The young student who was guarding the stairs saw Deacon Yan Qi approaching and reported: "Report to Deacon Yan Qi, this student wants to go up to the second floor, but he does not have the conditions for the time being."

Yan Qi heard this and looked at Xiao Xiaoqi as he walked over. When he saw Xiao Xiaoqi clearly, he frowned and said, "It's you again?"

Xiao Xiaoqi grinned and chuckled, "Hello, Deacon Yan Qi."

Yan Qi didn't have a good look towards Xiao Xiaoqi. Knowing that Xiao Xiaoqi was planning to go to the second floor, Yan Qi even put on a bad face and heard him say: "Young man, I just told you that scholars shouldn't be too ambitious.

Today is the first time you come here and you want to go to the second floor. How can you read in such a state of mind?"

Xiao Xiaoqi knew that Yan Qi had misunderstood, so he explained: "I went to the second floor to find someone, and I didn't mean to be too ambitious. However, what Yan Qi said was not rigorous. Can't I go to the second floor for the first time?"

"

Yan Qi curled his lips slightly at this time, "What a joke, you haven't read any of the books on this floor, how can you find the confidence to study the books on the second floor and above?"

Xiao Xiaoqi thought for a while, and then said: "If the literary test hadn't ended, I would have really wanted to give it a try to see if it was really that difficult."

Hearing what Xiao Xiaoqi said, Yan Qi couldn't help but sneered again, "You still want to pass the literary test?"

"Is it difficult?" Xiao Xiaoqi asked.

"It's not that difficult..." Yan Qi said indifferently, "It mainly tests memory ability and a little thinking ability. However, although it is not difficult, in the history of our Shengzai Academy, the fastest is also

It takes three days of studying to pass the literary test. It’s not like there are people like you who have to take the literary test right away, but no one has ever succeeded.”

"Oh?" Xiao Xiaoqi was full of interest, "Then I would like to try it tomorrow. It doesn't matter whether I succeed or not. The main thing is to see how the essay test is."

After Xiao Xiaoqi finished speaking, he nodded slightly towards Yan Qi, and then walked away. He couldn't force it now, and the literary test had to wait until tomorrow, so he could only wait for Mr. Qi here, but he didn't know when Mr. Qi would come down.

But after Yan Qi heard Xiao Xiaoqi's words, he frowned and murmured: "A child cannot be taught..."

Just as Xiao Xiaoqi passed by Yan Qi, Yan Qi spoke, "There's no need to wait until tomorrow. I'll give you the essay test questions now so that you can quit before you get into trouble and avoid being embarrassed tomorrow!"

Xiao Xiaoqi was overjoyed when he heard this. He turned around and asked Yan Qi: "Then if I pass, can I go to the second floor?"

Yan Qi curled his lips slightly and said half-jokingly: "If you can answer them all correctly, you can go up."

"Okay, then it's settled!" Xiao Xiaoqi accepted happily.

However, Yan Qi then said: "But if you get less than half of the answers correct, you will not be allowed to take the literary test again within half a year, and you will have to study for me. Do you dare?"

Xiao Xiaoqi thought for a moment and asked again: "Just now you said you would test your memory, so what books are involved? Does it include all the books on this floor?"

If the scope of the test was all the books on the first floor, Xiao Xiaoqi would have no choice but to give up. After all, he really hadn't read these books yet.

Yan Qi shook his head at this time, "A smart scholar will make a choice that suits him. It's natural to read a lot of books, but you can't read everything, so the questions on memory are not out of the ordinary, mainly including

The history of the academy, "On the Sages", "Poetry"..."

Yan Qi mentioned the names of several books in a row, but Xiao Xiaoqi was elated after hearing this, because he had read all the books Yan Qi mentioned in Zhenghao Palace, and he remembered every word and sentence clearly.

.

It seems that most of the so-called literary tests are actually some required reading books, and the books in Liuqing Bookstore are used as an expansion.

