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

Chapter 380 Look Up
The Ziwei Palace felt much heavier today, with an invisible pressure weighing down, and all the officials were looking at him.

Facing one face after another, looking at the various expressions of appreciation, exploration, thought, and amusement on them, Liu Sheng walked towards the golden figure in the front.

Walking to the front, Liu Sheng bowed deeply.

She raised her head and saw the emperor smiling and nodding at her, and the empress and the empress dowager also showed appreciation.

"Mr. Liu, you are smart and I like you." The empress dowager smiled kindly.

[What does a smart-looking person look like…]

Liu Sheng thought to himself, keeping a polite smile on his face.

The Queen smiled and agreed, "Even though he won first place in the class, he didn't show any arrogance at all. Although he is young, he really has a great bearing."

As he said this, he looked at the eldest princess.

The princess curled her lips and said, "Yes, she doesn't show her emotions on her face. She is a good candidate for an official post."

Liu Sheng seemed not to hear the weird talk and stood quietly in front of the Ziwei Palace.

Listen to the emperor read out:
[In the ninth year of Jinghe, the second place in the first class of Jinshi was… Wen Xuanning from Chang’an. ]

[First place and second place in the literary examination, first place and second place in the martial arts examination]

It seems that Wen Xuanning has returned safely.

Liu Sheng sneered in his heart.

However, he also knew that he was most likely a very important part of the God-worshippers' plan. As long as these people were there, he would not be able to completely disappear.

But as long as she took everything he wanted, step by step.

And the things he had taken away, I tried to make him spit them out bit by bit...

But she needed a better plan.

Now, it’s the first step.

Wen Xuanning, who was at the end of the team, glanced at the black robe on his body, snorted coldly, and stepped forward.

Those students who had spoken ill of him just now realized that the disheveled madman was actually Wen Xuanning, and they couldn't help but feel regretful.

But for some reason, I felt happy to see that he was no longer as elegant as before.

It is human nature to put down those who are inferior and praise those who are superior.

If there wasn't Liu Sheng who was stronger than him, he might not have thought so.

But now I realize, what’s wrong with having a spiritual level of over 100?

Not invincible.

As a result, Wen Xuanning fell from the altar, and everyone was shocked to realize that he was just an ordinary person.

Liu Sheng looked at Wen Xuanning, who was dressed in black as if he had returned from hell. He walked towards her with a gloomy face and glanced at her coldly.

After saluting, he stood quietly behind her.

However, Liu Sheng could still feel that gaze, like a thorn in her flesh, piercing her back, as if it wanted to tear her flesh off.

However, Liu Sheng had experienced a lot, so she was not afraid of this kind of gaze that was staring at her from behind and wanted to tear her into pieces.

It would be better to go back to my third article and think about how to design empirical research on this strange energy and spiritual energy conversion model.

On the other side, listen to the roll call continue:

[In the ninth year of Jinghe, he was the third person in the first class of the imperial examination, and he was recorded in Lin Shuying of Chang'an.]

When Liu Sheng heard that Senior Sister Lin also won the first place, he was secretly happy.

Next is the list of the second class who will enter the palace.

The ranking is: Lu Shen, Yu Huan, Xu Dajuan, Chu Shudu, Xie Yan, Shen Ziyan, and Qu Chunyan.

Including the first class, there are ten people in total.

This was the end of the emperor's personal roll-out of names, and the rest was done by Hanshan Jun.

Only the top ten could meet the emperor in the Ziwei Palace, and the top three in the palace examination could receive the emperor's questions and personally bestow the jade scepter, and then be granted official positions on the spot.

However, this time, something was different.

The emperor simply asked a few questions about Liu Sheng's hometown and the contents of the test paper, and Liu Sheng answered them one by one.

"I remember that Mr. Liu has already published two very important argumentative articles."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Liu Sheng bowed.

"I have seen your test paper, and it seems that you have some clues about the conversion of spiritual energy and strange energy."

Liu Sheng nodded and said matter-of-factly, "That's true. Students are currently trying to solve the conversion model and will have the answer soon."

Be more humble and don’t say that the model is out, just wait for verification.

There was a sudden burst of discussion in the hall. This matter had been sought for hundreds of years, so how could there be an answer so soon?

The emperor smiled and thought that he was just a young man with a sense of youth who was deliberately showing off when meeting his father, which was why he was so arrogant.

"This matter is very important to the Tang Kingdom. I hope that Liu Zhuangyuan can produce results as soon as possible." The emperor smiled kindly, "I remember that Mei Yuanzheng has quite a lot of experience in this regard."

