Chapter 296: Sages and Mediocrities
Guo Ling said: "If there is any damage to the Dan book, you can report it to the Temple of Literature truthfully, but if it is said that this matter and Ji Ning's spiritual power can be compared with that of the sages, this bachelor will definitely not believe it." I'll go out and name everyone in a while, and then try it! ”
Guo Ling was also a little puzzled, why Ji Ning could let a good Dan book be damaged.
He could only speculate that it might be a coincidence, or maybe there was something unusual about Ji Ning, such as some special power that was contrary to admission.
It turns out that outside the Temple of Confucianism, there has always been a force challenging the classics of Confucianism, and some people want to replace Confucianism by advocating other doctrines. And this doctrine, although it is the same learning, but it is closer to the ideas of Legalism or Taoism, and has been circulated for hundreds of years, has a certain scale, and now has formed several large schools, trying to find some people in the court to admire, so as to create public opinion, first to compete with Confucianism, and then gradually squeeze Confucianism off the altar.
When Guo Ling walked to the main hall with the new Dan book, all the people stood up, and at this time, the worship ceremony in the apse was over, and everyone wanted Guo Ling to give an explanation as to why the Dan book was damaged.
"This is the new Dan book, which was temporarily seconded from the Confucian Temple around Jinling, you have tried it first, this time...... Follow the order of the flashbacks, starting with the last place in the lift! "Guo Ling has also learned smartly, since it started with Xie Yuan last time, and Ji Ning was the first to let the Dan book be damaged, under the premise of not being sure what "demon power" Ji Ning has, it is better to let others try it first.
Ji Ning had no choice but to stand aside, but even so, he was still the focus of attention of the audience.
"Yongning, you don't have to worry, I believe that the incident just now is just a coincidence, or do you have any great magical powers?" Xie Tai, who was standing with him, comforted.
Ji Ning felt that it was not so simple, he had asked Tang Xie and Han Yu if they had seen the picture of the ancient sage preaching and solving doubts when they were fixing the name of the text three years ago, and both of them said no, and even in some official records about the name of the text, there was no phenomenon that happened to Ji Ning, and Ji Ning would not simply believe that it was a coincidence.
Ji Ningxin said: "Could it be that my spiritual power is so high that I can't even control the Dan book, so in the end, the Dan book is also invalid?" ”
The lifters in the middle of the lifting one by one go up to try, each person leaves more or less marks on the Dan book, next to a book that records the small seal font, each candidate who has finished the name of the article can go up and try to flip through it, temporarily see how many small seal fonts can be learned. According to the spiritual power of a person, the number of small seals that can be written in a day is still not much, but one or two sentences can be written, and this kind of words may be the medium of communication with the ghosts and gods.
As the team advanced, Xie Tai and Song Rui, who were only ranked in the middle and upper reaches, came back after being named, and the level of mental power of the two was not low, leaving a lot of marks on the Dan book, and the marks left by other people also had depths, and even some could not leave their own traces on the Dan book, which usually caused others to laugh, because these people who could not be accepted by the Dan book were not qualified to enter the Temple of Literature in the future, they could only learn to be an official, as for whether they were good officials or bad officials, it was another matter.
In the end, it was finally Ji Ning's turn again, and everyone looked at him.
The first Dan book has been damaged by Ji Ning's palm, and now the second Dan book is not even as good as the previous Dan book in terms of texture, if Ji Ning slaps it and there is a problem again, there will be no more spare ones, and Ji Ningding's literary name is likely to be delayed for a while.
"Master Ji, I advise you to take it easy, if you learn heresy, don't touch the sacred Dan book at all." Guo Ling was a little annoyed, he was afraid that Ji Ning was sent by some other doctrine to the Temple of Literature as an "undercover agent" to sabotage it.
Ji Ning said: "In the next life, everything you will learn is admission, how can it be regarded as heresy?" ”
Ji Ning said, his hand was already pressed on the Dan book, just when everyone thought that something bizarre would happen to the Dan book this time, something incomprehensible happened, the Dan book actually didn't react at all, just like the reaction of those people with very weak mental power on the Dan book, the Dan book actually didn't approve of Ji Ning.
"Poof!" Many people who are waiting to see the show or the ceremony will not be able to help laughing out loud.
This is simply the biggest joke, Xie Yuangong, who was admitted by the Temple of Literature and the imperial court, is actually an ordinary person with little mental power, not to mention the oracle bone inscription and the big seal in the future, even the small seal is likely to not be able to write a few, what qualifications does this kind of person have to enter the Temple of Literature?
A yin and yang strange voice came: "Didn't Ji Gongzi say that he was aiming for the Temple of Literature?" What a great irony! ”
"Hahaha......" The people laughing next to him.
The story of "Ji Ning's ambition to refuse the princess's retraction and propose to be in the Temple of Literature" has just been circulated before, and here Ji Ning is shown to be mentally weak in the Dan book, which is as if he is slapping his face in an instant.
Ling was afraid that the Dan book would be damaged by Ji Ning again, this time he personally pressed his hand on it, and after finding that the Dan book was normal, he nodded slightly and announced: "The ceremony of fixing the name of the document is officially over, and the next step is for the new imperial examination people, try to write the small seal silently, and see who can write the largest number of small seals silently." Each person can write the small seal they have learned into an article, or a sentence, a word, and finally write out the scattered words. The small seals written by you will be preserved in the Temple of Literature and admired by future generations! ”
Many of the people present looked very disdainful, and they thought: "What is admired by future generations, and people can write about a hundred small seals, which is amazing, not to mention an article, many times even a complete sentence can not be pieced together." The practical significance of this kind of small seal will not be very great, how can people in later generations be rare with this kind of thick and leafy knowledge? ”
Each candidate is given a pair of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and a small square table is placed in front of him, everyone sits on the ground, and the requirement is that everyone writes out the small seals that they can write silently, and the time is an hour before and after.
The Temple of Literature will not give too long, but also considering that the number of small seals that people will know is not much, and it is futile to give too much time.
Ji Ning, as Xie Yuan, is in the front position, and many people watching the ceremony can see what he wrote.
"Let's write!" Guo Ling said.
All the people picked up the pen, and Ji Ning was no exception, but when Ji Ning picked up the pen to write the small seal, suddenly there were some other strange symbols in his mind, and he knew that these symbols were not some other "heresy", but oracle bones.
