Chapter 131: Dao Law Nature
The problem of the 28 nakshatras has not yet been completely solved, but many candidates have already targeted the questions at the bottom of the test paper.
This question is not conspicuous, but it is independent of the hundred questions, and it is the most hateful question made by the hateful questioner. This question is extremely simple, only four words.
What is cultivation?
At a lesser level, it is the process of absorbing the brilliance of the stars and constantly strengthening the cultivator's own strength with the power of the stars, and at a large level, it is competing with the sun and the moon and the entire starry sky. This question may seem simple and easy to understand, but there are thousands of answers, and no one can guarantee that their answer will be correct.
Of course, what really makes the candidates look dead is not the question itself, but the three small words at the end of the question.
"Ask for a Holy Judgment"
The meaning is very simple and clear, the examiners have no right to judge whether this question is right or wrong, and this last question is corrected by the saint himself. In the past dynasties, there has never been a situation where the saint personally corrected the test papers, and even if there were, it was because the examiners had different opinions on the correction of the test papers, and they would ask the saints to look at them as a last resort. How could there be such a rash move today? If your answer is not the right person who asked the question, won't you have to deduct one point in vain if you answer?
This question is indeed very simple and extremely tempting, but any clear-headed candidate will not fill in the answer, this is a trap, and no one will be stupid enough to jump into it. After abandoning the distracting thoughts, the candidates turned their attention back to the twenty-eight constellations, which was not a difficult question, especially for Chu Ge and the black-haired boy, but when the candidates all got up one after another to hand in the test papers, the two of them set their eyes on the one hundred and first question, so the two finally noticed each other.
The two of them didn't last long before they shifted their eyes back to the test papers, obviously the two who answered the questions the fastest were about to hand in the papers last, when Shen Wenze got up with the test papers, he deliberately passed by Chu Ge, and sneered: "It's just pretending, and when the list is released tomorrow, I see if you can still be so calm." ”
No one would think that an unknown candidate could be favored by the mountain of books, in fact, even the chief examiners sitting high above were not very optimistic about this young man in black. Because of the previous big exams, the people who were named in the final gold list were either from traditional families, or famous talents or carefully cultivated disciples of various sects, these people have a common characteristic, that is, they have rich learning resources and the most knowledgeable professors from all walks of life as teachers.
As for the children of the poor family, there are indeed very few who can be admitted to Shushan, but that is just a drop in the ocean.
There is no threshold for Book Mountain, but in fact, its threshold is higher than anyone else's.
The bell that announced the end of the exam had not yet come, and even if there were only two people left in the room, the examiner did not dare to end the exam. So the inspection between the rooms, and the four examiners above, locked their eyes on the two of them, and no one made a sound, compared to this wide examination room, this is indeed too quiet, and the atmosphere seems to have become a little weird.
Chu Ge and the black-haired boy each sat quietly in front of the bookcase, both of them closed their eyes and stared, and they didn't pick up the pen for a long time, as if they were thinking or resting?
As the chief examiner, Fan Xian looked up at the sky, his brows furrowed slightly, the time was almost up, and when the bell rang, the two of them had no chance to answer the question. After reading the last question, he knew better than anyone what the phrase "asking for a holy judge" meant, and asked himself if he was sitting in the examination room, I am afraid that he would not dare to answer the question. Thinking of this, Fan Xian's eyes widened, as if he vaguely grasped something, and for a long time, after those stunned and shocked feelings gradually subsided, he smiled bitterly and sighed.
"The Master deserves to be the Master......
It was only now that he understood the Master's true intention in asking the question, if it was to be judged by the priests of the church. I'm afraid there are some deviant comments, and in fact, it is true, if these views are published in the form of academic papers, it is strange that those birdmen of the Xiling Church are not crazy.
Use the previous questions to lead the candidates out of the Church's bondage to thought, and this last question is the finishing touch of the whole paper, and the last question is called determination.
The Master gave the candidates three choices, one was to avoid answering, the second was to risk being deducted points to answer the most normal and standardized answers with reference to the scriptures, and the third was to summarize those views that ran counter to the scriptures and the righteousness of the Tao, and redefine the cultivation of human beings.
The end of no path is clear, and the future of the third path is even darker, because this question will be decided by the saints, and if the answer provokes the anger of the saints, it will be a catastrophe for these candidates who have weak cultivation.
The Master really had good intentions, and of course, it can also be understood that he had sinister intentions.
Thinking of this, Fan Xian, who was the chief examiner, even felt that the master's intention in writing the question was not to recruit students from the scholars, but to recruit disciples for himself. This conjecture was almost a dream, but the depths of Fan Xian's eyes couldn't help but reveal a blazing heat.
Become a disciple of the Master? Even if you are a saint, you may not be able to resist this temptation, right?
