heart until the moment when his eyes closed, until the moment when his body’s lifespan was cut short, and he threw himself into the Soul Refining Streamer, becoming the main soul within it.

His divine sense exuded the last diffusion of his life, toward the Soul Refining Sect, and it was at this moment that he saw a person who fled to here from a distance at this time, mixing with those who wanted to worship the Soul Refining Sect’s mountain gate, a person with a very ordinary appearance.

The moment he saw this person, Nian Tian’s divine sense was flooded with unimaginable ripples, and he was shocked, appalled to realize that that person, was actually the Confucian scholar that he had asked about hundreds of years ago!

With confusion and an unthinkable speculation, his divine sense dissipated, and his YuanYing, became the soul of the 100,000 great streamers ……

Wang Lin was sent back to the county of Zhao and stood by the big tree outside that examination center, in front of him, Dafu was still sleeping, and everything before seemed to be just a dream.

“Cause and effect …… I have some understanding ……” Wang Lin looked at the sky, he once again saw that white flying bird, which circled back and slowly disappeared within the clouds.

Pushed Dafu awake, under the sparse sleep of Dafu, the two returned to the inn. The bright moon in the sky, falling on the earth, the two people’s silhouette reflection, pulled a long long long.

County examination, in a few days there will be a big list down, in those students anxiously waiting, this day comes. Those who can make the list will have the title of Xiucai.

This title, is to go to the Su city, to participate in the Su city examination qualification, have this qualification, will have the opportunity to soar, once become a Suju, you can go to the Zhao country’s Kyoto, to go to the last fight!

Even if you are talented and gain the appreciation of Su Dao, the great Confucian scholar of Su City, you will be famous all over the world, if you can worship Su Dao’s door and become his disciple, then the honor that you will gain will be indescribable!

This was a longing that Zhao’s scholars, almost dreamed of.

In the entire county, among the countless scholars, there were only less than fifty people who could obtain the title of Xiu Cai, and Wang Lin’s name, even though it wasn’t at the top, was among these dozens of people.

When he saw his own name, Wang Lin in turn did not have that kind of excitement, he was very calm to look at, and then led the giddy, even more than him, Dafu, took the road guide name prick to the county government office to certify the identity, took the voucher of obtaining the Xiu Cai merit title with the imperial court issued the reward silver, far away.

What made Dafu excited was not that Wang Lin had become a scholar, but the silver.

The things that he had experienced in this short month or so had invariably changed Wang Lin, or rather, he was supposed to be like this, that dream every night, always present, gradually Wang Lin had adapted.

His mentality, has changed, no longer have that kind of gain and loss of ideas, no longer like the earliest time of uncertainty, worried about their own after the loss of the list.

The gain is still there, the loss is still there.

Everything is nothing, only the heart as the old, then the heart as still water, the well is not wave. Like looking at a mountain is a mountain, looking at a mountain is not a mountain, looking at a mountain is still a mountain mood, Wang Lin in this short period of more than a month, even he himself did not find too much, changed too much.

That kind of generation of great scholar’s breath, gradually in his body loomed up, even among the countless scholars and students, his straight spine and calm gaze, like a pearl, proudly independent.

If you are an immortal, you look at all the cultivators coldly, and if you are a mortal, you are the same as a human being!

“Life is like a dream, this dream, I don’t want to wake up.” Wang Lin took Dafu, carrying bamboo rows of book boxes, in this county town that became a Xiucai dozens of people cheered and celebrated, in that more people gloomy and sad, left the county town.

As he came, calmly left, calmly.

Dafu followed behind Wang Lin, constantly counting the silver taels, muttering a few words from time to time, showing his heartache.

“Dafu, go buy wine!” Next to the gates of that county town, Wang Lin’s footsteps lurched and his gaze landed on a wine stall not far away, he suddenly wanted to drink, even though he had once gotten drunk in two cups.

“Silver is already scarce and you still want to drink!!!” That Dafu’s eyelids rolled, his right hand grasped his chest shirt and shook his head vigorously.

“What’s this bit of silver, a thousand pieces of gold are scattered and come back, quickly go buy wine!” Wang Lin had a smile on his face and pushed Dafu.

Dafu struggled with a long sigh, reluctantly came to the wine stall, in a meal that made Wang Lin dumbfounded haggling, even playing rogue, finally the peddler selling wine laughed bitterly, and sold Dafu two jugs of wine at a very low price.

Despite this, Dafu, who took out the silver, was still heartbroken even his complexion was twisted up, muttering under his breath.

“My, my ah, it’s mine!”

Wang Lin was dumbfounded, took the wine pot, took a big gulp, let the wine flow down the corners of his mouth, and walked out of the county with a long laugh, Dafu’s complexion was bitter, and he hurriedly followed behind.

At this moment is noon, under that blazing sun, the two of them walk farther and farther away, on Wang Lin’s back, it seems that the loneliness and loneliness has dissipated a lot, and in its place, there is a sense of spontaneity and uninhibited.

