All three questions are issued, and candidates can answer them according to their own time, of course, most people choose to follow the rules and regulations every three days.

Such a time distribution is the most reasonable, and it is also proved by countless historical experiences.

Even Zhou Bai would not plan to finish writing in advance, because it would not be until August 14 that the dragon gate of the Gongyuan would be reopened, and there were no exceptions.

What's more, what he wants to take is the first place in the exam, and he must go all out, and his own luck is only enough to win the middle lift, and if he wants to win the Xie Yuan, he must be far ahead in Wencai.

Literary talent and luck are all important bases for ranking, and literary talent is the first screening threshold, and the examiner will not even give you the opportunity to see your luck for articles that don't make sense.

In the first session, one poem was examined, and five major questions were interpreted by the scriptures.

The poem is still the word of your choice, and this township test only gives the theme, the Tao.

After years of studying, I would like to ask you if you have your own way now, and what feelings you can express in poetry.

This made Zhou Bai stunned for a moment, the township exam he participated in in his previous life was not this one, but he did the real questions of the past dozens of sessions, and he didn't have the impression that it was this topic.

He thought of a possibility, and his heartbeat slowed down by half a beat, could it be that there was a change in the historical development later?

But this question is not something that Zhou Bai can investigate in depth now, yes or no, he has to continue to move forward in this life.

The Tao, the Tao of his own understanding? Zhou Bai looked up at the roof slightly.

Outside is the vast blue sky, and it is the supreme Nine Heavens Heavenly Court, and they rule a realm according to the will of the Heavenly Dao.

So, Zhou Bai waved his pen and wrote down the title of the poem, two big characters.

Heaven.

The poor are all fateful, He Lao sighed.

Writing the first sentence, there was no change on the rice paper, and from the perspective of Zhou Bai's hope, the red tone rolled out by the pen and ink was firmly suppressed under the words by the power of the town in the examination room.

But know what to do and do good, don't ask about the future.

In the second sentence, the golden spirit has been born, but the rice paper only trembled invisibly, and there was still no vision.

In winter, the ice is removed, and the grass grows on its own in spring.

In the third sentence, the golden literary atmosphere suddenly became thicker, staining the words of the rice paper with gold, and the majestic literary atmosphere seemed to be about to gush out.

The shadowy golden mangs flashed on the rice paper, this scene of course could not be hidden from the invigilators, and the high platform where they were could clearly observe all the houses, not to mention that they themselves were also fellow jinshi, and they were extremely sensitive to the tone.

At this time, only half an hour has passed in the examination time, and some candidates have completed the golden poems, which is their contribution to Dingzhou's education.

The Dingzhou Inspector was overjoyed, and hurriedly turned his head to ask the governor and the examiner for instructions, whether to go down to inspect the situation.

However, as the main examiner, Bachelor Hanlin just glanced at the number building where Zhou Bai was and shook his head slightly.

Dingzhou literature is not prosperous, although the Qingwen that was born has not been broken, but the Qingshi has not been in the world.

Even if this person's poetry talent is extraordinary, he can't break the strict layout of the examination room, and he doesn't have to worry about the vision of the golden poem and interfere with the order of the examination room.

Sure enough, in addition to the gold medal of the town luck and the great seal of the governor, there are other means to suppress the cultural vision.

In the main hall, the invisible magic circle that had been arranged by the Taoist officials long ago played a role, and before long, the golden mangs that appeared in the three lines of poetry were immediately annihilated in the void.

Zhou Bai didn't do anything in the accident world, but took a deep breath and was about to write the last sentence.

Suddenly, the majestic luck around him twisted into a ball, and suddenly poured into the brush he was holding, and every stroke and word that the tip of the pen waved was extremely difficult.

Now Zhou Bai feels that what he is holding in his hand is not a pen, but a thousand pounds of burden, and a drop of hot sweat gradually condenses on the back crest.

What he wants to write is a green poem, which contains Taoist essence and can be handed down to the world, so naturally it is difficult to wave it in one stroke.

However, Zhou Bai's accumulation is worthy of any fellow jinshi, and his luck is also a serious person who can only have, and the eruption of literary thinking finally allowed him to finish the last sentence.

Please look at this principle, the way of heaven is very clear.

And this sentence, Zhou Bai wrote for a whole hour, most of his strength was consumed, and the green shirt behind him was soaked with sweat.

