Chunfeng Daoist and Guanyun Daoist were blasted out of Junshan Temple, looking at the two limping and helping each other to leave, Long Qingzhen and Jingxing suddenly turned around and saluted Zhao Ranshen: "This time, thank you Zhao for presiding over justice!"

Zhao Ran hurriedly said: "The two of you don't have to be like this, Poor Dao walks in Long'an Mansion, this is a matter of duty." If there is anything else in danger, such as if these two guys dare to seek revenge, they should be informed. Well, you two haven't been penalized yet...... This is the news flying symbol, and I will know that something is going on after it is sent, and I will arrive at it. ”

"Thank you Zhao Xingxing! What will Zhao Xingxing send in the future, although our mana is low, we are willing to do our best. ”

Zhao Ran smiled: "By the way, do you participate in this year's awarding competition?"

Long Qingzhen hurriedly said: "The day before yesterday, I received a book from the White Crane Lingjun, and we will definitely participate in this awarding competition." I'm afraid that my ability is low, and I won't be able to fight others when the time comes. ”

Zhao Ran said: "You go back to the good life and look at the announcement, this time the award is different from the past, and it is not known if the two of you can pass it." ”

To tell the truth, this pair of double monks is still very much in Zhao Ran's eyes, the man is elegant and calm, the woman is handsome and beautiful, and it is very popular to take it with him.

Zhao Ran waited for these two people to take the opportunity to come up, as long as they spoke, could they still not give a pointer? It's a pity that the two of them were honest and sincere, and they didn't even think about this, but just said respectfully: "I must go back to have a good life and think about it carefully." ”

This made people speechless, okay, Zhao Ran didn't know if the two of them really didn't understand, or didn't have the heart to go their own way, so he could only smile and send them away.

On the way back to Yangcao Mountain, Long Qingzhen said: "This Zhao walk, it is really different from other Taoist walks, not only fair, conscientious, but also temperamental, dare to act, and not afraid of offending the powerful, I really hope that he can do a few more years of walking in the Daomen of Long'an Mansion." ”

Jingxing Jushi also nodded and sighed: "That's the Jindan mage of the Shangsan Pavilion, not the Jindan mage of the Scattered Cultivation Sect, he said that he would be punished, which is really admirable." ”

Long Qingzhen held Jingxing's hand and encouraged: "This year's awarding competition, you and I must redouble our efforts, just now Zhao Xingxing is very expectant to you and me, we must not let him down!"

Returning to Yangcao Mountain, the two studied together the "Announcement on Matters Related to the Participation of Long'an Mansion Monks in the 20th Year of Jiajing" and "Outline of the 20th Year of Jiajing Long'an Mansion Conferral Competition".

After reading it, the two looked at each other.

"Not a fighting method?"

"It doesn't seem to be, well, it shouldn't be!"

Long Qingzhen and Jingxing couldn't help but be overjoyed, it turned out that the competition was not a fighting method, so wouldn't there be hope for the two of them?

Jingxing lay monk read word by word: "This contest is divided into three parts, including: the monk's cultivation ability test, the extension of the principles of the Tao and the face-to-face performance of the Tao method. Among them, the practical test and the essay are the written test links, and the interview is the hands-on part ......"

After reading it a few times, the two of them realized a little, so they continued to look down. Jing Xing continued: "The test questions involve six contents, which test the monk's logical judgment ability, analogical reasoning ability, common sense cognitive ability, quantitative relationship conversion ability, scripture and meaning analysis ability, and graphical reasoning ability......

"Argument is the giving of material from which to derive arguments and elucidate the origins, uses, and possible derivations of the Dao. The content of Taoism, including supernatural powers, Taoism, talismans, magic weapons, etc., ......"

"Interview, that is, according to the content of my application, on-site hands-on demonstration, explanation, evolution ......"

After reading it, the two of them thought for a long time and nodded. Long Qingzhen said: "I understand, Zhao Xingxing presided over this conferral competition, and he wanted to investigate the monk's perception and cognition of the cultivation avenue, to see who has more potential in cultivation and can go further in the future, rather than a simple fighting method." ”

Jingxing said: "Yes, the deep meaning is really admirable!"

After reading the previous part, followed by the example question style, the two of them started with their logical judgment ability. I saw an example titled:

A monk went to the northern desert to inspect and found that the number of snakes had dropped sharply, but almost at the same time, the number of wolves had increased significantly. Some believe that it was the wolf that caused the decrease in snakes. But this claim is difficult to hold, because wolves rarely feed on cobras.

Which of the following, if true, most weakens the above argument ()

A. Snakes eat rats, and rats are also the main food of wolves

B. Drought and lack of water affect snakes more severely than wolves

C. Before the wolf population increased, the number of snakes in the desert had decreased

Although the number of snakes has decreased sharply and the number of wolves has increased, the number of wolves in the desert is still less than that of snakes

This...... Long Qingzhen's head was getting lower and lower, and he wanted to shrink his whole body into the question, but he was slapped away by Jingxing Jushi and scolded: "Blocking me!"

After studying for a long time, this question still couldn't be answered, so the two of them continued to look at the next one. But it is an example of the ability to reason by analogy:

Which of the following is different about the correspondence between "Epistle Contents—Flying Notes"?

A. Spiritual power of the magic circle - array disk

B. Rune - Spirit Powder Sands

C. High-level flame - Yin and Yang fire talisman

Ding Leifa - Five Thunder God Talismans

That night, Long Qingzhen and Jingxing sat opposite each other all night and didn't eat a mouthful of food.

Not only on this side of Yangcao Mountain, but also on the entire territory of Long'an Mansion, all the cultivators, families, and casual cultivators, all the monks who meet the conditions for participating in the Great Competition, whether Huang Guan or the Master, as long as they want to participate in the Great Competition, have not slept well.

Spirit Snake Sect, the only disciple who meets the conditions for conferring this year is thinking hard about a question about the relationship between quantities, and after reading it for a long time, he can't get the essentials, so he has to go to his own master.

"Master, this year's conferral competition is going to take a written test, and after thinking about this question, I still don't know where to start, and I still ask Master to teach me. ”

The master took the question and looked at it, and read: "There is a pond in the garden, ten zhang long, five zhang wide, and one zhang five high, and water is poured from above, and 100 catties are poured into each moment, and at the same time, 30 catties are taken out at each moment. Q, when will it be full?"

After a pause, the master and the apprentice stared at each other, and after a while, the master scolded: "What kind of nonsense is this? If you want to fill water, why do you need to take water at the same time? Isn't this a troublemaker?

The apprentice said helplessly: "Master, don't care if you are making trouble, just talk about this question, what should I do?"

The master pondered for a moment, then chuckled: "The master has his own clever plan!"
