Mo Fei sat on a chair, in front of him is a courtyard, green tiles and red walls, green bamboo, a pebble path leads to the bamboo forest, there is a pool in the courtyard, moss crawls all over the stones on the edge of the pool, there are a few duckweed in the pool, two young lotus, and there is a stone lamp that looks very old at the edge, which is also covered with moss.

There is a stream that is introduced into a bamboo mechanism by the pool, the stream water flows downstream, drips into the bamboo tube, whenever the bamboo tube overflows, it will automatically pour out, so that the reciprocating circulation of this thing is not recognizable, it is a common landscape in the Japanese garden: "awakening bamboo", also called adding water.

However, at this time, the stream was hanging in the air, but it did not flow, and the bamboo was already overflowing, and it was falling, and the water had not yet been poured out. Just like a picture, a butterfly is still two or three meters away in front of Mo Fei, its colorful wings spread out, and it is delicate.

"Is that what you think is quiet?" a voice asked from an inexplicable place.

"Time stops, the movement of all things ends, and this is naturally stillness. Murphy heard himself say, "But it's not stillness, it's stop." Things don't move, but I move, it's not stillness. ”

As he spoke, he saw that the courtyard suddenly came to life, the butterflies flapped their wings and fluttered away, the water flowed down slowly, the bamboo tube fell back, and knocked on the stone with a snap, crisp and pleasant.

"So what?"

"Things move, and I move, my eyes move, my ears are shocked, my breath is urgent, and my heart is excited. It's not stillness. ”

When the words fell, the flow of time suddenly accelerated, and suddenly the young lotus bloomed, and then decayed, the pond froze and re-opened, and the flowers and plants on both sides of the bank flourished and withered, and reincarnated several times, only the green bamboo remained, and it was high.

But time was still accelerating, and after a while, the pond dried up, the green bamboo withered, and the leaves were left everywhere, and with a bang, the red wall collapsed, and the courtyard became a ruin.

But the vision suddenly brightened, outside was a farmland, after decades of cultivation and harvest, there was an extra hut on it, a fence was erected, and then a second courtyard was built next to the land, and after a while, the farmland became a new village, and the original courtyard was finally cleared after several storms and rains, and an ancestral hall was built.

A hundred years later, the ancestral hall was torn down, and a two-story small building was built on it, which then collapsed again, and several buildings were replaced in a row, hospitals, schools, and public offices.

One day, another person came here, knocked down the original old building, surrounded the red wall, covered it with green tiles, dug a pool of water, and planted lotus flowers. The stream drooped, the waking bamboo toppled down, and it slammed on the stone, still crisp and pleasant.

"Things move, but I don't move. Time has passed for a hundred years, the mood is the same, the flowers are blooming and falling, not happy or sad, this is quiet, right?"

"Time has changed, the vicissitudes of life, the door has been prosperous but turned a blind eye, covering the ears and stealing the bell, thinking that yesterday is still the same? Everything moves, and the heart does not move, this is not quiet, it is persistence. ”

"Then you say, how is quiet?"

"Haha," Mo Fei laughed and waved his hand, and in an instant, the high-rise buildings turned into dust, and the tens of millions of giant cities disappeared in an instant, the sun was shining, thousands of miles of yellow sand, and there was only one person left in the vast world.

"This is stillness. ”

......

Mo Fei saw the plaque again, and at this time, the word "Jing" was just a crooked and ugly word, and there was nothing strange about it. His eyes drooped, and he saw the two monks sitting upright under the plaque, Ming Zhen and Jiang Yuesong.

Ming Zhen seemed to notice his gaze and looked over, but Mo Fei looked around and found that most of the candidates were still looking up at the plaque, and they seemed to be sober earlier.

What is that, illusion?

However, the amazing jade he was wearing in his arms did not react at all.

Forget it, now that he came to his senses, Mo Fei hurried to look at the exam questions, but his face was a little strange at first glance.

"I don't know the number of things today, two of three or three, three of five, two of seven and seven, ask the geometry of things?"

"Today there is one chicken, which is worth five, one hen, which is worth three, and three chickens, which are worth one. If you buy 100 chickens for 100 dollars, ask the chickens, mothers, and chicks.

"There is a cloud in the "Counting Chapter": 'If the fate and power are the same, the accumulation cannot be different. 'What's the explanation?'

"Standard ten, this two, right three, then geometry?"

Mo Fei instantly had a sense of returning to the Pangu level exam, the first two of these questions were arithmetic, the third was three-dimensional geometry, and the fourth was the physics problem of the principle of leverage, which was difficult for him, and he did it in a moment.

Look at it again, there are a few more questions below, but they are even more bizarre, one question has dozens of petals pasted below, asking to find the three pieces that have been placed the longest among them, and arrange them in order.

There is also a question that asks you to write down the rhythm of the music that the test taker hears now. But Murphy didn't hear any music at all.

The last question is even more confusing, as if there are three cuts on it, and the question says that it is required to evaluate the quality of these three sword weapons according to these three sword marks.

Murphy was saddened to find that he had no clue except for the first few questions.

These should be specific topics for certain sects.

For example, the one who identifies the petals, it is likely to be the exam question from Moxianglou, the sect of Moxianglou is very special, its ancestor believes that "taste" can reach heaven and earth, it is the most direct and primitive contact between people and heaven and earth, and combined with dreams, to create a "dream immortal" exercise, can dream back to the previous life, traversing the red dust, so as to step into the avenue, known as the dream of the true monarch.

At present, the Supreme Elder of Moxiang Building, the Dream Fairy, is practicing this method. They rely on the "way of taste" to get started, so they have extremely high requirements for the monk's five senses, especially the sense of smell.

The one that requires recording the rhythm of the music should be the exam question of Yunyao Valley. However, this door is to enter the Tao with sound, and the pursuit of "Taoist sound" naturally has special requirements for the monk's sense of hearing and musicality.

The question that allows you to evaluate the sword weapon may be the exam question of the Sword Forge Valley. Although the Miluo Sword Sect in the Dao Alliance is also a sword sect, it pays more attention to its own cultivation, and the sword is only used as a kind of sustenance for its path. Only the Sword Forge Valley treats the sword itself as the embodiment of the Great Dao.

The root of it lies in the Heavenly Sword Casting Valley's Heavenly Sword "Heng Yuan", which is the most well-known and only surviving "immortal weapon" in this world, and the people of Sword Casting Valley believe that it is the great prop in this world.

And those few math and physics questions, but a little difficult to guess, the Thousand Machine Sect in the Dao League, and the Longyuan Pavilion in the overseas schools all belong to the sect of exhaustive study of heaven and earth, the former is more proficient in creation, similar to engineering, with refining tools and puppetry as the foundation of life, and the latter is more proficient in theory, similar to science, with Fu and formation as its foundation, but it is not strange which of these topics comes from.

Mo Fei did what he could, and then blindfolded the back a little, and waited until the three hours were full, Ming Zhen announced that the next assessment would be ten days later, and he would still gather on the platform, and the exam would be over.

Mo Fei left with Baili Kan Ze and Gu Kangshi and returned to Shannan. Baili Kan Ze was going to Wei Yueze to pick up his sister, but Mo Fei remembered that his Dongfu talisman was about to expire, and he also needed to go there to recharge, so he went with him.

After a while, the three of them arrived at the place, but before they entered the courtyard, Mo Fei felt that something was wrong, as if he was ...... Smells of blood?
