The talents in the Chengzhu Pavilion argued with each other, and the scribe who called himself "Phoenix Ming" just held a tea cup, tasted a mouthful of the famous phoenix narcissus in Guangdong Province, and said with a slight smile: "Phoenix Ming tastes phoenix tea, although the Wu family is from a businessman's background, it is not bad." ”

However, the companion sitting beside him looked at the Xiucai who was gradually divided into two factions around him, and just looked at the scribe wearing a Dongpo scarf and a crane with concern, and saw that there was no anger on his face, so he said: "Lord, these Xiucai are just frustrated in the field for many years, and they all rely on the provincial examination to try that little bit of fame and fortune." Now that the method of scientific examination has been changed, they listened to Xiucai as officials, and suddenly turned the word fame and fortune into a cold heart, so that they provoked these phlegm, and the lord did not have to be as knowledgeable as such a person......"

Phoenix Ming smiled and said: "Song Shizi, you studied under Ling Cizhong, but Ling Cizhong, a former Qing Dynasty Confucian, only cared about studying scriptures and history, but he didn't work much on Bagu Wen, and he has always been a scientific field. After losing his deer, he also gave up the idea of fame, returned to his hometown to teach, and lay down in the forest. You are his proud disciple, you are also hopeless, but you still have a little bit of enthusiasm to come out to do things, and I expect a little bit of love for these books. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at those Xiucai who were full of righteousness, suspected of being possessed by Ercheng, and Zhu Xi's rebirth, and under the instigation of Long Tinghuai, he denounced the "crimes" of being a Taoist believer, respecting miscellaneous studies, and not respecting Confucianism, and only shook his head and said: "If you are not a official, how can you go through the state and county? If you don't experience the state and county, how can you be the choice of the Yutang and the talent of the prime minister? They themselves have abandoned the way to advancement, and it is no wonder that others." Speaking of which, at the beginning of the imperial examination, the imperial examination was opened, and there was some appeasement for the Xiucai of the former Qing Dynasty, and there was no combination of the Ming Sutra, the Ming Law, the Ming Calculation and the five subjects of Gewu to make a big synthesis, but it was a small synthesis of the Ming Sutra, the Ming Law, and the Ming Calculation. ”

Seeing the phoenix Ming shook his head, Song Shizi could only smile bitterly, he studied under the Huizhou Great Confucian Ling Cizhong, and boasted that he was proficient in medicine and pronunciation, but these knowledge were nothing among the instructors of Qinggeng Academy. It's just that he is quick to think and knowledgeable, so he was exceptionally promoted to the side of this character with the pseudonym "Phoenix Ming" as a secretary.

Hearing Phoenix Ming say this, Song Shizi had no choice but to change the topic and said: "Then Liang Ai is a student taught by Qinggeng Academy, if you want to come to Guangfu for this scientific examination, you will definitely be able to do Chinese?"

Phoenix Ming put down the teacup, shook his head and said, "In this section, whether it is me or the battle goose in the north, I only have the mind of being taller among the short people. In front of him, Liang Airu is still a complete instrument, but after the Chinese style, he has served at the grassroots level for three years, and if his performance is mediocre, he will only be a second-class official in his life. ”

Speaking of this, Feng Fengming looked at Wu Bingjian and said with a smile: "It's the fifth son of the Wu family, who is much calmer than these hairy feet, but it's a pity that the Wu family is from a businessman's background, and his career will still be in ocean commerce in the future." As long as the Wu family sees the general trend clearly, don't think that the Thirteen Lines will monopolize the benefits of Guangdong's foreign trade, and the future of him as an ocean-going tycoon will be nothing. ”

Speaking of this, Phoenix Ming stood up and walked out, and the pine stone behind him hurriedly followed.

Wu Bingjian was dizzy from the quarrel between Liang Airu and Long Tinghuai, and when he was dizzy, he saw the phoenix singing and rising with his sleeves and leaving, so he couldn't help but stand up and said: "Old elder brother, brush your sleeves and leave, is it because the younger brother is not well entertained? Please stay in the jade toe temporarily, let the younger brother accompany you!"

He wanted to keep guests here, but he heard the phoenix laughing loudly: "Wu Bingjian, Brother Lingzun is just counting on you to make a name for yourself and decorate your family." However, your future is great, but you are not in this field, you are going to go, you will not be sent away!"

As he spoke, he saw a flick of his sleeve, and suddenly a cloud steamed, and his companions were gone. Only in the Chengzhu Pavilion was left, a group of Xiucai made a fuss and said: "What kind of person is this, isn't it Dongbin Lu Zu and Emperor Wenchang who are waiting for me?"

