...
Qingdu City, the majestic imperial city.
The main hall where the imperial examination is held.
Hundreds of scholars were concentrating on answering the examination papers, either thinking deeply, frowning, smiling, or looking serious.
Several whistling air currents and changes in celestial phenomena in the outside sky did not seem to affect them.
Sa Wuling was among them, writing according to Yan Xiake's previous instructions, but his thoughts were always focused on his surroundings.
Halfway through the palace exam.
There was a sudden movement in his heart, and he saw many civil and military officials all around him kneeling on the ground, shouting three times long live.
Then, a young man wearing a dragon robe came out.
He is as tall as a dragon and has long hair. Just by looking at his appearance, no one can tell that he is an old man over 150 years old.
Sa Wuling glanced at it from the corner of his eye and was shocked.
He felt an indescribable air of resentment in this old emperor.
This resentful aura is so strong that it seems to have turned into substance and enveloped it. Even in the imperial palace where dragon aura and national destiny gather together, and where all evil is impervious to invasion, they are all showing their teeth and flexing their claws.
He simply couldn't imagine what kind of evil had been done to cause such a heavy evil aura.
As soon as he thought about it, the bone pendant on his wrist started to buzz.
Yan Xiake's divine will slowly revived from the absolute silence:
"coming......."
At this moment, Yan Xiake's heart was unprecedentedly calm, and all thoughts disappeared, not even a trace of murderous intention.
Some, just absolute peace.
The old emperor slowly sat down on the dragon chair covered with yellow satin. In front of him and behind him were four middle-aged Taoists in Taoist robes.
After the last assassination, he became more and more careful.
Glancing at the main hall, he waved his hand and said:
"Get up..."
He was a little distracted.
It was only a short distance from the harem, but he always felt a sense of panic in his heart. He felt carefully but didn't know what the problem was.
I just thought it was the changes in the external celestial phenomena that made me feel uneasy.
"Thank you, my emperor."
Many officials expressed their thanks in unison.
The old emperor swept across the hall and yawned lazily. Compared to the many scholars in the hall, his mind was more on the Ten Thousand Dharma Conference.
It's a pity that even if he is the supreme leader of a country, he is not qualified to watch the Ten Thousand Dharma Conference.
He also made several insinuations in the past few days, but unfortunately they were all rejected.
Feeling the changes in the external celestial phenomena at this time, he was quite envious in his heart.
Infinite power gathered in one body made him yearn for it more than the position of emperor. Unfortunately, the royal family could not practice cultivation. He paid such a high price and could only live a long life.
He was slightly absent-minded and absent-minded, and many officials did not dare to disturb him. They all looked at his eyes, nose and heart, as speechless as clay sculptures.
Many officials who invigilated the examination also tried to slow down their pace for fear of disturbing the emperor.
At this time, a discordant voice suddenly came:
"The students have finished answering the test questions, please ask some adults to correct them."
Many officials were startled.
Then he saw Sa Wuling getting up from his seat and walking forward with the test paper in hand.
"Is this the end of your answer?"
An official frowned.
Although the Daqing Palace Examination does not require a general examination, the Mansion Examination can take three to five days, especially after the old emperor canceled the on-the-spot examination, which only takes half a day.
But it was only more than an hour before the start, so the paper was handed in?
Is this still for the Wizards?
"oh?"
On the dragon chair, the old emperor also had a hint of interest. He suppressed the throbbing in his heart and chuckled:
"You finished answering the paper so quickly? It reminds me of a person...
Present the test paper. "
As soon as he waved his hand, a eunuch stepped forward to take the test paper.
Palace examination answer sheets usually have to be reviewed and approved by many examiners, and then ten copies are selected and submitted. But the old emperor broke the rules, so naturally no one dared to speak.
All the scholars were even more envious.
You must know that only ten test papers above the palace examination can be personally approved by the emperor's pen. Most people present will not have this opportunity.
"Forget it, I won't watch anymore."
The old emperor yawned, a little bored:
"Xiao Linzi, please listen to me."
As the day of blood transfusion approached, his energy was obviously low.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The eunuch bowed slightly and was about to recite.
At this sight, his body suddenly trembled, and his face suddenly turned pale:
"This, this, this..."
"Um?"
The old emperor raised his eyebrows slightly and pronounced with his nostrils:
"Why don't you read it?"
"Slaves, slaves, slaves don't dare..."
The eunuch's body was trembling, his legs were weak and he fell to his knees, sweating like rain:
"It's treasonous and unethical, it's treasonous and unethical!"
"What?"
All the officials in the palace were shocked, and the scholars all trembled when they heard this and couldn't help but look up.
