Chen Yan stayed for more than ten days and then returned to Fucheng. In the following days, Gu Yu spent the next few days preparing for the exam.

Gas extraction is fundamental, which determines its own upper limit, cultivation is the key, this is the safety guarantee. In addition, he also used his family's treasury to ask the worship to refine a short sword.

Nothing too surprising, just sharper and tougher than a regular steel sword.

In the small world, Du is a master, martial arts is a small way, and monks rarely specialize. So it was very strange in the house, seeing him comparing and drawing in the courtyard every day, and pulling Cao Huazhang to fight from time to time, he felt that it was a waste of time.

Waste of time?hehe, funny!

A few months have passed in the blink of an eye, and the autumn exam has arrived.

Luming County belongs to Xichuan Prefecture, Xichuan Prefecture is next to Lutai Mansion, and the Taoist temples of the two prefectures are all subordinate to Benzhuzhi. The palace of Zhenyang Kingdom will hold an assessment every spring, and those who fail to pass will be expelled and re-recruited in the autumn of that year.

Therefore, the autumn exam is not held every year, and the quota must be vacated. And Luming is Wang County, according to the regulations, there should be a master, a prestige, a teacher, and 12 disciples, a total of 15 people.

Weiyi is responsible for supervision, the eight-rank Taoist official, the teacher is responsible for education, and the nine-grade Taoist official is also the lowest level.

In the early morning of this day, the Chen Mansion was busy early.

Chen Jing personally accompanied him and rode a carriage to Lumingguan, ten miles south of the city. He was not very confident, but seeing that his youngest son closed his eyes slightly, the old god was there, and he looked confident.

After a journey, the carriage arrived at the palace. The scale is not small, and there is no so-called main hall and side hall, because the Tao here is not a religion. It's just a few courtyards together, with classrooms, residences, dining rooms, meeting halls, Dan rooms, instrument rooms, and nearby spiritual fields, animal parks, and arenas...... It's a little more like the academy.

"Master, young master, it's here!"

The coachman greeted, Chen Jing and Gu Yu got out of the carriage, and saw that there were many carriages parked in front of the audience, and some people in shabby clothes looked at each other.

"There are two places, one for the poor family and one for the scholars, and the test content is different, so you don't have to worry about them, the biggest opponent is still Xu Jie. ”

Chen Jing took his son's hand and repeated the instructions he had said many times, and sent them to the gate before letting go.

The father went back to rest, and the boy went in. ”

Gu Yu bowed to Chen Jing and strode in.

After a while, a small Taoist came out and shouted: "When the hour comes, the idle people should retreat and close the door!"

"Boom!"

The two heavy wooden doors slowly closed, obscuring everyone's gaze.

However, he said that Gu Yu came in and was led to the atrium, and after looking around, there were more than 50 people who participated in the exam, ranging from white-haired old men to drooping young children, and their styles were very inconsistent.

Because in principle, there is no age limit, as long as there is a local squire, scholar, lizheng, monk, etc., you can participate, of course, whether people accept it or not is another matter.

The crowd stood in two groups, and Xu Jie was comfortable in it. When he saw Gu Yu, he didn't dare to make a noise and provoke, but he squinted his eyes, revealing a thick mockery.

Tsk, like a dog!

Gu Yu smashed his mouth and ignored it.

After a while, a disciple came out, named twenty people, and entered a large room on the right. He heard Chen Jing say that like these illiterate ordinary people from poor families, the Taoist Temple is also willing to give them a chance.

Generally speaking, it is based on qualifications, roots, and innocence, and those who are excellent can become candidates to compete for the scarce places.

Soon after they entered, another disciple came out to take a roll call, and the remaining thirty or so were taken to another big house. There are many tables inside, and the tables are covered with pen, ink and paper rolls.

A thin female Taoist stood in front of her, her eyebrows and eyes were warm, and her attitude was amiable. The disciple introduced: "This is the teaching of this view, Xun Yu Dao Chief. ”

The crowd hurriedly saluted.

"This assessment is divided into two sessions, the first literary test, a stick of incense time, after the test, I will review it in the classroom, you can find your own seat. ”

She explained briefly, there was no special procedure, and everyone was seated.

Following the incense sticks lit, Xun Yu sat upright with his eyes closed, showing more demeanor in the smoke, like a living Bodhisattva. But everyone below trembled in their hearts, only to feel a soft aura sweeping through the audience, and there was no secret at all.

"Contemplation?"

Gu Yu glanced at her a few times, then ignored it anymore, and looked down at the paper, the amount of questions was not large, but it was very miscellaneous. Some asked about the history of Zhenyang Kingdom, some asked about the essentials of cultivation, and some asked a question that had been debated for a hundred years, so that they could write their opinions.

However, there is one thing, they are all relatively basic, quite similar to the children's examination in the imperial examination.

He had heard his father mention that the literary examination was specially prepared for people like himself, and he had studied it very thoroughly over the years. The Chen Mansion is a county family and has its own reserves.

Gu Yu had practiced many times before, and after a little thought, he wrote with a pen.

Most of the candidates around them were like this, and the speed was very fast, and then they paused one after another, as if they had encountered a problem.

"Heh, it's interesting, I actually asked about the attitude towards Qiyuan Kingdom......

Gu Yu looked at the last question and couldn't help laughing.

The examination paper was produced by Coats of Takeji, who is a senior teacher and is also responsible for the education of the jurisdiction. Zhenyang Kingdom has been far away from war and peaceful for hundreds of years, and the people and monks are like domestic pets, and they have lost their sense of crisis.

Qiyuan Guo's request for marriage has many supports, but few opposition. As a result, this Gao Shiming was written in the test paper, and I am afraid that he is a rare person who is willing to think.

He put pen to paper and thought about it, and then wrote down a few sentences.

