Volume I, Chapter 15 Articles
The sundial gradually carved into noon, the sunlight shone into the hall, and fell on a copper seal, flashing with light, Ye Qing suddenly frowned.
Others may not think it, but the soul that has cultivated the Fa is very keen, and it feels stimulated by the yang energy at noon, and the evil qi of the town luck emitted by this copper seal becomes more and more intense.
The copper seal is dedicated to suppressing the life grid qi of students, whether it is the innate life grid or the acquired life grid, all kinds of qi numbers are suppressed in this courtyard.
Ye Qing felt this feeling, although he couldn't see it, he could usually feel that the vague aura was all gone, and it was obvious that he was suppressed.
This is "fair", but there must be pros and cons to one thing, and it is just another time, and the bad luck of the town will become strong at noon, and the composition at this time is not the town luck, but the bad luck.
Of course, this kind of thing, only the family secretly knows about it, but ordinary scholars don't know anything about it, Ye Qing was about to rest, so he lost his pen, calm down, anyway, when it comes to the lamp, there is still a lot of time.
The main hall is very large, but you can still see a sky in the distance, as well as a withered vine that climbs all over the wall, feeling the taste of autumn, Ye Qing's heart calmed down unconsciously!
Seeing that the hour had come, the three examiners got up and read out: "Noon has arrived, and you will be given food and drink, during which you can rest and not make noise, you are all county middle school students, and you must not mislead yourself by favoritism." ”
In fact, hundreds of thousands of years, there were always a lot of favoritism and cheating people in the early days, who were expelled from the examination room by the examiner, but after so many years, it is already common sense that the examination room cannot cheat.
Until now, it's basically a way to avoid the bad luck of the midday.
When the students below heard this, they all promised to make a promise, and many people stopped writing, but some people turned a deaf ear and continued to think and even write.
For this kind of thing, the examiner can only say that he is self-defeating and cannot be saved.
One of the examiners in the middle saluted to the county, and then bowed his hand to the other examiners: "The two invigilators will look at the examination room, and I will check if there is any deficiency in the diet." ”
Both examiners nodded when they heard this.
The examiner just went out and saw that the kitchen had already prepared, it was a basket of pancakes and some water, this was a free lunch.
It's not that the government is stingy, it's that the meat is easy to have stomach discomfort, if it is a sudden illness, is it better to appear, or not to appear?
There is a legal ban in the hall, but there is no outside the hall, how to prevent cheating?
Therefore, the tradition has been formed, and the Chinese food in the examination room is pancakes and water.
At this time, everyone was hungry, and when they saw that the pancakes were simple, they used vegetable oil, eggs, and noodles, and the aroma was spraying, so they took a big bite of them.
The examiner checked the leaks one by one, and there were no accidents, and I was satisfied.
Taking advantage of the fact that there was still some time, Ye Qing looked at the examination room carefully, and the county under the big seal only glanced at it, and then moved his gaze.
This is hard work, the county Cheng has to sit until the palm lamp in the morning, during which he can allow three toilets, don't look at the puppet, in fact, he maintains the order in the temple and the law prohibitions.
But that's the price, and there must be many people who can't ask for it.
After a while, after eating the pancakes, drinking the water, I felt that the sunlight was shifting, and the nature of the evil qi of the town was weakened, and I no longer destroyed the luck, so I picked up the last roll.
The last volume is really a stack of snow-white rice paper, with a line of black questions on it, although Ye Qing has read it, he still picks up the test questions again and looks at them carefully, and after a while, his heart is determined.
Although this topic is a bit out of the way, it is still in the children's exam, and it is not too out of line, so it is not difficult for him.
The only thing is to think carefully about which specific article you can use in your memory.
There are three thousand famous articles that have not yet been born in my memory, and some of them are even Taoist articles that shocked the world.
It's just that at this time and that time, Ye Qing will not be stupid enough to hang out the world-famous article in the children's test, it can be said that if at this time, the Jinshi Sanding (champion list eye tanhua) who once shook the Taoist court is thrown out, the only end is to report it to Kyoto immediately, and then report to the Taoist court.
In only one night, the Heavenly Court Daoist who was ordered to investigate would descend, and he would be "sliced" and studied, and his body and spirit would be thoroughly analyzed.
What status and cultivation correspond to what article is the real old reason.
For the current children's exam, the understanding of the scriptures and meanings does not seek to be sharp, but only to be stable and stable, which is in line with the orthodoxy of this world, otherwise even if it is refreshing, it will leave a biased impression in the eyes of the examiner.
Ye Qing pondered for a while on the topic: "Take the middle and upper and achieve good products!"
According to this selection condition, there are two or three articles after only one groan, and after thinking for a while, one article has been selected.
This is a famous chapter in the county test (Xiucai), which is more than gorgeous and elegant, but the rhyme is slightly insufficient (for Xiucai), but it is also enough to get the eye of the county test.
After reading it several times at the moment, Ye Qing copied it on the manuscript paper, and this was the first draft.
Or rather, someone else's article.
And below, it is Ye Qing, with his own insight and Taoism, to rearrange the sentences of this article, adjust the structure, add and delete words, and influence the meaning.
After I finished writing, I checked it to see if I had made a mistake and made it completely sure that it was correct, so I read it.
