If I am not a Confucian saint, I will set off a revolution

Xun Shangshu rushed to the venue, and the six examiners were eagerly waiting for him.

When they came to the door, the examiners who were originally discussing turned their gazes over.

"Aren't your examination rooms all outside the holy realm?"

Looking at these subordinates, Xun Shangshu smiled.

Several major examiners also smiled, and then showed the test papers in their hands one by one.

"The way of calligraphy, the way of painting and the way of chess?"

Xun Shangshu looked at these six test papers and was a little surprised.

In previous years, there wasn’t even one. This year, there were six.

Sure enough, this year is an unusual year.

There are six test papers for children, including three chapters on calligraphy, two chapters on painting, and one chapter on chess.

Xun Shangshu looked at several other people: "What do you think?"

"Reporting to the examiner, I suspect that the person who wrote this paper is not a child under the age of seventeen. I need to check the student's name and place of origin, and then check whether he meets the requirements."

Xun Shangshu raised his eyes: "Have you finished reading all the papers?"

Without further ado, Shangshu Xun immediately started reading from the article on chess.

The other major examiners all nodded in agreement.

But there must also be a valid reason.

Several major examiners looked at each other.

"Huh? Why is this?" Shangshu Xun was very humble and thought he didn't see it. Then he looked up at the other examiners.

"What do you think?" Xun Shangshu asked.

And in this strangulation, the white chess tried to trap the candidate's black chess, directly forming a dragon-binding lock, which was about to become a dead end.

It’s impossible to say, are you curious about the outcome of the chess game in this paper?
Although everyone present was so curious that they almost scratched their heads, they couldn't say that.

This test paper contains the art of chess, and every horizontal, vertical, left, right, and right stroke contains a mysterious feeling.

Ordinary examiners cannot open their names, but as the examiner, Shangshu Xun can.

The chief examiner who came with this paper came forward and reported with a serious face: "I would like to apply to open the cover of the book to verify my identity!"

However, this big black dragon just couldn’t die.
I have read the entire article, but I still have this feeling of being neither dead nor alive, which is extremely weird.

Examiners are not allowed to open the envelope at will.

Xun Shangshu couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If he couldn't break the dragon lock, it would prove that the candidate's chess skills were mediocre.

The examiner who came with this paper pointed to where the test paper was sealed and said, "Xiaguan was also confused at first, but then he faintly discovered that the dragon's vitality seemed to be drawn here."

Place of birth and name!
However, before the list is released, the place of birth and name must be sealed.

The entire test paper, when viewed as a whole, does not look like a test paper. Each text is like a dotted set of black and white chess pieces strangled together.

The black dragon was bound tighter and tighter, and was about to be strangled.

The other examiners all looked serious and said in unison: "Please open the name of the chief examiner to verify your identity!"

"Yes." Xun Shangshu nodded slightly: "Then I will open this title."

He turned over his hand and took out a token with the word "kao" on it, which was full of writing.

Then he waved the token at the test paper, and the seal on the test paper immediately dissipated.

Everyone immediately raised their heads to look at it, and Shangshu Xun couldn't wait to open his eyes to see it.

On the far left, two words came into view.

But it is the word "Confucius"!
A flying phoenix with the character "hole" seemed to turn into a small black dragon. The black dragon curled up and became the character "hole", and also became a dragon ball.

And another word "Confucianism" turned into an eye, called the Eye of the Black Dragon.

The finishing touch! The black dragon spits beads!

The next moment, the chess game on the entire test paper came to life, breaking the dragon lock and rising into the sky, creating a scene of "a hidden dragon in the abyss" and then a "flying dragon in the sky".

"Wonderful! So wonderful!"

Seeing this scene, Shangshu Xun was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but admire it.

If he had done this test paper, he might have done better, and it might have been done by someone else.

However, the difficulty is that this is the first time!
Just like the principle of steam, gravity, etc., these are all easy to understand. After the theorems are made, everyone feels that they can do it too, or even do it better.

However, who would have thought before the concept of “just one more bottle” came along? Who could have thought of it before "fighting Xixi to chop it off"?
As the first chess game in history, the question is the opponent and the answer is the piece.

In the future, someone may design a more brilliant chess game, but they are not the pioneers. Only the candidate named "Kong Ru" is the pioneer.

Xun Shangshu could imagine how many people would be curious if this test paper was posted.

"Confucius? Confucius? The Confucian sage family is also born..." Xun Shangshu sighed with emotion.

Several other people also had complicated expressions on their faces.

Confucius’ holy land is even comparable to the mainland of China.

And there are also many outstanding people in its sanctuary, including many geniuses.

The Kong Sheng family outside is in a state of semi-seclusion, and even people who come out of it will use pseudonyms.

But now, this genius has entered the world under his real name.

This proves that the family of Confucius and the sanctuary of Confucius will also be born.

"What a troubled time!"

Xun Shangshu shook his head, and then began to read the two answers based on the method of painting. One painted the picture of the King of Peonies and the other painted the picture of clear springs and flowing stones.

Both have their own merits, but they are much worse than Confucius.

With the chess game of Black Dragon Flying in front of him, the pictures on these two papers seemed ordinary.

As for the rest?

Xun Shangshu was a little uninterested. To know more about him, he would have read the book on calligraphy first.

You know, the way of calligraphy is probably to write more beautifully, and there is the possibility of following Wang Xizhi's holy path.

Even people from Wang Xizhi's sanctuary came to participate in the exam.

But, how uncharacteristic it is!
He writes well every year, and to be honest he is tired of it.

If he had some interest before, now he has no interest at all.

"Are there no such excellent test papers in other areas?" Xun Shangshu asked.

After learning that there was no such thing, Shangshu Xun said: "In that case, let's post these test papers tomorrow."

"The papers for chess are placed at the top, followed by drawing, and calligraphy is third."

The chess papers can be regarded as the best in the capital area.

Even if there are other geniuses in other palaces in the Holy Dynasty, it is estimated that it will be difficult to compete with these papers in the capital.

After all, this is the capital city. How embarrassing would it be if the posted model test papers were not as good as other places?

"Master Shangshu, don't you take a look at these articles?" An examiner took out the test paper and said, "I saw that this font has a unique feel, perhaps it can be compared with that 'chess scroll'."

Xun Shangshu didn't want to look at it, but he accidentally caught a glimpse of the test paper in the examiner's hand.

The fonts are powerful, deep, and penetrating, and...

Xun Shangshu suddenly remembered something, his pupils shrank, and his lips trembled as he said: "No, this... yes, you were right just now! The font on this test paper can be called a unique one, promising the holy way!"

"Put this test paper at the top, followed by the chess test, the third by the painting test, and the rest of the calligraphy at the bottom!" (End of this chapter)
