Cultivation of immortals begins with the appearance of ancestors

Chapter 150 Examination Room
And in Haojing City, thousands of candidates who came from the provincial capital were waiting for the date of the Ministry of Rites Examination.

Inside and outside the imperial city, after discussing with Jiuqing, Emperor Jingwu also confirmed the candidates for the main examiner and three deputy examiners.

The exam questions for this session of the Ministry of Rites have been drawn up at the same time!

The same examiners selected [-] people from the Institute of Culture and Sports.

Each of these fifteen people must be innocent, and they must be young Jinshi.

The task of these fellow examiners is to help seal, transcribe, proofread... and a series of tasks, that is, to serve as assistants to the four examiners.

However, these nineteen people will be strictly monitored by the Dagan court after the imperial examination questions are released, so as not to do anything during this period that will affect the fairness of the imperial court's selection of talents.

At this time, all the attention inside and outside Haojing was also temporarily withdrawn from the festering battlefield in the south, and fell back on this spring test.

Many experienced Juren are hastily preparing.

Early spring is still extremely cold, and staying in a closed examination room for nine days and six nights in such a cold night requires not only perseverance, but also some preparations, otherwise it is easy to fall down in the middle of the game.

Every year, there are such unlucky people who fainted in the examination room halfway and had to miss the three-yearly imperial examination.

The duration of the Ministry of Rites examination is actually similar to that of the rural examination. It is also divided into three sessions, one session on three days, and three sessions of examination items. Four scriptures, five-character eight-rhyme poems, six scriptures, and policy questions are different.

This is physical work.

Regardless of whether it is the provincial examination or the Ministry of Rites examination, you must enter the venue overnight, and you have to stay overnight in a cramped small place, where all eating, drinking, and toileting are done.

But this is no problem for Zhang Jian.

Immortal cultivators are better than others in this regard.

……

The eighth day of the second lunar month has finally arrived quietly amidst the long-awaited calls of many candidates.

The cold night is dark, but the torches are like dragons!
In front of the Guozijian Gongyuan, the dragon gate is slowly opening.

In front of the dragon gate, thousands of Juren crowded outside, many of them were wearing velvet cloaks, holding a small heater in their hands, and there were personal servants beside them carrying test baskets, inside which were pens and ink, or Some dry food, try to be neat and concise.

The simpler the program, the fewer programs will be entered later.

Zhang Jian was no exception. He was wearing a satin blue velvet robe and a hair crown tied with a hosta on his head. Although no official crowning ceremony was held, no one could question this at this time.

"Brother Zhang, how do you feel?"

Next to him, Shi Lun, Zhan Xiong and other people from the southern counties are here. At this time, Shi Lun smiled at Yan Yan.

Several people around him also looked over.

During this period of getting along, everyone knew that although the young Juren in front of him was younger than them, he was full of knowledge and talent.

If it is said who among the people in the field has the most hope of passing the Ritual Examination and going straight to the Palace Examination, this young man in front of him is definitely ranked at the top.

Facing the eyes of everyone, Zhang Jian just smiled.

"Third watch lights and five watch chickens, ten years of hard study and hard work to see the present!"

"That's right, it's today!"

Shi Lun and others are also encouraged.

Many people nearby also smiled when they heard the words.

At this moment, beside the dragon gate, there was the sound of several gongs and drums, and the voice of a government servant came loudly.

"The Dragon Gate is open, please enter the arena in line, everyone. Prepare all your belongings in advance. Please don't carry any private possessions with you. Otherwise, once found out, you will be turned over to the Haojing government office. Please remove your meritorious service from the imperial court and never hire him." !"

At this time, there were also teams of elite city defense soldiers who were constantly dispatched from the surrounding area and began to settle in the Gongyuan.

Zhang Jian also vaguely felt the divine power fluctuations of the gods from his surroundings.

In front of the dragon gate, the prison guards had already taken their positions and began to check the items carried by the people.

In fact, every Juren has experienced such things.

This kind of inspection is extremely strict. Even dry food will be broken apart and checked one by one, and the rice grains will also be checked for writing.

Zhang Jian noticed that in front of the Dragon Gate there were several Taoist priests and warriors from the Temple of the Gods, each holding a few magic weapons, as if they were trying to identify something.

Seeing this, Zhang Jian didn't care too much. He could sense that the thousands of people present were actually not lacking in internal martial arts practitioners, and some of them were immortal cultivators with inspiration flowing in their bodies.

Obviously, the Daqian court does not reject their existence, but is a state of seeking talents and thirsting for talents.

That is a special skill.

If you take the initiative to expose, you will actually be recruited for bonus points. You don't need to go through the imperial examinations, and you can directly hold some special official positions.

……

There was a long queue for a long time. Thousands of Juren took the exam together. It was a spectacular sight, but it was also extremely difficult. Many Juren stood in the cold wind in front of the Dragon Gate for several hours, but there was still a long way to go before the Dragon Gate. The distance is really hard work.

The only thing that can relieve the boredom is that there are more and more hawkers gathering around, as well as the family members of many rich families.

It is not difficult to understand that some hawkers are around. Whenever this is the time, the peddlers in Haojing can find business opportunities and will sell pens, inks, papers and inkstones around, followed by all kinds of dry food and exquisite snacks.

There is also a temporary queuing service, which is for those who have been queuing for too long and can't stand the need for a plus size. You can't really pee your pants just to queue.

The weather is so cold, and there are so many people watching, that is a gentleman.

But even if there is a substitute for queuing, the first thing many people do after entering the Gongyuan is to sprint [-] meters to win the right to use the few Gong barrels.

When Zhang Jian entered, the sky was already slightly bright.

He first went to the red list of the Gongyuan to find his own examination institute and examination number. After confirming that there was no problem, he went to the main hall of the Imperial College to line up.

According to the rules, before the examination in Chunwei, there will be many sages enshrined in Guozijian brought by the examiner.

On top of the gods and sages in the Guozijian, Zhang Jian clearly felt the divine power fluctuations of the thick incense, and besides that, there was an incomparably pure righteousness.

Under the leadership of four officials in purple robes, thousands of people also gathered in a huge area at this time, and began to complete the last step before the Chunwei exam.

Then the Dragon Gate was officially closed.

The nine-day and six-night exam also officially began at this time.

……

Zhang Lu had been standing outside the dragon gate, seeing Zhang Jian enter, he was relieved that the dragon gate was closed.

Zhang Lu's eyes were still a little smug.

He has quite confidence in Zhang Jian, he has seen with his own eyes how his husband came along the way.

The next step is to quietly wait for the news.

He was going to take the opportunity to go back and write a letter to report the situation to the chief patriarch, Zhang Yi, to report his safety.

Just when he was about to go back, he saw a beautiful woman walking towards him. This woman had a dignified demeanor. It looked like she came from a wealthy family, and she had delicate hairpins on her head. She was smiling. He stepped forward and asked.

"Little brother, your husband's surname is Zhang, and he is that famous juvenile juren in Fengyang County?"
