At three o'clock, Hanlin Temple.

Thousands of empty alleys, bustling.

Feige Liudan, Guidian Lan Palace.

The phoenix cries, and the birds all over the field gather their wings.

The dragon is watching, and the mountains and beasts are crawling.

The two couplets that have been sung all over the world are still hanging high on the mountain gate of the Hanlin Academy, like a dragon and a phoenix looking down on all living beings. At this point, the candidates who went to the examination all stopped and raised their heads, looked up and admired, sighed, and at the same time were shocked. What is admired is the vigorous calligraphy of the young man's pen and the domineering rhyme of the king. sighs, he won for a while but lost for a long time. And what was shocking was the girl's all-out and leaky vision and layout. As the literary examination room of the Tang Dynasty National Examination, the Hanlin Academy invigilated the students of the imperial court and performed the responsibility of fairness and strictness. And the two couplets that should be-for-tat are placed here at this time, but they just reflect the majesty of the current inspector of the Hanlin Academy. Just like the phoenix singing birds, just like the dragon and the beast, it is timely and more courageous!

"This crazy woman is really rebellious. ”

"Maybe it's a coincidence, after all, she hasn't been broken by Xia Xun. ”

This is a mistake, and it is very coincidental that such arithmetic is very coincidental. And Xia Xun is a loser, not a winner.

"Where's the loss?"

Hanlin Temple, outside the mountain gate.

There is an endless stream of students going to the exam, and the river is flowing in.

The towering old tree was broken by the bark of the reins, and the official road was almost full of carriages and horses at this time, and the servants and attendants who accompanied the candidates were silently waiting on the side of the road, and the companions who knew each other rested under the shade of the trees, and there were official officials patrolling the road from time to time. Therefore, although there are many people, order is maintained quite well.

Three young men and women dressed in purple waited under the mountain gate, which was particularly eye-catching in the crowd of streams.

The one in the center is Bai Xiu, she has changed into a rather luxurious purple and gold silk robe for some reason today, her long hair is coiled in a bun and wears a double phoenix pattern gilt silver hairpin, her feet are covered with brocade boots, and she is holding a little white pig sleeping in her hand.

Standing half a step behind her was a pair of men and women who were somewhat similar in appearance, temperament, and figure. The men are slightly tall, the women are elegant, they are all dressed in purple orchid robes, the snow-white piping embroidered with elegant bamboo leaf patterns and the mutton fat jade hairpin on their heads complement each other, subtly highlighting the two extraordinary figures. The smile is quite a bit of a merry young Tongda, and the apricot-shaped eyes are the brilliant brilliance of the galaxy in the middle, and there is a hibiscus under the moon that is enchanting but gentle and elegant.

"It's about winning and losing. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Don't forget, Xia Xun is also a candidate today. ”

Bai Xiu asked, and the man looked up at the two couplets at the mountain gate with a smile, and continued: "That crazy woman can come out with this couplet, she must have expected the grand occasion of the national examination today. Canglong Luan Phoenix, Walking Beasts and Birds, Xia Xun is wonderful when he is connected to this, but the stars are moving, today Hanlin is the real dragon and phoenix, and the next day is a bird and beast, and Xia Xun will be admitted to the hospital to take the exam, then he is also one of the birds and beasts. You say, didn't he slap himself in the face?"

"Oh..."

The small mouth opened slightly, and suddenly realized.

Only then did Bai Xiu react, why did the Wen Sheng, who was passing by before, feel sorry for Xia Xun's next link: "This crazy woman is so insidious, she actually makes such indiscriminate methods trick people." ”

"Huh. ”

The woman standing behind Bai Xiu chuckled, and at the same time stretched out a hand and rubbed the back of Bai Xiu's head, and said with a smile: "Xiaoxiu, this is not a bad thing." Before going to Beijing, my ancestor told us to be careful of this woman, and we can fight with her head-on, or not get into a stalemate with her, which shows that her arithmetic is that the older generation is afraid of it. You must not underestimate her. ”

"Hmph. Bai Xiu disagreed, looked at the sky, and said disdainfully: "You haven't seen Xia Xun's power." If he is left to the scheme, he will definitely be able to bully that crazy woman to the point that he has no power to fight back, so don't grow others here, I am angry when I hear it. ”

"Hehe..."

