Chapter 243 should be the top of the four volumes!
It took more than an hour and a half to come up with a hexagram whose shape could not be distinguished. This was the first time He Gu encountered such a special situation.
Whether it was a success or a failure, he was confused for a moment.
Seeing that the deadline for the palace examination was less than three seconds, he quickly used the experience and skills he unexpectedly learned yesterday, and carefully sensed the Tianji hexagram plate with his mind and spirit.
After some careful consideration, a vague feeling of shame and apology, sadness and pity gradually returned to him.
Paradoxically, the meaning felt is always in a dynamic state of change, the meaning is ambiguous and cannot be locked at all.
But his intuition told him that this was the limit of divination!
The excessive mental energy consumption made his head hurt, he felt a little dizzy, and his face turned slightly pale for a moment.
His strangeness was quickly noticed by those who were paying attention.
The two Tianji Pavilion disciples who had no chance of winning the position in advance could not help but feel secretly happy in their hearts, while the two Imperial College disciples who had no choice but to pin their hopes on He Gu to stop him felt their hearts pounding.
The old Imperial Master was quite calm and understood that it was not easy.
Inside the curtain on the high platform, the Empress felt a trace of heartache and distress.
The last time she had this similar feeling was back when her biological sister was still alive and she was waiting outside the door to give birth to her baby.
At this moment, He Gu's figure perfectly overlapped with that of her former sister in her eyes, and she couldn't help but feel a touch in her heart.
In the corner, the cloud shadows are unclear, and the clear eyes are even more curious.
He Gu frowned.
He still couldn't make up his mind whether he felt guilty or sorry, sad or pitiful.
What's more, we only got a vague emotional description. The so-called "emperor's immediate concern" didn't even give a clue about the content and scope of the incident.
Secretly anxious, he couldn't rest assured of such rough results.
It was obvious that there was not enough time to conduct another divination, so he gritted his teeth and decisively used the fortune-predicting ability of the Tianji Stone.
At this point, he can only take another risk!
But in an instant, the air pressure became heavier, and the wind and clouds above the palace suddenly began to show signs of strange surges.
Hidden thunder is quietly brewing inside, becoming more and more abnormal.
The empress felt a sense of peeping for the first time. She suddenly raised her eyes, and her sharp eyes shot directly into the sky outside the palace with an invincible penetrating power.
Suddenly, an extremely dangerous tracking aura came back, and He Gu was suddenly startled.
There was an inexplicable strong feeling in his heart, and if he continued, he would be able to find out where his current body was.
Without hesitation, subconsciously stop in time.
In a flash, everything returned to calm, as if it had never happened.
The empress frowned slightly, her golden eyes moving slightly.
I clearly felt a sense of peeping just now, but in the blink of an eye it mysteriously disappeared without a trace.
This was the first time that she was almost undetected by someone since she carried the fate of Zhonghuangzhou Dragon Vein.
Who is it that has such great power that it can directly bypass the powerful shielding blessing of dragon vein luck and almost touch her fate?
She was puzzled.
The demon clan has become more and more active recently. Thinking of this, some emperors can't help but feel uneasy.
The old Imperial Master vaguely sensed it, and raised his head to look at the top of the main hall in confusion. For a while, he secretly sensed and distinguished carefully.
After a long time with no results, he thought it was an accidental misunderstanding, and then he looked away.
It was so late and so fast that no one else noticed anything strange.
He Gu felt an unstoppable panic in his heart, and immediately gave up the idea of continuing to use it.
He has a clear understanding that he is not yet able to quietly peep into the fate of a powerful person with great luck like the Empress.
If he does it forcefully, he will only get the words of prophecy and at the same time the empress will capture the source of his aura, exposing his traces at this moment.
It would be fine if I were somewhere else at this time, but it would be absolutely unacceptable if I was under someone else's nose right now.
Right now, the only remaining way is ruthlessly blocked, and I am suddenly helpless.
There was a 1/4 chance of guessing right, so now he could only try his luck.
Different from the first-level audition assessment, the questions in this imperial examination do not come with relevant information for reference.
In other words, everything needs to be judged by the candidates themselves.
Three quarters of an hour passed by unconsciously.
With the solemn announcement from the old Imperial Master, the palace examination officially ended.
There was an open blank answer sheet placed on the short table in front of each participant. He Gu took a deep breath and wrote down the final answers.
On the opposite side, Tian Qian calmed down a little and started writing the answer.
The remaining two disciples of Tianji Pavilion looked frustrated and procrastinated a bit, writing down their respective answers very unconfidently.
The old master put away the answer sheets of the four candidates one by one, walked a few steps forward respectfully, bowed at the foot of the steps and presented them with both hands.
The power of space tore open a gap in the void, and a powerful yet extremely gentle golden spiritual power lifted up the four answer sheets in the hands of the old master and flew into it.
In the blink of an eye, four answer sheets fell on the imperial case inside the curtain.
Everyone in the audience held their breath, and for a moment, the sound of a needle dropping could be heard in the hall.
