I slay demons and demons with poetry

Chapter 63

The solemn and solemn voice came slowly from the north building of the examination hall. All the candidates in the examination room were asked to enter the examination room immediately.

The reading of the "Laws of Dawen" has already begun on the north tower, while groups of soldiers have begun to distribute pens, inks, papers and inkstones.

Song Mu felt that he had returned to the various examination sites in the past, but it would not be as serious as this, and there would not be a ferocious soldier staring straight at him, as if he would stab him to death with a spear in the next moment Own.

When the laws were read out, a group of dignified men and horses also started to go out from the north building. They were dressed in brocade clothes sewn with gold thread and covered with characters, and escorted three things through a test house, slowly Came to the middle of the examination room, there was an open space, and a tall stone altar was erected in the open space.

These people came under the altar and placed two bronze statues on both sides of the altar, which were the statues of Confucius and Zhang Zi.

Zhang Zi, Chuck, the first great Confucian who created literary power in the world, was admired by the world for saving the human race from fire and water.

Fan Tixue also boarded the altar at this moment, arching his hands high towards the north. When the decree was read out, a "Bow!" Kneel down directly.

Song Mu also knelt down on both knees, this kneeling, all literati willingly.

After worshiping Confucius and Zhang Zi, I saw one of the priests, who was dressed most noblely, holding a copper box in his hand, and began to walk slowly to the top of the altar.

Song Mu looked up and could easily see the whole picture of the altar. In the disc-shaped examination room, all the examination rooms faced the altar. Song Mu could feel the importance of the things in the copper box .

There, it should be Wen Xing.

Master Xun once said that to condense literary power, literati must be assisted by literary stars, and literary stars are the core fragments of what fell from the sky.

Compared with other fragments dropped by Tianxing, such fragments contained a steady stream of mysterious power.

That mysterious power can warm and nourish the literary spirit, mobilize the literary power, and have infinite uses.

The old man carried the copper box up little by little, and finally reached the top of the altar, then kowtowed to the north, and with a burst of singing, slowly placed the copper box on the altar, Dao Dao Wen Li from his fingertips Burst out, and then pour into this copper box.

Dots of light began to light up on the copper box, and then slowly unfolded under the surprised eyes of countless students.

The copper box turned out to be an extremely exquisite mechanism box, which was slowly opened under the urging of Wen Li, and then something slowly protruded from it.

It was an inconspicuous stone like gravel by the stream, but when it appeared in front of everyone's eyes, everyone was unconsciously stunned by it.

Because everyone felt that the literary energy in their bodies seemed to vibrate.

And as the old man chanted, the entire altar seemed to start to light up at this moment, and the small stone also began to shine.

A warm feeling different from the sun shining on people.

It was a kind of azure light, and the light spread in all directions, covering the entire examination institute, giving people a cool and peaceful feeling.

What's even more surprising is that when the light shone on him, the literary energy in his body started to flow unconsciously, constantly circulating around his body.

This feeling did not bring any discomfort, but made people feel warm in Dantian.

The children who experienced this situation for the first time couldn't help exclaiming, while the old children who had experienced it immediately began to stabilize their minds and try their best to feel this artistic conception.

This is the key to cohesive literary power. The changes brought about by the literary star made Song Mu very happy.

Because I can feel that the window paper of that level is already in front of me at this moment.

"Release the paper! Exam!"

At the same time, a bright voice came again, and then a group of soldiers began to distribute the test questions.

Song Mu also got a piece of white paper with the topic written on it. Now he took a deep breath and looked down at the topic of the scriptures.

The first ten questions are meaning-solving questions. The sentences come from the Four Books and Five Classics. What is required is to familiarize yourself with the Four Books and Five Classics and fully answer the explanations.

These ten questions are still easy to write. For me who memorizes deeply, it is equivalent to dictation, and I am already familiar with it.

Song Mu didn't rush to answer the question, but continued to look down.

After the problem of explaining meaning, there are five questions about expressing meaning, which are to explain some long sentences in the Four Books and Five Classics and discuss the attitude towards them.

There are five questions, but one is longer than the other. Song Mu also frowned slightly. Although he is a Chinese language and literature major, it is still a bit difficult for Song Mu.

