Early in the morning on December 18th, the Junshan Temple was bustling with people. Hundreds of monks gathered at the steps in front of the temple, eagerly waiting for the exam time. Behind the monks, the three floors inside and outside were crowded.
They were all Junshan people from the village who came to watch the fun.
Bai Geng, holding the wooden sign No. 13, was also standing among the monks. Next to him was Miss Jiang from the Kongkongmen who had squeezed in at some point.
"Brother Bai, I'm sorry, I was too impulsive yesterday." Miss Jiang lowered her head and admitted her mistake.
Bai Geng grinned: "It doesn't matter, I've experienced too much about this, it's not worth mentioning."
"The little girl knows she is not worthy of Big Brother Bai, so she doesn't ask for anything else, but she only wants one thing from Big Brother Bai, and the little girl's wish is granted."
"What is Miss Jiang's wish..."
Just as Bai Geng asked, he heard a gong ringing in front of the temple door, and someone shouted: "The time has come, the monks who are taking the exam are entering!"
The crowd suddenly became commotion, and the monks who had signed up to take the exam crowded forward and headed into the temple.
"My son, compete well and don't embarrass my family-in-law..."
"Disciple, don't think about anything else. Just focus on competing. Even if it doesn't work, there will be another time..."
"Brother, here are three heart-nourishing pills. I went to Huayun Pavilion to ask for them for my brother. If you feel weak, just take them..."
"Husband, I am waiting for you here. I wish you success soon..."
Amidst all the commotion, Bai Geng didn't know when there was a piece of paper in his hand, but it was stuffed by Miss Jiang. He didn't have time to look at it, so he walked up the steps with the wooden sign in hand.
Lu Jin and Song Xiong blocked the temple door and checked one by one.
"Guo Zhiwei, male cultivator, Pingwu County Lingyao Villa, Great Master Realm, fair and beardless, round face, No. 3, um, please come in."
"Long Qingwei, male cultivator, Yangcao Mountain, Pingwu County, Huangguanjing, square face and big ears, No. 18, um, please come in."
"Jingxing layman, female cultivator, Jingxingyan, Huangguanjing, Pingwu County, Xing... Well, on the 19th, please come in."
"Bai Geng, male cultivator, Qingzhu Valley, Jiangyou County, Huangguan Realm, face like jade, wood like bright stars, rich and handsome, nose like hanging gallbladder... Is this a ditty written? This guy... No. 13
, please come in."
Bai Geng entered the temple gate and followed the queue inside, passing through the Jade Emperor's Palace, dormitories and other places, and came to the back garden. He saw the pond, hills, red pavilion lawn, and jade belt flowing spring in the garden. It was small and contained hidden meanings.
There is a meaning that I can't describe, I just feel that I am in it, relaxed and happy.
There were already four people sitting in the small pavilion. Bai Geng had seen Zhao Ran among them when he came and knew that these four people should be the judges of this written examination, four Taoists from Long'an, Baoning, Dufu and Tongchuan.
There were more than twenty sets of tables and chairs placed around the pavilion, widely spaced apart from each other. Bai Geng walked over, found the number 13, and sat on the seat. Now that he had time, Bai Geng took out the note from Miss Jiang.
, I saw it said "Tonight, at midnight, on the top of Junshan Mountain."
Bai Geng couldn't help but tremble, thinking of the spiritual wolf last night, and looked at Miss Jiang who was sitting diagonally across the table behind the table, and signaled several times that he wanted to talk to her, but Miss Jiang blushed and refused to look at him.
In desperation, I had to give up for now and remind Miss Jiang after the written test.
The written test started soon. Bai Geng drew the test paper from Set A. After the questions were handed out, he quickly browsed through them. Bai Geng was determined and began to answer the questions without thinking.
The first question is about the semantic ordering of logical relationships:
Zi: The remains of many ancient magical artifacts and magic circle relics discovered and unearthed in Longan, Baoning and other areas in northern Sichuan are evidence of this.
Ugly: After the war, the spiritual energy and magical treasures were deposited, and a large number of spiritual grass, spiritual flowers, and spiritual minerals were quickly bred. These plants with spiritual energy attracted a large number of monsters and beasts to gather.
