Great Blue Night Watchman

The first Five Elements Rule Seed was successfully decrypted.

The second one is the gold system. Lin Su Li raised his hand for three days. His right arm was made of fine steel. He pointed on an eternal gold crystal in front of him. With a click, the gold crystal broke. He completed his gold system. rule.

The third one was of the fire element. Three days later, he stepped out of the fire.

The fourth one is the earth element. Lin Su seemed to have gone through the whole process from space to Saturn. One moment he felt that his whole body was as heavy as a mountain, another moment he felt as light as a feather. Finally, every step he took weighed ten thousand kilograms. , stretched out his finger, the ground in front of him cracked, and Lin Su came out of the Earth Rule Palace, as if he had taken off his winter clothes and put on summer clothes.

Lin Su counted the time, and 40 days had passed!

In 40 days, he completed all the necessary rules and comprehended them. However, his brows were furrowed. He had comprehended all the rules of the five elements and produced five rules seeds. However, he could not feel that the five secret realms were complete. Opportunities for integration.

There seems to be something missing.

If the five secret realms cannot be penetrated, he still cannot break through the laws of heaven and earth.

Why is this happening?

What else is missing?

His mind was focused on the water rule seeds, and he suddenly discovered the mystery.

The Water Rule Seed is different from the other four seeds!

The other four seeds are all full of the secrets of the great road, and although this water law seed has a little more vitality, it lacks a little of the great road...

Lin Su understands!

This water law seed is a human seed, not a natural seed!

The other four series of rules seeds are all heavenly seeds, so they cannot be fused.

It was so dangerous. Fortunately, he discovered it at this time. Otherwise, his path of cultivation would still be a dead end. There would be pitfalls at every step on the path of cultivation...

Lin Su plunged into the Water Rules Palace and slowly searched for the mystery of the Water Rules...

…

It's the end of May at this time.

The golden bell rang and the capital shook.

This scientific examination has come to an end.

Zhang Juzheng entered the hall with a smile on his face, and the eyes of the courtiers all gathered in his palm.

In the palm of his hand was Da Cang's roster of the top three thousand candidates for this palace examination.

1,200 people will be awarded Jinshi, and they will be selected from these 3,000 rosters.

Ji Guanggao sat on the dragon throne, feeling quite excited. After he ascended the throne, he took the first scientific examination, personally wrote the imperial examination, and the birth of a great scholar was the highest honor of the emperor.

Moreover, his glory goes far beyond that.

Among the Nine Kingdoms and Thirteen States, which emperor's imperial pen is as heavy as his?

There were 720 great Confucians born in the first-class countries, 360 great Confucians in the second-class countries, and 81 people in the third-class countries! And he, Yubi Yidian, 1,200 people!

This is almost double that of a first-class country!

Da Cang, a second-class country, fully reflects its high end today.

Zhang Juzheng bowed deeply: "Your Majesty, today's great blue sky, a new pattern, the temple has designated 1,200 Jinshi people, please give your Majesty's signature!"

The ministers of the DPRK and China knelt down at the same time: "Your Majesty, I respectfully invite you to open this new chapter!"

Ji Guang cast his gaze towards the distant sky: "This glory was created by King Wen. It's a pity that he is not here today, otherwise, I hope he will exercise this power!"

Zhang Juzheng smiled: "Roster, open!"

Three thousand names rose up in the sky, and the entire hall was illuminated at night...

All the courtiers' eyes were wide open and they didn't dare to blink, including Qu Wendong.

Qu Wendong was already an official, but after His Majesty came to the throne, he was extremely respectful to him. Whenever important events happened, he would be summoned to come to consult on politics. People in the capital privately called him Yin Pavilion. What is Yin Pavilion? The Zuo Shi Pavilion is the Ming Pavilion, and he is the elder of the Yin Pavilion.

Today, of course, he is here too.

Because several of his children also participated in the scientific examination.

Qu Zhe, Qu Wu, Qu Jin.

Three years ago, all three of them also participated. Qu Zhe was on this list. Ji Shang, in line with the basic guiding ideology of suppressing Qu Zhe and not creating too many variables, did not mention Qu Zhe's name, which caused Qu Zhe's name to fall off the list.

Afterwards, Qu Wendong was given a yellow mantle and ten gold beads as a token of comfort.

This old man Qu truly felt the coldness of the court.

But today is completely different.

