"No. 380, Guiquan, Jie Yuan and go inside."
Song Mu had just been completely searched. At this moment, he had just packed up his things and pulled out a wooden sign from the big box next to him.
The officer who registered took the report and showed the location of the examination room, and then handed back the wooden sign together with Song Muwen's waist badge.
Song Mu suddenly felt something bad when he heard this number. This position was the last lap at that time.
Song Mu reached out to take the things, cupped his hands, and quickly walked to the Gongyuan with these things.
After crossing the two courtyard gates again, during which he saw countless soldiers and petty officials gathering inside, Song Mu finally saw the fascinating Gongyuan examination room within the high wall.
The area of the examination room here is much larger than that of the Yuzhang Examination Hall of Song Mu Township Examination.
Although there are twelve circles of test houses gathered towards the center, at a rough look, there are even nearly ten thousand test houses.
The examination rooms are all made of bricks and tiles. They don't look big, covering an area of four or five square meters. The style is more refined than those for the college examination and the provincial examination.
The examination venue is paved with large square blue bricks, which are also laid in a circular shape toward the middle. At the end of the green bricks and the examination room is a tall altar covering an area of nearly an acre.
This altar has six floors including the base. Each floor is about two meters long. It has a circular columnar structure. The walls of each floor are carved with cloud patterns. Two statues stand east and west, which is more majestic. .
Just looking at it from this distance, there is a sense of majesty and solemnity.
Song Mu moved forward a little further and saw that each floor seemed to have some protruding special designs, presumably where Wen Xing was placed.
Thirteen literary stars will be placed in the sixth floor area. When the article is triggered, it will be truly dazzling and dazzling.
Many of the people who had just entered here looked up at the altar like Song Mu. When they saw the huge altar, they couldn't help but let out a few exclamations, with many expressions on their faces.
Song Mu came back to his senses, picked up the things in his hands, pursed his lips slightly, and stepped forward to find his exam room.
The Gui Circle is on the outermost layer. When Song Mu spent some effort to find the number 380, the corners of Song Mu's mouth twitched unconsciously.
Because the location of the examination room is only a few meters away from the hut in the examination room.
Although his position is not the latest, it is still worthy of the title of Shihao.
During the nine-day exam, candidates can only move around occasionally in the examination room and the huts in the examination room. There are huts in the four corners of the examination room, but the scale of more than 5,000 candidates...
Song Mu could already think of the smell in that latrine a few days later.
I just hope this winter will be a little better.
Song Mu brought his things into the examination room that belonged to him.
The examination rooms in the Gongyuan were very well built and seemed to have been carefully cleaned during the period. Song Mu put down the things, immediately rolled up his sleeves, fetched some water with the gourd sawn into pieces by the soldiers, and then Wipe the inside carefully.
Then lay the tarpaulin on the tiles and beams above the head, and leave some curtains to block the outside.
After carefully cleaning the seat and table, Song Mu carefully placed his things inside.
After the exam started, there was a narrow door outside the exam room that was locked. Except for going out, you could not leave the exam room at any other time.
Therefore, Song Mu had to plan carefully in these four or five square meters of examination rooms.
Just as Song Mu was carefully sorting out the contents, he suddenly heard a wailing sound coming from outside.
"It turns out to be another shit number. Why am I so unlucky even when I'm taking the college and provincial examinations!"
The sound spread immediately, and several students around him looked over. Song Mu also came out and saw a fat young man in rich clothes. At this moment, there was a satin bag at his feet, pinching his nose and looking at the situation in front of him.
Seeing Song Mu and other students looking over, the other student also handed over to everyone and said with some embarrassment.
"Excuse me, everyone, did you bring any cleaning tools? I was just carrying some food and clothing, but I didn't expect that I would be assigned the position of this manure again."
The man said worriedly, and Song Mu, who was closest to him, immediately walked over with a smile and handed over several tools he used for cleaning.
"If this brother doesn't mind it, just use these things."
When the man heard this, he quickly raised his hands to Song Mu and asked Song Mu politely.
"Thank you very much. My Majesty is Wan Zaifeng. Who is your Excellency?"
"I'm going to Song Mu, Jizhou Prefecture, Jiangnan West Road."
Song Mu said with a smile, Wan Zaifeng's expression also looked very helpless, and he said with a wry smile.
"It seems that brother is as unlucky as me, and both got this shit number..."
But the next moment, his expression changed, and then he looked at Song Mu and exclaimed.
"Song Mu? Are you Song Jieyuan from Jiangnan West Road?"
After saying this, everyone around him looked over at this moment, and many people hurriedly raised their hands to Song Mu, and Song Mu also hurriedly raised his hands to signal.
"I have been in Chang'an for so long, but I have never seen Song Jieyuan, but I didn't expect that Song Jieyuan's exam room would be next to me."
