Chapter 85 Inner Gate Challenge

Qiao Yansheng led Pang Dewan and Chen Guogong to the viewing platform, and met with the academy talent before sitting down.Coincidentally, Li Qingniu was also surrounded by the crowd and came to the outside of the square.

Qiao Yansheng walked to the front of the stage and summoned his internal strength, and suddenly a powerful voice sounded.

"quiet!"

The originally bustling square suddenly fell silent. Pang Dewan and Chen Guogong, who were on the main seat, looked at each other and understood.This Qiao Yansheng has really reached the strength of an eighth-rank warrior!
Qiao Yansheng continued to say to the audience:

"The year-end exam of Pingshan Academy, the official school of the Great Zhou Ghost Gate County, is over. Today, the external disciples will challenge the arena. Fortunately, Chen Guogong and the emperor bestowed the title of Ghost Fanghou, and the Lord of the Ghost Gate County City Lord came to watch the battle in person. You are all honored! Now! Please Guifanghou, Lord of Guimen County, please teach me!"

The agenda had been discussed a long time ago. Pang Dewan got up and walked to the front desk. Just as the sun was just rising, it was reflected on the purple gold python robe. The golden light was dazzling and the momentum was soaring. field.

"The sage teaches, and the emperor is virtuous. You are all heroes of my ghost family, dragons and phoenixes among the people. Today, my lord is here, and there is indeed a holy decree!"

As soon as the people heard the oracle, they immediately knelt down and shouted:
"Eternal Son of Heaven!"

The disciples in the square also chanted under the leadership of their masters, only Li Qingniu didn't realize that he wanted to kneel, but fortunately Meng Qingshan grabbed him and knelt down.

"Maverick, why are you in a daze, don't die!"

Only then did Li Qingniu react, and said in a low voice:
"Don't you only kneel when you see the emperor?"

"You have to kneel when you read the oracle. Didn't you see the head of the mountain and they all kneeled?"

Qiao Yansheng was annoyed in his heart, just now when he asked you about the agenda, you said it was according to the academy, but in the end he immediately gave himself a blow.

Pang Dewan didn't care, at the moment he was holding the imperial edict in his hand, everyone had to kneel down, although he knew that he was not the one kneeling, but it felt so good to be worshiped by thousands of people!So the voice became louder and louder.

"Under the order of the Holy Son of Fortune, all countries and nations and counties and counties. The emperor of heaven and the four directions of virtue are preaching benevolence and righteousness, and all people praise them.

Today's civil and military imperial examinations select scholars from different countries, counties, and prefectures, so that those who are virtuous, talented, and supernatural are left behind in the sea. Since I ruled all nations, they should be unified by law. From the 15th year of Tiansheng, each The imperial examinations of all states and states and counties are unified."

Pang Dewan read eloquently on the stage for a long time. Li Qingniu's knee hurts, and he finally heard clearly. The key is only three sentences.

From this year onwards, all counties, states, and counties will only take civil and military subjects, and miscellaneous subjects will be submitted to the Baigong Division for verification by the counties, states, and counties.

Every year, the disciples of the counties, states and counties will be recommended to the gods, and after the unified examination by the imperial court, they will be awarded officials in a unified way.

From now on, the imperial court will allocate special funds to help counties, states, prefectures and counties run schools, and the heads of academies at all levels need to be approved by the imperial court.

Li Qingniu couldn't help slandering, what is related to me is that the scientific examination will be simplified into two subjects in the future, but as a foreign disciple of miscellaneous subjects, he can only go to the Baigong Division to participate in the assessment.

After Pang Dewan finished reading the oracle, everyone dared to get up.Then Liu Qing, the deputy head of the mountain, announced the adjusted challenge rules.

Generally speaking, this year's challenge for the liberal arts category will only hold classic debates, policy discussions, and poetry, and all martial arts categories will be duels, with no restrictions on skills and weapons; each inner disciple must accept at least three challenges. If the challenge is successful, the inner disciple qualification will be lost. If no one challenges, the inner disciple status will remain unchanged.

As for the outer disciples, they must successfully challenge a liberal arts disciple, a martial arts disciple, and a top six in the final exam before they can be promoted to inner disciples.

As soon as this set of challenge rules came out, the audience suddenly became chaotic. Originally, some outer disciples were seriously biased in subjects, because those with strong comprehensive strength had already become the top six. The remaining people might be able to challenge successfully in certain subjects, but In this way, there is little hope of succeeding in the challenge at the same time.