How could it be possible to be treasonous?
The strategies tested in the palace examination were nothing more than words about governing the country and bringing peace to the world, mixed with praise for the emperor. Even if some people were arrogant and pointed out the shortcomings of the current politics, they could not be considered treasonous.
"Treason?"
The old emperor's face turned cold, and he looked coldly at Sa Wuling who was bowing his head:
"read!"
"The name of my strategy is the Ten Deadly Sins!"
The eunuch was trembling like chaff, but Sa Wuling slowly raised his head. The words Yan Xiake said came to his mind again, and he felt indignant for a moment.
He had been doing funerals for people for decades, and was used to seeing life and death, but the more he saw it, the more he became more awed.
I am extremely disgusted with things that wantonly trample on other people's lives and souls.
Ten deadly sins?
The expressions of all the ministers changed, and many people immediately opened their mouths and shouted loudly.
The old emperor slapped the imperial case hard, shocking the entire palace, and looked at Sa Wuling indifferently:
"I would like to hear what you have to say."
Between life and death, he was a mortal, but above this court, he was a well-deserved king. Looking at him indifferently at this time, he had an awe-inspiring aura that showed no anger and authority.
The ministers were a little frightened and did not dare to say anything.
But in Sa Wuling's opinion, it was nothing more than that. The blood evil's resentment made him feel more disgusted and hateful.
"You pretend to be a king, trust treacherous people, and poison the world. This is the first crime!"
"You cling to power, refuse to abdicate for a hundred years, and persecute your descendants. This is the second crime!"
"You are greedy for the way to immortality and have no interest in government affairs. Traitors and sycophants are rampant in the world, and the people are in dire straits. This is the third crime!"
...
Sa Wuling shouted loudly, the more he spoke, the more energetic he became, and the more he spoke, the more indignant he became.
On his way to Qingzhou, demons and ghosts killed many people, but many died from famine and bandits, and many were slaughtered by officials and gentry.
Scenes of tragic scenes could not help but appear in front of my eyes, my heart was filled with blood, and my worries were forgotten for a moment.
In fact, he has been practicing martial arts under the guidance of Mu Longcheng for several years.
Invisibly, the spirit has undergone a huge change. He is no longer the timid and greedy country man who loves to take advantage of small things.
Practicing spiritual practice is not only a change in strength and body, but more importantly, a transformation and sublimation of spiritual nature!
"Be bold! Be bold!"
The expressions of the officials in the palace changed wildly, and they loudly rebuked him.
But how could their voices compare with Sa Wuling's? Dozens of people's angry comments were suppressed by the angry shouts of one person, Sa Wuling.
All the scholars were dumbfounded, looking at Sa Wuling as if they had seen a ghost.
They had never seen such a bold person in their lives, who blatantly pointed at the current emperor during the palace examination.
Does this mean you don’t want to live?
"Guard, guard!"
One of the officials who was invigilating the exam looked so pale that he almost fell to the ground.
His name was Murong Yi, and he was a fellow student of Yan Xiake. It was precisely because of him that Sa Wuling was qualified to participate in the examination.
I thought I was just selling an old friend a favor, but how could I have imagined that something like this would happen?
My heart was shattered for a moment.
All the noise in the hall was suppressed by Sa Wuling's voice.
The expressions of many people changed, but the expressions of the Taoist priests surrounding the old emperor remained as usual, with a hint of joking in their eyes.
In their opinion, this scholar was just a fool who was blinded by blood.
They think they are loyal to the emperor and patriotic, but in fact they are nothing like that.
"enough!"
At first, the old emperor listened indifferently, but when the crimes were pointed out one after another, he finally couldn't help it and let out a loud shout:
"Pull him out of the Meridian Gate, behead him in public, no, execute him in Lingchi!"
Wow~
The soldiers of the brigade rushed into the main hall, swung their swords and enveloped Sa Wuling.
These soldiers are all highly skilled in martial arts. Looking at the world, there is no one who can defeat a hundred masters. Their attacks are extremely fast, and their hands and feet will be disabled first.
"...The world worships you as its king, but you feed on the flesh and blood of the people in the world. This is the tenth crime!"
Sa Wuling was calm and unafraid in the face of the sword. He spit out his ten sins and felt happy in his heart:
"Ten crimes shall be punished together, you old dog really deserve to die!"
His voice was rumbling, and he seemed to be sacrificing his life for righteousness, but at the moment when the sword light struck down, he suddenly stamped his foot, smashed the sword light path, and killed the two soldiers at the head.
Just run away!
"Master?"
Seeing this scene, several Tianyi Sect Taoists in front of and behind the old emperor sneered at the same time.
