Forbidden city.

It was once a landmark of Bactria and the center of power for the entire country.

However, with the change of times, it now has two responsibilities, one is an attraction and the other is a museum.

The buildings that have only been built in the last 100 years have been directly demolished and rebuilt, transformed into other venues, and rented out.

Occasionally, some celebrities will hold weddings and choose to hold a banquet here, and the 'state banquet' on the surface must be expensive, but there are inevitably people who pay for it.

People live for a lifetime, and they want to be famous.

Relying on the annual venue rental fee and the income from banquet contracting, it is enough to cover the salaries of the people in the Forbidden City, and a large amount of funds can be allocated to support the protection and restoration of cultural relics.

But when December comes, the Forbidden City will become a real forbidden city.

Because the palace test is approaching, the department personnel in Zhonghu are responsible for taking over.

In the past, the Jinluan Hall or the Temple of Heaven, or the museums and cultural relics were all closed, and all the work inside and outside must be stopped, and the declaration stage for the end of the year must be entered in advance.

All of this is a concession made for the most serious and top-level talent selection examination in the entire Great Xia.

Although in the eyes of the people, the existence of the concept of the palace test is very low, but the old people in the capital who are a little old know what it means to be able to write the name on the Forbidden City.

In ancient times, Great Xia had the custom of catching sons-in-law under the list.

If it weren't for the fact that the Forbidden City had already put an end to the entry of irrelevant people, I am afraid that it would inevitably be possible for people from all walks of life to take their daughters to the scene on a blind date, which would be more lively than the blind date corner.

Yesterday there was a snowfall, this morning the fog is foggy, the rooster cries and the sky is dawning, and the pedestrians are nowhere to be found.

It's a deserted place, but it's not a big deal.

The fact that there are no idle people does not mean that there are fewer people.

On the contrary, there are not a few young heroes in the capital, the number of families is not only hundreds, but there is no shortage of thousand-year-old families, but there is no shortage of hundreds of years, and then some rising stars, some military department recommendations, or canonized descendants...... It's easy to get hundreds of people together, so there are a lot of boys and girls.

If you want to be selected for the temple examination, there is a limit on the age of 30.

Secondly, to participate in the martial arts test and the divine test, the cultivation needs to be higher than the transcendent third order.

This is still the basic condition.

If you want to enter the palace examination, it is naturally far from enough to meet the basic conditions.

Long before the sun rose, a table had been placed outside the palace gate, and the list was posted.

In the early morning fog, a list of inscriptions hung on the wall next to the Forbidden City, using not paper, but a rather unique purple-gold cloth.

Several names have been added to it, and there are also sprinkled numbers behind the names.

'Yan Baipao: The name of the night watchman is captured, the martial arts test, and the Long Night Division recommends'

'Qingwei: Daomen Holy Son, God Test, Xuantian Division Recommendation'

'Shen Tuyu: Dr. of the Stargazing Division, Literary Examination, Recommended by the Stargazing Division'

'Xu Xuntian: Major General of the Military Department, Martial Test, Recommended by the Panyan Army'

'Xiao Shuihan: Guarding the students of the school, martial arts test, recommended by the Shenwu Division'

‘……’

There are not many names, but everyone can be regarded as a rare Tianjiao.

Many people will think that the scorching sun and bright moon in Daxia are the real gold content.

In fact, this is not always the case, and some people will not take the initiative to compete for the title, but as their talents blossom and bear fruit, they will always get the opportunity to shine.

As an examination for the selection of top talents, the most critical point of the palace examination lies in the word 'recommendation'.

The recommendation here and the inspection system of the Han Dynasty are two different things, usually forming an internal competition, and then after the actual consideration of the ten divisions of the Great Xia, the name will be recommended to Zhonghu, and the assessment will finally confirm whether the individual is eligible to enter the list.

If you are a nobody, it is absolutely impossible to directly ascend to the sky to participate in the palace examination.

This usually takes a long time to make a decision, taking into account all of a person's qualities.

Just having strength, no reputation, no; Fame alone is not good if there is no strength; If you want to have both fame and strength, you also need to have a strong recommender to be on the list.

There are many people gathered under the list of the Forbidden City.

But in front of the table ten meters away, it was a little deserted, and few people dared to take the initiative to approach.

