Chapter 18 Pass the Literary Examination
Lanyue Tower is located on the top of the mountain, located in the sea of clouds, looking like a fairy palace in the sky from a distance, incomparable magnificence.
On the square, a hundred primary selected people were waiting here, surrounded by sword-wielding disciples guarding Lanyue Tower, and on the long ladder, two middle-aged men and a white-haired old man stood side by side, looking at the crowd in the square below.
"Back to the landlord, the disciples have selected these hundred people who are qualified to participate in the re-examination after three days of initial selection, may I ask, can the re-examination start?" A handsome young man with an extraordinary bearing saluted and said.
This person was the disciple who had registered for Mu Zifeng yesterday.
Seeing the white-haired old man nodding, the young disciple turned around, looked at the hundred people and said, "Hello everyone, I am Qin Feng, the person in charge of this retest, the senior disciple of Lanyue Tower. ”
After speaking, he began to introduce the middle-aged man on the left, "He is Wang Lin, the left palm banner of our Lanyue Tower." He also introduced the middle-aged man on the right, "This is Han Hong, the right palm flag of our Lanyue Tower." Finally, he introduced the kind white-haired old man in the middle, "He is our Lanyue Building's landlord Gu Qingming." ”
Mu Zifeng stood in the crowd with his arms crossed and listened to the big disciple named Qin Feng introduce the main characters of Lanyue Tower to them, and couldn't help but look at the three people, the man named Wang Lin looked expressionless, and the man named Shi Wentian was full of smiles. These two are really weird.
He looked at the low table in front of him again, and everyone had one in front of them, on which were pens, ink, paper, and inkstones, and it was obvious that he would be preparing for the exam later.
I only heard Qin Feng say again: "Our standard for recruiting disciples in Lanyue Tower is that Wen Taowu must be proficient in both, and Lanyue Lou is extremely strict with each disciple, even if you are an outer disciple, you will be several times stricter than an inner disciple." If there is a lot of abuse, it will inevitably be eliminated in the end, and those who can't endure hardship will also be eliminated. So, if you want to quit, you can leave now. ”
Mu Zifeng turned his head to look at the people around him, only to see that they were boiling in an instant, and among the people, many people hesitated for a moment but shook their heads and withdrew from the retest.
Mu Zifeng roughly counted the number of people and found that there were less than fifty people left.
Isn't it, people just say a few words like this, and you can't stand it and give up?
Mu Zifeng looked at those who quit one by one in disbelief.
"Okay, I announce the rules," Qin Fengdao, "The re-examination is divided into two rounds, one round of literary examination and one round of martial arts examination. There is only one question in the literary examination, that is, poetry, a total of three questions, half a pillar of incense can be answered and answered correctly, if the person who passes the literary examination can enter the second round of the martial arts examination, the martial arts examination is to let everyone fight against an inner disciple, if there is no fall within ten strokes, even if it is successful. In the end, we will select ten outstanding people to become our outer disciples. ”
Qin Feng turned his head to look at Gu Qingming, and when he saw him nodding, he announced, "Then, the literary examination starts now!" ”
As Qin Feng's words fell, a disciple lifted the curtain beside Gu Qingming, which was a large piece of white paper pasted on a wooden board, and on it were the five questions. As soon as the question came out, another disciple lit the incense in the incense burner.
Mu Zifeng sat down cross-legged, he looked up at the question, the first question was "Mei", just two words.
Mu Zifeng looked around, most people scratched their ears and cheeks, not knowing where to start the pen, he thought for a while, and soon thought of it.
I saw him write with a pen: "The wind and rain send spring back, and the snow welcomes spring." It is already a cliff with a hundred feet of ice, and there are still flowers and branches. Pretty doesn't compete for spring, only reports spring. When the mountains were full of flowers, she laughed in the bushes. ”
Mu Zifeng put down his pen and admired the poem written by Grandpa Mao, and praised in his heart: Fortunately, Lao Tzu has a good language, and I still remember many poems, and now it has finally come in handy.
After writing "Mei", he looked at the second question, which was "Horizontally looking at the side of the ridge into a peak".
Isn't this the great poet Su Shi of the Song Dynasty who wrote "Refreshing the Forest Wall"? It not only writes the changing style of Lushan, but also embodies the philosophy of "the parties are confused, and the bystanders are clear" in the specific image.
Thinking of this, Mu Zifeng lightly dipped in ink and wrote: "Looking at the side of the ridge as a peak, the distance and the height are different, I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain." ”
After quickly writing the second question again, Mu Zifeng turned his attention to the third question "Cold Food Festival".
According to historical records, the Cold Food Festival is a traditional festival in ancient times, one or two days before the Qingming Festival. From this day on, the ancients did not live and cook for three days, so it was called the Cold Food Festival. But because the Cold Food Festival is very close to the Qingming Festival, almost everyone regards the Cold Food Festival as the Qingming Festival.
Mu Zifeng thought about it, he couldn't imagine that such a cold topic would come out, isn't it embarrassing?
However, I'm a little genius in language, and this doesn't bother me at all.
He felt a little proud in his heart, and wrote on the paper again: "Spring City is full of flying flowers, and the cold food is the east wind and the willows." Candles were passed in the Han Palace at dusk, and light smoke dispersed into the house of the five marquis. ”
"Who is this person?" Gu Qingming noticed Mu Zifeng.
Because each of the disciples of the literary examination thought for a long time, wrote and tore the paper, and then wrote after thinking repeatedly, only Mu Zifeng only glanced at the question and began to answer it, and after writing, he did not check it and continued to start the next question.
"Back to the landlord, that person's name is Mu Zifeng." Qin Feng replied.
Because Mu Zifeng's light performance yesterday made him a little impressed by him, and he specially saw his name.
"It's useless to answer quickly." Wang Lin said loudly.
Han Hong smiled and said, "But seeing that this son is so concentrated, he should have Chen Zhu in his mind." ”
Not paying attention to the gaze that fell on him, Mu Zifeng looked at the incense and found that it was only one-third of the half pillar of incense.
Mu Zifeng stood up and said to Gu Qingming: "Landlord, I'm done." ”
The people around looked at Mu Zifeng in shock, and immediately whispered.
"So fast? Impossible, right? ”
"It can't be cheating, right? I just answered one question. ”
"This kid won't be so outstanding!"
……
"Quiet!" Qin Feng said solemnly, "Say more and cancel the re-examination qualification!" ”
When everyone heard this, they immediately closed their mouths, buried their heads and continued to answer the questions.
Qin Feng flew down the ladder with light skills, came to Mu Zifeng, glanced at his answer sheet, and then picked it up and flew up the ladder and handed it to Gu Qingming.
Gu Qingming looked at this upright calligraphy and this meticulous answer, and was a little impressed by Mu Zifeng.
He didn't expect Mu Zifeng to have such literary brilliance at such a young age. Gu Qingming put down the answer sheet and nodded to Qin Feng.
Qin Feng immediately comprehended it and announced to everyone: "Mu Zifeng took the lead in completing the literary examination, and after the approval of the landlord, Mu Zifeng passed the literary examination!" ”
