Chapter 2 Examination
Chu Ge staggered into the written examination room, his cool appearance naturally attracted the attention of many candidates, and those little girls in light shirts and skirts suddenly saw a beggar appear in the examination room, and they also cast a disgusted and disdainful gaze.
"Yo, isn't this the Chu Ge in the north of the city? Did you go to steal chickens or touch ducks last night?
A young man who looked like a scholar said sarcastically, among the young generation in Yuzhou City, Chu Ge and Zhang Tian are the most knowledgeable, who is Zhang Tian? Zhang Fugui's only son is not only talented and beautiful, but also has a rich family background, and none of these young people dares to disagree with him. But how can you Chu Ge be able to sit on the title of a talented man, and how much do you know about the stars in the sky?
"Brother Wang said it well, in my opinion, this Chu Ge is just a vain name, not only is his head not bright, but no one has heard him say two words for so many years, maybe he is a mute, how can this kind of person be compared with Zhang Gongzi?" A young man said loudly, while he was sarcastic about Chu Ge, he did not forget to flatter that Zhang Gongzi, but he didn't notice how ugly this Zhang Gongzi's face was at this time.
There was a burst of laughter in the audience, and Chu Ge also responded with a light smile, but everyone didn't understand what those two words meant.
"Burn the pen!"
After finishing speaking, Chu Ge slowly walked in front of Zhang Tian, and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "I've disappointed Brother Zhang, my life is cheap, and Lord Yama won't take it in." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Tian's face changed slightly, but he quickly calmed down, and he sneered: "The first place is still in my pocket, I just can't think of any method you used to deceive the killer's eyes." ”
Chu Ge smiled and didn't answer, Zhang Tian dared to admit this, which showed that he was not afraid of his own revenge, and the dead man would not speak, let alone turn into a wronged soul to ask for his life, if he was not admitted to the Nebula Sect this time, that killer would definitely come to the door again.
"Silence!"
Hearing this shout, the candidates did not dare to join in the fun, but respectfully walked to the wooden table marked with their names and sat down upright.
The door closed, and the middle-aged man who let out a cheer glanced at everyone before he spoke: "In the essay test part, there are a total of 100 questions in the test paper, and one point will be deducted for one correct answer, and one point will be deducted for the wrong answer." Of course, if you find a cheater, I'll take your head on the spot!"
As soon as the middle-aged man's words came out, many candidates scratched their cuffs with pale faces, and Chu Ge also swallowed his saliva, this exam rule is really cruel!
"Hair rolls!
In the inner hall of the Nebula Mansion, four middle-aged men laughed and talked after hearing the bell, they were the examiners sent by the sect this time, and the fate of these was in the hands of these big people.
"I didn't expect that we would be sent to this small place in Yuzhou City, I haven't seen a first-class student in the literary examination for many years, and I'm afraid I don't have much hope this year," a gray-haired man in the prime of life took a sip ......of tea, and seemed to sigh with some emotion.
"Brother Chen has thought too much, this year's essay exam questions were personally given by the law enforcement elders of the Inner Sect, not to mention these little guys who have not dried up, even if I answer the questions in person, I am afraid it will be difficult to fall into a first place. One person laughed at himself, and everyone laughed twice when they heard this, the law enforcement elder is notoriously strict in the sect, and in the previous years, the total number of first-class students who have been produced under his paper questions is only five fingers.
A man with a goatee took over and said, "Don't forget, this Yuzhou City is a place where the disciples of the Inner Sect have been produced, and it is said that Zhang Tian, the cousin of the disciples of the Inner Sect, is also a well-known talent here. ”
Everyone was silent when they heard this, and the person who spoke was called Li Qi, who had received a lot of benefits from the Zhang family, and was also the highest person in this place. Therefore, the other three examiners had to remain silent even if they did not like him.
The examination room was unusually quiet, only the faint sound of the pen falling could be heard, and after the bell rang, Chu Ge did not rush to answer the questions, but roughly looked at the questions on the exam papers. The human beings here practice with the help of the stars, so the various cultivation theories on the examination paper involve some basic knowledge of the movement of celestial bodies on the earth.
He was an astronomy fan in his previous life, and from the memory of the Star Continent, he also learned that the rules of the celestial bodies in this world are not significantly different from those on Earth.
"In other words, the Star Continent is actually another space on Earth?" Chu Ge couldn't help but think as he looked at the sun in the sky. What is the truth? The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. The truth on the earth is the true meaning of cultivation on the Star Continent!
After speculation, Chu Ge finally lifted the pen, and his eyes were a little more confident at this time.
"The star element in the cultivator's body comes from many stars outside the sky, and the star element is divided into five elements: yin, yang, thunderstorm, and rain. Ask at night, in the Five Elements, what kind of starlight can a Tempering Realm cultivator rely on to maximize the star element in his body?
Chu Ge thought about it and wrote down his answer with a smile, there is nothing difficult about this question. The stars twinkle at night, and most of the stars that humans can see are stars similar to the sun, and these stars naturally belong to the fire system.
With the passage of time, Chu Ge's answering speed became faster, he didn't know how to cultivate, but the astronomical knowledge in his memory in his previous life, as well as the rich knowledge in his memory in this life, made him feel like a fish in water when answering questions. Most of the questions on the test paper are about the cultivation knowledge of the quenching realm, if you can understand the truth, you will be smooth all the way when you quench the body, I have to say, this person is really well-intentioned.
