Chapter 425: Crisis

"There's something strange at the bottom of this pit!"

Yi An didn't have time to think about it, with his super perception, he noticed the unusual place in the center at a glance, at first Yi An didn't recognize it, until he got closer, he found that the center was an altar, which was not made of mud and stone, but completely made of a piece of green jade, which looked extremely luxurious.

But then again, the fate star is only a special kind of fate, and it is impossible to reverse the grim situation in front of the Yanbei Dynasty in an instant.

As for whether it is possible, it remains to be verified, but Xuan Mingzi does not agree with this statement.

"Speaking of which, it's very likely that you've seen him before. Lin Shiyin smiled.

"I don't know how to say this?" Xuan Mingzi was a little unconscious, it stands to reason that as long as it is someone he has seen, it is impossible not to have an impression, but the information about the natal stars, except for those seen above the celestial phenomena, he can be sure that he has not had contact with the other party.

Lin Shiyin only then told the relationship between Yi An and Yiren Mansion, and also included Yi An's not weak cultivation, but she clearly remembered that when she first met Yi An, the other party was clearly just a weak scholar, but she never thought that only a few months had passed, and the other party surpassed her in one fell swoop.

This made Lin Shiyin suddenly devastated, you must know that the reason why she was able to enter the Returning Yuan Realm was not only with the guidance of Xuan Yingzi, but also with the support of a lot of cultivation resources, but on the other hand, Yi An actually relied on her own strength to get to this point again.

As for why Lin Shiyin said this, it also has something to do with Yi An's cultivation, when the Inhuman Mansion is in danger, Yi An has no reason to stand idly by.

When Xuan Mingzi heard this, he suddenly realized that if this is the case, then he is really very likely to have a relationship with the other party.

However, his attention at that time was not on the body of the Inhuman Mansion, except for those few people who had a good cultivation that could make him have some impressions, even if the others had seen it, they only had a quick glimpse.

Lin Shiyin suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly took out the portrait she had made earlier in order to find Yi An's whereabouts in Chang'an City.

Although this portrait cannot be said to be exactly the same as Yi'an, it also has a seventy or eighty percent look.

"It turned out to be him!" Xuan Mingzi recognized the person on the portrait at a glance, after all, Yi An was one of the few night wanderers in the Inhuman Mansion, he still had some impressions, plus Yi An was young, and he had such an extraordinary cultivation, which made him can't help but take a few more looks.

"Could it be that the Taoist knows each other?" Lin Shiyin's beautiful eyes turned, she actually just mentioned it casually, but she didn't expect Xuan Mingzi to really see Yi An.

"It's not about acquaintance, but there was a one-sided relationship, at the beginning I wondered, when did such a talented monk appear in the Inhuman Mansion again, it turned out that the other party turned out to be the identity of the life star, no wonder he reached the cultivation of the night travel realm at a young age. When Xuan Mingzi said this, his heart can be said to be full of emotion, the legendary star of life, sure enough, is favored by heaven and earth, I am afraid that it will not take three years and five years, or even shorter, the other party will be able to reach the realm of daily travel that is difficult for ordinary people to reach in their lives.

Even, with the other party's unique talent, it is very likely to break the shackles of the day travel realm.

But then again, the identity of the natal star is inherently special and cannot be taken by common sense.

Hearing this, Lin Shiyin couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, Yi An actually had the cultivation of the Night Wandering Realm, the other party had never told her about it before, but she knew what the Night Wandering Realm represented, but Yi An had grown to such a point in just a few months, which made Lin Shiyin couldn't help but have a feeling of inauthenticity.

As for the authenticity of this matter, Lin Shiyin did not doubt that the Xuanming Dao Chief would not be groundless.

It seems that Yi An still has a lot of things to hide from her.

Next, let her uncover the mystery of the other party layer by layer.

Xuan Mingzi didn't delay too much time here, and then quickly climbed to the stargazing platform to prepare.

