The carvings of these nine flying dragons are lifelike, as if they are soaring above the nine heavens, although they are static, but the momentum they exude is like a dragon. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This is the Nine Dragons Steps, which is the only way to enter the Taiji Palace, and the nine flying dragons symbolize the Ninety-Five Supreme, where the royal majesty is fully displayed.

The guard led Yun Fei and the others to climb the Nine Dragon Steps, and the surrounding royal aura was surging like a tide, Yun Fei and they were all entering the palace for the first time, and seeing the royal style for the first time, they were somewhat excited and excited in their hearts.

Although it is very quiet in the palace, outside the palace, every restaurant and teahouse in the capital is talking about the competition of the palace test, and among the top six, who will pass the final game and become the top three appointed by the saint.

Indeed, on the surface, each of the top six is a strong master, and the realm between them is even more comparable, to eliminate three of the six people with such a strong strength, and select the final top three, I am afraid it will not be so easy, so it can be seen that the competition in the palace test will be so fierce.

The more intense the palace test competition, the more happy the spectators in the capital, people's eyes will always unconsciously look in the direction of the palace, the hearts of the people in Haichuan City are boiling, the whole city is happy, talking about who the winner of the top three is, it is a bloody thing today, in the capital where thousands of people are empty, and even some people are ready to do things, just waiting for the day when the list is released, to celebrate the champion and the top three winners.

This is a folk custom, every time the martial arts competition, in the final palace test to get the top three people, will ride a tall horse in the capital to walk a few laps, the whole capital people are on the day of the list to see the demeanor of the young talent.

It can be said bluntly that once you get a good result in the top three in the palace test, then the glory, wealth, power, status, etc. that a person wants will all succeed in one day.

Turning his gaze back to the palace, the guard led Hong Zhan and the others slowly walked through the Nine Dragon Steps, and what caught their eyes was a large-scale, magnificent hall, the hall covered a huge area, Yun Fei and they stood in front of the hall, and the sunlight above their heads was completely obscured.

This is the Taiji Palace, the largest palace in the imperial palace, where today's palace test was held.

The guard turned to Hong Zhan and said, "You guys wait here, I'll go and report,"

"There is labor," Hong Zhan bowed slightly.

I saw the guard slowly walk to the door of the main hall and whisper a few words to the sergeant standing guard, the sergeant nodded, turned around and walked into the Taiji Hall.

The guard then turned around and walked over, saying, "Someone has already gone in to report, you are ready, just wait for the Holy Lord to summon you,"

As soon as he said this, he heard a loud voice from the door of the Taiji Palace: "There is a decree from the saint, the candidates who participate in the temple examination will enter the hall now,"

This sound was only heard by Yun Fei and the others in high spirits, and they immediately straightened their clothes and crowns, and were led by Hong Zhan and Zhang Qi to the Taiji Hall.

As soon as they entered the Taiji Hall, they first felt a dazzling light, Yun Fei and the others couldn't help but close their eyes, and when their eyes were completely adapted to the light here, they saw clearly the source of the dazzling light, only to see that the entire hall was filled with golden light, the light here was stronger than the outside world, and this dazzling golden light came from the walls around the Taiji Hall, as well as the roof, as well as the ground, and even a few stout pillars hugged by several people, were also inlaid with golden gems.

Yun Fei and the others couldn't help but look down at the ground under their feet, the golden light reflected the faces of each of them in gold, this is worthy of the Taiji Palace, such a large-scale decoration, I am afraid that only the royal family can afford it.

Several people slowly walked to the center of the main hall, on both sides of the main hall, there were civil and military officials, since Yunfei and they entered the Taiji Hall from the moment they entered, the eyes of the civil and military officials all fell on them, everyone wanted to take a look, who will be the top six this year, and the top three in the palace test, which three of the six of them will be.

"Qi Qi Sheng, the candidates for the temple examination have been brought, please show the Holy Lord," in front of the civil and military officials, closest to Longtai, stood a young general, he bowed back, and said loudly.

At this time, I saw that on the dragon platform, behind the huge dragon chair, turned out a white-haired old man, this old man was wearing a golden dragon robe, although he was tall, but he was hunched over, he sat on the dragon chair slowly, and raised the face full of wrinkles, the wrinkles seemed to be the ravines in the mountains, and the face was full of traces left by the years, but from his overall appearance, when he was young, he must have been a handsome person, but even if he was the emperor of the Donglin Empire, he held hundreds of millions of lives in his hands, is in charge of tens of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and still can't escape the birth, old age, sickness and death in the world.

This old man is the emperor of the current Donglin Empire, Emperor Ming Zheng.

Emperor Ming Zheng sat on the dragon chair, he slowly turned his eyes to look down, only to see that in the center of the Taiji Palace, there was a group of people standing, Emperor Ming Zheng nodded, and finally said: "Everyone, the annual martial arts conference is an important way for the imperial court to absorb outstanding talents, and the imperial court attaches great importance to this, and hereby decides that the early dynasty will not be held today, and I will watch the palace examination with all the ministers, and the list of the top six will be submitted,"

"Yes, Your Majesty," the young general walked up to Hong Zhan, stretched out his hand and took the fold that had already been written in Hong Zhan's hand, turned around and walked up to the dragon platform, and presented the fold to Emperor Ming Zheng.

Judging from Emperor Ming Zheng's words just now, it shows that every martial arts competition is indeed valued by the imperial court, not to mention anything else, just say that today is the cancellation of the early dynasty, that is really the only day since Emperor Ming Zheng ascended the throne not to go to the court, Emperor Ming Zheng was originally a hard-working emperor, every day to work in the court, but every year he only has one day off, this day, is the day of the palace test.

Emperor Ming Zheng's eyes seemed to be a little bad, and he stared at the music for a long time before stopping, and said loudly: "I'm a little tired now, the palace test will be presided over by Chen Ting,"

Chen Ting was the young general, he first knelt on the ground to thank him, and then sent Emperor Ming Zheng to the back of the dragon chair.

Yun Fei watched Emperor Ming Zheng walk behind the dragon chair, and was very curious: "Why did this emperor retreat and only care about walking behind the dragon chair, could it be that there are any treasures behind the dragon chair?" Or is there a peerless beauty hidden? Looking at the appearance of the ministers, they should have been accustomed to this scene for a long time, and they don't know what secrets are hidden in it,"
