After handing in the papers, Qin Mo returned to his position.

His behavior of handing in the papers caused a lot of pressure on other children, although everyone knew that there was plenty of time, but they still couldn't help but feel impatient.

He Chang glanced at each other with the court judge and the court supervisor, and the three of them calmed down their emotions and focused on the invigilation instead of Qin Mo's test paper.

A quarter of an hour later, the children handed in their papers one after another, and finally no one ran out of time.

But most people are not satisfied with their answers, and sigh together, regretting that they did not think carefully before writing, so that there were omissions.

Several bigwigs judged the papers on the spot, and the judging criteria were divided into five grades, namely poor, qualified, good, semi-excellent and excellent.

If you do not make significant progress in the next monthly exam, you will be expelled from the academy directly, which is an extremely serious punishment.

Within a few moments, six papers were judged to be unqualified.

Gu Meng raised his eyebrows, to be honest, mainly because the test questions were too difficult, even if the pass rate was only fifty percent, it was very good.

He Chang deliberately increased the difficulty, just to give the children a disadvantage, so that they could realize that they should not relax in the slightest when they entered the academy, and they had to work harder than before they were admitted to the school.

After the tea, the first round of judging was completed, with a total of 12 papers judged to be unqualified, and 13 papers entered the second round of judging.

Six papers were judged to be passable, three were good, and the remaining four were rated as semi-excellent, from which the merit papers were selected.

As with the rules of the county exam, there can only be one paper for the best grades.

Originally, Xu Chengzhi didn't have much hope for his results, but of course, after seeing that his test paper was rated as semi-excellent, the heart that had finally calmed down began to move again.

He felt that Qin Mo could cause such a reaction when he handed over the paper, it was nothing more than because of the short time it took, and as for the content, it would definitely not be too good.

If you want to hurry, you can't reach it, this sentence is an absolute truth.

He Chang turned his head to look at Gu Meng and said, "Dr. Gu, you can also take a look." ”

This is to invite him to judge the file together, Gu Meng shook his head: "As the teacher of the children's class, I want to avoid suspicion." ”

"Dr. Gu has a high personality and admires his studies. He Chang praised him and refocused on the test paper.

The four test papers were laid out on the table side by side, and the court judge was the first to express his opinion, saying: "I think the fourth one is good, the pen is strong and does not lose the change, and the seven 'phase' characters have different forms, but they have similar connections, and they do not seem abrupt." The five 'Si' characters are also handled very well, and two of them use the meaning of calligraphy, which adds a touch of spirituality to the whole work. ”

It is common sense in calligraphy that repeated words cannot appear in the same way, but many candidates only pay attention to this point and ignore the more important point, which is the integrity of the work.

All candidates were able to achieve seven different "phase" characters, but the patchwork was very obvious, resulting in some characters appearing out of place and unable to be integrated into the whole work.

The fourth is Qin Mo's test paper, he writes in willow script throughout, strictly following the brushwork of willow style, but borrowing the glyphs of Ou, Yan, and Zhao, so it can achieve the effect of rigor without losing change.

Looking at the other three, only one could barely achieve this effect, and if it weren't for Qin Mo's scroll, it would have become the leader.

The so-called not afraid of not knowing the goods, afraid of comparing goods, this is what it means.

The superintendent said: "I also think that the fourth one is slightly better, in fact, the second one is also good, but in comparison...... Much worse. ”

The second scroll was Xu Chengzhi's, and hearing such a judgment, his face turned red at an extremely fast speed.

In fact, his handwriting is still very good, but it's a pity that it is put together with a better one, which was originally to be praised, but it turned out to be derogatory.

He Chang nodded, and said: "Ben Xuezheng also thinks so, then the fourth one is all excellent, and the other three are half excellent." ”

The supervisor picked up the transcript and recorded it while reading: "Qin Mo, excellent, Xu Chengzhi, semi-excellent......"

At the end of the two exams, Qin Mo ranked first with double excellences, and he was in the limelight for a while, and his classmates congratulated him one after another.

He Chang took the long brocade box from the supervisor of the hospital, and said to Qin Mo with a smile: "This is a reward for the first place in the monthly examination, I hope you will make persistent efforts in the future, achieve better results, and add glory to our Xiayi County Wendao College." ”

"Thank you, Master Xuezheng. He took the box with both hands and opened the lid.

The nearest boy immediately exclaimed: "Three millimeters of Qiankun pen!"

Qin Mo was also taken aback, as a scribe of calligraphy, he knew very well the value of this pen - one hundred and twenty yuan, which was equivalent to one hundred and twenty taels of silver.

Such an expensive pen, when he visited Wenbaozhai a few times ago, he could only take a look at it from a distance, even if he sold poems to get two hundred taels of silver, he only bought a Zizhu Spring and Autumn pen with a price of thirty taels, and his flesh hurt for a while.

The pen is made of good bamboo, with two small pinholes, which can store a certain amount of ink, and hold the two pinholes with your fingers, and the ink can flow to the pen on its own.

Fenghao is composed of three kinds of fine hairs: purple hair, wolf hair and sheep hair, which can play a role in increasing literary power.

He Chang said with a smile: "The results of double excellence deserve this kind of reward." ”

Qin Mo thanked him again, He Chang said a few words of encouragement to everyone, and then left with the group.

It was close to noon, and Gu Meng said: "Let's stop here today, tomorrow is closed, everyone can leave the academy by themselves, reflect on today's exam, and don't be late the day after tomorrow." Qin Mo, come with me. ”

"Yes. Qin Mo followed Gu Meng out of the school.

