I slay demons and demons with poetry

Chapter 228 Discussion
As the bell rang dissipated, a loud voice was heard from a tall building.

"Lock the courtyard door and welcome Wen Xing!"

Having said that, there was a bit of restlessness in the examination room, each scholar raised his head and looked at the tall pyramid altar in front of him.

A few figures appeared on the road north from the examination institute, and the one walking in the front was the sacrificial officer who had just recited the document. Those people had sharp expressions and steady steps.

They stepped onto the stage slowly, and then stood in layers on the three-story pyramid.

The sacrificial officer at the lowest level took out the statues of Kong Sheng and Zhang Sheng and stood them on the four corners of the altar.

The four sacrificial officials on the second floor took out copper boxes from their pockets and placed them on the table above the four corners.

The old man went all the way up, steadily arrived at the top of the altar, and then waved his hand in front of everyone.

A metal copper ball appeared at the highest point of the altar, and it was strangely suspended at this moment.

Seeing this situation, Song Mu's expression was suddenly solemn.

Song Mu also knows a little about the situation of the rural examination. Unlike the college examination examination room, the examination room here will be blessed by five literary stars.

The four literary stars are no different from the literary stars in the courtyard examination, but the one on the top of the altar is rumored to be a national treasure. When the core fragments of the sky star were broken into many pieces, the talented person refined the literary star and divided it into many pieces. There is an average literary star, and each province and road has one, which is used for the national imperial examination.

And after that, the general examination in Chang'an will be a [-]-star resonance, and when it comes to the palace examination, it will be in the imperial city, facing the bright star falling into the ink.

Everyone is looking up at this moment, and their heartbeats can't stop speeding up.

And as the huge copper ball was in place, I suddenly saw the robes of the old man on the top shake, and then all the sacrificial officials' robes began to agitate. and go.

The next moment, these copper balls and copper boxes slowly unfolded as if they had life, and on the sacrificial altar, various lights began to light up slowly.

Those four literary stars are still shining with azure light, but the literary star on the top is shining with fiery red light.

Just like the scarlet sunset glow in the sky, rays of light burst out in an instant, washing away the hearts of all scholars.

The light even went beyond the examination hall and rippled directly to the people watching the ceremony on the street outside, all of them looked excited at the moment.

"The literary star has been revealed, God bless the great writer! The literary way is prosperous!"

"Country Examination! The Exam is Open!"

The old man standing on the highest part of the altar said in a deep voice to the surrounding students, his voice was like a thunderbolt, resounding in everyone's ears.

Song Mu and the others bowed their heads deeply in the test room, and each of them spoke out at this moment.

"God bless Dawen, Wen Dao is prosperous!"

The bronze bell of the examination building rang again, and everyone took their seats. Teams of officials began to appear, passing through the examination circles, distributing paper, ink, pens and inkstones.

After that, all the test questions of the scriptures, poems, and policy theory of this test will be distributed.

Three folded white papers were handed to Song Mu's desk. The little official did not look sideways, and immediately went to the next exam room. Behind him, two people held a huge sign, which said the first day The scripture test questions, and began to read aloud.

"The test questions of the classics and meanings of this township examination..."

Numerous petty officials wandered quickly in the examination hall. They finished reading the questions three times in front of each examination circle, and then left quickly.

After that, everything is quiet. In this world, there are only the sound of exam papers being stretched and pens rustling.

Song Mu first carefully put away the answer sheet, then cleaned up the table, and then unfolded the question first.

Song Mu took a deep breath and carefully looked at the distribution of the question types just like the courtyard test.

The first thing to enter is the scripture and meaning questions. Among them, the meaning-explaining and expressing-meaning questions are fairly clear. When they finally got the interception questions, Song Mu frowned.

"Virtue nourishes the body and cultivates the body, then the Tao will be established, and the world will be peaceful."

An extremely confusing exam question appeared, but Song Muyang was required to write a big essay.

At this moment, the sun was shining fiercely, and the dazzling light reflected from the pure white paper into Song Mu's eyes, making Song Mu feel a little dazed.

As always, Song Mu didn't start writing immediately, or even grind the ink. He just thought about these questions carefully, and carefully deliberated the answers to each question in his mind.

This is a habit that Song Mu has gradually developed during his study in the government school. He has a little more confidence when he writes a good draft.

Of course, this also depends on Song Mu's extraordinary memory now, and the practice of reciting books has allowed Song Mu to use this method well.

Song Mu thought about it like this, and planned to finish answering only this scripture volume today.

At the same time, the North Building of the Examination Institute was already full of officials in official robes, and the teachers from various state capitals were sitting in it. Yes, the man also wearing official robes spoke.

Although the man didn't seem to be strong, but there was a lot of sternness in his brows, and even the feeling of calmness and prestige was no less than that of He Shilin.

The other trainers are all tied up at the moment, and they even look a little bit downcast, watching the two talk.

"Brother Guangyuan can come, but He is a little surprised. After all, I heard that joining the military is obsessed with official duties."

"Old man He is serious. Although Wang has an important position, but this time he is here to inspect the examination room for Lord Inspector, so naturally he must do his best."

"However, with Mr. He sitting here, I'm here today just to watch the excitement, and feel happy by the way."

Facing He Shilin's somewhat stern face, the short and stocky man was all smiles, and there was some wit in his words.

This stocky man is Wang Ye, the newly-appointed director of Jiangnan Xidao and the military officer.

Although it has only been more than a year since he took office, he has worked hard to rectify military discipline, and has cooperated with the governor to fight monsters several times, so it can be said that he has made some achievements.

Although he is an official, he is a ruthless character who does not use any means to achieve his goals, but is only willing to show power and refuse to show favor.

But in private, he has a bit of humility, which makes people very uncertain about his temperament.

Everyone was silent, but at that moment a small official bowed upstairs and spoke to He Shilin.

"My lord, all the examination affairs have been checked, please check."

He Shilin who heard this sentence immediately took the brochure handed over by the other party, and immediately flipped through it. At this moment, there were two more smiles on his face.

"Haha, Master Wang, there are 170 candidates for the provincial examination this year, which is the highest number in decades."

He Shilin said so, and immediately handed the booklet in his hand to the other party. Wang also took it and looked at it, smiling.

"This year, Mr. Inspector is a strong army, so a group of military talents from the Eastern Frontier Army also came to take the exam. But I think from this point, there have been a lot more students from various prefectures in recent years."

"It seems that my style of writing in Jiangnanxidao is indeed even worse. It may not take long to compare with that of Fujian."

He Shilin nodded in satisfaction at the moment, and Wang Ye spoke again with a smile.

"Speaking of this year, the talents in these exams are quite different. I heard that most of them are extremely talented. For example, Yi Xuesheng from Xunyang Mansion was quite talkative at the beginning, and his words were amazing."

"There are also outstanding students from various prefectures. This year, there may be a lot of visions and red glows."

He Shilin nodded happily when he heard these words.

"They naturally have a bit of literary talent, but whether they can write good articles depends on their performance."

Saying this, the king suddenly sighed, and then said to He Shilin in a playful manner.

"Speaking of which, apart from a few students from our provincial city of Yuzhang, the first person I got to know about this time was Song Mu from Jizhou Prefecture."

"Oh? Would you like to hear more about it?"

He Shilin was somewhat surprised when he heard Song Mu's name was spoken by Wang Ye.

And Wang Ye didn't feel embarrassed at the moment, and said.
