The attendant called Dao Jiying, and the servant Xiaoxiaming from the palace.

Dan Chi's day is three thousand words, and the cloud wing and wind are ninety thousand miles high.

……

In the second year of 510 in the Dazhao calendar, the sixth day of March, late spring.

Today is the examination in front of the Imperial Examination Palace in Chunwei, Zhao Dynasty. It is the most grand day in the whole Zhao Dynasty. The hard work of countless people who went to Lin'an for reference will come to an end today.

The densely packed chariots were driving on the long street, and they stopped one after another when they approached the quiet street.

Those candidates who were on the list of A and B Jinshi got out of their chariots one after another, and walked all the way to the continuous palaces deep in the quiet street.

The imperial palace in Lin'an Mansion occupies a very large area, with its back against the majestic Phoenix Mountain and looking to the north, it also has a special metaphor.

500 years ago, the Great Zhao moved south, and finally moved its capital to Lin'an. It did not build a grand palace in Lin'an. At that time, it simply built a palace to deal with government affairs.

All the civil and military officials, even the royal family of Zhao, still have the dream of being able to cross the river to recover the middle land one day and return to the northern capital.

However, with the passage of time, more and more palaces were built at the foot of Phoenix Mountain. With the construction of civil engineering, majestic and majestic palaces appeared at the foot of the mountain one after another, stretching wider and wider, and occupying more and more land. The bigger it is, it represents the majesty of the royal family.

The ever-expanding imperial city is like the haze that engulfed everyone's ambition to go north to recover Middle Earth.

Gradually going north to recover the middle land has become a slogan that is shouted from time to time.

The increasingly extravagant Lin'an gradually lost the eyes of the officials and the royal family.

Today's Lin'an Imperial City occupies a very large area, crossing the quiet street, many literati dare not speak loudly, and in the quiet street are the residences of many dignitaries, and any mansion here may be inhabited by generals and princes .

Everyone walked all the way, and they came to the majestic imperial city covered with red walls and glazed tiles.

A towering inner city gate tower stretches across the end of the quiet street, with cornices upturned and golden tiles shining to reflect the rising sun in spring.

Below the city are military guards in armor, with knives on their waists, misty with blood.

There are also soldiers standing on the city tower with swords in their arms. They are majestic and their eyes are as sharp as eagles.

They stopped in front and investigated every Jinshi Jia and B who entered the Tianxuanmen. This is a routine action.

At this moment, through the Tianxuan Gate, there is a narrow and long imperial road leading to the long white jade square paved with white jade stones, and inside the white jade Danchi, there are auspicious beasts carved by craftsmen with extremely high craftsmanship. The relief, as if the auspicious beast in it is about to come alive, roars out of it.

Going up from the white jade pill is Tianxuan Palace, with a golden roof and red walls, glazed and golden tiles on both sides slanting down. Before and after Tianxuan Palace, a royal road that spreads for dozens of miles passes through the palace and goes straight to the top of Phoenix Mountain. Can look north.

Today's emperor of the Great Zhao Dynasty sits on the throne in the Tianxuan Palace, overlooking the Sangong Jiuqing, civil and military officials, and listening to the world.

At this moment, in front of the Tianxuan Palace, the auspicious clouds are blooming, and the splendor is endless. One after another, figures in court clothes are striding towards the palace with their heads held high and their chests held high.

The Tianxuan Palace is incomparably magnificent. Today, as the place for the examination in front of the palace, for many of the first- and second-ranked Jinshi who missed the examination in front of the palace, this may be the only chance in their life to see the magnificent Tianxuan Palace.

Hundreds of officials have already filed in.

Prime Minister Qin Lishi, Deputy Prime Minister Ouyang Xiangru and other civil servants, as well as Li You'an, Wu Kui Di Zang and other military officials and ministers, as well as dukes, princes and many other nobles with different titles but noble status.

In addition, there are the eldest prince, the second prince and other nobles standing.

Obviously, they all have different solemn feelings about the imperial examination in front of the Chunwei Imperial Examination Hall.

