Chapter 14 Literary Exam

Forty-six of the [-] students who had been killed by the white tiger for ten years passed the martial arts examination.

Passing the martial arts test means passing the big test.

The literary test is not a selection test in the true sense. It is just for the students to show their basic literacy. After studying hard in the academy for ten years, those test questions are as easy as memorizing the multiplication table for them.

Liu De'an was the first to take the exam, and his exam question was the essentials of winning a sword with an empty hand.

This is the basis of the "Killing Sutra", which is considered difficult among the test questions. Liu De'an thought for a moment and replied: "First look at the distance between the enemy and ourselves, and then look at the length of the weapon. After the enemy makes a move, wait for the opportunity to get close and seize the weapon! "

There are dozens of ways to grab the blade, but Liu De'an doesn't need to continue answering. If you answer this level, you will pass.

Seeing his ugly appearance, Zhong Shen couldn't help shaking his head: "I don't know what you two say, I don't want this man!"

The second examinee stepped forward, and the test questions were as follows: "How to defend against a blunt weapon when it is approaching?"

To put it simply, it is a hammer to the head, how to carry it hard.

This is simpler, it is the basis of "Martial Arts", the student replied: "The qi penetrates the hundred meetings, pours into the damper, and then enters the sea of ​​qi. If it circulates like this, the top of the head will be as hard as an iron stone."

The third examinee came on the stage, and the martial artist asked a question: "The two armies are facing each other, you are holding a sword and shield, and the cavalry is approaching, how should you respond?"

This question is a bit special. Although it is within the scope of "Sha Jing", it is closer to the category of military strategists.

Bingjia is a heretic of the way of killing, and under the blessing of Chi You, the lord of the army, it can be understood as a branch of the White Tiger's way of killing.

The practice system of military strategists, from the ninth rank to the fifth rank, is exactly the same as the Dao of Killing, but the practice method is slightly different. The military strategist pays more attention to the cultivation of intelligence, especially after the fifth rank, the intelligence factor dominates.

You must know that cultivation bases above the fifth rank are rare among mortals, especially Sha Dao, which requires extremely high physical talent. Military strategists can be regarded as a new way out for cultivators with insufficient talents.

This student has long expressed the idea of ​​practicing a military strategist, but it is a pity that he has never had the opportunity to study at Zhenge Academy of the military strategist. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the literary examination, the martial artist deliberately asked a question related to the strategist, hoping to attract the attention of the Minister of the Ministry of War. Sui Zhi's attention.

Will Sui Zhi notice him?

will not.

Because this question is too simple.

The examinee replied without hesitation: "Run between the battlefields, look for rocks and trees to avoid their sharp edges, wait for the opportunity to break their horseshoes, and then fight with them."

To put it bluntly, it is to get rid of the horses of the cavalry and turn the opponent into infantry.

……

All the questions were of this difficulty, and Bao Jingzhong listened attentively. As a civil servant, he felt that the questions and answers were quite exciting.

Sui Zhi and Zhong Shen didn't bother to pay attention, and chatted aside.

Sui Zhi said: "When the exam is over, I'll invite you to Qilang Teahouse for tea."

Zhong Shendao: "Why do you want to go to Qilang Tea House?"

"I heard that Pan Shuihan is your best friend. Isn't this also to take care of your business?"

"My mouth is full of tongues, believe it or not, I broke your teeth?"

While joking, Xu Zhiqiong's name was called, Xu Zhiqiong came to the center of the hall, but saw an acquaintance.

It turned out to be martial artist Zou Shunda who gave him the question.

Hearing Brother Tong say that Zou Shunda had been burned into coke, Xu Zhiqiong looked at him for a while, but saw that he didn't even have a single burn on his body.

He recovered so quickly?
The heart that had been let go was suspended again. Zou Shunda asked a question, and things were not that simple.

Yu Chilan also frowned: "I'm afraid this guy will embarrass that silly boy."

Chu He troubled himself and said, "How can the Wen Kao be difficult?"

