Early in the morning of December 16, Chen Fu and the others left the inn with Xuanfuzi and went to the Taoist Division.

The Bipu County Daoist Association is at the Taoist temple where the Dao realm test is conducted on the 25th of every month, and Chen Fu has been here twice before, once on August 25 last year and again on October 25 this year.

The first time was to accompany Liang Dengle to visit the temple fair, and at the instigation of the strong man and Liang Dengle, he participated in the monastic realm test, and as a result, some people in Sili and Eight Townships led their children to find Song Yuge to learn art.

The second time was when Liang Dengle felt angry and asked him to accompany him to participate in the test and earn the 100 yuan reward that he didn't earn last year.

There is a square in front of the gate of Daoguan Mountain, there is a large vacant land in front of the square, it is the place where the temple fair is usually rushed, and there is a row of shops in front of the vacant land, which is a prosperous place in the county seat.

When Chen Fu and the others arrived, the front of the Taoist temple was already crowded. Those who go to the temple fair, watch the excitement, and take the exam...... Voices.

Most of the students in the square, their masters, and their parents, looking forward to the open mountain gate and the two men guarding the mountain gate, waiting for the exam to begin.

At the right time, a bell rang in the Taoist temple, and a Taoist priest walked out of the mountain gate and stood still in front of the steps. When the bell stopped, the Taoist priest spoke: "Candidates enter the venue with the test number, and idle people are not allowed to enter." ”

The students climbed the stairs and showed the exam numbers in their hands for inspection.

Chen Fu followed the flow of people into the mountain gate, and when he looked closely, inside the mountain gate was a large empty courtyard, and the ground was covered with bluestone slabs. The wings on both sides are connected to each other, and in front of the wings is a long and wide corridor. There is a magnificent hall in front of it, and there are several people standing in front of the hall, some wearing official uniforms, some wearing Taoist uniforms, some wearing cardigans, and some wearing long robes.

The students lined up in five columns in front of the main hall according to the instructions, and the man in the Taoist uniform said: "Welcome to all candidates to take the entrance examination of the monastery! Zheng Hong, the poor Dao, is the chief examiner of the Beijing Monastery, and this He Xichao is the chief examiner of the Fuguan Monastery. There are also parents in this county, who are very concerned about this exam, and have come to visit everyone......"

Gao Xianling and He Xichao simply said a few words of encouragement, and a middle-aged man in a long robe announced the rules of the examination room, the precautions for the examination and the schedule of each subject with an expressionless face.

The first thing to do is the essay test.

One hundred and twenty-one candidates entered the wings on both sides and took their seats.

The invigilator quickly said: "This essay test is a comprehensive paper of composition and mathematics, and there are only two questions. The time is half an hour, and the hour will be rewound as soon as the hour comes. ”

When Chen Fu heard this, he was worried, he had dropped out of school for two and a half years, and he taught composition and mathematics in the next two years, and he had never studied.

Take a few deep breaths and flip through the papers on the table. Chen Fu looked at it, and the first question was an essay question, which read:

"Take any kind of 'flower' as the theme to make a song of seven rules, no limit to rhyme. ”

Chen Fu wiped a cold sweat, he was most afraid of writing essays and theories, as for writing poems, he could still deal with it. After pondering for a long time, Chen Fu lifted the brush, dipped it in ink, and wrote:

Pomegranate flowers

Tu Yu thanked and was sad, and the red dress opened in the sun.

After the rain, the dust is condensed and the blood is piled up, and the clogs dance in the wind.

Or because of the spikes to attract people's resentment, do not use the fragrance to attract butterflies.

Hugzi's face is still undiminished, and it is difficult to guess when it will wither.

After I finished writing, I read it twice more and felt good, so I continued to read the second question.

The second question is a mathematics question, which is:

"Today, there are three people sharing the car, and the two cars are empty. Two people in a car, nine people in steps. What is the difference between people and cars?"

Chen Fu was blind, and after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't figure out how to calculate, and scolded in his heart: "What's wrong with this, either people crowd together to make the car empty, or if you have a car, you don't sit but you have to walk!"

Looking up and seeing that people were handing in the papers and leaving one after another, Chen Fu sighed, so he had to write an answer indiscriminately, and also handed in the papers.

Out of the wing room, Chen Fu walked into the main hall, and in the middle of the hall was the gray and unruly monument of the cultivation realm test. Here is the first item of the martial arts test: qi, that is, to test the impact of vitality.

Chen Fu lined up and walked to the table where the invigilator was sitting, handed over the exam number, the invigilator took the exam number, and briefly introduced how to hit the test tablet, Chen Fu nodded, he already knew about it.

Approaching the monument and setting up a posture, Chen Fu urged his mind to guide his vitality.

With a "bang", the vitality of the fist rushed out and hit the test stele, and a string of red light lit up from the lowest end of the stele in turn, and did not stop until it was a third of the way.

"Wow...... The fifth!"

"Who is this person? It looks like he is only twelve or thirteen years old, and he is about to enter the Void Yuan Realm!"

"This should be the best result of the year!"

The candidates watching from the side were talking.

"The early stage of the fivefold Ming Yuan realm. Another invigilator standing next to the test monument sang.

Chen Fu was now able to condense twenty-five wisps of vitality into one wisp. Satisfied, he returned to his desk, took the number, and walked through the main hall into the second courtyard.

In the middle of the second courtyard, a three-foot-high wooden platform was erected, and a thick red carpet was spread on it, which was very eye-catching. There was an iron rod on the table, and several iron grinding discs of different sizes, with one invigilator sitting at the bottom of the table and another on the platform.

Chen Fu walked up to the wooden platform, and the invigilator asked: "This candidate, there are several iron grinding discs on the stage, and the weights are 100 catties, 200 catties, 500 catties, and 1,000 catties. You can try to lift from light to heavy, the lightest try to lift 200 catties, and each weight can be lifted up to three times. You must raise your head above your head and stand up straight. How many pounds are you going to try to lift first?"

"I'll pick two thousand pounds. Chen Fu replied.

Someone in the audience suddenly shouted: "How dare he choose such a heavy weight, if he can't lift it, won't he have no results? What a fool!"

Another voice said: "If you dare to choose like this, he will definitely be able to lift it, and maybe he can lift it easily." ”

Someone else said: "It is impossible to lift it, two thousand catties, at least four times in the mud fetal realm, this person is young, but twelve or thirteen years old, how is it possible?"

The invigilator sitting in the audience hurriedly shouted, "Silence! Don't disturb the examinee." "But I secretly thought in my heart, I have been an invigilator for so many years, and the best score in the martial arts test "force" test is only 1,800 catties, is it possible that I will break the record this time?

The invigilator on the stage listened to Chen Fu's choice, and without saying much, he moved the two largest iron grinding discs, put them on both ends of the iron rods, and after fixing them, he signaled Chen Fu to start.

Chen Fu didn't care about what the audience was talking about, walked to the iron rod and squatted down, grabbed the iron rod with both hands, and stood up suddenly.

There was an exclamation from the audience:

"I actually stood up!"

"Then it's up to you to see if you can lift it above your head. ”

"I think he's already using all his strength to get up, and he can't lift it above his head. ”

Chen Fu shouted, and his hands jerked up, only to see the iron rod stop firmly above his head.
