In the middle of the night, the carriage headed in the direction of the county school.

Qin Mo had a satisfied smile on his face, but Gu Meng was very unhappy, as a clean person, he was actually pulled to participate in gambling, which made him feel very shameless.

There is no way, who makes visiting the Qinglou in this era an elegant thing, especially for literati and scribes, not only is it not as spurned as later generations, but it is respected by scholars and doctors.

"Tell me about Shen Yun's situation. Qin Mo opened his mouth and broke the peace in the car with these words.

Gu Meng picked his eyelids and said, "I thought you wouldn't ask, I might as well tell you the truth, Shen Yun is the No. 1 ranked old boy in the Chess Dao Branch, in fact, before last year's college exam, he was already a pre-test talent." As for why I didn't take the college exam that year, I don't need to explain, right?"

Qin Mo nodded and said, "I know, he wants to extend the cultivation time, strive to win the first place in the academy examination, and obtain the title of trial teacher." ”

"That's right. Gu Meng shrugged his shoulders and said, "Dr. Ben didn't agree with this practice from beginning to end, first of all, because it was too difficult to get the test, not ordinarily large. ”

Like the prefectural examination, the imperial examination is also conducted in the state capital of a place, seven or eight counties under its jurisdiction, plus a prefecture city, there are thousands of people participating in the examination, even if it is evenly divided into four subjects, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, at least thousands of people are competing for the title of the only test, and the difficulty can be imagined.

"Secondly, wasting such a long time in one position is completely more than worth the loss for a status scribe who needs to progress quickly. "Gu Meng Zhengse said.

In his opinion, young people should seize the time to cultivate and upgrade, and as long as there is an opportunity to upgrade, they must not miss it.

Just like Shen Yun, for the sake of a false name, he did not hesitate to spend a year in exchange, even if he got what he wanted in the end, it was a little more than worth the loss.

If he is willing to participate in last year's college examination, no matter how good or bad his results are, he can always be promoted to Xiucai, and then he can take part in the township examination of that year by the way, laying a good foundation for taking the township examination again this year, and maybe he will be able to pass the examination.

But as for the current result, he is still a child, but he is only among the best in Xiayi County Wendao College, and in the face of the leaders of other counties and prefectures, the chances of passing the examination are not great.

Wasting a year on an uncertain goal is a loss-making business.

Qin Mo frowned slightly, and said, "In this way, Shen Yun is difficult to deal with, is it?"

"That's right, after all, he has participated in three battles in the Four Academies and has a lot more experience than you. Gu Meng continued: "Also, Shen Yun was born in a large family, and his second grandfather was a jinshi during the reign of Renzong Jiayou, and he obtained the pre-test Hanlin civil degree before his death. The Shen family attaches great importance to the education of the children in the clan, and later there were several lifters one after another, and Shen Yun's father was a lifter, serving as the county assistant in the county government. ”

The Shen family has high hopes for Shen Yun, and has gathered all kinds of resources in him, and he has the style to train him to become a talent.

With a good family background and high-quality education, Shen Yun is like a fish in water in Wendao cultivation, and sits firmly in the top spot of the children's class of the Qidao Branch.

Gu Meng said: "However, Shen Yun's biggest shortcoming is that he is more than stable and lacks vitality, that is, this person is too old and serious, and he seeks stability in everything, and he can attack fiercely, but he chooses to fight steadily, thus losing a lot of opportunities." ”

Qin Mo smiled and said, "I'm better than him at this point. ”

Indeed, Qin Mo's biggest advantage is his judgment, he will never be impetuous, he will never hesitate when he should rush, and he is good at seizing fleeting opportunities.

He said again: "In this way, with Shen Yun's character, he shouldn't be bought by those guys who are not right-hearted. ”

Gu Meng shook his head and said, "Not necessarily! In order to achieve a more stable result, and in order to stabilize the other party, he may agree." Of course, this is just my personal speculation, maybe not. ”

Qin Mo has a bottom in his heart, no matter whether the other party is in cahoots with the gang of people in the Qindao Branch, tomorrow is not the final, so there is no need to worry about anything.

A quarter of an hour later, the carriage stopped outside the cottage.

Qin Mo stretched his waist and said, "It's okay to go out for a trip, to avoid the people from the Qidao branch coming to spy on the news, we can get straight to the point and start today's lesson." ”

Gu Meng looked up at the sky and said, "It's not early, today I will only teach you one skill, whether you learn it or not, you must rest after an hour to ensure a good mental state tomorrow." You can skip the class tomorrow morning and use it for the final exercise. ”

"Understood. ”

An hour later, Gu Meng left.

Qin Mo did not go to bed to rest as agreed, but took the ancient seal of the Overlord of Western Chu to the grove, and after completing the spirit gathering, it took nearly half an hour to absorb all these spiritual qi.

......

The sun is shining, sweeping away yesterday's rainy weather.

In order not to miss a single moment, the arena has been reduced from four to one, and there are two matches today to determine the final list for tomorrow.

In the first scene, Ma Zhong of the piano road was strict about the painting.

Qin Mo and Gu Meng sat very close to the arena and watched the battle, no matter who of the two wins, they will be his opponents in the final, so it is necessary to observe carefully.

