172: Xiaocheng Rebellion (12) [Please vote for me]
Shen Tang has doubts: "For family background, you can look up your place of origin and genealogy, for literary grade, you can look at the literary monogram, for 'talent' you can take a test, but for 'character', it is too subjective. Everyone's views are slightly different. The same thing done by the same person may be evaluated at two extremes in the eyes of different people. I don’t know of any assessment method that can measure even this..."
This selection method is very problematic.
The "character" item is obviously used to make mistakes at first glance.
"Talent" depends on one's own strength, but "character" depends on the examiner.
On the surface, the banner of "fairness and justice" is being promoted, but the executor is not a saint. Anyone who is not a flawless person can be taken advantage of. There are benefits, who wouldn't stick to their own family?
Relying on the bonds of blood and working together, the small group will naturally grow bigger and bigger, and its position in the DPRK will become stronger and stronger.
The human heart is greedy, and desires will expand infinitely.
The higher the status, the greater the power, and the desire will rise linearly. From the beginning, "it will be good if you can enter the official career", to "it will be good if you can climb higher", then to "it will be good if you are in the most respected position", until " "The wealth of the descendants will be endless", and the appetite will only get bigger and bigger.
Just thinking about that scene makes me feel like I'm on imperial pills.
Sure enough, the Xin Kingdom was over.
Qi Shan: "There is a road to the mountain of books, and diligence is the path; there is no limit to the sea of learning, and the boat is the boat. This sentence should be very familiar to Mr. Shen Xiaolang."
Shen Tang nodded.
Of course she is no stranger.
Five out of ten slogans on the blackboard in the school classroom are this. The purpose is, as long as you can't learn to death, you must learn to death. Shen Tang's memory when she was not in school told her intuitively that it was boring.
"Then what?"
Shen Tang asked.
Suddenly thinking of the fantasy setting of a world without science, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly: "Could it be that there really is a mountain of books and a sea of knowledge?"
Qi Shan nodded.
Shen Tang: "..."
Why are recommendation quotas so valuable?
Because it is not only a ticket for white-clad students to enter the officialdom, but also a precious opportunity to enter the "Holy Land of Mountains and Seas".
It is no exaggeration to say that it is the holy place in the heart of every literary scholar. With luck, you can even get a completely transformed place.
Qi Shan: "Why else is the national seal so important?"
Shen Tang: "..."
This all has the role of the national seal???
Not only that, it's very close.
As mentioned before, the national seal is made from fragments of the Thief Star.
Each piece of Thief Star fragment contains vast and profound spiritual words, and even the king can only dig out and seal a part of it.
How to get the rest?
Naturally, it is brought out by entering the "Holy Land of Mountains and Seas"!
"Normally, a person can only enter once in a lifetime!"
Shen Tang complained: "Normally, it is for ordinary people. Those who are cheating will definitely go there more than once!"
Qishan said: "It's almost like Chu Wuhui."
Shen Tang: "...???"
Qishan explained: "For those who have entered the 'Holy Land of Mountains and Seas', a special mark will appear on the inscription on the inscription on the heart. With this mark, they will not be able to enter for the second time. His inscription is condensed twice, and the inscription on the inscription is dry. Clean so he can go again."
Theoretically this is the case.
If Chu Wuhui can win over his old face...
Shen Tang: "...In this way, the more people, the better."
It turns out that the cheater is right next to her!
"That's not true. Opening the 'Holy Land of Mountains and Seas' consumes a lot of national luck. The more people who enter, the more national luck is needed."
Shen Tang secretly muttered——
Good guy, you have to pay a ticket once you enter.
It's not free, it's a failure.
Shen Tang touched his chin and asked curiously: "Yuan Liang, what does the 'Holy Land of Mountains and Seas' you mentioned look like? Countless mountains? A sea?"
How are students assessed when entering?
Climbing in the morning and swimming in the afternoon?
Do I have to bring a lot of blank paper with me when I go in?
Qishan's eyes were in a daze for a moment. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the county guard who lowered his head and didn't know what to think. He pursed his lips and said, "There are two gates in the Holy Land, one leading to the 'Book Mountain' and the other to the 'Sea of Learning'." The mountain of books is endless, and it is said that there are more than a thousand..."
Shen Tang was surprised: "More than a thousand seats?"
so much?
Qi Shan continued to introduce: "There is a huge plaque hanging high on the top of every mountain, or it says 'Confucianism', or it says 'Fa', or it says 'Tao', or it says 'Mo'... The mountains vary in size, most of them are They are all shrouded in black and white style, and no one knows how tall they are..."
Only in places where predecessors have stepped, will the black and white culture that shrouds that place dissipate. Every plant, flower, and tree there, even the soil under your feet and the gravel on the roadside, are all composed of Yanling characters. The air of heaven and earth is so rich that it turns into mist.
Every breath is a wash.
The higher you go up the mountain of books, the richer the aura of heaven and earth becomes.
There are too many secrets in the "Holy Land of Mountains and Seas". Even though countless literati have set foot here over the past two hundred years, most of the "Book Mountains" have not even lit up the suspended plaques on the top of the mountain.
As for "Xuehai"...
Qi Shan: "It is an ocean where words and spirits gather together. When a scribe enters it, he has to withstand the impact of the waves of words and spirits. Each impact is a different 'sand table battlefield'. The winner can continue to leave the impact of the waves, and the loser can continue to impact the waves. They will be sent out. There is also an interesting rumor about 'Xuehai'. It is said that there is a person who hit the waves 66 times in a row..."
Ordinary students are considered qualified if they can pass 12 exams.
More than 20 are among the best...
Before the emergence of 66 channels, the highest record was 36 channels.
That guy is equivalent to doubling the record at once.
It's not that he is powerful, but that he is lucky. As soon as he entered the "sea of learning", he discovered a new literary heart and soul - "There will be times when the wind breaks through the waves, and the sails will sail directly to the sea -" directly in " "Learning the sea" turns into a ship and sets sail, riding the wind and waves.
Other scholars were splashing in the water or being washed away by the waves of the "sea of learning"... It is really a typical example of people being more irritating than others.
Shen Tang concluded thoughtfully.
"So, 'Shushan' is suitable for people who are regular and steady, while 'Xuehai' is for gamblers who take a chance and turn their bicycles into motorcycles?"
No one can stop luck when it comes.
Climb 66 waves and win the crown of the most wave.
Qishan said: "This is just on the surface."
It seems that Shushan is very stable and safe, but is it actually?
He looked surprisingly calm.
"When I entered Shushan, I was with Yuan Liang, but Yuan Liang believed this guy's rhetoric and was tricked into going to a secret place that no one had ever set foot in - the three of us were trapped together, and this guy used me They were sacrificed at the door of death, and he escaped from the door of life... Yuanliang didn't exist at that time. He gave me his only chance of life, and he froze to death in the snow..."
The county guard secretly clenched his fists.
Qishan said: "I dare not think back now - how a living person died in the raging wind and snow. His body was as stiff as ice and could not be warmed no matter how hard he covered it... And all this, Yan Cheng, do you dare to say that you Don’t know? Is that just an accident?”

|???ω??)???
Gan, Sogou is cheating on me again...
PS: I made a mistake in typing the sentence "There will be times when the wind and waves break". My fault has been corrected.
PPS: A useless trivia, there are actually almost a thousand schools of thought...
