Preaching begins with Tai Chi

Chapter 128
The entire Langya Villa has been turned into a large library, with no less than [-] volumes of Taoist scriptures.

Fortunately, Wang Dao's parents are high-ranking and powerful, and they have plenty of money.

The butler, who had helped Li Mi get a good name, hurried forward to greet him, and several of the most well-behaved maids stepped forward to rub their shoulders and pat their backs, for fear that their young master would be exhausted.

In the past eighty days, Li Mi's practice has not fallen behind. In Langya Mountain Villa, whether it is inspiration, medicine or merit, everything is the best provided by cheap parents. Li Mi's Taoism has advanced by leaps and bounds. And "Di Sha Lu" each opened another aperture, reaching the state of eight apertures.

But then there is a hidden danger. Everyone can only open nine apertures at the same time in the state of enlightenment. The nine apertures corresponding to "Longevity Secret" and "Dishalu" are the main apertures in the three realms and cannot be compatible.

There is no solution to this problem, and many Nascent Souls in the Three Realms can't solve the plight of fellow practitioners in "The Secret of Longevity" and "Di Shalu".

Li Mi had the "Secret of Longevity" as a reference, so he had an idea, but the first thing he needed to grasp was authority, and he had to get the number one scholar.

"Young master, please go down the mountain! This old slave has already booked an upper court in Yuchen Courtyard, and is ready!" The housekeeper said with a smile: "Young master studies so hard, you should take a rest before the exam to refresh yourself."

Li Mi nodded, and went straight to Qishan City, the imperial capital.

The entire Qishan City covers an extremely large area, tens of thousands of square kilometers, and the area within the city walls exceeds that of any other big city in Blue Star.

The population of Qishan City is 500 million. It is a miracle that a city with almost no high-rise buildings can accommodate such a large population.

The city wall of Qishan City is not high, only ten feet, and has almost no protective effect.

But this is completely understandable. In the imperial capital, there are the most officials, and it is also the place with the most high-ranking monks. Gold pills are everywhere, and foundation building is not as good as a dog. It is not an exaggeration at all.

The force of a Qishan city is enough to suppress the entire human world, unless the gods of the upper world and the ghosts of the lower world invade, otherwise it is the safest place.

The Ministry of Rites is also in charge of the imperial examinations in Qishan City. This year, the chief examiner is Qian Xingqian, the minister of the Ministry of Rites.

The exam site is located in the Imperial College, which occupies an extremely large area, comparable to the university city of the previous life, enough to accommodate tens of thousands of Taoists to take the exam at the same time.

Most of the Taoists who can participate in the test are already in the foundation building state, and the few who are in the enlightened state are all child prodigies.

These Taoists have passed the exam for an average of 87 years, and the oldest one has passed the exam for 260 years, a total of [-] years, from the youthful young man to half of the exam, it is terrifying.

The main reason is that the admission rate is too low. Of the 30 Taoists who participated in the general examination, there were only three first-class candidates, 60 second-tier candidates, and 93 third-tier candidates, a total of [-] places for Taoist priests.

It is not easy to live in the imperial capital, and the prices in the imperial capital are extremely high, and during the triennial imperial examination, it is even higher than the sky.

Yuchen Courtyard is just opposite the Guozijian, and it is extremely noble. Most of the champions in the past have lived here, so the price has risen. An ordinary single room costs ten spirit stones a night.

Yes, during the three sessions, there were so many inspirations, and the rich inspirations began to settle and crystallize over time, forming Lingshi.

The purchasing power of a spirit stone is basically equivalent to 100 million in the previous life.

What the butler hired for Li Mi was Tao Ranju in Yuchen Courtyard, which covers an area of ​​three acres, complete with pavilions, towers and pavilions, clean and elegant, and the price is even worse.

But the dignified Young Master Xiaoyao is naturally not short of money.

In just a few days, Li Mi met many Taoist priests who came to Beijing to take the exam in Taoran Juzhong, many of them were peers on the list of talents.

Such as Wang Ruoxu and Xiang Yunlei, there are many of them.

However, limited by their age, everyone's comprehension and understanding of Taoist scriptures and texts is naturally far inferior to that of seniors who have taken dozens of exams. Basically, they focus on participation and do not seek to pass the exam.

Many fellow travelers made an appointment to visit Qishan City and see the prosperity of the imperial capital, but Li Mi refused, as time was tight and he couldn't miss it.

What everyone discussed the most was the preference of the chief examiner Qian Xing. Qian Xingzhong's essays when he was exploring flowers were sold at a high price.

At that time, Qian Xing was regarded as a cynical youth, with the momentum to clarify Yuyu, his passionate words, and the dung of thousands of households back then.

However, according to the information collected by the housekeeper, Qian Shilang has become calm and calm now, and he likes articles that are balanced and stable.

Li Mi naturally trusted the housekeeper very much, and he was also very confident in the imperial examination.

In terms of comprehension of Taoism alone, he is as confident as any candidate, even the chief examiner Qian Shilang.

This is also easy to understand. Dao Jing Shi Wen, like the previous life, is a stepping stone to the imperial examination. After being admitted to a Taoist priest, what is needed for promotion is Taoism, strategy and connections, and Dao Jing Shi Wen is no longer needed.

However, after the general examination, there will be a palace examination, and the emperor will personally preside over it and select the champion. This is the third-ranked Nascent Soul boss in the Three Realms.

On the [-]th day of the first lunar month, the test will begin.

Li Mi carried the Four Treasures of the Study, and under the earnest gaze of the housekeeper, followed the flow of people into the Imperial College.

The exam also lasted for three days. A magic circle was set up in the exam room, and any cheating methods were strictly prohibited.

If there were people who cheated in the local imperial examinations, then in the imperial capital's general examinations, Jindan Daoist was sitting in charge, and Nascent Soul bosses were patrolling, so the possibility of cheating was too low.

Li Mi looked directly at the first big question, "The god of the valley is immortal and the world has a beginning."

Good guy, it's still a question of interception.

Tens of thousands of Daoist scriptures appeared in Li Mi's mind in an instant, and Li Mi finally chose to solve the problem, which was "Tai Chi, the beginning of the Dao."

Discuss the mystery of the way of Tai Chi after the chaos and the infinite, before the yin and yang and all things.

Tai Chi is originally the Tao that Li Mi comprehends the most. At this moment, he really writes like a god, and he is eloquent in three thousand words, and the Tao is full of Tai Chi's subtlety.

The next two big questions were not difficult for Li Mi. It took Li Mi half a day to hand in the paper for the three-day exam.

It is almost No. 1 among the [-] Taoists in the Imperial College.

The other Taoists were thinking hard and racking their brains. Many of them didn't even think about the first question. Li Mi had already handed in the test paper. Naturally, the test paper was sent to the examiner Qian Xing immediately.

"Wonderful! Who is this kid who has such a deep understanding of the way of Tai Chi?"

Other examiners also checked the papers one after another, and they were full of praise.

"Langya Mountain Villa's kingly way, No.9 on the list of talents?"

"I remember that I was only 21 years old, how could I have such a profound understanding of Dao at such a young age?"

All Jindan masters directly searched the texts of the comprehension test questions, and found that they did not match Li Mi's test papers at all, and belonged to a new understanding of the only one.

"What a stranger, born to be close to the Tao!"

All the examiners said with emotion.

Although it was only the first day of the examination, Wang Dao's examination paper basically determined the position of Huiyuan by default.
