Fighter of the Destiny

The Mausoleum of the Book of Heaven is in Kyoto. Kyoto is the center of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the center of the human world, and can even be said to be the center of the continent. Both the southern forces and the monsters allied with humans have to recognize the Central Plains Dynasty of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He has made many concessions in many conflicts of interests.

Only those who have passed the Great Examination and a very small number of special beings are qualified to enter the Tomb of Heavenly Books to enlighten themselves. Therefore, the Great Examination is the most important event in the world. Compared with the Stone Cooking Conference, which is only held once every three or five years, more important. This year's imperial examination is still held in the Li Palace. In the early morning, thousands of people have gathered in front of the stone pillars of the Li Palace. There are sellers of melon seeds and fruits, cooking cakes and meat, and bench sellers. Looking carefully, it turns out that There are the most vendors selling water. People in Kyoto can watch the Imperial Examination once a year and are familiar with the rules. Most of them are still at home. Most of the people gathered now are tourists from all over the mainland. It is conceivable that when the imperial examination is official At the beginning, when everyone came outside the palace, the scene must have been so lively.

The students taking part in the imperial examination naturally came earlier than the people watching the excitement. An area of ​​more than a thousand feet was separated in front of the stone pillar of the Li Palace. It was already filled with all kinds of vehicles. In the dim morning light, teachers from various colleges were giving final reminders to the students, and some students were resting with their eyes closed. .

What separates this area from the people watching the excitement is a long yellow cloth. Logically speaking, this cloth can never block the enthusiasm of the people, let alone the instinct of the vendors to seize the territory. But the strange thing is that no one, no matter the people or the vendors, dared to take a step beyond Buman.

Because there are hundreds of officials and forbidden troops standing outside the cloth with serious expressions, and because at the end of the cloth, there is a car pulled by a black rhinoceros. Everyone on the mainland knows that there is only one car in the world pulled by a black rhinoceros. There will always be only one person sitting in that car - Lord Zhou Tong of the Qing Dynasty Officials Department.

Students from the south were the first to arrive. People came from all the gates of the Changsheng Sect. Gou Hanshi and the other four sons of Lishan stood at the front with calm expressions, as if today was just an ordinary day. The morning light fell on their faces and the morning breeze blew their clothes. He was so calm and calm that he attracted the attention of many people.

Disciples from many sects under Saintess Peak also came. The young junior sister from Hujian Temple who was scolded by Tang Sanliu stood in the crowd, looking at the Li Palace group in the morning light, her childish little face Full of nervousness and confusion, a senior sister touched her head, smiled and said something.

A girl wearing the clothes of the outer gate of Nanxi Zhai frowned slightly, seeming to be under a lot of pressure. Nanxi Zhai is divided into two gates: the inner and outer gates. There is only Xu Yourong in the inner gate, but there are many people in the outer gate. She was selected by the master gate. When you come to participate in the imperial examination, you will naturally have to take on certain responsibilities.

South of Forgotten River, there are countless sects, most of which can be classified under the two sects of Changsheng Sect and Saintess Peak. Both sects belong to the southern sect and can also be regarded as the same sect. Young men and women stand together and occasionally By whispering something, the uneasiness of being in a foreign land and the uneasiness of the upcoming test were diluted a lot.

There were only a few young men wearing Chu-colored gowns standing relatively far away. These young scholars all came from the legendary Huaiyuan.

Compared with the students from the south, the Kyoto colleges and the young students who have passed the preparatory exams for the Great Imperial Examination all stand on the east side of the square, which is slightly closer to the morning sun and can withstand less cold westerly winds. The location is much better and the number of people is larger. There were many more people than on the other side. Looking at the darkness, it was impossible to count how many people there were.

Zhuang Huanyu stood in front of the students of Tiandao Academy with an indifferent expression. Tiandao Academy was in the front of everyone, followed by the Star-Zhaing Academy, Zongsi Institute and other Ivy Courtyards. In the silence, Qingteng Academy The girls who chatted non-stop in the Thirteenth Division were very eye-catching, followed by the ordinary students who had passed the preparatory exams.

The top three in the imperial examination were of course the ones who were favored were the disciples from the colleges and major sects. For example, Zhuang Changyu from Tiandaoyuan, Su Moyu from Ligong Affiliated School, two young captains from Zhaixing Academy, and a senior sister from Qingzhi Thirteenth Division. In recent years, the southern sect has become the leader among the younger generation, and naturally attracts more attention. The fourth son of the Lishan Sword Sect and the young scholars from Huaiyuan are regarded as natural to be able to enter the top three.

People are more concerned about who can enter the top list.

Just like the history of human cultivation, the Great 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 Examination last year was the third of the seven laws of the Kingdom of God. , but if he wanted to take part in this year's imperial examination, he might not even be able to make it to the top.

This year, four people came from the Seven Laws of the Divine Kingdom, four came from Huaiyuan, and Saintess Peak also sent out the most promising female disciples. In Kyoto, Proud Ruzhuang Changyu finally decided not to wait any longer, and even more Some strong men like Tianhai Shengxue also decided not to wait any longer and show their brilliance in this year's imperial examination. Only the young cultivators of the Monster Clan, perhaps because His Highness Luoluo was in Kyoto, did not send anyone to participate in this year's imperial examination. Of course, the honest young man from the National Education Academy was not included here.

