Chapter 190: Climb the stairs

"What treasures are there in Zhou Yuan?"

"There should be weapons or exercises of the peerless powerhouse who was defeated by Zhou Dufu back then, and of course, the most important thing is that his own inheritance may also remain in Zhou Yuan. ”

"Everything you find after entering the Zhou Garden belongs to you, and you don't have to hand it over to the imperial court?"

"Rewarding merit is the basic principle, of course, although Zhou Yuan is good, it is very dangerous to want to go deep into it, not to mention that there will be so many opponents in the same realm. Therefore, the more important significance of Zhou Yuan is that this is the most suitable place for young cultivators to test. ”

"Wouldn't those senior powerhouses enter Zhou Yuan to rob the treasure?"

"Those scattered people or the personal disciples of those old monsters will risk entering the garden, but they also have to take care of the attitude of the five saints, and they don't think they will go too far. ”

Many years ago, in the Battle of Luoyang, Zhou Dufu defeated Emperor Taizong of the Great Zhou, and Emperor Taizong must have lost something to him. Earlier, outside the Snow Old City, he defeated the Demon Lord, who was once known as the strongest, and the incomparably powerful Tianluo in the Demon Lord's hand was damaged by Yan Zòng, and his position on the Hundred Weapons List continued to fall, and finally it could only be used to cover up an assassination in the National Religious Academy.

From this point, it can be seen how big, far-reaching and specific Zhou Dufu's influence on this continent is, in his life, I don't know how many peerless powerhouses he has defeated, if the weapons or exercises of those peerless powerhouses are in Zhou Yuan, it is the biggest treasure.

What's more, as Jin Yulu said, Zhou Dufu has not been traced for hundreds of years, or died, or shattered the void, in either case, his inheritance is likely to remain in Zhou Yuan.

The inheritance of the strongest man in the mainland...... Just thinking about it makes people's hearts shake and they can't feel at ease.

After listening to Jin Yulu's narration, Chen Changsheng and the three of them finally had a real perception of this matter, and the porter became quieter, and the oil droplets accumulated on the tips of the fangs became larger and larger.

With such a Zhou Garden, who doesn't want to enter?

In the past many years, Zhou Yuan opened on time, shaking the continent, but not every time it can be found its specific location, this year the location of Zhou Yuan has finally been confirmed again, then this also means that the Great Zhou Dynasty will definitely send many people into Zhou Yuan to explore, trying to find those real treasures.

What Akiyama-kun did was to find the gate of Zhou Yuan and get the key to Zhou Yuan, and the fog outside Zhou Yuan gradually dissipated, and the world inside was still mysterious.

However, this small world, which opens once every ten years, has very strict standards for cultivators who want to enter this world, and there are no difficult criteria for understanding how to operate - only through the Netherworld can they survive in it.

Tang Thirty-six and Xuanyuan Po subconsciously looked at Chen Changsheng. In the final battle of the Great Dynasty Trial, Chen Changsheng successfully passed through the darkness inexplicably, so he was naturally qualified to enter Zhou Yuan.

Chen Changsheng shook his head, he was sure that the number of young cultivators who could enter Zhou Yuan in the future would definitely be more than now, because tomorrow would be the enlightenment period of the Heavenly Book Tomb.

"Prepare the medicine and spar tomorrow, and strive to be able to enlighten and break through the realm in the Heavenly Book Tomb. He looked at Tang Thirty-six and Xuanyuan Po and said, "When the time comes, we will enter the Zhou Garden together." ”

Jin Yulu said: "Your Highness will also enter the Heavenly Book Mausoleum tomorrow." ”

Chen Changsheng said: "Then the four of them will go together." ”

……

……

In fact, Chen Changsheng didn't care much about Zhou Yuan's affairs, because it was too far away...... In fact, in terms of time, it is not too far, but his mind is in front of him, just tonight.

