Chapter 34 (Text) The Secret Land of Life and Death (6)
Shao Yugong looked at Wei Wudi, who was coming slowly, and said, "Since Lord Xisheng is here, then you should pass the sound with a snap of your fingers." ”
"No need. If you should know, you will know, and if you don't know, you won't know. ”
A different color flashed in the eyes of the three half-saint examiners, and they were faintly shocked, but they didn't say anything, and continued to look at the nine book mountain phantoms.
Under the attention of everyone, Xiao Yuan slowly stepped onto the third pavilion.
Dictation.
Xiao Yuan looked at the two simple words on the plaque, and was guessing how to take the test, when insects and birds suddenly sounded in his ears, with ups and downs, quite pleasant.
An old gentleman with white hair and fluttering clothes appeared in front of Fang Yun, the old man was thin and tall, his eyes were bright, his two fingers were slender, and his face was like water.
"I said, you write. It ends after two quarters of an hour, with no more than five typos. There are three chances. ”
"Yes, Elder. Xiao Yuan bowed politely.
The sound of insects and birds still not ending.
Xiao Yuan immediately understood that this was to test a person's attention, memory, concentration and discernment, etc., and it was easiest to be disturbed by the outside world when talking on paper or exporting, and any accident could lead to failure and thus be killed.
A pen that had been dipped in thick ink appeared out of thin air in Xiao Yuan's hand, and he quickly hung the pen on the page, took a deep breath, and was ready to write at any time.
"Boom ......"
A blue lightning suddenly appeared in the sky, falling right between Fang Yun and the old man, Xiao Yuan subconsciously retreated to dodge, the dazzling light flashed Xiao Yuan's eyes slightly painful, and he had to squint, and the thunder exploded at the same time, shaking Xiao Yuan's ears buzzing.
This lightning thunder was too sudden, and no one could have thought that a blue thunderbolt would appear out of thin air at this time, but the thunder and lightning itself could not shock Xiao Yuan.
What shocked Xiao Yuan was that at the same time as the thunder and lightning appeared, the old man just opened his mouth, and when the thunder ended, Xiao Yuan only heard one word in the end.
“...... Morality. ”
Xiao Yuan was almost so angry that a mouthful of blood spurted out. The person who asked the question is simply too shameless, without the slightest clue, where is this dictation, it is simply playing with people! There are too many sentences ending in virtue in the scriptures of all saints, how can you guess it!
However, the old man ignored Xiao Yuan at all, looked at the sky with his eyes, and said the fourth sentence to himself: "Things have a beginning and an end, and things have an end." If you know what to do, you will be short. ”
Xiao Yuan didn't dare to think about it, so he hurriedly left a blank line and wrote the fourth sentence first. These are the words of Confucius in "University", Xiao Yuan remembered it very clearly, and immediately wrote it. At the same time, I was unwilling to guess what that sentence was.
The old man barely paused, and continued the third sentence: "When a bird is about to die, its song is also mourning, and when a man is about to die, its words are also good." And in the process, there was a sudden sound of a strong wind whistling around, and the sound of the wind blowing the leaves. Together with the chirping of insects and birds, it makes people feel irritated.
Xiao Yuan eliminated distracting thoughts and wrote with a pen, and this third sentence was Zengzi's words, which were widely circulated.
Then. The old man spoke sentence by sentence, and the speed of his speech remained constant, and the louder and more voices around him did not affect the old man in the slightest.
In addition to the insects and birds at the beginning, there was soon more wind and rain. Then there were frogs chirping, cicadas and horses' hooves screaming, and the voices became louder and more noisy.
Xiao Yuan once slept only two hours a day to study. With the courage to enhance self-control, he is basically unaffected, not only can he continue to write, but he is also unwilling to think about the first sentence.
"What the hell is that sentence? There are so many holy scriptures ending in virtue that I can't figure it out at all!"
"Even if it's a mountain of books, it's impossible to come up with a question that relies on Meng, there should be any skills I don't know. ”
Wenqu's heart did not move at all, and it did not help Xiao Yuan in the slightest.
I can't hear the first sentence, but I heard the next five sentences, which are the words of Confucius, Zengzi, Xunzi, Zi Sizi and King Wen of Zhou, a total of five sub-sages, and the seventh sentence is the words of the half-sage Han Feizi, and the rest are the words of the half-sage, so the first sentence is very likely to be the words of the sub-sage Mencius. ”
"Mencius said that there are too many words at the end of a sentence. For example, "Ambition is to the Tao, according to virtue", "and the virtue of King Wen", "Respect the virtuous and cultivate talents, in order to show virtue", and so on, and so on, and a second screening will be carried out! What judgment should be relied on?"
Xiao Yuan continued to dictate while thinking, although there were more and more noises, he could write word for word.
After a while, Xiao Yuan finally had an eyebrow.
"The speed of speech! Pause! Understood! The speed of his speech has not changed from beginning to end, and even the pause of each sentence is the same! Although I didn't hear him clearly, when I saw the time when he opened his mouth, and remembered the time when he closed his mouth, I knew how many words there were in that sentence, and I definitely had a chance to guess!" Xiao Yuan was overjoyed.
So, Xiao Yuan first recalled all the words that Mencius had said with the word "de" at the end, and then judged that the sentence should be between twelve and fourteen characters according to the old man's speed of speech, and finally removed all the sentences that were not enough words.
Then, Xiao Yuan tried one by one, and finally found that the sentence "Seeking is also Ji Shizai, and he can't change his morality" is the most appropriate for the old man's speed of speech, and this is still the first two sentences of a whole sentence, if you break the sentence carelessly, you will miss this sentence.
Xiao Yuan immediately wrote this sentence as quickly as possible, while remembering the old man's words at this moment, and then speeding up to finish.
