Chapter 183 Approaching the Gods (Part ) (Updated)

"Get up, don't sleep anymore."

In my dream, someone was patting my shoulder gently.

Liu Sheng slowly raised his head from the table and yawned loudly.

"Wake up! The high priest told you to copy the sacred book carefully, but what did you do? Did you fall asleep while copying?"

Liu Sheng was still a little confused when he was suddenly scolded.

Trying hard to lift his heavy eyelids, a thin female face appeared in front of Liu Sheng, with two squinting eyes full of disgust hanging above her high cheekbones.

She was wearing a gray cloth dress, very simple.

"Well, okay." Liu Sheng seemed to vaguely remember that he had such a task and felt a little embarrassed.

"Forget it, the high priest is calling you." The woman seemed a little dissatisfied with this, and Liu Sheng even saw a little jealousy in her eyes, "You go find him first, put the scriptures aside, and continue copying when you come back."

After saying this, the woman left in a hurry.

She pinched her neck with her hands and looked at the woman's back, feeling really confused.

I had been sleeping on the table, with my face pressed down and my neck a little sore.

Just now, I seemed to have had a very long dream, in which I dreamed that I was taking an imperial examination.

It is a world where one can practice cultivation and has strange things. It is really amazing.

Liu Sheng recalled everything in his dream and smiled to himself.

【Do you think it was a dream? 】

Liu Sheng was startled, but when she looked around, she found that she was the only one in this dim study.

This study was very simple. There was a small window on the wall, letting in a ray of light. There were only two bookshelves with a few books placed on them in a disorderly manner, and many shelves were empty.

There is a desk and a cushion in the middle.

This is where she just lay down to sleep.

There was an oil lamp on the table, illuminating a large thick book and a half-copied parchment on it.

She is the only one alive here.

Oh, and maybe a family of mice cowering among the bookshelves.

She almost subconsciously wanted to ask who was speaking, but a strong warning told her that it was absolutely impossible.

【Who are you? 】

[You also said that you are the only one alive, so of course I am you. ]

Liu Sheng was almost confused.

She pretended nothing had happened, walked out of the study, and went to the office of the high priest in her memory.

Continue to talk to the being in your head as you walk.

【Let’s go back to the beginning. What you mean is that my dream is not a dream? 】

【Think back to yourself, would a dream have so many details? 】

At this time, bursts of bells rang outside the corridor, solemn and holy.

Liu Sheng paused for a moment, and suddenly remembered that when he walked into the imperial examination room in his dream, there were also bursts of sounds in his ears, but they were not the sound of bells, but some kind of...

【The sound of a jade chime.】

[I have never seen...]

【Then, think about it again. 】

Then, Liu Sheng continued walking along the corridor.

Looking back on my dream, I was also walking in the corridors with desks and rooms, following many people.

Everyone was looking for their seats according to the test instructions.

What is Kaoyin?

Liu Sheng was puzzled.

【continue. 】

Then, according to the "Xuan" column, No. 39, on the exam citation, she found her desk and sat on the cushion beside it.

[This is a bit like the desk in the study just now. ]

There were pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the desk, and she was quietly waiting for the test results to be revealed.

But we have to wait until everyone is inside before we can start. It will take some time for thousands of people to enter the examination room at the same time.

She looked up and saw a beaded curtain hanging in the distance ahead, with five shadowy figures behind it.

I guess that must be the examiner. Liu Sheng could still smell the faint scent of burning incense in the examination room, which seemed to have a special ingredient that made him calm down.

After everyone was seated, the officials stood around.

The beaded curtain moved slightly, and someone inside said, "The ninth year of Jinghe's imperial examination has officially begun."

The voice sounded very old, and Liu Sheng felt that it should be an old man.

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of the jade chime rang out again.

The burning incense became stronger and stronger, and purple air lingered in the examination room, making people drowsy.

Then, Liu Sheng fell asleep...

[So, with so many details, do you still think it's a dream? ]

Now, Liu Sheng woke up without needing to be reminded.

His eyes instantly changed from dazed to sharp.

【So, this exam is an illusion. 】

She thought with certainty.

[We will know what kind of illusion it is later. ]

At the end of the corridor is the high priest's room.

……

"This candidate should be the one who wakes up the fastest, right?"

Minister Li was surprised. The change in his eyes was a very obvious signal.

"Yes, it only took a cup of tea." Master Yan also noticed it.

At this moment, the jade box in front of them opened, and a bright divine light poured out. Above them were thousands of mirages, covering the sky and the earth, showing the performance of these examinees who were now sleeping at their desks in the illusion.

Although there were many mirages, they were still able to take care of them as they were already at the Dongxuan realm or above.

Currently, most of the candidates are still in the stage of being awakened from a daze. They have not yet realized that they are in an exam, but they are acting in an orderly manner based on the memories given to them by the illusion.

"This is the first time we use this format, and I don't know if they can adapt to it."

Hanshan Jun glanced casually at the candidate who woke up the fastest from the illusion, and saw "Xuan Thirty-Nine, Liu Sheng" written in the lower right corner of the mirage, and nodded silently.

"Whether you can adapt to it or not, this is His Majesty's intention."

Mei Yuanzheng said lazily, leaned back and looked upwards.

There's a roof blocking the view, so you can't see anything.

But he knew that the existence was also looking down at him.

……

“This is not just what I mean.”

“It is God’s will.”

A middle-aged man sitting upright on the imperial couch said.

He was dressed in a golden dragon robe, with a gold-thread jade crown on his head. He held two shiny jade beads in his hands, which he was spinning very fast. He was looking at the thousands of large mirages in front of him with a focused and serious expression.

Sitting on the left side of the imperial couch was a middle-aged woman with fair skin, beautiful appearance and elegant demeanor. She was wearing a crimson long skirt embroidered with gold and a peacock crown decorated with red coral and gold on her head. From the auspicious dragon pattern embroidered on her skirt, it was known that she and the middle-aged man were both members of the royal family.

At this moment, she was facing the tea table, her fair neck lowered, carefully boiling water and making tea, and from time to time she glanced at the mirage, seemingly not very interested.

"My brother, your majesty has done a lot of hard work. I believe that people all over the world will know about it sooner or later."

The emperor knew that his sister's words were just words of comfort, so he smiled bitterly and shook his head: "You, don't worry at all."

"Your Majesty, just worry about it. I am just a woman, why should I worry so much?"

"Then you're not worried about your..."

"Don't worry. With a spiritual level of over 100, it is the closest to God. Is there any need to worry?" The woman smiled gently, without a trace of fine lines at the corners of her eyes, and her demeanor was still like that of a young girl.

"Haha, that's right." The emperor laughed heartily.

Suddenly, his eyes fixed and he uttered a soft "eh".

"How is it? Did you see anyone interesting?" the woman asked as she lowered her head to serve tea.

"It's really interesting." The emperor fixed his eyes on one of the mirages and said casually, "She has woken up, but I think Xuan Ning hasn't yet. It's interesting."

Hearing this, the woman's delicate hand that was serving tea trembled slightly, and a few drops spilled onto the edge of the tea bowl.

"Really?" She smiled faintly, gently wiped away the traces of tea with a handkerchief, and looked up.
