February 18th, early morning
Just after midnight, Jiang Zinan woke up and dared not wake up his young master. He only put on his bellyband and crawled out of bed, carrying his clothes to the outer hall. He didn't want the cold wind to blow through the door and sneezed. He quickly covered his mouth, blushed and put on his clothes, preparing.
Ye Qing opened her eyes in the darkness, wanting to laugh but unable to do so. She looked quietly at the secluded veil, her nervousness gradually dissipating and she regained her clarity.
After a moment, the surrounding area of Gonghu was bustling with people. Regardless of whether they slept soundly that night or not, everyone in the courtyard quickly woke up and washed their faces with cold water, feeling refreshed.
Step over, lift the curtain of the inner room, and smell the aroma of Congee.
Zhou Ling came over to help her young master dress, while Jiang Zinan was cooking on the table, trying not to sound strange: "Did you sleep well, young master
Not bad! "Ye Qing didn't reveal her small anxiety, and there was actually no need to worry about it. The body without impurities always sleeps deeply, and it takes two to four hours to have sufficient energy and spirit.
Ye Qing's statement that she is not nervous is false. This is the moment when fate is determined, but as long as it is within a controllable range, it is normal.
From the perspective of communication this month, there are only a few hands that can have a body without impurities.
To put it bluntly, this is a difference in the system.
In times of peace, life comes from nature; in times of war, life comes from nature.
In times of peace, prioritize literature over military action; in times of war, prioritize military action over literature.
However, this avenue is the same. Ye Qing has always believed that if the so-called avenue cannot even extract commonalities with the secular world, then the "avenue" and "grand" are limited.
Reading to understand one's nature is only a reserve in the realm of Dao and mind, which can be summarized into the category of "nature", while the practice of Dao and Dharma belongs to the category of "destiny".
Wanqianjuzi has followed the path from nature to destiny, which may be strange to some, but Ye Qing increasingly feels that the rule of the Heavenly Court is truly refined, almost every word is not easy!
Sex is the field of the heart and does not involve strength. Is it easier to manage thousands of educated people, or are it easier to manage every armed warrior?
Any ruler with a bit of intelligence would not promote the concept of 'life before sex' and create a large group of powerful and knowledgeable heroes.
It's not like seeking death.
Of course, even if we have to prioritize life over sex, there is no long-term possibility. Why?
The reason is simple: poor in literature and rich in martial arts, even practicing martial arts requires a large amount of assets, let alone cultivating immortals?
Spiritual energy, elixirs, blessed land, and offerings are all indispensable. What would happen if they were taken down?
Ye Qing couldn't help but think of some chaotic worlds, where sects were divided, power was the only way to honor, production was not involved, the country existed in name only, and ordinary people were like ants, unable to produce civilization. Only the way of "killing" prevailed.
If we continue like this, our spiritual veins will dry up, people's livelihoods will wither, and we will enter the abyss of destruction.
In this world, if there is no guidance from heaven, it is difficult for millions of candidates to enter their destiny through nature. Among the 7000 candidates, less than ten percent have this capital.
Not to mention, cherishing the spiritual power reserves of heaven and earth, revering power, determining one's status, and conforming to the Tao are the only ways to last forever.
The essence of this world has almost reached the peak of individual transcendence of civilization, and the thought is truly terrifying and awe inspiring.
Ye Qing knew that his luck was not yet heavy, but he was essentially a person from the "war era", so he diligently laid the foundation, which is a far superior advantage over others.
After careful consideration, Ye Qing sat down at the dining table. Seeing the dazzling array of dishes, she smiled and said, "There's no need to do this. Actually, the free breakfast offered by the court is also quite good
How can we do that! "Jiang Zinan frowned." Gongdian is still free, can we stay
Speaking of which, I complain, "I usually don't do it. Last night, I don't know how many people tossed and turned. Upstairs, downstairs, front and back, I dare say that Ju Zi, who lives on the seventh floor, regretted it to death
Ye Qing couldn't help but laugh. After finishing her meal, she walked out to the entrance of the courtyard and said goodbye to them. Then she heard Fu Chengshan's voice say, "Brother Ye, let's go together
Look, I see the ox cart hanging up and a few friends waiting.
Smiling as he entered the curtains, the ox cart drove away, following the rolling traffic of the exam, passing through the streets and alleys, and soon arrived at the imperial city.
The car was parked in the Imperial City Square, feeling much warmer and indicating that it had entered the core area.
Ye Qing looked up at the sky and saw that it was still full of stars. It was a night so clear that it couldn't be any clearer. The entire sky was pale blue with a faint hint of white.
Dong, Dong, Dong! "The Kuiniu Dharma drum sounded heavily, shaking for ten miles with an indescribable solemnity. The people in the dark square suddenly fell silent.
The imperial city is a crucial location and the center of the imperial court. Everyone must walk along the Heavenly Street without scattering or crossing the line! "After three drums, a loud shout came from the city gate. The vermilion painted and copper nailed gate was opened, and the attendants fell silent as they entered in unison.
Yu Fan lined up in a long queue, closely following the crowd forward.
The team has two lanes, advancing halfway and seemingly stalling for some reason.
What happened
After whispering before and after, one person chuckled and said, "What else can we do? Hide the artifact! But what artifact can deceive the imperial city
Yeah, do you dare to cheat in the national exam? Immediately remove the successful candidate and never hire them. This successful candidate is over
I deserve it. I dare to cheat in the national exam, so I'm sure this fame also comes from cheating
Yu Fan frowned slightly, somewhat displeased with these private discussions. Before long, there was a commotion in the crowd ahead, and a pale faced Ju Zi was taken down, waiting for him to be deposed and exiled for thousands of miles.
