Chapter 289 Written Examination
The exam has begun.
Li Qi wrote, faced the written test paper that was handed out, and began to answer the questions honestly.
However, he didn't know that someone was staring at him from behind.
Tai Xuecheng and an unknown official stood together to supervise the students and prevent fraud.
However, even though they were supervising students, their eyes were almost entirely focused on Li Qi.
"How is Li Cheng prepared?" the mysterious man asked Tai Xuecheng.
"Everything is ready, even the east wind is not missing." Tai Xuecheng said with a smile.
"Oh? What questions did Li Cheng arrange? How can he be so confident?" The mysterious man continued to ask.
The communication between the two of them is done by secret methods, so others will never hear, and they don't have to worry about gossip. I spoke out because I was worried that the sound would affect the students taking exams.
Hearing this question, Taixue Cheng also smiled and said: "This Li Qi is the master of Wushenshan. He once made a name for himself at a state banquet and debated with Liu Junyi and Assistant Liu without falling behind. It can be seen that he is good at ancient books and is proficient in the ways of Wushen sacrifice and governance. , He is also a master of Wu Zhu Xingren, and he can be regarded as a master of many arts. He deserves to be called the Master of Wu Shenshan, and he is indeed very capable."
He frankly admitted Li Qi's level, after all, you couldn't hide it.
In order to come up with these questions, he even watched the video of Li Qi debating everyone at the state banquet to welcome the Grand Wizard of Wushen Mountain several times, specifically trying to figure out his weaknesses.
It's just that this young master is really mysterious. He first appeared in Guangyang, Baiyue, where he was said to have presided over a grand ceremony alone. Before that, he had never had any reputation.
It seems that Wu Shenshan deliberately concealed it.
I want to use magical powers to trace his past, but there is no way. A powerful person has personally blocked his future and past. The witchcraft is good at divination. Although the humane realm is also involved, it is not as good as the great witches, so it cannot be traced back.
The mysterious man also knew the joints, so he was very curious about how Tai Xuecheng arranged it and what a 'foolproof' method it was.
"Without him, it's just difficult." Tai Xuecheng said with a smile.
"I summarized what Li Qi is good at and read a lot of ancient books. Since he is good at this, I will start from here. For various truncation questions, even I have to read books and check while writing. over."
"He is someone who can compete with Liu Junyi. You also know what kind of person Liu Junyi is. What if he really answers the meaning of these ancient books?" The mysterious man was a little worried.
Even he had heard of Liu Junyi's reputation. This person had been booked by the Ministry of Rites a long time ago. If he can still be so good after he reaches the fifth rank, then there will be a position for him in the Ministry of Rites.
He is only in the eighth rank now, which shows how much the Ministry of Rites values him.
Tai Xuecheng said: "I have also taken this into consideration, so the written test is just an appetizer. Regarding his practical test questions, I chose the Sansheng Ancient Mirror for him."
The mysterious man was surprised now.
He raised his voice a little: "Does he have the qualifications to activate the Three Lives Ancient Mirror?"
Tai Xuecheng nodded with a smile: "He is a genius. When I was doing the information, it was reported that people from ninth grade to eighth grade in one year were reported. If we search a hundred years ago, how many people from ninth grade to eighth grade in one year would be listed? personal?"
To be honest, no one believed that this Master of Wushen Mountain had entered the eighth level from the ninth level in just one year, but they only thought that Li Qi had entered the ninth level for the first time when he was in Guangyang.
No one believed that he was entering the ninth level for the first time at that time, but he dealt with the situation as such.
"Since he has used the Three Lives Ancient Mirror, he probably won't be able to pass this level." After hearing this, the mysterious man nodded with relief and stopped asking.
Both knew exactly what it was.
Naturally, it is called an ancient mirror, and it is naturally passed down from ancient times.
According to the world view of the world, if it can be called an ancient mirror, it is indeed very ancient. It is said that it happened more than ten generations ago.
This is quite strange. Although the human emperor of the human path has a long lifespan for ordinary people, compared to the first-level people of other paths, the human emperor does not seem to be immortal. The specific reason is not known.
The wizard gods of that era were still alive, but the Human Emperor had already passed through more than ten generations.
More than ten generations before the emperor, it was not even the Tang Dynasty, but other dynasties. There were monks in the Western Buddhist country named Kashemateng. They carried the scriptures with great perseverance and followed suit from the Central Plains to preach. They also translated the two billion monks of the Samanatha word for word. The scriptures are widely circulated in the Central Plains and have many believers in humane lands.
At that time, he traveled all the way from the Western Regions to Luoyang, built temples, and spread Buddhism widely. He was called the "Source of Buddhism in the Middle Earth."
