Chapter 4 Xianwen Examination

The wound on the left shoulder was aching slightly, but Yang Xiu did not dare to distract himself. He focused on grinding ink and laying paper, and held a pen in his right hand and wrote carefully.

First, confirm that the name, hometown and other information were filled in correctly. Yang Xiu then wrote a thousand-character text on rice paper word by word. Almost every word took dozens of seconds, and the longer it took, the longer it took.

It’s not that these Chinese characters are so complicated that Yang Xiu has seen even the most complicated Chinese characters.

But when Yang Xiu wrote these words one by one on paper, there was always a mysterious force preventing Yang Xiu from writing. Every stroke and every stroke was extremely exhausting. The small brush in his hand seemed to weigh more than a thousand pounds. At the end of the writing, large beads of sweat began to appear on Yang Xiu's forehead, and his right hand trembled slightly under the soreness and swelling, and he felt like he was losing his strength.

Identification obstacles are everywhere, and it turns out that's true.

Yang Xiu temporarily put down his brush, rubbed his aching wrist, and wiped the sweat from his face. He memorized the words silently. It was one thing to write them out, and it was another thing to write them out.

Each immortal text has its own functions, such as "fast" and "fast", which can make people move faster, run like the wind, "heal" and "medical" can speed up the recovery of injuries, etc. Depending on the writer's level of cultivation, the effectiveness of immortal texts is also different.

A higher level of immortal cultivator can even use magic by just chanting the immortal texts - slaughtering a hundred people by shouting the word "kill", and chanting the word "freeze" can make the entire lake freeze in summer, with infinite power.

These wonderful immortal techniques require spiritual power to cooperate. People absorb spiritual power through immortal arts and strengthen the effectiveness of immortal arts through spiritual power. The two complement each other and are indispensable.

When writing verbally, the consciousness obstacles that immortals need to overcome are much more difficult than when simply memorizing.

Yang Xiu sorted out the relevant memories and took a while before he started writing again. The horizontal and vertical lines appeared one by one on the rice paper.

Whenever Yang Xiu breaks through the obstacle of consciousness and writes words, he always feels all kinds of bizarre illusions appearing in front of him.

When I wrote about "The spiritual energy is as vast as the sea", I heard the sound of waves, terrifying waves and terrifying momentum!

When I wrote about "climbing against the wind", the illusion of a cliff suddenly flashed in front of me, as if I was on a cliff, and I was about to fall down and fall into a fleshy mud in the next moment! The strong wind around me was almost blowing away, and my hands holding the pen were a little unstable!

When he wrote "The spiritual power enters the meridians and feels like fire", the surroundings immediately rose, and his body was so hot that Yang Xiu even vaguely smelled the burnt smell of his hair...

All these are different.

Every time he writes a word, Yang Xiu's willpower has to be tested. As long as his mind is a little unstable, the pen dipped ink will lose control. Only a pool of thick black ink marks remain on the rice paper, and there is no trace of the ancient immortal text.

While Yang Xiu was writing quickly, other candidates were often humming or screaming from around him. Someone forced his writing despite the powerful obstacles to recognize the obstacle, but was injured by the obstacle to recognize the obstacle.

Yang Xiu focused on himself and held Yuan Shuyi, abandoned other distracting thoughts, and took more than an hour to successfully complete the Thousand Characters text.

The soreness and swelling of the arms and the tearing and pain of the shoulder wounds stimulating Yang Xiu's nerves. Yang Xiu couldn't help but breathe a long sigh, his heart full of accomplishment. He could write the full text for the first time, and this speed must have exceeded many people.

But after thinking about it, Yang Xiu immediately warned himself: The path of cultivation is full of difficulties, and this is just the first step toward immortal cultivation. You must be down-to-earth and not be drifty.

Writing a thousand-character essay is just the first item in the exam, and the next is "pointing sentences", that is, breaking sentences for the article.

As long as the article is correctly classified, it means that the candidate has understood the content of the article, which is undoubtedly a higher level than the level of writing the whole text.

At present, most people are memorizing rote and have no energy to visualize the content of the article. Yang Xiu is different. Yang Xiu knows the meaning of every word in this article, but Yang Xiu knows the step of "visualization" has been directly skipped by Yang Xiu.

Therefore, compared with the first dictation of the thousand-character essay, the second sentence reading test is much simpler for Yang Xiu.

In Yang Xiu's memory, in the past two-year examination, there was never a genius who wrote the full text and read the sentence correctly. After a little consideration, Yang Xiu did not mark the sentence for the full text, but left the final practice formula without sentences.

One step ahead is a genius, two steps ahead are monsters. The subsequent practice formula is too difficult, and Yang Xiu knows the principle of shooting a first bird with a gun, so it is better to be safer.

At this time, the space was silent, and the candidates were all thinking hard.

The fog flies in the square, quiet and lofty, making people feel refreshed. Many literary students have taken the opportunity to break through the consciousness obstacles that have troubled them for a long time.

Some candidates were exhausted when they wrote and were sent out of the examination room by the guarded disciples of the Tianshu Pavilion; more people only wrote a dozen words and were wasted all their efforts. They could not remember the contents afterwards. There was still a large blank space on the rice paper in front of them, and some even burst into tears in a hurry.

