Chapter 8 The palace test questions hide mysteries
After the incident of the North Wind Spirit Leopard was over, Lin Yan returned to the spirit position, this time the "adventure" was the same as the Dream Eater Tapir, and there were two more items in the backpack of the family cultivation system.
[Alien Beast Record: It records the alien beasts that have survived to this day in the ancient period of the wilderness, and after the collection of the illustrated book reaches a certain progress, you will get hidden items. 】
[Construction drawings: Grain, the core building that can store grain and master high yields, can be inherited through the Dream Charm Talisman. 】
He clicked on the illustrated book called "Alien Beast Record", and he could clearly see the introduction of the North Wind Spirit Leopard:
"The mythical beast of the North Wind Ridge, according to legend, when he was discovered, the grain within a radius of 100 miles in this place will be abundant and become rich, which is a symbol of auspiciousness."
[Beast Record Collection Progress: 5%, and the progress of the next reward is: 10%. 】
Lin Yan studied the entire illustrated book inside and out, and found that the time in the outside world had passed in a hurry, and the "abundant harvest" mentioned in the strange beast record was specially kept in his heart.
In a blink of an eye, it was March 15, and Lin Wen really lived up to expectations, and today was the last stop for him to participate in the imperial examination - the palace examination of the Hanlin Academy.
Whether they can stand out will determine the fate of these candidates who have studied hard for decades and will live for a lifetime.
Lin Wen is the youngest group of these people, but most of the candidates who participated in the palace examination at this age are arrogant, and it is really rare to have a character like Lin Wen who is not arrogant or impatient.
"Brother Zhang has been gone for a few months, today is already the day of my palace test, could it be that the sect is in an emergency, and he has already returned to Wudang first......"
Just a month ago, Lin Wenzhong was given a good evaluation for his article, and the examiner appreciated his character.
He couldn't wait to share this joy with others, wrote the matter into a letter, sent it back to the Lin family in North Wind City, and took the incense ashes on the spot, bowed three times and knocked nine times, and paid tribute to his grandfather Lin Yan.
But since the ninth day of February, he has been waiting for Zhang Qingsong to meet him again every day, but he has not seen him for a long time.
This inevitably made him a little disappointed.
Lin Yan also saw it, but this was not a figure of his own family, and he couldn't do anything.
However, he was able to click on Zhang Qingsong's personal panel and see his area: "The southern suburbs of Beijing." ”
Lin Yan couldn't pass this information on to his grandson, but it had been a month, what had been going on for so long.
"Today, I have to meet the Emperor Xuanwei Sheng, don't be sad, Brother Zhang Jiren has his own natural appearance, and when I am a high school jinshi, I will write a letter and send it to Wudang...... Or I called Shangwu'er and went to Wudang to pay homage to Zhang Zhenren in person. ”
Lin Wen made up his mind and sat upright. All the candidates in the entire hall of the Hanlin Academy, no matter how arrogant or arrogant they were, were all in awe and uneasy at the moment.
"The emperor has arrived!"
The eunuch's feminine shout sounded, and the entire hall of the Hanlin Academy was silent and solemn, and all the candidates only felt that there was an invisible big stone on their chests, which made people breathless.
The golden dragon robe beside Emperor Xuanxu, and the examiners all bowed slightly, following behind, the emperor's coercion made Lin Yan in the spiritual position feel palpitations.
"It is rumored that after the cultivation reaches a certain level, it will exude an invisible coercion. The name of this Xuanwei Wuhuang is really worthy of its name, what kind of existence is the real person of Wudang, the abbot of Shaolin, and the master of Emei......"
Through the perspective of his grandson, Lin Yan faced this huge world and felt for the first time that he was once so small.
In fact, I have only been in the past 60 years, down-to-earth, and have never done anything earth-shattering. At this moment, he made up his mind to use this system to help his children and grandchildren stand on the top of this continent.
In the blink of an eye, the opening of the streamlined palace test had been completed, and Lin Wen finally gradually adapted to the environment here, wiped the sweat from his palms, and held the brush.
"In the first year of Xuanwei, 'congratulating' the world is peaceful, 'eulogizing' the achievements of Emperor Wu, 'Dao' is the right road is bright, and 'thinking': untitled."
There are four exam questions circled in this year's palace exam, and there is no limit to the length of the essay, but Lin Wen was quite touched when he saw the word "thought" in it, as if there was something about to jump out of his pen.
It only took a moment, when others were hesitating, Lin Wen had already analyzed the first three exam questions vividly.
He has read thousands of books since he was a child, and his talent may not be as good as the vast majority of the pride of heaven here, but in terms of effort, he is definitely several times that of others.
The first three exam questions are all the eternal truths circulated in articles such as "Remembrance", "Renzhi" and "Taking Righteousness", Lin Wen did not dare to compare with the imposing poetry and history of the text, but he also wrote impassionedly and handy.
Just answered three questions in a row, and the deep and powerful "courtyard" line by line came into view, and Lin Wen still kept repeating the name of the fourth exam question in his mind: thinking.
He thought that the writing should be done in one go and not intermittently, but this untitled word made him have no idea where to start.
The hundreds of people present all sat in silence, feeling deeply bad in their hearts, and their self-confidence was lost at this moment.
"The word 'thinking' is the 'thinking' that the Holy God admires, calm down and consider." Many people have the same answer in their minds.
Some people feel that the word 'Si' is lovesickness, so they spare no effort to write about their family's lovesickness, or sad nostalgia......
At this time, everyone gradually completed the answer sheet, and after several hours, Lin Wen did not move a word.
Seeing that there was only half a pillar of incense left in the time to hand in the papers, Lin Yan in the spiritual position secretly sweated: "This kid, what do you want...... It's time to answer the questions. ”
In fact, Lin Wen didn't know that Lin Wen was silently reciting the Sutra of Salvation that his grandfather taught him.
Isn't the reincarnation of cause and effect between heaven and earth, life and death, just emotional 'thinking'?
But this single word must not be misinterpreted.
"The exam time is over, please stop writing and close the papers!"
The loud shouts of the eunuchs of the Hanlin Academy sounded again, and all the candidates still looked different, honestly putting down the brush in their hands.
The exam papers in front of them were all full of answers, only Lin Wen's answer sheet was left with obvious blanks.
The examiner collected the papers all the way and walked all the way to Lin Wen's face: "This Wenju exam is to test calligraphy first, and then read the article, why didn't you even fill in the answer sheet......"
Lin Wen showed a clean smile: "Xiaosheng is not talented, Examiner Xie is worried, but the question has not been answered, and the exam paper is naturally blank." ”
Seeing Lin Wen's smile, the examiner felt that this kid was stupid, shook his head helplessly, and sighed.
The palace examination is to take the test on the spot, mark the paper on the spot, and the examiner takes turns to read it, each marked with three different marks of "√", "○" and "×", among which ten "√" answer sheets are good papers, and they are handed over to the emperor for personal review.
Soon, these ten answer sheets were also evaluated, and the civil official who was responsible for presenting them to the emperor couldn't help but be surprised: "It's strange, why doesn't there be a fourth question in this answer sheet?" ”
