C4429 There Was a Pen in His Heart(part I)
Lin Hao looked around the hall and saw a gong hanging high on the stage at the front. There was also a gong and drum hammer made of red silk next to it. There was no anxiety on the faces of the others. Instead, they were chatting with each other, waiting for the gong and drum to ring.0
Since that was the case, Lin Hao didn't want to accept Great Imperial Scholar's recommendation. He had broken the rules of the ancient times, so he could only sit there obediently. He was eating melon seeds and drinking tea in boredom, listening to Chen Wu tell an old joke. He waited like the others.
However, Lin Hao had already looked at everyone's faces in the lobby, but he did not see anyone in a black robe. He also did not know if Yu Loong had come or not.
As time passed, when the sun that was already high in the sky was only left with the afterglow, a purple robed old man slowly walked into the Tower of Heaven.
He walked past the eager eyes of the crowd and walked onto the stage. He picked up the gongs and hammers made of red silk cloth.
The gong and drum were hung on the roof of the house. The little old man jumped up silently with a tap of his finger. His dry fingers gripped the gong and drum hammer and fiercely struck the golden gong and drum.
A deafening and enormous sound caused everyone's spirits to be refreshed, and they looked towards the emaciated old man. The old man descended unhurriedly onto the stage and threw the gongs and hammers onto the ground. He cried out with a sharp and shrill voice. "All the Young Masters have been waiting for a long time, and I presume you're exhausted in your hearts. Please enter your rooms and rest quickly!"
When he said that, everybody stood up and walked to the stairs on both sides. The hall was filled with the noise of tables and chairs hitting each other again.
"However..." The old man in purple shouted, causing everyone to stop in their tracks. "Since you have come to this Mountain and River Sacrificial Ceremony, you must know very well how many kilograms you have. There is no need for me to say anything."
"I'm sure all of you know very well which floor you should stay in!"
This voice finally allowed Lin Hao to understand the meaning behind this.
The Heaven Gazing Tower had five floors. From top to bottom, they were the sky, the earth, and the people. The fifth floor had never been opened to the outside world. Clearly, it was a special room that only royal relatives could stay in.
There were so many Genius warriors in the Mountain and River Sacrificial Ceremony, and there were more than three hundred of them. Big families wanted to maintain their dignity, and small families wanted to take the opportunity to climb up. Not to mention, there were also officials from all over the world who recommended them, as well as the commoners who were selected to be Genius warriors. It must be that no one was convinced of who they were.
In this way, it was just a simple selection of rooms. If one was not careful, one would offend a true Level. This was really a good trick.
"Little brother, although this foolish brother is not talented, he is still a green card. I can live in the Earth Room." Chen Wu whispered into Lin Hao's ear, "Don't follow me to the Clear Room. Come with me to the Earth Room. The bed there is soft and comfortable. I guarantee that you will sleep comfortably. "
At this moment, everyone was gathered at the staircase. The smart disciples of the big families were unwilling to take the lead. As for the remaining small families and Genius Grass, they knew that they were not arrogant enough. They could only wait to pick the remaining ones, and they were even more unwilling to take a step forward.
Half a day had passed, and the old man had already sat down and started drinking tea. The crowd did not advance, but retreated instead. Everyone pushed and squeezed, and no one was willing to be the first one to stand out.
When he heard Chen Wu's words, Lin Hao could not help but laugh softly.
