In the first volume, when we are young and the clouds Chapter 21, we face the rising sun
Yong'an City is known as the leader of the world and is located in Dayu, Zhongzhou.
Whether it is the forces of Dongzhou, or the orthodox families in the world, they all have to recognize the orthodox status of today's Dayu. The latter has a clear approach in many interests and entanglements.
Dayu cherishes talents and loves young people.
Because everyone knows that the hope of this continent is them, not these big people who have already become famous but are aging day by day.
Therefore, Dayu has many training methods for strongmen in recent years, such as the Tianqi Fourth Courtyard in Yong'an City, such as Zhushan, and Yew Garden.
Although Da Yu Yu knows no borders for talents, there must also be certain standards. And the way to meet these standards is through some test trials.
Wuju and Wenju, which is known as the Wenju, and then the Qianlong Test after their reunion.
People often say that Wenju Wuju is a side dish, and the staple food is the hidden dragon. This sentence also clearly illustrates their primary and secondary importance. This year's martial arts are still held in the Heavenly Chosen Temple, while the Wenju is still held in the Qingfeng Temple.
........
Time moved forward firmly, and it didn't take long for late autumn to arrive.
In the early morning, as the first two colleges of the Tianqi Fourth Academy, Tianxuan and Qingfeng had already gathered a large number of people.
It will take fifteen years to reunite with Wenju Wuju, how can the people of Yong'an City miss such a bustle. Most of these people are not local residents, but tourists from all over the mainland. They may not be there for the exam, and it is also a kind of enjoyment for the people to join in the excitement and see the scenery.
The young people who took the exam naturally came earlier than these people who watched the excitement, and Qingfeng and Tianxuan were separated from a very open area in front of their own courtyards, and all kinds of vehicles were already parked inside.
In the faint morning light, the teachers of the various colleges made the last reminder to the student, and some young people read the last look at the book, among which the most closed their eyes and recuperated.
Separating the area from the crowds of people who came to see it was a long stretch of cloth. It stands to reason that these curtains will never be able to isolate the enthusiasm of the people, let alone stop the ability of those vendors to grab stalls, but it is strange that no one dares to cross this curtain no matter who it is.
For there was a group of soldiers in armor standing by the curtains, because at the end of these curtains was the gate of the Academy. Even if these soldiers are removed, the doors of the two academies are open, and the people inside are the few big people in this Yong'an City, who dares to spread wild in such a place.
In front of the two academies, there are the most people who have to choose the academy for a few days, because after all, the competition is much more interesting than the text. And as early as many years ago, the imperial court had a certain rule for these lively people, that is, try not to interfere with the candidates for the literary examination.
Seifu-in is a scholar's house, and the cleaner the nature, the better.
Outside the magnificent and majestic gate of the Heavenly Chosen Academy, the young people who came to participate in the martial arts were waiting quietly, and their bodies exuded different degrees of aura, as if they were showing their extraordinary.
Among these people, there are many housekeepers sent by the family to choose the best people, and the voices of communication are also continuous.
This is a very clever method of Yizhong, and it is a secret that everyone knows. Once some high-ranking officials and nobles take a fancy to it, even if they fail in martial arts and do not have the opportunity to enter the army, they still have a way back.
Very few children of the family come to participate in the martial arts, and some may also come here to practice for next year's Qianlong trial. And they don't stand in the middle of the crowd, but talk to acquaintances at the end of the crowd. This is also the reason why many people come to participate in the martial arts every year, and many people come to join in the fun, but it is not favored by everyone.
Compared to the bustling front of the Heavenly Chosen Temple, the entrance of the Seifu-in Temple is much quieter.
In the area between the blue bamboo gate and Kisui, there are also many people standing on the bridge that crosses the river.
Most of these people are dressed very ordinary, and some of them still have a little dust on their clothes.
They are very quiet, and they are of different ages, some are young, and some are already not confused.
At the front of this group of people, there stood a group of students, dressed in the costumes of the Tianqi Four Courtyards, listening to the last teachings of the instructor.