This stargazing platform was left by the previous Inhuman Mansion Master, that is, Ling Xuzi, the master of Xuanyangzi and Xuanyingzi.

After this incident, Lin Shiyin had no intention of going out again, let alone dealing with government affairs, but waited for the good news of the Xuanming Daoist under the stargazing platform.

The time soon came to night, and under the moonlight, a ray of starlight fell on Xuan Mingzi's face, cold and bright.

While he deduced a conspiracy about the Moro Sect in his heart, he did not forget to gaze at the stars above the nine heavens.

Every time he cast the Astrological Technique, it was a great drain for him.

I don't know how long it took, Xuan Mingzi looked certain at this time, and exhaled a mouthful of turbid breath, because of excessive consumption, his face also became a little pale.

When Xuan Mingzi just stepped off the stargazing platform, Lin Shiyin couldn't wait to ask, "Dao Chief, what progress is there?"

"I don't know exactly what the Moro cult is plotting, but it is almost certain that even after decades, the Moro plot has not succeeded, which shows that the plot of the Moro cult has reached an unimaginable level. Xuan Mingzi said with a somewhat solemn face.

But on the whole, there is still a possibility of remediation for this matter.

Moreover, it indirectly reflects that this matter is extremely difficult, at least, in a short period of time, the Moro conspiracy will not succeed.

They have no countermeasures for this matter for the time being, but they are not in a hurry.

After all, decades have passed, and there is no time to delay.

......

Early the next morning, Lin Shiyin summoned a group of examiners who presided over the examination.

After the end of the examination, a group of examiners led by Chen Jianru did not dare to delay and began to read the papers on the spot in the Gongyuan, and after a few days, they finally completed all the examination papers.

However, for the finalization of the top three, they can't make claims, and the top three need to be seen by His Majesty in person before the final dust can be settled, so they directly took the top ten test papers and handed them to Lin Shiyin to reassess the ranking.

This is also to prevent the examiners from favoritism, even if those examiners have no dissent, this matter has to be prevented in advance, only by doing it herself, Lin Shiyin can feel at ease.

Lin Shiyin said with a smile: "If you want to come to Chen Wenhe, you should be able to shine in the exam, right?"

Chen Wenhe is Chen Jianru's nephew.

Chen Jianru was dumbfounded when he heard this, he should have avoided suspicion in this matter, but his nephew is Xie Yuan of Chang'an City, and he has been famous for a long time, plus this will try the final judgment, but it depends on His Majesty's intentions, so naturally there will be no favoritism, even if his identity is a little special, but outsiders will not say anything.

Chen Jianru has high hopes for his nephew, originally according to his understanding of this year's candidates, with his nephew's talent, there is a chance that he can be among the best, and even win the great honor of three yuan, it is not impossible, but after making a judgment, this makes him worry in his heart.

Among the top ten test papers, there are three extraordinary test papers, and before the list is released, even the examiner is not qualified to open the seal without permission.

The imperial examination system, although it is still difficult to eliminate the existence of black sheep, is actually relatively fair, and it has opened up a bright road for countless poor disciples.

In the beginning, there were not too many problems in the imperial examination, but as time went by, the imperial examination system gradually began to show some fatal drawbacks.

Emperor Taizu found that the so-called imperial examination has become a tool for some people to seek benefits, because there is no relevant sealing system at this time, so when the examiner approves the test paper, he can see the candidate's name, and it is precisely because of this that some examiners will deliberately show mercy to those they are familiar with when marking the papers, and even deliberately give him high scores.

Even this matter has gradually formed an unwritten rule, if you want to be on the list, only talent is not enough, if you don't hand over the examiner, then the examiner will greatly discount your results when grading.

Therefore, in every imperial examination, the examiner is the biggest beneficiary, and he will make a lot of money every time.

