In the center of the examination center, on top of a tall building.
The view here is wide, and when you look down, you can see the entire examination room.
A middle-aged man dressed as a civil servant with a bird patch embroidered on his chest laughed: "There are 3,112 candidates today, nearly 30% more than in previous years. This shows the prosperity of our county's literary style. .”
He is the governor of this county. During this examination, the civil and military officials on both sides saw that the chief officer was in a good mood, and they all joined in and praised him.
There was only one Taoist, wearing a feather fan and silk scarf, looking at the examination room from a distance, seeming a little uneasy.
"Taoist Fei Xiong, what happened?"
When the county guard saw this, he couldn't help but be shocked: "But there is something wrong with the spiritual formation on the pupil beast?"
This pupil beast is a weapon to prevent fraud, but it is not indestructible.
"No!"
Taoist Fei Xiong returned to his position. In front of him, there was a small formation disk, on which several small stone statues of bright-eyed beasts came to life, with their eyes glowing red.
"The magic circle is operating normally. Thirty-two candidates have been identified. Please rest assured, no one will slip through the net!"
Taoist Fei Xiong promised firmly.
"That's good!"
The Sheriff sighed, but he didn't notice the surprise at the bottom of Taoist Fei Xiong's eyes.
"It's strange. Just now, the formation in the eyes of the pupil beast was stagnant. It must have been interfered by the master secretly. I just inspected the whole place and found no trace... only one person was slightly suspicious."
Taoist Fei Xiong touched his beard, and his thoughts began to spin rapidly: "It seems that there are experts among the students taking the exam this year!"
He was making magic tricks with his hands, and the red light in his left eye flashed, no different from the pupil beast.
In front of me, scenes of light and shadow emerged, finally settling on a student before entering the school.
The student's face was pale and his steps were sloppy. Who else could he be if he wasn't Xiao Mu
…
Within the examination room.
The surroundings are separated by wooden walls, and there is only a wooden table in the middle. It is so cramped that it is difficult to even turn around.
Old God Fang Yuan was sitting on the ground, laughing secretly in his heart: "If you dare to trouble me, I'll find you something to do first!"
The detection spirit array in the eyes of the pupil beast naturally could not detect him, and was covered by him, directly treating him as an ordinary person.
But Xiao Mu is not so lucky.
Although he didn't know what method he used to conceal his own spiritual fluctuations, Fang Yuan secretly used manipulation and leaked it.
Presumably at this time, the other party's account supervisor has been closely monitored, right
With the joy of a successful prank, Fang Yuan spread out the test paper and read every line.
This examination only takes one day to select officials, but the amount of examination is quite large.
The first is a whole list of scripture questions.
This is actually filling in the blanks, but it is not a Confucian classic, but astronomy, geography, and people's livelihood.
This not only tests students' accumulation, but also writing, carefulness, etc.
After all, the answer sheet must not be dirty or altered, and the requirements for candidates are still very high.
After the simplest scriptures and meanings, there is another chapter full of arithmetic. The first thing to do is to use officials, and the first thing is to explain the arithmetic. There are eight volumes of "Arithmetic". The so-called "chicken and rabbit in the same cage" is just an introductory category.
In this test paper, there are requirements such as square root and cube root everywhere, as well as solid geometry, etc., which makes Fang Yuan almost feel like he has returned to his previous life.
Fortunately, Yang Fan has a foundation in the classics and meanings, so I can answer them as much as I can.
As for arithmetic problems, his own divine energy and calculation ability are also extraordinary. Coupled with his mathematical foundation in his previous life, he still kills gods when he stands in the way of gods, and kills Buddha when he stands in the way of Buddha.
The calculation is clear, and after confirming it is correct, write it down one by one.
Originally, calligraphy was not Fang Yuan's strong point, but now his control was very subtle, and every stroke, not to mention iron, painting or silver hook, was still clear and pleasing to the eye at first glance.
How could Fang Yuan, who was well versed in examination methods, not know the importance of the paper
At this time, I don’t ask for calligraphy to be dazzling, but I just want it to be simple, neat and clear at a glance.
Before I knew it, half a day passed and it was noon.
He didn't need to raise his head, the rustling in his ears told him a lot of news.
"Most students are still calculating clearly, and some have not even finished filling in the meaning of the scriptures?"
Fang Yuan shook his head, stopped writing, took a rest, and drank two sips of water.
"This exam is clearly calculated, and it actually tests physical strength. How can those who are not physically strong enough to survive? I'm afraid they will vomit blood from exhaustion!"
While he was silently thinking, there was a commotion in a dormitory to the east, and two soldiers came out carrying a scholar, his clothes stained with blood.
The students on both sides looked at it and were immediately awe-inspiring.
Fang Yuan was indifferent and spread out the last test paper.
This is a policy theory as well as an actual case. Citing a certain case and asking for references and references to make a judgment is highly subjective and contains hidden traps.
If a student only knows how to study, he will probably be taken into a ditch immediately.
Fang Yuan, however, had no time to think and just started writing.
No matter how ignorant he is of practical matters, he has still been the head of a house, so he certainly has the ability to make decisions.
It's just that we need to be careful at this time and don't introduce legislation that doesn't exist in the country.
It's all done now, and there are still two hours left before the exam ends.