The whole article is dignified and tactful, like a dragon and snake, with the meaning of paper and smoke, and someone has commented in the previous life, just this word, it has the qualifications to lift people.
Of course, the content and truth of the article are more important, I see that the article is clear and beautiful, full of righteousness, and it is more than different from the elegance of the previous life, and the truth is even more refined and pure, compared with the old article in the previous life, it is on a higher level!
After revising all this, Ye Qing settled down, grinded the ink inkstone carefully, took out the brush, dipped it in thick ink, and signed it into a sentence after the most slur on the exam paper.
Writing down paragraph by paragraph, Ye Qing suddenly became silent, as if everything in heaven and earth was far away, and only one person was left.
This kind of realm, when you can't hide people, the county and the people present are just at the beginning, but Ye Qing wrote down paragraph by paragraph, only to see that on the paper, gradually growing light, condensing but not dispersing, floating in the void, although it is not to the point where they can see it with the naked eye, everyone still can't help but be shocked in their hearts, and look at each other.
Although this tone is weak, it is not worth mentioning in normal times, but under the Great Seal of Zhenyun, everyone knows very well what this means!
The shadow of the sun moves westward, time passes unconsciously, and the courtyard is silent, except for breathing, only the sound of pen and ink meeting paper......
When he wrote the last sentence, "It is grandiose and grandiose, it is called Shengming", Ye Qing put down his pen and finished answering the question.
After writing, I watched it carefully with my spirit, and then put the paper on the table, waiting for it to dry on its own, at this time, the surrounding students also had their hands to finish it, and seeing that two students handed in the exam papers and left the examination room, Ye Qing walked up and handed over the exam papers.
"Done?" asked the examiner as he took it.
Ye Qing bowed down and responded: "Back to the words of the adult, I finished writing." ”
The examiner flipped it slightly, his eyes lit up, he put away the paper, and waved his hand: "Well, you can go out!"
At this time, it was close to dusk, under the reflection of the setting sun, Ye Qing went out of the palace gate, and it was plated with a layer of faint gold, the three volumes were completed, and the first Dao fruit was about to be completed, Ye Qing suddenly showed a smile.
After walking a few steps, I couldn't help but look back and see the copper seal still hanging.
It's a pity that I don't dare to bring extra things in the examination room, I don't know who is better than the Zhenyun Copper Seal and the current Luck Copper Cup?
"Although it is a county-level town transport copper seal, it has authority, in terms of material and authority, I am afraid that the copper cup is not as good as it, it is a wise move not to bring it, if it is discovered, it will be cut off from the opportunity for the exam!" Ye Qing pondered silently, walked through the solemn guards, and returned to the street.
If you cheat with a magic weapon, once you find out, you will be banned from the exam for life!
After thinking about it, he stood at the gate, and at a glance, Qianqian was already waiting here, and he also took into account Ye Qing's exhaustion from the exam, and spent money to rent an ox cart with curtains.
Of course, other people's homes are similar, so the open space in front of the examination room is full of ox carts, all waiting with anxious expressions.
Some even have white-haired old men waiting, apparently waiting for their sons or grandchildren.
And in the golden light of the sunset, as soon as Ye Qing appeared, the girl noticed it, and hurriedly greeted her, trying her best to suppress the apprehension in her heart, and asked with a happy expression: "Young master, okay?"
When she smiled, there was a kind of beauty in an instant, which made Ye Qing stunned, and she forgot to respond for a while, until Qianqian's joy dimmed.
Well, at a young age, he is already so smart and sensitive!
One person attains the Tao, and the chicken dog ascends to heaven, this time I must be admitted to the Jinshi, and you will be listed in the heavenly register, and you will also have the qualification to practice the Dao.
As for the women's crown, Ye Qing didn't think about it, although the Red Emperor stipulated that women also had the right to register, but in fact, the road was even more bumpy.
"Hey......" But at this time, Ye Qing didn't think much about it, looked at the crowd nearby, and made a sad face, and sure enough, seeing Qianqian's little face became even more painful, wrinkled into a ball.
It wasn't until he got into the ox cart and sat in the ink-colored cart curtain that Ye Qing lowered his head and laughed: "Okay!"
"What's okay?" Qianqian couldn't come back to her senses for a while.
"It means that you did well in the test. Ye Qing's voice was playful, staring at the change in the expression on her face.
Qianqian's expression became surprised with sadness, and became suspicious again, and finally became embarrassed: "Hmph, it's in vain for me to worry so much, teasing me, it's fun for you!"
"Yes, yes, Miss Qianqian, I was wrong...... By the way, is the cup still there?"
"Hmph, throw it away!"
laughed all the way and apologized for not mentioning it.
Arrived at the old store of the Zhang family, got off the ox cart, and arrived at his room, Ye Qing's smile disappeared, and Qianqian turned around obediently, and took out the copper cup from her without knowing where it was and handed it to Ye Qing.
This copper cup condenses luck, even if you can't see it, you can feel its faint fluctuations, and the moment you take it, it comes out from the inside, rushes into the body, and quickly penetrates each other.
The dignified husband has no ability, but at this time he has to rely on this foreign object, which makes Ye Qing feel sad and melancholy.
