Chapter 206: The Ring
Nothing happens when it happens.
The night was too quiet, but Duan Lizheng was a little at a loss.
Did Zhu Luan not move, or did she completely erase the sound this time?
Just when Duan Lizheng hesitated to turn over the number house to take a look, he suddenly looked up.
A black statue suddenly appeared in front of his barn at some point.
The young man's eyes widened instantly, and after being startled, he sent down the black-armored guard who had several faces.
It's called...... Captain Wood.
He took a deep breath, this person's realm should be lower than his own.
But Duan Lizheng didn't notice the aura of the black armor guard at all.
What a terrible Black Death.
And the moving statue only stopped in front of his hut, perhaps without stopping, and then left.
Silently.
The level of this hidden aura is almost like hers......
Duan Lizheng was stunned, but his heart, which was originally hanging in the air, suddenly calmed down.
The black armor guard didn't do anything, he came and went, and he didn't leave a word, but Duan Lizheng understood in an instant.
This man is here to stop him.
It's her.
A silent message came.
Duan Lizheng exhaled, adjusted his posture, and suppressed his thoughts of acting rashly, a little happy.
Just as happy as I was when I saw the girl sitting on the roof with her knees crossed three days ago.
But when the excitement passed, more fog came over me.
Duan Lizheng closed his eyes.
The entire examination hall was extremely quiet, and only through the already thinner True Yuan barrier, the sound of snoring could be faintly heard.
And the number building in the corner seemed to be hidden in the depths of the night, and there was no news.
When it moves, it is like a fire, but when the girl wants to hide, the whole world cannot find her existence.
But this silence made Duan Lizheng a little uneasy, like the calm before a storm.
Why didn't she track down the math papers anymore?
Is it to give up?
Or did she understand something he didn't know?
Duan Lizheng was puzzled, but just as the wheel of history could not be stopped, this test shrouded in a strange atmosphere could not be stopped.
In the daze of the young man, as the lifters fell down one by one and were carried out of the house one by one, the literary examination of the ninth year of the early year of the Great Zhou Dynasty was finally carried out on the last day.
A birdsong in the early morning woke up Duan Lizheng, who was lying on the desk unconsciously.
The boy opened his eyes sleepily and looked at the rising sun in his hazy vision.
The next moment, the bell that woke up the candidates in the morning rang.
It's already this hour.
Yesterday was so tired, Duan Lizheng couldn't remember when he fell asleep, and for the first time in more than ten years, he didn't wake up at the beginning of the hour.
It is enough to see the consumption of these days.
The art subjects taken yesterday and the day before yesterday, that is, the encyclopedic common sense, once again allowed Duan Lizheng to see the breadth of the Shendu Cabinet scholars.
The examination is indeed a painstaking training as the students and elders said.
If the time of the township test has already felt long, the torture of the test is simply endless.
Being able to survive to the end is indeed considered mental toughness.
I don't know what Zhu Ying's situation is now.
Did she go out last night? Duan Lizheng's heart suddenly clenched when he thought of this matter.
But then he sighed again.
Hopefully, no.
He was able to sleep with peace of mind last night because he believed that she would not leave him if something happened.
Duan Lizheng stretched out one hand to cover the light shining on his eyes, and squinted his other eye to look at the few lifters left in the opposite house.
The rest of the lifters were all pale, their eyes were black, and they looked very bad, and many of them had not yet gotten up from the board.
Even the deafening sound of the bell was hard to wake up at this time.
The officials had no choice but to walk over one by one and push these people awake.
The students who struggled to get up with painful expressions all showed joy on their faces the moment they saw the morning light.
Duan Lizheng knew very well why this was the case.
Today, it's finally the last day.
This long rally is finally coming to an end.
And today, they can leave this tiny, painfully small barn.
Because today, it's the last stand.
Six Arts of Art.
When the candidates forced themselves to swallow the dry food with cold water, the officials walked in front of the number house and handed out paper slips with the names of the lifters and the six arts categories.
Unlike the township examination, the six arts of the examination are carried out for a whole day.
And the reason why it takes so long is because there are no six platforms for the six arts that will be tested.
There are only two.
Of course, this is not because Tiance Academy can't afford to set up a platform.
It's because of the new rules that will be tried.
This stage is not classified by the type of six arts, but two people who choose the same type of six arts come to the stage at the same time.
What does this mean?
The candidates sitting in the number room looked at the paper sticks in front of them, and there was a hint of ruthlessness in their eyes.
Imply.
Fight in the ring.
The test is not a real battlefield.
It's not a battlefield, but it's like a battlefield.
Zhu Luan sat quietly in the number room, staring at the paper mark with his name written on it and neatly arranged in six big characters: ceremony, music, dance, painting, calligraphy, and chess.
A paper stick is the same paper stick, and the comparison is not the same as the comparison.
is worthy of being a woman I have admired since childhood.
It's ruthless.
In the process of reforming the examination, although the queen of heaven created a new six arts and reformed a lot of processes, she only preserved a certain nonsense rule left by the iron-blooded Emperor Taizu in the six arts competition.
That's the ring.
When this rule was first proposed, even if the power was in the hands of Emperor Taizu, he was still scolded by the ministers.
Back then, the six arts were still the ordinary six arts, but it still did not prevent Emperor Taizu from carrying a lifetime of infamy.
Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, elegant things!
Just take it for the exam, it's still like a trick in the rivers and lakes, letting the lifters fight in the ring.
What a system!
Sure enough, the founding emperor is the founding emperor, and he is a coarse man who only knows how to fight!
When the Queen of Heaven reformed the national test, many courtiers who regarded Emperor Taizu's words as a golden rule counted on her to change only this one.
But no one thought that the woman changed this and that, but this article, which was scolded by countless literati, just didn't change.
Is this teasing us literati?
Zhu Luan still remembers the wonderful facial expressions of the officials below when he announced this matter in the court.
"I hope that our big Zhou can always maintain the vitality of youth, always retain the heart of crisis, and always maintain the will to compete."
But the queen of heaven on the throne seemed to be invisible, and said so in a serious and righteous manner.
It's a pity that those Confucian students below probably can't understand what she said about the vitality of youth.
Zhu Luan's eyes were sympathetic.
watched the civil official beat his chest and shouted insulting Sven.
Is there a diva who still wants Sven? Inexistent.
The Ring Match......
There was a smile on the corner of Zhu Luan's mouth.
That person is really a master who doesn't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement.
Someone thinks unconsciously.
What should I choose this time......
Just as Zhu Luan was thinking about it seriously, there was a sudden sound of eunuchs in the distance.
"The queen has arrived!"
