Fighter of the Destiny

"What's in Zhou Garden? Treasures?"

"There should be weapons or skill secrets of the peerless strongman who was defeated by Zhou Dufu back then. Of course, the most important thing is that his own inheritance may also be left in Zhou Garden."

"Everything you find after entering Zhou Garden belongs to you? You don't need to hand it over to the court?"

"Reward according to merit is the basic principle. Of course, although Zhou Garden is good, it is very dangerous to go deep into it, not to mention there will be so many opponents of the same level. Therefore, the more important significance of Zhou Garden is that it is The most suitable place of trial for young practitioners."

"Wouldn't those powerful seniors enter Zhou Garden to grab the treasure?"

"Those individual disciples or the direct disciples of those old monsters will risk their lives to enter the garden, but they must also be wary of the attitudes of the five saints, so as not to go too far."

Many years ago, in the battle of Luoyang Chuanshi, Zhou Dufu defeated Emperor Taizong of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Emperor Taizong must have lost something to him. Earlier, outside Xue Lao City, he defeated the Demon Lord who was once known as the strongest. The extremely powerful Tianluo in the Demon Lord's hand was seriously damaged, and his position on the Hundred Weapons Ranking continued to fall. In the end, it could only be used to cover up an assassination in the National Education Academy.

From this point, we can see how big, far-reaching and specific Zhou Dufu's influence was on this continent. He has defeated many peerless powerful men in his life. If the weapons or skills of those peerless powerful men are In Zhou Garden, that is the greatest treasure.

What's more, as Jin Yulu said, Zhou Dufu has not shown a trace for hundreds of years, or is dead, or shattered into the void. In either case, his inheritance is likely to remain in Zhou Garden.

The inheritance of the most powerful man in the continent... Just thinking about it makes people feel shaken and unable to calm down.

After listening to Jin Yulu's narration, Chen Changsheng and the others finally had a real understanding of this matter. The concierge became even quieter, and the oil droplets accumulated on the tips of the fangs became larger and larger.

Who wouldn’t want to enter such a Zhou Garden?

Over the past many years, the Zhou Garden has opened on time, shaking the continent, but its specific location cannot always be discovered. This year, the location of the Zhou Garden has finally been confirmed again, which means that the Great Zhou Dynasty will definitely Many people were sent into Zhou Garden to explore, trying to find the real treasures.

All Qiu Shanjun did was to find the gate of Zhou Garden and get the key to Zhou Garden. The heavy fog outside Zhou Garden gradually dissipated, and the world inside was still mysterious.

But this small world, which opens once every ten years, has very strict and difficult-to-understand standards for practitioners who want to enter this world - only the Nether Realm can survive in it.

Tang Sanshiliu and Xuanyuan Po looked at Chen Changsheng subconsciously. In the final battle of the Great Imperial Examination, Chen Changsheng inexplicably succeeded in accessing the secluded world, so he was naturally qualified to enter the Zhou Garden.

Chen Changsheng shook his head. He was very sure that the number of young practitioners who could enter Zhou Garden in the future would definitely be more than now, because tomorrow would be the period of enlightenment in the Tomb of Heavenly Book.

"Prepare the medicine and crystal stones tomorrow, and try to achieve enlightenment and breakthrough in the Tomb of Heavenly Books." He looked at Tang Sanliu and Xuanyuan Po and said, "We will enter Zhou Garden together then."

Jin Yulu said: "His Royal Highness will also enter the Mausoleum of Heaven's Book tomorrow."

Chen Changsheng said: "Then the four of us will go together."

…

…

In fact, Chen Changsheng didn't really care about Zhou Yuan's affairs, because it was too far away... In fact, in terms of time, it wasn't too far away, but his thoughts were all in front of him, tonight.

Tonight he will enter the palace to do what he must do and do well. Only in this way will other things in the world such as treasures and legends be meaningful to him.

In the evening, the twilight was getting thicker, and a carriage slowly stopped in front of the palace. Tang Sanliu jumped down first, then Xuanyuan Po made the ground shake slightly, and then Chen Changsheng stepped out of the car.

There were people everywhere in front of the palace. Nearby are young disciples from various colleges and sects, and in the distance are people watching the excitement. Kyoto people's pursuit of excitement has always been unaffected by the weather.

Looking at the three people from the National Education Academy, especially Chen Changsheng, the public's discussion suddenly became louder, and the expressions of the young candidates also changed somewhat.

Tonight, a total of forty-two students from the third list of the Great Imperial Examination will attend the grand banquet held by the Holy Queen in the Mingtang. They will celebrate with singing, dancing and drinking. Then they will stay overnight in the palace and go directly to the Mausoleum of the Book of Heaven the next night.

Only Chen Changsheng, who topped the list, could not attend this grand feast, but had to meditate alone in Lingyan Pavilion all night, because this was the rule.

The public's discussion and the changes in the examinees' expressions come from this. Lingyan Pavilion is a sacred pavilion, and it is also a strictly forbidden place. His Majesty will only enter the pavilion when there is a big ceremony or important event in the country. Other than that, only the toppers in the annual imperial examination can meditate inside. One night, on the surface, this is naturally a rare honor, but in fact, no one thinks this is a good thing.

There must be no bedding in Lingyan Pavilion. You will have to sit cross-legged for a night of meditation. Let alone sleep, it is extremely difficult to take a nap. After such a night of tossing, you will definitely be very tired and sleepy in the morning. Entering the Mausoleum of the Book of Heaven to observe the stele and realize enlightenment. It will definitely be greatly affected.

No one understands why Emperor Taizong set this rule back then. It can only be attributed to the fact that the hero wanted to use this method to strengthen the loyalty of the top spot in each imperial examination to the country.

But as the years go by, this rule has become just a rule, and has been forgotten by many people until it turns a blind eye. Only for Chen Changsheng, this rule is not as simple as a rule, but the most important thing is that he leaves. The only reason why I came to Xining, came to Kyoto, entered the National Education Academy, participated in the imperial examination, experienced so many hardships, and took so many risks...

Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, he walked into the dark and cold palace gate.

Under the guidance of a eunuch leader, he walked towards the deepest part of the deep palace, passing by the Hanguang Hall and the Abandoned Garden, which were places he had been before. Then he saw the tall palace wall to the west. The wall and the ivy climbing on the wall tell me that there is the Chinese Academy of Education and the Baicao Garden.

The deeper you go into the palace, the quieter it becomes, and it can even be said to be deserted. The palace maids and eunuchs that you could occasionally see before can no longer be seen. The sound of rituals and music in the distant hall also becomes fainter and fainter, as if it has changed. It became the sound of another world, until it finally disappeared completely and became completely silent.

The leader of the eunuchs left quietly at some point.

Only Chen Changsheng and a building were left.

That tall building stood alone in front of me, and it was impossible to admit my mistake. This was Lingyan Pavilion.

He doesn't need guidance, and he won't get lost, because there is only one way to Lingyan Pavilion.

Lingyan Pavilion is very high, and the road is straight and consists of countless stone steps.

Night has enveloped Kyoto, and the stars have returned to the world.

The starlight fell on the stone steps, coating them with a faint layer of light. Looking from the bottom up, the stone steps seemed to have no end, as if they were leading to the highest point in the night sky.

Chen Changsheng did not hesitate and walked along the stone steps toward Lingyan Pavilion in the night sky. His steps were steady but not slow, and his hands slightly clenched at his sides represented his tension and expectation.

A gust of night wind came, and his clothes floated up, making a hunting sound.
