Chapter 127: Heaven Dao Schr
Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions
The county head also contained some excitement in his heart. He knew very clearly that the meaning of this Hall of Dao wasn’t just any ordinary one. Because, it was personally established by the daughter of the Divine Constabry.
Among the mist, the sound of hooves came nearer and nearer.
A figure gradually appeared riding on horseback. A blue robe danced lightly in the wind, and at the edges of his mouth, there was a faint smile.
"Fang Zhengzhi?!" The county head’s jaws instantly dropped.
The Law of Dao county examinations was invigted by the county head, hence, naturally he was able to instantly recognise Fang Zhengzhi. However, h was in disbelief.
"Zhengzhi is back?"
"Why did hee back to the vige? Isn’t he going to participate in the feast of the Divine Constabry?"
The viges stared with disbelief at the figure that appeared from the mist, some even shot their gazes towards the county head, confused.
The county head was filled with confusion. The invitation of the Divine Constabry was extremely important. For such an opportunity, ordinarily people would instantly rush to the Golden Scale City to familiarise themselves with the surroundings, learn about matters within the Divine Constabry and undergo some social interaction...
But, Fang Zhengzhi actually chose to return to the vige?!
After a moment of shock, the county head had suddenly somewhat understood. Then, a genuine trace of admiration appeared in his gaze towards Fang Zhengzhi.
A dragon that had already soared into the skies, as it soared, it didn’t look at the vast sky, but instead looked back at thend that raised it.
Such values...
Were incredibly valuable!
Fang Houde simrly saw Fang Zhengzhi, but only felt very surprised. There wasn’t much shock in his gaze, because, he knew his son’s heart.
"Uncle Yangping, Dad! Huh? County head..." At this moment, Fang Zhengzhi held his horse and neared the crowd.
This time, there were actually so many people at the vige entrance weing him, causing him to be indeed somewhat surprised. Recalling the previous county examination, he had felt around in the dark to enter the vige.
"Is there enough time?" Fang Houde didn’t speak much, instead, very normally opened his mouth and asked. Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to conceal his hands, which were trembling due to him being overly moved.
"It’s still early, I can stay in the vige for some time!" Fang Zhengzhi nodded.
"Zhengzhi... incredible! Your Uncle Yangping really didn’t overestimate you. Alright, go back and visit your mum first, we still have to wait here for a while!" Zhang Yangping’s tone was filled with the care and concern of an elder.
"You all aren’t waiting for me?"
"Waiting for you? Ha ha ha... we indeed really aren’t waiting for you!"
"The Hall of Dao of the Southern Mountain Vige is going to move into the Northern Mountain Vige, the county head had personally delivered the materials. Me and your Uncle Yangping will be waiting here for a while more." Fang Houde exined to Fang Zhengzhi.
"The Hall of Dao of the Southern Mountain Vige is going to move into the Northern Mountain Vige?" Fang Zhengzhi was slightly inwardly taken aback.
This was good news, but, at the same time, this was a news that caused him to feel somewhat fearful. After all, the Hall of Dao of the Southern Mountain Vige was personally established by Chi Guyan. Without Chi Guyan’s orders, who would dare to move it?
Chi Guyan...
That Runaway Lolita shouldn’t have left the Heaven Dao Pavilion, right?
That order should havee from within the Heaven Dao Pavilion.
But, why would she make such an arrangement? What was the purpose of this move?
Curry favour with him? Fang Zhengzhi didn’t dare to consider this. Not mentioning that he was only the double roll champion of the capital examination, even the double roll champion of an imperial examination wouldn’t even receive a second nce from Chi Guyan.
Furthermore, there was already the criminal demand order.
Don’t tell me...
This was the legend of spanking one for a sweet date to eat?
Or, nting a chess piece in the Northern Mountain Vige, a piece that could squeeze him to death any moment!
...
Fang Zhengzhi didn’t think too much about this. Because, with his current abilities, if Chi Guyan really wanted to squeeze him to death, he indeed really wouldn’t be able to resist.
When he returned home, Qin Xuelian was sewing a leather shoe in the room.
Their eyes met.
Fang Zhengzhi was somewhat delighted.
But Qin Xuelian’s eyes were widened. She rubbed her eyes hard, then, said to herself. "Ah... my longing had turned into a sickness, I have always hoped that Zhengzhi would return, but, my Zhengzhi is going to achieve great things, why would he return to the vige?"
"Mum, I am back!"
"Yes... as long as you are back, it’s good. Huh?! Zheng... Zhengzhi, you..." The leather shoe in Qin Xuelian’s hand fell to the ground, and a teardrop fell from her eyes.
Then, she suddenly stood up and immediately gave Fang Zhengzhi a big hug.
Warmth...
It was actually sometimes very simple.
...
At night, the Northern Mountain Vige was bustling with activity. A feast filled the vige square, and other than the vigers of the Northern Mountain Vige, vige chiefs from all around also came over to send their congrattions.
The county head, whose face was flushed with red, inquired the various vige heads about the situations in their vige, Wang Anhua also looked at Fang Zhengzhi with an unparalleled sense of delight and joy.
"After eight years of not seeing you, you have grown up!"
"Mister Wang doesn’t look old at all."
