Chapter 52 Chapter 51 The suspense of first place, making gold out of molten iron (3k words, please subscribe!)
Yu Que glanced at it for a few times, then sat at the side of the examination room and waited patiently.
Not long after, the situation in the field changed again. The candidate with a perfect score threw out a piece of yellow paper in his hand, apparently answering the additional question he chose.
While almost everyone was paying attention, a line of smoke slowly rose from the other party's brazier.
Some people were suddenly disappointed and muttered: "Why don't you choose a topic that has been preempted and step into a trap?"
The smoke slowly mixed into the opponent's full smoke column, immediately making the smoke column even longer and suddenly grew to a length of one to six feet.
But when Yu Que thought that the woman's literary smoke column would arch upwards, the other party's smoke column stopped at six feet, that is, the additional questions were only for this candidate with a perfect score to add one more foot of literary spirit.
This situation fell into the eyes of everyone, especially the county school examiners who came to pay attention. They suddenly sighed:
"It's still a little bit missing."
"It's a fly in the ointment. Students like this can usually answer the additional questions with about two feet of literary style."
Obviously, although this candidate with a perfect score did not hit a big trap in the additional questions, he still made a slight mistake and his score was not good.
Yu Que looked on, suddenly looking strange.
His eyes widened, and he repeatedly compared the other party's civilized smoke column with his own civilized smoke column. He suddenly discovered that the two were indistinguishable, and they were both six feet tall. No one was taller or lower than the other!
In this way, Yu Que didn't seem to be at a disadvantage when facing this perfect-scoring candidate.
A small expectation arose in his heart: "Could it be that if he ranks first in the literary test, he might be able to win my share!?"
The scores of each subject in the county examination will not only help the candidates to enter the county school, but also retain documents for future use when choosing a dharma lineage, visiting famous teachers, and applying for the Taoist palace.
Therefore, for candidates, the higher the score, the better. Even if the liberal arts test is only one of the three tests, and the first place is only the first place in a single subject, it is still the first place, and it is a good reputation! Yu Que couldn't ask for it.
However, Yu Que just thought about it in his mind. He still felt that his chance of winning the first place was not too great.
After all, his basic literary skills are only ten feet and three feet, and there are already people in the examination room who are not lower than him. He rose through the ranks entirely by relying on additional questions. If you really compare it with the candidates who scored perfect marks, it would actually seem a bit vain.
When Yu Que was struggling, the perfect-scoring candidate looked up at his own Wen Qi, with a few sighs on his indifferent face.
This person did not stay too long in the examination room. He packed up his things and calmly exited the examination room and walked towards Yu Que's location.
After she left the stage, the lantern monsters that gathered above her brazier staggered away again, carrying test questions and wandering around the field randomly.
The candidates immediately withdrew their gaze, gathered their energy, and continued to answer their questions.
Occasionally, there will be mournful cries:
"My maid gave birth to her! Who stole my additional questions, ah ah ah."
The opponent grabbed the ground with his head. The basic text in the brazier in front of him was not low, it was one foot high. However, because of his slowness, he missed the additional question and stopped there.
As time went by, the joy, anger, sorrow, and joy became more and more obvious in the examination room, and there were many cries.
There were also several white-haired candidates who, after screaming, spit out a mouthful of blood and sprayed it on the brazier in front of them. They clenched their teeth, their energy was exhausted, and they were already fainting on the spot.
When the government officials saw this, they hurriedly stepped forward and hurriedly pulled him out of the examination room to avoid the death of everyone in the first literary test.
However, the various attitudes of the candidates have nothing to do with Yu Que.
He had already escaped from it, and he was not surprised. All he had to do was sit by the examination room and regain his energy.
Soon, several other candidates had also finished the exam, and they all walked up to Yu Que with smug faces. Apparently, like him, they were all candidates for tonight's county exam.
The other generation's attitude towards Yu Que was different. They either smiled and handed over their hands, or looked at him coldly and showed disdain, or ignored him and walked aside by themselves, closing their eyes and concentrating.
The perfect-scoring candidate also appeared. This woman's face was cold, her skin was pale, and she had a sickly demeanor. Only her eyes were bright and extremely energetic.
She looked around the field, her eyes only lingering on Yu Que, and then she sat down to rest on her own without speaking to anyone.
Yu Que continued to sit cross-legged, and not long after, laughter suddenly sounded in his ears:
"Brother Yu, Brother Yu, it's me."
He looked up and found that it was his friend in the refiner's guild, Qian Huazhen.
Yu Que also had a smile on his face and stood up to greet him: "Congratulations, Brother Qian, on your successful literary test."
Qian Huazhen cupped his hands and praised him with a smile on his face:
"Same joy! Haha, I know Brother Yu will definitely achieve amazing results in the county examination
But I didn't expect that Brother Yu would become such a blockbuster. The literary spirit is six feet high! Don’t worry, the top spot in the literary test will be yours. ”
"Brother Qian is so complimentary."
