One hundred and seventy-three: Hutian (1)

In the cold spring, the sun was hazy, the eaves and tiles were shining with a clear color, the bells in their ears suddenly approached from a very distant place, and Li Buzhuo's ears were filled with crowded footsteps and the sound of clothes swaying.

When I looked up, the rusty Zhaoxin Bell on the gatehouse slowly shaking. When I touched the collision, I made a heavy and melodious sarcasm.

Li Buzhuo raised his palm, his palm full, which was the vibrant skin of the young man.

"The heart is shining, the heart is shining, which means illuminating the original heart."

Li Buzhuo suddenly came back to his senses.

He was still a young man who had just entered the examination room of the mansion. Under the bell, he dreamed of yellow beams and finally woke up.

When I look back, I see my black hair and white hair. I have experienced this feeling many times.

This time it was different, and the scene in the dream was still vivid in my mind.

"Gu Xi? Is there really such a person in the world?"

Li Buzhuo recalled Gu Xi's appearance, but found that his memory was completely blurred.

"Gu, Gu...what is her name? It's wrong. It seems that her surname is not Gu..."

The more Li Buzhuo wanted to remember the experience in his dream, the memory was like quicksand at his fingertips. The tighter he grabbed it, the faster he faded. In a flash, Li Buzhuo could no longer remember the name of the woman who played the piano for him in his dream.

Li Buzhuo looked up at Zhao Xinzhong and walked forward.

At this moment, the bell disappeared.

From the beginning to the end, the Zhaoxin Bell rang nine times in total, and the last fifty breaths were spent.

However, after the clock stopped, there were only more than 200 candidates downstairs of Zhaoxin Tower, and only more than 200 people suddenly opened their eyes, continued to move forward, and walked past Zhaoxin Tower.

The remaining more than 3,000 people were still standing in a dream, still crying, laughing, and having different expressions. They were unable to take another step and walk out of Zhaoxin Tower.

There were only 200 candidates left, and the originally crowded examination room of the palace was divided into an empty space by Zhaoxin Tower.

Sun Qingchen, the head examiner of the mansion examination, led a group of deputy examiners, the mansion guards, standing in the road between the stone railings and saying to everyone: "You have passed the first level, and follow me."

This is the first level of the palace examination, "Shooting Heart". Four thousand people take 200, but one hundred does not exist.

……………………

The palace was not allowed to make noise. The candidates followed Sun Qingchen and walked into the Zhaoxin Building's main courtyard.

Li Buzhuo glanced at the crowd. As expected, Ru Fu Ying and He Wenyun and other candidates who performed well in the county exam did not block them. What surprised him was Bai You. Bai You also passed the first level. After all, he had a rich family background. Even if he had the reputation of being a naughty, he became serious and left behind the more than 3,000 people outside Zhaoxin Tower for many years to study hard.

Bai You was very moved at this time. After waking up from the bell, the memory in the dream faded quickly. Now he can only vaguely remember some fragments. After the trial, he had to talk about his experience at that time, and he could only describe it in an vague way of "waking up after a dream". He could not remember the details of the dream at all. Although the word "正" in "正" can be inferred that the test is the nature, but if you ask how to test it, you cannot know it.

At this time, everyone entered the main academy of the Mansion Examination. Sun Qingchen stopped and said to everyone: "Those who can pass the first level and stand here are people with firm minds. The previous process of the Mansion Examination was not announced to the public because of this test of concern. Now you have passed the first level, and as for the second level, it is the top priority of the Mansion Examination. Among you 200 people, at least thirty-five people can win the imperial examination, but even if you pass the imperial examination, Dingtian Palace will not issue you the innate perfection, or even the master's realm Qi Refining Method. Your Qi Refining Method is obtained in the second level of the Mansion Examination."

Most of the candidates who are still standing here have a good family background. They have already known the information Sun Qingchen said, and they all know the income from the second level of the mansion examination is related to their future future.

Seeing that everyone's faces were solemn and did not relax, Sun Qingchen nodded, walked to the side of the main courtyard, and ordered the two guards to open an ordinary wooden door, revealing the bronze cast behind it, cast into the shape of a giant python, and circling up the stairs to let everyone enter the building.

Everyone entered in a row. From the inside, the gate was cast in bronze, which was very heavy.

When the last one passed the exam, the door rumbled and closed, and any subtle sounds echoed clearly by the python ladder in this cramped room.

Looking up, I saw that the black walls on all sides were about twenty feet tall, much taller than the Fushima Courtyard that looked from outside. I saw that the spiral ladder stretched to the top and extended to the outside skylight.

When everyone walked up the stairs, the sound of footsteps echoed, as if walking in the python's belly. When they saw the head and tail of the python were connected in the air, they couldn't help but feel endless about this not-too-long stairs.

Looking up, the ladder leads to the outside world.

Naturally, judging by height, this will never be the roof leading to the examination room. Li Buzhuo thought to himself: "I'm afraid it's like a city. Although it exists in the present world, it is actually another world. Could it be that the place where the examination and assessment of this palace was also fabricated by the saint using the pot of heaven?"

As he thought about it, everyone came to the top.

When I looked out of the steps, I saw that the fields were empty, which made the view that was used to being filled with the crowded buildings of Xinfeng Mansion very uncomfortable. I saw that the vast mist drifted away, and several peaks were faintly exposed.

Come up from the stairs in the examination hall of the government, but come to such a world.

"Is this a small world fabricated by the Hu Tian Technique?"

Some of the candidates said, "No wonder we couldn't find out the information about the Mansion Examination. It turned out that the second level was the assessment in the Hutian Realm created by the saint's supernatural powers. This world was the generation of a saint's thought. If it was not allowed, it would be futile to obtain anything in this Hutian Realm. Even after breaking through the realm, we could not even remember anything we bumped into."

As he was speaking, someone approached the side. The two guards who led everyone here greeted him. The old man who appeared in the mist looked at everyone and nodded and said, "Two hundred and twenty-eight people, this year the mansion was sent to the Hutian realm, which is indeed much more than last year. If you have anything to ask, please ask me. From now on, I will be your guide in the Hutian realm. Come with me first."

As he said that, the old man walked into the mist, and everyone left the stairs that had come in. Before they could walk far away, they saw a house not far away.

At the same time, he also learned from the "Old Hu" who led the way that this Hutian Realm was not a world created by the saints who used magical powers to assess candidates for the examination of the government. It had existed for a long time and contained many qi refining methods. It was just like the city and was only open once a year. When it was opened, not only the candidates would be allowed to come in, but some aristocratic families that did not have to participate in the examination, but also the forces such as the craftsmanship alliance would also be allowed to come in to compete for inheritance.

Along the way, Mr. Hu simply briefly explained the rules here, took everyone to the side of the house, and assigned their own residences. Li Buzhuo thought in his mind, and it seemed that the second level of the mansion test would not be over in a short time.
