Chapter 56 There is an empty space in front of Gu Zhuo
Five days have passed, and the long-street murder case that shocked the entire divine city has still not been settled.
Lin Wanyi's identity has never been made clear, so Gu Zhuo, who took action that day, became the focus of people's discussion on this topic. Although many people criticized him for acting excessively, cruelly, and having huge problems with his temperament, there is no doubt that most of them Most ordinary people just like this kind of pleasure of not spending the night with grudges. There are many praises and envy in the streets and alleys after tea and meals.
Not to mention those people from all walks of life who have received money, they can't wait to put all the beautiful words in the world on Gu Zhuo, so as to make his already famous reputation even higher.
When people as far away as Wangjing learned about this, they were silent and stunned for a long time, and then burst into extremely happy laughter.
In Changzhou Academy, Gu Zhuo's classmates were even more excited and couldn't hide their excitement. They held a banquet that night to celebrate their senior brother Gu's feats in the divine capital.
At that time, many students in the academy were sighing, thinking how good it would be now if things had not happened before.
There are too many people in Wangjing who are happy about this, regardless of their status.
Ordinary people are proud of themselves, but the adults who are regarded by the upstarts in the city as relics feel very proud of themselves for showing their kindness in advance.
That night, many people in Wangjing were drunk.
So in the early morning of the next day, people learned that the Tianxian Division had announced the pre-examination list for this year's summer festival in advance, and they thought they had slept for dozens of days, sleeping until the summer and woken up from the heat.
Before the official start of the summer festival every four years, the Tianxun Division will announce to the world a list of 300 people. The people on the list are all young practitioners who participated in this summer festival.
As the violent agency of the Great Qin Dynasty that governs practitioners, the Tianxian Division has an unimaginably huge intelligence network, so this official list is naturally extremely authoritative.
More than ninety-nine percent of the sects in the world will use this list of the Tiantian Division and the candidate information given on the list to target every candidate who is suitable for their sect and conduct private contact before the summer festival. In order to encourage candidates to choose their own sect after the summer festival.
At this time in the past, news would spread every day in the city of God that a certain candidate had reached an agreement with a certain sect and would only officially enter the school after the summer festival.
What's more, for example, a rare genius like Monk Wuguo directly caused many top sects to compete for each other. The gossip revealed when all parties competed with each other can make ordinary people care about them every day. A few sharp comments at the dinner table from time to time, which is full of fun.
Many people laugh and say that this is often the busiest season for a sect from top to bottom.
The impact of this list doesn’t stop there.
For those candidates who participate in the Summer Festival, some of them often challenge those at the top in order to prove that they are more than that, in order to gain fame and attention, so as to have a better place to go after the Summer Festival. .
This is both a fight for fame and a fight for profit.
Ordinary people who don't participate in the Summer Festival naturally don't care about this. All they care about is ranking.
A student from Cheung Chau Academy, the little girl who took the lead in bidding farewell to Gu Zhuo that day, was standing in front of the list, her eyes almost widened and her mouth opened so wide that she could almost swallow an apple. She was so surprised that she was scared. Others can't see it.
"Junior sister, what's wrong with you?"
"Could it be that those bastards in Shendu are deliberately suppressing Senior Brother Gu and not letting him be on the list!"
"...It's okay. If we really do this, we will lose the face of the Tianxian Division and lose the credibility of the court. After all, who in the world doesn't know how great Senior Brother Gu is?"
The little girl woke up, quickly shook her head, and pointed to the top of the list.
She looked at her classmates uncertainly and asked in a soft voice, "It's not that I'm too short. Is it a mistake?"
The students looked in the direction the little girl pointed, wondering what it was.
The next moment, they were all stunned.
"Is this okay?"
"Isn't it true that the people from the Tianxian Division made a mistake?"
"How could it be like this?"
"Is there any precedent before?"
"It seems not, but..."
"But what?" "Senior Brother Gu is so damn fierce!"
……
……
The process of the list announced by the Tianxun Division today is usually finalized a few days before the list is released, and then transmitted to the prefectures and counties of Daqin through special channels, and then announced at a selected time.
This process seems simple, but in fact it is not complicated. It seems that there is a lot of room for manipulation. However, because the final decision is made personally by a director of the Sky Survey Department, ordinary people do not dare to put their hands into it, so they rarely do it. caused widespread controversy.
Until this time.
Because the Tianxian Division's list this time shocked not only the people in Wangjing, but also the new dignitaries in the divine capital had to admit that this was the first time in the history of the Summer Festival, and it was truly an eye-opener.
It is said that after this list was spread into the palace, His Majesty the Emperor was slightly stunned, and then he laughed and cursed.
It is said that someone asked Mr. Pei that day to find out what the list was about, and he got a simple and straightforward answer.
——Don’t you want to suppress Gu Zhuo’s arrogance? I'm doing you a favor, should you thank me?
Rumors like this are constantly circulating in the streets and alleys of the divine capital and even among the people, bringing endless joy to the people.

As for Gu Zhuo, who was standing at the center of the storm, his most intuitive impression of this was... This was really troublesome. He was right in not wanting to see that woman.
Yes, this is really troublesome.
The moment the Tianxunsi list was announced and confirmed, countless people stepped through the door of the inn, hoping to have an in-depth conversation with him.
If the shopkeeper of this inn hadn't straightened up enough because of Eunuch Cao's instructions that day, and was not afraid of these pressures, perhaps what happened five days ago would happen again.
The difference is just that the curses at that time have changed into other words that disturb people's minds.
The same thing is that Gu Zhuo still can't go out today.
So when Monk Wugou heard that he was staying in this inn and chose to pay a visit temporarily, he actually felt that the young monk had become a little more pleasing to his eyes.
The first time the young monk saw Gu Zhuo when he entered the door, he smiled brightly and shouted: "Hello, second best in the world."
I don’t know why, but after saying the words “Hello,” he paused for a long time for no apparent reason, and then he said “No. 2 in the world.”
Yes, Gu Zhuo ranked second on the list drawn up by Pei Jinge himself.
The second person is naturally not worthy of surprise. What people are really surprised and puzzled about is that there is an empty space in front of this second person, which is obviously different from the many names listed below him.
What makes people feel even more outrageous is that there is no first place above this second place.
It seems that the blank space in front of Gu Zhuo's name is number one.
This is what makes everyone speechless.
Gu Zhuo was silent for a moment, and once again confirmed that Pei Jinge was extremely troublesome, and then asked: "Why did you come to Baima Lake?"
"Eh? Don't you know?"
The young monk looked at him with a strange look on his face and said honestly: "There is a banquet here today. Some elders who are very good to me asked me to come over and join in the fun and get to know some of my peers."
Gu Zhuo asked: "Who organized this banquet?"
The young monk thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be that Song Jinglun."
Gu Zhuo was slightly startled when he heard this, and subconsciously said: "Is this just a sign of being sent to face the door?"
