Chapter 177: Passing the Primary Election
That place must be the key to passing the test.
At this moment, Chu Xian's divine thoughts sank into the Shenhai, and began to construct everything in the room with the memory of the Shenhai, people, things, and furnishings, and then Chu Xian carefully observed and compared.
Finally, something was discovered.
A painting hanging on the wall, the painting is a courtyard, look closely, you can see that it is very similar to the state capital, the pavilions and pavilions inside, the courtyard pattern, almost the same.
Since it is a painting of the state capital, of course there will be the room where Chu Xian is at the moment, in reality, there are seven people in this room, and the room where they are in the painting, Chu Xian saw that there were only two people inside.
Chu Xian immediately recognized that one of them was the one who was there before, and then disappeared. Chu Xian remembered that when he first came in, there was only one person in the room in the painting.
Now, it's two.
In this way, there is evidence of real hammer inference, and the figure in the painting, although small, is lifelike, as if a real person is sitting there.
"I see. ”
Chu Xian withdrew from the Shenhai Library, and he had already figured out one of the two questions about this test, that is, how to pass the first test.
As long as you can enter the room in this painting, you will be considered to have passed.
With this in mind, another question becomes particularly important, and that is how to get into this painting.
Chu Xian's painting skills are not bad, and the 'entry' paintings, Chu Xian almost pinched them by hand, but it is difficult to achieve smart paintings.
This painting on the wall is higher than the 'mirror', and even higher than the 'smart', that is, it is very likely to be a 'phantom' level painting.
In the painting, there is another thing.
This is the characteristic of a 'phantom god' level painting, which means that in this room, there is another room, this painting, that room, and now what Chu Xian has to do is to find a way to enter this room.
The two people in the painting obviously found the right way, so they went in, and now it is less than a quarter of an hour before the time limit for this test, and the rest of the people, it is naturally becoming more and more difficult to find the way to enter.
But since this painting is the key, then maybe the key to getting into it is in the painting.
Chu Xian immersed himself in the Shenhai Library again, and all the paintings he saw when he first came in and the current paintings surfaced to compare what were the differences.
Except for the people in the room, which changed from one to two, there was almost no difference between the two paintings, but at this time, Chu Xian still noticed a little difference.
This is different, extremely obscure, but a very inconspicuous detail in the painting.
At first, when the second person does not enter the painting, the only person in the room seems to be holding something in his hand.
It was like a talisman, but by the time of the second painting, the first person who came in no longer had that sigil in his hand, and that sigil was in the hands of the second person who entered the painting.
Chu Xian calculated that the key point lies in that talisman seal.
Talismans, using spells to engrave mana, can allow the magic cultivator to quickly cast spells, such as the fireball technique, normal casting, it takes three breaths, after all, condensing mana, chanting spells, and releasing spells, these cannot be omitted.
But if there is a sigil, the time can be shortened, and it can even be completed in one breath.
There is also the authentic Zhengyang Thunder Trick of the Daomen, the orthodox casting is rarely known, but there is a Fu Seal, which is a technique that is not in the realm of out of the body, and the Thunder Trick can be released by relying on the Fu Seal.
Casting spells at higher levels is the real use of the sigil.
Then, the art of change can naturally be engraved on the talisman seal.
At this time, Chu Xian had an understanding.
Another thing that needs to be clarified has also found the answer, that is, the talisman seal in the hand of the second person in the painting, this talisman must have the art of change, after urging, the body shape can be changed, directly into the world in the painting.
The final question is how to get that sigil.
"I don't know how the first person got the talisman, but the second person who entered, he must have got it from the first person, but a painting is a painting, there is a boundary, if you touch that painting with your hands, you will definitely get nothing, painting, it's still a painting, so, how did he get it?" Chu Xian pondered.
At this time, the other six people in the room were already a little anxious, and as the minutes and seconds passed, if they could not find a clue to enter the next level within the specified time limit, they would be eliminated.
You know, what they're fighting for now is the opportunity to enter the Cave Candle Division. Although before this, they didn't know where the Dong Candle Division was, but after the explanation of the black-clothed official, they knew that the Dong Candle Division was the yamen that dealt with the most difficult and troublesome cases in various places, and it also had the authority to supervise all the officials of the Holy Dynasty, that is, if an official was found to have violated the law and discipline, no matter how high the other party's official position was, they could directly investigate and impeach.
Who doesn't want to enter this kind of division?
