Chapter 33: The Great Excitement
readx;? The Yulin Army outside the Tianshu Mausoleum suddenly became nervous, and when the dense bowstrings were tightened, countless crossbows were aimed at Wang Po's back. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
There was smoke and dust rising in the distance, the ground shook slightly, and the sound of hooves could not be heard yet, but it should be the Xuanjia cavalry gathering.
Before these things happened, the warning signal had been sent out, heading all over Kyoto.
The reaction of the Anglican cavalry was also very fast, even if they did not receive any orders to leave the palace, hundreds of horsemen galloped towards and stopped in front of the stone gate of the Tianshu Tomb.
After three years, the two sides began to face off tensely again.
Wang Po seemed to have no idea what was happening outside the stone, and walked towards the already green Heavenly Book Tomb.
Looking at his back, a priest from the palace couldn't help but ask, "Sir, where are you these days?"
This is the answer that everyone in Kyoto wants to know.
Wang Po didn't look back and said, "I've always been here." ”
Hearing Wang Po's answer, whether it was the priest, the national cavalry, or the feather forest army on the periphery, they were all surprised.
No one thought that Wang Po was in the Tianshu Mausoleum these days, and ordinary people couldn't enter the mausoleum, so naturally they couldn't see him.
He appeared before everyone today to let the world know what he was going to do.
But what exactly is he going to do?
It has been a long time since Wang Po entered the Tianshu Mausoleum to view the monument and realize the Dao, but it seems that he has not forgotten those experiences.
He found a path in the woods quite familiarly, and headed southwest.
I don't know how long he walked, but he came to a small courtyard.
In early spring, there are no oranges in the orange forest, but I always feel that there is a faint smell of green oranges in the air.
These days, Wang Po lives in this small courtyard.
The beams of the room where the bacon used to hang were empty, and the tables and chairs in the room were scrubbed extremely clean and free from dust.
Wang Po did not enter the house.
Standing outside the fence, he calmly said to his old friend, who had lived in this house for thirty-seven years, "Today I am going to ascend to Shinto. ”
When Xun Mei failed to break into the Shinto and was about to say goodbye to this world, he once said that if he could cultivate to the Holy Realm in the future, he would climb to the top of the mausoleum on behalf of Xun Mei to have a look.
It turned out that this was what he was going to do today.
......
......
The Great Dynasty Test has officially begun, and Chen Changsheng still hasn't appeared.
Without butchers, people still have to eat pigs, the Pope does not appear, life still goes on, exams still have to be conducted.
This year's imperial examination did not deliberately make anything new, and still followed the methods of previous years, and the literary examination, martial examination, and combat were carried out in order.
The literary examination conducted in the Xuanwen Palace, according to the old rules, was supervised by the Religious Council and the Imperial Court Rite Department, but the final examination power was in the hands of Gou Hanshi.
Gou Hanshi is still very young, but no one will question his qualifications, because he has read through the Daozang, and even more because he was the one who wrote the exam this year.
Under the morning light, the literary examination ended smoothly, and the wind and waves were calm, and there was no change.
The people and gambling house stewards outside the palace who watched the excitement felt a little boring and felt that the atmosphere was a little weird.
I don't know if it was influenced by Chen Changsheng riding a crane across the river that year, this year's rules are more complicated and detailed, basically eliminating any opportunity for opportunism, and not prohibiting blocking opponents, so Lin Haili can see the sword light from time to time, and the danger is even more dangerous than back then.
The Great Dynasty Examination has not been held for three years, and the number of candidates who came to participate this year is extremely large, although the competition is relatively fierce, but there are still more than 200 candidates who finally successfully arrived on the other side of the Qujiang River, among which the results of Tiannan Huai Academy and Xingxing College are the most eye-catching.
Under the premise that the Seven Laws of the Kingdom of the Gods of Lishan are no longer participating, the young scholars of Huaiyuan are originally the popular candidates for this year's imperial examination, and everyone knows that their dean, Wang Po, is in Kyoto, and those young scholars are even more courageous, and their results are naturally outstanding. The reason why the officer students of the Star Picking Academy performed so well was because of the recent pressure on Kyoto, which had accumulated a lot of anger in the future of these Great Zhou military, and these anger had all turned into motivation today.
The final battle was still fought in the Dust Washing Building of the Aoba World.
The candidates entered the Qingxian Hall in turn, walked along the patterns on the ground, and then noticed a black-clothed girl with an indifferent expression.
The girl in black looked indifferent, holding a pot of green leaves in her arms.
Looking at her, the candidates remembered the important matters carefully told by the teachers before leaving, and their expressions couldn't help but change slightly, and they quickly looked away.
It wasn't until they entered the Aoba world and came to the outside of the Dust Washing Building that the candidates breathed a sigh of relief, and their faces showed a look of awe and surprise, and they began to talk about it
Even those young and mature scholars of Huaiyuan and the disciplined young officers of Star Picking Academy couldn't help but whisper a few words to their classmates.
"That girl in black is the legendary Frost Dragon?"
"His Holiness the Pope is truly remarkable, you must know that there has not been a dragon attendant in the palace for thousands of years. ”
"No wonder Akiyama-kun can't compete with His Majesty the Pope......"
"Silenced, carefully listened to by the little guy who left the mountain. ”
......
......
Not to mention that in the Aoba world, the direction of the candidates' discussions is getting more and more deviated, just to say that the atmosphere outside the palace has become more and more weird.
Whether it was the people watching the excitement or the vendors or the guys in the gambling house, they were too quiet.
If there is no excitement, then what are these people watching? No one is betting, so what is the point of this gamble?
Everyone was watching the Great Pilgrimage, but they didn't really care about it, they were thinking about something else.
Because no one thought that this year's big test would be so calm and smooth.
Something big will definitely happen today, but I don't know when it will happen.
Suddenly, a warning signal came.
There were more than a dozen straight and extremely thin lines in the clear blue sky, and only a strong person with excellent eyesight could clearly see that the afterimages that made up the lines were red.
More than a dozen red geese flew at high speed in the sky, except for landing in the palace and leaving the palace, the rest went in all directions.
If you are familiar with the distribution of the Great Zhou army, you can see that the places where the red geese go are where the imperial army is stationed.
The King of Linghai has been dealing with the imperial court all the year round, so he can naturally see it, but he doesn't care where these red geese will fly, but he cares more about where these red geese fly from.
The traces left by the red goose in the sky are gone, but they are still in his sea of consciousness.
His gaze followed the traces, and finally landed on the south of Kyoto, his expression extremely solemn.
There is the Heavenly Book Mausoleum.
Hu Thirty-two said in a low voice: "The chief of Cijian Temple has just left the Xuanwen Palace, and the four Sword Hall elders from the mountain have not come at all today.
"The old lady of the Mu Zhe family is out of the city. ”
Si Yuan Daoren squinted his eyes and said, "If everyone is going to the Heavenly Book Tomb, it will be so lively." ”
He did not hide his ambition and fighting spirit, because in anyone's opinion, this was an opportunity that the palace must seize.
The King of Linghai looked back at the secluded side hall in the depths of the palace, and felt slightly confused.
Are you still practicing swords?
