Twenty-nine, literary examination
The examination of the Nine Star Academy is divided into a literary test and a martial arts test. To put it bluntly, it depends on whether you can read or write, if you are just a stupid big black who only knows how to practice, and if you don't know a single big word, even if you are given a peerless secret book by the academy, you will be in vain. Of course, the primary selection of the literary examination commissioned by the Nine Star Academy to be held by the Seven Nations must not be just a simple matter of whether you can read or write.
Every five years, the questions will be solved by the Wenzong Pavilion of the Nine Star Academy, and then delivered to the capitals of various countries by specially trained carrier pigeons. And they all arrive at the same time the day before the literary examination, and dismantle on the day of the literary examination. No one here can know the questions of the essay exam, and there is no way to talk about cheating. But after all, it is only a preliminary test, and the purpose is to select from many candidates who can not only read and hyphenate words, but also have good word meaning comprehension skills.
Therefore, the test questions are generally based on the theme of poetry. Because those who can make poems must have a relatively high level of understanding of the use of the meaning of words. Those who can make good poems and wonderful words show that the understanding of the meaning of the scriptures and the use of words have reached a very high level. A person who reads poetry and books is more important in terms of quality and moral character than in cultivation.
For example, Jin Yong's grandfather's novel wrote, the good "Nine Yin True Scripture", which was drummed by Mei Chaofeng for so long, just made a nondescript "Nine Yin White Bone Claw", which is the negative embodiment of the ability to understand the meaning of words and the level of character.
Those who have evil hearts, although the exercises are good and evil. Those with a righteous heart will practice evil and good.
Studying poetry is a more realistic way to study the ability to understand and the mind. A person with an open heart will never make poems that will never be foolish. On the contrary, a narrow-minded person will never be able to make a good sentence with a majestic atmosphere. This method is not absolute, but it also eliminates the vast majority.
Yang Ze and his entourage came to the examination institute early in the morning. Looking at Murong Xiaoxiao's smiling expression, Yang Ze remembered the moment this woman came up on his waist yesterday.
Yang Ze couldn't help but ask himself, "Is my brother's charm really so great?" After thinking about it for a long time, I found that I really couldn't find any shortcomings. Haha......"
If Murong Xiaoxiao knew Yang Ze's inner thoughts at this time, he would definitely vomit three liters of blood, he had never seen such a brazen person.
The entire examination institute square was crowded, and there were at least four or five thousand young talents from all over the country. Among these four or five thousand people, at least ninety percent of today's literary examination will be eliminated, leaving only the last four hundred people to participate in the next martial arts test, and then the last hundred will go to the Nine Star Academy to take the entrance examination.
Four or five thousand people were left with only one hundred. Xiao Tian and Yang Ze looked at each other, and they both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes. No matter how Yang Ze thinks about it, this is even more cheating than when he took the college entrance examination back then. Alas, hundreds of ships are competing for the current......
As soon as the bell rang, everyone entered the examination hall one after another. Yang Ze and Xiaotian can only resign themselves to fate, after all, one is a scumbag, the other is a down-and-out scholar in the countryside, and their education level is really at the bottom of this group of people.
As the flow of people enters the examination hall, one person is assigned a small wooden sign with the corresponding number on it at the door, and the corresponding cubicle is found according to the number. As soon as he stepped into the examination institute, the feeling that this examination institute gave Yang Ze was one word, that is, "big", except for the small cubicles in the examination institute, there was no half of the flowers and plants planted. Four high platforms were erected in four directions, southeast, northwest and northwest to monitor the candidates' every move.
A big bell was erected in the middle of the examination institute, and the hammer was hung high, and the tail end was wound with silk, and a thick incense stick was tied to the silk, which was used for timekeeping. When the time comes, the silk is burned by the incense, and the hammer falls, and the bell rings to indicate the end of the literary examination. Looking at the size of this incense stick, the time is at most half an hour.