Two of them took action one after another, their swords roaring like dragons, and they were about to kill Sa Wuling on the spot.
Buzz~
At this moment, a calm and exciting sound of swords sounded.
This sound of sword clanging has no sonority at all, it is like spring breeze and drizzle, like the rising sun, like the full moon in the sky, soft, gentle and natural.
But Taoist Changqian standing behind the old emperor suddenly changed his expression:
"not good!"
Buzz buzz~
The sound of swords suddenly filled the hall, illuminating everything like light.
At this moment, the expressions of everyone in the hall were all frozen.
No, not only the people, but everything in the hall seemed to have fallen into absolute stagnation at this time.
Even the four Taoists of the Tianyi Sect, the sword light in the sky, and the dust in the air!
Everything is frozen in the air!
It seemed like time had stood still at this moment.
In a trance, a sword light appeared from nowhere. Once it appeared, it dominated everyone's eyes and became the only one in their world.
His sword was bright and not aggressive at all, but it contained endless killing intent!
In the sword light, there seemed to be two ghost fires burning.
When they saw the two will-o'-the-wisps, the old emperor's heart exploded, and he couldn't help but think of the assassin three years ago:
'you again? ! ! '
That time was the closest he came to death.
In the past three years, he would wake up countless times from his midnight dreams. At this time, he recognized Yan Xiake before Changqian Taoist.
Those evil obstacles, my heart will never die!
After three years, it is back again.
Through the cold sword light, one look at each other, and the overwhelming anger turned into the shortest four words:
"Old dog, suffer death!!!"
.......
At this time, it was also the time when Taoist Tianyi’s expression changed in Xishan!
Taoist Tianyi's face turned cold, his sword eyebrows stood upright, and he was full of momentum.
Boom!
In an instant, clouds and thunder exploded in the sky, and the air waves rolled and spread layer by layer with unknown geometry.
The entire Xishan Mountains were shaken, countless trees and plants were bent over, the ground was rippled, and snowflakes were flying into the sky.
"This is!"
Everyone's expressions changed and they turned to look in the direction of Qingdu City.
On top of Qingdu City, which was extended by the formation for an unknown length of time, a divine dragon of luck roared into the sky, and a sword light suddenly rose up from nowhere and slashed to an unknown direction!
The divine sword slays the dragon!
In a daze, everyone felt an extremely pure sword intent!
This sword is pure and cold, containing the cold determination to kill.
Even many real people couldn't help but feel a little surprised. With such pure sword intention, the person who took action was by no means an ordinary swordsman.
Kill the dragon?
There is such a great cultivator who wants to assassinate the emperor?
Is it difficult to kill a mortal emperor?
It is naturally extremely difficult for ordinary people to assassinate the king. Under the protection of the Taoist cultivators of God's Will, even ordinary monks have no chance to assassinate the old emperor.
As for the real person above Chengzhen, it may be possible to kill him, but let’s not talk about the threat of the God’s Will Sect.
The backlash of the humane dragon energy alone is enough to make them avoid it.
Although the theory of luck is mysterious, it actually exists. It may not be enough to achieve the legendary invulnerability effect.
But a backlash can be enough to drag down one's merits.
What's more, it is said that the Daqing Dynasty has the handiwork of Lord Netherworld, and it may not have other back-ups. No great practitioner will take this risk to kill a mortal emperor.
"You pissed me off!"
Taoist Tianyi suddenly stood up and looked at An Qisheng coldly with an angry expression.
He is proficient in innate calculations and can feel far more deeply than ordinary real people.
At this moment, he faintly felt the death energy of the old emperor. He was really dying!
This is the reason for his anger.
boom!
The breath rushed straight into the sky, the mighty breath cut through the sky, and the essence of heaven and earth within thousands of miles rolled in, like a tornado rising from the ground, swallowing thousands of miles of clouds!
When the Yuan Shen was angry, the situation in tens of thousands of miles suddenly changed.
In the vast Qingzhou, above thousands of cities, there seemed to be winds and clouds roaring, and the essence of heaven and earth raging.
boom!
Taoist Tianyi's words have not yet finished, and his anger has not yet been pointed out.
An Qisheng, who had been sitting quietly for a long time, slowly stood up, and the aura that had been accumulated in his body for a long time rose into the sky.
It's just a simple matter of getting up.
The expressions of many real people, including Master Dujie, all changed.
In a daze, it felt like the mountains on the earth were standing up together, and the vast seas were suspended upside down. It was even more like the sun rising in the sky, and the dragons soaring over the seas.
The brilliant light filled the mountains for a moment, illuminating all the Dharma altars and highlighting the heaven and earth here.
"What can you do to me?!"
