Chapter 45: A Sky Full of Stars

The children were all stunned, except for Qin Mo.

Qin Mo had full confidence on his face, although he didn't dare to speak and was proficient in Wei Bei style, but at least he had studied it systematically, and he had also practiced for a while, plus he listened carefully when the university scholar gave a lecture just now, and he gained a lot of feelings, and now it is not a problem to write.

As the words of the scholar fell, the scholars who were originally sitting upright got up one after another, holding pen, ink, paper, inkstone and other things in their hands, and stood in front of Tong Sheng in a one-on-one manner.

In addition to giving the children the four treasures of the study, they are also responsible for the invigilation task, and the children are not allowed to look around in the process of answering the paper to prevent plagiarism.

As a result, the children were full of bitterness and regretted that they had not listened carefully just now.

Although Wei Bei is different from the regular letter, there is a saying called touch bypass, everyone is a person who has been practicing calligraphy for several years, even if they have not learned, as long as they know its characteristics, it is not difficult to write it.

So strictly speaking, the test questions at this level are not difficult, but they are just used by university scholars.

Standing beside Qin Mo was a familiar face, the one who served as the commander of the triangle array on the upper floor.

He stood at the desk with an expressionless face, estimating that he didn't remember Qin Mo at all.

Qin Mo picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, took a deep breath and began to write, because the scholar had demonstrated the first four words of the sentence, and he remembered it deeply, so the first four words were written exactly the same as Fan Wen.

Because he was the only one who started writing, the scholar's eyes were attracted, and when he saw these four words, the scholar couldn't help frowning.

You must know that at this time, more than half an hour has passed since the university scholar wrote the model text, and it is still fresh in the memory after such a long time, and it is not bad to write it at one time, ordinary people can't do it anyway.

The other children had to bite the bullet and start writing, and then the scholar turned his attention to others.

Qin Mo sensed that there had been a change in the Wen Palace, but because he was in a state of writing and had to keep his energy concentrating, he decided to finish the work first and then check it out.

Heaven and earth are yellow, and the universe is desolate.

These are the first two sentences of "Thousand Character Essays", he writes every stroke very standardly, and he can't find fault with the glyphs.

Looking at other people, most of them can't even write the first four words well, even if they are barely written from memory, when they reach the second sentence, they immediately show their feet, and they become neither like Wei Bei nor like block letters.

The sun and the moon are shining, and the sun and moon are shining.

Qin Mo successfully wrote the last two sentences, and he couldn't find fault with the glyphs and penmanship.

Qin Mo put down the brush and said with a straight face: "University scholar, students submit papers." ”

The old boys raised their heads one after another, and when they saw that it was Qin Mo shouting to hand in the papers, the jealousy in their hearts was even stronger, it was already a rare situation for a new boy to be able to ascend to the fifth floor of the Holy Tower for the first time, he was not stumped by the test questions, and it seemed that he was very hopeful of ascending to the sixth floor.

The scholar nodded slightly, and the priest standing next to the desk reached out to pick up the test paper, walked to the side of the podium, and respectfully placed it in front of the scholar.

The scholar glanced down at it, a hint of relief flashed in his eyes, but his expression did not change in any way, and he said: "This volume is qualified, the writer has passed, and he can go to the next level." ”

The words fell, and the ladder broke through the ground in the courtyard outside the window, reaching the sky.

Qin Mo clasped his fists and saluted the scholar and said, "The student thanked the scholar." ”

The scholar waved his hand, Qin Mo walked out of the school, climbed the ladder and disappeared into the envious gaze of the children.

A dazzling white light flashed in front of him, Qin Mo closed his eyes, the sound of whirring wind sounded in his ears, and after a while, everything became silent.

He slowly opened his eyes and found himself standing under the night sky, a plain as far as the eye could see, with no trees or mountains, and all around him was pitch black, and he became one with the deep sky.

There was nothing but the blinking stars in the sky and the flat stone at his feet.

If it comes, it will be safe.

Since he was tested, the soldiers came to block the water and cover the earth, in this state of mind, he sat on the stone and looked inside the Wen Palace first.

The Star of the Holy Path had already hidden itself, and upon inspection, it was discovered that the [Unforgettable] Cyclone had been upgraded, from a beginner cyclone to an intermediate level, and along with other cyclones and stars, it revolved around the Star of the Throne.

It must have been written out of the four-character model just now, causing the [unforgettable] cyclone to escalate.

The corners of his mouth involuntarily rose, and his heart was really full of surprises in the Holy Tower, and he would get something at any time.

Facts have once again proved that the competition for places is correct, even if it offends the Zhang family in Nanjing Prefecture because of this, it is worth the money.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that the aura around him had become richer, more obvious than the usual use of the Western Chu Overlord Seal, and he hurriedly looked around, and there was no change in his sight.

The aura was still increasing rapidly, and he raised his head again to look at the sky, and the stars in the sky were dark and merged with the star map on the first layer of shadow wall, and there was nothing abnormal.

He tried to absorb the aura, and found that it was more refined and effortless to absorb.

Since it was something that didn't cost money, he naturally didn't need to be polite, he sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and entered the state of emptiness, in this state, the absorption rate was several times faster than usual.

