Like every morning in the past fourteen years, Chen Changsheng woke up at five o'clock, immediately opened his eyes, used the five breaths to meditate, turned over and got up, dressed in galoshes, made the bed and folded the quilt, began to wash, ate a bowl of duck porridge and four first cages of hot meat buns in the front hall of the inn, returned to the guest room, rinsed his mouth again with last night's Chen tea, sorted out his clothes in front of the bronze mirror, and then walked to the small courtyard.

——Now in the small temple in Xining Town, there is no need to chop wood and carry water, he closed his eyes and began to meditate on the nascent morning mist and the light of the sky in the distance, and silently read the Taoist scroll in his mind, until he was refreshed, he could be regarded as completing his homework, and walked from the side door to the increasingly lively streets of Kyoto, and began his day in a very inconspicuous way into the crowd.

He had a list in his hand, with the names of several colleges in Kyoto, and after asking the steward of Fang City for the address of the first academy, he quickened his pace, not noticing that there was a carriage following him behind, and he did not notice that the horse had unicorn blood, let alone the somewhat hidden blood phoenix logo on the wheel.

Countless years ago, the Book of Heaven came to the world, the wisdom of the people opened, and the development of no mathematical door, but everything changes from its origin, tracing its source, are all included in the Taoist classics, agriculture and industry, are all so, and the standard for judging these, now recognized as the most authoritative, is the annual Great Zhou Dynasty Great Dynasty test.

The Great Dynasty Examination was founded by Emperor Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty, whether it is an official or a general, or a priest who enters the state religion, the results of the Great Dynasty Examination are the most important criteria, and the most important thing is that Emperor Taizu explicitly ordered that only those who are included in the top three in the Great Dynasty Examination are eligible to enter the Heavenly Book Mausoleum and Guantianshu - because of this regulation, there are not many strong people in the world, and they will come to Kyoto at the beginning of each year- In the first Great Dynasty Examination of that year, Emperor Taizu stood on the city wall, watched the geniuses of various sects on the mainland enter like a carp, and said a very famous sentence with a smile, which also established the status of the Great Dynasty Examination.

The southern countries, especially the Immortal Sect and other worldly sects, were naturally extremely dissatisfied with this rule. In their opinion, although the Tianshu Mausoleum is in Kyoto of the Great Zhou, the Tianshu is the descendant of the divine stone, and of course it is the common wealth of the whole continent. For this reason, the south has boycotted the Great Korean Test several times, and the relationship between the two sides has been extremely stiff.

It's just that the Tianshu Mausoleum is too important to the cultivators, although the Great Zhou Dynasty is strong, there is no way to risk the world's disapproval to monopolize it, and the southern forces are powerful, and there is no way to resist the **** who enters the Tianshu Mausoleum Monument, even if the demon clan was repelled in the years when the two sides drifted apart, the south resisted on the surface, and there were still many strong people of the southern sect who participated in the Great Dynasty test in their private names.

After the reign of the most holy, the Great Zhou Dynasty finally reached an agreement with the southern powers, and the sects of the southern countries can send their own delegations to participate in the Great Zhou Dynasty's Great Dynasty Examination, and the judgment is also subject to both sides, and the southern students can not accept the Great Zhou Dynasty's official reward, and the rest are treated equally, and then, the Great Dynasty Examination has a new name in this new agreement.

For countless years, the Great Dynasty has selected countless strong people, and it is said that those strong people at the peak of the mainland today have all had the experience of coming to Kyoto of the Zhou Dynasty to participate in the Great Dynasty Examination, and the more well-known fact is that the contemporary State Church Pope, the Southern Saint Maiden Peak Elder, have all been the leaders of the Great Dynasty Examination, not to mention that some geniuses of the Western Demon Race have incarnated as people to participate in the Great Dynasty Examination, and even the Demon Clan once had a young monarch who ventured to Kyoto, but was discovered by the previous Pope and hidden, and the Great Divine Technique was directly suppressed into green smoke.

That was many years ago. Now people are more concerned about whether next year's Great Imperial Examination, whether Akiyama-kun of the Immortal Sect will participate, how many of the Seven Laws of the Kingdom of God will be able to enter the first rank, whether Xu Yourong will break through in advance and leave the Holy Maiden Peak and return to Kyoto, will the genius powerhouse who is known for his coldness and mystery in the demon wilderness appear in front of the world for the first time, or will he continue to chase each other bloodily with the demon powerhouse? In addition to these, the people in Kyoto are most concerned about what eye-catching geniuses will appear in the Kyoto Academy.

Yes, there are many academies in Kyoto, the Holy Empress is in power, the government is strict, the government is clear, the people's life is getting better, these decades, it is the Haiyan River is clear, it can be called a prosperous era, various colleges have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and even a few years ago there were many private colleges dedicated to the Great Imperial Examination as the goal, and the national religion was secretly taught. Of course, the most famous and powerful academies are the ones with the longest histories, and two of them have a history even longer than the time of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Chen Changsheng's list has six academies, and the Heavenly Dao Academy at this time is ranked first, in fact, in the entire continent, the Heavenly Dao Academy is qualified to rank in the top position - in the past two hundred years, the students of the Heavenly Dao Academy have won a total of twenty-four first places in the Great Dynasty Examination, and the students studying here are all extremely talented without exception, this academy has sent many important priests to the state religion, and has dedicated countless cultivation geniuses to various sects, and most importantly, the contemporary state religion Pope was once a student of this academy.

