Chapter 50: The confused God judges the confused case, and the literary spirit is brilliant (4k)
The green smoke in front of Yu Que was steaming, and his hair was swaying because of it, making him look so relaxed.
"One foot and three feet! He is also a master of immortality. If he is not burning, he will be nothing, but if he is burning, he will be amazing."
There were students everywhere muttering:
"Damn it, in the past, you could usually pass the test at nine feet, and you can definitely pass the test at more than one foot. This guy scored a score of one foot and three feet, and he is a high-scoring seed!"
Some are jealous, some are envious, and some are envious.
There are also ghosts and gods in the sky above Yu Que's brazier, twisting and squirming, with twitching faces, sucking in and out of the green smoke he burned.
A bunch of lantern paper monsters carrying test questions were also attracted. You bumped into me, I bumped into you, and the long red tongues in their mouths were all twisted together.
Some nearby candidates who were reading the questions were affected by the disappearance of the questions, and they immediately complained even more.
But this is normal in county exams.
Those with a strong literary spirit will inevitably influence or even oppress other students nearby.
If you don't want to be affected by other people's literary energy, then you can use your own literary energy to attract the lantern monster in the examination room.
Yu Que sat cross-legged in front of the brazier, watching the rising smoke. Although there was joy flashing across his face, he was not complacent.
Instead, he stared at the gathering Lantern Monsters with bright eyes.
I saw that among the lantern monsters rushing towards me at this moment, there were some lantern monsters that were extremely large, more than twice the size of ordinary lantern monsters.
And the long tongues in their mouths are not stuck out, but rolled up.
Only when they are close to the candidates' Wenqi, these lantern monsters stick out their tongues and suck, will they reveal the test questions in their mouths.
The questions mentioned by these lantern monsters are not basic questions or big questions, but big questions that can increase the score.
And the candidates in the field only have one chance to answer such questions.
Regardless of whether the answer is wrong or correct, if you answer additional questions in the future, a trace of smoke will not increase, but will affect the literary spirit that was raised previously
"In terms of literary quality in the county examination, a person with perfect scores can be 1 to 5 feet tall. Although I am now 1 to 3 feet tall, I must be in the ranks of the first-class evaluation, but it may not be the first-class or the first-class."
Yu Que's eyes flickered, and he thought to himself: "If you want to get top marks, you must earn a good score on top of the extra questions!"
Whoops!
As the ghost shook, several thick long tongues landed on Yu Que's left and right, facing him, making it difficult for the other candidates to see the whole picture, and even Yu Que might not be able to see clearly.
Fortunately, he had sharp eyesight and was able to clearly see two additional questions.
The first one:
"A woman has a husband and gives birth to a son who is not her husband, but actually a father-in-law. Let me ask, her husband and his son, are they brothers? Are they father and son?"
When Yu Que saw the title, he immediately raised his eyebrows with a strange look on his face.
"Good guy, I've heard that the questions asked in the county exam are really contrary to common sense and quite tricky. When I saw them today, it turned out to be true."
He was stunned and did not immediately choose this question to answer, but looked at another question.
As a result, the content of this question made him even more speechless:
"Some villagers held a certain household and had a dispute in front of the temple, praying to the gods for punishment.
In this household, the wife and her son committed adultery, and the husband discovered it. The husband and wife turned against each other and vowed not to live together. Who will the son follow? ”
The first question is about the woman having an affair with her father-in-law. Should the child and her husband be considered brothers or father and son?
As for the second question, it is about the woman and her son committing adultery and the couple breaks up. Who should the son be punished and who should he live with later on?
This question is quite difficult to answer. If the son follows the woman, wouldn't he be condoning the violation of human ethics between the mother and the son?
The son following the man is a pain in the neck and may even lead to tragedy.
As for the three of them continuing to live together and in the same room, this is a matter of harmony and confusion.
Yu Que held the pen and didn't know which one to choose for a while. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart:
"Is the person who asked this question hurt by women or men? He can actually come up with such a tricky question that teases women and men... Or is this question based on popular materials and not fabricated out of thin air?"< br>
Muttering in his heart, Yu Que's eyes suddenly narrowed again.
The two lantern monsters displayed in front of him suddenly retracted their long tongues and then flew to other places.
Phew!
Another person in the examination room lit the examination paper, which suddenly burned into a plume of smoke and caused the candidates nearby to cough.