Zou Shunda cleared his throat, and read out the title: "On a severe winter night, the weather is clear, you and a Mohist cultivator of the ninth rank are fighting in a deep alley, both sides are unarmed, how do you deal with it?"

This question was so simple that Xu Zhiqiong didn't know how to answer it.

Because there is no need to answer this question.

Hearing the topic, even Chu He laughed: "What else do you need to do, beat him to death with one punch."

Yes, it's that simple.

Before the fifth rank, the Mohist cultivators learned all the artisan's methods. Without weapons, they were not opponents of the same level of killing.

Look at other conditions.

On a severe winter night, the weather is clear, and Shadao's eyesight is much better than that of Mo's, so Shadao has an advantage.

Fighting in the deep alley, the speed of killing Dao is much faster than that of the Mo family, and the Mo family has no chance to escape.

It's that simple for soldiers to work hard. The right time and place are all taken up by the killer, and there are obvious advantages in attributes, and it's over with one punch.

Is it really that simple?

Xu Zhiqiong didn't answer easily, but heard the examiner whispering.

Their voices were very low, but Xu Zhiqiong could hear them clearly.

Zhong Shendao: "This question is too difficult."

Sui Zhi said: "It's just a ninth-rank student. How can I answer such questions without actual combat?"

Lin Tianzheng glared at Zou Shunda, and was about to ask a question, but Bao Jingzhong said: "Principal Lin, let the examiners only check to see if the students have cheated. The one who made the test is a martial artist from your academy. Can you still believe it? Here it is." Look at it carefully, don't say what you shouldn't say, if you talk too much, students will suffer."

What Bao Jingzhong said was correct, the examiner shouldn't speak at this time, if Lin Tianzheng speaks rashly, he may be taken as a reminder to Xu Zhiqiong, and Xu Zhiqiong will be counted as cheating at that time.

It was freezing cold, Xu Zhiqiong was sweating, and he thought to himself: Daoist, come out and help me.

The Taoist priest was watching Xu Zhiqiong in the dark, he knew the mystery of this question, but he was not in a hurry to speak, he wanted to see how smart this kid was.

Where is the difficulty of the topic?Xu Zhiqiong couldn't think of a clue for a while.

Suddenly Zhong Shen murmured: "What are you talking about with bare hands, and it's just a literary test, why use such a cover?"

Bare hands, the key is bare hands!

Xu Zhiqiong didn't make a sound for a long time, and Bao Jingzhong became impatient: "Every time I see him, I'm always so dawdling!"

This is a code for Zou Shunda.

Zou Shunda said: "If you don't answer again, I will count you as a failure of the exam!"

Xu Zhiqiong bit his lip, raised his head and said, "It's not that I don't answer, it's that I don't hit."

Zou Shunda was taken aback, and asked, "What do you mean?"

Xu Zhiqiong repeated: "I won't fight."

Counselor Zhong said, "Smart!"

Sui Zhi smiled and said: "Xu Rende is both wise and brave, how can the tiger father have dogs!"

Bao Jingzhong said angrily: "If you don't fight, you are cowardly. How can such a person gain fame?"

Lin Tianzheng pulled Bao Jingzhong back and said: "My lord, don't worry, just listen to what he has to say, he didn't cheat, I just watch it, if he talks too much, he loses his dignity."

Bao Jingzhong felt ashamed, he said this just now, and he couldn't speak now.

Zou Shunda asked Xu Zhiqiong: "Haven't you been fighting?"

Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said, "I'll wait for the Mohist cultivator to strike first, and then fight after he strikes. I'll only pick the place where the flesh can be seen, and beat to death."

Zou Shunda looked desperate and asked, "Why?"

Xu Zhiqiong said: "Because I don't know what weapon he uses."

Zou Shunda said: "Didn't you hear the question clearly? As I said, both sides are fighting with bare hands!"

Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said, "The other party is a Mohist, a poor student of the ninth rank. Bare hands and no weapons are two different things."

　Dear readers, give Zhiqiong a heart-to-heart comparison
