Chapter 137 Three Lives and All Things
"Come over for inspection first."

Wang Zixu glanced at the people queuing. Most of them were fresh graduates. They looked harmless and had no desire to resist the girl's bossing.

"Come here, what's wrong? Are you afraid?"

Wang Zixu said: "I'll queue up."

Lu Qingxuan said: "I am here to draw the judge's seat, you don't have to worry about other people, just come over."

Wang Zixu didn't know what random interrogation was, but he still walked over. The girl hooked her hair with her fingers, took the document bag he handed over, and nimbly moved her fingers around the sealing line.

"Not a fresh graduate, applied for the Chinese Department, born in 1993."

Lu Qingxuan raised her eyebrows and glanced at Wang Zixu: "Are you 30 years old?"

This was the second time today that someone had used his age as an issue. Wang Zixu remained calm: "What's wrong?"

Lu Qingxuan said briefly, "Nothing," and continued to look down at the information.

"Don't want to be transferred? In your situation, I suggest you accept the transfer." Lu Qingxuan said.

Wang Zixu said: "Thank you, but it's not necessary."

If he were transferred, Zhao Peilin would strangle him to death without Professor Zhong having to do anything.

Lu Qingxuan raised her dark eyes and said, "You are not a major student, right? I have to remind you that the Chinese Department of our school's graduate entrance examination is self-designed, and it pays great attention to literary accumulation, and never reads from the textbook. In the graduate entrance examination community, it has always been called a catastrophic difficulty by students who are not major students. In the past five years, the admission rate of non-majors has been only 5%.

"You are already 30 years old. Considering your age, time is very tight, right? If you just want to get a diploma, Jiangda is actually the best choice. Over the years, the admission score of Jiangda has always been one level lower than that of our school. If you transfer, even if you can't get into our school, you still have a chance to go there. I suggest you transfer."

There was light in Lu Qingxuan's eyes. She stared at him intently, her brows slightly furrowed, like a beautiful policewoman staring at a prisoner.

What she said was indeed reasonable to most people. Not only was it reasonable, but it was also well-reasoned, eloquent, and even her voice was very gentle.

The problem is that it is not suitable for Wang Zixu.

"Sorry, I don't adjust."

Wang Zixu said this, and the girl looked very unhappy, as if all her words just now were in vain. She silently sorted out the remaining information, and her technique was more vigorous than before.

“File these.”

The tool boy came over, took the information from Lu Qingxuan, and whispered to Wang Zixu: "This is Lu Qingxuan, the top student in our Chinese department, the top scorer in the college entrance examination. It's better to listen to her words. She has said so much, right? You don't appreciate it."

Wang Zixu raised his head and thought for a while, then looked down at Lu Qingxuan: "How much knowledge do I need to accumulate to be able to pass the postgraduate entrance examination of Nanjing University?"

Lu Qingxuan chuckled: "There is no such thing as a safe entrance exam for Nanjing University. As for what content to accumulate, I can only say that it covers everything from ancient times to the present, both at home and abroad."

Wang Zixu said: "If it's just about ancient and modern times, China and foreign countries, then I should be able to pass it."

Lu Qingxuan was slightly stunned, then smiled and said: "I'm sorry, this is probably a field that you science students can't understand very well. What I'm talking about is not the things that everyone is familiar with.

"Not only should you read The Analects, but you should also read The Four Books with Annotations; not only should you read The Songs of Chu, but you should also read The Supplement to The Songs of Chu; not only should you read The Book of Songs, but you should also read The Book of Songs with Annotations.

"The Literary Mind and the Carving of Dragons," "Complete Works of Li Bai," "Detailed Annotations to Du Fu's Poems," "Annotated Poems by Yuxi Sheng," and so on can only be considered entry-level works. Names like Yu Zishan, Jiang Baishi, and Wu Mengchuang, which are not even familiar to ordinary young intellectuals, must be read thoroughly. The above are just the 'ancient' fields of ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad."

