Chen Changsheng stopped and looked back at the teacher, a little puzzled. Then he remembered the people he had seen before, and he understood where the other party's anger came from. Backed away dejectedly, the teacher thought he should do the same, but he continued to move forward on his own, thinking that this made the other party a little unhappy.
He didn't want to waste time on unnecessary quarrels and misunderstandings, he bowed seriously to the teacher who was getting up, and explained directly: "Teacher, I am not making trouble."
The teacher was about to scold him for his intentions of causing trouble in such a solemn examination room, when he suddenly heard him say this first, he couldn't help but hesitate, he was a little bit suffocated, coughed twice, and shouted: "Then You haven't retreated quickly!"
Those young people waiting for the test who were waiting in line behind Chen Changsheng were anxious and impatient. Seeing him refusing to leave, they thought he was playing a scoundrel, and were very angry. crazy.
Chen Changsheng listened to those words and laughter, but his expression didn't change at all. He really didn't look like a fourteen-year-old boy, and he was so calm that he was a little at a loss. He looked at the teacher, bowed again very politely, and said in an orderly manner: "I have never practiced, but I can still apply for the Tiandao Academy."
The teacher was stunned. He didn't know what the boy wanted to say. Since you failed to wash your marrow, how can you be qualified to continue taking the exam? Where have there been exceptions over the years? Even if there is, why is it your turn
Chen Changsheng said: "According to the Remarks of Chapter 17, Fourth Law, and Article 8 of Tiandaoyuan's regulations, the examination paper for admission to the hospital is the only criterion. Eleven years ago, there was a precedent by the Department of Officials."
Looking at his plain clothes, the teacher was subconsciously ready to reprimand him, not because he hated the poor and loved the rich, but because he didn't believe it at all. How could this boy, who obviously came from a remote village, be better than himself who had been in charge of recruiting the first test for several years? Do you know more about the rules of Tiandaoyuan? What remark item... Is there this in the school rules? Why don't I have any impression
However, just as he was about to send someone to take the young man away, he suddenly heard the word "clearing officials", and he couldn't help being surprised, and retracted what he was about to say.
The Cleaning Department was originally a seemingly inconspicuous institution under the official department of the Great Zhou Dynasty. As the Holy Empress came to power, the Cleaning Department, run by Zhou Tong, a famous cruel official who was favored by her old man, suddenly became different. How many veterans loyal to the royal family will die inexplicably in those few ordinary-looking buildings. Gradually, this name frightened all the officials and dignitaries of the Zhou Dynasty.
Although the Tiandaoyuan is not under the jurisdiction of the Cleaning Department, it is inevitable that there is some fear. What disturbs the teacher the most is that in order to wash away the bad name, the Cleaning Department pays the most attention to the reputation among the people. "Truth", if there is really the one mentioned by the young man in the rules of Tiandaoyuan, then I'm afraid there will be trouble...
Seeing Chen Changsheng's calm expression, the teacher suddenly felt a little unconfident. After hesitating for a while, he frowned and yelled at the back of the team, then turned around and left without knowing where he went. The crowd's scolding and ridicule gradually subsided and turned into whispers. I don't know what happened.
After a while, the teacher came back, looking at Chen Changsheng with complicated eyes.
Chen Changsheng knew that the other party should have checked the rules of the court earlier, and he saw the note he mentioned - he had been studying in the temple since he was a child, and he had three thousand volumes of the Dao in his mind, and he had memorized countless classics and articles. I have read the country's rules and regulations and etiquette details countless times, so I can't remember them wrong.
"Even if you continue the exam, you don't have any chance, so why waste time?"
The teacher looked at Chen Changsheng expressionlessly and said, his expression was very severe.
Chen Changsheng said, "Students still want to try."
The teacher said: "If you haven't successfully washed your marrow, how can you do those questions? And you will be hurt, are you sure you want to take the test?"
This sentence is actually true. After washing the marrow and purifying the heart, the biggest difference between me and ordinary people is that apart from the strength of the body, there is a difference in the strength of the spiritual consciousness. Those difficult questions are even very likely to be seriously injured—so the small table in the bamboo shed and the black induction stone on the table have become a must-pass in the assessment. As long as the black stone cannot be brightened, it will be eliminated. Convention or common sense, so no losers raised objections before, until Chen Changsheng, an outlier, appeared.
Chen Changsheng saluted and said, "Students are sure to take the exam."
The teacher's expression was a little ugly, and he thought that since you are wasting your own time and everyone else's time just because you came across the rules and regulations by chance, then go as you please, if you really have spiritual sense Being injured and becoming an idiot is also to blame.
"then you go."
Chen Changsheng saluted again, without further words, walked out of the bamboo shed, and walked towards the building deep in the Heavenly Dao Temple.
The teacher said nothing more, looked at the remaining students, and said with a frosty face, "Next."
