This strangely shaped, extremely large stone was the thing that landed in Chang'an hundreds of years ago and caused the loss of life in the imperial city of Chang'an.
The flying star in the outer realm was the beginning of the human race's troubles, and it is also a precious thing that the human race relies on today.
Song Mu looked up and was completely shocked for a moment. The Gongshi who stepped in around him all looked shocked at this moment. They even stopped to watch and were urged to go inside.
This Tianxing Palace occupies a huge area, with pillars standing in it, supporting this huge cylindrical palace.
On the first floor of the palace, the situation here is very special. A circle of stairs extending downward wraps the entire star building.
It seems that after the Star fell to the ground, a huge pit was created in the ground, and then the palace was repaired, but they did not dare to move towards the Star, so they built the palace ground according to the terrain.
And these wide stairs also serve as examination rooms for students.
The seats further down are reserved for those with higher rankings in the examination, the closer they are to the star.
He also enjoys the nourishment of the power of the stars even more.
But just the next moment, everyone immediately changed their minds, because when they stepped to the edge of the stairs, they suddenly felt as if something was pressing down on themselves.
That kind of power is not powerful, but it is always present by his side, which makes people feel quite uncomfortable.
Everyone was amazed, but Song Mu knew what was going on.
Gravity, the gravity from this star.
It not only affects the flow of literary power in his body and others, but also restricts his movements. The closer he gets to the star, the stronger the gravity seems to be. Every step he takes forward at this moment feels heavier under his feet.
Tianxing's terrifying and frightening aspects have already been explained at this moment.
In exams in places like these, you can't win by just relying on your brain power. The struggle of physical and literary skills will also be a special test.
A group of tributes came in one after another at this moment, walking up the stairs to find a place according to their ranking.
Among the stairs, only those Gongyuan officials were walking around, arranging everyone to find their positions quickly, or announcing the rules of the examination room to everyone briefly and to the point.
It's just that the expression on the face of the candidate who is moving forward is more solemn at this moment.
Song Mu and the other Wujingkui almost gritted their teeth and walked to the front, with unpleasant expressions on their faces.
Song Mu was currently arranged to sit on the north side, which was the head of the oval-shaped Wenxing. At this moment, the light emitting from the cracks even illuminated his face.
Before he sat down, Song Mu could feel that the weight on his body was heavier.
Not long after, when all the tribute students had taken their seats, the official from the Ministry of Rites shouted loudly.
"The tributes are seated, and all the officials are watching the ceremony!"
As he said this, footsteps sounded again around the hall, but the officials waiting outside filed in. They all cast their eyes towards the hall, occasionally exchanged a few words, and then climbed up the stairs on one side of the hall. Take a seat upstairs.
The ring-shaped pavilion allows them to clearly see any action on this floor.
Song Mu also looked up at the moment and took a look. Many of the officials had a strong aura and a majestic air in their movements. They were obviously important ministers in Chang'an.
In addition, there are also some people who are of low status and even have a civilian atmosphere. They are just elegant and noble. It seems that they are the family members of these officials or some relatives of the emperor.
The Imperial Examination of the Wen Dynasty was the most eye-catching among all the imperial examinations, and because of the special location where it was held, it was also a mysterious scene that ordinary people rarely see.
This tall Tianxing Hall was built for these people to watch the ceremony.
After these people sat down, Song Mu also saw the figures of Feng Xiang and Tan Xiang. They all headed towards the higher level with indifferent expressions.
Almost every official passing by here at this moment is a minister, minister, and other officials. Behind them in every realm are the pillars of the Wen Dynasty. The prosperity of the Wen Dynasty can also be seen from this.
The surrounding Gongshi were a little unaccustomed to it at the moment, and felt that there was another invisible pressure hanging over their hearts.
Song Mu calmly adjusted his breathing. What he should be concerned about now was the palace examination in front of him.
After all the officials and their families were seated, they heard someone shouting again.
"Your Majesty is here!"
After saying these words, everyone in the venue immediately cheered up and quickly looked around.
At this moment, all the four doors of the Tianxing Palace were fully opened. On the north side where Song Mu was, a yellow-covered umbrella appeared, followed by the figures of many people.
Song Mu saw the person at the front at a glance. This person had a broad and handsome face, and was not angry or intimidating. He looked no more than middle-aged, but his aura was very calm.
Wearing a golden dragon robe, everyone's breathing became a little heavier unconsciously.
At that moment, all the tribute students and officials stood up and bowed their heads, and said in a deep voice.
"See Your Majesty!"
"Without courtesy, dear ladies, please take your seat immediately!"
A hearty voice came, and Li Ao glanced at everyone here at the moment, let out a deep breath, and walked to one side.
His viewing position was located at the highest point of the Tianxing Palace. From there, he could clearly see the conditions of all the candidates below.
Everyone in Song Mu sat down one after another, and the officials who presided over the examination also stepped forward and shouted loudly.
"Bingxu Palace Examination, Fengwen Tourmaline!"
As he said this, the priest stepped forward, holding a large bronze cauldron in his hand. The cauldron was filled with green stones.
Those things are crystal tourmalines, but now, they have not been baptized by the stars.
After the Gongshi writes an article to attract the Wenxing, these tourmalines will be imbued with the power of the Star, and those who get these tourmalines will successfully become Jinshi, and from then on have the extraordinary ability to become a saint.
Everyone's eyes became uncontrollably hot, and the priest spoke to the surrounding people at this moment.
"Dear tributes, if it is a cultural tourmaline that has been obtained by the ancestors of your noble sect, please bring it up."
So someone in the field carefully took out the cultural tourmaline of their ancestors from their arms and carefully presented it to it.
Song Mu also touched his arms, but he felt the Wenxing in his arms. At this moment, it was emitting a faint heat, and seemed to be touched by being close to the origin of the star.
Song Mu was also curious at the moment. He didn't know what he, a literary star, would do above the palace examination.
At that moment, Song Mu also presented the cultural tourmaline that had been passed down by his Song family. The priest carefully took it and placed it in the big cauldron.
After all this was done, the priest turned to look at Li Ao and raised the bronze tripod high with both hands.
Without saying a word, Li Ao suddenly surged with literary power in his hand, wrapping around the cauldron and rising into the air. At the same time, something appeared in his other hand, and a golden light flashed from it.
That is Li Ao's civil soldiers, mountains and rivers jade seal.
The golden light flashed, and everyone suddenly noticed that the stars in front of them were shaking. The stars suddenly dispersed even more, and Li Ao had already waved his hand to push the cauldron containing the Wenwen Tourmaline into it.
When the stars in the sky closed together, Li Ao let out a deep breath, glanced at the Gongshi below with sharp eyes, and said in a deep voice.
"The palace exam is about to begin!"