It can be said that entering the Cave Candle Division is equivalent to stepping into a core circle, which will be of great help to their future promotion.
In addition, the black-clothed officer who brought them before also said something that made their hearts tremble.
That is, if the candidates who are eliminated this time will be cast a spell to erase all memories of the Cave Candle Division, this point, they must cooperate, before participating, they have already agreed, and have been implanted with spell seeds, as long as they are eliminated and walk out of this room, all the memories in this room will be erased, and nothing will be left.
This kind of technique is unheard of, but if it is a cave candle division, it is obviously not difficult to master this technique.
was erased from their memories, and obviously no one wanted to, so they tried everything they could to pass this selection. And can be regarded as a candidate, obviously the officials in the room are not simple, they are all recommended by high-ranking officials, some are solving major cases, some are making miraculous achievements, and none of them are ordinary officials.
Naturally, they have their arrogance, and they are all holding back their strength at the moment, wanting to stand out.
Chu Xian didn't know what other people were thinking, he didn't even know what he was going to do this time, he didn't know what to erase his memory, he just relied on his instinct to explore the only answer.
And now, he's just one step away from that one answer.
Finally, Chu Xian thought of the most crucial clue.
He is good at painting, painting skills are superb, if in terms of painting techniques, there are several ways to draw real scenes, one is to copy directly, like a teapot, just put on the table, just follow the painting. There is also a way to observe carefully and imprint all the things you want to draw in your mind, so that you can write like a god, and obviously, many skilled painters will choose this second type.
Because, the second method of painting is more difficult, which can better reflect their painting skills, to put it more bluntly, with the second method, the style is higher.
The method of copying is only used by beginners, not by masters.
But who didn't come from a beginner?
It's hard to get to the sky in one step.
The so-called copying is actually the process of overlapping the real scene and the painted scene.
"Coincide!" Chu Xian's eyes lit up, he found the key point, the state capital in the painting, and the real state capital, actually coincided, at least, there are a few points that coincide, this overlap is extremely mysterious, just like the same pattern on two pieces of paper are attached together, you poke it with a pen on a piece of paper above, although there will be an ink spot left on the paper above, but on the paper below, there will also be traces.
Marks, smudges, in short, this is the point of coincidence.
Chu Xian got up at this moment, casually walked to the painting and glanced at it, and could see the position of the second person in the painting, the position of his hand, and the position of the talisman in his hand.
Putting the position in the painting directly in the real room, Chu Xian looked at an empty chair over there, and then walked over.
After walking, Chu Xian learned the posture of the second person in the painting, sat down, leaned on the back of the chair, and held his hands on the handle at will, exactly the same as the appearance of the second person in the painting.
The next moment, Chu Xian pinched his fingers, and in an instant, it felt like he had pinched something.
In the blink of an eye, the light and shadow in front of him changed, and they returned to normal almost instantly, but at this moment, Chu Xian found that the other six people in the room had disappeared, and only two people were there.
One didn't know, and the other was the same official who had disappeared before.
At this moment, the official looked at Chu Xian, smiled and nodded, as if he said hello, with a hint of surprise and recognition in that smile.
He didn't expect that the third person who stepped into here would be the last young official to come in.
Chu Xian responded with a smile, and then looked at the talisman seal with golden light that he was holding in his hand, and secretly said in his heart that it was true, that painting overlapped with the room in reality with magic, and the key point was on this talisman seal.
Now, Chu Xian knew that he was in that painting, not the primordial spirit entering, but entering after making the physical body smaller.
Such a method can be said to be extremely clever.
And it is even more certain that this seemingly ordinary painting is actually a 'phantom god' who has reached the highest level of painting, which is remarkable, really remarkable.
I don't know if it's the work of that great painter.
"Lin Rui, the supervisor of the Yuanzhou Academy, is the eighth grade, I don't know what to call this adult?" The official who nodded with Chu Xian just now said at this time.
Chu Xian naturally couldn't lose his courtesy, and also said: "Chu Xian, Dinghai County, Liangzhou, from the eighth grade." ”
That Lin Rui was taken aback.
"The official of Liangzhou, amazing, amazing. He said two things in a row, obviously because being an official in Liangzhou is equivalent to the concept of being exiled, in fact, the officials of the Holy Dynasty have this idea, and there is a reason, basically, the channel for the promotion of Liangzhou officials is very small, just like this time among the candidates for the Dong Candle Division, this Chu Xian is still the first local official in Liangzhou.
