The bishop didn't say anything more, and slowly left with the support of Priest Xin, in the twilight, the old man's rickety figure looked a little lonely, different from the previous picture of the three teenagers running in the twilight of the Anglican College, the old man was the real sunset, and no one knew if he could get up again after going down the mountain.

After a long time, the priests, teachers and students in the room dared to stand up, looking at the figure of the bishop in the twilight, the expressions on people's faces were a little complicated, but none of them dared to show the slightest disrespect.

After the twilight of spring, the bishop had many more wrinkles on his face, and there were many more age spots, and he grew old dramatically—the middle age of man lasts for a long time, especially for those who have attained great cultivation, at least for hundreds of years—and it seems as if it took him only a few months to spend these hundreds of long years.

Why does the Bishop age so much in such a short period of time? Naturally, it is because he has too many things to worry about, and in the eyes of some, it is also a reminder to the State Church and many people on the mainland that he is an old man of the same age as the Pope, and the only priest in the world who can compete with the Pope.

In the impression of everyone in the past, the bishop Merissa was an absolute confidant of the Pope, and the Patriarchy under his leadership, although it had a very high status, was only one of the six holy churches of the state religion, and it was not very prominent, and even many ordinary people did not know about his existence at all, but now all the qiē have changed.

The Anglican College reappeared in Kyoto, some old people and some sects in the Anglican Church began to make different voices from the Pope, an autumn rain fell in front of the Catholic Office, the crowd was scattered by fierce horses, blood was flying, and countless dead and wounded were all behind these things.

It was only then that people discovered that there were countless people within the state religion who supported him, and the resources and power he could now muster were faintly threatening the Pope!

Today, he actually appeared in the Imperial Palace, which made Priest Huo and the rest of the Imperial Priests speechless. Yes, the bishop is the promoter of the revival of the National Religious College, he is the biggest backer of Chen Changsheng and others, he is optimistic about the National Religious Academy, optimistic that Chen Changsheng will be able to get the first place in the Great Imperial Examination, and proclaim it to the world, presumably he naturally has his reasons, but the scenery at the Qingteng banquet, and the marriage contract with Xu Yourong, aren't these enough to make Chen Changsheng eye-catching?

"Pressure is motivation. ”

Outside the palace in the twilight, there was a carriage parked, and in the carriage, the bishop looked at Priest Xin who was sitting opposite, and said slowly: "Qingyun Bang is just an appetizer, and the great court test is the main seat. ”

Priest Xin pondered for a moment and said, "I'm worried that the pressure is too great, and Chen Changsheng can't bear it. ”

The bishop did not say anything more, nor did he sue this loyal subordinate, contrary to the imagination of the outside world, Chen Changsheng and the Anglican Academy have never been a weapon for him and the old people in the Anglican to oppose the Pope, on the contrary, everything about Chen Changsheng was personally determined by him and the Pope.

Only in this way can he make him mature as much as possible, only in this way can he let this continent know about his existence, so that someone can no longer take his eyes off him, as for what this pressure will bring to Chen Changsheng, he and the Pope are not very worried, because they both know very well that that young man has been living under the most terrible pressure or shadow in the world all these years.

......

......

The stone wall at the entrance of the Heavenly Dao Courtyard was full of people. The instructor in the Star Picking Academy held a carving knife and carved intently on the stone wall. The Qingyun list has been replaced with a new list, and the stone walls at the gates of the major academies need to be remade once, of course, the top can not be moved, because it is still Xu Yourong's name, but after all, a lot of changes have occurred. This autumn's Qingyun List temporarily changed the list, and the biggest winner was naturally the National Education College, which had only four students, and three of them were on the Qingyun List, and the White Emperor Luoheng was even more second, what kind of scenery this is!

At the gate of Kyoto's various institutes, people looked up at the names on the stone walls, and their feelings were a little complicated, especially for the young students who had participated in the siege of the National Christian Academy. Immediately following the new list of the Qingyun List, there was also a shocking news that spread very quickly, it was the announcement made by the Bishop on behalf of the National Religious College and Chen Changsheng to the whole world!

In the Great Dynasty Examination, Chen Changsheng wants to take the first place on the list.

When people heard the news, their initial reaction was that it should be a joke, where would they believe it, but when this matter was confirmed, the vast majority of people were shocked and speechless, of course, they still couldn't believe it.

If His Royal Highness Luoluo is not the daughter of the White Emperor, or her identity is still unknown, then she represents the National Religious Academy to participate in the Great Imperial Examination, and may still have the strength to fight with Gou Hanshi and the strong men of other sects, but the Bishop said clearly that it is not the National Religious Academy that wants to win the first place, but ...... Chen Changsheng.

