The Mausoleum of Heavenly Books is in Kyoto, and Kyoto is the center of the Great Zhou, the center of the human world, and even the center of the mainland—no matter the southern forces or the monster races allied with humans, they all have to recognize the central plains dynasty of the Great Zhou. The orthodox position has made many concessions in many interest disputes.
Only those who have passed the Great Court Examination and a very small number of special existences are eligible to enter the Mausoleum of Heavenly Books for enlightenment. Therefore, the Great Court Test is the most important event in the world. Compared with the Stone Boiling Conference that is held only once every three or five years, more important. This year's Great Court Examination is still held in the Li Palace. In the early morning, before the stone pillars of the Li Palace, tens of thousands of people have gathered. There are the most vendors selling water. People in Kyoto can watch the Great Court Examination once a year. They are familiar with the rules and most of them are still at home. Most of the people gathered now are tourists from all over the mainland. In the beginning, when everyone came outside the palace, what a lively scene it should be.
The students who participated in the Great Court Examination naturally came earlier than the people who watched the excitement. In front of the stone pillars of the Li Palace, an area of more than a thousand feet in length was isolated, and all kinds of vehicles were already parked inside. In the faint morning light, teachers from various colleges gave final reminders to the students, and some students were resting with their eyes closed. .
What separates this area from the lively crowd is a very long yellow cloth. Logically speaking, this cloth cannot block the enthusiasm of the people, let alone the instinct of the vendors to grab the territory. But the strange thing is that no one, no matter the people or the street vendors, dared to take a step past Buman.
Because there are hundreds of officials and forbidden soldiers standing on the periphery of Buman with serious expressions, and because at the end of the Buman, there is a cart pulled by a black rhinoceros. Everyone on the mainland knows that there is only one car in this world pulled by a black rhinoceros. There will always be only one person sitting in that car—Master Zhou Tong of the Cleaning Department.
Students from the South were the first to arrive. All the gates of the Changshengzong came. Gou Hanshi and the other four sons of Li Shan stood at the front with calm expressions, as if today was just an ordinary day. It was calm and calm, and I don't know how many people's eyes it attracted.
Many sects under the jurisdiction of Shengnvfeng also had disciples. The little junior sister from Hujian Temple who was scolded by Tang Thirty-Six stood in the crowd, looking at the Li palace group in the morning light, her immature face It was full of tension and bewilderment. A senior sister touched her head and said something with a smile.
A girl wearing the clothes of the outer sect of Nanxi Zhai frowned slightly, as if she was under a lot of pressure. The Nanxi Zhai was divided into two sects, the inner sect and the inner sect. There was only Xu Yourong in the inner sect, but there were many people in the outer sect. She was selected by the master sect. To take part in the Great Court Examination, you will naturally have to take on certain responsibilities.
In the south of Wangchuan, there are countless sects, most of which can be classified under the two sects of Changshengzong and Shengnvfeng. These two schools belong to the southern sect, and can also be counted as the same sect. Saying something in a low voice, the uneasiness of being in a foreign land and the uneasiness of the upcoming big test have been diluted a lot.
Only a few young men in long-colored gowns stood relatively far away. These young scholars all came from the legendary Huaiyuan.
Compared with the students in the south, the various colleges in Kyoto and the young students who passed the preparatory examination for the Imperial Examination all stood on the east side of the square, a little closer to the sun, and less exposed to the cold westerly wind. There are many more people than the opposite side. Looking at the dark place, it is impossible to count how many people there are.
Zhuang Huanyu stood in front of the students of Tiandao Academy with an indifferent expression. The chattering girls of the Thirteenth Division stood out, followed by the ordinary students who had passed the preparatory exams.
A total of the top three in the Dachao Examination, the most promising ones are of course the disciples of those academies and major sects. For example, Zhuang Huanyu from Tiandao Academy, Su Moyu from the Affiliated Academy of Li Palace, two young captains from Zhaixing Academy, and a senior sister from the Thirteenth Division of Qingyu. In recent years, the southern sect has dominated the younger generation, so it has naturally attracted more attention. The four sons of the Lishan Sword Sect and the young scholars in Huaiyuan are regarded by people as taking it for granted that they can enter the top three.
People are more concerned about who can enter the top list.
Just like the history of human practice, the Great Court Examination is also divided into a big year and a small year. This year is obviously a big year, and the competition is unprecedentedly fierce. You must know that the first place in the Great Court Test last year was the third law of the Seven Laws of the Kingdom of God , but if he wants to take part in this year's imperial examination, I'm afraid he won't even be able to enter the top list.
This year, four people from the Qilu of the Kingdom of God came in one go, four people from Huaiyuan, and the most potential female disciples from the Saintess Peak. In the capital, the proud Zhuang Huanyu finally decided not to wait any longer, and even more so. A strong man like Tianhai Shengxue also decided not to wait any longer, and wanted to show his brilliance in this year's Great Court Examination. Only the young cultivators of the Yao clan didn't send anyone to participate in this year's imperial examination because His Royal Highness Luoluo was in the capital. Of course, there was no such honest and honest boy from the Orthodox Academy.
Tianhai Shengxue didn't take part in the Great Court Examination before, because he didn't have a sense of seclusion at that time, and he didn't have the confidence to defeat the legendary Qiushan Jun and get the first place in the first list.
Yes, Mr. Qiu Shan didn't take part in the Great Court Examination, so he had no interest in the Great Court Examination. The same was true for Zhuang Huanyu, and the scholars in Huaiyuan probably didn't come to the capital until this year for the same reason.
For all the proud young talents in the mainland, their goal has always been Qiu Shanjun.
