Seeing the green-shirted scribe avoiding his gaze, Qin Chuan's heart became more and more strange. However, in the township examination room, it is expected that the other party will not dare to make a mistake, otherwise it will be a blatant opposition to the government and Confucianism.

It's not time for chaos yet.

Each one sweeps the snow in front of his own door, and does not care about the frost on the tiles of others.

Qin Chuan retracted his gaze and waited for the township test to begin.

Seeing Qin Chuan retract his gaze, the green-shirted scribe breathed a sigh of relief, he somehow, when he saw that Qin Chuan was interested in observing him, he couldn't help but feel some palpitations.

This kind of thing has not happened since he became a yin god.

The Qingyi scribe was originally the master of the Qingjing Gate of the Wenxiang Sect, but recently he had a complete falling out with the head of the Wenxiang Sect, broke the sect, and established the Qingjing Sect on his own, and he originally had a talent and fame, and planned to mix up the identity of the people, which was conducive to the development of the Qingjing Sect in Yujiang Province in the future.

He had heard of Qin Chuan's name for a long time, but Qin Chuan was nineteen years old, and he didn't take it very seriously.

Now that I met it outside the examination room of the Township Test Tribute Institute, I was really shocked.

He couldn't see the specific doorway of Qin Chuan, but the Shangyuan Purification Method of the Pure Sect was inherited from the Shangqing Dao, and his soul keenly sensed that something was wrong.

"Could it be that this kid has cultivated Haoran righteousness, which makes me instinctively a little jealous?" The scribe in the green shirt, thinking about it, felt that only such an explanation could be reliable.

"If he cultivates Haoran righteousness, I am afraid that it will not be easy to take away the title of Xie Yuan, who is the first in the township test B list. Either way, try your best. ”

The green-shirted scribe was still a little disdainful of Huang Meng's big words before, but now he couldn't help but feel ripples in his heart, and his confidence was not so sufficient.

…

…

The township test lasts for nine days and is divided into three sessions, each of which lasts for three days.

In the first test, there are three righteous ways in the "Four Books", each with more than 200 words. The Five Classics have four righteous paths, each with more than 300 words.

The second trial is a one-piece argument, more than 300 words. There are five judgments, one for the edict, the table, the inside, and the department.

The third test of scriptures, history, and strategies is more than 300 words.

In the end, the township examination is a national talent selection ceremony, and the question is still moving closer to the direction of selecting talents.

The first session is to test candidates' familiarity with and knowledge of Confucian classics. The second session is to examine the students' ability to distinguish right from wrong and write various official documents. The third session was to examine the students' knowledge of ancient and modern political affairs.

These Qin Chuan have been specifically mentioned in the imperial examination system.

The reason why many talented people from poor families can't pass the examination is not because of their understanding of the recitation of the classics, but because they lack relevant training compared to the gentry family.

But Baguwen is a stepping stone, and many talented children often fall in the children's test, and once it passes, it is a flat river.

In fact, the eight-strand essay of the children's examination is not useless, and it has the effect of sharpening the mind.

This is hard work, such as the boring meditation of monasticism, but it is to grind away the restlessness of the heart.

The most basic quality of an official is to be calm and impatient whenever there is a major event.

In many cases, the decrees issued by the government seem absurd and unrealistic, but in fact, it is not that officials do not understand the stakes, but that they understand the stakes too well and are unwilling to easily touch these stakes.

Cultivating and being an official are the opposite, in addition to peace of mind, we must also have the determination to move forward, go along the way to adulthood, and retrograde to become an immortal.

It is a matter of cultivating the Tao and being an official, which is often a bit of a contradiction.

Being an official requires compromise, but monasticism cannot be compromised.

The battle for the avenue is endless.

The ruthlessness of a cultivator is the strongest, and killing people and seizing treasures will become a common thing in the cultivation world, otherwise there will be a calamity, and wait for others to come back to take revenge?

The struggle in officialdom will leave a line to some extent.

Qin Chuan is in the cultivation world, and he can even understand the ruthlessness of cultivators.

The immortal aura is ethereal, transcendent and unconventional, which is indeed a characteristic of the Tao, and the premise is that it has nothing to do with the dispute of the Great Dao, so the monk is naturally higher than the mortal and does not care about the mundane, which makes people have infinite yearning.

But once it comes to the battle of the immortal family's enlightenment, it is a different face.

Therefore, a monk with a mind will not easily deal with ordinary people, unless there is a fate in it. It's not kindness, it's disdain, just as one doesn't care about ants.

But there are also intimacy, and if it is a person who has been with us for a long time, even if it is a mundane, some cultivators will care about it in their hearts.

There is nothing wrong with being ruthless or sentient in a monk, but there is a difference in the choice of path.

Entering the examination room, the three nine-day exams passed quickly.

Then comes the tedious waiting.

The law of Daliang stipulates: at the end of the township test, the examiner will sign the papers. Then each room began to be graded separately. The time for admission and release of the list cannot be more than 10 days from the start of grading. After deducting some trivial links in the officialdom in the middle, the real time for marking the file is only three or four days.