Tonight he was going to enter the palace to do what he had to do and what he had to do well, and only then would other things in the world, such as treasures and legends, be meaningful to him.

In the evening, in the twilight, a carriage slowly stopped in front of the palace. Tang Thirty-six jumped down first, followed by Xuanyuan Po causing the ground to shake slightly, and then Chen Changsheng stepped out of the car.

The palace was full of people before. With young disciples from various academies and sects in the near distance and people watching the bustle in the distance, Kyoto's pursuit of bustle has never been affected by the time of day or the weather.

Looking at the three people of the National Education Academy, especially Chen Changsheng, the people's discussion suddenly became louder, and the expressions of those young candidates also changed slightly.

Tonight, a total of 42 students in the three lists of the Great Dynasty Examination will participate in the feast held by the Holy Queen Niangniang in the Ming Hall, singing, dancing and drinking to celebrate, and then stay in the palace, and go directly to the Tianshu Mausoleum on the second night.

Only Chen Changsheng, who won the top spot on the top list, could not participate in this feast, but had to meditate alone in the Lingyan Pavilion for a night, because this was the rule.

This is where the people's discussion and the change in the candidates' expressions come from. Lingyan Pavilion is a sacred pavilion, and it is also a forbidden place, when there is a major event in the Great Sacrifice or the National Dynasty, His Majesty will enter the Pavilion, in addition, only the first place in the annual Great Dynasty Examination can be meditated in it for a night, on the surface, this is naturally a rare honor, but in fact, no one thinks this is a good thing.

There is definitely no bedding in the Lingyan Pavilion, and if you think about it all night, you are afraid that you will have to sit cross-legged, not to mention sleeping, it is extremely difficult to take a nap, so you will be extremely tired and sleepy in the early morning, and you will definitely be greatly affected when you enter the Tianshu Mausoleum to view the monument and realize the Tao.

No one understands why Emperor Taizong set this rule back then, and can only attribute it to the fact that the male lord wanted to use guò as a means to strengthen the loyalty of the top of the list of the first place in each great court examination to the national dynasty.

It's just that with the passage of time, this kind of rule has become just a rule, which has been forgotten by many people until they turn a blind eye, only for Chen Changsheng, this rule is not as simple as the rule, but the most important thing is that he left Xining, came to Kyoto, entered the National Education College, participated in the imperial examination, experienced so many ups and downs, and risked so many dangers...... The only reason.

Under the eyes of countless pairs, he walked into the dim and cold palace gate.

Under the guidance of a eunuch leader, he walked to the deepest part of the palace, passing the Hanguang Hall and passing the ruined garden, which were all places he had been to, and then he saw the high palace wall in the west and the green vines climbing on the wall, and knew that there was the National Education Academy and the Hundred Herb Garden.

The deeper you go into the palace, the quieter it becomes, and it can even be said to be deserted, the palace maids and eunuchs that could occasionally be seen before can no longer see a single person, and the sound of ritual music in the Ming Hall in the distance is becoming more and more faint, as if it has become the sound of another world, until it finally disappears completely, and there is silence.

The chief eunuch quietly departed at some point.

Only Chen Changsheng was left alone and a building.

That high-rise building is lonely in front, it is impossible to admit mistakes, this is Lingyan Pavilion.

He didn't need guidance, and he wouldn't get lost, because there was only one way to Lingyan Pavilion.

Lingyan Pavilion was very tall, and the road was very straight, consisting of countless stone steps.

The night has already covered Kyoto, and the stars have returned.

Starlight fell on the stone steps, gilding them with a faint glow, and from the bottom up, the stone steps seemed to have no end, as if they were leading to the highest point of the night sky.

Chen Changsheng did not hesitate, and walked down the stone steps towards the Lingyan Pavilion in the night sky. His steps are very steady, but not slow, and the hands that fall on his side are slightly clenched into fists, representing his nervousness and anticipation.

A night wind blew, and his clothes fluttered and hunted loudly.