"Haha, since Jie Yuan is on hand, I think when the time comes when the power of literature surges and gathers together, we will definitely be able to take advantage of it."
"It's just a shit number, it doesn't matter."
At this moment, the students' moods had calmed down a lot. Only Wan Zaifeng still had a sad face and murmured.
"The life of Shi Hao is not as easy as you think, and it is so far away from Wenxing..."
Song Mu turned his head slightly when he heard this. Wan Zaifeng quickly shut up and chuckled. He suddenly remembered something and took out a short piece of wood from his baggage and handed it to Song Mu.
"Song Jieyuan, this should be my thank you gift, Wan. If you smell bad at that time, use a knife to scrape off some powder. After lighting it, it will last as long as three sticks of incense without smelling bad."
"This is top-grade agarwood. I've finally made a foolproof plan."
Wan Zaifeng patted his chest in assurance, and Song Mu was also surprised when he heard that Wan, the brother of feelings, had gained experience while sitting next to the dung horn.
This thing may be useful, Song Mu did not refuse at the moment and handed it over to the other party.
"Thank you so much, Brother Wan."
Song Mu thanked him and immediately handed over his hands and prepared to go back and clean up his exam room.
At this moment, Song Mu's eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of a line of small writing on the wall of the other party's examination room.
It was a line of small words carved on a brick in the middle of the test room.
"I feel so comfortable writing today, and I, Huangfu Fengming, will definitely pass the exam tomorrow!"
Song Mu took a closer look and was suddenly shocked.
Because this location turned out to be the location of the examination room where Tao Fengming was originally.
A sentence that was full of arrogance, and Song Mu suddenly felt a little stunned, as if he had traveled through decades and saw Tao Fengming when he was young, writing here and writing fast, and becoming famous.
At that time, Tao Fengming, who was also twenty years old, took the imperial examination and passed the examination in one fell swoop, becoming a legend in the literary dynasty.
Today, I, who is also twenty years old, follow in Master's footsteps and step into this examination room to write my own future.
Song Muduo felt emotional for a moment, clenched his fists unconsciously, raised his head and looked at the sky outside the examination room, thinking about that direction, Tao Fengming might also be looking there at the moment.
When Wan Zaifeng saw Song Mu's sudden expression of emotion and clenched fists, he thought he had said something wrong, but he saw Song Mu cupping his hands in front of him and saying in a deep voice.
"Brother Wan, as the saying goes, this is a humble house, but I am so kind to you. Today, let's work together to achieve success."
When Wan Zaifeng heard Song Mu's serious words, he nodded and handed over his hands. His eyes flickered a bit when he looked at Song Mu's turning back.
"This Song Jieyuan is quite kind."
After a small incident, Song Mu immediately broke away from his thoughts and began to fully prepare for the upcoming exam. At noon, he simply cooked something hot and ate it. When the sun was about three o'clock in the morning and the unitary hour was approaching, There were finally some changes on the field.
At that time, there were already many candidates sitting in the examination room. There was even smoke rising from the examination rooms everywhere, and the sound of conversation kept coming and going.
But at this time, a melodious bell rang, and then bursts of neat footsteps were heard from all directions in the examination room.
"Candidates return home and dress appropriately."
This long sound immediately spread throughout the examination room, and then a large number of soldiers in sharp attire were seen entering the examination room, walking quickly around the various circular examination rooms, and standing still in front of many examination rooms.
Immediately, someone from the north gate of the examination room was walking towards the examination room.
It was those sacrificial officials from before. The chief priest was walking at the front now, followed by more than a dozen sacrificial officials, all with serious expressions.
The priests walked slowly forward along the bluestone avenue leading to the altar, then climbed onto the towering six-story altar and stood on each floor.
Everyone was already bowing in the examination room until another melodious voice came.
"Welcome to Confucius, Zhang Sheng, and Wenxing!"
After the words fell, everyone bowed and saluted, and the priests on the altar were also moving at this moment.
These priests took out copper boxes and balls from their bodies, and then placed them on the pillars extending from each layer of the altar.
The chief priest standing at the top of the altar also reached out from his arms and took out a palm-sized diamond-shaped gemstone, which was just shining with a dense light, and placed it on the top of the altar.
At this moment, the chief priest also said a word in a deep voice.
"God bless Dawen and may he be prosperous forever!"
As the words fell, the gem began to rotate, and then bursts of light suddenly burst out from it. The light jumped down and connected to the other twelve literary stars on the layers of altars.
Thirteen Wenxing fragments gathered together and resonated at this moment.
Green light, red light, purple light, and various colors of light splashed out at the moment of stimulation, but they were immediately collected by the altar, and then slowly gathered on the top Wenxing, only a buzzing sound was heard, The noise around the examination center disappeared instantly.
"Examination, let's start the exam!"
