Forty: How to Sacrifice the Dao Heart

At the order of Jiang Taichuan, eight examiners led the patrol officers and soldiers to distribute the question papers, and the thousand exam papers were distributed in a quarter of an hour.

The question sheet is one inch thick, most of which are pasted with the meaning of the scriptures, and ten pieces of white paper are the answer sheets of practice.

Li Buzhuo got the question paper and opened it to read the practice questions.

"How to sacrifice and refine the heart of Tao?"

Immediately, the original text of the Taoist Tibetan Buddhism appeared in Li Buzhuo's mind: "Those who think are for sacrifices, and those who think are for refining."

It is the most troublesome to solve the questions. Li Buzhuo will not think about it carefully for the time being. He will press the practice questions to the bottom. He will pick up the first picture of the scriptures, lift up the flower-brush, dip it ink, and start answering the questions.

"Parent in the sky, wear golden scarf, ride in Kuigang, enter the Doumen, go to the real person, worship Huachen..."

Whenever I see a question, the original text of Kanyuan Collection, which I have already mastered, appears in my mind. Li Buzhuo concentrates his attention and writes it slowly, ensuring that he will not make any typos.

If you write a wrong word, you can use an ink ball to apply it, but whether the roll surface is neat is also one of the scoring criteria for pasting scriptures. Even if there are no errors and more than five ink balls, you cannot be evaluated on the abbreviation.

The high-quality medicinal ink is extremely awake, with a light fragrance, and the ink traces are condensed but not dissipated, which is very beautiful.

The title of the scriptures was gradually filled with eight-point book. Li Buzhuo's handwriting was quite as charming as Jiang Taichuan's handwriting when he was young, and he also had a sharp aura of breaking the formation and rushing.

The postings of the county examination are similar to those of the county school monthly examination, but the difference is that the number of questions is five times more. Li Buzhuo answered later and found that not only the original text was tested, but also new changes were also made.

For example, a question asks: "Who is the disciples accepted by the eighth ancestor of Xiyimen in the 16th year of Jianwu and where are they?"

Xiyimen is the ancestral court of Guizhen Sect. The eighth-generation ancestor of Xiyimen was surnamed Kou and had a name Liang. He was one of the ancient saints of Xuanmen and had many disciples.

This topic is not clearly recorded in the collection of Investigation of the Yuan Dynasty, but it can be inferred from some scriptures.

After Li Buzhuo pondered for a moment, two scriptures appeared in his mind.

In the biography of Xu Jun, a real person from Leipingshan, the Ministry of Continuing the Sutras and Teachings, mentioned that in the 16th year of Jianwu, Xu Jun talked to his friends. When they talked about Kou Zu, Xu Jun said: "My teacher went to Piazze Mountain and traveled to the clouds and did not return."

Xu Jun, the real person in Leipingshan, was a disciple of Kou Zu. From this we can see that the eighth ancestor of Xiyimen was in Puze Mountain in the 16th year of Jianwu.

Another scripture in the Department of Continuing the Sutras and Teachings records the biography of another disciple of Kou Zu, Jian Lushan Zhenren, Lu Jun, which mentioned that Lu Jun was born in Daze Township, the foot of the mountain in the sixth year of Jianwu. He was taken to the disciple of Kou Zu at the age of ten, which coincided with the time when Kou Zu went to travel to Mount Lai Ze in the Biography of Xu of Leiping Mountain.

Li Buzhuo then picked up his pen and wrote: "In the 16th year of Jianwu, Kou Zu acquired Jian Lu Jun, a real man from Lushan, as his disciple in Daze Township, the foot of the mountain of Lieze Mountain."

Then answer the quoted classics: "The biography of Xu Jun, the real person in Leipingshan, the Ministry of Sutras and Teachings, is said... The biography of Lu Jun, the real person in Lushan, is said..."

This question is complete.

The county trial trial has sixteen pages and three hundred and sixty-five questions, and there is not much space for answering questions, so candidates must write small characters on the answer to the scriptures, which not only tests memory, but also energy.

