Chapter 126 Examination of the City God
Ji Zihe was a little dazed when he woke up. Didn't he fall asleep on the bed? Why did he suddenly arrive at the Golden Palace?Is he losing his memory, or is he dreaming?
Ji Zihe looked around secretly. They are now in a very large hall, the head seat above is empty, and there are more than ten officials in official uniform sitting on both sides, dignified and dignified.
Surrounded by rows of tables and chairs, not too far away, all sitting candidates.None of the candidates were as confused as themselves, they were all writing hard.Seeing this, Ji Zihe only felt the alarm bell ringing in his head, and he didn't even think about whether he lost his memory or not.Whether it's true or not, this is in the examination room, why are you so dazed, the paper is finished!
Ji Zihe tried his best to calm himself down, not to think about other things, and looked down at the test paper in front of him.
The palace examination generally only takes one day, and the papers will be handed in at dawn and dusk.There is only one question in the palace examination paper, but the question alone has five or six hundred words, and sometimes even the question can reach thousands of words.It takes a long time to review such a topic, and there is no limit to the total number of words in the policy theory. It is generally about [-] words, but there is a certain format and word limit for the writing at the beginning and the middle.
In addition, writing is also very important. The imperial examination stipulates that writing must be written in traditional style.This style has many names. It used to be called Taige style, and it was also called Guange style. Of course, it doesn’t matter what the name is, as long as you know it. As printed, it is very pleasing to the eye.
The sky is a little dark today, and there are no lights in the main hall. It cannot be ruled out that it is because it is dark indoors, or it is almost dusk.Because in the examination room, Ji Zihe didn't dare to look left and right to see if there was any sun outside the palace gate behind him.What if he is found out and kicked out as cheating? He took the exam with great difficulty, so he must not fall by the wayside.
Ji Zihe could only plan for the worst, as if it was almost dusk, he was going to die, and his test paper was still blank.Ji Zihe almost cried from fright. What the hell was he doing in a daze before? He didn't write a single word.He simply didn't dare to think about what His Majesty the Emperor would think if he had been in a daze and handed in the blank papers. He might think that he despised the imperial power and send him to prison.
Lighting a piece of wax for himself in his heart, Ji Zihe quickly read the title twice.Maybe there is pressure to be motivated. Ji Zihe's thinking is clearer than usual, and he quickly sees the meaning of the topic. In short, he wants you to talk about what is the way to be an official.
Ji Zihe almost immediately finished typing the draft in his head, fearing that he would not have enough time, so he wrote much faster than usual.It's just that no matter how soon he has to write the draft first, and the draft's handwriting should not be too bad, otherwise it won't look good when it sticks to the paper.After finishing the draft, I read it twice, changed a few places, and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so I quickly started copying it on the paper.
In the palace exam, there is only one question, and there is only one day to write it. Why do some people feel that there is not enough time?It is nothing more than used for drafting. Some people can type out two or three articles after drafting, each of which is in petite lowercase, neat and tidy, as if they can be handed in directly.It's not because candidates pursue perfection, but because the imperial examinations are too important, they dare not have any place to relax.
Even if he was in a hurry, Ji Zihe didn't want to make a draft. The main reason is that the draft must be handed in together with the test paper. This is also a way to prevent cheating.Sometimes after reading your exam papers, you have to check your drafts. If the handwriting is too ugly and the paper is too ugly, it is not very good after all.
Furthermore, drafting can also give yourself a chance to revise and polish the article, revise the article to the best state, and then copy it on the test paper.
And typos are also a reason. Scholars these days think that reading and writing is actually a very sacred thing. Usually, they can write with a pen, and there are very few typos.But this is an imperial examination, a formal exam, there will always be nervous people, and it is normal to write typos occasionally, the draft is to give yourself a chance to make mistakes.
While all the candidates below were furiously writing, a small white dog blatantly ran to the main hall, but no one chased him away.
It wandered in from the door slowly, and looked at the candidates with various shapes on both sides while walking, with disgust in its eyes.The tongue of the hanged ghost could be used as a scarf, and it was wrapped around the neck, so disgusting.And that water ghost was covered in water, and he didn't know how to wipe it clean before coming back. Fortunately, the paper used in the palace test was made of ghost wood paper, which was waterproof.Oh, what is that lump of blood and flesh? God, it’s hard for you to write so seriously with such a lump on your neck...
As Xiaotiangou walked, he disliked him at the same time.If these candidates from the underworld knew about it, they would definitely feel wronged.They don't want to do this either. Who doesn't want to come out to meet people neatly? They also use spells to make themselves look like normal people on weekdays, but now it's an exam.
Because it is an imperial examination, it must be very strict.In order to prevent ghosts from cheating with spells, there is no way to use spells in the exam.This is a bit like the signal jammer in the modern examination room. Even if you bring electronic products into the examination room, there will be no signal immediately and it will become a piece of scrap iron.
Without the ability to use spells, they couldn't maintain their usual tidy appearance, and they were beaten back to their original form, becoming their true appearance.
