"Before announcing the results, I would like to thank you all for killing the [Rat Mother] and resolving a world-ending disaster."
"According to the previous promise, all the candidates who participated in the siege of the Rat Mother can have their merits recorded in our Wanfa Sect. The first merit is Ge Xian. In the future, they can come to the sect to receive an unowned wilderness as a training ground."
Priest Kunpeng, who spoke in the middle, spat out these two sentences.
Suddenly, the faces of the other unlucky candidates showed signs of astonishment.
What?
Were the examinees able to deal with the evil goddess Rat Mother and the millions of rats under her command?
And the leader is still Ge Xian?
Xie Dezhen, Yelu Yufeng and other second-generation nobles, although they did not catch up with the excitement this time, they all reacted quickly and guessed that the key to solving the problem of the Rat Mother was the Wanyu Divine Serum, which was to invite the gods.
They couldn't invite him, but Yuan Dayong could, and it seemed that he was immediately captured by the mother rat and put into the rat's nest.
Now that I'm fine, I might be able to participate.
If there are candidates who are familiar with him, they immediately contact Chuanying to inquire about the relevant details.
It's a pity that they don't know what Yuan Dayong went through.
This question opened up the scars in his heart, his face became extremely ugly, and he recovered immediately.
An ordinary person would be furious at this time and would not answer.
But after Yuan Dayong came out of the rat nest, his temperament changed somewhat. The explosive fire energy belonging to the "ancient vicious ape" in his body was wiped away, and he became gloomy and cold.
Not only did he not refuse, he also didn't hide it.
Very calmly, the scene where Ge Xian teamed up with Wang Bao, Chang Broken Skull, and Zhishan Taoist, candidates who could summon the gods from outside the world, used the secret treasure [Moon Mother Mirror] to attack the rat mother, encircle and kill them, and informed them through the sound transmission. A bunch of unlucky candidates.
As for his experience, he mentioned it lightly.
Fortunately, none of the people who knew about this, including Ge Xian, Wang Bao and the others, or the eighteen examiners, liked to gossip. No one ridiculed him and just pretended not to have seen it.
The second-generation candidates were all focused on Ge Xian and were so surprised that they didn't notice anything was wrong.
Moving on, the examiners’ voices continued:
"The results of the third [Divine Prison Examination] of this imperial examination are as follows."
"The top one is Ge Xian, who has seventeen gods canonized."
"Wang Bao followed closely, and the number of canonized gods was three."
"The Supreme Good Taoist is here again, and the number of canonized figures is two."
…
Although all the candidates already knew the number of gods Ge Xian canonized in advance, they still felt deeply shocked at this time.
What is the gap? That's it.
The number of canonized gods combined among the top ten on the list is actually less than that of Ge Xian.
If it were another exam, people might suspect cheating.
But how does this "canonized god" cheat?
It's impossible, it can only show how weird and powerful this guy is, especially with the previous examples as evidence.
"After the three major exams and the three rankings were combined into one, your results are as follows."
"The number one scholar, Ge Xian."
"Second place on the list, Wang Bao."
"Tanhua, the most good Taoist."
…
"Each of you will join the [Ten Thousand Laws Searching God Division], and you will all become the God Searching Officers who command a party, and all creatures including humans, ghosts, gods, etc. must obey orders."
"Everyone can go to the court first, accept the canonization of the Emperor of the Great Yuan Dynasty, and enjoy some human happiness."
"After three days, come back to the Wanfa Temple and accept the deployment."
"In the future, this world will be protected by you all."
…
After some thanks, all the candidates were sent out of the Wanfa Sect Main Temple.
Before they could react, many servants and female officials who had been waiting for a long time outside the temple gathered together.
With great respect, even flattery, every candidate was welcomed into the court.
It was a coincidence that the person responsible for fetching Ge Xian was the same male fox attendant who took Ge Xian to the [Treasure House of the Earth] to select treasures.
