Chapter 136: Young Man From the Mountains

The rules of the literary test have always been very arbitrary. As for the principle of avoiding the first place, it was not within the scope of the original thinking. It is because of this kind of thing that there has never been a person who ranked first and won the first place in the literary test.

Although Chen Chao had always believed in Xie Nandu, thinking about the rules of the literary test and the top few, Chen Chao's face became a little ugly.

When he was placing bets last night, he actually didn't buy much on Zhu Xia's side, so if he lost, he would lose. But on Xie Nandu's side, he had greatly reduced his own net worth.

If Xie Nandu fails to top the list in the end, he will really lose a lot of money.

"No, no."

Chen Chao frowned and shook his head.

Chen Chao turned around and found that Weng Quan was also crying, and then asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"My subordinates also listened to the commander's words and suppressed their salaries over the years. If something happens to this, how will I spend the rest of my life!"

The sadness in Weng Quan's heart at this moment is far more than that of Chen Chao. He is not as good as Chen Chao. The little money he has in his hand has been saved little by little over the years. If something goes wrong, then what will happen to him? For him, it was the real blow.

Chen Chao patted his shoulder and said sympathetically, "If this day comes, remember to bring a knife to Mr. Song."

After saying this, he walked towards the lake.

Weng Quan stood there, somewhat in a trance.

Just as Chen Chao was heading towards the lake, an exclamation suddenly sounded from the lake, "It's a tie!"

As this voice sounded, the monks in the pavilion came to the railing one after another, and the monks by the lake also looked here. It was obvious that just these three words were extremely remarkable and attracted all their attention. force.

"It's actually a tie!"

There was a monk by the lake looking at the literary examination venue over there with some disbelief.

Chen Chao stood in the crowd and asked sincerely, "What is a tie?"

His question actually seemed a bit idiotic, but at the moment everyone was paying attention to the lakeside, so no one cared.

Someone soon gave the answer, "The questions in each literary test are fixed. If the best people answer the same questions correctly, it will be a tie. However, such a thing rarely happens because it is difficult. There will be two people who answer the same question correctly at the same time, and they are the best two."

"This game has many top players from the previous game. A tie is not a particularly rare thing. I just don't know how many people tied."

r>  "I think there must be that girl from the academy. She handed in the paper yesterday. She is the fastest."

"I don't know, just look at it."

Obviously, this tie has attracted the attention of countless people.

Originally, there were not many monks who came to watch the literary test. Most of them just cheered for their friends and classmates. No one really paid attention to the literary test itself. However, this draw in the literary test was a rare situation, which made everyone energetic. .

Soon, news came from the lakeside. There were actually four people tied in this game, three of whom were yesterday's toppers, and one person, although not the top one, also became one of the four.

"Which question did they get wrong?"

Someone asked, very curious.

"No, they all answered correctly and no one got the question wrong."

After hearing this, the crowd fell silent briefly, and after a while, someone said with emotion, "It's amazing."

Being able to answer all the questions correctly is already an amazing thing, but it is even more amazing that four of them appeared at the same time.

People nodded.

"It's worth seeing."

People are very emotional.

…

…

This kind of situation has never happened in the history of literary examination.

So naturally there is a solution.

Since it's a tie, let's try again.

The monk in charge brought new test questions and handed them out. There were even fewer questions, only three.

It's just that it's obviously more difficult than the previous questions.

Xie Nandu sat at the table and looked at the questions on the test paper. She was silent for a long time. The first two questions were very common questions for her, but the last one seemed not so ordinary.

That question is still about the demon clan.

Xie Nandu looked at that question very seriously.

The other three people looked at the question very seriously.

There was a young monk among them who had no problems with the first two questions, but when it came to the last question, there was some light in his eyes.

Time passed little by little, and there were already two young people

The monks bit the bullet and started to answer the questions. They were not sure about the first two questions, let alone the last one.

Xie Nandu thought for a long time, then reached out to pick up the brush, dipped it in the ink, then raised it and began to answer.

