In the imperial study room of the imperial palace, Emperor Jin Geng was looking at the papers for the imperial examination.

The big exam every three years is an important talent selection for Daxia, which is related to the country, so he attaches great importance to it.

After the end of the palace examination today, he was in the imperial study room grading Gongsheng's papers.

"Good article!" He couldn't help but praise the paper in his hand.

The article cites scriptures according to the classics, the wonderful brush produces flowers, and the words are pearls and jade, which is definitely the only one in the papers he has read.

Emperor Jin Geng turned to the candidates' names, and he saw the name of 'Li Shiming'.

His face was slightly startled. The name Li Shiming has been mentioned many times in the intelligence recently.

The most important thing is that Li Shiming is very close to Gu Jia, the royal worshiper. Gu Jia has been to Li Shiming's house many times, and Li Shiming has also attended many monks' gatherings.

From this point of view, Emperor Jin Geng determined that Li Shiming was also a monk.

With Emperor Jin Geng's understanding of Gu Jia, even as an emperor, he could not give Gu Jia much respect, let alone get along with him.

"It's a pity, such a talent is not available!" Emperor Jin Geng shook his head. He was going to make Li Shiming the champion, but knowing that Li Shiming could not be an official, he couldn't choose such a person to be the champion.

Even as much as he likes Li Shiming's articles, he hates things that Li Shiming can't use for himself.

Emperor Jin Geng really wanted to put Li Shiming in the top three, and let him get the lowest Tongjinshi background.

Even though he thought so, Emperor Jin Geng also had to take Gu Jia into consideration. Even if he didn't think about Gu Jia, he didn't want to annoy the cultivator Li Shiming for this matter.

"Then let's take a stab at it!" Emperor Jin Geng picked up his imperial pen to make a decision.

The next day, Xie En's jinshi entered the palace hall, and the **** read out the results.

When it was announced that Li Shiming was the third flower, the officials present and the new scholars discovered that Li Shiming, who should have appeared here, did not come.

Even the **** who announced the decree couldn't help but turn to look at Emperor Jin Geng, wanting to see Emperor Jin Geng's angry expression.

What all the officials and Xinke Jinshi did not expect was that Emperor Jin Geng was not angry.

"Li Shiming didn't come, he didn't come, continue!" Emperor Jin Geng waved his hand and said.

He also understands that this big exam is just a game of red dust for the monks, and he even knows that Li Shiming is visiting Gu Jia at this time.

In fact, Li Shiming didn't want to come to the main hall to thank him. He was called by Gu Jia after he entered the palace.

"Li Xiaoyou, you don't really want to stay in Daxia as an official, do you?" Gu Jia said to Li Shiming with a smile in the courtyard of the palace.

"Of course not, but I also studied hard for ten years, and it's a conclusion!" Li Shiming shook his head and replied.

"You are a cultivator, and you will be a cultivator of the Tianhai Sect in the future. Did you enter the hall to bow down to the emperor?" Gu Jia said lightly with his finger.

Li Shiming didn't think that Gu Jia paid more attention to the status of cultivator than him. Although he didn't want to bow down, he could bear it for the last wish of the mortal world.

But it's too late to say anything now. Anyway, the palace exam is over, and he is at least a jinshi. It can be considered that he has completed the obsession of the original body, and it can be regarded as an explanation to his father Li Wenyuan.

"Would you like to hear how you did in the exam?" Gu Jia asked with a smile.

As he spoke, his hand cast a spiritual rune in the space, and then a picture appeared in front of the two of them.

This picture is exactly the scene of the main hall, not only the picture, but also the real-time sound.

The picture is not an ordinary picture, but a stereoscopic picture with 3D effect.

Li Shiming's eyes widened, looking at everything in front of him in disbelief.

Isn't this virtual imaging technology? The technology in the previous life was so advanced, and this technology was not fully mature. Although it was barely possible to achieve, the cost was extremely high.

"The entire palace is within the range of the magic circle arranged by the sect. I can observe what is happening anywhere in the palace at any time!" Gu Jia saw his surprise and explained with a smile.

Li Shiming wanted to ask Gu Jia, does the emperor know about a magic circle with such an effect?

If the emperor knew that his every move could be observed by Gu Jia, would the emperor still be willing to live in the palace?

"Yo, that's right, little friend got Tanhua Lang!" Gu Jia laughed when he heard the eunuch's decree.

Seeing that as an emperor, he has no dignity in front of a cultivator, this made Li Shiming feel less about winning the third spot.

Gu Jia looked at Li Shiming's demeanor and was very proud. He did this on purpose, just to dispel Li Shiming's attachment to the world.

A monk is lonely and needs to stay away from the world and the hustle and bustle.

Only a monk who is patient and lonely can he pursue a higher realm.

The two monks sat on the chairs and watched what was going on in the hall.

Li Shiming felt the estrangement between himself and the world, but this did not affect his desire to pursue cultivation.

He lives again, he cherishes life very much, he wants to live longer, he wants to travel to every corner of the world, he wants to see the essence of the world clearly. UU reading www. uukanshu. com

"Brother Gu, can cultivation lead to longevity?" In this atmosphere, Li Shiming asked a question.

"Guess how old I am this year?" Gu Jia asked with a smile when she heard this question.

Li Shiming carefully observed Gu Jia. Gu Jia was between forty and fifty years old, and the cultivator might look young, so he had a judgment.

"Is Daoist brother seventy years old?" Saying this age is already the value he increased.

"Haha!" Gu Jia laughed loudly, and then he seemed a little lonely and continued: "I am one hundred and twenty-three years old this year, I have been practicing hard for more than a hundred years, and I am still waiting to die in the world!"

Li Shiming looked at Gu Jia in surprise. He did not expect Gu Jia to be one hundred and twenty-three years old.

One must know that among mortals, it is already extremely auspicious to have an old man over 110 years old, let alone more than 120 years old.

And looking at Gu Jia's appearance, he doesn't look like he is one hundred and twenty-three years old. Looking at his state, there is no problem in living for a few more decades.

"The longest lifespan of a Qi-refining cultivator can be close to 200 years old, but due to various reasons of the cultivator's body, it is not bad to be 150 years old normally!" Gu Jia explained to him.

"Don't the monks with higher realms live longer?" Li Shiming asked again.

"The lifespan of a cultivator in the foundation-building period is at least two hundred years old. I can't know if it goes up, but the higher the cultivation base, the longer the lifespan is inevitable!" Gu Jia answered with great certainty.

At this moment, Li Shiming's thoughts on cultivation became extremely firm.

He has a computer room, a large server such as IBMz15, and has countless research results in previous lives. He firmly believes that he can go further in the path of immortality and can see for a long time.
