Chapter 18: Before the Temple Examination (II)
When the sun is born, the soft morning sun shines throughout the imperial city.
Lin Pingzhi and a group of people who passed the threshold of officialdom of the examination, under the escort of dozens of brocade guards with embroidered spring knives on their waists, accompanied by the "Hum! Airplanes! The low morning bell, followed by several eunuchs, walked into the core of the Ming Empire, the palace of the Son of Heaven - the Forbidden City.
According to the regular process of the palace examination in this world, they did not immediately go directly to the real examination room of the palace examination-the "Fengtian Palace" used for the Ming Dynasty meeting, but followed the few little eunuchs to a side hall first.
There, several officials of the Ministry of Rites would first teach these new imperial examinees some of the etiquette of the time of the Holy Meeting, and the etiquette of the court when the Son of Heaven personally asked for advice and answers.
For most of the people in this world, the "Imperial Palace Test" is the first and probably the only chance to face the saint in their lifetime.
According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty examination in this time and space, after the lifters have written the strategy of the palace examination, it is possible for the Son of Heaven to go down in person and ask the candidates who are optimistic about him, which is equivalent to the interview session after the written test when the company recruits people in later generations.
Of course, when today's son is not the diligent lord of the founding of the country, the probability of personally going out to ask for advice is very low, but who knows if there will be an exception?
Therefore, most of the people who did not have the opportunity to come into contact with these court etiquette before, they studied very carefully one by one.
The other small part, like Lin Pingzhi, who had been taught these etiquettes in advance because of a good and knowledgeable teacher, sat quietly on the inside of the side hall, or closed their eyes to recuperate and recuperate, or whispered to each other about the possible policy issues of the temple test.
As mentioned before, because of the power of the eunuch party in this round of imperial examinations, most of the people selected are non-Donglin faction scholars, so the lifters of the Donglin faction are actually faintly excluded by most of them.
As the world-famous Donglin successor Lin Pingzhi, and a few lucky ones also passed the exam, the lifter with the background of Donglin sat at the end of the side hall, looking extremely low-key.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Pingzhi closed his eyes, seemingly recuperating and rejuvenating like his companions beside him, but in fact, he was letting go of his spiritual consciousness and carefully perceiving the extraordinary power above the palace.
After passing the examination, he can already be regarded as a reserve official of the Ming Dynasty, and he can only barely perceive seven points of national fortune dragon qi when he gets the fame, because Lin Pingzhi has now become a real person in the system, and for the first time, he has revealed his true body of luck in front of him.
The first thing that came into Lin Pingzhi's perception was a huge pillar of national fortune standing above the Forbidden Imperial City and deriving vertically towards the sky.
Immediately afterwards, there is a meandering hovering on the pillar of national fortune, symbolizing the huge five-clawed true dragon that is the fortune of the Ming Emperor.
With Lin Pingzhi's current cultivation and eyesight, he still can't see the whole picture of the true dragon of fortune hovering on this pillar of national fortune, and can only judge from the lower body of the true dragon that is revealed from the pillar of national fortune below the clouds, and the dragon of the last generation of national fortune in Daqing, which was destroyed by Hong Tiangui himself, is not as long as the tail of the lower body of the true dragon of the Ming dynasty from beginning to end.
This Ming Dynasty National Fortune True Dragon surrounds and embraces the crimson Pillar of National Fortune, sacred and solemn, absorbing the credibility of the people in the Pillar of National Fortune all the time and turning into dragon energy.
Each piece of dragon scale on its body pulls the silk threads derived from the void like spider webs, and these silk threads are either turned into the noble family of the Ming Dynasty with the blessing of noble qi, or turned into the official spirit of the system and given to officials in various places in the Ming Dynasty.
According to the information excavated in the secret vault of the Daqing royal family in the later generations, the national fortune dragon qi and its derived power can almost suppress all extraordinary magic powers except for the "Witch Gu Nightmare Town Technique", especially in the Forbidden City, where the national fortune dragon qi is most concentrated, except for the peerless masters who have truly achieved the earth immortal or above, any immortal cultivator will be suppressed as if he was a mortal.
Even in the Qin Heavenly Prison, those "legitimate" monks with official status, every time they used a spell to observe the dragon qi of the national fortune, they would suffer a large amount of the power of the dragon qi of the national fortune and pay a lot of money.
The overall power of the dragon qi of the country is far beyond that of the ordinary, just like the saying in the Western transcendent realm, "mortals must not look directly at God", which is not something that ordinary people or monks can detect.
