Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 154
"Guan Gong Yuan."

With a loud shout, the gate of the Gongyuan was slammed shut.

The test has started.

Until the end, all the students will not step out of the Gongyuan.

The test on the first day was posting scriptures.

It sounds a bit complicated, but it is actually very simple. It is to select a sentence from the Four Books and Five Classics, and then leave a blank space for the candidates to continue writing.

To put it bluntly, it is to fill in the blanks.

The test is the candidates' memory of the Four Books and Five Classics.

In addition, there is also the question of asking candidates to silently write a passage in the Four Books and Five Classics, where it starts and where it ends.

This level is very important. If you make a wrong question, you may miss the chance to be a scholar.

After all, there are so many examinees, and each admission is limited, and you haven't even read the Four Books and Five Classics, how could it be possible for you to pass the college examination and be admitted as a scholar?As for the essays and politicians that will be tested later, it all depends on the mood and preferences of the examiners. There are certain loopholes that can be exploited.

Li Xiuyuan has a very good memory, so the previous exams will not trouble him. Although he has spent a lot of time practicing martial arts these years, he is still familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics.

It can't be regarded as fluent in reverse, but it can still be done by reciting normally.

Immediately, I rubbed the pen and dyed the ink, and wrote it on the draft next to me, and only copied it into the examination paper after confirming that it was correct.

However, various situations are happening in the Gongyuan at this moment.

A candidate with white temples, squatting in his examination room at this time, looking at the rotten stool, frowned, sighed, instead of taking the test with a pen, he repaired the seat first, After all, how do you answer the paper test without a seat?

There are also candidates who dare not enter the examination room for a long time, and call the guards, saying that there are poisonous snakes infested there, and begging the guards to remove the snakes.

The guards are also timid and afraid of getting into trouble, so they just perfunctory and don't care about it anymore.

In the end, the examinee dared not enter the examination room because he was afraid of snakes, so he had to wander around outside the examination room in a hurry.

Exams are long and protracted.

The other examinees stop and write, then close their eyes and think for a while. Finally, they draft, answer, and copy. The speed is not fast at all. Do not rest up.

At this time, Li Xiuyuan's foundation in martial arts can be seen.

He was full of energy, different from ordinary people, writing and writing quickly, without stopping for a moment, and only at dusk, the first answer sheet had been written.

After seeing that the sky was getting dark, he took out the candles and lit them one by one.

Counting carefully, nine candles were lit in the small examination room, brightly shining the lights inside.

"Damn rich."

Some scholars saw Li Xiuyuan's exam room with candles flickering, and then saw the small candle light flickering on a thin candle next to his desk, and couldn't help feeling depressed.

Although the examinees have prepared candles, they cost money after all, especially during the examination period in this hospital, the price of candles has skyrocketed, and it is not cheap. The average scholar is also reluctant to buy candles like this, after all, it will cost a night. There are not a few candles burning, and some need to be saved.

Inside the Town God's Temple at this moment.

The City God of Guo Beicheng stood in front of the main hall with his hands behind his back, looking in the direction of the Gongyuan, frowning slightly.

"My lord, why are you so preoccupied these past few days? Could it be that there is something difficult?" asked a confidant Yin soldier.

Chenghuang said; "I'm worried about this Li Xiuyuan."

"Isn't he taking the exam for a scholar? What are you worried about him doing? Could it be that Li Xiuyuan failed the exam?" Yin Bing asked.

"I don't know if Li Xiuyuan failed the exam, but with his ability, it shouldn't be difficult to be a mere scholar. What I am worried about is whether Li Xiuyuan's affairs will be implicated in Chu Shilang's affairs. If so, don't bother." Pull me into the water." Chenghuang said with a sigh.

After finishing speaking, he asked again; "Is it still raining in the fishing town on the other side of the Wujiang River?"

"My lord is here, and it's getting bigger and bigger, and it hasn't stopped, and the affected area is getting bigger and bigger." Yin Bing said.

The City God frowned and said, "This is the Dragon King of Wujiang who is angry. He wants to spread the clouds and rain to find his offspring who should be robbed. Looking at the trend, I'm afraid that if he doesn't find that little black dragon, the Dragon King of Wujiang will not let it go." .”

"That place is the territory of the Dragon King of Wujiang River, and it is not under the control of your lord, why should you worry about it." Yin Bing said with a flattering smile.

