The merchants on the entire street next to the Gongyuan are pasting all kinds of red paper that dominates and rises to the top today, and there are also small stalls and vendors selling high school charms and martial arts charms that I don't know where they came from, and there are also candidates who are kneeling and praying in front of the portrait of Xuanyuan Daozun.

In the small courtyard, Chen Gang was helping Chu Qiguang check the examination box on the side, which contained pen, ink, paper, inkstone and other things, all of which were prepared for today's test.

Although the martial arts' scriptures are just a passing scene, they still have the most basic requirements, if they can't even pass the test with such simple scriptures, no matter how strong the martial arts are, they will not be admitted, and the discipline on the scene is still very strict, once they are caught cheating, they will be disqualified for life.

Chen Gang sent the prepared test box to Chu Qiguang: "Brother dog, I have checked it several times, and it should be fine." ”

With the examination box, Chu Qiguang came to the Gongyuan, and Chu Qiguang lined up to enter the examination room.

Chu Qiguang observed the candidates' team, and calculated that there were only about fifty people, obviously each county was basically a wealthy family that monopolized the registration of martial arts through the recommendation mechanism, so that the disciples of the poor family could only participate in the martial arts if they hugged the legs of the wealthy families.

However, Chu Qiguang thought that the wealthy clan had monopolized a large amount of martial arts knowledge, and practicing martial arts required silver and pills, so their monopoly on martial arts made most of the poor disciples could only go to the liberal arts examination, which naturally couldn't be easier.

Chu Qiguang suddenly had a thought in his heart: "Maybe in addition to entering the demon, the martial arts and the Dao art itself ...... It is the biggest obstacle to the development of this world. ’

Then Chu Qiguang saw the youngest teenager in the team, the other party's face looked extremely immature, but at this moment, he was holding his chest with his hands, and he looked cold.

This person is the youngest candidate in this exam, Jiang Longyu among the eight generals of Xinghan.

Thirteen-year-old Jiang Longyu shook his head and sighed while queuing: "I really don't understand, why do you have to take the martial arts exam before taking the martial arts exam." Can't you just take the martial arts exam? None of you think it's a waste of time?"

Chu Qiguang looked at the ugly faces of the candidates around him, and said in his heart that this bear child is really as arrogant as Qiao Zhi said.

Jiang Longyu didn't seem to know it at all, he took the water poured by the little guy, and sighed while drinking: "The spiritual water in the feng shui pool on this ancestral dragon mountain is good, but the taste is too bitter, I really can't get used to drinking it." ”

Zulong Mountain is a real royal garden, and the spiritual veins on it are related to the feng shui array of the entire capital, and the spiritual water on the mountain has only been enjoyed by the royal family in the past dynasties.

Chen Yuebai, who came from the Chen family in Liyang County and had long flowing hair, couldn't help but say: "Okay, Jiang Longyu, you don't show off a few words, everyone is lining up to go to the Tribute Institute to prepare for the exam." ”

This Chen family in Liyang County is the Chen family who spent a lot of money to compete with the Wu family and Chu Qiguang for the cotton cloth business, and this Chen Yuebai is also the Chen Yuebai who said that he wanted to abolish Chu Qiguang on stage a few days ago.

Jiang Longyu said helplessly: "Why am I showing off? Do you think I want to drink this? It's not that my master forced me, the pills I eat, drink, take, and ointment I eat every day are all given to death, and I can't even choose what to eat." ”

Jiang Longyu sighed: "And you don't know how much pressure I am under now, the master invests tens of thousands of taels of silver on me every year, and everything I do has to be related to martial arts." ”

"To be honest, I really envy some of you who spent all day doing nothing, eating, drinking, and having fun. ”

Chen Yuebai gritted her teeth and decided to turn her head away and stop talking.

As Jiang Longyu Abba kept talking, the faces of the candidates became more and more ugly, but no one dared to speak against this Xinghan Eighth General.

Until it was Jiang Longyu's turn to queue...... And after he entered the examination room, he couldn't speak anymore, which finally relieved the candidates present.

When it was Chu Qiguang's turn, the invigilator checked his documents, and then compared the appearance written on the documents, while the other invigilator checked Chu Qiguang's clothes and test box.

After entering, the Taoist priests taught by the Heavenly Master performed the exorcism ritual and the demon subduing ritual, and Chu Qiguang had the Heavenly Demon Foundation Building Method, allowing the Taoist priests to chant scriptures and burn paper, and they were not affected.

Then he entered a square in the courtyard and saw that rows of desks had been placed there.

After all the candidates had come in and taken their seats, the invigilators began to hand out the wrapped test papers and drafts.

A moment later, with the ringing of bells from the bell tower, the invigilator shouted, "The time has come, let's begin." ”

Everyone began to open the test paper and look at the questions.

No matter how sloppy the young and young people usually are, they all start to answer the questions on the draft after reading the questions seriously, and finally transcribe them in a unified manner.

Only Jiang Longyu still had a relaxed face, and with a stroke of the pen, he wrote directly on the answer paper, and he didn't even bother to type the draft, just by virtue of his status as an eighth general of the Xinghan Dynasty, no one would dare to eliminate him in the Jingyi exam of the children's test.

Chu Qiguang answered almost after more than half an hour, and then began to carefully transcribe the answer, and finally waited for the time to end.

Fortunately, he has found time to practice calligraphy every day in the past few months, and although the writing on paper is not excellent, it will not be thrown out directly by the examiner.

When the candidates walked out of the examination room, they immediately began to exchange their answers in groups, only Chu Qiguang and Jiang Longyu were not approached.

Chu Qiguang has a bad reputation, and the candidates are ashamed to be with him, and even Wang Chaoqun and Zhang Yuntian from Tongxian County also walk around him.

Jiang Longyu is too arrogant, and in the past two days, all the candidates who want to make friends with him have been directly angry with him.

He didn't care either, in his eyes, these candidates from Beiyue Mansion were all unknowns, and they had no value at all.

......

After Chu Qiguang went back, he cultivated directly until the next day.

And early the next morning, five huge circular rings were erected in the square in front of the Tribute Courtyard.

The candidates had already stood aside and were gearing up, and more than a dozen of them secretly looked at Chu Qiguang's position from time to time.

In the outermost position, hundreds of spectators were already standing in the ring.

All martial arts competitions in the ring of Wuke are allowed to be watched by outsiders, which is the rule set by Emperor Taizu of the Han Dynasty, on the one hand, to encourage folk martial arts through free spectators, and on the other hand, to supervise the whole people, in order to show the fairness of the martial arts ring.

In the restaurant box not far away, Hao Yongtai and Hao Xiangtong occupied a good position in the window, just to see the situation in and around the ring.

Hao Yongtai said with some expectation: "I didn't expect that the martial arts prodigy Jiang Longyu is also here, with his martial arts talent and talent, he should be the first in this children's test." ”

As a martial idiot, although he has no outstanding talent, Hao Yongtai still likes to watch the martial arts competition in the ring, and this time he knew that Jiang Longyu, the eighth general of the Xinghan Dynasty, was also coming to participate in the children's test in Beiyue Mansion, so he immediately came over to watch the battle.

Hao Xiangtong heard that he was coming to watch the battle, and all over the field followed him to watch the ring, and his eyes swept at the moment...... I was looking for a figure among the candidates.