But it's all worth it, Zhou Bai wrote a hand-me-down poem in Dingzhou Gongyuan!

In an instant, the visible Qing Wen Qi revealed the rice paper, rushed straight out of the house, and pointed to the higher top of the hall, where there were layers of legal nets.

However, Hanlin's gold medal and the governor's seal are not blind in vain, how can they really let the green qi impact the magic circle, causing the layout of the town to be shaken.

When most of the candidates didn't react, the chief examiner Hanlin directly picked up the gold medal and took a photo at Zhou Bai's No. 7 dormitory.

Just looking at the shape of his mouth, his mouth is probably silent: "The law of the court is above, and the laws are forbidden!" ”

The domineering and huge power of the town instantly cut off the green literary qi that rushed out of the house, and then Zhou Bai saw a gold medal dragon shadow on the top of the poem, pressing the green qi back into the thin rice paper little by little.

The examiners in the high hall reacted and left their seats one after another to inspect to prevent a commotion.

Fortunately, the main exam responded quickly, and there were not many candidates who saw the vision of Qingqi, and they were only limited to some of the number houses in the Suzi District.

When Lei Haomiao, the governor of Dingzhou, personally went to inspect these houses, the last slight commotion was gone.

"Which offspring is this? Is there a concern in the state? Lei Haomiao asked the entourage next to him as he walked.

As the governor, he should not have personally supervised the examination, because it meant that he would be locked up in the Gongyuan for nine days and six nights, and it would be difficult to deal with any major matter outside in time.

However, this time, the imperial court randomly supervised the key areas of Qiuyu, and one of them was selected in Dingzhou, and at this time, there were ministerial-level elders of the imperial court in the state government.

In addition, the Dragon Court must have also sent a superior god to supervise it, and Dingzhou is as stable as Mount Tai at this time, and there must be no shortcomings.

It's just that Lei Haomiao never expected himself to be so lucky, as soon as he was invigilated, some candidates wrote green poems, which really gave him a long face.

"Back to the Governor, I may not know the others, but I still have a few seedlings in each county. Now the number seven of Suzi should be the head of Bei'an County, Zhou Bai from the Pingcang Township clan. "The quality of the inspector's business is excellent, and he hurriedly replied without thinking.

Lei Haomiao was also familiar with the name, and said, "Huh? Is that the Cloud Rider? I remember that a few days ago, an angel in Shenjing reported this situation. ”

As they spoke, they found the number seven of the su characters, and when they were signaled, one of the scribes stepped forward and gently lifted the curtain of the door.

However, the elders who were full of curiosity about Zhou Bai were stunned when they saw the scene inside, and Zhou Bai, a talented man who had just written a green poem, was already lying on the small bed and falling asleep.

If it weren't for the silence in every house, his snoring might have spread throughout the nearby houses.

Several sub-exams were a little confused, but Xue Qing, a Hanlin bachelor who was the main examiner, smiled knowingly.

"Qing Shi is not so easy to write, he should have consumed too much mental thinking and physical strength, so he should use sleep to recover his state." As the governor, Lei Haomiao has a small number of invigilators, but he has a lot of knowledge.

"Yes, it's just that this kid's mind is really not ordinary, and if he can fall asleep in such a situation, it's no wonder that he can write green poems."

"Let's see." Xue Qing suppressed the excitement in his heart to taste good poems, and walked to the examination table unhurriedly, and everyone also stepped forward to take a look.

The four-line poems of the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing on it were neatly arranged on the rice paper, and without waiting to see the content, the inspector couldn't help but admire.

"Good words, strong bones and muscles, I didn't expect Zhou Bai's words to be so atmospheric."

However, after seeing the content of the poem next, no one spoke for a long time, and it was not until half an hour later that several people who walked out of the house were still pondering and reminiscing.

"The future of this son is uncertain!"

……

When Zhou Bai woke up again, it was already dusk, and the slanting sun outside sprinkled a little light through the window grille, but it couldn't support the light inside the dormitory at all.

Zhou Bai stretched his waist for a long time, and then he lit the whale oil on the table without hurrying, and then opened the door curtain and brought in the lunch box that had just been handed out.

The food in the township test is much better than the county test and the county test, and the specially hired chef of Taste Xuan makes all kinds of dim sum, a box full of water.

Although this kind of food is also mainly clear, it is better than a few oil cakes with water, otherwise who can pass the test after eating oil cakes for nine days.

