That young man was a little thin, but definitely not thin. Under the thin clothes, there seemed to be a lot of strength hidden.
He squinted his eyes, looking at the rising sun in the east, a little yearning, but also a little afraid, not daring to approach it, so he was a little deliberately indifferent, just like Chen Changsheng's attitude towards the prosperous world.
The rising sun gradually rises, breaks through the thin clouds in the sky, and finally appears in front of everyone's eyes.
Everyone was still looking at Chen Changsheng, talking about it—I heard that he failed to wash his marrow, so why did he get the first place in the university examination
Gou Hanshi raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling that Chen Changsheng today was a bit different than when he met him on the Shinto that day, and he couldn't see what had changed.
Naturally, Mao Qiuyu would not line up like ordinary teachers and students. Sitting on the viewing platform in the Li Palace, he looked at Chen Changsheng in the distance and thought to himself that the marrow washing was successful, but why did he feel a little strange
Chen Changsheng was about to ask Tang Thirty-Six if he knew the lonely boy in the team of the Academy of Reaching the Stars, when Priest Xin had already walked over.
"We must win." Clergyman Xin patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly.
Chen Changsheng didn't understand. A few days ago, Priest Xin went to the Orthodox Academy several times, but he didn't say such a thing. He just wanted to relieve the pressure for him. Why did he say that when today's big test was ahead
"I bought all my wealth and you win." Priest Xin looked at him and said, "If you don't get the top spot today, remember to go to Luoshui to collect my body tomorrow."
Under the current situation, if Chen Changsheng fails to win the top spot, it will not be the Orthodox Academy that will be most affected, but the Jiaoshu Office behind the Orthodox Academy. If the Jiaoshu Office can't hold on, then Priest Xin will naturally have no future. In other words, since this is the case, it is very reasonable for him to use all his family property to buy Chen Changsheng to win.
Chen Changsheng didn't know what to say, Tang Thirty-Six said, "No wonder the odds changed so much last night."
In terms of money activities, the Wenshui Tang family has always been unwilling to be left behind. Although they say they don't care about the small money in the Dachao Trial Gambling Game, they still keep a close eye on it.
Missionary Xin said: "If it's just my net worth, how can it affect the odds of the market?"
They looked at the viewing platform in the Li Palace, and at the biggest backer of the Orthodox Academy.
There, the bishop, Mei Lisha, squinted his eyes slightly, and couldn't tell whether he was asleep or awake. No one knew how much money he had bet on Chen Changsheng.
Also, no one knew how much money Mo Yu, who was sitting next to him, bet on Chen Changsheng.
Yes, Miss Mo Yu thought that Chen Changsheng could win the first place. Although there was no reason for it, she felt that he could do it for no reason.

The Great Court Examination is divided into three rounds: the literary examination, the military examination, and the battle. There is no order, and it is decided on an ad hoc basis every year. This year's Great Court Examination is the first to be held for the literary examination. After the rules came out five days ago, many people thought that this was the care of the Orthodox Academy, and more precisely, Chen Changsheng.
The essay test will be held in Zhaowen Hall of the Li Palace. There is still some time before the start. Priest Xin lowered his voice and seized the time to introduce the opponents who competed with them today to the three teenagers from the Orthodox Academy. Send it to the Orthodox Academy, but only then can you match the person with the name.
Listening to the introduction, Tang Thirty-Six's expression became more and more serious, while Chen Changsheng was still so silent. There are too many powerful enemies participating in the Great Court Examination this year, and some masters signed up with other identities, or are hiding In certain sects, these people are now targeting the Orthodox Academy and Chen Changsheng, and the pressure they are under can be imagined.
At this moment, there was a faint commotion in the crowd. Many people stood on tiptoes and looked into the distance. Chen Changsheng and the others turned their heads and saw a chariot walking slowly along the straight divine path from the depths of the palace. The rest of the maids followed silently beside the chariot, and Li Nushi walked at the front of the chariot.
Under the gazes of countless people, the chariot passed the stone pillars to the field and stopped at the position of the Orthodox Academy.
Luoluo got off the chariot, and bowed respectfully to Chen Changsheng: "I have met you, sir."
The crowd was in an uproar, and the students who were about to take part in the imperial examination were even more commotion, especially those who had only recently come to the capital and had only heard of the rumor. Really worship that young man named Chen Changsheng as his teacher!
Since the young man is His Highness's teacher, he must have real talents and real learning. Many people think so, but he wants to win the first place? Still not possible.
The young scholars in Huaiyuan looked in the direction of the Orthodox Academy with indifferent expressions.
Zhuang Huanyu stared forward, as if not aware of it, but his sleeves were trembling slightly.
Gou Hanshi and others on the opposite side of the Orthodox Academy saluted Luoluo.
Chen Changsheng reminded Luoluo, Luoluo turned around, nodded slightly towards the other side, which was regarded as a return of the salute.
"You came here to cheer for us? Does the Pope agree?" Chen Changsheng looked at her and asked concerned.
"Sir, I am a student of the Orthodox Academy, so of course I have to represent the Orthodox Academy in the imperial examination."
Luoluo thought for a while and added, "The Pope has already agreed."
