Qin and Mo were all ready. Under the leadership of Hai Dafu, they took the green bus rented by the school and drove all the way to the Zhuangyuan Hall without any hindrance. On the way, there were special police cars clearing the way to escort them.

The country attaches great importance to students who take the college entrance examination.

Especially the literary masters who participated in the palace examination were as valuable as giant pandas.

Once I passed the college entrance examination, I was completely different.

The Zhuangyuan Hall is located in the Dongcheng District of Jincheng. Everyone took the bus from Anyang Middle School and meandered along the sparkling moat, passing by the delicate green Jincheng River with hanging willow branches. The breeze blew softly through the windows, making Qin Mo

A sudden hallucination of going out for an outing.

The soft cry was accompanied by the ripples. In the middle of the river, a pair of graceful and elegant black swans spread their wings under the gaze of everyone. They both jumped from the water, as if they could transform into more noble ones after jumping over the dragon gate.

Phoenix.

After driving past the observation tower, a famous scenic spot in Jincheng, an ancient red palace building came into view, classical and solemn.

arrive.

The three gilded characters in Zhuangyuan Palace can be seen from a long distance under the refraction of light. They don't even need to identify them. Everyone has arrived at the destination of this palace examination.

At this special time, this ancient temple building has even more sacred meaning.

Qin Mo's eyes also lit up.

Even though he had visited many ancient palaces and city wall buildings in his previous life, Qin Mo's heart still beat uncontrollably when he saw the Zhuangyuan Palace.

Zhuangyuan Hall can be called the holy place of literature in Jincheng.

The tall courtyard wall outside the Zhuangyuan Hall is now covered with police officers. Visitors can only stand outside the wall and cannot cross the thunder pool even half a step.

Under strict guarding, the green bus drove in unobstructed and directly from the main entrance.

"Mom, I am a candidate for the imperial examination."

"Jia'er will also take part in the imperial examination in the future, okay?"

"Um!"

When they were about to enter the inner wall, Qin Mo and others saw through the glass windows the envious and longing eyes of young people and their parents who constantly encouraged them.

Every year during the palace examination, in addition to the civil and martial arts masters, many parents would bring their young children outside the Zhuangyuan Palace, just to be exposed to the talents of the Zhuangyuan Palace and witness the birth of the number one scholar in the palace examination.

Judging from the current social status, literary masters are higher than martial arts masters.

However, this high level is simply based on the relatively small number of writers and the scarcity of things.

A powerful martial artist is no less respected than a literary master.

squeak

The bus stopped with a gentle braking sound, the driver opened the door, and Hai Dafu led the nine people out.

The outer wall of Zhuangyuan Hall is very tall, more than fifteen meters high. Even if everyone has entered, they still feel very small.

As for those candidates who have never seen the world, they are even more amazed.

But at this time, no one would utter an exclamation. Even if they were really amazed, they would suppress the shock in their hearts, otherwise they would appear to be too inexperienced.

Good face, young man.

After Hai Dafu got off the car, he contacted the personnel who arranged the palace examination. After a while, Hai Dafu turned back with a happy face: "The formalities for entering the palace have been completed. Later, the nine of you can go in with the palace examination staff.

.”

"Remember, guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and stay calm."

After Hai Dafu gave everyone his final instructions, he was asked out by the staff.

Except for candidates, everyone can only go out and wait.

Of course, the people outside are not just waiting around without a clue. When the palace examination begins, the Zhuangyuan Palace will send a talented writer to excerpt the poems and articles and send them out for everyone to admire.

This process is always the most exciting moment for the spectators outside the Zhuangyuan Hall.

In the square outside the Zhuangyuan Hall, more and more people gathered. At this moment, in the crowd, a young man with a flat head sat and squeezed around, finally squeezing to a front position.

Zhang Wei wiped the sweat from his head. Before he could sigh about the difficulty of getting in, his eyes lit up and he said in surprise to the short-haired young man not far away: "Hey, Lao Hong, are you here too?"

"Come to see the Qin Mo Palace Examination?"

When Hong Meng heard the whisper lingering in his ears, the hairs all over his body stood up immediately. He turned his head with difficulty like a machine and saw Zhang Wei with a surprised look on his face.

"Stop!"

"leave me alone."

"Kill you!"

The smile on Zhang Wei's face was instantly extinguished by Hong Meng's cold murderous aura, and his heart was filled with chills. He was stunned in place with a puzzled and aggrieved look on his face: "What's wrong?"

I used to call him Lao Zhang affectionately, but now he wants to beat me to death.

You can't change your face so quickly, right?

You are very strange.

I have saved you several times before. If it weren't for me, you might have been beaten by the patrol team. I helped you calm down several times.

Why did you do this to me? It hurts so much.

…

…

"Let's go, classmates from Anyang Middle School, just follow me, don't fall behind."

interior wall.

