Due to the large number of people who refer to this year, the school is divided into eight examination rooms according to the direction of the eight trigrams, from (south), Kun (southwest), to (west), to Qian (northwest), Kan (north), Gen (northeast), Zhen (east), Xun (southeast),

In the middle is the examiner's room, where you can watch the situation in each examination room.

The chief examiner is Feng Yuliang, the governor of the left capital, and the deputy chief examiner is Chu Daoquan, the secretary of the military department, Shen Feihu, the commander of the commission, and Ning Daqun, the commander of the guard. Eight examination rooms, each examination room has a number of examiners, there are commanders and signers, pacification envoys, thousands of households, etc., and there are soldiers inside and outside the examination room to maintain order and safety.

When Lingyu came to the examination room, there were already many people who practiced martial arts, and there were many people from the rivers and lakes, most of them were young people, and the oldest was not more than forty years old. The reason why there are so many reference people this year, this has a lot to do with Lingyu, most of the high-ranking officials in the past are literati's competitive skills, today Lingyu stepped into the officialdom with a Jianghu person, and became a member of the first product in a short period of time, everyone thinks that martial arts can also make a big difference in officialdom, plus this year is a special martial arts examination, martial arts practitioners feel that the opportunity has come, so they have rushed to the capital, some martial arts mediocre also want to get lucky to seize a chance, some martial arts are very good but do not know one.

There is a gate outside the big examination room, all the reference person must take out the registration card to enter, and after the entrance is issued a number plate of the examination room, there are eight number plates in a row, which are from the place, Kun, Dui, Qian, Kan, Gen, Zhen, Xun, each examination room is registered in the number plate, and there are special people to count the number of people to ensure that the number of people in the eight examination rooms is equal.

Lingyu didn't go in immediately when he arrived outside the venue, he was watching and searching, looking for Liu Qingyang, Hong Feng, Tong Yunfei and them, and seeing that the friends from the rivers and lakes who lived in Country Garden also came. Lingyu looked at Liu Qingyang for a while and they just came, and those girls also came over together in men's clothes, Lingyu and Chang Yue'e were passionate last night, and said that they would go out again if they had something to do the next day, and Chang Yue'e guessed that he would come to participate in the martial arts examination again, so he deliberately encouraged Hong Xia and them to come to see the excitement. Her purpose was to see what Lingyu was dressed up in, but she didn't recognize Lingyu after looking at it for a while. Chang Yue'e suddenly heard Lingyu use a voice to enter the secret and say, "Sister E, what are you looking for, are you looking for me?" Chang Yue'e smiled: "Yes!" Ma Junlan said: "Sister E, what are you talking about!" Chang Yue'e heard Ma Junlan ask before she realized the gist of her mouth, and immediately explained: "I mean it's true! Ma Jun said: "Yes! I want to be a general." ”

Lingyu said to Chang Yue'e again: "Don't look for it, you can't find me." This time, Chang Yue'e didn't make a sound, just smiled. Hong Xia saw it and asked, "Sister E, what are you laughing at?" "Chang Yue'e reacted very quickly. immediately said: "I laugh at how much money I have to add to so many people to become officials." Hong Xia smiled: "How can they all be officials?"

Lingyu saw Liu Qingyang and they also registered separately when they entered the field, Liu Qingyang entered and left the field, Hong Feng entered the dry field, and Tong Yunfei entered the Gen field.

Lingyu chose Kunchang, received the Kunchang number plate after entering, followed the candidates of Kunchang to Kunchang, and Kunchang had another door to enter with the number plate, and then register after entering. After registration, you will receive a serial number plate (1.2.3......) Take the exam in order of serial number. The first game is divided into three, one. Literacy, erect a plaque on the ground, write a seven-character poem on the plaque, the reference person must read it smoothly, otherwise it will be eliminated, and immediately after the elimination, there will be an examiner on your number plate to disqualify the exam. A soldier will send you out right away. Second, test the strength, lift the stone to lock the stone burden, and those who can't lift it are eliminated and sent out of the field. Three, archery. Shooting the arrow in the center of the red circle within the specified distance is qualified, otherwise it will be eliminated and sent out of the field. If you pass all three items, you can write a word on the number plate and you can enter the next exam.

