Chapter 233: Palace examination and martial arts test, appointed by the emperor

After walking down Shanyu Peak, Chu Linguang rode a little red horse to Eunuch Liu's house.

The palace examination will be held in three days.

He and Guo Wei agreed to return to Eunuch Liu's house to wait after the training at Shanyu Peak.

He has been busy practicing this month.

Guo Wei then traveled day and night to redeem people at Langgu Pass.

Langgu Pass is located in Shiwanda Mountain, within the North Territory. Calculated based on the distance, even if the court used a falcon to deliver the documents to Langgu Pass on the day the pardon was issued, Guo Xiaotian would be released immediately after receiving the news. Guo Wei would come and go again. , it will also take a month.

When Chu Linguang came to the Liu Mansion, he told Eunuch Liu who was ill at home and was training Xuanyuan Jinkang. Chu Linguang led the little red horse to the stable.

"Red Boy."

He saw a familiar figure.

It was Guo Wei's horse Red Boy.

Red Boy is in Liu's stable, which means Guo Wei has arrived in the imperial city.

"Master!"

Chu Linguang ran towards the inner courtyard of Liu Mansion.

"call!"

Guo Wei, who was practicing the Flying Leaf Lotus Spear in the inner courtyard, paused. Next to him stood a young man with handicapped legs. This person was none other than Guo Xiaotian.

The conditions inside Langgu Pass were harsh. Guo Xiaotian was naked and had to work every day. If he hadn't known how to breathe, he would have died in Langgu Pass.

The root of the disease fell on both feet, and I walked with a limp.

After this period of recuperation, he regained some of his complexion.

"Master."

Chu Linguang released his spiritual consciousness and suddenly captured Guo Wei's aura fluctuations. The master and apprentice met in the inner courtyard of the Liu Mansion.

"Lin Guang, you are back."

Guo Wei threw the spear back to the landing platform, and before Chu Linguang knelt down, he supported his body first and said to Guo Xiaotian: "Xiaotian, this is the junior brother Chu Linguang I talked to you about all the way. He saved you. Kneel down to him quickly.”

"boom!"

Guo Xiaotian knelt down in front of him.

"Little senior brother."

Chu Linguang wanted to hold him, but Guo Wei stopped him.

"Little Junior Brother, I can see the light of day again only because of this. In the future, as long as you don't despise my crippled body, no matter what happens, I, Guo Xiaotian, will do whatever it takes, whether it's a mountain of swords or a sea of ​​fire!"

"Bang bang bang bang!"

……

After Guo Xiaotian finished speaking, he kowtowed to Chu Linguang continuously.

He knew that what Chu Linguang did was to repay his teacher's kindness, but regardless of the friendship between Guo Wei and Chu Linguang, it was an indisputable fact that Chu Linguang saved him, and he owed Chu Linguang a debt!

"Little brother, get up quickly."

Chu Linguang hurriedly helped Guo Xiaotian up.

A line of words also appeared in front of my eyes.

(Help Guo Xiaotian escape from Langgu Pass and gain 32199 favor points.)

"Senior Brother Guo, we are brothers from the same sect. We are not brothers more than real brothers. If you want to thank me, there is no need to say it again in the future."

Seeing the favor value, Chu Linguang knew that Guo Xiaotian was also a kind and righteous person, otherwise he would not have risked his life to teach Xie Xiaohuan the day and night breathing method.

"Ah."

Guo Xiaotian nodded heavily. He did not dwell on this matter. Repayment needs to be proven by actions. If you promise too much in words, it will make people think you are joking.

"Little junior brother."

At this time, a familiar voice came from behind.

"Sister."

Chu Linguang's face was full of surprise. The person behind him turned out to be Guo Fang.

But when I think about Guo Xiaotian finally being released, and the sister and brother separated in these years, Guo Fang will definitely accompany them all the way, and can take care of them on the way.

