The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

Although Croton's tongue can still speak, it is still very difficult for it to speak because it is an ordinary bird.

Fortunately, I can still hear the general tone. It seems I need to practice more in the future.

Then, after Xiao Han inquired, he learned that Badou had woken up from a sleep and found that he was not in the spirit beast bag, but had turned into an ordinary bird that was born not long ago and had not yet grown all its feathers.

Badou was confused, but he had no choice but to live like this.

If Xiao Han hadn't mentioned croton when he was speaking just now, it wouldn't have recognized that this was its master.

When the master and pet are reunited, Badou will naturally follow Xiao Han back.

However, the croton now naturally didn't need a cage. Xiao Han told the adults at home that this was his own bird and asked them not to drive it away. Then the croton settled in the Zhang family.

However, for Badou's safety, Xiao Han did not allow Badou to speak in front of others, and only communicated with her secretly.

Thanks to the fact that the current county magistrate of Huaiqing County was a relatively upright official, the people under his rule lived a better life.

Zhang Haishan managed the business well, and the Zhang family's small grocery store was doing well, so it was not too difficult to support Xiao Han's studies.

Xiao Han, relying on his excellent memory and natural talent in liberal arts, has become famous among the students and has become a well-known child prodigy in the entire Huaiqing County.

The Great Yong Dynasty did not prohibit the sons of merchants from taking the imperial examinations, so Xiao Han's identity as the son of a small grocery store owner would not have any impact.

After personally examining Xiao Han's knowledge, the county magistrate allowed her to take the county examination at the age of five.

Then she took the first place in the county examination and continued to take the prefectural examination, followed by the academy examination.

After three examinations, the youngest scholar in the Yong Dynasty, no, the youngest scholar in the history of the entire imperial examination system was born.

The biggest advantage of Xiao Han, the young scholar, becoming famous is that when she takes Shui Wuhen to the store to select medicinal herbs, the owner of the medicine store can open all the cabinets containing medicinal herbs and let her, actually Shui Wuhen, select and identify them one by one.

Xiao Han now had some money in his hands, so he could pay for the medicine.

Shui Wuhen has not been idle in the past few years. He has read several medical books that introduce the medicinal properties of various herbs. Now, based on the medicinal properties of those herbs and intuitive smell identification, he compares them with the smells of the body-tempering elixirs from his previous life. After purchasing all the necessary herbs, he began to experiment with drug-tempering.

With the emergence of Xiao Han, the prodigy scholar, she said that the body-tempering prescription was something she had read in an ancient book, and that it could strengthen the body so that one could withstand the subsequent several days of examinations in the Imperial Academy. The Zhang family not only had no doubts, but also fully supported it.

After passing the imperial examination and ranking first, Xiao Han was spotted by a famous scholar in the Dayong Dynasty and accepted as his disciple.

Xiao Han needs to study under this great scholar for three years before taking part in the provincial examination.

In her previous life, she was deprived of the opportunity to study. She had half a year left in her third year of junior high school and had to go out to work.

At that time, whenever she passed by a school and saw children studying, she would be extremely envious.

High school and college are the most sacred and desirable places in her heart.

Not having the opportunity to study was her biggest regret in her previous life.

But in this life, she can sit in school again, study step by step, and take exams. Even if it is not for Grandma Yuan's hope of bringing honor to the family, she will study hard and make up for the regrets of her previous life.

Yuan took her granddaughter Zhang Ruoyun and rented a house in the provincial capital to accompany her studies.

This was Xiao Han's strong request.

Although she lived with her great teacher and could only go home once a month, she still wanted her grandmother to follow her.

Yuan is almost seventy years old, and the days she and Grandma Yuan spend together are numbered.

However, purchasing body-hardening herbs and living in the provincial capital are both considerable expenses.

After winning the first place in the county case, Xiao Han had spent almost half of the benefits he had received. He began to wonder whether he should secretly write some storybooks and sell them.

On this day, it was time to go home for vacation. When Xiao Han passed by the gate of a magnificent mansion, he happened to see a man who looked like a housekeeper anxiously instructing a servant at the door.

"Remember, you must invite the abbot of Qingxu Temple. Money is not a problem. What matters is that he can exorcise evil spirits."

Exorcism? Money is no object!

Xiao Han immediately found a way to make money.

She quickly ran to a shop on the street and bought things like cinnabar and yellow paper.

Then, we came to the gate of a house that looked like it belonged to a wealthy family.

He raised his little fist and knocked it loudly.

The door opened a crack and a gatekeeper leaned out to look.

Xiao Han immediately brushed off his scholarly robe and said sternly, "There's an evil spirit causing trouble in your home. Take me with you and I'll exorcise it."

In order to get in smoothly, she used a little mental influence.

After the revision, this Shui Wuhen technique is suitable for mortals to practice and enhance their mental strength. Xiao Han has been practicing it for several years, and when he uses it now, it works immediately.

The doorman looked at this little kid who was only six or seven years old and actually felt that Xiao Han might really be capable.

Then he opened the door and let her in.

On the way to find the housekeeper, Xiao Han, under the influence of his mental power, learned that the lady of the house had been possessed by an evil spirit and gone crazy after returning from a trip out of the city.

The housekeeper heard what the doorman said and was about to get angry when he saw that Xiao Han was just a child, but Xiao Han immediately spoke up, "Did you see my clothes? I'm just a child, and I can wear this kind of scholar's clothes, which shows that I'm not an ordinary person."

The Qingjin of a Confucian scholar can only be worn by those who have at least achieved the title of scholar.

The housekeeper was stunned and immediately guessed her identity. After all, a child of five or six years old could pass the imperial examination and become the top scorer, which was big news.

"Are you the youngest scholar who won the first place in the imperial examination last year?"

Xiao Han raised his chin and said proudly, "That's right."

The housekeeper said, "Although you are known as a child prodigy and are good at studying, I'm afraid you are not good at exorcism, right?"

Xiao Han immediately said, "Since you know I'm a child prodigy, you know I'm not an ordinary person. How do you know I can't exorcise evil spirits? Take me with you to try. If there's no effect within a cup of tea, you can kick me out."

This time, she used her mental power to influence the butler.

Sure enough, the butler no longer hesitated and brought Xiao Han into the inner courtyard.

Although she was questioned by the owner, Mr. Wang, in the backyard, she resolved the problem by following his example.

As soon as he entered the room where the lady was imprisoned, Xiao Han immediately felt a strong evil aura.

A middle-aged woman in gorgeous clothes, with gloomy eyes, stared straight at Xiao Han who came in.

This is really being possessed by evil spirits.

Xiao Han simply said to the two strong servants, "Capture your wife."

Then he took out the cinnabar yellow paper and a brand new brush that had been prepared long ago from his sleeve pocket.

In front of the whole family, he drew a talisman to ward off evil spirits in a single breath.

Although it cannot be compared with the exorcism talismans in the world of immortal cultivation, these evil things in the mortal world cannot be compared with the evil things in the world of immortal cultivation.
