"Haha, whatever it is, you'll find out in a moment. Remember, tell me when you come out. In Zhoufu, the part of the literary examination is a legend. Everyone knows that there is such a strange rule, but not many people know what it is. Remember to tell me about it when you come out!"

Ouyang Zishi greeted everyone with a smile. In the Martial Palace, the crowd is getting smaller and smaller, and all the people who have been eliminated and are not qualified to participate in the martial arts examination have all gone outside.

Ouyang Zishi saw that it was almost there, said hello to the two, and then walked out with a smile.

The martial arts hall of Youda was only empty for a while, and the remaining candidates were sparse, and the number was less than one percent of the previous one

"No wonder it didn't feel right when I came here today, it turns out that these people already knew. ”

Yang Ji looked at the elite armor soldiers in the hall who were more than the candidates, and the doubts in his heart when he remembered it, he suddenly sighed. Now it seems that my feelings are not wrong.

The guards knew one step ahead of themselves that there would be a literary exam today. The literary test has little to do with them anymore. Naturally, you don't need to pay too much attention.

After all the bystanders and eliminated candidates left, the remaining candidates were immediately clear at a glance. Yang Ji raised his eyes and immediately estimated that there were almost only more than two hundred candidates left out of the two or three thousand candidates.

That's still a lot!

"I don't know what the so-called quota in the court is?"

This thought passed through his mind, and Yang Ji quickly heard the voice of the chief examiner from the imperial capital in front of him.

"Everybody come to the front!"

The eyes of the chief examiner in full clothes swept over the audience, with a high-spirited and majestic expression.

"Let's go too!"

Yang Ji and Ouyang Zhuming glanced at each other and walked forward together. At the same time, the candidates scattered in all directions also walked in the direction of the examiners.

Near the ring on the far north side. A group of people stopped.

First of all, congratulations on your success so far. Presumably, many of you already know that the next part of the martial arts examination will be the literary examination part of the martial arts examination. ”

The chief examiner's voice was loud, like Hong Zhong Dalu:

"You have all listened to me about the rules of the literary examination. After a while, a gate will open in the martial hall, and all of you will follow this gate, one by one. No crowding. It is also not allowed to enter two people at the same time. ”

"Hard work doesn't necessarily pay off, but making yourself strong will definitely pay off. I can tell you with certainty that most of you will be eliminated!"

"Buzz!"

Hearing the examiner's merciless words, the hall was immediately buzzing. Many had nervous looks on their faces.

Everyone comes with hope. No one wants to be eliminated.

However, it is obvious that the feelings and moods of the candidates and students are not considered by the ranking examiners in the hall. In my ears, I only heard the voice like a big bell, and continued:

“...... All those who enter the passage, and those who stay in a pillar of incense and cannot pass through, will be eliminated. Those who feel incompetent can also retreat on their own. We do not advocate going to the test takers to try it very hard. Do what you can't do!"

"Warning, the essay exam will cause you some harm. If you feel that you can't get through, you can retreat on your own. If you are reluctant, you will bear all the consequences!"

There was a buzz in the hall, a little bigger than just now. The fact that the literary examination part of the martial arts examination will be dangerous is completely beyond everyone's expectations. Even Yang Ji was extremely surprised.

"What the hell is going on? Is it possible that the article is elegant, and there is still a risk in the cross-examination of war strategies?"

Yang Ji was completely incomprehensible. But looking at the serious faces of the examiners, this is obviously not a joke. Yang Ji was suddenly extremely curious.

This time when he went to Taiyuan Prefecture to participate in the martial arts examination, Yang Ji's mind was all on his potential opponents. The literary examination part of the martial arts examination was not taken seriously by Yang Ji at all.

But now. Yang Ji realized that he might be wrong. The posture of this part of the examination seems to be more rigorous than the previous competition of the martial arts examination, and it is still full of challenges. It's also hard to get through.

The blunt "most of you will be eliminated" is enough to make anyone take it lightly. Yang Ji was really curious to the extreme, what is the difference between the literary test of the lifting test and the literary test of the children's examination and the Xiucai examination. Enough to make the imperial court so big and so important?

"However, if you can make it. Then congratulations, you are a big step away from the position of the Wuju people, and you are also a big step away from success!"

Maybe it was because it was too much of a blow to everyone's confidence. The examiner's voice changed and eased a lot:

"Those who successfully pass the essay section will receive a six-day break. That's the adjustment time for the martial arts examination, and you can do what you want to do as much as you want. ”

"In addition, I can tell you in advance that there are definitely not many people who have the same rights as you. Maybe less than you can imagine. Just defeat them and you will have the final success. Won the fame of the martial arts people in one fell swoop!"

