The spring rain that had been lingering for several days quietly stopped on the important day of the opening of the Enlightenment Academy, and the sunlight in the sky was exceptionally clear, with some warmth to dispel the dampness and cold of the previous days.

Li Molan sat in the carriage, lifted the corner of the curtain, and looked at the scenery on the street outside Wutong Lane in the south of the city.

Some candidates who looked like scholars hurriedly bought a few steamed buns, and then ran wildly on the street without paying attention to their image, running towards Yichang Street.

Naturally, they couldn't rent a carriage because of the entanglement of these poor scholars, and the journey from here to the Enlightenment Academy was extremely long, so they had to hurry up.

The people of Lin'an walked between the markets with a smile on their faces, and some shop owners who Li Molan often went to buy cooked food saw the young man in the carriage with his head exposed, smiled and beckoned, and he also nodded in greeting.

Occasionally, there will be some voices calling friends and talking and laughing, but it will wash away the tension of the exam.

Although he has self-confidence, he has not seen the exam questions over the years - the kind of cultural literacy brought by him in his previous life, it is not a big problem to fight against such an exam, but after all, it is an exam that determines the direction of life in a sense, and the degree is no less than the college entrance examination, of course he still has to worry and be nervous.

For example, will my beautiful handwriting make the professor who marks the test paper feel too girly? Will the answers I analyze in a scientific sense be mistaken for deviant? Will the poems I write not conform to the world's outlook on life and values?

I don't know how long it took, but I was obscured by some willow with fresh green, and when I raised my head, there were only fragments of the sky in the gap, and the carriage stopped--the crossing from the south of the city to Yichang Street was now blocked by no less than dozens of carriages, and even Yichang Street, which was one hundred and sixty meters wide, could not clear this congested traffic for the time being, and the horse-drawn carriages rented by the candidates were concentrated on the streets of Yichang Street.

It seems that the problem of traffic congestion is the same in all worlds.

It is said that there are no less than 3,000 candidates from all over Beihai in the opening examination of the Enlightenment Academy, and only a little more than one-tenth of them have the financial ability to rent a carriage.

However, there are at least more than 300 carriages in this way, and there are already many pedestrians and carriages on Yichang Street, and more than 300 carriages suddenly appeared, can it not be congested?

It's just that the time is still early, and there is still a while before the opening ceremony of the Enlightenment Academy, but there is no hurry, Li Molan sat calmly in the car, and repeatedly recited some scriptures that he was not familiar with.

This is his only weakness, because the scripture commentaries to be written silently in the exam are things that he has never learned in his previous life, and he does not have an innate advantage, so he can only rely on staying up late to assault.

Exams, when they are placed, are annoying and nervous.

After about ten minutes, with the Lin'an Mansion sending people to help clear it, the congested carriages and horses finally found some alleys and alleys and dispersed, so that Li Molan's carriage could continue to move forward.

Although Lin'an Mansion is the political institution of Lin'an City, and it is also an administrative institution completely controlled by ordinary people inside and outside, everyone knows that Lin'an Mansion is something that completely belongs to the Daomen.

It's just that Daomen has always regarded itself as an umbrella for the people, and naturally it will not be sloppy when governing Lin'an City, so whether it is Daomen itself or Lin'an Mansion, the reputation is excellent, and it is said that it is also very avant-garde to adopt the election system, and the people of Lin'an will elect the governor of Lin'an Mansion.

Thinking of some of the things that were not available, Li Molan's carriage struggled to squeeze out a bloody path at the intersection of the south of the city and Yichang Street, and headed towards the Enlightenment Temple.

On the road, you can see some Lin'an officials wearing official clothes and the commander of the Lin'an City guarding the city wearing thick armor walking towards the east of the city.

In addition to guarding this one of the few heroic cities in the world, they also work part-time to protect nearby towns from robbers and maintain law and order in the city.

Of course, whether it is the city defenders or Lin'an Mansion, it is all Daomen's own things.

Today, the status of all the examinees who go to participate in the opening assessment has been raised to the peak in an instant, for the Enlightenment Academy, or for the Daomen, each of these candidates may be the new blood of the future development of the Daomen, representing the future of the Daomen.

Therefore, it is not inconceivable that today's candidates are more important than the officials of Lin'an Prefecture, more important than the commanders who command the garrison of the city, and more important than the wealthy merchants who contribute taxes, at least in the next few days, these words will become a reality.

There is a gate on the White Lotus Holy Mountain, and there is a city at the foot of the holy mountain.

The White Lotus Sacred Mountain is located in the east of Lin'an City, and the Enlightenment Temple in the east of the city is connected with the only mountain trail up the White Lotus Sacred Mountain, the east gate of Lin'an City.

At the foot of the sacred mountain is the temple of enlightenment.

It is a huge and magnificent temple that has experienced thousands of years of ups and downs, and has the same long history as Lin'an City, and has produced countless amazing and brilliant figures.

This is where Li Molan also wants to get in.

......

......

There were a lot of people at the end of Yichang Street, and many people from Lin'an City gathered here, and they quietly watched the candidates walk out of the crowd in turn and enter the gate of the Enlightenment Academy.

If you see a local acquaintance, there will be a wave of cheering.

Different from the solemn and closed picture of the past, today's door of the temple is wide open, and standing outside, you can see the looming pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, as well as the verdant meadows and weeping willows.

Li Molan walked out of the crowd, and occasionally some people would greet him - in the past three months, this handsome young man in a scholar's shirt who is unforgettable to see has often wandered in the streets and alleys of Lin'an City, and there are indeed many people who know him, including the storyteller of the tea shop, the owner of the restaurant, the owner of the wine shop who sells cottage boiled flower stones, the vendor who sells rouge powder, and even the top girl in the green building.

