The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 182 Approaching the Gods (Part )

After a lot of effort, all ten names were finally sung.

As they listened, many people lost interest and left.

Liu Sheng had no interest at first, but when he suddenly heard his own name added at the end, his eyes widened slightly in surprise.

[Are there people who care about us, the small fish and shrimp? ]

[This pig brother or monkey brother said what this list is for observation and backup, who is observing? What are the backups? ]

【The details are unclear.】

[How could anyone observe us, such a low-key little person? ]

The same question arises in everyone's mind.

"Who is this Liu Sheng?"

"Other people have taken it to the academy, why didn't she? Has she never been to the academy?"

Liu Sheng was also curious about how to explain it, so he remained silent.

"She graduated and left the academy a long time ago, so she is not affiliated with the academy." Brother Zhu said, "I heard that it is because she has two articles on "Cultivation Theory" in her hands..."

There was an uproar in the yard.

"Hiss, two articles..."

"So scary!"

"I just got my manuscript rejected, so I might as well find a place to bury it..."

"It's a pity that there are only bluestone slabs here. We can't dig and bury them." Another person reminded coldly.

In this way, everyone can understand why "Liu Sheng" appears on the list.

Before entering the National Academy, many people had no idea of ​​publishing academic works, nor did they have the opportunity, so Liu Sheng, who published two articles, was considered an outlier.

Liu Sheng looked around and saw that Ling Yuke, who had just looked so proud, now had a complicated expression, so he stopped looking at her.

Gao Yisheng and her fellow seniors already knew about this and did not have any special reaction. They just nodded and smiled at her.

Wang Dongdong was furious: "Why didn't you tell me there was another one?"

"forget……"

Suddenly, a hand reached out from behind, bent the index finger and tapped her head gently.

"Junior Sister Liu, you're here early." Zhong Youzhi's voice rang out.

Liu Sheng rubbed his head and said unhappily, "Senior Brother Zhong, you arrived too late."

"It's okay? There's no exam anyway."

Zhong Youzhi was smiling ecstatically, still wearing all that golden clothes. His hands trembled, and when he tried to open his folding fan, he realized that he hadn't brought anything with him.

Not far away, Senior Brother Lu Shen and his senior brother Zhang Huaiyi also appeared in the courtyard.

Before Senior Brother Lu could speak, Zhang Huaiyi saw Liu Sheng and shouted, "Junior Sister Liu Sheng!"

Everyone was startled by the shout, and then they realized that the name sounded familiar.

"Isn't this the tenth place just now..."

"Brother Monkey, no Brother Zhu, didn't you say she was just any nobody at the beginning? And you even knew the faces of the top candidates on the list of possible winners?" Someone reminded Brother Zhu.

Brother Zhu coughed awkwardly and made up a far-fetched excuse: "Maybe I bought a reprint, and the picture was printed a little crooked..."

"Oh……"

Everyone dispersed disappointed, thinking that this was some well-informed person with inside information, but it turned out that he had just bought a tabloid.

"However, I often go to bookstores to read various newspapers and magazines, so why have I never seen this kind of tabloid? Eh? Brother Monkey, not Brother Pig, where is he?" Gao Yisheng questioned, but when he turned around, the young man with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks was gone.

Liu Sheng was originally gathering with his senior brothers and sisters, avoiding everyone's sight, and took the opportunity to introduce his good friend Wang Dongdong to them.

However, at the moment when that person disappeared, she noticed everything, and instantly realized something, and her eyes shot towards the Dragon Gate like lightning.

……

Behind the Dragon Gate, in the huge examination room, two people were already sitting on the examiner's seats covered by a pearl curtain in the front.

"I didn't expect this little girl to be so perceptive." The old man in the middle stroked his long gray beard and looked out the window. He smiled under his beard and put a small paper figurine into his sleeve. "Mei Yuanzheng... why do you have to come down and tease them in person?"