As long as these three of his disciples are on this list, His Majesty will definitely order them!

But there is also a premise, that is, this young man must fight for this and be on this candidate list. Otherwise, His Majesty will not be able to take care of him no matter how much he wants to.

His literary eyes moved around the whole place, and his heart suddenly tightened.

There is no one named Qu, not one!

Qu Wendong's whole body was cold...

A voice penetrated into his ears: "Don't worry, Mr. Qu Ge. Not being on this list does not mean that you have failed. Maybe nephew Qu Zhe can give you a bigger surprise?"

It's Chen Geng.

Another voice came, but it was Deng Hongbo: "Don't worry, Mr. Qu Ge. My Akiyama Noh High School candidate is in the top ten. He admires your Qu Zhe very much. There is no reason why your Qu Zhe is not on the list." , it is only possible to be on the list of saints."

Qu Wendong expressed his gratitude to the two bosses Wen Dao for their sound transmission, but his heart was no longer in its original place.

Three years ago, it was also in this golden palace that he took a roller coaster ride. Qu Jin, who was full of expectations, was not on the list. Qu Zhe, who had never paid much attention to him, was on the list. Instead, he had a faint expectation in his heart. Qu Jin's literary works were not on the list. The Taoist background has always been above that of Qu Zhe. Will he be on the list of holy scholars?

But the final result was extremely cruel, and Qu Jin was nowhere near a thousand people.

Although Qu Zhe is among the thousand names, he is also named Luosunshan.

What about today?

This start is another huge suspense...

What he is most looking forward to this year is Qu Zhe, because after all, Qu Zhe was on this list last time. This time he studied hard for three years and his background has been greatly improved. However, who can say accurately about the scientific examination?

Past achievements do not count at all.

Experience is of no use either.

Da Cang's quota of Jinshi scholars has indeed increased several times this year, but the competition is also fierce. Tens of thousands of people from Dayu came over, and they did squeeze Da Cang's quota.

A list, some people are happy and some are sad.

Ji Guang's imperial pen pointed out the list of Jinshi. Several of them caught Zhou Zhang's attention. Sun Linbu, Qi Bei...

"Master Zhang, is this Sun Linbu the son-in-law of Qiushui Villa?"

Zhang Juzheng frowned: "Mr. Zhou asked very strangely, which candidate's introduction have you ever seen, whose son-in-law is written down? How do I know whose son-in-law he is? I only know that he is from Huihe County, Zhongzhou people."

"That's right! Lin Bu, the grandson of Zhongzhou Huihe, is the son-in-law of Qiushui Villa. I ask this because his status as the son-in-law of Qiushui Villa is the link between him and Lin Su."

Calling Lin Su this kid, there are probably less than ten people in the whole country. Unfortunately, Old Man Zhou and Old Man Zhang are among them.

Who told this kid to catch their daughter and take her into a ditch?

You've played so outrageously. As elders, why don't we still show respect to you?

Ever since, as long as they were chatting in private, these old men would be like this kid, and they would yell like that, and no outsiders would know anyway.

A smile appeared on Zhang Juzheng's face: "I know what you want to say... I read it all, and most of the people who have some relationship with this boy are on the list. For example, Qi Bei, the son of King Nan, is Along with Deng Qiushan, those who have read the information he left, such as Cui Yanzhou, have read the information he left with Sun Linbu. For example, your young master has also read the information he left. Only one person, some Surprisingly, it’s Qu Zhe. Qu Zhe has been with him the longest and has the deepest understanding. If Qu Zhe gets on the list of holy scholars, I think this kid will probably have no peace in the future!"

Zhang Juzheng's words are absolutely correct.

If this news spreads out, all the students who interact with Lin Su will be named on the gold medal list, so what's the point? In the entire Da Cang Kingdom, oh no, who in the Nine Kingdoms and Thirteen States doesn’t want to have some interactions with him?

Think about it, one intersection can produce a great Confucian.

Aren't those high-ranking families, those aristocratic families, and even the major princes going crazy?

Zhou Zhang smiled softly: "Others can just pay it back. This Nanwang will probably have to buy up all the good wine in Ningzhou. The Nanwang Mansion has never produced a scholar or scholar!"

"How did you become the prime minister? You don't even understand the details of King Nan, but I can tell you that his relationship with that kid is even deeper than you and me. He still needs to buy wine? Just say hello and the Lin family will send it directly to Baiyunbian Come to the door!"

