The light shot straight up into the sky, naturally attracting the attention of the people in the city, and they were surprised.

This feeling gathered and merged into the ripples of the void, making the power a little stronger, interacting with each other, and sinking into the hearts of the viewers, leaving a deep impression.

But ordinary people are most surprised by the strange phenomenon, and most of them find it difficult to understand the meaning behind it.

However, this is enough. For them, such a novelty itself is enough to be a lifelong topic of conversation. This is the moment for them to witness history.

In the streets and alleys, because of the candidates, many families have already gotten up, and the street vendors are looking up at the sky with surprise.

As the light climbed in the sky, it didn't take long for people outside the city to see it.

Now is the time when the red sun rises in the east, and the light is like a thin, twisted rope, going up all the way and standing on the edge of the red sun.

Outside Xingjing City, the farmland is already full of farmers.

In order to see the list, scholars can come here one day in advance and wait all night, but it is only occasionally, not every day. But for farmers, getting up early and going to bed late is the norm.

In this way, they can all see this light.

It is inevitable to bring a series of discussions, and soon some people think it is a manifestation of the gods, and there is another chaos.

Among them, an old farmer's face changed, and he quickly retreated to the shadow of the tree. The ripples in the void came, and a strange scene suddenly appeared behind the old farmer-

There are trees growing, and many people's wishes gather on the branches and leaves!

The ripples passed by without stopping. It still dissipated in all directions, and part of it came to a manor.

Someone was boxing in the garden. It was Qiao Qing and Di Ai who participated in this joint examination. At this time, Er Er also saw the light in the city and stopped, turned his head and looked into the distance, puzzled.

Today, the results were announced. The two did not go to the city to wait for the results like ordinary candidates, but this was just on the surface. From the fact that they walked and practiced boxing in the garden, it can be seen that the two of them still took it to heart.

In fact, the two were waiting for the news from the servants in the city. Now they suddenly saw the light and determined the approximate location. Knowing that it came from the vicinity of the Imperial Examination Hall, they were of course concerned.

At this time, the ripples in the void spread and turned into a breeze, passing over the two people, blowing their hair, and then passed into the attic deep in the manor, penetrating every hole.

Click! Click! Click!

The basement of this seemingly simple attic was full of steel, levers and gears, turning and making sounds, which could not stop the ripples from spreading. The next moment, in the deepest secret room, an elegant man in black clothes looked up.

In front of him was a fine iron platform with several iron hammers on it. It was rising and falling by itself, and the hammer face hit the platform, sparks flew, and a strange face could be vaguely seen.

The ripples passed from above, passed through the soil, and returned to the ground.

One of them moved forward and passed through Taixu Academy. Mr. Taixu, who was sitting in the house, was drinking tea, but his movements suddenly stopped. The air behind him rolled up and evolved into a void. Then the ripples passed through the void and continued to move forward, but were caught by someone in a village farther away.

This person turned out to be an old man dressed as a doctor. He stared at the ripples in his hand with his cloudy eyes wide open. He muttered to himself: "People's hearts, literary thoughts, military fronts, and official traces can be used as medicine..."

After the words fell, the skinny old hand slightly pinched, and a crisp "pop" sound was heard. A pill fell down and was caught by the medicine bag. Then the old man looked at the distant horizon and could vaguely see the outline of Xingjing.

At the same time, many ripples spread around Xingjing City. Some passed by the barracks outside the city, causing the red-robed general sitting in it to stare with his eyes, and the murderous aura swayed, forming an illusory scene of golden swords and iron horses behind him.

Another ripple swept across the temple by the forest, and golden light flashed behind the heads of the three monks in the hall.

On the other side, in the side room of the temple, an old man with a tall hat and a wide belt put down the book in his hand and looked out the window. Many things around him were integrated at this moment, as if they were alive and telling all kinds of truths.

………………

In the center of the ripples, Xingjing was undercurrent.

That light may be just a wonder in the eyes of most people, but in the eyes of some people, it is an accident, representing unpredictable changes!

"That is..."

At the Tian Mansion, Tian Youqing came to the courtyard under the prompting of the servant, looking at the light rising into the sky, and a sense of foreboding rose in his heart.

But before he could ask, the answer came -

Da Da Da!

There were hurried footsteps, and two men dressed as guards rushed over eagerly, regardless of etiquette, and came to Tian Youqing, clasping their fists and saying: "Sir, I just received news that Qiu Yan was personally selected as the first place by the emperor!"

"What? Qiu Yan was personally selected as the first place by the emperor?"

Hearing this news, Tian Youqing was shocked at first, realizing that the plan would be hindered, but then a flash of inspiration came to him and he asked: "When did this happen? Did the emperor skip the examiner and directly promote Qiu Yan?" He suddenly realized that there seemed to be more room for development.

Unexpectedly, the guard replied: "I heard that it was the prime minister who first decided Qiu Yan as the first place, and the examiners were not satisfied with this and had some complaints. It happened that at this time, Eunuch Wei brought the emperor's oral order to stabilize Qiu Yan's ranking." His words were not many words, but the information revealed inside was quite a lot, as if it was seen with the eyes, which showed that the information channel was very complete.

