Chapter 161
Everyone became anxious
"Is it stuck? Why are all the old people in the examination room motionless?"
"It’s not a still picture, they are just reviewing the questions!"
"It is indeed Xiuxian University’s method to live broadcast the test papers, but we can’t see anything yet!"
"I always feel like there's something wrong with this question……"
"……"
In major examination rooms.
The candidates held their"blank paper test papers" and were somewhat doubtful about life.
Because they found... the above questions were completely different from what they imagined.
There is no such thing as multiple-choice fill-in-the-blank questions.
There are a hundred questions in total, all short answer questions.
But even the first short answer question... was extremely difficult.
They were holding pens and thinking crazily about what they had learned in the past two months...
The so-called"question papers" they had done did not even touch the edge of the questions.
And there is a line at the beginning of the test paper. aroused their contemplation
"Every immortal cultivator is actually a great philosopher.
This is also what Qin Mu wrote specifically.
He hopes that through this exam... he can select students who are excellent enough, can think independently, and have the heart to pursue the great way.
……
Examination room 33.
Peng Siyuan looked at the first sentence at the beginning of the test paper, then looked at the first question... and found that others were the same as him.
They all look like they have no idea what to write.
He looked helplessly at James next to him.
At this moment, James was scratching his head and saying to himself:"Oh, the question is really difficult. It's over, it's over, I will definitely fail the exam now."……"
Peng Siyuan silently withdrew his gaze.
Take a deep breath.
Re-examine the question
"The first question, Zhuang Zhou dreamed of a butterfly, which was actually a magical power developed by Zhuang Zhou. Please discuss the philosophical thoughts on cultivating immortals contained in it."
Peng Siyuan recalled this allusion.
It came from Zhuangzi's"On the Equality of Things". If you ask about the origin of this allusion... he is very familiar with it. He can even recite it by heart.
But if you ask about the philosophical thoughts contained in it... he is a little confused.
As a sage, in Zhuangzi's book, many legendary Qigong practitioners are recorded.
Traveling to the North Sea in the morning, reaching Cangwu in the evening, riding the wind in the void, entering Kunlun in the west...
All kinds of bizarre immortals are recorded in it.
Many allusions were also born.
For example, Zhuang Zhou dreamed of a butterfly.
But the thoughts on cultivating immortals in it... gave Peng Siyuan a headache. Thinking of Peng Shanshan's advice, he skipped this question first and looked at the second question.
"Laozi went west through Hangu Pass, and the purple air came from the east for 30,000 miles. The Daodejing has 5,000 words. Let's try to discuss the philosophy of cultivating immortals contained in the purple air coming from the east."
Peng Siyuan swallowed his saliva.
He felt his scalp tingling.
This one was more difficult than the previous one.
He could only continue to read on.……
"The third question: In ancient times, Chang'e swallowed the elixir and soared. Try to discuss the philosophy of immortality behind Chang'e's flight to the moon."
"Question 4: There were ten suns in the sky, and Hou Yi shot them down. Please discuss the philosophy of Xiuxian contained in Hou Yi's shooting down the suns."
Peng Siyuan scratched his hair and picked up the pen... his mind suddenly became a mess.
He didn't know how to answer these questions.
These... were indeed the contents of the ancient books given by Xiuxian University.
But the angle of the question... was too tricky.
It wasn't just Peng Siyuan.
Other candidates reacted exactly the same way.
…… after an hour.
In the ninety-nine examination rooms, no one wrote.
They are still reading the questions.
But the audience in the live broadcast room became restless
"It's been an hour, why hasn't anyone moved?"
"The question won't be so abnormal this time, right?"
"So what exactly are the questions on this exam?"
"@Xiuxian University, can you tell me what the questions of this exam are?"
"……"
These audiences are more anxious than the candidates.
Some people even wanted Qin Mu to reveal the title. certainly.
Of course Qin Mu would ignore them.
Inside Xiuxian University.
Qin Mu waved his hand, and the examination scene in the Xumijiazi space appeared in front of his eyes.
"No one really started writing?"
Qin Mu smiled helplessly.
The question he asked this time... was indeed a bit tricky.
But this is indeed the best way to test.
In fact, these ancient allusions... all contain some philosophical principles of cultivators' practice.
For example, Chang'e flying to the moon implies that early cultivators, at the beginning of their practice, longed to fly, travel the world, and yearn for freedom.
Under the impetus of this idea, early Qigong practitioners were able to open up the mountains and forests with great difficulty and create a brilliant and rich culture of immortal cultivation.
The same is true for Houyi shooting down the sun.
It implies that when cultivators encounter severe natural disasters, they are not afraid of natural disasters, fight hard, and even... take the initiative to attack and go against the will of heaven.
Others, such as Kuafu chasing the sun, Jingwei filling the sea, and Nuwa mending the sky, all have their own profound philosophical implications.
"It seems that the number of people who can pass this assessment... will not exceed a thousand."
Qin Mu glanced at the ninety-nine examination rooms and made a simple estimate.
He focused on Chu Yu, the old man who had done good deeds and accumulated a lot of merit.
He found that he was also frowning, and he was obviously there. Think hard
……
During the second hour of the exam.
Finally someone started taking action.
They stuttered and began to answer the questions.
But the look on the face is the same as constipation.
Especially James in Examination Room 33.
While answering the question, he muttered:"It's over, it's over, I will definitely be eliminated this time."……"
"This question is too difficult. I can't do it. I can't do it at all. I can only make it up.……"
"Hiss...what is this topic? How do I know this? I can only continue to make it up.……"
Peng Siyuan next to him was upset.
Without any choice.
Peng Siyuan raised his hand silently.
The invigilator came over immediately
"What's up?"
The person in charge of Examination Room 33 is Zhang Qingyuan. He is quite familiar with Peng Siyuan.
Peng Siyuan immediately pointed to James next to him and said:"He is too noisy."
James:"……"
Zhang Qingyuan glared at him and hummed:"Be careful to maintain discipline in the examination room and don't make any noise!"
James stopped talking.
But looking at him... he seems to be feeling very uncomfortable.
