Under the nervous and respectful gaze of the candidates, the father-in-law slowly spoke.

"This exam is divided into 12 small fields, including three rounds of herbs, pills, formations, and runes. ”

"Now, the game is officially on!"

As he fell, nine salutes and hundreds of fireworks were fired at the same time, and Jingyuntian instantly became dim, and colorful fireworks shone in the air. Fireworks are easy to get cold, but they can warm people's hearts.

The original nervous mood was gradually relaxed at this moment.

The fireworks were printed on Xixi's little face, Qiao Guang looked at her with a smile, Xixi's smile was always so clean, not mixed with a little impurity, expectation, curiosity, and joy were all revealed.

After the start of the exam, everyone returned to their seats, and a translucent wall was erected between the seats, and only vague figures could be seen, but they could not see what was being done next door, nor could they hear the sound.

"The first round, herbaceous science, please look at the question!"

The void projected the first round of herbaceous questions, first there were wisps of lines, as if gradually outlining something, about half a pillar of incense, the shape of a flower outlined out, only to see the chief examiner standing at the front, that is, the long-winded father-in-law waved his hand to dust, this flower seemed to be instantly endowed with life, adding color, adding smell, like a living flower, half-wrapped suspended in front of everyone.

"Xuanyin Holy Flower!"

At the moment when this flower completely emerged, such a voice appeared in the hearts of all the candidates almost at the same time, and some even called the name of the flower directly, but fortunately, the soundproof formation was done well, otherwise they could hear their respective answers.

"Below, you have two incense sticks, you can operate on the flower in front of you, whether it is observation or dissection, after two incense sticks, submit the name of this flower!"

"It's that simple!"

Everyone below exclaimed, each of them couldn't hear each other's voices, but the chief examiner, as well as the judges sitting on the throne, could hear their voices, and at this time they were talking to themselves, all lamenting how the first leg of this last game was easier than the previous knockout round.

One of the judges suddenly touched his long beard, smiled lightly, looked at the reactions of the crowd, and shook his head again.

The judges then looked at each other and smiled, not knowing what they were thinking.

The examinees at the bottom are active, some candidates who are not herbaceous candidates, the eyeballs are all spinning, although they can also skip this question and not answer, not only will they not be scored if they answer wrong, but they will also be deducted points, but everyone has some basic skills in the herb department, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is the Xuanyin Holy Flower is good, why not answer this question together, then in the end, maybe you can have an extra question score advantage?

They thought about it, clapped their hands, and decided to do it!

In the pride and surprise of everyone, some people frowned, probably worried about whether there was fraud in this first round, how could it be so simple, could it be that we were afraid that we were too nervous, so we deliberately came to send a score question?

However, sometimes, the question may become a proposition.

Some people hesitated, flipped this flower back and forth dozens of times, and some people directly destroyed the flower with their hands, but they just couldn't see any fame, so they could only walk into the big team with their heads and write the name of Xuanyin Holy Flower.

But there are also people who are still frowning, such as Jiang Shan.

And our Sissy, for example.

Jiang Shan is not from the herb family, she originally wanted to answer the Xuanyin Holy Flower, and then she could have an extra score advantage. But what is strange is that after hesitating for a long time, she shook her head and clicked the "abstain" button.

This was the first abstention. Later, many candidates also had yellow lights above their seats, indicating that they had abstained. When they see that many herb candidates give the same answers as they had thought before, many people beat their chests and feel sorry for the fact that they should have been decisive at that time, so that they could have answered correctly, but now they may be distanced by others.

Jiang Shan kept staring at Xixi, and as for the others, she didn't care.

When she saw that Sissy hadn't reacted for so long, she felt

This question is not as simple as it seems.

If according to the proportion of candidates who took this last exam, the proportion of students who were not herbal medicine accounted for at least three-quarters, but at this time, less than half actually abstained, it can be seen that a considerable number of candidates from other subjects also chose to answer this question.

"There is still a pillar of incense time"

The father-in-law's voice sounded slowly, and many people had already pressed "submit", and the green light was on above the seats.

But Sissy was still thinking about it.

She gently pressed her little chin against her little chin and said to herself: "Xuanyin Holy Flower, if it is according to the characteristics recorded in the Baicao Dictionary, there are black barbs at the root, the petals are pale yellow, and the stamens are fragrant for a long time. ”

"On the surface, the features fit perfectly, but I always felt something weird. Sissy was still hesitating.

"There is also the last half of the incense, please pay attention to the time!"

Cissy didn't pay any attention to the fact that time was passing quickly, and her attention was completely focused on the flower, and the movement of the outside world could not disturb her.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, she grabbed one of the suspended tweezers and began to dissect the flower.

Qiao Guang looked at Xixi from afar, and said that a serious woman looks very attractive, and sure enough, the more she looks at it, the more itchy her heart is.

Finally, Sissy breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and showed a smile that she hadn't seen for a long time. She looked up at the incense burning above, and the little bit was about to burn out, and quickly handed in her answer.

"When the time comes, please stop answering!"

The father-in-law's voice sounded again, and the next moment, the screens in front of all the candidates to answer disappeared, and the soundproof formation also disappeared.

People looked at each other, some knew their peers, or the candidates of other subjects knew the masters of the herb department, they were happily looking for each other's answers, and after learning that each other's fills were all Xuanyin Holy Flowers, they looked at each other and smiled, revealing a proud smile unique to the winner.

The results of the answers have all been summarized in the hands of the judges, and after a while, the father-in-law stood up again and read out the results.

"A total of 653 answers were received in this round, of which 561 were Xuanyin Sacred Flowers. ”

Hearing this, some people were surprised, and some people were disappointed, most of the surprises were candidates who were good at other subjects but answered this question, thinking that they had taken advantage, and those who were disappointed felt that there were too many people who would do this question, and they were distressed that they couldn't open the gap.