After eating, most of the candidates will fight at night, because the three sessions have a large amount of questions, and they are not particularly confident, and generally no one will rest so early.

Zhou Bai is the same, he has just finished writing a poem, and the biggest topic of the first scene has not yet moved.

Then there is the interpretation of the scriptures, five major questions, each of which has quite a lot of small questions, which need to be interpreted in a detailed and rational way.

However, there is not much difficulty in the scriptures, and it only depends on whether the candidate's foundation is solid.

In the future, there are quite a lot of difficult words and passages in various Taoist scriptures, which is also a test of whether you, as a future leader, can interpret unfamiliar texts and sentences, and whether you are ready to cultivate the Tao.

"Rather than flattering in Ao, rather flattering in the stove, what does it mean?"

"Otherwise, you will be condemned to heaven, and you will have nothing to pray for."

"What does it mean to be a god of the stove instead of a god of the Stove?"

"It's not like that. If you offend Heaven, it is useless to go anywhere to pray and plead. ”

……

In this way, Zhou Bai kept an average speed to answer, and stepped over with a small question and a small question, without encountering any difficult obstacles.

After all, these things have been turned over by readers, and if you want to stump people, there is only the amount of questions.

Two days later, Zhou Bai began the second answer as scheduled, trying to discuss a strategy, and trying an edict, a judgment, a table, and a sentence.

The amount of questions is not large, but it is complicated and diverse, and the imperial court is to test the general affairs in this field, and to screen out the talents of the world.

As the threshold for becoming officials, they often serve as petty officials of the ninth and eighth grades, and these petty officials are related to the operation of the grassroots level and are the foundation of the entire imperial court system.

Edicts, judgments, tables, edicts and other official document topics, Zhou Bai naturally did not hesitate, the text was in order, and the pen was like a stream.

For two whole days, he polished these official documents flawlessly, even if the old officials of the officialdom came to review them, they couldn't find any faults.

It's just that these official documents, although they are mixed with all kinds of people's writings, seem to be perfect, but after all, they still lack some spirituality.

A puff of gold was accumulated under the paper, and even if the words flashed golden, they could not cause any vision, and he was now the key supervisor of the magic circle.

Just look at the examiners who are sitting on the high seat and frequently look sideways, and you know that Suzi No. 7 can't turn the sky here.

Of course, the selection of talents in the world is not only based on whether you can write official documents, but also on whether you have the corresponding potential.

After all, the imperial court does not really only hope to admit a few "laymen", but also hopes that you can have your own thinking about political issues and contribute your own strategies to the imperial court.

On this topic, in order to express his attention, Zhou Bai deliberately set aside a whole day to write.

The theme of this township trial theory is very sensitive and novel, and it has never appeared in his memory, and Zhou Bai at this time has vaguely understood that the later history may not really go according to his memory.

"On the long-term stability of the dynasty."

This is directly to ask the candidates of this session how the imperial court should continue to maintain a stable rule, and it is obvious that some far-sighted people at the top seem to have foreseen the turbulent tide of forty-six years of peace.

Zhou Bai closed his eyes and thought about the direction of the answer, and after a long time, he looked around and probed the surrounding state of luck.

The entire Gongyuan examination room is like a big steamer, where the candidates are steaming, and every wisp of luck keeps rising, stimulating their literary talents all the time.

In the tone, there are not many white gases at this time, most of them are red or even crimson, and these tones can't attract any attention.

Only a trace of golden qi that popped out from time to time everywhere would provoke the timely suppression of the Great Seal of Zhenyun and the magic circle, and an invisible force would cut through, and the examination room would become a red-dominated world again.

At a cursory glance, Zhou Bai didn't seem to have found a great talent that threatened him, so he turned his head and buried himself in the strategy to answer.

How to make the dynasty last for a long time, he smiled slightly and wrote his title.

On military politics.

Whether in troubled times or in ordinary times, if the imperial court has enough force, it can calm all turbulence.

"The ordinary force of a secular dynasty is ultimately a soldier, not an extraordinary way...... Every time I see a person who cares about the stomach, Huan Huan holds the lance, lives in peace and fights musically, once he is in command of the soldiers, he is silent and does not know the general merit. Woof! There must be a law in heaven and earth, and there is no civil and military force.

