Chapter 359: No Martial Arts
second day
Above the Great Hall
Xu Qing looked at Kuang Zhou who was sitting opposite him and said, "Brother Kuang's health is much better?"
Kuang Zhou looked at Xu Qing and said, "I will definitely not lose today's battle!"
Xu Qing said: "Today's shorthand competition, Brother Kuang, let's come up with a question."
After Kuang Zhou and Xu Qing handed back the manuscript in their hands, both of them looked at the book in their hands and couldn't help being startled: "It's also a scripture!"
However, what Kuang Zhou handed over to Xu Qing today was just a few pages from the Buddhist scriptures.
This volume of scriptures has a very long history. When this scripture was passed down from Tianzhu, there were very few people in the Central Plains who were proficient in Sanskrit.
Therefore, the translation here is a literal translation plus a transliteration. Some scriptures that cannot be translated have to be transliterated. In order to show the grandeur of the scriptures, complex characters with many strokes are used.
There are quite a few characters that are quite remote, and even made up some by myself, which are extremely obscure, not to mention memorizing them silently, even reading them through is difficult.
Zhao Guo is rich, and Buddhism is relatively prosperous in Zhao Guo.
When Kuang Zhou chose this scripture, it was because it was obscure and difficult to understand, and there were so many uncommon words.
The reason why he didn't choose those sage classics was because Kuang Zhou was really not sure whether Xu Qing had read them by chance, and even if he hadn't read them, the contents in them were not difficult to remember, so the risk was huge!
Therefore, he set his sights on this Tibetan scriptures. Non-Buddhist monks would not be able to read this volume of Tibetan scriptures. Stop it, just writing these characters with many strokes can invisibly waste the opponent's time.
What Xu Qing handed over to Kuang Zhou also had the same number of words intercepted from the scriptures, but it was just a volume of scriptures from the Taoist sect, which he asked for from Taoist Master Chunyang.
The characters inside also have many strokes, and the content inside is also obscure and difficult to understand, and there are also many uncommon words mixed in. However, because Taoism is a local sect, and the scriptures are composed by people from the Central Plains, the content is still transliterated. The scriptures are much easier to remember.
At least there will be no feeling that the relationship between words may not match at all.
Xu Qing had the same idea as Kuang Zhou, the more difficult the writing, the better. He had never read it before, so he chose this scripture.
This wave made the two of them think they had won at the starting line.
Long Binger, who was sitting on the deputy envoy's seat, looked at the two people sitting opposite each other in the hall with contempt.
They are all literati who came out of reading the books of sages, but when it came time for the competition, they unanimously chose the scriptures, books that had nothing to do with scholars' imperial examinations.
Martial Dao is still talked about in the military general competition, but the civil servant competition is so far-fetched!
Chu people who don't talk about martial arts and Zhao people who don't talk about martial arts!
Xiao Ruxue, who was sitting on the side, was extremely nervous after seeing the title: "I have never seen many words in it, can Xu Qing win?"
Su Qian seemed very confident and said, "My husband will definitely win this battle."
Xiao Ruxue looked at Su Qian, who was sitting beside her with a confident face, and said, "Why is Sister Su so sure?"
Su Qian smiled and said, "Because my husband has a photographic memory."
Not only a photographic memory, but a very exaggerated memory.
Before the big wedding, to be precise, when Su Qian first taught Xu Qing martial arts, from the time Xu Qing said that he had a photographic memory, Su Qian was very curious about how Xu Qing's photographic memory can be achieved. .
Su Qian didn't ask about it until they arrived at Andingbo Mansion and the two fell in love with each other and became real husband and wife.
It was then that Xu Qing told her that no matter what happened in the world, it was as if they were drawn in her mind at a glance. At first, Su Qian didn't believe such an exaggeration, but after many complicated verifications, Su Qian finally understood, Xu Qing Qing's words are not exaggerating at all!
So, when Xu Qing brought up this question that day, Su Qian knew that it was impossible for her husband to lose in this competition!
At this moment, a stick of incense had already started to be lit, and Dang Kuangzhou was secretly happy.
Because compared to the scriptures in his hands at this time, the other party's hands are much more difficult!
It is not easy to read it several times only with the silent recitation time of a stick of incense, how can I remember everything?
The envoy of Zhao Guo on the side is also full of confidence. He and Kuang Zhou selected this volume of scriptures together, in order to put their opponents at a disadvantage within the rules of the competition. In this way, their chances of winning will be greatly increased. increased.
I really don't know what the Anding county uncle is feeling at this moment.
Just when the two of them looked towards Xu Qing with smug expressions, they couldn't help being surprised.
He... what is he doing? !
How did he already write it? !
Has he memorized it all?
After putting down the manuscript in your hand and starting to write silently, you can't pick it up to read it again!
Yes, when Kuang Zhou hadn't finished reading the manuscript, Xu Qing on the side had already dipped a brush in ink and began to write on the paper.
Who said you must know how to read to copy?
Wouldn't it be enough to write down the glyphs?
With the ability of photographic memory, Xu Qing can engrave every word in the book in her mind after quickly flipping through it.
The efficiency is second only to the "quantum fluctuation reading method."
Zhao Guozheng looked at the high-ranking Emperor Chu and said, "Your Majesty, the foreign ministers protested that this move by the county magistrate of Anding in your country violated the regulations of the competition."
The Emperor of Chu looked at Zhao Guozheng and said, "Oh? I wonder which rule Uncle Anding violated?"
Zhao Guozheng said: "Reporting to His Majesty the Emperor, according to the rules, there is a time for joss sticks to write down the contents of the manuscript. At this moment, it should be the time to memorize. However, the county magistrate of Anding started writing at this time. Isn't it a violation of the rules? ?”
Qin Xiang stood up and said: "Lu Zhengshi also said just now that the rule is that there is one stick of incense to write down the contents of the manuscript, which means that after one stick of incense, you must start to write silently, and it is not that you can only record within one stick of incense. As for the contents of the manuscript, if your country has the shorthand ability of our Great Chu Anding county uncle, you can start writing at this moment, and we will not say much."
"This..." It was only then that Zhao Guozheng remembered that the piece of paper on which the competition rules were written was indeed recorded for one stick of incense, and he had to stop writing when the second stick of incense burned out.
It is true that there is no saying that dictation is not allowed at this time, as long as you stop writing before the second stick of incense burns out.
But, how could there be someone in the world who is so good at shorthand? Did Uncle Anding write down all the content on the manuscript just after a quick glance at the manuscript?
In this way, isn't An Ding county uncle an incense stick of time ahead of Kuang Zhou from the very beginning?
According to the rules of the competition, the person who completes the manuscript first and has the fewest mistakes will win.
So, isn't Zhao Guo going to lose this game? !
Thinking of this, Zhao Guozheng couldn't help clenching his fists. No wonder Xu Qing was so confident that he wanted to compete with their big Zhao in shorthand. It turned out that he had such supernatural powers!
