Chapter 150: Explore the incomplete scriptures and paintings again (2)
When Yang Ji was at the third level of martial arts, he once consciously entered the Sutra painting to explore. Now his strength has skyrocketed, reaching the fifth level of martial arts, and he has also opened up Xiao Zhoutian. His strength is completely different from the same.
Unexpectedly, when I entered the scroll to explore, I was also sucked into the human body. And I still couldn't figure out the secret of this scroll.
"Ziyang Dongtian, Ziyang Dongtian... It turns out that the cave in the sutra painting is called Ziyang Dongtian. I have seen this cave on the mountainside during several explorations. The secret of this sutra painting must be hidden here."
Yang Ji's heart was filled with thoughts, and thoughts flashed through his mind.
Although he was still shocked out of the scripture paintings, being able to know the name of the cave was also a gain. Although he hadn't explored it yet, Yang Ji already had a feeling.
This seemingly incomplete sutra painting is probably different from any sutra painting I have ever come into contact with. It is a mysterious, brand-new sutra painting that I don't know about.
"By the way, what was that pressure I felt last..."
Yang Ji's heart moved, his arms stretched out, and he picked up the broken sutra paintings that had fallen from the ground. When he picked up the sutra paintings with five fingers, Yang Ji couldn't help but jump in his heart:
"What's going on? Why do the scripture paintings seem so much heavier?"
Yang Ji frowned. He could never make a mistake about weight. In just a moment, the scroll seemed to undergo a different change.
If the original sutra paintings were as heavy as a page of paintings, then the sutra paintings that Yang Ji now feels on his fingertips are like a thick book.
He picked up the sutra painting, patted it, and turned it over. Although he had some premonitions in his heart, Yang Ji was still surprised when he actually saw it:
The peaks and caves in the entire sutra painting seem to be emerging from the painting, giving people a three-dimensional structure. A faint mist, if present or not, is lingering around the peaks in the sutra painting.
"How is this going?"
Yang Ji fell silent, his eyes thoughtful.
In the next few hours, Yang Ji has been studying this sutra painting - constantly inputting spiritual power and blood energy into it, but the peaks on this half of the sutra painting have not changed except that they are more vivid and three-dimensional.
.
In essence, it is still a painting!
"Both my mental strength and vitality have reached my limit. - It seems that my strength is not enough."
Yang Ji secretly thought in his heart.
With his strength comparable to the sixth level of martial arts, he was still unable to make the prototype of this sutra painting found in a small town appear, which made Yang Ji feel a lot of shock.
No matter what the secrets of this scripture painting are, at least one thing Yang Ji can be sure of is that the level of this scripture painting is definitely more than the fifth level of martial arts.
Although I don’t know what it originally looked like, at least it’s definitely not on the same level as those dilapidated scriptures and paintings sold for cheap in the town at the foot of the Tieguan Sect Mountain!
"This scripture painting is too mysterious. It seems that more powerful strength is needed to lift its veil. We can only wait until later."
Yang Ji secretly thought in his heart.
After six or seven consecutive attempts, Yang Ji had to give up his plan to reveal the true face of this incomplete scripture painting.
Around midnight, Zhao Hua, Lin Qingyan, Pan Chen and Ouyang Zishi came over carrying lots of large and small bags, all bringing food for Yang Ji.
"Junior Brother Yang, what are the plans of the leader of the martial arts in one fell swoop this time?"
Pan Chen looked at Yang Ji and said with a smile.
Yang Ji was silent for a moment, and said with a thoughtful look in his eyes: "I plan to stay here for two more days."
"oh?"
After hearing Yang Ji's words, everyone in the room who was still having fun suddenly became quiet and all looked at Yang Ji.
"What? Do you have anything else to do in Langya City?"
Zhao Hua said.
"no."
Yang Ji shook his head: "There are only a few days until the writing test is marked. I want to wait until the results of the writing test are out before I leave."
Zhao Hua, Pan Chen, Lin Qingyan and others looked at each other in confusion.
"Are you worried that Yang Xuanlan will use tricks in the literary test?"
Pan Chen said thoughtfully.
"But... according to the rules of the martial arts examination, the person who comes first in the competition has never lost the martial arts leader!"
Lin Qingyan raised her eyebrows and said in surprise.
She couldn't believe that the imperial court would dare to do this. As long as Yang Ji's article ranked among the top twelve, he would be a sure-fire leader of Wu. Unless they eliminated him from the top twelve.
But this is too shocking and will cause criticism!
"It's not a question of whether or not, it's a question of whether I will do it or not."
Yang Ji said in a deep voice, his eyes looking extremely deep.
Although he defeated Bai Julu in the ring competition, the matter was far from over. In fact, even before the martial arts examination was held, Yang Ji knew that Yang Ji would definitely tamper with the literary examination, and he had always been deeply worried.
Yang Xuanlan had suffered so many hidden losses, so it was absolutely impossible not to take action during the most important and best part of the literary test.
He is the governor of Langya County and the deputy examiner of the martial arts examination.
