Chapter 163 Before Taishu Pavilion, Palace Examination List

Lu Jing sat in the Hanmo Academy, looking down at the Snow Drinking Knife in front of him.

The silver-white knife body is matched with a silver-colored handle. It can be vaguely seen that the precious iron used to cast this knife does not know what kind of tempering technique was used. Under the light of the sky, it seems that snowflakes are embedded in it, which is quite beautiful.

Rank five famous knives, even in Taixuanjing, are actually not that common.

Leaving aside the treasures in the hands of the patriarchs and generals of the older generation, most of the famous knives collected by officials of the current dynasty are no more than five grades.

As for the younger generation in Dafu, it is even rarer to wear a fifth-grade famous sword around their waists.

The previous generations of the Jiuhu Lu family managed well and accumulated a large family business. Even the second assistant of Taishu Pavilion Sheng Ruzhou on Shili Changning Street, in terms of wealth, is not as good as the Jiuhu Lu family.

But even so, what Lu Feng, the eldest master of the second mansion in the mansion, possesses is nothing more than a sixth-grade sword.

Although there is indeed a collection of five-rank treasures in the mansion, Lu Feng is young after all, and he has never been an official in the court, so he has never given it to him.

It can be seen from this that the fifth-grade treasured sword is actually extremely precious, and often only the clans with extremely deep foundations can support their young people to own such treasures.

Lu Jing snatched this snow-drinking knife from Nan Xuehu at that time, but he just wanted to teach Nan Xuehu a lesson.

But I never thought that the Snow Drinking Knife really played a huge role after that.

At the very least, if he didn't have the sharpness of the Snow Drinking Knife, he would only rely on his Fury of Man's fate, as well as his own energy and blood in the Furnace Realm at that time.

I'm afraid it's still impossible to kill the big monk who is protected by the blood of the eminent monk.

At this moment, Lu Jing put the Snow Drinking Knife on his lap, closed his eyes, and felt the meaning of the Spring Thunder Knife.

The meaning of the knife is like thunder, flowing wantonly on this drinking snow knife.

The Yinxue Knife has a broad blade, although it is very sharp, it weighs three hundred catties.

The weight of three hundred catties is nothing to a martial arts monk. Lu Jing holds a three hundred catty snow drinking knife, which can only be described as easy.

But Chunlei Daoyi pays attention to a spirit that is full of vigor and power, overwhelming the world.

Drinking Snow Knife circulates qi and blood, but it is like snowflakes falling continuously, but it is not earth-shattering.

As far as the qi and blood bonus is concerned, although the range is extremely high, it does not come suddenly, but increases slowly, getting stronger and stronger.

This is also contrary to Chun Lei's sword intent.

It's just that Lu Jing doesn't have a good knife in his hand now, so he can only use the Xuexue knife to hone Chunlei's sword.

Lu Jing has never learned any sword skills until now.

However, it is only through the use of Mr. Jiu's chopping green mountains, combined with the aura of thunder and thunder, and combined with his own righteous fate, to cultivate such a special martial arts spirit.

So under certain circumstances, Lu Jing could only make one strike with a knife.

If someone else is close to him, coupled with the Spring Thunder Saber Intent, coupled with the Man's Fury fate, it can really be regarded as Lu Jing's life-saving method.

For the current Lu Jing, this knife is powerful and powerful, and the knife means that the winner will be determined, life and death will be decided.

"Your saber intent is indeed breathtaking."

Guan Changsheng was sitting not far away drinking alcohol. His face was already slightly flushed, but now it became flushed from drinking strong alcohol.

It was rare to have such a sunny day today, so Guan Changsheng and Lu Jing came to the pool where Mr. Jiu washed his swords before. Lu Jing practiced sword intent, while Guan Changsheng sat drinking and fiddled with the clear water in the pool.

Lu Jing didn't answer, and the knife intent on the Yinxue knife circulated for a long time before it stopped, and then he raised his head and looked at Guan Changsheng.

"Mr. Changsheng, that day when I stood beside this pool of green mountain in my hand, I felt the saber intent in it. Some of the saber intents were originally silent, but they started to vibrate because of your arrival."

Lu Jing's eyes were a little curious: "Mr. Changsheng told me before that when you were in Donghe Kingdom, you once killed the prefect with a knife in anger, and I didn't think much about it at the time.

Now that I think about it, the prefect is the head of a county in the Donghe country. Mr. Guan was able to kill the prefect alone. The Donghe country has repeatedly encircled and suppressed. Mr. Guan still left the Donghe country and entered the Northern Qin Dynasty. After training you into a puppet, Mr. came out of Beiqin and came to Dafu Taixuanjing again.

