The Baiyue Tower is eight stories high, located on a green river. It is shaped like an octagonal pagoda. It is made of sapphire as bricks and red stone as tiles. An auspicious beast is carved on the corner of each floor, with a vivid figure.

.

"Brother Mazi, this Baiyue Tower looks very simple. It is not as luxurious as the Wutong Tower. How come it is named so much bigger than the Wutong Tower?"

Xiao Yueming stood downstairs from Bai Yue and asked Er Mazi beside him.

It was noon at this time, and the two of them came here after tasting the delicious red dragon chicken.

Er Mazi pointed to the Baiyue Tower located on the river and said: "Master Xiao doesn't know that the White Moon Tower is indeed not as gorgeous as the Wutong Tower, but it is said that the White Moon Tower was built by the great master of the previous dynasty after persuading the late Emperor.

At that time, there was a locust plague that had not happened in a century in Xianzhou. The locusts in the sky ate a lot of farmers' food, causing countless people to starve to death. The great master of the country, observing the sky at night, ordered the construction of the White Moon Tower on the Lanjiang River, saying

This is where the dragon veins are."

"Since the White Moon Tower was built, the locust plague in Xianzhou has never happened again. I heard about it through hearsay, and I don't know how many of it are true or false."

Er Mazi led Xiao Yueming toward the crowd, and heard the sound of bells ringing in his ears. As he gradually approached, two long teams lined up under Bai Yue Downstairs. There were many red-armored soldiers around to maintain order.

, just in case someone takes the opportunity to cause trouble.

The two teams have very different styles. The one on the left is mostly dressed as scholars, of varying ages, and there are also some young men in rich clothes, holding folding fans and with unruly expressions. They must be disciples of some wealthy families.

The people in the row on the right are dressed in the same uniform as those of Jianghu, and everyone is wearing either a sword or a sword. One of them is a big man who is very exaggerated. He carries eighteen kinds of weapons on his back, including swords, guns and sticks, and he looks very handsome.

To bluff people.

Xiao Yueming couldn't help but marveled at the scene in front of him. When Er Mazi saw this, he explained aloud: "Master Xiao, it's a coincidence that we came here today. We caught up with the annual White Moon Meeting. The test on the left

It's music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, poetry, and poetry. There are special big shots as examiners. Only those who pass the test are qualified to sit on the White Moon Tower."

Then Er Mazi said excitedly: "If you can be noticed by these adults, you will reach the sky in one step. Think of Liu Xiucai from Liujia Village, who is usually just

He was helping people write letters and couplets, and he had no spare money to go to the imperial city to take scientific examinations. He also had a seriously ill old woman at home who needed to be taken care of. Who would have thought that just the year before last, Liu Xiucai had written his own poems in Baiyue Tower,

To actually be appreciated by a big shot, that’s incredible, you can become the county magistrate directly.”

When Er Mazi said this, his eyes were full of envy without concealing it.

The surroundings were quite lively, and there were constant voices of conversation. Xiao Yueming patted Er Mazi on the shoulder and pointed to another row full of warriors:

"Is that the team that tests the warriors' strength over there?"

Scratching his head, Er Mazi said in a somewhat uncertain tone: "It should be. In fact, I have never been here, and even if I came, I would not have the ability to go upstairs. These rumors were all told by the diners when I was a waiter, but here

I heard that the team seems to be testing some kind of artistic conception. I don’t understand this either. Mr. Xiao is very good at martial arts. I believe he can climb the building."

"Cultivation of artistic conception?" Xiao Yueming rubbed her lips gently with her index finger, thinking to herself, "According to what Er Mazi said, this Baiyue Meeting is a good opportunity to make a name for myself. I have been traveling in the world for almost two months, but...

I haven't encountered any opportunities to become famous. This Baiyue County is a large county in Xianzhou, so I can't miss the opportunity. I must seize it firmly this time, so as not to insult Sister Mu Yin's reputation.

With this thought in mind, Xiao Yueming glanced at the team that was testing the artistic conception. Xiao Yueming couldn't help but think of the red jade medal given to Xu Heng, and a plan grew in his heart.

Passing over Er Mazi beside him, Xiao Yueming walked directly towards the team on the left. Er Mazi looked stunned, and quickly stood up to follow. At the end of the line, Er Mazi grabbed Xiao Yueming's arm and said: "Master Xiao, you are testing martial arts."

The team is on the other side, this is where the literati are."

"I know"

Xiao Yueming crossed his arms and stood at the end of the queue, speaking calmly.

Er Mazi had a grimace on his face, wondering if Mr. Xiao still had a good study of these poems and songs. Without thinking about it, Er Mazi was extremely excited now, "Who are those people who can go to Bai Yue Tower? They are all big shots. They miss me."

Er Mazi is also where he is today, but it's all thanks to Young Master Xiao."

Thinking of this, Er Mazi couldn't help but be more respectful to Xiao Yueming.

Upstairs in Baiyue, just as everyone is working hard

When he was showing off his talent in martial arts, hoping to be appreciated by big shots and become famous, a handsome man in his twenties and an old servant were standing upstairs looking at everyone.

The man is dressed in a robe embroidered with landscapes, a purple gold crown on his head, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes. He is very handsome, and his whole body exudes a strong sense of oppression from a superior.

After observing for a while, the man slowly turned around. Seeing this, the old servant in blue quickly bowed his head and waited for instructions.

"Mr. Xian, follow me downstairs."

"Yes, Mr. Six."

After the Sixth Young Master finished speaking, he turned around and walked downstairs, with an old servant named Mr. Xian following closely behind him.

On the stone steps downstairs, the Sixth Young Master stood with one hand on his back, looked at the huge crowd in front of him, and murmured to himself: "The battle for talents, the battle for talents. Last time, the second brother of Bai Yuehui took away a top

The second-rate masters have become a bit stronger. This time, I personally take action and must recruit some truly talented people."

Xian Lao stood behind the Sixth Young Master, with a slight bow and a slightly shrill voice: "If the Sixth Young Master takes action, he will succeed immediately."

Shaking his head slightly, the Sixth Young Master sighed secretly: "Second brother has been preparing for many years, and we must speed up the development of our wings. The winner is king, and the loser is certain to die. Mr. Xian, let's go."

The team moved very quickly, and soon it was Xiao Yueming's turn. The examiner in official attire looked at Xiao Yueming and asked: "What subjects do you want to test? Just get the wooden sign yourself."

There was a row of wooden stands beside the examiner, on which were hung six types of wooden plaques: piano, chess, books, paintings, poems, and songs. Xiao Yueming thought for a moment and picked up the wooden plaque engraved with paintings.

Nodding, the examiner pointed expressionlessly to the back, where there were rows of drawing boards. He walked forward and saluted the examiner who was invigilating the exam. The examiner signaled Xiao Yueming to wait for a moment, and then continued to walk among the many people who were working hard.

Among the people painting.

Not many people chose paintings as a test. After half a cup of tea, it was time for Xiao Yueming to take the stage. He walked to the examination room with everyone waiting around him. Except for Xiao Yueming, who was carrying a long sword on his back, the rest of the people were holding folding fans.
