From the time he was picked up by the master on the bank of that creek, the sentence that Chen Changsheng heard the most was: Your life is not good. Especially on the night when he was ten years old, after his body overflowed with a strange fragrance, these five words were like a commentary, which always remained in his heart.

If you want to change your bad life, there are only two ways, one is to practice to the realm of the hidden gods, which is naturally not in the wheel of life - but the hidden realm only exists in legends, that is, even whether the once invincible **** has entered the hidden realm is a question.

The second way is to change your life against the sky. It is rumored that at the same time, the master also told him that since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there have only been three successful changes to the sky, and those three people have immortal talents and more worldly power, he is just an ordinary person, how can he do it?

Whether you can do it or not, it is something that must be done. Therefore, if he wants to participate in the Great Dynasty Examination, he must get the first place in the first list, so that he can have the opportunity to enter the Lingyan Pavilion, which strictly prohibits anyone from entering or leaving, to see the people on those portraits, to see what they have left behind.

In the Lingyan Pavilion, there are portraits of 24 heroes in the Taizong period, and then other famous ministers were painted here after their deaths. What really matters is the first twenty-four paintings, and those twenty-four portraits may hide evidence and clues to the success of the Great Zhou Dynasty's second rebellion.

Chen Changsheng woke up from his contemplation, his gaze retracted from somewhere in the palace, and looked back at the little girl sitting on the floor.

He likes this child very much, but he can't accept her as a student - the little girl lives in Baicao Garden, and was assassinated by the demon clan the night before, and her origin must be extraordinary, the biggest possibility is that those descendants of the royal family who were sent to other counties by the Holy Queen Niangniang were secretly picked up by the mother, where can this kind of character be provoked.

And he didn't want to mislead people.

"I'm going to wash up and rest for a while. You go home first, don't come along. ”

Chen Changsheng said, deliberately making his tone and expression more indifferent, and left the library without waiting for the little girl to refuse.

He only hopes that the other party can retreat from the difficulties. At night, when I returned to the library, I saw that the little girl was not there, and finally relaxed, and continued to start to draw the starlight to wash the marrow, and unconsciously waited for the morning light to come in a meditative state, and another night passed.

All those starlight entered his body, and he still didn't know about it, only that his skin and hair still hadn't changed at all, and there was no progress in washing the marrow. But he was used to this, but when he opened his eyes, he felt a little empty in his right arm, and he was a little unaccustomed.

He was silent for a while, then left the library and returned to the small building to begin his bath.

The hot water in the barrel emitted a mist that slowly rose along the green vines on the wall before being cut into countless wisps of smoke. He soaked in hot water, leaning against the wall of the bucket, his eyes closed, a little tired. The campus was so quiet in the early morning that he always felt that something was missing.

It's like when I opened my eyes earlier, I found that something was missing from my right arm.

There was no crisp and nice voice, no one was attached to his arm.

It only took a few days for him to get used to the little girl's presence. Thinking of this, he felt a little embarrassed, and his face was a little hot, and he realized that no matter how much he cultivated and pursued his mind, after all, he still couldn't completely get rid of the influence of vanity and other emotions.

He put the wet towel on his face, not wanting his slightly hot face to be seen by the morning light.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang on the courtyard wall on the side of the barrel, and the smoke and dust were pouring down, and the bricks and stones collapsed.

Chen Changsheng took off the towel and looked over in shock, only to see a faint ...... on the courtyard wall in the smoke and dust There's a big hole in it.

The smoke and dust gradually cleared, and Luo Luo walked through the large hole in the courtyard wall.

She turned her head and saw Chen Changsheng in the barrel, she was extremely happy, and said, "I didn't miscalculate the location, this is it!"

This sentence was not said to Chen Changsheng, but to the clansmen and subordinates behind her who were holding mason tools.

For a while, behind the quiet small building, under the old wall, there was a dense sound of masonry.

None of the busy people looked at the barrel, as if they couldn't see the boy in the barrel.

Looking at this scene of construction in full swing, Chen Changsheng felt that the water in the wooden barrel was getting cooler sharply, and his body was also getting colder. He was completely speechless in shock, like a fool, his mouth opened slightly, feeling that this scene was so absurd, and he was even more absurd in this scene.

It didn't take long for a brand new wooden door to appear between the courtyard walls.

The people retreated into the Hundred Herbs Garden like a tide, and as soon as the wooden door closed, the Anglican College was as quiet as before.

Well, one more door, one more person.

"Now it's much more convenient to come here every day, and you don't have to take a carriage. ”

Luoluo put his hands on his waist and looked at the door, very satisfied.

There was silence, and no one answered her.

