At this time, there were already many people standing outside the Gongyuan.
The restaurants and teahouses across the long street were already filled with people waiting anxiously.
Lu Yu didn't see anyone in Jade Cauldron Academy. He thought they must have been assigned to other Gongyuan Academy.
The positions of all candidates who participate in the imperial examination are randomly arranged and will be announced seven days before the exam.
Unlike the imperial examinations in the secular world, the imperial examinations in the country of cultivation do not distinguish between civil and military examinations, that is, those who succeed must have both civil and military skills.
The first thing to be conducted was the literary test, which lasted for three days and was divided into seven subjects: classics and meaning, Taoism, martial arts, law, knowledge, discernment, and strategy.
In some cultivation countries in the Middle Ages, officials often respected the strong. Although these people were outstanding in strength, they only focused on their own practice and worked as hands-off shopkeepers. If chaos occurred, they would be suppressed by force, leading to chaos.
Those countries, said to be one country, are actually just a loose alliance. There are many princes in the country, and the orders of the central court cannot be distributed to the local areas.
During the reign of Emperor Taigan, the imperial examination rules at that time had been completely changed.
At that time, the only imperial examinations were military examinations, and candidates from various places competed in various ways to ultimately select the strongest. Although such methods were the same as those in the Middle Ages, they could only repeat the same mistakes.
Later, Emperor Taiqian added a literary test and imposed a stipulation that if one failed to pass the literary test, one would not even be qualified to enter the martial arts test.
This is a compulsory assessment for all candidate officials. If anyone does not even understand this, then he should not go to the court to be an official and enjoy the blessing of Dayu's luck.
Therefore, the imperial examination does not distinguish between civil and military examinations, but both civil and military examinations need to be assessed.
"It doesn't matter, let's just wait here." Lu Yu sat in the carriage compartment, holding his breath and concentrating.
There is a space array in this carriage, which is as large as a spacious living room. It can isolate the outside from detection, but the outside scene can be seen through the window.
At this moment, Lu Yu suddenly noticed a group of people walking not far away.
The group of people were all dressed in white, with golden crowns on their heads, and were of extraordinary appearance.
As soon as they took action, the noisy surroundings immediately became much quieter, and all eyes turned to them.
Among this group of people, there was a man at the head, probably in his early twenties, with a very handsome face, like a handsome young man who had stepped out of a painting.
Although the people behind him wore the same clothes as the man, they always followed the man when walking, showing their superiority.
"This man is actually a physical practitioner!"
Lu Yu's eyes could tell at a glance what technique this person was practicing.
Although the heaven is huge, the vast majority of people practice Taoism, and very few people practice physical training.
The progress of body refining is not very fast, and since the great chaos in the Middle Ages, the body refining techniques between heaven and earth have become much incomplete. If you want to obtain a complete Taoist tradition, you must go to some major sects to become apprentices. Even so, it will cost a lot of money. Years of hard work.
Therefore, the vast majority of people will choose the path of practicing Taoism.
Along the way, Lu Yu rarely met body-refining monks except for the Mu family brothers and sisters who met him before.
What shocked Lu Yu the most was that this man's eyes were filled with energy, his fierce energy was gathering and not dissipating, and his energy and blood were rising to the sky. The man's head faintly transformed into the shape of a tiger, leopard and jackal, baring his teeth and roaring angrily. .
