Way of Choices

The pen walks on the snow-white paper, just like people walking in the desert, sometimes making a rustling sound, sometimes silent.

It seemed that there were many mulberry trees and many silkworms in Zhaowen Temple.

Chen Changsheng held the pen and seriously answered the questions on the scroll. His pen did not walk the dragon and snake on the scroll, and he wrote seriously, drawing one stroke at a time, seriously or even a bit cautious.

Because of being cautious, he was nervous when he looked at it. In fact, his mind was very relaxed. Numerous articles he had read since childhood, like the fallen leaves in the wind, flew across his mind constantly. Looking at the topic, he would take the leaves. Take a piece lightly, and copy it, that is, where you need to think for a long time-the question that needs to be thought to reach a conclusion, has not yet appeared, and in the several test papers I have seen, there is no knowledge beyond the scope of Daozang The priests who have been assessed and asked questions have not yet demonstrated the wisdom of countless former wise men.

Gou Hanshi not far away, put down the pen and rubbed his wrists, and then continued to scroll, his expression calm and relaxed, as if he was taking notes in Wenshu Lishu.

The Zhaowen Temple is quiet, and you can only hear the sounds of reading the test paper and writing, and occasionally hear a cough or two, which represents tension.

At this time, something that no one thought of happened—someone submitted it in advance.

Of course, it is not Gou Hanshi, nor Chen Changsheng. Their pen just fell on the paper and began to write. As the most favored person in the literary test, at least all the papers must be completed?

The first one to turn in the papers is not the Xuanyuan broken-there is no elimination of the literary test. If you are really not good at it, simply give up. Tang 36 said this to him. This is also what many college teachers or sect elders said to the disciples. This is the so-called experience-if later the martial arts test and the performance of the battle are excellent, even if there is no result of the written test at all, there is hope to enter the top three.

Early submission is very common in the annual Korean test, but this year some people submit early in advance, which still makes people very surprised, because it is too early.

The first person to surrender is the young man in the list that Chen Changsheng has been paying attention to. The young man didn't even read the paper. More precisely, when the paper was just sent to his desk, he got up and took the paper to the position of the examiner. What is the difference between this and the abandoned test? This is abandonment.

In the past dynasty exams, even if there were many people like Xuanyuanbo, who had inherited the experience imparted by their predecessors and teachers, they would simply give up the literary exams, but they always thought of leaving some face to the court and the state religion, at least in Submit the paper after half an hour in the examination room.

The teenager didn't hesitate, he immediately abandoned the exam as soon as he opened it, and he seemed completely ignorant of the human world. The candidates looked at his back, they were very surprised, and some people showed a look of gloating, thinking about the examiner. It will happen on the spot without leaving any good impression.

The teenager walked to the examiner's seat and put the paper on the table.

The stack of thick papers is naturally blank.

Several examiners sent by the imperial court and the state religion stared at the young man, silently, and the atmosphere was a little weird.

A priest broke the silence and said in a cold voice: "Are you sure you want to turn in?"

The young man's looks are beautiful, the biggest feature is a pair of eyebrows is very thin, very flat, looks like a straight line, but it is not ugly, but it seems a little indifferent.

Listening to the priest's question, the teenager still had no expression on his face and asked, "Can't it?"

When speaking, his thin eyebrows were raised slightly, and he seemed bored, and he seemed to dislike talking to people.

His voice was soft like ice, his voice flat like a wilderness, and his speech was very slow.

The priest frowned slightly, and said a little displeasedly: "According to the rules of the dynasty test, it is natural to submit the paper in advance, but...

Without waiting for the priest to finish talking, the teenager said, "I hand in the papers."

The speech rate is still very slow, the tone is still very calm, the mood is still very cold, the expression is very clear, the will is very firm, that is, nothing is too much.

The priest glanced at the blank question paper and said nothing more. Another examiner sharply reprimanded: "You can't get into the second class now, but you should feel ashamed if you are a little ashamed, and you are so proud, I really don't know how your teacher taught you!"

The teenager remained expressionless and did not answer this sentence.

He didn’t have a teacher, he came to participate in the Dacha test, just to participate in the battle, he wanted to defeat everyone, especially the little girl in the White Emperor City, and told himself again that he was the strongest. He did not care at all in the first place.

