Chapter 139
"Friendly" After the negotiation, Lin Kong smiled and let go of his hand, and returned to the examination table.
The current emperor finally recovered his breath, stood firm, and said:"Continue the examination, thanks to this candidate's help, I am fine."
After saying that, he came to the dragon chair desk and sat down
""Yes!"
All the candidates and officials in the hall responded.
Then, the test time continued. The total test time was only two hours. These two hours were very tense for everyone present.
No, to be exact, except for Lin Kong and Wang Huo above the palace, everyone else was very nervous!
For the candidates, this was a moment that concerned their fate. When answering the papers, they would always feel excited and nervous, fearing that they would not do well in the exam, but they could not help but imagine the glory of passing the exam and becoming the top scholar.
As for the ministers and eunuchs who were invigilating the exam, they were nervous. It was because he was present.
These days, the rumor that the emperor was frightened by an evil ghost and became easily frightened and angry spread like wildfire throughout the court and the public.
They were afraid that if they were not careful, they would be killed!
As for the emperor's nervousness at the time, it was entirely due to Lin Kong!
This madman who sneaked into the palace late at night and tortured him all night, from that day on, he wondered if the other party was actually by his side, staring at him all the time.
Therefore, the next day, he issued an order overnight to withdraw all bounties on Lin Kong in the capital.
After that, this order radiated to the whole country.
Although I don't know how it was executed. Anyway, there would be no bounty for Lin Kong in the capital. In the days that followed, he lived in fear and could not sleep well, for fear that he would see Lin Kong beside him as soon as he opened his eyes.
Lack of sleep also made him easily frightened and angry. Last time, he sentenced a supervisor to death because of a word. When he thought about it later, he felt that he had made a big fuss.
But the arrow has been shot and there is no turning back. He could not make up for what had happened.
Fortunately, as time passed, he was no longer so scared. After falling asleep at night without waking up in shock for the past few days, his mood was calm. And gradually stabilized.
But who would have thought that today when he came to invigilate the triennial exam, he would actually run into that evil star face to face! Although he looked very steady when he sat down just now, he was really on pins and needles after sitting down!
Especially, the evil star was taking the exam not far in front of him, which was really life-threatening!
For two hours, the current emperor felt like every second was a year.
Fortunately, what is past will always pass.
When the exam was gradually coming to an end, some people began to leave and hand in their papers, and Lin Kong also left.
Seeing Lin Kong leave, the current emperor couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
However, the next moment...——
"I will always keep an eye on you, remember my champion."
A divine thought with a smile came into his mind again.
He was shocked and subconsciously looked at Lin Kong, seeing a half-smile on his face.
That night, Lin Kong suddenly disappeared and suddenly appeared in his mind again.
His mood instantly fell to the bottom...
After the palace examination, all the candidates did not leave, but waited outside the hall.
Because the palace examination was graded on the spot, and after the correction, the top three were announced on the spot in the Golden Palace.
Therefore, all the candidates needed to wait for the results to come out.
""Ding"
A distant gong sound suddenly rang out.
Finally, the palace examination was over.
All the candidates left the examination room, and the ministers who graded the papers gathered together to grade all the test papers. The current emperor moved to the imperial study, waiting for the ministers who graded the papers to hand in the 10 or 20 test papers that they thought were good, and he would decide who would be the top scorer, who would be the second and who would be the third.
Unfortunately, today's outcome was obviously already doomed.
After the current emperor came to the imperial study, he paced back and forth, and all he could think of in his mind were the words that Lin Kong said before he left!
He even suspected that at this moment, Lin Kong was in a corner of the imperial study, watching him quietly!
The current emperor shuddered at the thought of this.
He hurriedly called the eunuch chief and said,"Go and tell them to bring Lin Kong's test paper over. I want to grade it myself!"
In the end, he chose to follow his heart and prepared to get rid of this evil star as soon as possible according to what Lin Kong said.
Although the top scholar in a country is very important, it is really nothing compared to his life.
After hearing the order, the eunuch chief steward smiled, thinking that he had figured out the emperor's intention. After responding, he hurriedly left the imperial study.
In a moment, the eunuch chief steward came back with Lin Kong's test paper.
The current emperor immediately took it, came to the desk, and pretended to correct it. Seeing this, the eunuch chief steward did not dare to disturb him. He apologized and left the imperial study.
Originally, the current emperor was just going to take a casual look, and then correct it, give the top scholar to the evil star and get rid of him, but after taking a look, he found that the other party's answer paper was actually not bad!
No, not only good!
It was also very much in line with his mind!
After reading this set of answer papers, he felt a little bit of pity for talent.……
"What am I thinking about!"
Suddenly, he quickly dismissed the idea of cherishing talent.
If he kept such a person around, he would probably live in the shadow for the rest of his life, and the other party was a cultivator, so he might not be willing.
However, in this way, his conscience would not be so condemned.
In the end, he wrote four words on Lin Kong's test paper: No. 1 talent!
……
An hour later, the sun had begun to slowly slide down the mountain, and the setting sun illuminated thousands of miles.
In the Jinluan Palace, all the civil and military officials gathered.
"……"Announce Lin Kong to see you!"
A loud shout spread throughout the hall, and then was passed on by different people.
At this moment, Jinluan���In the palace, the third and second place winners had already read out the imperial edict and began to announce the champion of this year's imperial examination. When Lin Kong's name was read, all the civil and military officials in the court knew who would be the champion of this year's imperial examination.
Some were happy and some were sad.
Many scholars waiting outside the palace, some beat their feet and stamped their chests, and some congratulated Lin Kong.
Lin Kong himself, smiling, accepted the congratulations and followed the others into the Jinluan Palace. At the same time, he felt that the remaining obsession in his original body, which had"stuck" him, was beginning to melt away.
……
"It's almost time."
Above the palace, Wang Huo sneered, and after sending a message to the Supreme Sect, his figure slowly descended from the sky.
……
Jinluan Hall.
Lin Kong walked slowly and waited quietly.
On the high platform in the hall, in front of the current emperor, the chief eunuch held the imperial edict in his hand and read:
"In compliance with the will of Heaven, the Emperor proclaimed: This year's exam, in accordance with the will of Heaven and Earth, justice and righteousness, should be headed by 'Lin Kong', therefore, Lin Kong is specially appointed as the top scorer of this year's exam!"
When the imperial edict was read, Lin Kong closed his eyes and showed an expression of enjoyment.
Because, as the imperial edict was read, the deepest part of his soul, the obsession that had been"stuck" him, finally dissipated completely!
He only felt that the whole person, the whole soul, the whole will and consciousness, at this moment, completely returned to the true self, and gained freedom and ease! At this moment, as if blessing came to his heart, he knew what benefit he had gained.
He gained the great harmony of spirit, form, body, mind and will! Great unification!
He truly integrated into this world!
The door to the six realms of Taoism opened to him!
""Isn't it comfortable and relaxed?"
When Lin Kong was enjoying the beauty of this moment, suddenly, a voice came from outside the hall.
Along with the voice, an old man walked into the hall with his hands behind his back and a sneer:"Unfortunately, everything you have will stop here!"
The guards along the way wanted to stop him, but before they could get close to the old man, they were all bounced out!
"" Someone come! Assassin! Assassin!"
The chief eunuch shouted loudly, and all the civil and military officials in the court were in chaos.
Only Lin Kong seemed to have expected it. He turned around calmly, looked at the old man, and said with a smile:"Are you from the Supreme Sect or the Taiqing Sect?"
"Huh?!"
The old man was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he said in disbelief:"You have discovered me a long time ago?! Impossible!!!"
