Nanfeng originally wanted to take the east passage, but he didn't struggle and allowed the two men to carry him over.
The actions of the three people aroused the attention of many people. Lingxizi was not allowed to speak even if he tried to remind them. In addition, there was another reason why he did not speak, that is, he had never thought that the number of disciples this year would be so small. Can Tianlianzi help? He was not sure that Nan Feng would pass the test. Now that Nan Feng had gone elsewhere, he couldn't blame him even if he couldn't get in.
"Nanfeng, how can you take us two with you?" Kong Yiming asked eagerly.
Nanfeng shook his head, "I don't know how to proceed with the three questions yet, let's see and then talk."
Kong Yiming and Cao Meng both nodded and followed Nanfeng closely.
There was a little girl in the crowd, about fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing a green shirt and white skirt. She was very cute. Nan Feng kept staring at her. The girl turned around and found Nan Feng looking at her, so she smiled kindly at Nan Feng. Nanfeng smiled at her.
At this time, the three-question assessment has begun in the three pavilions. The previous three questions were written and answered. But this year there were too many people, so it was changed to an oral interview. A group of twelve people came forward to listen to the questions and answer them one by one. .
Although there were only three questions, there were many alternative ones. Tian Chengzi sat in the middle of the pavilion. Every time a group of questions was asked, he would flip through the blog on the table. When the next group arrived, he would ask the other three questions.
Standing to the left and right of Tian Chengzi were two young Taoist priests. One of them was responsible for checking the number cards in the students' hands, and the other was responsible for recording the selection and rejection of the students.
"Nan Feng." Kong Yiming touched him.
"Huh?" Nanfeng looked away and tilted his head to look at Kong Yiming.
"I asked for you. She is the daughter of the imperial physician Zheng Si, and her name is Zheng Xian." Kong Yiming pointed to the young girl in front of him.
Nanfeng nodded. At this time, a girl's name would not be easily told to others. Kong Yiming undoubtedly asked her shamelessly because of her persistence.
"The three questions this time are not written, but spoken. When the time comes, you can say whatever I say." Nanfeng said in a low voice. Although the questions were changed every time, the twelve people in the same group answered the same questions.
Kong Yiming asked in confusion, "Nanfeng, what kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd? What is your relationship with Master Tiancheng?"
"Don't ask, I can't explain a sentence or two clearly," Nanfeng shook his head.
There were twelve people in groups, and each group did not stay long after entering the pavilion. The students who came out of the pavilion had different expressions, some were dejected, and some were happy, but there were more people who were crying than smiling. Much more.
The students who had passed the examination returned from the right side of each passage, and other students tried to ask the examination questions. Upon seeing this, the Taoist priest from the Law Examination Hall immediately came over and shouted loudly to stop everyone from talking to each other.
The three examiners each had different speeds in their examinations. The fastest one was Tiangangzi in the middle passage. This person was the head of the Xiahe Hall and the Ziqi Master who had been promoted to the mountain.
Tianlianzi on the west side and Tianchengzi on the east side were not very fast. From time to time, Taoist priests from Lucha Palace would come over and lead some of the students on the east and west sides to the middle passage. The three of them had to squeeze forward to prevent them from being pushed into the middle. .
At noon, the three examiners did not take a break. Before noon, it was the turn of Nanfeng, Kong Yiming and others.
Twelve people lined up in a line and entered the pavilion, standing east and west. Nanfeng was third from the left, Cao Meng was fourth from the left, and Kong Yiming was fifth from the left.
After nearly three hours of questioning, Tian Chengzi and the two Taoist priests beside him had tired looks on their faces. After everyone entered the pavilion, one of the Taoist priests checked everyone's number plates and read them out one by one, while the other one wrote down the records.
Tian Chengzi raised his head and looked around at everyone, then looked away, flipping through one of the pages of the blog, and asked, "The first of the three questions is that the old mother and the young son fell into the water at the same time, and only one person can be saved. Who can be saved?"
Due to the strict guarding by the Taoist priests of the Lucha Hall, everyone had no idea what the three questions were before, and they were all stunned at this time. This question was too eccentric and difficult to weigh.
Such a question is indeed difficult to answer. Zuo Yi was hesitant to decide. Tian Chengzi pointed to Zuo 2 and motioned for him to answer.
The one on the left was a girl. Seeing Tian Chengzi go past her to ask another person, she hurriedly replied, "Save mother."
But Tian Chengzi did not look at her, but continued to look at the student on the second left.
Having learned from the past, the second student, Zuo, knew that he would be disqualified if he delayed, so he hurriedly replied, "If I can only save one person, I should save my mother."
Tian Chengzi did not comment and turned his attention to Nanfeng.
"How could such a coincidence happen?" Nanfeng said casually.
After Nanfeng finished speaking, everyone else in the group frowned, even the two Taoist priests next to Tian Chengzi frowned, but Tian Chengzi's expression remained normal and he turned his attention to Cao Meng.