The two were complimenting each other, and suddenly a sneer sounded from beside them:
"You haven't even finished the exam, and you want to be the top one? Yu, you are just a son of a family who is good at flattery. Others have perfect scores and don't say anything, but you have the nerve to brag here."
Qian Huazhen immediately frowned and drank immediately without Yu Que saying anything:
"Did you eat shit in your mouth? You are so stinky!"
But the other party only glanced at Qian Huazhen, and then continued to stare at Yu Que with a sinister gaze, as if he wanted to tear off a few pieces of flesh from Yu Que's body.
This person is none other than Fu Ling, the son of the Fu clan leader.
This guy also passed the test, but in his heart, he was extremely disgusted and resentful of Yu Que's publicity. Yu Que did not shy away and looked up at Fuling with calm eyes.
The dispute between a few people attracted the attention of the people around them, and a government servant was approaching.
After Fuling's eyes flickered, he bared his teeth, lowered his head and passed by Yu Que, sneering: "Don't worry, I won't let you have the chance to win the first place!"
< br>
After he finished speaking, he walked aside and sat down without looking back.
Yu Que frowned slightly when he heard this.
Although the results of the county examination are released on the spot and everyone can see them clearly at a glance, the situation of being tied like Yu Que is often decided by the county school examiners after all the examinations are completed.
If Fuling didn't want Yu Que to win the first place in the literary test, he would definitely hinder Yu Que in the next two levels with the intention of lowering his test evaluation.
He even took action brazenly and paid with blood!
Yu Que recalled the look in the other person's eyes just now, feeling that he had a strong murderous intent.
But he didn't panic at all, and showed his teeth, thinking coldly in his heart: "Just right. Enmity does not last overnight, and it seems that the cause and effect can be cut off today."
In the examination waiting area, Qian Huazhen exchanged a few words with him and then happily sat next to him.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Originally, there were candidates next to Yu Que who had left the examination room first, but money can make things go round. Qian Huazhen spent some money and let the other candidate go.
Subsequently.
Candidates kept leaving, and fewer and fewer people could reach the entrance of the second examination room.
Finally, the government officials came and mercilessly captured the confident but lucky candidates at the entrance one after another.
There was a burst of crying for father and mother:
"Impossible! Impossible! I am nine feet and one inch tall. I would have been able to pass the test in previous years."
"Hey, it's different this year. Anyone under one foot tall will be eliminated."
"No, no, little brothers, you are wrong. I am just one foot in literary power, and a few centimeters more...ah, don't do it, don't bully the white-headed man!"
In the meantime, there was an acquaintance of Yu Que.
The opponent tensed up and stood in the middle of the field, watching the candidates in front of him being taken out and eliminated. He was so nervous that there was sweat on his forehead.
This person is none other than Fang Mulian.
Waiting until the field was cleared and no one was eliminated, Fang Mulian wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, her face recovered, she looked happy, and her eyes were full of excitement.
He now had time to look around.
When she saw Yu Que, Fang Mulian's eyes suddenly revealed a look of deep envy.
This man wanted to step forward to recognize Yu Que and have a conversation, but he felt ashamed and stopped as he stepped forward.
Because his literary spirit is just over 10 feet tall, and he can barely pass the test. Compared with Yu Que, who is 16 feet tall and can take the first place in literary spirit, it is simply the difference between a dragon and a snake.
In addition, when Yu Que was expelled from the ghost shop, he not only did not help to say a good word, but also suggested that Yu Que leave as soon as possible, Fang Mulian felt really embarrassed.
He thought that his friendship with Yu Que was not deep enough, so he had better not step forward and be an eyesore.
Perhaps after they are admitted to the county school together, Fang Mulian will be able to stand upright in front of Yu Que and talk to him about their old relationship!
At this time, Fang Mulian looked in the direction of the second exam, her eyes even more excited.
He could already smell the rich smell of oil and fire behind the door.
The next second martial arts test will most likely be related to frying, and what Fang Mulian is best at is frying ghosts!
Sure enough.
As gongs rang, the door to the second examination room opened.
Many candidates filed in, and the first thing that caught their eyes was the blast furnaces. The molten iron in the furnaces was boiling, and there were oil and fire spraying, as if giants were breathing.
The heat roared in, and the chill of early spring disappeared from everyone's side in an instant.
A burst of muttering and noise also sounded among the candidates:
"Have you rectified any mistakes? This year has been so difficult that even the iron-making furnace has been rectified!"
"Isn't this molten iron meant for us to drink?"
Fang Mulian looked at the scene, but he was so excited that his body trembled slightly, and his heart was overjoyed: "Mom! I can do it, I will definitely do it."
In the past two times, he failed the county examination, both of which failed in the first pass of the literary examination, which did not show his tough physique. Now that he has passed the liberal arts exam, and the martial arts exam happened to have exam content that was extremely suitable for him, God is helping him!
Fang Mulian still thought happily in her heart: "The more difficult this level is, the wider the gap will be, which will help me get into the county school."
The crowd is excited and the second level of the county exam is the martial arts exam.
Harvesting chestnuts from fire and gold from molten iron, the gong is officially underway!