Thinking about it this way, Mr. Xiu must be extraordinary. "

Guan Changsheng stroked his long beard with his right hand, and said boldly: "In today's world, if you don't have one-third of what you have learned, how can you make your way into the world?"

Lu Jing didn't ask too many questions, but said with emotion: "The library is indeed called a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger."

"Naturally, there are countless capable people in the world, and there are leaders in every way. Lu Jing, you have a lot to do with your Spring Thunder Saber."

Guan Changsheng poured a glass of wine and snapped his fingers lightly.

The wine glass was wrapped in swollen energy and blood, and it came back steadily, and landed in front of Lu Jing.

Not even a drop of the wine in the glass was spilled.

He said again: "If you can keep improving, maybe one day in the future, you can also ask the sky with a knife, and ask this thief why it doesn't rain."

Hearing what Guan Changsheng said, Lu Jing couldn't help asking: "In the past, did anyone ask the sky with a knife?"

Guan Changsheng nodded and said with a smile: "The way of the sword is the glorious and righteous way in this world. If you can be the leader with a sword, the world is vast but you can go there as much as you want.

A long time ago, the leader of the Dao of the Sword raised his sword to ask the sky, the sword moved the stars, the stars sang together, and clouds and mists accumulated, and it rained heavily. "

Lu Jing raised his eyebrows slightly: "I don't know the name of this senior?"

Guan Changsheng shook his head slightly: "The deceased is gone, his past achievements have been turned into ashes, and the treasured sword in his hand has also been broken. Before he died, he raised his head and loudly said that he wished the world to forget his name. "

"It's been a long time, just as he said, even I have forgotten his name."

Lu Jing was a little surprised, but Guan Changsheng on the side laughed and said, "But I still remember his saber, it was called General Domineering, so people who still remember the leader of the Dao of Swords now call the deceased General Domineering." .”

"Domineering General? It's a strange name."

Lu Jing thought so.

"Today's leader of swordsmanship is not so mysterious. He is the Confucian scholar who has lost his sword energy for three thousand miles."

Guan Changsheng's eyes fell on the Yinxue knife, while he said with some hesitation in his tone, "I don't know if there will be another swordsman in this world in the future.

Now that you are still young, you have already cultivated a sense of grandeur, and you have cultivated a breath of spring thunder spirit. Coupled with your sword's sword intent to support the light, future achievements are indeed expected. "

"It's just like many people in Taixuanjing now call you a master of painting and calligraphy."

Guan Changsheng's tone was full of exclamation.

Lu Jing's eyes were somewhat astonished: "Calligraphy and painting...Shuangjue?"

Guan Changsheng drank boldly, then smiled sideways: "Don't you know? You drew a real dragon in the Shihua Pavilion, and the real dragon floated in the clouds. This scene has already spread throughout Taixuanjing.

Nowadays, many people say that there is a young gentleman in the library, with real dragon strokes, who can go to the clouds. "

In the past few days, Lu Jing has never participated in any literary conferences, nor was he invited to be a guest, and he only focuses on reading and resting every day.

Apart from Taixuan Palace, Book Building, and Yanglu Street, I seldom go to other places.

"It's no wonder that these days, Qingyue even said a few times that there are many more greeting cards and invitations delivered to the door."

Lu Jing thought so in his heart.

Guan Changsheng reminded again: "This saber of yours is not suitable for Chunlei Saber Intent. If you want to display the extraordinary power of this martial arts spirit, you need to change to a suitable saber."

Lu Jing nodded slightly, but said with a smile: "This knife was entrusted to me by a familiar person, not mine.

And... Famous knives and famous swords have a price but no market. It is actually not easy to find a good knives. "

Guan Changsheng nodded first, then shook his head slowly: "There are not many famous swords and treasures in the world that are handed down among the people, and most of them are controlled by wealthy mansions and imperial courts.

Even those very famous craftsmen, most of them have already belonged to the imperial court.

I know your temperament. If you want to get a good knife, it is not difficult. The difficult thing is not to owe others. "

When Guan Changsheng said this, his eyes moved immediately, he leaned over, and said: "Five days later there will be the entrance examination, you are Mr. Lou on the second floor of the study building, if you want to participate in the entrance examination, you only need to Just go to the gate of Taishu Pavilion to add your name to the list.

Probably you have already heard that the test questions in front of the palace are a pair of swords, called calling the wind and calling the rain.

