Xu Fei patted him on the back and signaled to continue moving forward. As he walked, he said: "No, but you can't not even try. What if you get lucky again?"
Maybe this guy is really lucky! Yu Qing muttered in his heart and said word by word: "How about I help Brother Xu win this first place?"
"Uh..." Xu Fei stopped and was stunned for a while, then suddenly laughed and said, "Stop making trouble, go back and get your stationery."
The meaning is very simple. If you can take first place, do you still need to help me? It’s okay if you take first place yourself.
Yu Qing followed and said, "Brother Xu, I'm not kidding you. I'm determined to help you." Seeing that the other party continued to move forward, shaking his head in disbelief, he not only did not give up, but instead hit the snake and followed the stick, "How about this, we Make a bet, if I can help you win first place, the reputation of first place will be yours, and all the rewards will be mine, how about that?"
Xu Fei stopped again and stared at him with a frown, "Brother Shiheng, what do you mean?"
What else could Yu Qing mean? It was just for money and rewards, but what he said was another matter, "To be honest, I am very good at guessing word puzzles, but the number one benefit you mentioned is of no use to me. , it’s impossible for me to get a job in the states, if I can’t get on the gold medal list, I will keep taking the exam, even until I die.”
"..." Xu Fei was speechless. In order to pass the Jinshi exam, he kept taking the exam repeatedly. There were many people who failed in the exam. He had also heard of it. He didn't expect to meet such a determined person today. . However, some things really depend on talent, and no matter how hard you persist, it may not be useful. For example, if you don't get the top score in the exam, you won't get the top score even if you take the exam 10,000 times.
He wanted to give advice, but he thought that this was his first time in Beijing to take the exam, so it would be unlucky to say that he could not pass the exam. Scholars were taboo about this, so he had to stop and save some words for advice after the exam. "Brother Shiheng, whether you can be named on the gold list or not has nothing to do with this matter. It wouldn't be a bad thing if you can really win the first place in front of Mr. Zhou Mu. You don't need to think about it for me."
Yu Qing refused to give up, "That's wrong. I'm not just helping you think about it, but also helping me think about it. If I can be named on the gold medal list and become a Jinshi on the two lists when I go to Beijing this time, does it matter whether I am number one in front of me?" Since it is useful to Brother Xu, it is better to help Brother Xu. If the number one in front of me can really help Brother Xu, if I can help Brother Xu successfully become an official, Brother Xu will definitely still be an official in these states, and I may be able to do so in the future. Rely on Brother Xu."
It seemed to make sense, Xu Fei understood a little bit, hesitated, and wanted to speak.
But Yu Qing grabbed his wrist and flicked it, and intensified his persuasion, "A certain person was born in a poor family, with no wealth, no power, and no backing. The immediate reward is a long-term plan. Once I fail, I will have money on hand for me to concentrate on." Study to avoid the bad news, and wait for a comeback next time. If you keep failing on your way to Jinshi, and one day you become discouraged and want to find a job, Brother Xu is the retreat for a person like me who has no background. Brother Xu is familiar He just introduced me to someone who was familiar with me. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't dare to say such heartfelt words. After these few days of contact, I feel that Brother Xu is a true husband, so I dare to make friends with him wholeheartedly, and I hope that Brother Xu will be fulfilled!"
I see! Xu Fei suddenly realized, his eyes lit up, and the way he looked at Yu Qing was different. He could think of such a long-term plan in an instant. Even if such people could not be named on the gold medal list, they would definitely not be mediocre people in the future.
Based on these words, Xu Fei was already willing to make friends with him. While sighing, he hesitated and said: "Brother Shiheng, if you can help me, I will definitely pay it forward. But...brother, are you really so sure about winning the first place?"
Yu Qing patted the back of his hand and said, "You're worrying too much. Just give it a try. It won't hurt if you try."
Xu Fei thought about it, it wouldn't hurt anything, and immediately smiled and said: "Okay, that's it."
The matter was settled and the two of them laughed and moved on.
When the book boy Zong'er heard the laughter, he stuck his head out from the door to have a look. When he saw the two of them coming back with arms around each other, he was also surprised. He didn't expect that 'Ashi Heng' suddenly seemed to be a different person and could actually follow him. My young master is so close.
After the two arrived, Chong'er said politely: "Master, Master."
Xu Fei: "Bring me my pen and ink."
Yu Qing, who had followed here, interrupted, "Well, if you have more pens and inks, you might as well lend me one."
Chong'er's big eyes flickered, he didn't know what it meant, he couldn't help but look at his young master's attitude.
Xu Fei said: "There is no shortage of pens and inks, but there are not many inkstones. But Chong'er has one of them for him to practice calligraphy with, I'm afraid you won't be used to it. You'd better use your own. It's just a matter of going upstairs. Brother Shi Heng might as well go back and get it. After a while, I will be more comfortable using it."
Speaking of this, Yu Qing said with some embarrassment: "Well, I came in a hurry and didn't bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone."
Xu Fei and Chong'er looked suspicious at the same time. A scholar who came to Beijing to take the exam didn't bring a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Are you kidding me?
Yu Qing quickly added, "It's all my fault that the escort did something wrong and threw away all my reading and writing things. They even asked me to disguise myself on the way. In short, they just wanted to pretend that I didn't look like someone rushing to take the exam." In fact, he threw it himself, and now it was all blamed on Si Nan's house. "It's okay. I just wrote a few words and borrowed Chong'er's help."