Um?

Zhou Zhang was stunned.

King of the South?

The friendship with him is so deep?

I had known that he had some friendship with King Nan before, but I didn't know that the friendship had reached such an extent that it was actually deeper than him and Zhang Juzheng?

Zhang Juzheng's next sentence is somewhat meaningful: "The King of Nan is really wise. Three years ago today, he came to catch his son-in-law. He caught the boy directly. Who said he didn't learn from it?" A barbarian without skills? Just by this one thing, you can tell the autumn by looking at the leaves."

Zhou Zhang fully realized...

It turns out to be this relationship!

But what is your basis for judging relationships, Mr. Zhang?

Do you only care about his relationship with our daughter?

He and Princess Nanwang are already married. He and my family, Zhou Mei and your family, Zhang Yiyu, have not yet lifted the veil, so Nanwang has a close relationship with him.

Depend on! You are a bachelor! How is it appropriate for you to interpret your relationship positioning below the waistband?

One thousand two hundred points of imperial pen, how many people in the world fell into carnival?

Next, publish the list!

On the announcement day, everyone was extremely nervous...

Three guests came to the Haining magistrate's office.

Although they were three female dependents, Magistrate Yang still accompanied them personally and opened the official seal for them to watch directly. The three women were Cui Ying, Cui Mu and Cui Miao.

The girls were very excited because they were allowed to see the results of the scientific examination for the first time.

This is something Cui's mother never dared to think about before.

However, with Cui Ying here, everything is no problem.

Magistrate Yang gave them the greatest courtesy, and even Magistrate Yang's son Yang Chun knelt down to greet Cui Ying, calling her his master's wife.

This made them understand that today's favor was all because of that magical son-in-law.

As soon as the official seal was displayed, the list of Jinshi passed by, and the women held their hands very tightly. Suddenly, a name jumped out, Cui Yanzhou!

Cui Ying and Cui Miao screamed and jumped together.

Cui's mother, on the other hand, stared blankly, her eyes wide open, tears oozing out of her eyes and flowing down her face...

There was no painting on the Qiushui painting screen above the attic of the Lin family today. She stared at the projection of the official seal above the prefect's mansion through the thousands of feet of void.

She also saw the name she wanted to see: Sun Linbu!

As soon as the name came out, Qiushui Huaping took up his hands and drew a nine-curved corridor, and returned to his hometown in one step. On the side of Yueying Tower, Qiushui's red clothes kept spinning on the corridor, Qiushui Huaping's smile appeared: "Fifth sister, Good news! Your husband-in-law is already a scholar!"

Qiu Shui Hongshang's whole body stiffened and slowly collapsed.

Qiushui Villa was filled with joy.

In Prince Nan's Mansion, King Nan's eyes suddenly widened, and suddenly a long roar shook the entire palace...

"My son is already a scholar! Today in the Nanwang Mansion, everyone is giving me a drink. I can't do it without drinking..."

When the prince's voice came out, the expressions of all the maids changed. Oh my god, we are women, can we not drink Baiyunbian? That thing has great stamina...

The princess blushed and patted the princess beside her on the shoulder: "Yao'er, he is really a legend. Bei'er only read a few information about him and he really won the Jinshi."

"Of course!" The princess held her chest high: "My husband..."

The sound stopped suddenly...

The princess stared at her fiercely: "Remember two points! First, you can't call him your husband before getting married! Second, you can't spread it everywhere that he sent people to the gold list with just a few books of information, otherwise, for Mom, I can tell you that he is not necessarily your husband-in-law. There are countless people in the nine countries and thirteen states who want to call him husband-in-law, but you can't even fight for him!"

The face of the princess changed, and the pride in her heart turned directly into a sense of crisis...

The climax of the gold list naming has arrived!

The last three!

Li Xie, the number one scholar, what does it mean to be second in the rankings, Qu Zhe, the most beautiful man?

The door of Qu Mansion opened wide, and a servant ran in from outside, shouting: "The Fourth Young Master is looking for the beautiful lady! The Fourth Young Master is looking for the beautiful lady!"

The door of Qu Wendong's study suddenly opened. At this moment, he seemed to be twenty years younger.

Someone in the Qu family finally opened the door to Jinshi again, and once he opened it, he was so unimaginable, one of the Three Scholars! Tan Hua Lang!

