Chapter 41: The First Night

Chen Changsheng was indeed very unhappy that day because of the words and attitude of the Heavenly Dao Academy's teachings, but with the passage of time, it had long since dissipated, and for him, instead of wasting time in anger, it was better to use it to do something truly meaningful, such as reading and cultivating, practicing and studying.

He really doesn't care much about the Qingteng Banquet, once he becomes famous and known to the world, so that those who once looked down on him are shocked and slapped loudly? First of all, he must honestly admit that it is difficult for him to do this now that he has not even succeeded in washing the marrow, and even if he can...... He didn't want to.

Of course, it is not a bad thing to gain a false name and gain vanity, but the problem is that when that day comes, his peaceful spiritual life will definitely be disturbed, and it is definitely impossible to think about everything outside the window and spend all his time practicing and studying, as he has done these days.

First of all, what Chen Changsheng thinks, she supports it, although he didn't take her shopping to make her a little unhappy, but a popsicle can soothe, not to mention this kind of serious thing. As for becoming famous through the Ivy Banquet...... With her background, how could she consider such a thing.

This is Chen Changsheng and Luoluo's attitude towards the Qingteng Banquet, they really don't care, even if they are forgotten, it doesn't matter. According to the experience of the past years, it is normal for the Anglican College to be forgotten again, but this year there is one biggest difference, and that is the presence of Priest Xin.

Reminded by the Bishop, Priest Xin has been silently experiencing the spirit behind the Pope's signature, although he has not realized anything until now, and he has not seen any changes in Kyoto because of the new student of the National Christian College, but at least he can no longer forget the new student.

One day in early summer, a horse-drawn carriage drove into Baihua Lane and entered the National Education College. In the evening, with the rosy twilight, the carriage drove out of the National Education College, drove out of Baihua Alley, followed the streets of Kyoto City, came to the Heavenly Dao Temple, and entered the black jade stone gate.

Luoluo lifted the curtain of the car window, looked at both sides of the road, looked at the buildings and pavilions, his eyes were wide open, and he was very curious. She had been to the Heavenly Dao Academy many times before, but she was surrounded by the clansmen and the offerings in the palace, and she came quietly from the back door of the Heavenly Dao Academy, and left silently, except for those professors and the outstanding students who were taught by the professors themselves, she had never dealt with anyone again, and the main gate of the Heavenly Dao Academy was actually the first time to enter.

Chen Changsheng had been to the Heavenly Dao Academy twice, the initial application was an extremely bad experience, the second time he was soaked and embarrassed, and there were no good memories, he had long lost the respect and admiration for this academy, but he did not deny that the scenery here was really good.

Sitting by the car window, looking at these beautiful pictures, the depression caused by going to the Qingteng Banquet, meeting so many strangers, and wasting a whole night of practicing time all disappeared, thinking that he would be able to meet Tang Thirty-six in a while, he was in a better mood.

Priest Xin didn't know his character, seeing that he had been silently looking out of the window, looking a little young and melancholy, he couldn't help but misunderstand something, a little worried, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, comforting: "Even if you sit down, it doesn't matter if you don't end up." ”

Chen Changsheng turned around, nodded his head in understanding, and thanked him seriously.

Priest Xin was silent for a moment, and then said, "Don't pay too much attention to what the Sect Master said in the National Religious Academy that day...... I really recommend that you don't end up in the competition, because this year's Ivy Banquet may be a little different from previous years, so you really need to be careful. ”

Chen Changsheng knew that he meant well, and said, "Don't worry, I'm ready to sit all night." ”

"Huh, one night?"

Priest Xin was comforting that his good intentions had not been misunderstood, when he suddenly discovered the problem in his words, and after being stunned, he asked, "You don't know the way?"

Chen Changsheng was a little dazed and asked, "What?"

Priest Xin glanced at the drop of his gaze, which had just withdrawn from the window.

Luoluo was also at a loss and asked, "What should we know?"

"Green Ivy Banquet...... It is an event organized by the courts themselves, but in fact it is a trial performance of the Great Imperial Examination, and all the regulations are the same as those of the Great Imperial Examination. The Great Dynasty Trial will take three days, and the Qingteng Banquet will be held for three nights, do you really not know the Dao? Then you must not know that the three nights of the Dao are not connected?"

Priest Xin looked at the two of them like monsters, and said, "What are you going to do here?"

Chen Changsheng didn't pay attention to his problem at all, his mind was completely in the sentence he said earlier, and he felt very troubled, it wasn't just one night, it was going to take three nights? How much time would it take? How many books would have to be read less? This is too inappropriate, right?

Luoluo saw him in a daze, and said to Priest Xin: "Don't worry, we are ready, we haven't eaten lunch, and we will definitely eat well tonight." ”

Priest Xin was speechless, thinking to himself what kind of pair of strange people this was, he looked at Chen Changsheng and said, "Anyway, how careful you are tonight, I can't be sure now, but there is some news, there may be some unexpected people who will also participate in the Qingteng Banquet, but maybe it won't happen." ”

At this moment, the carriage had already arrived at the main venue of tonight's Qingteng Banquet.

