Book 2: The Journey of the Dead One Hundred and Thirty-Nine: Eclipse of the Sun

Master Taishi actually sat in charge in person, even though everyone had already heard that the main examination was still held by Master Taishi himself, but at this time, they still came out of the room one after another, wanting to see the true face of Master Taishi in person.

An Jin was also a little surprised, according to common sense, Duan Hou Xinggui is a member of the first grade, even if he is the main exam, he should not show up at will. You must know that the law of the imperial court, the real power of the official position is at most three grades to the top, and from the top of the three grades, it is all an honorary position, and the emperor rarely rewards people, so as to show the emperor's grace.

And today's Zhao State, the only two Zhengyipin officials, in addition to Duan Houxing's "Taishi" position, is Xiahou Ceyong's "Taifu" position, these two also serve as the first assistant of the cabinet and the secretary of the Ministry of Shangshu respectively, the power is so great that it is enough to divide the government and the opposition equally, and even the prince and prince have to avoid its edge.

Such a person actually came to the examination room in person, sitting among the students, how could An Jin not be surprised.

"Bold man, since you have seen your lords, why don't you bow and bow?" In contemplation, an abrupt male duck's throat exploded in his ear, and An Jin came back to his senses, seeing that the original eunuch was looking at him with an unkind face.

Looking around, the court officials led by Duan Houxing had already walked in front of him, and the scholars who came out of the four places all saluted one after another, bowing their heads and bowing. Only he was alone in the same place, as straight and conspicuous as a stick.

The other scholars, including Lan Qizhuo, looked at themselves with different expressions, some surprised, some fearful, some helpless, and some even snickering, obviously gloating.

An Jin was not panicked, and immediately thought of a countermeasure, and immediately waved his hands, bowed slightly, and did not bow, but said to the officials: "Is this the court or the examination room?" If it is a court, it is the body of a grass people, and when you see your lords, you will naturally bow; But since it is the examination room, you are the examiners, and the responsibility is to be fair and just, select and appoint talents, and I am a scholar, so I should think about learning and observing etiquette and protect the Tao with my body. In the examination room, heaven and earth are the foundation, the people's hearts are the mirror, and the knowledge is great. If students want to worship, they can only worship the truth. Otherwise, if you treat the examiners in the way of officialdom, won't you become a sycophant? ”

After saying this, it was neither humble nor arrogant and reasonable, but it made many officials look at each other.

Only the other scholars heard his last words, and their faces almost turned blue with anger, and their faces were extremely ugly.

The heart said that you have to show off, show off and show off, and finally you have to pull us. When you say this with a gun and a stick, it seems that you are tall, and we have become flattering villains when it is over.

Everyone's dissatisfaction can be imagined.

"Some talents, but still a little arrogant." An Jin, who was in a position, didn't look up, but felt a gaze looking at him, like the rising sun in the sky, although it also made people feel warm, but they didn't dare to look up directly.

Duan Houxing walked up to An Jin with a steady tone, "I just heard what you said, the exam is a personal ability test, and it has nothing to do with rankings, so there is no need to compete with others." That's a bit of a bias. The imperial court spends a lot of money every month to support you, and every time you are provided with a venue and opportunity for examinations, it also has to allocate a large number of people and consume a lot of resources. The only hope for doing so much for you is to see you do your best to bring out the best in yourself. Since the imperial court has such expectations for you, you naturally can't live up to it. ”

After the paragraph, he criticized An Jin's attitude of being content with the status quo and getting by.

"The master taught carefully, and the students dare not forget." Lan Qizhuo rushed to say: "Later, the student will write a famous article with all his talents, and he will definitely live up to the teachings of the Taishi, and he will not live up to your essay "On Filial Piety", which once shocked the north and south. ”

"I'll wait...... and with all their might. An Jin doesn't like to argue with people, since the other party thinks that he is right, then let him go, and the same is true at the moment.

"The time has come, for all adults to enter the museum, please return to their rooms and wait for the exam!"

The eunuch who gave the order saw that the time for the sundial had come, and shouted at the top of his voice.

But in the next moment, everyone saw that the shadow came out of the sky, obscuring all the light. The sundial was obscured by shadows and was no longer usable.

Above the nine heavens, the whole sun first seemed to be bitten off, the black defect was shocking, and then the shadow continued to expand, and in a few moments, the whole sun was only a shallow ring in the sky, still faintly leaking a faint light.

"When there is a solar eclipse, its age is fierce, this ......" Lan Qizhuo's face was pale, and solar eclipses were often bad omens, but they happened to collide with the day of the imperial examination, which ......

"There is no need to panic, go back to the examination room, and the exam will be as usual." Duan Houxing made a gesture, with great courage, and it was also a stability for the hearts of those present.

