"Yes, Father. Xie Cheng nodded, but there were some doubts in his heart.

The official examination is a major event once every five years in Jinyang Prefecture, and the county leaders of the counties under the rule of the Fuzhong will recommend suitable talents to participate in the official examination in the prefecture three months in advance.

In Jinyang Mansion, almost every time, more than 1,000 people would go to participate, but in the end, only three people could get official positions and obtain the power of the Divine Court of the corresponding level, and ascend to the sky in one step, which was extraordinary.

——The official position of the Tang Dynasty is not only an official in the world, but also the god of the divine court, and can be blessed by the power of the divine court.

As long as the official rank is high enough, even an ordinary person can instantly become a powerhouse at the peak of the Qi Dao.

Therefore, the competition for each official examination is extremely fierce.

It is not uncommon for the big men of Fucheng to come to the county seat to select talents in person, but it usually happens when there is a shocking genius in a certain place.

This kind of talent who is selected in advance will directly enter the final round of the official examination.

The last time something like this happened in Jinyang Mansion was fifty years ago, and that wizard was now a powerhouse at the peak of the Qi Dao.

There doesn't seem to be such a character in Shanyang County.

And listening to his father's meaning, that big man came to Shanyang County just to select the talents of the Xie family.

This is even stranger.

The Xie family is considered a prestigious family in Shanyang County, but it is nothing in the entire Jinyang Mansion, at most it is a family heirloom Yanshu that is somewhat famous, and it is not powerful.

Although Yanshu is magical, it is only a plaything in the eyes of a real powerhouse, and the real power is itself, the Xie family does not even have a strong qi path, and it can only be regarded as a small family in Jinyang Mansion.

It is not worthy of the big man of the city to come in person.

"Now that you know, prepare well. I know you don't like to be disturbed, so you won't go in. Xie Yuanfeng said a word outside the door and left in a hurry, as if there was something urgent.

"It's weird. Xie Cheng frowned, he instinctively felt that Xie Yuanfeng's actions were not quite right, "However, even if it is really weird, it seems that with my current strength, I can't do anything." ”

Xie Yuanfeng is a powerhouse in the Dao Body Realm, and he also has many strong armor protections, and he is one of the best masters in Shanyang County.

Even if there was really any problem, with Xie Cheng's cultivation that he hadn't even completed the Yi Jin Pulp Cleansing, he wouldn't be able to help at all.

"Maybe it's my delusion. Xie Cheng shook his head, didn't think about it anymore, and focused his attention on the official examination in five days, and then he looked at the amber statue in his hand again, and muttered, "The official examination selection in five days." It is best to take this opportunity to go to Jinyang City. ”

The origin of this statue is likely to be related to the earth, and he does not want to give up the investigation.

It is likely that there will be clues in Jinyang City.

Thinking of this, Xie Cheng first put the amber in his hand on the table, walked to the bookshelf next to him and took out a thick book with a yellowed cover.

"Tianyun Past Official Examination Task Book".

Tianyun is the name of the current Tang Emperor, which records the tasks of the last round of the official examinations in the Tianyun years.

This thing was only placed on the bookshelf in Xie Cheng's room yesterday.

Xie Cheng is only sixteen years old now, and originally Xie Yuanfeng planned to let him go to Jinyang Mansion City to take the official examination three years later.

Now that I have encountered the big man in Fucheng, I have to prepare in advance.

The way to select talents in advance is usually to select them directly by means of official examinations.

However, the official examination is not an examination in the usual sense.

Instead, the power of the Tang Divine Court is used to communicate with the lower realm, allowing the examiners to descend to different worlds to complete the task, and finally evaluate the results by the completion of the task.

"The five-year official examination task of Tianyun: come to the 'Alien World' to kill the alien demons, and the one with a large number is preferred. ”

"The ten-year official examination task of Tianyun: come to the 'ghost world' to destroy the ghost tomb, and the fastest one is preferred. ”

"The fifteenth year official examination task of Tianyun: come to the 'Nine Kings World' to help the king dominate the world, and the final winner is the best. ”

......