"makes sense."

Chenghuang nodded, and immediately remembered something, suddenly took out the life and death book in his sleeve, and flipped through it.

He found that the fate of Chu Tian, ​​the second son of the Chu family, had changed. Originally, he would be pierced by a sharp arrow and died of a poisonous snake, but now he passed this test smoothly.

"Well, that's right. It looks like Chu Shilang's calculation succeeded, why is Chu Tian still dead?" Chenghuang suddenly became suspicious.

Then he flipped through the book of life and death a few more times, and suddenly exclaimed, the book of life and death, which was regarded as a treasure in his hand, couldn't hold it for a while, and fell to the ground with a slap.

The surrounding lights shone over, but Cheng Huang's face was pale and he was sweating profusely.

"Ah, Minister Chu, you have hurt me so badly." Chenghuang couldn't help roaring up to the sky, not knowing whether it was anger or fear.

"Boom~!"

All of a sudden, a thunderbolt fell from the sky, and it hit the book of life and death on the ground without any mistakes.

The opened book of life and death was closed instantly, and the lightning flashed on it, and ghosts and gods could no longer approach it.

The City God was also injured by lightning, and with a scream, he fell and flew out, turning into a stream of incense and smashing into the statue.

Only a few clicks were heard, and the sound of clicking sounded, cracks appeared on the statue of the city god, which was full of incense, and the cracks formed a trace, which crossed the neck of the statue of the city god, as if to chop off his head.

This scene happened extremely quickly, and the Yin soldiers next to them looked at each other in blank dismay, not understanding why such a scene happened so perfectly.

Why was my city god struck by lightning?

You must know that the City God is an upright god who has been sealed by imperial edicts. Although he does not know the Thunder God in the sky, it is absolutely impossible for him to be struck by lightning.

"My lord. My lord." The Yin soldier called out to the statue of the city god a few times.

However, the strange thing is that the statue of the City God closed its eyes, as if it had fallen into a deep sleep, and did not respond to how it shouted.

Seeing this situation, the Yin Bingmen also panicked. Although they didn't know what was going on, this scene happened so well that even a fool knew it was a bad thing.

But right now the City God is drowsy, even if the Yin soldiers are panicked, they don't know why.

However, in another place in Guo Beicheng.

Within the Chu Mansion.

"Master, the Second Young Master is awake." A servant hurriedly reported.

Master Chu, who was kneeling in the ancestral hall, stood up in surprise: "My son is awake? Really?"

"Yes master, the second young master has woken up, the doctor has also checked, the second young master has recovered, and his body is safe." The servant said.

"Okay, okay." Master Chu was ecstatic, and hurried out of the ancestral hall.

When he came to the ward, he first saw a black fish that had been disemboweled and blood drawn being carried out by the servants.

Although Heiyu ended up miserable, but he was not dead yet. At this moment, he blinked his eyes and shed a few tears. The fish opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything, and when he closed his eyes, he finally swallowed it. Take your last breath.

After it died, a fishy smell emanated from it.

At the same time, an invisible black air emerged from between the scales of the black fish. After the black air emitted, it condensed and charged into the sky. Suddenly, a dense black cloud gradually brewed over Guo Beicheng, and As time passed, the black cloud became bigger and bigger, showing a tendency to spread.

But all these things have nothing to do with the current Li Xiuyuan.

Now Li Xiuyuan is taking the exam by candlelight in the exam room.

"Well, after finishing this point, you can take a break." Seeing that the second exam paper was almost finished, he planned to stop and rest.

The other candidates hadn't finished the first test paper at this time, but he had already finished the second test paper. This speed is estimated to be the fastest among the same batch of candidates.

"Hoohoo~!"

However, at this moment, the candlelight in the examination room was suddenly blown by a gust of breeze, and the candlelight flickered.

"Ok?"

Li Xiuyuan frowned, and asked about the special smell in the wind just now.

It smells like fish, but it's not like it.

"Is it going to rain?" Li Xiuyuan looked up at the sky.

But I saw that the sky where the moon was hanging high was shrouded by a dark cloud.

　Happy holidays, fellow book lovers, some people say that I don’t add more for the Dragon Boat Festival?

　　It does not exist, I will stay up late and write another chapter later.
