Knowing that Ye Hongye had advanced, Su Lin immediately came outside his wing room. Waiting for the sacred power and thought fluctuations inside to gradually calm down, then went forward and knocked on the door and entered.

"Congratulations to Ye Jinshi for finally entering the realm of a Grand Secretary. From then on, he will be a Confucian scholar who is truly independent and has his own Tao!" Su Lin bowed and congratulated him.

"Haha...Su Lin, this is also thanks to the heart stone you gave me. If it weren't for helping me enter the illusion of responsiveness and asking, I'm afraid it would take at least several years to accumulate my own Taoist foundation!"

Ye Hongye's momentum has become completely restrained, but Su Lin can feel that Ye Hongye's understanding of thoughts and self-cultivation is now very firm, and it is almost impossible to be shaken by others.

The child opened the sea of ​​wisdom and officially began to practice thoughts. The scholar opened up the source of thought and was able to continuously accumulate thoughts and holy power. He began to have a path to persist in the Tao. He was able to lay the foundation of Tao and had a deep understanding of the enlightenment of Tao. Until the Grand Secretary asked the Tao with a stern heart, he completely solidified the foundation of Tao and no longer changed his own Tao. Then he attacked the Hanlin Grand Secretary and began to condense his own tools in the sea of ​​wisdom.

This is the characteristic of Confucian scholars at every level and a process that every Confucian scholar must go through. Since Confucius founded the Ten-Wen Tale, this has been the most extensive way of practicing thoughts in the Tianren Continent.

"The heart stone is just a help from external objects. The real breakthrough is because of Ye Jinshi's own ideological progress!"

Su Lin was also very happy that Ye Hongye was able to break through to the Grand Secretary, because Ye Hongye is now his disciple. Su Lin, who is a scholar and literary position, is already very good to have a Jinshi disciple. Not to mention that Ye Hongye has broken through to the Grand Secretary now. For Su Lin, he is a greater help.

"Well! Su Lin, the Heart Stone can not only help the Jinshi to ask responsibly. The state examination you applied for will begin in almost a month. The scholars registered in each prefecture and county will be convened by the colleges to enter the state college one month in advance for qualification assessment and trial. If you have the Heart Stone in your hand, it will also be very helpful for determining the Taoist heart during your state examination."

Ye Hongye nodded and warned Su Lin again, "But I heard that the head of Jiancheng Prefecture Court is Ji Shan, the favorite student of Zhao Daru, the Zhao family. You offended the Zhao family before. I'm afraid that going to the prefecture Court this time will have many obstacles!"

"I have known this for a long time. Not only is the head of the state college Ji Shan from the Zhao family lineage. The second uncle has been angry with me these days. The Zhao family knows that I am going to participate in this state exam. They have arranged several scholars with extraordinary qualifications to attack me hard during the state exam."

The past month seems dull, but Su Lin learned through various channels that his appearance not only caused an undercurrent of forces within the Wu Kingdom, but also many forces in other countries paid attention to him.

However, because he is just a scholar now, his literary position is low. It is not enough to let those really powerful bigwigs behind the scenes take action. It is just that the talent he showed is too outrageous and has entered the attention of various aristocratic families.

It can be said that in Jian'an Mansion, there are many spies sent by other countries to pay attention. Especially the spies from Yue State are mostly concerned, and Su Lin even arrested the dead soldiers who came to assassinate in his mansion many times.

"Su Lin, as a Confucian scholar, as long as you keep your original thoughts and not be shaken by failure and others' heart-stricken words, they will have no way to do it. Moreover, with your talent and thoughts, as long as you are more cautious, you will not be able to take advantage of them when you are in the state to try the "fight for the tripod" and you will definitely be able to obtain one of the nine Juren's personal positions."

As a veteran, Ye Hongye told Su Lin in detail what to pay attention to in the prefecture examination. The county and prefecture examinations were all twenty advanced places, but the prefecture examinations were sharply reduced to nine places. Therefore, the Juren’s literary position can be called "Journal Master" in various countries because it is already one of the thousands of talents to be selected for the Juren’s literary position.

"The state examination requires competition for the tripod, the sacred artifacts and the nine tripods, so there are only nine quotas for the juren. However, hundreds of scholars from various prefectures and counties are competing for, and it is indeed becoming increasingly difficult. Moreover, many scholars have accumulated for several years or even ten years, and are deeper than my holy power and ideological background. I am afraid that in the illusion space of the Nine Tripods, it is difficult for me to be their opponent..."

The battle for the tripod, the county, and the government test are completely different situations. The Nine Tripods of the Holy Artifact will transform into nine illusion spaces of holy power. The scholarly candidates randomly enter these different scenes and ideological and moral illusions spaces, accept various illusions tests, and apply their respective thoughts, poems and ink meanings to break through various difficulties. In the end, the person who stays in each illusion space can be qualified to be an advanced juren.