This is the person in the opposite row. Everyone in the opposite row has an unwavering expression on their faces, feeling quite unlucky, but they are all silent. The team paused for a moment before continuing to move forward, and then fell behind a bit.
Yu Fan didn't care and glanced at him, his eyes shrinking.
Encountered at close range, Ye Qing and Yu Fan both smiled and gestured, their hands tightly clenched in their sleeves.
Are you close friends from the same hometown? "Kong Zhi and Tang Zhongchen looked at Yu Fan and their eyes lit up." Your demeanor and demeanor are indicative of your talents. There are many talented people in Yingzhou. Let me introduce them
Ye Qing's expression was melancholic, and she smiled with a hint of melancholy. "This person, Yu Fan, from the Yu family of Yingzhou, was indeed a hero in the world after his founding achievements. But to be honest with you, he is my mortal enemy
That means the road to becoming enemies is narrow! "Kong Zhi smiled and withdrew his gaze.
Fu Chengshan remained silent and stared at Yu Fan for a long time before saying, "What Brother Ye said is that this son indeed has great talent
A serious official had already looked over at the door, indicating that no noise was allowed. Those who were still speaking privately had restrained themselves and returned to their original state of silence.
Ye Qing was still examining the dragon patterned jade plates one by one, but she was a little lost in thought.
Juren have already entered the ruling class and are seeking a position of one or two officials in the county. If they don't want to live a long life, they even have a "golden house, a thousand millet bells, and a beautiful face".
But if you want to ascend to the rank of Qingzi, become a prime minister, or even live a long life, you still have to fight here. However, in the past, when checking magic weapons, Chuanlin's notes couldn't find them. What about this time?
Just as she was thinking, it was her turn. She handed over the dragon patterned jade disc, and a ripple swept over her. Ye Qing held her breath, but felt that this sweep made her feel completely naked.
But neither of the officials on either side showed any unusual behavior. After a pause, they said, "Go in
Ye Qing breathed a sigh of relief and stepped in. As soon as she entered the gate, she felt her whole body warm and entered Tianjie.
The Heavenly Street of this world refers to the main road inside the imperial city. On both sides of the Heavenly Street, there are guards standing at every ten steps, each wearing armor and standing still, exuding a sense of awe.
Everyone can only walk in the middle. Ye Qing saw that the road was flat, the jade belt surrounded by clear water, the White Marble bridge fence, and the towering hall was opposite from afar.
Ye Qing, Fu Chengshan, Kong Zhi and others remained silent for a moment until they stood in front of the imperial examination hall, with a few strands of cold sweat oozing from their faces.
In front of the gate of the examination hall is a large memorial archway, with a purple plaque "Tiankai Wenyun" hanging in the middle. The writing is strong, and the people who hold the memorial are all eye-catching. It is said that it was written by the Emperor Taizu of our dynasty.
Don't make any noise! "Said the ceremonial officer holding a whip, who flicked it in the air and spoke.
Upon entering the imperial examination hall, several people were scattered in order and separated. Ye Qing dared not ask further questions and was only led by the invigilator to a large hall.
Ye Qing noticed that there were two side halls on both sides. Without further ado, he climbed up three levels of stairs. Under the pillars, there was a long corridor with guards standing on each level. Occasionally, eunuchs and palace maids would come and go, walking lightly without looking away.
Under such grandeur, he dared not make a sound and led towards the entrance of the hall, entering the magnificent gate where a bright light shone inside.
The palace dome is deep, and the floor light can reflect shadows. Rows of neatly hanging candle holders above the hallway have been lit up, illuminating both the inside and outside.
Rows of tables and chairs stand tall, each three feet long, with pen holders and ink stones on top. The corners of the tables are numbered, which is basically the same as the Earth Time exam. Ye Qing is not surprised either - this is the least costly type of organization in large-scale organizations.
The examination seats are relatively sparse, and Ye Qing looks densely packed, with no less than three thousand people, forming a huge matrix.
I have something else to explain to you. You can still go out of court now. If you want to go out of court, someone can lead you. But once you enter the hall and leave at noon, you are not allowed to go out of court
Although it may be disrespectful, it is human nature that must be explained. "The deputy examiner at the entrance declared for the last time that if you enter, you are not allowed to come out again. This has happened in previous years, but in terms of physical fitness, it is rare to see it once in a hundred years.
All of this was resolved beforehand, and without anyone responding, they were all introduced into the hall, numbered on stage, and randomly seated on the spot.
There is a jade seal hanging high in front of the hall, and on the table, in addition to the signature box, there is also a glass leaky pot. The ticking sound of water has already leaked almost half.
There was a Taoist sitting behind him, with no unusual appearance. However, when Ye Qing drew his license plate, his eyes matched his, and the Chuanlin Notes, which were still functioning in his body, suddenly went into a state of dormancy. Ye Qing's instinct was aroused, and he quickly gathered his mind, put away his license plate, and retreated to the audience. His palms were already sweating profusely.
I'm afraid this Taoist won't be able to defeat the Dragon Lord. It's the first time in this world that we've seen humans have such a path, it's really terrifying and enviable... "Thinking for a moment, Ye Qing's mind had calmed down. As a scholar, there was no need to pay attention to any other factors at this time.
The Taoist's eyes flickered and he smiled silently.
There are really good seeds in this class, with no impure body and the aura of the Head. However, these people, seeing their solid foundation and pure martial arts, may have been selected by the Black Emperor's faction long ago. Now they are just passing the stage.
However, although such incidents are rare, they are not uncommon either. With just one thought, this Taoist calmed down.
At this moment, Ye Qing ignored these things and found his seat according to his exam number. This was the table and chair on the left side of the middle, and he immediately sat down.
