Chapter 179: Joy, Anger, Sorrow, and Sorrow

No one talked about it anymore, and no one would delay the sergeants for even a second at such a time, because everyone knew that the time had finally come for the list.

Nervous and anxious eyes focused on the sergeant and the Imperial Academy, and at this moment, the air seemed to be a little frozen, and an invisible pressure slowly rose.

Even some candidates were so nervous that their faces turned a little blue.

Although Fang Zhengzhi doesn't care too much about the success or failure of the court test, it is unlikely that he doesn't care at all, so he began to look forward to it somewhat.

Yan Xiu seemed to have given up thinking all the time at this time, and began to look at the Imperial Academy.

Soon, a team of officials wearing black official uniforms finally appeared in everyone's sight, and each of them had a royal character on the chest of their official uniforms, representing their identity.

The person who was the leader knew it was the chief writer of the county test in Huai'an County, Qin Yumin.

After Qin Yumin walked out of the gate of the Imperial Academy, his eyes swept over the people at the scene, and he seemed to show a slight surprise.

However, there is no doubt about it.

In the previous editions of the literary examination, the candidates and courtiers naturally paid more attention, but the people of Yanjing City would wait more until the end of the martial arts examination to see the list.

However, this time is different.

Because......

There was a great miracle in this literary test, so all the people who could spare their time, as well as the passing vendors, crowded over.

Everyone wants to see what the results of this essay exam will be.

Qin Yumin didn't stand at the door for too long, he walked directly through the crowd and came to the two huge stones at the entrance of the Imperial Academy.

These two stones are a little different from those in Xinhe Mansion.

The whole stone of the list presents the appearance of a huge stone monument, which is as black as ink, and is at least twice as large as the stone of Xinhe Mansion in terms of height and width.

"This time the test. A total of 2,357 people participated, and according to the practice of previous sessions, the examination was also divided into two lists, A and B, with the top 20 in the first list and the top 21 to 200 in the second list. ”

When Qin Yumin said this, he also looked at the candidates and people who were waiting anxiously below.

After hearing the number of people participating in the test, the candidates were shocked one by one, and the participants of each session of the test will be announced, but the number of participants in this session is 500 higher than the previous one.

So. The odds of admission are even more precious.

However, this is only the literary examination, if you add the elimination during the martial arts examination, in the end, the people who can really pass the court examination will not exceed fifty places at most.

In two years, less than 50 candidates passed the imperial examination in the entire Great Xia Dynasty, and compared to more than 2,000 candidates, the chances were slim.

However, once passed. It is also equivalent to being able to really jump into the dragon gate and enter the court.

Qin Yumin didn't say any more useless words at this time, because he knew that at this time, everyone's most concerned thing was always the name on the list.

So. He also quickly pulled out a delicate square box made of pure metal from his arms.

The box is black, it is not clear what material it is made of, and it is engraved with different words on all four sides, as well as some ancient patterns.

"Click!"

The seal on the square box was opened by Qin Yumin himself.

And then. A square black jade stone also appeared.

All the candidates instantly became nervous, because, after this piece of ink black jade was pressed. It will also determine their future......

"Buzz!"

The inky black jade was pressed into the groove of the list stone by Qin Yumin's hands, and then, an incomparably dazzling light flashed on the huge list stone.

Names slowly emerged on the list.

The air in the entire scene froze to the extreme at this moment, and everyone's eyes widened, looking at the names on the list stone that had not yet been fully revealed.

They were so anxious that some of them forgot to take care of their purse.

In the crowd of black people at the entrance of the Imperial Academy, there were some figures who began to walk slowly through it, and there was no shortage of such people in any world.

This is also destined to be a day of surprises.

"It's out!"

"I seem to see my name, why is it gone?Why is my name missing?!"

"Ah, that's my name, it's just...... Why isn't the address in the back quite right?!"

More than 2,000 people participated in the morning test, and naturally there will be duplicate names, so the address of where it came from is also displayed after each name, as well as an additional test number.

so that queries can be made in case of indeterminacy.

As a result, there are many cases where mistakes occur......

It was a pleasant surprise, but after the surprise, it turned into a deep disappointment, so the people in the scene who were stimulated by this kind began to cry.

"Ah...... Why? Why is the same name not the same as Fu?"

"Obviously I got it, how could I not be hit? I must have made a mistake, I made a mistake......

Bursts of crying began to ring out in the crowd.

Other than that, there is real joy.

"I've been hit, I've really hit this time!"

"It's on the list...... I'm on the list!"

"Hahaha, I've worked hard for ten years, ten years of hard study, and now I've finally passed the literary exam!"

There are naturally such voices, but compared with those that fell off the list, there are obviously a lot less.

However, it is even more striking.

Whenever a guy yells, I'm hit, I'm hit.

can attract the attention of the surrounding crowd, all of whom have an expression of envy and jealousy.

Some candidates from the same prefecture and city, in addition to being disappointed, also began to congratulate and congratulate some of the candidates who made the list.

And just as everyone was celebrating and grieving each other, a few untimely voices suddenly rang out.

"There is no square integrity!"

"There is no square name on the Bangshi!"

"Is it really off the list?"

"Greedy but not specialized, it is natural to have such an end, I thought he could at least get a B list, but he fell off the list, he really deserved it!"

"It's better to be a down-to-earth person! Why force things that can't be done?"

When these voices sounded, there were some voices echoing in the crowd, and when everyone spoke, they subconsciously looked at Fang Zheng.

And Fang Zhengzhi always has a leisurely expression.

B list?

Fang Zhengzhi has always paid little attention to this list stone, at least, he doesn't think that his or Yan Xiu's name will appear on this list stone.

Yan Xiu also didn't pay attention to the name on this stone, even though he was only sixteen years old.

But he is a son of the Xiliang Yan clan, and this identity is not his capital to show off, but it is a huge motivation for him to spur himself.

None of the children of the Yan clan would have their name engraved on the second list.

Since the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty, there has been no such history.

Therefore, Yan Xiu will not do this either, in his heart, if he really makes it to the second list, it is not much different from falling off the list.

Yan Xiu's expression was a little indifferent, he was waiting.

Fang Zhengzhi is also waiting.

However, this does not mean that the public will feel that Fang Zhengzhi needs to wait any longer, because one step further is the first list of this court test.

There will only be twenty names on it.

And these twenty names, no one will ever think of Fang Zhengzhi.

Neither at the beginning of the court test nor after the court test began, no one had such an idea, the reason was simple, Fang Zhengzhi had just stepped into the Amaterasu realm.

This doesn't seem to be a reason to be too categorical.

However, this represents the strength of Fang Zheng, and there is a huge gap compared with the candidates who participated in the morning examination.

The top twenty in the entire Great Xia Dynasty, which one is not the elite on the Ascending Dragon List, and even, there are some who are strong enough to rank in the top twenty or thirty on the Ascending Dragon List, but they can't be on the list because of their age.

Those people are the biggest competitive forces in this test.

Forty-year-old Amaterasu!

After at least ten years of enlightenment in the Amaterasu realm, both in terms of foundation and understanding of the way of all things, it has definitely reached the deepest level.

The gap between such a person and a fifteen-year-old Amaterasu.

It can't be said about heaven and earth.

But at least, it is also the gap between the two worlds. (To be continued......)
