In the early morning, facing the morning glow.

A two-horse flying cart faded away, turning into a small black dot until it disappeared from everyone's sight.

A moment ago, Xu Hao drove a flying car to pick up He Chang, and the two rushed to Bianliang, Tokyo, together, and everyone in the academy came forward to see them off.

During the time He Chang left, the management of the county school was handed over to the superintendent and the court judge, and there was originally Gu Meng's share, because he wanted to retake the Wendao imperial examination, but he really couldn't spare time, so the three-person team became two.

Including the annual four-court competition, the two of them are also in charge, and in previous years, He Chang arranged it single-handedly.

The competition between the four academies is one of the largest competitions of Xiayi County Wendao College, aiming to discover and cultivate talents, and the contestants are selected from the old children who have passed the government examination, and four players from each of the four branches compete against each other.

The competition adopts a point system, with the team with the most points being the champion and the individual champion being the individual champion.

At the end of the competition, the four branches chose their favorite areas according to their rankings as their teaching places.

Over the years, the Qindao branch has been ranked first, so they are able to stay in Youlan Valley, which has the best environment.

Chess and painting are not up or down in terms of strength, or second place, sometimes the chess branch is at the top of Iriyun Peak, and sometimes the drawing branch is at the top of the mountain.

The book is at the end of the line, and can only succumb to the foot of the mountain with the worst conditions.

The superintendent said: "You can go back, the qualifiers for the battle of the four academies will start tomorrow, and each branch needs to determine the contestants within one day, and the official competition will start the day after tomorrow, do you understand?"

"Understood. The crowd responded.

"Let's disperse. ”

Everyone dispersed, and Qin Mo followed Gu Meng to the branch of calligraphy.

Yesterday at the banquet, Gu Meng proposed to transfer to the old children's class to teach, and He Chang readily agreed.

The reason why he did this was because Qin Mo had already left the new children's class and became a member of the old children's class.

Before, he was transferred from the Xiucai class to the children's class for Qin Mo, and now he has been transferred to the old children's class, and the love of protecting the calves is very obvious.

The old boys mentioned here refer to the children who have passed the government examination, and their next task is to prepare for the college examination and attack the Xiucai position.

There is also a type of old children, which refers to new children who have been in school for a year, and their first priority is to take the government examination.

Qin Mo won the title of the head of the government examination as a new child, leaving a group of old children behind, and obtained the qualification to participate in the battle of the four courts, which made them envious.

After Qin Mo sat down, Gu Meng said to the forty-one students in a full voice: "The annual competition of the four academies is about to begin, first of all, four contestants must be selected, each student can sign up, we adopt a fair competition method. ”

A child stood up and said confidently, "Dr. Gu, students sign up." ”

"Student sign up!" another child followed.

"Students need to sign up too!"

In the end, the number of applicants totaled thirty-two, that is to say, only nine people were unwilling to participate, indicating that everyone's enthusiasm was very high, and they did not lose their fighting spirit because of the last row of the Calligraphy Branch.

Gu Meng was very happy, and said with a smile: "Okay, then we will start the selection now, and please follow Dr. Ben to the practice ground." ”

Among the 32 people, there are only two pre-trial shows, and they are seeded players for the branch.

In order to avoid the seeded players meeting in the knockout round, Gu Meng decided to use the method of group battle, divided into four groups: A, B, C, and D, and the first place in each group became the contestant.

He assigned the two seeded players to Group A and Group B, put Qin Mo in Group D, and the rest of the players used a draw to determine the group.

There is no opinion on such an arrangement.

Qin Mo once defeated Xu Chengye, a pre-test talent in the Qindao Branch, which is enough to show that his strength is no less than that of the pre-test Xiucai, and in the head of the middle and high school cases in the government examination, he won the title of "the first child in the world" written by the emperor, although Gu Meng did not emphasize anything, but everyone has tacitly positioned it as a seed player.

After the group was divided, the first round of the competition officially began.

Qin Mo's first opponent is named Sun Yi, a relatively old child, he spent three years to take the Zhongfu examination, and then failed to participate in the college examination for two consecutive years, and stayed in the county school for five years.

The two of them stood ten feet apart, with a bookcase and the four treasures of the study room in front of them, which was the most commonly used distance for old children to fight, and it was farther than that of new children.

Sun Yi clenched his fists and said with full anger: "Please mention the gentleman's agreement first in the Qin case." ”

Qin Mo returned the salute and said, "Then don't write repetitive words, senior, please." ”

Sun Yi said without thinking: "You can't use what the other party has written." ”

Since it was a competition between classmates, there was no need for a referee, and after the players were all ready, Gu Meng announced loudly: "The game begins!"

Sun Yi used [ligature] to choose the word "Ge Sao" that he was best at, and the line writing method he used.

"Ge" and "sweep" are both words in [single word for soldiers], sweep is pictogram, Ge is a weapon, the two words are combined, and the power is increased by more than three times.

