Literary exam

————————————————

......

After that drinking, a few days later, it was the most deserted competition of the seven annual banquets.

In previous years, there were still a few contestants, and as for this year.....

Those contestants turned out to be spectators by the palace walls.

crowded there to watch the annual banquet with the smallest number of people in the previous literary exams-

There are only two seats, which means that there are only two people in attendance!

......

"Alas!"

The chief examiner was the elder of the pavilion, he looked at the huge open space in front of the Qingshu Hall and only two tables, and shook his head helplessly: "It's really not as good as a year!"

Another old minister on the side said with a smile: "There is no way, who makes the kid of the Shuo family have good literary talents, and he is the champion of the literary examination every year." Who else would like to attend?"

"How can you not participate because of this?" Ge Lao sneered: "Then the champion of the martial arts test is still Ah Ping? Why are more and more people participating?" According to me, I just look down on the essay exam.......

"Don't worry about it!" the old minister smiled: "Let's start!"

......

With a paging from the petty officer.

The only two contestants who participated in the literary examination slowly walked to their respective tables in front of the Qingshu Palace.

On one side is the champion of several consecutive literary examinations - Shuo Fuji.

He stood there handsomely, both in appearance and temperament, revealing such a difference.

On the other hand, on the other side -

The boy named Jiang Heng.

His waist is straight, his eyes are calm, and there is nothing else special about it.

......

The host of this year's literary examination is Nangong Beauty, who was specially invited.

It should be hoped that she will attract popularity, but this year due to some special reasons, this effect did not achieve the expected effect.

After Nangong Beauty appeared, she bowed slightly to the elders of the pavilion, and then stood on the hall of the Qing Study, and said in a clear voice:

"This year's topic is Untitled. ”

With the sound of gongs and drums, the essay test simply began.

The noise of onlookers died down instantly.

Because they all know what kind of temper the chief examiner is, and in his exam, you can watch from the sidelines is already a big step for you.

If you dare to say more, the consequences will be very serious.

......

After the literary test began, Jiang Heng and Shuo Buji did not write directly.

They glanced at each other, and Na Shuo was the first to speak:

"It's finally us!"

"Yes!" Jiang Heng smiled: "It's time for the two of us to compete individually!"

Shuo Buji nodded, and with a wave of his long sleeves, the table and chair beside him were pushed to the steps in front of the Qingshu Hall.

Shuo Buyi said: "Compared with you, you can't use a simple way!"

The words fell, and the light blue sword floated in the palm of his hand.

As soon as the sword shadow moved, Shuo Fuji danced with a light blue sword, and he performed the entry-level swordsmanship of the Qingyan Ancient School-Light Wind Swordsmanship.

The sword moves are ethereal, fluttering, and look extremely elegant, and they should be on that Shuo Fuji's body, which is simply natural.

But isn't this a literary exam?

How did you play with the sword?

.....

And looked under the shadow of the sword, only to see that on the floor of His Royal Highness Qingshu, the sword qi slashed silently, leaving traces one after another, forming lines of words.

......

"Good word!"

Ge Lao looked at Shuo Buer's performance as in previous years, and nodded with satisfaction: "Shuo'er's calligraphy has improved more than before!"

When he finished saying this, he found that Nangong Beauty had already walked down the Qingshu Hall and walked towards Jiang Heng.

I saw Nangong Beauty walking to Jiang Heng's side, and asked with a smile:

"Are you going to use the sword like him?"

After grinding a few times on the grinding disc with one hand, the brush was all stained with black ink, and then handed it to Jiang Heng: "Or use this?"

Jiang Heng smiled and took the brush handed by Nangong Beauty: "Since it is a literary test, it is naturally more appropriate to use it!"

Nangong Beauty still smiled: "Since Master Jiang uses it, he naturally needs a helper to sharpen ink, and I happen to be free..... Does Master Jiang mind?"

"There is a beautiful woman grinding ink for Jiang, so naturally I don't mind!"

As soon as everyone thought that Jiang Heng was going to use the most traditional way to deal with the essay exam questions.

Jiang Heng's pen did not put it down, but raised it high.

Towards the void, the void was drawn stroke by stroke.

"What is he doing here?"

In the Qingshu Palace, the elder of the pavilion and many other old ministers were shocked by the method Jiang Heng used next.

I only saw Jiang Heng holding a pen to the void where there was no paper at all, writing in a similar manner.

There's no paper, and there's no reliance.

But the ink was suspended out of thin air after the stroke fell.

The pen and ink waved, and a line of words quietly appeared in front of everyone's eyes, floating in the void:

[Love the country and love the beauty more]

......

Even Nangong Beauty on the side was stunned, she knew that Jiang Heng would surprise people, but she still underestimated the accident he brought this time.

Leaving the word in the void, how did he do it.

Obviously, Jiang Heng, who was taking the literary test at the moment, did not explain to her, but reminded Nangong Beauty: "It's time to grind ink!"

I saw that under the ink, the words left behind were even more surprising-

......

The road is not endless

I can't tell the grievances of the world

It has been fate for generations

Shedding the same blood

Drinking the same water

It's a long and long road

Red flowers, of course, are paired with green leaves

Who will accompany you in this life

Slim back and forth

The old days are resurfacing

Although the lotus root is broken, it is still connected

Sigh that things in the world are changing

Love the country and love the beauty even more

Which hero would rather be alone

Good boy is full of guts

Ambition and pride are famous all over the world

Life is just a few autumns

Don't get drunk and don't give up

My beauty in the east

Long river to the west

Come on, have a drink

Don't get drunk and don't give up

Don't worry about your worries

......

The fusion of swordsmanship and calligraphy is certainly amazing.

But Jiang Heng's ability to leave words in the void made more people envious.

"How the hell is this done?"

They couldn't see what Shuo Buji had written, but they had clearly read the poem that Jiang Heng wrote with the means of 'leaving words in the void'.

"Good words!"

There are only two words that sum up everyone's opinion on this article.

......

But this is just their opinion, as for the outcome of the literary examination, it is still in the hands of those old ministers of the pavilion.

As a minor official stood in front of the Qingshu Hall with the assessment results, he began to announce in public:

"This essay examination was evaluated by the examiners. ”

"Shuo Fuji's calligraphy, literary style, and knowledge are all excellent, so the winner of the literary test is Shuo Fuji!"

......

The result is still a win.

"How so?"

"It's obviously a well-written ...... this poem"

"Why?"

Doubts erupted in the crowd, they didn't even know what Shuo Fuji had written!

Because when Ge Lao finished reading Shuo Fuji's article on the ground, he waved his palm and erased it.

As for whether the assessment is fair or not, no one knows, only that Jiang Heng's poem should not lose.

"Because it's just a song!"

When Ah Ping's voice sounded in the crowd, the hustle and bustle was suppressed in an instant: "The most important thing is that the examiners are all those old antiques, and the seven emotions and six desires in their eyes are vulgar existences, and the only national righteousness is the right way!"

"Isn't it untitled?"

One person asked, "Why is it related to the general interests of the country again?"

Ah Ping sneered: "Hmph! It has always been like this, and this guy Shuo Buji also knows this, so this championship is destined to be his!"

One person said indignantly: "Go to his country!"

"Different positions, different views, this win or loss is nothing at all!"

Na Aping had already turned around: "The real battle will be in three days, just take a literary test, just take a look......"

Turn away.