She looked back and saw Chen Changsheng like a frozen quail, holding the barrel with both hands, looking very funny.

Luo Luo Zhengse said: "Sir, please continue, leave me alone." ”

Suddenly, Chen Changsheng's expression became extremely serious, and there was infinite horror in his eyes.

He looked at the clear blue sky behind her, and said in a slightly trembling voice, "Dragon?!"

Luoluo was taken aback, and when he looked back, he saw that the sky was porcelain-blue, and there were no dragons.

At that moment, there was the sound of rushing water behind her.

She turned around and looked, only to see Chen Changsheng put on his coat at a very fast speed, turned out the bucket, and ran wildly in the direction of the woods, running all the way, dripping all the way, looking how embarrassed and embarrassed he was, like a water dog, more like a lost dog.

Looking at this scene, Luoluo couldn't help laughing, waved his hand at his back, and shouted, "Sir, you will always come back!"

Chen Changsheng's figure disappeared at the edge of the woods.

The smile on Luoluo's face gradually faded, and he looked a little sad, and sighed softly: "Sir, why don't you accept me?"

......

......

Chen Changsheng was soaked, his black hair was scattered, he didn't even have shoes on his feet, he felt so embarrassed, and he didn't dare to go back to the National Teaching College to change his clothes, a Kyoto city, he couldn't find a place to go, because he had no face to see people, and he couldn't find anyone to help.

Although the inn outside the Tianshu Mausoleum was still there, it was too far to walk from the north of the city, and he didn't want to be arrested by the soldiers of the City Patrol Division on charges of being disheveled and obstructing the view of the imperial city, so in the end he had to go to the Tiandao Courtyard relatively close.

He succeeded in attracting the attention and ridicule of the students of the Heavenly Dao Academy, which he could only treat as if he could not see or hear it, until he finally found Tang Thirty-six's residence, and without hesitation, he kicked in the door, and said with a solemn expression: "Borrow a set of clean clothes, I owe you a favor." ”

Tang Thirty-six looked at his appearance, he was stunned for a moment, and then laughed loudly, but the time gap between before and after was a little far, it seemed that he was a little wooden, or that he was too slow to react, but these laughter were still so harsh to Chen Changsheng.

"Rare Guest...... What a rarity...... What's wrong with you?"

"I've never wanted to wear other people's clothes, but I can't help it right now, so please hurry. ”

Chen Changsheng's tone was very serious.

Tang Thirty-six could feel that if he slowed down a little longer, this guy might really be angry, so he forcibly held back a smile, got up and found him a clean dress, and threw two towels over by the way: "Wipe your hair and feet, don't worry, it's all new towels." ”

"Thank you. ”

Chen Changsheng tidied himself up as quickly as he could, only then did he breathe a long sigh of relief, looked around, and found that this guy was indeed worthy of being the thirty-sixth genius on the Qingyun List, and he could actually have his own small building in a place like the Heavenly Dao Academy, just looking at the waste paper balls all over the ground and the leftover meals and the miscellaneous items piled up everywhere on the tables, chairs and beds, he found that although the small building was big, there was no place for him to sit.

"Sit down. Tang Thirty-six didn't realize his pain at this time.

"Where are you sitting?" Chen Changsheng asked very seriously.

Tang Thirty-six remembered that this guy had some quirks, so he got up helplessly and said, "Let's go, let's eat." ”

Walking along the road of the Heavenly Dao Courtyard towards the outside of the courtyard, Chen Changsheng once again attracted a lot of attention, but this time it was not because of his embarrassed appearance, but because he was walking side by side with Tang Thirty-six. The students of the Heavenly Dao Academy were very surprised, thinking to themselves who this young man was, who could actually talk and laugh with Tang Thirty-six, who was known for his arrogance and indifference?

Sitting down in an extremely elegant dining room outside the Heavenly Dao Courtyard, Tang Thirty-six suddenly thought of something, frowned, looked at him and said very seriously: "I went to the inn once, and I saw the note you left...... Did you really get into the Anglican Academy?"

Chen Changsheng nodded and said, "What are you doing these days?"

In fact, he wanted to ask Tang Thirty-six, why did he know that he entered the National Education College but did not look for him, and he wanted to know that he was such a person in Kyoto, although he has always believed in being lonely and lonely, but if he can not be lonely, it is not bad.

It's just that with his temperament, it's really hard to ask directly.

Hearing him admit that he had entered the National Religious Academy, Tang Thirty-six's expression was a little solemn, but seeing that he changed the subject, he thought that this guy didn't want to talk about his sadness, so he responded: "The Qingteng banquet is about to start, although I am not afraid of anyone, but I must always make some preparations." ”

Chen Changsheng thought to himself, what is the Qingteng Banquet?