In the pre-Qing Dynasty, the fame of the science field stirred up the scholars in the world to be crazy, and then there were many talents who raised people to pay more respect to Emperor Wenchang. And although Lu Dongbin is the patriarch of Daomen, he is also a Jinshi in the Tang Dynasty, and he can be regarded as the predecessors of these talents, so he also has the blue eyes of these talents, and he expects Lu Zu to give everyone a future of leaping into the dragon gate.

However, Liang Airu reacted quickly, sniffed the air around her, and suddenly said: "It's so fragrant! It's so fragrant! Where does this tea aroma come from?"

Wu Bingjian's family is in the ocean tea business, and he couldn't help but be surprised: "This is the best phoenix daffodil tea, but I have never smelled such fragrant tea!"

As he spoke, he saw Long Tinghuai suddenly pointing to the doorposts on both sides of the Chengzhu Pavilion and said, "When was this couplet written?"

This class Xiucai looked in the direction of Long Tinghuai's finger, but saw that the tea on the doorpost was dripping with a couplet, but the place where the tea was soaked was like a fire mark, and the fragrance of tea was attached to the fire marks, not dispersed at all.

At that moment, there was a person who did good things, and he read out this couplet, only to see that the upper couplet was:

At the beginning of the troubled times, I still love the old kindness, exempt me from taxes and exempt from my service, and it is difficult to dissolve the three thousand diners

The next link is:

Taiping was not opened, and he also went to the new science field, looking forward to Erlu, and he was unwilling to throw away 500 money and grain

Between a few dot paintings, there was a sword aura meandering in the meantime, and the people present couldn't speak for a long time.

Liang Airu said for a long time: "This is the real Dongyang Sword Qi! Even the chief instructor of the Self-cultivation Department of Qinggeng Academy, there is no such Tao...... The one who is just now, isn't it, isn't it Wei Shanchang, Wei Shijun is here?"

After that, he bowed his hand to Wu Bingjian and said: "Brother Wu, if it is really Wei Shijun who is here, the younger brother will say hello to you!

He started like this, and the people around him who knew what was going on, and they didn't care about any Confucianism, they all surrounded him and sold them to Wu Bingjian.

Only Long Tinghuai, who was the most energetic in the discussion, had a blue and white face, and he was just annoyed at first, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt bottomless, and under the anxiety, he screamed "ah", and passed out like this!

......

.........

Left this couplet, the initiator's "Phoenix Song", or this light and cloudy appearance, slowly moving forward in the city of Guangzhou.

Behind him, Songshizi hurriedly followed, trotting for a long time, and the phoenix in front of him stopped, and he said breathlessly: "Lord, although the couplet just now, although the evaluation is fair, the tone is too heavy." That Long Tinghuai is a talented man, and he has won the evaluation of the lord, and he must think about it in the field, and if he wants to be Chinese again, it will be difficult. ”

"Phoenix Ming" Wei Ye shook his head and said: "If they really carry the lineage of Han Yu, Ercheng, and Zhu Xi, and want to glorify Confucianism, what is my couplet, and I don't have a literary prison, and I don't ask them to fill in the words like Liu Sanchang, as long as they are willing to work hard, there will always be a chance for them to come out." But if it is a couplet, it will be scared, not to mention undertaking the Taoist system, even this heroic spirit can't be talked about, if you really want to become a follow-up to Zhu Daotong, I am afraid that Ercheng and Zhu Xi will be so angry that they will roll in the coffin. ”

Speaking of which, Wei Ye didn't call Song Shizi anymore, and directly called his real name: "Li Ruzhen, I took you out this time to see how Li Ruilin's new imperial examination is doing, not just to listen to the whining of the talents." Speaking of which, the Gongyuan side has almost conducted the examination of the monks and nuns, so let's go and have a look. ”

Li Ruzhen wiped the sweat from her forehead, smiled bitterly, and had to follow Wei Ye to continue walking.

And at this moment, in the Gongyuan of Guangzhou Prefecture, the monks, bhikshunis, novices, and incense Taoists from all over the Guangzhou Mansion who were summoned together all stared at a beautifully printed examination paper:

Question 1: Briefly describe the causes, processes, and results of the four assemblies in the history of Indian Buddhism, as well as the process of sectarian division.

Question 2: Briefly describe the causes and processes of Buddhism's difficulties in the Three Martial Arts and One Sect, and analyze how to avoid future difficulties.

Question 3: Describe the time, place, and core content of the establishment of Madhyamaka and Yoga Guru in concise words.

Question 4: A brief description of the founding and purpose of the eight sects, including the Pure Land, Huayan, and Tiantai.

Question 5: The pros and cons of the former Qing monk official system.

Question 6: Write the Heart Sutra and the Great Confession Essay silently.

Question 7: Please write the names and functions of the six mudras and eight ritual instruments in the picture below.

