There are still three days left before the county trial is released. When he has nothing to do, Jiang Hao took out the purple gold gourd he had obtained before and prepared to test it.

"Zhu Guang, help me protect the Dharma." Jiang Hao said.

"It's the young master!"

Zhu Guang took out the pig-killing knife and stood beside him, looking majestic, with a sense of protecting the Dharma.

Sitting cross-legged, holding the purple gold gourd in his hand, carefully exploring his mind, the spiritual power flowed over the formation runes, and suddenly entered a dark space. The space was huge and empty, and it was not visible up, down, left and right. After investigation, Jiang Hao found that this gourd had three formations, and he was not sure about its function.

After exiting the gourd, Jiang Hao thought for a while, and had some guesses in his mind that the formation could be activated with spiritual power. As for the function, Jiang Hao looked up at Zhu Guang standing next to him.

"Zhu Guang, what do you feel when Taoist used this gourd to catch you that day?" Jiang Hao asked.

Zhu Guang scratched his head, "The Taoist pointed the gourd at me and chanted the spell. I suddenly felt like an invisible big hand poked out of the gourd and grabbed me. My whole body was imprisoned and could not move at all. The big hand pulled me into the gourd. If the amulet given to me by the young master had not exploded, I would have been caught in the gourd in a moment."

Speaking of this, Zhu Guang is still feeling a little scared now.

Jiang Hao thought to himself that among the three rune formations in the purple gold gourd, one of them must be the "Ghost Receiving" formation.

Jiang Hao used his spiritual power to inject it into the gourd, and he felt something in his heart. The formation was activated, and suddenly formed a large spiritual hand to grab Zhu Guang.

Suddenly being caught, feeling the violent pulling force, Zhu Guang was startled. At this time, Jiang Hao said, "Zhu Guang, don't resist, help me try what the function of this gourd magic weapon is."

"I understand." Zhu Guang gave up resisting.

Whoosh~!

Zhu Guang's body disappeared in an instant.

The next moment, Jiang Hao's mind followed him into the gourd space and found that Zhu Guang was floating in the dark space, with a confused look on his face and a hint of fear.

"Zhu Guang, can you hear me?" Jiang Hao was sent to his senses.

Zhu Guang was shocked and immediately shouted: "Young Master, Zhu Guang can hear your voice, it's very clear."

"You can look around to see if you can find the margin?"

Zhu Guang flew up, soaring from front to back and left to side. In Jiang Hao's vision, although Zhu Guang was flying, he was always trapped in the same place and did not move at all.

"Young Master, this space seems boundless." Zhu Guang shouted into the air.

Seeing this, Jiang Hao understood that this should be a trapping array of gourds, trapping ghosts and unable to come out.

There was also the last formation. Jiang Hao inputted spiritual power to activate it. Zhu Guang only felt a blue yin fire rising from the air, surrounding him. The yin fire burned on his ghost body, and it felt heart-wrenching.

"Ah~~!"

Zhu Guang screamed in pain.

"Young Master!"

Jiang Hao was shocked and immediately withdrew his spiritual power and removed the Yin Fire. Zhu Guang felt better. Jiang Hao was trapped in the formation and released Zhu Guang out of the gourd.

After Zhu Guang came out, he was still scared and looked frightened. Jiang Hao found that his ghost light was a little weaker, which surprised Jiang Hao. It only took a few seconds to burn the yin fire, which damaged Zhu Guang's soul.

The last time the two performed in the county government, Jiang Hao stabbed Zhu Guang with a money sword. Whether it was spraying white air or the ghost body's green light weakened in the end, it was actually a show. It was the sound, light and electricity effect arranged by Jiang Hao for others to see. This time Zhu Guang was really injured.

"Zhu Guang, how do you feel?" Jiang Hao asked.

Zhu Guang's face was still shocked, "I felt like I was burned by the Yin Fire, and it felt so painful. Moreover, the Yin Fire could burn the ghost energy on my body. I am afraid that I will be completely burned by the Yin Fire in the near future."

After hearing this, Jiang Hao nodded and thought to himself that the Yinhuo was so powerful.

I picked up the gourd and looked at it for a long time. The more I looked at it, the more I liked it, the more I felt it. This gourd is definitely a good treasure to deal with ghosts.

Taoist Lingxiao said that this is the treasure of the Zhenguan of their Xuanyuan Temple. It is indeed not simple for many years to be passed down.

Moreover, this treasure was slapped away by Zhu Guang using a ghost weapon to kill the pig knife. Jiang Hao did not find any bumps on the gourd, and this gourd must be an extremely solid thing.

Jiang Hao was also happy to get the treasure. He kept using spiritual power to wash the formation and was familiar with how to use it. During this period, Zhu Guang was sniffed and vomited, and tossed for more than a dozen times. However, Jiang Hao did not activate the Yin Fire, for fear that Zhu Guang would be incinerated.

Jiang Hao is practicing hard. In the county government, the county magistrate is reviewing the test papers for this county examination. Although the county magistrate Wang is a corrupt official, he is indeed a Jinshi. He has some talent and knowledge, and can see the quality of these articles.

"The word "is like a dog crawling!"

"The poems have no beauty."

"The article is nonsense!"

"There are all missing and useless words!"

The Wang County Magistrate had more than 30 papers on the table, which were all spent on this county trial. As for those who did not spend money, he didn't even look at it. But to be honest, these papers were a bit really rubbish.