And in front of the students of the Fourth Academy, there was a vacant seat some distance away from the gate, which was reserved for the Seifu-in Temple.
Qingfeng Temple is right in front of you, and the students of Qingfeng Temple naturally don't have to go out of the courtyard gate and walk in, but some day students will stand there and wait for the start of the literary ceremony.
There are also many fewer guards here than in the Heavenly Selection Academy, and it stands to reason that the weak scholar naturally needs more protection, but he doesn't.
Because this is Seifu-in.
The guards didn't come here for protection, their purpose was just to separate an open space outside the gate for the candidates. The two strongest academies of the Tianqi Four Academies, where do they need these people to protect.
These young people are facing the rising sun, the most conspicuous, waiting for an important moment in their lives.
While everyone was waiting for the exam to begin, a magnificent carriage bypassed the side of the crowd and walked through the military-guarded aisle without hindrance to stop at the entrance of Seifu-in.
The white horse neighed lightly, and the carriage stood still.
Under everyone's amazed gaze, a young man stepped out of the carriage.
That person is a celebrity in Yong'an City, and his status is the most noble.
The crowd, which had been talking a little noisy, quieted down in unison, and then saluted the man, while some of the people knelt down directly.
To be able to come to participate in the Wenju and be bowed down by everyone, there is only one person in Dayu, and that is the second son of Emperor Yu.
The second prince, Fang Yu.
.......
This is the second son of His Majesty Emperor Yu and one of only two sons. Being born in the royal family is the envy of the world, and if you can practice, you will become one with heaven and earth, but unfortunately, this prince does not know how to practice.
No, it can't, the innate dantian qi sea closure has made this prince lose a lot, unless the meridians are reforged, this price is very high. But there is no price that the Dayu royal family can't take, let alone the emperor's son.
But now that the second prince is almost in the age of the weak crown, the sea of qi has still not been reforged. The reason for this can only be guessed.
Compared with the bravery and belligerence of the eldest prince, the second prince prefers to read.
There is always him in the garden behind the palace, in front of the old plum in front of the court, in front of the maple rockery. In order to compensate for his child, Emperor Yu built a study building for him in the palace, which was in his residence.
There are not hundreds of flowers, but even willows. It is rumored that there are inscriptions on the walls of the palace, and it is rumored that the thicker branches of the willow trees have poems printed in pen and ink.
This is perhaps the most talented prince in the world today, which is why he is famous in Yong'an City. Although Wenju is the most authoritative literary exam in Dayu, no one thought that the second prince would also come to participate.
It didn't take long for someone in Qingfeng Courtyard to pick him up, but he was beckoned by the second prince and retreated. Before the time came, the second prince was looking at a few big characters on the bamboo door.
As a member of the royal family, he couldn't study in Seifuin and couldn't enter Zhushan to study, what could be more regretful?
…………
Most of the students of Qingfeng Academy had already gotten up early, and at this moment they were almost all making final preparations for Ke Wenju.
Bai Jiu came to the library building early, and he stood in front of the pool, thinking about something.
Because of the precipitation of time, the pond water is so beautiful.
Just like the precipitation of knowledge, the integration of all things seems to be messy, but in fact, after the precipitation, it is the clearest flowing water.
Bai Jiu has read books for more than ten years, all kinds of books. However, the accumulation of knowledge is still far from enough, because he is still too young. Being young represents potential, but being young also limits your strength.
Cultivation is like the formation of the sea, from the first streams and rivers, then the lakes, then the Daze, and finally the Canghai with Jieshi in the east.
You don't know how many peaks you have to cross, how many rivers you have to join, and then you will pass through the steep cliffs, flow under the cold abyss, and finally form your ocean in that part of the abyss.
It's a process, a process of flowers.
Maybe you'll be in the way, but as long as you're young, you shouldn't think about it, because you're really strong.
There are thousands of methods in the book, and I have read a lot of them for a long time, and I keep them in my heart, this time is a very important trial.
