Chapter 367 Strong enough to be struck by lightning!
The Literary Examination of Tianbang is different from the normal imperial examination. There is no poetry. In terms of endorsing these assessments, you only need to choose two of the four topics of discussing sacred science, discussing rituals, discussing current affairs, and discussing Taoism, and only need to write two articles.
Among them, Mu Qianyu was best at discussing etiquette and sacred science. After all, these were found in books and were a little simpler. She only studied current affairs briefly, and discussing Taoism was even more mysterious and mysterious, which was not her strong point.
But the first topic today is: There is no way to heaven, so how can all sentient beings seek it?
The second way: the current general trend and the strategy to strengthen the country.
Mu Qianyu felt that God was not only jealous of her talent, but also her talent! Why did she come up with some questions that she was not good at!
She sat in the middle, looking at the people on both sides and in front and behind her from the corner of her eye. After seeing the topic, they all started thinking about it, and some of them had already written on the paper.
There is a large formation outside Chongwen Hall, which locks everyone's spiritual thoughts in the body, and it is forbidden to look around, so it is absolutely impossible to copy it.
Mu Qianyu took a deep breath and decided to examine it carefully. She had not read the book in vain for so long.
The other candidates were somewhat nervous because of environmental issues. After all, the emperor of the Daxuan Dynasty was sitting in the palace, with a golden dragon of luck pressing above his head. It was impossible to feel normal.
What is tested at this time is the ability to withstand stress and the accumulation of ordinary knowledge.
Mu Qianyu had no such considerations. He was only worried about the topic. He thought about it for a long time before he started writing. He wrote one sentence here and there on the straw paper, trying to string together a complete train of thought.
Time passed very quickly at this time, but it was in this state that an idea flashed in Mu Qianyu's mind, and he suddenly thought that he might be able to quote some fragments of sages' articles from his previous life.
This is something that has never been seen in this life, and it is a classic among classics. No one will doubt her plagiarism after writing it.
Thinking of this, she was really grateful to the old man next door when she was hospitalized, so that she could listen to the classics so well that she now started writing.
A light flashed in her eyes, and she stopped drafting. She picked up her pen and wrote on the examination paper:
The Tao can be Tao, but it is not Tao; the name can be named, but it is not named.
Wu is called the beginning of heaven and earth, and existence is called the mother of all things. Therefore, there is always no desire to observe its wonders, and there is always desire to observe its wonders.
These two have the same origin but different names. They are both called xuan.
After she finished writing, the more she read, the more satisfied she became. This is the Dao Jing in the Tao Te Ching, the most wonderful work on Taoism. No one can rival it in this world.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Two explosions of thunder suddenly sounded in the originally cloudless sky. Everyone present trembled and their pen and ink became crooked without exception.
Not only these people, but also the examiners felt their hearts tremble. The two thunders just struck seemed to hit the top of people's hearts, making their souls tremble.
Mu Qianyu was still immersed in her wonderful article. She was almost frightened by the two thunder explosions and fell down on the table. Like everyone else, she raised her head and looked towards the sky.
The clear sky was filled with layers of black clouds in an instant. The black clouds spread all over the imperial city, and suddenly it turned from daytime to as dark as night.
The space between heaven and earth is filled with gray light, and the endless pressure from the gray sky is transmitted down, making people feel depressed and breathless.
At this moment, facing the overwhelming power of Heaven, people can feel their own weakness even more. In front of Heaven, even the strongest monks are like ants.
Not to mention others, even Mu Qianyu, who has experienced the world, has been experiencing heart palpitations. Thinking of what she will have to fight against in the future, she, who has always been confident, can't help but feel powerless.
There was chaos in the imperial city in an instant, and people were looking for places to hide.
Some old people turned pale and chanted: "God has condemned me, I have been condemned by God, who has done such evil things?!"
Beichen Ye was drinking tea at the window. When he saw this, he hugged his daughter in his arms and frowned slightly.
"Daddy, what's going on? It's so scary?" Nannan huddled in Beichenye's arms. Although the environment in which she grew up did not make her feel that killing was so terrifying, how could she not be afraid of the supreme power of God.
Xiao Ruo even hid directly behind Beichen Ye. As a divine beast, she could better sense the power of Heaven. This was a sign of Heaven's anger. She instinctively felt trembling.
"Don't be afraid." Beichen Ye looked at the electric current appearing in the billowing black clouds and said slowly: "It's just a natural punishment. It seems to be in the direction of the imperial city."
When Nannan heard this, her face turned pale: "Then let's go and save mother quickly."
"Don't be alarmed. I think it's just an article that is unparalleled in the world." Beichen Ye said, "Such a scene has not been seen for a hundred years. This Daxuan Dynasty has produced an unparalleled genius."
"Boom!"
There were muffled roars in the sky, and lightning as thick as a water tank was accumulating in the dark clouds like silver snakes, shining palely in the gray.
Mu Qianyu discovered that this thundercloud actually appeared in the sky above Chongwen Hall. From her angle, it looked like it was directly overhead.
She couldn't help but swallow her saliva and thought to herself who was going to be punished by God. She just hoped that when the lightning struck that person, it would not affect her.
Although she is not a good person, she has never done anything harmful to nature. How unjust it would be if she was hacked to death!
In the Chongwen Hall, Emperor Daxuan could no longer sit still. He stepped forward and summoned the old prime minister Ji Lin to his side, asking which candidate present might have the power to attract heavenly punishment.
Ji Lin shook his head when he heard the question. He didn't know who could have such a great talent.
"Boom!"
Tens of thousands of lightnings in the sky condensed into one place in an instant and struck downwards.
There is a defensive formation above the imperial city. This defensive formation is the last line of defense of the imperial city, so it is extremely strong and very difficult to break through with manpower.
"Crack!"
The lightning struck down and instantly destroyed the city defense formation. It also broke through the luck barrier that the golden dragon of luck shrouded in Chongwen Hall, and smashed down violently.
Mu Qianyu's pupils shrank sharply, and her eyes were filled with the shadow of lightning. Only then did she belatedly realize that the thunder actually struck her!
Judging from her indomitable power, she can't dodge at all, and if she encounters lightning, she will be reduced to dregs in a second, no suspense!
"Crack!"
Lightning fell, and the paper and table in front of her suddenly turned into powder. She broke into a cold sweat and realized that she was fine at all.
"Master, don't panic, God's punishment is only for your article, it won't hurt anyone." Qi Ling spoke slowly at this moment.
Mu Qianyu almost stopped scolding her, and said angrily: "If you hadn't told me earlier, if I had a bad heart, you would have found another master now!"