Later, someone took the teenager to leave Zhaowen Temple and went to the martial arts venue.

Hundreds of candidates in the hall looked at the teenager as they moved away, their eyes somewhat complicated.

Gou Hanshi vaguely guessed who the young man was, and his expression became a little dignified.

Zhuang Huanyu raised his eyebrows slightly, his expression remained calm, but there was some uneasiness in the depths of his eyes.

After half an hour, there were candidates submitting papers one after another.

The candidates were taken away from Zhaowen Temple by officials and walked along the Shinto in the palace for a long time, and they came to the place of the martial arts test-Chaoyang Garden.

Chaoyang Garden is a large garden to the east of the palace. During spring and Jingming, countless meadows are green like sea, countless trees have a faint forest, smell birds in the morning, watch the water at dusk, and the scenery is extremely beautiful. The winter has just passed, the spring is coming, the grass is slightly yellow, but the scenery is still very charming.

What is the real intention of the dynasty test?

Selecting talents for the state religion and the court, setting the threshold for the Taoist tombs? Yes, these are all, but the ultimate goal of the dynasty test is to select and train more and more truly talented young people to reserve follow-up forces for the war with the demons.

The Demon Race's single combat power is too strong. Humans and Demon Races can only struggle against each other by relying on the advantages of quantity. Since thousands of years ago, people have realized that only a more truly peerless power can be cultivated. In order to gain a real and overwhelming advantage in this war.

In the long road of spiritual practice, Tongyou is the most important threshold. Once this threshold is crossed, it will become the focus of the human world, but age is also a very important reference value. A thirty-year-old sitting photo The importance of the environment to the human world is far less than that of the 13-year-old sitting portrait. This is the truth that everyone understands. Otherwise, even if you are 800 years old, you finally enter the star field, but you have already run out of lights. Withered, it is no longer possible to enter the highest realm, what is the significance of this war with the demons?

Therefore, just like the Heaven and Earth People List issued by the Tianji Pavilion, the Dachao Test pays more attention to the potential and talents of candidates, and looks at the future. Talent and potential are actually the same thing in a sense, except that the latter has more subjective and active factors than the former. Together, it shows ability.

The military test is the most direct means for the dynasty to achieve its goals.

Geniuses such as Xu Yourong and Luoluo, their bloodline talents are innate and cannot be tested without need, but their abilities can be tested. The first is the intensity of the consciousness, which determines the distance of the candidate's destiny star and determines the efficiency of practice in a unit of time. The second is the number of true yuans, which is related to the diligence of the candidates and the perception efficiency of the world.

Under the leadership of the officials, the candidates walked through the Chaoyang Garden to the east and the deepest. They did not see the young man who had the earliest intercourse, but only saw the two people who were tall and trimmed with extremely flat holly bushes in front of them. Cong, some Kyoto candidates knew the origin of this green forest, only to understand that this year's military test turned out to be such a content, and could not help whining silently in their hearts.

...

...

Regardless of the difficult situation faced by candidates preparing to participate in the martial arts test, the literary test in Zhaowen Temple continues. Some students bite their pens and their faces are pale, as if they may faint at any time, and some students are in the cold early spring. It turned out to be sweaty, with a slight heat on her body, and the atmosphere in the field was extremely depressed.

——This year's test questions are too difficult, involving too much knowledge and deep knowledge, far more than in previous years. No matter how hard it is, after all, the manpower is sometimes poor. There are constantly candidates who are defeated in the battle with the problem-solver and submit the papers in advance. Then, crying will come from behind the Zhaowen Temple from time to time.

The eyes of the examiner and the priests increasingly fell on the two of Gou Hanshi and Chen Changsheng, but they seemed to be unaware and continued to work on the question paper without stopping the pen in their hands.

With the passage of time, there were only more than ten people left in the Zhaowen Temple, most of the seats have been removed, and the field was more empty and deserted. Even the remaining people have already given up the answers to the last few pages of the paper and started Check the previous answers carefully, hoping not to make mistakes that should not be made, Gou Hanshi and Chen Changsheng are still answering questions.

