Chapter 139: Pre-Exam Anxiety
Under the service of the servant girl, Shen Xi rinsed his mouth and drank tea again. This reminded her of the scene in Longquan Immortal Mountain, where she once had an excellent, obedient maid named Nightingale, because she had an enviable good voice and sang very well.
The nightingale sang in the woods, and even wild beasts would come and listen to her sing quietly. But she died for the Lord. In order to avoid the enemy, the nightingale wore Shen Xi's clothes and lured the enemy away, and since then, Shen Xi has never seen her again, presumably already dead under the enemy's sword.
Alas...... Shen Xi sighed secretly, his expression solemn.
The priest before him entered the study and said, "Go back to the transept. ”
They were all obedient and obediently went to the back.
After that, the long wait began. The sun turns west, and night falls. Shen Xi was basically able to recite the "Cultivation of the Initial Technique", she put down the book and sat cross-legged to practice.
Just luckily to the Heart Sutra, Shen Xi's shoulder had a sharp pain, yes, the Heart Sutra will go from the heart to the fingertips, and it will pass through the shoulder, which is really fatal. She gathered the immortal power on her shoulders and protected the Heart Sutra. At this time, cultivation is not the most important thing, but recuperation is the most important.
Shen Xi secretly took the birth blood pill and ate one. However, the aroma of the blood pill attracted the attention of other candidates.
"Huh, what's the smell?"
"yes, it smells good."
……
Candidates look left and right, looking for the source of the aroma. Fortunately, Shen Xi's movements were fast and were not discovered.
Together, it was difficult for the candidates to be quiet.
It was already dark, and in the study, the line of sight was not good, and it was not easy to see clearly. People in the dark are prone to panic. The candidates are not very old, their minds are not yet complete, and they are not at ease.
"What's going on? Can't Qinghu School even afford lamp oil? It's all dark. ”
"yes. Isn't it time for us to go home? ”
"Where have the gentlemen gone? Isn't the first test over yet? How many people have applied for the exam? ”
"Really, don't come if you haven't cultivated, why bother people."
"That's it, that's it."
……
After the unitary time, the waiter came to light the lamp. The lamp is the most popular palace lamp on the market and is very bright. The windows were shut, and even the skylights were closed. The skylight closes with a silver mirror. The light of the palace lamp hit the top, illuminating the entire study brightly.
Sima Yuguang grabbed a waiter who was closing the window and asked, "What's going on?" Do you know how long we have to wait? ”
"Who knows. There was still a long queue outside the school! I heard that Mr. Yin was going to conduct a preliminary examination overnight. Before the test starts tomorrow morning, all candidates will be tested. ”
"Is it done?"
"There is not enough manpower, so Mr. Yin specially asked Scholar Luo for a few bachelor's degrees for a preliminary examination together."
"It's late. It's just not enough attention. Test what they do. ”
"Childe. In this recruitment, the emperor opened the emperor's list, and if he really missed any talent, it would be a smear on the emperor's face. Our Huqing School must ensure that no one is missed. said that it is the winter solstice recruitment, and those who come today are eligible for the initial examination. If there is a mistake, it is the incompetence of the Huqing Academy. ”
"What do you mean by saying that the exam starts early?"
"I also heard from other gentlemen. Tomorrow morning should be a literary exam. It seems that the boys and girls have to spend tonight in this study. ”
"So, what about dinner? I haven't seen dinner yet. ”
"Yes. When we get the window lights in place, we will have dinner. ”
Sima Yuguang hurriedly released the waiter. said: "Then you hurry up, hurry up and get it." ”
In fact, when Sima Yuguang was talking to the waiter, the others pricked up their ears and listened carefully, for fear that they would miss the hearing and suffer a loss.
Knowing that they couldn't go back tonight, they could only sleep on this simple straw mat, and everyone panicked. Especially the girls. They never stayed at night, let alone slept in the same room with a man.
Shen Xi didn't care, she could meditate instead of sleeping.
The servants and maidservants came with food plates, but the dinner made everyone dumbfounded, just a small bowl of porridge.
Shen Xi asked, "That's all for the night?" ”
"Yes." Zhan Xi replied: "The dinner at Huqing Academy is the easiest, and you should not eat anything too tired and fishy at night, and the porridge is the best." ”
Shen Xi picked up the porridge and drank it in a few clicks. Even Shen Xi felt that this porridge was too little.
Sima Yuguang slapped the table, pointed to the pitiful porridge on the case, and said, "That's it, it's not enough to stuff your teeth." ”
The waiter carefully advised, "Childe, you just bear with it, and when the exam is over tomorrow, go to the Drifting Fragrance Restaurant to have a good meal." ”
"How can you endure this, if you don't eat enough, where can you have the strength to take the exam!" Sima Yuguang said angrily.
His words immediately caused everyone to laugh.
"What are you laughing at!" Sima Yuguang glared and said, "Are you all fucking full?" ”
Shen Xi listened to it, and didn't realize that this Sima Yuguang seemed ridiculous, but he was also sincere and cute. I always feel that he doesn't look like a noble son in the capital. Shen Xi saw that the men and women in this house were all beautiful and delicate, but this Sima Yuguang was unique and different.
I really wonder how the gentle Zongzheng Sima Chang could raise such a bandit-like son.
In this way, Sima Yuguang and Xu Meng really have some imagination, but Sima Yuguang looks a little more upright, if Yuguang becomes Xu Meng's student, it must be very interesting.
That night, none of the students in this room slept much, and most of them were meditating and cultivating. Although they are young, they have all reached the foundation building period, and it is not difficult to stay awake all night.
When the dawn came, the servants and maidservants came in again to freshen up and make breakfast. Sima Yuguang didn't dislike having too little breakfast anymore, obviously, he was also nervous.
Shen Xi is looking forward to it. She knew the process of recruiting disciples from the major sects, but she didn't know anything about the enrollment of schools outside Longquan Immortal Mountain.
Literary exam, what will be tested, Shen Xi thought back to what he had learned in the past, although he didn't remember it so completely, but there should be no problem with taking the exam.
Many of the books she had read were written by mortals outside the Immortal Mountain.
Shen Xi originally thought that Huqing Academy should only look at immortal power when recruiting immortal cultivators, but he never thought that he would actually have to conduct a literary examination. She actually really wanted to ask the person next to her what the literary exam was, but she couldn't ask, she didn't want to humiliate herself.
The personalities of these noble sons and daughters in the capital are unpredictable, and in case of language conflicts, it is not a fight, and it is not a fight.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Shen Xi kept a rational silence.
Shen Xi looked outside, and many servants were busy on the Qingchi Terrace and the bluestone road outside the platform, carrying bookcases, straw mats, futons, pen, ink, paper, and inkstones.
The bookcases on the Blue Pond Terrace are arranged in a circular shape around the central platform. On the five bluestone roads outside Qingchi Terrace, there are two rows of bookcases.
After a short time, the candidates walked on the bluestone road in an orderly manner. They didn't sit down, but waited by the bookcase.
The candidates in the study room began to be anxious, thinking that everyone else had arrived in the examination room, why were they still waiting here like fools with tooth cards.
The appearance of Mr. Yin finally relieved the anxiety of the candidates a little. (To be continued......)