The arrogance of the white embroidery made the woman behind her feel angry and funny, and she not only shook her head: "It's not about the majesty of others, but about facing any threatening opponent." Xia Xun is certainly high, and we heard of his great reputation when we were in Dongzhou's hometown. But compared to the mad woman, he still seems too soft-hearted..."

"Eh, don't talk about it, they're coming!"

Before the woman finished speaking, Bai Xiu's eyes suddenly lit up and she was pleasantly surprised.

looked at it casually, but saw two figures walking at the west end of the official road. One tall and one short, one flowing green shirt, one wooden flute robe.

"Eh, Xia Xun..."

Bai Xiufang was afraid that the visitor would not see him, so he hurriedly waved his palm high and shouted loudly: "Xia Xun, Wukong, I'm here!"

"Huh?"

"Xia Xun?!"

"Goku?!"

“......”

Bai Xiu didn't shout, and as soon as he shouted, he immediately stopped shouting at the students who went to Kao Wensheng near the mountain gate of Hanlin Academy.

The crowd stopped, followed the sound and turned back, and then looked at the distance, and the people who came were suddenly surprised. Without it, the two names shouted by Bai Xiu are too sensitive. The former came to Beijing in January and made many incidents in a row, and even the couplets on the Hanlin archway are all from his hand, which is famous and not good. The latter is even more, although the little monk is low-key, he is ranked second on the imperial list by Linyuan Pavilion. Everybody knows, everybody knows. And...

"He's Xia Xun, and that monk is Sun Wukong?"

"Eh, it is reasonable for Xia Xun to come to the literary examination, this Monkey King is called the Bodhisattva of the flesh by Linyuan Pavilion, and the second on the list of emperors of combat power, how can he also come to the literary examination?"

"Could it be that this little monk is better than force?"

“......”

Suspicions arose, and there were many surprises.

The strange gazes cast by everyone made Xia Xun feel uncomfortable, so he couldn't help but lead the little monk to silently speed up a lot. And the white embroidery at the gate of the mountain seemed to find that he had lost his words, so he quickly shut up and put down his beckoning, pretending to be very innocent.

"Hey. ”

Facing the strange gaze, he hurriedly walked past the crowd to the mountain gate. Before Xia Xun could speak, Bai Xiu scolded the wicked person first: "Hey, why are you two so late, but I'm about to stand like a log here." ”

"Amitabha, Lord Li Shi is early. ”

"Wukong's little master is early. ”

"Uh..."

The little monk Shili and Bai Xiu greeted each other, Xia Xun touched the bridge of his nose, and when he glanced around, he saw that the crowd had not dispersed, so it was not easy to speak too bluntly, so he had to turn around and say, "Arrange something, so it's late." ”

"Hmph, you owe me a meal anyway. ”

"Do you owe another meal?"

"Or else?"

"Hehe..."

Xia Xun glanced at the topic with an embarrassed smile, then looked at the young men and women behind Bai Xiu, arched his fists, and said politely: "Xia Xun, the disciple of the Xia family in Xiajiang Valley, has not yet consulted the two Ya names. ”

The woman returned the salute and said, "In the lower Dongzhou, the children of the dance clan - Wulan." ”

The man also returned the salute: "Under the dancing vine." ”

"Dancing Twin Pride?"

Hearing the names of the two of them, Xia Xun instantly extracted these four words from his thoughts. According to the records of the Emperor List of Linyuan Pavilion, this pair of brothers and sisters is not ordinary. Both of them went out to the Dongzhou Dance Clan, one of them was born with a phoenix bloodline, and the other was a god of nirvana and returned to their ancestors, both of them were young Tianjiao who had already moved the world, ranking 24th and 67th respectively on the emperor list...

Thinking of this, Xia Xun seemed to have an epiphany and looked at Bai Xiu, and said with emotion: "I'll just say, the Shuangjiao of the Wu clan didn't go to Zhenwu to swing, but came to study with you, the princess, are you so confident." ”

"What do you mean, don't you look down on me?" Bai Xiu was immediately unhappy when she heard this.

