let go of my skin fairy

Chapter 107

Since there is a requirement of "above three realms", it is natural that the special recruitment ceremony cannot be a simple "literary examination".

In discussion with Cai Wenji...

The door was knocked.

Liu Hongyi hurried in.

"Brother Jiang, there is new news about the special recruitment ceremony!"

"Oh? Has the time been set?" Jiang Chaoge looked at Liu Hongyi.

"Yes, it starts at Chen time and ends at Xu time."

"Chen time?"

Jiang Chaoge nodded. Chenshi was eight o'clock in the morning, and Xushi was eight o'clock in the evening. The whole process lasted twelve hours.

Did it take so long to take the exam?

However, if you think about it, since it is a special ceremony ceremony of Jixia Academy... it is considered normal.

"There are a few more things." Liu Hongyi continued: "I don't know why, suddenly a large number of people announced that they will participate in this assessment. I heard that Jiang Chenshui has rushed over, and now he is in the capital."

"Jiang Chenshui?"

"Brother Jiang, don't you know? This Jiang Chenshui is also on the list of national scholars!"

"..." Jiang Chaoge.

Are there really people on the list of national scholars who want to participate in the assessment of Jixia Academy?

Isn't it a bit... overkill?

Seeing Jiang Chaoge's puzzled face, Cai Wenji explained from the side: "Wenji knows this person, and I heard that he is a genius in Taoism. The mysterious swordsmanship of the Taoist sect is the No.1 in the young life of the Daoist sect today!"

"No.1 among the younger generation of the Taoist sect?" Jiang Chaoge frowned slightly, and then asked, "What is the relationship between this Jiang Chenshui and the seven disciples of the Taoist sect?"

"He is the direct disciple of 'Wu Lingzi' among the seven disciples of Xuanmen!"

Sure enough...Jiang Chaoge realized something.

But Liu Hongyi continued: "It's not just Jiang Chenshui, I also heard that the seventh disciple of the Great Master will also participate in the assessment of Jixia Academy."

"Great Master? Qing Liangzao...does he also want to enter Jixia Academy?" Jiang Chaoge was a little puzzled.

"This is the strange thing. It is true that Qing Liangzao will never enter Jixia again, but this time the master personally presides over the trial. Maybe he feels that it is a little different from the previous ones." Liu Hongyi explained.

Jiang Chaoge nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Liu Hongyi went on to say: "In addition to these two, I also heard that two students from Han Xiangguo's sect will also come here, and the army will also send several people above the third realm, including warriors and military strategists!
These people suddenly announced that they would participate. By the way, there are also a few people from the royal family who will participate, but I don’t know who they are, and there are also the heads of the township examinations in various counties... The number of people participating in the assessment this time, I'm afraid there are no fewer than a hundred people! "

"So much?" Jiang Chaoge was a little surprised.

Because, according to his original guess, there are at most [-] or [-] people in the assessment of Jixia Academy this time. He didn't expect that there would be a scene of hundreds of people on the same stage?
Moreover, he had a vague feeling that someone seemed to have done this on purpose!
Liu Hongyi nodded: "That's right, the most important thing is that Master just announced that this special recruitment ceremony will only recruit three people."

"Three people?!" Jiang Chaoge frowned.

Why such a sudden decision?

Didn't Jixia Academy always take the name of "accepting talents from all over the world"?According to common sense, as long as you can pass the examination, you can enter the Jixia Academy to study.

and many more!

Could it be...the queen mother!
Jiang Chaoge thought of a possibility.

Although Jixia Academy is not in the court hall.

However, after all, with Daqin at his back, even the master cannot completely disobey the queen mother's opinion.

He had met the queen mother in Ruyifang two days ago. At that time, the queen mother suggested "let him enter the Hanlin Academy as an editor".

The meaning is obvious, that is, to temporarily "hide the edge".

In the end, Jiang Chaoge flatly rejected it.

