Chapter 47 Literary Examination

After the third level of the martial arts hall, the literary test was put on the dinner, and after the second level test, the number of martial artists had dropped to more than two hundred, and the retest of the literary test was less than two hundred. Because the number of people who will be tested in the next few days will definitely be less and less, so in the seven-day martial arts test, there may be less than 1,000 people left in the end.

This number is a bit different from Bai Ya's estimate, judging from the number of applicants, it is less than one out of ten, which is much more difficult than his previous life to enter the university.

The martial arts students who have been left behind are all elites, and the number is not large, and the martial arts hall arranged a dinner in the evening, and the venue was placed on the martial arts arena, and a flowing water banquet of more than 20 tables was placed.

The dishes are not too expensive, and there is no wine, but the meat is enough. People who practice martial arts are all big stomachs, and the dishes on the 20 tables have been changed several times, which can be regarded as making everyone full.

Bai Ya saw that the three people who were defeated by himself were all there, Yueren Wusu, Yiling Cheng Buzhi, and Jiangyang Chen Mu. In particular, the Yue people Wusu and Yiling Cheng are not straight, and these two little meridians are seriously injured.

A wound all over his body, the flesh was scraped off by his own tiger claws, and now his whole body was covered with bandages, like a large mummy. If you stand with Chen Mu, who is black and thin, and his whole body is bandaged, it will be blind.

The other is an internal injury, he vomited three liters of blood in the ring, and his face is still snow-white, covering his chest like the male version of Xi Shi.

Bai Ya felt happy and worried, happy that these two people definitely did not have three wins behind them, and it was naturally the special care of the senior management of the martial arts hall to stay. Since they can all stay, they should also enter the eyes of those people in the gatehouse.

The worry is that these two boys are injured like this, and they must also participate in the third level of the literary examination, which shows that the martial arts hall attaches great importance to the literary examination, and it is by no means just a formality.

After the dinner, the venue of the cultural examination was finally no longer a martial arts arena, and all the martial artists were put into the main hall of the courtyard behind the gatehouse. It was already filled with benches and small tables with the four treasures of the study and the prepared examination papers.

The five big and three thick men sat on the small bench with their pens biting their pen, and Bai Ya wanted to laugh at that scene. However, when he looked at the question of the test paper again, he couldn't laugh anymore.

Jiang Wu was very righteous and told him that the format of the questions was correct, but unfortunately he did not add points for guessing the format of the questions.

Wusheng's literary examination is different from the imperial imperial examination, and there will be no poetry and writing here. The first part is a fill-in-the-blank question, that's right, it's the kind of fill-in-the-blank question in Baiya's previous life, a few words in a sentence, let you fill it in.

Simple, right? simple, but it doesn't work for White Cliff!

Because the content that needs to be filled in the blanks is all from the works of the hundred schools of thought, which is not the same as the Four Books and the Five Classics. In Baiya's previous life, ancient China overthrew the hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism, so only the four books and five classics remained, and most of the works of the other sons and hundreds of schools disappeared into history.

But this world is different, the hundreds of schools of thought are happy, the classics are one after another, and the so-called four books and five classics are just a drop in the sea of books. Not to mention Baiya, even those Chinese language and literature scholars in the previous life crossed over, and they still had to fight the streets to participate in the imperial examination.

Is it difficult? It's not difficult, the topics in the martial arts hall are all in the enlightenment books, and as long as the martial arts students have studied in private schools for two years, they can basically do a seven, seven, eight, eight. Just like Bai Ya's previous life, the primary school students who couldn't write the next sentence of "hoeing the day of the afternoon" should go to eat fried bamboo shoots and meat.

Why does Zhenwu Dojo have such a question, because it is the need for mental investigation.

Since these topics are from the enlightenment books of teenagers, they are naturally extremely correct in three views, and there is no content that is disrespectful. As long as you have read and studied these enlightenment readings, you can at least prove that Wusheng has learned the correct three views, and a memory has been formed in his mind.

This can't rule out that there are treacherous and evil people in Wusheng, but at least these little villains also know what is right and what is wrong, what can be seen in front of people, and what must be sneaky.

The latter part of the test paper is an application question, which is very different from the application question in Bai Ya's previous life.

Most of the topics are real-life examples that the Martial Arts Association will encounter in the future.

For example, what to do when a dart encounters a bandit, what preparations to make to open up a wild wilderness, how to work in a process, how to track down the murderer, how to set up a camp in the wild, etc.

It sounds strange, but it actually makes a lot of sense.

Most of the martial artists of the Zhenwu Dojo will be engaged in this kind of work in the future. Don't look at the martial arts hall, it has recruited nearly a thousand apprentices in a year, but there may only be dozens of people who can enter the Qingcheng Immortal Gate in the end.

And among these dozens of people, there will be more than half of the martial artists who can reach the artistic conception and potential realm. As for the innate powerhouse...... Converse, the old hall owner of Zhenwu Dojo, has taught apprentices for decades, and the innate powerhouses who have been enlightened are only in the single digits.

Therefore, giving such questions to martial artists is not to look down on them, but also to examine the nature of the mind.

The first fill-in-the-blank questions are just to see if they have learned the correct three views, while the later practical questions are to review the ideas and character they will show when dealing with specific matters.

The last part of the essay test is equivalent to giving points, which is to ask Wusheng to write an article about his understanding of martial arts and his ambitions for martial arts in the future.

Bai Ya read the test paper over and over again, and then sighed, he had confirmed that he would definitely fail. The fill-in-the-blank questions in the first part are undoubtedly blank. In the second part of the application questions and the final essay questions, he can probably only get three or four points.