The third and last item of the exam are the most difficult: the test paper gives the questions and asks the candidate to write poems according to the questions.

The ancient immortal texts are infinitely wonderful. Cultivators with extraordinary talents have the opportunity to comprehend immortal texts by themselves, learn Chinese characters without a teacher, and learn them before. This is also one of the differences between geniuses and ordinary people.

Speaking of which, although Yang Shaotian is extremely arrogant, Yang Shaotian is indeed talented. It is said that he had learned a lot of Chinese characters without a teacher a few months ago, and he is a genius that is rare in a century.

Of course, literacy is one thing, and being able to create articles with Chinese characters is another difficulty. Fortunately, Yang Xiu only needs to write ordinary poems now.

The question given in the test paper is "Four Seasons", choose any one.

"...Isn't this a semi-propositional essay?" Yang Xiu subconsciously stretched out his hand to scratch the corner of his eyebrows and murmured.

The level of poetry directly shows a person's proficiency in Chinese, so poetry and essays will be popular among immortal practitioners for a while. The ability to write poetry and essays well in immortal writing is at least proves that this person's talent in immortal writing is beyond others, and he is even more famous for his talented man and beautiful woman. It is normal for this to appear in literary examinations.

But Yang Xiu was not sure whether there were ancient Chinese poems here, so even though there were countless poems about Wing Chun in his mind, there were many famous quotes that had been passed down for thousands of years, Yang Xiu was not sure and dared not write them.

What if the old monsters who have lived for hundreds or thousands of years have also read these ancient poems?

Yang Xiu frowned and thought for a while, but decided to make up for a song. Anyway, his current identity is an ordinary literary student. As long as he rhymes and smoothly, he will definitely be qualified.

Calm and calm, Yang Xiu recalled the natural scenery of the snowy scenery in the surrounding mountains when he first came to this world. His pen swam and left a faint ink mark on the rice paper.

Spring Hunting

Winter snow covers the mountains and forests

Sunrise and far peaks stacked clouds

Lower eyebrows and twist feather strings and shocked

Suddenly, I saw a green rabbit holding spring

This poem is different from the Thousand Character Immortal Text, because the poem only describes scenery and does not involve the content of cultivating immortals. It is much easier to overcome simple obstacles to knowing the truth than writing Thousand Character Immortal Text. After confirming that there are no typos again, Yang Xiu then calmed down and gently blew the ink marks on the test paper.

While checking the test paper, Yang Xiu thought that Chinese characters have become immortal characters and immortal texts here. What about those poems that can be called treasure pearls in Chinese culture? Are Chinese characters just simple tools to record exercises here? Are there any other uses that have never been discovered?

Yang Xiu thought a lot after thinking about it intermittently. Thinking that there was still plenty of time, Yang Xiu simply calmed down and began to practice the way of breathing.

However, Yang Xiu realized that the spiritual energy in the exam room was so strong that it was shocking! Yang Xiu could only meditate for a cup of tea, and a numb feeling came from the wound. Soon he couldn't even feel the pain at all, and the discomfort felt when moving his shoulders were very mild.

This method of cultivating immortals is indeed magical! It is much better than many magical medicines in the world.

Yang Xiu was very excited. He knew that the opportunity was rare, so he seized the time to concentrate on his practice. I don’t know how long it took, but a crisp sound of gongs suddenly sounded in his ears, and the exam time was up!

After breathing a sigh of relief, Yang Xiu opened his eyes and got out of his breathing state. His previous fatigue and pain had already been wiped out.

The rice paper in front of the candidates automatically floated up, and it disappeared into the mist like snow all over the sky. The scene was extremely spectacular. Many candidates screamed in shock before they finished writing the test paper, and tried to grab the flying paper with their hands but in vain.

The flying test paper quickly disappeared, and everyone was left staring at the white mist sky in a daze. Not long after, the young scholar appeared again, and his clear voice spread throughout every corner of the square.

"After the initial examination, the top 400 students in the examination results can become temporary disciples of Tianshu Pavilion, and the top 100 students can become inner disciples. The list of 400 people will be announced later, and the specific ranking is waiting for notices from local governments."

The young scholar's words gradually faded and his figure disappeared, leaving behind a group of Wensheng, who were either confused or excited, sitting in his original place, feeling panic.

At the same time, in a building not far from the open space in the examination room.

Old Zhu Ji's face was flushed, holding a paper covered with handwriting, and smiled at the young scholar beside him, "Good words! Good poems! So understanding! Hahaha~ I have been practicing immortality for more than 300 years, but my words are not as good as a doll. Thousand-word text is just a thousand-character text. Wen Zhong, you look at this poem, closely linked to the topic but not without being flexible. It is rare that this boy is still so young, good, good~"

"That's true, but..."

Liu Wenzhong nodded with a smile on his face, but hesitated for a moment and continued: "The qualifications for cultivating immortals have been divided into two parts since ancient times: the qualifications for comprehension literature and the qualifications for cultivating exercises. This young man named Yang Xiu had excellent talent for immortal literature, but unfortunately his meridians were naturally narrow. If he did not have advanced exercises and perseverance, he might not be able to become grand."