Question 8: In the names of the main deacons in the Zen Gate Jungle, the first seat, the west hall, the back hall, the attendant, the mantle, the vena, the secretary, the capital supervisor, the prison house, the deputy temple, the monk's value, the knowledger, and the pawn, please briefly explain the responsibilities of the deacon, as well as the qualities and conditions that the deacon should possess himself.

Question 9: Explain the meaning of the three rotations of the chakra, the eight consciousnesses, the four consciousnesses, the six degrees, the four phases, the four foods, the bhikshus, the nirvana, the three views, the three natures and the three non-sexualities, the Noble Eightfold Path, and the seven branches of consciousness.

Question 10: Read the following material and make commentaries on the scriptures:

The Buddha said: "No!", "Is there ignorance inside?" Buddha said: "No!", "Is there no outside?" "No!" "Is there no inside and outside?" "No!" "Is there ignorance from the previous life?" "No!" "Is there ignorance from the previous life?" "No!" "Is there no ignorance from this life to the next generation?" "No!" "Is there ignorance and the living and the extinction?" "No!" "There is a legal substance, is the name ignorant not?" Buddha said: "No!" At that time, the virtuous woman replied to the Buddha's words: "If there is no ignorance, there is no inside, no outside, and no inside and outside, not from the past life to the present life." For example, if there is a tree, if there is no root, how can the cloud give birth to stems, branches, leaves, and fruits? "Although the Dharma is empty, ordinary people have no hearing and no wisdom, and all kinds of troubles and afflictions arise in the middle of it, and they do the karma of the body, mouth, and mind, and the karmic causes and conditions become the posterior body, and the body suffers and suffers and suffers from the causes." There is no actual affliction, no body, no mouth, no mind, no suffering. For example, illusionists do all kinds of things. What is the meaning of the clouds?Is there an illusion inside?"Answer: "No!" "Is there a way outside?" Answer: "No!" "Is there a problem inside and outside?" Answer: "No!" "From the past life to the present life, from this life to the next life?" Answer: "No!" "There is a living person who does illusion, and the person who destroys is not?" Answer: "No!" "Is there a method that is made by illusion?" Answer: "No!" Buddha said: "You have seen and heard a lot of tricks made by illusions, are you happy?" Answer: "I have also heard and seen it." The Buddha asked the virtuous woman: "If the illusion is empty, and the deception is not real, how can the clouds be used as tricks from the illusion?" The Buddha said: "Ignorance is the same, although it is not within, not without, not from within, not from within, not from the past to the present life, from this life to the next, and there is no substance, there is no living being, there is no extinction, and there is no ignorance of the causes and causes of all actions, and even the collection of suffering." Ignorance, ignorance, action, and even suffering. ”

Again, it is an illusion to show sentient beings that all things are empty and unstable. For example, it is said that all things are like illusions, deceiving children, it is karma, it is uncomfortable, and it will not be long to live. That's why it is said that the bodhisattvas know the Dharma like an illusion. Like the flame, the flame moves the dust with the sun and the wind, and the wild horse is like a wild horse in the wilderness, and the first sight of no Homo sapiens is called water. The same is true for men and women, who are troubled by the sun, the wind of evil remembrance, and the wilderness of life and death. Again, if you see a flame in the distance, you want to be water, but if you are near, there is no water phase. The same is true for the unwise man, if he is far away from the holy dharma, he does not know the absence of self, he does not know the emptiness of the dharma, and in the dharma of yin, realm, and emptiness, he gives birth to the appearance of people, men, and women; Therefore, it is said that all bodhisattvas know the Dharma like flames. For example, the moon in the water, the moon is in the void, and the shadow appears in the water, and the actual dharma is in the moon, and in the void of the law, the dharma, and the actual void, the mortal mind has me and the self appears in the water. Therefore, the name is like the moon in the water.

.........

These exam questions only let the head of the monk be as big as a fight, silently write the "Heart Sutra" and "Great Confession", talk about the mudras, magic weapons, and then talk about how the deacons in the big jungle should be held, which is quite simple. These leading monks can say a thing or two, but when it comes to the Four Assemblies of India, Madhyamaka and the Theory of the Yogis, this is not something that ordinary monks can answer.

Not to mention commenting on the scriptures, summarizing the lessons of the three martial arts and one sect to destroy the Buddha, and discussing the gains and losses of the former Qing monk official system!

Where is this to test the monk, even if it is to test Xiucai, it is not so difficult, but I am afraid that only the examination and the palace examination are above, and the master is used to make a decision, so that there is such an in-depth examination!

But if you don't take the test, you can't do it, if you don't pass the exam, if it's an ordinary monk, it's just to chase Du Mu and become a monk in the wild field. But if you are the presiding monk in charge, you can't pass the test, not only will you not be able to keep your presiding position, but even the presiding temple will be included in the demolition object.

For Daohai Zongyuan, he only thinks that there are too few academies and too many temples in Guangdong now!