He Gu felt uneasy in his heart.
After all, he still couldn't deduce the details of the empress' recent worries through divination.
In the last moment, he just used a vague and tricky answer to forcefully increase the gambling odds from one-fourth to one-half.
As for whether his cleverness might lead him to deviate from the scope of the test questions, he no longer cared about it.
Tianqian held his breath and concentrated.
In fact, he was not able to divine and deduce specific things, but he just caught a glimmer of effective information that "should be related to a person" like seeing flowers in the smoke.
Other than that, I have no clue at all.
Since the empress was famous and her accession to the throne did not come naturally, he boldly speculated that this person would most likely be involved in the stability of the Dawu Dynasty.
After repeated deliberation, I came up with the theory of hidden dangers of traitors.
The other two Tianji Pavilion disciples were even more confused. They could only infer that the recent frequent movements in the Western Demon Territory had caused the empress' worry, and they did not have too many extravagant thoughts.
At this moment, they put their hopes more on their senior brother at the front.
Inside the mysterious golden curtain that exuded a noble aura, the majestic empress regained her composure and took a first look at her nephew's answer sheet.
When the beautiful emperor's eyes read the formal text word by word, he was suddenly struck by his thoughts, and couldn't help but fill up with mist and cry silently with joy.
[When light is invisible, trees have shadows; when a heart is apologetic, people are not ashamed.]
It seems that the author wanted to comfort him and added a short sentence at the end.
【It’s not too late to add time.】
Those few words of comfort became a great source of encouragement in the eyes of the empress, sweeping away her recent hesitation and hesitation.
Try your best to make up for it and become a firm and determined one!
Previously, after meeting each other on the street that night, her original intention of getting to know each other as soon as possible was greatly shaken.
It's not a change of heart, but a defensive move to take a step back from my nephew. I suddenly realize that the knot from back then has not been untied, and the rift in the relationship with the He family has not yet been healed. I am afraid that doing it in a hurry will be counterproductive and become irreparable.
Now she only has one potential relative left in the world, her nephew, and she doesn’t want to completely lose him!
At this moment, her nephew's answer gave her the support she wanted most, and most importantly, gave her unlimited hope.
There was no need to look at the other answer sheets. To be more precise, she no longer wanted to look at them.
He lightly moistened his red lips, and immediately announced with authority: "Examinee Gu Li's answer to one paper is the most relevant to the test, and it should be the best among the four papers!"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone present changed to varying degrees.
The two Imperial Academy disciples suddenly showed a little joy, while the remaining Tianji Pavilion disciples showed stiff disbelief on their faces.
After a moment of recovery, he suddenly became a little gloomy and hard to look at.
He never expected that the final victory would be taken away by the most inconspicuous and unknown person among them. It was completely beyond his expectation.
The thumbnail of the sleeve robe was dug into the flesh of the index finger, and it took a long time to slowly release it.
After all, this is the territory of the Dawu Dynasty, and it is not the two Imperial Academy students who win the championship. It is unjustifiable to say that he is partial. Even if he has a good status, it is difficult to raise any questions at this moment.
He Gu immediately relaxed his shoulders and exhaled slowly.
He immediately took a step forward calmly, saluted and thanked him.
Hearing the hint of genuine surprise in the empress's tone, the old Imperial Master was delighted and beamed with joy.
This means that the Imperial College under his control will have another capable assistant in the future. More importantly, with the addition of the empress's nephew, the Imperial College's status in the dynasty will undoubtedly rise to a higher level.
The cloud shadows are also clear and the eyes are slightly bright.
In the palace, an imperial edict with dazzling golden light slowly descended, carrying a palm-sized jade seal exuding three-color royal aura. The majestic imperial voice echoed through the sky from the palace, and He Gu was canonized as the Young Master of the Dynasty on the spot.
In an instant, outside the palace and in the imperial capital, the government and the public were shaken.
Although the appointment of "Young National Master" suddenly broke out, the talent recruitment competition originally claimed to recruit a new talent with outstanding Tianji skills for the Dawu Dynasty, which is reasonable.
After being shocked for a moment, the people in the old city were all thinking about who Gu Li was, and there were heated discussions for a while.
He Gu didn't think too much, and there was no time to think too much, so he quickly stepped forward and took it solemnly.
The moment the imperial edict and square seal were taken into hand, an invisible force of luck immediately blessed the body. Suddenly, the spiritual power of the whole body suddenly became active and accelerated, and the limbs and limbs suddenly felt extremely refreshed!
Inexplicably, he felt that he had obtained a rather special cultivation amplification effect, and there was also a strange feeling that the power of Tao skills was slightly strengthened.
The Tianji Qi produced by the Tianji Trigram Pan improves the quality of spiritual roots and indirectly improves He Gu's cultivation efficiency. It has been proven that there is no conflict between the two, and he can still enjoy the speed-up gains brought by the dynasty's luck.
Is this the so-called blessing of dynasty luck...
He Gu couldn't help but secretly praise it in his heart.
