On Chinese New Year's Eve, in the early morning, in the northeast corner of the Imperial Palace of Shendu City, far from the downtown area, the sound of reading aloud wafted out from a palace city.

------ Jixia School Palace.

Grabbing the sting. For countless years, I don't know how many scholars have studied here, and then they have become officials and ministers to benefit one party. Even the imperial examination of the imperial court, if the selected jinshi is not recognized by the Jixia Academy, it will not be accepted by the people of the world.

It is located on an area of 1,000 acres, like a city within a city.

However, unlike the Imperial Palace, the Jixia School Palace is not taboo for outsiders to enter, and everyone who sincerely wants to study can easily enter the School Palace, but if it is a ghost, it will only stop at the gate of the Palace, which is said to be caused by the pen and ink of the Wensheng in front of the Palace of Learning.

The school itself also admits a significant number of students each year.

These students are either commoners or nobles, and the school palace will treat them equally, without any favoritism, and a considerable part of these students will stay in the school palace after leaving the school, become the tutors of the school palace, or continue their studies, and over time they will become the national eunuch in the eyes of the world.

Among the palaces, there are eleven of the most striking buildings.

Three of the main halls are located in the center of the palace.

On the left is the Spring and Autumn Palace, which is rumored to have recorded the historical materials of the past dynasties, and there have been countless emperors who want to go in to check their evaluations in the history books, but they are all turned away, and so far, no one even knows how many dynasties Guozijian has experienced.

On the right is the Haoran Palace, which is the largest collection of books in the world, poetry and songs, statecraft, military books, and even some boudoir secret books, and every student who comes to the country to study can freely enter and exit this palace and choose the books they want.

The center is the Taiji Palace, each imperial examination of the final palace examination, in addition to the test by the emperor in the palace, but also must be tested in this Taiji Palace, for countless literati, if one day can enter this Taiji Palace, it is considered to be in vain.

The remaining eight buildings are located in the eight directions of the palace, and they are not palaces that are used daily, but are places of worship similar to the temple, and every year they are presided over by the great sacrificial wine of the kokukoji, and grand ceremonies are held in the eight halls in order.

The festival is held at the time of the change of the old and the new every year.

Chinese New Year's Eve.

Therefore, as early as this morning, the tutor who directly belonged to Guozijian hung a big square sign at the gate of the Jixia School Palace:

------ have to admit that

Guozijian is still very down-to-earth sometimes.

After the closure of the Jixia School Palace, the usual sacrificial activities immediately began inside the Guozijian, and the tutors changed their regular clothes one after another, put on the special costumes for the ceremony, and then waited in groups in front of the Taiji Palace, until the contemporary big sacrificial wine, Tao Xinzheng slowly walked out of the hall.

Immediately afterwards, many Confucian scholars bowed down in unison and said:

"I've seen the teacher."

"Hmm."

Tao Xinzheng nodded, he looked like he was only thirty or forty years old now, but for these Confucian scholars in the audience, as early as when they were still ignorant teenagers and had just entered the Guozi Supervision School, this great sacrificial wine was already like this, as if he would not be old.

"Go to prison, just like in previous years."

"Yes, Teacher!"

The Confucian scholars immediately took action, and after a while, they were divided into eight teams, each slaughtered cattle, sheep, and pigs, and then filled bronze Yi bottles with their blood, and then each walked into the temple of the eight directions, and poured it on the ground.

After doing all this, all the Confucian scholars sat on the ground and scattered among the eight temples. Only Tao Xinzheng remained at the door of the Taiji Hall.

According to the practice of previous years, this was the time for him to read the prayer.

But today he didn't speak immediately.

Until half an hour has passed,

Tao Xinzheng suddenly raised his head, looked at the clear clear sky above his head, and said, "Since the distinguished guests have arrived, why cower? ”

巘戅巘戅。 "Boom!"

As soon as Tao Xinzheng's words fell, a thunderclap sounded in the sky above the entire Jixia School Palace, and then four beams of light fell from the clouds one after another.

