After entering the city, the carriage traveled for four hours before reaching the foot of the Dingtian Mountain.

The chauffeur who drove the car had already been replaced by the people of the Han Dynasty's mansion, and the eighteen princes and kings of Great Xia had an exclusive mansion in Kaiyang City, which was for the kings to visit the royal family for a temporary stay, and the Han King's mansion was a simple and old small manor, just because of the decline of the Ye family, the manor was empty, leaving only an old slave to guard the garden.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Muyang walked in the direction of the temple with the steel baby.

Half an hour later, Mu Yang appeared at the door of the temple and saw that the front of the magnificent hall was already full of candidates from all over the world.

The temple, the academy, the demon suppression mansion, and the Tianxuan Academy are the four major cultivation holy places in the Great Xia Kingdom, and the days of recruiting new students are about the same every year, and only the most talented young disciples of each city and sect are eligible to take the exam, so those who are qualified to stand in front of the temple are all talented cultivation geniuses, and some of them are still followed by the master of the sect, and some of the young masters and young ladies from the military mansion are standing with guards wearing helmets and armor.

If you want to enter the temple to practice, there are two basic prerequisites, the first is that you must be under the age of twenty, and the second is that you must be above the three realms.

Only those who meet these two conditions will be eligible to register for the next exam.

There are two kinds of exams, one is the literary examination, and the other is the martial arts examination.

The content of the literary examination covers a wide range of topics, including literary explanations, calculations, drawings, and theoretical comprehension of spiritual practice, all of which are the contents that every practitioner has to learn from an early age.

Martial arts test scores: archery test, martial arts, star element control, three tests.

The temple is the first of the four sacred places of cultivation, and the content of the exam is the most rigorous in comparison, but because of the high status of the priest and the supreme honor of the templar, the number of applicants is still the largest.

Mu Yang stood at the door of the temple, looking at the majestic purple-gold temple gate, looking at the four big characters of 'Chengtian Temple' inscribed by the first emperor of Taichu himself, and naturally had a feeling of admiration and yearning. But then, this feeling was dissipated by the lively environment of the palace gate like a vegetable market and the pungent smell of sweat and sourness, and he subconsciously frowned.

An exaggerated laugh came from a crowd to the southwest, a group of young men with languid expressions, standing in a crooked posture, dressed in similar dark red clothes and with silver belts around their waists, pointing at the crowd.

Mu Yang knew that these people should all be students of the outer temple who had just entered the temple last year, they were arrogant, they had not been promoted to the inner hall within a year, and the people who took the entrance exam today were all new competitors, so naturally they would not have a good face, listening to those harsh words, looking at the mockery in the eyes of those young people, his brows furrowed even tighter.

There are many meanings of frowning, there are puzzles, there are thoughts, there are disgust, Mu Yang is the last one, he didn't expect that there were also cynical and incompetent people among the disciples of the temple, and he felt a little disappointed.

?“ Look at that idiot, who looks like a pig, with a pockmarked face, a waist thicker than a bucket, and a fan in his neck?

?“ Yes, seeing that his steps are vain, he has also practiced the Three Realms with this virtue? Is it force cultivation, instrument cultivation, or meat cultivation? If this fat body participates in riding and shooting, it won't directly break the horse's legs? If he really enters the inner temple and becomes a priest, he won't vomit the believers nauseously? Where does he think this is? Is there a pork shop in the vegetable market? Haha...... I really don't understand what these idiots think, can anyone enter the temple?"

?“ There are idiots every year, especially this year. You sympathize with the idiot, I sympathize with his parents, and being humiliated for a while is secondary, and there is no way to get back the money that I spent before. If I were the parents of that idiot fat man, I might as well use the money to beg for some pills to eat, lose some fat, change my face, and at least marry a wife. ”

?“ What if you marry a wife? The dragon gives birth to a dragon, and a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and the son of a mouse will make a hole, and in the future he will give birth to fifteen or sixteen sons and daughters, and he will be as fat and stupid as he is, and raise pigs and a litter, is it a good thing?"

Those students laughed and talked unscrupulously about those applicants, and their words were extremely ugly, and they did not control the volume at all, and they may even deliberately want the object of the discussion to listen, which is extremely hateful. The fat boy who was talked about was flushed, but he didn't dare to resist at all, because those students were telling the truth, in order to let him enter the Three Realms, his parents were almost bankrupt, and the most important thing was that even if he was lucky enough to enter the temple, he couldn't offend these seniors.

Muyang walked through the crowd, listening to the foul language, thinking that if it was him who was being discussed, he didn't know if he could hold back. Fortunately, he had a well-proportioned figure, no pockmarks on his face, and the clothes he wore were neither shabby nor ostentatious, and he was extremely inconspicuous in the crowd, and it was difficult to be noticed, so he luckily avoided being ridiculed, and walked through the purple-gold temple gate and walked in.

The family servants who came with the new students were not allowed to enter the temple, so after entering the door, the surroundings suddenly became much quieter, Mu Yang followed the student in front of him, lined up to the back of the long line, looked around, and found that the stone walls on both sides of the wide hall were carved with strange flowers, and hundreds of names were engraved in the middle, and many people's eyes fell on it, and their eyes suddenly became hot.

Muyang is dozens of meters away from the stone wall, and those names clearly come into his eyes after focusing on the operation of talent, and when he sees the first name, he suddenly froze, this name is very familiar, there are only two words - quicksand.

Then he noticed three vague dark red letters above his name - the Celestial Star List.

It turned out that these were all cultivation geniuses on the Heavenly Star List, Mu Yang thought to himself, continued to look down, and silently memorized every name in his heart. In order to enter the Heavenly Temple to comprehend the secret of immortality, he must write his name on the list, and these people are all opponents he will defeat in the future.

There are a lot of people who apply for the temple, the queue is very long, Mu Yang followed the crowd through the hall and entered a large courtyard full of green trees and flowers, the courtyard is surrounded by more than a dozen arches, each arch has a luxurious jade road leading to those tall halls in the distance, and many halls also have huge plaques on them, with the name of the temple written on them.

The candidates in front of them were successively taken to the opposite arch by the teacher in temple costumes, and the rest of the people continued to wait in the courtyard, the early summer sun was a little hot, and many students were sweating on their foreheads.

Soon, someone came out of the opposite door, all of them were teenagers and girls, their foreheads were as wet as their companions in the courtyard, some were depressed, some were down, some were down, they didn't have to think about it, they knew that the exam was not going well, and the people who were still in line looked at their lost souls, and suddenly became nervous, and they no longer had the mood to chat.

Mu Yang didn't know anyone, so naturally he didn't chat, he watched those candidates walk into the arch next door, thinking about the exam rules that Huang Zhen had told him, the literary test first, and the martial arts test last, seeing the speed of these freshmen entering and leaving the examination room and sighing, is this year's literary exam difficult? I couldn't help but feel a little nervous in my heart.

The crowd kept moving forward, and soon Mu Yang and the dozen candidates in front of them were brought into the arch, and they walked into a square three-story building, which was an isolated independent box, and a middle-aged teacher from the temple gave each person a round bronze medal, with a number written on it, Mu Yang received the 28th, and under the guidance of another young teacher, he walked to the corresponding box, which was on a square table, with pre-prepared test papers, and an hourglass at the corner of the table.

"Answering time, three sticks of incense. Papers can be submitted in advance. The young teacher threw down a sentence and walked out.
