Chapter 11 The Academy of Heaven and Earth Literature

Prince Tianwu's Mansion.

While Lin Ran was thinking, the figure of winter appeared in the fairy soul's perception.

He came to the entrance of the palace and stopped.

"Your Majesty, I'm here!" Dong Dong stood at the door of the palace and shouted towards the palace.

"Come in." Lin Ran's voice came out, and then Dong Dong's cheerful figure came into view.

"Eh?" Dong Dong was about to say something when he suddenly let out a sigh and looked at Lin Ran in front of him in surprise.

"My lord, have you made a breakthrough?"

Lin Ran looked at her in surprise. How could she tell that his aura was so restrained?

"Can you tell?"

"No." Dong Dong shook his head, "I just feel that your soul aura, Prince, is at a higher level."

Lin Ran nodded when he heard this, that's it.

The Holy Spirit has a very keen sense of the soul. Lin Ran and Dong Dong have been together day and night. His soul aura and rank are very familiar to Dong Dong. Naturally, the qualitative changes caused by breaking through a large rank cannot be hidden from Dong Dong, the Holy Spirit of Fengxue.

The Holy Spirit...the source of life?

Lin Ran thought of the snow lotus lantern seeds stored in his time and space mark. If they could be successfully conceived, they might be able to reshape the body of the Holy Spirit in winter.

Glancing at the distracted little girl, Lin Ran smiled and suppressed the thought.

"What's up."

"The Xiayuan Conference has started for seven days. Today is the time for the selection of the top 100 people for the literary test. I came to ask the prince if you would like to go and have a look." Dong Dong said the reason for his visit.

"Has it been seven days since the Xiayuan Conference?" Lin Ran was slightly surprised, "Where are Wei Yi's results?"

"It's worthy of entering the top 100."

"Who is the examiner of the literary test?"

"Su Yu, a great scholar from the Heaven and Earth Palace."

No wonder.

Marquis Wu of Wei was of the Zhusheng lineage, and Su Yu was born in the Heaven and Earth Wen Palace and was also a great scholar of the Zhusheng lineage. It was normal to suppress Wei Yi.

"Go and take a look, I still have some things to deal with." Lin Ran said after pondering for a long time.

"Oh." Dong Dong didn't doubt his presence, so he responded and left.

The immortal soul radiated away.

You don’t have to go, but you can still watch the Xiayuan Conference.

The Xiayuan Conference was held in the Anhe Garden outside the imperial city. Anhe Garden was a royal entertainment venue built by the third generation of Emperor Zhou of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It was later transformed and gradually became the venue for major events such as the Xiayuan Conference.

Anheyuan is very large, half the size of the Imperial Palace, and is equivalent to the area of ​​Prince Tianwu's Mansion.

Peace Garden, which was originally listed as a restricted area for civilians, was now bustling with people, with people everywhere coming to watch the civil and military competitions.

After the martial arts test and the literary test, the Xiayuan Conference lasted for a month. Now that a week has passed, the literary test has passed halfway, and the final competition that will become famous all over the world has begun.

Whether it is a literary test or a martial arts test, only the top 100 people in the civil and military examinations can be posted on the imperial list. Once among the top 100, the major media organizations will send the list to all parts of the human world. It can be said that you will become famous all over the world in one fell swoop.

Know.

Lin Ran's fairy soul looked down at the ongoing literary test. The questions for all aspects of the literary test were discussed and decided in that morning meeting.

There is no way to cheat on the topic, which is decided by civil and military officials. However, the literary test is a highly subjective assessment, and it is too easy for the examiner to want a candidate to lose his ranking.

Wei Yi naturally didn't have much room to resist when faced with the examiner's difficulties, unless...

His literary talent can surpass all candidates for the literary test, and everyone who sees his articles will rank him first in their hearts.

This is his only chance.

Even if the gap between him and the second place is not big, there will be no problem if the examiner suppresses him. Even if Lin Ran comes forward, it is difficult to say anything in a reasonable situation.

In the final analysis, it is still up to Wei Yi to strive for success.

If Wei Yi couldn't even defeat the candidates from these aristocratic families, he would have no value in attracting Lin Ran's attention.

What we need on the road to burial are companions.

Useless people, mediocre people, and even ordinary geniuses are not qualified to be fellow travelers.

Immortal Soul looked at Wei Yi who was standing in front of the stage writing furiously.

This is a fork in the road of destiny, it depends on whether you are qualified to break free from the prison.

Everyone wants to break free from the prison they are in, but hoping for help from others is only a small way, and self-reliance is the right way.

If Wei Yi is good enough, Lin Ran wouldn't mind putting him on the same level as others. But if he's not that good, then there's nothing much to say.

Look at the two figures in the audience.

"Who is Brother Chen optimistic about?" Yang Nan looked at the one hundred candidates on the stage from a distance and asked Chen Jian beside him.

[A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I have known for ten years, Yeguo Reading! It is so easy to use. I rely on this app to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here www. 】

There is a silencing array on the stage. Even if the audience breaks their throats by shouting, the candidates on the stage will not hear any abnormal sound.

