Observing the steles in the Mausoleum of Heavenly Books and enlightening Taoism is the fastest way for practitioners to improve their realm. This has been proven for countless years, but there is no rule that the top three in the imperial examinations will go to the Mausoleum of Heavenly Books before becoming an official or becoming a teacher. In this mountain mausoleum covered by green forests, it is very common for stele viewers to break through the realm.
Logically speaking, even if Zhong Hui broke through overnight, it would not cause such a big commotion. However, apart from the new tomb viewers like Su Moyu and Ye Xiaolian, even the old people in the Tianshu Mausoleum, and even the senior stele attendants outside the crowd all looked very serious—if Zhong Hui succeeds, he will He is the first person to break through the realm among the new entrants this year, and because, although there are other reasons, he only saw the first stele of Tianshu Mausoleum, and his realm strength can be improved so much, which shows his talent for understanding Really excellent.
Chen Changsheng didn't look at Ji Jin for too long. He looked at Zhong Hui who was sitting cross-legged in front of the stele, looked at the mist surrounding him, and listened to the sound of boiling water in his body that was getting more and more urgent. Thinking about what happened, Zhonghui hadn't found a way to unravel the stele last night, let alone saw the possibility of breaking through. Why did such a big change happen overnight
"Last night Zhong Hui sat in front of the stele all night, and I heard...Senior Ji Jin also guarded him all night." Su Moyu walked from the forest bank to him and Tang Thirty-Six and said.
Chen Changsheng frowned slightly, remembering a past event mentioned in senior Xun Mei's notes. More than 20 years ago, there was a stele attendant from the Tiandao Academy who used some method to help a student of the Tiandao Academy who entered the mausoleum to view the stele to successfully break through. He looked at Ji Jin's pale face and thought, could it be that this person did not hesitate to spend a lot of his true energy and mind last night to forcibly pass on his skills to Zhong Hui
"I also thought of that possibility, but... it's too wasteful." Gou Hanshi walked over, looked at his expression and knew what he was thinking, and said, "Senior Ji Jin has at least lost half of his true energy, but The bell can only last for half a day, when the time is up, those true essence will be scattered in the world."
Chen Changsheng said: "But some perceptions can be left behind. In different realms, the inscriptions in the eyes are naturally different."
Gou Hanshi nodded and said, "If you just insist on solving the monument's speed, it does make sense."
Some people in front of the stele noticed Chen Changsheng's arrival, and watched him talking with Gou Hanshi, their expressions changed slightly.
In the eyes of others, their discussion was too calm and even calm, and they didn't feel anxious at all. Someone started to panic for them. Tang Sanshiliu and Zhexiu looked at Chen Changsheng quietly, and Guan Feibai looked at Gou Hanshi quietly. They didn't speak, but the meaning they expressed was very clear—you two need to hurry up.
Su Moyu said: "After breaking through the secluded world and then successfully deciphering the monument, if Zhong Hui really does this, you seven sons of that cottage will inevitably be a little embarrassed."
Chen Changsheng was startled, and asked puzzledly, "What seven sons of that cottage?"
Su Moyu looked at the seven of them and said: "The seven of you are the most eye-catching among the candidates this year. You have been living in thatched huts since you entered the Tianshu Mausoleum. Some people always think that you are deliberately separated from everyone, and some people think that you are arrogant and hard Close, I don’t know who started calling it that, it has gradually spread.”
Tang Thirty-Six said proudly: "Let them be jealous."
Guan Fei said blankly, "It's a mediocrity not to be envied by others."
The two looked at each other, suddenly felt that something was wrong, turned their faces away, and said at the same time: "But we are not going all the way."
The ridiculous dispute did not change the atmosphere around the stele hut, and those eyes looking at the seven of them still had complicated emotions.
Chen Changsheng knew that Ji Jin used one night to forcibly protect Zhonghui to break through, in order to let him decipher the monument faster than himself and Gou Hanshi. The words of the Holy Empress Tang Sanshiliu quoted last night were essentially meaningless. Whoever can be the first to unravel the stele among the candidates this year will be the greatest honor.
At this moment, there was another change in front of the stele. Ji Jin came to Zhong Hui's voice lightly. on the back.
Gou Hanshi's expression was slightly cold, and he said, "The Jitian Pill from Huaiyuan?"
Chen Changsheng didn't know what Jitian Pill was, but most people in front of the stele knew it. After hearing Gou Hanshi's words, they couldn't help but change their expressions slightly, thinking that Huaiyuan actually used such a precious elixir to help the clock break. It can be seen how much Huaiyuan attaches importance to this young scholar, and how strong Ji Jin's desire for Chen Changsheng and others to be frustrated is.
Zhong Hui took the pill, and Ji Jin used his true energy to help dissolve the medicine, but in an instant, his face turned red, and the next moment, his face returned to normal, and the fog that permeated around him also became thicker and weaker. , and then slowly returned to his body like smoke returning to the mountains!
An extremely pure breath appeared between the monuments.
The oil lamp hanging on the treetop had long been extinguished, and suddenly it swayed up and down, and a breeze came from nowhere, and the flowers and plants around the Sunny Monument died.
Zhong Hui opened his eyes, stood up, turned around slowly, and looked at the crowd around the stele hut. His eyes were quiet, and he didn't know how much deeper meaning was added than usual.
A Huaiyuan scholar said with great joy: "Congratulations, senior brother, for breaking through!"
There were also discussions among the crowd who went to the Tianshu Mausoleum to view the stele in the old year. Some people said: "The heritage of Huaiyuan is indeed profound, and I admire it."
