Chapter Twenty-Four: A Hundred Schools of Thought Controversy - 'Ink Test' I
The spring breeze is blowing, and the willows are new. The eight-year season of a hundred schools of thought finally kicked off in this ancient capital of Tianzi and Luoyang City.
The first scene of the controversy - 'ink test'. In the west of Luoyang City, there is an ink pond famous all over the world, the water of the pond is black, and it exudes a strong smell of ink. Legend has it that when King Wen was alive, there was a piece of treasure ink that had been stored for thousands of years, and then people threw it in this pool, so this inexhaustible ink pool was formed.
Since it is next to the ink pool, the first battle is naturally 'Xingshu'. However, it's not just a simple calligraphy. If it can't reflect the theme, then no matter how good the word is, it can't pass the judgment of the Luoyang Society.
As for this Luoyang Society, it is a literati organization established by the Seven Kingdoms in this Luoyang City. It was originally intended to be used to discuss academics, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. If this is the original intention, it is also very good. However, after all, these literati are all from different forces, and it is inevitable that they will have reservations, so they have not developed until now.
Only when these hundreds of schools of thought are close to each other will these people who eat dry rice get busy and unite. From the rules of the test questions, to the settlement of the hundreds of schools, to the various processes of contention, they are all carefully prepared and arranged by the Luoyang Society.
And this first scene, as the beginning of a hundred schools of thought, if it is too boring, it will be their dereliction of duty.
These people are smart people, and they won't lose their golden jobs so easily.
Just at this moment, when all the sons and hundreds of schools were in place, I saw that behind the ink pool, a huge roll of cloth suddenly fell, and a big character of wild grass unfolded impressively-'sword'!
In front of the underworld, with the sword as the theme?
It's ridiculous, but it's also funny!
Mr. Gu, the leader of the Luoyang Society, looked at the whole scene and smiled, today's question of his own made so many heroes in the world agitated, which made him inevitably a little proud.
With this kind of novel and out-of-the-ordinary theme, I am afraid that no scholar will be sure to be the first to come out and dedicate the law. At that time, as long as the people you arrange come out first, you will be able to set off a boom. In this way, are you still afraid that the adults of the Seven Kingdoms will not be satisfied?
Jiang is really old and spicy, and the scene is indeed as he expected, most of everyone, regardless of teachers and scholars, are frowning, thinking carefully about the word 'sword'. Many people already have ideas and are eager to try, but they dare not be the first to make a move. Mr. Gu smiled secretly, and when he saw that the time was almost up, he glanced at the person next to him.
Yu Zizhou in the corner also smiled slightly, to be honest, he also felt that just this one sword word was destined to be wonderful in this first controversy. It's just that Luoyang learned this kind of secret technique is not very comfortable.
The teacher, Huang Zhong, had already told Yu Zizhou about their consistent style, and let him sabotage it when he had the chance. Therefore, as a good student who respects his teacher, Yu Zizhou must do what his teacher instructs.
Thinking of this, Yu Zizhou gently flicked his sleeves, without a trace of hesitation, leisurely walked to the inkwell, and tore off the first roll of white cloth!
This move made everyone slightly stunned, this was just the beginning, and someone had already stepped forward. Even if it's a nursery sent by the Luoyang Society, it shouldn't be like this, right?
And the most shocking of them is the Luoyang Society itself. The leading old man stared blankly at the teenage young man, he didn't seem to be the person he had called, right?
He seems to have come from the Dragon City Academy, right?!
An uneasy, and strange feeling spread through the old man's heart. Somehow, this young man suddenly reminded him of the catastrophe star in the history of a hundred schools of thought that he had seen when he was young-Huang Zhongze.
Yu Zizhou smiled at the old man, saluted respectfully, and said, "Xiaosheng Yu Zizhou is Mr. Eleven of Longcheng Academy. β
His voice was not loud, but it spread throughout the quiet audience, and caused a rather lively discussion in it-Longcheng Academy has always been the most desirable and controversial place among all scholars.
"Childe is young and promising, please. Although the old man was beating a drum in his heart, he was still very decent on the surface, after all, the dignity of learning could not be lost.
Giving the old man a comforting smile again, Yu Zizhou ignored him and walked along the ink pool by himself. I saw that the two fingers of his right hand were together, and he slashed towards the pool of water void, his movements were very gentle, but he picked up a jet-black ink wave more than two feet high.
The ink wave danced with Yu Zizhou's fingertips, like a newborn black dragon, because he was young, he was arrogant, swimming freely in the air with his teeth and claws, completely ignoring the stunned eyes of the thousands of scholars present.
may feel that the stone he threw is still too small, so Yu Zizhou jumped up, stood at the head of the black dragon, and rode up with this spring breeze.
