The Huaiyuan scholar was fat and his face was sickly pale. It seemed that he seldom basked in the sun on weekdays. When he was speaking to the sect priest, he looked at Chen Changsheng and Luoluo with no expression on his face, and the corners of his slightly raised lips were full of mockery and warning.
Chen Changsheng thought that these people were thinking too much, so he shook his head and ignored it, patted the back of Luoluo's hand, and motioned her to choose the entrance. Luoluo really wanted to help him with something during the martial arts test, but now she was pointed out, she couldn't help being a little annoyed, and gave the Huaiyuan scholar a cold look. The Huaiyuan scholar remembered the identity of His Royal Highness Luoluo, and felt a little regretful, but the words had already been spoken, so there was no way he could take them back, so he put his hands behind his back, deliberately pretending to be a noble person who dared to plead for the lives of all people.
After the instructions from the Zongsi Institute finished explaining the rules, more than 20 examinees dispersed to find the entrance along the stone path at the edge of the holly shrub forest. It is also impossible to tell which entrance is better, you can only choose by feeling or luck.
Chen Changsheng never believed in feelings or destiny, so he chose the nearest entrance, while Luoluo chose the one next to him without hesitation. In this scene, the emotions became uncontrollably complicated again, giving rise to a lot of jealousy, envy and regret.
It didn't take long for the examinees to choose their respective entrances. At this time, from nowhere, dozens of priests from the Li Palace appeared, took pens and notebooks and began to record the student records and names of these candidates. Write down the time on the edge, which means the martial arts test has officially started, and the timing will start from this moment.
No examinee rushed into the cooking forest rashly—the maze designed by Wang Zhice could not be broken through by luck. The candidates stopped outside the holly bushes. Some sat on the stones by the roadside, some leaned against the tree trunks, and some simply sat on the ground. Regardless of the difference in posture, all of them closed their eyes and began to meditate. Distribute your own consciousness.
Only two people did not close their eyes.
Gou Hanshi and Tianhai Shengxue stood outside the forest, looking at Lin Hai quietly, wondering what they were thinking.
More than twenty lines of spiritual consciousness drifted towards the boiling forest, whether they were strong or weak, and there were some subtle differences in breath, but the difference between the spiritual consciousness can only be roughly appreciated by those who are above the star-gathering level. Even people like the one taught by the Zongsi can't judge by perception.
The priests of the Zongsi Office were looking at Chen Changsheng, and many of the priests who were in charge of recording were also looking at Chen Changsheng, just like the examiners in the literary examination.
Chen Changsheng, who declared that he would take the first place in the university examination, must be the focus of all eyes in today's examination room. Real hot spots like Gou Hanshi and Tianhai Shengxue didn't attract much attention, because everyone knew that these two young practitioners who had crossed the Netherworld were very strong, but no one knew about Chen Changsheng's current situation.
Everyone in the capital knew that at least ten days ago, Chen Changsheng hadn't successfully washed his marrow, so what about the strength of his spiritual consciousness? Is there a destiny star? If the destiny star is successful, why can't the marrow be washed for a long time? Does this mean that his spiritual strength is very bad
People are very curious about how far he can go in the Dazhao Examination. For example, whether he can pass the cooking time forest, at least he won't be eliminated in the martial arts test.
Chen Changsheng never thought that he would be eliminated, especially after knowing the specific procedures of this year's martial arts test.
He sat under a hanging cloud pine at the edge of the holly bushes, closed his eyes and crossed his knees, with his palms slightly hanging, his spiritual consciousness had already left his body and went deep into the forest.
The barriers formed by the green trees and the dense roads between the barriers, through the perception of the divine consciousness, become blurred images in the sea of his consciousness. All the real scenery has changed colors and lights in the perception. Ordinary people will definitely see it I find it very strange, but for practitioners, it is not too difficult to reconstruct these deconstructions into a real picture.
Especially for those practitioners with strong and stable spiritual consciousness.
Chen Changsheng's spiritual consciousness is very strong and stable, otherwise his star would not be in such a distant place, otherwise Luoluo would not have climbed over the wall from Baicao Garden to the Orthodox Academy to find him.
With his eyes closed, he used his spiritual sense to perceive the road in the Zhushi forest. It didn't take long for him to investigate the several hectares of forest sea within the entrance.
It has to be said that the design of the Great Court Examination is very exquisite. The process of perceiving the forest sea with spiritual consciousness is very similar to the process of searching for the star and sitting for self-viewing. From the perspective of the question maker, it may be inferred that the candidate At least one has to cultivate to the state of sitting, so as to have the possibility of walking out of this forest.
Chen Changsheng suddenly thought, Wang Zhice often played this game while studying, did he want to use this method to train his spiritual strength? Everyone in the mainland knows that Wang Zhice's spiritual consciousness is not strong, otherwise it would be impossible to start practicing until middle age.
His consciousness was floating in the boiling forest. At the same time, there are also many spiritual senses floating in the forest. He vaguely felt the existence of those spiritual senses, but he was unable to communicate with them. As the spiritual senses continued to penetrate into the forest, he even sensed more and more people. It turned out that many candidates were still trapped in the cooking time forest. inside.
The scholars in Huaiyuan closed their eyes and meditated, their brows were tightly furrowed, and the rest of the candidates also closed their eyes, with a bit of pain on their faces—they could only use their spiritual sense to check all the areas of Shilin, and mark the big picture in the Chaoyang Garden. Only in the heart can we start to calculate and find a feasible path - this is very difficult for these young people who have limited years of practice.
