The Xichen Building was quiet, no matter whether it was downstairs or upstairs.
No one knew how to evaluate such a battle. It was not until a long time later that Bishop Merisa sighed and said three words: "It's amazing."
These three words refer to Chen Changsheng, and they also refer to Gou Hanshi—Chen Changsheng's greatness lies in his ability to behave so calmly and even dullly when facing the great fear between life and death, so it's scary; Gou Hanshi's greatness lies in his When facing the most important moment in his practice career, he can calm down and use his reason to convert the enthusiasm of young people into another kind of power, the power to give up.
The last match of this year's Great Court Examination ended in this way, and it ended with Gou Hanshi's withdrawal. The Great Court Examination has decided the first place, but the mood of the big men is still complicated, complicated and unspeakable.
The drizzle gradually stopped, and there were a few wisps of cloud left in the sky in the academy. The sky was getting brighter, coming in through the windows, and falling on people's faces. I don't know what she was thinking, Xu Shiji had no expression on his face, many people knew what he was thinking, and the two archbishops were expressionless because they didn't know what to think.
Gou Hanshi walked out of the Xichen Building and stood on the stone steps, ignoring the gazes looking at him, and he didn't talk to the juniors who hurried to him, but looked at the sky above his head.
In the depths of the Li Palace in the real world, the Pope looked at the drops of water on the surface of the green leaves, shook his head, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, and wiped off those drops of water carefully.
As His Excellency Pope's hand moved slowly, the sky in the academy also changed.
Gou Hanshi watched those rain clouds being wiped away, the sky returned to azure blue, and his heart widened again. The negative emotions caused by the last count of swords in Xichenlou gradually dissipated.
Outside Xichen Building, all candidates were staring at the door on the stone steps.
They saw Gou Hanshi come out. After a while, Chen Changsheng also came out... More precisely, he was carried out on a stretcher by the priests of the Li Palace, and then the priests of the Li Palace announced the final result.
…
…
Chen Changsheng won
This boy from the Orthodox Academy really won the first place in the imperial examination
There was a dead silence outside the Xichen building, and then it exploded with a bang.
The faces of many of the candidates who remained in the room became extremely ugly, especially those students from the Zongsi Institute and the Affiliated Academy of the Li Palace who kept mocking Chen Changsheng in the Shinto a few days ago.
Ye Xiaolian, the little junior sister of the Saintess Peak, was even more shocked and didn't know what to say.
Suddenly there was a sound of wow-wah screaming by the forest bank.
Tang Thirty-Six, Luo Luo and Xuan Yuan Po ran towards the Xichen Building.
After arriving in front of the building and confirming the result of the battle, Tang Thirty-Six was quiet for a moment, and then burst out laughing. When he smiled, he leaned on his waist intentionally and looked at the candidates who had dismissed Chen Changsheng at the foot of the stone steps. His smile was extraordinarily arrogant, because he was really proud and proud.
Xuanyuan Po was also very excited, he was speechless with excitement, his face was flushed red, the green stubble seemed to pierce his skin, he raised his sand bowl-sized fist and punched Chen Changsheng on the chest in the stretcher.
Chen Changsheng was seriously injured at this time, if he punched him like this again, what would be the result
Fortunately, Xuanyuan Po's fist was blocked by a small hand—Luo Luo squatted beside the stretcher, withdrew his left hand, and looked at Chen Changsheng, who was pale and covered in blood, with worry written all over his small face.
"I promised myself, and I promised you, that I will definitely win."
Chen Changsheng held her right hand, looked at her and said, "I won."
When he said this, the corners of his lips parted, and he smiled silly.
Tang Thirty-Six turned around and looked at him, worriedly said: "Is it because I was beaten stupid?"
At this moment, Guan Feibai's voice suddenly sounded in front of Xichenlou: "What's going on?"
His voice was cold and angry.
It was impossible for him to accept that the second senior brother would lose to Chen Changsheng.
They had already seen many visions outside the Xichen Tower before, but no matter what, he couldn't find a reason why his senior brother lost to Chen Changsheng... What's more, now that Gou Hanshi was not seriously injured, he was still able to stand still On the stone steps, Chen Changsheng was lying on a stretcher covered in blood!
In this situation, how could it be that Chen Changsheng won
The stone scale outside the building instantly became extremely quiet.
Countless eyes fell on Gou Hanshi and Chen Changsheng.
There are many people who think like Guan Feibai. Unless Gou Hanshi admits that he has lost, or someone can give a reason to convince everyone, otherwise everyone will suspect that there is something shady about this battle.
Gou Hanshi raised his right hand, signaling his juniors not to say anything more.
With Luoluo's support, Chen Changsheng sat up, looked at him and said earnestly, "Thank you."
Gou Hanshi was silent for a long time, and replayed the previous battle in the building from beginning to end in his mind, and there was really nothing missing, before he said: "You should win, why thank you?"
Chen Changsheng said: "I'm not as good as you, I just took advantage."
Gou Hanshi understood what he meant, shook his head and said, "In battle, all aspects are considered. Even if you are inferior to me in ninety-nine out of a hundred points, as long as you beat me in one point, you still win."
It was quiet outside Xichen Building, Guan Feibai, Qijian, and Liang Banhu were puzzled, they didn't understand what this was saying, why they won't win in ninety-nine places, and only one victory is enough.