The majesty and righteousness of his book, as well as the words that represented the highest power of the imperial court, every word he spoke, was as unshakable as a law, invisibly, enveloping the entire examination room, and ten thousand ways could not invade, so that this place was like a port of refuge in the wind and waves, maintaining absolute tranquility, and no evil dared to approach.

An Jin suddenly realized why Master Taishi came in person this time.

On behalf of the imperial court, he specially came to suppress the luck of this exam and avoid any accidents.

The students who were relieved also went to their respective private rooms one after another.

Not long after, the test paper was put in through the small window outside the door, and An Jin picked it up, but for the first time, she smelled the lotus-like fragrance on the paper first.

……

“…… Yangzhai Hanke once customized a special type of paper with Shengongmen, and then Shengongmen made this kind of soft lotus silk paper for him in the process of research......"

Li Yixuan wrote this kind of story on the blank page to deduce the possibility of the past. But at this point in the story, the plot after that can't be maintained in any way, and then the handwriting in front of it gradually disappears, proving that the development of things cannot be according to this trend.

Li Yixuan shook his head, proving that his train of thought was completely invalid, re-straightened out his known causes and consequences, and started writing again, deducing another possibility on paper:

“…… The Shengongmen stole the recipe for the soft lotus silk paper that was monopolized by the imperial court, but because of the strict official investigation, they had no way to turn it into a product to sell. So they found Yang Zhai Hanke, and in the name of this author, they used this paper as a packaging for all his books, and then sold them in large quantities......"

There are still some parts that cannot be justified, and this possibility has also completely disappeared in Li Yixuan's deduction.

At this point, she was a little irritable. Her ability is to use stories to show almost all the real things in the world, but only this time she is deducing the past, but she has never understood the essentials.

"Is it because there are too few clues, or is it because of what?" Li Yixuan is constantly conjecturing, "Even if you don't find enough clues from the beginning, you can always grasp the traces that have not yet been discovered in the continuous deduction." But this time, I didn't have a clue how to deduce it, as if I had gone in the wrong direction from the beginning. ”

She gave up on herself, but she also laughed at herself at this time, repeated the words "in the opposite direction" again, and woke up suddenly.

Yes, from the very beginning, the possibility of a opposite direction has been ignored by myself.

She pressed her mood, re-applied the paper, and deduced the following possibilities:

“…… Yang Zhai Hanke wanted soft lotus silk paper, although he didn't know his purpose, he did get this special recipe through various means. Then he took the initiative to find Shengongmen to turn it into a product for circulation in the market......"

In this kind of deduction, Yang Zhai Hanke has changed from passive acceptance to the dominance of everything.

With the continuous deduction of this possibility, Li Yixuan's pen is full of various situations, and finally constitutes a complete scene.

She didn't even need to take the initiative to add any details, everything was in front of her eyes, and it began to change naturally.

She found the past, the truth of what had happened.

However.

The shadows on the horizon suddenly appeared, interrupting all her deductions. Those scenes also faded away, and disappeared into smoke.

"What is this?" Li Yixuan looked up and saw a solar eclipse in the sky.

"The sun is obscuring, the yin is strong, is there something going on?"

……

"What a hassle!" Qiu Shaohu's side finally got rid of the entanglement of those monsters, and even ran directly to the center of Jingcheng Street.

Countless bridges are undulating, stacked like towers across the streets and alleys, Qiu Shaohu saw that there were many people here, and those monsters should not chase after them, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the darkness on the horizon shrouded everywhere at this time, making the atmosphere of everything a little weird.

Qiu Shaohu looked up and saw that the scorching sun was only a circle on the edge, still emitting light. The surging yang energy, like a flame steaming, was constantly dissipating, and was constantly swallowed up by the shadow like a black hole in the center.

"Ahh

"What's wrong?"

"The Moon Disciple has reappeared!"

On all sides, at this moment, there was a sudden noisy exclamation. The moon disciples who can only be affected during the full moon are once again uncontrollable at this moment, wantonly attacking the people around them.

Qiu Shaohu's head was also hit hard by a hammer, and then thousands of needles pierced his brain through his ears, constantly stirring in his mind as if it was about to tear his head apart.

With the appearance of the moon disciple this time, the mysterious voice was heard more clearly, but I still didn't know what this voice meant.

"Most of the sun's qi was swallowed up, and the yin qi was extremely strong, like a full moon, did it cause the moon disciples to appear again?" Qiu Shaohu endured the headache and vaguely grasped some of the veins, "So this voice is essentially in conflict with yang energy, and it will only appear when yang energy is extremely weak." And those monsters, also had a premonition that the solar eclipse was about to come out and the yang energy was decaying, so they came out to make trouble? ”
