Martial Cultivator

After the sixth tie, the seventh comparison between the two people became two people setting questions for each other. In fact, it has many meanings, and it is by no means a simple comparison. When two people set questions by themselves, they have to think a lot and go. Looking for each other's weakest point, so at first they both chose the question about sword cultivation.

It's just that Gu Ming never thought that the girl from the academy had actually been interested in the method of sword cultivation before the Wanliu Society began. She was already a sword cultivator now, but she didn't publicize such a thing everywhere. Those who are involved in this matter are even less likely to talk about it everywhere, so there are still only a few people who know about this matter at this moment.

Therefore, the question raised by Gu Ming was not difficult for Xie Nandu, and she quickly gave the answer.

As the bell rang, the two handed over again.

The scholar's reputation in the spiritual world is not shallow, not because of his high level of cultivation, but because he has studied for many years and has dabbled in various classics. It can really be said that he has learned from ancient times to the present, otherwise the literary test will not be enough. He would not be invited from the far south to give questions. Now that he has received the seventh test paper from the two of them, the scholar frowned slightly, with a lot of approval in his eyes.

In terms of the question, both of them had made some calculations, otherwise they would not have chosen the sword cultivation method at the same time.

It's just the result.

Maybe it disappointed both of them.

The scholar smiled and said, "The seventh time, it's a tie."

He looked at the two young people and sighed with emotion. Very few people in the spiritual world would waste their time on this, so there are very few people who can truly be said to have studied ancient and modern times. But although the two young people in front of him There is still some distance to go, but it is definitely better than most in the world.

As the new white paper reappeared on their desks, the eighth competition between the two began.

The competition does not start from the moment you answer the question, but from the time the question is asked.

It was already sunset, and the setting sun in the distance cast a golden glow on the lake, and also fell on the girl's face. There were beads of sweat falling from Xie Nandu's cheeks from her collar. She was not nervous or in any other emotion, just because she had stepped on the lake. I haven't been practicing for a long time, so I'm just a little hot.

In the midsummer of the Divine Capital, the temperature is very high, but everyone is a monk, so no one cares. When Xie Nandu went out earlier, he brought a talisman with him to cool down. This is what many people in the Divine Capital use in summer. The means to escape the heat is not too expensive and can be purchased at street shops. A single talisman can keep the temperature down for two or three hours.

At that time, Xie Nandu thought that she would leave soon after taking an literary test and return to the academy. However, she never expected that it would last until now. Now that the talisman has expired, she finally felt it by the lakeside.

Get rid of the heat.

Some beads of sweat even dripped onto the blank white paper.

Xie Nandu frowned slightly, feeling that if he continued like this, he wouldn't even have time to go back for dinner, so he thought about it seriously.

She began to carefully recall all the questions that had been asked in the previous seven competitions, and looked for the opponent's weaknesses in those questions.

After a while, she started to write, and soon a topic appeared under her pen.

As the bell rang, both men stopped writing.

A monk picked up the questions asked by the two and handed them to the other party.

Gu Ming saw the mark on the test paper at a glance, and after thinking for a moment, he understood that it was the reason for the sweat drops.

Although his talent was average and he had to study, after all, he had been practicing for many years and had already passed the first level. He would not care about these summer feelings, but thinking about the rumored girl who had just started practicing, he felt a little uncomfortable for her.

But when he came back to his senses and looked down at the test paper in front of him, he felt uncomfortable.

There is a question above.

A very common question.

This question cannot be said to be tricky, let alone lonely and unpopular. In fact, it is a very common question about spiritual practice.

It can't be said to be difficult.

The only problem was that it was so simple and ordinary that he couldn't remember the answer right away.

When preparing for the Wanliuhui literary test, many practitioners will look for those things that are lonely and unpopular and that not many people know about. They will spend a lot of energy for this, but that's it, so they will focus on the most obvious things. , on the contrary, they will forget and cannot remember.

This is the case now.

It's so ordinary.

It was so unusual that Gu Ming knew clearly that he must have seen it and knew the answer, but at the moment he couldn't remember it no matter what. He went through all the things in his mind, but in the end he still didn't get what he wanted. Want something.

As time passed, more and more beads of sweat formed on Gu Ming's forehead, and his face became more and more ugly.