Therefore, the Queen Mother put forward a new statement, "As long as he can enter the Jixia Academy, he will be given the position of guest minister."

"So that's how it is." Jiang Chaoge understood: "The reason for all this is because of "On River Governance."

The Empress Dowager did not want to carry out the "On River Governance", but there was no clear and reasonable reason for her refusal.

Moreover, the most important thing is that the young emperor has already issued an edict to the world, saying that Jiang Yu'er who wrote "On River Governance" is a "national scholar". Pushed "Theory of Governance" to the peak of public opinion.

At this time, if the Queen Mother blatantly opposed it, she would naturally be labeled as "ignoring public opinion".

Therefore, it is the best way to stop Jiang Yu'er in front of the gate of Jixia Academy!

Once Jiang Yu'er was not admitted to Jixia Academy.

The queen mother can say: "This son's talent is nothing more than that!"

As a result, "On River Governance" was naturally shelved.

"No wonder even Xiangguo Han Shen and Wuping Lord Mengliang sent people to participate in the assessment of this Jixia Academy. This is a typical target!"

"If I'm not mistaken, the Empress Dowager meant that only one person would be recorded, right? It seems that this Master does have some weight, and can limit the quota to three people."

Jiang Chaoge's eyes flashed.

He has never thought of participating in the court situation, but it seems that he has been involved since he entered the capital, or when he was designated as a 'national scholar' by the young emperor's imperial pen, and it is not up to him whether he wants to or not. .

"There is no way out. Confucianism regards fame as the foundation of practice. If I take this step back, my reputation will definitely be damaged. Only by killing myself can I climb to the top!"

Jiang Chaoge didn't want to retreat, and he wouldn't either.

……

Day two.

At the gate of Jixia Academy.

This is a huge garden built on the back hill of the capital.

Built on the mountain, extending from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, all belong to Jixia Academy.

Today is the day when Jixia Academy is open to the public. Countless talents and beauties in the capital gathered at the foot of the mountain early, waiting to watch this rare grand event.

Jiang Chaoge, Cai Wenji, Liu Hongyi and others were also among them.

"There are so many people!" Liu Hongyi looked around.

students taking the test.

Coupled with the crowd who came to watch, there were at least a thousand people.

A piece of black.

Fortunately, this Jixia Academy occupies a very large area, otherwise, there is a real possibility of people trampling on people.

Doorway.

The eight disciples of Jixia Academy are waiting in full force.

Among the eight people, there are six men and two women, all wearing the unique costumes of the academy, a long gown embroidered with gray and white ink, which looks elegant and extraordinary.

"The hour has come!"

Someone spoke.

Then, the door of the academy, which was originally closed, opened wide.

Jiang Chaoge looked over and saw a black stone tablet at a glance.

"This stele is Master's command stone." Liu Hongyi pointed to the stele: "If Master has instructions, it will be displayed on that command stone."

Treasure... Jiang Chaoge nodded.

Immediately, someone began to disperse the crowd.

"Those who participate in the assessment can enter through the left door, and everyone else can enter through the right door!"

Four men went to the right door, while two men and two women went to the left door, and stopped in front of the left door to check the name stickers.

"Brother Jiang, believe in yourself!" Liu Hongyi encouraged him.

Li Zeguang and Tang Jiezhi also blessed a few words.

Cai Wenji didn't say much.

Only Liang Wan'er seemed a little nervous: "Young Master Jiang, I heard that there are quite a few people participating in this assessment, but I believe Young Master Jiang will definitely be able to do it!"

"It's natural." Jiang Chaoge smiled.

He originally came here with the mentality of giving it a try, but in the current situation, there is no way out, and he must get one of the three places.

……

In front of the left door.

The four disciples of the Academy are looking at the name stickers.

Jiang Chaoge walked up and handed the name stickers he had prepared to one of the women.

The woman was extremely handsome, with long hair draped over her shoulders, and fair skin.

Received the name sticker from Jiang Chaoge.

