This exam, not compared to the township test, the township test to raise people, only one day, and the general test, there are three days, there is an exam, there are seven articles, followed by strategy, and poetry.

During this period, the entire Gongyuan was locked down and the door was not allowed to open, even if the people inside died, they had to stay.

After a while, the questions of the exam were sent down by the examiners and officials of each room, and Lin Xi looked at it casually, and there were only two words "Zi Yue", which was the question.

Seeing this, Lin Xi smiled, this topic can be said to be very boring, it is estimated that most candidates will explain their opinions according to the Confucian scriptures, but Lin Xi does not have that kind of boring mind, but casually on the rice paper, wrote down the eight characters of "Words and laws, heart moves at will".

Obviously, this time, Lin Xi is still using the theory of mind, from the ancient sage who created the Zhuzi Sutra to teach the world, and became the eternal immortal god in people's hearts, and then gradually extended to the theory of mind, a word, the law moves; between the rotation of the mind, the cycle of life and death, all under control; and finally everyone is like a dragon, everyone can get immortality, it can be said that it is done in one go, majestic, but the content of the article seems too shocking, it is estimated that in addition to the school of mind, most literati can not accept it.

"This is what I think of as 'Zi Yue', only ethics and morality, what is the use of 'Zi Yue' that cannot make people immortal?" Putting down the brush, Lin Xi smiled lightly in his heart.

......

This imperial examination can be said to be the most solemn in the history of the Daqian Dynasty, and this examination is not only the largest number of people in history, but also mixed.

The powerful families in this dynasty have sent their own brilliant sons to participate in the imperial examination, and some of them have a much higher prestige in the world's corporal forest than many examiners combined.

This time, even Li Shenguang, who served as the deputy examiner, felt a lot of pressure, and Hong Xuanji, the chief examiner who sat in the first place, didn't say a word, as if he was full of thoughts.

At this time, Hong Xuanji was a little entangled in his heart, he had already learned that Lin Xi had also come to participate in the imperial examination, and he also understood that the other party was determined to win the position of champion, and it was because of this that he would be worried.

Hong Xuanji, who knew Lin Xi's strength, intellectually knew that this Lin Xi could not be offended, and it was best to give him the first place, but Hong Xuanji, who was a master of science, did not agree with Lin Xi's theory of mind in his heart.

"That's it, if he can really write an article that the ancient sages can agree with and beat the others, then it is understandable that he is the first place, but if his performance is average, I will not rate him the first place with my conscience!"

Determined his attitude towards Lin Xi in his heart, Hong Xuanji's always serious face loosened slightly, and then glanced at Li Shenguang and the other examiners without a trace, and then returned to his previous appearance of not moving like a mountain.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little depressing, Li Shenguang stood up, coughed lightly, and then slowly said, "Colleagues, as examiners, we seek good talents for the society and decide the fate of the child, especially this time, determine whether the article is good or bad, you must not be careless, you are all successful characters who have studied and cultivated their spirits, when you can listen to what people can listen to, see what people can not read, why don't you come out together and see the profound spirit of your candidates' articles?"

"Master Li is right, let's come out and watch the spirit of these candidates' articles. ”

The examiners present are all characters who have experienced several literary wars and studied for decades, as long as they hold their breath and concentrate, get rid of distracting thoughts, look at qi, look at qi, and sense some things, they can still do it.

Seeing that Hong Xuanji had no intention of objecting, Li Shenguang threw bricks and jade, and took the lead in turning his head to look at one of the candidates' houses, a bright light flashed in his eyes, "Look, that one should be the examination room of Grandmaster Wenyuan, the literary spirit is soaring to the sky, like a martial arts saint, full of domineering intent, and the combination of rigidity and softness, the momentum can compete with the sun and the moon!"

On the roof of the house that Li Shenguang was looking at, it was empty and empty, and there was nothing.

But in the eyes of Li Shenguang and others, they saw a soft, tough, and white light, which went straight to the sky, giving people a vast, upright taste, this is a person with a literary and majestic atmosphere, who may have never practiced Taoism, but as long as they want to cultivate, they can easily cultivate into ghosts and immortals, and survive the first few thunder tribulations.

The ancient sages, some of whom may not have practiced Taoism in their lives, but the aura of the rhyme in their chests reaches to the sky, and their souls will go out of their bodies unconsciously, easily surviving the seven thunder tribulations and becoming the existence of the Creator.

It can be said that every great Confucian, a person who is full of literary spirit, is a master of the Immortal Dao, even if he does not cultivate Taoism, the roar of the Great Confucian can easily suppress the soul of the ghost and immortal.

After reading the Wen Yuan Grandmaster's demeanor, the examiners looked in other directions, and there were also lights in the other examination rooms, but some were bright, some were only one foot, and some were like lights.

"When people concentrate on writing articles, distracting thoughts are eliminated, and the spirit is revealed, condensed in the article, it forms a literary atmosphere, those candidates who can't see the literary atmosphere, their articles, there must be no spirit of their own, even if the writing is full of flowers, wonderful writing, it is still not worth seeing, these, it belongs to the ranks of the first candidates!"

Li Shenguang said lightly, the examiners nodded in agreement, even Hong Xuanji nodded slightly in agreement, he is a master of science, and his literary tone is not even weaker than that of Grandmaster Wenyuan, so he naturally understands the importance of the spirit contained in the article, writing an article can be the same as practicing martial arts, if you don't integrate your own spirit, you can't write a good article.

"Huh?" At this moment, Li Shenguang suddenly saw the east examination room, and suddenly a stream of fine light floated up, straight into the sky! In the air, a cloud was faintly formed, brilliant as splendor!

"Splendid article, splendid article is in the east examination room, who is in that house?" Li Shenguang said in surprise.

"The house in the east examination room is the Fang family's eight-year-old prodigy, Fang Yuan, what's wrong?, my lord, have you seen the splendid article?" an examiner replied.

"Well, it is worthy of being a prodigy who is famous in the sea, and his literary spirit is sky-high, and he has formed a splendid general, which is a splendid article that is rare to see in several imperial examinations!" Li Shenguang sighed.

"In this way, the first place this time will probably be born between Grandmaster Wenyuan and this little prodigy!" an examiner echoed.