For this reason, Chu Linguang said apologetically: "Master, I didn't think so much before. Senior Brother Guo finally came out. You and your family should be reunited in Baiyang County. I should not let you bring Junior Brother to the Imperial City." Watch me take part in the imperial examination, you all have been so tiring for me..."

"Junior brother, what are you talking about? The three major events in life are to be named on the gold medal list, to have flowers and candles in the bridal chamber, and to have children. Now that you are about to become a Jinshi, how could the three of us not come? If it weren't for your aunt and her family. With your martial arts skills, I’m afraid they won’t be able to bear the long journey, and they also want to come to the Imperial City with us to see you.”

Guo Fang interrupted.

"Then I must pass the martial arts examination and not let you down, senior sisters. By the way, are my second aunt and the others okay?"

Speaking of Zhang Chu, Chu Linguang hadn't seen her for half a year, and he was thinking strangely.

"It's very good. Ever since Linghua married Heihu, Mr. Hei has been going to your Liujiagou every now and then. After you passed the Wugongshi exam, Mr. Xu even built a big house for you in Liujiagou. Now you The second aunt is already from a wealthy family, and there is nothing lacking in the family. Your two cousins ​​will also take the literary test in a while, and Mr. Liu said that they have a high chance of passing the exam."

As she spoke, Guo Fang took out a letter from her arms and handed it to Chu Linguang, saying: "This is a letter from your second aunt. The content is written by your two cousins. You can open it and read it later. I will go to the kitchen to work." , I’ll fry you some of your favorite side dishes.”

"Okay, thank you, senior sister."

Chu Linguang discovered that Guo Fang had just come back from outside. There were two vegetable baskets outside the yard, all of which were his favorite vegetables.

Obviously, Guo Fang personally went to the market to purchase those dishes. You must know that the Liu family has no shortage of anything. There are all the cooks, maids, and guards. The chefs in the Liu family are also very good at cooking. Every meal is delicious, and Guo Fang cooks it personally. Chef, mainly because I want him to eat some hometown dishes.

This is also an indirect way of thanking him for helping Guo Xiaotian see the light of day again.

Chu Linguang was very moved.

He opened the envelope and found that the content of the letter was similar to what Guo Fang said. There were many greetings. Zhang Chu hoped that he would return to his hometown as the top student in high school and reunite with his family as soon as possible. He also told some of the ridiculous things that had happened in Liujiagou in the past six months. I told Chu Linguang everything.

The letter mentioned that Li Yishan gave birth to a fat son.

Butcher Hu was not as good as before, so he transferred his butcher shop to someone else and opened a relatively quiet grain and oil shop in Liquor Street.

And Uncle Tie at the entrance of the village. After being exempted from taxes and getting in touch with him, he has ushered in his second spring. He just held a banquet with Widow Liu last month.

and many more.

Finally, Mrs. Zhang Chu hoped that after Chu Linguang was named on the gold list, he could start a family as soon as possible and continue the blood line of the Chu family. He specifically explained that many big families came to his door.

"I was a bachelor in my previous life, but no matter what, I have to experience the feeling of marrying a wife and having children in this life."

Chu Linguang does not resist marriage.

On the contrary, watching Heihu and Zhang Linghua get married and start a business, Chu Linguang sometimes thought about when he would get married and have children.

Not long after he traveled back in time, Zhang Chu tried to match Chun Ju with him. Unfortunately, he sold his land and went to a martial arts school to learn martial arts. After the news leaked, Chun Ju's family sent the betrothal gift back overnight.

If he had not sold the land and married Chun Ju honestly, he might have had a son and a daughter now, but life would have been very difficult. No accident, with the help of Zhang Da, he would have gone to work in Uncle Heihu's tile factory, and Chun Ju would have followed. The second aunt helps the wealthy family with laundry and cooking, earning some hard money.

Chu Linguang couldn't decide which one would be happier, him and Chunju, who had started a family and started a business, or himself now. He only knew that after making a choice, no matter which path he took, he had to go on.

Soon, Guo Fang prepared a table of food and wine.