There are three township examinations, with nearly tens of thousands of references, and the workload is not small.

And because the township test is a national talent ceremony, those who are selected are qualified to be officials, and its importance is self-evident. Therefore, in order to ensure the relative fairness of admission, after the announcement of the admission list, the provinces also need to send the examination papers of the selected candidates to the Ministry of Rites for review of the examination papers, which is called 'grinding and investigation'.

'Grinding' is generally done by the gentlemen and outstanding students of the college, who are originally first-class jinshi or outstanding people after entering the Hanlin Academy, and after having no intention of pursuing a career, they are transferred to the college. Under the cultivation of the academy, all of them are more exquisite in learning, and their souls are gradually becoming more powerful than ordinary people.

When reviewing the examination papers, it is natural to be very attentive.

Therefore, for a long time, the reviewers below were found to be wrong and reprimanded by the above in order not to make mistakes. The first emphasis is on the eight-strand text, because the structure of the eight-strand essay is rigorous, and the advantages and disadvantages of right and wrong make the examiner who has been immersed in the eight-strand essay clear at a glance, and the effort of marking the paper is greatly saved.

Therefore, the Great Liang Dynasty did not attach importance to Baguwen at the beginning, but the development of world affairs, and the examiners below deliberately leaned towards this aspect in order to be lazy, and went on for a long time to form unspoken rules.

As the first pass of the imperial examination, the Tong Shengchu test is the first to weigh eight shares.

The same is true for the township test.

It's just that there is another system for picking up the missing in the township examination, and some papers with outstanding literary talents and obvious personal characteristics will be re-selected by the examiner if they are beaten down, and they will have a second chance.

These people are often the heads of the state capitals who accidentally fall down, and they have always been quite famous.

In addition, the policy is biased towards personal style, not as rigid and rigorous as Baguwen, so it is easy to recognize.

This has also led to the fact that the heads of the state capitals are more likely to be prosecuted.

As for the head of a small three-yuan case like Qin Chuan, the style of the natural article is more eye-catching.

"The destruction of the Six Kingdoms is not good for non-soldiers, the war is not good, and the disadvantage is in bribing Qin; Bribing Qin and losing his strength, the way to ruin is also ......"

A policy essay called "The Theory of the Six Kingdoms" appeared in the eyes of Fan Shixing, the chief examiner of this township examination. The others are mortal fetuses, he was born in the Hanlin Academy, and studied in the academy for a period of time, and now he has come out of the academy to be an official, and the first one is to be released to Yujiang Province to do the township examination.

After reviewing the eight-strand essay, he was going to find some strategic articles to wash his tired eyes, so he found this one. After opening the test paper, take a closer look.

But seeing the handwriting of this test paper, like a pen walking a dragon and a snake, the words came out of the green air, and my heart was greatly shocked.

"Famous through the ages!"

"The owner of the article should be the first in the township test."

Seeing that Fan Shixing was excited, other tired examiners also came to have fun, and after seeing the strategy article, they were all surprised.

"What the examiner said is right, the owner of this article does not take the first name, and I will be made fun of after the ages." There is an examiner who echoes.

If it were on weekdays, it would definitely be considered a sycophant for the exam.

But when I saw the article, I was convinced.

They won't be able to write anything like this for another 10 or 20 years.

"The dynasty uses eight shares to take scholars, and this student can still make such eloquent writings, and his talent is really difficult to hide."

"Qin's annihilation of the Six Kingdoms, this life seems to be extremely familiar, the historical materials are complicated, and it is rare for a student to have this insight outside the classics."

Even for the children of the gentry's family, it is not easy to understand history outside the classics. Because it's a very laborious thing to do, and the benefits are not high. Reading history and governing history, often after the examination is promoted, there is not so much pressure on the scientific examination, so they will focus on this.

Reading history makes people wise, and those who study history regularly are often prone to have original opinions. This kind of person is easy to achieve results or become famous in officialdom, at least he will have a lot of potential.

"Since everyone agrees that this article is the first, why don't you see who he really is? Otherwise, I thought about it next and had no intention of reading the papers. ”

Fan Shixing put forward an idea.

Although this is a bit illegal, it doesn't hurt to see it in front of everyone, and even spreading it is still a matter of gentleness.

After all, the right to speak is in the hands of these scholars.

With this eloquent article, they took the first place in their hometown test, which is really beyond reproach.

"Lingzhou Qinchuan."

The examiners said secretly: "Sure enough, it's him." ”

Fan Shixing said with a smile: "It seems that everyone has heard of Qin Sheng's name, no, I will have to call Qin Xie Yuan in the future." ”

"Adults have a discerning eye."

…

…

This day is the day of the township test list, the tolerance in the yamen is dressed in red, beating gongs and drums, and there are many villagers from Qincun and Zhengcun who came out to make a living in the city.

But the inn and Wuliuzhuang, Qin Chuan are not there.

Wang Fu came out to receive him and gave a big reward.