After checking it again, the incense was almost burning, and many people got up to hand in the papers, and Gu Yu also handed them in. Everyone did not leave, but still sat in the same place and waited.

I saw that Xun Yudao was holding the test papers, flipping through them one by one, frowning from time to time. Suddenly, her eyes froze, and she stared at a paper without moving.

There was a short passage written on it:

"Someone's evil rat, breaking the house and seeking a good cat, disgusted with fishy ointment, sleeping with felt. Cats are full and peaceful, and they don't eat rats, and even play games with mice, and rats are violent. ”

This is a very popular story in Zhenyang Kingdom, which is similar to the idiom allusion of Xia Kingdom.

It is said that there is a man who hates mice so much that he spends all his money on a good cat. He fed it with delicious fish meat and put it to sleep with soft felt. Since the cat is well fed and comfortable, it is reluctant to catch mice, and even frolic with mice, which makes rats even more rampant.

Xun Yu looked at it for a long time before moving his gaze upward, and his name was written on the head of the volume: Chen Yu.

She glanced at a boy sitting in the middle of the table again, and turned over the test paper.

It didn't take much time for her to finish the review and said, "Zhang Jun, Ou Shun, Gu Feng...... Go home. ”

ordered five in one breath, and these five people immediately turned pale, but they didn't dare to argue, so they reluctantly gave a salute and staggered out of the door.

………………

After the literary examination, everyone returned to the atrium.

Most of the other group of people had left, and there were still five people present, the youngest was four or five years old, and the eldest was twelve or thirteen, all cowering and looking terrified.

"Humph!"

Xu Jie looked down on them very much, and deliberately squeezed away a girl covered in patches. The girl stumbled and almost fell, and her eyes immediately turned red, but she couldn't bear to cry.

"One out of five, it's a good fate!"

"That is, why are you so harsh on us?"

"The above must balance the forces and promote the ...... of the poor"

"Shhhh

A group of people muttered and complained, and the five of them cowered in the corner, not daring to fight back.

Gu Yu watched from the side, his side is a son of a family, he has been studying since he was a child, and he started to take off. On the other hand, there are poor people and poor families, which cannot be compared in all aspects, but the imperial court and Chongxuanyuan are willing to give them a chance.

He felt interesting, his thoughts turned a lot, and suddenly he raised his eyes and saw that Xun Yudao was standing on the stone steps in front of him at some point.

"In a group of two, come in with me. ”

"Shan Tao, Kong Li!"

"Liu Yu, Wen Huan!"

A group went in, and after a while they came out again, or they were depressed or worried, and no one rejoiced. Soon came to the end, Xun Yu looked at it and said, "Xu Jie, Chen Yu!"

"In!"

The two glanced at each other, and Xu Jie raised his eyebrows very covertly, as if he was determined to win.

Gu Yu felt strange in his heart, and followed Xun Yu into the inner hall, and saw two Taoists sitting inside. A drooping old man, full of gray hair, obviously about to end his life. Another middle-aged man has a straight face, and he looks very serious.

"This is the main view of Wu Laozi, the majesty of this view Guo Kezun. ”

"I've seen two seniors!"

Gu Yu and Xu Jie bowed down together, and Xun Yu also sat on the third chair, but the three of them reviewed it together.

"Get up!"

Wu Laozi closed his eyes, didn't say a word, and seemed to be asleep. Guo Kejing waved his hand, his tone was rigid and indifferent, and said, "Xu Mansion, Sweet Water Lane, Luming County, Xu Jie?"

"In!"

Xu Jie hurriedly stepped forward.

"At the age of eight, I learned the method of collecting qi, and now it has been four years, and I have practiced fifteen runes......"

Guo Kejing asked one by one according to the information at the time of registration, and Xu Jie should be.

Then, he turned to Wu Laozi, "Please watch the Lord!"

“……”

Wu Laozi moved at this time, but he didn't open his eyes, but the skin and flesh in the center of his forehead suddenly cracked, revealing a golden divine eye. This eyeball stared at Xu Jie, and released a golden ray of light that swept over him, and disappeared in an instant.

Immediately, the eyes of the gods also sank into the flesh, and the forehead returned to flatness.

"It is indeed engraved with fifteen runes, the internal qi is surging, the accumulation is quite deep, and the qualification is ......"

Wu Laozi paused and gave an evaluation: "Middle!"

Sizzle!

Gu Yu was greatly surprised, what kind of spell is this, could it be a magical power? You can even see a few runes engraved on it!

"Having such cultivation at a young age is really a material that can be made. ”

Guo Kejing nodded, as if he admired it very much, and then turned to Gu Yu again.

"Chen Yu, at the age of seven, he learned the method of refining qi, and in the past two years, he has cultivated seven talismans......"

"Exactly. ”

As before, after the Q&A, Wu Laozi opened his eyes again, and the golden light swept away. Gu Yu only felt that his soul trembled, and he couldn't help but be more and more surprised when he was seen clearly inside and out.

Wu Laozi was a little puzzled, and said: "The true qi is thin, but it is relatively pure, and there are indeed seven runes. ”

"What are your qualifications?" asked Guo Kejing.

"It's the same as the upper middle. ”

Wu Laozi said that, and then stopped talking.

Guo Kejing seemed to be the one in charge, and commented: "There are a total of 50 people in this autumn examination, and the examination has been completed. Xu Jie is diligent and studious, single-minded, and has excellent qualifications, so he should be selected.

There is also a seven-year-old orphan girl in Qingshan Village, Lu Xiaolian, who has an innocent background and high qualifications, and should also be selected. ”

He looked at Gu Yu again and said, "Chen Yu, he has a stubborn temperament, he is lazy and wandering, not enough to enter my door, go home!"

(There is also a ...... at night ）