When he was in the treasure house, although he was polite to Ge Xian for Tuotuo's sake, he was not very enthusiastic.
But now, this arrogant servant who usually served the masters in the palace wanted to bend his back in front of Ge Xian, with a face that looked quite handsome, full of flattery.
The scene at the other candidates' offices was similar.
This caused everyone to have doubts. Although the [Searching Spirit Officer] was indeed the first official position in the Ohara Dynasty, the power it held was also extraordinary.
But now it is the Ohara Dynasty that dominates the secular world. Ordinarily, these palace servants should not be so flattering.
Seemingly sensing the doubts in Ge Xian and other candidates' minds, the male fox attendant quietly sent a message and said:
"Master Ge, don't doubt it, it is a great thing."
"A day ago, His Majesty and the Chief Priest of the Wanfa Sect jointly agreed that the Wanfa Sect Priest will be completely independent from the Great Yuan Dynasty and will not be subject to the control of any noble officials."
"Even His Majesty has decreed and promised to give up the power of life and death over the spiritual officials."
"The only one who can control the spirit-searching priests will be the Wanfa Sect."
"The grades mentioned earlier will also be upgraded. The top three will go straight to the first grade."
"That is to say, Master Ge will be a first-rank official from the moment he sets foot in the court."
"It's a great joy and a miracle that has never happened to me in the Great Yuan Dynasty."
"My slave is following you, so I am enjoying the glory."
After hearing these words, Ge Xian couldn't help but show surprise on his face.
The other candidates had obviously heard the letter from the attendants, and they all had the same expression.
Both happy and worried.
None of the people present were stupid or dull, and they all guessed the reason for this accident in an instant.
Ohara Chao!
The situation is dire.
Although the emperor sitting on the throne now is a foolish emperor who is really addicted to pleasure, most of the emperors throughout the ages, whether they are wise emperors or foolish emperors, regard everything under the world as their own.
If power can't be delegated, then we won't.
The Wanfa Sect was able to force the emperor to retreat almost to the point of no return. It was completely imaginable what a dangerous situation the [Da Yuan Dynasty] was in.
"It seems that during the Lingguan imperial examination, the rebels have made great progress."
"The Ohara Dynasty has reached a moment of life and death."
While Ge Xian was muttering in his mind, he glanced at Chang Shaoshou, Baihua Monk and Wu Zao.
Sure enough, there was no worry in the eyes of the three rebels, but mostly joy.
Soon, a group of candidates followed the introduction and officially entered the court of the Ohara Dynasty, the human court that dominated the secular world.
All civil and military officials, including princes and princes, are all present in the palace.
At the top were His Majesty the Emperor and the extremely favored "Fantasy Concubine".
Ordinary monks, even those in the Mortal Realm, will inevitably feel nervous after entering this hall.
But this group of candidates who have passed the brutal exam are not afraid of this.
Not to mention that most of them were civil and military officials who worshiped the "Gods of Ten Thousand Laws". Even the Emperor of the Dayuan Dynasty, who claimed to have the "Red Crow Holy Body", was not considered "powerful" in the eyes of everyone.
Before the second big exam begins, it is calculated.
But each of them has now seen the existence of at least dozens of "extraterrestrial evil gods", and fully knows that compared with the evil gods, the emperor of the Great Yuan Dynasty in the holy realm, even if he has not yet indulged in the Ultimate Bliss Sect, is still in his heyday. They are nothing more than chickens and dogs.
Of course, they have seen it before, and the power of the evil god will not be transferred to them, so they still have to be treated with courtesy.
So the next breath, all the candidates saluted together.
Emperor Ohara Shun, who was sitting on the throne at the head, looked at the candidates with a blank expression.
He had very mixed feelings about this group of young geniuses who were about to take up the post of "Searching Spirit Officers".
The yamen of Soushensi is changing too fast.
In the beginning, Tuotuo Jinyan was to be established, and his speech could help the Dayuan Dynasty continue its life.
