Many of the people present in the hall were enlightened monks with profound Buddhist teachings. When they heard Zhu Yunxi's words, there was no expression on their faces, but a trace of disdain flashed in their eyes, feeling that this was too simple.

However, there were still many people sweating on their foreheads. They moved their buttocks uneasily and looked around in panic. However, Zhu Yunxi had already considered this and directly asked the Jin Yiwei to invigilate the exam with a big knife.

One for each person, and whoever dares to look around will be chopped off!

After Zhu Yunxi announced the start of the exam, everyone wrote vigorously, but as he wrote, some people's writing speed slowed down for an instant, and after a while, some people stopped writing directly, frowning and thinking hard.

Zhang Sugao did not participate in this exam, but he sent Yu Lianzhou, a disciple of Wudang Mountain, to fight on his behalf.

Yu Lianzhou had borrowed Zhang Slutty's guidance and had already served as the Chief Seal Officer of the Daolu Department of the Imperial Court. Originally, he did not have to take this kind of exam. But he learned about the scope of the exam in advance from his master. When he thought of the few incompetent juniors at home,

I can only bite the bullet and join the battle myself.

Zhang Yuchu also successfully wrote three Taoist scriptures silently by looking inside his clothes from time to time.

Jin Yiwei, who was standing next to Zhang Yuchu, looked at Zhang Yuchu's small movements and pretended not to notice them.

After all, the superiors said that this man spent money, and nothing could be done to him.

Relatively speaking, monks do not have this kind of treatment. They can only write down the words from memory.

Many people leave a blank line when they encounter a sentence they have forgotten, and then write what they can remember first.

After three hours, Zhu Yunxi forcibly retracted the paper.

He was too lazy to do the marking work, so he directly recruited a group of students from Jinling Royal University and asked them to compare the papers with Buddhist scriptures and Taoist scriptures.

Mark out any mistakes you encounter, fill in the blanks with red, and then summarize the number of errors.

The grading work is much faster than asking them to write silently, and it can be completed in less than an hour.

Zhu Yunxi took the test paper handed over by the students and flipped through it. He found that in this random test, except for Wudang Mountain and Longhu Mountain, there were many errors and omissions in other sects, including Taoism and Buddhism.

Some of the lesser-known Buddhist temple abbots could not even memorize a complete sutra, and could only memorize a few familiar sutras.

For example, color is emptiness, emptiness is color, and all conditioned phenomena are like bubbles in a dream, like dew or lightning, so we should observe them in this way.

A monk of this level is obviously good enough to deal with the daily work of fooling people, but he will definitely be nervous when facing an examiner like Zhu Yunxi.

After this test, both the abbots of monasteries in the four famous Buddhist mountains and some small monasteries stopped.

Because even the abbot of Xiantong Temple got stuck several times and couldn't pronounce a few words correctly, so he felt that he must have written it wrong.

As for the abbots of other monasteries, they made even more mistakes. It was normal for them to miss one or two sentences, but they could not write entire paragraphs.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."

"Can I tell you what you want to order?"

"Are you also worthy of being an enlightened monk?"

"Buddha only left you a few scriptures in total, but you can't even memorize them verbatim. How dare you say that you are one of the Three Jewels of Buddhism—?"

When all the monks heard this, they all lowered their heads in shame.

"Your Highness, forgive me..."

After Zhu Yunxi finished scolding the monks, he turned his attention to the group of Taoist priests.

Because of Zhang's slovenliness, the Taoist sect has been very arrogant in the past two years and has always regarded himself as a sect member of the emperor's grandson.

They thought that the emperor's grandson must be close to their Taoist sect if he could recognize Zhang Sugao as his master. However, Zhu Yunxi shattered their illusions as soon as he opened his mouth.

"So are you bullshits..."

"It's so unsatisfactory. No wonder Emperor Yuan Dynasty forced Taoists to apologize to Buddhism and forced Taoist priests to shave their heads!"

"It's been a hundred years and you haven't made any progress at all."

"The Tao Te Ching only has 5,000 words in total, so how many mistakes did you make!"

When all the Taoist priests heard what Zhu Yunxi said, they were all ashamed.

lowered his head.

"Your Highness, please forgive me. I am unworthy of the Taoist Patriarch, and unworthy of the Three Pure Ones..."

After Zhu Yunxi finished scolding these Taoist scumbags, he turned his attention to Zhang Yuchu and Yu Lianzhou.

"Finally, there are two that I am satisfied with, and I think they are worthy of the status of Taoist masters."

"Celestial Master Zhang Yuchu of Longhu Mountain is worthy of his millennium-old heritage and the Taoist ancestral court. There is not a single word of error in the three scriptures!"