By the time it reached its highest point, the black dragon seemed to have exhausted all its strength and exploded into a cloud of black mist. And Yu Zizhou, who lost his mount, finally began to fall slowly.
The scattered ink mist seemed to be very unwilling, and it quickly condensed again, turning back into a bladeless giant sword, swooping down with its master! Yu Zizhou faced downward, his eyes were fixed on the white giant cloth, and the two fingers of his right hand were secretly together, and a strange sword qi surrounded his fingers, and along a specific trajectory, the ink sword was secretly cut.
When it was approaching, Yu Zizhou waved his hand suddenly, and the ink sword instantly rolled up a thunderbolt, and galloped away beyond the white cloth, stabbing diagonally down from above with a special angle.
The cracks on the blade of the sword caused the ink sword to dismember in an instant, and it turned back into several thick and thin ink marks, all of which remained on the white cloth.
Looking at it again, I saw that there were already two big words on the white cloth - 'invincible'!
Yu Zizhou fell to the ground, and although the two strands of sideburns on his forehead were a little scattered, they were soon neat again under the blowing of the slight spring breeze.
"Gentlemen, I wonder if Zizhou is lucky enough to pass the test?" Seeing those judges staring at the two big characters one by one, motionless and stunned, they waited for a long time and did not react, so Yu Zizhou fortunately asked himself.
"Well, I agreed. β
"Me too. β
The old man agreed. β
......
The judges who came back to their senses naturally had a lot of words, and just the two big words that were as sharp as a sword perfectly interpreted the theme of this time, not to mention the eye-opening techniques in the process of writing.
Yu Zizhou smiled and saluted, and then walked back gently again under the gaze of thousands of pairs of eyes in the audience. It's just that his elegant posture at this time seems so arrogant and annoying.
"Writing a word can do such a big death, I think only you can do it. Huang Zhong scolded with a smile, and was so happy by his apprentice.
"Students are just trying to throw bricks and bricks. β
"I know you kid wants to make trouble, but the bricks are too big, and you can't kill many people. β
"Why is that?"
"Stupid apprentice, just watch. β
Yu Zizhou felt that his brick was so big that he shot a large number of people, but he didn't expect the teacher to make up his mind. Although he was a little unconvinced, he waited patiently.
At first, no one dared to go on again, because Yu Zizhou's performance was so exciting, so wonderful that it knocked everyone's self-confidence. It wasn't until more than half an hour later that I saw the purple-clothed Han An stand up, walked to the second roll of white cloth, and wrote the words 'King of a Hundred Soldiers' in a plain manner.
These four words are square, generous and delicate, quite a gentleman's style, and also coincide with the theme of 'sword'. But if you put it on top of this hundred schools of thought that gather the world's elites, it still seems too ordinary.
However, these four words were passed at the first time! Because after being silent for half an hour, someone finally broke this embarrassing deadlock to the extreme. Such a person who saved the world, how could the Luoyang Society not let him pass!
With Han An taking the lead, the number of people behind him has gradually increased. It wasn't until later that everyone gradually discovered that as long as they boldly went up, it seemed that they could pass. As a result, the situation that no one dared to go up slowly became that everyone was scrambling to get up.
Yu Zizhou looked at the controversy of a hundred schools of thought and suddenly became like a vegetable field, shook his head funny, and finally understood what the teacher said. Looking at the teacher's wise eyes, Yu Zizhou also asked a doubt in his heart: "Teacher, in fact, Zizhou has been a place that I am not sure about recently. Dean, he is unusual, this time, let us be so high-profile, what kind of calculation?"
"Hehe, didn't Ying Shao let you do this, how did you say that Ouyang Dongfeng meant?"
"This is by no means Mr. Shao's style, forgive the students for their arrogance, now in the academy, I am afraid that only Mr. Da is the person I can't see through. β
"Bah, you rebel, are you saying that I'm not as good as the old immortal?"
"Zizhou, how dare you, you are the person I admire the most in my life. It's just that in the past seven years, you and Mr. Young have been my closest teachers, and if I don't know you, it's not unfilial! β
"Hmph, barely makes sense. However, although you can't see through it, you can still see it clearly. That old immortality is indeed not as simple as it seems. What he is brewing will definitely be enough to affect the pattern of the world. β
"To tell the truth, when Zizhou heard about the reputation of Longcheng Academy when he was young, he didn't think that an academy could have such power. It wasn't until I lived in it for seven years that I began to believe in that saying that whoever wins the Dragon City Academy will win the world. β
"Hehe, you should have guessed it. Let me ask you, if Mr. Big really wants to join the WTO, who do you think he will choose among the seven kingdoms?"
Yu Zizhou smiled faintly and replied without hesitation-
Qin State!