But he was a foreign monk after all. In order to build temples and pagodas in Luoyang, Kashemateng paid tribute to the emperor at that time and presented tributes, one of which was the Three Lives Ancient Mirror.
The Human Emperor allowed them to preach and gave them a piece of land to build a temple. The temple is now a sect of its own, with its influence spread across the Central Plains, the East China Sea, and even the southeastern monster clan. These Buddhist lines are called the 'ancestral court'.
It is impossible that the human emperor at that time did not know the consequences, but still rewarded this piece of land for Kashemateng to build a temple. Although he did not know the reason behind it, it can be seen that this precious mirror could be used as a tribute at that time. It should have played a role.
Today, this ancient mirror of three generations has reached the third level, but it has not been born with spiritual wisdom, and it is unlikely that it will have spiritual wisdom in the future, so it is left in Chang'an as a public tool for people to use.
This mirror has no destructive power, but one thing is that it can trace back three lives, see through his past life, this life, and the next life, and then find the weak points of his Taoist heart.
As for what to use this for, it depends on the ability of the holder. This mirror is only responsible for finding weaknesses. How to exploit this weakness is the user's business.
Now, people in Tang Dynasty use this mirror to reflect on themselves.
After applying and being approved, you can go to the Sansheng Ancient Mirror to see your weak points clearly, and then go back and reflect on yourself to make up for your weak points.
Therefore, this mirror is very popular. Although it consumes a lot of energy to activate it, making it expensive, there is still an endless stream of people coming to it.
This time, Tai Xuecheng took advantage of the practical opportunity and asked Li Qi to look at the Three Lives Treasure Mirror and find its weaknesses. Then, as the examiner, he personally went into battle and used his demonic thoughts to break through the Taoist heart and firmly suppress Li Qi. die.
For this purpose, he took out a ray of demonic energy from the secondary demon that he transformed into the free demon, which was also a sixth-level existence.
The demonic energy of the sixth-grade demon, and it is also the secondary seed of the demon he transformed into, coupled with the weakness of the Taoist heart peeked by the ancient mirror of three lives, even the real sixth-grade practitioners dare not say that they can survive, let alone It’s just an eighth grade.
If the Taoist heart is invaded by demonic energy, no matter how talented you are, it is impossible to cross such a huge gap to resist, and there will definitely be huge sequelae.
The demonic energy of the secondary demon that he transformed into the demon of freedom invaded the Taoist heart. This is not an ordinary injury. It depends on whether this young master has the ability to get out on his own.
When Dao's heart is hurt, others can't help, not even his master can help.
This is why these two people are relieved.
Even if someone traces it later, there will be no problem. If someone comes to ask, the answer is because Li Qi is too good. They just set the test standards that an excellent person should have. This has always been the rule of Taixue.
But I didn't expect that Li Qi had a silver-like pewter spear head. How could you blame him?
As for causing a diplomatic incident?
Will not.
No one died, just a young man was injured during the exam and suffered some sequelae. Diplomatic dispute?
Those who have the guts to start a war in Wushen Mountain.
The Tang Dynasty killed three third-grade officials in a surprise attack last time, but they did not dare to start the war lightly and swallowed a bad breath.
Wu Shen Shan only lost a young master, so he must be able to endure it.
The causes and consequences are clearly laid out.
Everyone is smart and will not do stupid things without thinking. There are also high-ranking officials in the court who support this matter. After all, when Zhu Fengdan killed three third-rank people in a row, many people were so angry that they gritted their teeth.
When the great witch Yunfang stopped Li Qi from coming to Tang, he was afraid that this would happen.
The rules of the Tang Dynasty were strict, and attacks from outside the rules were impossible, but criticism within the rules was inevitable.
Tai Xuecheng smiled and said: "These two arrangements, let alone the Sansheng Ancient Mirror at the back, just talk about the exam questions in the front, even if Liu Junyi comes in person, he may not be able to solve the questions..."
But Li Qi was completely unaware of all this.
He answered the questions honestly and took the exam honestly.
As for this topic...
It's quite interesting, not difficult, but not that easy either.
Most of the questions are based on the text, although some are truncated and reversed, which makes people a little confused, but these ancient books...
I’ve basically read them all.
In Guangyang, Li Qi couldn't even remember how many books he had read.
In order to complete a great sacrifice, he immersed himself in the collection of books in Wushen Mountain for more than half a year. All kinds of secret classics and various deep-hidden ancient books were all opened and studied by him and Rabbit, and they found out useful information. place.
A ninth-level body must do this if he wants to hold a grand ceremony, because he has no room for error, and if he makes the slightest mistake, he will die.
