Chen Shi was shocked and stood up immediately.
"Didn't you see?"
He loudly asked Bi'an and the responsible person, "We are cheating! He is writing an explanation for me!" Bi'an and the responsible person walked up and down in the hall.
An examiner shouted: "No noise! Sit down!"
Before Chen Shi could speak, Zhang You smiled and said: "Chen Jieyuan, sit down. This hall is used for cheating. Even if you write A blank scroll, writing some words of rebellion, but what you handed in was still a smooth and gorgeous article, and you are still on the list."
Chen Shi widened his eyes and said in disbelief: "Is this hall used for fraud?"
Zhang You smiled and said: "We, the descendants of the Thirteenth Family, all take exams in this hall. This has always been the case. This literary test is just a show for outsiders. There should be thirteen people here, but this year there are two more, totaling fifteen people. But I didn't expect that the other twelve brothers disappeared, neither alive nor dead, so only three of us are left."
He glanced at the young master. The twelve missing people were originally the young master's allies.
The reason why he did not die was because he was not an ally of the young master. He was not there when Chen Shi killed him at Qixia Temple
The young master sat there, looking at the clerk who wrote for him, and said, "Does Chen Jieyuan feel it is unfair? Don't forget, you have also enjoyed the injustice. You are also one of us."
Chen Shi sat down, silent for a moment, feeling a little sad, and said: "My father was outside just now and told me how fair and serious this exam is. He said that these two mythical beasts will know everything clearly, and any cheating methods, even using ghosts and gods, will not escape their eyes and ears. But he didn't expect that when you enter this hall, even the sly and negative members will help you cheat. He always thought that the literary test of the general examination was fair. "
"No whispering." The examiner said expressionlessly.
Zhang You ignored the examiner and said with a smile: "This is why your father's articles were so famous in Xijing back then and why Xijing paper was so expensive. His articles were written from his feelings and had meaningful words. Unlike our articles, they were just eight-legged essays written by these small officials."
Chen Shi sighed and whispered: "How can a poor person compete with a wealthy family? My father, for example, has been deceived his entire life." In the martial arts test, they may not be as good as the children of the aristocratic family, but in the literary test, their confidence is not weaker than others.
They studied hard while living in poverty, thinking that after learning the knowledge of saints, they would be able to practice it effectively, cultivate themselves, manage their families, govern their country, and bring peace to the world. It’s so bookish!
The young master turned around and said, "So it is necessary for the true king to take charge of the court again to bring order to the chaos. Brother Chen Jieyuan, brother Zhang You, you should help me!" Chen Shi said indifferently: "Have you washed your neck?"
The young master sighed with some resentment: "You still have such a deep prejudice against me."
Chen Shi looked at his test paper. The clerk turned a deaf ear to their words and was still writing fast, with four-legged and six-parallel lines, extremely gorgeous, but his words were meaningless and very empty.
"And his understanding of the meaning of the scripture is also wrong. Thunder is in the sky, and it is very strong. A gentleman should not do anything impolite. He thought this sentence means that thunder is in the sky, and a gentleman should not do anything impolite. This is a great fallacy.
Chen Shi sneered and thought to himself, "This sentence clearly means that when you encounter someone who doesn't know etiquette, you should first lay down thunder in the sky to prevent him from leaving his soul and soul. Then he can summon up his energy and blood to strengthen his body, knock down the opponent with courage, and trample those who are disrespectful under his feet! This is clearly a saint teaching us how to fight and how to defeat our opponents."
He sighed secretly and whispered: "They just don't want me to be the number one scholar in high school and deprive me of the opportunity to show my talent."
He was waning. The Thirteenth Family controlled the government and misinterpreted the knowledge of saints. No matter how good he was in writing, what could he do? The top three in the literary test are determined to be in this hall, but I am by no means the first.
The three clerks quickly wrote their test papers and placed them in front of them. They held them down with paperweights for an hour. After the examiner collected the papers, they were allowed to leave the examination room.
Chen Shi walked out of the Ceremony Department and felt the glare of the sun outside.
Chen Tang stepped forward, a little anxious, but still calm, not impatient, and said slowly: "How do you feel?" Chen Shi's face remained as usual and said: "Not bad, it is a topic that Zhu Xiucai talked about."
Chen Tang obviously relaxed and said with a smile: "Zhu Xiucai said, there must be no problem. He is extremely talented. When he taught me, I thought he was just an ordinary ghost scholar. Unexpectedly, from the county examination to the provincial examination to the palace examination, I passed all the tests and had few opponents."
The father and son were walking and talking, and Chen Shi said: "Zhu Xiucai was so knowledgeable. He taught you, his fifth uncle, and me. Maybe grandpa learned from him. Why did he hang himself outside Huangpo Village?"
Chen Tang was slightly startled. He had thought about this question, but had no answer.