The endless aura formed a translucent vortex above his head, and the scene was extremely spectacular.

Tokyo Bianliang, Taixue.

In the courtyard surrounded by four palaces, the sacred stone of the inscription shines with colorful light.

In the main hall of calligraphy, the lifters sitting cross-legged opened their eyes one after another, and they stood up and moved their bodies, whispering about the children who participated in the enlightenment this time.

Their task has been completed, in the fourth and fifth layers of the test, there are countless old children who have cleared the level, although the test questions are difficult, but it is not difficult for this gang of old fritters who have come three or four times.

Very few new children have passed the fourth layer, and only one person can successfully enter the sixth layer, and that is Qin Mo from the Wendao College of Xiayi County, Nanjing.

The scholar walked to the scholar's side, bowed down and said, "My lord, it has been found out, Qin Mo is a double-class child student in the county examination of Xiayi County, and this person has participated in the county examination seven times before, but he has failed. ”

The scholar frowned, and said with suspicion: "How can a person who fails the seven tests become a double armor?"

The scholar explained: "According to the explanation of the county academy of literature and literature, Qin Mo accidentally obtained a new writing method, called folding pen, because this technique had not appeared before, and it had not been recognized by the Wenwei stone, so there was a result of seven failed attempts. In fact, he is an extremely smart person, and the county commander Xu Hao was reminded by him to gain enlightenment, learn the method of folding the pen, and then obtain the literary position of Hanlin before the test. ”

The scholar suddenly realized, and said with emphasis: "To let a scholar become a pre-exam Hanlin shows that his method of folding the pen is not trivial, and it also shows that this son is extraordinary, since this is the case, it is necessary for this scholar to supervise his examination process." Go and let them all disperse, and no one is allowed to disturb them, understand?"

"Understood. The scholar nodded.

The scholars re-entered the state of emptiness, and the lifters were quickly evacuated and left as required.

In the Starry Tower, a quarter of an hour had passed, Qin Mo had absorbed a large amount of spiritual power for his own use, and there was a vibrant scene in the Wen Palace.

He opened his eyes slowly, and if it was in the grove next to the Listening Spring Cottage, he would not hesitate to continue absorbing it, reason telling him that while there were many advantages to doing so, the disadvantages were just as obvious - he could not pass the test.

Being in the Holy Land of Enlightenment, you must take passing the test as the highest requirement, and you must not be satisfied with the status quo in front of you, so as not to put the cart before the horse.

There was still no change in the surroundings, he looked up at the sky again, combined with the experience of the first layer, could it be that this pass was related to the star map?

But a pair of star maps is used twice, which seems to be a bit unreasonable.

In line with the view that there is a beginning and an end, the beginning can also be the end, and this view can be explained.

He turned to the right to correspond to the starry sky with a star map, but this time it didn't work, and it turned out that the method of passing the first level would not work.

As a man with a modern soul, his concept of the starry sky is different from that of the ancients, and his astronomical knowledge is enough to make him develop all kinds of associations.

The first thing that came to mind was the brightness rating of the stars, which the Greeks had divided into six grades according to their brightness as early as the second century BC, and later astronomers made stricter grading rules on this basis.

In fact, in Qin Mo's previous life, because of serious environmental pollution, it was difficult to see stars below the second rank in the city.

Now it was the unpolluted Great Song Dynasty, and even the fifth-magnitude stars could be seen clearly, and he suddenly remembered the lines on the star map, and thought to himself that if the nearest first-magnitude stars were connected with lines, would they form words or patterns?

It's a child's game, and adults are supposed to dismiss it.

But since Qin Mo had never seen such a bright starry sky in his previous life, he decided to play it to make up for the regrets of his previous life.

The ancients used to write from right to left, and he first looked to the right, which had seventeen first-magnitude stars, eight of which formed a fluttering ribbon shape, and the other nine were arranged irregularly.

He connected the stars in short lines from top to bottom, and kept changing the way they were connected, and after a few moments, the word "head" appeared.

He frowned, and added a "streamer" to the left and below the word "head", "streamer" is equivalent to walking aside, isn't that the word "Tao"!

Raising his head suddenly, his eyes looked at the starry sky without blinking, and a shining word "Dao" jumped into the starry sky.

He turned his gaze slightly to the left, and this time he saw seven first-magnitude stars, four of which formed horizontal and vertical strokes, somewhat like the strokes of seal characters, with the second half of the vertical stroke slightly bent to the left.

Then there is a triangle of three first-magnitude stars, located in the space formed by horizontal folds and vertical folds.

Although the triangle is different from the character "kou" composed of four sides, when combined with the strokes next to it, it is obviously a "ke" character.

What does the word "Tao" and the word "Ke" mean?

He had an idea in his mind, but he couldn't be sure because of the lack of evidence.

In order to prove this idea, he turned his gaze again, this time it was a chaotic starry sky, with nearly thirty first-magnitude stars, and it was not so easy to connect them all in one word.

PS: Lao Mo also knows that this is very chatty, but the new book needs support, so he can only be cheeky and ask for recommendation votes and collections.
