Dao Fruit

Xingjing's will merged with Qiu Yan's at this moment, traveling inside and outside his body.

The fusion of will was completed in Anyang Courtyard. After that, Qiu Yan fell into a strange state. He seemed to be able to walk and move as before, but his perception changed. The surroundings Everything has undergone strange changes.

Everywhere in the city has its own ears and eyes, and every move of the residents in the city can be sensed and gathered in an instant.

This is not easy for ordinary people to bear. Xingjing is huge and its population is not much higher than that of the eastern capital. One person’s experience is nothing, but tens of thousands, one hundred thousand, or hundreds of thousands of people can experience it at the same time. Everything they do inside, when gathered together, becomes a huge torrent of information.

After receiving such a huge amount of information, ordinary people's consciousness cannot bear it. Even if they don't collapse on the spot, the contents of the many messages will infect the soul, affect the temperament, and make people crazy and manic.

However, Qiu Yan did not have such a problem. He was a monk who had condensed his spiritual soul, and he had experience in dealing with the thoughts of the people with his spiritual body. After the information came in, he sorted it out in a short period of time, and then sorted it out. Categorize.

"If you are an ordinary Confucian, even if you can understand the will of Xingjing, you will not be able to adapt to it all at once. You have to sort it out slowly and gain insights bit by bit. You will not be able to receive much information at the beginning. Only with the passage of time can you be able to adapt to it. Continuously expand perception and understanding.”

While sorting out, Qiu Yan came up with some ideas.

The biggest benefit of integrating with Xingjing's will is to be able to constantly understand the humanity in the city, or to explore the historical origin of the city, but for ordinary monks, understanding the lives and history of the people. It's meaningless. Even if they can use their souls and senses to contact the city's will, they won't do it.

Those who are really likely to do this are mostly Confucian scholars and scholars who study and pursue humanity, but such people. If you have not practiced, your body will be weak. Even if your knowledge is advanced, your physical body will not be strong because of it. The information it can withstand is limited, so you must proceed step by step. This process varies from person to person. It is equivalent to expanding the brain capacity and often takes a lot of time.

The life span of a Confucian scholar is short, and it is very likely that he will waste his time.

"This is because Xingjing has a large population and the information is too huge. If the will of the city also exists in ordinary small counties or villages, then scholars can understand and feel step by step, step by step, without wasting life..."

After thinking about it, Qiu Yan's mind fell on what the ancestor of the Chen family once said.

"The ancestor of the Chen family mentioned the continent where humanity is most prosperous. I don't know where it is. Does every city have its own thoughts?"

The thought fell. Qiu Yan was shocked as he sorted out Xingjing's thoughts.

"Although this idea is integrated, there are still places that cannot be explored. I can only feel ordinary people and merchants. The residences of many officials in the inner city are blurred, and several military camps outside the city cannot be seen clearly. As for the inside of the imperial city, even more It is difficult to detect, but it is no wonder. The idea of ​​Xingjing is equivalent to the simple dragon spirit with Xingjing as the foundation, the people are the flesh, the officials are the sinews, and the royal family is the root, so it is naturally difficult to explore. "

After this thought fell, Qiu Yan slowly eliminated the distracting thoughts and felt the city's will with all his heart. He used this as a stepping stone to raise his consciousness step by step and walk towards the night sky.

High in the sky, a huge dragon body is looming...

………………

"Huh?" At the same time, Pang Qianru woke up from the bed and recalled her past. Then she remembered that today's dinner party had ended and she had returned home.

"However, I always feel that I have forgotten something..."

She frowned and tried to remember, but with little success.

At the end, Pang Qianru sighed helplessly, feeling her eyelids heavy, so she lay down again, closed her eyes, and fell asleep not long after.

At this moment, a shadow hidden in her heart slowly expanded. In the shadow, there was a plain, and at the foot of the plain, a group of soldiers wearing armor gathered!

The next moment, Pang Qianru, dressed in military uniform, appeared out of thin air. She was surprised at first, but it didn't take long for her to adapt. She looked at her soldiers and smiled happily.

"This is such a sweet dream."

Not far away, there was also an army of more than a thousand people, led by a panicked scholar in Confucian uniform, but the scholar's face was blurred and his calendar could not be seen.

Opposite, Pang Qianru drew her sword out of its sheath and pointed forward!

"kill!"

Leading an army in conquest was Pang Qianru's dream, but it was also a nightmare for some people.

At this moment, everyone who "left" from the Anyang Courtyard fell into sleep, some with surprised faces, some tossing and turning...

For the past few days, Pang Qianru has been having the same dream. From the confusion at the beginning to the excitement now, she has gradually become unable to control herself. After finding that she cannot fall asleep during the day, she goes to bed early every day as soon as it gets dark, which is very abnormal. But no one dared to ask.

