[Chapter 166 The theory exam is so nervous]
"Li...Brother Li, you are here too!"
In the examination room, Li Chun unexpectedly met several acquaintances, such as Lieba and Fan Dongliu. Their strength is almost the same and they are enough, and they will not let this exam go.
Of course, Lieba looked pale and glanced at him in fear from afar, but did not disturb him. Since the Tianmiao Sect had eaten in Li Chun's hands, Lieba, who knew the truth, became timid and timid, and how could he dare to offend him?
Fan Dongliu stuttered and said hello.
"Brother Fan, I expected you would come too. If you meet it during the exam, you must show mercy!"
Li Chun beat him up. This kid is qualified to participate in the Hanlu Meeting. His swordsmanship is not weak, and he is very talented and has made great progress in his journey in the wilderness. Maybe he is his strong enemy this time.
"Where... Where... Brother Li is much better than me!"
The honest young man shyly touched the back of his head to express his humility.
"quiet!"
Seeing that the two of them started chatting, the scholar next to him glared at him in dissatisfaction and shouted. Fan Dongliu stuck out his tongue and sued him, and then he touched his seat and sat down.
Li Chun curled his lips. The exam had not yet begun and there was no rule prohibiting speaking. It was just that some people were too nervous and could not bear to let others relax.
He sighed and looked around.
This is a spacious hall, densely packed with desks. According to the number of people this time, I am afraid there will be more than a thousand.
Li Chun's position is back on the right side, and Fan Dongliu and Lieba are both before the exam on the left side. It seems that they have decided to take the imperial examination very early, and the registration time is early before the previous queue.
The seats gradually filled up, and Li Chun sat on the front, back and left and right. On the left was a middle-aged man with deep wrinkles and kept sighing. There was a pale girl in front, probably because of her nervousness, and there was no trace of blood on her face. Behind was a boy of about the same age as Li Chun, with an excited expression and looking forward to waiting for the examiner to arrive.
Facing this test that determines fate, almost no one is not nervous.
In late autumn, the weather was cool, because the hall was ventilated on all sides, and it was not stuffy because there were too many people. Li Chun took clear water from the basket, rinsed his mouth, calmed his energy and concentrated his mind, and gradually entered the exam state.
He did not notice that among the group of nervous candidates, there was a cold look, staring at his back like a poisonous snake.
The position where Zheng Dalang sat was not far from Li Chun's right behind. From the moment he stepped into the examination room, his eyes were not far away from Li Chun for a moment, and his face was gloomy and gloomy.
"quiet!"
"quiet!"
"eliminate!"
This time, the examiners who were preparing to distribute the test papers were shouting quietly. They entered through the side door, and the officials behind them each held a stack of test papers.
The examination room became quiet, and thousands of people held their breath, their eyes burning, and they stayed on the test papers in the hands of the examiner.
The first exam is the meaning of Taoist classics. It mainly requires memorizing all nine volumes of Taoist books. Many questions in the test paper are written directly. As long as there are no mistakes, you can get high scores.
The house examination is not difficult, and only the last big question is to test the proofreading of the meaning of the classics, and the questions are very ordinary.
As soon as the exam time arrived, the sound of gongs came from outside the window. The examiners did not dare to neglect them and immediately began to hand over the papers and put each paper upside down on the table. At this time, the candidates could not turn over to watch the test questions. They had to wait until all the test papers were issued, and the second gong sounded and the chief examiner gave the order before they could flip through them. This was also for fairness.
Li Chun was almost at the last position. When he got the test paper, the time was almost done. He waited patiently for about five minutes, and then another crisp sound of the gong was heard, and then the old voice of the chief examiner rang out.
"Everyone, you can read the book!"
With a clamor, all the candidates couldn't wait to flip through the test paper. Li Chun looked at the paper, and it was indeed the same as in previous years. There were dozens of places in front of them, and nine Taoist books accounted for about five places. He glanced at it and could memorize it. He didn't rush to fill it in at the moment, and first set his eyes on the last big question.
“Huh?”
Li Chun was surprised to see this question.
There was a sound of gasping in the entire examination room at the same time, but I was afraid that most of the candidates would be stumped by the last question!
"quiet!"
The chief examiner shouted violently, and all kinds of noises disappeared immediately, but every candidate was feeling uncomfortable. Li Chun could clearly see that cold sweat oozed out of the woman in front of him, and wet her coat.
"How come such a difficult question arises? What is the chaos of yin and yang?"
The question is still from the third volume of the nine-volume Taoist books, but the four words "Yin and Yang Chaos" are not commented in the book, let alone the discussion of the development and development? It might not be too difficult to give such a question in the county exam, but for the scholar exam that is just an introductory exam, it is a bit too off-the-scene!
There has never been such a situation in Qingfeng City's previous years, I am afraid that most of the candidates will be caught off guard.
Li Chun was also startled at first, and then calmed down again.
