Guan Bai is the greatest pride of Tiandaoyuan these years, and he has a similar status to Lord Qiu Shan in Lishan Sword Sect, so he is called the big name Guan Bai.
This young master with a great talent for cultivation had suffered a heavy blow a few years ago, and an arm was cut off by Wu Wubi.
Just when many people thought that he was about to sink, no one would have thought that he would climb out of the abyss of despair, practice hard to restore his realm strength, and in addition to the past few years in the north with the strong demons. After arduous fighting, his kendo practice continued to improve, and he directly broke through the threshold of Gathering Stars, and his position on the Xiaoyao List is almost close to Liang Wangsun and Xiaode, who are at the top.
If Chen Changsheng chooses Guan Bai as the Archbishop of the Yinghua Palace, he will receive the widest support in terms of virtue and achievements, as well as the background and legendary experience of Tiandaoyuan. Even if someone wants to question him, it will be difficult to say so directly.
"Unexpected choices are often good choices."
Tang Thirty-Six frowned slightly and said: "The only problem is that his qualifications are still too low, and... he is Zhuang Zhihuan's student. It always feels strange to let a student manage the teacher, and I think Guan Bai himself is very difficult." accept."
Chen Changsheng said: "He should come back for this big court test, and I will try to persuade him when the time comes."
Back then at the Hanshan Boiling Stone Conference, Guan Bai fought against him. Chen Changsheng was seriously injured and returned to Beijing, which indirectly triggered the subsequent earth-shattering events. three years.
During these three years, Chen Changsheng was also in the snowy mountains in the north, but he never met Guan Bai face to face.
The room suddenly became quiet.
Because of the place name Yongxueguan and the Xiaoyao Bang that Guan Bai thought of, it reminded Chen Changsheng and Tang Sanshiliu of a person.
Xiao Zhang was chased all over the world by the Da Zhou army and the master assassins of Tianji Pavilion, and was finally forced to go north. It is said that a bloody battle took place between the two sides at Yongxue Pass, and then he disappeared into the snow field. No one knows whether he is still alive, and if he is still alive, what he will be doing.
Thinking of the iron chain on the canyon, the domineering figure descending from the sky, the white paper whistling by the river wind, the fragrance of tea all over the city and those tea merchants who gave up their lives, Chen Changsheng and Tang Thirty-Six was silent for a long time.
"Let's talk about something serious."
Tang Thirty-Six didn't like this oppressive atmosphere, and said, "When will you give me the questions?"
Chen Changsheng was at a loss, not understanding what he meant by this sentence.
Tang Thirty-Six glanced outside the hall, and said in a low voice, "There is no literary test, it's the military test."
Chen Changsheng was stunned before he understood, opened his eyes wide and said, "You want me to vent the question?"
Looking at his clear and bright eyes without impurities, Tang Thirty-Six felt a little ashamed, and then became inexplicably annoyed.
"Don't forget that you are also the dean of the Orthodox Academy! What's wrong with seeking some benefits for the students? Back then, if Priest Xin hadn't come here to give us the questions, you would have thought of borrowing a crane from Xu Yourong to cross the Qu River with your rigid brain. ?”
If it was any other time, Chen Changsheng might have looked at him and asked seriously: Is this just getting angry from embarrassment? But today he didn't speak, because he heard the name of priest Xin in this sentence, which reminded him of the county seat full of tea fragrance.
Chen Changsheng walked to the window, looked out of the hall, and remained silent.
Priest Xin is dead, Archbishop Merisa is dead long ago, and the Pope's uncle is also dead.
This Li Palace belongs to him now, but this Li Palace is strange to him, because the people he used to be familiar with are gone.
The current Li Palace is a bit deserted, but the will is more unified, but this still cannot confront the Great Zhou court head-on.
The most critical problem is that his master Shang Xingzhou's reputation in the state religion is too high.
If it really came to the day of the war, not to mention defection, but at least one-third of the priests in the Li Palace would choose to remain silent or retreat.
Spring is coming, and the green vines on the stone wall of Li Palace gradually reveal their green and attractive appearance.
Looking at those stone walls and thinking about the scene before entering the Orthodox Academy, Chen Changsheng felt a little emotional.
In a sense, from the moment he was born to the moment he entered the Orthodox Academy, his whole life was arranged by Shang Xingzhou.
His emotions towards Shang Xingzhou were complicated.
I believe that Shang Xingzhou treats him the same way.
He originally thought that what happened in Baidi City might be a turning point.
Since he acquiesced in returning to the capital, no matter whether it is war or peace between master and apprentice, there must be an explanation.
But who would have thought that Shang Xingzhou went to Luoyang...
Don't you even want to see me
A cry of geese woke Chen Changsheng from his contemplation.
On the green vines and the blue sky, there are a few bright red shadows.
That is Red Goose Biography.
"What happened?"
Tang Thirty-Six walked up to him, looking at the red geese that had landed in different parts of the capital, he suddenly felt a little uneasy.
Not long after, Hu Thirty-two came over and said, "The people who participated in the imperial examination have arrived."
Hearing this, Tang Thirty-Six's uneasiness did not dissipate, but increased.
The Great Imperial Examination is certainly a grand event, but why did Li Gong and the imperial court use red geese as an emergency summons at the same time.
"Who is it?"
"The information I have received here is not complete."
Hu Thirty-Six glanced at Chen Changsheng, and continued, "Many people should have arrived."
Not long after, the King of Ling Hai hurried over from outside Li Palace and said, "We're all here."
As cold and arrogant as him, his voice trembled slightly when he said these three words.
Of course not fear, but excitement.
…
…
The students who took part in the imperial examination rushed to Kyoto from all over the mainland, and many of them came from the south.
There are many sects of practice in the south, the family background is profound, and the strong masters emerge in endlessly. Over the years, with the emergence of Lishan Sword Sect and Huaiyuan, the training of the younger generation of practitioners has far surpassed those of the Ivy Academy. represented by the northern forces. But what shocked Kyoto this year was not the pressure brought by the students from the south, but because they had too many accompanying teachers, and their names were too famous!
Only two disciples of Lishan Sword Sect participated in the Great Court Examination, but there were more than ten people accompanying them. This is in sharp contrast to the casual scene when Gou Hanshi and others took part in the Great Court Examination on their own, not to mention that among the dozen or so people were famous young swordsman geniuses such as Gou Hanshi, Guan Feibai, Liang Banhu, and Bai Cai. As for the rest of the people, it was even more frightening, they were all the elders of the Sword Hall who were in the Star Gathering Realm!
Only one disciple of Nanxizhai took part in the imperial examination, but all the disciples from Shengnvfeng came.
Hundreds of girls fluttered in white dresses, and the people of Kyoto were dumbfounded.
There is also the head of Cijian Temple, the new suzerain of the Lie Sun Sect, and more than 30 masters from the southern sect have successively entered Beijing.
The old lady of Mu Zhe's family, the head of Wu's family, came to Beijing again after the change of Tianshu Mausoleum three years ago.
Somewhere in the mountains outside Beijing, someone even saw the Qiushan family's carriage.
What the King of Ling Hai said was very accurate.
The southern powerhouses that the world can think of, except for the head of the Lishan Sword Sect and those elders who have lived in seclusion for many years, have all arrived.
No one knew that two Taoist nuns who could not tell their age quietly entered the capital and lived in the old mansion of King Louyang.
But people know that Wang Po has arrived with a knife.
Because a crack suddenly appeared on Luoshui.
The green trees outside the palace turned yellow overnight, as if they had turned into ginkgo trees.
