"119657 passed the literary examination and entered the next round, please go to the test area!"

Lu Yu was waiting for the results of the literary examination, and a deep voice sounded in his ears, and he hurriedly put away the food box and the four treasures of the study, grabbed the wooden card with the number 119657, and immediately felt light, and when he understood what had happened, he had already seen countless candidates around him.

Lu Yu's appearance did not arouse the concern of other candidates, there were too many candidates around, some people were silently lining up to move forward, and some people were chatting excitedly in groups to celebrate their successful passage of the literary examination.

"All the candidates who passed the literary examination lined up and walked forward in turn,"

In front of Lu Yu, there were ten streams of people who couldn't see the end at a glance, even with Lu Yu's current eyesight, he couldn't see how many people there were, so he could only find a random team and follow the footsteps of the candidates in front of him, moving forward step by step.

"This essay exam is a bit of a bully?"

The candidates in front of Lu Yu complained: "Who can know that there are ten arithmetic questions in this literary exam, and at most in the past, there were only four or five questions. ”

"Is it because there is a shortage of people in the household department, so there are so many arithmetic problems?"

"There is such a possibility, I heard before that the imperial court opened a mutual market in the north and did business with Beidi, will it be because of this matter!"

"Actually, it's not bad to enter the household department, it's much better than the Qingshui Yamen of the Ministry of Rites."

"Does it make sense for you to discuss this now? You can guarantee that you will definitely be able to enter the second class, and then talk about these things! ”

"Haha, that's what I said, anyway, we all passed the literary exam, and the literary exam is not higher than anyone's score, the key is the next test and test, but I heard that the rules have changed this time, who of you knows what the change is?"

"Guess what, if you change again, you can change there, and if you don't test your qualifications, spiritual roots, and cultivation, will you test your combat skills?"

Lu Yu pricked up his ears and listened carefully, without interjecting or asking questions, looking at his nose and nose, and quietly being a well-educated listener.

The speed of the team is very slow, a stick of incense time can only advance more than ten meters, many candidates feel a little bored, have taken out the food box to greet the friends they know around, sit directly on the ground and start to eat while waiting, some candidates may be too tired, lie on the ground and take a nap.

"How long does this line usually go?" Lu Yu couldn't help but ask a candidate who seemed to be very well-informed.

"It's hard to say, someone ran to the front to take a look before, there are about 3,000 people in the middle of us, according to the current speed, three or four hours should be about the same!"

It takes seven or eight hours to queue up once, and this feeling makes people a little desperate, and if you know that you should have turned in your papers in advance, you don't have to suffer here. Lu Yu remembered that when the main world orange mobile phone was released, fans lined up in the cold wind a day in advance and waited for the store to open for sale, for which someone specially stood to sell money, every time Lu Yu saw such news, he smiled, feeling that those people were really boring, but now Lu Yu really hopes that someone is willing to sell a seat to himself.

I don't know if it's Lu Yu's illusion, the other candidates in line didn't have the slightest impatience on their faces, and they could feel proud and relaxed when they talked and laughed, "You don't seem to care too much about queuing, why?" ”

"You don't even know about the scientific expeditions over the years, do you?"

Lu Yu was a little embarrassed, he knew that there were really not many things about the scientific expedition, not that he didn't want to understand, but he didn't want to waste time on these side matters.

"I haven't paid attention!"

"Another nerd!"

A candidate on the side joked: "You should be glad that you didn't hand in the paper on the last day, it looks like there are a lot of people in line now, but when the final essay test is over, you will find that there are too few people in line now." ”

"Do you know why the expedition lasts twelve days?"

Lu Yu shook his head and said he didn't know.

"Because at least half of those times will be in line!"

This kind of thing is actually a layer of window paper that will be broken at a point, the number of admissions for each scientific examination is 30,000, and there will be 300,000 candidates left after the literary examination, thinking about the scene of 300,000 candidates queuing up, it is not difficult to know how long the queue will be waiting for the test.