Wouldn't it be better if you got these two swords? "

Lu Jing smiled casually and didn't say much.

The palace test is a bit far away for ordinary people.

But for many big houses and officials in Taixuanjing, it is a first-class event.

Early tomorrow morning, the ranking will be opened in front of the Taishu Pavilion. Only court officials of the third rank and above can nominate candidates, and those who are nominated can participate in the palace test.

But Guan Changsheng's interest seems to be only in the two swords that call for wind and rain.

"The imperial examination is different from the imperial examination. After winning, you can tell the vision in your heart to the sage.

If Mr. Lu Jing went to the palace test, took the two treasures of calling the wind and calling the rain, and continued to teach in the library, it would be an interesting thing. I can also take a look at these two treasures from Yang Jiehai. What is the difference between what is cast in the world. "

Guan Changsheng's eyes sparkled, and he looked at Lu Jing with a hint of encouragement in his tone.

Unexpectedly, when Lu Jing heard Guan Changsheng's words, he nodded slowly: "If I can get the Hufeng Knife or the Rain Calling Sword, I will show it to my husband."

Guan Changsheng was taken aback when he heard these words, and immediately put down the flagon in his hand: "Are you really going to add your name to the list tomorrow?"

Lu Jing nodded, thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Being in Taixuanjing, there are always many unsatisfactory things.

If he could wear the treasure bestowed by Emperor Chongtian on his waist, and if he could hold some power in his hands, he might not be so passive, nor would he be assassinated repeatedly. "

Guan Changsheng was silent for a while, then took out a new cup and poured wine for Lu Jing.

"Lu Jing, I'm much older than you, but I feel that being able to write that upright essay on killing evil at such an age can cultivate awe-inspiring spirit. You have the same heart as me. I think you have some ambitions for this world. Yes, that's why I buy you drinks so many times.

Now that we are all teaching in this Hanmo Academy, we also have the friendship of colleagues. If you encounter problems in the future, you can tell me. "

Guan Changsheng raised his wine glass to Lu Jing, drank it down, and said casually: "I have some reputation in Donghe Kingdom, if there is no army in the country to form a battle formation to kill me, I still want to go to the capital of Donghe Kingdom and ask Ask the walking dead on the throne, and ask him how he manages the gang of bureaucrats!

Now that I have come to the library to cultivate my body and mind, my spirit has become much calmer, but I can still draw my sword occasionally. "

Hearing Guan Changsheng's words, Lu Jing also drank the green plum wine in his cup.

For some reason, he suddenly remembered the letter from Princess Chong'an Si Wanyu.

"When people get along with each other, don't just look at utilitarianism, but occasionally there is affection in it."

Thinking this way in Lu Jing's mind, he never refused, just nodded with a smile.

……

Taishu Pavilion is located at the end of Qingyun Street.

Very close to the Taixuan Palace, the blue bricks and ink tiles are matched with the towering courtyard walls, and on the plaque at the bottom of the black jade enclosure, the holy king lightly inscribed the four characters "Taishu of the Country", making this vast Taishu Pavilion complex , looked extremely solemn.

On weekdays, except for the Taishu Pavilion ministers and many officials, there are actually very few people who come here to hang out.

At the intersection of Qingyun Street, there are often Qian Xianjun sending troops to guard, and there are still many Dafu Xuanyi hidden around.

But in front of the Taishu Pavilion on Qingyun Street today, things are quite different.

Many boys and girls came in sedan chairs or on horseback, got off their horses at the entrance of Qingyun Street, walked into Qingyun Street, and came to Taishu Pavilion.

The reason is that at this moment, in front of the Taishu Pavilion, a mysterious list has already been posted.

On the list, there are only a few taboo names, and there is also a paragraph of eloquent text on it.

These boys and girls came to Qingyun Street to see the list.

Young masters and young ladies from some big mansions came in person, but more court officials and generals from the mansions did send their servants to come.

All of a sudden, there were densely packed human heads in front of the Taishu Pavilion list, many people looked around one after another, and many servants came with paper and pens, but turned around and found that there were not many names on the list now. .

Looking carefully, there were only a few dozen people.

But the reputation of these ten people is more important than one.

The son of the champion general, Xu Xingzhi, who holds a knife in one hand and can move the world with his fists.

Ye Sheyu, the star-holding general of the Chaosu Xuan Army.

Li Zhiyun, the fourth younger brother of Li Guanlong in Shaozhu Kingdom.

The Chu family's young guest from Nanzhao crossed the river.

Qinglongjun, the youngest among the four guests under the prince's command!

