The people of Tianshui Palace arrived in the capital three days later, and their selection of disciples this time was not made public, so not many people knew about it. It's just that Li Yun, as the emperor, is in the capital, so it's strange that he doesn't know, just because he can use his identity to arrange for the three brothers and sisters of the Lin family to enter the final election one round in advance.

After a few days of selection, only eight people were left in the end, and seeing the other five people selected, Lin Moran suddenly felt that his brothers and sisters might not have much chance to be selected, because those five people looked really good.

This time, the elder in charge of the selection, Lu Zhuji, stood in front of everyone, and when he saw the five people in front of him, he had a satisfied expression on his face, but when he saw the Lin family brothers and sisters, there was some disdain in his eyes. Lin Mo ran his eyes sharp, he saw them all in his eyes, and sighed in his heart, it seems that the person who walks through the back door is not good, and he will be looked down upon at any time.

"The results of this selection are already here, in addition to the five of you who are really swords and guns, there are three other people who are special talents of the Great Zhou Kingdom, and they are extremely talented, so they are also on the scene today. But my Tianshui Palace has strict rules, and only five people can be selected to enter, so you have to play an extra game and eliminate three people, and now the competition starts, you are exactly eight people, so you will be divided into four groups, and you will face off in twos and twos! Lu Zhuji said.

"What? Still have a competition? Big brother, do you know martial arts? Lin Moran asked in surprise.

Lin Monong shook his head cutely and said, "No one told me that I still have to compete?" Isn't it just a matter of going straight to it? ”

Lin Moran was almost angry with him, so he had to say: "Then you don't have to choose, let's face off, no matter what the result is, at least one of the two of us can guarantee to be selected." ”

At this time, a disciple of Tianshui Palace listened to their conversation and couldn't help laughing, and said with a sarcastic smile: "You two don't laugh and be generous, okay?" Elder Lu said that he was going to compete, but he didn't say that he wanted to compete. Just your three-legged cat kung fu, can it be called martial arts? My disciples of Tianshui Palace, in addition to martial arts, also have to learn medicine, literature, painting, music, business, astrology, divination, etc., everything in the world, we can learn everything. Even if a person has no talent for martial arts, if he has talent in other aspects, we will not turn him away. Of course, the martial arts of our Tianshui Palace are also the top in the rivers and lakes, and we are confident that we will not lose to any sect! ”

It wasn't until the disciple finished speaking that Lu Zhuji said loudly: "Enough, don't talk in front of outsiders, although my Tianshui Palace is at the top of the rivers and lakes, I still have to be low-key, and I can't bring trouble to Tianshui Palace!" ”

"Yes, disciple remember!"

Lin Moran was speechless, is this still called low-key? Not modest at all!

"Okay, okay, then you explain it clearly, how do you want to compete? My eldest brother and I don't have any martial arts skills. My eldest brother, he reads a little more, and there is no problem at all if you want to test his literature. But what do I do? Big brother, is it too late for me to learn from you now? Lin Moran asked innocently.

"I guess it's too late." Lin Monong said truthfully.

Seeing the excitement of what the two of them said, Lu Zhuji really couldn't stand it, so he interrupted them and said: "Okay, since you don't know martial arts, then I will test you, if you are qualified, I can accept you as an exception!" ”

"What are you going to take?"

"Isn't Lin Monong good at literature? Then take the literature test, as for you, take the test by the way, you can answer whatever you can, and I have my own judgment. Lu Zhuji said.

"That's not good, you can't make the decision alone, otherwise if you say good, it's good, and if you don't say good, it's not good, isn't it you who have the final say? The three of us didn't participate in the previous selection, so we are not familiar with you, and you can have a good impression of them, so you favor them and be biased against the three of us who go through the back door! Lin Moran retorted.

"And what do you say you want to do?" Lu Zhuji asked.

Lin Moran smiled slightly, and said: "It's very simple, pick a few literary masters in the capital to be referees, what kind of medical skills do you test, music and rhythm, just pick someone who is good at this way to be the referee, as long as they say that our brother and sister skills are not as good as others, then we will admit defeat and have no complaints." ”

"You little girl seems to be arrogant and unreasonable, but what you say makes some sense, so follow what you say. Your Majesty, how long will it take for you to find someone from this area? Lu Zhuji asked.

"If you only look for people in the capital, half an hour."

"Well, the competition will start in half an hour. Brothers and sisters of the Lin family, you can take advantage of this time to prepare well, lest you lose too badly and lose the face of the Great Zhou Kingdom! Lu Zhuji said.

"Don't bother you, losing face is not losing the face of your Tianshui Palace, why are you in a hurry?"

Lin Moran accidentally made a disrespectful speech, Lin Moqian quickly grabbed her, and said in a low voice: "You speak carefully, in case we are selected for Tianshui Palace, and in the future, we will not look up and see this Elder Lu in the future, if he wears small shoes for us and deliberately embarrasses us, wouldn't it be worth the loss?" We don't know any of us, we can't find a backer, and we don't let him be bullied? ”

Lin Moran thought of this stubble at this time, and was about to open her mouth to apologize to Lu Zhuji, but Lin Monong stopped her and said, "You tell me first, what will you do, otherwise you won't know anything later, and we won't be able to help you." ”

Lin Moran lowered his head and pondered for a while, the original body almost never went to school, and there were not many people who knew it, if according to the original body's academic qualifications, then it was impossible for Lin Moran to be selected into Tianshui Palace this time. But Lin Moran's own education is higher than the original, but he can't say it, what should I do?

Lin Monong thought that Lin Moran didn't know anything, so he asked tentatively: "You studied with me for a few days when you were a child, but you were still young at that time, and you couldn't sit on a stool, let alone listen to Mr.'s lectures." But you should always have some basics, right? You should be familiar with all the four books and five classics, right? Poetry and songs, which you used to like, should also be a little 、、、"

Lin Moran was still a little depressed, but when it came to poetry and songs, he had taken the college entrance examination before, and the ancient poems and classical Chinese that he had memorized, how tall was that person! If you want to talk about this, she's not afraid!

Soon, everyone who is good at medicine, literature, and music in Beijing was invited to the palace, and Lu Zhuji talked with them for a few words, and felt that their talents were enough to be referees, so he nodded in approval and said: "Okay, the person you are looking for has arrived, and now the competition can start, right?" ”

"Okay, how do you say the test?".

"Then start with literature, and compose a poem within one stick of incense, with the title of 、、、 and the word Tianshui, one for each of the eight of you, no need to be grouped." Lu Zhuji said.
