Emperor Xiaowu Xuandi looked ashamed, took a sip of wine, and said slowly: "Let me tell you the story of Xuanyu, the thieves of the Northern Kingdom are desert barbarians, who have wanted to invade the Central Plains for generations, but have been driven back again and again, until two thousand years ago, the Blood Yin Sect of Beiyan obtained an evil secret art, regardless of the opposition of the world, the Blood Yin Sect killed thousands of blood sacrifices, summoned the ancient evil dragon, and signed a contract with the evil dragon to ensure that Beiyan dominates the world, and the evil dragon can unscrupulously devour living beings in the Central Plains, and finally the blood flowed into a river. The destruction of life, the chaos in the world, and the reduction of the world to purgatory are simply a nightmare on earth. ...... It wasn't until later that Emperor Xuan, the ancestor of my ancestor, obtained a piece of Xuanyu, which possessed supreme mysterious power. In a bloody battle not long after, Emperor Taizu used the power of Xuanyu to seal the soul of the evil dragon, and finally broke the spell of the Blood Yin Sect. And the seriously injured evil dragon body was locked up in the Tianji Mausoleum by Taizu...... , so Xuanyu is related to the country of our dynasty, and the safety of the people of Limin, and must not fall into the hands of demons, once the evil dragon is resurrected, the consequences are unimaginable...... If it weren't for Ling Mei's serious illness, the emperor and queen repeatedly persuaded him that I would never have given this jade to the Xie family. ”

It turns out that Xuanyu has such a great relationship, and it seals the soul of the evil dragon, I am afraid that only the emperor knows this allusion.

Yi Shaotian arched his hand and praised: "Saving a life is better than a seventh-level floating slaughter, the emperor is kind-hearted, sympathetic to the people is the blessing of all the people, the emperor can rest assured, evil will not prevail." ”

Emperor Xiaowu Xuandi's eyes lit up, looked at him and said with a smile: "Yi Aiqing, since you rescued Master Xie's little sister, Xuanyu is also lost in your hands, and the Spring Mu Diagram is in your hands, which means that the will of heaven is so, it is better to leave this matter to you, and Xuanyu must be recovered." ”

Yi Shaotian was dumbfounded, this Emperor Xuan is too good at coming to things.

Xie Wen was also dumbfounded, puzzled that this Yi Shaotian was really articulate and could speak well, and he was not scolded for calling the emperor in person, and he was also called Aiqing, and he admired the five-body throw to the ground.

Emperor Xiaowu Xuan said: "Yi Aiqing, this matter is the first important thing I have given you, and I will be rewarded after the matter is completed, are you willing?"

Yi Shaotian was unhappy in his heart, but the emperor's order was difficult to disobey, in front of so many people, could he be unwilling? Don't be bad at taking the exam, the whole family will lose their heads. It seems that there is no free lunch in the world, he sighed in his heart, originally he wanted to mix some resources to facilitate brewing and alchemy, which shows that life is not easy.

He was reluctant but said with a smile: "Emperor, the lower officials are ordered, but I am alone, I'm afraid?" He wanted to ask for some benefits in front of Emperor Xuan.

"That's it, I went out of the palace this time, I have nothing to do, this gold medal is a carry-on thing, if you need to call Jingtianwei, just show this card, even in the imperial palace, it is unimpeded. ”

Yi Shaotian took the token and thanked the emperor, now he has two gold medals in his hand, one for the prince and one for Emperor Xuan, and he can't help but sigh in his heart, this thing can't be drunk as wine.

Emperor Xiaowu Xuan said: "Qingyun, if Lord Mu does not come back tomorrow morning, you will order Commander Shi and Xuanjing City to go and explore again, and order someone to quickly return to Beijing to spread my message, according to what Yi Aiqing said, you quickly pass on my message, and order Xiwei to send someone into the Ethereal Spirit Mountain to find out about this matter." ”

Qingyun commands.