"There's still a pillar of incense to go!"
The voice of the invigilator came out, and many candidates showed despair in their eyes, but most of them were still scratching their ears and cheeks and were anxious to answer, but there were a few who were calm, such as Zhang Tian and Chu Ge.
Coincidentally, the two men put down their pens almost at the same time, their brows furrowed.
"It seems that there is a problem, but it is great to be able to answer this part!" At this time, several examiners in the main hall had already walked out, and after they read the test papers, they naturally knew how difficult the questions made by the elders were, if these two little guys didn't make too many mistakes in front of them, I am afraid that they would have a great chance of entering the Nebula Sect.
Chu Ge looked at the test paper and was silent, this is the penultimate question, the question is very simple, the fire cultivator of the Nebula Sect, which day of the year is the strongest?
Although cultivators can't directly absorb the brilliance of the Sun Star, the biggest factor affecting the strength of Fire Type cultivators is definitely the Sun Star, and this question is to put it another way, which day the Sun Star shines the strongest and longest.
For Chu Ge from Earth, this high school geography question should not be difficult, but the trouble is that he doesn't know where he is now. The ghost knows the latitude and longitude of the Nebula Sect on the globe! Chu Ge scratched his head and began to dig up his memory, the people in Yuzhou City can see the Big Dipper, and the Nebula Sect is not far away from Yuzhou City.
"It's the Northern Hemisphere, the day where the sun shines the longest is the summer solstice!" confirmed the answer, and Chu Ge wrote it down without hesitation.
"That person named Chu Ge actually answered first?" The examiner surnamed Chen was slightly stunned, and then said solemnly: "According to the time, these two should be answering the penultimate question, do you know which day our Nebula Sect's fire cultivator is the strongest?"
Several people smiled bitterly when they heard this, they all shook their heads and said nothing, thinking of this, they couldn't help but secretly rejoice that when they participated in the sect examination back then, it was fortunate that it was not the law enforcement elder who made the question.
Then Li Qi glanced at Chu Ge, stroked his handful of goatee, and said sarcastically: "In my opinion, this son is also nonsense, and if you don't go through the records of the dossier, there is no way to answer this kind of question." On the contrary, he fell behind in this move, and he will be deducted points for answering the wrong questions!"
Several people nodded slightly, this Li Qi's words were not without some truth, but after a while, that Zhang Tian actually wrote the answer. Everyone was shocked again when they saw this, and Li Qi suddenly tore off a handful of beards because of Zhang Tian's actions, and his face turned the color of pig liver.
"The last question, the last question!"
An examiner said excitedly. There were nearly 1,000 people in the examination room, but I don't know when the whole essay exam seemed to have turned into a war between those two. Chu Ge put down the brush, closed his eyes and was silent, while Zhang Tian raised the pen and frowned.
The last question is more simple and crude, but it is truly desperate, not to mention the candidates, who are afraid that the questioner himself will not be able to give an accurate answer.
"Extraterrestrial geometry?"
This problem has plagued mankind for thousands of years, and every day people in the Star Continent are born and die, and every day there are people looking for their own destiny in the sky, over and over again. Those fate stars have been dimmed and fallen with the passing of cultivators, and this has been circulating for thousands of years, but who has ever seen that night sky really dim for more than half a minute?
There is no solution to this question, so what is the intention of the questioner? Zhang Tian doesn't know, no matter what kind of number he fills in, it is a mistake, it is better to take a step back and leave this question, this written test will definitely be the first place, even if Chu Ge has great ability, it is at most the same as his own results. When it came to the potential test, he showed a little bit of strength, and the first place in the whole sect test was still himself.
So Zhang Tian got up, handed in the papers, and left the examination room.
Among the nearly 1,000 people present, there were also many candidates who skipped the previous questions with a fluke mentality, but when they saw the last question, their faces were even more ugly than the other, and even cursed secretly.
"That Chu Ge hasn't handed in the paper yet, what is he still thinking? Does he really want to write an answer?"
"Geometry of the stars? Don't say he's a poor boy, even those old-timers in the Hall of Stars can't solve it in their lifetimes! Answer? The intention of the law enforcement elders to ask the question is to let these little ghosts maintain a heart of awe for the entire starry sky, that is, let them leave this question blank!"
That Li Qi seemed to have realized some kind of truth, and Chu Ge's delay in handing in the paper stimulated him. Yes, cultivators should be in awe of the entire starry sky, but if they don't have the awe, they will be arrogant and arrogant, and eventually go to the evil path.
If the previous questions test knowledge and lay the groundwork for the candidates, then the last question tests a heart, and this heart will determine what kind of cultivation path they will embark on.
The green smoke curls, and people keep getting up to hand in the papers, and the candidates' exam papers are either blank or lengthy, but the answers to the last question are left neat and clean.
In the end, only Chu Ge was left in the thousand-person field, but the pillar of incense was not finished, so he could continue to answer, although he seemed to be asleep, no one dared to disturb him.
The invigilator looked at Xiangzhu and frowned, as if he was dissatisfied with this person wasting his precious time, and finally the examiners also lost their patience, but they were not good at attacking.
A breeze blew through, blowing the corners of Chu Ge's clothes with a touch of blood, and finally he opened his eyes, and in that clean place, he picked up a pen and wrote down his answer.
The fragrance is exhausted, the bell is ringing!