The woman's eyes became a little surprised: "Huh? You are Jiang Yu'er? You are the head armor of the Huai'an County Township Examination, and you wrote the song "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix"?"

"Yes, Senior Sister." Jiang Chaoge responded politely.

"Senior Sister?" The woman was stunned for a moment, and then took a serious look at him: "Jiang Jieyuan, you haven't entered my Jixia Academy yet, isn't it too early to call you Senior Sister?"

"You can enter today." Jiang Chaoge smiled back.

"Jiang Jieyuan is quite confident." The woman nodded with a slight smile: "Since this is the case, Senior Sister will give you a kind advice."

"Also ask the senior sister to show me!"

"Remember to preserve your strength, the last level...is the most important thing!"

"So that's how it is." Jiang Chaoge saluted immediately: "I just don't know how many levels there are in this assessment?"

The woman leaned closer to his ear and whispered: "There are three passes in total, and they are all the most beautiful scenery in my Jixia Academy. I will tell you secretly, so don't tell others."

"Okay, Senior Sister!"

Just as Jiang Chaoge was about to express his gratitude again, he heard a man in front of him who was also wearing a school uniform shout: "There are three levels in this assessment. Everyone can save their strength in the first two levels. Do you understand?"

The sound is so loud that everyone can hear it.

So, there was an immediate response.

"Thank you, brother, for reminding me!"

"Thank you, brother!"

"..."

Jiang Chaoge looked at the woman in front of him again.

The woman's face was calm: "Jiang Jieyuan, I've finished my advice, why don't you go in?"

"I want to ask my senior sister's name?" Jiang Chaoge said again.

"Ye Weirui."

"The orchid leaves are luxuriant in spring, and the osmanthus and flowers are bright and clean in autumn; the name of senior sister is so good!"

Jiang Chaoge praised, without further words, strode into the academy.

Ye Weirui froze in place for a moment, constantly recalling the poems just now, and even forgot to check the name stickers of the people behind.

Until someone reminded her: "Senior sister? It's my turn!"

"Ah..." Luo Weirui came back to her senses, with a blush on her face: "What a poem, this Jiang Yuer... is really amazing in poetry, no wonder Master will personally participate in this assessment."

"Huh? Is the one who passed by in front of you Jiang Yu'er from Huai'an County?"

"correct."

"I didn't expect him to come! Did he just recite poems? What poems did he recite?"

"The orchid leaves are luxuriant in spring, and the osmanthus flowers are bright and clean in autumn."

"Good verse!"

……

A small line of poetry.

All the students who participated in this assessment had their eyes on Jiang Chaoge.

In an instant, it became the focus.

However, Jiang Chaoge didn't take it seriously because, among the people present this time, he was not the only one who became the focus.

And Jiang Chenshui.

It was a young man wearing a navy blue Taoist robe, with a long sword slung across his back, thick eyebrows, and very sharp eyes, like a sword with a hidden edge.

There are no weak people who are famous on the list of national scholars!
In addition, Jiang Chaoge also met a few people in the discussion among the crowd.

The seventh disciple of the Great Master - Gargamel.

A young man in green clothes and a green hat. He is... quite short, only about 1.6 meters tall. Moreover, he looks weak and weak, so he is not conspicuous in the crowd.

However, to be accepted as a personal heir by the great master, the strength is naturally impossible to be inferior.

come again...

It was a young girl who caught Jiang Chaoge's attention.

Because this girl was standing very close to him, and her dress was a bit too stunning.

She was wearing a long fiery red dress, and a silver armor with a pattern of hundreds of patterns on top of the long skirt. This silver armor was extremely extraordinary at first glance, with fiery red streamers flowing on it.

The most special thing is the long spear in her hand. The barrel of the gun is forged with spiral gold patterns, and the tip of the gun is blue, like a drop of water.

The girl was standing three steps away from him, her big eyes were staring at her closely, her gaze was constantly sweeping over his body, her cherry red lips seemed to be muttering something.

It seems that there seems to be some kind of "lower" plan.

