The hour of Mao at the beginning of spring has arrived, which also declares the beginning of the state examination.

A thousand scholars gathered in front of the government office, and above the head were the nine holy cauldrons surrounded by holy light. Below the holy cauldrons are two scrolls, one mountain and one water, one mountain and the other, and behind the mountain scrolls are hundreds of staircases.

These are the three levels currently displayed in front of all scholars and candidates. The landscape paintings were thrown out by Lu Qingran, a great painter in the temple supervision. The hundreds of stairs originated from the provincial governor Pang Shihua. There are a hundred stairs of stairs, which run straight from the ground to the air. The overall height is more than ten feet high and extraordinary momentum.

"Dear candidates, now there are a hundred stairs in front of you. What you are taking exams is your skill in posting sutras. Every time you climb a hundred stairs, a question about posting sutras will appear. Only after you get the correct answer can you continue to climb up."

Zhou Mu Pang Shihua pointed to the hundreds of 100-step stairs he had created and introduced the rules, "However, it is not necessary to climb up if you answer correctly. The number of people that each stairs can withstand is fixed. For example, the first stairs can withstand one hundred people, the second stairs can only with ninety-nine people, and the last stairs... It is conceivable that only one person can pass..."

As soon as this said, the scene suddenly became an uproar. It was not for anything else, because if Pang Shihua really said, it would be like only one person who could pass each hundred-stage staircase and successfully enter the world of painting. There were only one hundred hundred-stage staircases on the scene, which means that 900 people would be eliminated in this first level alone.

There are only one hundred scholar candidates in the first level to enter the world in the painting. The 10-to-1 elimination rate is tragic!

"We are now scholars. With the source of thought, we can continuously form holy bricks and holy power. There are even the word "sacred" auxiliary, and our memory is improved enough to read the sutras. It is difficult to test us again when posting sutras. However,... this time, the 100-level literary ladder still needs to be compared. Only by reaching the last level of literature as fast as possible can we enter the next level..."

"So, choice is too critical! I won't choose to join Su Lin, Zhao Yi, Zou Ziqi and others, there is no win or lose..."

"Yes! But everyone is smart, so naturally I know that with those geniuses, I will definitely not be able to beat them. In this way, the competition for other literary tiers will be even more intense..."

...

After the first level of the school examination rules of the Hundred-Da Little Ladder came out, scholarly candidates quickly thought about their strategies in the sea of ​​wisdom. Avoid looking for slim opportunities to qualify with powerful candidates.

"Pangzhou Mu, tsk... Your move to hundreds of stairs is really cruel! You eliminated 90% of the candidates in one breath. It seems that you are destined not to let too many candidates see my world in painting, right?"

When the great painter Lu Qingran saw these hundreds of stairs, he had to bow to the provincial governor Pang Shihua and said, "It is possible to shape hundreds of stairs in one breath. It seems that Pang Zhou Mu's thoughts are becoming increasingly profound!"

"It's Mr. Lu that he has been awarded too much. He can't achieve this level simply by relying on my holy power and thoughts. However, it can be achieved with the help of the state prefect seal in my hands. Reciting and posting scriptures is the foundation of talent and learning. Only by being knowledgeable and memorizing can you accumulate strength and make a fortune. Therefore, Mr. Lu, it should not be an exaggeration to use a hundred staircases to eliminate candidates!"

As Pang Shihua said, although he was at the peak of Hanlin Grand Secretary’s literary level, it was already very good to be able to create ten hundred-stage literary ladders in one breath. This hundred holy power literary ladders were able to achieve this with the help of the Jianzhou Prefecture Pastoral Seal.

"It's true! Every one of us Confucian scholars, whether we are a semi-saint or a child, is the beginning of our thoughts. They are all about reading and reading, reciting and pasting scriptures. Only by constantly accumulating and exploring the essence of our predecessors can we slowly form the ideological path of self-respecting. Only by opening our wisdom, opening up the sea of ​​wisdom, opening up the source of thought, creating the heart of Tao, building the foundation of Tao, and making the artifacts, embracing all rivers and building the artifacts..."

After a lot of emotion in one sentence, the great painter Lu Qingran sighed, his eyes dazed. He seemed to see how he slowly looked at the boundless world of thought from a Tongsheng, and went through countless difficulties and obstacles to reach today, becoming a great painter admired and famous in the nine countries.

However, this is far from enough. Lu Qingran knew that although he was now the literary position of the Hanlin Grand Secretary, his thoughts in the sea had reached the stage of "building tools with all rivers". However, he was still one step away from "making tools".

"To become a weapon" is a great Confucianism, but a great Confucianism is only the real beginning of the way of thinking. There are semi-saints and saints above the great Confucianism, all of which are unpredictable. It belongs to the state where the higher ones you admire and the stronger ones you look at but unattainable.

