Chapter 65 Literary Examination
In today's literary examination, Guozijian has set up more than 1,000 desks outside the mountain gate.
Tutors, deacons and others guarded the mountain gate, shielded the people, and only accepted students.
The students lined up to enter the examination room and sat down one after another under the arrangement of the deacon.
Although they entered the examination room, the students were not nervous, pointing and discussing the mountains.
You must know that this open space on the edge of the mountain gate, facing the fairy mountain, the crane on the top, surrounded by green forests, even if there are more than 1,000 desks and more than 1,000 students, it is still difficult to drive away the elegance and tranquility of the fairy mountain. In short, how can you be nervous when you sit in such a comfortable venue, smelling the birds and listening to the cranes.
Yin Li sat down, laid out the white paper, and played with the pen at his fingertips.
When she came in the morning, Yan Zimei told him that most of the students would be eliminated in the literary examination of Guozijian, so this level does not count as cultivation, only looks at the pen and ink, and is not sloppy at all.
Yan Zimei reminded that there were two exam questions in previous years.
First, from the "Great Wilderness Sutra", "The Governing World Scripture", "Shaohao General History" three volumes of scriptures to choose a piece of silent, this level will not be too difficult, if the silent writing is incomplete, write the words better, maybe be able to add points.
Second, it is a free question and answer question, which is more difficult, and it all depends on the student's personal understanding.
Yin Li believes that the question and answer questions are not just a test of the brain, what is so difficult about it.
As for the three volumes of scriptures, he read them from childhood to adulthood, and it was probably not difficult to write them silently.
After a night of strange dreams, instead of feeling tired, he was full of energy.
At this moment, he sat at the desk full of confidence, and couldn't suppress his excitement.
Although Guozijian was inside the mountain gate, he sensed the breath of the immortals.
At this time, the students had just sat down, the exam questions had not yet been released, and the exam had not yet begun.
Yin Li looked left and right in the center of the examination room, he first looked at Dian Xingyue on the right side, and saw that she was sitting upright, squinting her eyes slightly, like a fairy jade statue, which was very good-looking; and then looked at Yan Xiaoxiao on the left hand side, playing with the brush by herself, at this time she removed the giant hammer, and the person instantly became more petite; and then looked at Song Dazhong in the front seat, her buttocks were itching, and she was secretly tickling.
All in all, the big guys are not nervous, and it seems that they are all winning.
Just as Yin Li was looking at him, he suddenly found a mentor staring at him with squinting eyes.
This tutor was wearing a black robe, with a childish face and crane hair, and two white eyebrows hanging down on his shoulders, obviously a fairy with a fairy wind and bones, but he just made a playful face, and looked at Yin Li directly, as if Yin Li was a delicate beauty.
Yin Li squeezed his brows in confusion, not daring to look at him for long.
But in his heart, he said: "The mentor of the Guozijian is only this virtue, won't he?"
After thinking about it, I felt that this mentor was very familiar, like where had I seen it?
Curious for a moment, he turned his head and asked the student at the back table, "Who is that tutor?"
The student followed his gaze and hurriedly sighed: "You don't want to take the exam, dare to stare at him, he is the second sect of the Xuanshuang Sect, Wu Yi." Now, let me teach you to identify, the one who wears a white Confucian costume is Mr. Mentor, and the one who wears a black Confucian costume is the Pope, and he is not presumptuous in front of the Pope. ”
Yin Li let out a long breath, not daring to look in the direction of Pope Wu Yi anymore.
But he wondered, how could Wu Yi's face be so familiar?
He stared for a moment, and then remembered that when he submitted the prayer post and had a verbal fight with Zhao Xizhi yesterday, these two popes had stood by with a smile and watched. At that time, I had a verbal fight with Zhao Xizhi, all because I was extremely angry, and I didn't care about how many mentors there were next to me;
Just when he was worried, Wu Yi suddenly came to him like a ghost.
Without waiting for Yin Li to react, Wu Yi gently tapped his tabletop.
Then, he coughed dryly: "Cough, don't get distracted, take the test well." ”
Yin Li was frightened, and wanted to get up and salute, but he saw Wu Yi waving his sleeve robe and walking away with his hands behind his back. He had to get up halfway, sat back down, and said in his heart: "What does this old man mean? Oh——, I understand, I know that I know my father very well, otherwise he wouldn't be seen by others, why would he only pay attention to me." ”
......
After a while, a tutor at the gate of the mountain rang the bronze bell: "The exam has begun!"
With the sound of a knock, the handwriting suddenly appeared on the screen wall next to the bronze bell.
The wall shows eight huge fonts of "Silent Writing of the Great Wilderness Sutra, Hongmeng Chapter".
Seeing the exam questions, the students took up their pens and dipped them in ink, and began to write silently.
The topic of this time is arbitrarily selected from the three scriptures, and the three scriptures add up to at least 80,000 words, and the exam questions are also 1,000 words. Yin Li knew this very well, he believed that he only needed to write a rough idea silently to pass this level, so he kept in mind Aunt Zimei's reminder and wrote beautifully.
He wrote freely, writing the same font that he had copied in his dream last night.
The eight pieces of paper in the dream are definitely a stroke of genius, and the charm is very.