In the early spring, the sun moved from the horizon to the middle, and fewer and fewer people were still taking the written test. Even the four young scholars in Tianhai Shengxue and Huaiyuan had finished answering the questions. Gou Hanshi and Chen Changsheng continued to remain silent. Answer, they have already answered the last page.

The examiners and priests in the hall could no longer sit down, and left the tables and chairs and came to the field with tea. Because they were worried about the two people answering the questions, they were not too close. They watched this scene from a distance. In the hard-to-appear picture, no one made any sound, and the expression on his face became more and more exciting.

——In these years of dynasty examinations, no one has been able to finish all the questions of the written examination. Because the people who got the questions in the literary exams are old priests who have studied the Taoist scriptures in the palace. Those old priests or ordinary practitioners have no power, but they are buried in the old paper piles and are extremely knowledgeable. They are used to the last few pages. It is extremely difficult to write some of the hardest questions in the question papers to prove their worth. It is extremely difficult for these knowledgeable old priests to answer the questions by themselves, let alone those students who come to take the written test.

Gou Hanshi claimed to have read Dao Zang, and Chen Changsheng now has the same praise, or precisely because of this, those learned old priests in the palace were irritated. The questions for this year’s dynasty exam were much more difficult than in previous years, especially the last few pages. The volume is even more extreme, and it is to embarrass Gou Hanshi and Chen Changsheng.

The examiner and the priests knew the inside story of this year's writing test. At this time, they watched Gou Hanshi and Chen Changsheng actually answered the last page. They seemed to be able to complete all the papers, which was naturally shocking.

Tianhai Shengxue had already handed in. He stood at the gate of the hall, looking back at the hall where Gou Hanshi and Chen Changsheng were still answering questions, frowning, as the most promising heir of the Tianhai family, he never relaxed his requirements , But the last few pages of the question papers are too difficult. He wonders why Gou Hanshi and Chen Changsheng can continue to answer the questions. Is there really such a big gap between the two sides in terms of knowledge?

The scholars at Huaiyuan should be proud of the countdown, but they should be proud of the truth, but looking at the two people who still hold the pen static book in the field, they can’t produce this emotion. They are not surprised that Gou Hanshi, who has a scientific name outside, can persist until now. However, they thought that the young man named Chen Changsheng would certainly not be able to produce the last few pages of the paper. It must have been a vanity, refused to leave, and his face could not help showing a mocking look.

I don't know how long it has passed.

In the quiet Zhaowen Temple, the sound of rubbing clothes and tables and chairs sounded, the sound of discussion and the faint restlessness could no longer be suppressed, and it sounded from the east side.

Gou Hanshi finished answering the questions and stood up.

Almost at the same time, the sound of tables and chairs moving came from the west, sorting out the sounds of the test papers.

People looked over there and saw Chen Changsheng holding the question paper in his arms, preparing to hand in the paper.

The quiet came back to the hall.

Gou Hanshi and Chen Changsheng separated from each other by more than ten feet, looked at each other quietly, then bowed slightly to salute.

For the first time since the bell rang, they saw each other, of course, they always knew each other was there.

The written test ended, and the large silence outside the Zhaowen Temple was removed, and a wave-like voice poured in.

The people who came to see the Dachao test were blocked in a very far place. Even so, the voice still reached the room. It can be imagined how lively there should be at this time.

...

...

Looking at the lively people, I have learned the specifics of the written test at this time. I know that Gou Hanshi and Chen Changsheng have finally handed in the papers, and they have answered all the questions in the papers. The young man finally turned in together, and the picture was fascinating when he thought about it.

Gou Hanshi is famous all over the world and is the first place in the literary test. It is very respected by the world, but after all, he is a young man from the south. Although Chen Changsheng offended all young men in Kyoto because of his marriage contract with Xu Yourong and the story of autumn rain, But after all, it was the Zhou people. At this time, it became the pride of the people of Kyoto and the people of Zhou. Most people were applauding him.

Gou Hanshi and Chen Changsheng could not hear what the people in the distance were shouting, took the towels from the deacons, wet them in the water basin, washed their faces and hands, sorted them out, and walked out under the leadership of the officials Zhaowen Temple, obviously, these are the treatments unique to the two of them.

Going under the green tree in front of the Shinto, Gou Hanshi asked him: "Although Zhou is an old state, his fate is the only reason, what do you think of this question?"