"Oh? So, the prince must have chosen Qiu Yan as the first place because of the pressure from the old party. After all, Qiu Yan is Ma Yang's disciple. But I heard that someone had a literary test paper in this examination..."

After hearing this, Tian Youqing was suddenly startled. He raised his head suddenly and looked at the light in the sky. He subconsciously uttered a few words: "Wen Ran's test paper, the first place, Qiu Yan... vision!"

Suddenly, drops of sweat oozed from his forehead. He could no longer maintain his elegant demeanor. He took two steps forward and asked anxiously: "Is the person who took Wen Ran's test paper the first place? Could it be that Qiu Yan took Wen Ran's test paper?"

The guard didn't know about this, nor did he understand why his master suddenly lost his composure.

Seeing that he couldn't get any results, Tian Youqing became more uneasy. He could only comfort himself: "No, there is no such coincidence in the world? Qiu Yan..."

However. Just as he finished his thoughts, he heard hurried footsteps outside the door. Tian Youqing looked in the direction of the sound and saw a middle-aged scholar with an anxious face.

This man was thin, had a small mustache, and looked shrewd, but now he was walking hurriedly and his face was covered with sweat.

This person is called Tian Qi. He is Tian Youqing's manager and also serves as his staff.

"Tian Qi, what's wrong? What news did you receive?" Seeing his staff like this, Tian Youqing's heart "clicked", realized something, and asked anxiously.

"Master, things have changed. You must stop spreading rumors immediately, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous! That Qiu Yan... He has now won the first prize, which is not the most fatal. The fatal thing is that he is the one who dyed the test paper, and got the support of the emperor's oral order, which caused a strange phenomenon!" Tian Qi came. A series of words came out of his mouth, and he almost couldn't breathe!

"What did you say?" Tian Youqing's body shook, and he looked up at the light in the sky again, "Is it really a strange phenomenon? That Qiu Yan dyed the test paper, causing a strange phenomenon? But. Why did it happen now? If there was a strange phenomenon, he wouldn't have exploded long ago?" There was a trace of grief and anger on his face.

Tian Qi swallowed hard. His face flushed, he said to himself: "Think about these later. The most urgent thing is to stop the rumors and plans. Qiu Yan is now using the strange phenomenon to accumulate momentum. This is the recognition given by heaven. If we slander him for cheating, won't we be asking for trouble? Can we still beat heaven?"

"Yes! Yes!" Tian Youqing was confused when he heard the news. Now that he heard the hint, he knew how powerful it was. He hurriedly said, "Go and inform Lai San and Yu Fang to stop them!"

The dyeing of the test paper and the emergence of strange phenomena cannot be covered up by playing conspiracies and tricks. In this world, supernatural powers are obvious and ghosts and gods exist. Even important officials like Tian Youqing are afraid and dare not act rashly.

Besides, Qiu Yan dyed the test paper, which caused the celestial phenomena to change, which is equivalent to the response of heaven. How can a cheater do it? In this case, framing and false accusations are simply courting death. Once it is discovered later, in order to appease the heaven and earth, it will also cause a lot of trouble.

Not long after the conversation, the people in the Tian Mansion took action. The martial arts masters who were recruited by the transfer were moving quickly to pass on the news and orders.

………………

The streets around the Imperial College suddenly became boiling.

The strange phenomenon in the sky had already made many candidates more agitated. In their view, today was the day of the announcement of the results, and the strange phenomenon just showed that the examination was extraordinary, and they were all eager to try.

"Here it comes! Here it comes! The list is here!"

Suddenly, the crowd became chaotic, and someone shouted loudly, which attracted everyone's attention. They could no longer calm down.

"Get out of the way!"

Several officials came in the escort of soldiers, and the official held a few yellow papers in his hand!

List!

Suddenly, the scene was silent, and you could hear a pin drop! It seemed that everyone held their breath at this moment, and even stopped paying attention to the strange phenomenon in the sky, and all their eyes were focused on a few lists!

Emotions, thoughts, and people's wishes rose up at this moment, thick and rich! On a few pieces of paper.

When the yellow paper was pasted on the wall, the silence was broken, and the crowd was noisy. Countless people rushed forward, some old and young!

Boom!

In the crowd, many people were shaken by the sound of the explosion, and their eardrums trembled, and they felt dizzy, but they still endured it, just squeezed forward with one mind, and focused on watching.

Soon, there were cries and sighs. Thousands of people took the exam, but only more than 300 people passed the exam. There were many people who failed to pass the exam. When they saw that their names were not on the list, they cried on the spot.

The sadness and sorrow spread among the crowd, and the people's wishes, emotions and thoughts gradually turned over.

At this time, some people in the crowd looked at each other, showing a tacit look, and then separated and roared--

"I don't accept it! We don't accept it! Some people cheated, but they were on the list, and we worked hard to study, but we failed!"