About an hour later, everyone had already found their seats, and Yang Ze had already sat down and waited. The compartment is not large, only three pieces of white paper, one ink and one inkstone. In less than a quarter of an hour, the gong sounded, and the door of the examination hall fell, announcing the start of the literary examination. The chief examiner on the stage is the current lord of the Qin State, which shows how much importance the countries attach to the examination of this Nine Star Academy.
"The five-year Nine Star College Literary Examination is now open, and there are two questions. Candidates are requested to listen to the memorization for half an hour. "The voice of the Lord of the Qin Kingdom shook the audience, and it is conceivable that his imperial qi cultivation must not be low.
"Question 1, compose a poem, the topic is not limited. Question 2, there are 23 chickens and rabbits in the same cage, 66 feet, how many chickens and rabbits are there?
When Yang Ze heard these two questions, he almost didn't jump up. This exam question is simply tailor-made for him, not to mention that there is no limit to the topic of this poem, Yang Ze was still worried that the few poems in his stomach would not be the topic, but now he can put his heart in his stomach.
For this second question alone, I have done it more than a dozen times just to watch my daughter do the practice problem on Earth. The next thing is very simple, a deleted version of the chivalrous line, which will definitely kill the audience in seconds.
Zhao Keman Hu Ying, Wu Hook Shuang Xueming. The silver saddle shines on the white horse, like a shooting star. Kill one person in ten steps, and don't stay for a thousand miles. Brushing off the clothes and going away, hiding deep with the name. Idle over the letter tomb drink, take off the sword and kneel forward. will scorch Zhu Hai and persuade Hou Huan. Three cups of Turannuo, Wuyue is light. After the eyes are dazzled and the ears are hot, the spirit is born. The bones of the arson are fragrant, and he is not ashamed of the world. Who can write Your Excellency, the white head is too mystical.
Ha ha...... The more he wrote, the happier he became, and Yang Ze laughed out loud inadvertently. At this moment, he was indeed just seen by the lord on the stage.
The second question, in fact, is the key one, and whether the mind is alive or not is withdrawn from this question. Yang Ze has reason to believe that this second question alone can eliminate more than half of the people. Let each man sweep the snow in front of his own door, and let others have frost on the tiles. Yang Ze put down his pen like flying, and answered the second question: "The chicken lifts one foot, and the rabbit lifts two feet." Rabbit Ten, Chicken Thirteen. ”
At this time, only a moment later, Yang Ze looked at the candidates on the opposite side lying on the table with sad faces, thinking hard, and couldn't help but start to worry about Xiaotian.
Is Xiaotian literate? There is no doubt that no matter how fallen the family is, it also has a foundation, and Xiaotian's ancestors were the children of the family, how can they not be literate. Can you make poetry? Not necessarily, after all, it is not a poetry heirloom that has declined from generation to generation, and it is good to be able to read and write.
After Xiaotian recorded the question, he knew that he was going to finish. He can't write poetry, and it's almost the same as death. When he was scratching his ears and cheeks at the end of his life, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and wrote with a pen. "The country is general, and the wells are black holes. The black dog is white, and the white dog is swollen. "Plagiarism in an instant! Brother, I'm sorry, the rivers and lakes are in emergency, who told me to only hear this one. You must not answer this one in the same way! Xiao Tian prayed in his heart.
As for this second question, Xiao Tian really can't help it, time is passing minute by minute, and it's basically almost there. In his mind now, all but chicken legs are rabbit legs, and the chaotic legs are flying everywhere. Boom...... The time has come, and the chicken and rabbit legs in Xiaotian's mind have been knocked out by this bell! No matter what, I saw him pick up the brush, shabu on the paper, and throw the pen to finish writing at the moment when the examiner finally closed the paper, and walked out of the examination room without looking back......
The mood of the exam is nervous, and the mood of waiting for the release of the results is apprehensive. The results were released on the second day of the morning exam, and the entire Xianyang City seemed to be infected by this oppressive atmosphere, and even the Qinglou Tavern was not as lively as usual.
At this time, Yang Ze and Xiao Tian were squatting on the eaves of the inn in a daze, wanting to ask each other what answer they would fill in, but they couldn't say it because of unknown emotions......