He may not have as much power as Wang Tai when it comes to fighting in the ring, but he has considerable autonomy when it comes to grading essay papers.
Until the dust settled at the last moment and the truth came to light, Yang Ji didn't dare to be careless at all.
"But if he really does this, he is really risking the disapproval of the world. This kind of thing has never happened in any county."
Pan Chen lowered his head, his eyes flashing with wisdom:
"You also heard the cheers of the match that day. I bet that no one in this arena has ever attracted as much attention as you. If you suddenly lose your position as the leader of Wu, it will definitely cause an uproar."
"Routines are meant to be broken..."
Yang Ji sighed and said, "Besides, he is the examiner!"
The atmosphere in the room was very depressing. In each county, if they can get the first place in the martial arts test, they are basically the most likely to be the martial leaders. This is regarded as the default rule.
Everyone originally thought that Yang Xuanlan would not dare to break this rule that everyone abides by, but when they remembered that Yang Ji was deprived of the qualification for the martial arts examination, and the sect list was handed in on the first day, and was sent back the next morning, and was directly removed from the list, they felt
Yang Ji's worries are not necessarily unnecessary.
With Yang Xuanlan's acting style, this kind of thing can definitely be done.
"That shouldn't happen, right?"
Lin Qingyan said. Women always tend to think from the good side, but this time even she didn't believe it.
"Whether we can successfully get the title of Chief Wu will be known in the next few days. I hope... that won't happen."
Yang Ji raised his head, a trace of deep worry flashed in his eyes.
The only one we can count on now is Mr. Wang Tai. From asking Wang Xian for help, to studying Wang Tai's "Martial Arts", to visiting the house, and then to the martial arts examination...
Yang Ji only hoped that his performance would leave a deep impression on Wang Tai and ask him to pay special attention to him and not let Yang Xuanlan succeed.
But Yang Ji himself has no idea whether it will have any effect...
…
As time passed slowly, there were fewer and fewer candidates in Langya City. As the prosperity faded, more and more candidates began to return to their original sects or villages.
While Yang Ji was still waiting for the final news at Wusheng Station, the entire Langya County civil and military officials were busy.
The martial arts competition is officially over. The grading of the literary test will officially begin according to the rules.
The status of the literary test is not as important as the martial arts test, but it is equally important. It is an important basis for determining the final ranking of the twelve martial arts scholars in the martial arts examination.
Different from what many people imagine, this grading is completely independent and will not be affected by the martial arts test. All candidates' papers must be ranked in the shortest possible time without prejudice.
Every article needs to be evaluated repeatedly!
This is bound to be a very busy period.
According to the rules of marking for the literary examination, the marking for the literary examination adopts a cross-marking method. In the early stage, it was first evaluated by all civil and military officials. Then it was handed over to the two examiners Wang Tai and Yang Xuanlan for marking.
In this process, the two imperial examiners have considerable autonomy. In this process, the two examiners basically do not have a primary or secondary role, and both parties respect each other.
Being able to serve as military commanders of the imperial court itself proves the ability of the two examiners. Therefore, in this regard, the imperial court maintains absolute trust in the abilities of the two examiners.
It's May, and Langya City is filled with the fragrance of locust flowers.
In the center of Langya City, there is a heavy guard. A dark hall stands, and the riveted door is opened. Inside is a military officer sitting in front of rows of metal desks, all sweating profusely and working nervously.
I have graded the test papers of thousands of candidates.
Each and every one of them even sweated into the tea cup and drank it into their mouth without even realizing it.
The review of papers has a time limit and must be completed within a few days. You can imagine the pressure.
There was silence in the main hall, except for the sound of reviewing test papers.
At the top of the hall, facing rows of civil and military officials, the beaded curtains were raised, and Wang Tai sat in a separate review room to supervise the entire examination room.
"The literary talent is good, the calligraphy is elegant, but unfortunately, there is no thought, alas..."
Wang Tai read the test papers in his hand, sighed, and put the candidate's essay aside. The martial arts examination is not the liberal arts examination, even if it involves the literary examination, it is different.
The calligraphy is graceful and the literary talent is elegant, but it is useless. There is no thought, no real knowledge and insights... It will be of no benefit in the exam and will only fail.
Wang Tai sighed and glanced at the thick piles of test papers next to him. These were all initially selected by the civil and military officials below. However, there were only a few who could really get through the discernment of Wang Tai, an old general.
Rubbing his eyes, Wang Tai called the captain next to him and pointed at the test papers piled high on the metal table:
"Take it down."
"yes!"
The captain understood and waved a few soldiers to move the test papers down.
Marking test papers is very mentally taxing, even more energy-consuming than fighting on the battlefield. But it's all coming to an end soon. The marking of the literary test is almost over now.
"When the rankings of the literary test are determined, this trip to Langya will be almost over. This time we can find several up-and-comers with amazing talents, which can be regarded as an explanation to the imperial court."
Wang Tai took the freshly brewed Tieguanyin on the table and took a sip, feeling quite pleased. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature for better and faster novels!