Suddenly, Diao Si, who was dressed in purple, stood beside the emperor of the Zhao family who was sitting on the throne, and looked out of Tianxuan Palace.

However, he saw a trembling figure, holding a dragon-headed crutch, slowly ascending the palace, it was none other than the old lady of the Lin Mansion.

Beside the old matriarch, Mrs. Hua, dressed in luxurious clothes, quietly stepped into the hall.

In addition, there are Mrs. Ye from the Ye Mansion and other wives who ordered to set foot in Tianxuan Palace one after another.

The gazes of the civil and military officials all changed slightly. When these orders set foot, they all knew that today's examination in front of the palace will definitely be very different from previous years.

Many people glanced at Tong Diao Si who was next to the emperor of the Zhao family. It can be seen that Tong Diao Si had a gun, a knife and a bow beside him.

Mysterious aura is pervasive, and the three treasures are all extraordinary things, obviously they are treasures as rewards for this pre-temple test.

And most people's eyes fell on the golden-backed broadsword. The sword fell there quietly and was not manipulated by anyone, but they could all feel the coercion and terrifying sharpness emanating from it.

This saber is the second-grade treasured saber, one of the treasures in the treasure house of the royal family, which was once rewarded to Lin Dalang. Later, Lin Dalang died in battle, and this saber was exiled in the Yuanmeng army. Returning to Dazhao, he was finally accepted back into the magic treasure house.

Now, it is taken out as a reward, and there is a reason for it.

Many officials whispered and muttered, looking at the golden knife, their eyes were full of complexities.

Everyone knows that this big golden knife was used as a reward in this palace examination. In addition to Qin Prime Minister Qin Lishi's efforts to promote it, it is also a part of the heart of the emperor of the Zhao family. of decline.

Mrs. Hua stared at the golden knife beside Tong Diao Temple with clear eyes, thinking about something in her heart.

The old lady coughed lightly, her face was old, but she also had a mind that was hard to figure out.

Li Youan stood quietly in a Confucian shirt. Although he was dressed as a literati, he stood in the ranks of generals.

Wu Kui Di Zang's eyes were stern, his hair was radiant, and the tattoos on his face seemed to come alive, and his whole body exuded that strangers should not enter.

With the arrival of all the officials, the scorching sun hangs high.

Tong Diao Temple finally manipulated the voice with the mind to speak, making the voice mighty and mighty spread inside and outside the imperial city.

"The examination in front of the palace is open, please enter the palace with first- and second-ranked scholars."

The words engulfed in the heart, roared and shook.

In the imperial city, an ancient and melodious bell rang at the same time.

At the Tianxuan Gate.

The imperial guards let them go completely, and the excited Scholars of the first and second ranks took a deep breath, looking at the imperial road paved with white jade, but dared not step down.

Suddenly, someone stepped forward. Qin Hua'an, who was wearing a Confucian shirt and carrying a long knife at his waist, was now the only heir of Prime Minister Qin.

Qin Hua'an's face was solemn, he stepped on the imperial road with a knife in his hand, and a faint gust of wind blew over, as if it was about to blow up his clothes.

He looked at the Tianxuan Palace, deep in his calm eyes, there was a shudder, that was excitement.

If he can pass the palace examination and become the number one scholar, he may have the chance to talk to the holy master. From then on, he will soar into the sky. From a child born of a maid with a miserable childhood, he will truly become a legendary figure in the world who talks to the holy master. .

After Qin Huaan set foot on the royal road, it seemed like a hole had been opened, and many first- and second-ranked scholars and practitioners recommended to participate in the pre-temple examination came one after another.

The majestic figure walked on the royal road, solemn and solemn, only the friction sound of the footsteps colliding with the white bricks on the ground.

When An Le arrived in front of the Tianxuan Gate, the Scholars of the First and Second Ranks were stepping on the imperial road in an orderly manner, and heading towards the Tianxuan Palace along the imperial road.

The guards in front of Tianxuan Gate glanced at An Le, and naturally they all knew the well-known Master An in Lin'an Mansion.

There was no so-called making things difficult, and Prime Minister Qin never used any petty tricks that could not be seen in such a solemn and solemn day.

