Chapter 189: Going up the stairs
"What's in Zhouyuan? Treasure?"
"There should be weapons or secrets of martial arts of the peerless powerful man who was defeated by Zhou Dufu back then. Of course, the most important thing is that his own inheritance may also remain in Zhou Garden."
"All the things you find after entering Zhouyuan belong to you? Don't you have to hand them over to the court?"
"Rewarding according to merit is the basic principle. Of course, although Zhouyuan is good, it is very dangerous to go deep into it, not to mention that there will be so many opponents of the same realm. Therefore, the more important significance of Zhouyuan is that this is the most suitable place for young practitioners to try."
"Don't those senior strong men go to Zhouyuan to grab treasures?"
"Those disciples of the scattered people or those old monsters will go to the park on a dangerous journey, but they also have to worry about the attitudes of the five saints, and they don't think they will do too much.
Many years ago, in the battle of Luoyang, Zhou Dufu defeated Emperor Taizong of the Great Zhou, and Emperor Taizong must have lost something to him. Earlier, he defeated the once-protected Demon Lord outside Xue Lao City. The extremely powerful Tianluo in the Demon Lord's hand was severely damaged and his position on the Hundred Artifacts List kept falling, and he could only use it to cover up an assassination in the National Education Academy.
From this point, we can see how great, profound and specific the influence of Zhou Dufu on this continent was. He didn't know how many peerless powerful people had defeated in his life. If the weapons or skills of those peerless powerful people were all in Zhou Garden, it would be the greatest treasure.
What's more, as Jinyu Law said, Zhou Dufu has not been in sight for hundreds of years, either dead or broken the void. In either case, his inheritance may remain in Zhouyuan.
The inheritance of the most powerful person in the mainland... Just thinking about it makes people feel shaking and unable to feel at ease.
After listening to Jin Yulu's story, Chen Changsheng and the other two finally had a real sense of this matter. The doorman became quieter, and the oil droplets accumulated on the tips of the fangs became larger and larger.
Who doesn’t want to enter Zhouyuan like this?
In the past many years, Zhouyuan has been opened at the same time, shaking the continent, but its specific location is not always discovered. This year, the location of Zhouyuan has finally been confirmed again, which means that the Great Zhou Dynasty will definitely send many people to Zhouyuan to explore, trying to find those real treasures.
What Akiyama-kun did was just to find the gate of Zhouyuan and get the key to Zhouyuan. The heavy fog outside Zhouyuan gradually dissipated, and the world inside was still mysterious.
However, this small world that has been opened once in ten years has very strict requirements for the realm of practitioners who want to enter this world, and there is no difficult standard for how to operate - only the secret realm can survive in it.
Tang Sanshiliu and Xuanyuan Po subconsciously looked at Chen Changsheng. In the final decisive battle of the Grand Court Examination, Chen Changsheng succeeded in the unexplainable success, so he was naturally qualified to enter Zhouyuan.
Chen Changsheng shook his head. He was sure that the number of young practitioners who would enter Zhouyuan in the future would definitely be more than now, because tomorrow is the period of enlightenment of the Heavenly Book Tomb.
"Tomorrow, prepare the medicine and crystals, and strive to be able to realize the realm of enlightenment in the Heavenly Book Mausoleum." He looked at Tang Sanshiliu and Xuanyuan Po and said, "We will enter Zhouyuan together at that time."
Jin Yulu said: "Your Highness will also enter the Heavenly Book Mausoleum tomorrow."
Chen Changsheng said: "Then let's go together."
In fact, Chen Changsheng was not very concerned about Zhou Yuan's affairs because it was too far away... In fact, based on time, it was not too far away, but his mind was in front of him, just tonight.
Tonight he will enter the palace to do the thing he must do and must do well. Only in this way can other things in the world, such as treasures and legends, be meaningful to him.
In the evening, it was dark and a carriage slowly stopped in front of the palace. Tang Sanshiliu jumped first, then Xuanyuan Po made the ground shake slightly, and then Chen Changsheng walked out of the car.
Before the palace, there were people everywhere. Nearby were young disciples from various academies and sects, and far away were people watching the fun. Kyoto people's pursuit of fun has always been unaffected by the weather and weather.
Looking at the three members of the National Education College, especially Chen Changsheng, the public's discussion suddenly became louder, and the expressions of the young candidates also changed a little.
Tonight, a total of 42 students from the three examinations of the Grand Court will attend the feast held by the Holy Queen Mother in the Mingtang, singing and dancing to celebrate, and then stay in the palace and go directly to the Tianshu Mausoleum the next night.
Only Chen Changsheng, who won the first place, could not attend this feast, but would have to meditate alone in Lingyan Pavilion for a night because this is the rule.
The public's discussions and the changes in the expressions of the candidates come from this. Lingyan Pavilion is a sacred pavilion, and it is also strictly forbidden. Your Majesty will enter the pavilion when there is a major event in the grand ceremony or the dynasty. In addition, only the top ranking of the annual grand ceremony test can be found in it for a night of memorial. On the surface, this is naturally a rare honor, but in fact, no one thinks it is a good thing.
There must be no bedding in Lingyan Pavilion. I am afraid that I will sit cross-legged all night. Not to mention sleeping, it is extremely difficult to take a nap. If I have to tossed like this, I will definitely be extremely tired and sleepy in the morning. Entering the Tianshuling Temple to realize the Tao will definitely be greatly affected.
No one understands why Emperor Taizong set this rule back then, and could only attribute it to the hero who wanted to use this method to strengthen the loyalty of the top ranking of each dynasty to the state dynasty.
However, as the years pass, this rule has become just a rule, and has been forgotten by many people until it turns out to be ignored. Only for Chen Changsheng, this rule is not as simple as the rule, but the most important thing is that he left Xining, came to Kyoto, entered the National Education College, participated in the Grand Court Examination, experienced so many storms, and took so many dangers...
With countless eyes on him, he walked into the dark and cold palace gate.
Under the guidance of a eunuch leader, he walked towards the deepest part of the deep palace, passed the Hanguang Hall, and passed the abandoned garden, which were the places he had been to. Then he saw the tall palace wall to the west and the green vines climbing on the wall, and knew that there were the National Education College and Baicao Garden.
The deeper the palace, the quieter it became. It could even be said to be deserted. The palace maids and eunuchs that I could see occasionally before could no longer see anyone. The sound of rituals and music in the Mingtang in the distance became increasingly faint, as if it had become the sound of another world, until it finally disappeared completely and was silent.
The eunuch leader left quietly at some point.
Only Chen Changsheng and a building were left.
That tall building is alone in front of you and it is impossible to admit its mistake. This is Lingyan Pavilion.
He would not get lost without guidance, because there was only one road to Lingyan Pavilion.
Lingyan Pavilion is very high, the road is very straight, and it is composed of countless stone steps.
The night has already enveloped Kyoto, and the stars are coming back to the world.
Starlight fell on the stone steps, coating it with a faint light. Looking from bottom to top, the stone steps seemed to have no end, just as if they were about to lead to the highest point of the night sky.
Without hesitation, Chen Changsheng walked along the stone steps towards the Lingyan Pavilion in the night sky. His steps were very stable, but not slow. His hands that fell beside him clenched into fists slightly, representing his nervousness and expectation.
