Fighter of the Destiny

The imperial examination is coming as scheduled.

Still in the palace.

There was still a sea of ​​people outside the palace.

The major gambling houses were already prepared, and the storyteller gargled his mouth with the tip of his best hair.

But after all, there are still some differences. For example, the expressions and discernment of the people watching the excitement are no longer as enthusiastic and excited as last year. Many people are yawning non-stop, and tourists coming from other places are obviously Much less than last year.

The reason for this is because last year's imperial examination was the New Year's Eve, and many young geniuses at the top of the Qingyun Ranking came to attend. Compared with last year, this year's imperial examination was really lackluster, with not many famous ones. Xu Yourong, who was once expected by many people, completely lost hope as she took over as the saint.

In fact, neither Qiu Shanjun nor Xu Yourong could take part in the Imperial Examination. They didn't need the imperial examination to confirm themselves, and the few people who were now qualified to compete with them on an equal footing had already arrived last year, such as Chen Changsheng.

Of course, Chen Changsheng still came to leave the palace, attracting enthusiastic cheers from the people, and of course there was also discussion that has not diminished in recent days.

Could Dean Xiao Chen really be the queen of the royal family? Is he really Prince Zhaoming? Okay, this statement is too ridiculous, so is he really trying to renew the engagement? Is it true that he waited all night outside the Holy Maiden Temple? Wasn't it snowing heavily that night?

…

…

Tang Sanliu and Su Moyu brought three freshmen from the National Education Academy who had struggled to pass the preparatory exam into the palace examination room.

Chen Changsheng, under the guidance of a cardinal, walked to the farthest end of the palace. It was not that he was unwilling to take up the responsibility of the dean, but it was actually the first year for the Chinese Academy of Education to recruit new students, and the new students had a solid foundation. Too bad. It was a surprise to pass the preparatory course. There is really no way to give too much hope to their performance in the imperial examination. In addition, the palace is now the home of the National Education Academy, so he does not have to worry about encountering the same situation as last year. The problem.

He has more important things to do.

Seeing the seemingly endless water pouring into the pot of green leaves from the wooden ladle, he once again had the doubts he had in the past.

Qingye World is the same as Zhou Garden. Since it cannot grow bigger, why should we take care of it so carefully and let it continue to grow?

The Pope put down the wooden ladle, took a soft towel and wiped the water drops on his hands, motioned for him to sit down, and said: "Some rules may be too outdated and need to be changed, but you must also understand that without rules, there is no rule. Living under the stars, how can we not need to be in awe? If we all live like Su Li, we will naturally be happy, but don’t forget that rules are constraints to the strong, but sometimes they are protection to the weak. We need more Think more about how the world works rather than your own thoughts.”

Chen Changsheng had previously raised the issue of the Black Dragon and the Stele Server. The Pope gave a clear answer to the latter question, but did not mention a single word in advance. His attitude was already obvious.

"Uncle Master, your view of the world is different from that of the Holy Empress. That's why you have these problems?"

"You could think so."

"But..." Chen Changsheng still wanted to fight for it again.

The Pope raised his hand to indicate that he didn't have to say anything anymore, looked at him and said, "Even if you want to implement your views on the world, there is no need to rush it."

Chen Changsheng thought about the shadow lying in front of him, and thought that he had to be anxious.

"When you become pope, you can do whatever you want, and you won't have to ask me again."

"Uncle Master..."

"After hearing this, do you really want me to die early like Melisa?" The Pope looked at him and said with a smile.

Chen Changsheng didn't know how to answer this sentence at all.

"Don't worry, it won't be long."

The Pope walked to the potted plant and carefully wiped off the water drops on the green leaves with a handkerchief.

Chen Changsheng didn't get any good news in that quiet palace. Not long after he left, he heard unexpected good news - the Imperial Examination was officially over. The good news came that two students from the National Education Academy had entered. In the top three, Chu Wenbin, who transferred from Tiandaoyuan, even ranked seventeenth in the top two.

That night, the restaurants in Baihua Lane were brightly lit, and the teachers and students of the National Education College celebrated happily.

As for who comes first in this imperial examination, except for those gamblers who are addicted to gambling, no one really cares.

What the world is most concerned about now is the merger of the North and the South. Shortly after the end of the imperial examination, the negotiations between the two sides finally achieved perfect results. In the autumn, the North and the South will formally sign an agreement. The southern sects and aristocratic families with countless powerful monks and wealth will finally be merged into the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Although it is largely a nominal merger, After all, this was something that even Emperor Taizong failed to do. For a time, the entire continent was promoting the reputation of the Holy Queen.

Many people were worried about the possible hidden currents, which were tightly controlled by the imperial court. I don’t know how many fingers were broken and how many ghosts were added to the Beibing Masi Hutong. Zhou Tong and the officials loyal to the Queen of Tianhai, after their merits I don’t know how many bad things he has done in his book.