An Le stepped into the arched door, and at the entrance of the Royal Road, there were still several figures waiting for him quietly.

There is Ye Wenxi with a small heavy mountain hanging on his waist, Ye Yinping with a red sleeve gun on his back, and Liu Yue who hasn't seen each other for many days.

In addition to these three, there are three more.

One person was wearing a Confucian shirt, elegant and graceful, with a long and narrow sword on his waist, and his eyes fell on An Le, who was dressed in white Shengxue. This person was Sima Pudu, the fifth in the list of minor saints.

The other person was wearing a fine attire, with a violent aura, and a bit of arrogance all over his body.

It is the sixth on the Xiaosheng list, Wang Qilin's son, Wang Qilin.

There was another person, who was wearing a simple strong suit, but his muscles were bulging, and every inch of his skin was as hard as iron.

This person is the seventh in the Xiaosheng list, and he grows peach blossoms. It is a rather poetic name, but it is matched with a physique like a violent beast.

Among these people, except for Liu Yue who is not the holder of the list of minor saints, the others are all in the top ten list of minor saints.

The Ye family sisters were naturally waiting for Anle.

Sima Pudu, Wang Qilin, Zhong Taohua and others came to wait for An Le, and take a look at this master An who has won consecutive victories, gathered invincible momentum, and wants to walk the legendary road.

Looking at these people, An Le can feel the majestic aura on them, the top ten of the little saints are all extraordinary.

There was no dialogue, just a look at each other's eyes, as if there was a tyrannical mind intertwined and collided, and then, Wang Qilin of the Wang family turned and stepped on the royal road.

Sima Pudu chuckled lightly, and also followed.

Zhong Taohua nodded towards Anle. As a child of the Zhong family, he didn't have much hostility towards Anle who could attract Wu Kuishi.

After all, the Zhong family also produced a Wu Kui, and even though that Wu Kui had died in battle, the Wu Kui stone has a special meaning in the Zhong family.

Planting Peach Blossoms, Ye Wenxi and Ye Yinping, after nodding towards An Le, they also set foot on the Royal Road one after another.

Liu Yue beside him was drenched in sweat. He was not a practitioner, but he was under a lot of pressure among the geniuses on the Little Sage List, but the collision of minds he released almost made him unable to stabilize his figure .

But Liu Yue persisted and forced a smile at An Le.

He stayed mainly to thank An Le, and it was because of An Le that he was able to have his grievances rehabilitated, was able to leave Zhao Prison of Dali Temple again, and was even appreciated by the doctor.

Because, the doctor told him clearly that he could be accepted as a student by the doctor and follow him to study. In addition to making up for the crimes of reporting committed by the Confucian scholars in the Wenqu list of the Academy of Arts, and Liu Yue's own talent, there is a lot left. The big factor is because of comfort.

An Le patted Liu Yue on the shoulder, signaling that he didn't need to thank him: "The one who cleans himself will be cleared. Even without me, I believe Brother Liu will be able to get out of the Zhao Prison of Dali Temple."

Liu Yue's eyes could not help but be filled with emotion.

"Brother An, although I am not a practitioner, if I am an official, I will definitely be a good official and do my best to change this generation."

"The examination questions in the Chunwei Imperial Examination made me understand that being a human being should not go against one's own will. When I was in Zhao Prison of Dali Temple, I thought a lot and even gave up hope. punishment."

Liu Yue said with a sigh.

"In an official position, you have to manage your own affairs."

"Even though Brother Liu is only number one in the second list, it is difficult to become a high-ranking official, but the size of an official has its meaning. Brother Liu must do his best and abide by his heart."

An Le said.

Hearing this, Liu Yue couldn't help showing gratitude and solemnity on his face: "Thank you for your teaching, Mr. An."

"There will be a test in front of the palace... Mr. An, you must work hard! I hope to see you when you become the number one scholar!"

Facing the bright morning sun, Liu Yue smiled and blessed An Le.

An Le smiled: "Thanks to the auspicious words."

Then he waved his hand, dressed in white, and stepped on the royal road.