So it turned out that Xu Fei probably understood what was going on and immediately asked Chong'er to help him get the things.
After a while, the two of them each picked up their stationery and left. Chong'er, who was standing at the door and watching, scratched his head and didn't understand, but he couldn't ask more questions in front of Yu Qing.
When the two of them rushed to the place where the group dispersed, most of the people had already arrived, and more people came one after another. It didn't take long for everyone to arrive, and then they set off collectively.
We were led all the way to Yuxiu Garden, a scenic resort, and then to a lobby. When we entered, we saw a table with a futon inside, which were still being arranged at equal intervals.
The original tables and desks were obviously not enough, so some were temporarily adjusted from other libraries.
More than 300 tables and desks are put together in this lobby, which is a bit compact, because usually there are not so many people sitting in this lobby during lectures. The schools in Yuxiu Garden are divided into several places, because the students in the college are divided into grades. . The truly spacious place is in the Fenghua Hall, which can accommodate the entire academy's students, but there is obviously no need to use such a large place at present, and it is troublesome to toss hundreds of desks back and forth.
After the candidates arrived, they waited for a while. After things were arranged and adjusted, an official loudly said: "Everyone finds a seat and sits down."
Everyone immediately started to look for each other in a commotion.
Yu Qing first observed the air flow direction. The secret passage was not good. He wondered if the lobby had been closed before. Now the doors and windows around it were opened for ventilation. In addition, the wind was slightly stronger today, which made the air flow in the hall somewhat disordered.
The reason why he was determined to get the first place reward was not only the generous reward, but also the assessment time of Yu Qi's so-called "one stick of incense", which made him determined to get a handful.
Since the time for "one stick of incense" is mentioned, it must be timed to burn the incense.
The "Guanzi Jue" and "Yinzi Jue" are integrated into one, which is the "Guanyin" of Linglong Guanzi.
What ordinary people hear with their ears is sound, but what Yin Zi Jue hears is "momentum".
What ordinary people see with their eyes are objects, but what Guan Zi Jue sees is "weather".
When people pass by, the dust rises, the wind blows away the smoke, the clouds are steaming and the clouds are shining, the mist and dust fall between the sky and the earth, the vegetation withers and flourishes in the spring and autumn, the wind and rain follow the four seasons, etc., these are all "weather" that can be observed and checked.
The three realms of Guanzi Jue are: small elephant, elephant, and no elephant.
In the realm of little elephants, you can see the small things through small things, and you can use the observable weather around you to infer the movements within a certain range around you.
In the realm of elephants, one can observe the small with the small, the big with the small, and the small with the large. It can integrate the weather changes of both distance and near in the mind, and can infer the large and small movements in a wider range.
As for the imageless realm, it is already close to a myth.
According to the records of the practice, those who have practiced Guanzi Jue to the state of imagelessness can only detect movement and stillness within the range of their eyesight.
When you look up at the sky, you can tell where it will be sunny and where it will rain, where there will be strong winds and where there will be big waves, and you can easily tell when it will rain and when it will stop. By counting with your fingers, you can know the good and bad luck, know where the road is blocked due to landslides and it is not suitable to travel, etc., and you can even know what someone is doing thousands of miles away.
Yu Qing asked his master if any of the previous masters of Linglong Guan had practiced to the third realm. However, the master himself did not know. He only said that the founder who could create this technique should have reached the third realm. Otherwise, how would he know? The third realm?
Even his master, who has been practicing for many years, has not been able to truly enter the second realm. It can only be said that he has laid the foundation for entering the second realm and touched the threshold of the second realm.
If his master in the Little Elephant Realm wants to know what is going on around him, he no longer needs to carefully observe the changes in the weather around him. The Guanzi Jue in the Little Elephant Realm has been practiced to the point of conditioned reflex, or it can be said that the experience has been accumulated to a certain point. All he needs to do is glance at it. , the movements within a certain range around you are already clear.
Once you have reached this point in your practice, you will naturally be familiar with the Little Elephant Realm. You can perform it easily and without fatigue.
Unlike Yu Qing, his cultivation is still shallow, and he has to rack his brains to make calculations based on subtle changes in the weather, which is quite labor-intensive.
Based on Yu Qing's current state of Guanzijue, it would be difficult for him to take advantage of the changes in movement and movement of the burning incense and green smoke that he could directly observe in front of him.
If outside wind intervenes and the weather changes causing the drifting smoke to become more chaotic, it will increase the difficulty of his Guanzi Jue calculation.
If he only keeps an eye on the movements of one candidate, that's fine. A little wind interference is fine. The problem is that he now has to pay attention to the movements of all candidates at the same time.
After observing the environment in the lobby, Yu Qing winked at Xu Fei, who immediately followed him and sat side by side in the back corner.
Sitting in this position, Yu Qing naturally wanted to observe the whole scene. Xu Fei was a little confused, but he still acted according to the cooperation he had planned on the road.
As for whether the incense burning will be timed and whether there will be weather suitable for observation, Yu Qing is not sure, but he won't lose anything by tinkering with Xu Fei's plan first.
The top six candidates of the provincial examination naturally sat at the front, and no one competed with them.
Everyone sat down one after another. Xu Fei noticed that Yu Qing seemed a little absent-minded. From time to time, he stared out the window and glanced back and forth from the window to the lobby. When the breeze blew in, he would quietly stretch out his hand to wet it with saliva. I used my fingers to feel it, but I didn’t know what it was doing.
