Chapter 170 Ranking

"It really is a dream master!"

This strand of green mist was agile and lively, entangled constantly between Fang Yuan's fingers, and seemed to want to penetrate into his eyebrows.

It's just that every time it came to the edge of the palm, it was blocked by a layer of shimmering light, suppressed like a five-finger mountain.

"Then Xiao Mu must have been confused by this mist, so he was plagued by nightmares every day, and there may be other harms..."

Fang Yuan pondered for a while: "I just don't know, what exactly does Dream Master want?"

He took a few steps forward, came to the next wall, and released his divine essence, breaking through the green fog.

A hazy guest room suddenly came into view.

Although it is the same as here, it is shrouded in a thick layer of green mist. In the middle of the bed, Xiao Mu's eyes are closed tightly, his eyeballs are rolling, and his fingernails are clenched tightly on the quilt, scratching marks, as if he is undergoing some kind of torture.

And on his neck, the cyan tattoo of the evil spirit became more and more obvious, expanding to his chest, almost coming out of his body.

"The more painful this Xiao Mu's nightmare is, the stronger the power of the imprint will be... From this point of view..."

Fang Yuan's eyes moved.

At this moment, the entire void seemed to shake.

He looked stunned and looked at his hands: "Build a dream!"

A trace of internal energy suddenly emerged, breaking through the death barrier and reaching the realm of the Four Heavens Gate.

"Is Xiu Xiu the Eagle Claw Iron Clothes of Nine Levels restored?"

The expression on Fang Yuan's face suddenly became excited: "I found... the place where Yang Fan's thoughts are clear!!!"

To get rid of other people's dreams, especially the dreams of such a real evil dreamer, suicide or something is absolutely unacceptable, and the way of rebellion, unless the cultivation level is higher than that of the manifested dreamer, is useless.

The only way to break the situation lies in 'Shun'!

Comply with the subconscious mind of the original master of the dream, and understand the thoughts, and naturally break the dream!

"Originally, my dream-building ability was almost completely sealed, but now it's loosened. Does it mean that I've caught the key point?"

Fang Yuan looked at Xiao Mu who was still having nightmares.

"That's right...Yang Fan later became a dream teacher! Given his status in the family, how could he invite a teacher to teach him? So it must be an adventure!"

"Could it be... his adventure is here?"

With this thought in mind, Fang Yuan, who originally wanted to do something, was a little apprehensive. After thinking about it, his spiritual sense withdrew from the door.

...

"How did Brother Yang sleep yesterday?"

The breakfast in the inn is very rich, including steamed buns, flower rolls, sugar cakes, bean cakes, etc. Fang Yuan just had a bowl of green lotus rice porridge and drank it slowly.

Xiao Mu sat in front of him with a pair of panda eyes, hesitated to speak for several times, and finally couldn't help asking.

"Ah I?"

Fang Yuan made a look of astonishment: "Very good, I had no dreams all night, what's wrong?"

"Nothing!"

The muscles on Xiao Mu's face hesitated, loss, sadness, jealousy, resentment... all kinds of complex emotions gathered together, it was like smashing a big dye vat.

After being stared at by Fang Yuan with a half-smile, Xiao Mu's face turned even redder, he said goodbye, and hid back in the room.

"Interesting! Really interesting!"

Looking at his back, Fang Yuan was thoughtful.

This imprint of the dreamer is not like an ordinary imprint, but seems to hide a lot of secrets in it.

Ordinary people get it, whether it is a blessing or a curse, it is really hard to say.

...

In the examination hall.

There are more than a dozen rooms lined up, and many examiners review the test papers in front of them, meticulously.

As the chief examiner, the sheriff doesn't have much work to do. He only needs to sit in the center, review the papers highly recommended by each house, and then rank the final ones.

Of course, if you pass the examination to select a scholar, you have passed the examination. The first and the last must start from the pawns. It seems that there is no difference, but there is an addition to the resume, so there is also competition.

It's just that it's not that intense.

The county guard also came out of the examination, and he knew that these thin papers might be the place for a commoner's promotion, and he dared not neglect.

"Lord Sheriff! Room B is highly recommended!"

An official trotted over and presented a paper.

"Um?"

The sheriff glanced at the scroll first, and immediately nodded. Let’s not talk about how the examinee answered. The handwriting alone is very beautiful, with strong tendons and phoenix bones, but there seems to be a trace of cursive script in the middle, which mixes the original Taste, I can't help but feel a little regretful.

However, considering the age of this candidate, it is also very rare.

After reading the answer sheet, I saw that the scriptures and arithmetic are correct, but the policy theory is a subjective question. It depends on the examiner's personal preference to give points, but it is not too low.

Can't help but say: "Okay... the chief of this case has come out!"

Immediately ordered someone to bring a knife, and opened the blurb: "Xiao Mu? Huh? If there is no accident, he will be the first one this time!"

"Xiao Mu!?"

Daoist Fei Xiong who was sipping tea leisurely at the side was stunned: "Xiao Mu from the Xiao family?"

"Exactly!"

Seeing the attention of the town spirit man, the sheriff nodded, and immediately thought of something else: "The Taoist priest once focused on monitoring a student in the examination room, could it be this person?"

"Not bad... but I didn't find anything suspicious!"

Taoist Fei Xiong shook his head slowly.

