I Created the Myth of the Old Ruler

Three hundred and fifty-seven. Imperial Examination

"What happened to that woman?"

Lu Tan always felt that she seemed to be particularly interested in him.

If it is really the spirit body of Shenying, is it because of its rejection of outsiders?

Lu Tiao looked at the mask again, and there seemed to be more scars on it.

"This mask allows me to disguise myself when facing the bandaged man, and I can also use the characteristics of the bandaged man to sneak into some places at certain times."

Lu Tan thought.

The [Alienation] level of this mask looks like the person wearing the mask will turn into a bandaged person.

The side effects, obviously, are that you will hear all kinds of nonsense from the filth and the bandaged people, and if you are unlucky, you may explode on the spot.

But Lu Jian didn't think the problem was that big.

If he wears it again now, it might not explode.

"nice one."

Putting the mask away, Lu Tiao walked around the yard again, but found no sign of the woman.

"Is it because I buried something next to her yesterday, so she came here to retaliate? She's too petty. This is your witch after all."

Lu Tan felt that this guy was really a coward.

He picked up the note Amber left for him.

There are words like "I have an examination in the afternoon, I hope you can come and have a look" written on it in neat characters.

Lu Jian has been popularized before. The palace examination has a very high status among the tests of shrine maidens. Almost getting the first place in the palace examination means that she can definitely become the officiating shrine maiden.

Therefore, Kohaku hoped that Lu Kan could see her surpass everyone and become a well-deserved officiating witch.

After packing up his things, Lu Tian went around to the little girl, but saw no sign of her. When he arrived at the shrine where the palace examination was held, he discovered that many witches had gathered here to watch the competition.

The competition hasn't started yet, but the venue has already let Lu Jian know about the project.

Kyudo.

This is an archery dojo.

Thinking of Amber's archery skills, Lu Tan felt there was nothing wrong with it.

However, he also thought about why the selection of the officiating witch requires a test of archery skills?

Shouldn't the control of pure fire be a spell or a word spirit? It feels like there's something wrong with selecting an officiating shrine maiden for an event that ordinary people can perform after practicing it.

"Kyudo is an offering to the divine Sakura. The original Lord Kamiko used bows and arrows to exorcise demons. Therefore, archery is the behavior of the regional divine Sakura."

The cold miko lady appeared next to Lu Tian at some point. She seemed to see Lu Tian's doubts and explained.

"At the same time, archery in this situation can better reveal the realm of practice. If you can't get rid of foreign objects, you can't see the world. As a son of God, the most important thing is vision. Being able to see filth is the most important thing. One ring.”

"I see, it's all about training your perception ability, right? I see that every time Shenzi Pavilion shoots arrows, they are very fast. It seems that the priestess has foreseen the appearance of the filth in advance, so she can prepare in time."

Lu Tan was thoughtful and thought of something else.

"Speaking of which, won't Lord Shenzi come to witness her successor?"

Lu Tan looked around, but didn't find anyone who looked like the officiating witch.

"Lord Shenzi will not appear here. There are more important things that need her."

The miko lady said in a cold tone.

"Oh, then there should be no imperial decree."

Lu Tan thought it was pretty good.

He saw a miko coming to the archery position amidst the noise. She was holding a long bow and arrows, with a serious look on her face, looking at the target in front of her.

In this environment, it is obvious that she seems to be slightly affected and her standing is somewhat shaken.

Maybe the oppressive power of amber is also part of it.

It's like playing a game when you just go out with straw sandals and find that you are facing a big brother in a six-god suit. It is probably the last thing you can do if you can pray not to be killed solo by jumping over the tower.

The witch prepared for a moment, calmed down, and started shooting arrows.

Thumb——

The first arrow hit the bullseye.

Even though she showed her nervousness, the miko performed really well when her direct shot was sure to hit.

"This is the basic skill among the basic skills, and the next step is the real test."

The miko lady next to Lu Tiao explained.

He saw that the witch shot another arrow.

This arrow hit the bullseye again, right next to the previous one, and already occupied the entire bullseye position.

In this way, the third arrow will definitely not be able to hit the bullseye.

Thumb——

Sure enough, the third arrow missed the target because of the slight deviation from the previous two arrows.

The next seven arrows are lackluster.

Lu Tiao saw that after the last arrow was shot, the miko felt disappointed for a moment, but more importantly, she felt relieved, as if a mission was finally over.

The performance of the next few mikos was similar. Even the one with the Sanada family crest only hit seven arrows.

At this time, the whole place suddenly became quiet.

Lu Tran saw Amber appear.

Compared to other miko, she is smaller, which makes the bow in her hand appear larger.

She held the arrow, and her nervousness could be seen. She took two deep breaths, and Amber's eyes swept over the surrounding witches.

She saw Lu Tan.

They only looked at each other for a moment, but Lu Tian did see light in her eyes.

Amber seemed determined.

This is a life of giving up the freedom you may have to get here. If you lose here, it will be completely meaningless.

With this thought in her mind, she drew the bowstring.

Closing her eyes, all the noise around her left her.

Silence fell.

At this time, Amber saw a light spot emerging in front of him.

Along with this light spot, she could feel the existence of her body, just like a sketch with only white lines in a pure black picture, everything was decomposed into the most basic elements.

"It turns out this is seeing the world."

Amber could see the lights of thousands of houses outside the dojo, and the black mold on the vast ocean.

She felt that her heart was clear and integrated with the sky, the earth, and the ocean.

In this natural state, the arrow leaves the string.

Thumb——

The arrow landed firmly on the bull's-eye without any suspense.

Immediately afterwards, the second arrow followed.

However, the second arrow directly split the first arrow into four, penetrated the entire arrow from the tail, and was firmly nailed to the bullseye.

The third arrow, the fourth arrow, ten arrows in a row, each arrow landed at the position of the previous arrow, firmly, without any room for argument.

All the shrine maidens present fell silent as Kohaku's arrows were fired, holding their breath and concentrating until the last arrow, after hesitating for tens of seconds, they burst into applause and exclamations.

Lu Tiao also applauded. He saw Amber, who was surrounded by a group of miko, looking towards him. She smiled, and in the background were cherry blossoms falling at a speed of five centimeters per second.

She would become the Son of God and protect the world. It was not until this moment that Lu Tiao clearly felt this.
