On the first day of the morning exam, the literary exam ended.Ren Zhen knocked on the mountain and shook the tiger in front of the Xuanwen Palace, rectifying the corrupt atmosphere that had prevailed for a long time, and the matter spread all over the capital and was very happy.For the common people, what is the result of the court examination, who is selected and who is not on the list, although it is not directly related to them, but everyone is eager for fairness in their hearts, and they do not want to see the good talent lonely and the villain successful, and they are even more afraid that they will be planted in the hands of corrupt officials who rely on fraud to rise to power in the future.Ren Zhen's move made their eyes shine, and it was rare to see a righteous spirit in the officialdom of the Northern Tang Dynasty, and someone could stand up, not afraid of the powerful, and do something good for more people.At this time, Ren Zhen was still anxious about tomorrow's martial arts test, and he had no time to care about the outside world's comments on him, and of course he wouldn't care too much.His original intention in doing these things was not to win the appreciation of any group of people, but to be unwilling to blindly do things that harmed the interests of the Northern Tang Dynasty with a clear conscience, let alone to bear the infamy of the culprit who subverted the Northern Tang Dynasty.The ideal result he pursued was that the Northern Tang Dynasty set things right, and after he overthrew the Wu regime, it did not become a mess, but was on the right track, and gradually the country and the people were safe, until they defeated the strong enemy Southern Jin.It would be great if we could finally dominate the world.Don't seek fame for eternity, but don't carry the black cauldron, that's all.Therefore, when he sat in the office of the Ministry of Rites, personally supervising his subordinates to copy, seal, obfusify, and mark the papers, all he was thinking about was his own private affairs.During the daytime literary exam, he arranged for a stand-in to appear in the name of Ren Zhen and answer questions in the examination room, because he himself wanted to participate in the martial arts exam and compete with the top geniuses of the Northern Tang Dynasty tomorrow.The reason why this idea came to me is simple.Since entering the capital, he has been busy mixing with officialdom and dealing with various situations, and has rarely devoted his mind to cultivation recently, resulting in the realm being stuck in the five realms and stagnating.The strong are respected, and strength is always the first.He is not in a hurry, these days he often feels itchy hands, and he wants to compete with others, and adjust his state through actual combat, it is best to stimulate new insights and improve his strength.Moreover, he is about to go to the battlefield, fierce fighting is inevitable, and recovery has become an urgent matter.This great test happened to be a good opportunity, and at the same time, it could help him form an accurate understanding of those young people, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.During the daytime essay exam, he did not answer the questions himself, but sent a substitute to play for two reasons.First, the test prepared for the martial arts test candidates is very simple, and the paper is made by himself, so he does the questions by himself, which is really boring, so it is better to let the stand-in deal with the past casually; Second, although he is good at planning the overall situation, he does not dare to relax his vigilance in terms of details.He has two identities, and his appearance is easy to change, but the handwriting must not be the same.As a courtier, he will play a chapter to the empress in the future, and if it is similar to the handwriting on the scroll, it will be a fatal flaw if it is detected by someone with a heart.Looking back now, Ren Zhen has lingering palpitations, fortunately the invigilator is himself, otherwise, although the stand-in is the same as the five realms, he will never be able to stop Makino's brute force, and the end will definitely be miserable.Today's three punches are just a small test.Tomorrow's martial arts test is the stage for him to emerge.The martial arts test site is located in Shanglin Yuan.Shanglin Garden is located at the back of the imperial city, is a magnificent scale of the royal garden, covering an extremely vast area, there are many palaces, and there are large areas of mountains, forests and lakes, the scenery is beautiful and pleasant.It was not only a summer resort for successive emperors, but also a private hunting enclosure, and it is said that the emperor who built the garden was a martial artist and used it as a retreat.The martial arts test was conducted in Shanglin Yuan, and the conditions were suitable in all aspects.Early the next morning, all the candidates gathered at the door and walked into Shanglin Garden under the leadership of the invigilator.To everyone's surprise, the examiner was much quieter today, not as sharp as yesterday, but he walked in front with his hands in the face, and he didn't seem to plan to meddle in the martial arts test.They couldn't ask for this, so they naturally didn't dare to imagine that the real Ren Zhen was in the crowd at this time, waiting for the exam with them.The rules of the martial arts test are the simplest and most direct, and the competition is also the most cruel and fierce, and everything depends on force to determine the winner.According to the practice of previous years, the Ministry of Rites will divide all candidates into many groups, and at the same time conduct a knockout competition to compete for the winner of the group, and then compete for the top 64 and top 32 until the birth of this year's martial champion.In fact, the final palace examination is mainly for those who participate in the literary examination, and the martial arts examination will determine the ranking of the results today, determine the top three candidates for the face saint, and then show their faces in front of the empress.So, they have to give it their all.However, this year, the imperial court carried out the reform of the imperial examination and implemented the joint civil and military examination, and the rules are bound to change.Just as martial arts examiners have to make essay test papers, essay examiners who come today must pass a level test before yesterday's results are considered valid.This level of quiz is for everyone to take.At this time, everyone came to a reckless deep forest, listened to the sound of the waves, and felt uneasy because of the unknown new rules."
Don't worry, there's nothing dangerous about this quiz, it's just a game."
The examiner in charge of leading the team saw everyone's nervousness, and explained in a loud voice: "This deep forest is called Mingqi Forest, which occupies a huge area, but there are no wild beasts in it.Later, you go into the forest together, go out within the specified time, and reach the designated location, even if you pass the test. ”When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned, since it was so simple, since there were no wild beasts blocking the way, and everyone was sound in their legs and feet, it was not a matter of minutes to get out of the deep forest.The examiner continued: "There is a large array around the forest, and when you go inside, the whole forest will be filled with fog, and you will not be able to see the direction and the road.We will strike the chime from time to time outside the forest, and the chime sound will be transmitted into the forest, which is the proof of your direction. ”Suddenly, everyone came out of the forest when they heard the chime, and the name of the chime forest turned out to be like this.The fog under that great array must have been so thick that it completely blinded the vision, and the naked eye was useless.No matter how strong the chime sound is, it is difficult to maintain it for a long time, and it will definitely get smaller and smaller, and it will soon disperse.Therefore, this test should be about everyone's mental perception.The stronger the perception, even if the chime sound dissipates and recedes, the longer it can be perceived, and the more accurate it will be to distinguish the direction.In short, a small number of people hear a chime once, which is equivalent to an average person hearing a chime several times.Thinking about this, everyone looked solemn and no longer thought that the test was easy.On the contrary, this question does not discriminate against all candidates, and in fact, the examiners are not taken care of."
Wan Lai is silent here, but Yu Zhong chimes.I need to remind you that chime is the only signpost, in other words, any other means of getting out of the forest counts as cheating.We'll also be monitoring everyone's movements through the Array Eye. ”The examiner's voice rang out again, "If you find someone traveling with you or following someone else, then your results will be invalidated":