He copied it in his dream for a night, and felt that it was the right time to use it.
The time for silent writing is one stick of incense, and when the incense is burned, the instructor rings the bell to stop.
Yin Li put down the brush, probably missed more than 30 words, and felt quite satisfied.
......
The tutor took away the test papers, and after a while, he rang the bell and shouted: "The second question is open!"
This time, what is displayed on the wall of the white jade screen is "Emperor Shaohao was born in the past life, and the present life collapsed, may I ask how old is it?"
As soon as this question came out, all the students in the audience were confused and didn't know how to answer?
Some folded their fingers and counted, while others gnawed on the brush in their hands and meditated.
Yin Li was not panicked here, his face was very confident, and he said in his heart: "Aren't you just singing praises for virtue, stupid and lacking questions." ”
So he picked up the pen, and the dragon flew and the phoenix danced to write down the eight big characters full of charm of "longevity without borders, eternal and immortal".
After writing, I put down the pen, picked up the test paper, got up and left the desk, walked to the tutor's desk to hand in the paper, and then left the venue without looking back.
All the students watched him go, and they all whispered in surprise, they didn't understand that the question had just come out, how could he calculate it so quickly? Qi Wanrou showed a surprised gaze for the first time, she sat on the desk, her left hand secretly pinched the test paper, and the brush in her right hand kept shaking, she was unwilling to lose to Yin Li. Wei Shixiao and Zhao Xizhi only glanced at Yin Li, and they didn't want to look at him at all.
Yin Li walked out of the examination room and lay on a stone at the foot of the mountain with his eyes closed.
It is backed by a mountain peak and is more than 10 meters away from the street, making it extremely quiet.
I don't know when Dian Xingyue and the others will come out, he has to wait.
Lying on the stone and about to take a nap, he suddenly saw Yan Xiaoxiao jump out.
sighed at the moment, sat up and asked, "You are so fast, have you handed in the white papers?"
Yan Xiaoxiao jumped on the boulder, sat next to him, put the index fingers of both hands on his chest and touched it, and whispered: "I didn't hand in the white papers, I didn't calculate it badly, and then I remembered that day I listened to the story told by the old man with you under the river bridge, and I was curious, the story said that the Emperor of Heaven lived for a long time in our life, and finally died, so according to this story, the age of the Emperor of Heaven cannot be calculated." So, I asked rhetorically, 'Is the Emperor really an immortal dead?', I don't know if I can pass? It doesn't matter if I can't, anyway, I'm only fourteen years old this year, and I'll come back to take the exam in three years. ”
Yin Li smiled: "You fool, that old man is talking about mythological romance, and it can't be accurate." But your rhetorical question is also a good question, although it is not a sycophant, but it is also a bit sentimental The charm of the passing of the Emperor of Heaven, if I am a mentor, I will let you pass the test as soon as possible. In fact, there is no answer to this exam question at all, the ghost knows how old the Emperor of Heaven lived, and none of those who pinched his fingers could pass the test. ”
Yan Xiaoxiao clapped her palms and said happily: "Really, can I really live?"
Yin Li nodded: "You have an answer, I think you should be able to pass." ”
Yan Xiaoxiao was happy for a while, raised her head to look at Yin Li, opened her eyes and asked, "Then what did you write?"
Yin Li smiled: "What I wrote is 'Eternal longevity, eternal immortality', which is eight words like you." ”
While the two were talking, people came out of the examination room one after another, and most of these people were confident and had smiles on their faces. After a while, Dian Xingyue and Song Dazhong also came out one after another, and when everyone gathered together, Yin Li asked: "Sister Xingyue, Old Song, you won't pinch your fingers, tell me, what answer did you write?"
Song Dazhong said: "The Emperor of Heaven lives two lives, how can he accurately calculate the longevity, so what I wrote is 'the second longevity'." ”
Dian Xingyue frowned, and sighed softly: "Hey, Brother Song's answer is accurate, but I don't know if my answer can pass, in fact, I think the same, the Emperor of Heaven's longevity can't be calculated at all, if the exam question only needs a general answer, why do you need this question." So, I just put pen to paper and thought, in the past 10 million years, which day have we not read the "Great Wilderness Sutra", which day have not learned the exercises, these are the treasures left to us by the Emperor of Heaven, so that we can see him in the books, and when we learn the exercises, we think of him, maybe 'the Emperor of Heaven has no life, and will always live in the hearts of the people', so I wrote these eight words. ”
Yin Li hugged his chest with his left hand, and the fingers of his right hand flicked his mouth, staring at Dian Xingyue with bad intentions.
Then he smiled evilly: "Okay, don't frown, aren't you slapping loudly enough." ”
Dian Xingyue's face was slightly gloomy, and she said angrily: "How can I make a sycophant, what I write is true." ”
Yin Li laughed and waved his hand: "Let's go, go to the restaurant to celebrate." ”
After shouting, beckoned Yan Xiaoxiao to his side, put on her petite shoulders, and walked away.
Dian Xingyue and Song Dazhong caught up with him and asked in unison, "Then what did you write?"
Yin Li smiled awkwardly and said to Yan Xiaoxiao: "Let's keep it secret and don't tell them." ”
