"He's just good at reading." Dean Li smiled modestly.

That being said, there was a clear joy in his eyes, and he was obviously very satisfied with Mo Li's performance.

Not far away, the Great Qi National Master looked intently at the window, as if he hadn't heard the conversation between the two at all.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a smile of relief.

At first glance, it looks like an old farmer standing on the edge of a field with a sickle in his hand, looking at the scene of the harvest full of joy.

"The young talisman master of the Great Qi Dynasty is even better than I imagined," he thought silently in his heart, "If you can recruit all such talents for Your Majesty, why can't Great Qi spend that long night?" ”

Luo Chuan, the head of the exorcism division, stood still in place, motionless, as if transformed into a sculpture. His expression was as calm and breezy as ever, and his gaze was as deep as an ancient well.

The shadow of the house cast right on his face, making it impossible to discern his thoughts from his face.

Shangguan Jin knew that Lord Si was quietly deducing the future again.

After a while, a faint smile appeared on Luo Sitou's face, and he seemed to be in a good mood, and then he stretched out his hand and pointed to a pavilion in the shade of the academy's grass and trees, and said to everyone present:

"It's still a long way off. Why don't we go to that gazebo for a cup of tea? ”

The saint's proposal was naturally not rejected by everyone.

Especially Dean Lee.

He knew that Luo Chuan was a tea lover and was keen to collect precious tea from all over the country; Moreover, the white jade teapot that Luo Chuan carried with him with the space magic weapon is also a special magic weapon - the tea contained in it will have a magical power, which can make people get rid of distracting thoughts and calm their minds.

"So I finally have a chance to taste the tea made by the Sage Strong Man today?" Dean Li thought to himself with anticipation.

However, after sitting down, Luo Chuan looked at Dean Li with a smile: "Since the death of the previous dean, I haven't drunk Longmen Academy's 'Baiwei Tea' for five years. I wonder if I will be lucky enough to taste it again today? ”

Dean Li was silent for a few seconds, then squeezed out a smile and responded politely, "...... No problem. ”

He thought that he would have the privilege of prostituting a saint for nothing today.

Unexpectedly, he was prostituted by the other party.

………

The process of answering the questions was very smooth.

On the blank paper in front of him, one after another the questions disappeared and reappeared. The tip of the brush flies like a fly, outlining a rigorous and complex pattern.

The further you go, the more obscure the topic becomes, and the more complex the symbols you need to draw.

But Mo Li was not flustered.

On the contrary, as the golden number in the upper right corner of the paper gradually increased, his mood became more and more cheerful.

He felt that this assessment was tailor-made for himself.

Because the answer to every question can be found in the notes he reviewed yesterday, it is all in his expectation.

An hour flies.

About five minutes before the end of the test, a very short and unexpected question appeared on the blank paper in front of him:

"What is a charm?"

Next to these words, there is also a line of small black letters, indicating that there is no standard answer to this question, and the master can answer according to his own understanding.

"In today's assessment, there are still such simple questions?" Mo Li was surprised.

The definition of "character" is clearly written in beginners' books.

Just like all scholars memorize "Sound Rhythm Enlightenment".

All the fledgling talisman masters of the Great Qi Dynasty can basically memorize the answer to this question backwards.

He didn't expect that after answering a series of questions about unpopular talismans such as "Cure Three Yin Malaria Talismans", "Ruined Talismans of the Destiny Palace", "Talismans of the Chicken Dog Ascending the House", "Talisman for the Elderly and Stroke", and so on, such a simple question would appear.

However, thinking of the time constraints, he did not think about the deep meaning behind this question, but quickly wrote the original words in the book:

"Fu Seal is the medium through which the monk communicates with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth."

When he was done, his handwriting disappeared along with the title on the blank paper, and no new title appeared.

The golden number in the upper right corner has changed from "one hundred" to "one hundred and five".

"Answering this question correctly, you actually added five points at once?" Mo Li's eyes widened.

He thought about it for a while and felt that this should be a benefit for his fast completion of the questions.

After all, no one else may be able to answer the 100 questions in the allotted hour.

Thinking of this, he raised his head again and quietly looked at his competitors.

Shen Qiu still had a sad face.

Zhao Xinran's pen tip also hung in the air for a long time and did not fall for a long time.

As for Gu Xu, he sat in his seat with his eyes closed, looking as if he was meditating.

The corners of Mo Li's mouth turned up, no longer hiding his happy mood.

…………

But Mo Li didn't expect that as early as half an hour ago, Gu Xu had already finished answering all the questions.

The reason why he would sit there with his eyes closed was because he had nothing to do, so he simply tried to deduce the possibility of various permutations and combinations of the "Star Array" spell in his head, and accidentally deduced hundreds of them.

The first hundred questions, Gu Xu completed it easily.

However, in the face of the last question that Mo Li thought was a "welfare" for nothing, he hesitated for two minutes and did not write for a long time.

He felt that the examiner put this question at the end, and specifically emphasized that "there is no standard answer, you can play freely", which obviously has another meaning.

This reminded him of what he had seen in the notes of the Empty Mystery Man:

"The essence of runes is 'naming'.

"It gives a special character to paper or other objects in a special language.

"For example, the most basic 'Taishang Arctic Town Demon Killing Talisman' is equivalent to giving the attribute of 'Killing Ghosts' to a piece of paper."

According to the Kongxuan Sanren, these were the words he said when he traveled to Luojing City to meet with the National Teacher and discuss the connection between the Fu Dao and the Great Dao of Cause and Effect.