"World" is the name of the Tang Dynasty for many nether realms, it is said that now the Tang Dynasty has explored countless "worlds", and people go to different nether realms to explore and obtain resources and treasures every moment.

Looking at the content of the tasks one by one, Xie Cheng had the feeling that he was reading an infinite stream of novels.

"What kind of existence is the Tang Divine Court, is this considered a kind version of the main god?" Xie Cheng sighed in his heart, closed the book, and muttered: "Judging from the content of these tasks, if you want to complete it, your own strength can't be too bad.

Whether it is killing alien demons, destroying ghost tombs, or choosing one of the nine kings to help them join the world in troubled times, I am afraid that it will require a level of cultivation of divine power.

I haven't even reached the peak of the refining realm now, but my father asked me to prepare, is there something wrong with it?"

On the way to cultivation, there are three realms of body, qi and spirit.

Among them, the "body" is divided into three levels: refining form, divine power, and dao body.

There are three steps in refining the form realm: building the foundation in 100 days, washing the marrow with easy tendons, and being reborn.

100 days of foundation building is the cultivation of laying the foundation, which usually only takes half a year to complete.

It takes a long time to accumulate and polish the marrow, and rebirth is a test of qualifications and exercises.

If you can cross over, you can open the secret of the human body and obtain extraordinary "divine power".

The current Xie Cheng is just entering the level of easy tendon washing, healthy, muscles and bones are stretched, light activities, and agile skills.

If you are on Earth, you may be able to mix up a municipal sanda champion, but you are not even a rookie here.

With such strength, taking the official examination is simply going to deliver food, even if the difficulty of the early selection should be easier than the final round of the official examination, he may not be able to complete it.

"Nothing really is going to happen. Xie Cheng was a little worried, there was something abnormal, most of them were problematic, "Let's inquire." ”

With a thought in mind, Xie Cheng put down the book in his hand, hid the amber under the bed, and walked out of the room.

Since Xie Yuanfeng didn't say it explicit before, it showed that he didn't want Xie Cheng to know, so he could only choose to ask others.

After bypassing the lake rockery in Xie Mansion Manor and walking through a long corridor, Xie Cheng came to the teaching field.

I saw a middle-aged man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and his body was eight feet long, training some family members in fist and foot kung fu.

"Uncle Wang, are you free now?" Xie Cheng took the initiative to walk to the middle-aged man's side and asked.

The middle-aged person's name is Wang Chong, and he is the only two Taoist realm powerhouses in Xie Mansion except for the head of the family, Xie Yuanfeng, and Xie Yuanfeng is a friend of life and death.

Because of the disaster at home and the loss of his family, he lived in Xie Mansion and did martial arts training.

However, his status is very high, it can be said that he is second only to the head of the family, and if something happens in the family, he should know something.

"Third son, why are you here?" Wang Chong was a little surprised, on weekdays, Xie Cheng would only come to the teaching ground in the afternoon to train.

"Uncle Wang, I want you to ask something. Xie Cheng said in a low voice.

Wang Chong's expression stiffened slightly when he heard this, his mind turned, he sighed, pulled Xie Cheng to a remote corner, lowered his voice and said, "The head of the family asked you to prepare for the official examination?"

"That's right. Xie Cheng nodded and said, "Uncle Wang, you really know, is there a problem that the people from Jinyang Mansion City came to select in advance this time?"

"It is indeed the big man in Fucheng who selects talents in advance. Wang Chong was silent for a moment and said: "But it's not just for the selection of talents, you should know the situation of the official examination." This time, you, the eldest son, and the second lady will all participate to complete a task together. ”

Xie Cheng's heart moved, and he frowned: "The real purpose of the people in Jinyang Mansion City is actually a task, and the official examination is just used to hide people's eyes?"

Wang Chong nodded solemnly and said, "The third son is smart. ”

"And what if the mission is not completed?"

"If it is not completed, the Xie family may be destroyed. ”

......

Wang Chongmu sent Xie Cheng out of the teaching room, then sighed slightly, and said, "Family Master, why are you doing this?"