On this day, when Pang Qianru returned to the plain, her army had doubled in size compared to a few days ago!

Looking at the famous soldier, Pang Qianru smiled with satisfaction.

"I was born in a general family, and this dream is simply tailor-made for me!"

"I have been blessed with great fortune since I was a child, but I never expected that I would be able to achieve success even in my dreams!"

"My reputation is no longer limited to the south of the Yangtze River. I have a foundation in Xingjing. Once I am released, I will become an official in the court. Sooner or later, I will be able to lead troops. Could this dream be a sign of this?"

…

At this moment, all the people trapped here sighed, and then led their soldiers to go out!

On the other side, Qiu Yan, wearing a battle armor, was standing on the top of the city, looking at the soldiers and horses surrounding the city below, and shook his head secretly.

"People who have entered the world in the book don't remember the cause and effect, just think this place is a dream, but their appearance is now indistinguishable. These days, several armies have fought each other, and finally someone has set his sights on this city."

This city was formed by Qiu Yan and Xingjing's will after they merged, and they visualized the city with the city's ideas. It was based on Xingjing. In fact, it is not as big as Xingjing, at most only one-seventh of the size, but it is still very conspicuous on this plain.

Boom!

Under the city, many soldiers and horses took action.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

On the city wall, Qiu Yan's soldiers drew their bows and arrows, and arrows rained down.

A fierce battle broke out.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Qiu Yan narrowed his eyes: "I haven't fully mastered the characteristics of archers. The bows and arrows I visualized also have many disadvantages. I have to collect some military books tomorrow, but the method of making this weapon is not so easy to find."

The murderous intent spread under the city, and the army attacking the city stretched outside the city, like a giant python waiting for transformation!

"This battlefield battle is the cornerstone of the establishment of the dynasty. After a few days of fighting, I have a better understanding of dragon energy. In a short time, I should be able to reach the third step. The Taoist priest Feibao has broken through three palaces. I don't know how long he can delay. It's just that he seems to be deliberately suppressing his strength, and he seems to have a plan..."

Qiu Yan didn't know Feibao's plan, but this delay was unexpectedly long.

This wait lasted for nearly 20 days. It was already February 20th, and the Taoist priest Feibao had only broken through the tenth palace, but it was not long before he reached the top of Zaoshan.

However, before that, Qiu Yan also welcomed an important day——

"Brother Qiu, if I fail this time, will I lose my spirit and fail in the future?"

In the inn, Zhou Guan was restless.

At this time, the sky was just getting light, but all the candidates got up early, and the waiter of the inn prepared breakfast, which showed that he had prepared it in advance.

Today is the day for the announcement of the results of the imperial examination.

The inn where Zhou Guan is now staying is no longer the Cangshu Inn, but a small inn in a village outside Xingjing City. It is simply furnished and a distance away from the city gate, but it is cheap.

The Cangshu Inn is considered cheap in Xingjing City, but it still costs a lot. Living in it is convenient for the imperial examination, so as to avoid walking a long way and affecting the mood and state. But after the imperial examination, there is no need to consider these, so everyone checked out and went to stay outside the city.

Qiu Yan followed them, but Hu Qi, Dai Guo, and the two old Taoists did not follow.

At present, there are many people like Zhou Guan who are restless. There are many in the lobby of this inn, some of whom are walking in and out with pale faces.

This is still a remote inn. If it were in the city, many candidates would have servants and maids, and the situation would be even more chaotic.

"Okay, Brother Zhou, don't worry. With your talent, I think you still have a chance to be on the list. I advise you to think about how to avoid losing your composure when you look at the list later, so as not to be entangled by some rich businessman." Cao Hanqi joked on the side, but his face was also a little stiff, and it was obvious that he was using words to relieve his tension.

"What does the announcement of the list have to do with the rich businessman?" Luo Jiayun took a deep breath and then asked.

But Haiming replied: "I know this. I heard that the rich merchants in Beijing like to find a son-in-law from the list. Whenever someone passes the imperial examination, several families will immediately compete for him. The dowry is more than one family..."

"Is there such a thing?" Zhou Guan seemed to be in high spirits. He came forward and touched Qiu Yan, "Brother Qiu, you are the champion of the provincial examination and the imperial examination is almost certain. You may choose a girl when the time comes..."

Similar conversations are now all over the city.

The whole Xingjing is in a tense atmosphere.

But at this panic moment, there are undercurrents everywhere.

………………

Inner city, Tian Mansion.

Tian Youqing is now a favorite of the emperor. He has been praised for his several proposals. He seems to have the aura of the second-in-command of the New Party. There are many cars and people in front of his door every day.

However, no one will visit at this time.

In the backyard of the mansion, Tian Youqing got up early, but instead of waiting for the results to be announced, he asked the two people in the room, "Are you ready for everything?"