"this……"

The sheriff hesitated a little, and immediately took the paper aside.

Not finding a problem does not mean that there is no problem. If you click on the head of the case, you will inevitably have to worry about it, but the other party's answer is really good, and you are a little bit reluctant.

"Lord Sheriff, the recommendation paper for Room A!"

After a while, another petty official came over, holding a paper high.

"The examiner of Room A is Mr. Peng, right? He is notoriously old-fashioned and pedantic. To be recommended by him is really a big deal. Let me take a look!"

With a hint of curiosity on his face, the sheriff opened the paper.

"Well, the handwriting is good, well-behaved, grand, but it's still a little worse than Xiao Mu's..."

The first impression was not particularly good, and the sheriff looked at the test paper again. As usual, there was nothing wrong with the first two pages.

"Well, not bad? Really good!"

He read it for the first time, the second time, and the third grade, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "Well, old officials who have not accumulated years can't do this!"

"oh?"

Taoist Fei Xiong became interested and stepped forward to take a look.

"This article is nothing more than a seasoned article. The key is rich experience, which is really unimaginable!"

The sheriff sighed repeatedly, and took Xiao Mu's paper again.

This comparison, the taste came out, although Xiao Mu's calligraphy is good, but when combined, it loses its strength, just like wandering soldiers, one is the best, but when you meet an army formation and strict orders The army, even if the quality of the soldiers is mediocre, will collapse immediately.

"Let the judgment be judged!"

Taoist Fei Xiong stroked his beard: "From the words of the volume, we can see that he is a person. The old Taoist is somewhat interested in these two!"

"This is a grand ceremony for the imperial court to collect materials, so don't think about kidnapping and practicing as you please!"

The sheriff laughed and cursed.

"How can it be so easy to find a talent for cultivating the Tao..."

Taoist Fei Xiong shook his head again and again: "It's just a good relationship, let's see their good luck!"

At the bottom of the pupils, a strange light flashed.

It is still unknown who this new scroll is, but Xiao Mu seems to be really talented and good-natured.

Immediately made up my mind, I will go and have a look again after the list is released.

"Haha...getting the world's talents and using them is a great joy in life!"

The sheriff smiled and began to unravel the ambiguity.

Seeing this scene, not only the officials on both sides, but even Taoist Fei Xiong stretched his neck a little.

...

Three days passed in a flash.

Fang Yuan and Xiao Mu came to the examination institute together, and found a teahouse nearby to sit and wait for the news.

"Brother Xiao is extremely talented, this time he will definitely win!"

Looking at Xiao Mu who was fidgeting in front of him, Fang Yuan smiled lightly and comforted him.

Most of the people sitting next to him were candidates for the exam, and they smiled kindly upon hearing this.

"Thank you for your words!"

Xiao Mu laughed uglier than crying.

The reason why he was restless was not because of his ranking in the exam, but the real reason was Fang Yuan in front of him.

However, these nights he intentionally assassinated him, but the other party acted like a normal person, which really made him a little suspicious, and it was inevitable to show an unnatural look in front of Fang Yuan.

"The exam has been released!"

At this time, after three cannon shots, the gate of the examination hall opened, and several guards came out with lists.

A lot of candidates gathered under the wall in a turbulent discussion.

"Haha... I hit it!"

"It's a pity that I can finally get a chance to be promoted, but I've already grown up. It's sad..."

"Don't bully the young and poor, after a year, I will definitely come back!"

Those on the list, those not on the list, joy, sadness, regret, and even ecstasy, etc., seemed to form a vortex, and Fang Yuan felt it exactly.

"This is not the real imperial examination. If you pass the examination, there will be officials doing it. It is already so crazy. If it is really an imperial examination to get a scholar, then it's still worth it?"

He sighed secretly in his heart, and immediately saw that the second place on the list was Xiao Mu's name, and immediately congratulated Xiao Mu: "Young Master Xiao, congratulations to the high school!"

"ah?"

Xiao Mu was a little dazed, he didn't have Fang Yuan's good eyesight, and after a wave of acquaintances came over to congratulate him, he realized that he not only passed, but also came in second, with a smile on his face: "Everyone, I invite you to drink tea." Already!"

"Brother Xiao doesn't seem very happy?"

Seeing this, Fang Yuan asked jokingly, "But why didn't you win the top case?"

"Brother Yang is joking, passing is passing, no matter how high or low the grades are, they all start with pawns, what's the difference?"

Xiao Mu forced a smile: "I just don't know who is the leader of the case?"

"Far in the sky, close in front of you!"

A familiar student next to him pushed Xiao Mu's shoulder: "This is Brother Yang Fanyang!"

"Oh? Sure enough?"

Xiao Mu was startled, and immediately felt that he had lost his composure.

In his heart, a kind of unwillingness bit his heart like a poisonous snake, and reluctantly congratulated Fang Yuan: "Brother's talent and learning are ten times that of mine, this is well deserved!"

He naturally knew that the other party was better than himself, but when he thought that the mark still followed him like a tarsal maggot, but let the person in front of him go, the resentment in his heart could no longer be appeased.

'Why? Why is this person who is better than me but doesn't have to suffer from me, why is this day so unfair? Why is this place so uneven? hatred! hatred! hatred! '

Xiao Mu's complexion was gloomy, and a ray of green light flashed in his eyes.