At this moment, Gou Hanshi stepped up and walked towards Lin Haili. Tianhai Shengxue also started to step up after only a moment's delay. After a while, the two of them disappeared into the new buds of early spring.
Tongyoujing is really different.
…
…
Zhaowen Hall is very quiet.
After the literary examination, the Bishop, Mo Yu, King Chen Liu, and big figures like Mao Qiuyu all came to the hall. From time to time, priests from the Li Palace came to report the situation of the martial arts examination, and the news that Gou Hanshi and Tian Haisheng had entered the forest. , did not cause any waves, as it should have been in Tongyoujing. In their view, Gou Hanshi and Tianhai Shengxue's performance was a bit too cautious.
Not long after Gou Hanshi and Tianhai Shengxue entered the forest, some candidates walked out of Zhu Shilin and completed the first half of the martial arts test.
That person is Liang Banhu, the Fifth Law of the Seven Laws of the Kingdom of God.
The dignitaries in the hall were not surprised by this. They knew the standards of the candidates for this year's imperial examination. Except for Gou Hanshi, the remaining three youths of the Lishan Sword Sect were already outstanding. Shi Lin was all normal, only Chen Liuwang asked curiously, "Where's Guan Feibai?"
Then it was not Guan Feibai who walked out of Zhu Shilin, but... Zhuang Huanyu.
This time, the atmosphere in the hall finally changed. People looked at Mao Qiuyu, and King Chen Liu congratulated him with a smile. Obviously, Zhuang Huanyu didn't slack in his practice after winning Qijian that year. In terms of the strength of his spiritual consciousness, he was demoted to the eleventh place in the Qingyun list by Tianji Pavilion, and he obviously has the strength of the top ten.
"Guan Feibai couldn't get the first place, and he couldn't even get the second place. I don't know how to be angry."
The dean of the attached courtyard of the Li Palace said slightly, people in Zhou have always had mixed feelings about the disciples of the southern sects.
The assessment in the first half of the martial arts test is not based on who gets out of Zhu Shilin first, but in order of how long it takes to pass through Zhu Shilin. At this time, people in Zhaowen Palace have obtained the time start record, knowing that Liang Banhu, Guan Feibai, Zhuang Huanyu and others set off at the same time. At this time, Zhuang Huanyu walked out of Zhushilin first, so he was naturally in front of Guan Feibai.
At this time, the chief examiner of the essay test shook his head and said, "Liang Banhu is not number one, and Zhuang Huanyu is naturally not second, and Guan Feibai can't even get into the top three."
The Dean of the Affiliated Courtyard of the Li Palace frowned slightly, and said, "Should Gou Hanshi and Mr. Tianhai be counted?"
The chief examiner of the literary test said: "Before you entered the hall, someone had already walked out of Zhu Shilin, and he took one-third less time than Liang Banhu."
Hearing these words, everyone was shocked, and they all looked at them questioningly. Only the Bishop, who was sitting in the middle, still had his eyes closed, as if he was asleep.
Someone is faster than Liang Banhu, and so much faster? How strong should his consciousness be
"Who is it?" The dean of the Li Palace Affiliated Academy asked in surprise.
"The registered name is Zhang Tingtao. Of course, everyone knows who he is."
The examiner looked at the dean of the Star Reaching Academy and joked, "Even if you use a pseudonym, this name is too common."
Inheriting the usual style of the Great Zhou army, the dean of the Academy of Reaching the Stars did not hide it, and said, "He is willing to fight on behalf of the stars, and he can be called whatever he wants."
Everyone thought it was right.
"Angry Zhexiu..." Chen Liuwang sighed, "I'm really curious about how he grew up."
The dean of the Palace Affiliated Academy said, "I'm more curious about how Chen Changsheng is doing now."
Hearing these words, everyone's eyes turned to the bishop.
The chief examiner said: "Chen Changsheng's essay test results must be excellent, but I don't know who is the first and who is the second."
Everyone thought it was a matter of course.
The Dean of the Affiliated Academy of Li Palace looked at the sleeping Bishop, and said with a slight sarcasm: "No matter how good the essay test is, if you can't even pass the cooking time, what's the point? Then you will be eliminated directly, and you won't even be able to enter the top three. What are you talking about at the top of the list? I don’t know if someone can continue to sleep so soundly by then.”
The hall of Zhaowen was quiet, no one spoke.
In Kyoto and within the state religion, the dean of the Sixth Court of the Ivy League has a very special status. Big figures like Mao Qiuyu and the dean of the Affiliated Court of the Li Palace do not need to be afraid of anyone. And everyone in the hall knew that the dean of the Li Palace Affiliated Courtyard belonged to the new sect in the state religion, and had always been close to the Tianhai family just like the bishop of the sacrificial institution.
The announcement made by the Bishop on behalf of Chen Changsheng was undoubtedly a serious provocation to him, the Affiliated Academy of the Palace, and the Academy of Heavenly Dao. Obviously, the dean of the Li Palace Affiliated Courtyard has already begun to prepare for a counterattack. As long as Chen Changsheng doesn't get the first place in the first place, the Bishop's Office and His Excellency will inevitably be greatly questioned and even directly attacked.
As I said before, if he can't even beat Zhu Shilin, why is he talking about the first place
Time passed slowly, and after an unknown amount of time, a priest walked into the hall and reported: "Chen Changsheng, National Education Academy, has started to enter the forest."
Everyone was slightly startled when they heard the words, the dean of the attached courtyard of Li Palace raised his eyebrows extremely high, as if he was about to fly, his eyes were full of surprise and doubt.
"How could he be faster than those people in Huaiyuan?!"