As soon as the words fell, there was a ripple in the air like the surface of the water, and then a handsome middle-aged man in a green robe, wearing a jade crown and a long beard appeared out of thin air.

Ethereal Divine Power - Invisible.

This person is the head of the Xie family, Xie Yuanfeng.

In fact, he was already here when Xie Cheng arrived, and Wang Chong would tell Xie Cheng the truth about the matter, which was also instructed by him.

After suffering a life-and-death disaster, Zicheng's mind was much sharper. Xie Yuanfeng smiled and said, "I didn't want him to know about this, so as not to affect his performance during the mission." But since he noticed it himself, if he didn't explain it, it might make him feel sick, but it would not be good. ”

"Family Master, how sure are you this time?" Wang Chong Zhengse said: "The eldest prince and the second young lady have both been reborn and reached the peak of the Refining Realm. If it is equipped with the Burst Armor 'Red Flame', it may be able to break through the defenses of 'Tangjia Fort'. ”

"I am still confident in the strength of Ziming and Tong'er, if there is no accident, they should be able to break through the 'Tangjia Fort' and get the forbidden armor 'Phoenix Tail Destroying Mountain'. ”

Xie Yuanfeng looked in the direction where Xie Cheng was and said, "The only flaw is Zicheng, he is still young and his cultivation is weak. Equip him with the 'Thunder' Armor. ”

"Cang Lei! That can burst out three Yan armor that is comparable to the peak of the Dao Body Realm!" Wang Chong exclaimed, then exhaled a breath of turbidity, and said indignantly: "Sun Lian is really too deceitful, he doesn't care about the past at all, and he actually wants all three of your children to participate in the mission." ”

"Hey, he is the current Jinyang Mansion Lord, a strong Qi Dao, what are we? He needs the Phoenix Tail to destroy the mountain to deal with the True Gang Realm powerhouse of the Iron Sword Gate, we can only cooperate. ”

Xie Yuanfeng shook his head and said, "This is to force me to go all out to help them complete the task, the situation is stronger than people, what can I do?"

"Well, hopefully there won't be any damage. Wang Chong sighed and said, he grew up watching Xie Cheng and the others, and they had a good relationship, and he didn't want to see them have an accident.

......

Xie Cheng returned to his room and hurriedly took out a book of cheats on blue and yellow paper from the bookshelf.

"Iron Bull Strength".

Although the name is vulgar, this is a very good form refining technique.

It is said that when you cultivate to the pinnacle, you can also open the secret of the human body, obtain the "Nine Bull Divine Power", and even legend has it that you can also practice the "Golden Bull Spirit Body" and break through to the realm of the Dao body.

In some third-rate small sects, it can even be regarded as a fundamental practice for inheritance.

However, Xie Cheng didn't choose this exercise for any Taurus spirit body.

Rather, it is because this exercise can increase strength, strengthen muscles and bones, and the effect is extremely fast, and it can increase a lot of strength in two or three days at the earliest.

There are still five days left before the start of the selection, and a few points can be enhanced.

"Originally, I just wanted to be a son of a family with peace of mind, have nothing to tease the little girl, and marry a delicate beautiful lady in the future, and wait for death. ”

Xie Cheng helplessly flipped through the exercises in his hand and laughed at himself: "Why is there a disaster that is coming in a blink of an eye, is this the fate of the protagonist?"

But what about my gold finger?

As soon as this idea came to him, Xie Cheng found that there was a golden light flickering under his bed, and he grabbed this golden light in his hand casually.

It was the piece of amber that was rapidly melting away.

In the blink of an eye, the pine resin-like package on the outside disappeared, leaving only the statue carved by Xie Cheng himself.

"Hmm!"

Xie Cheng snorted, suddenly feeling dizzy, the light and shadow in front of him changed, and he trembled.

Immediately, he felt that his body suddenly sank, as if he had changed places.

"Greetings to the Daozun. ”

The soft and melodious voice suddenly sounded, like a clear spring flowing water, clear and moving.

At the same time as it entered Xie Cheng's ears, it also penetrated into his heart and spleen, making his whole person excited, and he turned around to look at his clothes.
