Chapter 133 No way, monks also have to take exams?
"you--"
"Junior brother!"
Before Lv Wenyuan rolled up his sleeves and wanted to say something, Chao Yan stood on tiptoe and patted him on the shoulder fiercely, warning him with gritted teeth: "Junior brother, do you still remember the 'advice' that Senior Sister Jiao gave you before you left?"
"Humph! You are overthinking it! I am a disciple of Taiyi Ziwei Sect, how can I bother with someone whose background is unknown?"
Lu Wenyuan said this stubbornly, holding his head high, looking as if he was looking around, standing aside like a pine or cypress, not looking around, and actually had a bit of a casual temperament.
"Let's go in, let's go in! Everyone, be quiet!"
Soon, the door of the institute was opened.
Zhou Qian had visible fatigue on his face. He held a piece of paper and read, "Don't whisper to each other, don't use magic, etc. There is a device in the room to detect spiritual power fluctuations. If you are detected, you will be treated as cheating. After entering, just find a seat one by one. There are only 30 questions in total for the written test, 20 multiple-choice questions, 7 judgment questions, and 3 subjective questions. Half an hour... well, that is, 25 minutes to answer the questions. Write as much as you can. The results will be announced in the afternoon and the list of candidates for the re-examination will be announced on the bulletin board at the door..."
At this point, a cry of surprise suddenly rang out from the crowd: "Only fifteen minutes! What can you write about this!?"
Someone was kind enough to comfort him in a low voice, "Daoyou, you just arrived in Chang'an City, right? The exams here are basically held at this time, and the content of the exams is different from that of other sects. But it doesn't matter. If you don't pass this time, you can still practice more. There's a new 'Exam Training Hall' next door, and they've also released a collection of mock exams and real exam questions, 'Five Years of Exams, Three Years of Passing the Exam'. Go there and practice more, and you'll definitely pass!"
"Yes, yes, my senior took the test three times before he passed. It's normal to fail the first time!"
Chao Yan was stunned by what these monks said: "No way, so exaggerated? Is it necessary to enter this research institute?"
"Doesn't this fellow Taoist know? The various research institutes of the Taiyin Sect are well-known treasure pots and wealth-making dens! There are already several fellow Taoists who have entered here with foresight and have made a fortune from the little gadgets they researched!"
At this point, the monk even beat his chest and stamped his feet in regret: "Oh! Oh! If I had known, I would have applied! At that time, I only needed to pass an interview, not like now, where I have to take a written test!"
"Hey, fellow Taoist, calm down. If it is destined to happen, it will happen. If it is not destined to happen, don't force it!"
Lv Wenyuan felt that the exaggerations he heard were ridiculous. He sneered and said disdainfully, "Tsk! How much can you earn?"
"The one who made the most, I heard that he made thousands of spirit stones every day just from the patent share! It's only been a few days! He's already wearing gold and silver, and I heard that he even paid a deposit to buy a luxury flying boat!"
Chao Yan's eyes widened: "Duo, Duo Shao!? Every what? Every day!?"
Even Lu Wenyuan couldn't help but feel jealous, but then he felt it was impossible - where would so much money come from for a small Taiyin Sect, which hadn't even been heard to have possessed any spiritual mineral veins!
"Hehe, that's not all! Aren't there many big sects, chambers of commerce, and business alliances coming to Taiyin Sect these days? You must have heard of the famous Fu Lu Shou, the first chamber of commerce of the Ten Continents and Three Islands? Their investment in the Chang'an Research Institute alone is hundreds of thousands of spirit stones! This doesn't even include the money from the series of goods orders they signed!"
"Yes, yes! I don't need much. As long as I can get into the research institute and get a few projects, I can get 100 spirit stones a month. I will wake up laughing in my dreams!"
"Then you're just dreaming! Do you think you can make something good and apply for a patent?"
"Why not? Those popular things they sell don't have much technical content!"
…While the monks were whispering to each other, the invigilator Zhou Qian at the door had already read the precautions for the second time. After he finished, he gestured to open the door and signaled everyone to enter the examination room.
Lu Wenyuan walked into the examination room with uncertain steps, and followed the monks in front of him to sit down at the examination table one by one.
The Taiyi Ziwei School also has examinations.
In other words, most sects have exams. They are usually called "ten-day exams" and "annual exams." As the name suggests, they are held every ten days or every year. There are also more Buddhist sects that only hold exams every three or five years.
However, whether it was the ten-day or annual examination, Lv Wenyuan had never heard of "multiple choice questions" or "true or false questions". Aren't they usually just Mo Yi and Tie Jing questions? ?
There are also "subjective questions" that you have no idea what kind of questions they are!
Could it be that he couldn't even pass this small preliminary test? Seeing the other monks who entered one after another with expressions that seemed to be extremely relaxed, Lu Wenyuan's face turned pale.
When he lowered his head and saw the title clearly on the rice paper on the table, he found it even more unbelievable.
The requirements were clear to him. There were four answers for each question, and he just had to choose the correct one. It seemed very simple.
But the title is outrageous, all of it is unheard of and unseen! "Which of the following statements about the Soul-Restoring Pill is correct: 1. It is basically the same as the principle of Spirit Stone replenishing spiritual power.
2. Other cold herbs can be used to balance the irritation of Huilingcao
3. It is harmless to those who have not practiced cultivation and can be swallowed by ordinary people..."
This feeling of wanting to use a long paragraph to describe just a few words was very novel and made him feel uncomfortable.
It is too neat, too serious, and too straightforward. It is as if all the mysterious things in cultivation are cut open and chopped up, and they are sworn to be ground flat and neat! How can this be possible? Cultivating immortals and asking for the truth are such a test of one's qualifications and "spirituality". It is so straightforward, just like hoeing in the fields. Isn't this, isn't this...
Doesn't this pull the monks down from the altar? ?
As soon as this idea popped into Lu Wenyuan's mind, he felt as if he understood something, but he couldn't figure out the new questions that popped up in his mind.
Amid the rustling sound of paper rubbing against each other, he looked at the small words on the snow-white rice paper with fear, as if these words could eat him. His mind was a mess and he couldn't think of anything.
After an unknown amount of time, several loud gavel sounds were heard, and the examiner who had been sitting at the top of the exam and was lost in thought said, "There are only fifteen minutes left, or a quarter of an hour. Fellow Taoists, please pay attention to your answering speed. This is just one reminder!"
Lu Wenyuan suddenly woke up from his dream. He looked around and found that everyone else had already answered several pages of questions, and some of them seemed to have answered some "subjective questions".
Turning his head again, he suddenly saw the unknown monk who had just choked him at the door was also writing furiously.
The monk seemed to sense something. When he looked up, he happened to see Lu Wenyuan's pale face. He rolled his eyes at him and shook his head mockingly.
But this time, Lu Wenyuan was not in the mood to compete with him.