"Because that's the most important one."
Gou Hanshi looked at Chen Changsheng and said, and at the same time explained to the three juniors: "It's like a wooden barrel, the most important thing is always the shortest piece of wood, if I'm not as good as you there, I'm not as good as you in everything."
What is the most important place? Only Gou Hanshi himself and Chen Changsheng knew that it was the concept of life and death. After hearing this, Chen Changsheng was silent for a moment and said, "I still have to say sorry."
Gou Hanshi smiled, didn't answer, looked at Guan Feibai and said, "I'm... a bit hungry."
Guan Feibai still didn't understand what happened in this decisive battle, but since his brother had already conceded defeat, naturally he would not pester him anymore with his proud personality, but he was a little worried about his current mood, so he asked in a soft and calm voice as much as possible. : "Brother, what do you want to eat?"
Gou Hanshi thought for a while, and said, "Let's have porridge."
Liang Banhu said: "It should be getting dark outside, so I don't know if I can find it."
Qijian said softly: "If it's left over during the day, I'm worried about getting cold."
Gou Hanshi said: "Cold porridge is better."
In a few very ordinary conversations, the four sons of the Lishan Sword Sect accepted the results of the great imperial examination and walked out of the academy. They are powerful and proud young people, that's why they are so proud.
The seven laws of the Kingdom of God are the seven laws of the Kingdom of God.
"Let's go too." Luoluo said.
Tang Thirty-Six and Xuanyuan Po took the stretcher from the Li Gong priest.
At this moment, Mo Yu came out from the Xichen building, went to the Orthodox Academy, saluted Luoluo first, then looked at Chen Changsheng, and said, "Congratulations."
Chen Changsheng said, "Thank you."
Mo Yu raised her eyebrows slightly, and said with deep meaning, "I just hope this will really be a happy event."
At this time, the examinees outside the building already knew the identity of the beauty in palace costume, and they saluted one after another, but before they could come forward to say hello, Mo Yu left in a hurry.
Chen Changsheng and the others thought about the words she left, and their originally excellent mood was suddenly clouded by a layer of gloom, but they didn't have time to think about it deeper, because another person came right after.
Xue Xingchuan and Chen Liuwang came out of the Xichen Building and congratulated the four students from the Orthodox Academy. These things made Chen Changsheng and others even more astonished.
When the Bishop Mei Lisha walked out of the Xichen Building and came in front of them, everyone knew that there should be no other important people appearing, because the old man said directly: "Let's go out of the palace together."
It is not a question, but an invitation, which cannot be refused, and there is no reason to refuse.
Now the whole continent knows that Chen Changsheng and the Orthodox Academy are representatives of the old faction of the Orthodox Church, and it must be admitted that without the covert guidance of this old man and the Apostle Office under his command, Chen Changsheng would not have any chance of getting the imperial examination. top of the list.
So no matter whether they admit it or not, Chen Changsheng, the Orthodox Academy and this old big man can no longer be separated, so the only thing they can do now is to accept it.
Luoluo's situation is quite special. At such a sensitive moment, it is impossible for her to appear in front of the crowd outside the palace with Mei Lisha at home, because she represents the attitude of the monster race, and she must be very cautious when it comes to strife and struggle in the human world. , can't even show any attitude.
Chen Changsheng looked at her and said comfortingly, "It's okay, you go back first, see you in our academy."
Luoluo's sadness eased a little, and she held his hand and said, "Sir, take good care of your wounds."
After taking the medicine, Chen Changsheng received some treatment, and he didn't need to hide on the stretcher anymore. He was supported by Tang Thirty-Six and Xuanyuan Po, and followed the bishop to the outside of the academy.
Luoluo lives in the academy, she doesn't need to leave, she just needs to see her off.
Not long after, one old, three young and four people walked out of Qingxian Hall.
Looking around, they saw that the sky was dyed red by the sunset glow, and the night was on the other side. It turned out to be the evening of the next day. Only then did they know that the Great Court Examination had been going on for two days and one night.
Thinking of this, they couldn't help feeling very tired and tired suddenly.
…
…
There were people everywhere outside Li Palace, it was dark.
The spectators refused to leave, and many people nervously waited for the final result with their betting slips in their hands. Around the stone pillar, there were many teachers and elders of the academy sect, waiting for the candidates to come out.
The Great Court Examination is finally over, and the final results have been announced. Those teachers and elders, after all, were most concerned about the situation of their own candidates after all, despite being surprised.
Candidates came out of Qingxian Hall one after another, walked out of the palace along the Shinto path, met the waiting family members and teachers, and had various emotions. Some candidates shouted repeatedly, and their family members wept in surprise. Some candidates had gloomy faces, and their relatives kept comforting them.
As more and more examinees left the palace, the outside of the palace gradually became quieter. The four sons of the Lishan Sword Sect entered the guest courtyard directly after leaving the Qingxian Hall, but they never appeared again, but people were still waiting for something.
The setting sun is setting like a dreamy sunset, and above the Shinto, there are long stone steps.
Supported by Tang Thirty-Six and Xuanyuan Po, Chen Changsheng slowly walked down the stone steps.
The Bishop is at the rear.
Inside and outside the palace, everything was quiet.
The sunset glow falls on the steps, a piece of red and warm, no different from the morning.