At this time, Qiao Yansheng shouted loudly:
"quiet!"

The voice directly hit everyone's minds, and only then did the commotion in the audience stop.For a while, no one dared to be the first to challenge.

Just when Li Qingniu wanted to challenge on the stage, he saw someone jumping off the stage, it was Mu Hong.

Mu Hong held a broken halberd, a long sword on his waist, a chain mail, a purple gold crown on his head, and cloud boots with animal patterns on his feet. He landed around the center of the square and shouted towards the audience.

"Li Qingniu, yesterday's appointment, how dare you come on stage and fight!"

When he shouted like this, most of the inner and outer disciples heard about Mu Hong's appointment with Li Qingniu yesterday, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.

Most of the noble disciples thought it was necessary for Mu Hong to teach those ignorant things a lesson.The common people's children kept cheering for Li Qingniu, and must express their anger for everyone.Pang Dewan and Chen Guogong on the high platform were also curious.Chen Guogong looked at Qiao Yansheng and said:

"Master Qiao Shan? This kid belongs to Lord Mu Hou's family! Who is Li Qingniu?"

"Duke, I don't know either!"

"Oh? I don't think it's an unknown person."

Qiao Xuan and Guo Rui in the back row looked puzzled, Guo Rui looked at Qiao Xuan and asked:

"Isn't this Li Qingniu the wild boy who came from thousands of miles to study?"

Qiao Xuan didn't know either, and shook his head.

"If it's really him, it's dangerous. Although this Mu Hong is only fifteen, he is already a fourth-rank martial artist, and he has learned how to swim a dragon halberd. How could Li Qingniu be an opponent!"

"Really, this wild boy, last time he got angry and left without hearing anything. He thought he had returned to his home Niuxi! Why did he appear here? He also offended Mu Hong! No, I'll go and see."

Qiao Xuan stopped him and said:

"Xiao Ruirui, don't be impulsive, you are not sure yet, and besides, the city lord and Chen Guogong are here, so don't make mistakes."

Guo Rui said anxiously:

"Xuan'er, that kid has known us for a while, if he sees his life ruined, I can't bear it."

"Don't worry, if it's true that he doesn't know martial arts as he said, even if it's really him, he will definitely not dare to fight. Let's talk later!"

"Hey! This wild boy, why does he like to make trouble so much!"

……

On the stage, Mu Hong yelled again, but he didn't see Li Qingniu, so he said aggressively:
"What's the matter? Doesn't Li Qingniu want to be a hot-shrinking turtle? Didn't you say that no matter the nobles or the common people, as long as they are willing to practice hard, they are all the same!

Why don't you dare to fight now?It can be seen that although martial arts knowledge is high or low, there are still differences in courage and guts among nobles and commoners! "

As soon as he said that, the civilian students in the audience exploded, and some even shouted.

"Who is Li Qingniu, stand up quickly, even if you are beaten to death, you can't let these noble children look down on our courage!"

"Li Qingniu, hurry up!"

But Li Qingniu in the audience couldn't help shaking his head, thinking that he would wait for everyone to challenge and see the situation, but he never thought that he would be pushed to the forefront in the first place.

Meng Qingshan and Fan Wujie helped to clear the crowd, waiting for Li Qingniu to fight.Li Qingniu bent over to tie his shoelaces, adjusted his clothes, fastened his belt, and walked slowly onto the stage with his sword hilt in his hand.

"Stop! Mr. Mu, let's make it clear before the challenge. This is your initiative to challenge. Does winning against you count as a successful challenge?"

"Of course, but you, a pariah, can't succeed today. Don't worry, I'll make you realize what you are."

"Oh! It seems that you can't pretend to be arrogant!"

At this time, a teacher in charge of hosting the challenge came to the stage, it was Gou Chaoen, who looked at Li Qingniu with a sinister smile, and then became serious again.

"Li Qingniu challenged Mu Hong, the challenge is valid, the two of you can only click together!"

Seeing that Gou Chaoen was in charge of hosting, Li Qingniu thought to himself, it seems that these two people are going to take the opportunity to kill themselves today, to show their authority to the commoner disciples, and then he smiled sternly.

"Since it counts, I'll use you as my first stepping stone to enter the inner gate!"

On the northern stand, Guo Rui carefully identified it and said angrily:
"It really is that buffalo! I really don't want my life!"

　I don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth!Standalone status really hurts confidence.