After only a dozen breaths, the old man's speech speed suddenly accelerated, much twice as fast as before.
The surrounding sounds have also been superimposed, and in addition to the natural sounds, the vocals are starting to increase.
"Selling steamed buns! Big buns with big stuffing and thin skin!"
"Tofu Flower, Tofu Brain, Do You Want Sweet, Salty or Spicy?"
"Guest, come upstairs and sit down, our red-sleeved Oiran is idle today. ”
"Selling rice dumplings ......"
Xiao Yuan immediately felt the pressure doubled, those natural voices had no meaning to him, but those human voices were different, and they were very close to people's lives, which would inevitably make people involuntarily understand the meaning of those words, and even various foods would appear in front of him, which would inevitably occupy more of his mind.
But now the old man's speed of speech has increased, and the difficulty has increased dozens of times compared to the beginning.
Xiao Yuan found that the old man had just begun to speed up after a quarter of an hour, and fine illusory sweat appeared on his forehead, and he was secretly glad in his heart, fortunately he had thought of the method of cracking a quarter of an hour ago, and if he had thought of the method of cracking it after a quarter of an hour, it would be useless at all, because once he was distracted to deliberate now, he would inevitably make a mistake.
"That thunder at the beginning was not just a test. If you don't think about it and insist on writing only the latter one, as long as one is good, you can still pass the third cabinet. But if you are reluctant to give up this first sentence, it is very likely that you will be distracted and lose everything. ”
"This is not only a test of our ability, but also a test of our choices! If we really encounter a strong enemy, we should not think about killing the enemy, but we should run away and wait for survival. Let's think about revenge!"
Xiao Yuan finished the first sentence, there was no concern in his heart, and he tried his best to deal with the next dictation.
When there was still a hundred breaths left, the old man's speech speed increased again, and the sound of the battlefield was added to his voice.
The sound of drums, shouts of killing, the sound of weapons slashing on the body of the dragon clan, a large number of people are at the exit, and many spirit clans are using witchcraft. The wails of the soldiers and the shouts of the demon soldiers continued to echo in Xiao Yuan's ears.
"Kill the monster, kill the monster, and avenge me!"
"I don't want to die. I still have parents at home......"
"Help, I'm afraid, don't kill me, don't kill me. Ah......h
"Hahaha, people's hearts are so delicious, but I still like to eat human brains......"
At this moment. Xiao Yuan was suddenly extremely glad that he had been arrested by that Li Mowen when he was not a child, if he hadn't experienced that cruel picture and hadn't seen the scene of the Spirit Clan's cannibalism with his own eyes, his heart would definitely be shaken by these voices.
"The longer I persist and the higher I climb, the more demons I will kill in the future! It's not that I'm cold-blooded, but I'm accumulating strength to kill demons and destroy barbarians! No one can stop my holy path!"
Xiao Yuan's mind was highly concentrated, and his courage was driven by his spirit, forming an invisible force enveloping the surroundings, and a light shroud did its best to weaken those sounds.
Half an hour passed, the old man stopped, and after a few breaths, Xiao Yuan finished writing the last stroke.
"Passed. After the old man finished speaking, his figure dissipated.
Xiao Yuan felt extremely tired, and immediately sat on the ground to rest, and then the third pavilion released a white light and fell on him, allowing him to enjoy the baptism of strange power again.
"The white light of this book mountain is beneficial to everyone, and there are no side effects, it is very likely to have something to do with the talent of Wenqu Xing or Kong Sheng. Although there are nine mountains in Shushan, only the first two mountains have three pavilions in each mountain, and from the third mountain, there is only one test in each of the three mountains. Starting from the Three Mountains, I may get more baptisms, and if I get it, I am afraid that my courage will be infinitely close to the realm of Dong Chuyin. It's a pity that this time the book mountain is so difficult, it is almost impossible for me to reach it, so I don't think much about it. ”
With the baptism of the third white light, Xiao Yuanwen's palace, talent, courage and other aspects were strengthened again, but the mental exhaustion could not disappear immediately, so he did not go up immediately, but sat on the ground and read the "Analects" silently to recuperate. Prepare for the next second mountain.
Xiao Yuan had a faint trace of worry in his heart, the difficulty of this book mountain exceeded his original estimate, Xiao Yuan even suspected that if Chen Zhiming, a disciple of the poet in the Xiucai period, appeared here, he would not even be able to pass the first mountain and three pavilions, and the dictation of the third pavilion exam was too strange, and it was impossible for Chen Zhiming's character to let go of the first sentence without answering.
Xiao hiked and rested for an hour before he felt his energy regain, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that there were already three disciples of the Holy Family in the Third Pavilion.
"They are worthy of being disciples of all holy families, but it doesn't seem good to see them like this. Xiao Yuan looked at the three of them.
None of the three were writing, but sat on the ground with sad faces, Xiao Yuan guessed that they had taken the test once and failed, and were dragging their time to think about countermeasures.
Xiao Yuan sighed secretly in his heart, this kind of exam will not let anyone take advantage of it, the longer these people drag on, the more difficult the questions should be.
At this time, a child from a half-saint family raised his head and saw that Fang Yun was also sitting on the ground, and sighed, with some sympathy.
Another boy also looked at it, and cast an encouraging look at Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yuan said in his heart that this person is a true gentleman, nodded and gave an encouraging gaze, and then walked through the third pavilion and walked towards the second mountain.
The three children who remained in the third pavilion suddenly stood motionless as if they had been petrified by demonic magic.
One child didn't know what to say, and then made a gesture to wipe his tears, and the other two children really had the urge to cry when they saw it.
A poor disciple actually left all the elites of the Half-Saint family behind, the reality is too cruel, and those elders and books in the family don't say that!