There are fewer strokes in Gezi, Sun Yi wrote quickly, and the sweeping words are more complicated, but he writes very calmly and does not show any nervousness.

It is also an old boy like him who can be unhurried in the face of Qin Mo, and if he is a person with less than three years of school age, he will basically be frightened by the name of "the first child in the world", and he can't help but get nervous.

Looking at Qin Mo again, he used [Single Word for Soldiers], not [Ligatures into Soldiers] that old children preferred.

[Single Word for Soldier] is indeed inferior to the latter in terms of attack power, but its advantage is that it can write quickly, and can attack in front of the opponent, and then master the rhythm of the battle and lead the opponent's nose.

He wrote the word "split", which also used Xingshu and adopted the Erwang penmanship.

Sun Yi's "sweep" word was just half completed, and Qin Mo completed the last stroke of the word "crack", and the handwriting flashed with light, turning into a puff of white smoke and burrowing into the ground, and then a crack appeared, extending towards the opponent's location.

The third realm of the crack can control the length, width, depth and direction of the crack.

The crack widened as it extended, reaching Sun Yi's feet in an instant, and he took a step to the side, the brush in his hand continuing to write, unaffected.

But the crack continued to widen, and the bookcase shook slightly, and it looked like it was about to fall into the crack.

And he no longer had a chance to complete the word "sweep", so he immediately shouted: "I admit defeat!"

Qin Mo put down the brush in his hand, and the crack disappeared immediately, Sun Yi let out a long breath and said: "The head of Qin's case is really extraordinary, and the contemptible people are convinced, it seems that [Single Word for Soldiers] is used well, and it is more effective than [Hyphen into Soldiers]." ”

Qin Mo smiled and arched his hand, and said: "Thanks to the seniors, it can be regarded as opportunistic in the next step, and it has the advantage of the fast writing speed of [Single Word for Soldiers]. ”

Sun Yi waved his hand and said: "The advantage of [Ligatures for Soldiers] is obvious, but everyone subjectively thinks that [Ligatures into Soldiers] is more powerful, and they forget a very important point, that is, two people with equal strength compete in a fight, and the side that attacks first is more likely to have an advantage." After this lesson, the contemptible people will reflect on it and learn from it. ”

Qin Mo arched his hand again: "The senior is open-minded, and I admire it." ”

The other games were divided into winners and losers one after another, and it was basically the same as Gu Meng expected, the stronger ones won, and the weaker ones lost.

After the tea effort, the second round officially began.

Qin Mo's opponent this time is named Ma Chongming, both of them have just been admitted to the government examination, but Ma Chongming has been enrolled in school for two years, if Qin Mo is not born, his results are enough to be proud of the county schoolchildren's class.

"Senior, please. Qin Mo said modestly.

Ma Chongming smiled and said, "Then don't write repetitive words." ”

Because it was a competition between classmates, everyone behaved very politely, and most of them chose the old three things in the gentleman's agreement.

Qin Mo immediately said: "Then don't write what the other party has written." ”

Ma Chongming nodded, and after a moment, Gu Meng ordered the game to begin.

Ma Chongming learned the lesson of Sun Yi in the last game, and he was ready to use [Single Word as a Soldier] to fight against Qin Mo, and chose the word "cow" with the fewest strokes.

Because of the lack of strokes, he used regular script, and the stroke by stroke was very neat.

Qin Mo wrote the word "shield", which was written in line style, and it was still in the style of the two kings.

Tong Sheng, who was defeated in the previous round, watched from the sidelines, Sun Yi frowned and said, "Why do you use the defensive position in the first place, his strength is obviously above Ma Chongming." ”

"Yes, even Brother Sun has been defeated, and the head of the Qin case should choose to attack. ”

Moo!

Ma Chongming's [Single Word for Soldier] turned into a six-foot-tall bully, which was the second realm of the word "ox", and the bully raised its four hooves and rushed towards Qin Mo's side.

Looking at Qin Mo again, he just finished the writing of the word "shield".

But he did not stop, and the pen fell again on the paper, and he wrote two horizontal strokes with a continuous pen, the second stroke slightly longer than the first.

Sun Yi's eyes lit up, and his tone was slightly excited: "I understand, he used [ligature] to become a soldier, it should be the word 'shield attack', I just said, knowing that the opponent's strength is not as good as his own, how can he choose to defend." ”

"However, the other party's bullock has already rushed over, can he finish writing?"

Sun Yi frowned slightly, and said seriously: "I believe he can finish writing." ”

Everyone's hearts all raised their throats, for fear that if Qin Mo was defeated, there would be one less powerful player in the Calligraphy Branch, and he would have to be thrown away by the other three branches with a big score, and there would be no future.

Gu Meng, who was standing in the distance, was also a little worried, from his point of view, Qin Mo's situation at the moment was indeed a little dangerous, if he couldn't complete the [ligature] in time, there was a great possibility of defeat.

PS: A new January, a new beginning, I wish you all a good mood, and by the way, ask for support.
