Chapter 350 Today, this teacher will give you a chance
"Discuss the status of the epic poem 'Chronicles of Yunmeng' in the Confucian and Taoist traditions of Qingtianzhou, as well as the unique characteristics of its construction."

Zhang Yuan looked at the questions on the test paper in front of him. He had never read the "Yunmeng Chronicles" and naturally had no way of explaining or interpreting them.

Fortunately, Chaos has quietly analyzed the problem and given the answer.

The ink pen moved lightly, and the handwriting on Zhang Yuan's test paper appeared.

"The Yunmeng Chronicles is the pinnacle of Qingtianzhou's Confucian and Taoist fantasy. The fantasy realm is vast and boundless, with magnificent mountains and rivers, surging clouds, exotic beasts soaring, and immortals and mortals intertwined. The world it constructs is magnificent and extraordinary, and it is fascinating."

After answering one question, move on to the next one.

"Give examples that reflect the 'vague and distant' style of Yun Yinzi's poetry."

Zhang Yuan looked up and saw that everyone else was writing furiously on this question. It seemed that this Yun Yinzi was really a celebrity in Qingtianzhou.

Unfortunately, he did not know and had never read his poems.

Pick up the ink pen and copy the answer given by Chaos.

"Yun Yinzi's poems are as ethereal as clouds, as distant as dreams. The moonlight shines on the waterside, and the breeze blows the willows, like a dream of smoke."

It's really refreshing to answer questions without having to think.

When he answered question 18, "On the differences between "Bi Luo Fu Ji" and "Yunmeng Chronicles" and the connection behind them," he heard wailing from not far away.

"Damn it! They even have such an off-the-beaten-path topic as 'Bi Luo Fu Ji'. How am I supposed to write this?"

"Yes, fifty questions. These questions are extremely difficult. I think you can hardly answer even thirty of them."

"Hmph, if you make any more noise, you will be expelled from the examination room and you will never have the chance to enter Changning Academy again." A low shout came from the front, and the green-robed scholar who had spoken before raised his hand and waved the ruler in his hand.

"Om-"

The faint and majestic power on the ruler turned into golden light, attracting the power of the surrounding heaven and earth for a hundred feet to gather and cover the entire examination room.

In an instant, the distance between all the candidates was blocked by golden light, the light and shadow were distorted, and the sound was also isolated, leaving only vague sounds.

A gleam of light flashed in Zhang Yuan's eyes.

This is the Confucian and Taoist method on Qingtian Continent.

This is just a teacher in Changning Academy, yet he can gather the power of heaven and earth for hundreds of feet with a wave of his hand.

This kind of power can at least rival a warrior in the middle stage of the Innate Realm.

No wonder Confucianism and Taoism have a place in Qingtianzhou.

Zhang Yuan raised his head, a trace of spiritual power infused into his eyes, and he could see through the light curtain blocking him, and a voice came to his ears.

"Fuck, this Li Wenyan is such a jerk. He actually used his magical powers to isolate me and Brother Zhuo Bie from passing on any information."

"Ah, the magical powers of Confucianism and Taoism, when will I be able to master such magical powers..."

In addition to the whispers of the candidates, the voices of the two invigilators in front could also be heard.

"Okay, they can't hear me anymore. Brother Ziwen, your ritual and music skills are becoming more refined."

The person who was speaking was a scholar about forty years old sitting at a long desk, wearing a green robe and a gauze hat.

He was Wang Zhixue, the teacher of Changning Academy, whose courtesy name was Zhiyuan, and who was cursed by some examinees as "Wang Baldy".

The one he called Brother Ziwen was the instructor Li Wenyan, whose courtesy name was Ziwen, who had just displayed his magical powers.

Hearing Wang Zhixue's words, Li Wenyan waved his hands, a hint of pride on his face: "It can't compare to Brother Zhiyuan's teaching light. Everyone in the academy knows that Brother Zhiyuan is the best at teaching."

"My method is just a small trick."

The two of them praised each other for a few words, and Wang Zhixue smiled as he looked at the group of candidates in front of him who were writing furiously.

"Brother Ziwen, you said that they need to complete fifty questions before they can join the club. Isn't that too harsh?"

"In my opinion, the fact that they were able to complete thirty questions shows that they are quite knowledgeable and have great potential."

Hearing Wang Zhixue's words, Li Wenyan laughed.

"If he can truly complete the thirty questions, he will be more than just a learned man. He will be a true genius."