Go all the way to Tianxuan Palace.

Outside the Tianxuan Palace, on the extremely empty White Jade Square, all the Scholars of the First and Second Ranks came here one after another, but they were stopped by many Diao Temples wearing robes.

The Jinshi of the second list and the non-top ten scholars of the first list stopped one after another.

The top ten practitioners on the list and those recommended by many dignitaries continued to move forward until they reached the center of Baiyu Square, facing the white jade dange, and above the danqi, the Tianxuan Palace, which looked like a bergamot lotus.

In fact, there are not many people who can really walk here, and there are only a dozen people in total.

Other than Qin Hua'an, Sima Pudu, Wang Qilin and other top ten minor sages, there were no other recommenders.

If you want to recommend the imperial examination, if you don't have enough talent, it is difficult to be qualified, so you can only take the Chunwei imperial examination honestly.

"when--"

Another bell rang.

In the vast and magnificent Tianxuan Palace, Tong Diaosi, who was wearing a purple robe, walked out slowly.

On his old but beardless face, his eyes were like cat's eyes, sharp and sharp.

"The examination in front of the hall is divided into literary examination and military examination."

"After a quarter of an hour, the literary test will be held first. The literary test will be presided over by the second master of the literary school. The "Mountain and River Picture", one of the three magic weapons of the literary school, will be used as the place for the literary test. It is related to the mind and spirit, so please do it yourself."

"The martial arts test will be given by the Wu Kui of the Wu Temple. There will be two rounds of rankings in front of the temple. The top two will compete for the final champion. The winner will be the champion."

"Everyone, do you know clearly?"

Tong Diao Temple's voice was quite sharp, it sounded harsh, but with the blessing of mind, it resounded very clearly in the ears of every examinee in front of the hall.

In Tianxuan Palace, many dignitaries and dignitaries were astonished. Obviously, they were all ignorant of the assessment items of this pre-temple examination.

In previous years, in the pre-temple examination, there would be questions from the holy master, and there would be big questions on the paper, but now it is canceled directly, and the assessment criteria are directly based on refining the spirit and body.

Moreover, directly pulling in the Academy of Arts and the Temple of Martial Arts, these two forces themselves are bound to the dynasty, but the number of times they directly become the questioners of the imperial examination is very small.

In the center of Baiyu Square.

There were no objections among the dozen or so candidates, and they clasped their fists together.

There was a solemn look on every face.

On the contrary, those Jinshi who passed the palace examination by relying on the top rankings in the Chunwei Imperial Examination, all of them showed wry smiles.

They are very clear that they are undoubtedly here to accompany the examination of the rules of the palace examination.

Although they are good at cultivation, but after removing the examination papers, the literary test to test their gods, and the martial arts test to exercise their bodies, they naturally have no chance to stand out.

How can they compare with those geniuses on the Xiaosheng list?
The number one scholar has become an unattainable dream, but they have never given up on it. After all, the examination before the palace is the time for ranking. If you perform well and get a high ranking, you will have less time to walk in the temple in the future. Lots of rough roads.

The words fall.

A figure walked lightly from outside the imperial city.

Wearing Confucian shirts and flying white hair, the person who came was Pang Ji, the second master of the Academy of Arts.

Pang Ji is holding a scroll scroll.

Flying on top of the white jade pill, the second master bowed slightly to the emperor of the Zhao family who was sitting on the throne in Tianxuan Palace.

The emperor of the Zhao family nodded with a smile.

"Thank you, Second Master."

"It is the duty of the Academy of Arts to select talents for the dynasty. Your Majesty is serious."

The second master smiled lightly.

Then he turned around and looked at the dozen or so people standing in Baiyu Square.

"The old man will use the "Mountains and Rivers Map" to draw your minds into it. In the Mountains and Rivers Map, you will immediately be divided into two areas, the 'mountain' and the 'river', and each other's minds will compete with each other. Only one of the two areas can keep the mind, and the rest The losers can be given points one by one according to the retention time."

The second master, Pang Ji, slowly explained the rules.

