As Qin Hao watched the ten Cui Lian, Cui Lian, posing seductively towards him, slowly approaching, his stomach churned.
Imagine what it would be like if 10 burly middle-aged women acted all seductive in front of you.
If that kind of allure were on a pretty young woman, it would just be considered seductive.
But on a burly middle-aged woman, that's not charming at all; it's downright jarring!
Qin Hao could no longer bear it and directly used Time Stop.
And so, of course, Qin Hao didn't kill them, because he knew that the village would soon be plundered by bandits.
Qin Hao then arrived above the village and set up a maze.
This illusionary array is very simple; once cast, outsiders cannot see the entire village.
Qin Hao's plan was precisely to ensure that the robbers could only see the village chief's yard, while remaining unable to see the other ordinary houses.
And so, Qin Hao left the village.
"Sigh, it seems that if you want to keep a low profile, you can't go to a village. It's best to go somewhere full of powerful and wealthy people. That way, you'll be fine keeping a low profile."
Thinking it over, Qin Hao first concealed his Heavenly Human Physique, making him less handsome than before and no different from an ordinary handsome guy.
One glance was all it took to pinpoint a place, a city, called Chang'an City.
That's right, it's called Chang'an City.
The current name of the country is "Great Tang"!
Qin Hao already knew this while he was in the forest.
With a thought, Qin Hao instantly appeared outside the Chang'an City.
After glancing around, Qin Hao followed a young scholar into the city.
"Brother, are you also traveling alone to the Capital to take the imperial examination?"
After the young scholar entered the city, he asked Qin Hao a question.
Upon hearing this, Qin Hao's eyes darted around as he pondered the situation.
It just so happens that the Great Tang is holding its imperial examinations. Why don't I use some tricks to take the exam and see if I can get a minor official position, and then go and take charge of a poor and remote place? That kind of life should be pretty good.
Moreover, this is ancient times. If you could transform the small county town you take over into a modern city, that would be an achievement, wouldn't it?
Since I can't grasp anything from the Origin things in a short time anyway, I might as well start with some aspects of everyday life!
Thinking it over, Qin Hao quickly replied, "That's right, my name is Qin Hao, and I'm also here to participate in the Imperial Examination."
"Excellent! I am Li Bai. Brother, why don't we travel together? It would be good to have company."
Holy crap, Li Bai, the Poet Immortal Li Bai?
Qin Hao was shocked. He had been thinking of using some of Li Bai's poems during the exam, but he never expected to run into Li Bai himself.
"Ahem, Brother Li, I've long heard of your great name, and seeing you today, I can confirm your extraordinary abilities!"
"Haha, you flatter me, brother!"
While the two were chatting happily, the Wang Family Village had already been robbed by bandits.
As for the village chief, without a doubt, his entire family was killed by the bandits.
Believe it or not, the village chief's family was very wealthy. After robbing the village chief's house, the bandits left.
As for the villagers, they all saw that the village chief's house was looted by bandits and then burned down.
But what's amazing is that no one from this gang of robbers bothered to rob them; even when they passed by their door, it was as if they didn't see them.
Apart from the villagers who fled, who were discovered and killed because they were outside Qin Hao's barrier.
Widow Zhang: "That's strange, why are all the bandits robbing the village chief's house?"
Granny Liu then said, "Do you think it might be because of Qin Hao? That handsome young man, because the village chief invited him as a guest today!"
Wang Laowu said, "Hmph! I bet it's that Qin Hao. He looks handsome and dignified, but he's actually in cahoots with the bandits. He probably went to the village chief's house because he's eyeing the village chief's treasure."
Widow Zhang then said, "Hey, you know what, the village chief's family is incredibly wealthy, and they have ten very beautiful daughters. They've already arranged marriages ten times already!"
Upon hearing this, Granny Liu said, "Maybe not. These robbers might be after the village chief's money and his good looks."
Wang Laowu said, "Hmph, serves him right! That village elder is dishonest and stingy; who knows how much silver he's embezzled from us behind our backs!"
At this moment, in a restaurant in Chang'an City.
"Alas, Brother Qin, I am full of talent, but it's a pity I can't participate in the Imperial Examinations!"
Li Bai took a big gulp of wine and sighed.
Qin Hao looked at the drunken Li Bai, completely bewildered, thinking, "Didn't you come here to participate in the Imperial Examination? Why are you saying you can't participate now?"
In fact, Li Bai had already written several poems before, but Qin Hao didn't dare to use them, since he knew Li Bai's poems the most by heart.
That's why Li Bai got drunk while drinking and simply blurted out his true thoughts.
"Brother Qin, what do you think of the beautiful scenery of Chang'an City?"
Qin Hao hadn't expected Li Bai to write another poem, which gave him a real headache.
You said if it were someone else, they could just use the Three Hundred Tang Poems.
But this is Li Bai.
"Ahem, Brother Li, I am rather incompetent and unlearned, so I won't do it. You should do it, brother!"
"No, Brother Qin, you're clearly a man of great talent, yet you're being modest with me!"
Having no other choice, Qin Hao thought for a moment and actually came up with a poem that perfectly captured his current predicament.
However, this poem is by Li Bai.
Oh well, whatever. This is probably just a virtual world anyway, so what am I afraid of?
Thinking it over, Qin Hao said:
Longing for you, in Chang'an.
The cricket chirps by the golden well railing in autumn; a light frost chills the mat.
A solitary lamp flickers dimly, my thoughts are filled with despair; I roll up the curtain, gaze at the moon, and sigh endlessly.
A beauty as lovely as a flower, seemingly beyond the clouds!
Above, the vast blue sky stretches out; below, the rippling green waters flow.
The journey is long and the soul flies in anguish; even in dreams, the journey is difficult to reach the distant mountains and passes.
Longing for you, my heart is breaking!
After Qin Hao finished speaking, he raised a glass of wine and drank it down.
Upon seeing this, Li Bai was greatly surprised, thinking to himself, "Isn't this the poem line I wanted to write? How come this Brother Qin has already said it out loud when I just came up with it?"
Qin Hao's eyes darted away. He knew that this poem was written by Li Bai after his first visit to Chang'an.
Moreover, I met Li Bai today and we had a very pleasant conversation, so I learned that this was also Li Bai's first time visiting Chang'an.
Therefore, it was concluded that Li Bai had not yet written this poem, which is why they dared to pass it off as their own.
Ahem, Brother Li, I'm sorry, but it was your insistence that I write a poem!
Anyway, it's Virtual World, so what's there to be afraid of?
Thinking it over, Qin Hao finally dared to look at Li Bai.
To everyone's surprise, Li Bai looked completely shocked.
"Brother Qin, you're amazing! You've spoken exactly what I was thinking!"
"Come on, let's have a drink!"
With that, Li Bai picked up his wine cup and drank heartily with Qin Hao.
"Brother Qin, is there someone you also miss?"
Li Bai asked.
Qin Hao immediately thought of Liu Qianqian, who was still waiting for him to rescue her.
"Alas, yes, I am so far away from my beloved, and it has been such a long time since we last saw each other."