Now it seems that there are more than 3,000 people in front of me, which is really not much, and queuing for seven or eight hours is much better than queuing for six days and six nights.

Once your mindset changes, you won't feel bored doing anything.

Lu Yu simply sat on the ground while closing his eyes and recuperating his mind, while running the spiritual energy in his body to breathe and breathe, or running the "Chaos Demon Body" to make himself not look too boring, which is also what most candidates are doing.

Time passed slowly, and the number of candidates in front of Lu Yu was decreasing, while the queue behind him was getting longer and longer, with each team reaching tens of thousands of candidates.

Finally, the test area appeared in front of Lu Yu, and there were stone tablets about one zhang high and half a zhang wide erected in the test area, the whole stone tablet was dark like a bottomless black hole, with purple and golden mist flowing on it, and some test candidates stepped forward to press their palms on the stone tablet, and the teaching next to them announced loudly the numbers condensed by the purple mist on the stone tablet, so that other candidates could hear it clearly.

"Two hundred and nineteen forty-one, the seventh layer of qi refining!"

"Next!"

"No. 3782267, the eighth layer of qi refining, the second stage of body refining!"

"Which family's son is this, there should be no problem in entering the top two!" When he heard that some candidates had a very high cultivation, the surrounding candidates couldn't help but whisper.

"It's not just the second class, it's the first class!"

"Ninety-seven-four-five-three-three-four, the Great Perfection of Qi Refining!"

"Damn, this man is an absolute genius! If you refine your Qi before the age of twenty-five, you definitely have a chance to enter the top ten! ”

The eyes of the surrounding candidates all showed envy, jealousy, and hatred, why wasn't their cultivation a Great Perfection?

There is only day and no night in the independent space of the scientific examination, although this brings discomfort to many people, but none of the candidates complains that even the physique of ordinary monks is different from that of mortals, ordinary people can go without sleeping for two or three days, and monks are absolutely fine if they do not sleep for seven or eight days.

When it was Lu Yu's turn, the teacher asked Lu Yu to swear again, and the content of the oath was the same as when he entered, proving that he was himself, and he was no more than twenty-five years old.

After Lu Yu made an oath, the instructor next to him pointed to the yellow and golden stone tablets and said: "The purple qi on the stone tablet tests the refining qi, and the golden qi tests the refining body, just put the palm of your hand on the stone tablet, let's start!" ”

Lu Yu nodded to indicate that he heard clearly, walked to the stele, pressed his palm on the stele, the surface of the stele was smooth as a mirror, but it felt like a viscous liquid, the palm was placed on the stele, and the entire palm was immediately wrapped by the unknown black on the stele, and a warm breath drilled into Lu Yu's body along the palm, Lu Yu wanted to struggle, and the teacher who was monitoring next to him immediately opened his mouth to stop: "Don't resist, relax your body, otherwise all the mistakes caused by the candidates will be borne by themselves!" ”

Lu Yu's body didn't dare to resist in the slightest, and let that breath swim in his body, and after more than a dozen breaths, on the left and right sides of the stone tablet, there were 'three' characters formed by purple gas and golden gas.

"No. 119657, the third layer of qi refining and the third layer of body refining!"

Although he already knew his cultivation, when he reported his cultivation, Lu Yu was still relieved, and his scientific examination was 100% stable in entering the top three.

Next is the qualification, spiritual root and special physique test, when Lu Yu walked to the side, he heard the teacher whispering and discussing, "It turned out to be a martial arts double cultivation, not bad, not bad!" ”

"Ten drops of blood in the jade plate!"

A teacher pointed to a dagger next to the jade plate and said: "Qualification, spiritual root and special physique test, the test results will be collected in person at the Ministry of Rites after the scientific expedition is over, and then walk forward for ten miles, there is a mountain there, you can climb as high as you can, and the final height you climb will become the final result of your cultivation test this time, I understand." ”

"Climb the mountain!"