At the beginning of the game, the two launched a fierce attack and won the audience's loud applause.

Ma Zhong uses a combination of bamboo flute and war drums, which are originally two instruments that are incompatible, but in his hands they are turned into offensive weapons, especially war drums, which play a breathtaking role every time they are struck.

Looking at Yan Shu again, there were two sets of paintbrushes in front of him, and he splashed ink to form complex patterns on the paper, and the attack methods were endless.

The two played a stick of incense for a long time, and Ma Zhong finally overcame Yan Shu with his war drums and became the first player to advance to the finals.

With an unconvinced look on his face, Yan Shu hugged his fist at the referee and turned to burrow into the crowd.

Ma Zhong looked at Qin Mo with a smug face and a provocative look.

Gu Meng smiled and said, "How many times is this?"

Qin Mo shook his head and said, "I don't know, I didn't offend him, why did he always target me?"

"The first child in the world, what a resounding name. Gu Meng said in a very meaningful tone: "Everyone dreams of trampling you under their feet, and Ma Zhong is of course no exception. ”

Qin Mo said helplessly: "Our emperor is really unreliable, he gave me such a title, now it's okay, I have become the public enemy of the whole world, and everyone wants to come and step on it." ”

Gu Meng smiled and shook his head, no longer speaking.

In the second game, two books of the same shape were carried into the field, placed ten feet apart, and then the players from both sides entered the field.

Qin Mo's stationery is the same as the previous games, a purple bamboo spring and autumn pen, a three-milli Qiankun pen, plus a pair of self-made bull bone fighting beast chess, and an ancient seal hanging on his waist.

Looking at his opponent Shen Yun again, he put one pair of chess and one pair of Go on the table.

The two chess sets shone in the sun, and if you look closely, there is a faint spiritual power around, indicating that these two chess sets are above medium cultural treasures.

The chess pieces seem to be unpretentious, but they are actually carved from dragon bones, and the chess warriors conjured up have obvious characteristics of ancient beasts.

The so-called dragon bones are actually dinosaurs in ancient times, whose bones were buried underground for tens of thousands of years and turned into fossils, which were accidentally discovered and made into chess sets.

Go is made of Hetian ink jade and mutton fat white jade, the upper part of the chess piece is a convex arc shape, the lower part is a circular plane, the diameter is only half an inch, and the portrait of the ancient famous general is carved with micro, which is extremely fine.

In other words, when Shen Yun used this chess piece, the chess warrior he conjured was not an ordinary soldier, but a fierce general.

The total number of blacks and whites in Go is three hundred and sixty-one, corresponding to three hundred and sixty-one generals, although he cannot be transformed at the same time with his child's position, but only ten or eight are conjured, which is enough for the opponent to drink a pot.

There is an unwritten rule in the tournament that a gentleman's agreement cannot be used to force the opponent to give up bringing his own equipment, and if the opponent has brought several kinds of equipment, at least one must be left for others to use.

Qin Mo frowned slightly, Shen Yun came prepared, whether it was chess or Go, as long as he could leave one, it would be enough for him.

Shen Yun took a step forward and said, "Please ask the Qin case to make a request first." ”

"No duplicate content. Qin Mo said indifferently.

Shen Yun frowned slightly, he thought that Qin Mo would make the same request as the previous one.

Gu Meng smiled and said to the students around him: "Learn a little, being mean can make the opponent crazy, and indulgence can also cause trouble to the opponent." ”

Sun Yi and Ma Chongming glanced at each other, and their faces showed shame at the same time, and Sun Yi said, "The student doesn't understand, and I hope the doctor will teach you." ”

"When two sets of high-quality appliances are used together, it is easy to have problems when they are connected to each other, and it is naturally more convenient to use than a set. Gu Meng explained.

The two suddenly realized that they were taught.

Shen Yun took a deep breath and said, "My request is that you can't use Shuangwen Dao. ”

The way of chess is unfathomable, and Qin Mo, as the founder of a new chess set, is inevitably intimidating, so he will make such a request.

In fact, it is an indisputable fact that when Qin Mo used the chess set, the speed of transforming the beast was faster than that of the chess scribe.

For such a request, Qin Mo behaved very indifferently, picked up the beast chess and threw it to the classmates who were watching the battle behind.

The referee gave the order: "The game is on!"

Qin Mo opened the bow left and right, dipped the ink with two pens at the same time, the movement was relaxed and smooth, and the pen strokes fell on the paper together and began to write.

Shen Yun picked up three chess pieces with the four fingers of his right hand, two pawns and one horse.

The speed of the Chess Dao scribe transforming the chess warrior is the fastest among the four realms, but the transformation does not mean that you can attack immediately, you must first complete the arrangement of troops, and in this process, the other three realms can calmly complete the summoning.

The three chess pieces in Shen Yun's hand shone slightly, and a combination of a cavalry and two infantry immediately appeared in front of the bookcase, and they had already completed three different formation combinations before they had turned from an illusory state to an entity.

The audience was in an uproar, and some people exclaimed: "This is the supreme [star-studded] skill of the chess scribe, and it was mastered by a pre-test show, no wonder Shen Yun is determined to win the first place in this year's academy test, and it seems that he can't run away." ”