The old man was Mei Yuanzheng from the National Academy. The middle-aged female official sitting next to him asked with a helpless look on her face.

"Master Yan, don't you think it's interesting to see how they react?" Mei Yuanzheng laughed, "Besides, it might be even more interesting to tell certain people that someone is watching them."

"Does the dean want to watch the fun?" Master Yan asked curiously.

"perhaps……"

Mei Yuanzheng suddenly sensed something and sneered, "They are finally here."

At this time, the door on the other side of the examination room opened, and three middle-aged men in official uniforms walked behind the beaded curtain.

"Master Meiyuan." The person in the middle bowed first.

"Minister Li." Mei Yuanzheng responded in a friendly manner.

It was just that their eyes met and a fierce spark flew.

Others also greeted each other.

Although there are undercurrents, they are just undercurrents after all, and superficial courtesy is indispensable.

In the middle was the Minister of Rites, Li Shangshu, who was holding a jade box emitting a bright divine light, and handling it carefully. It was obvious that this item was extraordinary.

The two people beside him, one of them was dressed in white and had an extraordinary demeanor. He was the famous cabinet minister Jun Hanshan, but everyone liked to call him "Jun Hanshan".

The other man was a thin middle-aged man with a tired face. He had bags under his eyes and dark circles, as if he had been up all night long. This was the Minister of Works Ling Fu.

As soon as Minister Ling arrived, he looked intently at the candidates in the academy, his expression as serious as when he usually studied the art of refining equipment.

"Minister Ling is looking at his daughter! After not seeing her for a few days, I think Minister Ling, who is famous for loving his daughter like his life, must miss her very much."

Speaking with a smile on his face, Minister Li placed the jade box on the table in front of Mei Yuanzheng, and leisurely sat down in the seat next to Mei Yuanzheng, which was also at the top.

No one dared to say anything about this unprecedented seating arrangement and could only treat it as a normal occurrence.

Han Shanjun smiled and said, "Fortunately, Minister Ling has always been upright and honest, otherwise His Majesty would not have allowed him to appear here without any scruples."

Ling Fu hummed twice casually without commenting, withdrew his gaze from a certain figure, sat quietly, and did not participate in the conversation.

Everyone was used to Ling Fu's temper and didn't care too much.

Mei Yuanzheng said coldly: "You mean Prime Minister Wen is not upright? That's why he didn't let his son come to take the exam?"

Minister Li was choked, but still had a gentle smile on his face: "Prime Minister Wen is busy with government affairs, and Your Majesty feels sorry for him, so he was not arranged to come here to supervise the exam."

"So you guys are all just sitting around doing nothing?"

Mei Yuanzheng said this out of the blue, causing Minister Li and Han Shanjun to cough repeatedly.

The other officials who were filing in also hurriedly coughed and looked up at the sky, pretending not to hear.

Only Minister Ling was left, staring blankly, not knowing what he was thinking.

And Yan Lai, the Grand Secretary of the National Academy next to him, looked at his nose and his heart, pretending not to hear.

"Since all the adults are here and the divine objects have been bestowed, can the candidates enter?" Master Yan didn't like to listen to all this nonsense, so he frowned and asked directly.

"Can……"

Before Minister Li finished speaking, Mei Yuanzheng asked bluntly.

"Wait, you guys know how to use this God-given thing?"

"Of course I can. Your Majesty has just taught me personally in the palace." Minister Li said in a gentle voice, emphasizing only slightly on the word "Your Majesty".

Mei Yuanzheng understood the hidden meaning of the words, and said nothing more. He just nodded solemnly.

Then, Minister Li nodded slightly to the official beside the jade chime. After receiving the order, the official hurriedly struck the jade chime.

The sound of the chimes was clear and melodious, one after another, echoing throughout the Imperial Examination Hall.

Under the plaque of "Longmen", the heavy door finally opened.

Liu Sheng looked at the deep examination room inside the door and thought, "Finally, it's here."
