When a ray of sunshine in the early morning shone on Chang'an City, Zhuo Zangfeng had already eaten.

Unrelated personnel are not allowed to participate in the swordsmanship assessment, and Mo Ya stays in the inn.

He did not take the carriage prepared by His Royal Highness Yueyue, and walked alone.

The inn is separated from the Tai Academy by one street, and after turning two corners, there is an antique academy in front of it.

The scenery is different from the past, today is the day for female cultivators to hold the vitality test.

The wide area in front of the door was filled with all sorts of carriages, ornate and rudimentary.

One by one, well-dressed girls got out of the car, and those who knew each other greeted each other, while those who didn't know each other stared at each other's gorgeous clothes, secretly comparing themselves with themselves.

It seems that they are not here to participate in the vitality test, but to the beauty pageant.

The arrogance of the girl was expressed through her expression and through a deliberately hidden reserve, and for a while, the warbler Yanyan in front of the Tai Academy was full of laughter.

Zhuo Zangfeng walked among these girls dressed in red and green, without looking aside, past the heavy fat and pink incense, and Shi Shiran walked into the Tai Academy under their suspicious eyes.

The body is in the flowers, and the heart is like stopping water. It's just that it's calm.

For some unknown reason, the girls laughed happily as they watched him walk away.

The library pavilion has been here several times, Zhuo Zangfeng is familiar with the way, it didn't take much effort to find this place, then turned to the east, turned a corridor, and raised his eyes to see a red plum blossom.

The closer you go, the more tranquil the floral fragrance becomes. Under the shade of plum branches, among the dense flowers, a small and somewhat simple building is exposed.

Beyond the flowers, Zhuo Zangfeng looked up at the plaque above - Meixiangtang. I thought it was a quiet place. Striding up the steps, there were two guards at the door, and an expressionless teacher asked his name, checked his waist card, and nodded to let him in.

The inside of the incense hall is quite spacious, there is a row of benches, seven or eight old men wearing martial crowns sitting on the chairs, their faces are serious, and no one speaks when they see someone coming in.

Looking at their expressions and clothes, you can know that these people are retired military attachés. As the chief examiner of the Tai Academy's swordsmanship, he is not only trusted by the dynasty, but also needs to have a deep knowledge of sword identification.

However, sometimes it is inevitable that there are officials who rely on the emperor's grace and put up a false name as the main exam.

The first in the east is the former commander of the Northern Ya Forbidden Army, named Shi Mengde, and the rest are all military generals who followed the emperor and once held important positions. They have a common trait, they have little contact with the outside world, and they can all be said to be veritable old stubbornness.

They have stubborn capital, deep trust of the emperor during their tenure, do not make friends with foreign ministers, do not form parties for personal gain, and have undergone many tests in the era when they accompanied the king like a tiger. Therefore, these people are inevitably old-fashioned and arrogant.

Zhuo Zangfeng carefully observed the hall, Shi Mengde put down the tea bowl in his hand, smacked his lips as if he was reminiscing about the taste of tea, and then looked at the young man with a timid face and nodded, and asked, "Your name is Zhuo Zangfeng." ”

After Zhuo Zangfeng finished answering, he saw that the old man next to the examiner carefully wrote on the candidate's comment book.

Shi Mengde coughed, "Huang Enhao, you are the first student to participate in the swordsmanship exam in the Qingyun List, I hope it won't embarrass us too much!"

Zhuo Zangfeng didn't say anything, but asked, "Can you start?"

Shi Mengde was amused by the young man, "You doll is really big! Before the official explained the rules of the exam, you were in a hurry to ask, your temperament was too anxious and not suitable for cultivation." ”

After listening to the slightly joking words of Lao Shi, who had always been serious, the other old men also laughed.

Shi Mengde waited for everyone to stop laughing and began to explain the rules of the exam.