Without giving everyone much time to marvel at the grandeur of the Zhuangyuan Hall, a young man wearing a black robe with red lines came over to guide everyone.

Qin Mo quickly withdrew his gaze and followed the young man with Lin Youyin.

Walking further inside, there is a tall wooden door with a vermilion paint surface. Golden beads are inlaid on the surface. The lintel is also exquisite. The ends of each beam are carved with auspicious beasts.

Colorful clouds.

"It's so impressive." A fellow student held it in for a long time and finally couldn't bear it anymore.

The others nodded in sympathy.

Even Qin Mo had a different feeling at this moment, as if they had really become the talented and beautiful women who entered the ancient palace to be interviewed by the emperor in ancient times.

Dispersing the thoughts in his mind, he came to the palace examination today, and his instinct told him that today's palace examination would not be that easy.

Everyone stepped across the threshold, and a road paved with red floor tiles led into the distance.

Under the leadership of the staff, the nine people finally arrived at the inner hall.

The oppressive feeling caused by the tall city walls dissipated instantly, and Qin Mo began to observe the inner hall. The spacious hall was now filled with tables and chairs, with pens and papers placed on them, and there were fruit plates and snacks next to them to satisfy his hunger.

At this moment, candidates are already sitting on many tables and chairs.

They knew each other well and chatted quietly while eating fruit.

Be obedient.

At a glance, Qin Mo could see that there were no less than ten people with talents that were exposed.

Today's imperial examination doesn't seem that easy.

However, major martial arts schools all have fixed ratings for admission to the palace examination, and there is no ranking competition, which is a good thing.

If you meet the rating, you will be considered a talented person and you will be admitted.

If you can't pass the line, brush it all off, never lower the standard, and would rather be deficient than excessive.

While Qin Mo was sizing up everyone in the inner hall, they were also watching this group of new competitors with vigilance. Their targets were mainly placed on Qin Mo, Lin Youyin, and Zhuo Fan, three talented people.

There are only eleven high schools in Jincheng, and excluding the schools at the bottom that have no candidates for the liberal arts examination, there are a total of eight schools that send candidates to take the imperial examination.

Altogether, there are 95 palace examination candidates.

Anyang Middle School did not have the largest number of liberal arts candidates taking the imperial examination, but three talented candidates suddenly showed up, instantly becoming the focus of everyone in the palace's vigilance.

"First find your own seats and sit down, eat some fruits and snacks, and when the time for the palace examination comes, the city lord and the master of the clerical palace will preside over the examination." The staff of the palace examination took Qin Mo and the others into the inner hall and turned around to leave.

Qin Mo, Lin Youyin and others came to their area. The seats in the inner hall seemed to have been carefully arranged, so that people from each school were surrounded by candidates from other schools, and the people from their own school were completely separated.

Qin Mo noticed something was wrong before he even sat down. Everyone in the inner hall, including the ten pairs of talented candidates, were all staring in the direction of his seat, openly or covertly, with no good intentions.

Qin Mo frowned secretly and asked himself doubts in his heart.

Am I becoming a public enemy?

I didn't offend you?

baffling.

When he saw the plastic sign with his name on the seat, Qin Mo understood the reason.

There are only a few dozen candidates for the imperial examination. How could they not know the competitors in advance? It is estimated that their position has already been remembered by this group of candidates who arrived early.

Having experienced the deeds of "Book of Songs", "Junzi Ambition", and half a quatrain, even if his name is deliberately kept low-key, I am afraid that it cannot be easily hidden from the eyes of these opponents who regard him as a formidable enemy.

Since there was no way to keep a low profile, Qin Mo didn't need to be cautious and could just sit down openly.

Pick a ripe grape from the fruit plate and put it into your mouth, letting the sweet and juicy pulp melt in your mouth. Your lips and teeth will be fragrant for a while, waiting for the palace test.

Time passed slowly and clearly. When Qin Mo and the others first came in, there were still people talking and whispering to each other in the hall.

The closer to the palace examination, the quieter the hall becomes.

squeak

At nine o'clock, the inner door of the hall opened, and a group of people wearing red and black robes came out.

Qin Mo quickly spit out the grape skins in his mouth, sat upright, and focused his eyes on the examiner who came in.

The youngest among them is at least one round older than Qin Mo and the others. In the middle of their robes, the words "clerical palace" are clearly written on their belts.

Talent is flowing and swirling in everyone's body.

Among them, the middle-aged man in red robes at the front has talents around his body flowing upstream from below, hanging steadily high above his head.

Top talents!

Qin Mo felt his heart beat faster and became nervous. This was the first time he saw a talented literary master.

The most talented middle-aged man there is a martial artist wearing a black shorts and shorts. Although he is not very talented, his whole person is like a moving mass of blood, which is eye-catching.