"Posting scriptures is a rigid fill-in-the-blank Script, poetry and essays are a test of the talent of writing poetry and lyrics, and ink meaning is a question and answer for debate. However, the strategies and questions in the state test are a comprehensive test of thoughts and knowledge. The sacred artifacts Nine Cauldrons transform into real virtual scenes. Only when candidates can apply their thoughts and knowledge to practical problems can they be qualified to compete for the Nine Cauldrons..."

After understanding the specific form of the state test, Su Lin felt respect for the sub-saint Mencius who created the imperial examination. The seemingly dogmatic imperial examination system is actually a rule to select and guide the application of Confucian scholars. From rote memorization to learning and applying it, most people will inevitably be eliminated.

But this is also survival of the fittest. Compared with the bloody survival rules of the demon race and barbarian race, the imperial examination system is more humane.

"Sulin, this state exam candidate is not allowed to bring guests. So I'm sorry I can't walk with you. But don't worry, as long as the Zhao family, the Ran family and others dare to make any conspiracy in secret, we will report to the temple, and the temple of the Holy Punishment Department will enforce the law to deal with them!"

Ye Hongye said regretfully, "However, the construction of the city is not just the Zhao family. Now that Mr. Su is promoted to a semi-saint, the Su family's strength has increased greatly and has surpassed the eight major Confucian families. I believe that the Su family will also send people to protect you in secret, so you can rest assured about safety."

"Well! I have only found out in the past few days that my second uncle has been secretly helping me solve some problems. Then let's clean up quickly. Tomorrow, the Palace Court will call on the state examination to set off for the city."

Su Lin said goodbye to Ye Hongye and returned to his study. Her cute sister Su Ru was looking at the pinyin letters hanging on the wall of Su Lin.

"Brother... you have written all these twenty-three initials and twenty-four finals. But why can't you mark every word? Ru'er has followed Mr. Hua these days, but she has almost recognized all the words!"

Seeing Su Lin come in, Su Ru laughed and said.

"Ru'er, brother didn't expect that. He used to be just to invent the pinyin to make it easier for you to recognize words, but now you have already recognized all the characters, but brother's pinyin has not been perfected yet."

Su Lin did not expect that in the Tianren Continent, there would be such great difficulties in creating a pinyin that he thought was extremely simple. Therefore, the matter of pinyin can only be temporarily stranded. However, Su Lin was not completely unrealized. The pinyin holy character in Zhihai gave Su Lin the ability to combine it into any holy character. Of course, the premise must be that he deeply understood the thought represented by the holy character.

Su Ru is the second person in Tianren Continent to come into contact with and understand Pinyin, besides Su Lin, and her understanding of Pinyin is very profound. Su Ru even has a unique idea and wants to change the pinyin form to record the piano score. She is currently studying with Mr. Hua Wuyue.

"By the way, Ru'er, my brother will go to Jiancheng to take the pre-examination trial tomorrow, and it will probably take at least more than a month to come back. You can learn literacy and learn piano skills with Mr. Hua at home, and wait for my brother to come back!"

Su Lin explained to Su Ru, but Su Ru came forward and blinked her cute big eyes, hugged Su Lin's arm, and said pitifully, "Brother, Ru'er wants to go with you too! Ru'er doesn't want to be separated from her brother..."

"Be good! This pre-state examination is conducted in the state courtyard. Even if you follow your brother to Jiancheng, you will not be able to enter the state courtyard. Study at home with peace of mind. Wait for your brother to come back, but you have to listen to your piano!"

After comforting his sister Su Ru, Su Lin went to another attic to look for Hong Liyu. Over the past few days, Hong Liyu has helped him so much. Su Lin was also surprised by Hong Liyu's knowledge and talent, and thought that he is worthy of being a genius who enlightens wisdom with the words of the sub-saint Mencius. If he did not have the help of the wordless heavenly book, he would definitely be inferior to Hong Liyu.

"Su Lin, how about it? Have you packed up your things? Go to Jiancheng Prefecture Courtyard tomorrow, and there may be another fierce battle!"

Standing alone in the attic near the lake, Hong Liyu knew that Su Lin was coming when he heard the footsteps. He waved a folding fan in his hand, turned around and smiled slightly, and said to Su Lin.

"The general comes to block the water and soil. Those who should come will always come. Why should we worry too much? Moreover, I am not unprepared now. I can also guess the tricks that the Zhao family and the Ran family want to play." Su Lin smiled and went forward.

"The soldiers come and the generals come and block the water and the soil? Su Lin, you still have such witty words. This sentence is the most suitable for you. However, you are in your current state. Judging from the sharpness you show, those people will never miss any chance to defeat you. The calmness now only means that they are accumulating strength. When they think that the time is sufficient, they will suddenly rush out like a wild wolf hiding in the grass and bit your throat directly..."