Heavenly Saint Emperor.

King Taiyu.

Huiguo.

Golden Cicada.

The divine intent of the four human immortals was unreservedly released at this moment, as if a flood had burst its embankment, and it swept through the entire Jixia Academy Palace in an instant.

However, what is surprising is that Rao is like this, and the Confucian scholars who are in the eight sacrificial halls at this time still look unaware, completely unaware of the monstrous power of the four immortals, or close their eyes, or drop their ears, aiming to wait for Tao Xinzheng to read the sacrifice.

On the other side, Tao Xinzheng also swept his gaze away from the four Heavenly Saint Emperors.

Then I saw this world-renowned Guozijian Grand Sacrifice Wine, bowing slightly to the Heavenly Holy Emperor:

"I've seen Your Majesty."

"Excuse me...."

As soon as the Heavenly Saint Emperor's words came out, the expression on his face immediately became gloomy. Because he was only halfway through the words, Tao Xinzheng straightened his waist.

No king and no father!

While the Heavenly Saint Emperor was secretly scolding in his heart, he showed a disapproving smile on the surface.

After all, now it is his own request, not to mention that the strength of the other party is also unfathomable, so the Heavenly Saint Emperor did not make a difficulty, but secretly urged the divine will:

"Great Sacrifice Wine, can you elaborate on the letter you gave me before?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry."

Tao Xinzheng did not reply with divine will, but said directly: "There are still two distinguished guests who have not arrived, and when they come, the ministers will solve their doubts for Your Majesty." ”

Two more guests?

When everyone heard this, their hearts immediately sank, especially the Heavenly Saint Emperor, although he had already guessed in advance, but it really happened that made him a little out of shape.

"Click!"

It didn't take long for the sound of glass breaking to sound, and then two figures were seen walking out of the void with their heads held high, one behind the other.

"Lu Xingzhou....!"

The moment he saw the other party, the expression of the Heavenly Saint Emperor was distorted, but his feet moved back imperceptibly, looking extremely contradictory.

And Lu Xingzhou glanced at the Heavenly Saint Emperor, and even though he withdrew his gaze, this silent contempt and silence made the Heavenly Saint Emperor almost go crazy with hatred.

As for Huiguo, he looked directly at Xiao Yuyu behind Lu Xingzhou.

Grabbing the sting. "Isn't this man hostile to the golden cicada? Why did you come with Lu Xingzhou? ”

"Could it be that you are feeling lonely?"

"Huddled?"

Huiguo frowned slightly, and thought about it in his heart, but at the same time, he saw King Taiyu suddenly speak: "Now everyone should be here, right?" ”

However, surprisingly, Tao Xinzheng shook his head again:

"Not yet."

No? Aren't the six immortals in the world all here?

Is there anyone else hiding?

Impossible!

When everyone heard this, they suddenly had a look of surprise, only Lu Xingzhou's expression remained unchanged, and at this moment, there was a roar outside the Jixia School Palace again:

"Bang!"

In the rumbling sound, soon several figures walked into the Jixia School Palace under the leadership of several Confucian scholars, and appeared in everyone's field of vision.

Four of them were the first to walk out and bowed in the direction of the landing boat:

"The disciple has seen the ancestor!"

“.... The national teacher is courteous. ”

Pei Xunzhen, An Yueyao, Yue Wancheng, the three lucky protagonists who should have stayed in Fuyun Mountain, all appeared here at this time, without exception! Even the sect master of the East China Sea Sword Sect, Chen Yisheng, who had previously taken refuge in the Heavens and moved to Fuyun Mountain with his family, came!

In addition to them, the rest of the people also saluted:

"Your Majesty has been seen."

The Heavenly Saint Emperor's pupils shrank suddenly: "Jing Han.... Shaba.... And you... Yue's son? Yue Ye!? ”

"I've seen the abbot."