Yu Que looked at the opponent's smoke column and found that the opponent's smoke column was more than one foot or two feet high. It looked like it was only a little lower than him. A large number of nearby lantern monsters were still being attracted to the opponent.
"In the county examination, there is someone who is not inferior to me." Yu Que's heart tightened.
Puff puff puff puff!
Not only was there only a tall column of smoke rising from the scene, but it was almost time at the moment. Many people with profound knowledge of immortality chose to light all the examination papers in a tacit agreement, burning out bursts of green smoke.
In just less than ten breaths, there were as many as a dozen people in the field who were more than ten feet taller in civility. Among them, the smoke column of someone was even closer to Yu Que, and they were slightly taller than him.
Yu Que raised his eyes and saw that the other person's face was blurred in the smoke. She seemed to be a woman, and she was also turning her head to look at the elegant green smoke above Yu Que's head.
After just one glance, Yu Que immediately stopped looking.
He has already delayed ten breaths of time and should not delay any longer.
Please note that the number of additional questions in the field is limited. If someone else fails to answer the questions, it will be useless for others to answer the questions. It will just be a waste of opportunity to answer the questions.
Yu Que immediately closed his eyes slightly, thoughts running wildly in his mind.
During the ten breaths just now, he was not just observing his surroundings, he was also thinking secretly in his mind, and he had already figured out the answer to the first additional question.
"A son of adultery, a younger brother and a son?
Of course it’s for my son!
Seniority should be based on patriarchal ethics, not blood relationship. Otherwise, the harm will be endless and it will lead to mutual competition for family property and the right to sacrifice. Resentment will grow in the house, and evil spirits can easily breed. ”
But Yu Que didn't polish the answer, so he copied it on yellow paper and burned it.
Because compared to the second question, the first question is obviously less tricky.
If he wants to compete for high scores, he has to think carefully.
After a moment of confusion in his eyes, Yu Que no longer hesitated, spread out the yellow paper, opened his mouth to moisten his pen, and leaned down to write on the yellow paper.
His first sentence is: "I will not follow anyone I will follow."
Then Yu Que streamlined his writing style and hit the point directly:
"Those who are officials and gods should not be bound by ethical rules, but those who know the rules are just the ropes of herdsmen.
Now there is a son who commits adultery with his mother, and his love must be known again before he can be punished. If the mother commits adultery, she will be severely punished and paraded through the streets. If the son seduces into adultery, he will be punished severely, including castration and castration. If a husband is cruel to the family, or helps the emperor to commit cruelty, he should also be severely punished, wearing a high hat, riding a wooden donkey...
Of these three people, the young ones can commit adultery, no matter what the reason or age, they have all grown up, just like cats and dogs that are sexually mature, they should be exiled to the south and the north, each living in their own household, and no longer need to be one family. ”
After writing carefully, Yu Que unfolded the yellow paper and slowly blew ink.
The general meaning of the content on the paper is that there is no need to judge this case based on common sense.
Which treatment method can best suppress the local situation and clean up the public morals, which one should be chosen. Yu Que also listed the treatment measures of the severity of punishment in different specific situations.
And an important point, that is, the son of adultery. Since he can commit adultery, it proves that he is sexually mature, and he is naturally an "adult".
In this way, there is no need to worry about who this son will follow or who he will not follow. The solution is to exile them all!
Yu Que checked it out and realized that his answer was quite reasonable.
The only thing worth worrying about is that his thinking goes too far beyond the question, which may fall into the eyes of the examiner who dislikes him. He may think he is harsh, or he may think he is confused and cannot see the meaning of the question clearly.
But he didn’t hesitate for too long, Yu Que’s eyes were fixed:
"We can't delay any longer, otherwise it will be useless even if I write the flowers after everyone else has finished answering!"
With a shake of his hand, he immediately threw the yellow paper in his hand into the brazier and stared at the brazier with eyes like a hawk.
Whoops! The next moment, something happened that made Yu Que feel relaxed. The yellow paper burned out smoke, and above his brazier, a huge lantern monster flew over and circled around the brazier.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
This situation proves that he is most likely the first to answer the question, and this additional question has not been taken away by others.
In Yu Que's expectant eyes, the piece of yellow paper he threw out just now was only one piece of paper, but the light and color shone brightly, and the burning time was really long.
Phew!
Another stream of green smoke shot up from the brazier and penetrated into his three-foot-long Wenqi smoke column, causing the already tall and thick smoke column to rise even higher.
Yu Que's eyes brightened.