"It might be better, the previous dictation is not too difficult. As long as you are all right, the scores in the first exam will not be too low, and it will not affect the admission. Moreover, I don't know, but I'm afraid that most people will not know either, so that's still the same..."
Li Chun calmed down and put aside the last big question, and first steadily wrote the previous dictation. He memorized the nine volumes of Taoist scriptures for three years. Moreover, there were some residues in his previous memory, which were already very familiar. As long as he mentioned the previous sentence, he could continue the previous and next sentences. He wrote them all the way, but he finished it in one go without any bumps.
The number of questions was quite large, and it took him almost two hours to finish the dictation. It was almost noon. He saw that everyone was still writing hard, and many people were scratching their ears and searching for their dry intestines, and they felt even more confident.
The first exam will not end until the afternoon of the exam. The whole day of the exam is taken. Li Chun still has a big question left. Although he doesn't know, he doesn't have to be empty. He can answer it for granted. One afternoon, he is not in a hurry. He took the biscuits from the basket and ate them with goat's milk. He ate two persimmons. Then he burped, and saw that it was still early, so he lay on the table and slept for a while.
Among the candidates, he is the only one who is most carefree.
"Who is that scholar? He has a bit of the style of a famous scholar..."
The examiner also noticed him and asked his colleagues in a low voice.
"That's Li Chun, who participated in the Cold Dew Club, once injured Xinyin Jun with one sword. How could he be an idiot!"
"Oh? That's this person? It's true!"
"Seeing his confident look, the last big question did not seem to stump him! That's really a Taoist martial arts talent!"
After reading the test paper, the examiners also felt that the last big question was difficult. In fact, the candidate's performance also proved this point. Although Li Chun had not started to do this question, he was not in a hurry. The examiners only said that he was quite sure.
The theory of Taoism is difficult and obscure, and it will be further explored unless it is a Taoist priest. For officials, as a theory of governance, most of the examinees in Qingfeng City are just from county trials. They are not sure if they ask them to answer this question, and they may not be able to explain it perfectly. Seeing that Li Chun is so relaxed, he is looking forward to his answer.
Li Chun woke up after taking a nap and felt full of energy. He looked at the blank space at the end of the test paper, sighed slightly, picked up his pen, and was about to start making up.
Maybe he can be fooled?
"The chaos of Yin and Yang...the chaos of Yin and Yang..."
He murmured to himself, frowning slightly.
The nine Taoist books in the Mitian world, to put it bluntly, are about yin and yang and five elements, all things in the world, yin and yang are opposite, changes and decline, and even breed all things and reproduce the world.
Only when yin and yang are established can everything in this world have rules.
"So this word "chao" means "chao"?"
Li Chun began to look at the meaning of the text, but suddenly he thought of another example. He did not hesitate and wrote a lot of nonsense.
“It’s better than not writing anything…”
This test technique was taught by his teacher in his previous life.
Li Chun finished writing in one breath, picked up the paper, blew it, and dried the ink. Then he flipped the test paper and put it on the table, indicating that the test had been completed. The candidates around him saw that he was full of papers, but he still had no idea about the last question, so he couldn't help but feel envious.
The examiner was amazed when he saw it from afar. They all wanted to come over and see Li Chun's answer immediately. Unfortunately, due to the rules of the examination room, they had to wait until everyone checked the papers before reading them. They could only endure it like a cat grabbing in their hearts.
Li Chun handed in advance, and someone took him out of the examination room and rested in the number room behind. This was also a place for candidates to spend the night. Each person and number one, it was very small, and there was only a small bed.
Before the three exams were completely over, no one could leave. It seemed that the rules were very strict, but Li Chun also felt that there was no need. He lay lazily on the bed, watching the sky getting late, and ate two more meat pies, and didn't worry about it, so he fell asleep.
In the evening, many candidates whispered across the wall, all of whom were worried, and some even cried quietly. It was obvious that they felt that they failed the first exam and there was no hope for this issue.
None of this affected Li Chun's dream. He didn't wake up until dawn, finished washing, and followed the crowd into the second exam room.
This game is a test of the law.
The law of Taoism.
Taoism uses the power of heaven and earth to create various magical powers. If it can induce the power of heaven and earth, it is considered to have entered the Taoism.
This time the examination room is divided into five areas.
"gold"!
"Wood"!
"water"!
"fire"!
"earth"!
The west is metal, the east is wood, the north is water, the south is fire, and the center is earth. This is exactly the distribution of the five elements.
The Taoism in this world is also divided into five elements into five systems.
For those who have just come to take the exam for scholars, as long as they can reluctantly use a series of Taoism, they can be considered qualified. Moreover, in the five district examination rooms, there are Taoists who are urging the power of heaven and earth to help, and the corresponding Taoism in the corresponding area is more likely to be triggered.
Unless you are really difficult to sense the power of heaven and earth, this level is easy to pass. (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!)
