"He is indeed the Dream Master!"
This green mist was lively and lively, lingering around Fang Yuan's fingers, and seemed to want to penetrate into his eyebrows.
But every time he came to the edge of his palm, he was blocked by a layer of faint light, suppressing it like a five-finger mountain.
"Xiao Mu must have been confused by this fog, so he suffers from nightmares every day. Maybe there are other harmful effects..."
Fang Yuan pondered for a moment: "I just don't know what the dream master wants?"
He took a few steps forward and came to the next wall. He released his divine energy and broke through the green mist.
A hazy guest room suddenly came into view.
Although it was no different from here, it was shrouded in a thick green mist. On the bed in the middle, Xiao Mu's eyes were closed tightly, his eyes were rolling, and his nails were clinging to the sheets, scratching them, as if he was undergoing some kind of torture.
On his neck, the cyan evil ghost tattoo became more and more obvious, expanded to his chest, and almost seemed to leave his body.
"The more painful Xiao Mu's nightmare is, the stronger the power gained by the mark... 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 inner strength suddenly emerged, breaking through the death barrier and reaching the realm of the Four Heavenly Gates.
"Have you restored the cultivation level of the Eagle Claw Iron Clothes Shirt in the Nine Levels?"
Fang Yuan's face suddenly showed excitement: "I found... the place where Yang Fan's thoughts can be accessed!!!"
To break away from other people's dreams, especially the dreams of evil sect dream masters that are so real, committing suicide is absolutely impossible, and the way of rebellion is useless unless your cultivation level is higher than that of this holy dream master.
The only way to break the situation is to be "smooth"!
If you comply with the subconscious mind of the original dream owner and have clear thoughts, you can naturally break the dream!
"Originally, my ability to build dreams was almost completely sealed. Now it has loosened up. Does this mean that I have caught the key?"
Fang Yuan looked at Xiao Mu, who was still having nightmares.
"That's right... Yang Fan later became a dream master! With his status in the family, how could he hire a teacher to teach him? So it must be a chance encounter!"
"Could it be that...his adventure is here?"
With this idea in mind, Fang Yuan, who originally wanted to take action, was a little wary. After thinking about it, his consciousness exited the door.
…
"Brother Yang, how did you sleep yesterday?"
The breakfast in the inn was very rich, including steamed buns, flower rolls, sugar cakes, bean cakes, etc. Fang Yuan only 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. He hesitated several times and finally couldn't help but ask.
"Ah I?"
Fang Yuan looked astonished: "Very good, no dreams all night, what's wrong?"
"Nothing!"
The muscles on Xiao Mu's face were hesitant. Loss, sadness, jealousy, resentment...all kinds of complex emotions gathered together, as if a big dye vat had been smashed.
After being stared at by Fang Yuan with a half-smile, Xiao Mu's face turned red, he said goodbye and hid in his room.
"Interesting! Really interesting!"
Looking at his back, Fang Yuan was thoughtful.
This dream master's mark does not look like an ordinary mark. Instead, it seems to have many secrets hidden in it.
It is hard to say whether it is a blessing or a curse for ordinary people to get it.
…
Within the examination hall.
There are more than a dozen rooms lined up, and many examiners are reviewing the test papers in front of them, meticulously.
As the chief examiner, the county guard does not have many duties. He only needs to sit in the center, review the papers recommended by each department, and then rank the final ones.
Of course, in this exam, if you pass the exam, you have passed the exam. Both the first and last place must start as a clerk. There seems to be no difference, but it can add something 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 few thin papers might be the promotion level for a commoner.
"Lord Sheriff! I highly recommend one for Room B!"
An official trotted over and presented a paper.
"Um?"
The county guard took a look at the paper first, and immediately nodded. I won’t say how the candidate answered. The words alone were very beautiful, with dragon sinews and phoenix bones. However, there seemed to be a hint of cursive writing in the middle, which mixed with the original meaning. 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 classic meaning and arithmetic were all correct. Only the strategy question was a subjective question. The scores were awarded based on the examiner's personal preference, but they were not much lower.
He couldn't help but say: "Okay... the head of this case has come out!"
He immediately ordered someone to get a knife and opened his name: "Xiao Mu? Huh? If there is no accident, he will be the first one this time!"
"Xiao Mu!?"
Taoist Fei Xiong, who was enjoying tea slowly beside him, was stunned: "Xiao Mu of the Xiao family?"
"Exactly!"
Seeing the town spirit man paying attention, the county guard nodded, and then thought of something else: "The Taoist Master had focused on monitoring a student in the examination room before. Could it be this person?"
"Not bad... but nothing suspicious was found!"
Taoist Fei Xiong shook his head slowly.
"this… "
The Sheriff hesitated a little and quickly took the paper aside.
Just because no problem is found does not mean that there is no problem. If you click on the top 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 reluctant to give up.
"Lord Sheriff, please give me a recommendation for Room A!"
After a while, another clerk came over, holding a paper high.