And the habit of reading is no longer a day or two.
Li Qi studied when he had nothing to do. Even on the way back to Wushen Mountain from Baiyue, he had to read carefully for six to seven hours every day.
When I was in Dalu Country, I could sometimes read for ten hours a day, reading while walking.
As a former researcher, Li Qi knew one thing.
knowledge is power.
Moreover, he also has true knowledge. Reading is directly fed into his brain, and he has photographic memory and retrieval.
Under this habit, this kind of simple memorization question was not difficult for him. He didn't think there was any problem, so he just answered the question and handed it in.
He thought there was no problem, but the two people who were answering the questions realized that there was a big problem.
"Li Cheng?! Is this your problem!?" The mysterious man became anxious.
However, within two quarters of an hour after entering the examination room, Li Qi had already finished answering the questions and left.
Thousands of candidates are the first to leave the examination room!
That's the ultimate problem!
"Don't worry, he might not be able to answer the question and will have to give up. I'll go take a look at his test paper." Tai Xuecheng was surprised and couldn't believe Li Qi's speed in handing in the paper. He could only guess that he didn't know how to do it at all. So I wrote it randomly and handed it in.
So he quickly went down and looked at Li Qi's test paper.
However, I can see that the meaning of the scriptures is the outline, the sentences are the purpose, the outline is lifted up, and the meaning of the text is self-evident. It refers to the ancient and modern doctrines. Although it is recorded in only a few words, the main purpose is not contrary to the sages. It is clear that it is pure and solid. Skill.
Looking further down, regarding the actual skills, there are hundreds of opinions on it, including turtle strategy and historical images, subtle prescription techniques, Yuanmao Shu, history books, insects and seal scripts, and even Cong Yin's vocal music, sonorous bells and rhythms, farming and fortifications. , medicine, water conservancy, and all kinds of industries are involved.
Geography, mountain scriptures, xuanwen exegesis, extensive collection of books, and all the words of nine schools of thought have been studied.
Gafu's richness in classics, expertise in techniques, and profound wisdom are indescribable. He is also versatile in many skills. It can be said that he can answer all questions and practice all arts!
Tai Xuecheng was dumbfounded.
How is it possible, how can there be such a versatile person in the world? !
In fact, it is indeed impossible.
Li Qi is just a talkative guy. He talks about these things clearly, but in fact he has never seen what many of them actually look like.
For example, on the method of hammering and forging iron, he wrote: "Swing the hammer into the fire, and the mud will turn into a pile of mud and go away, using its spirit as a matchmaker. After cementing, it can never be broken without being cut with a burning red axe. Any wrought iron can never be broken. When water and fire are not combined, its quality is not strong. When it comes out of the fire, it is quenched by water and fire, and the iron becomes steel, which is called strong steel."
What he said seemed to make sense, but he had never seen anything called "taking its spirit as a matchmaker". He probably didn't even recognize the spirit of cast iron when it was placed in front of him.
But it doesn't matter.
This is a written test, with answers on paper. Why not talk on paper?
Knowing more is not a bad thing. Li Qi doesn't show off all day long, he just loves reading.
His dream, his goal, is to browse the endless heavens and see what this wonderful world looks like.
Seeing it with your own eyes is too costly and risky, so it’s better to wait until your cultivation level is higher to see it in the future.
It’s good to read a book at this time.
But Tai Xuecheng didn’t know.
He looked at Li Qi's back in panic.
"Don't be anxious... don't be anxious. The Three Lives Ancient Mirror cannot be compensated by knowledge. No matter how much you know, it is useless..." He comforted himself.
But looking at the test paper in his hand, he felt a little trembling in his heart.
Is Wushen Mountain really so powerful?
At this moment, Li Qi didn't care about these things, because he was the first to walk out of the examination room and was being interviewed by reporters.
It is a common practice. The first person to leave the examination room will be watched by everyone, and many people will come to interview to see if the questions are difficult.
This question is pure nonsense, but everyone loves to hear it.
With a crowd of people watching, Li Qize took over the audio tube and said, "Ahem, the questions in this exam are still very simple. I hope everyone can relax, deal with it calmly, be confident, and strive to pass the exam." Satisfactory results.”
The media next to them looked bored.
They wish they would be a crazy student who would scream and criticize the examiner, or reveal some questions, preferably someone who could express some grievances and make some big news.
It's a pity not that this kid is more proficient in official accent than them.
After Li Qi finished speaking, he was let go by the disappointed media.
He didn't bother to pay attention to these people. He took his terminal back in front of the examination room and rushed to the next examination room.
The next examination room...ah? In a Buddhist temple?