After thinking for a moment, Song Mu continued to look down.

Finally, there is a big question, which is an interception question.

Intercepting questions, as the name suggests, select two old sayings from different books, and then reassemble them, ask for their interpretation, and make your own judgments. Views on ancestors must have their own extension of their meaning.

This kind of question completely tests a person's cultivation of ancient literature, and there are thousands of meanings to explain. If you want to satisfy the examiner, the intention must be deep and shocking enough.

Song Mu was also holding on to the topic and thinking hard.

And the soldiers standing outside Song Mukao's house on duty saw Song Mu's expression of thinking hard and he hadn't finished writing, and they were also a little suspicious at the moment.

This young examinee may have experienced this kind of test for the first time. After getting the questions, he couldn't write.

The soldier also sighed slightly, thinking that the young examinee in front of him was probably just going through the motions, and maybe he would study for another three to five years before he could make a fuss again.

……

At the same time, in the Juxian Pavilion in the north building of the Examination Institute, a group of adults in official robes gathered here to talk.

Fan Tixue and the teaching officials from various counties have arrived, and some officials from Jizhou Prefecture are gathered together in red robes.

"Master Tixue, this year's Jizhou government candidates have reached a new high. It is really a scene of flourishing literary style."

"That's right, our Jizhou prefecture is becoming more and more prosperous now, and more people send their nephews to study, that is, the number of private schools in each county has increased a lot."

"This time Wenzhi is a blessing for the world."

Several lecturers in official robes spoke, and Fan Zhengxiong was also smiling among them. He was also moved by such a situation, and besides, he also had his own credit for such a grand occasion.

Seeing the brilliant Chinese stars in the examination academy, everyone nodded their heads again and again at this moment.

"In every academic exam, I admire the scene like this the most. Under the light of literary stars, literati are born, and there are many visions. It is really exciting."

"Yes, for so many years, this old man, every time I watch the imperial examinations for talented scholars, and those literati are born brilliantly, my heart is always very excited."

"Speaking of this, my lords, everyone can see this year's spring. Wen Chulanfeng, the number one scholar in Jinke, will try an article on "On Soldiers and Horses" to stir up the situation in the capital, and Jin Ge will shake. The palace test will be even more beautiful, Your Majesty admires it. The number one scholar, with such courage in civil and military affairs, I heard that even General Du has noticed this talent."

"It's a pity, it's a pity, that's the scene of the capital. I can't wait to go to Chang'an, so I can only learn about the grand occasion from a few words."

Everyone was chattering, the examination room had already started to distribute the questions, and a large board with the questions was also sent upstairs, which was the classic question at the beginning of this session.Everyone sitting in the chairs took a sip of tea, but changed the subject again.

"Hey, the big question this time is very interesting."

An official looked at everything in front of him, and was quite surprised.

Everyone looked at it at the moment, and each of them raised their eyebrows immediately.

"Indeed, this is the topic chosen by the current crown prince Shao Fu. It may not be as subtle as it was in previous years, and it is the most test of everyone's ability."

Everyone said it in a hurry, and some people said it jokingly.

"Even if the topic of classics and meanings still cannot escape from the Four Books and Five Classics, but to be honest, what I want to read the most today is the appearance of famous lines, and the appearance of good poems tomorrow will be even better."

Hearing what the old man said, the next official also raised his eyebrows, and someone turned his head to look at Ouyang Hong next to him, and said with some joy.

"Speaking of which, my lords, recently, a talented man from our Jizhou Mansion has appeared in the "Tianxia Wenkan" twice in a row. The two poems are so talented that even Feng Daru is full of praise."

"Oh? Speaking of this, I remember it. It seems to be a student from Shiyang County. Master Ouyang, please tell me." Zhan Bo, the teacher of Wan'an County, said, and Fan Tixue beside him also looked relieved.

Ouyang Hong got up quickly, cupped his hands towards everyone, and said with a grin.

"To be honest, he is indeed a talented person from Shiyang County. His name is Song Mu, and he is a descendant of the Song family."

"The Song family's culture? Song Wenrong's brilliance in the past is also a good story."