The country's systems are well prepared, and all the prisons and money valley rules and regulations are extensive and new from time to time. However, there are few laws of war, and Jiazi has not seen anyone who has trained him. How can it really be peaceful for thousands of years, and nothing is mediocre in martial arts......"

After writing a splendid and eloquent essay, the rich golden qi under the rice paper was close to qualitative change, but the trace of green qi still failed to be generated.

This scene made Governor Lei Hao feel sorry, and he couldn't wait to go up and let Zhou Bai add two more strokes to improve, and he couldn't say that there would be another Qingwen this time.

Only the chief examiner Xue Qing's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was thinking about something, this kid wouldn't be deliberate.

If you take the next spring exam, then you can't overdraft your style at will now, because most of the people who have the title of the gold list will write Qingwen to be safe.

"No, Zhou Bai's kid seems to be targeted, and his luck has been suppressed in the dark?" Lei Haomiao's expression suddenly became serious, and he whispered in Xue Qing's ear.

Xue Qing bowed slightly, quietly picked up the gold medal and shone it at Suzi No. 7 again, this time for a little longer.

Sure enough, in addition to the tone of Zhou Bai's article being completely suppressed, the "cat greasy" on his body was also revealed.

A small picture is revealed on the gold medal, which is Zhou Bai's external luck.

A poisonous Jiao with teeth and claws quietly stayed outside, and the invisible poisonous gas emitted from its body made Zhou Bai's foreign transportation have to divide his troops to defend.

"Jiaolong Outer Evil? This little guy offended the royal family? Lei Haomiao asked with a heavy puzzle.

Before Xue Qing could open his mouth, the elusive Yin God Lao Dao suddenly appeared, and he smiled sullenly, as if with a little ridicule.

"I didn't expect such a genius to be abandoned by the imperial court, too careful, it's better to follow me to seek immortality."

"Don't say anything else, Lao Dao, my only closed disciple will give it to him!"

Xue Qing couldn't help it, and he didn't care about any respect, so he snorted coldly and said: "Real people may not think too well, you dare to grab the talents selected by the national talent selection ceremony, then you just wait." ”

"That's it, Lao Zhenren, there is a ministry in the state government, what can be counted as a little bit of unscrupulous descendants of the royal family." Lei Haomiao also choked.

"By the Holy Decree, the Outer Evil is forbidden!" Xue Qing no longer spoke, but coldly raised the gold medal and shouted.

A small golden dragon suddenly manifested in the gold medal, and rushed straight towards the poisonous Jiao, under the power of the pure true dragon, how could the poisonous Jiao resist, and disappeared without a trace in a moment.

Seeing this, the Yin God Old Dao knew that there would be no more opportunities, so he touched his beard, and disappeared again.

August 12 is the start time of the third session, this session only tests the interpretation questions of the Tao Sutra, but those who answer according to the schedule should have completed the first two sessions by this time.

It's just that there are only a few who are as smooth as Zhou Bai, not to mention the candidates who haven't finished the first two questions, and there are already a group of frail showmen who can't support it at this time.

In the process of Zhou Bai's answers, from time to time, several candidates would write that they vomited blood, and then they were carried out by the soldiers guarding outside, and there were special doctors outside to treat them.

A small number of candidates will come back with a strong will, and most of them will never return, they have no energy, and they do not have enough luck to support them to stay in this big steamer.

After all, the last test is the interpretation of the Taoist scriptures, and answering these Taoist questions requires a strong spirit.

"The Tao is a thing, but it is a trance. Suddenly in a trance, there is an elephant in it; In a trance, there is something in it. Slim and dark, there is essence in it; Its essence is true, and in it is faith. ”

"All things are negative yin and embrace yang, and they are impulsive and peaceful."

“…… It is said to be deeply rooted and long-sighted. ”

To be honest, each of these sutra questions is very mysterious, and different people may come up with different answers, and this is the charm of the third exam.

There is no standard answer, just look at your learning and perception of the general outline of the Five Emperors, and those who have better understanding and better expression will give high marks.

After three days of careful answering, there was no fluctuation in the tone, Zhou Bai had already expected it, and there was no surprise, and the interpretation of the Taoist scripture questions did not look at the tone.

On August 14, just after the afternoon of Shen, the crisp sound of gongs resounded throughout the audience, and the sound of the squeaky opening of the dragon gate was also particularly clear.

"The exam is over, all the students stop writing and go out in an orderly manner from the dragon gate!"