Yan Qi then said: "If you haven't read these books, I advise you to give up."

Xiao Xiaoqi smiled and said: "I'm ready, let's get started!"

Yan Qi originally thought that Xiao Xiaoqi should give up because he just mentioned a lot of book titles, but now that he saw Xiao Xiaoqi's confident look, he found it a little difficult to understand.

Logically speaking, those who came here for the first time today are all freshmen. How could they really have read the books he mentioned?

Therefore, Yan Qi still did not believe that Xiao Xiaoqi could complete the literary test, so he returned to his cold face and only said: "A gentleman's words are hard to follow, and I hope you will not regret it."

Next to two

When the young students heard that Xiao Xiaoqi agreed without hesitation, they couldn't help but laugh. They thought that when they were freshmen, it would have taken them more than half a year to dare to challenge the literary test. They didn't expect that the freshmen now would be so brave.

!

It is a good thing to have confidence, but I am afraid that being too confident may lead to self-disgrace.

Yan Qi didn't delay any longer, and quickly took out a piece of paper from a nearby cabinet and handed it to Xiao Xiaoqi, and said: "This is today's essay question, you still have time to regret it now."

Xiao Xiaoqi took a look at the paper and found that there were ten questions in total. The first nine questions basically gave some hints, and then asked the answerer to answer the corresponding words or remarks. The last question was a little more troublesome, and it was about "Blue".

Understanding of "Hu Sheng Shuo"!

It stands to reason that Xiao Xiaoqi has not read "The Legend of the Blue Bird". Before, he would not have been able to read it, let alone understand it.

But the strange thing is that after Xiao Xiaoqi saw the last paragraph of "The Legend of the Blue Bird" on the scroll, he felt enlightened and understood it naturally.

The description of a sacred saying on the scroll paper probably means: Those who are blessed by nature will make up for the shortcomings of heaven, and those who are all living things will inherit the strength of heaven. Therefore, there are ordinary saints, and there are gods who have abandoned them. They sigh at the injustice, and it is difficult to get rid of...

...

What the "Blue Bird Sage" describes should be a general trend of heaven and earth. Just reading this paragraph, Xiao Xiaoqi has some insights. He just doesn't know what the whole sage is like, but there should be opportunities to contact him in the future.

.

As for why he could understand "Sage Lan Hu", Xiao Xiaoqi guessed that it was the function of the sacred text. After all, the holy text in his mind was also written by Sage Lan Hu.

"How is it? Do you regret it?" Yan Qi saw that Xiao Xiaoqi was in a daze, so he thought that Xiao Xiaoqi was stumped.

"No need to regret, can we start?" Xiao Xiaoqi actually only took a few breaths to finish reading the paper, and he was already eager to give it a try.

When Yan Qi saw that Xiao Xiaoqi only read the paper quickly and didn't even know whether he had finished reading a single question, he became even more certain that Xiao Xiaoqi was just a fool who could only pretend.

So Yan Qi added: "According to the original rules, students need to complete the answer within two-quarters of an hour, but since this is your first time and you are still a freshman, let alone two-quarters of an hour, I will give you half an hour.

, if you can answer all the questions correctly after half an hour, I will make an exception and grant you access to the second floor, and you can go to the second floor at will from now on!"

"Half an hour?"

"What? Too little?" Yan Qi sneered, "Then I'll give you half an hour more!"

Xiao Xiaoqi smiled at this time: "No, I mean it doesn't take that long, just give me half a quarter of an hour!"

"Half an hour?" Yan Qi frowned, and then said, "I can warn you, the literary test also has the rules of the literary test, that is, you are not allowed to cheat, let alone seek help from others, otherwise you will be deprived of the qualification for the literary test for one year. Situation

Severe cases may lead to lifelong deprivation!”

"Don't worry, I won't cheat. I rely on myself, just for half a quarter of an hour!" Xiao Xiaoqi said.