"Hey! Pangzhou Master, am I thinking back then, did we come step by step like these candidates? The way of thinking is to see the beginning, not know the end. The road is long and arduous, not know when we can embark on the holy path and follow the steps of the philosophers..."

The great painter Lu Qingran sighed a little sad. Zhou Mu Pang Shihua was an optimistic school. He waved his hand and said with a smile: "Why should Mr. Lu be so entangled? What should come will always come, and what should be there will be. Today is a good day for the beginning of spring. The beginning of all things is full of vitality. It is not something that you always use to hurt the spring and the autumn. Today is a day for these candidates to show their talents. Let's see who will eventually seize the Nine Cauldrons in the sky!"

"What the Muslim Pangzhou said is, I will wait and see. It can be announced that it will begin!"

Nodding, the great painter Lu Qingran tied his hands behind him, smiled slightly, and glanced at all the scholars present.

"good!"

After receiving Lu Qingran's promise, the provincial governor Pang Shihua shouted again and said to the candidates in the audience: "I believe you all understand the rules of the hundreds of staircases. So now, please choose the staircase you want to climb. After a quarter of an hour, listen to my order and officially start climbing!"

As soon as the Zhou Mu Pang Shihua finished speaking, the scholars on the scene became excited again. Although they had long expected this competition method, they were frowning when they really started to choose the Wendi.

Because everyone does not want to meet a strong opponent, and they all hope that the opponent who is on the same ladder with them is not strong. Therefore, after the provincial mu Pang Shihua finished speaking, the scholar candidates did not immediately start choosing the ladder they wanted to climb, but were waiting.

What are you waiting for?

Of course, I waited for Su Lin, Zhao Yi, Zou Ziqi and others to complete the choice first. Otherwise, I would have finally chosen Wendi, but when I met these fierce people, I might as well just announce the abstention.

"Haha! Su Lin, it seems that according to this rule, we can't compete on the same staircase."

Hong Liyu turned around and said to Su Lin, "Otherwise, one of us will definitely be eliminated."

"Of course. Li Yu, we will definitely enter the world in the painting together and then compete for the holy cauldron together." Su Lin nodded and smiled, then looked at the direction of Zou Ziqi, Zhao Yi and others from the semi-saint family, and said, "I'm afraid that those people will attack me in the first level of the state test..."

"No! Don't worry! Su Lin, I think they won't be that stupid either. They will definitely be different from the Wendi you chose in the first level of the state test." Hong Li Yu said.

"That's right, and I'm not afraid of letting them come over. This ladder of scripture is my strength!"

There is a "wordless heavenly book" in Su Lin Zhihai that covers all the classics between heaven and earth, which contains everything and is tolerant. In addition, his current literary status has improved, his thoughts and holy power have become deeper, his memory is almost unforgettable, and his answers to the scriptures are also within milliseconds.

"Okay, Su Lin, let's go and choose the Wendi! I believe that if we don't choose, I'm afraid those candidates will not dare to choose!"

After Hong Liyu finished speaking, he walked towards one of the uninhabited stairs. Su Lin also strode forward and stood in front of a stairs.

Similarly, Zhao Yi deliberately avoided Su Lin and Hong Liyu and chose a staircase himself. Ran Shichang and Ran Shigang also separated and each chose an independent staircase.

As for Zou Ziqi from the semi-saint family, he was fiddling with the Yin and Yang fans in his hand and slowly walked towards Su Lin.

"Look...you guys... Mr. Zou from the semi-saint family walked towards Su Lin! Could it be that he wanted to defeat Su Lin in the first level?"

"This is fun! There was no trouble in the first level of the exam, but... these two powerful figures who are almost certain to compete for the tripod. If they fight to the death in the first level, it would be wonderful!"

"That's great! If this is true, whether Su Lin is eliminated or Zou Ziqi is eliminated, for us, it would be like an extra place for the Holy Cauldron!"

...

When the candidates saw Zou Ziqi walking towards Su Lin, they all looked sideways, stopped their steps, held their breath, and were waiting to see if Zou Ziqi chose to walk the same ladder with Su Lin?

At the government office, the prefect Pang Shihua frowned and said softly to the great painter Lu Qingran beside him: "Old Lu, Zou Ziqi is here for Su Lin's reputation this time. His purpose is not to compete for the tripod to become a juren, but to defeat Su Lin. But if you choose to take action in the first level, will you... be too impatient..."

"Haha! Pangzhou Mu, who asked you to get a hundred-staircase knockout round? But... I don't think Zou Ziqi will do this, and he doesn't bother to do this. The most likely thing is that he will compete with Su Lin in the end."

Lu Qingran shook his head, touched his gray beard, and said with a smile.

One step, two steps, three steps...

Zou Ziqi smiled slightly, walked towards Su Lin, and soon stood in front of Su Lin.
Chapter completed!
