Fighter of the Destiny

Illuminating the world, bringing the light and heat needed for life without being dazzling and hot. There is really no difference between the sunset glow and the morning glow. The latter appears later, but is equally brilliant. Chen Changsheng only started to practice after arriving in Kyoto from Xining Town. He watched the sunset on Xishan Mountain before setting foot on the mountain trail. In the end, he surpassed many previous travelers, even people like Gou Hanshi, and was the first to reach the top of the mountain.

Is he the first to win this year's imperial examination?

Is it really the one named Chen Changsheng?

Is there something wrong?

People outside the palace looked at the young men from the National Education Academy walking slowly in the afterglow of Shinto. They talked a lot, with incredible expressions on their faces, and more people were shocked to the point of being completely speechless.

After the Ivy Banquet, Chen Changsheng became a celebrity in Kyoto because of his engagement with Xu Yourong. At that time, he was the object of hostility and ridicule by the people in Kyoto. There was even a proverb specially made for him - a toad wants to eat phoenix flesh, so he has a whim.

On the day when the Qingyun Ranking was changed, the Bishop announced on behalf of Chen Changsheng that he would take the first place in the Great Examination. No one took this seriously. Instead, it gave rise to more ridicule and shame. No one believed that he could really do this. I just want to see Chen Changsheng's expression when he gets nothing after the imperial examination.

This year's imperial examination was very lively, but what the people were most concerned about was how they would vent their ridicule to the whimsical and wishful thinking Chen Changsheng after it was over. However, who would have thought that the wishful thinking would actually become a reality. After the fantasy, the boy from the National Education Academy who did not know how to practice a few months ago actually won the first place in the imperial examination!

Yes, the first place in this year's imperial examination is not Gou Hanshi, not anyone from the Seven Laws of the Kingdom of God, not Tian Hai Sheng Xue, not Zhe Xiu, not Zhuang Changyu, nor the young scholar from Huaiyuan.

Instead, Chen Changsheng.

No one wants to believe this result, but it is true. Many people, especially those who kept laughing at Chen Changsheng before the imperial examination, felt that their faces were a little hot and even a little painful.

Even if it was the truth, people still couldn't accept it and couldn't figure it out. The silence inside and outside the palace was broken by discussions, and the specific process of the imperial examination spread quickly.

The next moment, both sides of the Shinto and inside and outside the palace became even quieter, and then exploded with a bang.

Chen Changsheng actually accessed the secluded world during the Great Chao Trial Battle? And he was still in the decisive battle with Gou Hanshi? How can this be! With the level that Chen Changsheng has shown before, being able to get the first place in the Great Examination today is already so legendary. The fact that he actually passed through the Great Examination makes this color even more intense!

Tongyou at the age of fifteen? Want to know what this means?

The importance of this matter is almost as important as the first place in the imperial examination itself!

The setting sun shone slantly on the Shinto, dragging Chen Changsheng's shadow very long.

On both sides of the Shinto, there are several academies directly under the Imperial Palace. Outside the stone pillars further ahead, there are tens of millions of people. There are also many important figures hidden under the shade of the trees.

No matter who it was, they couldn't hide the look of shock on their faces when they looked at the young man on the Shinto.

Su Moyu was sitting in a wheelchair, being pushed by classmates from the Ligong Affiliated Hospital, in the woods beside the road.

He looked at Chen Changsheng, thinking about what he said here a few days ago, and his emotions were a little complicated.

Chen Changsheng looked at him and nodded in greeting. It was inconvenient to talk when everyone was watching him, so he asked him how he was injured with his eyes. Su Moyu said it was not a big problem, and then saluted seriously.

Chen Changsheng stopped and returned the courtesy calmly.

Many candidates who had finished the imperial examination had not yet left and were looking at Chen Changsheng. But not everyone has Su Moyu's demeanor, and their faces are a little ugly.

Zhuang Changyu sat in the carriage of Tiandaoyuan, lifted a corner of the curtain, and looked at the young man walking slowly outside the palace under the gaze of countless eyes, his pale face showing unwillingness.

Four scholars from Huaiyuan, headed by Zhong Hui, stood at the stele hall in the northwest corner of the palace, looking at Chen Changsheng in the distance, with angry and confused emotions on their faces.

Yes, no matter how angry and unwilling they are when they look at Chen Changsheng, they can only feel at a loss in the end, because from today on, these names that once shone brightly on the Qingyun List will all become bleak in front of Chen Changsheng, and They even lost the qualification to compare with Chen Changsheng.

Their names have all been engraved high on the Qingyun List, and they will probably continue to stay there in the future. However, Chen Changsheng's name has never appeared on the Qingyun List, and will never appear again in the future.

Luo Luo went from ninth to second on the Qing Yun Ranking, Xu Yourong took the first place upon entering the Qing Yun Ranking, and Qiu Shanjun did the same, causing the Qing Yun Ranking to be temporarily changed three times, shocking the entire continent.

What Chen Changsheng did was even more incredible.

He has never entered the Qingyun Ranking, and there is no need to enter the Qingyun Ranking again this year, because he has already entered the Qingyun Ranking. Even if he wants to enter the ranking, he can only enter the Gold Ranking, just like Qiu Shanjun and Gou Hanshi today.

In other words, his cultivation directly skipped the Qingyun Ranking stage.

An ordinary person who never knew how to practice, started practicing, and has never been on the Qingyun List. Once he appeared in front of the world, he was directly on the Midas List. Has there ever been such a person in the world?

People inside and outside the palace thought in shock and kept talking.

Some people vaguely remembered that Wang Zhice seemed to have done something similar many years ago.

…

…

Chen Changsheng and the other three walked out of the palace, and the crowd rushed over like a tide.

A powerful aura emerged out of nowhere, blocking those people away.