Yin: Affected by the agitation of spiritual energy, many places here are very suitable for the cultivation and growth of monsters.
Mao: Monsters also attracted monks living in the hinterland of the Central Plains to hunt in northern Sichuan.
Chen: Although northern Sichuan is located in an area with dense mountains, this area was where the ancient monks fought fiercely.
Si: This happened about 60,000 to 50,000 years ago during the prehistoric era.
Rearrange the above six sentences and mark the sequence numbers as: ()
Bai Geng didn't even read the question, so he directly filled in the blank with "Chen Yin Chou Mao Si Zi".
Then look down, the second question is about quantity relations:
There are three piles of spiritual fruits. The first pile contains 303 spiritual fruits, the second pile accounts for one-fifth of the total number of spiritual fruits, and the third pile of spiritual fruits accounts for several sevenths of the total number of spiritual fruits. Looking for spiritual fruits.
total number.
Zi.Three thousand five hundred and thirty-five
Ugly.Three thousand six hundred and thirty-six
Yin.Three thousand seven hundred and thirty-seven
Mao. Three thousand eight hundred and thirty-eight
Bai Geng filled in the blank "子" without thinking.
He quickly finished answering the previous twenty-five Taoist test questions, and then began to answer the application essay. The application essay is to independently select a passage from the Taoist scriptures, and then explain in turn a certain exercise he has recently practiced, and describe the practical use of this exercise. The entire written test
It only took less than an hour for Bai Geng to answer all the questions.
After answering the questions, Bai Geng looked at the monks around him and saw that everyone was still working hard to answer the questions. Some were writing quickly, some were scratching their heads, and some were looking around. No one had handed in the paper. So he endured his patience.
, continue to wait for the appropriate time to hand in the paper.
When he was bored, Bai Geng kept watching the four Taoists walking in the pavilion. His eyes always followed the female cultivator among them. He felt that this female cultivator had a slim waist, long legs, a clean face, and a very attractive appearance.
.
I heard that this girl is from Tongchuan Mansion, her surname is Pei, Bai Geng thought to himself, the Pei family is worthy of being one of the few descendant temples in Sichuan Province. Pei Zhongxing is so young, she is actually Huang Guanjing. When I was her age,
I'm afraid I'm still struggling in the Taoist realm.
Unknowingly, I watched too much, and was immediately noticed by Pei Zhongning. Pei Zhongning had a bad eye and immediately stared at him. Bai Geng quickly lowered his head, thinking about it, secretly thinking that this Pei is so hot, without any gentleness of a lady.
, what a pity.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a strange movement. Bai Geng raised his eyes and saw Pei Xingxing, his face as heavy as water. He quickly came down from the pavilion, walked straight to table No. 7, and picked up the test papers on the table.
, said coldly: "I told you earlier that you are not allowed to use Taoist magic during the exam. Do you think you said it in vain?"
The monk at table seven was over sixty years old. The old man stood up and defended himself: "I'm not feeling well, so I just used the Qingxin Jue. Isn't that okay?"
Pei Zhengying snorted: "You still dare to quibble? This examination room is a magic circle set up by Brother Zhao himself, and only eight defensive talismans are used! Is it the Pure Heart Technique or the Divine Eye Technique that you are pinching, do you want me to show you the magic on the spot?"
The old monk's lips were trembling and he didn't dare to argue anymore. He just begged for mercy: "Pei Xingxing, give me another chance. I'm sixty-nine years old. I've competed more than ten times and still haven't got a job. How can I still have face when I go back?"
?Just consider it as fulfilling my wish..."
Pei Zingying shook his head: "The rules are like iron. If you violate the rules, you will be punished. Otherwise, others will follow suit and this competition will be impossible to hold. Senior, go back."
The old monk was unwilling to plead to the pavilion: "Zhao Xingxing, please spare the little old man this time, okay? Let the little old man answer the questions completely?"
Zhao Ran couldn't bear it, but at this moment, in front of so many monks taking the exam, what could he do? He could only harden his heart and shake his head gently.
The old monk left the examination room in frustration. Looking at his lonely back, all the monks felt a chill in their hearts. They gave up other thoughts and answered the questions with peace of mind.