Tang Thirty-six said again: "Speaking of which, how did you get into the way you look today? During the imperial exam, I just wanted to take the top three on the top of the list, so I couldn't stay up every day, since your goal is to be the top of the list, are you still in the mood to fight with others? Or ...... What happened?"

"The Anglican College there...... I can't stay any longer. ”

Chen Changsheng thought about what had happened in the past few days, thinking that he could see that little girl when he opened and closed his eyes, took a bath or read, and couldn't help but be a little depressed. For him, this is an extremely difficult emotion to appear.

Tang Thirty-six thought that he was studying at the National Education Academy, and he was subjected to endless indifference and contempt and humiliation, so he couldn't help but feel some sympathy, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "It's really not good, just come out of there, I'...... Write a letter for you to read in Wenshui. ”

Chen Changsheng sighed.

Tang Thirty-six was a little unhappy when he saw his sad face, thinking that he was ruthlessly eliminated by the Heavenly Dao Academy and the Star Picking Academy twice, you were so calm and calm, otherwise he would not value you, why is it like this now? Could it be that the National Religious Academy is really a cursed place?

"Just drink some wine and get some sleep. ”

He asked the boss to send two pots of extremely strong wine, and pushed one pot in front of Chen Changsheng.

Chen Changsheng looked at the wine jug, a little curious, and then said honestly: "I haven't drunk it." ”

Tang Thirty-six slapped the mud seal open for him and said, "If you drink it today, you will drink it." ”

Chen Changsheng has something on his mind, Tang Thirty-six actually has something on his mind, and to be honest, the two teenagers are really not too familiar with each other, they don't know much about each other, so naturally they have nothing to talk about, so they have to drink silently with a wine bowl, this is the so-called stuffy wine.

Stuffy alcohol is the easiest to get drunk, especially for a guy like Chen Changsheng who is drinking for the first time.

Of course, Tang Thirty-six's alcohol consumption was not much better.

"A genius like me, how can I have the time to participate in any Qingivy Banquet, but those idiot Kyoto students actually dare to doubt the strength of Ben Gongzi......"

Tang Thirty-six looked at the students wearing the uniforms of the Heavenly Dao Academy outside the bar, and said with a sneer: "This time I must go and slap those people in the face!"

Chen Changsheng held the wine bowl in both hands, his eyes narrowed slightly, obviously drunk, and he asked inarticulately, "Qingteng banquet...... What is it?...... Yes...... What can there be...... Good food to eat?...... Do you have alcohol?"

......

......

Kyoto has the Tendo Temple, the Star Picking Academy, and the Ancestral Hall...... and other six of the oldest and most respected colleges.

The vicissitudes of history are all manifested in the green ivy outside the gate of these six colleges, so these six colleges are called the six colleges of the Qing Ivy League, and only the students of the six colleges can directly participate in the imperial examination without taking the preparatory examination, which can imagine the status of these six colleges.

The preparatory exams for the Imperial Examination are generally held in the summer, and the Sixth Academy of the Ivy League does not need to take the preparatory examination, but they do not want students to miss an opportunity to sharpen themselves, so when the results of the preparatory examination of the Imperial Examination are announced, the Sixth Academy will invite those students who have passed the preparatory examination to participate in a grand banquet with the students of the Sixth Academy itself.

Because of the participation of the students of the six colleges of the Green League, this banquet was much more intense than the preparatory exam. History has also proved that the ranking of this banquet is basically very close to the final ranking of the Great Imperial Examination, so it is gradually regarded as the vane of the Great Imperial Examination.

Of course, the ranking here certainly does not include those who are still in the south and those monastic geniuses who will not make a move lightly.

This banquet is the Qingteng Banquet.

With Tang Thirty-six's temperament, he didn't bother to participate in the Qingteng banquet at all. But his relationship with the vice president of the Heavenly Dao Academy was deliberately exposed a few days ago, and he endured some rumors, and several young powerhouses of the Qingteng Sixth Academy who were also on the Qingyun List showed a disdainful attitude towards this, so he decided to participate.

For this reason, he retreated and practiced penance in the Heavenly Dao Academy, that is, Chen Changsheng went to the National Education Academy, and he didn't have time to see it.

Chen Changsheng put down the wine bowl, covered his lips with his hands, burped, apologized a little embarrassedly, and then said, "I wish you success." ”

Since the Qingteng Banquet is a contest of those so-called geniuses, it naturally has nothing to do with him.

He thought so, but he forgot that the National Education College he is studying at now is also one of the six colleges of the Green Ivy League.

Of course, the entire world seems to have forgotten this.
