, making while making tea and thanking him.

After a few words of courtesy, Daoist Zhang smilingly said to Pan Zhou, "Your son will go to the capital this time to win the laurels ......"

Just said here, Zhang Daoist's smile suddenly froze, he stared at Pan况's face, astonished mouth wide open. Pan Zhou looked at all hairy, and do not know what happened. Pan Dingcheng followed Daoist Zhang's gaze and did not find anything different about his son. At this time, Zhang Daoist stood up and circled Pan Zhou. Then, he shook his head and sighed: "Pity, pity! It's a pity!" Pan's father and son looked at each other and were puzzled.

After a long time, Pan Dingcheng asked in confusion, "May I ask Daoist Master, why did you say that?"

Daoist Zhang did not answer, but just stared at Pan Zhou and asked, "Mr. Pan, forgive me for being presumptuous, but have you done something treacherous recently?"

Pan Zhou was startled and shook his head repeatedly, "I have read the books of the sages, how could I have done anything treacherous?"

Daoist Zhang counted on his fingers and then asked, "Pan Gongzi, think back, on the eighth day of the fifth month, have you ever done anything to contradict the spirits?"

Pan Zhou tilted his head to think hard, suddenly a thigh laugh: "Ha ha, I remember, did do a thing to offend the gods ......"

On that day, Pan Zhou and a group of friends went to the countryside to drink wine and poetry, and returned to the city in the evening drunk. When he came to the Jade Emperor Temple, Pan Zhou felt bloated and peed next to the temple door. At that time, a friend joked that Pan Gongzi was disrespectful to the Jade Emperor and would be condemned by heaven ......

Zhang Daoist heard and stomped his feet, saying that the black bad luck on Pan Zhou's face, precisely because the urine offended the Jade Emperor, this bubble of urine to his future completely ruined! Pan Dingcheng scared as pale as dirt, busy to Zhang Daoist to ask for advice on the remedy. Daoist Zhang told Pan Zhou to immediately go to the Jade Emperor Temple to make amends, as whether the Jade Emperor will forgive, depends on fate.

Pan Zhou did not believe in ghosts and gods and laughed at Taoist Zhang and his father for worrying about the sky. He did not go to the Jade Emperor Temple to make amends, and the next morning he packed his bag and went to the capital to catch up with the examination with great vigor.

Looking at the distant back of Pan, Zhang Daoist looked up to the sky and sighed: "Hey, this trip, will be an empty basket!"

Pan is a famous Jiangnan talent, he entered the capital of the news spread, and every day there are catching up with the examinations students visit. Pan-likes to make friends, this is now busy and happy. Among the many students, the Pan condition is the best Xu Guangda from Cangzhou.

Xu Guangda is also gifted and known as the first talented man in the north. There are rumors among the public that in this year's exams, the first prize will be produced in Pan Xu two. The two great talents met together, naturally sympathetic to each other. Pan Zhou and Xu Guangda today you invite me, tomorrow I invite you, almost all the famous restaurants in Beijing ate.

The day before the examination, Xu Guangda bought a jar of aged wine and invited Pan to a banquet in Kwai Heung Court. Because of tomorrow's exam, Pan Cian did not dare to greedy a cup, ate a half heartily, and get up to say goodbye. However, just after returning to the inn, Pan Cuo vomited and had diarrhea, tossing and turning until dawn still did not stop.

After entering the examination room, Pan can not even hold the pen, the test questions naturally did not do well, when the list fell behind, while Xu Guangda high school students. Pancarefully recalled, that the more you think about it, the more you think there is something wrong with that banquet in Kwai Heung Court, he suspected that Xu Guangda had put laxatives in the wine he drank. Xu Guangda did so for only one purpose, to exclude the biggest rival, to win the first prize laurels. But the above conjecture without evidence, Pan can neither sue the official, but also can not to Xu Guangda.

In desperation, Pan Zhou had to return to Fuzhou in silence. After listening to the story of his encounter in Beijing, Pan Dingcheng complained to his son, "If you had gone to the Jade Emperor Temple to make amends before the exam, you wouldn't be in this situation today!

Pan Zhou still didn't think so, and said, "My son was assassinated by someone, not the Jade Emperor."

Next, Pan continued to study hard, ready to enter the capital again in three years to catch the exam. Time is running out, and the examination period of the examination is approaching. This time, Pan Zhou made up his mind and closed his door after arriving in Beijing, waiting for the examination to start. Pan Dingcheng was afraid that there might be a mistake again, so he asked his butler Sun Gui to escort Pan into Beijing. This Sun Gui is old and serious, and he is particularly cautious.

Before leaving, Pan Dingcheng repeatedly told his son, "When you arrive at the capital, listen to Sun Gui's arrangements, don't make friends with strangers, and don't eat things from unknown sources."

Pan Zhou nodded vigorously and took his father's words to heart. On the way to Beijing, Sun Gui and Pan Zhou were careful everywhere, and they were on high alert whenever there was a breeze. On this day, Sun Gui got the wrong direction and led Pan Zhou into a remote mountainous area by mistake. Seeing that it was getting dark, and could not find an inn, the master and servant had to rest in a dilapidated mountain temple. During the night, Sun Gui let Pan Zhou sleep peacefully, himself with a machete, sitting at the entrance of the temple all night to guard
