The news that Wu Kong heard at Suying is still quite secret.

However, after only a few days, the corresponding news spread widely.

Because, there are people from other state capitals who came to Dongji Mansion, although they did not deliberately publicize the news, but they could not hide it.

"How can this be? There is a problem with the leylines in the surrounding provinces? Such a coincidence?"

"It can't be a coincidence, it's possible ...... The real big thing is about to happen. ”

"What's really going on? Could it be that a whole big state on our side is going to have a problem?"

"Shhhh

"What ?!!!"

All sorts of strange news are circulating in the market. It is said that as early as many years ago, the luck of the Great Zhou Dynasty was already declining, but local officials did not report it.

Why didn't the imperial court find out? Because, in fact, the civil officials in each place only reported a part of the luck, and also withheld a part for themselves and their relatives and friends to use, which is tān ū, however, in recent years, the new luck derived from various places has become less and less, but weaker than before.

"In some places, it was reported that the luck under their rule had decreased, but other places did not report it together, and the people above the court suspected that the officials below felt that they were not greedy enough, and wanted to be greedy more and reported indiscriminately, so they ordered to apply for punishment, and even let those officials be punished for a crime of ineffective governance, and many officials were removed or transferred, so many places did not dare to report indiscriminately, and the matter was concealed.

"Some magistrates, as long as they are not dismissed, even if they can't withhold benefits, they will hold on to them first and retain an official position. However, some magistrates have to subsidize their own finances in order to maintain themselves. If it is not subsidized, the luck of handing over to the imperial dynasty will be weakened. Although it is possible to exploit the local area harshly, the imperial court has sent a supervision team to constantly come down to inspect, and these teams will not investigate whether a place is rich in luck or not, whether the output is normal or not, but only investigate the state of local governance and whether the people have grievances. What's more, without these supervision groups, it would be impossible for the Eternal Lord in the cities to watch himself being exploited like this, after all, he is not a mortal, he will be sued, or even secretly colluded in rebellion, etc., it is possible.

Therefore, recently, I heard that the number of people who voluntarily resigned was much higher than before, and one by one those who resigned left their posts because they no longer earned much from being officials. Now the latest news, not only our state, but also many state capitals in the Underworld Domain in the northwest direction have similar situations, which shows that it is not just a problem in one area at all, it may be the entire Great Zhou Emperor Dynasty......"

These rumors are secretly circulating among the living masters, and there are quite a lot of people who are panicking.

Wu Kong also inquired about one or two and learned a lot of rumors that were not optimistic.

"Is there really something wrong with the Great Zhou Emperor?" he was also puzzled, and Su Ying couldn't get good news from there.

"I'm worried that there may really be a problem in the Great Zhou Dynasty, so you should find a place to hide first, or change your identity and go to another city, so that we have more confidence. "Wu Kong is humane to Xuan Suxin and others in the inner world.

Soon, Xuan Suxin, Xi Ruxu and Su Yingxin were released one by one, hiding from everyone's eyes and ears, and quietly left.

No matter who has a problem with the four of them, the others can save each other, so the safety has been greatly increased, and Wu Kong is also relieved.

The current situation is a bit complicated, and it is difficult to ensure that when it is time to kǎo shì, the examination will suddenly be strengthened, and several people who live together will suddenly appear in Wu Kong's body, which is difficult to explain.

It was also during these days that Wu Kong heard some news related to himself.

Not long ago, there was a strong man from outside the Great Zhou Dynasty, who was said to have forcibly penetrated the border shield of the Great Zhou Dynasty and killed him in the Imperial Dynasty. ”

"Hmph, your news is outdated, and now, there are wanted lists posted in many places, and there is the name of the person named Wu Kong on them. ”

"Then do you know what kind of strength Wu Kong is?"

"I guess it should be above the three stages of the three realms of eternal life, right?"

", it is said that there is only the second stage of the three realms of immortality, and it hasn't been long since the breakthrough. ”

"What? It can't be, right? How can it be possible to force a narrow border into the border line and succeed?"

"Hehe, you don't know that......, do you?" Now that the luck of the Great Zhou Emperor is weakened, the number of qi is declining, there are problems everywhere, and the same is true of the boundary line, otherwise, why can that guy named Wu Kong successfully enter the Great Zhou Emperor's court? ”

"The Great Zhou Dynasty...... Is it true that luck has decayed?"

