Chen stayed for ten days, then returns to the prefectural city. The following day, Gu Yu then passed in the reference appendix. 陈焉住了十来天,便返回府城。接下来的日子,顾玙便在备考中度过。 The gas recovery is basic, this decided that own upper limit, cultivating the technique is the key, this is the security. In addition, in his also use the storehouse, please consecrate to refine a short-sword. 采气是根本,这决定自身的上限,修术是关键,这是安全保障。除此之外,他还动用家中库藏,请供奉炼制了一把短剑。 No is too extraordinary, is sharper than the common fine steel sword, is more tenacious. 没什么太出奇的,就是比寻常的精钢剑更锋锐,更坚韧一些。 In the microcosm special is the law master, the military study art of attack and defense is the track, cultivator rarely studies. Therefore in the mansion is strange, sees him to gesticulate in the courtyard every day, often draws in Cao Huazhang to the war, thought that is the waste time. 小世界里都特么是法爷,武学技击乃小道,修士很少专研。所以府里非常奇怪,见他每天在院子里比比划划,不时拉上曹化彰对战,都觉得是浪费时间。 Wastes the time? Hehe, funny! 浪费时间？呵呵,搞笑咧！ In an instant several months pass by, the autumn tests already. 转眼几个月过去,秋考已至。 The Luming county Xichuan mansion, the Xichuan mansion by the Lutai mansion, two mansion Daoist temples all subordinates in this bamboo governs. The loyal Yang Guo Daoist temple will conduct an inspection in the spring of every year, the unqualified person expels, in the fall of that year solicited again. 鹿鸣县属西川府,西川府挨着芦台府,二府道观皆隶属于本竹治。贞阳国的宫观每年春季都会举办一次考核,不合格者逐出,当年秋季再重新招录。 Therefore the autumn tests is not every year has, must vacate the quota to be good. But Luming is the prosperous district, according to the rules and regulations, should have Monastery Lord one, impressive and dignified manner, teacher, disciple 12, 15 people. 所以秋考不是每年都有,要空出名额才行。而鹿鸣为旺县,按照规制,应有观主一名,威仪一名,教习一名,弟子十二,共十五人。 The impressive and dignified manner is responsible for supervising, eight product Daoguan ; The teachers are responsible for enlightening, nine chief ministers of state officer, is most preliminary first-grade. 威仪负责监察,八品道官;教习负责教化,九品道官,也是最低级的一等。 In the early morning, Chen Residence bustled about long time ago. 这日清晨,陈府早早就忙碌起来。 Chen Jing personally accompanies, rides the carriage to go to the city south ten li (0.5 km) Luming view. He is not quite confident, but looks at youngest son slightly whole both eyes, old god, actually confident appearance. 陈靖亲自陪同,乘着马车前往城南十里的鹿鸣观。他不太有信心,但看小儿子微阖双目,老神在在,倒是胸有成竹的样子。 Good a regulation, the carriage arrived in the Daoist temple. The scale is big, does not have the so-called main hall side hall, because here say/way is not a religion. Several courtyard sets in the same place, have the classroom, dwelling, dining hall, meeting hall and dwelling place, the room, the nearby also has Tamada, the beast garden and ratio to fight the field...... to look like the school many. 行了一程,马车抵达宫观。规模不小,没有所谓的正殿偏殿,因为这里的道并非宗教。只是几个院子套在一起,有课堂、住处、饭厅、议事厅、丹房、器房,附近还有灵田、兽园、比斗场……更像学院多一点。 „Master, Young master, to!” “老爷,少爷,到了！” The cart drivers greeted one, Chen Jing and Gu Yu got down the carriage, before seeing the view, is stopping many frames, some shabby common people raised the head to look around. 车夫招呼一声,陈靖和顾玙下了马车,见观前停着不少车架,还有一些衣衫破旧的百姓翘首张望。 „Two quotas, always my impoverished family, hereditary scholar class, testing the content is different, therefore you do not need to manage them, the biggest opponent was still slow Jie.” “两个名额,历来寒门一个,士族一个,考验内容不同,所以你不必管他们,最大的对手仍是徐介。” Chen Jing is holding son's hand, will say does not know many urgings repeat, delivers to the front door eloquence to loosen. 陈靖拉着儿子的手,将说了不知多少遍的叮嘱又重复一遍,直送到大门口才松开。 „Father returns temporarily rests, child went.” “父亲暂回返歇息,孩儿进去了。” Gu Yu does obeisance to Chen Jing, enters into with stride. 顾玙冲着陈靖一拜,大步迈入。 When are not many, there is a track person to come out to shout: „Double-hour, the miscellaneous personnel one should withdraw, seals a door!” 过不多时,有位小道人出来喊:“时辰到,闲杂人等一应退避,封门！” „!” “咣啷！” Two leaves of heavy/thick wooden doors closed up slowly, covered everyone's vision. 两扇厚重的木门缓缓合拢,遮盖了所有人的目光。 Said Gu Yu to come, was directed the quadrangle, all around one sizes up, takes the test has more than 50 people, from the white hair old man, to the early childhood young boy, the style is not very unified. 却说顾玙进来,被引到中庭,四周一打量,参加考试的有五十多人,上至白发老翁,下至垂髫幼童,风格十分不统一。 Because does not limit the age in principle, so long as there is the local rural gentry and a scholar , cultivator and other guarantee then to be just enterable, naturally others do receive is a different matter. 因为原则上不限年龄,只要有本地乡绅、士人、里正、修士等担保便可参加,当然人家收不收是另外一回事。 Station that the crowd distinguishes right from wrong two groups, slow Jie comfortable in. He finds Gu Yu, does not dare to clamor the provocation, but narrowed the eye, shows a thick taunt. 人群泾渭分明的站成两拨,徐介自在其中。他瞧见顾玙,不敢喧哗挑衅,但眯了眯眼睛,透出一股浓浓的嘲讽。 Likely dog! 啧,像条狗！ Gu Yu pounded the lower jaw, did not pay attention. 顾玙砸吧了下嘴,不予理会。 Before long, a disciple came out, selected 20 people of names, right went in a big room. He listens to Chen Jing saying that is not literate like these, family's poor ordinary citizens, the Daoist temple are also willing to give the opportunity. 不一会,一位弟子出来,点了二十人的名,进去右侧一间大屋。他听陈靖讲过,像这些不识字,家庭贫苦的寻常百姓,道观也愿给予机会。 Generally looks at the aptitude, observes the root bone, the family background is pure, outstanding can become alternative, struggles that scarce quota. 一般是看资质,观根骨,家世清白,优异者便可成为备选,去争一争那稀少名额。 But shortly after they go, also some disciples come out to mention by name, the remaining more than 30 people were brought to arrive at another big room. Inside is suspending many tables, the case upper berth the words paper volume. 而他们进去不久,又有弟子出来点名,剩下的三十余人被带到另一间大屋。里面摆着很多桌案,案上铺着笔墨纸卷。 A figure thin female Daoist stands in front, the facial features are mild, the attitude is compatible. The disciple introduced: „This is the view teacher, Priest Xun Yu.” 一位身形清瘦的女道人立在前面,眉眼温润,态度亲和。那弟子介绍:“此乃本观教习,荀玉道长。” The people salute hastily. 众人连忙行礼。 „This time inspects to divide two, the first article tries, burning a joss stick time, after trying, I can on the spot scrutinization, you bring upon oneself the seat.” “此番考核分两场,第一场文试,一炷香时间,试后我会当堂审阅,你们自找座位吧。” She explained simply, no special procedure/program, the people took a seat. 她简单讲解,没什么特别程序,众人呼啦啦就座。 The following incense stick ignites, Xun Yu closes eyes to sit well, in the haze curls reveals the deportment, just like a a living Buddha. But under the people all are in the heart tremble, only thinks that gentle aura has swept the audience, does not have the secret. 跟着线香燃起,荀玉闭目端坐,在烟气袅袅中更显仪态,宛如一尊活菩萨。但底下众人皆是心中一颤,只觉一股柔和的气息扫过全场,毫无隐秘可言。 „With rapt attention time?” “凝神期么？” Gu Yu looked at her several eyes, then no longer pays attention, lowers the head to take a look at the examination paper, the topic quantity is not big, but is mixed. Has to ask that the loyal Yang national history, has to ask the cultivation outline, has to ask some hundred years of debating unceasingly issue, was written the viewpoint by oneself. 顾玙看了她几眼,便不再理会,低头瞅了瞅卷子,题量不大,但非常杂。有问贞阳国史的,有问修行要略的,有问某个百年争论不休的问题,让自己写出观点的。 However is the same, compared with the foundation, quite resembles the young lad in imperial civil service examination to try. 不过有一样,都比较基础,颇似科举中的童子试。 He listens to the father to raise early, writing test gives itself this kind of person to prepare specially, for many years has studied unusual is thorough. The Chen Residence good and evil is the district looks at the family, has the reserve. 他早听老爹提过,文试是专门给自己这类人准备的,多年来研究的非常透彻。陈府好歹是县望家族,自有储备。 Gu Yu beforehand has trained many times, slightly a thinking takes pen in hand then to write. 顾玙之前演练过很多次,略一思索提笔便写。 The surrounding examinee mostly so, is also fast, stops later one after another, as if encountered a difficult problem. 周围的考生也大多如此,速度飞快,随后又接连停顿,似乎碰到了一道难题。 „, Interesting, unexpectedly asked that to attitude that Qiyuan Country seeks a marriage alliance......” “呵,有意思,居然问对启元国求亲的态度……” Gu Yu looks at the last problem, laughs in spite of trying not. 顾玙看着最后一道题,不禁失笑。 The examination paper is the person of integrity who a bamboo governs, the person of integrity is the high-level teacher, is responsible for the area of jurisdiction enlightening. Loyal Yang Guo far away from chaos caused by war, safe several hundred years, common people and cultivator likely domestic pet, had lost the sense of crisis. 试卷乃本竹治的高士所出,高士就是高级教习,亦负责辖区教化。贞阳国远离战乱,平安了几百年,百姓和修士都像家养的宠物,已经丧失了危机感。 Qiyuan Country seeking a marriage alliance incident, many of support, few of opposition. Result person of integrity shining writing in the examination paper, feared is rare is willing the person of ponder. 启元国求亲一事,支持的多,反对的少。结果这位高士明晃晃的写在试卷里,怕是少有的肯思考之人。 He takes pen in hand to think, writes down several. 他提笔想了想,方写下几句。 After to be inspected, fragrant also burnt the head quickly, many people set out to complete an assignment, Gu Yu also handed over. Everyone has not left, still sat in the original position waits. 待检查一遍后,香也快烧到了头,不少人起身交卷,顾玙也交了上去。大家并未离开,仍坐在原处等待。 Sees only that Xun Yu Daoist to hold the examination paper, read, often nods knits the brows. Suddenly, her vision lives, stares moves in an examination paper also motionless. 只见那荀玉道人捧着试卷,一张张翻看,不时颔首皱眉。忽然间,她目光顿住,盯在一份卷子上动也不动。 On that writes short a few words: 那上面写着短短的一段话: „Somebody wicked mouse, the family asked the good cat, tired by the fishy smell paste, slept by felt ji. The cat is full and peaceful, leads not to eat the mouse, really and mouse game, the mouse benefits the violent because of this.” “某人恶鼠,破家求良猫,厌以腥膏,眠以毡罽。猫既饱且安,率不食鼠,甚者与鼠游戏,鼠以故益暴。” This is a story that loyal Yang Guo spreads very much, is similar to the Xia Country idiom literary reference. 这是贞阳国很流传的一个故事,跟夏国的成语典故差不多。 Said that person very repugnant mouse, uses the family property in order to one to have the cat. He uses the tasty fish to feed it, sleeps to it with the soft felt blanket. The cat eats very full, moreover is very easy and comfortable, is not willing to catch the mouse, even kids around with the mouse, the mouse is therefore more rampant. 