Not all ghosts can be kept clean and tidy, many ghosts died in vain.And even if he looked tidy when he died, he might not be able to go to the underworld after death.The underworld is a place with relatively loose laws. Many bad ghosts who cannot be reincarnated just like to bully new ghosts.The new ghost didn't understand anything when he first came to the underworld, and suddenly a person who showed him kindness came, he would be easily fooled, and the end might become miserable.
Just like the water ghost just now, he wasn't drowned in the first place.When he just died, while waiting for the ghost messenger to take him away, he drifted around, feeling his life, reminiscing about the past, seeing his home, looking around again, drifting back to fishing when he was a child When I was by the river, I still recited a few sour poems out of emotion.In that river, he met a water ghost, and was tricked into the river by him as a stand-in.
The water ghost tricked the ghost messenger and stole his fate to be reincarnated, but he could only stay. If he wanted to be reincarnated, he had to find a substitute for himself.He was also a kind person when he was alive, and he couldn't pull innocent people into the water as a substitute for a substitute, and he didn't know what method the water ghost used before to deceive the ghost messenger and take him away as himself ...Of course, even if he knew the fate of letting him rob others, he would not do it.It just so happened that the underworld began to conduct some imperial examinations, and even he, a water ghost, could take part, which gave him hope.As long as he passed the exam, not only would he not have to stay in the river, but he could also become a yin official from now on.When I was alive, I was not admitted to Jinshi, but I didn't expect to have a chance to realize my dream after death.
There are also quite a few candidates who have the same idea as water ghosts. After all, ghosts without real talents can't make it to the present.Of course, although some people from the Yang world were invited to take the exam, there are still many more candidates from the underworld in the hall than the living people.In order to prevent the living people from being frightened by their shivering appearance, the bosses of the underworld deliberately tried to deceive them.In their eyes, the underworld candidate is a well-dressed person, and the face on the stage is the most ferocious, and the long ghosts are afraid of the Ten Temple Hades, and they become amiable officials wearing official uniforms. The contrast is not ordinary. .The main reason is that these living candidates will be frightened into dead ghosts if they see them.
Of course, blindfolding is just the treatment of living souls, even if candidates from the underworld want to protest, they dare not speak out.Xiaotiangou came to the hall openly, and the candidates from the underworld could only resist the pressure and act as if they didn't see it.
Among the group of weird-looking ghosts, those neatly dressed, rosy-faced living souls are really eye-catching.Xiaotiangou deliberately kept his eyes on them for a while longer, and when he saw Ji Zihe, he stretched his head to look at his paper.
But Ji Zihe couldn't see it, and couldn't hear its voice, so naturally he wasn't distracted by it.
Xiao Tiangou sniffed, thinking in his heart, if he licked him now and solved his tricks, would he scare him to death?
Think it out, it's one time.Xiaotiangou's restless tongue was about to move, but suddenly, someone on the stage interrupted it.
"Shoutiangou, don't be naughty."
Hearing Zhenjun Erlang's words, Xiaotiangou shrank his head, and turned to look at Zhenjun Erlang innocently, but met his unhappy eyes.Xiaotiangou retracted his tongue in an instant, and stopped looking at the examinees on the field, and ran towards the stage with four long legs, and lay down at Zhenjun Erlang's feet, wagging his tail fawningly.
Erlang Zhenjun calmed down, leaned down and rubbed its head, "You have worked hard this trip, why did you come back to play like that, did you encounter any trouble?"
trouble?Roaring Sky Dog thought of the Qinglong Soul who was beaten by him and couldn't get up, and the joy of venting his anger for the master before was suddenly swept away. He shook his head with some guilt, and said vaguely, "I didn't encounter any trouble, but I was delayed on the way. some time."
Erlang Zhenjun nodded, Xiao Tiangou is fond of playing, it is normal to delay some time on the road, it is not a big deal, "When you went to bring Ji Zihe's remnant soul, did you encounter Qinglong's obstruction?"
Xiaotiangou lowered his head guiltyly, he is a loyal dog, he really can't do such a thing as lying to his master.
Seeing the appearance of Xiaotiangou, Erlang Zhenjun still has something to understand, "Did I tell you, try not to fight with Qinglong?"
"I've confessed, but he stopped the errand and didn't let us take Ji Zihe away, so I had no choice but to do it," Xiaotiangou said.
Zhenjun Erlang looked at it for a long time, sighed, and patted the dog's head, "That's all."
"Master, won't you punish me?" Xiao Tianquan raised his head and asked.
"So far, what can I do if I punish you? I just hope that today's matter can be done. When Qinglong returns to the god position, I will come to apologize in person." Erlangshen looked at Ji Zihe, who was scribbling, with complicated eyes.
Xiaotiangou put his head on the ground guiltily, his face full of sorrow and pain.It's all to blame, and it caused trouble for the owner again.
Ji Zihe hurried, and finally finished writing the article, but it was still dark.I can't help but sigh that people's potential is really unlimited.
At the same time, a green dragon broke into the underworld, and lashed its tail towards the city of death in vain.The underworld shook, thousands of ghosts wailed, and Qinglong roared, "Is there anyone in charge, come out!"