The "Mountains and Rivers Picture" of the Academy of Arts is an extremely powerful binding magic weapon, which can forcibly trap the mind of the strong. This time, this kind of magic weapon was used as the examination room in the front hall test.

In the center of Baiyu Square, everyone's expressions changed slightly.

An Le's eyes fluttered. She never thought that the rules of the first essay test would be like this, directly leading candidates into "Mountain and River Picture" and fighting with it mentally.

It is said to be a competition for refining gods, but in fact, the smell of gunpowder is very strong.

In "Mountain and River Map", the longer you keep, the higher the score, but for those who are really sure, the key is to annihilate other people's minds.

It can be said that this test is completely prepared for the geniuses of the Little Saint Ranking, so that the number one selected and the gold content are high enough to be worthy of the qualification of a dialogue saint.

Therefore, it is not very friendly to those with low spiritual cultivation.

In the eyes of many people, An Le's spiritual cultivation is only at the fourth level, and he can only condense the primordial spirit. This essay test is not very friendly to him.

An Le thought deeply, and suddenly he felt a cold gaze, turned his head to look, and saw Qin Hua'an, Qin Xiang's only son, looking at him coldly.

"I promised my father that I will not let you be in the top three... I hope you and I will be in the same mountain and river in the picture, so that I can crush your mind as quickly as possible."

Qin Huaan opened his mouth without concealing it, it was just that direct.

He didn't say that he wanted to avenge Qin Qianqiu, he just said that he carried his father's expectation.

Qin Hua'an's words caused quite a commotion among the candidates, but everyone knew about the relationship between An Le and Prime Minister Qin, and although they were surprised, they didn't feel strange.

An Le, dressed in white, didn't even look at Qin Hua'an, and didn't respond in any way.

Qin Huaan didn't care either, and looked at the second master standing on the white jade pill.

The second master's mind surged, and the scroll in his hand suddenly floated up.

Suspended in front of Tianxuan Palace.

The picture scroll unfolds slowly, the ink-colored mountains and rivers are surrounded by clouds and smoke, the vast world is fully displayed between the dots of ink and wash, and the magnificent mountains and rivers are presented in the picture scroll, as if to contain all the great mountains and rivers in the world.

"The first test in front of the palace, the test of refining the divine writing."

"Everyone, enter the picture."

The words fall.

After a moment of silence, Qin Hua'an sat down cross-legged, his mind agitated. In the Niwan Palace, the primordial spirit jumped out and walked towards "Mountain and River Picture" step by step. The five realms of the gods, sit and forget the primordial spirit!
Qin Huaan's primordial spirit walked up to the "Mountain and River Picture" with his hands behind his back. He paused for a step in the long sunlight, and glanced at An Le, who was dressed in white and snow-covered, and then turned around and entered the mountains and rivers, turning into a streak Ink-colored Confucian figure.

With Qin Hua'an leading the charge, the others stopped hesitating.

Sima Pudu smiled, and the Niwan Palace between the eyebrows was also full of rosy light, sitting on Wangyuanshen walking out, and diffused into the landscape of mountains and rivers.

The unicorns of the Wang family, Ye Yinping, Ye Wenxi and others all released their souls.

For a moment, the sun was shining on the Baiyu Square, as if many immortals descended from the mortal world.

Of course, there are also many people who can't refine their spirits in the three realms, or even gather their primordial spirits, and can only enter the painting with their minds and spirits.

An Le admired "Mountain and River Picture" for a while, and then sat cross-legged without hesitation.

He raised his hand and tapped it between his eyebrows.

Between the eyebrows, the sword energy suddenly clanged.

Within the sword furnace.

An Le's primordial spirit suddenly opened his eyes.

The sword qi lingers, and the soul, who looks like a real figure, steps out step by step, walking in the void, growing lotuses step by step towards the picture of mountains and rivers.

As soon as An Le's primordial spirit came out.

In Tianxuan Palace, the pupils of many strong men suddenly froze, bursting out with inconceivable expressions.

Is this the primordial spirit of the four realms? !

The primordial spirit of this son...

How could it be so powerful? !