The smile on Jin Cicada's face stiffened slightly: "Miaojue.... Temple Wishes....!? ”

Obviously, except for Lu Xingzhou, neither the Heavenly Saint Emperor nor the Golden Cicada expected that their subordinates would appear in the Jixia School Palace.

What's going on!

Are they also valued guests?

As if sensing the suspicion of the Heavenly Saint Emperor and the others, Tao Xinzheng suddenly spoke: "Don't be impatient, you guys, in this way, the distinguished guests will be counted." Six human immortals, peak martial saints, when the world is arrogant, such as today's luck, eighty percent are here, and it can be regarded as a complete merit. ”

Everyone frowned and pondered when they heard this, but only one person said with a big grin:

"What do you mean, old man? We should come and see you choose the next Great Priest, right? ”

“..... It's you. ”

Tao Xin was in response to the prestige, and a smile appeared on his indifferent face: "Xiao Yuyu, maybe you are the next Great Sacrifice Wine." ”

As soon as Tao Xinzheng said this, everyone's expressions suddenly changed.

What do you mean?

The next Grand Priest ...... Choose from among us?

For a while, everyone was a little surprised, but Tao Xinzheng was unconscious, and when his eyes turned, he looked in the direction of Lu Xingzhou again:

"But it's actually you that I like the most."

"Huh? Like me? Lu Xingzhou blinked, looking at Tao Xinzheng's middle-aged and handsome appearance, and a chill suddenly appeared in his heart.

"Senior Tao, I won't sell Guanzi anymore."

I saw King Taiyu take the lead in walking out, but he first bowed respectfully to Tao Xinzheng, and then said, "Is what you said before God's will true?" ”

"Nature is true." Tao Xinzheng bowed his head.

"Sure enough....!!" King Taiyu suddenly showed a look of ecstasy when he heard this, while on the contrary, Huiguo's expression on the other side was suddenly much gloomy.

On the other side, Lu Xingzhou is also enlightened.

He came to watch the ceremony because of the next volume of the usurpation technique, and his family knew his own affairs, Pei Xunzhen was because of the opportunity to break through the peak martial saint, An Yueyao was because of the elixir to improve the qualification of the root bone, Yue Wancheng was for Ao Ze, and Chen Yisheng was for breaking through the realm of human immortals.

巘戅 wonderful book garden 巘戅. Obviously, while Tao Xin was inviting them, he also gave them a reason not to refuse.

And what about the others?

Heavenly Sage Emperor, Li Jinghan, Sha Boluo, Yue Ye, Miao Jue, and Ying Miao Miao Zhu, what is the reason why they came to watch the ceremony? There are also King Taiyu and Huiguo, as people from the Pengxuan Realm, what reason can they not refuse? and his honorific title for Tao Xinzheng is also very strange.

At the same time, Tao Xinzheng continued:

"Ladies and gentlemen, as I said before, this time the Imperial Eunuch will elect the next Grand Priest after me, that is, one of you. I will send you into the secret realm of the country's heirloom from generation to generation, and whoever can get the approval of the ancestor will be the next great sacrificial wine. ”

"At the same time, there are also things I told you about in the secret realm."

"Take it if you want."

"There is no limit to the means."

"Just look at the results."

is obviously a great Confucian, but when Tao Xinzheng's tone changed, there was a faint sound of Jin Ge in the air: "I will wait here for the results." ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard a thunderous explosion!

"Boom!"

In the entire Jixia School Palace, eight directions and eight halls were turbulent at the same time, and then, I saw that many Confucian scholars in the hall had a majestic righteousness above their heads, wisps of silk, gathering and condensing, and finally rising into the sky, directly reflected in the air, and finally connected to each other.

"One hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred years."

"For the ninth time."

"If you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent."

didn't give Lu Xingzhou and the others any chance to react, and even if they reacted, it was too late, Haoran was swept away, and everyone was directly submerged in it, just a few blinks of an eye, and I saw that in front of the Taiji Palace, only Tao Xinzheng was left.