"Although Yu Lianzhou, the leader of Wudang, is from a small sect, he is diligent in studying the scriptures and his mastery of the scriptures is very proficient. He can be tied for first place with Master Zhang Tianshi!"

"As for Buddhism..."

Zhu Yunxi turned his attention to Yuanjue and Huiming.

"Yuanjue, your Xiantong Temple is worthy of the title given by the Emperor. Although you have made a few mistakes and omissions, they are all minor problems and are just missing words. I will not punish you alone!"

When Yuanjue heard this, he was no longer as arrogant as before, and he quickly bowed to thank him.

"The poor monk thanks the great grandson for the compliment!"

"When this poor monk returns to the mountain, he must practice hard behind closed doors and study the scriptures intensively. Only in this way can he live up to His Highness..."

Zhu Yunxi nodded towards Yuanjue, and then looked at Huiming aside.

"Huiming, you have brought glory to Puji Temple, and you only made a few mistakes..."

When Huiming heard this, he also imitated Senior Brother Yuanjue and bowed to worship.

"The poor monk thanks His Highness for the compliment!"

In fact, these two people were a bit wrong. Buddhist scriptures have been spread for a long time, and the versions in different dynasties are different. The standard version that Zhu Yunxi gave to his students was only published in recent years. It is not the same as what Yuanjue Huiming and others studied in the early years.

Version.

Therefore, some of the words are indeed different, and some belong to the category of Tongqi characters.

But Zhu Yunxi didn't want to make things easy for them. He would catch loopholes if they existed, and he would also catch loopholes if they didn't exist. After Zhu Yunxi caught the two Buddhist bosses, he became less polite to others.

"As for you, are you worthy of being called disciples of Buddhism?"

"Yuanjue, Huiming, you two hand out the papers that belong to your Buddhist sect, and let them see for themselves how long they were wrong!

"Zhang Yuchu, Yu Lianzhou, the Taoist sect belongs to you two..."

Four big figures from the Buddhist and Taoist religions came forward to receive the papers and handed them out. All the monks and Taoists below fell silent.

Some of the whole paragraphs that could not be written silently made me stand there with sweat on my forehead and a guilty look on my face.

Because just now the emperor's grandson had spoken first, and anyone who couldn't be written silently would be banned on the spot, and the property would be confiscated! Zhu Yunxi saw that everyone had gotten their own papers, and then he spoke leisurely.

"Everyone, I am not the one who destroys the Buddha and the Tao."

"In fact, Gu also highly praises and respects Buddhism and Taoism."

"However, your performance is so disappointing."

"I have said before that if I can't write even three verses silently, I will help the Buddha and Sanqing to get rid of these scum who are pretending to be a sect of Buddhism and cheating."

"Do you still have any objections now?"

As soon as Zhu Yunxi said this, the people below fell into silence.

silence?

This is not what Zhu Yunxi wants. Since they don't want to offend anyone, he can only name them.

"Yuanjue, Huiming, tell me, you two are doing the assessment for the Buddha alone, supervising Buddhism all over the world, and weeding out the bad apples. Is this the right thing to do?"

Yuanjue and Huiming's hearts sank when they heard this. They were putting them on the fire.

However, what makes the two of them even more depressed is that this is the emperor's grandson standing up for justice!

Even if the emperor's grandson abolishes their ultimatum and bans their sect, people in the world will only blame them for not being knowledgeable and for being a deceitful person.

Therefore, after a moment of confusion, the two hurriedly stepped forward to sing praises.

"Your Highness, Holy Ming!"

"It is most appropriate for Your Highness to monitor the world's monasteries for the Buddha. Those who do not study Buddhism diligently should be eliminated!"

"Since the two masters have said this, someone will come and conduct this assessment

Those who fail to pass will be dragged down, their ultimatums will be cancelled, their sects will be banned, all the monks under their names will be forced to return to secular life, and all temple properties will be confiscated!"

"promise!"

The list of unqualified people has been sorted out a long time ago. Zhu Yunqiang was not strict about the definition of qualified. He ignored all the errors and omissions in words. Only the unlearned and unskilled people with large blanks were judged unqualified by him.

As the Jin Yiwei led the people out, the phalanx of monks in the main hall was suddenly reduced by more than half, which made the two masters Yuan Jue and Huiming twitch in their faces.

Just when the Taoists were gloating over their misfortune, Zhu Yunxi spoke again.

"I came from the Sanqing sect. I had no intention of going against my fellow disciples, but you guys are so disappointing!"

"The Taoist Patriarch left behind a 5,000-word Tao Te Ching, and you can't even memorize it. Do you still have the nerve to wear this Taoist robe?"

"Come here, take off the Taoist robes of those who fail to pass the Taoist sect this time, remove them from the Daolu Department, ban their sect, and confiscate all the land and property under their sect's name!"

"promise!"
