Volume I, Chapter XVI, Chapter XIX
In the night, the soldiers were not dispersed, and the hall was brightly lit.
At this time, the county can rest, and the four hundred examination papers are placed on the tables of the three examiners, but they are not vague.
In order to avoid fraud, the name system on the earth seals all the information and information that may cheat in the name and place of origin of the candidate, and even makes the subordinates copy it, and even does not recognize the handwriting, so that the examiner and the examiner cannot know the information of the paper.
Over time, the most reasonable and fair means of proving the obscurity on the planet is to be obscured.
But in this world, it doesn't have to be like this, this is the result of the combined influence of divine power, luck, and culture.
Unlike the examiners on Earth, these three examiners are at least as human beings, and they all practice the Dao Method, and although they cannot live forever, they also provide them with vigorous energy and physical strength, making it extremely fast and efficient to distinguish papers.
Four hundred examination papers, one by one, repeatedly weighed and discussed according to the article, until late at night, the first fifty volumes were selected, and several people automatically stopped.
"My lord, I'm done. ”
"Just choose it!" The examiner wiped his sweat, looked at the golden copper seal hanging on the top, and ordered: "Go and invite two real people to come!"
After saying this, he breathed a sigh of relief, the rest is not his business, of course, these two people can't be called real people, but this is an honorific title.
"Yes!" There was a voice outside, in fact, these two Taoists were not far away, just drinking tea in the side hall and waiting.
Sure enough, the next moment there was the sound of footsteps, the rhythm was steady, the examiner squinted, got up to look, and saw two Taoists coming in at the door, wearing green robes, clogs on their feet, with clear eyebrows and handsome eyes, and a lofty spirit, which were the two Taoists that Ye Qing met on the road.
The two examiners stood up and saluted: "I've seen a real person!"
The two Taoists replied: "I've seen two adults!"
After that, he stopped talking nonsense and looked directly at the examiner: "Can we start?"
The typical Taoist style, mainly because it is generally an obligation, and there is not much power and benefit in it, so it is very cold, and the examiner is used to it, just the jaw.
Once agreed, I saw that the Taoist no longer said much, and bowed to the golden copper seal, and after the ceremony, one of them went up and pressed it, only to see the copper seal golden light bright, followed by a dark.
"This is to let go of the suppression of the literary qi and present the realm of magic weapons, everyone wait a minute. ”
In a moment, there was a trace of Wen Qi in the four hundred volumes, at first it was a faint white Wen Qi, and then it became more and more thick, but after a while, it was seen that some of them stopped growing.
Everyone waited patiently, and after a while, the rich white scroll further differentiated into red, shining brilliantly in the empty auditorium, but there was a golden scroll, only slightly red, which was the most eye-catching!
Seeing that most of the red scrolls were within fifty volumes, the examiner breathed a sigh of relief, and the examiner in the middle sighed: "This is all the brainchild of the sages, and with this magic weapon, people who can't open their eyes can also see it!"
The two Taoists ignored these, looked at them, and found that most of the literary qi was in fifty volumes, so they took out a scroll and filled it with "good grade"!
This is actually a supervision of the examiners, indicating that the process and results of the selection of the essays are still quite reasonable and fair, and the three examiners are all smiling and signing under the paper.
After receiving the following, these two Taoists cast spells again, pressed on the copper seal, and the golden light on the seal was immediately extinguished: "This is to let go of all the luck suppression of the scroll!"
"Boom!" At this moment, the entire 400 documents immediately showed their own luck, all of which appeared in the field, in addition to the literary spirit, there was also personal and family luck.
Suddenly, the qi of many scrolls grew rapidly, and after a while, when all of them were stable, I saw more than sixty qi lucks rushing up in the hall, many of which were golden, in comparison, the scrolls that were originally close to golden were inconspicuous, and the growth was not fast, and they could be squeezed to the edge of twenty at once, which made everyone a little surprised, could it be that the lord of this volume was a disciple of a poor family?
With this kind of doubt, several examiners judged according to the standard of the depth of luck and ranked these twenty!
Da Cai's Law: Take the scholar by the text, and take the order by the qi.
In fact, after the Red Emperor determined the Daomen imperial examination, for hundreds of thousands of years, all dynasties have been like this.
In this process, the Taoist did not interfere in any way, and watched the examiner arrange them, and put some of the fifty volumes, which were originally backward, to the front, with an expressionless face.
Waiting for the examiner to finish arranging, he turned over and put the copper seal into his sleeve, and as soon as the magic weapon was gone, all kinds of colorful luck were suddenly gone.
The hall was empty again, and the candles were shining.
The three examiners were a little stunned, according to the principle of rotation and avoidance, if there was no accident, they would never see this scene again in their lives.
"Let's double-check the original volume...... The number of children in the county this time is twenty!"
Ye Qing ...... It's the volume just now, the text is the first, it's a pity that the luck is insufficient!" The examiner took out the original paper, remembered the young man, sighed in his heart, and recorded the name: "Ye Qing, take the nineteenth place, what do you think?"
At this moment, a voice came from the door: "Lord County Cheng has arrived!"
