Chapter 65 Bamboo Slips
A gleam of light flickered, eyes went dark, and in a blink of an eye, it seemed that they were in a huge school, and more than a dozen men with high crowns were sitting on the stage, and there were figures below.

"This is... the examination room?"

Su Ziji looked and saw that everyone looked like a student, but their expressions were dull, and their bodies were translucent. They looked like shadows, but they were densely packed, thousands of them.

The bamboo slips held in Wei's hands shimmered back and forth, appearing real.

Just thinking about it, before the recitation could be straightened out, suddenly, the first man slapped it with a rattle, and a dozen people suddenly came to life, staring at Su Ziji with suspicious and cold eyes, and chanting at the same time.

"The most stupid people in the world do not fear the sages of the past, but fear the fools of today. The nature of the people in the country is quite eccentric, and it has been around for a long time."

"Scholars travel to study and learn from each other. Although they are poor and humble, it is not a day without the joy of reading!"

"The four sons all contain the writings of the Tao, and they cannot be filled with Song and female."

After reading it aloud, the bamboo slips emitted light, and the light and shadow were distorted, creating a huge pressure.

"Hmm..." Su Ziji shrank suddenly under the pressure, and even wanted to take a step back, but just as he was about to retreat, he stopped. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came, and there was a roll of bamboo slips in his hand.

Although it is a bamboo slip, you don't need to read it to know that it is your own article.

In a blink of an eye, the disciples had finished reading, and saw that the bamboo slips seemed to have spirituality, and they were already floating in the air, and they collided with each other suddenly after hearing a few "booms and booms".

With just a few hits, the bamboo slips exploded, leaving only two in the air.

As soon as the bamboo slip was broken, its owner glanced at it, with an expression of annoyance, sadness, and despair in his eyes. With a sound of "Peng", it exploded and disappeared in the school.

Su Ziji's heart moved, and the feeling of sorrow for the death of the rabbit and the fox rose in his heart.

"Is this the article that was eliminated?"

Just thinking about it, Xiangmu slapped again, and suddenly more than a dozen people came to life, staring at Su Ziji with suspicion, and reading articles in their mouths.

The sound of reading aloud filled the whole school, but soon, the scene just now was staged again.

It seemed slow, but it was actually very fast. In the blink of an eye, it was my turn.

"Huh?" Su Ziji felt that he and a dozen people could not help reading aloud,

"The people of Wei thought that the style of the ancient prose was not comparable to the modern prose, and there were many people who doubted its falsity. Who were the ones who could not believe it? The man who wrote a book and became famous all over the world, his performance can be counted. How can he prove his fate with a short-cut way of speaking? Can you easily give up your words?"

The next moment, the bamboo slips rushed out and fought with each other. Almost at the same time, a great will came out of the stage and turned into booming words.

"This article is not bad. Although the words are still succinct, the whole article has been analyzed and the atmosphere has been condensed."

"Secondary, can enter the second instance."

The voice of these words was clear and bright, but there was a sense of will, as if just getting approval, the bamboo slips would glow.

"This...is it the examiner's review? Everyone should have commented before, but I didn't hear it." Su Ziji thought to himself: "Could it be that only the person involved can see it?"

It seemed to be much faster down here. Group after group of people read aloud, group after group of people disappeared, and in a blink of an eye, there were only a hundred people left, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"Indeed, I can't hear the examiner's comments on others." Su Ziji was like watching a puppet show. There were hundreds of people, and a dozen stood up to read aloud. With a "boom", half of the dozen or so people disappeared this time.

"This is a failure of the second trial."

"That's right, Jinshi takes the exam every three years and admits about 200 people. Juren also takes the exam every three years. Each province only takes about 100 people. The Xiucai Mansion takes the exam every two years and admits about 50 people each time."

I just thought about it, and in a blink of an eye it was my turn to read aloud, I didn't need to open my mouth, I just read aloud naturally, and when the clouds and smoke cleared, there were only about fifty people left on the field.

"Am I already selected as a scholar?" Su Ziji thought to himself, seeing his own bamboo slips "buzzing", rising continuously, and gathering at the front, but only No.4.

"Where is my ranking? Seventh grade is only fourth?"

"The top three, one of them is Zheng Yingci? Sure enough, this talent is even better than me!"

During this process, Su Ziji didn't hear the cheating, so he thought about it. Suddenly, with a "buzz", a person broke in. Obviously, the examiner showed anger, but he didn't expel him. He pointed at himself: "The first Four? This person focuses on observation and is listed as the first."

The examiner was even more angry, and when he argued, although it was related to him, his voice became fragmented. Su Ziji's ears perked up, and he faintly heard the word "Prince", but he didn't hear clearly, only saw his own bamboo slip suddenly "boom" , a white flame emerged, leaping to the first place.

After becoming the number one, everything exploded in front of his eyes, and his eyes became black.

Su Ziji sat in the examination booth, glanced at it, it was getting dark, half of the candidates were still around, and saw an officer coming over, probably thinking that he still had to take the test, lit a candle and put it down, and told: "When the candles are lit, you have to leave without delay."

This is overtime.

Su Ziji's face turned dark, he scanned the exam paper again, and handed it in silently.

"Ziji!" Yu Lv had already come out from the examination room of Class A, waiting for Su Ziji, and when he finally came out, he immediately waved to Su Ziji.

"Brother Yu, how did you do in the exam?" Su Ziji lowered his eyes and saw half a phantom of red sandalwood jumping out. He pressed the button immediately and asked.

This is not the time to check out rosewood tins.

Yu Lv pondered: "Fortunately, I have tried my best."

"Me too." Su Ziji remembered that Yu Lu was also included in the list this time.

The two looked at each other and both smiled.

"Why don't we go to a restaurant to have dinner together?" Yu Lv said, "You've been on boats and boats before, but we haven't chatted with you for a while."

Su Ziji was a little embarrassed when he heard the words: "I was wrong. I treated guests. I made a bet on Huafang. Five taels was multiplied by five times, and I made a full 20 taels. I just went to the wine shop, and I can still afford it. Let's go."

After Su Ziji said that, Yu Lu couldn't refuse. The two went to the nearby restaurant, ordered a few side dishes and a pot of sake, and Yu Lu asked, "Miss Ye's chess game is going well?"

Su Ziji nodded: "Successfully, I have taken advantage of her this time. Not only did I make money on the boat, but I was also exempted from food and lodging expenses. The organizer of this chess tournament is really generous."

"After all, it is a chess game supported by major chambers of commerce. Go to the province in the county. If you can win the championship in the capital, I heard that there will be great rewards. You can buy a small courtyard in the capital."

"Is there such a preferential treatment?" This surprised Su Ziji.

Yu Lv couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "To become a chess master, even the nobles in the palace have to respect it. I heard that Du Qisheng once declined the invitation of the Queen Mother, but did not enter the palace to take up a post. It is an honor to be able to go this far in chess."

Su Ziji couldn't help being curious about the people who could politely refuse to enter the palace.

"Such people, either because they are pure and noble, or because of other reasons, cannot enter the palace."

"By the way, next, are you going to wait for the list, or go back first?" Yu Lv asked again.

"Wait for the list." Su Ziji said, "It only takes about three days to see the results."