Chu Linguang, Guo Wei, Eunuch Liu and even Xuanyuan Jinkang sat around the table.

During the dinner, Guo Wei briefly asked Chu Linguang about what happened on Shanyu Peak. He was also curious about such a strong person in Yuanchu Mountain.

But Guo Wei didn't mention a word about Chu Linguang's training at Shanyu Peak. He knew that it was taboo, and if he asked about it, it would only embarrass Chu Linguang.

But Xuanyuan Jinkang didn't care about that. When he saw Chu Linguang going further and further, he was going to become a Jinshi. He was filled with jealousy and hatred. After two glasses of wine, he took the initiative to ask: "Chu Linguang, this powerful man from Yueyuanchu Mountain" What did they teach you? Is what they taught you as powerful as my master's Mianrou Gong? I have now mastered 50% of Mianrou Gong, do we want to try some tricks?"

"I learned a set of mental techniques in the mountains, called Da Cang Mental Technique. The teacher at Yuanchu Mountain said that after mastering this mental technique, no matter what Kung Fu martial arts you practice, you can get twice the result with half the effort."

Chu Linguang explained.

According to the regulations, as long as the training content of the Da Cang Heart Method is not revealed, there will be no problem, so Chu Linguang has no psychological burden from saying this.

"A mental method can defy the heavens. Master, do you know the Great Blue Heart Method?"

Xuanyuan Jinkang was a little disdainful.

"I know. I saw it in the palace and put it in the arsenal. This is one of the most advanced mental techniques in the world."

Eunuch Liu nodded.

"My father-in-law has actually seen it?"

Chu Linguang was unexpected. "Our family has been in the palace for many years and has seen many good things. However, our family only glanced at martial arts secrets such as Da Cang's Heart Technique by chance."

Eunuch Liu explained.

Obviously, what he said he had seen was just the cover of the Da Cang Heart Method, and he had never seen the content of the practice.

"Have you learned everything?"

Xuanyuan Jinkang continued to ask.

"No, this mental method is unpredictable and difficult to learn. However, Qin Yu and Brother Yan both successfully entered the True Martial Realm some time ago because of this mental method.

Chu Linguang shook his head.

"What, then aren't they?"

Xuanyuan Jinkang felt like there was a stone pressing on his chest. The word "True Martial Realm" was still a bit far away for him.

"If nothing happens, Brother Yan will become the top martial arts champion in this session."

Chu Linguang added.

"Yan Zhen is extremely talented. His sword power has reached the second level. He is also the direct disciple of Commander Wei. Now he has entered the true martial arts realm. It would not be surprising if he wins the first place in martial arts."

Eunuch Liu sighed.

"This boy has a tenacious martial arts heart and dares to challenge everything. Maybe in a few years, even our two old guys will not be his opponents."

Guo Wei echoed.

"You forgot, Lin Guanggang said that they have all practiced the Da Cang Heart Technique, and their cultivation progress will be doubled with half the effort. It may not take a few years, but it can be as short as a few months or as long as a year or two. We may not be their match."

Eunuch Liu laughed at himself.

"Well, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. The young people of this generation are too scary."

Guo Wei nodded noncommittally.

In just a few years, he witnessed with his own eyes how Chu Linguang grew from a common man to what he is today. Except that the progress was slow at the beginning, it can only be described as rapid progress.

Until now, he couldn't believe that he, Guo Wei, could teach a class of Jinshi.

"They have all broken through. When can you break through?"

Xuanyuan Jinkang didn't care how perverted Yan Zhen and Qin Yu were now, he just wanted to know how far away he was from Chu Linguang.

"I don't know, maybe soon, maybe it will take a long time."

Chu Linguang shook his head.

"If you break through the Qi Sea and enter the True Martial Realm before the palace examination, Yan Zhen may not get the top prize in martial arts."

Xuanyuan Jinkang stimulated.

"It would be best if we could compete with Brother Yan for the top spot in martial arts at the palace examination, but..."