That Chen Changsheng, who is well known in Kyoto and still can't succeed in washing the marrow?

Because of the National Religious College's performance on the Qingyun List, and because of the comments of Tianji Pavilion, no one dares to think that he is a waste now, but in the eyes of people...... He never knew how to cultivate, even if luck suddenly came, he would immediately succeed in purifying the marrow, and now that there were only about three months left before the Great Dynasty Examination, how could he surpass so many peer powerhouses who were also amazingly talented and practiced many years earlier than him?

No, even if he is a talented bloodline like Xu Yourong and Akiyama-kun, he can't do it - this completely violates the rules of this world.

......

......

Regarding the scenery of the National Education College on the Qingyun list, and the announcement that Chen Changsheng wants to take the first place on the list, different people have different reactions.

In a remote courtyard of the Heavenly Dao Courtyard, Zhuang Changyu sat by an abandoned well, wet with the cold well water, his black hair was scattered on his body, dripping water to the ground, the reason why he was so was because he was very hot before, and the reason why it was hot was because he was angry. He fell from tenth to eleventh on the Qingyun list, and was overtaken by seven, which made him feel very unfair. Shichima is his defeated subordinate, and his goal is Akiyama-kun, so after entering the top ten of the Qingyun List, he has never challenged anyone again, why? When Tianji Pavilion was listed, didn't it always be a direct criterion for judging each other's victory or defeat?

The drenched black hair hung down in front of his eyes, cutting his sharp gaze, especially when he thought of his junior sister...... No, His Royal Highness Luoluo is now in second place on the Qingyun List, and he has an urge to go crazy, but he calmed down instantly, but his eyes were slightly red, he used to think that he didn't need to prove his strength to others, and it wasn't until today that he understood that it was wrong. That young man named Chen Changsheng wants to take the first place on the list, and the junior sister calls him sir? Very good...... Zhuang Changyu raised his head and found that he had an extremely strong desire for the Great Dynasty to come soon.

In the manor of the Tianhai family, the contemporary head of the family, Tianhai Chengwu and Tianhai Shengxue, father and son, had a very simple two-sentence conversation about today's Qingyun List and the announcement.

"If Chen Changsheng can really get the first place in the Great Dynasty Examination, then maybe he may really marry Xu Yourong into the family...... However, this is not possible. ”

"Yes, it can't be. ”

Tianhai Shengxue calmly replied to his father's words, there was no expression fluctuation on his face as white as jade, he didn't care at all whether Chen Changsheng could succeed in cleansing the marrow, even if Chen Changsheng had an adventure, he wouldn't care, he knew that Chen Changsheng couldn't succeed - he returned to Kyoto with Xueguan from afar, and there was always only one goal, that is, to be the first place in the Great Dynasty Examination.

In front of the palace, behind the cedar forest next to the Shinto, the guest house where the southern mission was located was still as quiet as daytime.

Gou Hanshi sat on the bench by the porch, looking at the night sky divided by the courtyard patio, and was silent for a long time, as if he wanted to see something from the stars.

Liang Banhu, Guan Feibai and Qijian sat on the chairs next to them and chatted in a low voice. The elder of Komatsu Palace is gone, the head of the Akiyama family is also gone, and those elders who came for the marriage contract have already embarked on the journey back to the south, and they are going to participate in the Great Dynasty Examination, so they stayed, and there are no elders on their side, obviously the young people of the Mountain Sword Sect have relaxed a lot.

"Is it possible?" asked Liang Banhu with a frown.

Guan Feibai was silent for a long time and said, "No matter how you look at it, it's impossible. ”

Shichima shifted his position forward with some restraint and asked, "Has there ever been such a thing in the past?"

The three young men from the Lishan Sword Sect, what they were talking about at this time was naturally whether Chen Changsheng could get the first place in the Great Dynasty Examination.

As the Seven Laws of the Kingdom of God, which can be said to have swept the list with a crushing momentum in recent years, would discuss a young man who has not yet succeeded in washing the marrow so seriously and prudently, if others see it, they will inevitably be shocked, and it can be seen that from the Qingteng Banquet to today's Tianji Pavilion's comments, Chen Changsheng has brought pressure to these proud and confident young people.

Seven rooms ask about the past and explore stories, so the three brothers naturally set their eyes on Gou Hanshi.

Gou Hanshi retracted his gaze at Wangxing, looked at the three junior disciples and shook his head with a smile, and said, "Never." ”

His tone was very indifferent, and he didn't deliberately cut it out, but it gave people a feeling that it couldn't be refuted.