Cao Meng panicked. Nanfeng had asked them to copy the answer before, but Nanfeng's answer was simply for death. How could they copy it
But there was no time for him to think of other answers at the moment. He closed his eyes and said, "I don't think things will be such a coincidence."
Tian Chengzi frowned, but what he was looking at was not Cao Meng, but Nanfeng.
After looking at Nan Feng, Tian Chengzi looked at Kong Yiming again, and Kong Yiming replied seriously, "The parents who gave birth to me are more generous than God in raising me. Children can be raised again, but mothers cannot be lost again. Save the mother!"
Everyone in the world has the desire to follow the crowd. Except for Nanfeng and Cao Meng, everyone else has the same answer, which is to save their mother.
Tian Chengzi did not announce the answer, but asked again, "The second question of the three questions is, the officials and the people fell into the water at the same time, and only one person could be saved. Who should be saved?"
Zuo Yi immediately responded, "Save the people."
The second student on the left also replied, "Save the people."
"Save the official." Nan Feng replied.
When Cao Meng heard this, he secretly complained. This answer was obviously a sign of following the trend, but he had already followed Nanfeng on a side road, so he could only answer bravely, "I will also save the officials."
"I will save anyone who is close to me." This was Kong Yiming's answer.
The answers from the others were generally similar, and they were all willing to save civilians.
"The third question of the three questions is, many people have fallen into the water. If you have the ability to rescue them, will you rescue them?" Tian Chengzi asked again.
Everyone frowned upon hearing this, why the three questions they asked were all related to falling into the water.
"You should rescue all of them." Member Zuo Yi replied.
"Rescue them all," the second from the left replied.
Nan Feng did not answer this question immediately. The question asked by Tian Chengzi was very similar to the situation when Tian Qi Zi subdued demons and rescued people that day. Tian Qi Zi did not rescue all those who fell into the water that day.
This incident has always troubled him. He didn't know why Tian Qizi did what he did. But the incident happened suddenly and he had no time to think about it. He could only reply casually, "Save a few casually, and don't save those that are too troublesome."
Cao Meng on the side felt like he was crying. It was unreasonable for such an answer not to be brushed off. But he had already fallen into the ditch, so he could only continue to jump down, "I think so too."
"It is the duty of a Taoist priest to help the world and save people. Don't say you have the ability to rescue, even if you don't, you must try to rescue." Kong Yiming said.
Later, everyone replied that they were saving people. If they had the ability to save people, why not.
After three questions, Tian Chengzi raised his finger and pointed at Guan Feng and Cao Meng. The Taoist who was in charge of writing asked them again about their number plates and recorded them.
"Master Tiancheng, why haven't we passed the test?" Kong Yiming was anxious.
Tian Chengzi raised his eyebrows and glanced at Kong Yiming, then waved his hand, signaling everyone to step aside and change to the next group.
When Kong Yiming saw that Tian Chengzi was ignoring him, he asked hurriedly, "Why do you treat Nanfeng so favorably? He can get away with talking nonsense. What's wrong with our answer?"
"You're so arrogant, don't back down!" the Taoist priest next to Tian Chengzi scolded loudly.
Tianchengzi raised his hand to stop the Taoist priest from scolding Kong Yiming, and turned to Kong Yiming and said in a deep voice, "Okay, let me tell you, that question is not about human relations, but about character. As the saying goes, the Tao is invisible, and cultivation is the most important thing." Don't follow the rules. The ancient kings have set all kinds of rules for the world. Is it possible that you all have to follow them one by one
The second question is not a test of nobleness, but morality. If an official or a civilian falls into the water at the same time, ask yourself, would you really save that civilian? The good of the people can only be done by oneself, but the good of an official can benefit all people. Weighing the pros and cons, it would be more beneficial to save the official. You all understand this truth, so why don't you dare to tell the truth.
The test of the Three Questions is not compassion, but perspective, the responsibility of heaven, and the cycle of cause and effect. It is very likely that the heavens and the earth will gather together when everyone suffers at the same time, and evil retribution will come. If you don't save, you will lose your benevolence. If you save everything, you will go against the law of heaven. If you save someone, you will go against the law of heaven. If you don't save everything, you can only obey the people and obey the heaven. "
Kong Yiming's face turned red when he heard this, and he was extremely angry but had no words to refute.
"Don't say that a real person has named him to accept him. Even if there is no decision, he can pass the test with this answer." Tian Chengzi waved his hand again, "Step back."
Kong Yiming was furious, turned around and left.
Nanfeng saw this and quickly followed, "Where are you going?"
"I don't want to leave you here, I have a place to stay." Kong Yiming walked forward quickly.
"You walk slower, I still have some silver on me, and I'll give it to you for travel expenses." Nanfeng said.
"Don't be pretentious." Kong Yiming didn't appreciate it.
"Don't pull me down, do I still owe you something?" Nan Feng was angry.
Kong Yiming didn't answer, and left angrily, heading south.
"Nanfeng, where are you going?" Cao Meng followed.
"You can go to hell wherever you like. This guy is too bad. You can't be friends with him..."
