Song Mu had just woken up from his meditative state and exhaled a breath of turbidity.
Although he has already entered the realm of Jinshi, he is not good at using it. After this baptism of the palace examination, the literary power in his body has been guided by the stars, and it has become much smoother this time.
Now, all he needs to do is move his mind, and he can immediately make the literary power in his body flow perfectly, and he can perform various attacks with ease.
Moreover, the power of thought in his mind has also increased. At this moment, it is like a vast ocean. He just releases it at will, and the situation within a few miles is immediately clear.
The feeling of having great strength in his body was simply fascinating, and Song Mu couldn't help but feel excited.
The sky outside the window was already getting slightly brighter. Song Mu immediately stood up and put the piece of Wenxing Tourmaline in his hand into his arms.
After getting this thing in the palace test the day before yesterday, he returned to the guild hall and told Tao Fengming about it. Tao Fengming was also very surprised by this and said that he had got a shocking treasure.
After all, the only person in this world who can have Wenxing alone is Shi Zong.
Even someone as powerful as Tao Fengming couldn't get such a thing back then. Now that he was holding it in his arms, Song Mu also sighed in his heart.
Just as he was about to take another look at the wonder of Wenxing Tourmaline, there was a knock on the door.
"Song Huiyuan, we should set off."
It was the voice of a fellow countryman. Song Mu responded quickly, but immediately tidied himself up, put on his tribute uniform, and opened the door.
The palace examination ended the day before yesterday, the papers were judged yesterday, and the results were released today.
The peak of Bingxu Branch in Chongwen's thirty years is about to come.
Song Mu also dressed up and went out now, but today it was even more different. There were already soldiers and horses in the palace to greet him.
The group of new scientists didn't have to set off as early in the morning as the day before yesterday. When they went out today, the sky was already bright.
There were already many pedestrians on the street. Seeing the situation in front of the Jiangnan West Road Guild Hall, they immediately knew that today was the day when the results of the palace examination were released.
Many people came forward to watch, and some even congratulated twice. After Song Mu and others got on the carriage, these people also followed them to the imperial city.
The news spread from ten to ten, and there were already many people on the streets of Chang'an City, and they were all rushing towards Zhuque Street.
After all, after the results are released, the horse-riding parade will be held here. This kind of scene, a glimpse of the literati of the Wen Dynasty, is a time that countless people don't want to miss, and they even want to get a good position now.
In the carriage, a group of new students from Jiangnan West Road were looking at Song Mu with bright eyes, and suddenly one of them raised his hand towards Song Mu.
"Song Huiyuan, congratulations on this."
Saying this, other people also raised their hands and congratulated Song Mu. Song Mu looked surprised, and the man also spoke.
"We have all witnessed what happened the day before yesterday. If Brother Song can attract such shocking literary energy and make the stars shake, he will definitely succeed in one fell swoop."
"Today's palace examination results are released, and Song Huiyuan must be the top candidate!"
"I, Jiangnan West Road, can finally have another champion!"
The expressions on several people's faces were filled with excitement, as if they had seen the students from Jiangnan West Road becoming the world's attention in the future.
Song Mu also grinned this time, smiling and cupping his hands.
The carriage also wandered under the Imperial City, but this time it did not enter from the Jingfeng Gate in the east, but from the south, the main entrance of the Imperial City, the Suzaku Gate.
The Suzaku Gate is only the largest gate in the south of the imperial city. There are gates on the left and right next to it, and the Hanguang Gate is also open this time.
In the open square in front of the Suzaku Gate, many carriages have gathered here. New students from all over the country have got off the carriages. They hold hands with each other and talk continuously.
There were also people coming from around, and the square was very lively. The Chang'an garrison was dispatched immediately to temporarily maintain order.
But when they saw Song Mu getting off the carriage, all the people present looked excited, and some students even raised their arms and shouted.
"Song Huiyuan! This time I will definitely pass the exam in one fell swoop!"
"Song Huiyuan must have won the first prize this time. He has passed the third prize. This is a rare honor in the world!"
The discussion among the people was intense for a while, which also attracted the side glances of many new students present, all looking towards Song Mu.
When Song Mu set foot on the land here, he felt inexplicably nervous, and he didn't hear the shouts around him for a while.
Although everyone asserted that Song Mu must be the top pick this time, Song Mu didn't know if he was mentally prepared.
Song Mu could only keep his expression as calm as possible.
More people gradually arrived at the square. A group of students were talking to each other. Many people also came forward to talk to Song Mu, all of them smiling.
They all knew that Song Mu's article would definitely be taken seriously. Even if it were not for this, Song Mu's ability to obtain a piece of Wenxing Tourmaline would have surpassed many people.
They were very envious, and at this moment they all turned into congratulations.
Tan Wei came forward and spoke to Song Mu with a smile.
"Brother Song, today I am waiting to read your article."
"Yes, the palace examination ended the day before yesterday. What I want to see most is Brother Song's article. I am restless, wanting to see what article Brother Song has written that can make the stars in the sky shake."
Li Chi rushed up at some point. As he said this, his eyes were looking at Song Mu, and the expression on his face was very touching.
"Brother Song is so amazing and talented. I think all the great poets in the world will be fighting over him this time."
When Li Chi changed the topic, Song Mu also raised his eyebrows slightly.
And just as he was saying this, several figures suddenly flew towards the sky and landed on one side of the square.
These people were wearing light-colored robes, all carrying swords, and their postures were upright and proud.
"It's Li He Shizong, these people's swordsmanship must be extraordinary!"
"Their ancestors wrote "Chunfang Zhengzi Jianzi Song". Those poems are unparalleled."
A new student said continuously, with excitement in his tone.
The release of the imperial examination results was also the day of the Shizong's talent selection ceremony. These talents who relied on the imperial examinations to select at all levels had only two paths at this time, either to enter the imperial court or to go to the Shizong and become the new blood of the Shizong.
Entering the imperial court will bring blessings to the people; entering the poetry sect, you will be able to prove your literary skills.
Everyone has their own ambitions, and the imperial examination has proven everyone's strength and ability. It just depends on how everyone chooses.
"In the talent selection ceremonies of the past, there were many scholars such as the number one scholar who entered the Poetry Sect, and they also showed great brilliance."
Li Chi suddenly said this, then looked at Song Mu with a smile and said in a deep voice.
"I wonder what Brother Song has planned this time?"
As he spoke, his expression became more hopeful and he took a step forward.
"Brother Song, I wonder what choice you have in mind?"
When Song Mu heard this, his expression was calm. Song Mu had already made up his mind about joining the Shizong. When he was about to speak, Tan Weiyi next to him stepped forward and spoke first.
"Brother Li said this a bit too hastily. I see that Brother Song's words and deeds on weekdays show how worried he is about the common people. Maybe he will save his life for the common people in the future?"
After saying this, Li Chi paused, a little embarrassed for a moment, and turned his head to look at Song Mu.
Song Mu smiled this time.
Song Mu had never thought about joining the Shizong.
I don't dare to say that I will benefit the people, but in the future, I also have a goal in mind.
Ci Zong is his real goal.
"You two, we are about to enter the imperial city."