Liang Banhu and Guan Feibai didn't know why, and they breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

There was still a worried look between the thin eyebrows of Shichima, and he said: "It has never been, and it doesn't mean that it won't appear in the future." ”

"The little junior brother is reasonable, but I don't think it will happen, in just three months, from washing the marrow to passing through the secluded ...... This can't be. ”

Gou Hanshi said: "This is not a matter of cultivation, but the simplest problem of arithmetic, not to talk about washing the marrow, not to talk about sitting photos, only to say that if you want to open the door of the secluded mansion, you need to borrow the power of the starlight for a hundred nights, unless there is really a legendary artifact in the world that can delay time, when Chen Changsheng goes to the Great Dynasty to test, he can't get through the seclusion." ”

He has read thousands of books and knows that arithmetic will not deceive people, so he is very sure of his judgment.

When the other three heard this, they understood why the second senior brother was so sure.

During the imperial examination, if Chen Changsheng couldn't get through the seclusion, he would definitely not be able to get the first place on the list.

Because the second senior brother has already passed through the seclusion.

There are also a few young students who may come to Kyoto to participate in the Great Imperial Examination, and they have also been quiet.

It is a matter of life and death, and it is also a high threshold, inside and outside the threshold, there are really two worlds.

......

......

In the wind and snow in the north, a teenager turned and headed south, blood stained between his fingers.

Outside the Southern Huai Courtyard, several scholars in Tsing Yi bid farewell to their classmates.

All over the Middle-earth continent, the young people who participated in the Great Dynasty Examination set off one after another.

Somewhat different from previous years, they all have a common goal.

That name is Chen Changsheng.

......

......

"It's just hype, but ...... It's really quite a lot. The Holy Empress walked along the pond to the palace wall, reached out and plucked a wild chrysanthemum, handed it to her side, and said, "If it weren't for Chen Changsheng's young age, I would have doubted what those people wanted to do." ”

There was no one around her, only the black sheep.

The black sheep tilted its head slightly, avoiding the wild chrysanthemum she handed over, indicating that it was not interested in this food.

The Holy Queen shook her head, stretched out her hand to push open the door on the wall, passed through the long passage, and took the black sheep to the Hundred Herbs Garden, and said, "You haven't been here for many years, if you have anything to eat, go eat it yourself." ”

The herb garden is planted with extremely rare herbs and strange fruits, used to make medicine I don't know how much it can be sold for, even if it is a noble person in Kyoto, it is extremely difficult to get a copy, and for the Holy Queen Niangniang, these are just snacks for the black sheep, I don't know if it is willing to eat it.

It has always been said outside the palace that the black sheep that pulled the green bamboo cart was raised by Miss Mo Yu, but in fact, it is not...... This black sheep was not raised by the Holy Empress Niangniang, on the contrary, when she was first imprisoned in the cold wing room of Baicao Garden by His Majesty Taizong, she often suffered from hunger, thanks to this black sheep from time to time to bring some fruit to her to eat.

Walking to the stone table, the Holy Queen began to drink tea, obviously there was no one to serve, and I didn't know when there was tea in the teapot, poured into the cup, and there was still a hot mist.

The black sheep didn't know where they had gone or what they were eating.

Her gaze fell through the hot mist to the side of the autumn forest, to the courtyard wall.

It was the courtyard wall of the Anglican College.

......

......

Chen Changsheng was not in the library, but in his own room in the small building. He sat by the window, holding a book in one hand, reaching out of the window with the other, and the starlight descending from the night sky.

The bishop's announcement caused countless rumors in Kyoto, all of which turned into wind and rain, and he crossed the courtyard wall to the Anglican College, even if he didn't listen to the things outside the window, but the wind and rain were too loud, and it was difficult to think about it, so his current feelings were a little heavy - he didn't know what the bishop wanted to do, he didn't know why the bishop knew that he had to take the first place in the Great Pilgrimage Examination, and he didn't know what the point of participating in the Great Pilgrimage Examination was that he had not even succeeded in washing the marrow now.

The starlight fell on the palm of his hand, and the veins were clear, but there was no change.

He could clearly feel the position of the star that belonged to him in the depths of the night sky, the connection that was vague, and gradually calmed him down.

The book he was holding in his hand was the Four Classics of Sitting Zhao, these days he had been studying the many methods of sitting in the Zhao Realm, preparing for Luoluo and Tang Thirty-six to break through the life and death barrier of Tongyu, but he did not relax his practice, countless nights he was leading the starlight to wash the marrow, but his body did not change at all, which made him a little tired and even a little desperate.

However, at this moment, a passage above the Four Classics made him think of a possibility.

His five fingers were differentiated, and the starlight fell through his fingers on the lattice.

(The next chapter will still be late at night...... It must be after twelve o'clock, today's recommendation vote, are there any classmates who forgot to vote?)