In front of the Confucian Temple, Qu Zhe slowly raised his head, tears streaming from his eyes.

Scenes from three years ago flowed through his eyes.

All the hardships of the past three years flowed through his mind.

"Brother Lin, where are you? Can you see it at this moment?" He looked at the sky thousands of miles away.

Suddenly, there was a bang and a person fell to the ground.

Qu Zhe's eyes fell and he was startled, Qu Jin!

Qu Jin turned pale and fell to the ground.

Qu Zhe reached out to help him up, but Qu Jin suddenly broke away and ran out of the Wen Dao Golden Circle.

In a scientific examination, Qu Jin was once again unknown on the list. The former top talent that Qu Jia had high hopes for had suffered setbacks in two consecutive exams, and his mentality had collapsed.

Qu Zhe looked at his back with sadness flowing in his eyes.

Qu Jin, after all, you didn’t listen to what Brother Lin said to you before the scientific examination three years ago.

He uses the most brutal method to tear apart your veil, telling you that people who are too proud can easily lose themselves, and severe cases require strong medicine. If you could understand his good intentions, what would be your ending?

But things in the world are like this. Some people will reflect on it after experiencing pain, and some people will not and will only drift away in the whirlpool...

Qu Jin is this kind of person.

He cannot see the real light on the road. He will only remember those people or things that are not worth remembering. His pride makes him miss the opportunity to grow, and his paranoia will eventually make him accomplish nothing.

Next, Saburo patrolled the sky, Tianma soared into the sky, and the nine countries and thirteen states set off a new wave of literary craze at the same time.

There is only one country currently shrouded in endless haze.

That's Ohsumi.

Osumi canceled the scientific examination. During the scientific examination period, other capitals were the most lively and prosperous in the past three years, but its capital was unprecedentedly deserted, and it was getting more and more deserted.

No more scientific examinations.

The craze for literature and Taoism has also receded, and even daily literary and poetry gatherings will be inexplicably a bit desolate, because their topics cannot include scientific examinations.

What do literati talk about if they don’t talk about scientific examinations?

Are you talking about the sister-in-law next door playing with turtles?

"Brother Zhou! Dayu is no longer a place for us literati to stay. Let's go south!" A literati in Chinese clothes gently held up the glass of wine.

"If it was possible to go south, we should have gone south three months ago..." Brother Zhou sighed softly: "But my father has never been able to take this step. If I go south privately, my father will be hurt by me."

Why……

Two sighs...

In the deep palace, Li Chi looked at the horizon. His face was as gloomy as water. The oppression of the people and the disunity of the scholar community had become a poisonous snake in the past few months, invading the thousands of miles of territory in Dayu, and also turned into a prick in his heart. The deepest thorn.

As a heroic king, Li Chi can face enemies from all directions, raise a butcher's knife and slaughter a whole city. Whatever he wants to do can be accomplished; anything he doesn't like can be eliminated.

However, this does not include the desperate policy laid down by Lin Su.

This strategy is too poisonous!

The scientific examination was cancelled, the scholars rushed to flee, and Osumi's national power was reduced at a speed visible to the naked eye. He wanted to kill all the nine escaped scholars, but for the first time, he did not dare to drop the raised butcher knife.

Because he knew that as long as he really used the butcher's knife, he would not be able to hold back at all. He would not only lose his civility, but also all the major aristocratic families. At that time, his country might really no longer be his. !

Outside the study, golden light flashed, and the watchman appeared in front of him with his crown high.

"Your Majesty!" Li Chi bowed slightly.

The watchman Duan Shiqi also bowed slightly: "The watchmen of the Nine Kingdoms and Thirteen States are all very busy today, but I am the only one who is watching the parade of Pegasus from other countries in the distance. My heart is worried, and your Majesty's heart is also mine. Well, your Majesty’s shame is also my shame.”

Li Chi's eyes flashed with blood: "Is there any way to change things, your envoy?"

"The matter of scientific research has been adjudicated by the temple, and there is absolutely no way to change it. However, for such a tragic situation, someone will eventually have to pay the price for it..."

He didn't say any more, but Li Chi's eyes showed a bit of blazing light: "In the temple..."

"Your Majesty, there are some things that can only be understood and cannot be expressed in words!"

…

Northwest of Da Cang Kingdom's capital city, thousands of miles away.

Xijing, Zezhou.

It was already late at night.

