God-level Selection System

At this moment, all the participants in the meeting gathered together according to different forces and talked with each other, making the atmosphere of the Tongming Hall very warm.

There is still a while before the banquet can begin.

Fang Yun, who was unwilling to blend into it, closed his eyes slowly, sinking his mind into the space of the samsara jade plate.

"Master, I heard that the royal family has given out a lot of precious rewards this time during the Spring Festival. The top three in the Chinese martial arts competition can even get a piece of extraterritorial star iron!"

Fang Yun, who condensed the soul in the samsara jade plate space, sat huddled across from Ye Chen and said softly.

The so-called extraterritorial star iron is actually a star that can be observed with the naked eye hanging high above the head at night.

"Getting the stars and taking the moon, what kind of tyrannical martial arts strength is needed!"

Suddenly, Fang Yun couldn't help but a deep yearning for it.

During the Great Zhou Dynasty, the country was founded by military force, and it has stood for more than a thousand years and produced countless strong men.

Some strong martial arts are powerful, and they can shake bullfights with their fists.

As soon as the fist breathed out, a sharp glow rose directly into the sky, and it was no problem to blast down the stars.

And there was a steady stream of extraterritorial stars iron flowing out of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The rumor is that these hidden, peerless and powerful men blasted down the stars in the sky, used great magical powers as their palms, and took them down from the sky.

It was a precious material used to refine armored helmets and build weapons and magical weapons. It was always firmly controlled by the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"It's just some stars outside the sky. The root of the martial arts training for the teacher is that Zhou Tian Xing Dou. After you break through to the realm of birth, you can lead Zhou Tian Xing Dou, and in the future, you will be able to order Zhou Tian Xing Dou!"

"No matter how many stars outside of the sky you want, it's at your fingertips!"

Fang Yun's sigh was heard in his ears, and Ye Chen, who slowly opened his eyes, said with a chuckle.

"With Zhou Tian Xing Dou as the root cause, order Zhou Tian Xing Dou?"

"What a great existence that would be... Master's origin is really too mysterious!"

Ye Chen's words made Fang Yun's eyes immediately shocked, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart.

It's been a while since I worshipped Master Ye Chen's door, but it was the first time that Fang Yun heard Master mention his own affairs from Ye Chen's mouth.

Although Fang Yun knew the mystery and power of this boxing technique after practicing the Seven Star Boxing Book, he never thought that the future would be so vast.

"Master..."

A hesitation flashed in his eyes, Fang Yun said hesitantly.

"Don't ask too much, you will know in the future!"

After hearing Fang Yun's voice, Ye Chen shook his head and said with a light smile.

Although Fang Yun didn't say it clearly, how could the thoughts in his heart conceal Ye Chen's perception? It was nothing more than to know Ye Chen's origins and other issues.

After all, Fang Yun had only just touched the martial arts, his strength was still too weak, and knowing too much would not do him any good at all.

After Fang Yun's martial arts cultivation became stronger, Ye Chen would naturally tell him everything.

…………

Just when Ye Chen and Fang Yun were communicating in the reincarnation jade plate space, the banquet in the bright hall of the outside world was finally about to begin.

After saying goodbye to his master, Fang Yun removed his soul from the samsara jade card, and restored his consciousness to clarity.

At this moment.

The princes and princes who were still talking in the Tongming Palace have already returned to their seats one after another.

This kind of royal banquet, although the emperor and empress are not present, they are usually hosted by old scholars from the Ministry of Rites.

It didn't matter before the banquet was officially held.

But once it starts, everyone has to go back to where they were.

The seating order of the banquet was carefully arranged by the Ministry of Rites and must not be confused.

Fang Yun glanced at the top of the Tongming Hall, and saw several palace ladies, eunuchs, and guards, surrounded by an old-fashioned old scholar, walking towards the middle.

This old Confucian wore a cyan Confucian shirt, his temples were white, and his whole body showed a Confucian atmosphere full of poetry and books.

"Quiet, the scholars of the palace shall return to their respective positions, and shall not make noise! ​​Offenders, drive out!"

Standing on the top of the Tongming Hall, Old Confucian glanced around the square with a muyu-like look, and said in a deep voice.

Although the old Confucian's voice was not loud, it contained full power, which made the bustling and noisy Tongming Palace instantly become silent.

At the same time, the eyes of all the people in the meeting couldn't help but focus on this old Confucian.

Seeing calmness in the bright hall, the old Confucian nodded in satisfaction, nodded slightly, and a court lady offered a bottle of wine on a tray.

Old Confucian grabbed the bottle and said solemnly.

"toast!"

After that, all the participants in the hall also stood up immediately, holding the wine bottle in their hands, and followed.

