Chapter 132: Cooking Forest
Chen Changsheng was slightly stunned. Whether it was reasonable or reasonable, the two of them were not very suitable for their conversation at this time, but Gou Hanshi asked casually. He had never had any disgust towards Gou Hanshi, and the casualness that the other party showed at this time made him feel even more comfortable. After thinking about it, he told his answer.
"I also think it should be the idea that Mr. Song mentioned during his lecture in Lianxi, but the order I remember is somewhat different from what you remember."
Gou Hanshi gave his answer.
After comparing the two, they found that just like at the Qingteng Banquet, the difference between the content they learned was the editing of the National Education around 1581. The Taoist scriptures learned by Chen Changsheng were an old version that had not been edited, and Gou Hanshi learned by naturally the approved version of the National Education after editing. One is the winning of the original meaning and the other is the clear meaning. It is really hard to say who is more accurate.
Even in early spring, the banks of the Shinto are covered with green trees, covering the sunshine, which is very quiet.
Chen Changsheng and Gou Hanshi were walking under the shade of the tree, while communicating with previous literary tests. The voice was not loud, and there was no fierce dispute. They were just calm discussions. They were not as people imagined as confrontation between the two strong men, but they did not have those pretentious mutual appreciation. They were just two ordinary seekers.
Not far away, Luo Luo appeared in the pavilion beside the stream behind the tree behind the tree in front.
Gou Hanshi saluted her.
Luo Luo returned the gift, then hugged Chen Changsheng's arm, and asked with concern: "Sir, are you tired?"
She didn't ask Chen Changsheng if the exam was good, because Gou Hanshi was next to him, which was not very convenient, and even more because she believed that he would be able to do well in the exam.
“Not tired.”
Chen Changsheng rubbed his wrists and asked, "When did you leave Zhaowen Palace? I haven't seen you yet.
Luo Luo held his hand and said, "I didn't do the questions, I'm having tea here."
She doesn't need grades, so she naturally won't spend her energy on the exam. She has been in the pavilion outside the hall, waiting for Chen Changsheng to hand in the papers. Chen Changsheng was a little confused and thought that since that's the case, why do you have to ask the Pope to agree to you to take the exam?
Gou Hanshi understood why, and glanced at Luoluo, feeling a little moved by Chen Changsheng's chances, and bowed to say goodbye first.
Walking into Chaoyang Garden, the lawn is vast and the woods are far away, and there is no shade to cover the sun.
Luo Luo took out an umbrella from somewhere and stretched it out to block the sun for Chen Changsheng.
Looking at this scene, the candidates standing in front of the holly bushes looked a little unnatural.
Is that young man not afraid of losing his life after being served by His Highness in this way? Many people think so.
Chen Changsheng was used to being served by Luo Luo in the National Education College. He didn't think anything was wrong. He woke up until he saw the eyes of the candidates, took the umbrella handle from Luo Luo, and took her to the holly bush, and began to listen to the teachings of the ancestral sacrificial institute to explain the rules of the martial arts examination.
Many candidates who submitted the papers in advance in the literature exam had already entered the vast holly bush forest as vast as the sea. There were only more than twenty candidates who were still outside. In addition to Chen Changsheng, Luoluo, Gou Hanshi, the four young scholars in Huaiyuan, the sea of heaven is better than snow, and some people were also there.
Listening to the teaching guide's explanation, Chen Changsheng realized that this holly shrub forest turned out to be a maze. The extremely neatly trimmed green forest was like countless barriers, separating countless roads. The first half of the martial arts examination was to see who could pass this green forest. If it could not pass within one hour, it would be eliminated.
Looking at the solemn and even fearful expressions on the faces of the candidates, Chen Changsheng was a little confused and thought that many gardens in Kyoto have similar mazes, and children can go out. Even if the green forest in Chaoyang Garden is vast and the roads are more complicated, can it be more difficult than the questions in the literary test?
"This green forest is called Moshilin."
Luo Luo knew that although he read the Taoist sect thoroughly, he did not know much about common sense that many ordinary people knew, and explained in a low voice: "It is said that at the beginning, Wang Zhice used to relax his mind while studying in Kyoto. At that time, he used pens and paper. Later, the pattern was made more and more complicated, and it became more and more difficult to pass the level. Many years later, the Pope thought that this game could inspire young people's minds and test the strength of their spiritual consciousness, so he planted a large holly shrub according to that pattern in Chaoyang Garden."
"It's very difficult?" Chen Changsheng asked.
"Wang Zhice called this game grinding because it was difficult and could polish all the time." Luoluo said.
It is difficult to make legendary figures like Wang Zhice find it difficult, but naturally it is really difficult.
Chen Changsheng thought for a while and asked, "Wang Zhice's solution should have been passed down a lot. Why haven't I seen it in the book?"
Luoluo said: "Wang Zhice used pen and paper, and relied on calculation ability. He thought this was a game path and was not worth remembering in notes, so no one knows his solution now."
Chen Changsheng looked at the endless forest and said, "When drawing pictures on paper with a pen, you can draw countless times in a short period of time. Now this picture has become so big that no matter how fast a person walks, it cannot match the speed of a pen on paper. It is really difficult to find a way to pass within one hour."
"So the spiritual sense must be strong enough."
Luoluo looked at him and said carefully: "Take the spiritual consciousness as a pen, the stronger the more you can sense the farther you want, the more you can draw the farther you want, the faster you can calculate."
"It turns out that the test was the strength of the spiritual consciousness and perception ability. I think... there is no problem."
Chen Changsheng thought about his distant life star and was very confident. Suddenly, he thought of something and asked: "There is only the only correct solution?"
If there is only one correct path, even if the candidate cannot calculate it with his spiritual sense, wouldn’t he be able to follow others?
"According to the statistics and calculations made by the Pope when he was young, there are more than 4,000 entrances and more than 700 exits in this holly shrub forest, and at least 3,927,400 solutions or ways to go. If a candidate successfully passed Naihetian on a certain route, and you unfortunately or shamelessly embarked on the same route, then I'm sorry, you must go again."
The sacrificial teaching in the ancestral hall looked at the candidates and said, "Now, we will choose our own entrance."
At this time, a young scholar in Huaiyuan asked: "As long as the route is different, can we enter from the same entrance and separate the middle?"
The ancestral scholar's teaching edict raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "No."
According to the rules of this year's martial arts examination, only candidates who pass this holly forest in Chaoyang Garden are eligible to participate in the final battle. Candidates who cannot get out will be directly eliminated, and the students who pass the first will gain great benefits in the final battle. Another particularly important rule is that the martial arts examination must be a personal battle. The Great Chao examination is to break the boundaries between academies and sects and collect outstanding young practitioners into the court and the state religion. Of course, students from various academies and sects will not be allowed to participate together. This is in a very sharp contrast with the Stone Cooking Conference.
As a famous academy in the south, Huaiyuan often participates in the dynasty test and stone boiling conference. How could he not know these rules?
The words asked by the young scholar were obviously directed at some people.
When he spoke, he kept looking at Chen Changsheng and Luoluo, and his meaning was very clear.