"Now, I'm going to pick a few random people and explain the basis for your answers. ”

"Feng Xun, your answer is the Xuanyin Holy Flower, please tell me your reason. The father-in-law said.

I saw a young man raise his head excitedly, pointed at himself in disbelief, and after learning that he was really flopped, he quickly stood up and made up his mind to perform well, leaving a good impression on the examiners, maybe he could add points.

Feng Xun said his reasons loudly, strongly restrained his excitement, and said the characteristics of the Xuanyin Holy Flower in as calm a tone as possible.

After he finished speaking, his father-in-law nodded and named a person again, his answer was not the Xuanyin Holy Flower, but as soon as he said the basis, countless people stood up to refute it, and finally ended hastily.

"The last Husisi, please stand up and tell us the basis for your answer. ”

Sissy was thinking about what type of question would be next, and was suddenly named, stunned, and stood up.

The father-in-law squinted his eyes, looked at this cute little girl, put on a look that he thought was very kind and easy-going, and said with a smile: "If I'm not mistaken, your answer is not the Xuanyin Holy Flower?"

Xixi respectfully made a blessing salute and said, "If you go back to your lordship, the little woman's answer is indeed not the Xuanyin Holy Flower. ”

"Well, okay, now you elaborate on your reasons for writing this answer. The father-in-law was interested and smiled.

The flower just reappeared in front of Sissy, and with it was suspended with the tweezers.

"On the surface, this flower is indeed a Xuanyin Sacred Flower, whether it is color, flower appearance or smell, it is extremely similar, even I thought so at the beginning. ”

There was an uproar underneath, could it be that there was some mystery hidden?

"But look, everybody. ”

I saw Cissy pick up the tweezers, carefully pick open the half-closed petals, and then pick the stamens.

"When I

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

When I got the flower, I noticed that it was half-folded, that is, it was about to bloom without opening. ”

Hearing Xixi's words, everyone sighed in their hearts, and seemed to have a bad premonition.

"As far as I know, the description of the Xuanyin Sacred Flower in the Baicao Dictionary, although it has those characteristics, although it is not specifically indicated, can be seen from the drawings and descriptions, after flowering. ”

Xixi said unhurriedly, as if she was not a candidate now, but a little teacher who solved the doubts of many students.

"So before it blooms, will there be those characteristics? I don't know, because I haven't seen the real Xuanyin Sacred Flower either, so I've been hesitating until I find out. ”

Cissy suddenly smiled playfully, and completely opened the half-held petals, releasing the hidden stamens inside.

The stamens are very thin and tender, green and hard, and they look like they are not ripe.

Then a green glow emanated from the palm of Sissy's hand, and a warm light enveloped the small flower, like the sun's rays that allow all things to grow, representing countless vitality.

Gradually, the petals open, and the stamens become soft and intimate.

And the barbs at the roots are gradually melting!

Everyone was amazed!

If there is no such iconic feature after flowering, it means that this is not a Xuanyin holy flower at all!

In fact, in the Hundred Herbs, the next page of the Xuanyin Sacred Flower mentions another flower, they have similar names and similar characteristics, but the petals are not pale yellow, but pale red, and there are no barbs generated by yin qi at the root, and the fragrance will not make people feel dizzy, but will be of great benefit to the body. ”

"Could it be that this is the case"

Someone opened his mouth in surprise, and the answer was about to come out.

"All things are negative yin and embrace yang, and they are impulsive and peaceful. That's right, this is disguised, Xuanyang Holy Flower!"

After Xixi's voice fell, the judges burst into applause one after another, and one of the judges laughed heartily and said: "Okay!

The judge's eyes couldn't hide their appreciation, and they laughed loudly: "The answer to this question is the Xuanyang Holy Flower!"

"When I read your answers, I found that so many people have fallen behind, which is really sad! You know, there are thousands of kinds of medicinal herbs in the world, how many of them are extremely similar, and how many of these extremely similar herbs are completely opposite in medicinal properties?"

This judge is none other than the senior of Xu Pengbo, who has studied the mechanism of action of herbs and pills.

"The duties of the herbalist are much heavier than you think! Day and night, have you ever thought about how many dead and wounded soldiers on the front line? I can responsibly tell you that the youngest of the soldiers who died on the battlefield was only eleven or twelve years old!"

Hao Pengbo's words were loud, and everyone was listening quietly, but their hearts were unconsciously shocked.

He became very serious: "If we herbalists join in, it is very likely that we will take back the lives of those dying soldiers from the hands of death! If we even make a mistake in identifying medicinal herbs, then we are not going to save people, but to kill, to help the enemy monsters kill our compatriots, and to kill the warriors who fought bloodily to protect us!"

"In real life, you may encounter all kinds of herbs that are no longer the same as they were, but are wrapped in layers of nature, and sometimes even the herbs do not help you identify them well. At this time, a great herbalist is needed who can uncover this layer of mask and use the most suitable herb to exert the maximum effect. ”

He Pengbo looked at the many candidates, and the last trace of indifference on their faces had gradually faded, replaced by that touch of perseverance.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't care about the qualifications of the herbalist, what was a series of honors after passing the imperial examination, and even the results of this last game, he thought it was just a floating cloud, and if it was wrong, he would deduct points mercilessly, and if he answered correctly, like Xixi, he performed so well, he did not hesitate to give praise and that amazing perfect score.

There is nothing important other than life and death.

What he wants is this group of people who can really do something for this country and the human world when they go out in the future.

In this way, in his opinion, the significance of the Great Pilgrimage Test is enough.