At that time, the Kongxuansan people had not yet become ghosts, and the national teacher was also deeply inspired by his words, and his Fu Dao cultivation was greatly improved, and he officially became a generation of grandmasters.

"Perhaps, this is the answer that the national teacher wants to see?" Gu Xu silently guessed in his heart.

He pondered for a moment, and in line with the principle of answering more questions without deducting points, he fused the views of both sides into one sentence and wrote it down on paper.

Subsequently, the title disappeared along with the text.

The golden number in the upper right corner flashed a few times, changing from "one hundred" to "one hundred and twenty".

By answering this last seemingly simple question, Gu Xu managed to earn twenty points—fifteen points more than Mo Li's rote answer.

…………

In the gazebo not far away, the big men are quietly drinking tea around a stone table.

Dean Li stubbornly ordered the handymen in the academy to send a pot of "Baiwei tea". Then Shangguan Jin smiled and took the teapot and poured a cup for everyone.

Perhaps because she often served by Luo Chuan's side, her every gesture when pouring tea was elegant and impeccable.

"Baiwei Tea" is a specialty of Longmen Academy, its tea leaves originated from a tea tree planted by Emperor Taizong in the academy hundreds of years ago, and is boiled by the famous "Siguo Spring" in the academy.

As its name suggests, it can unconsciously arouse a variety of emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, and is extremely helpful for monks who are climbing towards the "Wangxiang Terrace" and need to experience the various states of life.

To a certain extent, it can be said to be one of the foundations of Longmen Academy as the "No. 1 School of Great Qi Practitioners".

Of course, for the monks of the fifth realm and above, who have already walked through the "Meng Po Pavilion", it is not very useful.

But Shangguan Jian remembered many things in the past in this short moment.

She thought of the tragic experience of working in the inn in her childhood, the sense of accomplishment of the gradual improvement of her status and cultivation after entering the Exorcism Division, the joy of being appreciated by the head of the Division, the quiet concentration of painting alone in the room, and the loss of missing the inheritance due to a mistake on Laoshan Mountain......

When she opened her eyes again, she felt that the true yuan in her body, which had been calm for a long time, suddenly showed signs of restlessness.

And Princess Zhaoning, who was sitting opposite her, was also inevitably affected by "Baiwei Tea".

In a short moment, the princess's gaze was no longer as calm as usual, but a little lonely, a little helpless, like a little girl who had run away from home and could not find her way.

Suddenly, Luo Sishou drank all the tea in his cup, and couldn't help but sigh: "What a good tea!" ”

Dean Li smiled and said a polite word: "Lord Si, it can be said that this tea can be recognized by a tea tasting expert like you, which can be said to be its honor. ”

Hearing Dean Li's words, Luo Sishou smiled politely and said, "Then can I bring a pot back?" ”

Dean Li pondered for a moment and replied, "Of course there is no problem. ”

…………

At this time, the melodious bell rang again, announcing the end of the assessment.

The four people in the house all put down their pens in unison.

Shen Qiu shook his head self-deprecatingly and jumped out of his chair first. He felt that if his intuition was correct, he should be the worst of the four in this first link.

Mo Li followed behind, his haggard face showing a faint smugness; As soon as he went out, he began to look everywhere for Dean Li's traces, and seemed to be eager to get his cousin's affirmation.

Zhao Xinran's eyes revealed a little regret, but he quickly regained his calm.

She wasn't surprised to find that she had forgotten a lot of the basics of the art of runes.

Maybe in this link, she will be pulled away by her opponent some distance.

However, she believes that in terms of "application" and "innovation" of the runes, she will definitely be able to recover these gaps, and even leave her opponents far behind.

Gu Xu was the last to walk out of the house.

The expression on his face when he went out was exactly the same as when he walked in.

There was no pride, no sadness.

It's all under his control.

He's just playing normally.

…………

Before the second session began, they had half an hour to spare.

So they each went to a nearby side house to rest quietly and recuperate.

The Great Qi National Master waved his hand lightly and took back the magical paper they had just written.

"Shen Qiu's kid looks very smart, but I didn't expect that the basic skills are not very good!" The national teacher glanced at the number "seventy-two" in the upper right corner of Shen Qiu's answer sheet, smiled and said, "I actually only got seventy-two questions right." ”

Hearing the words of the national teacher, Fu Tao, a teacher at Longmen Academy, immediately said beside him: "To learn the art of talisman seals, it is important to be down-to-earth, and it is absolutely impossible to be clever and imaginative. I don't want the students of Longmen Academy to be caught up in this ethos. ”

Fu Tao, as Dean Li's cronies, naturally supported Mo Li.

So in such a situation, he immediately attributed Shen Qiu's low score on the answer sheet to a problem with his attitude.

However, the national teacher was not taken away by his words, but smiled and explained to Shen Qiu: "This kid has not had a good time in his family, he doesn't even have a serious teacher, he is self-taught by collecting books...... If you want someone to help answer your questions, you have to travel a long way with gifts.

"His unsatisfactory performance in this link does not mean that he is a clever person, but there are many objective reasons. If he had been given sufficient resources, I believe he would not have been worse than others.

"I think that since we are selecting talents for the country, we should give them ample opportunities and fairly refer to the performance in each link.

"Don't judge other people's character because of your own selfishness."

Hearing the word "selfishness", Fu Tao was immediately silenced. He knew that the national teacher had seen through his mind.

[It's almost a little bit too late to finish writing at 12:00, send it out first, and everyone will come back a few minutes later.] 】