Jiang Chaoge couldn't hear what the girl said clearly.

However, at this moment, an old man with a gray beard and a large Confucian shirt came out.

Immediately someone called out.

"It's Fang Daru!"

"Late birth, met Fang Daru!"

"Fang Daru is good."

Immediately, a bunch of people saluted the old man.

Jiang Chaoge had never seen the old man before, so naturally he didn't take the initiative to go forward.

And a moment later...

The four school disciples who were originally at the left door also came over.

The four of them also saluted the old man, and then they all stood aside.

The old man known as 'Fang Daru' stood in front of everyone, and glanced lightly at the people in front of him.

"Old man, Fang Xiaojing!"

Fang Xiaojing? !Jiang Chaoge finally knew who this was.

Because, when he was in Huai'an County, he had heard one thing, saying that the reason why Cai Wenji became the oiran of Cuiwei Building was because she was praised by Fang Xiaojing.

A word of praise can make a peerless oiran. The reputation of Fang Xiaojing in Daqin can be imagined.

……

Fang Xiaojing did not introduce himself too much.

Because the three words of Fang Xiaojing are enough.

After he finished speaking, he continued.

"All of you are the pillars of our Great Qin Dynasty. It is also my honor to gather in Jixia Academy today! This special recruitment ceremony is conducted by the master himself. I, Fang Xiaojing, are just a guide, but , since it is an assessment, some rules still need to be explained in advance, please keep it in mind!"

"Yes!"

Everyone nodded in unison.

Fang Xiaojing also clasped his hands together, and responded with Confucian etiquette: "There are only three rules: First, please sign your name on this certificate of life and death before taking part in the assessment. Regardless of life or death, you will be with me." The academy has nothing to do with it."

Life and death status?Jiang Chaoge was taken aback for a moment.

Are you playing so big?

He looked around and found that no one raised any objections.

And then, Fang Xiaojing continued: "Second, because the number of admissions is limited this time, there are only three people, so private fighting is not prohibited during the assessment process, but if one party 'admits defeat' or voluntarily 'quits', The winner must never hurt the opponent's life again, otherwise, the Jixia Academy will never be hired, and at the same time, it will be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment for review, and the crime will be judged according to the Qin law!"

"Yes!"

Everyone responded again.

Jiang Chaoge didn't speak, which is reasonable.

He was waiting for Fang Xiaojing to say the third point.

Fang Xiaojing also said: "Thirdly, there is only one opportunity for assessment in each level. If you feel that you are not strong enough, or you are not fully sure, you can rest in place first. The final assessment is mainly based on 'grading'. Only when the ratings are the same, the assessment time will be determined, so everyone needs to be cautious when participating in the assessment!"

"Understood, thank you Fang Daru for reminding me."

"Okay, the location of this assessment is located in the three scenic spots of our Jixia Academy, which are Dashilin, Luojian Lake and Shushan Peak, and the examination questions are also among them. You can see it naturally when you go. The location of the first two places is not in any order, but only after passing the first two places can you participate in the final assessment! The final destination is the Baihe River at the peak of the scholar, and the top three in this assessment will be selected. , into Jixia Academy!"

When everyone heard this, they all understood.

Ratings take precedence, however, time is also important.

"Okay, the assessment begins. After everyone signs their names on the certificate of life and death, please do what you want!"

After Fang Xiaojing finished speaking, he turned around and left, leaving only four school disciples in place, holding certificates of life and death for everyone to sign.

And then, the four disciples pointed out the directions of the Great Stone Forest and Luojian Lake to everyone. Naturally, the students did not delay any longer, and walked towards the two directions one after another.

After Jiang Chaoge signed his name, he was about to leave when he saw the girl in the red skirt approaching.

"Are you Jiang Yu'er who wrote "On Governing the River" and "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix"?"

"Exactly, I wonder who the girl is?" Jiang Chaoge nodded and asked politely.