…
…
For more than ten years, Chen Changsheng was the first person to fail the induction stone assessment but continue to take the entrance examination of the Heavenly Dao Academy. Those teenagers who watched him go away couldn't understand what happened, and those who knew some inside information didn't take it seriously either—after all, taking advantage of loopholes was just taking advantage of loopholes, failing to cleanse the marrow, no matter whether memory or analysis and calculation His abilities are only ordinary, and it is impossible to do the entrance examination questions of Tiandaoyuan. Chen Changsheng's behavior is at best an interesting episode.
That building is the No. A building of Tiandaoyuan. Looking at Chen Changsheng who walked into the building, many people didn't take it seriously. However, Tang Thirty-six, a young man in green who had successfully entered Tiandaoyuan after finishing the assessment ahead of schedule, was deeply moved. He glanced at Chen Changsheng twice. He also didn't think Chen Changsheng could pass the examination, but he admired the seriousness and even stubbornness of the other party, because it easily reminded him of himself. At this moment, the vice president of Tiandao Academy appeared beside him, and said with a smile: "Do you think that boy has a chance? I don't think so. Who was the last person admitted to Tiandao Academy as an ordinary person? That person is Wang Zhice , and this continent has not seen anyone like Wang Zhice for hundreds of years."
Wang Zhice was once a legendary figure in this continent. In the last years of Taizu, this man was admitted to Tiandao Academy at the age of sixteen, and he was an ordinary person who had never practiced. After graduating from Tiandaoyuan, he has been doing ordinary clerical work in the imperial court until he was forty years old. Suddenly, there was a loud cry at night in Kyoto. Wang Zhice realized the Tao overnight and began to practice. He became the deputy commander of the human coalition and played a decisive role in the battle to defeat the demons. To this day, his portrait is still hanging in Lingyan's attic.
The world has not seen Wang Zhice for a long time.
Tang Thirty-Six said: "I don't think he can pass the examination, and I don't think he is the next Wang Zhice, but I think that if you want to become such a great person as Wang Zhice, you must at least be like the young man just now. The spirit of defeat, and living rigorously enough—I never thought that geniuses were so great, and the truly scariest people are those who treat themselves the hardest.”
The vice-principal shook his head and said, "Back then, Wang Zhice was studying at the ethnology school, eating frozen porridge in the ice and snow, never letting go of the book, how much could that young man learn?"
Tang Thirty-Six said: "At least that young man is much better than other mediocre people."
The vice president took a look at him and said, "It really is Tang Tang, who is so different in seeing things and people."
Tang Thirty-Six frowned slightly, and said, "Please call me Tang Thirty-Six."
The vice-principal laughed and said, "If you enter my Heavenly Dao Academy, your name will change again if you think about it."
Tang Thirty-Six said seriously: "That is inevitable."
The vice-principal glanced at the building, felt the faint fragrance overflowing from the window, and asked, "Do you want to continue waiting?"
Tang Thirty-Six said, "Yes."
The vice president asked, "Why?"
Tang Thirty-Six said: "Although it is impossible for him to pass, I really want to know how many points he can get."
…
…
The test paper on the case is extremely thick, like a hill. Chen Changsheng didn't know the specific content of the test paper, so he was inevitably a little nervous. As we all know, the reason why it is extremely difficult to get into the Tiandao Academy is because the admission test questions cover everything, from the true meaning of Taoism to the first debate of the heavenly scriptures to the art of war. There will be questions on crops. Even in the perfect state of marrow washing, it is very difficult to answer all the test questions before the incense is burned, let alone he is just an ordinary person.
He sat in front of the desk, closed his eyes and meditated for five breaths, then opened them, reached out and opened the first page of the test paper. When doing this action, his emotions were a bit complicated, it was curiosity about the unknown and uneasiness from nowhere, but there was still a little bit of anticipation for no reason.
His fingers froze suddenly, and a trace of doubt flashed in his bright mirror-like eyes.
It is said that the test questions in Tiandaoyuan are difficult. If you want to compare the essence of the scriptures, you often look for the most obscure chapters in the most remote places, but why... the first test question on the first page looks so familiar to you? Cen Shenzi and the Seventh Pope Debate on the True Meaning of the Thirty-one Candidates? When did you see it yourself? It seems to be when he was three years old... It was an inconspicuous short section of the Huainan Annotation of the South China Classic, but he confirmed that he had read it, recited it, and read it and recited it again when he was fifth and eleventh.
More than familiar, he is already familiar with these.
Chen Changsheng was a little puzzled, but he was still a teenager after all, and he was more pleasantly surprised. He stopped thinking about it, picked up the ink pen, and began to write the chapters and fragments in his mind, the insights expressed by the former sages on the paper. After copying it, he turned to the second page. Not surprisingly, he saw the familiar chapter again...
The Dao is all-encompassing, and almost all the questions of the Tiandaoyuan's entrance examination are contained in three thousand volumes.
He can memorize all three thousand volumes backwards.
How can such an exam be so hard to defeat him
