5160 Go to the capital

"What? You refuse?"

At this moment, Xuanyuan Scholar's words shocked the stone statue again. He couldn't believe it. In the past 100 years, he has said similar words to everyone who came to pray, but without exception, no one refused.

It was with his help that so many people were admitted to fame, but as soon as they were admitted to fame, they immediately seemed to have changed their personalities.

In the past hundred years, no one has ever rejected him, and the scholar Xuanyuan in front of him is the first.

"You can think about it, without my help, you might not even be able to pass an exam. With my help, you can pass all the exams directly!"

The stone statue thought it was because he did not speak clearly, and emphasized it again.

"I know that if I don't pass the exam, it means that I don't have enough knowledge. I can go home and study for a few more years. If I still fail the exam, then I can study for a few more years!" Xuanyuan Scholar is still a complete Not caring, he said with a smile.

"you!?"

At this moment, the stone statue thought that he was looking at a monster, a monster with no desires and a sincere heart. In the past hundred years, he has seen all kinds of people, all of them are full of desires and will do anything to achieve their goals, but they are as sincere as Xuanyuan Scholar. There is not one person.

Could it be that he really did something wrong before, that he was not helping those people, but harming them!

"Senior, I know that you have great abilities and can help me pass the exam, but that will only change my original intention. I don't want to be such a person, so I can't accept your help, I have to rely on my own strength to go Exam!" Xuanyuan Scholar said firmly again.

The stone statue listened silently, and did not speak for a long time, but at this moment, he felt extremely relieved. For hundreds of years, there has always been a problem in front of him, and that is why no one can complete his own. Long-cherished wish, now, he wants to understand everything, and this is the reason.

I can help them gain fame and even a lot of things after that, but that has changed the original intentions of these people, making them mercenary, so lofty!

Only by relying on your true talents and learning can you realize your long-cherished wish.

"It's been a hundred years, I finally want to understand all these problems, it turned out to be like this!"

The stone statue let out a burst of laughter. The emotions in the laughter were extremely complicated, ranging from gratification to sudden joy, but also sadness and helplessness.

After laughing, the stone statue felt extremely comfortable, and said to the scholar Xuanyuan: "Thank you for answering your questions today, I understand your intentions, you can take the test with confidence!"

After speaking, the stone statue first disappeared in front of Xuanyuan Scholar's eyes, turned into a streamer, and returned to the incense burner.

Scholar Xuanyuan turned around and saw that the stone statue had changed a bit. The stone statue that he saw when he first came in was sullen and majestic, but at this moment there seemed to be a faint smile.

Thinking that the exam time was very close, Scholar Xuanyuan didn't stay any longer. After bowing to the stone statue again, he hurried down the mountain and ran to the capital.

After tens of days of traveling, scholar Xuanyuan finally read through several mountains and saw the extremely splendid and luxurious capital on the plain in front of him. This city is the center of the ancient Xia Kingdom and has existed for hundreds of years. In the past few hundred years, successive monarchs have kept repairing, making the capital more and more prosperous.

Scholar Xuanyuan hurriedly entered the city. He saw that even the gate to the city was more luxurious than the gates of the palaces of some other small kingdoms. Once he entered the city, he also saw a bustling scene, spacious and clean streets, people. People come and go, the traffic is busy, and there is an endless stream.

However, Scholar Xuanyuan didn't have the heart to appreciate these. The purpose of his visit was to take the exam. He quickly left the downtown area and found an inn to live in, waiting for the exam in three days.

The ancient Xia Kingdom's exams are divided into three levels, and one needs to pass the test one level at a time before it can be regarded as a real test.

Three days later, the capital will hold the first exam. Anyone can participate in this exam. There are a lot of people, but in the end only a hundred people will be selected. These hundred people will take the second exam. Fifty people will be screened out. People go to take the final exam, and the 15 people who finally win are the champions of this year.

Scholar Xuanyuan is bound to win this time. He has made sufficient preparations, and there is no reason for him to fall off the list.