On the lonely peak outside the city, the cold moon and the remaining stars are visible.

Dugu Xing sat cross-legged on the top of the mountain. The mountain wind was blowing. No one moved, his clothes were not moved, and his hair was not moved. The sword above his knees seemed to have moved. This sword was stained with rust. If this sword was thrown on the road Probably no one will pick it up, but no one dares to deny that this is the most terrifying sword in the entire Great Cang Kingdom.

It once chopped off two second-grade official seals with one sword in front of the former monarch Ji Shang, and killed a second-grade official Qin Fangweng.

At this moment, the sword was shining slightly, and countless shadows were playing on the top of the sword.

Three of Dugu's Nine Swords were performed in front of Dugu Xing under this moonlit night.

This was given to him by Lin Su. With his attainments in swordsmanship, he naturally learned and mastered it quickly. After these three moves, his sword world has reached an incredible level.

Suddenly, the shadow on the sword stopped moving and disappeared.

Dugu Xing slowly opened his eyes.

From the western sky, a figure came through the sky.

This is an old man with a gray beard, but his temperament is extraordinary.

Dugu Xing stared at the old man who was getting closer and closer, with surprise in his eyes.

"Brother Dugu!" The old man clasped his hands in his fists: "Do you still remember the shore of the lake a hundred years ago?"

Dugu Xing stared at this face: "Zhu Longshan?"

The old man laughed loudly: "A hundred years have passed by so quickly, and you can still recognize Brother Dugu as soon as we meet. It's worth the glass of wine I drank with you that day."

Dugu Xing frowned: "It's not surprising that I met you. What's strange is... wasn't it rumored that you died in Yin Yun Ridge ten years ago?"

"Ten years ago, Zhu died indeed, but he only died in the secular world. The new Zhu Longshan was resurrected in another place. Do you know where it is?" Zhu Longshan's voice was somewhat mysterious.

"where?"

"Hidden Dragon Valley!"

Dugu Xing's eyes suddenly lit up, like two cold stars in the dark night: "Ji Shang's Hidden Dragon Valley?"

Zhu Longshan smiled slightly: "Your Majesty's Hidden Dragon, the world thinks it is only in Zhizhi Hall, but they have forgotten one thing. The cunning rabbit has three burrows, let alone the Hidden Dragon?"

Dugu Xing narrowed his eyes slightly: "Brother Zhu reveals his secret today, aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"

"Causing trouble? Haha..." Zhu Longshan laughed loudly: "The disaster in the world has been unprecedented, but you are alone and willing to be the lackey of the rebellious ministers and thieves. The disaster will be even worse... tonight!"

As soon as the last four words fell...

I wish Longshan’s body suddenly expands!

The moment it expanded, a big sword slashed out!

As soon as the sword came out, the whole world turned like waves, and Dugu Xing was like a lone boat in the huge waves of the sky!

The iron sword in Dugu Xing's hand suddenly shook!

choke!

With a chirp, draw your sword!

A sword light bloomed from Zhu Longshan's eyebrows...

Zhu Longshan's dharma body had just reached 300 feet, and suddenly shrank in size. His face was full of disbelief...

Dugu Xing's swordsmanship actually grew again on the original basis, and grew to such an incredible level. Dugu's Nine Swords were drawn out from his hand, completely ignoring space and time.

However, Dugu Xing's face did not show the pride and relaxation of killing the enemy with one sword at all. Instead, it was as gloomy as water. The cold moon and the remaining stars in the sky completely disappeared at this moment, replaced by darkness, which was incredibly thick.

And it's all ink. In the sea of ​​ink, there is endless murderous intent.

"Literary world!" Dugu Xing shouted.

The loud shouting caused the undercurrent of the ink sea to stir, but it was not enough to tear through the darkness.

A voice came from nowhere: "Dugu Xing, the catastrophe of the founding of the country was blocked by the sword gate, but you can't stop today's catastrophe!"

"I've blocked it!"

The long sword in Dugu Xing's hand shook, and the nine-point cold star suddenly shot out. The cold star went straight into the sky, just like the stars reappearing in the sky!

As soon as the stars came out, there were nine points of light in the ink world, which was so dense that it couldn't see the light of the sky.

"Dugu's Nine Swords are only for swordsmanship and the first of the five arts and arts. Only you can break them..." There was laughter in the air.

As soon as his laughter started, the nine o'clock lights suddenly merged into one line!
