Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 968 Preparation
The first to announce is the main examiner.

"This year's Intermediate Ceremony will have two main examiners," Dongfang Yi said solemnly to the many young people in the audience, "The two main examiners will be His Majesty and the old man."

The first sentence had already startled the young people in the audience, and the audience was completely fried when they heard it.

"Two chief examiners?"

"What? The King of Soochow actually took the exam in person. This has never happened in 20 years!"

"At the Southern Chu Elementary Ceremony, there was only the second prince sitting in charge!"

Ying Baoyue looked a little surprised but also a little clear.

First of all, it was shocking that there would be two main examiners, but since Zhao Muren decided to do it himself, he would naturally be the main examiner.

It is true that the royal family of the primary and middle-level ceremonies will send someone to sit in the town, but very few kings will be the examiners in person, and they usually choose important princes and famous immortal officials in the clan.

With such a comparison, the lineup of the Southern Chu Primary Ceremony was instantly compared to scum.

"Soochow really attaches great importance to this year's intermediate ceremony..."

"After all, it hasn't been done for six years, and this year..." The practitioner who was whispering at the bottom pouted towards the west, and when they saw the Xirong people with a calm expression, everyone immediately understood.

"There are people from Xirong, so it's no wonder that the king of Dongwu wants to go out in person." Jiang Yuanyuan took a deep breath, "The king of Dongwu is going to watch these Xirong people in person."

Soochow was forced to let the Xirong people enter the country. This year's mid-level ceremony was full of energy, obviously anticipating that there would be a fierce battle in the future.

"I don't know who the two assistant examiners are." Ji Jiashu frowned slightly.

There are two main examiners, and naturally no less than two assistant examiners, but there should be very few heavenly practitioners in Soochow.

"Hey, do you think it's Mr. Zhaohua?" Chen Zichu winked his eyes on the stage.

If it is, it will shock the whole continent again, after all, there has never been an examiner in his early 20s...

Ji Jiashu looked at Li Ji who was standing quietly by the side of the altar, and took a deep breath, "If he doesn't participate in the middle-level ceremony, it's not impossible."

"Yes, yes," Chen Zichu nodded, before realizing it in the next moment, "Wait, Mr. Zhaohua really wants to participate in the middle-level ceremony?"

Li Ji had never come to the stage to pay homage to Taizu's handwriting before, so he almost forgot about this rumor.

"Of course it's true," Ji Jiashu glanced at a girl beside him, "otherwise why would he seal the acupuncture points with golden needles?"

Is there a problem in the head to make myself suffer?
Gold needle sealing hole...

Ying Baoyue, who was glanced at intentionally or unintentionally, twitched her fingers with a subtle expression.

"Then...then why didn't he pay homage to Taizu's calligraphy when he was going to participate in the middle-level ceremony?" Chen Zichu asked in a daze before he could react.

"Do you think he needs to read it?" Ji Jiashu said calmly, "Soochow only has the first few volumes."

It is not necessary.

Chen Zichu helped his forehead.

Zhaohua Lord Li Ji has already ascended to the heavenly rank, and if he ascends further, he will be the Son of God. The first few volumes of Taizu's handwriting are pediatrics for him, and he will not need it at all!

People are more popular than dead people!
Thinking of competing on the same stage with such a person, Chen Zichu looked bitter.

"Prince of the county," Chen Zichu sighed inexplicably to Zhao Guang, who was looking to the side, "you Dongwu people really live and learn."

They have all become heaven ranks and have to participate in the middle rank ceremony.

"I'm sorry, but my second brother is only four years older than you." Zhao Guang's mouth twitched slightly, "Don't make him look like he's seventy or eighty?"

Only four years older than him...

Chen Zichu's expression became more and more sad.

Xu Yishan, Chen Zihan, Guichen and others of the same age also looked unhappy.

"Okay, okay," Ying Baoyue interrupted the sad teenagers around him, "The candidate for the deputy examiner has been selected."

The new scrolls rolled down, and the teenagers immediately cheered up and raised their heads.

The next moment, the people watching the scroll were in an uproar again.

"It's Mr. Jiuyuan!"

The teenagers from Soochow shouted joyfully in the audience.

"It turned out to be Old Man Xiangshan." Zhao Guang looked at the names on the scroll and said with a complicated expression.

"Xiangshan Old Man?" Ying Baoyue asked with a frown as he stared at the scroll.

The name of the first deputy chief examiner was written on the first line of the scroll.

Soochow Imperial Prayer Province Cong Erxianguan, Hanshan Bachelor, Wang Jiuyuan.

It seems to have a little impression of the name of the person.

Then it should be the immortal official who had been to the Guiyang Imperial Prayer Province during the Qin Empire to meet during the New Year.

At the new year's great court meeting, the princes and kings would bring their sons and officials above the third rank of the fief to Beijing to worship. Naturally, the princes and court officials went to worship the emperor, but the immortal officials who came to Beijing with the princes would also go to the Afang Palace to pray and save the pilgrimage. man god.

Back then, she stood by the master's side and watched as officials stepped forward and then retreated. Even though her memory was extraordinary, it was impossible for her to remember all of them.

But since he can enter the capital with the princes and kings, he is no ordinary fairy official.

From the second product?

The rank of the immortal official is closely related to the realm of the practitioner, there are ten ranks in total.But when you reach the third rank or above, you don't just look at the realm but also the merits. After all, if you only look at the realm, no one can be promoted to the first rank.

From the second grade, it can be said to be quite high.

If Ying Baoyue remembered correctly, Mr. Mengyang, the chief examiner of the Southern Chu Primary Ceremony, was only a third-rank immortal official.

"You don't know him?" Zhao Guang said in surprise, "Xiangshan Weng was Mr. Mengyang's classmate in Jixia Academy!"

To be honest, she didn't even remember Li Mengyang very much at first...

Ying Baoyue was speechless, but Ji Jiashu, Chen Zichu and others all opened their eyes wide after hearing this, "So this is Mr. Mengyang's classmate?"

Well, it seems to be really famous.

"Mr. Wang Jiuyuan called himself the old man of Xiangshan, and he went to Jixia Academy to study when he was young," Zhao Guangdao, "the old Jijiu of Jixia Academy was the master of him and Mr. Mengyang. His teacher liked him, but later he angered his master and was kicked out of the school, so the place of sacrificial wine fell to Mr. Mengyang."

Of course, this is the version circulated by Soochow, and most of the stories about this past in Nanchu are not so legendary.

After all, if a person from Soochow became the sacrificial wine of Jixia Academy, where would the Southern Chu practitioners face their face.

Ji Jiashu and others have also heard about this incident. The Southern Chu version says that Mr. Mengyang was more outstanding in his studies later on, so he inherited the position of sacrificial wine.

"By the way, how did this Mr. Jiu Yuan offend Master?" Gui Chen asked curiously.

"Give up the fire method and learn the water method instead," Ying Baoyue said coldly from the side.

"Hey?" The teenagers around were shocked, but Zhao Guang's eyes widened again, "How do you know?"

He still found out about this past with great effort. Didn't this person even know Wang Jiuyuan just now?

"I guessed it," Ying Baoyue said, "Didn't you say that he and Mr. Mengyang have the same master? If I remember correctly, Mr. Mengyang is a fire magician."

But this Wang Jiuyuan could gain a foothold in the Soochow Imperial Prayer Province and climb all the way to the second rank, so he should be a water magician.

Fire mages and water mages have the same master, so there is only one possibility left.

This person used to be a fire mage, but for unknown reasons later, he became a water mage.

Ying Baoyue was silent.

In a sense, like her.