Then, three days later, Scholar Xuanyuan went to take the first exam. The scene can be described in one word - a sea of ​​people!

People from all parts of the ancient Xia Kingdom flocked like mountains and seas, but fortunately, the organization was orderly and the exam started soon. Everything was as expected by Scholar Xuanyuan. What he wrote was a delightful and dripping one, and while everyone was still thinking about it, he had already written and handed it in.

Two days later, when the results were announced, Scholar Xuanyuan's name was impressively ranked first. He was not surprised, he knew that he deserved it.

Three days later, in the second exam, this time there were only 100 people, and the number of people was almost one tenth less at once, and of course it was much quieter.

Although the content of the second test was a bit more difficult than the first test, it was still not a big problem for Scholar Xuanyuan. Although it took a while, it was completed safely, and when the results were announced, they were still is in the third place.

Victory is in sight, and he only needs to pass the last exam and ensure that his ranking is within fifteenth.

Three days passed quietly, and the last exam came.

The final exam questions were obviously more difficult than the previous two exams. Scholar Xuanyuan began to think seriously, trying to analyze this problem from all aspects, and put all his accumulation over the years into this. in the next exam.

After he had said everything he wanted to say, he looked up and saw that he was the only one left out of the fifty who had not yet handed in the papers. He hurriedly got up and handed over the papers, waiting for the results to be released tomorrow.

Although he knew that it was impossible for him to fall off the list, he was still a little uneasy in his heart, especially in the process of waiting for the results, this torment made him a little uncontrollable.

He stayed up all night, and when the results were announced the next day and his name was at the top of the list, he jumped up happily.

Three exams, two tops, and one top three, such impressive results, even if one looks at the entire history of the ancient Xia Kingdom, they can still be ranked, that is to say, he is the champion.

Immediately, a guard officer came to deliver the decree, and the monarch of the ancient Xia Kingdom summoned fifteen people who passed the exam to enter the hall and accept the appointment.

Chapter 5161 Golden Ladder

These fifteen people are naturally ecstatic, and they have traveled thousands of miles to this step. Finally, they have lived up to these years of hard work. Through their hard work, they have won their own fame, so that they can do things for the people of the entire dynasty. This is The great honor is also the career that Xuanyuan Scholar wanted to pursue all his life.

The King's Hall of the ancient Xia Kingdom was built in the center of the capital. It covers a very large area. There are many palaces and pavilions, which are extremely luxurious. Besides, all the buildings in the capital are built around the King's Hall. built, with this as the center, and scattered around.

Because no matter which direction you are looking from the capital, as long as you look up, you will definitely see the hall that is almost towering into the clouds. subjects.

Everyone is in awe of this, although many people have quite a few criticisms in their hearts, but because this is the matter of the emperor, no one dares to say a word.

Of the fifteen people accompanying, all were silent, following the guards, passing through the arches, bypassing the halls, and passing through a series of countless corridors and pavilions, and then came to the tallest hall. .

The stairs in front of this hall are made of gold. It is said that when they unified the eight directions, they were collected from the treasuries of various dynasties, and the ancient Xia King melted them all to cast this golden ladder with dozens of steps.

Fifteen people came to the golden ladder, just at this moment, a piece of sunlight shone over and spread on the golden ladder. Suddenly, the dazzling light caused fourteen of the fifteen people present to be shaken. He quickly raised his arm to block his eyes to avoid swaying his eyes, but despite this, his eyes were blinded for a moment.

However, among the fifteen people, Scholar Xuanyuan stood quietly as if nothing happened, staring straight ahead, as if he was not stabbed by the golden light at all. He stood proudly and looked very confident. He didn't say anything, but his eyes were always full of confidence.

This surprised the guards. Over the past 100 years, countless people who have passed the exam and came to this hall will be caught by the golden ladder, and Scholar Xuanyuan will climb the only one that does not move like a mountain. It seems that this golden ladder The radiance of his eyes can't compare to the confident radiance in his eyes.

