Chapter 13: State Exams
When Li Ji came out of the smoke and rain building, it was almost dusk.
Along the way, he didn't take today's events to heart, but Nie Xiaoqian couldn't help himself.
I saw some stalls selling jewelry at the stalls not far away.
Li Ji stepped forward and saw that these ornaments were exquisitely decorated, although the material was ordinary, but the aesthetics of the ancients were much stronger than those modern handicrafts.
"In that temple, I destroyed your green hosta, and this hairpin will be given to you!" Li Ji paid the copper coin, and took out a white hosta from the stall and put it on Xiaoqian's head.
Seeing Li Ji like this, Nie Xiaoqian's heart was even more happy.
Back at the inn, it was already dark.
The candlelight flickered, Li Ji took the Taoist book given by his senior brother in his hand and flipped through it, while Nie Xiaoqian looked at the bronze mirror and kept touching the white hosta.
I don't know when, Xiao Qian came behind Li Ji, only glanced at the content of the Taoist book, and felt hot all over, and her heart suddenly felt angry, and said shamefully: "Childe, what do you think of this kind of thing?"
Li Ji was also a little embarrassed, so he had to say: "Xiao Qian, you misunderstood, this is my cheap master's foundation building technique of pure yang real people, not what you think." ”
Seeing Li Ji like this, Nie Xiaoqian sneered and said, "Pure Yang Zhenren is a Dao Sect True Immortal, how can there be such a thing?"
"You don't know this, this Danfa is a fusion of what Master Lu has learned all his life, but you haven't practiced into a ghost immortal yet, otherwise, I must let you taste it!"
Nie Xiaoqian was even more ashamed, and suddenly attached herself to Li Ji's ear and said, "If the son really thinks about it, Xiaoqian has a way!"
Li Ji's eyes lit up, and he quickly swallowed his saliva and asked, "What can you do?"
"I went to possess that Wang Shu, and then came to be happy with Gongzi, how about it?" Nie Xiaoqian said with a strange expression.
Li Ji's expression froze, and then she smiled and said nothing, it turned out that she still remembered Wang Shu's things during the day.
Nie Xiaoqian shook her head and was silent when she saw him, and she also knew that he didn't have too deep a connection with that cousin.
She stood quietly on the side and didn't bother, while Li Ji looked at "Pure Yang Treasure" seriously.
Although this foundation-building method is a method of double cultivation and the way to get started, it does not require men and women to have sex.
First of all, it is necessary to introduce qi into the body, take the perineum as the furnace, the sea of qi as the tripod, and then use the essence as firewood to burn the furnace fire, condense a mouthful of innate true qi, and run in the body. The internal qi starts from the lower dantian, passes through the perineum, passes through the tail lu, clamps the spine, and the jade pillow three passes, reaches the mud pill palace on the top of the head, and then separates from the ears and cheeks.
This method can also be called the method of returning jade liquid to Dan.
Li Ji looked at the contents of the book and settled, the shadow of the Bodhi tree in the Mud Pill Palace swayed, bursts of blue light covered his body, and in less than a moment, a mouthful of innate true qi was refined.
"Congratulations to Childe!" Nie Xiaoqian saw Li Ji exhale a turbid breath, and his eyes became different from before.
Li Ji only felt refreshed, and his previously lost body was slowly repaired by this innate true qi, and he could be regarded as officially entering the door of cultivation, but the filth of his body was eliminated from his body, and he had to take hot water to wash off the impurities on his body.
In the next two days, Li Ji did not go out again, and has been recuperating and conditioning his body.
And outside, his rivalry with Chen Yungui and his Xijiangyue have already spread all over Jinhua, and even Zhang Gong, a scholar and Yang Minzhi, a scholar, have heard of Li Ji's name.
This kind of thing is naturally indispensable to those who have always been unaccustomed to Chen Jie, but it also gave Li Ji a chance to become famous.
On the third day, the state examination began, and the people in the state school palace were already full. When Li Ji came to the examination room, most of the candidates had already lined up outside the school palace.
Someone recognized Li Ji pointing at the person next to him, and the person next to him bowed his head and looked at Li Ji again.
Li Ji felt a little strange in his heart, after refining and refining his qi, his feelings were more acute than before, and these eyes were all looking at him.
Could it be that I am wearing inappropriate Confucian clothes today, and why do so many people look at me?
Xia Zhen and the others stepped forward to say hello to him, and Chen Jie snorted coldly without saying a word.
Chen Jie's eyes looked around Li Ji, and he was a little strange in his heart, why he didn't see Nie Xiaoqian's figure today.
He didn't know that the school palace was important, and it was about to take the state test, and there were gods suppressing it here, and Nie Xiaoqian was a ghost, so he naturally didn't dare to come over.
"Cousin. Wang Shu still had gorgeous makeup, she glanced at Li Ji cautiously, and stood silently behind Chen Yungui. Looking at the performance of the two, it is very intimate.
After a while, it was time for the exam.
The elite soldiers at the door handle opened a way, and before entering the door, there were special officials to check the identity of the candidates, and then entered a small room to search their bodies to prevent cheating.
Since this exam is not a township exam, that is to say, this is not a national exam, but a state recommended by the national superintendent, and it is not strict to check it, and after a short time, all the candidates entered the examination room.
This time the state exam will take two days.
With a piece of rice paper in his hand, Li Ji saw the content on it, and suddenly felt that the type of questions in this scientific examination was not much different from that of later generations.
The title of the first volume is the Sutra, and the Ten Ways of Righteousness.
The Sutra is to cut off one of the passages in the Confucian classics and then let the candidates fill in them, similar to the cloze in the later generations.
The second scene is interpretation, which is divided into ink meaning and general righteousness. Moyi is a simple classic question and answer, asking a question, generally in the classics there is an original text that can be used as an answer. The righteousness is deeper, and can be based on the scriptures, but it also needs to have its own understanding.
The last test is the current policy, which is the study of governing the world, and it is also the focus of the scientific examination. In the past, there would be some poems, but they were later abolished by the prince.
Li Ji has a Bodhi tree in the Mud Pill Palace, and his memory and comprehension ability are beyond ordinary people.
The previous questions are very simple for him,
It only took him one hour to write it all.
The last policy is to discuss the gains and losses of the government's affairs.
Although this question is big, it is only an introduction, and the person who wrote the question also knows that these candidates are just students of the county school and state school, not the talents of the four major academies of Confucianism and the Guozijian, so they do not have much hope, and the requirements are not too strict.
When Li Ji saw this topic, he also searched for later generations of discourses on the politics of the Northern Song Dynasty.
The first thing that comes to mind is Mr. Qian Mu's "China's Political Gains and Losses in the Past Dynasties", in which the political gains and losses of the Song Dynasty have many arguments that can be used for reference.
Li Ji has the foundation of later generations' learning, and when he answered, he naturally answered very smoothly.
After writing the whole article, he checked it again, and when he saw the examiner coming over, Li Ji got up and handed in the test paper.
I heard that someone handed in the papers, and all the candidates were shocked, this is only half a day's work, even if you are quick to think, you shouldn't be so rampant?
When Chen Jie saw that it was Li Ji, he was shocked, and a drop of ink stained on the exam paper.