Mei Yuanzheng immediately came out, bowed and said, "Your Majesty is absolutely right."

"However, I have only gained some experience in the way of spiritual energy, and I am still exploring the strange energy. Maybe I need Liu Zhuangyuan to provide me with some new ideas."

The last sentence was said by Mei Yuanzheng with great sincerity. The emperor smiled and said, "Mei Yuanzheng has always been modest. Anyway, when Liu Zhuangyuan enters the National Academy, please give him some advice and guidance. Liu Zhuangyuan is a rare talent."

"I accept the decree."

When Liu Sheng heard this, she realized that the emperor wanted her to study directly under Mei Yuanzheng after entering the National Academy and participate in his project.

Of course Liu Sheng would be happy to take advantage of such a good opportunity.

She immediately said with a look of joy: "Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, the Director."

The emperor nodded and smiled: "Liu Zhuangyuan is a man of quick wit and meaningful words. The Tang Kingdom is in a critical moment and needs learned people like Liu Zhuangyuan. I hope you can finish your studies at the National Academy as soon as possible and serve the Tang Kingdom in the court."

This was a very high evaluation. Everyone in the hall had different expressions. The ministers in the court were deeply thoughtful, and the newly promoted Jinshi was envious.

Then the emperor bestowed something.

It is not a jade scepter, but a sacred book.

"I hope that Mr. Liu will not forget to look up when he is studying."

The emperor's words are quite meaningful.

Liu Sheng looked at the divine book in his hand, thoughtful.

Is the emperor hinting to her to study the Supreme God more, and try to decipher Him?

[That shouldn’t be the case…] The world muttered quietly.

When he arrived at Wenxuanning, the emperor asked him a few questions casually, said something polite to praise him as a pillar of the country, and then gave him an unsharpened sword.

It seemed to make up for the holy sword he lost.

"A gentleman's sword hides its edge within his body, and he advances and retreats with moderation."

Wen Xuanning smiled, accepted the thanks, and lowered his head to hide the coldness in his eyes.

As for Senior Sister Lin Shuying, she was given a small golden scale, hoping that she would inherit her father, Dali Temple's Shaoqing Lin's ability to be upright and impartial, and to praise the good and condemn the evil.

The other seven people each received a set of imperial writing brushes and ink.

In this way, the dialogue in the palace came to an end.

"Next, there will be a new ceremony for enthroning officials," the emperor announced.

……

"Should we start now?"

At this time, Nangong Wan stood on the city wall of Zeyang City, looking up at the supreme god in the sky.

The north wind was howling, sweeping across my clothes and cutting through the ice particles brought by the wind.

It was clearly summer, but it was snowing in Zeyang City. The sky was gradually darkening, and only a bright and clear face of God was left in the sky, looking down at everything indifferently.

A hundred miles north of Zeyang City is the Mobei army, staring at Zeyang City with eager eyes, like a giant beast ready to make a move.

But why not move?

The reason lies in the person standing next to Nangong Wan.

Taibai Sword Immortal.

He stayed here to guard, and although there were only a few thousand soldiers in the city, no one dared to go beyond the hundred miles.

But he would not act rashly, because the two countries had an agreement, and he could not give that woman an excuse to go north and fight.

"The plan of those people in the capital is about to begin."

Taibai Sword Immortal also looked up at the sky, looking at the indifferent face of the Supreme God. The piety in his heart was connected with his deepest fear, making him forever trapped in the torment of separation.

Even if one has a high level of cultivation like Taibai Sword Immortal, after one look from the Supreme God, he can only prostrate himself on the ground without saying a word.

But Nangong Wan did not have such a feeling, only unspeakable disgust and deep fear from the bottom of her heart.

"Oh..." Nangong Wan sighed.

"Several of your students are going up."

"Yes." Nangong Wan nodded, her face as cold as ice.

I have just received news from the capital and learned the final rankings of this year's imperial examination.

There are three students in the first class, two of whom are her students, and four of them are in the top ten, which is a really gratifying result.

Next year’s Huaishan training camp will probably be even more popular.

"But that girl named Liu Sheng..." Taibai Sword Immortal shook his head and looked at Nangong Wan and said, "Aren't you worried?"

But Nangong Wan looked up at the sky and didn't speak for a long time.

Then, the pupils vibrated, shaking with shattered fear.

Taibai Sword Immortal felt something and also looked up at the sky.

My heart was shaken.

The face of God that had existed in the sky for three hundred years gradually turned into a faint shadow and almost melted into the night sky, leaving only a vague outline.

Instead, there was an illusory door.

There is also a staircase leading to the main door.