.......
Qingfeng Academy's requirements for students are more tactful, and for this imperial examination, the college's attitude is to advocate and not force.
However, the results of Wenju will be recorded in your graduation file, and perhaps you will enter the court as an official through the academy in the future, which is one of your excellent credentials.
Therefore, most of the students of Seifuin will participate, and most of them will be older students, because they have been studying for a year and are more confident in themselves.
For most poor scholars, Wenju is like an opportunity for a fish to leap into the sea.
Bai Jiu is one of these people, but his current status is more special, and the teachers and students of Seifuin are more willing to see him as the leader of the new students.
won the first place in the admission examination, surpassing Ouyang Luo on the Tanhua List and Zhong Tianming, who had already become famous Yong'an. Lin Lang of Fenglin, Lou Qingshan of the South China Sea, etc., those talents who were in Yong'an City in the early years can only look at them.
However, this is not all, in the short period of a few months after being admitted to the hospital, before the autumn has passed, the head of the library has been seen on the second floor of the library, and some people even rumored to have seen him walk through the stairs of the third and half floors.
Entering the hospital without practicing and entering the second floor of the library building in just a few months, and walking halfway through the stairs on the third floor, this requires not only perseverance, but also real strength.
It turned out that the head leader had already cultivated, and had reached condensation in a few months, and it was likely that he was close to entering the spirit.
Some things speak for themselves.
At this moment, the first bell rang in Qingfeng Temple.
Bai Jiu took a deep breath, calmed down his mood, and then walked to the building where the Qingfeng Academy arranged the exam, the Hall of Knowledge.
In addition to the people waiting outside the gate of the courtyard, many students of Qingfeng Temple had already gathered at the gate of the Hall of Knowledge, and they stood there facing the rising sun,
Bai Jiu walked from the side and quickly attracted the attention of the crowd. Some acquaintances saluted one after another, and Bai Jiu returned the salute in turn. This process continued for a while, until Bai Jiu walked into the crowd and stood where he belonged.
It was the place for this class of newcomers, and Bai Jiu was at the front of this group.
The bright sun in the early morning fell on the young man's body, full of vigor and high spirits.
Ouyang Luo walked to Bai Jiu's voice and whispered, "The new head leader, the big name Bai Jiu? ”
Bai Jiu hurriedly waved his hand, but he did not deny it.
Ouyang Luo continued: "I heard that this Wenju is the same as the exam when I was admitted to the hospital, and it is all from Zhushan. In the past few months, you have been going to the library all day long, studying some books on spiritual practice, and you seem to have given up on real literature and history. Are you confident in this exam? Let me tell you first, the teachers of the academy have privately set up a gambling game to bet on who will get higher grades if you keep up with Tang Chun in the previous session. If you lose, I don't know if the teachers who bought you to win will look at you coldly. “
The name Tang Chun has been heard for a long time, and he is the leader in the hearts of the last students, and he is also the most famous person in Qingfeng Academy today except for Liu Xun.
Ouyang Luo shifted his direction with his face, and Bai Jiu looked at it.
In the place where the students of Qingfeng Yuan belong to the old students, there is a white-clothed scholar who gently shakes the folding fan, and his bearing is extraordinary.
Seeing that Bai Jiu didn't speak, Ouyang Luo thought that he had no confidence, and said softly: "Are you so unconfident in yourself?" I've heard that in their games, you have the highest odds. If you win, you'll be able to make a lot of money from it. ”
Bai Jiu suddenly remembered a sentence that Second Brother Chen always said on his lips in Xifeng City. It seemed appropriate to use it here, so he said, "I'm not short of money." ”
After Ouyang Luo heard this, he rolled his eyes in some surprise, seeing that Bai Jiu was already like this, he didn't say anything more, and waited quietly.
There is nothing to say, time passes.
The second bell rang, the Wenju officially began, and the candidates began to enter the examination room.
At this moment, Bai Jiu glanced back at Ouyang Luo, and said casually, "Come on." ”