Jin Yulu held the reins and looked expressionlessly at the people who kept shouting Chen Changsheng's name. His attitude was very clear. Anyone who dared to come closer would be killed.

Under the sunset, the palace became extremely noisy because of Chen Changsheng. The prestige of the Golden Rule could intimidate those people from approaching, but it could not block the sight and sound.

Thousands of pairs of shocked, curious, and probing eyes converged in one place, blazing brighter than the sun. Chen Changsheng even felt that his clothes were on fire, and his cheeks stung.

Chen Changshou! Chen Changshou!

Please Chen Shoudui take a rest in my teahouse for a while.

Chen Shitou, on a great occasion, you need to drink, and my master has Huangzhou drunk as a gift!

Master Tang, you haven't visited my daughter for a long time. How can you waste this good night...

Countless voices rang out in the crowd, constantly reaching the ears of Chen Changsheng and the other three. As the scene became more and more lively, some people even ignored Jin Yulu's cold eyes and tried to get closer, some boldly. Some girls kept reaching out to touch Tang Sanliu's body, and there was chaos.

Chen Changsheng won the first place in the imperial examination. Of course, it was not something he liked to see. It was unknown how many people in Kyoto lost money because of him. However, those emotions had long been replaced by the shock of seeing the miracle happen, and it was not related to the shock of seeing the miracle happen. The demons have been fighting for thousands of years, and the human world has always recognized the strong and pursued geniuses. How could the people who came to see the Great Imperial Examination miss such an opportunity?

Fortunately, the priests who left the palace, especially the officials from the Purification Department who were responsible for maintaining order, rushed over at this time. Under the authority of Lord Zhou Tong, the crowd finally became quieter.

Chen Changsheng walked to the carriage and, together with Tang Sanliu and Xuanyuan Po, bowed seriously to Jin Yulu.

Jin Yulu gently stroked his thin beard, smiled and said nothing, very satisfied.

The reins swung lightly, the wheels moved slowly, and the crowd surrounding them divided their own paths. Just like when they came before, they were all tides, and they all represented a certain attitude.

Of course, the enthusiastic shouts from the crowd never stopped.

Chen Changsheng was at the back of the carriage, lifting the curtain of the rear window and looking back at the way he came. Under the last glow, the Qingxian Hall at the end of the Shinto Road and above the long steps seemed to be burning. There was a vague figure on the railing upstairs. He guessed He must have been Luoluo, so he laughed, and then he saw the bishop standing under an old tree next to the Shinto, slightly stooped, showing his age, no one was approaching, and he was very lonely, so he raised the corners of his lips just now He let go and his smile gradually disappeared.

The wheels rolled over the bluestone slabs, and the sounds around them did not weaken. The people in Kyoto seemed to be preparing to send the carriage directly back to the National Education Academy. Naturally, the people in the car did not dare to open the curtains again.

Then...what happened to whose daughter? Chen Changsheng looked at Tang Sanliu and asked.

Tang Sanshiliu was a little annoyed and shouted: Who knows what's going on!

When Chen Changsheng saw him like this, he naturally stopped asking any more questions. Thinking about the previous formation outside the palace, he sighed: Today I understand why Zhou Du|husband's brother was watched and killed...so many people stared at him. , combined together seems to be more terrifying than Gou Hanshi's Golden Crow Secret Sword.

Tang Thirty-Six laughed and said: You are lucky. A few years ago, you would have been kidnapped by the nobles in Kyoto as soon as you left the palace. We can also take advantage of it.

Chen Changsheng was puzzled and asked: Why is this?

Tang Thirty-Six said: The first place in the imperial examination is of course the candidate for a good son-in-law. How could those noble men miss such an opportunity? How could those young girls let you go?

Only then did Chen Changsheng understand what was going on. Thinking of those slender hands filled with admiration and possessiveness that had quietly reached out to Tang Sanliu when the crowd was surging, he said with a smile: If I want to rob him, I should rob you.

Tang Sanshiliu said angrily: I don't like chatting with you.

Chen Changsheng asked: You also said it was a few years ago, why is it different this year?

Tang Sanshiliu stared into his eyes and said angrily: Are you really not understanding or are you pretending not to understand? You are engaged to Xu Yourong now, who dares to steal her from her?

…

…

Xu Shiji returned to the Dongyu Divine General's Mansion from the Li Palace. The expression on his face remained unchanged, as if frozen by the cold wind of early spring, making it impossible to see his true mood.

After being surrounded by the warm breeze in the flower hall for a moment, his mood was the same as his body, slightly more relaxed. However, when he thought of the words of the ministers and bishops in the palace, his expression became even colder.

The list of the Great Imperial Examination has been listed, but the official release of the list will be the day after tomorrow, so the court officials and the big figures of the state religion do not need to come forward. They are just waiting in the side hall for tea and chatting. After the battle, he also went to sit for a while, but Unexpectedly, I heard no less than ten congratulations.

Congratulations, congratulations... Congratulations to what? Naturally, congratulations to Chen Changsheng for getting the first place in the imperial examination. Why should Dongyu Shenjiang not be happy about getting such a good son-in-law? ?

Of course Xu Shiji was not happy, and those congratulations were naturally mocking, so how could he look good?

He sat in the chair with his eyes closed and didn't speak for a long time.

It was already night, and the candlelight in the hall was flickering. Suddenly, a light rain fell in the yard. The light rain in early spring is often colder than winter snow, but his expression became gentle.

Because of this rain, he thought of the several rains in the Washing Building. He looked at his wife and said, On the day when the results are announced, prepare a table. It doesn't need to be too sumptuous. Just home-cooked food will do.

Mrs. Xu vaguely guessed what he meant and was slightly shocked and speechless.

A family banquet is naturally a family banquet.