After an hour of the exam, someone started to scratch his cheeks and bit the pen. Some people lacked internal energy. After passing the two levels of the Fajia Jin Seal and the Holy Image, they were exhausted. They were in a daze. They accidentally knocked over the inkstone when they picked up the floor-based question paper. All the answers before were invalid. They couldn't help but sit on the ground and cried. They were knocked out and taken away by the soldiers in the patrol. If they had good luck, they would be thrown out of the examination room. If they were not lucky, they would be charged with "disturbing the order of the examination room" and squatted in the slogan for a few days.

Some people were stumped by a question and couldn't meditate, so they skipped it for now. As a result, the more they reached the later question, the more difficult it became. Before the results were released, they knew that they would have no hope, so they were stunned and dazed.

On the high platform, the scene below was completely visible. Jiang Taichuan was used to the sadness of losing his hard work for ten years. Although he sympathized with it, he did not regret it. The survival of the fittest has been like this since ancient times, so he focused on the few people who were confident.

Fang Xingyun wrote very fast, flowing water, and there were stumpy questions that only pondered for no more than five breaths, so he gave up decisively and continued to answer the questions later. Jiang Taichuan nodded and said softly: "It's good to be able to choose and know how to advance and retreat."

Jiang Taichuan's eyes glanced over Fu Ying again, and saw that the saint's disciple Sun glanced at any question and answered without thinking. He praised: "Fu Lingjun accepted a good disciple. I thought I was wrong with nine questions when I applied for the county exam, so how could he be so relaxed? Brother Bai, how many questions did you try and wrong in the county then?"

"I don't check one question for a while, because I write a word wrong because of a typo."

Jiang Taichuan's eyebrows shook, and the county exam question was 365 questions, the more he got, the more he became more and more tricky. Even if he could remember the genius who memorized the entire Taoist hiding, he would have to work hard to deduce it later. When he was stumped by the county exam question, he should give up and leave his energy to Mo Yi and practice.

"It's a pity that Brother Bai is good at that, he is the first person to post all the scriptures since the Tiangong found the imperial examination."

…………

"I've finally finished answering the posting..."

Li Buzhuo put down the flower-brush pen, rubbed his sore wrists, relaxed his breath, and then began to check the answer sheet when the ink marks were dried.

After checking it, I saw that the answer sheet was densely packed, but it was orderly and pleasing to the eye, and there were no typos or corrections.

After all the scriptures are posted, the next step is Mo Yi. Mo Yi wants to annotate the scriptures. Li Buzhuo read the annotations of the Xiaodao Collection by several Xuanmen ancestors. It is not the same as when the monthly exams of Yong'an County in Yong'an County were two months ago. However, Mo Yi cannot be answered well by rote memorizing. The same annotations are common in the eyes of different document reviewers.

Mo Yi does not have the so-called "right or wrong" and cannot be demanding perfection.

When Li Buzhuo answered Mo Yi carefully, he began to solve the problem of practicing.

The county trial training questions were drafted by the Grand Secretary of the Dingtian Palace. They were not purely fair, but also had certain checks and balances. The question "How to sacrifice and refine the mind of Tao" in the practice paper in front of Li Buzhuo is difficult or not, but not easy.

Taoist sacrifice and refining has always been a popular topic at Qi Refining Masters' Dharma Assembly. Youzhou candidates are familiar with these four words and will not be unable to write. However, the more such test questions are, the more difficult it is to stand out and write new ideas. The truth has been explained by others. What new things are there to be said?

After Li Buzhuo answered the 90 questions of Mo Yi, his belly was empty, and the sky in the examination room had dimmed slightly. The officers and soldiers of the patrol walked through the examination room one by one, gradually lit up the paper and lanterns.

When answering Mo Yi, Li Buzhuo also had an idea on how to answer the question "How to sacrifice and refine the heart of Tao".

When answering this kind of question, you must first avoid "making it big". The whole article talks about great principles, which seem to be mysterious and great ways, but they are all general words and nothing to say.

In addition, we have to learn from the experience of our predecessors, but we cannot read the subject according to the script and answer it too old-fashionedly. Although we will not miss the question in this way, we will not be able to get a good ranking, so we should not be promoted.