This also created a wonderful scene where the stage was completely silent and the audience was as noisy as a vegetable market.

Thanks to Chen Jian's reputation as "Martial Arts Heavenly Eye, Young Martial Saint", no one came close to Yang Nan and Chen Jian.

Chen Jian is the high-profile candidate who won the first place in this martial arts test. He has a martial arts heavenly eye that has not appeared in ten thousand years, and the posture of a martial saint. At the age of only sixteen, he has already shown the invincible momentum to suppress the contemporary era. Even though he comes from Zhenbeiguan, he is far away from the emperor.

Even in the city's borders, no one would look down upon him because of his birth.

Yang Nan beside Chen Jian seemed a little inconspicuous, but if you inquired a little, you wouldn't underestimate this person.

Beginner disciple of Qijue Immortal Palace!

Even though Yang Nan is only at the early stage of Golden Core cultivation, no one will look down upon him. His status as an entry-level disciple of Qijue Immortal Palace is comparable to that of a direct descendant of a noble family.

Among the countless ancient Taoist traditions in the human world, only the Qijue Immortal Palace resides in the Imperial City, while the other Taoist traditions are scattered throughout the Great Zhou in various parts of the human world.

Originally, the Tiandi Wenggong was the only ancient Taoist temple in the imperial city, but unfortunately it offended King Tianwu, and the Tiandi Wenggong in the imperial city was turned into rubble.

The boundaries of the domain.

Qijue Immortal Palace has been very low-key since it re-established the Immortal Dao Tradition, but no matter how low-key it is, it cannot conceal its status as the only Dao Tradition in the Imperial City.

Yang Nan, an introductory disciple of Qijue Immortal Palace, is enough to make most candidates want to make friends.

But it's a pity that neither Yang Nan nor Chen Jian paid much attention to the candidates who came to make friends. As time went by, no one came to warm their faces and show their cold butts.

The two of them were also happy and peaceful.

"I don't understand literature." Chen Jian said casually.

"The topic of governing the country has been around for so many years. What novel answer can I come up with?" Yang Nan shook his head. "The real problem in the Great Zhou Dynasty is the deep-rooted family clans and the literary clans headed by the Zhu Sheng lineage. Everyone knows these problems

, but do these candidates dare to write?"

Since Yang Nan joined the Qijue Immortal Palace, he has become more courageous.

Everyone in the human world knows that Qijue Immortal Palace and Tiandi Wenggong cannot deal with each other. The disciples of Qijue Immortal Palace have no respect for Tiandi Wenggong, the first sect in the human world, and can even be said to ridicule them when they think of it.

As time passed, Yang Nan was also affected.

Well, the main reason is that Tiandiwengong is so disgusting.

"Brother Yang has such an opinion, why don't you take the literary test?" Chen Jian asked.

"I also want to participate, but I don't know anything about the Four Books and Five Classics of Wen Dao. These are basic tests. I couldn't pass the previous tests, so why would I come to this fourth test?" Yang Nan said helplessly.

He was overwhelmed by the basic knowledge, and it was simply torture.

Besides, if he doesn't have the time to read these literary and Taoist classics, he might as well refine his spiritual power and strive to achieve Yuanying as soon as possible.

He, a Nine-Yao Golden Pill, stands out among this group of martial arts test candidates who are equivalent to Yuanying Perfection.

The most outrageous thing is that the maids he brings are better than him!

"There are still two final trials, right?" Chen Jian said.

"Well, counting this fourth test, the results and rankings will be announced after all the last three tests are completed. It's nothing interesting. Even if King Tianwu breaks the rule set by the Holy Sun that the children of concubines cannot participate in the double test, he still won't

Change the situation where the literary examination is dominated by aristocratic families and the Zhu Sheng lineage." Yang Nan shook his head and said.

"Aren't Zhu Sheng's lineage afraid of causing resistance from the poor people in the world by doing this?" Chen Jian asked doubtfully.

"Don't be afraid. Because scholars from Zhu Sheng's lineage account for more than 70% of the world's literary monks. Confucian scholars from aristocratic families have been studying in the schools of Tiandi Literary Palace since they were young. They have been Confucian scholars from Zhu Sheng's lineage since they came into contact with literature and Dao.

If a child from a poor family wants to get ahead, he can only join the Zhusheng lineage, otherwise he will either not be reused or suffer suppression from the Zhusheng lineage."

"In a sense, literary education can be said to be monopolized by Zhu Sheng's lineage. This academic clan in the human world is even more terrifying than the ordinary world's big families." Yang Nan shook his head and sighed.

"The general trend of literature has been established. Even if everyone in the world knows the dangers of the Zhusheng lineage, it will not help. Moreover, I heard from the seniors of the Immortal Palace that the Tiandi Wenggong has a heavenly background, which further enhances people's understanding of the Tiandi Wenggong.

Therefore, the Heaven and Earth Wen Palace became even more unscrupulous."