……

Even in Taixuanjing, where capable people are born in large numbers, these names are extremely important.

Especially Xu Xingzhi, the son of the champion general!
The people in Xuandu didn't know until now that this martial arts genius who has been at the border for a long time and is known by the world as a master of both swords and fists, actually wants to participate in the front test!

Even Xu Xingzhi may have entered Taixuanjing quietly.

All of a sudden, many disciples of the big mansion couldn't help but look at each other in blank dismay.

Because most of the people who participated in this pre-temple test have already achieved success!
Xu Xingzhi fought with his father, and he has made a lot of military achievements. I don't know how many soldiers of the Northern Qin Dynasty died in his world-famous evil knife.

Ye Sheyu was born in a poor family, but now he leads an army. Although there is the shadow of the eldest princess who is far away in the Western Regions, General Chixing is not in vain.

Li Zhiyun is the fourth younger brother of Li Guanlong from the Shaozhu Kingdom. Although Li Zhiyun seldom goes out of the house on weekdays, and his reputation in Taixuanjing is not obvious, but as long as others have heard of Li Guanlong's name, they will never underestimate him!

As for the others, the same is true.

"There are three tests in front of the temple, the first two tests are martial arts and the second test of Yuanshen, and the literary test will be postponed for five days.

This year's Martial Dao Yuanshen Second Test seems to have very few participants, but in fact, one of them is randomly selected, and in previous years, all of them can easily win the front test. "

There are children from Dafu who talk to each other.

These young masters and ladies are in the center of Taixuanjing, so they naturally know that this pre-temple test has another meaning.

That was the first battle between the crown prince and the seventh prince!

One month ago, in Taixuanjing, it was still as calm as a pool of water.

Few people know about the doomed dispute between the crown prince and the seventh prince.

But in just one month, Taixuanjing's stroke gradually picked up, and the Seventh Prince was about to open the mansion. The Duke of the Chu family even went to the already built Prince's Mansion and planted a big tree in person.

Marriage bestowed by the Holy King, Li Wuhuang of the Li family in Xuandu is going to marry the Seventh Prince.

The reputation of the Seventh Prince had already spread throughout Taixuanjing, but since this month, the rumors of Taixuanjing have become more and more popular. It is said that the Seventh Prince has thought about it for nine years, but he has read all the articles in the world, knows the knowledge of various schools, and has cultivated a body that illuminates the stars. ...

The news doesn't seem surprising.

But if all these pieces of news are pieced together, what can be guessed will become even more astonishing.

Later, rumors started to spread.

It is said that the crown prince and the seventh prince are going to meet each other in front of the palace... It seems that the Taixuan Palace has also acquiesced.

all kinds of...

In the five-yearly palace test, the third-rank officials in the court rarely recommend others.

This also resulted in the fact that only a dozen or so people participated in this round of pre-temple trials.

But the list on today's list is unexpected.

Unexpectedly, even the names of Xu Xingzhi, Ye Sheyu, etc. who have already achieved fame will appear on the list.

"The names of several of them are on the list, and there will be no other names added today."

The list is displayed in front of Taishu Pavilion.

Some officials who have not yet recommended talents to the Taishu Pavilion can still enter the Taishu Pavilion today and add the names of those who participated in the examination.

But at this moment...

At the end of Qingyun Street, where the crowds were moving, there was a sudden burst of commotion.

Everyone turned around to look, but saw an extremely beautiful girl with a sword in blue clothes, walking slowly.

When the young girl came, everyone moved out of the way, as if a gust of wind was brewing in her body and bounced away everyone.

At first, the servants of the outer mansion didn't know who this woman was, but they had seen the nobleman for a long time, and they also knew that the woman in front of them had an extraordinary temperament, which was absolutely extraordinary.

But among the princes and ladies in front of Taishu Pavilion, some people only think about who she is.

After word of mouth, everyone showed some surprise on their faces!
"Nanguo government... Nanheyu!"

"There are actually people from the Nanguo government taking part in the palace test!"

"Nan Heyu is the swordsman of Xuandu, not to mention that she has a good cultivation, and she also has a feathered sword heart. If she wants to participate in the palace test with the rain-calling sword as the eye, how can the summoning sword be used?" Doesn’t Yujian belong to her?”

"It's not certain. Nan Heyu's swordsmanship is naturally excellent, but she is too young. Ye Sheyu and Xu Xingzhi are several years older than her."

"It should be the fourth son of the Li family who is under pressure, but I don't know how the fourth son of the Li family is in cultivation and swordsmanship."

