"Hum—"

The flying sword buzzed and flew suddenly.

The black-robed old man closed his eyes and said, "Steward Wang, take care of the old man's body, and the old man will go back when he goes!" ”

Wang Cheng, who was standing in the dark behind him, was just about to nod and speak, when his heart suddenly jumped inexplicably.

He suddenly felt that this scene, this pair of whites, so familiar!

The old witch from before......

"Huh!"

The black-robed old man was out of his body, held the flying sword, and said majestically: "The old man is gone!" ”

With that, he shot out of the window.

In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the darkness of the distance.

Wang Cheng stood stunned in the darkness for a while, his eyes suddenly staring vigilantly at the body of the motionless old man sitting in front of him.

The old man's spirit was holding a flying sword, his hair fluttering, and he flew out of the mansion at a gallop.

Just as he was about to fly towards the Qin Mansion, the moonlight suddenly flashed above his head, and the dazzling light instantly obscured his vision.

"Ahh

A moment later, a terrible scream erupted in the room.

Immediately, the old man sitting on the ground suddenly jumped up from the spot, as if he was crazy, and pounced on Wang Cheng behind him!

Wang Cheng's face changed suddenly, he had already prepared, and punched him with a "boom".

The old man was directly knocked out, his head burst, and he was killed on the spot!

Wang Cheng clenched his fists and froze in the room for a long time, and Fang walked away quickly with a look of surprise and confusion.

In the Qin Mansion, the lights are bright.

The whole house has not slept all night.

Chengguo Fuzhong.

The eldest lady, Wang, also sat in the hall all night.

Every half an hour, new news will come, but the content is the same: "That kid is still unconscious, and the Qin Mansion has invited all the doctors in Mo City, but they are all helpless." The entire Qin Mansion was full of crying, and that Mrs. Song also cried all night......"

Although the words were the same every time he came to report, Wang had to listen to them again every time without saying a word.

The whole night did not sleep, she did not feel the slightest sleepiness, but became more and more excited.

Until dawn.

Before the sun rose, the government sent all the officials and guards to control the streets around the examination room, prohibiting noise, banning carriages, prohibiting the flow of people, and so on.

Candidates who had already gathered in the inner city began to rush to the examination room from the house, home, inn and other places.

The chief examiner, Lin Wentang, a bachelor of Hanlin, also took two adjutants and other officials, surrounded by guards, and rushed to the examination room in advance to inspect the arrangement.

The city of Meaux is lively, but also quiet.

The hawkers did not dare to shout any more, the business was suspended, the performers were driven off the streets, and everyone saw the candidates on the street, and they all got out of the way with envy and awe on their faces.

Although Da Yan still admires martial arts and respects martial arts, under the efforts and policies of today's saints, the status of civil officials has begun to gradually rise, and there is a tendency to compete with military attachés.

What's more, for ordinary people, any official is not something they can provoke.

In today's township examination, those who pass the examination are lifted.

After the promotion, he has the qualifications to run for office, and he is considered an alternate for the official, and he will definitely be an official in the future.

If you go further and get the Jinshi again, it will be even more powerful.

People whispered on both sides of the street, and the candidates, escorted by their parents, walked towards the examination room with large bags and small bags.

After the sun rises.

The surrounding area of the examination room has already been controlled.

In the examination room, I also checked it many times.

There was already a long queue outside the door, and many candidates knew each other and began to talk in a low voice, and those who didn't know each other also greeted each other, asked each other's names, and then "looked up for a long time" or something like that, and made a friend in advance.

In case the other party passes the exam, then there is one more friend.

If both of them win, then they can help each other in officialdom in the future.

It's hot.

Many candidates and parents stood for a while, already sweating.

At that time, the door bar opened.

Candidates begin to be inspected in turn, and enter the examination room one by one.

The inspection is very strict.

In addition to checking the food, pen, ink and inkstone on the body, you also have to take off your outer clothes and shoes to check, even if the clothes inside, you will open them to check them.

On the arms, on the legs, and so on, check them.

Finally, you have to open your mouth to talk to see if you have anything in your mouth, and then spread your hair out and check the inside of your hair.

Every candidate has been carefully checked before being allowed to enter the examination room.

If there is an entrainment, the exam will be invalidated on the spot.

When the candidates entered more than half of the house, in the Chengguo Mansion, the eldest lady Wang finally began to feel sleepy.

At this time, Wang Cheng walked in again and reported respectfully: "Madam, it should be no problem, that kid is still in a coma at home and has not gone out." At this time, all the candidates have almost entered the examination room, and the time to close the door is approaching. ”

Wang endured the sleepiness and said lightly: "Continue to guard until the door of the examination room is closed." ”

"Yes."

Wang Cheng respectfully retreated.

Another stick of incense passed.

Wang Cheng came in again to report: "Madam, no problem, that kid still hasn't left the house, and the examination room has begun to be closed." ”

Wang sneered, stood up and said, "Go, you can also go and rest." ”

With that, she walked to the back room.

Wang Cheng bowed and left.

Wang rubbed his head, and just as he lay down on the bed, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside.

Wang Cheng's frightened voice came: "Madam, there is news from the examination room, that kid suddenly appeared in the examination room, and he has already entered before the door is closed!" ”

Wang sat up from the bed suddenly, stunned for a few seconds, and immediately walked out with a gloomy face, looked at him and said, "What the hell is going on?" Didn't you say that the little bastard didn't leave the house? Why did you suddenly appear in the exam room? They didn't intercept halfway either? ”

Wang Cheng lowered his head tightly, and said with an ugly face: "The person guarding the door said that he didn't see that kid go out at all, and he didn't see anyone else go out...... Nor did they see the boy on the road...... Madame, this ...... This minion doesn't know what's going on......"