"Otherwise, why have so many officials left recently? Many of them are in the position of lord of the big city, or simply the lord of a mansion, and they are not canonized lords, and they have all resigned. And that Wu Kong, who invaded in, hasn't been caught for so long...... It's just a second stage of the Immortal Three Realms, even if it is a real powerhouse of the Three Realms of Immortality and Three Realms or even a higher realm, it should have been caught a long time ago, right? Why is the Imperial Dynasty so ineffective? This looks like there is something wrong with it. ”

"Well, it's a problem...... Alas, speaking of which, so many adults above have resigned, and now the candidates participating in the scientific examination, aren't they ......"

"Hehe, who said it wasn't? If the news hadn't come out before, it would have been an honor to participate in the imperial examination, but now...... Perhaps, some candidates feel entangled and do not know whether they should continue to participate in the imperial examination. ”

"Yes, if you participate in the examination and pass, you will be awarded an official from above, but you will resign directly after not being in office for a few years, how can this be justified? I am afraid that it is not a loss of office, but I will directly ask for the guilt and deliberately derelict my duties. ”

There are many rumors, noisy in the market.

Some people also questioned that if it was the Great Zhou Emperor's luck failure, why did it cause it? No one answered this dá àn, but they all looked worried. Some people think that it is not the emperor's luck at all, but the problem of the nearby state capital, but this is also a worrying thing...... Why is there a problem in the nearby state capital? Is there a large group of powerful people trying to do something behind it? Isn't this area quite dangerous?

Panic.

From time to time, rumors spread about the relocation of the palace, and there were even rumors that the lord of the city was ready to give up the position of lord.

"Why do you want to give up the position of lord? The luck obtained here, except for the needs of raising soldiers, can all go into your pocket. ”

"You only know one but you don't know the other, as a lord, it is of course a good thing, it is connected to the luck of a region, so every move can naturally lead the heaven and earth fortune of a party's territory, and the strength is strong, far exceeding the strong people in the same realm, and even being able to fight in adversity. However, this luck connection is both a good thing and a bad thing, just like mortals who climb a mountain together with a rope in their hands, if anyone falls, the others can pull and advance and retreat together, but if a group of people falls, and only one of them does not, then they are also pulled down together. For example, the emperor of the mortal world, the country is destroyed, how can the emperor survive alone, and the lord is the same, luck is connected, cause and effect are connected, there is a negative causal atmosphere here, and the change of luck is naturally retrospective cause and effect, if the city lord does not quickly cut off the luck connection with this land, he will definitely be involved, and will be polluted by the negative luck in it. Just like the family in the mortal world, one person rebelled and the whole clan was executed, this cause and effect is very serious. ”

When such news spread, the city lord was naturally quite angry: "Ridiculous!!"

Who is spreading such news indiscriminately? It is possible that someone deliberately spread it, or it may be that someone inadvertently spreads some gossip, and then someone is behind it.

But no matter what, the lord of the castle was quite angry.

Ordered, send soldiers to patrol the city, whoever dares to chew the root of the tongue, all of them will be arrested.

Cut off the heads of many immortal lords in a row, destroyed their primordial souls, suppressed and banned the true spirits, and imprisoned them, and some of the lords of the universe were bombarded and killed, so the city was destroyed.

After all, it is different from the environment outside the Great Zhou Emperor, here, not to mention the Lord of Immortality, even the Lord of the Great Thousand Universe level, it is also an extremely serious matter to be killed indiscriminately.

So the rumors in the city were gone.

However, it can be seen that the atmosphere in the city is still quite tense.

The city lord could only give orders many times, urging the people in the city to go out and kill demonized creatures to make meritorious contributions, so that he didn't have the heart to think about it more.

It's just that within a few days, Zhou Yunqian said goodbye and left, and heard that he was in a hurry to go to other state capitals.

This allowed some rumors to spread in the shadows, but they did not reach the ears of the city lord.

"Is there really someone secretly fueling the troubles? What is the purpose?" Wu Kong didn't understand, but continued to work hard to read.

Not for a long time, the liberal arts kǎo shì was carried out, and the theoretical assessment was conducted.

Entering the examination room, it is a huge space, where there are seats, with energy shields, the outside world can see the situation inside, but the inside can not see the outside situation, it can be said that many strong people in the city can supervise the examination room.