Time passed, and the burning clouds on the horizon finally dimmed, so the sun set, and the moon and stars were scarce.
The black-haired boy opened his eyes, and there was a calm in the depths of his eyes, and he slowly stood up in this calm, then picked up the test paper and slowly walked up to the high platform, and bowed to the four examiners before putting the test paper down. The paper is neat, the handwriting is clean and clear, and the format of the answers is extremely neat, this test paper is infinitely close to perfection, if I have to pick out a flaw, it is probably the blank of the one hundred and one questions.
The young man also passed by Chu Ge when he walked out of the examination room, his footsteps did not stop because of him, and the dark lake under his eyes did not cause a ripple because of him.
"There are only two kinds of people who answer the last question, one is a fool and the other is a reckless man!"
A fool is stupid, and a reckless man is not afraid of death, obviously, Chu Ge is neither, he has to answer the last question, just like when the Nebula Sect took the exam, he also answered the last question that everyone did not answer. As for the reason, in addition to wanting to get a high score and get as much gold as possible, it may be attributed to the fact that he has a hard time tolerating a blank space on the paper, just as he can't bear to have one of the neatly arranged dominoes crooked.
The young man's words were a little ugly, but there was no malice, Chu Ge didn't care, and it wasn't as profound and distant as Fan Xian thought, if he didn't answer this question, I'm afraid he would be unable to sleep until the list was released, but since he wanted to answer, he naturally had to avoid wrong answers as much as possible, otherwise wouldn't it be worth the loss?
Is the correct answer? Chu Ge thought a lot, and even thought of the sages on the earth, and after a long time, even the examiners were a little impatient, he opened his eyes and picked up his pen and embarked on the third path.
This path is called determination.
"Man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law of the Tao, and the Tao is the law of nature!"
Xingzu idealized everything too much, thinking that the universe he knew was the real universe, so he had the later Jingyi Daozang, as well as the so-called Dao Truth, and it was precisely because of this that Tianyu's predecessors would say that if you follow the cultivation system of this continent, even if you are talented, it is impossible to surpass Xingzu.
The idea that man is heaven and earth is indeed very domineering, and it can satisfy the vanity of human beings, but in fact, only by following the laws of nature and understanding the laws of the universe can we truly embark on the pinnacle of cultivation. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that some people can break the laws of nature and climb another mountain, but that is not something that can be done by arbitrarily defining the universe.
If the scriptures define cultivation as human beings as heaven and earth, then the meaning of this sentence is just the opposite, contrary to the truth of the Great Dao, which is "Heaven and earth are human beings." ”
A bell rang melodiously from afar, Chu Ge also stopped writing, and then got up and walked out of the examination room, no matter what kind of frightened expressions those examiners showed when they saw their test papers, and no matter whether they would withstand the anger of the saint. In short, he was in a good mood at this time, thinking that this Shushan really didn't come to the wrong place, even if he didn't repair the Xingfu in the end, it would not be in vain to come here, the person who wrote the question must be a reckless man, and the reckless man is not afraid of death, and he dares to openly provoke the church on the test paper of the Shushan Big Exam, which is something that Chu Ge has always wanted to do but did not dare to do for the time being.
For him, this feeling is like finding a soulmate.
The spring rain fell softly, and I didn't know how many catties of peach blossoms on both sides of the mountain road were cut, and the night wind carried these reds and fell on this halfway mountainside.
There were so many people in the rain that it was difficult to contain all of them in this vast land. In addition to nearly 1,000 candidates, representatives of various sect forces, or family elders are waiting here, and the purpose of these people is very obvious, just waiting for the release of the list, and use all their financial resources to win over those candidates with the title of the gold list. It can be said that the popularity of the scene is no less than when the big exam opens, not only the forces on Tianshu Island, but even the various family sects in the sea of stars have also sent people to come, and such a scene is not uncommon in various test centers in this book mountain.
It was a coincidence that Chu Ge actually saw an acquaintance in the bustling crowd.
Han Yiyi...... Why is she here too?"
Chu Ge was the last of the thousands of students to walk out of the examination room, and naturally received a lot of attention, but these attention did not stop here for long before it was transferred to other candidates who were somewhat famous. No one spends much time on an unknown person, because he is the last to appear, but he suffers a lot of ridicule in vain, and he is on the right path up the mountain, which makes those sarcastic words even more harsh.
Fortunately, when the bright woman in the crowd saw Chu Ge, after being slightly stunned, her pretty face showed a look of surprise.
The cute little girl who was outside the crowd, holding an umbrella at the end of the mountain road, boredly teasing the mire baby, trotted all the way to her husband when she saw her, regardless of the splashing rain that wet her skirt. R1152