Seeing that it was not early, Emperor Xiaowu Xuan drove back to his house, and Yi Shaotian did not leave immediately after sending the emperor off.

At the speed of Lei Heizi, he should have returned, he was drinking alone, Xie Qingling's figure appeared in his mind, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.

He looked at the runes in the mysterious avenue, looked at the evolved Nine True Diagrams, and thought to himself that he must be able to find something? I don't know how long it took, he still didn't find anything, but he faintly felt that there must be some connection between these mysterious avenues and the Nine True Diagrams.

He tried to condense two forces, the spiritual power roared in the dantian, and the spiritual power of the sea turned over the river and the sea, when these powers poured into the mysterious avenue like a rushing river, the runes began to flicker and make music, like the thunder of the ancient battlefield, and like the chanting of the gods.

Two forces rushed into the spring, and then poured into the Nine True Diagrams, and his eyes changed greatly, as if he saw another strange world, hazy and blurred.

Suddenly, a strong tremor woke him up, and he was pulled back to reality, and a burst of fire erupted from the ethereal mountain in the distance.

It seems that Lei Heizi can't come back today, he is a little worried, tomorrow is a big competition, he doesn't have time to find out now.

People rushed to the streets, looking in horror at the distant mountains.

Some timid people were so frightened that they panicked, and some even stumbled and shouted, "The end of the world is coming, the end of the world is coming." ”

"It must be the demons summoned by the Northern Yan Blood Yin Sect, they are coming back, as prophesied, they are coming back. "Ill-intentioned Demon Sect disciples mingled in the crowd to spread rumors.

A large number of animals have poured into the streets, constantly chirping, looking in the direction of the ethereal mountain in horror, only to see that the sea of fire that erupted was like a demon born from hell, and it was particularly eye-catching in the night sky.

The people of the government were dispatched, and the officials began to patrol the streets and shouted: "Don't be afraid, everyone, it's just a volcanic eruption, go back." ”

Fortunately, after this earthquake, it calmed down again, Yi Shaotian went to the street, bribed a large number of homeless people to secretly spread rumors, saying that the Ethereal Mountain is a heavenly palace, and there are countless immortal treasures, and then the Tianji Mausoleum treasure map has appeared in the Ethereal Mountain, and this firelight vision must be the manifestation of Taizu.

When he returned home, he slept until the sun rose three poles before he got up to change his clothes and wash.

The three of them went to the street full of energy and vigor, and today is the day when Xuanjing City will try to compete.

Yi Shaotian, Wen Youdao, and Zhu Donglai came to the examination room early in the morning, and the entire street and the examination room were crowded with people, as if they were not affected by yesterday's Ethereal Mountain incident at all.

In the crowd, Yi Shaotian saw Zhou Chenghai's figure from a distance, and Lu Shatian and the others behind him raised a weird sneer.

The examination was held in the Tiancheng Courtyard in the southeast of the city, and at this time the gate was already overcrowded, and officers and soldiers could be seen everywhere, and the guards were strict, and scholars and scholars from all over the world stepped into the solemn and sacred examination room at this moment.

Du Jingxuan also came, and everyone bowed their hands one after another.

They submitted the admission materials together, lined up into the venue to find their seats, in the Tiancheng Temple, there are small cubicles of the same size, and there are three candles standing on each table, each representing the time of the exam, and one can be lit every day until it burns out.

The chief examiners are Lord Liang and Master Cheng of the Ministry of Rites, plus fellow examiners and patrol officers, including officials such as promotion officers and invigilators outside the field, and 18 people up and down.

In addition, there are many officers and soldiers who are guarding the battle, waiting to ensure the safety of the Dabi examination room.

When the bell rang, the entire examination room was immediately quiet, the air seemed to have frozen, scholars and students bowed their heads in contemplation, some people worked hard to write, some scratched their ears and disturbed their cheeks, and some people were restless.