说有个人非常讨厌老鼠,倾尽家财以求一只好猫。他用鲜美的鱼肉喂养它,用柔软的毡子给它睡觉。猫既吃得很饱,而且很安逸,就不愿捕捉老鼠了,甚至和老鼠一起嬉闹,老鼠因此更加猖獗。 Xun Yu looked at for a long time, uppered shift the vision, volume writes the name: Chen Yu. 荀玉看了许久,才将目光上移,卷头写着姓名:陈昱。 She looked at the eye some young lad who sat well at the session, the side was crossing the examination paper. 她又瞧了眼在席间端坐的某个童子,方将试卷翻过。 Without spending how much time, she then scrutinizes, said: „stretch/open Jun, Ou Shun, the valley peak...... are one after nexts, you return to the home.” 没花多少时间,她便审阅完毕,道:“张隽、欧顺、谷峰……为下下,你们返家去吧。” The one breath selected five, these five people the facial color is pale immediately, actually does not dare to explain away, salutes reluctantly, swayed gate. 一口气点了五个,这五人立时面色惨白,却也不敢声辩,勉强施了一礼,摇摇晃晃的出得门去。 .................. ……………… writing test tests, the people return to the quadrangle. 文试考罢,众人又回到中庭。 Another group of people had walked most probably, but also remains five people on the scene, small 4 or 5-year-old, then greatly 12 three, all shrink, the look is terrified. 另一拨人已走了大半,还剩五人在场,小则四五岁,大则十二三,皆是畏畏缩缩,神色惶恐。 „Snort!” “哼！” slow Jie looks to them extremely does not glance, pushes intentionally a girl of whole body patch. The girls stagger, nearly throws down, the eye socket is red immediately, actually endures not to cry. 徐介对他们极看不上眼,故意挤开一个浑身补丁的女童。女童一趔趄,险些摔倒,眼圈立时通红,却生生忍着没哭。 „Five take one, is really the good luck!” “五取一,真是好命！” „Yes, why so treats harshly to us?” “就是,为何对我们如此苛待？” „Above must balance the influence , to promote my impoverished family......” “上面要平衡势力,提拔寒门……” „, Must talk too much not!” “嘘,莫要多言！” One group of people whispered, was filled with the complaint, that five people shrank in the corner, does not dare to answer back. 一群人嘀嘀咕咕,满心抱怨,那五人缩在角落,丝毫不敢还嘴。 Gu Yu is looking in side, oneself all are aristocratic family, since childhood the studying gas recovery, the start took off. The other side is the poor my impoverished family, various aspect having no way ratios, but the royal government and Chong Xuanyuan are willing to give the opportunity. 顾玙在旁瞧着,自己一方皆是世家子,自幼读书采气,起步就是起飞。另一方是贫民寒门,各方面都没法比,但朝廷和崇玄院愿意给机会。 He feels interesting, the thought transferred many, catches the eye suddenly looks, the Xun Yu Daoist does not know when stood in the front stone steps. 他觉着有趣,念头转了甚多,忽地抬眼一瞧,荀玉道人不知何时站在了前方石阶上。 „Their one group, to along with me comes.” “俩人一组,点到名的随我进来。” „Mountain Tao, Kong Li!” “山韬,孔黎！” „Liu Yu, writing Huan!” “刘裕,文欢！” Groups of go, before long comes out, or dejected, either uneasy, unexpectedly no one likes. Arrived most end, Xun Yu looked quickly, said: „slow Jie, Chen Yu!” 一组组进去,不一会又出来,或垂头丧气,或惴惴不安,竟无一人欢喜。很快到了最末,荀玉看了看,道:“徐介,陈昱！” „In!” “在！” Two people look at each other one, slow Jie extremely covert selected the eyebrow, as if wins. 二人对视一眼,徐介极为隐蔽的挑了挑眉毛,似乎志在必得。 In Gu Yu heart strange, along with Xun Yu entered in the hall, sees inside to sit two handymen in buddhist temple. Drooping old, white-haired, obviously life completely. Another middle-aged person look, the board a face, is seeming very serious. 顾玙心中古怪,随荀玉进了内堂,见里面坐着两位道人。一位垂垂老矣,满头白发,显然寿元将尽。另一位中年人相貌,板着一张脸,显得非常严肃。 „This is the view Monastery Lord Wu father, this view impressive and dignified manner Guo Kejing.” “这是本观观主吴老子,本观威仪郭可敬。” „Has seen two seniors!” “见过两位前辈！” Gu Yu and slow Jieqi prostrates oneself together, Xun Yu also sits on the third chair, is actually three people verifies together. 