Lu Qingxuan finished speaking in one breath, staring straight at Wang Zixu with a faint smile on her lips, wanting to see if he was frightened, but was disappointed to find no expression on his face.

Wang Zixu said: "Oh, it's good. What other things are there in China and abroad now?"

A strange expression appeared on Lu Qingxuan's face. The boy who was working as a tool beside him was greatly surprised. The other postgraduate students who were being examined all pricked up their ears and gathered around.

Many of them were cross-examination candidates. Regardless of whether they were cross-examination candidates or not, it was always good to hear more information. The line gradually became longer and longer, and the flow of people began to stagnate.

Lu Qingxuan said in a crisp voice: "Foreign literature, let's not talk about the complete works of Shakespeare, but the works of the three great tragic writers and philosophers of ancient Greece, you must have read them all, right? In addition, there are Aristophanes, Virgil, and Dante. Don Quixote is needless to say, Goethe, Byron, Shelley, Pushkin, Baudelaire, Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, Sholokhov, and Pasternak, you must have read them all, right?

"Have you read Camus, Sartre, and Nietzsche, the writers that young people like to show off the most? As for Faulkner, Joyce, and Calvino, you may not be familiar with them. I don't ask you to read all the works that won the Nobel Prize for Literature, but it should be okay to read the important works among them, right?"

After Lu Qingxuan finished speaking, Wang Zixu hadn't reacted yet, but the other people in the queue started to sweat on their foreheads.

Some people took out their notebooks to write down the information, and some smarter ones took out their phones to record the information. However, most people could only follow 30% of the information, and most of them failed when they reached 50%.

Lu Qingxuan spoke very fast, and the faster she spoke, the stronger the effect of persuading people to quit. Many people who were originally full of confidence and had not been afraid even though they had heard many people complaining about the difficulty in various communication groups before, were now afraid.

Some even quit before submitting their application. It's so funny. Change your major while you still have a chance.

Lu Qingxuan raised her head and looked at Wang Zixu, but Wang Zixu remained motionless.

"Have you read all of these yourself?" Wang Zixu asked curiously.

"Of course. I had read most of them when I was in high school, and after college I just did some additional reading." Lu Qingxuan said, "I have a good relationship with many university professors, and I have already considered studying for a master's degree at my school."

The boy who was working as a tool next to him took the opportunity to say, "Qingxuan is amazing. She will be admitted to graduate school soon."

Lu Qingxuan rolled her eyes: "Don't open the champagne in advance."

The tool boy shut his mouth pitifully.

Lu Qingxuan turned around and said, "If you have only read 50% of them, or have never even heard of some of the names, I don't recommend you to apply for this major in our school. You will definitely not be admitted."

"It's okay, I've seen 120%." Wang Zixu smiled faintly.

Lu Qingxuan fell silent. The boy next to him started to grumble again: "Everyone can brag."

"I'm not bragging. From what I heard from her just now, it's just entry-level." Wang Zixu said with a smile, "There was a little girl who kept whispering these things to me. I had already read most of them when I was in high school."

Lu Qingxuan stared at him for a long time (this girl really likes to stare at people), and then suddenly smiled.

"You know, it doesn't matter how much you brag about yourself, but you shouldn't compete with me. I'm getting competitive."

Wang Zixu was wondering how he could compare to her, when he heard her say:

"Okay, let's take a test. You said you've read it all, so you should know some basic literary knowledge, right?"

Wang Zixu nodded: "Probably."

"Then let's play the word 'three'." Lu Qingxuan said.

"How do you connect it?"

"Talk about the words containing 'three' in ancient Chinese texts. Not only must they contain 'three', but you must also say which three they are. Whoever can't think of them within 10 seconds loses." Lu Qingxuan said.

"Great." said Wang Zixu.

More and more people came to watch the fun. The people in charge of reviewing in other queues stopped what they were doing.

Lu Qingxuan said: "Then I'll let you do it, I'll go first, the Three Talents, Heaven, Earth and Man."