He agreed, and then under the influence of Concubine Huan, Bie'er Yongbuhua and others, he decided to take control of the new yamen himself in order to further consolidate his imperial power.
Who would have thought that it would later be favored by Wanfa Sect and become shared by both parties.
Until one day ago!
The Wanfa Sect went so far as to deceive others, directly depriving him, the Emperor of the Great Yuan Dynasty, of all his power over the [Wanfa Search God Division].
As long as life and death were not taken away, even the "power of command" was also taken away.
In other words, he is a dignified emperor, but now he is not qualified to command any young people below him.
After being bullied like this, he couldn't sit still, and he didn't even dare to curse Wanfa Jiao in his heart.
No way, even though he is the common master of the world, he is still a rare monk in the "Holy Manifestation Realm".
But that's just the surface. It should be noted that he also worshiped God.
To a certain extent, he is no different from other candidates. Even if he is thrown into the endless burrow rat mother disaster, he will be included in the ranks of Xie Dezhen and Yelu Yufeng, this unlucky group of people.
"Tuotuo is right!"
"The Lingguan Imperial Examination can indeed summon the most talented monks in the world. This position is all the heroes of the human race. If used well, they can make great achievements and continue their destiny for our Dayuan Dynasty."
"No matter how many methods teach you to fight for love with a sword, they will not be used by me."
"What a shame!"
After muttering in his heart, the emperor suddenly looked at Tuotuo, with a rare trace of guilt appearing deep in his eyes.
When he was young, he was quite wise and had a sharp eye.
Therefore, it can be seen that these talented monks in the temple can play a big role.
But he couldn't steal the Wanfa teachings, so he had no choice but to give up.
After calling the candidates to stand up, Emperor Shun, somewhat uninterested, motioned to the chief steward beside him to read out the imperial edict.
So the next breath, the whole court listened:
"This [Lingguan Imperial Examination] will be completed today."
"Ge Xian, as the number one scholar, is granted the title of a first-grade spiritual officer and is given a gold seal."
"Wang Bao, second on the list, will be granted a first-grade spiritual officer title and a silver seal."
"The Supreme Good, the position of Tanhua, the title of a first-grade spiritual officer, and the bronze seal."
…
It is said to be an imperial edict, but in fact it is a retelling of the rankings that everyone has heard in the main temple.
The only difference is the large number of rewards.
Starting from the number one scholar Ge Xian, glory and wealth came in the blink of an eye.
We have everything you need, including treasures, beauties, slaves, and luxurious mansions, and we give them all we can.
If we only talk about the "material enjoyment" in the secular world, Ge Xian, a salesman from Qiantang County, directly caught up with the prime minister Tuotuo because of an imperial examination.
Unfortunately, those treasures may be very rare and precious to ordinary humans or ordinary monks.
But for them, it is meaningless.
At least Ge Xian didn't care at all.
But as the imperial edict continued, Ge Xian gradually noticed that the eyes around him gradually became eager.
There were even some impatient people who didn't care about the people above the court and directly sent messages to Ge Xian to win over him.
Some married their daughters, some asked for alliances, and some even said they wanted to join Ge Xian's command.
Listen to these transmissions!
Ge Xian suddenly felt that he had underestimated the new yamen [Wanfasou Shensi] before. No, I am afraid it is not a yamen anymore, but a brand new yamen supported by Wanfa Sect, which can unlimitedly suck blood from the Great Yuan Dynasty. power.
Just by looking at these first group of members, one can vaguely predict what this force will look like in the future.
And he, Ge Xian, is the leader among the first batch of members.
The top spiritual official!
It is completely normal for officials with a little knowledge and skills to win over him.
If he turns a deaf ear and does not respond to anyone, he will in turn offend these people.
But at this time, there was a faint cold snort coming from the hall:
"snort!"
"Colleagues, Ge Xiaozi is already my son-in-law, Tuotuo. Please be less respectful."
Tuotuo's rescue made Ge Xian and Fugui next to him blush.