"toast."

"Long live the emperor!"

Old Confucian raised the wine bottle, saluted the Dragon Court in the middle of the palace, and said.

"Long live the emperor!"

The crowd followed and saluted.

"Queen Empress Chitose!"

The old Confucian once again held a bottle to respect the Tao

"Queen Empress Chitose!"

The scholars followed Hong Sheng.

"Wish my great Zhou Dynasty, Jiangshan Sheji, inherit forever, and be long and prosperous!"

Old Confucianism and Taoism.

"Wish my great Zhou Dynasty, Jiangshan Sheji, inherit forever, and be long and prosperous!"

All the scholars also congratulated together.

"After the ceremony, gentlemen, please drink."

The old Confucian covered his face with his sleeve and drank it, and all the scholars in the temple also drank it.

Wait until everyone sits down.

But outside the bright hall, countless bright fireworks rose from the night, illuminating most of the capital.

As soon as the congratulatory speech was over, the Tongming Hall immediately became lively.

Rows of palace ladies filed in, carrying a variety of delicacies and sending them to the table of the Dazhou scholars.

At the same time, there were also palace ladies filling wine bottles for the scholars.

Fang Yun drank alone, but his mind was still immersed in the conversation with Master Ye Chen.

Although Ye Chen did not answer Fang Yun's doubts, he painted a magnificent future for Fang Yun.

Although Fang Yun was new to martial arts practice, when he was young, he heard his father Sifang Hou Fangyin and his brother Fang Lin talk about martial arts.

In their mouths, Fang Yun knew that the powerful monks in martial arts could shoot down stars outside the sky.

However, he has never heard of someone who can pick stars and moons, or even order Zhou Tian to fight with stars. What a great and tyrannical existence is that.

"Boom! Ding! Ding!"

Just when Fang Yun was immersed in his longing for the future, a bell ringing and the sound of the strike of a bell rang out in the Tongming Hall, which made him regain his senses.

According to the etiquette of the Great Zhou, the royal banquet on the Lantern Festival has many names.

In addition to eating and drinking, there are also dance music of court ladies, various acrobatic performances, and dances with scholars.

Among them is dance music, named Xiang Wu.

Elephant dance is a juvenile military dance, and it is also the initiation ceremony of the hair-binding ceremony.

This habit has been around for a long time, so long history books can't record its detailed starting time.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, at the age of fifteen, it was also called the year of dancing elephants.

"The scholars who read their names below are listed, Yang Ping, Li Zhi...Fang Yun..."

However, the old Confucian who was in charge of the opening just now walked to the center of the Tongming Hall again, unfolded the golden scroll in his hand, and thought one by one.

All the people whose names are recorded on the gold scrolls are the teenagers who will participate in the ceremony of tying their hair today.

After the old scholar Sili had finished reading the golden scroll, nearly a hundred young scholars had gathered in the center of the Tongming Hall, and Fang Yun was among them.

These young scholars are all dressed in silver-white square short gowns and black barrel trousers. They are black and white, and they are dresses that hold their hair.

Accompanied by the sound of bells ringing in the main hall suddenly, nearly a hundred scholars immediately formed a battle formation of aura to kill.

This kind of battle formation is called elephant formation, which is an ancient battle formation.

But today, it has been streamlined a lot, and it has become a dance celebrated by warriors.

Nearly Bai Shizi danced in the hall with white clothes and black trousers, accompanied by the bells and drums that roused the majestic column.

After a dance of elephants, a famous palace lady filed in outside the Tongming Hall.

They held a silver plate in their hands, and placed a cotton ribbon, a yellow ribbon ivory jade, and a jade comb in the silver plate.

It is clearly stipulated in the "Book of Rites" of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The emperor wears white jade and the xuan group cogwheel, the princes wears the mountain xuan jade and the Zhu group cogwheel, the doctor wears the water blue jade and the pure cogwheel, the elder son wears the Yuyu jade and the cogwheel group, and the Shi Peizheng cogwheel.

As for ordinary scholars like Fang Yun who have just tied their hair, they can only wear ivory jade.

Nearly a hundred court ladies entered in file, each corresponding to a scholar, standing behind these scholars.

After Old Confucian Si Li finished reading the text of the ceremony of hair binding, these court ladies began to comb their hair and bun with jade combs.

The process of tying the bun is very particular, requiring every bundle of hair to be combed neatly.

Although this process is simple, it is extremely cumbersome and takes almost half an hour.

After the bun was tied, a famous court lady put the jade comb back on the tray, then took the cotton ribbon from the tray and tied the bun.

After the combing and bun are finished, the last step of the bowing ceremony is to wear jade.

The Great Zhou ruled the country by culture and was a nation of etiquette.