The reason is simple, it's not that he doesn't have ideas, it's that he can't write.

The boy surnamed Bai he possessed did know how to read, but his vocabulary was less than a thousand. Unless Baiya is written in block letters, half of the words in a text should be replaced by circles.

As for block letters...... Bai Ya can write, the key is that the examiner knows? Do you still expect the examiner to add a few more strokes to each block letter to turn it into a small seal?

After the literary exam, Bai Ya was apprehensive. In particular, he also knew the intention of the martial arts hall to come up with these questions, and felt that there was a chance that he would not pass this exam.

When he walked out of the gate of the martial arts hall dejectedly and was about to return to the inn, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Brother Bai, such a beautiful day, don't you go to enjoy the moon?"

Bai Ya turned around, only to see Lu Yuan and others behind him. Lu Yuan, Jiang Wu, Tang Hunt, Jiang Nan, and Lu Qing were all looking at him with a smile, and it was Tang Hunt who spoke just now.

I'm sad to reward you for your size!

Bai Ya's heart was moved, and he said, "Why are you here, didn't you say that you would wait for me?"

"Hehe, we didn't wait for you, we just estimated that you were almost finished with the exam, so we came over and took you to relax!" Jiang Wu put his arms around his shoulders and grinned, "Let's go, get drunk!"

"Get drunk!"

At this moment, Bai Ya couldn't help but think of the absurdity of his previous life in college, and he couldn't help but scream, leaving all his troubles behind.

......

A few days passed in a hurry, and in an instant, it came to the day of the martial arts hall's list.

Although Baiya was a little depressed, he still followed everyone to see the list. This is a major event for Lu Yuan and others, even if he is not on the list, he is willing to share the happiness of others.

Unlike when they came, this time they went to see the Ling Tian Martial Pavilion and the Treasure Dining Hall first.

As expected, Lu Yuan and Lu Qing's brothers and sisters were all on the list. Tang Zhan did better in the exam, and he ranked first in the list of medicine apprentices posted by Bao Shan Tang.

After reading these two, they finally rushed to the location of the Zhenwu Dojo, and before they arrived at the place, they saw a sea of people where the list was posted on the wall. Although most of the martial artists have already been brushed down in the first two levels, there are also fifteen or six hundred martial artists who have entered the last level.

Jiang Wu relied on his height and big horses, and under the curses of all the martial artists, he opened a way in the crowd.

"Fifth brother, you're on the list!" just watched it for a while, and the sharp-eyed Jiang Nan jumped and jumped happily, pointing to a name on the list and shouting.

"Seventh sister, what about you?" Jiang Wu knew his results, but he was not as excited as his sister, and asked with concern.

"I'm on the list, you see...... Over here!" Jiang Nan looked happy, and pointed to another list full of girls' names.

"Have you seen Brother Bai's name?" Lu Yuan was blocked, lowered his voice, and asked softly.

"Like...... Nope!"

The two brothers and sisters, Jiang Wu and Jiang Nan, who were standing in front of the list, looked at each other. And although Bai Ya, who was standing next to them, couldn't see his expression, the disappointment in his eyes could be seen by anyone.

"You said it early, I have already seen the name of Brother Bai below!" While everyone was silent, Tang Hunt's voice came from behind.

"No, didn't the three of us miss it?"

The Jiang Wu brothers and sisters and Bai Ya were all puzzled, the positions on the list were limited, and the three of them were in the front row, and Tang Hunt and Lu Yuan brothers and sisters did not squeeze in.

"Hehe, you guys...... Could it be that you have forgotten that there are three lists of martial arts hall recruits?" Tang Hunt smiled helplessly in the back, "Come out, there are few people here, go and see for yourself!"

"Brother Jiang, what else is there?" Bai Ya was a little pleased, and asked Jiang Wu beside him while squeezing outside.

"Tang Hunt didn't say it, I really forgot about it!" Jiang Wu patted his head and said with a smile, "There are indeed three lists of martial arts hall apprentices......

Jiang Wu said it roughly, and Bai Ya understood.

Similar to Zhenwu Dojo and Ling Tian Martial Arts Hall, there are three lists of apprentices every year, one is the Yingjie list, that is, the male list, the other is the women's list, which is the female list, and the last one is the ......

"Ruzi list!" Bai Ya stood in front of the list, looking at his name on it, a little crying and laughing.

The so-called children's list, as the name suggests, is a children's list. Every year, Zhenwu Dojo will accept a group of children under the age of ten for martial arts enlightenment.

This is a kind of pro-people move, which means that "my Daqingcheng is Shu's own immortal gate, and I am willing to help my father and fellow villagers." You will be talented in the future, you must give priority to joining my Daqingcheng!"

The food and lodging of the children are provided by the martial arts hall, not only the martial arts enlightenment, but also the martial arts hall teaches the enlightenment reading materials of the hundred schools, so that the children can read and write.

But the key problem is that Bai Ya turned 14 this month, although the difference is only a few years, but this is the dividing line between teenagers and children. Isn't it to let him play with a bunch of kids who have snot all day long?

"Brother Bai, this must be the preferential treatment that the examiner specially gave you when he saw that you did well in the first two levels......" Tang Hunt couldn't help but laugh and patted Bai Ya's shoulder.

"It's good to be on the list, it's good to be on the list!" Lu Yuan's face was strange, and he muttered, "Although it's a ...... of the children's list"

"Hahaha!" Lu Yuan said unintentionally, but it became the guide of the laughter~ The fire, a group of people laughed together, and the two girls were even more happy to tremble, leaning forward and back.

PS: Thank you for the red envelope, I have already read the auspicious words, strive for more at the end of the year, and may ask for a monthly ticket!