As for the most feared Demon Clan's southern invasion, luckily it has not come true. It is said that there have been continuous blizzards in the Demonic Snowfield this year. The Demon Clan royal family and nobles in Xue Lao City put all their thoughts on rescuing their own tribes and borrowing money. In terms of aircraft annexation and attack, they did not bother to take a second look to the south.

Like all ordinary people, Chen Changsheng is also very happy, because this means that the human world will be more united, stronger, and less likely to be defeated when facing the demons. This also means that Xu Yourong's status can be more transcendent, At the same time, it is said that Bai Di and his wife will come to attend the signing ceremony, so Luoluo will also come back, right?

The southern mission gradually left Kyoto, and Nan Xizhai's convoy left last, but it had to leave eventually.

For Xu Yourong, Kyoto was her hometown, and Saintess Peak would be the place where she would spend her long years of cultivation.

The wind and snow fell on the Naihe Bridge, as if I had returned to that day.

"See you at the Stone Cooking Conference."

"goodbye."

Chen Changsheng and Xu Yourong sat on the snow bridge, cherished each other, and then said goodbye.

He held a yellow paper umbrella and watched her figure gradually disappearing into the wind and snow, without much sadness about parting.

The Stone Cooking Conference is in the summer, so we will meet again soon, and he will always go to Nanxi Zhai.

On the contrary, his mind became calmer and calmer.

Not just to her, but to himself.

He firmly believed that he would be able to successfully change his destiny against the odds and live to be twenty years old, and then two hundred years old, year after year.

Because now, he is no longer alone, he wants to live with her for a long time.

He used to just think that he must live, but rarely thought about, and certainly never experienced too much, that living itself was a beautiful thing.

It wasn't until that day when the white gauze fell on the Naihe Bridge and he saw her eyes that he understood something.

Since that day, he has changed a lot. He still lives calmly and focusedly, but his life is much more natural and casual.

In other words, Chen Changsheng now lives a more vivid life and is no longer as dull or even dull as before.

This change in the spiritual world has in turn affected his efforts to stay alive.

He continued to read, study, meditate and practice. Although the five stone beads on his wrist did not release even the faintest breath, they were more useful than the most precious crystal stones. He continued to study. Su Li taught him the sword and all the swords in the world, and he did not forget to learn the one hundred and eight swords.

His realm is becoming more and more stable, getting closer and closer to the peak of Tongyou. The starlight that falls every night slowly accumulates in the meridians and orifices of his body, waiting for the moment when it shines brightly one day in the future, and he The future will be bright.

It has been almost two years since he came to Kyoto.

It has been a year since I entered Lingyan Pavilion and saw Wang Zhice's notes.

He has three years left.

In this year, he has never thought of changing his destiny according to what Wang Zhice said in his notes. Although he is now the next generation of pope recognized by the whole world, logically speaking, he has the best chance to do so. The one who is most qualified to make the whole world dance, thereby changing the appearance of the sea of ​​stars.

But he won't do that because too many people will die.

He believed that he could use three years to cultivate to the realm of Chongsheng, step into the sacred realm, and try to renew his meridians.

This sounds like an incredible and impossible thing, but since it only took him two years to transform from a young Taoist priest in the country who knew nothing to the current candidate Pope, he has already seen the way of Star Gathering Realm. A strong young man who has reached the threshold, so what else can he not do?

The word impossible didn't mean anything to him.

Because he can't be impossible.

…

…

Chen Changsheng is making progress, and so is the entire world.

It is indeed an era when wild flowers are in full bloom. After the generation of geniuses such as Wang Po, Xiao Zhang, Xun Mei, and Liang Wangsun, more geniuses have emerged.

Many lists issued by Tianji Pavilion were officially updated in the spring of this year.

The changes on the list this time are very big.

First of all, the list of 100 weapons, which has not changed for many years, finally ushered in a change.

Shuangyu Divine Spear is still ranked first.

Two broken knives ranked second.

Mu Jian Xiaofeng was third.

The reappearance of the Sky-Zealing Sword ranks fourth!

Everyone knows that this is because the person using the sword is too powerful.

This is also true, no matter how powerful the magic weapon is, it will eventually be able to exert its true power in the hands of a more powerful person.

Zangfeng, the national religious instrument that was painted gray because it was lost, once again appeared on the stage of the spiritual world, and the newly written ink characters were extremely clear. The sword named Wu Gu was ranked ninety-fifth, before the Six Imperial Armors, but still far behind the sixty-ninth Dragon Scale Sword, perhaps because of this reason.

The magical weapons on the Hundred Weapons List certainly attract attention, but what people really care about is the people themselves.

The top three lists of Xiaoyao, Dianjin, and Qingyun have also changed.