顾玙和徐介齐齐拜倒,荀玉也坐在第三张椅子上,却是三人共同审核。 „Gets up!” “起来吧！” Wu father closes one's eyes, does not say a word, as if fell asleep. Guo Kejing wielded starting, the intonation is mechanical, said: „Luming district Tianshui Lane Xu Residence, slow Jie?” 吴老子闭着眼睛,一言不发,似乎睡着了。郭可敬则挥了下手,语调刻板冷漠,道:“鹿鸣县甜水巷徐府,徐介？” „In!” “在！” slow Jie hurries to go forward one step. 徐介赶紧上前一步。 „The law of eight years old of custom low-grade gas recovery, four years, has cultivated symbol technique 15 now in addition......” “八岁习下品采气之法,今已四年,另修符术十五道……” When Guo Kejing material 11 according to registration inquired, slow Jiejie should be. 郭可敬按照报名时的资料一一问询,徐介皆应是。 Afterward, he turns to Wu father, „Monastery Lord invited!” 随后,他转向吴老子,“观主请！” „......” “……” Wu father moves at this time, but has not opened eyes, but is the forehead central body splits suddenly, appears golden god eyes. This eyeball is staring at slow Jie, emits gold/metal one on him to sweep together, vanishes in a flash. 吴老子此时方动了动,但也没睁眼,而是额头中央的皮肉骤然裂开,显出一只金色神眼。这眼珠子盯着徐介,放出一道金芒在他身上一扫,转瞬消失。 Immediately, the god eyes also fall the body, the forehead restore smoothly. 随即,神眼也陷进皮肉,额头恢复平整。 „Really was inscribed 15 rune/symbol mark, in the air/Qi rushed racing wells up, the accumulation was quite deep, aptitude for......” “确是铭刻了十五道符纹,内气澎湃奔涌,积累颇深,资质为……” Wu father, gave the appraisal: „In in!” 吴老子顿了顿,给出评价:“中上！” ! 咝！ Gu Yu surprised, what technique law this is, is it possible that is the magical powers? Inscribed several symbol marks to see continually! 顾玙大为惊讶,这是什么术法,莫非是神通？连铭刻了几道符纹都能看到！ „Small age has such cultivation base, the material of solid then it will be possible making.” “小小年纪就有如此修为,实乃可造之材。” Guo Kejing nods, resembles appreciates, with shifts to Gu Yu. 郭可敬点点头,似非常欣赏,跟着又转向顾玙。 „Chen Yu, the law of seven years old of custom low-grade gas recovery, two years, cultivate/repair symbol technique seven now......” “陈昱,七岁习下品采气之法,今两年整,修符术七道……” „.” “正是。” Just like before, after question and answer, Wu father opens the god eyes again, golden light sweeps. Gu Yu only thinks divine soul to shiver, looked at inside and outside clearly thorough, even more is surprised. 跟之前一样,问答过后,吴老子再开神眼,金光一扫。顾玙只觉神魂颤动,里里外外被看个清楚透彻,不由愈发惊讶。 Wu father has doubts slightly obviously, said: „true qi is thin, but is quite pure, really has seven rune/symbol mark.” 吴老子却稍显疑惑,道:“真气稀薄,但较为精纯,确有七道符纹。” „Aptitude how?” Guo Kejing asked. “资质如何？”郭可敬问。 „With is on.” “同为中上。” Wu father said, no longer opens the mouth. 吴老子说罢,就不再开口。 Guo Kejing looks like the person of taking responsibility on the contrary, the review said: „ This autumn tests 50 people, examines. slow Jie is diligent assiduously, wholeheartedly to saying, the aptitude is fine, should be selected. 郭可敬反倒像做主之人,点评道:“此次秋考共五十人,审验完毕。徐介勤勉好学,一心向道,资质优良,理应入选。 Some other Qingshan Village seven -year-old orphan girl Lu Xiaolian, the life experience is pure, in the aptitude on, with should be selected. ” 另有青山村七岁孤女陆小莲,身世清白,资质上上,同应入选。” He looks to Gu Yu, said: „Chen Yu, is stubbornly disobedient, the lazy dispersion, is insufficient into my front gate wall, you return to the home!” 他又看向顾玙,道:“陈昱,性情顽劣,懒惰游散,不足以入我门墙,你返家去吧！” ( Evening also has......) (晚上还有……)