He held the pen in his hand, but couldn't put it down.

He couldn't answer this question, so he could only hope that the girl couldn't answer his question either.

The question he asked was also extremely unpopular, and I'm afraid it would be difficult for ordinary people to know the answer, but the girl was indeed not an ordinary person, so he was a little unsure.

Until the bell rang slowly.

Gu Mingcai put down the pen in his hand. He didn't answer because he really didn't know the answer.

Someone took away his test paper and also took away Xie Nandu's test paper.

The scholar quickly got the test paper. He raised his eyes and frowned slightly because one of the two test papers contained only a short sentence, while the other paper had nothing.

The scholar looked at the answers on the test paper, and his eyes gradually became brighter. Soon, he stood up and said with a smile, "We have a winner."

After hearing this, Gu Ming smiled bitterly and shook his head, knowing that he had failed.

There were already sounds from the lakeside.

The scholar looked towards the pavilion and said, "The first place in this literary test is Xie Nandu from the academy."

He spoke loudly and addressed everyone present.

Many people are waiting to see if this match will be tied for the eighth or ninth time. Now that they hear this voice, they are quite disappointed, but they still admire the two people over there. It has been tied for seven times. , it can be said that both of them are very remarkable young people in this world.

At least that's the case with those things that are known.

Weng Quan looked at Chen Chao with fear on his face and said gratefully, "Thank you, deputy commander. If it weren't for you, I would have jumped into the lake tomorrow night!"

Chen Chao rubbed his shoulders and said with some dissatisfaction, "Why did it take so long?"

…

…

The scholar said some words of encouragement to the two of them and left along the lake. He was in a good mood today and wanted to find a place to drink some wine.

The monk who presided over the literary examination also left. They spent too much time here today and were really tired at the moment.

Xie Nandu was about to leave.

Gu Ming opened his mouth to stop her.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist, for your thoughtfulness. I am ashamed of myself."

He spoke very seriously, and there was no sarcasm in his words.

Xie Nandu turned his head, glanced at the young Taoist priest, and said, "It's just a trick. If you go back today and look at these things again, it won't be so easy to win when I meet you next time."

Although the two have decided the winner, they are by no means eliminating each other. They may even fight again in the future.

Gu Ming asked, "No.

I think that no one in this world will ever see that question again except for you. I don’t know how you know about it. "

Xie Nandu thought for a while, and she remembered that question clearly. She happened to see it in the carriage when she left the palace on the day of the imperial banquet.

This story was in the book at that time.

"It's just a coincidence, but that question is indeed very biased, much more biased than the last question you asked."

Xie Nandu looked at him. For the last question, the two of them had completely different directions. Gu Ming chose to continue looking for the question in the least popular place, while Xie Nandu's question was too ordinary, as if he didn't care at all. Same.

Gu Ming thought for a while and said softly, "I lost. I hope I can beat my Taoist friends next time."

Xie Nandu shook his head, "It makes no sense."

"Why?" Gu Ming looked at Xie Nandu, puzzled.

What does it mean to be meaningless?

Xie Nandu said, "No matter how many books you read, it is meaningless to become the person who knows the most things in the world. Reading is just to do other things. If it is just reading, what is the point?"

"So even if you beat me in the future, it won't make much sense. I just entered the practice for a short time. Otherwise, all I participated in was the martial arts test."

Gu Ming felt a little painful. He originally thought that the girl in front of him was the same type of person who loved reading, but he found that she was far from what he thought.

"They all appear here anyway, so what's the difference?" Gu Ming laughed a little at himself.

Then he saw a young man in black clothes walking towards him not far away.

It was Chen Chao.

Chen Chao looked at Xie Nandu's sweaty little face, stretched out his hand and handed over a summer cooling talisman, and said, "I almost bankrupted my fortune today."

Xie Nandu took the talisman and just smiled without saying anything. If it weren't for the bet he made, how would she have survived until now.

"Let's go back."

Xie Nandu glanced at Chen Chao and said tiredly, "Let's eat roast tonight."

Chen Chao smiled and said, "Enough."

The two of them walked towards the lakeside while talking, looking very harmonious.

Gu Ming, who was standing there, looked at the two people in silence.