According to the Confucian classics, the gentleman is modest and moist as jade.

The last step of the hair-cutting ceremony is to wear jade, hoping that all Da Zhou scholars will be gentlemen and have virtues.

"The Great Zhou Lili, after fifteen haircuts, you must perform military service.

From now on, within five years, I have to establish a magnificent military exploit, marquis and knights, and echo my father in the army! "

When he hung the ivory jade around his waist, Fang Yun's heart came and went one after another, and a huge voice echoed in his heart.

"My great Zhou dynasty, ruled the country by martial arts, ruled the world by culture... Although this evening is the Shangyuan Festival, of course, civil and martial arts must not be abandoned!

"In order to encourage all scholars to study hard and study hard, the royal family decided to launch a literary examination and a martial arts competition on the Lantern Festival, and will give generous rewards to those who have won rankings in the literary examination and martial arts competition."

"At the same time... after winning the top three in Wubi, and taking part in the literary test, and entering the top three in the literary test, you can get a gift from the Emperor!"

"I hope that all scholars, take an active part!"

After the hair-cutting ceremony was over, the old Confucian Si Li announced another news.

The rewards of the Great Zhou Yuyan Wenwu Competition have always been unannounced, but the rewards obtained after winning the ranking are extremely rich.

"A gift from the Emperor?"

A celebrity stared at Old Sili Ru in surprise.

In their impression, in the past, awards for literary examinations and Wubi were generally given in the name of the imperial family and the Sangong.

There has never been this Shangyuan Festival, which was directly given by the Emperor.

"Great gift, what kind of gift? Ancient skill?"

All the scholars looked at each other and were very surprised.

Since the Superintendent of Li said it was a big gift, it was definitely a big gift. The curiosity of the scholars suddenly attracted.

Although the eyes of the scholars were like torches, the old Confucian Siri didn't have the slightest meaning to explain.

But seeing him embrace the golden scroll, strode away, Wu turned and left in the direction he came.

"The civil and martial arts test is in the left hall. After entering, there are two doors. On the left is Wubi, and on the right is the literary test. All the scholars, each according to their ability, go!"

When he reached the entrance of the Tongming Hall, the old Confucian stepped continuously and suddenly spoke.

After that, many powerful princes and children in the Bright Palace immediately got up and walked towards the left hall.

"Forget it, Wubi has them to participate, and we go there for nothing. It's better to stay here and enjoy the food."

Seeing those powerful princes and children walk into the gate of the left hall.

Many scholars immediately retreated and returned to the Tongming Hall to sit down and enjoy the royal cuisine with peace of mind.

but……

There are also many scholars who are better than essays and poems, and also walked in.

Every year at the Great Zhou Imperial Banquet, although the royal family's rewards are not fixed, there will inevitably be the pen and ink of the three masters of the dynasty.

The paintings and calligraphy of Taishi, Taifu, and Dazai are not only worth a thousand dollars at the market price, but they are also priceless!

However, most of the time, San Gong's pen and ink were collected by them.

According to rumors, these three adults are pedantic and awe-inspiring. They can suppress demons and evil spirits in the house.

"San Gong's pen and ink is extremely rare, let alone the outer stars and iron."

In the Fate Game, Fang Yun had also participated in the Royal Family's Shangyuan Royal Banquet, although he had never participated in Wubi because of his low martial arts strength.

However, several times he won the Guizhi for the literary examination and obtained several paintings by the three masters.

With Fang Yun's current martial arts cultivation base, Wu Bi No. 1 is as simple as what's in the bag, and he is also eight to nine points sure that he can win the literary test.

But at this moment, Fang Yun was a little hesitant about whether he should refer to the essay test.

Now his father, Quartet Hou Fangyin, holds a heavy army in his hand and sits on the border of southern Xinjiang, which has attracted criticism from the nobles and princes of the central court.

If he is showing his heyday, it will definitely attract the jealousy of those nobles and princes, and make those nobles and princes want to get rid of them quickly.

Regarding the final outcome of the Fang family in the fateful game, Fang Yun always had a sorrow in his heart.

Although Sangong's pen and ink is very precious, and extraterritorial stars and iron are extremely rare, it is not worth mentioning compared to the lives of his parents and brothers.

For a while, Fang Yun didn't know whether he should take part in the literary test and martial arts competition.

"As a disciple of this seat, why should you be afraid of too much? Go forward bravely!"

Just when Fang Yun was hesitant, Ye Chen's deafening voice immediately echoed in the depths of his mind.

Suddenly, seeing Fang Yun's body suddenly burst, a trace of firmness flashed in his eyes.

"Master, my disciple understands!"

Immediately, he got up and walked outside the Tongming Hall.