"This exam is very meaningful, it is the first time in my Sheng Tang Dynasty to be a swordsman, so the assessment items are also very profound, and it is extremely difficult for students. ”

He paused for a moment and continued: "It is precisely because everything is difficult at the beginning that it must not be used for this reason to come up with some simple defense tests or rough sword identification. ”

"After we unanimously agreed, the difficulty of this test has increased a lot, because it is the first time for me in the Tang Dynasty, and I dare not be hasty. This is to set an example for those who come after you. The purpose is not to let them retreat from the difficulties, but to let them rise to the occasion. ”

"Tomorrow, the announcement of the Qingyun List swordsmanship exam may cause an uproar, but Your Majesty will naturally understand our good intentions here. This assessment is a bit harsh, but the topic selection is fair and transparent. Students are required to have at least ten years of knowledge of swords, and we are still nervous, just afraid of disappointing Your Majesty. ”

Zhuo Zangfeng listened to him keep emphasizing the difficulty of the exam, but did not mention the exam items, and he couldn't help but feel a little irritable. Thinking of cultivating the mind before cultivating, I tried my best to restrain my emotions, and quickly thought about the skills of screening swords on "Sword Products".

Shi Mengde was still chattering about the significance of the exam and the huge difficulty of the test.

Zhuo Zangfeng silently recited those sword mantras, and his impetuous heart gradually calmed down.

It's no wonder that this old-fashioned Shi Mengde tried his best to exaggerate the difficulty of the test as soon as he came up, thinking about the long-term Longmen test, how could he not be under pressure?

Fortunately, he managed to control his emotions. Zhuo Zangfeng was very satisfied, perhaps this was the most critical step to enter the threshold of cultivators.

Finally, Shi Mengde said something like not to live up to the grace of God, not to be discouraged, and then instructed his followers to bring the sword to be tested to the front of the hall.

The two Tai Academy handymen came to the meeting several times, took twelve swords, placed them on the bookcase in front of the examiner in order, and retreated to the side with their hands down.

The old man talked for a long time, in addition to emphasizing the difficulty of the exam, the most he said was "This is the first time that the Qingyun List of the Tang Dynasty has held swordsmanship."

Looking at the examiner's serious expression, listening to his words over and over again, Zhuo Zangfeng muttered in his heart. How could this swordsmanship assessment be so difficult by him, it seems to be a hundred times more difficult than winning the first place in the Dragon Gate Test.

Anyway, when he came, he was ready.

Looking carefully at the sword branches placed on the bookcase, I found that they were of different lengths and shapes, and I didn't know what questions the examiner was going to make, and I didn't ask how many tests I had passed. Zhuo Zangfeng didn't say a word, and looked at it attentively.

Shi Mengde saw that the young man below was far away from the bookcase, frowned slightly, and said: "You can watch it closely, and you are also allowed to take out the sword and taste it, and write the age and material of these swords on the table in turn in order from left to right, so that the examiner can evaluate it." ”

After finishing speaking, he was still unsatisfied, and said: "According to the discipline of the examination room, it is not allowed to make noise, it is not allowed to look around, and it is not allowed to bribe the examiner! Falling the sword is regarded as disrespect to the examination room, and the candidate will be disqualified." It's an hour, now you're ready to go!"

Because the test of swordsmanship is the first time that the Qingyun List of the Tang Dynasty has been held, it is also groundbreaking, and the assessment items are flexible and changeable, so it is not like an ordinary exam to search students to see if there is any entrainment of private collections.

Zhuo Zangfeng's gaze swept over those swords one by one, and when he encountered something that he couldn't be sure of, he couldn't make a decision, he would step forward and gently open the scabbard to carefully discern it.

Shi Mengde explained the discipline of the examination room, announced the start, no longer looked at the candidates below, signaled the entourage to pour the tea full, slowly blew the tea leaves floating on the water, and took a sip.

The other examiners looked indifferent, sitting with big thorns, some meditating with their eyes closed, and some looking at the young man at the table with lazy eyes, looking bored. (To be continued.) )