Priest Xin said, "I still have business to attend to, so I can only send you here." ”

Chen Changsheng and Luoluo thanked him, got out of the carriage, and saw that the night had come, and the previously verdant woods had now become shadowy, like the shadow of a demon, he was slightly stunned, and felt that there was an inexplicable pressure in this academy.

"This way, please. A Heavenly Dao Academy student in a black uniform gave directions very politely.

At the end of the stone path is a large building, with three red lanterns hanging from the outside, about a hundred red lanterns, spreading light in all directions. Worthy of being the most prestigious academy in the entire continent, this building was not surprising in the Heavenly Dao Academy, but it was enough to accommodate hundreds or even thousands of guests.

Looking at the dense red lanterns in the night sky, Chen Changsheng's feeling did not get better, but felt that the pressure became more real.

In front of the table made of light curtains and striated hardwood, there are already hundreds of young students, these are the winners who passed the preparatory examination of the Great Dynasty Examination a few days ago, they come from all over the world, and they are not all the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and they do not belong to the Qingteng Sixth Academy, the students of the Qingteng Sixth Academy can directly participate in the Great Imperial Examination, and they have the qualification not to participate in the preparatory department, as if they are naturally higher than these young students, they are sitting in the Tiandao Academy at this time, and it is inevitable that they are a little restrained and nervous.

In front of the more than 100 tables scattered between the curtains, there was a huge place, with yellow apricot wood as a fence, separated by several separate areas, which were reserved for the hosts, guests, and students of the Sixth Academy of Qingteng tonight.

The Ivy Banquet is nominally a ceremony for these colleges to welcome students who have passed the preparatory examination of the Imperial Imperial Examination on behalf of Kyoto, but it is actually a stage for these colleges to show their strength, and after the Ivy Banquet every year, some students who have passed the preparatory examination will be absorbed by these colleges.

Because of these reasons, the mentality of the students of the Qingteng Sixth Academy is naturally very different from that of those students sitting in the field, and there is no restraint or nervousness on their faces, only undisguised pride, or indifference, or expressionlessness, and the eyes of those peers in the field are full of scrutiny.

The best place this year belongs to the Heavenly Dao Academy, those young people wearing black courtyard clothes have an indifferent expression, not deliberately proud, but proud to the extreme, in the side by side area of the Heavenly Dao Academy, sitting the students of the Star Picking Academy, their expressions are calm, and their posture is as steady as a mountain.

There are also three academies next to it: the ancestral hall, the palace annex, and the thirteen divisions of Qingzhen.

Needless to say, the Tiandao Academy has a long history, has always been known as the strongest in the mainland, the contemporary Pope and the saints of the previous generation of southern sects, are all out of here, the state religion does not have a general altar or a main hall, the Pope's residence to deal with religious affairs is in the palace, the palace annex is naturally extremely powerful, the sect worship is sacrificed, and the important weapon of the country is naturally extraordinary.

The Star Picking Academy is the cradle of the Great Zhou military's generals, and has made the greatest contribution in the war of human beings defeating the demons, and its status is very special.

The Thirteen Divisions of Qingyun are even more special, this college specializes in the practice of Qingyun quoting thirteen scriptures, mainly women, and has a close relationship with the Southern Saint Maiden Peak, and often exchanges students, Xu Yourong was at the beginning of his enlightenment, and he was studying and practicing in this college.

This is the legendary Ivy League.

The ivy in front of the gate of the palace is the most prestigious scenery in Kyoto, and on the stone walls at the entrance of these academies, there are extremely dense ivy, which is a proof of history, for countless years, except for those sects in the south, the rest of the strong people basically have the background of the Ivy League.

Qingteng Academy, occupying the best area of the Qingteng Banquet, no matter how you look at it, it is a matter of course, people have long been accustomed to this, and those ordinary students who are restrained and restless know these things through their predecessors, so it is not surprising, but it is just ...... Tonight's Qingteng banquet has changed from previous years in a certain detail.

Someone has already noticed that change.

Next to the best position of the Qingteng Courtyard, in the seemingly inconspicuous corner, an area is also separated by yellow rosewood.

The area was small, with only a small table.

But that location is parallel to the location of the Qingteng Courtyard.

Location is a very important thing.

It's tradition.

Looking into that area, looking at the little table, there were more and more eyes.

Some people remembered that before the Ivy League, before the Ivy League, before the Ivy League, in fact, the most common title that is still passed down by people until now is:

"Green Ivy Six Courtyards"

Naturally, there are six colleges in the Qingteng Sixth Academy.

The Heavenly Dao Academy, the Star Picking Academy, etc., combined, are only five.

What's the other one called?