"Hard work pays off! Whether you can be named in the gold list in this year's martial arts examination and leave your name in the Zhou Chronicles of Taiyuan Continent depends on your own hard work. So, come on, for your efforts, for your career, and for your own destiny!"

"Roar!"

The crowd, who was still depressed at first, was mobilized by the examiner's last words, and roared excitedly one by one. That's right, career, destiny...... Isn't this the original intention of participating in the martial arts examination? It is also something hidden in the blood of every candidate!

No one thinks of themselves as losers, everyone comes with hope!

"Boom!"

Not long after the examiner's words, only a loud rumbling sound was heard, and behind the examiner, a heavy steel door that everyone had never seen, never noticed, and never opened, rumbled slowly.

In the martial hall, the excited crowd suddenly quieted down.

The ideal is plump, and the reality is skinny. No matter how inspiring the examiner from Dijing is, and no matter how tempting the future after success is, this slowly opening door is the reality of the situation in front of everyone.

"Lai!"

The rules of the essay examination were announced, and several examiners turned around in unison and entered the newly opened door. Leaving only one examiner behind him and the elite armor soldiers who maintained order in the hall.

"The essay test begins after a cup of tea!" All candidates who hear their names immediately enter the passage......

At the door, a stiff-looking deputy examiner stood by the door. With his back to the wall, he was meticulous.

"It's finally begun!"

Yang Ji took a deep breath. Frankly, the steel gate was smaller than expected, less than half the size of the others. There is a curtain hanging down at the door, and at a glance, it is really difficult to know what is famous in this passage.

And the rule that only one candidate is allowed to enter at a time is also very strange, at least two literary exams have been taken, and the candidates who have always been going to the exam have entered together, and Yang Ji has never encountered this situation.

"Senior Brother Ouyang said that the martial arts examination part of the Zhou Mansion is different from the county, and I don't know what the difference is?"

Yang Ji said secretly in his heart.

In the essay section, he only thinks about it and thinks about it, but only things like history, strategy, and the art of war. Otherwise, add some customs and other exquisiteness. But if this is the case, it is not worth such a big move by the imperial court.

All Yang Ji became more and more curious in his heart.

The time for half a cup of tea passed quickly, and the deputy examiner at the gate took out a roster from his sleeve and began to roll call:

"No. 432, Zhang Leng......"

One name after another came out of the mouth of the deputy examiner. The candidates whose names were called opened one by one opened the curtain and entered the door.

Yang Ji noticed that when the deputy examiner called the name, the time interval between one candidate and another candidate entering the passage was relatively long. It seems that time is deliberately given to the previous candidate.

"If you come in, you will be safe, no matter what form it takes, you will know it when you get inside. ”

Yang Ji simply closed his eyes and silently waited for the time to click his name. The hall was very quiet, and Yang Ji could feel the tense atmosphere floating in the void without looking.

No one said it, but there was no doubt that they were nervous.

Candidates went in one by one. The order of entry does not seem to be in the order of the size of the candidates' number plates, but seems to be in some sort of internal arrangement of the examiners.

Time passed in this silence, and it felt as if it was incomparably long, and the number of people around me decreased one by one. There were fewer and fewer people left in the main hall, and even Ouyang Zhuming's aura disappeared from his side, obviously, he had already entered.

I don't know how long it took, but in this long wait, Yang Ji finally heard his name:

"Next, No. 23, Yang Ji!"

"Buzz!"

Like a flash of lightning flashing through his mind, Yang Ji's heart moved, and he opened his eyes violently. The hall was sparsely populated, and there were less than fifty candidates left.

Just in front of the candidate, Yang Ji saw the deputy examiner with a dignified face and a rigid demeanor looking at him, with a serious face:

"Yang Ji, it's you!

"Phew!"

Yang Ji took a deep breath, calmed down, and quickly separated the crowd and walked over. His pace is neither fast nor slow, giving him a sense of composure.

In front of the steel gate, the curtain hung down, looking at this passage, Yang Ji suddenly felt slightly nervous in his heart. Behind you, you can feel a pair of eyes falling on you.

There was also the voice of the deputy examiner urging in his ears:

"Remember the rules, don't force it, get in quickly!"

Yang Ji didn't hesitate any longer, lifted the curtain and walked in.

"That's it?"

Walking behind the curtain and looking at the scene in the passage, Yang Ji was in a daze. (To be continued......)