"My name is Luo Yu. This is the first time you have come to Jixia Academy, right? If you want to pass the examination, you'd better follow me." After Luo Yu finished speaking, she raised her head.

It showed three points of self-confidence and seven points of arrogance.

Jiang Chaoge once again looked seriously at the girl in front of him.

He looks very delicate, like a doll, but after thinking about it, he still asked, "Why can I pass the test if I follow you?"

"Stupid, although you are extremely talented, you haven't formally entered the Confucian realm, especially the big stone forest, which is actually a formation of a military strategist. Without me... can you get out?" Luo Yu pouted.

"Do you understand the formation of military strategists?"

"don't know."

"Then how can you take me out?"

"Stupid, although I don't know formation techniques, I am very familiar with this Jixia Academy."

"Are...how familiar?"

"Very familiar!"

"Could it be that you are the granddaughter of the master?"

"You are the master's granddaughter!" Luo Yu glared at Jiang Chaoge, "I have the opportunity... no, I have already given it to you, don't be ignorant of compliments!"

"So you are a princess?" Jiang Chaoge grasped the 'key point' in the other party's words, and suddenly realized.

"You...how did you know?" Luo Yu's mouth opened wide.

"Because I'm stupid!"

"..."

"Let's go, I've decided to follow you." Jiang Chaoge offered to show his favor.

"Hmph, I'm telling you, don't think that you are good-looking and have a poetic talent. This princess really can only rely on you to pass the examination. In fact, you are asking me for help, you know?"

"I know, but, can Her Royal Highness fail the assessment by herself?"

"I... how could I not pass the test?" Luo Yu looked surprised, as if caught by the tail: "Why are you looking at me? Well, let me tell you secretly, in fact, I have a wife Exam questions, you can easily pass the exam, it's amazing."

"..." Jiang Chaoge.

Whoever believes this... is a fool!

……

The two walked forward side by side.

Soon, another green shadow approached from nowhere.

Short stature, thin and frail.

It was Gargamel, the seventh disciple of the Great Master.

Gargamel in front of him, with mung bean-like eyes, looked around with a sneaky look on his face.

Jiang Chaoge thought that Gargamel had come to look for him.

But it's not.

"Your Highness, Third Princess, here are some treasures that Master has just refined, do you want them?" After Gargamel finished speaking, he lifted a corner of his green robe, and immediately covered it up again.

"What treasure?" Luo Yu's eyes lit up.

"A 'Spiritual Brain Pill', after taking it, can make the mind very clear immediately, improve memory, and there are two treasures for body protection, which are..."

"Forget about the treasures for body protection. This princess has plenty. Let me have a look at your 'Spiritual Brain Pill'?" Luo Yu interrupted without waiting for the other party to finish speaking.

"Okay, but this pill was refined by Master himself, it may be a bit more expensive, one piece costs 800 taels of silver!" Gargamel took out a white bottle.

Two thousand 800 taels of silver, what the hell... Is this guy here to steal money? !Who will be fooled by him?

Jiang Chaoge saw through this Gege's trick at a glance.

Just about to speak.

Luo Yu grabbed the bottle and said, "That's right, the princess is here!"

Take advantage of!
Looking at Luo Yu, Jiang Chaoge felt some new understanding in his heart.

After Gargamel sold the pills, he finally looked at Jiang Chaoge: "If I'm not wrong, you are Jiang Yuer from Huai'an County, right?"

"Exactly." Jiang Chaoge nodded.

"I still have two treasures for body protection, do you want them? They were both refined by my master!"

"How much silver?"

"It's not expensive, let's count it as 3000 taels for one piece."

"30 taels, can you sell it?"

"..." Ge Gewu froze for a moment, looking at Jiang Chaoge with a strange look in his eyes: "Jiang Jieyuan, don't you look down on us Qingliangzao?"

"No, I simply have no money." Jiang Chaoge said truthfully.

"If you don't have money, you should have said it earlier." Gargamel didn't say anything more.

He ran away in a flash.