Li Molan smiled and nodded at them, signaling that she would cheer up.

In fact, he didn't know these people very well, and even the little girl in the Qinglou had only chatted with him for a word or two, and she hadn't even said her name.

It's just that Lin'an people have always been familiar and enthusiastic, and he naturally has to respond with the same amount of enthusiasm and smiles.

Follow the other candidates with a restrained face to enter the temple, and cross a small marble bridge along the stone steps at the entrance, the stream below the bridge is very clear, and the most important thing is that you can clearly see koi fish swimming and frolicking inside, and they are all extremely fat.

If you can grab it and bake it, it will taste good.

Thinking of this, Li Molan had unconsciously walked into a rain-sheltering corridor, he walked calmly in the crowd, looked at the surrounding scenery with some curiosity, and admired the majestic scenery of the Enlightenment Temple.

The movements of the candidates around them were very stiff when they walked, and the atmosphere was quiet and terrifying, probably because they were shocked by the atmosphere in this enlightenment temple.

Li Molan's eyes were calm, looking at the carvings on the red oilwood pillars produced in Songzhou, as well as the bluestone paved roads, she felt like a young soldier who was about to rush to the battlefield.

Walking inside, you can see a wide stone lawn in the middle of the pavilion, and many people have gathered on the stone lawn.

Different from the quiet rain corridor, the candidates here stood together in twos and threes, cheering each other up and talking, deliberately talking about the topic of the world and the north to hide their lack of self-confidence, making some noise on the stone lawn.

Li Molan walked into the crowd expressionlessly, maintaining the appearance of not approaching anyone, and she was not interested in talking to the candidates around her.

His eyes glanced at the small wooden pavilion around him, and he vaguely saw a familiar figure.

......

......

Zi Xiaoxiao was standing with a few gray-haired old men chatting about something at the moment.

They stood together on the second floor of a small building, their eyes were calm, but the little girl's expression was obviously fluctuating, and she didn't know if she had encountered something, and she couldn't be as calm as the two old men around her.

"Huh?"

Standing on the second floor of the small building, Zi Xiaoxiao, who was dressed as a female disciple of the Daomen, obviously also found Li Molan in the crowd, and when she found that this kid had withdrawn his gaze without a trace, unwilling to look at herself, she was a little annoyed for some reason.

"What's wrong?"

Mr. Kong He, one of the professors of the Enlightenment Academy, stood beside her and suddenly discovered that this female disciple's mood was wrong, and he was a little surprised.

"Nothing. ”

Zi Xiaoxiao shook her head.

Kong He is an elder of the Daomen, and his strength is unfathomable, because he is too idle, so he ran to the Enlightenment Academy to teach after asking the Holy Maiden, and served as an ordinary professor.

And his only disciple, Zi Xiaoxiao, also happened to be in the position of teaching in the Enlightenment Academy, responsible for teaching students, which made people wonder if this white-haired old man was lonely on the holy mountain and did not have his own little apprentice to accompany him, so he followed his apprentice to the Enlightenment Academy.

"Xiaoxiao, what about the holy woman, the opening ceremony is about to begin, the holy woman always has to be present, right?"

Another old man said.

This old man's name is Zhao Ziyuan, he is the dean of the Enlightenment Academy, and he is also an elder with a very high status in the Daomen, and even taught the young saintess for the previous saint when he was young, and his status in the Daomen is far beyond that of ordinary elders.

"Xing Yao, she just flew a pigeon to tell me that the Holy Maiden is in bed again, and she can't get up, Xing Yao She is waiting for the Holy Maiden to get up and wash, and she can probably arrive in the middle of the opening ceremony...... Right?"

Zi Xiaoxiao said a little depressed.

The tone was visibly uncertain.

"This ...... Hahahaha......"

Zhao Ziyuan, the president of the Wudao Academy, and Kong He, the professor of the Wudao Academy, looked at each other when they heard this, and then laughed.

Zhao Ziyuan wiped his tears with a smile and said with a smile: "Compared to the one five years ago, it is already much better." Five years ago, our saintess didn't even release the pigeons, which made many young men who admired her regret. ”

"Five years ago, they were standing in the middle of this group. ”

Zi Xiaoxiao shook her head helplessly, "The Holy Maiden is really naughty. ”

"Disciple, you have to let the Holy Maiden hear this, even if she doesn't teach you, Long Xingyao's girl will definitely not be able to spare you. ”

Old Professor Kong He said with a smile.

Long Xingyao is the personal maid of the Daomen Holy Maiden, and she is also one of the most outstanding female disciples in the Daomen.

"Hmph, she dares...... How dare she. ”

Zi Xiaoxiao's face changed slightly, stuck out her tongue, and said, "Dean, master, you two old people must not say it." ”

The two respected old men glanced at each other at this moment, and suddenly said with a straight face: "We will never shield anyone. ”

Zi Xiaoxiao's face darkened: "I don't know, Lord Dean, don't pretend to be garlic, master." ”

Professor Kong smiled and said, "Okay." ”

In front of his beloved disciples, he has always been such an old and uncultivated naughty boy.

"Your Excellency, Dean. ”

Zi Xiaoxiao smiled sweetly, turned her head and looked at Zhao Ziyuan: "The last time you ran out and had a merry affair, you asked me to take a substitute for you, and you said that you owe me a favor." ”

Zhao Ziyuan, the dean of the Enlightenment Academy, smiled, his gray beard trembled gently in the breeze, and said, "Okay, you know the old man's mouth, don't worry, it won't leak!"
