Chapter 71 Exam
The girl whispered in his ear: "My benefactor, don't worry... I only need to do an exam later. As long as I can pass, I will naturally have great blessings for you..."
Only a slight smile was heard. Zhou Shize subconsciously looked back, but found that the girl who led him had disappeared. In such a short time, there were a few more men who were brought over behind him. The way he came was covered by thick smoke and could no longer see clearly.
I don't know if it was the smoke factor, but his mood was not at all impatient or uneasy, but stared at the surroundings in a daze, still moving.
In the dark, many demons and monsters were staring at the human souls in the temple with their eyes open, suppressing a little greed.
These were originally quite good delicacies for monsters, but now no one dared to act rashly, because these "scholars" were what the leaders wanted.
There are more and more people in the temple. After all, monsters don’t recognize any fame and fortune. As long as they look like a cultural person, they catch them and don’t care about them at all.
After a while, a silver full moon climbed above my head, I saw a white-haired old man slowly walking out from behind the temple with a cane.
He looked up at the scholars in front of him, nodded slightly satisfied, and said, "Since you have all come, let's start today's exam. I hope you can do your best and show your talents. Don't be reserved and afraid."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the thick fog around him rolling violently and then quickly dissipated. At the same time, a soft light began to permeate his body, allowing everyone to see everything in front of him.
The scene at this moment has changed, turning into a wide field, with a small table in front of each person, with pen, ink, paper and inkstone and the test questions on this time.
None of the people present found it surprised and weird. Instead, they took it for granted and sat cross-legged and started answering questions.
Zhou Shize vaguely felt something was wrong, but he couldn't say it. Seeing that everyone around him had sat down, he was the only one standing alone, and he couldn't help but suddenly, he sat down and his eyes fell on the test questions.
The test was not something strange, but the normal imperial examination questions, and the difficulty was moderate.
After all, he was once the top scorer above ten thousand people, and even later participated in the question setting. Naturally, he was able to get the best of these questions. However, he did not rush to do the questions, but looked around thoughtfully.
In the distance, there was a rich green mist like a barrier, which tightly enveloped the square. At a rough look, there were hundreds of people sitting in the table. What was strange was that he saw half-aged children and elderly people, who felt a little out of place with the exam room.
Of course, there are several familiar but not seen for a long time, which makes him even more convinced that he is just having a bizarre dream.
"I'm afraid I think about it every day and night..." He laughed at himself, instead of thinking too much, but focused on the question and began to think about the way to solve the problem.
He has always liked to study and learn, which will bring him a sense of accomplishment. However, after becoming an official, he was busy with trivial matters every day, which made him lose his only fun.
He is quite happy to be able to regain this fun in his dreams.
From time to time, black shadows flashed over the head, which were inspectors patrolling. Although the monsters made trouble and made it impossible for these human races to wake up completely and would only follow their inner guidance, they were also worried that some guys who liked to steal would cheat, and they still needed some thought.
He did the questions very quickly, and he had already completed the last question when he was nearly half the time before the prescribed time.
But when he looked at the topic, he felt a little strange.
"Do you think humans can live in peace with the monsters?"
This question is completely different from the previous ones, very vernacular and very straightforward, and it is more like the paper-producer adding such a seemingly inconspicuous small problem at the end out of selfishness.
But this question is a bit strange.
As we all know, demons choose people and eat them, and are cunning and cunning. Of course, everyone can kill them. How can the two live in peace?!
Zhou Shize originally wanted to follow the guidance of his heart and write the word "no". However, when he was about to finish writing, he subconsciously recalled the little fox he saved at that time and the matter of delivering food to his home. When he moved his heart, his pen tip slightly turned, he subconsciously wrote two words "may".
...
"My husband...My husband..."
The call of my wife rang in my ears.
Zhou Shize suddenly woke up, but as soon as he raised his head, he felt a soreness in his neck and even his whole body, as if he had experienced some long journey.
At this time, he realized that it was already bright. He fell asleep on the table last night, and the one who was pillowing was the file.
"My husband, don't be too tired. Take good care of yourself. How can these things be more important than your own?" The wife stroked the red marks on the side of his cheek with some distress and reminded her.
"My wife, I understand."
Zhou Shize held her palm in the back hand, nodded and smiled, "It's just that for some reason last night, I suddenly got too sleepy..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered the strange dream last night and couldn't help but feel shocked!
The green mist, the various strange monsters, and the strange exams, are so shocking when you suddenly think back on them!
Even though I knew it was just a dream, I was still full of fear in my heart. The terrifying monsters seemed to be right in front of me, and I could easily swallow him alive with just one mouth.
But I was not afraid at all when I was in my dream, and I was so calm and composed.
By the way, there is also that fox!
"My husband, what's wrong?" the wife asked in confusion when she noticed his stiffness.
"Nothing..." He shook his head, but his eyes were a little strange. "It's just that I had a nightmare last night. I dreamed that the little fox we saved turned into a fairy, saying that he wanted to repay his kindness..."
There is nothing to hide in this strange dream, he just used it as a story of ambition to relieve her.
But I didn't expect that my wife's attention was completely different from that of him after listening to it.
"Can my husband be like those literati scholars, I hope that a vixen will turn into a beauty to repay his kindness?" She looked at him curiously.
Zhou Shize shook his head quickly: "How could that be? I am completely devoted to you and never look at other women in front of you."
He almost swears to the sky.
"No... my husband, I'm serious." But my wife stared at him and said seriously word by word, "My body cannot leave blood for the Zhou family. If my husband is willing to marry me, it is already a great blessing. But the problem of offspring must be solved after all, otherwise how can I and you go down to meet the ancestors of the Zhou family?"
In fact, she had already mentioned the matter of taking a concubine a long time ago, but Zhou Shize was still unwilling to do so.
He was satisfied with having her and was not willing to get involved in other women.