The Heavenly Dao Academy has the best results in the history of the Great Dynasty Examination, and naturally it is the most difficult to enter, but the number of applicants is still the largest. Chen Changsheng walked to the gate of the Heavenly Dao Courtyard, looked at the majestic and atmospheric Moyu Courtyard Gate, and looked at the name of the courtyard inscribed by Emperor Taizu himself, and naturally had a feeling of admiration and yearning, but then, this emotion was dissipated by the lively environment of the courtyard gate like a vegetable field and the pungent smell of sweat and ink, and he subconsciously lowered his head.

When he left Xining, he had already calculated the time, and when he arrived in Kyoto, it was the date of the spring enrollment of the major colleges, and he could also think that the number of people who would apply for the examination of the Heavenly Dao Academy would be extremely large, but he did not expect that it would be so terrifying. Especially the group of young people at the gate of the courtyard who were dressed and looked tired, standing crookedly, pointing at the crowd, made him a little uncomfortable.

Those young people are wearing clothes of similar styles, generally black, with a gold belt around their waists, they should be the uniforms of the Heavenly Dao Academy, Chen Changsheng knows that these people should be old students who did not pass the Great Imperial Examination at the beginning of the year, these people are arrogant, but they are uneasy because of the failure of the list, they will definitely not have a good face for the new students who came to apply for the Heavenly Dao Academy today, listening to those harsh words, looking at the mockery in the eyes of those young people, he subconsciously lowered his head.

He bowed his head not because he was afraid of anything, but because he had some slight cleanliness habits, both physical and psychological, so he didn't want to smell the smell of sweat from the crowd, and he didn't want to hear those words.

"Look at that idiot, who looks like a pig, has a few pockmarks on his face, and still has a fan in his neck? ”

"Yes, looking at his vain steps, at most, he has just washed the marrow in two months, but I am afraid that his muscles and bones have not yet survived, and he actually dares to apply for my Tiandao Academy......? I don't understand what these idiots think, do they think that with that little and pitiful divine sense, they can also understand the Daozang?"

You sympathize with what happened to the idiot, but I sympathize with his parents, and the humiliation after staying for a while is secondary, and the money spent before can't be recovered. If I were the parents of that idiot fat man, I might as well use the money to go to the church altar to ask for some elixirs to eat, lose some fat, and at least marry a wife. ”

"What if you marry a wife? Even if Han Meidan only takes care of himself, in the future, he will give birth to seventeen or eighteen sons and daughters, and he will be like him to be fat and stupid, and raise a litter of pigs, is it a good thing?"

Those students laughed and talked about those candidates unscrupulously, their words were extremely ugly, and they did not control the volume at all, and they may even deliberately want to let the object of the discussion listen, which is extremely hateful. The fat young man who was talked about was flushed, but he didn't dare to resist at all, because those students were telling the truth, he was indeed just cleansing his marrow more than ten years ago, and it was basically impossible to be admitted to the Heavenly Dao Academy, and the most important thing was that even if he was lucky enough to enter the academy, he couldn't offend these seniors.

Chen Changsheng walked through the crowd, listening to those foul words, his brows raised slightly, thinking that if he was being talked about, he didn't know if he could hold back. Fortunately, he lowered his head, and his aura was too ordinary, extremely inconspicuous in the crowd, and it was difficult to be noticed, so he luckily avoided being ridiculed, and walked through the gate of the Moyu Courtyard smoothly and walked in.

Because he was thinking about these things, he lowered his head again, so he didn't notice that on both sides of the stone path that the Heavenly Dao Courtyard entered, there were two huge stone walls, carved with alien flowers and monsters, and in the middle were hundreds of names densely written, it seemed to be a list, and there were many eyes on those names, hot and admiring.

The family servants who came with the new students were not allowed to enter the Heavenly Dao Academy, so when they entered the courtyard, the environment suddenly became quieter, Chen Changsheng took out a white handkerchief from his sleeve, wiped off the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and exhaled, feeling a little more relaxed. Following the student in front, they lined up at the back of a long line.

There are a lot of people who apply for the Heavenly Dao Academy, the line is very long, it looks like the legendary Baizhang snake in the Western Demon Domain, stretching from the distant building to the grassland, and even crossing a clear stream in the middle, many freshmen who applied for the exam are standing on the wooden bridge on the river, blown by the cold wind of early spring, and their faces are a little cold.

Soon, people came out of the building, all of them were teenagers and girls, their faces were as blue as their companions on the bridge, very ugly, since it was not frozen, it must be that the exam was not going well, and the people who were still queuing looked at their lost souls, and suddenly became nervous, and there was no mood to chat.

Chen Changsheng didn't know anyone, so naturally he didn't chat, he looked at the building in the distance, and seemed a little curious, he only cared about the entrance examination of the Heavenly Dao Academy now, was it like what was said in the book, or was it the method used, why would these people who did not pass be defeated so quickly? Or did the examination of the Heavenly Dao Academy really change?

The crowd kept moving forward, crossing the meadow and crossing the stream, and before they came near the building, they came to the bottom of a row of bamboo sheds. Looking at the stern-faced Heavenly Dao Academy teacher behind the stone table, and looking at the rock block on the table that was as dark as volcanic stone, Chen Changsheng recognized what it was, and remembered an old lawsuit he had seen in the Dao scroll, and was slightly stunned.
