While the Northern Mountain Village villagers were discussing Fang Zhengzhi's participation in the Law of Dao examinations, the Southern Mountain Village specially called for an emergency meeting.
Ding Qingshan's expression didn't look too good.
In reality, ever since he found out that Fang Zhengzhi had moved to the Northern Mountain Village, his expression had never been good. Because, in less than a month's time, the outer perimeter of Cang Ling Mountain was almost completely occupied by the Northern Mountain Village.
Ding Qingshan had thought of a way, but unfortunately, it didn't work at all.
Afterwards, he even thought of informing the Divine Constabulary of Fang Zhengzhi's whereabouts, and let the Divine Constabulary chase Fang Zhengzhi away. Unfortunately, in these eight years, the Divine Constabulary didn't step foot into the Southern Mountain Village.
He had also mentioned this to the Hall of Dao lecturer Wang Anhua, but Wang Anhua only smiled at this. Nobody knew that Wang Anhua had already informed the Divine Constabulary of this news before Ding Qingshan.
However, all he got in return was three words, "I got it."
"This year is the eighth year, if he can't pass this time, then …" Ding Qingshan's gaze revealed some worry. Because, the scene eight years ago, was still fresh in his mind.
"Brother Qingshan, don't worry! This time, I have a hundred percent confidence! Furthermore, Hu 'er has also prepared very well, I feel that he will definitely pass the county examination! "Li Zhuangshi's voice rang out.
Ding Qingshan looked at Li Zhuangshi and nodded. Just as the previous village chief Meng Bai predicted, even though Li Zhuangshi had gone overboard eight years ago, but, he was indeed the Southern Mountain Village's only hope.
Because, in these eight years, only Li Zhuangshi had successfully passed the county Law of Dao examinations.
As long as he entered the first-class roll in the capital examination, he could become a dragon in one step.
"What do you think … Fang Zhengzhi's chances of passing the Law of Dao examinations??" Ding Qingshan once again looked at the crowd below, and voiced out the worry in his heart.
"Impossible!" Li Zhuangshi said with certainty.
"Why is Brother Li so sure?" Ding Qingshan knew of the feud between Li Zhuangshi and Fang Zhengzhi. Hearing Li Zhuangshi's words, he indeed had some doubts in his heart.
"In terms of combat examinations, Fang Zhengzhi can indeed pass the county Law of Dao examinations. But, in terms of theory examinations, he definitely can't pass! How can a self-educated person understand the meaning of sages? What he had read was merely superficial knowledge! Moreover, there are two rounds of theory examinations. If he can't pass these two rounds, he won't even have the chance to enter the combat examinations! "Li Zhuangshi explained to Ding Qingshan.
"What if?" Ding Qingshan was still a little worried.
"There are no ifs! Taking ten thousand steps back, even if he really has the ability to pass the Law of Dao examinations, he won't be able to. Brother Qingshan, don't worry! "Li Zhuangshi seemed to be extremely confident.
"Why?" Ding Qingshan was puzzled.
"Because, he doesn't even have the right to register!" Li Zhuangshi let out a cold laugh.
…
There was only one day left before the Law of Dao examinations.
The sun rose high in the sky. After breakfast, Fang Zhengzhi leisurely packed his luggage in the courtyard. Outside the courtyard, there was a crowd of villagers pointing and gossiping.
"Zhengzhi, aren't you going to take the examinations? Why haven't you gone out yet? "
"Yeah, the sun is about to rise to the top!"
"I saw that the Southern Mountain Village had already set off at the first glimmer of light, aren't you going to the county to make some preparations?"
The villagers very "passionately" questioned Fang Zhengzhi. Even though their tone wasn't very pleasant, but a smile hung on their faces, and they didn't have any real ill intentions.
"Everything is ready!" Fang Zhengzhi smiled, then mounted the Silver Scale Horse.
Qin Xuelian ran out from the house again, and took out a few large pieces of roasted meat wrapped in yellow paper. "Zhengzhi, take this meat and eat it on the way, don't starve!"
"Yes, thank you mother!" Fang Zhengzhi directly received it, then lightly pulled on the reins.
The Silver Scale Horse let out a joyful low roar, then leisurely passed through the crowd of villagers, and leisurely walked towards the village entrance with small quick steps.
"Sister Xuelian, don't worry, Zhengzhi will be back in a few days, it won't take long!"
"That's right, I heard that the Law of Dao theory examination is very difficult!"
"If Zhengzhi can't pass the theory examination, he can come back directly?"
"That's for sure!"
"Great! After a few days, he can go hunting in the mountains with brother Zhengzhi! "
The villagers chattered noisily, but Qin Xuelian wasn't angry at all. "He can still try his luck, and rely on his quick-wittedness to pass the first round of theory examination right?"
"Ha ha ha …" When the villagers heard this, they laughed and ran off.
Fang Zhengzhi, who hadn't gone far, almost fell off the Silver Scale Horse when he heard Qin Xuelian's words. In an instant, he didn't feel too good.