Of course, it is also the incarnation of great power like Lin Pingzhi, relying on the very high essence of the soul core, that he can take a look at the power of the national fortune dragon qi without stimulating the national fortune dragon qi.
But even so, after Lin Pingzhi observed for a quarter of an hour, he had to gather up his spiritual sense, and like the Donglin faction around him, he really closed his eyes and recuperated.
Lin Pingzhi's cultivation is still too weak, just observing a small part of the body of the national fortune dragon qi has already consumed a lot of his energy, but even if he just swallows the dates and doesn't see the whole thing, Lin Pingzhi, who has the blessing of the system, has already gained a lot.
After the elimination of the eunuch party in the future, the Chongzhen Emperor who has reversed the wheel and ruined the luck of the Ming Dynasty has not yet come to power, and the current national fortune of the Ming Dynasty is still stable.
In addition, he finally understood why this internal force chivalrous man in the Ming Dynasty had such a high status. For example, Lin Zhennan, a third-rate martial artist, can create a foundation as big as Fuwei Dart Bureau; A second-rate warrior outside Fuzhou City can occupy the mountain trade road for decades, and become a green forest hero.
The reason is actually very simple, this restraint transcendent spell can defeat the immortal cultivator into a mortal's national fortune dragon qi, and it actually has not much suppressive effect on the martial artist who cultivates the internal force martial arts! In other words, before the innate realm of martial arts, the internal force martial artist who truly transforms the internal force into true qi, that is, the spiritual power used by the cultivator, is almost useless.
"National Fortune Dragon Qi" can gather the world's credibility and integrate the joint force, and even according to the class semi-intelligence of the national system, the transformation of the corresponding value of the official qi, this is obviously not a natural birth of the power, that is the founder of the dynasties, the emperors of the Taizu who have left their names in history, through some kind of large-scale transcendent ceremony when the founding of the country, communicated the Jiuding Great Array combined with the credibility of the people, and created it.
In Lin Pingzhi's system database, this method is actually recorded, and it is also searched from the secret vault of the Daqing royal family in later generations, and its name is "The Secret Record of Human King Dragon Qi".
According to the records inside, the power of this "national fortune dragon qi", whether it is its original creator Wang Dayu, or the successors of later dynasties, did not take into account the "internal force", a new power born because of the end of the world, when setting the extraordinary power of suppression, just like the database of a "antivirus software" does not have the data code of the virus of "internal force", and there is no ability to detect and kill "internal qi" at all.
If it was before the end of the Dharma era, the transcendent sect revealed the world, and as the son of heaven who was the worldly controller of Shenzhou, he naturally had a way to ask the great powers of these sects to add the anti-virus program of "internal force" to the database of the "National Fortune Dragon Qi", after all, maintaining the transcendent and secular order was the common responsibility of those of them who stood on the top of the planet and had vested interests.
However, after the advent of the era of the end of the law, the great power of the immortals was far away from the mortal world, and the worldly great emperors and the official monks with low cultivation had no ability to modify the suppressive "database" of the "national fortune dragon qi", so the internal martial artists were unscrupulous and rampant in the world.
In the most chaotic era, heroes and demons emerged one after another.
They ignored the law and discipline, acted chivalrous and righteous, acted for heaven, robbed the rich and helped the poor, and even wantonly killed corrupt officials and corrupt officials, these lawless behaviors were the normal life of the unruly internal chivalrous knights of that era.
It wasn't until the birth of the major martial arts sects and the appearance of the six gates of the official power of the imperial court that there were finally some means to restrain the chaotic order on the rivers and lakes.
However, when the internal warriors were unrestrained in the past, the power they displayed and the damage they caused to the mundane also directly led to the status quo of their prominent status in the world in the thousands of years after the end of the law.

Time, slipped in the teaching of the officials of the Ministry of Rites in the side hall, Lin Pingzhi closed his eyes and recuperated, only felt that a trance, representing the "time", that is, the bell of 9 o'clock in the future has been ringing in the Forbidden City.
According to the palace examination process of the Ming Dynasty in this world, at this time, the explanations of the officials of the Ministry of Rites in the side hall ended one by one.
The few eunuchs who had led the lifters to this side hall before arrived again with dozens of brocade guards who were escorted.
After thanking the officials of the Ministry of Rites who taught them, Lin Pingzhi and the new imperial examinees around him stood up, arranged their robes, and followed behind the eunuchs with solemn expressions.
The palace examination is about to officially begin, and all the new imperial examinations are striding towards the "Fengtian Palace", where the elites of the entire top class of the Ming Empire are already waiting for the arrival of these proud sons of heavenΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