Scholar Xuanyuan himself was also very strange. He didn't feel any dazzling white light. There was only a pale yellow staircase in front of him. But when he saw the dozen or so people who were traveling with him, all of them were blinded by the light, so he was curious. He asked the guard officer, "Master guard officer, what's wrong with them...?"

"At noon, the golden ladder is reflected by the sun, and the light emitted is easy to dazzle people. They are dazzled, but you are very different!"

The guard also looked at Scholar Xuanyuan with a strange look on his face. He wanted to know why the scholar was not swayed.

"But I don't think it's very dazzling, it's normal!" Xuanyuan Scholar shook his head and said.

"That's really strange, well, you wait here for a while, I'll report to the king!"

After speaking, the guard carefully walked upstairs from the path beside the golden ladder and entered the hall to report.

And taking advantage of this time, the rest of the people were also very curious about why Scholar Xuanyuan was not caught in the eye, and Scholar Xuanyuan himself couldn't answer, after all, he didn't know either.

The fourteen people were very strange, but seeing that Scholar Xuanyuan had not said anything, he did not ask too much.

After a while, the guard walked out of the hall and shouted to the fifteen people in front of the golden ladder: "Please enter the hall for fifteen talented people!"

After the announcement by the guard, the fifteen people immediately began to organize their clothes and appearance, meticulously, even a single fold of the clothes was carefully ironed by hand, trying to keep themselves in the fullest state, from the trails on both sides of the golden ladder. And on.

During this process, none of the fifteen people dared to speak too much. They all knew what they were about to face. That was the monarch of a country, the monarch who ruled over millions of subjects.

Although this is a world where the world of immortality and the ordinary world coexist, in the world, the life and death of kings are still very important.

Going up to the door of the main hall, Scholar Xuanyuan saw that nine huge doors were opened at the same time. Looking inward from these opened doors, he could clearly see the ancient Xia King sitting on the throne. He was dressed in black, with a crown on his head, exuding a sense of majesty in the world.

Fifteen people stood in front of the main hall in unison, and bowed respectfully to the king in the hall.

"come in!"

Immediately, a slightly rough voice was heard from the hall, and the deep voice immediately made the fifteen people tremble, as if there was a power that directly hit the soul shrouded above their heads.

Fifteen people bowed and saluted, and entered the hall with the guards.

When they were fifty paces away from the monarch of the ancient Xia Kingdom, the guard signaled them to stop, and he also stepped aside.

Scholar Xuanyuan raised his head slightly and looked forward, with a sense of solemnity in his heart. He is indeed the monarch of the ancient Xia Kingdom. Just this glance in his eyes is enough to make people feel endless fear.

Seeing him get up and walk towards him, Scholar Xuanyuan took a deep breath and tried his best to remain calm.

"Don't be so nervous, you can stand here and have defeated thousands of people. Ancient Xia Kingdom needs talented elites like you!"

The monarch of the ancient Xia Kingdom spread his hands, put on a posture of wanting the world, and said very politely and generously.

"Thank you for your appreciation, I will do my best to share the worries for the monarch!" The fifteen people were very moved after hearing this, and all bowed to the monarch of the ancient Xia Kingdom.

"That's right, this is what I want, hahaha, I hope you can help me as much as I can, and help me unify this great river and mountains!"

The monarch of the ancient Xia Kingdom laughed loudly, and the pride and ambition in his words made people seem to see a monarch with ambition and ambition in the world.

Hearing the words of the monarch, Scholar Xuanyuan was extremely excited. He felt that his ambition seemed to be finally realized.

However, at this moment, when Scholar Xuanyuan was full of ambition, a person suddenly stood up beside him, first glanced at Scholar Xuanyuan, and then cupped his hands to the monarch of the ancient Xia Kingdom: "Reporting to the monarch, Caomin thinks I want to explain a situation to you, the person named Xuanyuan Scholar standing in front of you, he once went to the mountain temple to worship!"