Zhu Xiucai was highly talented, powerful, and possessed all kinds of profound and unpredictable skills. It stands to reason that such a peerless master would never hang himself to death. But he hanged himself.
When he was hanged, he was just a scholar, not the number one scholar or something. What made him despair and would rather die?
"I don't know." Chen Tangdao
Chen Shidao: "I didn't know the answer before, but today I took the big test and I finally know it." Chen Tang looked at his profile and felt that his son had become much more mature.
In the afternoon, there was a martial arts test at the Shenji Camp outside Xijing City.
Shenjiying martial arts field is a shooting range, a place used for shooting guns and artillery. This time it was a magic test, and the test was about magic.
The target is set up on the mountain east of Xijing. It is divided into ten-mile target, twenty-mile target, forty-mile target, sixty-mile target, eighty-mile target and hundred-mile target.
There are twelve targets in each place. Each target has a number written on it, and there are soldiers waiting next to it with flags. If the target is hit, a yellow flag will be raised, if the target is missed, a white flag will be raised.
The goal of the assessment is very simple, that is, stand on the altar of the martial arts arena and hit each of the six targets within the time of burning incense. There is no limit to the number of times. Any spell can be used
Chen Shi came to the examination room. Looking from a distance, the targets ten miles away were as big as the tip of a needle and were invisible to the naked eye of ordinary people. Only by using talismans such as the Sky Eye Talisman and the Divine Eye Talisman can one see clearly.
A target twenty miles away can only be seen clearly by using the Nascent Soul.
If you want to see clearly a target hundreds of miles away, I am afraid that only the soul can see it clearly. And the magic limit of monks in the realm of gods is exactly a hundred miles away.
But this time the magic test not only needs to look at the distance, but also the head. It is basically difficult to control the head when a spell is emitted, which can reach hundreds of miles away. Therefore, it is not a small challenge even for Juren in the realm of gods.
If you have not cultivated Nascent Soul, you will not even be able to hit a target ten miles away.
The literary test is extremely strict, but the martial arts test is extremely lax. There are a sea of people outside the venue, all of whom are people from Xijing, coming here to watch the excitement.
In front of Chen Shi, there were many adjutants taking the test. Twelve adjutants stood on different altars, and the altars were marked with numbers. The people hold their breath and concentrate, offer sacrifices to the Nascent Soul or Golden Pill, and activate the magic.
Their spells are also different, including wind, fire, water, thunder, knives, spears, swords, halberds, and even sideline spells such as ghost control and transportation.
There are also some talisman masters who draw talismans in the air, showing extremely high attainments in talisman and casting spells with talismans, which is very amazing.
However, among the twelve lifters, only five hit the first target, and only two hit the second target. No one can hit the third target. As for the fourth, fifth, and sixth targets, no one can even think about it.
After this group of celebrants, twelve more celebrants came to the altar. The chief examiner lit a stick of incense and allowed the twelve celebrants to do whatever they wanted.
One of the twelve people practiced the flying head technique. Suddenly his head flew out from his neck, carrying his throat bone and heart and liver, and flew into the air. It was really eye-catching. Chen Shi came closer, raised his toes and looked into the man's headless body. He saw that after the man's head and heart flew out, there was no blood flowing out of the body, and other organs were still active.
“Don’t fly too far, be careful of other people’s spells hurting you!” an examiner also reminded him with a kind heart. The man's head flew halfway, and suddenly his heart dropped, but he was hit by someone's spell.
As soon as the heart and liver fell, the head also fell off. The headless body of the man stood up in a hurry and ran towards the place where his head and heart and liver fell. He ran dozens of feet away. Suddenly, blood gushed out from his neck like a spring, and he fell to the ground with a gasp.
The people watching outside the field were horrified, and the discussion became much louder. Then some soldiers from the Shenji Battalion raised a sign of silence. The next batch of candidates who took the exam were much more stable. It was Chen Shi who brought that batch of candidates.
Soon, all twelve people hit the ten-mile target, attracting the examiner's attention.
Then, these twelve people hit the second target, causing an uproar. Many examiners hurriedly checked the origins of these twelve people, only to find that they were not descendants of aristocratic families.
The third target, two people missed it and failed to hit it. Three more people missed the fourth target.
Many examiners were stunned, and people outside the venue were whispering and discussing. Logically speaking, Juren who came from a poor family and passed the national college entrance examination are the foils for the children of aristocratic families. Those with excellent qualifications can only hit the first target and the second target. Don’t even think about hitting the third target!
But this time, among the twelve people, most of the third target hit the target!
At this time, there was an uproar from the crowd. Four people hit the fifth target! "These four people have reached the Nascent Soul Realm!"
Many examiners looked at these candidates in astonishment.