I took another paper and read it. I only looked at the handwriting on the paper. The lines revealed the strong structure and dignified and elegant feeling, which was very pleasing to the eye. When I looked at the content, I answered them all in a very appropriate way, whether it was dictated or poetry and essays.

Looking at the candidate's name, Qingxi Zhenjianghao.

The county magistrate was slightly shocked. Jiang Hao told him that day that he had a talent for the case, but he did not expect that there was no false statement. Judging from this paper, it was far superior to other candidates. He could indeed get a case. No wonder he was so angry.

"Do you want to give him the head of the case?" the county magistrate murmured.

Although he had agreed to Jiang Hao before, he also took other people's money, and now he has obtained the money sword. The evil ghost has not come for many days, so maybe he doesn't need to keep his promises carefully.

In fact, it's okay to give him a second place.

Just as the county magistrate was about to write the words in red, suddenly the closed window opened, and a cool breeze blew from outside. The candles swayed violently, and the outside was pitch black, making the room look full of ghosts.

County Magistrate Wang's hand shook violently, and suddenly he thought of the evil ghost in his mind. He suddenly shuddered and wrote two characters of red.

"First".

......

Today is the day when the county trial is released. Many people gathered outside the county school. There are students who refer to this time, and there are people watching the fun, gathering more than a thousand people.

Jiang Hao, Cui Sheng, Han Yi, Zhao Licheng, Li He and others also came here early. Before the results were released, they gathered together to chat.

"Brother Zhao is hopeful this time?" Li He asked.

Zhao Licheng shook his head, "I have been taking the exam for more than ten years, but I have nothing to improve. Besides, everyone else has spent money, we may not have a chance, but we always have a trace of hope in our hearts."

"Oh~!"

The few people only sighed.

Jiang Hao didn't say anything.

It was almost noon when a team of yamen runners came out, and the leader shouted "Shut up!", and the noise around him gradually became smaller.

"Released!"

With a loud shout, two yamen runners walked out and began to brush paste the list.

Seeing that the list was posted, people began to crowd down the list despite the scolding, and for a moment the list became chaotic.

"Ahhhh~ I've won!"

"I have me and I have seen my name."

All those who cheered were wearing gorgeous clothes, while most shabby people looked lonely.

Suddenly someone shouted, "The top of the list is out, Jiang Hao, who is Jiang Hao?"

Cui Sheng and his friends squeezed in front of him and glanced over. They couldn't find their name. Although they were mentally prepared, they were still disappointed. However, when they saw the name of Jiang Hao, the people were shocked.

"Ah, Brother Jiang, you are the top of the list!"

"It's not the same name, right?"

"Probably not."

People looked to Jiang Hao, and Jiang Hao was not excited to see his name at the top of the list, but he thought that there was no need to let Zhu Guang find the magistrate of Wang County.

Cui Sheng and others surrounded Jiang Hao and left the list. When they arrived at a place with few people, they congratulated each other. Han Yi said: "I didn't expect that Brother Jiang would be the leader of the high school case and the leader of a county case. As long as there is no big problem, a scholar's reputation will be stable."

When the county case is first, when the prefecture and supervisor are usually not particularly dissatisfied, they will give face to the local magistrates and win the first case of each county.

Several people came to the restaurant to ask for a table to celebrate Jiang Hao. During this period, they lamented a lot. Jiang Hao asked if they still took the exam. Cui Sheng, Han Yi, and Li He said they would continue to take the exam. Zhao Licheng shook his head, "I won't take the exam anymore. A big man can't always let his wife manage the family business. I had already agreed with my uncle before that I would go to Huji's shop to be a secretary."

It was already evening when Jiang Hao returned home, but he found that there were many people standing in the yard of his home, all of whom were nearby villagers. He only nodded on weekdays. He heard that Jiang Hao passed the exam and was at least a scholar in the future, so he all came to congratulate him.

"The first person in the exam will be successful, and the scholar will be successful." said an old man.

"I always see myself studying hard. This time I really have the first place in high school. I will definitely be the first in Jinshi in the future." An old lady said with a smile.

"I will surely make a fortune in the future and make a great success!" Someone said in a random manner.

It was just a small county examination. The first step of the imperial examination in the Long March attracted so many congratulations, which shows how important the imperial examination is in the minds of the people.

Actually, if you think about it, if you have good grades in the college entrance examination in the future, will you be envied?

Since the Sui Dynasty, the imperial examinations have been through more than a thousand years and have really been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

The Jiang family was lively for a long time before people dispersed.

But one person stayed at the end, wearing a blue jacket from the servant, came over to bow to Jiang Hao and bowed to him: "Mr. Jiang, I am a servant of the Hu family. The master knew that Mr. Gongzi was in high school and specially sent an invitation to ask Mr. Gongzi to go to the Hu family for a banquet tomorrow."

As he said that, he held a red invitation.

Jiang Hao opened it and looked at it, nodded and said, "Jiang will go to the banquet tomorrow."

The servant got the reply and hurriedly left and replied.

Looking at the invitation, Jiang Haoxin said, the old fox's message is quite effective, it's not that he always pays attention to himself. This is a meeting and it doesn't matter, but he has to treat himself specifically. Jiang Hao always feels that the old fox wants to get something from him.