"Ha ha ha... who knew that after so many years, your mouth would still be as merciless as before?"
The happy atmosphere and the simplicity of the vigers filled the entire vige square. Fang Zhengzhi didn’t attempt to find out things from Wang Anhua, because, he knew Wang Anhua would definitely not say them.
...
The second day morning, the county head presided over the ceremony for the Law of Dao, then, interacted with Fang Zhengzhi about his experience during the examination, then returned to the Huai An County under the protection of a group of county guards.
The vige chiefs from the various viges also brought presents from their respective viges.
After the initial excitement, the Northern Mountain Vige resumed its simple life.
Everything was very calm.
The calm was just like the frozen surface of ake, no matter how strong the wind was, it still wouldn’t be affected.
Of course, there would also be exceptions. For example, sudden appearance of water birds on the surface of theke. They might not be able to peck through the thick ice surface, but they would definitely be able to leave a row of small w marks on the surface of the ice.
And also, like a schr who had appeared at the small mountain path at this moment. He was dressed inly yet elegantly, and his white robe billowed. Even though he stirred up a cloud of dust along the way, the edges of his clothes weren’t at all stained by the dirt.
The schr’s eyes were very bright, just like the brightest star in the night sky.
The distance from the Huai An County to the Northern Mountain Vige wasn’t too far, other than a few plots ofnd and small trails, there was only one main path. Hence, the county head who was rushing back to the Huai An County naturally had the fate to meet with the schr.
In reality, even though it was the main path, it actually wasn’t wide. At most, it would allow a horse carriage to pass. If there were two carriages, they could only travel by from the side of the road. Hence, this time, the county head didn’t ride a horse carriage when rushing to the Northern Mountain Vige.
Instead, he rode lightly on horseback, along with six guards.
The schr saw the county head, and the county head also naturally saw the schr.
By right, when one encountered an official from the county, one should at least greet...
But, the schr didn’t have such consciousness.
The county head stopped, but the schr didn’t seem to have any intention of stopping. This caused the six guards following behind the county head to be anxious.
They were indeed anxious, but they weren’t infuriated.
The expression of the county head also didn’t contain any form of anger, but the shock in his eyes couldn’t be concealed.
The schr finally passed by the county head and the rest of the group...
Nothing else happened.
But, the county head and the guards behind him gazed at the leaving figure of the schr and heaved a sigh of relief in unison, then wiped off the beads of sweat from their forehead that formed from their anxiousness.
"County head, is there a possibility that he is going to the Northern Mountain Vige?" A guard asked very carefully.
"No matter where he is going, that isn’t something we can ask!" The county head shook his head, but the expression on his face still hadn’t calmed downpletely.
"Roger!" The guards instantly answered.
"Let’s go!" The county head raised his whip, and mped his knees together.
A cloud of dust rose. He didn’t know the ability of the schr, he also didn’t know the name of the schr. But, he didn’t doubt that the schr had the power to determine his life and death in one sentence.
The reason was very simple.
On the sleeves of the schr, the two words, "Heaven Dao" was sewn.
...
Fang Zhengzhi was somebody who knew how to enjoy, and especially enjoying the fresh air of the mountain forest. In the morning, when a greenish white was revealed at the horizon, and when the red sun just started to rise, that warm feeling was veryfortable, and very soft.
To be able to find a smooth, big stone, then covering it with ayer of fur nket, piling a few delicious alcohol and snacks at the side and then roasting a freshly butchered curly furred rabbit.
Then, reading his book while waiting to enjoy the meal.
It was definitely a huge life blessing.
As the saying went: Within a book, there is a house of gold, and within the book, there is a beautiful girl.
As Fang Zhengzhi flipped the pages of the books, and took in the dense aroma of the roasting meat, he would asionally ponder, when would his beautiful woman appear?
But, Fang Zhengzhi was indeed passionate about books.
At least, the book in his hands was definitely a good book.
No matter how others thought, Fang Zhengzhi believed that this good was good.
Furthermore, it was extremely valuable. He could confirm that the value of this book was definitely much higher than those second-handed Law of Dao bought at the county that were now in Fang Zhengzhi’s home.
After all, this book was a lone book.
Even though he had attained it in a very lucky manner, but this book was indeed a lone book that contained illustrations.
Fang Zhengzhi read very conscientiously, and was also very rxed. As he read, he even hummed a very famous tune, his eyebrows even somewhat dancing.
"Beat the drums furiously but bang the gong slowly, stop the drums and the gongs to listen to the song. All sorts of gossips can be sung, hear me sing the Eighteen Touches."
"Reach out to touch the sister’s hair, clouds fly across half the sky. Reach out to touch to front of sister’s head, Heaven full..."
"..."
Singing in the mountain would cause one to be more or less affected by the scenery and enter an intoxicated state. Sometimes, one would even enter a state from which they wouldn’t be able to extricate themselves from, and would unconsciously sing in an even happier manner.
At this moment, Fang Zhengzhi was in this intoxicated state.
The happier he sang, the less able he was to control his voice.
Hence, the song passed through the forests, across the brook, over the mountains and echoed within the mountain passes.
Nobody knew how far his voice had gone.
However, one point was for sure...
If somebody walked past him, that person would definitely be able to hear the words of his song very clearly.