Then, generous and ordinary rewards wrapped in golden spiritual power emerged from the cracks in the void above the hall and landed one by one in the hands of every unsuccessful candidate except He Gu.
He couldn't help but glance at He Gu opposite him. Tian Qian felt extremely uncomfortable in his chest.
When I think about all the hard work and wasting a lot of my life today on divination and deduction, but in the end I only got some comfort rewards that are better than nothing, I can't help but have high blood pressure.
But he didn't dare to show it at all, and both of them were very upset.
When the dust of the palace examination has settled, it is naturally time for everyone to leave.
"Go." The empress said calmly.
Immediately understanding the situation, the old Imperial Master immediately set out to take the others away from the palace. He Gu, who carefully took over the imperial edict and official seal, was left alone.
I couldn't help but feel a little nervous, fearing that my disguise would be revealed.
Along the way, it was not clear whether the old Imperial Master had noticed him, but I was sure that the empress above had seen through it at a glance.
It is normal for practitioners to cover their faces and disguise themselves while walking outside. Logically speaking, it is not of any importance.
He was afraid that the empress would ask him to reveal his true face, and his sensitive identity would be revealed through his appearance.
Without the memory of his parents' appearance, he doesn't know whether he looks like him or not, lest he make a mistake and fall short.
In the final analysis, the appointment of Shao Guoshi was not within his expectations. He originally thought that after receiving the reward, he would be admitted to the Imperial Academy at most, but he did not expect to be entrusted with such an important task so quickly and so easily.
It's just an ordinary position. You can make up a tragic excuse to deal with it for a while, then put oil on your feet and run away.
But in such an important position, there is no way that he would be allowed to look at him in disguise.
Suddenly, only He Gu was left alone in the hall, and the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
For a moment, inside the curtain, the empress' voice became slightly softer: "Tell me, what do you want?"
He Gu secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the content of the question.
Still unclear about the significance of the Heaven and Earth Fruit to the Dawu Dynasty, he tried his best to calm down at the moment, and soon he naturally assumed the status of a minister of Shao Guoshi.
Not having time to think, he replied respectfully and seriously: "Because I am in need, I dare to ask for a piece of Heaven and Earth Fruit."
The empress was a little surprised and asked slowly: "Can it be changed to something else?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The words do not mean that there is no, but more like there is some kind of obstacle.
He Gu was startled when he heard this and was very puzzled.
Seeing this, Gu Cangyue explained with rare patience: "I am not breaking my promise. This fruit is extremely difficult to survive. It only grows in a closed secret realm. It is only opened once a year in February. It has just passed now."
soon.
If you insist, you have to wait another year."
But it is true that the Dawu Dynasty always picked the Heaven and Earth Fruits only when needed and never kept them specially.
Moreover, the fruit of heaven and earth is inherently better as it is precipitated. In addition, it only contains a trace of the power of the rules of heaven and earth, and cannot be used by those who are not cultivators of the nine realms. Naturally, there is no need to collect it in advance.
She was not surprised that there were still strong men in the Nine Realms in the He family, and she even guessed that the person her nephew needed was most likely the eldest elder of the He family, He Qing.
However, she felt a little conflicted about why He Qing suddenly asked her nephew to come to fight for him in disguise.
Although the Fruit of Heaven and Earth is helpful for those in the Nine Path Realm to build a perfect domain and space, it is not absolutely necessary.
If the He family doesn't want their nephew to come into contact with her, then the effect of the Heaven and Earth Fruit shouldn't be able to change the He family's idea.
Unless... this is just his nephew's own intention. He came to participate in the recruitment competition without telling the He family, hoping to surprise He Qing with the Heaven and Earth Fruit.
With just one sentence, the empress keenly caught a favorable clue.
One year is neither long nor short, so there is no need to worry about being deeply troubled for a while.
I originally planned to take the opportunity to escape after getting the Heaven and Earth Fruit, but the current situation is that it is temporarily impossible.
He Gu could not be so ruthless and ignorant towards his clan members, especially the ancestors of the He family who seemed to treat him well in his vague memory.
When he thought of He Qing's current miserable state, he had no choice.
He sighed helplessly and insisted softly: "Then I will wait for one year!"
Although the emperor was very reluctant to give up, Gu Cangyue deeply understood the truth that going too far is not enough at this time.
He tried his best to keep his tone calm: "In that case, you go back first and report to the Imperial College tomorrow. The old Imperial Master will arrange everything.
When the time is right, I will naturally invite you to come and receive the fruit."
Now that the matter has come to this, He Gu wishes he could go out early, so Fang Xia quickly thanked him and left, for fear of being mentioned about the transformation.
As soon as he walked out of the hall, the cloud shadows on the side of the curtain followed him quietly and consciously after bowing.
Behind the curtain, the empress had beautiful golden eyes and deep eyes, murmuring to herself.
"One year..."
Unintentionally buying some time for herself, Gu Cangyue felt that God's will was at hand, and couldn't help but start to think seriously about the future relationship.
She didn't expect that one day she would bother with such things. After a while, she smiled bitterly.