"Mother, you are my biological mother!"
…
"Go!" After leaving the village, Fang Zhengzhi increased his pace. Even though the Silver Scale Horse's bloodline wasn't as noble as the Snow Treading Dragon Stallion, but it was still bought for twenty silvers.
In the entire Northern Mountain Village, there was only one horse. As for the Southern Mountain Village? Naturally, it was impossible.
If not for the Silver Scale Horse, Fang Zhengzhi could only bitterly emulate the Southern Mountain Village, rushing in the dark before the sky even brightened. That kind of pain naturally didn't need to be mentioned.
He sprinted along the way.
When he was five miles away from the Huai An County, Fang Zhengzhi saw a group of people from the Southern Mountain Village rushing to the examinations.
Li Huer, who was the same age as Fang Zhengzhi, was also in the group. He wore a short sleeved shirt, his eyebrows were extremely thick, and he had a dark and sturdy build, looking very similar to Li Zhuangshi.
"Oh, Fang Zhengzhi, you really want to participate in the Law of Dao examinations?" Li Huer just happened to turn his head, and instantly saw Fang Zhengzhi riding on the Silver Scale Horse. Even though his tone was sour, but, when he saw the Silver Scale Horse, he was extremely envious.
"That's right!" Fang Zhengzhi stopped the Silver Scale Horse, and rode alongside Li Huer and the rest.
"Zhengzhi, even though our families have some misunderstandings, but we are still considered to be from the same village. I have also watched you grow up, this Law of Dao examination isn't like hunting in the mountains, it's too difficult! It's a pity that I still have to prepare for the capital examination, if not, I could take some time to give you some pointers! "
When Li Zhuangshi saw Fang Zhengzhi, he instantly put on the demeanor of an elder. In his heart, after this capital Law of Dao examination, he would be recruited into the Divine Constabulary, and his future would naturally be limitless.
"Uncle Li, during this capital examination, don't perform abnormally again?" Fang Zhengzhi smiled slightly, and pulled the reins of the Silver Scale Horse. With a long neigh, it galloped away.
Only leaving behind a trail of smoke and dust …
Li Huer choked on a mouthful of horse hoof dirt, and coughed loudly a few times.
"Father, why didn't you tell him about the Law of Dao examination qualifications just now?" Li Huer originally wanted to say, but was interrupted by Li Zhuangshi, hence, he was somewhat confused.
"What do you know? Fang Zhengzhi really has too many ideas! I'm afraid that if I tell him now, with his intelligence, he might really be able to think of a way! Hence, the later he finds out, the more disadvantageous it would be. At that time, he wouldn't be able to enter the examination venue, and could only return to the village dejectedly, ha ha ha … "Li Zhuangshi looked at the disappearing Fang Zhengzhi and laughed.
"Father is still the best! After father passes this capital examination, I can enter the Divine Constabulary. At that time, I will definitely make Fang Zhengzhi suffer! "Li Huer's face was filled with pride.
"Rubbish! You better remember, Fang Zhengzhi isn't our enemy! "When Li Zhuangshi heard Li Huer's words, his expression instantly changed.
"Why isn't Fang Zhengzhi our enemy? I don't really understand … "Li Huer was somewhat confused.
"Because your father and his father grew up together! They also entered the hunting squad together! Sigh … actually, eight years ago, I did that because I was afraid that Fang Zhengzhi would snatch your place in the Hall of Dao. But in the end, it was proven that he simply didn't need to snatch your place in the Hall of Dao. Hence, the Li family still owes the Fang family! But, even though I wouldn't go so far as to harm him, I also don't wish for him to become stronger! "
Li Zhuangshi looked at Li Huer's confused expression, and felt somewhat resentful towards him for failing to live up to his expectations.
"These few years, even though Fang Zhengzhi had encircled the outskirts of the Cang Ling Mountain, with some intentions of occupying the mountain and becoming the king, but, he didn't exterminate everyone. Otherwise, how would the Southern Mountain Village be able to last till now?"
"I understand!" Li Huer nodded.
"Uncle Li is right, even though my grandfather lost his village chief position because of Fang Zhengzhi, but, I don't hate him!" Within the crowd, a youth slightly older than Li Huer also spoke at this moment. It was Meng Bai's grandson, Meng Jiangshan.
…
The registration for the Law of Dao examination had begun a month ago. Even though there was only one day left until the Law of Dao examination, but, the registration office was completely deserted.
Hence, without even needing to queue, Fang Zhengzhi arrived in front of the registration officer.
"Registration!"
"Hall of Dao token, Hall of Dao recommendation letter!" The registration officer was yawning, preparing to leave after another two hours. Suddenly hearing that someone wanted to register, and looking at the person's coarse blue robe, he became somewhat impatient.
"Hall of Dao token? Recommendation letter? What's that? "Fang Zhengzhi's face was filled with confusion.