Of course, Fang Yuan didn't wait. He called the invigilator, verified the submitted papers, and immediately went to the side hall to drink tea. After a certain number of candidates were gathered, he was escorted out by soldiers.
"If there are no special circumstances this time, we will definitely win!"
As soon as he left the examination room, Fang Yuan felt confident.
"When the time comes, we should know something about Yang Fan's wishes..."
"Brother Yang!"
Next to him, a pale examinee shouted in surprise and came to Fang Yuan: "I didn't expect that Brother Yang also finished the exam. How about letting me do the hosting and have a drink together?"
"Great kindness!"
Looking at the maggot-like Xiao Mu, Fang Yuan nodded with a smile, and the target glanced at his neck inadvertently.
"Even if you have the mark of the Dream Master, if you are sent to your door like this, is this seeking death? Or is it seeking death?"
Xiao Mu obviously didn't notice anything unusual.
Even if he was specifically targeted in the examination room, he thought it was because he accidentally leaked it. At this time, he only wanted Yang Fan to fill the cylinder for him, so he immediately used his energy to serve his biological father and dragged Fang Yuan to a hotel, facing each other. Sit down and drink together.
"I wonder where Brother Xiao is from? There is also a Xiao family in this county, isn't it?"
Fang Yuan was holding the wine glass, his face seemed a little flushed.
"To be honest, Brother Yang, I am indeed a member of the Xiao family, but my ancestors were commoners, and I am just an ordinary member of the clan at this time..."
When talking about this, Xiao Mu couldn't help but feel very sad and even vaguely resentful.
"Come on, this wine is very good, you must drink a few more glasses!"
The gloom in his eyes flashed away, and he immediately urged him to drink. Fang Yuan remained calm and drank a lot. In the end, he seemed drunk and naive, and was sent back to the inn.
"Come on...Brother Xiao, let's drink again!"
Fang Yuan was lying on the bed, his mouth full of alcohol. After muttering a few words, he seemed to fall asleep in a drowsy manner.
"Great opportunity!"
Xiao Mu's expression changed, and he didn't look as drunk as before.
He looked at Fang Yuan, the muscles on his face almost twisted, and suddenly pulled down his collar, and the spiritual patterns on his neck gathered together, forming the appearance of a cyan ghost head.
"Did you see that? This is the person who shocked you!"
There was temptation in his voice, as if he was talking to Guitou: "Go find him! Stop pestering me! Go quickly!"
Along with the sound of words, the tattoo on his neck was also flowing with brilliance, and the ghost head seemed to come to life. Jie Jie's strange smile began to spread, but did not transfer.
"Good baby, go quickly... look for him, not me!"
Xiao Mu looked crazy and put a hand on Fang Yuan's body. The tattoos spread to his elbows, but they stopped going down.
"Go quickly... go... why? Why do you have to pester me?"
After urging again and again, Xiao Mu's mood collapsed and he cried: "Get out of here! I've found the scapegoat, don't pester me again!"
"Jie Jie!"
In the room, the ghostly laughter became more and more obvious, even more gibbering.
Although it was as low as the buzzing of mosquitoes, Xiao Mu understood the meaning immediately: "Now... can't? It must go through three nights of... pollution? If you get close... you can't leave?"
Snapped!
He gave a high-five: "Okay, I get it!"
He looked at Fang Yuan with a somewhat unbearable expression, and finally turned into a cold expression: "Brother Yang, don't blame me! If you want to blame me, just blame us for being the same kind of people and being entangled by this ghost again!"
Xiao Mu made up his mind and hurried downstairs, probably to carry his luggage and book a room with the shopkeeper.
On the bed, Fang Yuan, who was already drunk, suddenly opened his eyes: "This mark... doesn't seem that simple..."
He deliberately showed weakness and finally made Xiao Mu let down his guard and start doing harm, exposing his trump card.
But that kind of dream master's mark was really rare, like a living thing, which made Fang Yuan confused.
"Judging from Xiao Mu's attitude, it's obvious that he was tricked by that mark, but it's not like an ordinary dream master looking for a slave. Could it be..."
Fang Yuan's eyes lit up.
…
A few hours later.
He pretended to get up and go downstairs, and immediately saw Xiao Mu.
"Brother Yang has sobered up, and my younger brother specially ordered the kitchen to stew sobering soup!"
He had a smile on his face, which made people feel like spring breeze: "After talking with me, I was deeply impressed by Brother Yang's knowledge. I can't wait to ask for advice day and night. At this time, I have moved here and become a neighbor with Brother Yang. I hope Brother Yang will never Be disgusted!"
"Since we are running an inn, we naturally welcome guests from all directions. You are worrying too much!"
Fang Yuan smiled slightly: "It just so happens that Brother Yu has nothing to do recently. He has to wait in the city until the results are released. He was worried about how to pass the time before!"
"If Brother Yang doesn't give up, I'm willing to be a host and take Brother Yang for a nice walk around the county!"
Xiao Mu's face was overjoyed, and the haze in his eyes continued to expand...
Late at night, at midnight, everything is silent.
"coming!"
Fang Yuan blew out the candles and sat cross-legged on the bed. When he saw a slight hint of green mist coming from the next door, he had a sneer on his face: "I want to see what you are this time!"
Immediately he looked solemn, waved his hand, and the white mist of ecstasy emerged, blocking the green smoke, and then a little bit of it came to the palm of his hand, like a green snake wrapped around his fingers.