The two of them knew that there was no way to hide it from Tuotuo. After all, he worshiped the [Prime Minister of Wanfa Tianshu], and he was also the living successor of this spiritual god who was extremely proud of him.
I just didn't expect that I would be seen through as soon as they met.
After the imperial edict is read, the court affairs are completed.
The candidates dispersed under a large number of eager eyes, waiting to go to the main temple to join the job and receive their errands three days later.
But the excitement has not ended, on the contrary, it has just begun.
The Wanfa Sect seems to have made up its mind to completely establish the name of the "Wanfa Sou Shen Si" and let the world and hundreds of millions of human beings completely accept the special existence of the Sou Shen Si.
In the future, spiritual officials will be superior to all mundane yamen and forces.
In order for people to accept this, they naturally need to realize the power and importance of spiritual officials.
Propaganda outside [Dadu] was left to the dilapidated but still huge war machine of the Ohara Dynasty.
In most cities, there are major spiritual temples.
Every candidate will benefit from this.
The biggest beneficiary is Ge Xian.
Become famous all over the world in one fell swoop!
Although he had some reputation originally, it was nothing compared to his reputation now and in the future.
In the examination room for the first major exam, in half of the city with hundreds of thousands of residents, the word Ge Xian was almost indistinguishable from "god".
The poor people all know who took in the Hundred Gu God, the Nightmare Spider Queen and a bunch of evil spirits. They also all know who used the secret method to find all the evil spirits in the city and eliminate them completely.
That is to say, Ge Xian is not dead yet. If he died suddenly at this time, he could become a god on the spot just by relying on such a reputation.
Of course, they are the lowest kind of gods, such as land and city gods.
…
The number one scholar in ordinary imperial examinations will take a tour of Flower Street.
Ge Xian and others will certainly not go.
I just took my two sisters with me and followed Tuotuo back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
On the way, Tuotuo suddenly took out the [Tianshu Treasure Map] and handed it to Bai Fugui, and then ordered her to go to Tianshu Shangxianglingshen Main Temple to say something important.
See this scene!
Ge Xian had a suspicion in his mind. He sensed it when he was in the palace. Tuotuo seemed a little anxious and wanted to explain something.
After returning home, he soon learned the reason.
Tuotuo stared at Ge Xian for a while, then with a look of relief on his face, nodded with satisfaction and said:
"Ever since you came from Qiantang, I knew that you were an extraordinary person. This is why, even though I knew you had no good feelings for me, Dayuan Dynasty, you still helped me many times."
"My Lord has already informed me of my performance in the three major exams and the elimination of the Rat Mother disaster in the Divine Prison."
"Everyone in the Wanfa Sect is considering entrusting you with an important task."
"If you propose to rebuild the [Yinglongling Temple] at this time, the gods will not reject it and will definitely agree to it. They will even go to the Kunlun Dragon Nest and Sihai Dragon Palace for you to convince the Dragon Father and the Dragon Mother. God made Yinglong Spirit God come back to earth again."
"Although I proposed the Wanfa Search Divine Division above, I didn't expect it to develop like this."
"Decades from now!"
"At least until the new dynasty is established, you spirit-seeking officials will be the most powerful earthly gods in the world, which is another extraordinary scene."
"It's a pity that I can't even see it."
When these words were heard, even Ge Xian couldn't help but look dull for a moment.
New dynasty?
can not see?
Who would have thought that such words would come out of the mouth of the then Prime Minister.
Fortunately, he was in the Prime Minister's Mansion. If he were above the court, even with Tuotuo's status, he would definitely be impeached by the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and sentenced to death.
Tuotuo ignored his surprise and continued:
"It's not surprising. Even His Majesty now knows that the destiny of the Ohara Dynasty has come to an end."
"Not only are the vast territories of our Dayuan Dynasty and many provinces, rebels and rebels are emerging everywhere, but the same is true for those brothers in the Golden Horde. There is no sign of salvation."