Xia Xunhe smiled and waved his hand to explain: "No, no, no... I just think you're amazing, admire and admire. ”

Bai Xiu said with a smile: "Heh, don't patronize and admire, but don't forget what you promised me." I'll settle the invigilator, you have to help me settle the questions, or I can't get into the top three, but you are the only one who asks. ”

"Speak quietly. ”

"Oh, yes. ”

"Hey, let's talk as we go. ”

“......”

A group of five people then walked into the mountain gate.

Xia Xun Bai embroidered sneakily chattering as he walked, as if discussing some bad thoughts that had been agreed upon. Others have sharp ears, but they can only hear the first few words, and the rest of them can't hear anything clearly. Xia Xun never glanced at the couplet at the gate of the mountain, as if it was none of his business at all, and stepped over with one foot.

The five of them followed the crowd up the long stone staircase...

At this time, the square of the Hanlin Temple was already crowded.

The radius was cleaned for several miles, neatly and neatly. Every seven feet is placed in a pavilion, a wooden chair is placed on the desk, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, there are four-foot screens around the pavilion, a rattle is hung, and a note with a name is also pasted. If a person sits in it, it is like sitting in a box, and the front and back and left and right sides are blocked by screens, and only the upper part can be seen. Moreover, there is a high chair every 100 zhang in the square, and if the invigilator sits on it, he can see the square circle at a glance, and it is basically impossible for ordinary people to cheat.

Of course, that's just ordinary people...

It does not include extraordinary people.

Xia Xun and his entourage of five people slowly came to a high place on the edge of the Hanlin Academy Square, and then stopped, quietly looking down at the candidates who came and went or had already sat in the pavilion, sneaky and muttering.

At this time, in the square, many students from the Hanlin Academy have already taken their seats, because there is no so-called quota limit for the protégés of the Son of Heaven, so as long as they are disciples of the Hanlin Academy, almost all of them are here today. There is a huge examination room, and the students are occupied by them for two percent. And the second is the Taoist of the Pure Yang Palace, as the head of the world, the branches of the Pure Yang Palace almost walk through every city in the Tang Dynasty, and one view of two places plus one piece is also a large number, so they account for nearly one percent. The remaining seventy percent were mostly vacant seats, and many people were waiting on the side like Xia Xun and them, and the others had nothing to do and chatted and refused to sit down. Perhaps, it's because of the unfamiliarity of life...

"Can the seats be arranged?" Xia Xun asked in a low voice.

"Don't worry, it's already arranged. Bai Xiu raised his hand and pointed to the vacant seats on the south side of the square, and continued: "Right there, the third formation, two columns, seventy-six rows, you are on my left hand, Master Wukong's right hand, and Wuteng Wulan is in front and behind." ”

Xia Xun looked into the distance as Bai Xiu pointed out, but at first glance he found an acquaintance. White clothes and white robes, white hats and white yarns, you don't need to get close to look at it, it is cold, and this person is leisurely. She sat in front of the white embroidered fingers.

"Why did you put me behind her?" Xia Xun asked.

Bai Xiu made a mischievous grimace: "Isn't this good? I've asked you everything, and her cultivation is even worse than yours." This time, we have revenge, revenge, and revenge, when you help me settle the volume, and I will also smooth out her volume, I think he will dare to do it. ”

"Uh..."

The index finger touched the bridge of the nose in embarrassment, and pondered for a moment.

Although Bai Xiu was naughty, this also made Dexia Xun see her righteousness towards her friends, and more truly saw a trace of energy behind her. The national examination is fair and strict, and it has attracted worldwide attention, but the big man behind Bai Xiu can play with the rules like a child's play, and this energy is not available in the harem. Perhaps, the world thinks she is too small.

After thinking for a moment, Xia Xun said: "That's it, it's not a gentleman's job for me to help you set up the papers, if I still go to put her papers, then I will really become a villain." Let's do our thing in peace. ”

Bai Xiu blinked strangely: "Don't you want to take revenge?"

"Yes. ”