"Three lights, sun, moon and stars?"

"Yes, that's it." Lu Qingxuan smiled slightly, "Three cardinal guides, ruler and subject loyalty."

"Three things are described in the form of fu, bi, and xing." said Wang Zixu.

Lu Qingxuan said: "The three religions are Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism."

Wang Zixu said: "The Three Kingdoms: Wei, Shu, and Wu."

"Three Officials: The Official of Xin'an, The Official of Shihao, and The Official of Tongguan."

“Three Farewells: ‘Farewell to a Newly Married Woman’, ‘Farewell to a Homeless Woman’ and ‘Farewell to an Old Man’.”

After Wang Zixu finished speaking, he sighed and muttered, "How long will this last?"

Lu Qingxuan squinted at him and said, "So you have a lot of inventory?"

"There are so many of them, so vast and mighty." "Hmph, stop talking nonsense. The Three Sovereigns Yao, Shun, and Yu."

"The Three Dynasties of Xia, Shang and Zhou."

"Three Dukes: Grand Tutor, Grand Preceptor, and Grand Protector."

"Three officials: Situ, Sima, and Sikong."

"The three ministries are the Secretariat, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of State Affairs."

"The three prefectures are Jingzhao Yin, Zuo Fengyi, and You Fufeng."

“Three mountains: Huangshan, Lushan and Yandang.”

"The Three Gorges: Qutang Gorge, Xiling Gorge, and Wu Gorge."

"Three islands, Penglai, Yingzhou, and Fangzhang."

"The Three Wus: Wujun, Wuxing, and Kuaiji."

Lu Qingxuan still looked at Wang Zixu with discontentment, but this time her eyes were a little more serious.

The tool boy dared not say a word. He knew at least half of what they said, and even if he knew the other half, he would not be able to answer it as quickly as they did.

Lu Qingxuan continued: "Three rivers, the Yangtze River, the Yellow River, and the Lancang River."

Wang Zixu said: "Three prizes: Jieyuan, Huiyuan and Zhuangyuan."

"The Three Classics: Zuo Zhuan, Guliang, and Gongyang."

"The three rituals are Zhouli, Yili, and Liji."

"The Three Caos, Cao Cao, Cao Pi, and Cao Zhi."

"The Three Su's: Su Xun, Su Shi, and Su Zhe."

"The Three Yuans, Yuan Zongdao, Yuan Hongdao, and Yuan Zhongdao."

"Thank you three times: Thank you Lingyun, Thank you Huilian, and Thank you Tiao."

Lu Qingxuan's expression became more solemn, and his breathing became uneven.

She didn't know how much Wang Zixu had in stock, but judging from how relaxed he was, he might have a lot. But she really didn't have much left.

"Three Pure Ones: Jade Pure One, Upper Pure One, and Great Pure One."

Wang Zixu said: "There are many 'three's in Taoism and Buddhism. Are you sure you want to talk about this one?"

Lu Qingxuan was a little confused. She didn't remember that there were many "threes" in Taoism and Buddhism. The Three Talents, the Three Lights and the Three Pure Ones were probably all she knew.

But having said that, it was impossible to show weakness, and how did she know that the other person was not pretending?

Lu Qingxuan said coldly: "If you know, then you know. If you don't know, just say so. The ten seconds are almost up."

Wang Zixu said: "The three qi are mysterious, origin and beginning. The three births are ears, eyes and heart. The three pure heavens are Qingwei Heaven, Yuyu Heaven and Dachi Heaven."

Lu Qingxuan said anxiously: "You broke the rules! You said so much in one breath, do you think I can't keep up?"

The prince smiled and said, "No, I just said it all in one breath because I was afraid I would forget."

Lu Qingxuan blushed and said, "That can't be counted as three, it can only be counted as one. What if you answered the question that others already knew? It can only be counted as one."

Wang Zixu smiled even more. He knew that when a girl started to cheat, it meant that she felt she was going to lose.

So he said generously: "Okay, it only counts as one."