There was a crash, and there was a ghost crying sound in the air.
It was the big lantern monster with the extra question. His tongue was suddenly burned by the rising smoke column. His tongue was broken off immediately and fell into the brazier with a pop.
So while Yu Que was stunned, his thick and long column of elegant smoke suddenly rose a lot further.
In an instant, fireworks were swirling around him, and his writing style was as straight as smoke, which could be seen in the entire examination room.
Countless candidates were startled by the movement, and they all raised their eyes and looked over with horrified expressions.
"One foot, one foot and six feet? Am I dazzled?"
"What a guy! Such a bluff."
There are also people who are scratching their heads and ears, looking sad. Their clothes are luxurious, but the smoke in front of them is wilting, as if they are three inches tall.
At this moment, he suddenly saw the smoke of Yu Que's elegant style. The guy pointed and shouted: "Didn't I say that the perfect score is only one foot and five feet? Come on, that person cheated."
This man's loud shout immediately attracted the ridicule of others.
Even the yamen servant came over and asked a few words. When he saw that his yellow paper was burned out and the smoke was short, he simply picked it up and drove him out of the examination room.
Yu Que sat cross-legged in front of the brazier and looked up at the smoke column from his house.
In a daze, he looked overjoyed and clapped his hands, thinking: "Hey! I hit the mark."
Obviously, his answer to the additional question hit the heart of the person who asked the question, causing the other person to add three feet of grace to him in one breath.
With these three additional literary talents, Yu Que will not only pass the Immortal Literature Examination safely and will definitely be in the top three, but he will probably be able to compete for the first and second place in one breath and firmly rank in the top three.
After all, this is beyond a perfect score!
Yu Que sat cross-legged in the examination room, his hair fluttering, his sleeves swaying, and he was glowing with glory.
Others looked at him and murmured, what a talented man.
Yu Que looked around and saw people and government servants all pointing at him.
He lowered his head slightly and thought about it, then put his things in order and stood up with his sleeves rolled up.
After bowing to the brazier in front of him, he swaggered towards the examination room where the second level was located.
Now that Yu Que's questions have been answered, and the additional questions have also been answered, there is no answer, so there is no point in staying where he is for any longer, so he should leave and rest, waiting for the next exam.
As for whether his move will arouse the jealousy of others and the displeasure of the examiners...
The immortal test of a county's education focuses on the emergence of capable people in large numbers and the emergence of talents.
The more outstanding the candidates are in literary talent and the faster they answer questions, the more it proves that the local fairy learning is prosperous.
Yu Que was walking in the eyes of everyone at the moment, and the glances he cast towards him, although they were malicious, were more filled with envy and admiration, and made him feel ashamed.
In addition, there were several eyes that looked over from outside the examination room. They saw his high level of literary talent and his face, and they all noticed something and secretly praised him.
In this way, Yu Que walked all the way to the outside. Although he secretly warned himself not to be arrogant in victory or discouraged in defeat, and tried his best to behave in a reserved manner, his steps were still light and airy, extremely happy.
When he was taking the Immortal Science Examination before, he had never experienced being in such a limelight, and now he relied on his strength to dominate the crowd.
This feeling really made him feel happy!
However, when Yu Que walked to the edge of the examination room and had not yet sat down, the examination room was shocked again, and many candidates were making noisy noises.
Yu Que immediately raised his eyes and looked over, his eyes also filled with surprise.
I saw another thick plume of smoke rising up, and its sound and appearance were not inferior to Yu Que's scene just now. After some estimation, it was surprisingly one to five feet long!
And the most shocking thing is that the opponent's smoke column rises from nothing.
In other words, this person got full marks in one go without any additional questions, which is simply unimaginable.
In an instant, all the lantern monsters in the examination room were attracted to each other, like a school of fish rushing to eat, and the order of the examination room was instantly disrupted.
Many candidates couldn't see the questions and were making a lot of noise.
In the commotion, Yu Que looked carefully and saw a female figure.
The other party was thin and looked around as if there was nothing in sight. He was sitting cross-legged happily in the field, looking up at the sky, as if he was choosing his own additional questions.
Just looking at the calm and unhurried behavior of this woman, she seems to have the bearing of a proud woman.
Yu Que looked at the woman. Although he was not ashamed, the excitement in his heart just now disappeared in an instant, and he muttered in his heart.
Damn it, there are candidates with perfect scores in a mere place!
It seems that he underestimated the heroes of the county.