“Gongzi, where are we going?” Far away, in that heaven and earth, came Dafu’s voice.

“Su City, I heard that the osmanthus wine there is good, I’m going there and waiting for someone to come.” Wang Lin took another sip of wine and simply spread his tied hair, his laughter echoing.

Su City, five hundred miles south of Zhao’s Kyoto, this city is very large, a few silver dragon streams meander through this city, making this Su City, full of the meaning of a water town.

The name of Su City originates from Su Dao, but similarly, Su City is also a gathering of almost all the talents of the State of Zhao, where there are talents, there are naturally few beauties.

That a few silver dragon stream, its perennial existence of the boat, day and night song and dance, quite lively, talented poetry, beautiful people dance, more music and strings diffuse, making the whole Su City, will be shrouded in this piece of scarlet.

With the beauty of the same name, and Su City, large and small sales of osmanthus wine wine stores, Su City, osmanthus wine, extremely famous, it is said that even the dignitaries in Kyoto, often send people to Su City to buy this osmanthus wine.

The Su City’s contemporary great scholar Su Dao, in his early years, loved this wine, drinking wine to realize the vastness of heaven and earth, until after his fame, this osmanthus wine is also more known.

Two months on the road, in the blink of an eye, Wang Lin and Dafu two people, sitting in a simple carriage, in the official road to Su City, while drinking the wine bought on the way, while looking outside, and sometimes also came Wang Lin drunken laughter.

“Gongzi ah, don’t drink, you’re too scary when you drink, it’s only been two months, two months ah, look at how much wine you’ve drunk, this silver has almost all been drunk by you!!!” Dafu’s voice with a sobbing tone, transmitting that extreme heartache, came out in that carriage.

“If you keep on drinking, even if we reach Su City, we won’t have the silver to go for accommodation, let you drink, let you drink again!” Dafu’s ramblings became more and more frequent in these two months or so.

But this appearance of his, not only did it not make Wang Lin revolted, but instead, it started a feeling of seeming to become acquainted, and it was very kind.

“No harm, you are a bookkeeper, if there is no more silver, you go to earn some back is.” Wang Lin laughed with a teasing voice, sipping his wine, looking at Dafu who was sitting on the side with a bitter face.

In Dafu’s stumbling and rambling, at dusk, the light of the setting sun was red, but not blinding, but extremely soft, this carriage in the swaying, slowly approaching the city of Su.

Su city is very big, from a distance as a majestic city, but this is only its appearance, in its interior, is like the Jiangnan water moon general, filled with the meaning of euphony.

Paid off the fare, in that Dafu’s struggle, he looked at the little silver left in his hand, nearly cried out, the expenses along the way, most of them turned into alcohol, into Wang Lin’s stomach.

Wang Lin’s drinking capacity also unconsciously, has grown, no longer the original two cups on the drunken person.

After getting off the bus, Wang Lin cleaned up his outfit, under a white suit, his figure was very ethereal, his long hair was spread out, he was holding a wine pot in his hand, and the bookish look on his face had long since dissipated, and in its place, there was a sense of spontaneity.

Walking on the streets of Su City, all the way to see here many pedestrians, which students occupy most of the students, there are many women wearing beautiful clothes, embellished the Su City.

Wang Lin’s appearance is unusual, but the temperament of his body is extremely special, walking in the street, attracted many gazes, including many women’s beautiful eyes cast, Wang Lin look as normal, drinking wine, walking forward.

Dafu followed behind, these two months he almost never had a day that was not full of bitterness, at the moment still, sighing constantly.

Su City in the dusk, with the moonlight filling the air, the few rivers and streams in the boat, the sound of music will come leisurely, Wang Lin stood at the end of a bridge, looking at the river in the boat, the zither sound moving, surrounded by his ears.

“Gongzi, who exactly are we waiting for?” Dafu peeked at a few women who were dancing on the painted boat not far away, gulping his saliva, his eyes glowing.

“Waiting for a person from my dream, who will come and send me a pot of wine. If he really appears, it confirms one of my guesses.” Wang Lin looked calm and muttered.

“We’re just going to stand here and wait? Why don’t we find a cheap inn first ……” Da Fu looked at the already empty wine pot in Wang Lin’s hand and said carefully, he was afraid that Wang Lin was going to ask him to buy wine.

Wang Lin shook his head, his face showed a seemingly smiling color, glanced at Dafu and spoke leisurely.

“I remember the silver prepared quite a lot, especially from the county government office also took the reward silver ……”

“Is there? Uh …… forgot ……” Dafu blinked, looking embarrassed.

“Take out the ones you’ve stashed privately, go buy osmanthus wine for this gongzi, and go rent a small painted boat, we’ll live on the boat for the rest of our stay.” Wang Lin smiled and turned around, no longer looking at Dafu.

At this moment there was a wind blowing, rippling the river, blowing on Wang Lin, fluttering his hair up, the wind was soft, not cold, with a hint of warmth, along with it, there was also the sound of the zither strings.

“You, will you come ……,” Wang Lin muttered.