It's just that there are too many demonized creatures outside the city now, and many residents have gone out to kill monsters, and not too many people have come to watch the scientific expedition.

Wu Kong sat in the examination room, and felt a little awkward, others may not be able to sense many eyes outside the examination room, but Wu Kong can sense it clearly. The many sights outside made Wu Kong quite depressed, and it was not good to be stared at by so many people.

Fortunately, when kǎo shì is written, it is not directly written on the scroll.

Instead, there was a test paper in front of him, and when he started, he reached out and pressed it on it, and then the test paper released spiritual power, introducing Wu Kong into the illusion. This illusion can be escaped at any time, and it can be re-entered at any time.

In the illusion, an old man asked a question out loud, and Wu Kong had to answer.

All candidates, the number of questions they have received, whether they have answered correctly, and how many points they have given are directly marked outside.

Moreover, the audience can check the answers of these candidates at any time. Only the candidates themselves have no way of knowing how many points they have scored, nor do they know whether they have answered correctly or not, so they can only answer one question after another until the end of the kǎo shì.

"It's funny, others can't sense the situation outside the examination room, I can, doesn't that mean that I can watch others answer first, know dá àn, and then fill in dá àn directly? ”

Wu Kong was very happy. It's just that there is no single standard dá àn for many questions, or although there is dá àn, the way of answering them is also different, and Wu Kong needs to be flexible, otherwise it is easy to arouse suspicion.

He slowed down, and others answered him and then answered, so naturally he wanted to make himself right, and he made a deliberate mistake if he wanted to make a mistake.

If you continue to answer like this, you can get as many points as you want.

"In this way, I used to read the books in the bookstore, and I was almost in vain...... Well, it's not in vain, at least I have gained a lot of knowledge and insight, but it is not helpful for scientific research. ”

Of course, it's just different from everyone else. He guessed that he might have multiple co-living beings, or because he could connect with the light sphere space world inside the Founding Immortal Artifact on the other side, he had a stronger sensing ability.

"The liberal arts examination of the Great Zhou Dynasty is really transparent enough, the examiner has no chance to play if he wants to play the means, how to take the opportunity to reap the benefits? and...... These invigilators, not everyone in the city, must verify their identities and check if there are other creatures hidden in the inner world...... I see, I am worried that the candidates will let their co-nators watch kǎo shìdá àn outside. If there is a restriction and pre-screening, then the candidate will not be able to use this means...... Unfortunately, this trick really didn't work for me. ”

Over there, he was able to pass with a fairly good result, and now in this kǎo shì, Wu Kong even knows everything about what the correct dá àn is, and he can still see the current points of others, and it is not easy to make himself the top spear?

In this way, kǎo shì passed smoothly.

However, not long after the theory kǎo shì ended, the previous sessions had to be stopped first, but this time, the practical assessment was directly carried out, which made many people feel inappropriate.

"Perhaps, the rumors on the market are true? Something is wrong with this Great Zhou Dynasty? Or, is it that the government is going to be moved here? Otherwise, how can it be so urgent?"

But no matter what, the scientific expedition still has to continue.

What other candidates think, Wu Kong doesn't care, he just thinks about getting the knowledge he needs from the Great Zhou Emperor after passing, and then he will flash. The Great Zhou Dynasty is over?haha, he is not worried.

It's just that when officially kǎo shì, Wu Kong also discovered something unusual.

"No, there's something wrong with this exam room, and you've been passive? Or ...... In the East Pole Province region, there are problems in all the nether realms?"

Wu Kong found that the world contained in the dust particles here is full of sentient beings, insensitive, and it is difficult to spread faith and hope. It becomes difficult to think about the rise of civilizations in one world at a time.

"Every universe, every ordinary universe, every star and world, and more than 98 percent of the civilized world are declining? What kind of joke is this?!!

It's normal for civilizations to rise and fall, but some rise, others decline. Even if all intelligent civilizations are declining and humanity is declining, other living beings will take their place and become prosperous. But now, all civilizations are in decline, and ......

"Is it no longer a technical problem, not a problem with the seed of life of a certain race, but ...... Qi luck !! countless worlds, countless universes, and the luck of all worlds have collectively had problems!!"

Now, in this scientific examination room, Wu Kong has confirmed, it is true, the Great Zhou Emperor Dynasty's Dongji Mansion in the eastern Xinjiang region has really gone wrong! The situation is so serious that it is likely to exceed everyone's expectations.