If given the chance, Chu Linguang would of course also want to become the top scholar in martial arts.

However, those forty-six responses, although once awakened, can awaken terrifying power, they themselves are like a huge shackles, preventing Chu Linguang from taking that step easily, resulting in a distance between him and the true martial arts realm. .

This kind of thing cannot be rushed, Chu Linguang can only take it one step at a time.

"Do your best."

Guo Wei answered.

"Well, I'll try my best."

Chu Linguang nodded.

That night.

Chu Linguang was in the room, checking the panel information.

Favor: 32199

Hunyuan Gong (0-10000)

Da Cang Xin Dharma (26425-120000)

(Remaining life span 191 years)

Chu Linguang did not hesitate and used all the favor values ​​gained from Guo Xiaotian on the Da Cang Heart Technique.

The panel information changes.

Favor: None

Hunyuan Gong (0-10000)

Da Cang Xin Dharma (58624-120000)

(Remaining life span 191 years)

As the value increased, Chu Linguang immediately sensed Da Cang's mind and captured the special changes on his body. He focused on the forty-six responses and tried to wake them up.

Time flies.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

Although Chu Linguang did not neglect his training, for three consecutive days, except for grasping the tacit connection point, he was still unable to awaken the forty-six responses.

And today is the beginning of the imperial examination.

He and a group of candidates came to Yushouyuan.

The Royal Beast Circle is behind the palace. The place is heavily guarded. Even the princes and nobles cannot easily enter, and Guo Wei and others cannot watch from the sidelines.

Today, there was only a group of candidates who walked into the Beast Control Circle under the leadership of the imperial guards and related personnel.

Palace examination.

He was tested in the sight of the emperor.

There is only one day.

The rules are changing every session, and the emperor attaches great importance to the results of each candidate and does not tolerate any adulteration.

The moment they stepped into the Beast Control Circle, Chu Linguang, Yan Zhen and others felt special waves emanating from the surroundings.

These fluctuations are not aggressive.

It was like spiritual consciousness swept over his body.

But Chu Linguang, Yan Zhen and others all know that these fluctuations are not that simple, especially Chu Linguang. Under the influence of the powerful sea of ​​consciousness, he even feels that those gentle fluctuations can change from a docile lamb to a man-eating one in an instant. tiger.

Those fluctuations are like natural defenses, preventing anyone from misbehaving in the Beast Control Circle. Once triggered, they will be torn to pieces by those fluctuations.

"kneel!"

The Yuzhu circle is very big.

There is a towering golden palace in the distance.

There were imperial guards guarding it, and the princes and ministers stood on the steps one after another. Above the hall, there were several figures whose faces were unclear.

Kneel down.

Have all candidates kneel down toward the hall at the same time.

They all shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor."

Everyone put their heads on the ground. Even Yan Zhen and Qin Yu did not dare to look up at the stage, trying to see clearly the faces on it.

Although they have all found their own martial arts aspirations, they will not easily provoke each other in front of a powerful ruler. They have even been instilled with the idea of ​​loyalty and patriotism since childhood, and they all have awe of the ruler.

As a time traveler, Chu Linguang has advanced thoughts and does not have much sense of belonging to Dayuan. However, under the harsh system and in the face of powerful force, he can only remain well-behaved like everyone else.

As for whether he should overthrow the Yuan Dynasty and formulate his own dynasty when he becomes stronger in the future, Chu Linguang would not even think about it now.

He was outstanding in his heart-keeping skills, so he just wanted to get things done right now and take the martial arts exam first to go home.

"All the talents in the world are among the candidates. I hope you can have the world in mind, aspire high, constantly pursue excellence, and contribute to the prosperity of the country."

"I announce that the palace examination and martial arts examination will begin now!"

At this time, a rather loud voice came from the palace platform.

Chu Linguang and others were all shocked. The voice was not only loud, but also carried a powerful pressure. It was as if just one drink could knock everyone out of their minds. It was obvious that Emperor Dayuan was the only one in the world. A strong martial artist.