Lu Qingxuan had some inspiration and continued, "The three poisons are greed, anger and ignorance."

Wang Zixu said: "The three studies are precepts, concentration and wisdom."

As expected, he answered the question that she knew. Lu Qingxuan was sweating slightly, biting her lip, and was about to speak when a burst of applause suddenly broke out outside.

"it is good!"

Someone shouted, and the two realized that more and more people were gathering and had blocked the door.

Lu Qingxuan's face turned serious, and she turned around and said to the spectators inside the door: "What are you doing? People are going to come in to register, but you are blocking the door. How can they get in? And you, hurry up and check the information. After checking the information, hurry up and urge people to leave. What are you doing standing here?"

Wang Zixu said, "We were a little too flamboyant, so we can't blame others for watching the fun. Have you finished the exam? My skills should be pretty good, right? Should we call it a day today?"

Lu Qingxuan pouted: "This is a competition, not a test. What, your inventory is empty, you want to escape?"

Wang Zixu said, "There are many more."

"Oh," Lu Qingxuan smiled contemptuously. Now she really didn't believe it. "It won't be too late to retreat after the victory or defeat. It doesn't look like it will take long."

"Okay, whatever you want. I'll keep you company. But it's your turn just now."

Lu Qingxuan blushed and said quickly: "Three Treasures, Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha."

Wang Zixu said: "The Three Canons are Sutras, Vinaya, and Abhidharma."

Lu Qingxuan said: "Three bodies, Dharma body, reward body, and incarnation body."

Wang Zixu said: "The three realms are the realm of desire, the realm of form, and the realm of formlessness."

"..."

Lu Qingxuan's eyes rolled around, beads of sweat were faintly visible on her forehead, her hair stuck to her cheeks, and her breathing was completely disordered. It was obvious that she had reached her limit.

Wang Zixu lowered his head: "10 seconds are almost up."

"Three, three... three corpses..."

When Lu Qingxuan said this, he was stuck in his shell.

She spoke when she thought of the "three corpses", but she didn't know which three corpses they were.

Wang Zixu smiled slightly: "Three corpses squatting, stepping, and jumping. You have answered this one."

"..." Lu Qingxuan said shamelessly, "It's your turn."

Wang Zixu lowered his head and thought for a few seconds. Lu Qingxuan saw the opportunity and immediately asked, "Why, you finally ran out of ammunition and food?"

Wang Zixu raised his head and said, "You were the one who said it first. If I want to win, I have to say one more thing than you, right?"

Lu Qingxuan said, "Of course, but I'm afraid you can't tell any of them. Also, you're stalling for time, and the 10 seconds are up. Since I exceeded 10 seconds once just now, I'll let you go and give you another 10 seconds."

Wang Zixu wasted no time: "Three caves: cave of truth, cave of mystery, cave of spirit. Three consciousnesses: true consciousness, present consciousness, and discriminating consciousness. Three retributions: retribution in this life, retribution in the next life, and retribution in the next life. Three Dharma seals: impermanence of all phenomena, no self in all phenomena, and nirvana is tranquility. Three great joys: wedding night, passing the imperial examination, and meeting an old friend in a foreign land. Three great sorrows: losing one's father when young, losing one's husband when middle-aged, and losing one's son when old."

After saying that, Wang Zixu looked at the stunned Lu Qingxuan and said, "I still have ten thousand things to say. Do you want to continue the competition?"

The corners of Lu Qingxuan's mouth twitched, and she hesitated for a long time, but couldn't say "You win".

The boy next to her looked at her, then at Wang Zixu. This was the perfect time for a hero to save a beautiful girl. He wanted to step forward to take over the challenge and save Lu Qingxuan's reputation, but he was far inferior to her in level and couldn't even think of a new "three".

At this moment, there was sudden applause from outside the door.

"As expected of Wang Zixu, the leader of the Xihe Literary Society. But Lu Qingxuan, I finally managed to get him here. Why are you making things difficult for him?"