When the two were talking, they didn't deliberately lower the volume of their voices. Luoluo's innocent voice floated in the square in front of the palace and reached everyone's ears.
There was an uproar!
Zhuang Huanyu couldn't bear it anymore and turned around to look.
Those young scholars in Huaiyuan frowned slightly, as if they were a little displeased.
People who were preparing to take part in the Great Court Examination were all shocked by this news, and they were not willing to accept it.
Only Gou Hanshi and the other Li Shan's four sons were as calm as before, without any change.
Many people were confused or dissatisfied, but the first one who dared to raise objections was the most polite and dull Su Moyu from the Affiliated Court of Li Palace: "If Your Highness wants to participate, how can this be compared?"
The bishop opened his eyes, tightened his divine robe in the cold wind, and said calmly: "Your Highness only participates, not counting rankings."
Everyone was stunned when they heard the words, and only then did they realize that if His Highness Luoluo insisted on taking part in the imperial examination as a student of the Orthodox Academy, they, as well as their colleges and sects, would have no reason to stop them. Occupying the top three places, what else can you say
There was nothing to say, time continued to pass, and with a crisp bell ringing from the depths of Li Palace, the Great Court Examination officially began.
Hundreds of young men and women stood in front of Zhaowen Hall, the morning breeze blowing their clothes, and the morning sun shining on their youthful faces.
The elders of various colleges and sects have left, and only they are left. The word tension can be clearly seen on the faces of many people.
In terms of the National Education Academy, only Xuanyuan Po was very nervous. He had already exposed his shortcomings when he participated in the admission assessment of the Academy of Reaching the Stars. Although Chen Changsheng took him to read a lot of books in the National Education Academy in the past few months , but thinking that he would soon face those densely packed ink characters, he felt a little short of breath.
"Time is the most important thing. Answer if you can. If you can't answer, don't think about it. Just pass it." Tang Thirty-six said to him: "The three exams are consecutive. Well, if you can't pass the martial arts test, you won't be able to enter the battlefield, and you won't get any results in the end."
Xuanyuan Po nodded, thinking that this was the only way to do it. Chen Changsheng knew that Tang Thirty-Six was also reminding himself not to waste too much time on the literary test—whether he could pass the military test was the most worrying thing. As for the results of the literary test, no one would worry. The eyes of the predecessors knew it.
Many people were still looking at Chen Changsheng at this time, but unlike before or before, there was no doubt or even ridicule in their eyes, only faint jealousy or complicated admiration.
After the Ivy Banquet and the battle between the National Education Academy and the Lishan Sword Sect, as well as the Tianji Pavilion's comments when the Qingyun Ranking was changed, no one questioned Chen Changsheng's ability in terms of knowledge. People were shocked to find that after Gou Hanshi Finally, a monster who read Daozang thoroughly appeared again in the younger generation.
No one believed that Chen Changsheng would be able to win the first place in the first place, but everyone admitted that he was definitely capable of challenging Gou Hanshi in the essay test and getting the best reputation. The individual odds also prove this point, his odds are now ranked second only after Gou Hanshi.
The second bell rang and candidates entered.
The Hall of Zhaowen is huge, with dozens of doors opened at the same time. Under the hawk-like eyes of the priests of the Orthodox Church and officials of the Qing Dynasty, hundreds of young people filed in. It is not known who will turn into a dragon and who will swim into the palace later. The fishing basket of the Zhou Dynasty, and who would be miserably taken away from the water by falcons.
The silent array was opened, and the wind shelter corridor built in Zhaowen Hall was closed. Only Qingguang could enter the hall, neither wind, rain nor noisy noise.
The ground in the hall is very wide, with hundreds of tables, it is still not crowded, it is very clear, and the distance between each table is extremely far, even if the eyesight is good after washing the marrow, it is difficult to quietly peep at the table answer, not to mention that there are at least 20 priests above the Netherworld Realm who are constantly patrolling the arena.
The priest distributed the test papers, and the examinees began to flip through them. There was a sound of rushing papers, and they gathered in one place, like a heavy rain falling.
Some people did not read the question papers, but began to meditate, such as Tianhai Shengxue.
Some people are in a daze of boredom, such as Luoluo. Anyway, her grades don't count, so she is too lazy to do those questions. After a while, a priest walked up to her desk, saluted respectfully, whispered a few words, and then She got up and left with the priest, probably going to the side hall to rest.
Some people closed their eyes and began to rest their minds, such as the young man in white that Chen Changsheng had been secretly paying attention to.
Some people want to do what to do. If you want to turn over the paper and look at it, you can look at it. If you want to grind ink, you can grind ink. Then he stretched out his hand to ask for tea, and rubbed his eyes when he felt a little sleepy, as if today was just an ordinary day, such as Chen Changsheng and Gou Hanshi.
The real peace is not deliberately calm, which represents self-confidence.
The third bell rang and candidates began to write.
Chen Changsheng picked up his pen, but before finishing the scroll, he looked at the ink characters on the scroll and was silent for a while.
It took him ten months to go from the old temple in Xining to the bustling Kyoto, from an unknown young Taoist priest to the spotlight.
He put pen to paper and started scrolling.
Not far away, Gou Hanshi also started answering questions.