It's a pity that Qiu Shanjun still didn't show up this year.
But they had no choice but to wait any longer, the Mausoleum of Heavenly Books had been waiting for them there for several years, and if they didn't enter the Mausoleum of Books to gain enlightenment, it would very likely affect their cultivation career.
Since Mr. Qiushan will not participate in this year's Great Court Examination, in the eyes of many people, there are two people who are most likely to get the first place in this year's Great Court Examination, Gou Hanshi and Tianhai Shengxue. The rate is the same, and the young scholars in Huaiyuan and Zhuang Huanyu are expected to hit the top of the list.
The recently rumored name was deliberately forgotten by people, and when talking about the prospect of the Great Imperial Examination, people rarely mentioned the name of that academy.
As if to prove that people's attitude is correct, in the list of odds issued by the major gambling houses for the Dachao Trial, that name is always ranked last, and the odds are unbelievably high, but I don't know why, last night, The odds list for the first place in the Dachao Trial fluctuated violently. The odds of that name continued to drop, and finally ranked fourth.
This year's Great Court Examination gathered strong players, which can be said to be the most competitive one in ten years, and there are countless things to talk about, such as that college and that person, but there are still some regrets. The much-anticipated Qiu Shanjun and Xu Yourong still did not come to participate. Everyone knows that they are absolutely qualified to make an exception and enter the Mausoleum of Heavenly Books to enlighten Tao at will, but if they also come to participate, this year will be too shocking.
No one knew why Qiu Shanjun didn't take part in this year's imperial examination, even Gou Hanshi, his closest juniors, didn't know.
Logically speaking, with his level of strength, he should have participated in the previous few imperial examinations. In the past, people always thought that he was waiting to enter the Mausoleum of the Book of Heaven with his junior sister Xu Yourong to gain enlightenment. People thought that Xu Yourong would participate in this year's imperial examination, but they didn't expect to come, so Lord Qiu Shan didn't come either
Why didn't Xu Yourong come? Because of the marriage proposal at the Ivy Banquet, or because of the marriage contract her grandfather made for her
At this moment, a carriage passed through the yellow cloth and came to the venue.
There were voices of discussion among the crowd in front of the palace, and some people recognized the identities of those who got off the car.
The boy who walked at the end was Chen Changsheng, who had recently made the capital uneasy
That young man looks so ordinary, but he is actually Xu Yourong's fiancé
It's this young man who wants to win the first place in the imperial examination
…
…
Countless eyes fell on Chen Changsheng.
As if he didn't notice it, he followed the procedures that Reverend Xin told him in advance, took the roster and related documents to sign up, and then stood at the seat assigned to the Orthodox Academy.
The affairs of the Great Court Examination are all handled by the Jiaoshu Office, and the position is naturally arranged by the Jiaoshu Office.
The position of the Orthodox Academy... is at the forefront.
It is even more advanced than Tiandaoyuan.
Facing the rising sun, it is extremely conspicuous.
Whether it's the people watching the excitement or the young people in the south, you can easily see them.
Much attention, very convenient.
There was a moment of silence in the arena, and everyone looked at the three teenagers from the Orthodox Academy.
Then... There was a coaxing sound, and countless discussions arose.
I heard that the boy didn't even succeed in washing his marrow, so he actually wanted to take the first place in the list? Is this a joke? That young man is the only grandson of the Tang family in Wenshui? How much did Mrs. Tang spend on him? Who is that savage guy? Only thirteen years old? It turned out to be a rammer from the monster clan.
The position of the Orthodox Academy was arranged at the front, and the students who were most annoyed were naturally the students of the Tiandao Academy. Since the National Education Academy was ruined more than ten years ago, the Tiandao Academy has been the undoubted leader of the Ivy Academy. Who would have thought The previous year's position was actually taken away by the Orthodox Academy this year. Zhuang Huanyu didn't say anything, but a student from Tiandao Academy reprimanded, "You're late today?"
Tang Thirty-Six deliberately tidied up his clothes today, with a fluttering blue shirt, a jade belt tied around his waist, and a paper fan in his hand.
He ignored his former classmate and shook the paper fan lightly. Just as he was feeling cool, he suddenly heard a hiccup coming from beside him.
He turned around annoyed, covered his nose with a fan, looked at Xuanyuan Po and said, "I told you not to eat so much, but you didn't listen, what good is leftover venison?"
Xuanyuan Po rubbed his chest, and said with some embarrassment: "I heard that the imperial examination sometimes takes three days and three nights, and there is no food to eat. It's terrible. Besides, although it's been cold recently, the venison has already After two days, don’t let it go bad after another three days? It’s not good to waste things.”
Listening to this conversation, the faces of the students nearby became extremely exciting.
The imperial examination is just around the corner, and these two guys from the Orthodox Academy are still in the mood to discuss these issues
Chen Changsheng was not in the mood to discuss these things.
At this moment, being watched by countless people, he felt a little lonely.
He wants to go back to Xining Town.
He is particularly sensitive to eyes at this time.
He found that someone was not looking at him.
It was a teenager.
That boy was standing in the line of the Academy of Reaching the Stars, but he didn't wear the uniform of the Academy of Reaching the Stars, which looked like a military uniform.
The weather was so cold, but the boy only wore a single shirt, and even rolled up his sleeves, exposing his forearms to the cold wind.
At this time, everyone in front of the palace was looking at Chen Changsheng, but the young man was looking at the rising sun in the distance that was about to jump over the horizon.
In the sea of people, the boy looked very lonely.
Chen Changsheng suddenly felt that the boy was of the same type as himself.