Tianhai Shengxue had not participated in the imperial examination before because he had not yet known Tongyou and did not have the confidence to defeat the legendary Qiu Shanjun and get the first place in the first place.

Yes, if Qiu Shanjun does not participate in the imperial examination, he will not have any interest in the imperial examination. The same is true for Zhuang Changyu. Those scholars in Huaiyuan may have not come to Kyoto until this year for the same reason.

All the proud young geniuses in the mainland have always been aiming for Mr. Qiu Shan.

Unfortunately, Akiyama-kun still did not appear this year.

But they have no choice but to wait any longer. The Mausoleum of Heavenly Books has been waiting for them there for several years. If they don't enter the Tomb of Heavenly Books to gain enlightenment, it is likely to affect their cultivation career.

Since Qiu Shanjun will not participate in this year's imperial examination, in the eyes of many people, the two people who are most likely to get the first place in this year's imperial examination are Gou Hanshi and Tianhai Shengxue. The young scholars from Huaiyuan and Zhuang Changyu are expected to reach the top of the list.

The name that has been making a lot of noise recently has been deliberately forgotten by people. When talking about the prospects of the imperial examination, people rarely mention the name of that college.

As if to prove that people's attitude is correct, that name is always ranked last in the odds list issued by major gambling houses for the Great Examination. The odds are incredibly high, but I don't know why. Last night, The odds list for the top spot in the Great Examination fluctuated violently. The odds of that name kept falling, and finally it was ranked fourth.

This year's Great Examination is full of strong people. It can be said to be the most competitive in ten years. 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 knew that they were absolutely qualified to make an exception and enter the Tomb of Heavenly Books to enlighten themselves at will, but if they also came to participate, this year would be too shocking.

No one knows why Qiu Shanjun did not participate in this year's imperial examination, not even Gou Hanshi, his closest junior disciples.

Logically speaking, given his level of strength, he should have participated in the previous imperial examinations. In the past, people had always thought that he wanted to wait to enter the Tomb of Heavenly Books with his junior sister Xu Yourong to gain detailed enlightenment. People thought that Xu Yourong would participate in this year's imperial examination, but he didn't come, so why didn't Qiu Shanjun come either?

Why doesn'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 mantle and arrived at the venue.

There were murmurs among the crowd in front of the palace, and some people recognized the identities of those who got off the car.

The young man walking at the back is Chen Changsheng, who has been causing trouble in Kyoto recently?

That boy looked so ordinary, but he was actually Xu Yourong's fiancé?

Is this young man going to get the first place in the imperial examination?

…

…

Countless pairs of eyes fell on Chen Changsheng.

He seemed not to be aware of it, and followed the procedures that Priest Xin told him in advance, took the roster and relevant documents to sign up, and then stood at the position assigned to the National Education Academy.

The affairs of the Imperial Examination are all handled by the Jiaoshu Office, and the position is naturally arranged by the Jiaoshu Office.

The location of the National Education Academy...is at the front.

Even more advanced than Tiandao Temple.

Facing the rising sun, it is extremely conspicuous.

Whether it is the people watching the excitement or the young people from the south opposite, they can be easily seen.

It’s very convenient to attract everyone’s attention.

There was a moment of silence, and everyone looked at the three teenagers from the National Education Academy.

Then... there was a sound of coaxing and countless discussions started.

I heard that the boy didn't even succeed in cleansing the marrow, but he actually wanted to take the first place? Is this a joke? Is that young man the only grandson of the Tang family in Wenshui? How much money did Mr. Tang spend on him? Who is that arrogant guy? Only thirteen? It turns out to be a powerful member of the demon clan.

The position of the National Education Academy was arranged at the front, and the most angry ones were naturally the students of the Tiandao Academy. Since the collapse of the National Education Academy more than ten years ago, the Tiandao Academy was the undoubted leader of the Ivy Academy. Who would have thought The position in previous years was actually taken away by the National Education College this year. Zhuang Changyu didn't say anything, but a Tiandao Academy student scolded: You are actually late today?

Tang Sanshiliu deliberately dressed up today, wearing a fluttering green shirt, a jade belt tied around his waist, and a paper fan in his hand. His face was expressionless and indescribably cold and arrogant.

He ignored the former classmate and shook the paper fan lightly. When he was feeling relaxed, he suddenly heard a hiccup coming from beside him.

He turned around angrily, 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's so good about 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 no food is given. How terrible this is. Besides, although it has been cold recently, the venison has already been eaten. It has been left for two days, and it must be left for another three days before it spoils? It is not good to waste things.

Listening to this conversation, the expressions on the faces of the students nearby became extremely exciting.

The imperial examination is about to come, and these two guys from the National Education College are still in the mood to discuss these issues?

Chen Changsheng was not in the mood to discuss this.

At this time, being watched by countless people, he felt a little lonely.

He wants to return to Xining Town.

He is particularly sensitive to gaze at this time.

He noticed that no one was looking at him.

That was a teenager.

The boy was standing in the team of Star Reaching Academy, but he was not wearing the Star Reaching Academy uniform that looked like a military uniform.

The weather was so cold, but the boy was only wearing a single coat, 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 young man seemed particularly lonely.

Chen Changsheng suddenly felt that the young man was the same type of person as him.

…

…

(The coolest guy in Zetian Ji appears, even cooler than Tang Tang, because that’s really cool. I like this chapter.)