Wang Fu himself also hit the bottom of the second list, which happened to be ninety-nine.

Because the township test list is from the end to the top, he was the first to receive the news, and then rushed to the Liaozhai Inn to prepare to report the good news to Qinchuan.

Finally, the messenger and the villagers were sent away.

Wang Fucai took the time to ask Qingqing: "Where did your son-in-law go?" ”

He muttered in his heart, "Didn't Liuxian forget that today is the day of the township test list, this is unlikely." Liuxian has always been meticulous in his heart, and it is impossible to be careless here. ”

Qingqing wrote a note.

Wang Fu looked at Qingqing Juanxiu's handwriting, thought about himself, and couldn't help but feel ashamed. Fortunately, he was thick-skinned and pretended to be nothing, and read the contents of the note.

It turned out that Qin Chuan went out to visit friends.

The destination made Wang Fu quite envious - Yujiang Dragon Palace.

Since Liu Yi's biography, the dragon girl has become the dream lover in the hearts of many people. Liu Yi has become an outstanding representative of the soft rice man in everyone's hearts.

Liu Lao had heard of this, but he was a little helpless.

Obviously, Qin Chuan didn't deliberately depict this, and these people still had to say that he was a soft rice man.

The world misunderstands him too much.

And he had to sigh that everyone has jealousy.

If it weren't for his suave, handsome and chic, and outstanding literary talent, would the Dragon Mother have taken a fancy to him?

…

…

After receiving the invitation, Qin Chuan originally didn't plan to go, but thinking that Liu Lao's time was short, he also went. It's a good time to forget about the New Year.

And he hasn't been to Yujiang Dragon Palace yet.

I don't know how it is compared to the East China Sea Crystal Palace in the fantasy world?

Qin Chuan passed through the well and arrived in the Yujiang River, and was slowly and leisurely performing the water method, moving towards the Longgong Water Mansion without hurry.

Suddenly, there was a strange sound in the river, which turned into water waves and spread to Qinchuan. He looked over, and there was something black swaying in the distant waters.

For a moment, the black thing that could be seen in the distance was like a sharp arrow, speeding towards him.

The black thing is getting bigger and bigger, and when it comes closer, it lights up like a pearl, and Qin Chuan can clearly see that this is a chariot, decorated with pure black, but the whole thing is like flowing water, and he can't see half of the unnatural place.

There were two people sitting in the car, but under the car were pulled by two unknown water beasts, with four legs and a body like a snake.

When the chariot arrived in front of Qin Chuan's eyes, it suddenly stopped.

Qin Chuan recognized one of them, it was the green-shirted scribe who participated in the township test with him, this person also got the invitation of Liu Lao, and the person next to him did not have half of the earthly atmosphere, he should be a god.

"In Xialu Gongzi, now he is the god of Qinghe River, and he has seen Qin Jieyuan."

The surname is Lu, and the name is Gongzi.

What a strange name.

But when he heard that the other party was the god of Qinghe, he was naturally Qin Lao's boss. The Qing River is also a major tributary of the Yu River. In a sense, Qinghe is a subordinate of Yujiang Dragon Palace.

"The river god doesn't have to be polite, it's just that the list was released today, and the river god knows the results of the township test so quickly?"

Lu Gongzi smiled and said: "As a god, I always have some sensitivity to such a major event as the new Xie Yuan in this province. Unexpectedly, Qin Xie Yuan and Xu Shou Daoyou are both cultivators. Xu Daoyou and I met by chance on the road, and he also mentioned you. ”

Xu Shou is a green-shirted scribe, he was invited by Lu Gongzi to attend the banquet of the Dragon Palace, but he didn't expect to meet Qin Chuan on the road. He was not surprised that Qin Chuan took Xie Yuan.

Now that he met Qin Chuan in the waters, he overturned his conjecture that Qin Chuan had cultivated Haoran righteousness, but he didn't expect that the other party was actually a cultivator.

Except for his instinctive jealousy of Qin Chuan, he really couldn't see Qin Chuan's specific doorway just from his appearance.

Xu Shou's heart fluctuated, and he also saluted Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan knew the origin of Xu Shou in this way.

"It turns out that he is the leader of the Pure Sect. The Taoist priest in Qingfeng Village in Panlong Mountain is from the Qingjing Gate, and now he has changed his name to the Qingjing Sect and is independent from the Wenxiang Sect. ”

The god of the land and the god of marriage are not vegetarians, and the news is very well-informed.

Moreover, Yuhu and Bingyan will naturally hear a lot of gossip and tell Qin Chuan some news about the cultivation world.

So the three of them went to Yujiang Dragon Palace together.

On the way, Qin Chuan chatted with Lu Gongzi, only to know that the old dragon's time was short, and it was for the long dragon life. Although he abdicated to give way to Sun, the time was not long, but this short time is almost a long life for mortals......

But now it does look like he is going to die.

The old dragon's remaining breath can't even swallow a single jiazi.

In fact, it is also a deterrent.

There will be updates in the evening.