"Rubbish!"

Wang suddenly picked up a teacup from the table and slammed it on his head, his face suddenly became distorted and hideous, his body shook, and he almost fainted.

Wang Cheng bowed his head, his head full of tea, and he didn't dare to move.

Wang let out a heavy breath, stood for a while, and suddenly asked, "What is the state of that little bastard?" ”

Wang Cheng hurriedly said: "The news from the examination room said that when that kid entered the examination room, his steps were very slow and staggering, and when he took off his clothes at the door for inspection, he also fell and looked very weak. ”

A cold glint flickered in Wang's eyes.

Wang Cheng glanced up at her and said cautiously: "Madam, the effect of the medicine must still be there, that kid is probably preparing to take the exam, with his state, he will definitely not be able to take the exam." And this exam will last for three days inside, eating, drinking, and Lazar are all in a small cubicle, the weather is so hot, with that kid's body, it must be unable to support it, and it is possible to die suddenly inside. ”

Wang's heaving chest gradually calmed down.

She said with a gloomy face: "Let those wastes take care of them outside the examination room, and come back immediately to report if there is a situation." If something goes wrong again this time, just let them not come back. ”

"Yes, ma'am!"

Wang Cheng hurriedly responded.

Wang Shi looked at him coldly a few more times, then turned around and went into the back room, and lay down on the bed again.

Wang Cheng went out in person.

In the exam room.

Each candidate sits in a narrow cubicle.

The cubicle was very basic, with a table and stools, a small bed made of two planks, and a wooden barrel for easy use.

During the three-day exam, you can't go anywhere but this space.

Eat, drink, Lazar, it's all here.

Some candidates who are weak may not be able to hold on at all.

Almost every year in the exam, there are people who are sick and even faint.

Before the test papers were issued, the patrol officers checked them one by one again.

Luo Qingzhou sat in the cubicle and slowly studied the ink by himself.

The sun was scorching outside, but his heart was still as calm as water.

Soon, the bell rang and the test papers began to be distributed.

Patrol officers began to patrol and observe the entire examination room.

Luo Qingzhou got the test paper, but he didn't rush to look at it, and after studying Mo for a while, Fang spread out the test paper and looked at it.

The first question is the Analects, which is written silently.

Luo Qingzhou thought for a moment and put pen to paper.

[Zi said: "Liren is beautiful. If you don't choose to be benevolent, how can you know? ”

Zi said: "Those who are unkind cannot be with each other for a long time, and they cannot be happy for a long time." The benevolent are benevolent, and the knower is benevolent......]

It was written quickly.

I double-checked it twice before moving on to the next question.

The second question is the topic of "University": how to interpret and treat "those who want to be clear and virtuous in the world in the ancients will rule the country first; Those who want to rule their country must first gather their families; Those who want to gather their families......"

Luo Qingzhou groaned slightly, dipped his pen in ink, and replied: "In ancient times, those who wanted to promote the integrity and morality of the world must first govern their own country......

The third question is the topic in "The Mean".

Luo Qingzhou has already carried the rolling melon ripe, so naturally it is effortless, and it has been answered.

The next questions are not something that can be solved by rote.

"The Book of Rites" and "Mencius" each choose a topic, and then begin to write down their own discussions or opinions in combination with current affairs and government affairs.

After answering these two questions, it was already afternoon.

Then, with the title of "Lotus", I wrote a poem, with no limit to five words and seven words, and wrote another article.

Luo Qingzhou groaned slightly, and first wrote a poem: "The lotus leaf Luo skirt is cut in one color, and the hibiscus is open to both sides of the face." I can't see it when I enter the pool, and I feel that someone is coming when I hear the song. ”

He also wrote: "The flowers of land, water, grass and trees are very lovely. Everyone in the world loves peonies and chrysanthemums. To love the lotus out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons, straight through the outside, not vines and branches......"

After answering all the questions and checking it several times, it was already sunset.

Luo Qingzhou drank a few sips of water, and repeatedly checked from beginning to end, a few times, before putting down the test paper.

When it was almost dark, the bell rang and began to rewind.

Candidates can't move, can't talk to their neighbors, can't do other movements, and only have people to collect the papers.

After collecting the test papers, candidates can stand up and move, and they can eat and rest.

Luo Qingzhou stood up, moved casually, and then took out beef, snacks, and buns from the bag, and ate them.

When he came in in the morning for inspection, he broke all the food in half at the request of the guard at the door.

The beef is torn into strips, the dim sum is broken, and the buns are also broken to prevent entrainment inside.

At this time, when I eat it, it is not only hard, but also broken, and there is no taste anymore.

It's good to fill your stomach.

After dark, someone came in to clean up and replaced each compartment with a new wooden barrel, in which the urine and poop were resolved.

Around midnight, many of the candidates had already fallen asleep exhausted.

Luo Qingzhou lay on the simple wooden plank, looking at the bright moon and stars outside, his heart was as calm as water, and he did not feel sleepy.

Suddenly, his pupils shrank, he sat up, and his eyes widened to look at the bright moon.

A moon-white figure suddenly flashed in front of the bright moon, although it was short, but it fell clearly in his eyes.

"Is it Sister Yue?"

He said secretly in his heart.

"Buzz ......"

On hot and dry nights, mosquitoes are everywhere.

There was a "popping" sound and a low scolding from many of the cubicles.

It's almost early in the morning.

The entire exam room fell silent, and snoring was heard everywhere.

Luo Qingzhou lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and was out of his body.
