Chapter 662: Applying for the exam

What is it, the farther away you are, the clearer you can see, and the closer you go, the more you can't see clearly?

"Hey, is there such a thing in the world? Could it be some special weirdness?" Xiao Xuan put her hands on her face and thought again.

Zhou Fan: "......"

"Ah, Xiao Wan can't think of it, what is the master's answer?" Xiao Wan said with a tangled face as she tugged at her long hair.

"The answer is the bureau. Zhou Fan sighed and said.

"Congratulations, the answer is correct. The book made a sound, confirming that what Zhou Fan said was right.

"Why is it a bureau word?" Xiao Fei still asked with a puzzled face.

"The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear. Zhou Fan said concisely.

He reached for the pages and closed them again, so that the book of storage could be locked.

"Oh, why can't I think of that?" Xiao Xuan was a little dumbfounded, she doubted her intelligence.

Zhou Fan chuckled, and he lightly scratched the spine of the storage book again, and the book quickly shrunk, turning into only the size of a palm.

He nodded in satisfaction and placed the book in the talisman bag.

Although it is not useful for combat, it at least saves him a lot of space and is stealthy enough.

"Master, why did you put it away, this book is so fun, I still want to play for a while, this time I will definitely be able to say the right answer. Xiao Xuan said a little unwillingly.

Zhou Fan ignored Xiao Xuan's noise, but stretched his waist, a new day was about to begin.

He washed his face, had breakfast at the inn again, and then left the inn where he was borrowed, walked around the city for a while, and after asking for directions, he found the shop in Cao Yanfang's house.

Not only Cao Yanfang, but Tan Yunfei and Guan Yingfeng are also in the Cao family's shop.

When they saw Zhou Fan coming, they gathered together with Zhou Fan and rode towards the eastern suburbs of the county in the prepared carriage.

The four of them made an appointment to apply for the exam at the academy in the eastern suburbs today.

In fact, the registration was opened three days ago, and they were already a little late to come at this time.

After leaving the East City Gate, walk along the ruler road for another quarter of an hour, and you can see the houses and pavilions under the shade of green trees and tall trees.

The academy is not in the Gaoxiang City, that is because the densely populated Gaoxiang City is short of land, but also because it needs a quiet environment, and because the academy does not need the protection of the Fu wall, and the Baixiang Temple in the western suburbs is also for similar reasons.

In other words, the White Elephant Temple in the western suburbs and the academy in the eastern suburbs played a defensive role in defending the High Elephant City.

Similarly, the northern and southern suburbs of the city are the two patrol camps in the city, which are mainly responsible for patrolling and guarding outside the city.

The walls of the academy are higher than people, and there are no rune inscriptions, and its overall layout is divided into two courtyards, the outer courtyard is mainly responsible for receiving outsiders, and the inner courtyard cannot be entered without permission.

The gate of the academy is wide, but the carriage can only be parked outside the door, and it is not allowed to enter inside.

Zhou Fan and the others got down from the carriage and found that there were also carriages parked on the flat ground in front of the door, and they looked up at the 'Gaoxiang Academy' banner hanging high on the door.

"It doesn't look as imposing as the door of my house. Guan Yingfeng muttered, this was very different from the academy he expected.

Zhou Fan and the four of them walked in from the gate of the academy, and the tall ancient trees inside were hanging in the shade, even if it was late autumn, the ancient trees were evergreen, and there were few yellowing and falling leaves.

But the academy is not quiet, but it seems very noisy because there are too many people......

People come and go as if they have entered a market.

"Hasn't it been a few days since the time for the exam, why is it still so lively?" Zhou Fan and the four of them were all taken aback.

Bluestone roads, pavilions, corridors, these places are crowded with people.

Most of them are young people, but of course there are some middle-aged people mixed in.

"Let's go, find someone to ask, see where to apply for the exam. Cao Yanfang smiled bitterly.

It's just that they didn't take a few steps before a somewhat thin young man came over, his eyes lit up and said, "I saw that the four brothers were coming to the academy for the first time, I don't know if I was right?"

"Yes, what, what?" Zhou Fan asked with a smile.

There wouldn't be any danger in the academy, so he asked relaxedly.

"Regardless of whether the four brothers are here for the first time or not, I want to say ......" The young man looked around, and said in a mysterious voice, "Do you want to know the questions of this academy exam?"

"Isn't it not until the day of the exam that you don't know the exam questions?" asked Guan Yingfeng with a slight startle.

"This brother is right, of course, the questions of the big exam were only known on the day of the exam, if I knew it, it would definitely be a lie to you. The young man whispered, "But I have the scope of this exam......"

As the young man spoke, he took out a simple green leather thread-bound book from his bosom, and nothing was written on the book cover, "The scope of the examination is all in this book, but the internal secret I got from the academy teacher only charges thirty Xuan coins!"

Guan Yingfeng's face was full of light, and he was a little excited: "Is this true?

"It must be true, if I didn't happen to be short of money, I wouldn't have sold it, after all, the less people know about this kind of information, the better, brother, I tell you, after you buy it, you can't spread it around......," the young man said foamingly.

Guan Yingfeng was very excited, so he wanted to pay for it and take it back to review it well, but he hadn't given the money yet, so he let Zhou Fan and the three of them drag it away.

This kind of trick really existed in that era...... Zhou Fan sighed a little.

Zhou Fan and the four of them walked in the academy, and asked someone to ask, only to understand why there were so many people in the outer courtyard of the academy, these people had already signed up, and they had come here to inquire about the exam news!

"Isn't it true that being admitted to the academy is mainly based on the martial arts cultivation realm and combat experience?" Guan Yingfeng said a little dazedly: "Even if you know the scope and form of the exam in advance, that is, to take some advantages, it is better to go back and cultivate well, sharpen the gun in battle, and if it is not bright, what is the use of staying here all day......"

Zhou Fan and the three looked at Guan Yingfeng with strange faces.

"Am I not right?" asked Guan Yingfeng with some weakness.

"Yingfeng, didn't Yunfei and I urge you to study hard before?" Cao Yanfang rubbed the temples on his forehead: "Don't you know all along that in the academy examination, except for the special class A and don't need to take the literary examination, the rest of the candidates must take the literary examination first? These people are here to try to find out the content of the literary examination......"

Guan Yingfeng's face showed a sluggish expression: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I don't know." ”

"We've said it many times, but you just don't take it to heart. Tan Yunfei said coldly.

These two fools are hopeless...... Zhou Fan sighed secretly, even he knew that in addition to the candidates who applied for the A class, ordinary candidates had to take the literary exam.

Guan Yingfeng was completely dumbfounded, he felt that the autumn breeze was really cool......

It's just that before Guan Yingfeng wailed, a passing candidate wearing a green shirt scribe uniform next to him smiled and said to the four of them: "You guys were the previous news, yesterday the academy released the news, saying that the class A of the big exam will also participate in the literary examination, and the literary examination score accounts for thirty percent of the total score." ”

Zhou Fan, who was still making fun of Guan Yingfeng in his heart, instantly sweated on his forehead.