The skills practiced by these twelve people are absolutely no worse than those practiced by the children of the aristocratic family, and can even be compared with the skills practiced by the core children of the aristocratic family! The remaining four Juren each activated their spells, and spells streaked across the air, leaving streaks of light and rushing towards the target a hundred miles away!
After a while, the soldier standing by the target raised a white flag, and all four spells failed to hit the target.
The four judges were dejected, but the examiners were extremely surprised. Although their spells did not hit the target, they were not far from the target of a hundred miles! This shows that although these four Juren are at the Nascent Soul Realm, their strength is extremely close to the Divine Transformation Realm!
The skills they practice must be extraordinary!
Twelve people came down from the stage, passed by Chen Shi, and paid homage to Chen Shi. "Coach!" "Coach!" "Coach must win the top prize!"
Chen Shi nodded one by one, wondering: "Why do they call me instructor? Have they also joined the Heavenly Court? No, they should have joined the Hongshan Hall Talisman Masters Association. I am temporarily serving as the instructor in the Hongshan Hall Talisman Masters Association, and I receive fifty taels of silver per month."
At this time, twelve more people came on stage.
There was an uproar again. Ten miles of targets, not a single one missed! Twenty miles of targets, not a single one missed!
Not a single target within thirty miles was missed!
This time, the results of the twelve national athletes were even better than those of the previous group. There were actually five people who hit the fifth target!
It’s just that the sixth target is the magic boundary of the Divine Realm. Even if they are extremely good, they can’t let their spells penetrate hundreds of miles! The Twelve Juren walked down the altar and passed by Chen Shi, paying homage to him one after another.
"Coach!" "Coach!" "Coach scored three yuan in a row!" Chen Shi watched them leave.
Juren who came on stage next brought shock after wave. Although he was in the Nascent Soul Realm, his strength was so strong that he could catch up with the masters of the Transformation God Realm!
And these people often come from the countryside, have no background, and have a poor family background. Their parents work in farming or do some small business in the countryside, and they themselves are engaged in lowly professions such as talisman masters or alchemy carpenters.
They even compared themselves with many children from small aristocratic families!
What shocked the examiners even more was that there were so many such candidates!
In the past, the appearance of one or two rural candidates was already a big deal. In the future, such candidates will be reused and placed in important positions. But now there are actually dozens of people, and the number is still increasing rapidly!
When these ministers come down from the altar, they always pass by Chen Shi and say "Master!" "They are the people brought to Xijing by Chen Shi!" someone exclaimed in shock.
Chen Shi was quite moved. This scene was even happier than when he passed the Huiyuan exam or even passed the top three!
These candidates who accompanied him to Xijing did not bury their talents in this big exam and lived up to the expectations of their fathers. This exam will definitely leave a glorious page because of the brilliance of these poor children!
He smiled. What does it mean for a person to be the top scholar?
It would be interesting to take two to three hundred candidates together to pass the Jinshi examination and squeeze out many children from aristocratic families! At this time, he noticed a pair of eyes falling on his back. Chen Shi looked back and met the young master's gaze. These eyes were cold and full of chill. They no longer had any intention of wooing him, but were full of defense and fear.
Chen Shi smiled slightly and ignored him.
At this time, there was a roar all around, and many candidates and examiners, as well as people outside the venue, stood up one after another.
Some people activate magic like the Eye of the Sky, some use a bright mirror, and some simply grow a third eye on their forehead, or grow eyes on both hands, and look towards the hillside a hundred miles away to check carefully.
“Someone missed the mark!” “It’s not from a noble family!”
“It’s a girl, she’s very beautiful!” people exclaimed.
Chen Shi looked over and saw Hu Feifei on the altar with a heroic figure and a proud face. "Sister Feifei sneaked in?"
Chen Shi was stunned and thought to himself, "Uncle Hu really knows the senior officials in Xijing and stuffed her in?" Finally, it was Chen Shi's turn to raise people, including Young Master and Zhang You.
Chen Shi stood on the second altar and looked at the target a hundred miles away. He activated the Sky Eye spell and the target a hundred miles away was clear and distinct. Young Master is at the altar on the 1st, and Zhang You is at the altar on the 3rd.
Suddenly, the young master raised his hand, and the fire filled the sky and swept away. Targets No. 1 and 2 were all burned along the way, and it swept past like a torrent, all the way to the sixth target a hundred miles away!
On the hillside, twelve yellow flags were raised.
The young master walked down the altar and said calmly: "Chen Shi, I will help you hit the target, so you don't have to work anymore."
The young master looked at his back, and the young master felt the murderous intent in his eyes. It was so strong that he couldn't help but be highly nervous and his back tensed. Cold sweat broke out on the young master's forehead, and his walking was no longer natural, his steps became strange and twisted.
Chen Shi turned around and stepped off the stage. On the hillside, yellow flags were raised high. ——Please vote for me at the end of the month!