"All the provinces in the south are now out of control, and the provinces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang have completely fallen into the hands of the rebels. Zhang, including Zhang, is trapped in Qiantang and may fall and die at any time."
"Tomorrow I will personally lead the army of twelve witch gods and go south to conquer the rebels."
"I am sure to solve the crisis in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. I can even defeat Zhang Shicheng's army of dragon monsters and those evil god rebels one by one."
"It's a pity that I can't solve Ohara Chao's Qi Shu dilemma, and I can't even save myself... If nothing unexpected happens, once I leave, I will never come back."
Hear this.
How could Ge Xian not react?
Tuotuo, I'm afraid I want to be alone.
Listening to his words, it was clear that he had predicted his death in advance.
As a living disciple of the Prime Minister of the Wanfa Tianshu, he indeed has extraordinary powers of foreknowledge. It is only normal that he can know his own fate in advance.
But what Ge Xian didn't expect was that it would come so quickly.
What is even more incomprehensible is that since it has been predicted, why not try to solve it?
Bai Fugui was actually raised by Tuo Tuo, and he was as generous as a mountain of kindness. Now that Tuo Tuo showed his will to die, Ge Xian subconsciously wanted to call Fu Gui back.
With just one glance, Tuotuo understood what Ge Xian was thinking and directly waved his hand and said:
"Don't act rashly, let alone act like a child."
"I have given the [Tianshu Treasure Map] to Fugui, and there is a clone of me in it, and I have my own farewell account."
"Although Fugui does not want to worship Tianshu as Prime Minister, after my repeated requests, my master and my master are still willing to give her some inheritance benefits. Now she has been transported to the [Tianshu Divine Realm] to accept the inheritance. .”
"If you don't use this little trick, you will inevitably end up dragging your feet, crying and crying, and you won't like the truth."
After hearing this, Ge Xian knew that Tuotuo had made up his mind and could no longer persuade him.
After sighing and thinking for a few moments, Ge Xian couldn't help but ask: "Since you are the strongest monk in the world, and you are also extremely favored by Prime Minister Tianshu. You already know this, so why don't you try to avoid it?"
As soon as he finished asking, Tuotuo smiled casually and said:
"If you predict the outcome in advance, can you avoid it?"
"If I told you to avoid it, would you still have known it beforehand?"
"Of course, it's not impossible to avoid it by force, but that doesn't mean I can escape."
"You can be considered a great monk now, so you should know the evil of [evil habit]."
"You have seen those evil god monks with many evil habits, but you have never seen one as special as mine."
"I, Tuotuo, have all my Taoist cultivation and magical powers, all of which came from the Great Yuan Dynasty."
"I must be buried with Ohara Chao."
"No!"
When he said the last sentence, Tuotuo suddenly shook his head in denial.
Immediately, he added another sentence:
"I will die before Ohara Dynasty!"
"After my death, this huge and rotten human dynasty will collapse as quickly as possible. Except for the suffering of human civilians, everyone else will prosper."
"Every time there are turbulent times when dynasties change, a large number of Dharma veins will sprout and prosper, and the number of monks will also increase dramatically."
"In addition, the number of extraterrestrial visitors will also skyrocket."
"Vicious realms like the [Unowned Wilderness] will appear in large numbers."
"Then it will be up to you, the god-seeking officials, to maintain order in the secular world. A lot of humans will die, half, or even most of them, possibly, but as long as you can maintain the order and barely prevent it from collapsing... After decades of entanglement The melee will eventually give birth to a new dynasty that can solve all problems from the rotting corpse of the Ohara dynasty."
"If you can't maintain order, then everything will come to an end. For those evil gods from outside the world, a small world like this is already very weak."
"A disaster like the [Rat Mother Disaster] can destroy everything if it comes just once."
…
Tuotuo's sentence is undoubtedly a prophecy that spans decades.
Obviously, he was completely desperate to save Ohara.
As for the future of the secular world, he is also extremely pessimistic.