Everyone has speculated...

"Nan Heyu came to the Taishu Pavilion, perhaps not for the test in front of the palace.

Why did the Nanguo government try to intervene in this palace?This is too unwise. "

Some people are very puzzled.

Nan Heyu's figure appeared on Qingyun Street.

With firm eyes, she walked step by step.

At this moment, her steps were steady and slow, but she seemed to have made up her mind to go straight to Taishu Pavilion.

Everyone moved out of the way one after another, letting Nan Heyu walk all the way to the front of the Taishu Pavilion announcement.

Before the announcement of the Taishu Pavilion, several officials of the Taishu Pavilion also looked at Nan Heyu, and someone hurriedly turned and entered the Taishu Pavilion, and then returned, shaking their heads at the other officials.

"Miss He Yu, the Taishu Pavilion has not been recommended by anyone, so I don't know if Miss is here, what is the matter?"

An old official saluted Nan Heyu and asked.

The eyes of the rest of the people fell on Nan Heyu.

But Nan Heyu didn't answer, but looked into the distance, and said softly: "He Yu decided to give it a try."

These words were spoken softly by her.

In an instant, a red glow suddenly appeared in the distance.

A silver dove flew from the void, riding the fire, with a letter in its mouth.

This strange pigeon flew so fast that it even turned into a ray of silver light, flew into the Taishu Pavilion and disappeared.

Soon.

Someone hurried out of the Taishu Pavilion, whispering a few words like that old official.

That year, the old official looked stunned, and immediately said loudly: "Nan Heyu was recommended by Dazhu Kingdom, so he has to take part in the hall for a test."

He finished his sentence in a loud voice, ignored the uproar of the crowd, turned around, picked up the pen and ink, and added a group of people's names on the list.

"Nanheyu!"

Seeing her name appear on the list, Nan Heyu's eyes became more determined.

"Since you want to hone your sword intent, and since you want to see the immortal swordsmanship, you should not hesitate any longer.

This can train my mind. "

Nan Heyu remained silent, turned around and walked out of the crowd.

Everyone moved out of the way one after another. Some who knew the inside story originally thought that the Nanguo government must have defected to the crown prince or the seventh prince.

Suddenly it occurred to him that Nan Heyu was recommended by Dazhu Kingdom, not the Nanguo government, and there might be some insider information about it.

Nan Heyu just walked on the street like this, heading towards Nanguo's mansion.

There must be a harsh punishment waiting for her in the Nanguo government, but at this moment, she doesn't care.

"It's not terrible to offend a few people and do a few things wrong."

"If you don't refine your temperament, how can you dare to pursue the truth of the world?"

Nan Heyu thought so in her heart.

"Did you take the wrong medicine?"

Just at this moment, a voice came.

Nan Heyu knew who the voice was without turning around.

The star-holding general wearing a white star mask took a few steps and came to Nan Heyu's side.

She frowned and looked at Nan Heyu.

Nan Heyu shook his head and said, "This matter only represents me, and has nothing to do with the Nanguo government."

"This matter will offend the Crown Prince and the Seventh Prince." Ye Sheyu frowned and said, "Do you want to become an official? Or do you want to get two third-rank treasures?
You have Qianxiushui, that sword can still get into your eyes? "

Nan Heyu understood that Ye Sheyu didn't know the secret of the two swords that call the wind and call the rain, but he didn't explain anything.

Ye Sheyu looked at Nan Heyu's silence, and was a little annoyed: "You are still the same as when you were a child, too stubborn."

After saying this, Ye Sheyu didn't say any more, but walked side by side with Nan Heyu: "It's okay, even if the sword falls into your hands, it's better than Li Zhiyun's."

"Except for you, there is no one else in Taixuanjing who is so bold."

Ye Sheyu didn't finish her words.

Suddenly, Nan Heyu suddenly stopped and frowned.

Ye Sheyu followed Nan Heyu's gaze.

But he saw Lu Jing in white, wearing a black sandalwood sword on his waist, walking step by step on Qingyun Street.

"Lu Jing?"

Ye Sheyu frowned: "Where is he going?"

Nan Heyu turned to look at Ye Sheyu: "Since we are here in Qingyun Street, where can we go?"

Ye Sheyu's face under the mask was stunned, and he shook his head immediately: "There are still many big houses on Qingyun Street. It is said that Mr. Lu Jing is still on good terms with Mr. Shoufu, maybe he went to Mr. Shoufu's mansion..."

"It's just that Lord Shoufu's mansion is clearly in front."
