77, cultivate the first device consciousness and then obtain the Tao
Because of the craziness of my mind, I couldn't control my breath and was noticed.
Yan Li rolled forward without thinking about it. The huge energy of the flood discharge shattered his foothold. The wood chips flew over, and Shen Liuyun flashed in, raised his palm and was about to kill Yan Li, but suddenly he paused.
With the faint moonlight, she could see Yan Li's face clearly, frowned slightly, and said, "What are you doing here, you fool?"
"I..." Yan Li was like a young man who had just fallen in love. With a thrill of heart, he almost blurted out.
At a critical moment, an idea suddenly arose... The situation in Yongling is treacherous and unpredictable, and there are dangers everywhere. Now we recognize each other, wouldn't we put her in danger?
He suppressed his mood and showed a careless smile and said, "The long night is long and I have no intention of sleeping. Seeing that the teacher is like a student, I followed him to see, and I may even be able to exude each other's hearts."
"Shut up!" Chen Liuyun's eyes were sharp, and he seemed to have murderous intent.
"I've heard that you are so brave, not only do you monotonously tease the emperor, but you dare to be kind-hearted. Believe it or not, I will pull out your intestines and tie it up on your body to show the public?"
His eyes were contemptuous and disdainful, and his tone was even more disgusting.
Yan Li held back his sadness and said with a smile: "If you can prove the true feelings of a student, what's wrong with cutting a stomachache or heart cut off?"
Chen Liuyun frowned and said, "Kill you, I'll dirty my hands."
After saying that, he turned around and left, waited to the door, and paused a little, "Let you go once, don't be lucky. Let me see you appear here next time, and you will definitely die!"
After she left, Yan Li leaned against the pillar and sat down on the ground weakly, slowly hugged her knees and buried her head deep.
But he didn't know that Chen Liuyun looked at him in a place close to him but could not see him, with great doubts.
...
On October 19th, the eleventh year of Emperor Qi, the literary test will begin at the hour of Mao, and the time is two hours. The examiners at the hour of Wu and the papers will be compiled together. It is also two hours, and the results will be produced at the hour of You.
Yan Li came to the Shangshu Desk early in the morning and entered the third examination room in order of registration. The seats were blocked by high curtain mats. Ling Shi placed the test questions on the table early in the morning, with all the writing and ink.
It has to be mentioned here that the literary exams of practitioners are different from those of ordinary students.
The graduation exams for ordinary students are extremely complex, including posts and questions, poems and essays, classical meanings and ink meanings.
The practitioner's literary test is relatively simple and he can only choose one from it. Therefore, he only gives two hours.
The questions were issued by the current academic and political studies, and then the emperor examined them. The answer was only given on the eve of the literary examination. If they were denied, the emperor would give their own answers. Therefore, until the day of the exam, the questions were still unknown, avoiding the possibility of cheating.
Yan Li sat down and started grinding the ink, then wrote his name on the test paper. If he forgot, it would be in vain.
Then, I started reading the question.
The title is: The title is: "To cultivate the first skill and learn the word "Tao".
Yan Li was slightly stunned. This question was difficult, beyond his expectations.
However, he happened to read this sentence, and the second half of the question was written by mistake. The original text should be "cultivating first the knowledge of the weapon, and then achieving the Tao."
The questioner must have done it on purpose. If you don’t know the whole sentence, it is easy to be confused and answer randomly.
This sentence comes from "On Medical Questions", written by Li Xuanwei, a great sage known as a saint. It not only contains analysis and description of "On Medical Questions", but also his experience in practicing.
Li Xuanwei was the main hero in destroying the Feast of Ghosts and Gods, and had world-famous medical skills. After the Feast of Ghosts and Gods, it was said that he had died together with Yang Youyun, the initiator of the Feast of Ghosts and Gods, the leader of the remnants of the sect.
Li Xuanwei included his own cultivation experience in "On Medical Questions". His broad mind and his feelings were taught to future generations, so he was known as the "Medical Saint".
The original meaning of this sentence is that if you want to practice, you must first have the ability and knowledge, and then talk about enlightenment. Here enlightenment refers to the improvement of the realm of practice.
Practice cannot be separated from knowledge, and practice cannot be separated from instruments.
Knowledge is the ink of knowledge. There are many explanations for the size of the instrument, and the official explanation is the mind and awareness.
Yan Li personally prefers the latter. If a practitioner does not break through all the dangers and difficulties, he will not be able to reach the ideal state.
The title entries say the word "Tao", which means that the question should be done with the rhyme of Tao.
What is Taoist rhyme? It is very simple, it is the words and sentences related to practice. For example, the unity of man and nature, my heart is like a rock, my heart is like a prison, empty and bright as illusion, darkness... Such words and sentences.
Sure enough, what the inner courtyard needs is not a wise man with both virtue, but a talent who focuses on practice.
Of course, literary talent is also an indispensable item. At this point, if you write the answer, you will still get a bad grade.
There is another question here, that is, the type of test questions.
The word "Fude" at the beginning is obviously to ask candidates to write articles for test posts. There are seven difficulties in writing test posts, called the seven sentences, which are written in the genre of imitation poetry and Taoist rhyme.
The first sentence to solve the question is to tell the examiner that he has seen through the intention of the question; the second sentence must follow the question; the third sentence must follow the question; the fourth and fifth sentences are the middle inheritance; the sixth sentence must follow the question; the last sentence must be bound by the question.
Of course, even if you answer this way, you may not get excellent evaluations, and it depends on the candidate's literary talent.
Yan Li is self-aware, and there is no need to think about excellence. He can avoid inferiority and just take it as an ordinary person.
It took half an hour to solve the problem, then half an hour to think about it, another half an hour to touch the ink, and the last half an hour to moisten the pen.
Two hours later, he put down his pen and glanced at it with satisfaction.
Coincidentally, Shi shouted loudly: "Candidates put down their pens and handed in the papers in sequence. If they do not comply, they will be evaluated according to inferiority."
Most of the candidates were still scratching their heads. When they heard this, they had to put down their pens, spontaneously picked up the test papers, lined up, and handed over the test papers to the invigilator in turn.
The invigilator sat in the chief and would briefly glance at the test papers. Whether it was excellent or not can be seen at a glance.
It was Yan Li's turn, and the invigilator first looked at the test paper, but seeing that although the writing was not very impressive, the handwriting was vigorous and powerful, he couldn't help but nod.
Looking at the name column again, I saw the word Yan Li written on it. My heart moved and said, "Your name is Yan Li?"
Yan Li heard the sound and woke up from his meditation. Because this sound was almost unforgettable.
His eyes moved to the invigilator's face, and he saw a raised meat bag on the man's forehead, like a third eye. An emotional frenzy in his heart was thrust, and blood all over his body rushed to the top of his head.
"Bai Chongxi, that person wants your life and escapes to the ends of the world. It's also a word for death. It's better to just kill me and give you some fun, otherwise..."
By the moat, the hot blood sprayed his head and face. Under the mask, the hideous eyes and the meat bag were the same as yesterday.
Yan Li's teeth choked and he almost couldn't help but draw his sword.
"Sir Zuo Cheng is asking you!"
Let Shi shout coldly, like ice water poured on his head.
Yan Li quickly calmed down and gritted his teeth and whispered: "The student is Yan Li."
"Don't be nervous." The invigilator said gently, "just ask casually."
"I dare to ask about the teacher's name." Yan Li asked.
The invigilator smiled and said, "I am Gu Shiyu. Okay, next one."
PS: Big chapter later, a small chapter, and today I am very idle. As expected, I don’t have the life to save the manuscript. I just want to post it if I write a little.
Chapter completed!
