Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Exam Begins
The floating mountain view is quiet as usual.
The floating Taoist lay on a wicker chair and fell asleep.
Two gold-carved boys, one pinching his shoulders and the other beating his legs.
Someone came in, it was the thick eyebrows and Hua Daogu who had eaten in Sihailou before.
"Giggles, the life of the old Taoist is really enjoyable, and he is more happy than the immortals. ”
Hanamichi Gu smiled.
The Fusheng Daoist said indifferently: "Didn't the two of you go to the wrong door?"
The thick eyebrows raised his hand, showing a golden brand, on which a "nine" character dragon flying phoenix danced, very public.
The Fusheng Daoist smiled: "Pure gold medal, it should be valuable, you want to give it to me?"
Hua Daogu said: "Give it to you, I'm afraid you won't dare to take it." ”
"Tsk, scare Bendao?"
The floating Taoist didn't care at all.
Thick eyebrows shouted: "Hujiazhuang, what happened?"
The floating Taoist shrugged his shoulders: "The immortals are just fighting, and now they are all gone, scattered, you are only here now, and the efficiency is too low." Officials, all like this?"
"You!"
The thick eyebrows were annoyed in his heart, and he took a step forward, and he was imposing.
"You want to do it?"
The Fusheng Daoist exaggeratedly shouted, "Tell you, I am very familiar with your Li Zuo's commander." ”
The thick eyebrows snorted coldly, but he didn't move.
The floating Taoist waved his hand: "Let's go! It's all gone, don't toss in vain." ”
Hearing this, Hua Daogu and Thick Eyebrows glanced at each other, hesitated for a moment, and finally turned around and left the Taoist temple.
The Floating Daoist continued to lie down, allowing the two Dao Boys to pinch him.
From beginning to end, these two Taoist boys were docile and sweet, and they had not changed.
......
Today is the day to try to enter the venue.
Yin Guo's sub-test, the rules are different, the test is three days, two questions a day, a total of six questions.
Writing six articles in three days is quite intense.
The content of the exam questions, including historical theory, current policy, morality, etiquette, etc., covers a wide range.
The duration of the exam is three days, but you must enter the examination hall one day earlier. In order to prevent fraud and entrainment, the search was very strict and time-consuming.
When the candidates entered the venue, the gates were closed and the gates were completely blocked, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. Only after three days of exams can you open the door and go out.
In the early morning, Su Ling cooked early, let Chen Tang eat to his heart's content, and then rushed to the examination institute.
There, there were already more than a dozen people waiting at the door.
The examination is held once a year, and there are examination rooms all over Kyushu, and local students who meet the qualifications can apply for the examination.
However, due to the high re-examination fee, there are not too many candidates who apply for the exam every year. In each state examination institute and every sub-test, the test number is basically not full.
In this world, there are not many people who can read and write, and among them, a group of them have been screened out for the children's examination; those who have been admitted to the Xiucai examination but have no way to go to the academy to study, those who are not of good level, those who are old, and so on, and a large number of people have been filtered out, and the number of people who finally applied for the examination can be imagined.
For the entrance examination, you don't need to bring anything other than your clothes, and you don't need to bring anything else, and all of them are provided by the examination center. The bun and the like have to be disassembled and carefully checked.
Anyway, after a round of searching, no piece of paper can enter the venue.
Those who dare to cheat will be arrested immediately after being caught, put in prison, and deprived of their lifelong examination qualifications. Three years in prison is inevitable.
Successfully passed the inspection, took the number plate, and found the test number, it was a narrow small house, without a door, looking like a Buddhist shrine.
One by one, densely arranged.
This test number is three feet wide and about five feet deep, barely able to lie down on a person. It was simply set up, with two wooden planks, a charcoal fire, a candle, and a small wooden barrel for convenience.
There is nothing else.
The planks are placed side by side and can be used as a bed, and when making a fuss, one plank is stuck in the wall groove as a table, and the other is placed on the ground to sit.
The test number is circled, and there is a courtyard in the middle, with several large water tanks, filled with water, which belong to fire-fighting facilities.
After all, there are charcoal candles in every exam number, and there will be accidents.
Today is to enter the venue, no exam, the inspection takes time, it took most of the day, and when all the candidates enter the venue, the examination hall closes the door, and waits until dusk, there is finally something to eat.
The food is very simple, and the taste is poor, it is just a meatloaf, very hard, like biting a stone.
With a big appetite, this little thing is simply not enough to eat.
Due to the lack of convenience, many candidates do not drink water. lest there be more feces and urine, and it will be packed in a small bucket, which will stink and affect the state.
After slowly gnawing the meatloaf, Chen Tang did not merge the wooden planks, but sat directly, closing his eyes and recuperating.
For the next three days, I could only stay in this place, and it was not easy to turn around. Coupled with the lack of dietary nutrition, this is a big test for the candidate's physical strength.
Therefore, this exam is not only a test of learning, but also a test of the body and mental state.
Over the years, I don't know how many candidates have gone wrong in their bodies during the examination process, or they are physically exhausted, or they are sick, which has led to a sharp drop in their state and their names have fallen to Sun Shan.
But none of this is a matter for Chen Tang.
His body and bones are different from the past. The mental state is even more vigorous and full, even if you don't sleep for three days and three nights, there is no problem.
When it got dark, a group of candidates merged the planks early and went to sleep, so they had to take care of their spirits and start the exam tomorrow.
Chen Tang was still sitting.
On both wrists, there was a sudden faint pain, not so bad, as if someone was slowly pinching his flesh.
The teacher's stubbornness has flares up again.
Could it be that he sensed the atmosphere of the examination institute, so as to remind Chen Tang to take the exam well?
How can't you let go of this......
Chen Tang couldn't help but sigh, as far as he knew, the teacher had taken the lifting test five times in his life, and the last time he was supposed to be in his fifties.
I didn't take the test that time, so I finally gave up.
If you can't pass the exam this time, then the resentment will occur, which is not a joke......
Chen Tang thought, touched his hands together, touched the bruise marks on his wrists, and then exhaled, posed, and began the weekly operation of the "Sutra of Good Cultivation".
Others are here, "heaven", is this examination institute, at first a little distracted, but slowly, into the state.
Heaven and man are one, integrated into one.
Chen Tang felt that the breath of the little fish, after many days of recuperation, had grown slightly stronger, and it was more agile, passing through the meridians, and the tail was flicking, which was very pleasant.
I don't know how long it will take to raise this fish, I hope it won't be too long, otherwise, it will take decades, and it will be cool.
Nothing happened overnight, and the next day, when the time came, the first exam officially began, and the exam began:
"The way of the university is in Mingmingde, and virtue is the ......"
This topic is not that difficult.
After thinking about it for a while, Chen Tang began to sharpen the ink, then took the pen and drafted the draft on the manuscript paper first.
