Zhaoying County, in front of the saint’s statue.

It's raining heavily outside, but there's no sign of rain here.

It seems that the heavy rain outside will stop here, and I dare not offend the examination dojo.

Zhao Ning's soul sensed that the Qi here was different from the Qi in the outside world.

This place is filled with a sense of great righteousness.

And the saint statue seems to contain extraordinary power and belief.

Zhao Ning looked deeply at the statue of the saint in front of him and couldn't help but ponder in his heart: "Could it be that these statues of the saint are living creatures? Or can it be said that the saint has faith left in these statues and can perceive the outside world?"

The next moment, Zhao Ning was curious and used his spiritual perception to touch these saint statues. Sure enough, he found something wrong.

The statue of the saint is attached with the ideas of the human heart and embodies the purest spiritual thoughts of the scholars.

Because of his faith in God, he possesses all kinds of incredible supernatural powers.

In addition, there seemed to be something hidden behind these saint statues that he couldn't understand. It was like facing an endless abyss and a sky full of fog, unable to see clearly.

Zhao Ning speculates that these human saints may not really be dead.

After all, these human saints are immortals in the world of mortals. They have longevity and are almost unlikely to die of old age.

At this moment, Zhao Ning had another bold guess: "Maybe this saint statue can really communicate with and sense saints."

While Zhao Ning was deep in thought, external academic officials and examiners came over.

They looked at the people below and shouted: "Worship the saint!"

Everyone worshiped these clay statues of saints.

As everyone paid homage, pure and vast spiritual thoughts were extracted from everyone's bodies, flew into the clay statue of the saint, and turned into the righteousness of heaven and earth, lingering in the sky above the examination room, sweeping across the rain curtain, and returning this place to a bright and peaceful world.

, Zhao Zhao Sun and Moon.

The righteousness of heaven and earth can suppress evil thoughts. Once an imperial examination candidate intends to cheat in the imperial examination, the backlash will come and his true colors will be exposed.

Although the statue of the saint is not a saint personally invigilating the exam, it is not a saint's decree and has awe-inspiring supernatural powers.

However, it is easy to suppress some candidates and students who plan to cheat in the imperial examination and use their evil thoughts.

Therefore, anyone in this world who is capable of cheating in imperial examinations would not bother to do such a humiliating thing.

Those who have no qualifications or ability and plan to cheat in the imperial examination should give up this intention as soon as possible.

Absolute fairness and absolute strength speak for themselves, but this is also the greatest confidence and method for the sage imperial examination.

The saint wandered around the examination room with righteousness, and everyone's hearts suddenly became pure, and they did not dare to have any evil thoughts.

Only then did Zhao Ning realize why those pale-haired old men had failed to win over the years.

With such stringent imperial examination conditions, you can only rely on your own strength, but you cannot cheat by relying on external favors and relationships.

If you don’t have the strength, you won’t be able to go to high school in your life, which is normal.

However, Zhao Ning never worried about this.

Behind him stands five thousand years of history and culture!

How can it be any different from the countless heroes of the past who have washed away the sand and left the eternal treasures for future generations of students?

When it comes to cultivating magical powers, the world in the previous life was slightly inferior.

But when it comes to this splendid culture, Zhao Ning firmly believes that Kyushu culture is not inferior to others!

Next, everyone stepped through the "Dragon Gate", which is a gate to the north.

The reason why it is called "Dragon Gate" is taken from the allusion and meaning of "a carp leaping over the Dragon Gate" and turning into a real dragon. I hope that these candidates will be able to win the gold medal, pass the imperial examination and become a master.

Zhao Ning followed everyone through the dragon gate, and someone else came over to answer them one by one and identify them by name.

Candidates who have previously provided guarantees also need to come and confirm in person, identify the identity of the candidate, and determine whether the candidate is suspected of being an imposter.

In addition, there are also humane experts who secretly spy on everyone's faces and auras to identify whether there are demons sneaking into them to cause trouble in the imperial examination.

After all, saint statues are dead objects after all, and the way to circumvent them has already been solved after tens of thousands of years of research.

Thousands of years ago, there were demons who knew how to trick people into hiding. They sneaked into the imperial examination room and became the top scorer in high school. They then became officials in the court and hid their true identity for decades. They controlled the government and secretly stole the secrets of human beings, causing chaos and chaos in the world.

Later, the master from Peach Blossom Mountain was invited to kill the demon, and then he was caught out and the future troubles were eliminated forever.

From then on, the imperial court would send humanitarian experts to each imperial examination to identify the auras of these people.

Once a problematic situation is discovered, it will be strictly scrutinized to ensure that there will be no flaws in the imperial examination.

After the identity verification was completed, a bearded academic officer in robes stepped forward and sang loudly: "The spirit is clear. In front of the saint, you all speak based on your strength. All candidates, please prepare to enter the examination room."

Next to him, another academic officer in robes with a mole under his forehead also took a step forward. The two of them stood side by side and sang loudly: "The yamen officials sounded the gong, held up the placard, and sealed the examination room. The headman controlled the outside of the venue, and no one else was allowed to enter."

Then everyone shouted in unison: "Seal the courtyard!"

As the word "Feng Yuan" fell, in a moment, everyone followed the footsteps and guidance of the Yamen officers in the corresponding order, went to their respective examination areas and seats, and prepared to start the examination.

"The county examination is only the first step of the imperial examination.

No wonder those dandy boys are unwilling to come here to study for the imperial examination.

If you were to take the imperial examination, and you didn’t have nine points of talent and ten points of ability, who would be sure of being named on the gold medal list?

However, if it were not for strict invigilation, I am afraid there would be no situation where students from poor families could still change their destiny by passing the imperial examination.

The number of admission places for the imperial examination is always limited.

Green comes from blue and is better than blue.

The longer you go, the older you get, the slimmer your chances of taking the imperial examination for high school.

But the way to take the imperial examination is difficult, but it does not faze me.

Standing on the shoulders of countless literati over the past five thousand years, I, Zhao Ning, can overlook the world.

There are ten battles of talents in the world, and Zhao Ning has twelve of them.

Based on this calculation, the world still owes me two fights of talent."

Zhao Ning is more determined to make a blockbuster success.

The harder it is, the more room there is for him to play.

Amidst mountains of swords and seas of fire, a hero shows his true colors.

If Zhao Ning is afraid because of difficulties, he is not a hero.

On the contrary, the more difficult it is, the more excited Zhao Ning becomes.

At this moment, Zhao Ning seemed to have returned to the crazy days in his previous life when he stayed up late to clear levels and play games in order to achieve full-level achievements.

With a firm will in his heart, Zhao Ning calmly spread out the Four Treasures of the Study, grinded and settled them, and sat down with his eyes closed to rest.

After everyone settled down, the academic officer began to recite the precautions for the exam, and the yamen officers were also patrolling the venue holding signs and lanterns at this moment, which meant that the exam had officially begun.
Chapter completed!