Xu Chengzhi noticed a few sneering glances coming, and the resentment in his heart multiplied.

This situation is completely his own doing, a few days ago, he said in front of everyone more than once that he would definitely be able to defeat Qin Mo in the monthly exam and get a reward.

It was slapped in the face, and it was very thorough.

As the resentment in his heart increased, he gritted his teeth and said to himself: "Qin Mo, you wait, since I can't surpass you in the book, then I can only destroy you, otherwise I don't want to have a bright future." ”

......

After eating lunch, Gu Meng took Qin Mo and headed towards Yunfeng Peak.

"Are we going to the Chess Branch?" he asked.

Gu Meng drank alcohol, but did not overdo it, raised his eyebrows and said: "Yes, the monthly exam is over, and you won the first place, which means that your foundation in calligraphy is quite solid, and you can get in touch with some introductory knowledge of chess." ”

Qin Mo immediately said again: "But are there still people in the Qidao Branch, they should leave tomorrow." ”

Gu Meng burped and said, "Most of the teachings will stay in the academy during the break to study the next stage of teaching regulations, if it weren't for my lack of teaching experience in chess, I would have started teaching you a long time ago." ”

He is self-taught, although he has achieved good results, but he has also gone through a lot of detours and suffered a lot, in order to avoid this from happening to Qin Mo, he decided to ask the teacher of the Qidao branch to enlighten on his behalf, which is more secure.

In the process of climbing the mountain, Qin Mo made a casual look and said, "Everyone is talking about the Star of the Holy Dao these days, what do you think about this matter?"

The handsome old man sighed and said: "I don't think it is possible for the Holy Dao Star to be killed so easily, it is rumored that it is a star alongside Wenqu Star and Wuqu Star, and has the ability to predict the future, since this is the case, how can it be born into a young child who is about to die?"

Qin Mo's heart involuntarily beat faster, and he asked again, "Have you told others about this statement?"

The handsome old man said angrily: "I said it, but they don't believe it, and they all think that the Star of the Holy Way is dead." It is said that the emperor was furious about this, swore that he was inseparable from the Liao, and had sent an envoy to contact the Jin, wanting to unite the north and south of the Jin to attack the Liao. ”

Qin Mo's heart fell to the ground, the only thing he didn't expect was that because of his appearance, he promoted the diplomatic relations between the Great Song Dynasty and Dajin, and the two sides hit it off and prepared to attack Da Liao.

Two quarters of an hour later, they came to the top of Izumo Peak.

Compared with the calligraphy branch at the foot of the mountain, the chess branch is full of local tyrants, several elegantly shaped buildings are connected together, coupled with the condescending environment, which makes people involuntarily give birth to a lot of pride.

Gu Meng took him straight into a courtyard on the east side, which was planted with various flowers and trees, and it was spring, and the flowers were blooming vigorously.

"Hello Dr. Ku. A student dressed in a talent uniform saluted Gu Meng.

Gu Meng nodded, it was a return gift.

Walking through the flower-scented path, the two came to the second courtyard.

The courtyard is covered with blue bricks, and there is a long flower bed on each side, and the red azaleas are blooming.

In front of the flower bed sat a middle-aged man, three feet apart, the people on the east side wore blue robes, and the people on the west side wore white robes.

Swish!

The blue-robed man flipped his right hand, and the chess pieces in his palm shone brightly, quickly forming a soldier in armor, who was strong and strong, holding a spear majestic.

The white-robed man smiled slightly, showing the chess pieces in his right hand, and the light also turned into a soldier in armor, holding a double axe with a bearded face.

The two soldiers moved at the same time, brandishing their weapons and fighting in one place, although they were illusory, but the feet in combat boots stepped on the ground, making the same sound as ordinary people walking, and the sound of metal intersecting when the weapons collided.

Gu Meng didn't speak, Qin Mo stared at the soldiers in the fight, this was the first time he saw the competition between chess scribes, he thought that the calligraphy was already very good, but he didn't expect the chess path to be more exciting.

Although he can now transform three chariots with [Single Word as a Soldier], he can only meet the requirements of impact, and the soldiers on the chariots are no different from the decorations, unlike the soldiers conjured up by these two with chess pieces, who fight so fiercely.

After five turns, the white-robed man's double-axe men gained the upper hand, and the blue-robed man's pikemen retreated.

The blue-robed man was not in a hurry, and entered the new literary power into the chess pieces, the pikemen roared, the armor showed animalistic characteristics, the tiger pattern on the chest turned into a raised relief, the grin was extremely hideous, and the shoulder pads also became the shape of a tiger's head with a large mouth open.

What's even more strange is the pikeman himself, whose face also appears to be beastial, with four fangs emerging from the corners of his mouth, and a pair of eyes that are like copper bells.

It held a spear in both hands and slashed Tarzan with a single move, the barrel of which whined against the air.

The Twin Axemen hurriedly raised their axes and crossed them together to block.

While!

With a loud bang, the two axes burst open a gap the size of an egg at the same time, and the double axe soldier fell backwards uncontrollably, disappearing five or six feet away from his master.

The chess pieces in the hands of the white-robed man also lost their luster, and he said with a smile: "Sect Lin is really powerful, and I am willing to bow down." ”

The blue-robed man withdrew his literary power, and the beastly pikeman disappeared immediately, and he said in a modest tone: "Sect Sun is polite, I am nothing more than relying on the power of the newly acquired Tiger Bone Chess, and I am not your opponent in terms of strength." ”

Gu Meng looked at Qin Mo, who was still in a state of shock, and said word by word: "See clearly, this is the way of chess." ”
