"Fifth Junior Brother, now that you have obtained the title of Wu Tongsheng, you must report to the Wu Academy in the county city before March, study in the Wu Academy for three months, and after passing the Wu Academy assessment, you can become a Wu Xiucai!"

Not long after the county yamen runners left, Third Senior Brother Xia Jiang also came to congratulate.

The Daqian Dynasty's Wushu Examination was held every three years.

The five levels of Tongshi, Yuanshi, Xiangshi, Huishi and Dianshi were all held in the same year.

The Tongshi was held in mid-February and selected by the county.

The Xiangshi was held in early June. Wu Tongsheng who passed the Tongshi assessment had to enter the Wu Academy in the county city to study for three months, and then be selected by the county city Wu Academy.

The Xiangshi was held in September and had to go to the prefecture city to be selected by the prefecture.

If you passed the Xiangshi, you would be a Wu Juren.

The next Huishi was held in December and had to be participated in the capital.

The Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War jointly presided over the selection of Jinshi who passed the examination to participate in the final palace examination. The palace examination is also called the imperial examination or the court examination. The emperor personally set the questions for the examination, and then the Jinshi were divided into three classes.

There are only three people in the first class, namely Wu Zhuangyuan, Wu Bangyan and Wu Tanhua.

The second class is granted the status of Wu Jinshi, and the third class is the same as Jinshi.

"Thank you for your reminder, senior brother. I won't miss the time."

Zhou Shan nodded.

With his strength, it is not a problem to pass the academy examination and become a Wu Xiucai.

However, if you want to pass the provincial examination and become a Wu Juren, there is a quota limit. When you are lucky, you can pass the examination at the second level of bone forging tiger bone level. If you are unlucky, there are geniuses in all counties. Even if you reach the second level of bone forging perfection and cultivate the blood and blood wolf smoke, you may not be able to pass the provincial examination and become a Wu Juren.

However, it is only mid-February now, and there are still six and a half months before the provincial examination starting in September.

More than half a year is enough for Zhou Shan to greatly improve his strength.

The fourth year of Yongchang, February 18th.

The night before the martial arts students of Baisha County agreed to go to the county town.

Zhou Shan's spiritual connection in his mind emitted fluctuations, and the crab monster and the red-scaled snake discovered something. He immediately went out and came to the newly built fishing dock, and slowly left with the black-sailed boat.

After a while, the red-scaled snake appeared and carried the black-sailed boat forward in the water.

A few hours later.

Zhou Shan came to Shiqiutuo, where the underwater terrain was complex.

After arriving at the destination, Zhou Shan followed the crab monster and the red-scaled snake into the water.

The water depth here exceeded 70 meters, and there was a large crack more than 5 meters wide on the bottom of the water. This large crack was unfathomable. Zhou Shan released his spiritual power to explore, and the depth of the large crack was also more than 30 meters.

"This is..."

After exploring with his spiritual power, Zhou Shan soon found a stone cave in the large crack.

The stone cave was surrounded by black vines.

On these black vines, there were fruits as big as blueberries.

Seeing these fruits, Zhou Shan seemed to smell a "fragrance", which was not smelled by the nose, but the "fragrance" perceived at the spiritual level.

This is the second-level treasure plant soul-nourishing fruit, which has the effect of warming the soul and improving the spirit.

At the same time, Zhou Shan went deep into the stone cave covered with black vines and found that there was a skeleton and a loach monster over three meters long in the cave.

"Squeak..."

The loach monster immediately made a sharp squeak when it found that a monster had entered its territory.

At the same time, an invisible force hit Zhou Shan's spirit.

"This loach monster actually mastered the spiritual power!"

When Zhou Shan felt this invisible power, he was very familiar with it.

This is the spiritual power he has always relied on.

It's just that this spiritual power is much weaker than his.

If you make a comparison, it should be equivalent to his spiritual attribute just breaking through 100 and reaching the level of "spiritual mist". Compared with this, his spiritual power is like an egg hitting a stone.

This loach monster must have eaten the soul-nourishing fruit, which made its soul spirit so strong that it gave birth to spiritual power. Moreover, this loach monster's use of spiritual power was very superficial. It only knew how to use spiritual power in conjunction with screams to attack in a way similar to sound waves, and did not master the relevant spiritual secrets.

For Zhou Shan, the spiritual attack of the loach monster was like a drizzle on his face and waves hitting the towering mountains. It did not pose any threat to him at all and could not shake his spirit in the slightest.

At the same time, Zhou Shan mobilized his spiritual power to fight back.

The two different spiritual powers collided, and the loach monster's spiritual power was instantly defeated.

At the same time, Zhou Shan's spiritual power invaded the loach monster's spiritual sea of ​​consciousness, and began to perform the soul-scaring technique, condensing spiritual talismans in the loach monster's spiritual sea of ​​consciousness.

This loach monster has never eaten a person, so it can be controlled mentally.

Time passed little by little.

Compared to controlling the crab monster and the red-scaled snake, Zhou Shan spent more time to establish a spiritual connection in the spiritual sea of ​​the loach monster. After half an hour, Zhou Shan condensed a spiritual talisman in the loach monster's spiritual sea of ​​consciousness, completed the control, and established a spiritual connection between the two.

After controlling the loach monster, Zhou Shan swam towards the stone cave in the big crack.

Pushing aside the black vines at the entrance of the stone cave, the stone cave was also full of black vines, and deep in the black vines was a crystal clear, but cracked white skeleton.

"The bone density of this white skeleton is even higher than mine."

Zhou Shan's mental power swept over and determined that this skeleton must have been a martial arts master in his lifetime.

Because even if he had cultivated iron bones, his bones were not as hard as this skeleton, but the bones of this skeleton were covered with dense cracks, indicating that the other party died abnormally.

When Zhou Shan's mental power swept over, he also found a few lines of words on the stone wall behind the skeleton.

"I am the true disciple of the White Bone Dao... I chased Da Zhou... to Canglan River, but I was ambushed and my soul collapsed... I was seriously injured... I will not live long, and I drifted here."

"The destined person... You can send my body back to this place..."

"Jingzheng... Year."

Zhou Shan's mental power swept over the words on the stone wall.

But because it was too long ago, most of them were blurred, and only a few could be recognized.

"The year is Jingzheng, which is at least more than a hundred years old!"

Zhou Shan recalled the year of Daqian.

The year of Daqian today is Yongchang, and now it is the fourth year of Yongchang.

The last reign was Taishun, which lasted for 55 years.

The last reign was Yuanqing, which lasted for 66 years, and the last reign was Jingzheng.

Even from the end of Jingzheng to now, it has been more than 120 years.

After more than 100 years, the skeleton's bones have not decayed, and the bone density is far higher than Zhou Shan's own bones, which means that this skeleton had at least reached the level of blood exchange in the fourth realm before his death, and it may even be higher.

(I will rush to Sanjiang on Monday. I hope all readers can read it tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.)