In this way, the imperial examination system has completely lost the meaning of using the imperial examination to recruit talents from all over the world, to put it mildly, this practice will make the country continue to lose the pillars of the material, and will eventually lead to the destruction of the country, so Emperor Taizu attaches great importance to this phenomenon, and ordered the relevant personnel to come up with a solution, and later, they thought of a way to obfuscate the names of the candidates. Only after all the papers have been marked will the names on the papers be revealed.

In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, before each imperial examination, the imperial court will closely monitor these examiners to prevent anyone from fornicating with the examiners and reaching their own ulterior secrets.

Although there are still drawbacks, this has greatly changed the phenomenon of favoritism.

Although Chen Jianru can recognize which one was made by his nephew by virtue of his handwriting, the other two are not weaker than his nephew's test papers, and even one of the points put forward is even more eye-catching.

This incident really made his heart a little bitter, if the Chen family wants to prosper, there must be some talents, so that they can inherit the huge family business of the Chen family and be independent.

It's a pity that his sons are difficult to take on big responsibilities, and only one of them has won the lift, but on top of the exam, he has been repeatedly unsuccessful, and he has taken several subjects in a row, and even the top three have not been examined, and as for the other sons, it is even more unsuccessful.

If the huge Chen family is handed over to them, I am afraid that the Chen family will not be far from decline.

On the contrary, Chen Wenhe, this nephew, at a very young age, showed amazing talent, after stepping into the imperial examination, he passed all the way, first won the small three yuan in a row, and not long ago, he won the top spot in the Chang'an Township Examination in one fell swoop.

According to this posture, Chen Wenhe is very hopeful that he will be able to prosper again, and in this way, the Chen family will be prosperous.

It's just that the current Chen Jianru is only left with a wry smile, and all the decision-making power is on His Majesty.

If this matter was assessed by him, he could still take a risk and push his nephew to the position of Huiyuan, after all, the difference between the three test papers was not very big.

It's a pity that the decision-making power in this matter is not in his hands, and only His Majesty controls the power of life and death.

The old minister was ashamed. Chen Jianru didn't deny it, he just hoped that His Majesty could look at his face and take care of his nephew.

Lin Shiyin said with a smile: "This time in the exam, what are the amazing and glamorous people?"

Chen Jianru hurriedly submitted the top ten test papers, and added: "Your Majesty, these three are the best test papers in our opinion, and I would like to ask Your Majesty to take a look." ”

Lin Shiyin glanced down at it, and directly tore the seal that covered the candidate's name on the ten test papers.

She quickly glanced at it, successfully found Yi An's name, and then quietly looked away.

"These are the three good test papers?" Lin Shiyin looked at the three test papers that Chen Jianru pushed towards her, and couldn't help but flash a smile, because Yi An's name was also among them.

Sure enough, it is worthy of being a destiny star, not only is his cultivation so strong, but even his attainments in reading are extraordinary.

Seeing this, Chen Jianru's heart couldn't help but tighten, the next is an important moment related to Chen Wenhe's fate, although the first place in the examination does not mean that he can win the champion, but generally speaking, His Majesty will also consider it comprehensively when choosing the champion.

Moreover, this is also extremely important for a scholar's resume, and it will also play a crucial role in the future career.

Liu Xiqian followed the direction of the test paper, and also saw the word Yi'an, and it was also the three excellent works they had previously evaluated, according to him, these three test papers have their own merits, but basically they are not far behind.

Doesn't this mean that Yi'an has a great possibility of seizing Huiyuan or even the champion in the future.

Once the other party enters the official career, he is bound to rise to the top, and even reach a height far beyond him.

Thinking of this, Liu Xiqian's face suddenly showed a hint of imperceptible joy, he had previously surrendered his identity and befriended the other party, and he could be regarded as a good fate.

All in all, Yi'an is at the top, and it's already a sure thing.

If you wait for the other party to make friends after high school, it will inevitably seem a little snobbish.

After carefully reading the top ten test papers, Lin Shiyin had a plan in her heart, which was indeed like Chen Jianru's three comparisons.