"The grading officer for Room A is Mr. Peng, right? He is a famously old-fashioned scholar. It is really no small matter to be recommended by him. Let me take a look!"
There was a trace of curiosity on the Sheriff's face and he opened the paper.
"Well, the handwriting is good, neat and dignified, but it's still a little worse than Xiao Mu's..."
The first impression was not particularly good. The county guard looked at the paper again. As usual, there was no mistake in the first two pages. The policy was clear and clear, which made it feel interesting again.
"Well, not bad? It's really good!"
After he read it for the first time, the second time, and the third time, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Excellent, I have to be an old official to do this!"
"oh?"
Taoist Fei Xiong became interested and stepped forward to take a look.
"This article is just a seasoned article. The key is rich experience. It's really unimaginable!"
The county guard sighed repeatedly and took Xiao Mu's paper again.
This comparison brings out the taste. Although Xiao Mu's calligraphy is good, when combined, it loses his character. It's like a wandering soldier. On his own, he looks good, but when he encounters someone who forms an army formation and gives strict orders, A large army, even if its soldiers are of average quality, will be instantly defeated.
"Let's judge!"
Taoist Fei Xiong stroked his beard: "Juan's name shows that he is a person. Even the old Taoist is somewhat interested in these two!"
"This is a grand ceremony for the imperial court to collect materials. Don't even think about it and leave it to your practice!"
The Sheriff laughed and cursed.
"It's so easy to find talent for cultivating Taoism..."
Taoist Fei Xiong shook his head repeatedly: "It's just a matter of forming a good relationship and seeing what happens to them!"
At the bottom of his eyes, a strange light flashed.
It is still unknown who this new volume is, but Xiao Mu seems to be a truly qualified and accomplished person.
I immediately made up my mind to check it out again after the rankings were released.
"Haha... It's a great pleasure in life to get the world's talents and put them to use!"
The Sheriff smiled and began to reveal his identity.
Seeing this scene, not only the officials on both sides, but also Taoist Feixiong stretched their necks.
…
Three days passed in a flash.
Fang Yuan and Xiao Mu came to the examination hall together and found a teahouse nearby to sit and wait for the news.
"Brother Xiao is extremely talented, you will definitely win this time!"
Looking at Xiao Mu who was sitting uneasily in front of him, Fang Yuan smiled and comforted him.
Most of the people sitting next to him were students taking exams, and they gave him a few kind smiles after hearing this.
"Thank you for your kind words!"
Xiao Mu smiled uglier than crying.
The reason why he was restless was not because of his ranking in the examination. The real reason was only because of Fang Yuan in front of him.
However, in the past few nights, he had deliberately plotted against Fang Yuan, but the other party acted like a normal person, which really made him a little suspicious, and it was inevitable that he would show an unnatural expression in front of Fang Yuan.
"The exam results are released!"
At this time, after three cannons were fired, the entrance door of the examination hall opened, and several officers came out with the list.
Many candidates suddenly became excited and gathered under the wall.
"Haha... I'm hit!"
"I finally got a chance to be promoted, but my hair has already grown. It's so sad..."
"Don't deceive the young man into being poor. In one year, I will definitely come back!"
Emotions such as those on the list, those not on the list, joy, sadness, regret, and even ecstasy, seemed to form a whirlpool, and were sensed by Fang Yuan without fail.
"This is not a real imperial examination. There are official positions in the examination. It is already so crazy. If it is really an imperial examination to obtain scholars, how can it be done?"
He sighed secretly in his heart, and soon saw Xiao Mu's name on the list, and he immediately congratulated Xiao Mu: "Master Xiao, congratulations on high school!"
"ah?"
Xiao Mu was a little confused. He didn't have Fang Yuan's good eyesight. After a wave of acquaintances came to congratulate him, he realized that not only did he pass, but he also ranked second. He forced a smile on his face and said: "Everyone, I'll give you tea." Got it!"
"Brother Xiao doesn't seem very happy?"
Seeing this, Fang Yuan asked jokingly: "But is it because we haven't taken the lead yet?"
"Brother Yang was joking. Passing means passing. No matter how high or low your grades are, you all start as a pian official. What's the difference?"
Xiao Mu forced a smile: "I just don't know who the leader of the case is?"
"Far away, yet so close!"
A familiar student next to him pushed Xiao Mu's shoulder: "That's Brother Yang Fan!"
"Oh? Sure enough?"
Xiao Mu was startled, and soon felt that he had lost his composure.
In my heart, there was a kind of unwillingness biting my soul like a poisonous snake, and I reluctantly congratulated Fang Yuan: "Brother is ten times more talented and knowledgeable than me. This is a well-deserved honor!"
He naturally knew that the other person was better than him, but when he thought that the mark was still following him like a tarsal maggot, but he had let go of the person in front of him, the resentment in his heart could no longer be subsided.
"Why? Why is this person better than me but doesn't have to bear my pain? Why is this day so unfair? Why is this land so unfair? Hate! Hate! Hate!"
Xiao Mu's face was gloomy, and a ray of green light flashed in his eyes.