In the pavilion further away, there was a real big shot watching this scene.

"This disciple of the dean is really good. His level is still low now, but he will definitely achieve great achievements in the future."

Someone spoke, and his voice was full of admiration.

"Daliang Dynasty has produced a true genius. I think she is full of spiritual energy. She is naturally an excellent seedling for spiritual practice. She is also willing to work hard and her future is limitless. However, such a seedling should have gone abroad to seek enlightenment. Although the dean is considered a famous teacher, Liang Chao is not good enough in the world. If things go on like this, he will probably wear away her aura."

That is the master of the Tianshou Temple, and what he cultivates is the same as the Wantian Palace.

"Just talking about women, I'm afraid there won't be many people in the outside world who can catch up with her in the future. However, the Saint Lady is afraid that your disciple, the Great Immortal, is not afraid of her."

The head of Tianshou Temple looked at the old man of Wantian Palace.

The old man smiled and said, "There are many talents in the outside world. It's not like Zhu Xia can be mentioned. The girl surnamed Xie is really as you said, very amazing. If not, how could the old dean use the last quota to accept a woman?"

Tian Shou Temple said with some worry, "Speaking of the dean, I'm afraid we have to pay more attention. The academy has produced a Wei Xu in these years. We didn't expect that the dean has so many disciples. It's hard to say that there is no second Wei Xu somewhere."

Many outside monks are unwilling to see the growing strength of the Daliang Dynasty.

They don't need a secular dynasty to be too powerful, because the more powerful it is, the more difficult it is to control.

This is not what they want.

The development of Daliang Dynasty in recent years has indeed exceeded their expectations. Under the governance of successive Daliang emperors, this dynasty has gradually prospered and is no longer comparable to the previous dynasties.

Especially now that the Daliang emperor has entered the capital of gods as a vassal king, his attitude towards the monks outside the world has quietly changed.

Now there are so many monks willing to come to the capital of gods for the Wanliu Club, but it is not necessarily just for the Wanliu Club.

More people want to see what changes there are in Daliang today.

The old man glanced at the master of Tianshou Temple, shook his head, and said nothing more, but just looked back at the lakeside.

Now the answering of the questions by the lake has ended.

But the four people, including Xie Nandu, did not leave. They had to wait here to see the winner, and it was hard to say whether they should continue after that.

The monk in charge took the test paper and went away, and soon brought two more test papers. He looked at two of the young men and said, "You are eliminated."

The two had long thought that this would happen to them, so they were not too surprised. After sighing, they bowed and left.

The monk in charge handed out the two test papers in his hand and said, "There are still three questions here. Please continue to answer. If you want to give up, you can."

…

…

The news quickly spread from the lakeside, and the crowd became very silent.

After a long time, someone said, "Who would have thought that it would be a tie again."

"Yeah, this kind of thing seems to have never happened before."

"The probability of two ties in the same match is really small, but the girl from the academy can do this, which shows that there are geniuses in the Liang Dynasty."

"What genius? Is it just that she reads more books? Can this be called a genius?"

"After all, she can remember after reading. The questions are so tricky, but it didn't stump her, right?"

"Maybe it's just luck, she just happened to have read these books."

The crowd's voices were mixed, and Chen Chao listened without showing any emotions. He just looked at the lakeside, thinking that if there was only one opponent, he still believed in Xie Nandu and there would definitely be no problem.

But not long after, news came from the lakeside again.

"Another tie?!"

"How is it possible? When did such a thing happen?"

"It's true. This time, the two even put down their pens at the same time."

"That girl from the academy looks like she has read a lot of books, but who is the other person? Why don't I know him?!"

"He should be from the Taiping Dao lineage. It seems that the sect is called Yueyin Temple. It is located among the mountains in the south. It is just a second-rate sect. Not many monks came to participate in the Wanliu Club this time."

"What is the name of the Taoist priest?"

"Gu Ming!"