The first pass directly enters the second exam, the second exam is to test martial arts, candidates have to perform a set of boxing or palm techniques, and then perform a set of instruments (knives, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks, forks, whips, hammers, ropes and other eighteen weapons) any of them. There are five examiners invigilated during the performance, after the performance, there must be three examiners to raise the card to pass the pass stamp on the number plate, you can enter the next exam, otherwise you will be eliminated, on the number plate to play a ?, in the bottom book also marked him to indicate that he was eliminated, and then sent out of the field.

After the second exam, you can go back, and wait for the third exam the next day, which is the beginning of the real competition.

Lingyu followed the Kunchang candidates into the Kunchang, and the number plate he received was No. 328, so he had to fight in the back and watch the people in front of him take the exam, although there were many references, but the quality was not very high, and half of the first game was eliminated.

The examiner shouted, "No. 328 Zhang Yixian." Lingyu agreed and walked up, and everyone looked like a scholar, and someone laughed: "Another impersonator, thinking that he could take a martial artist back with a few sword dances." Another person said: "Hey, he didn't look in the mirror at home, so he hurriedly came to see if he was in the wrong place." Lingyu didn't pay attention to them, just walked to the plaque and read the seven-character poem smoothly, which was not strange for others to read at all.

Lingyu then walked to the stone lock and stone burden, first grabbed the stone lock and lifted it twice without mentioning it, everyone laughed, and the examiner said: "Zhang Yixian, don't delay time, you can't lift the stone burden again." There was a man next to him: "How can you lift the stone burden if you can't lift the stone lock?" Before the words of this person fell, he saw that Lingyu had lifted the stone lock, and he put down the stone lock and went to lift the stone burden. This time, the people who watched the joke were gone.

Lingyu didn't want to waste any more time, put down the stone burden and walked to the bow and arrow, held the bow in one hand and the arrow in the other, pulled the bow against the arrow handle, and flew towards the arrow with a loose feather arrow in his hand. It's not that he can't shoot in the middle, it's just that he doesn't want to be too ostentatious and attract attention early, and that's why it's impressive, and that's because of his outfit.

Lingyu passed the first game smoothly, holding the number plate to the second exam, he still didn't show his martial arts excessively, just played a set of ordinary boxing techniques, although the moves are not too subtle, but they are perfect, so that people can't find shortcomings, the same is true for swordsmanship, the sword is light and agile, and every move is a benefit. After the Lingyu Sword Palm practice, the five examiners all raised the pass card, and then printed the pass seal on his number plate. Lingyu left the examination room with the number plate printed with the pass seal, and those who watched the jokes were really envious, jealous and hateful.

Liu Qingyang, Hong Feng, and Tong Yunfei also successfully passed the two examinations, the first and second examinations were all over in the evening, some of the examination rooms passed three or four hundred people, and some of the examination rooms only had more than 200 people, and the examiners counted the number of people who passed the examination overnight, a total of 2,560 people, with an average of 320 people in each examination room, and more than 320 people were made up to less than 320 people. Make a list of which test rooms to transfer to and write them down on a piece of paper, and post them the next day for candidates to automatically admit the test room.

Lingyu went back to the inn after lunch, and just after entering the inn, Lin Yunchuan was about to go out, Lin Yunchuan said: "Brother Zhang, I'm back so soon, how did you do in the exam." Lingyu said: "The first two games are considered to be passed." Liu Wenzheng said: "Congratulations to Brother Zhang." Lingyu smiled: "It's too early to congratulate, the real battle hasn't started yet." ”

Lin Yunchuan said: "Brother Zhang, let's fry a few side dishes to have a few drinks." Lingyu said: "Okay!" Saying that, a few people found a table to sit down, and asked Xiao Er to order food and take wine. (To be continued......)