"It's not a surprise." An old brother said: "I think there are probably more than a dozen participants in the palace examination this time, and there should be no more." ”

Just as I was finished.

There was a slight commotion in the crowd not far away.

A figure walked straight to the registration office.

The staff member in charge of the reception looked up at the other party, and the crowd around him also noticed him.

"Shenwu Division, Lin Haiya?"

"The contemporary Haoyue is also here?"

"Who does he want to recommend to participate in the temple examination?"

There was a lot of speculation and talk all around.

Lin Haiya said: "I want to sign up for the palace exam, the martial arts exam." ”

The recorder at the gate asked, "Did you sign up yourself, and not recommend?" ”

"I want to sign up and recommend." Lin Haiya said lightly: "I recommend myself." ”

The recorder lowered his head, picked up the brush, and wrote down the words with the pen and snake, and at the same time, there was an extra line of text on the list under the Forbidden City.

'Lin Haiya: Haoyue, martial arts test, self-recommendation'

As soon as this line of text appeared, there was an uproar.

"Am I mistaken?" A young man asked, "I saw Lin Haiya's name on it......"

"I'm sure you read that right, I saw it too." Another person said affirmatively: "This time Haoyue actually participated in the palace test directly, and the intensity of competition went up all of a sudden." ”

"In this martial arts test, I'm afraid that the leader has been determined early." Someone sighed: "How can this be compared? ”

"Don't underestimate the other referees, who said that Lin Haiya won?" An indifferent voice rang out from the crowd.

Someone next to him was unconvinced: "The true legend of the Martial Saint Pavilion is today's Haoyue, don't you know the gold content?" ”

"Then it's too early to say that he won, although he Lin Haiya is Haoyue, he is not the first Haoyue, let alone the first sun."

"Is it a horizontal bar transformation? You can do it! ”

"Okay." A person came out of the crowd, and just walked to the front of the registration desk in the sight of the teenager and girl, and after a few conversations, there was soon an extra line of text on the list.

'North Underworld: Haoyue, martial arts test, self-recommendation'

The man who had just shouted bent down and retreated to the back of the crowd, pretending not to see.

"The two Haoyue are fighting, this martial arts test, tsk tsk......"

"Yes, yes! Fight, fight, I want to see a river of blood! ”

"Don't worry, I said don't worry, I always feel that there are heavyweights behind."

It was already surprising that the two Haoyue Tianjiao started to compete in the martial arts, and the new names that appeared next were even more uproaring.

'Ren Nanbei: the sun, the gods, self-recommended'

Boom——!

All the people who saw the list looked at the registration office, and a baby-faced young man stood at the gate of the Forbidden City, holding a bottle of AD calcium milk to drink.

"Hello." He waved his hand and smiled.

Several little girls in the crowd immediately fell backwards.

It's scared.

Ren Nanbei is a bad star, whoever provokes him, maybe the whole family will be sent away by the suona neatly.

Several young people here looked away with ugly faces: "This divine test is categorically impossible to participate, and it is important to save your life." ”

Everyone in the world knows that Ren Nanbei's favorite killer is the princess of the family, but the second ancestor who feels that his family background is very dick is his favorite whetstone.

The magnates of the capital did not dare to have any conflict with Ren Nanbei, even if he was imprisoned by the Holy Dao for fifty years.

Besides, the sun has been tested in the palace, so what is the need to fight for it?

Ren Nanbei only thinks that this group of people is boring, he is not a madman, he will not kill people casually, he will not cut people if he can't catch evidence, and the use of Law Thunder is actually not so arbitrary.

If someone is afraid of being cut by him, it only proves that the person is not clean under the buttocks.

The body is not afraid of crooked shadows, where can law-abiding citizens be afraid of what law, thunder and grass choppers?

At this moment, Ren Nanbei suddenly felt a breath.

A bleak breath, like the silence of life, makes people see autumn going to winter.

After a short trance, Ren Nanbei turned his head and looked at the figure that appeared in the sideways position.

Dressed in a long gray robe and veiled in black veil, he stood there like a stone statue, and his left hand peeking out from under the sleeve was as rough and withered as an old man.

Ren Nanbei said in a low voice: "I really didn't expect that you would also come to the Forbidden City." ”

"I, too." The figure in gray and black yarn said in a low voice: "Perhaps, only that one can, help me." ”