Yan Qi seemed to be competing with Xiao Xiaoqi, "Okay, then I want to see how you completed the literary test in half a quarter of an hour. Let's start now!"

He originally planned to just ask other deans to help watch, and then he would go about his own business, but now that Xiao Xiaoqi was so angry, he wanted to see how Xiao Xiaoqi got into trouble.

Xiao Xiaoqi then asked again: "Do you have a pen?"

Yan Qi suddenly showed disdain in his eyes, "As a scholar, I don't have the habit of carrying paper and pen with me. It's really sad..."

Xiao Xiaoqi said: "I do have a pen, but my pen is special. I'm afraid of scaring you."

"You don't have to talk nonsense. What kind of pen have I not seen before? Just take it out and write." Yan Qi said with a smile.

Xiao Xiaoqi does have his own pen, but it is a talisman pen, which is a pen usually used to draw talisman seals. If it is used for writing, it would be overkill, and the written words may have some talisman effect.

But since Yan Qidu said so, Xiao Xiaoqi had nothing to be pretentious about. He dug into the magic bag and took out the talisman pen.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Xiaoqi found a table nearby and began to answer the questions in the literary test.

Yan Qi was naturally watching from the side. Originally, he just looked at Xiao Xiaoqi casually as he answered, but when he saw Xiao Xiaoqi swiping his pen, he couldn't help but take a closer look.

Although this boy is a bit arrogant, his writing style is good, Yan Qi thought to himself, and then he held it optimistically

The idea of ​​​​the play is to take a closer look...

At this sight, Yan Qi couldn't move his eyes away. He suddenly realized that Xiao Xiaoqi not only had a good writing style, but his handwriting was even more eye-catching!

Natural and majestic! This was the first thought that came to Yan Qi's mind. He was suddenly surprised. Just by looking at such fonts, he can be regarded as a master of calligraphy!

At this time, Xiao Xiaoqi was seen flexibly waving his talisman pen on the roll of paper without any pause, as if everything was so natural.

Xiao Xiaoqi was also very eclectic, and his writing speed was sometimes fast and sometimes slow, as if he was matching the artistic conception of each word. Regardless of whether his answer was right or wrong, these words alone were enough to overwhelm most of the students.

Unknowingly, Yan Qi's attention couldn't help but sink into Xiao Xiaoqi's strokes, as if he was admiring a rare treasure, forgetting for a moment his contempt for Xiao Xiaoqi at the beginning.

Two young students on the side saw that Yan Qi was engrossed in what he was looking at. Their attention was attracted and they looked at Xiao Xiaoqi's scroll. Then they actually immersed themselves in it, carefully savoring every word written by Xiao Xiaoqi.

.

In the end, Xiao Xiaoqi had finished answering all the questions in less than half a quarter of an hour.

"It's done, Deacon Yan Qi, please take a look at it!" Xiao Xiaoqi handed the roll of paper to Yan Qi on the spot.

Only then did Yan Qi come to his senses. He glanced at Xiao Xiaoqi in surprise, "Is this the end of your answer?"

His expression was a little dazed, as if he was still immersed in Xiao Xiaoqi's artistic conception just now, and then he carefully took the roll of paper handed over by Xiao Xiaoqi.

Immediately afterwards, he spread out the roll of paper again and started reviewing it carefully...

After reading one side of the scroll, Yan Qi could no longer remain calm, as if he had encountered something incredible.

"How long did it take him just now?" Yan Qi asked the two youth students next to him.

Because he was so fascinated by what he was watching just now that he forgot the time for a moment.

A youth student hesitated and said: "It seems...it seems that it hasn't been...half a quarter of an hour?"

Yan Qi was startled again and muttered: "It's incredible!"

Xiao Xiaoqi looked a little nervous at this time and asked: "Deacon Yan Qi, how are you? Did I answer it correctly?"