"You don't know, these questions were set by the president himself. The president once said that those who can answer 18 questions are elites of the club, and those who can answer 12 questions are eligible to join the club."

These words made Zhang Yuan slightly stunned, and he looked at the answer sheet in front of him.

Before he knew it, he had answered thirty-eight questions.

Isn't this a bit too ostentatious?
"Twelve questions will get you into school?" Wang Zhixue nodded. "That's pretty good. They studied very hard, and if they could get into the school—"

Before he could finish his words, Li Wenyan lowered his voice and said, "The president has instructed that anyone who can answer one or two questions in this exam will be admitted." "Recently, the immortals and demons have been making unusual moves, invading step by step and infiltrating a great deal. Our four major academies of Confucianism and Taoism must expand, otherwise they will be eroded."

Zhang Yuan looked at the test paper in front of him.

Expansion of enrollment?
It seems that all the time I wrote these questions was in vain?

"Well, it seems like our presence here as invigilator is just a formality." Wang Zhixue smiled wryly and sighed softly, "But it would be great if a candidate could actually answer more than 30 questions."

"Every one of these elite individuals has a promising future."

Li Wenyan also nodded slightly with emotion.

"Don't worry, the Changning Prefecture Academy has a monitoring array. Seventeenth Academy has set up fifty scattered examination rooms. If anyone answers more than thirty questions by the time the exam is completed, their identity and position will be directly monitored."

Zhang Yuan didn't expect that the Changning Prefecture Academy had such means.

Isn't this equivalent to having all the top students in hand in advance?
His eyes fell on the test paper in front of him.

I have already answered forty questions.

In other words, when I hand in my paper later, I might be noticed by Changning Prefecture Academy and specially recruited into the academy?
When Zhang Yuan left the Northern Great Wall and went to Qingtianzhou through a special passage, he found out that the four major academies recruited disciples in an equal manner and required all of them to undergo examinations.

He thought that he could enroll directly as a war marquis, but he didn't expect that he still had to go through multiple levels of assessment.

However, if I answer all the questions at this time, will it directly attract the attention of the four major academies, and then -

"call out--"

"call out--"

Two palm-sized blue paper cranes flew in from outside the academy and were caught by Li Wenyan.

With the paper crane in hand, Li Wenyan's fingertips were filled with a faint golden light.

"A student at the Yunchen Academy exam room answered over 50 questions, and a student at the Zhuofeng Academy exam room answered over 50 questions."

A voice came from the paper crane.

"All other examination halls are to cancel their exams immediately. All students are to be sent to Yunhe County to escort two elite students into Yunhe Academy."

"Mission accomplished, all students have obtained admission to the academy."

Behind Li Wenyan, Wang Zhixue slowly stood up with an extremely solemn expression on his face.

"Whenever elite figures appear under the jurisdiction of our four academies, they will be immediately intercepted and killed by the immortals, demons, monsters, and Buddhas. Only by allowing them to go to the county government and have the protection of great scholars can they be safe."

He looked at the candidates who were still writing furiously, and his expression changed slightly.

"Asking them to escort the elites into the county government will inevitably lead to casualties along the way. This is unfair to them..."

Li Wenyan held the paper crane and shook his head: "Where in the world is there any fairness?"

"I've heard that the Qin Empire boasts both civil and military power, and its people live in peace and contentment. However, there's no telling when the imperial army will conquer the north. What can the hundreds of millions of people in Qingtian Continent do?"

He waved his hand, and the golden light in the examination room dissipated.

All candidates raised their heads.

"Judging from your knowledge, you can't answer fifty questions at all. You have no chance of joining the club."

"Today, this teacher will give you an opportunity."

After straightening his clothes, Li Wenyan said in a clear voice: "Follow me to Yunhe County. As long as you arrive safely, you can directly enter the school."

"But I've already said that this journey is dangerous. Those who wish to go may step out."

Li Wenyan had just finished speaking when seven or eight candidates tore up the test papers in front of them and stepped out from the long desk.

"Teacher Li, in a word, no matter how hard it is, I will never frown."

"Teacher, let's go, let's go now."

Wang Zhixue on the side was about to speak, but saw that the students taking the exam had already gathered around Li Wenyan.

wrong.

There is still one person sitting there!
Wang Zhixue looked at Zhang Yuan who was writing furiously.

Zhang Yuan finished answering the 50th question, then put down his ink pen and walked to the middle of the courtyard.