Zhong Hui was very calm, without any ecstasy or arrogance on his handsome face, he bowed his hands to the crowd around the stele hut and saluted with a calm demeanor.
Someone who watched the stele in the old days praised: "Although there is external force, it is finally one's own realm. It is really good to see the first stele and understand the broken realm."
"Thank you, Master Uncle, for completeness." Zhong Hui turned to Ji Jin and bowed to the ground, sincerely saying.
A blush appeared on Ji Jin's pale face, he stroked his short beard lightly and said nothing, very satisfied.
As the crowd discussed, if Zhong Hui hadn't been gifted with excellent savvy, then even if he lost his true energy, he still wouldn't be able to achieve the current scene.
The surroundings of the stele hut suddenly became quiet.
Because Zhong Hui looked towards the mountain road, where Chen Changsheng and Gou Hanshi were standing.
Among the top three candidates in this year's Great Court Examination, Chen Changsheng is at the top, Gou Hanshi is at the second place, and Zhong Hui is at the third place. After this result came out, some people who knew the details of the battle felt sorry for Gou Hanshi, and more people were shocked by Chen Changsheng's incredible strength improvement, but few people would mention Zhong Hui. With a touch of sarcasm, it is said that this person is really lucky.
Zhong Hui's luck in the Dachao Examination was indeed very good. In the lottery, except for the final loss to Luoluo, he did not encounter any strong opponents. As for Guan Feibai, Liang Banhu, Qijian, and Zhuanghuan Yu's strength level is not weaker than him, and Zhe Xiu, who is obviously stronger than him, either lost to each other, or was defeated by Gou Hanshi and Chen Changsheng, otherwise it would be difficult for him to enter the final top three.
Of course, people think that he can't be compared with Chen Changsheng and Gou Hanshi. The most important reason is the difference in realm. The most important and the furthest step, he can only be ignored as a matter of course.
But today, he finally succeeded in communicating with the secluded.
The top three in the first ranking of the Dachao Examination, at least in terms of realm, are already on par.
The people in front of the stele looked at him looking at Chen Changsheng and Gou Hanshi, knowing that he must have something to say.
"After the Great Court Examination, neither the Qingyun Ranking nor the Golden Ranking of the Tianji Pavilion will be changed. Because the top three candidates in the Great Imperial Examination will all enter the Tianshu Mausoleum. In this mountain mausoleum, there will be countless fortunes and setbacks. Some of the candidates ranked very last in the Great Court Examination, but after entering the Mausoleum of Books, they can go straight to the sky like a dragon. , Sighing at these steles, time is wasted but there is no gain in the slightest, the rankings in the past are no longer meaningful, everything only depends on the present, so Tianji Pavilion will make changes to the list after people leave the Mausoleum of Heavenly Books."
Zhong Hui looked at Chen Changsheng and Gou Hanshi and said, "Before entering the Mausoleum of the Book of Heaven, everyone said that I was not as good as you two. Fortunately, I finally found my own destiny. You told me last night, can you explain the monument to me?" It doesn’t matter, I’m not familiar with you, why am I disappointed, what I want to say is, if you don’t keep up, after leaving the Heavenly Book Mausoleum, you may not even have the qualifications to be my opponent, then you will really disappoint me.”
Chen Changsheng remained silent, while Gou Hanshi remained calm as usual.
Tang Thirty-Six sneered and said: "It's not just breaking through the world, the two of them have already been through the world, and they speak so arrogantly, people who don't know will think that you have succeeded in gathering stars."
These words were indeed very reasonable, even if Zhong Hui had just caught up with Gou Hanshi and Chen Changsheng, even if Zhong Hui had just caught up with Gou Hanshi and Chen Changsheng, how could he have the confidence to say such words.
Zhong Hui ignored Tang Thirty-Six, took one last look at Chen Changsheng, and said, "No way, I'm going to take a step first."
The two Huaiyuan scholars vaguely guessed something when they heard the words, they were very excited and said loudly: "Congratulations, senior brother!"
Ji Jin still stroked his short beard lightly and said nothing, but the smile on his face was getting bigger and bigger.
Even the stele attendants on the periphery of the crowd nodded in approval.
After saying this, Zhong Hui walked towards the stele until he came to the stele, stretched out his right hand, and landed on the lines on the surface of the stele.
A clear light appeared, a gust of breeze came, and the green leaves rustled.
Zhong Hui's figure disappeared.
Seeing this scene, the newcomers who only entered the Tianshu Mausoleum this year couldn't help but exclaim.
Those who entered the Tianshu Mausoleum to view the stele before turned a blind eye to it.
Yes, the Tianshu Monument has been unlocked.
Among the candidates for the Great Court Examination who entered the mausoleum this year, the first person who successfully interpreted the Tianshu stele appeared.
It wasn't Gou Hanshi, nor Chen Changsheng, but Huaiyuan Zhonghui.
He should have been standing in front of the second stele at this time.
The breeze gradually calmed down, and the front of the Zhaoqing Monument was also quiet, and the scene was quiet.
People subconsciously looked at Gou Hanshi and Chen Changsheng again, especially the gazes that looked at Chen Changsheng contained a lot of emotion.
As Tang Thirty-Six and Guan Feibai said before, many people are jealous of the so-called Seven Sons of the Thatched House. Of course, the most envied object is the one who used to borrow nameless in the past, but suddenly shined in the Great Court Examination, and may even be later. Chen Changsheng who will marry Xu Yourong, looking at him, who wouldn't be secretly sour
How jealous and sour these people were towards him in the past, now they looked at him with relief, full of deliberate sympathy and pity.