The Taoist and the examiner stood up and looked.
Before the person arrived, the three-foot light reflected the spiritual eye, brilliant and bright.
Then came an official about the Chinese New Year's Eve, with a self-respecting demeanor and majesty, it was the county Cheng Lu Ming, but on such an occasion, he did not hide it and let himself go.
"Three feet of clear light shines, comprehend the metaphysics, just one foot away from the door, point out the road and the law diaphragm, you can truly achieve...... This Jinshi Dao is really fast compared to the difficult cultivation of my generation!"
The two Taoists were awe-inspiring for a while, and made another joke: "I've seen Taoist friends." ”
The three examiners stepped forward and saluted: "I've seen adults!"
The county man just bowed his hand to the Taoist and the examiner: "Literary affairs are major events, national affairs, and great merits, so I have to pay you a lot of trouble." ”
"The way of heaven is clear, the legal net is restored, how dare you redeem your duties?" the Taoist smiled.
That's true. The county magistrate stepped to the desk and sat down: "Have you agreed?"
"The top 20 have been decided, and the adults are invited to determine the ranking order at the end. The examiner held a stack of papers, saying that the county did not interfere in this process, but had the most veto power, and a county child must be signed by him before it could be promulgated.
The county didn't speak much, and read the twenty volumes one by one quietly.
These articles are all remarkable, but who is this county?
It is a list of fellow jinshi, it can be said that in addition to the comprehension of the avenue, everything else has been proficient, and he didn't pay attention to it at the moment, just swept it.
Until the nineteenth volume, I didn't look at the name, so I smiled slightly, and this trace made people feel comfortable: "If it's this person!"
Looking at this son's Moyi, discourse, and article carefully, it was a small surprise for him...... I saw that the style of the article was elegant, but the truth was pure, and it was an article that could enter the eyes of the Jinshi Method.
Seeing this, the county couldn't help but smile slightly, but he didn't look away.
The examiner looked at him, but said: "This volume is the first in terms of style, but it is a pity that it is unlucky, and it is excluded from the twenty, so the lower official ranks it as nineteen." ”
The county man glanced at him, did not speak, continued to see the twentieth volume, and casually in the fifty volumes, and read a few more volumes, and gradually frowned.
The most rearly county Cheng nodded with satisfaction and said, "You have done a good job, so come in this order." ”
The examiner listened, saluted respectfully, and said, "Yes, my lord, it's settled!"
A golden scroll, with moire on it, the examiner filled in the twenty one by one, arranged neatly, and wrote on July 13, the 11th year of Dacai Pingjing, Pingshou County Children's List!
After writing, the examiner looked solemn, took out a small seal, luckily, without ink, and printed it.
As soon as it was printed, the surface of the paper was suddenly dyed with golden yellow, and when the print left, there was a golden inscription on it.
At this time, the county took out a seal, and also covered it, and the paper that had not faded was suddenly dyed with golden yellow, and after the seal left, a golden seal also appeared.
The last thing is that the Taoist took out a seal, stamped it, and the three seals were complete, and the twenty names on the scroll suddenly lit up.
This shows that twenty names have been recognized and achieved the status of children.
Seeing this, the county boy waved his hand: "Then it will be promulgated on a later date." ”
"Yes!" Both the Taoist and the examiner should be, waiting to raise their heads, both of them were relaxed, and this one was completed.
When the county saw that the matter was done, he changed his color, looking like a spring breeze: "Come, it's late at night, there is a simple banquet, please move." ”
The Taoist and the examiner do not shirk, this is the right word, and it should be done at the moment.
At this time, the night was deep, and the surroundings were shrouded in darkness and gloomy sky, and the lights were lit around, and it was raining in autumn, and the raindrops fell with the wind.
Moved to the small hall, but it was a single seat, everyone in front of them was the same four dishes and one soup, there was a glass of ginseng wine to replenish the vitality, and a pot of fruit slices was served for casual use.
Several people were very satisfied, and the examiner talked about the process, and said with a sigh: "I have read this Ye Qing's article, it is indeed the first, but unfortunately the luck is lower...... He's not a child of the Ye Clan?"
The county Cheng smiled slightly: "I know this!"
As he spoke, he told Ye Qing about it one by one, except for the copper cup and the murder incident, even Ye Qing's scheming reaction was very clear, and he smiled: "This son has some scheming, it is estimated that it will cause dissatisfaction in the clan, so the luck obtained is much less." ”
"No wonder, the Ye clan is also a big clan in the county, and they won't have so little luck, and they all fell out of the twenty. When the examiner heard this, he sighed with some emotion and said: "If it weren't for the real literary talent, maybe I wouldn't even be ranked nineteenth, and I would have been degraded this time." ”
"The imperial court has a system, what can I do?" the county Cheng smiled: "But it's better to let this son bet right, and it's not a Jinshi list, even if the child is nineteen, he is still a child, but he can't miss a penny!"
Speaking of which, the county Chengtu was a little sad, he himself was the third rank of the same jinshi, and this line gap may take a lifetime, and he may not be able to catch up.
This is the number of lives?
