The Otherworldly God

Seeing Le Zheng Yuhua walking towards them, Le Zheng Shuiling waved her arms excitedly. A girl next to her, who was three years younger than her but one centimeter taller than her, immediately grabbed her hand and shook it down when she saw the person she was waving to.

Le Zheng Shuiling was not familiar with this little sister and had no idea why she did this. She ignored her and raised her hand again, but was stopped by her again.

"What are you doing?"

She didn't say anything, just gave him a cold look. Le Zhengshui was so angry that he almost got violent with her. Fortunately, Le Zheng Yuhua came over and grabbed her other arm.

"Everything must be endured."

Hearing what he said in her ear, Le Zheng Shui Ling endured it and just rolled her eyes at her.

After everyone arrived, the time came soon, and the first assessment began: the written test. This written test was different from the previous ones. It was no longer a few small questions, but a big question.

Looking at the large blank space below, Le Zheng Shuiling understood that she was asked to write a long article.

"What is a Taoist?"

Shui Ling looked at the others. Many of them were in a state of confusion and didn't know how to start.

This is like writing an essay. Although Le Zheng Yuhua never went to school, Sanye would still let him try to do her homework. Writing an essay is not difficult, but the hard part is the habit. Le Zheng Yuhua has the memory of Le Zheng Yuhua, but most of the habits are his own. Using a brush is quite difficult for him.

"When Sanye taught me calligraphy, I really should have learned it well."

Thinking back to when Sanye wanted to teach me calligraphy and I refused, I can't help but regret it.

"If you want to write good calligraphy, you must master the brush technique and calligraphy." After realizing that Yue Zhengyuhua didn't understand at all, Sanye directly taught him how to hold the brush: "The way to hold the brush is called the five-finger method, which is to hold the brush with the tip of the thumb and index finger to ensure that the brush does not fall off;

The middle finger is placed under the index finger on the outside of the pen, which not only strengthens the index finger's power to hold the pen, but also plays the role of hooking the pen inward; the nail of the ring finger is placed on the inside of the pen shaft, playing the role of pushing the pen outward;

The pinky finger is attached to the lower part of the ring finger to help the ring finger push the pen outward. Also remember that when holding a pen, you should do as the ancients said: "Let your palm be empty as if holding an egg", so that it is easier to move the pen. If you hold the pen like this, the egg will probably break before you start writing."

This five-finger method of holding a pen caused Le Zheng Yuhua a lot of trouble, and was also the main reason why he gave up learning it.

"This is harder than hitting the bull's eye with ten shots."

"Yes, you are so patient even when shooting at targets, how can you be so impatient when learning calligraphy? You need to be patient. Well, it looks a bit good now. Now try to write a character and see."

When Le Zheng Yuhua tried to write the first character, the brush head was almost broken by him, and Sanye stopped him hastily.

"The force you use to write and the height you hold the pen are completely wrong. Listen carefully, when writing calligraphy, the height you hold the pen and whether you suspend your wrist or elbow are determined by the size of the character you are writing. For small characters, hold the pen low and rest your wrist on the pen, like this; for large characters, hold the pen high and suspend your wrist, like this; for even larger characters, you need to suspend your elbow, like this. Try it."

At that time, he held the pen and hesitated for a long time without writing. Finally, Le Zheng Yuhua gave up.

"I guess there's nothing I can do, literati. I'm sorry to disappoint you, Mitsuha."

"Really? You only regret not having enough knowledge when you need it. You just don't understand the principle of learning more."

"Don't worry, I'll keep reading. I won't learn calligraphy anymore. I don't think I'll ever need it in my lifetime."

Le Zheng Yuhua let out a long sigh, thinking that this was what they called a slap in the face. It would probably take him a long time to write calligraphy.

It's no use regretting now, I can only try to write according to Sanye's words. But even though I grasped the pen with the five-finger pen-holding method and thought of the beginning, I just couldn't put pen to paper.

"It seems that Brother Yuhua also finds it difficult."

Le Zheng Shuiling mistakenly thought that Le Zheng Yuhua was frowning because the question was too difficult, but she didn't know that he was thinking about how to write the first word he had thought of, for fear that it would be too big and the 400 or 800 words he had prepared would not fit on this small stack of paper.

After he put down his pen and controlled the size of the characters, he didn't care even though it didn't look very pretty. After writing a few sentences, Le Zheng Yuhua paused, and almost accidentally wrote something from his own world.

Although there are many idioms in this world, there is no guarantee that they can understand all of them. After thinking about it, Le Zheng Yuhua realized that what was written in the front was: Laozi said: The superior man hears the truth and practices it diligently...

He seemed to see those people above Le Zheng holding the answer sheet and asking himself, who is the father? Le Zheng Yuhua grabbed it into a ball and wanted to eat it.

"Sanye's knowledge is really extensive. She showed me the Tao Te Ching, the Analects, and Mencius. She even wrote down some of them. Sigh... Come to think of it, the Analects and Mencius seem to be the required subjects for her exams."

Le Zheng Yuhua now not only has to write calligraphy, but also has to avoid minefields to avoid suffering. However, learning so much is not useless.

“Things have their own way, people have their own way, and heaven has its own way…If people follow the great way, they will become people of the Tao.”

Le Zheng Shui Ling was very worried when she saw Le Zheng Yu Hua tear the paper once, but she was relieved when she saw that he could write more fluently later. She looked at the time and found that most of the time had passed. She had only written half of it, so she hurried.

Once you hand in your paper, you can go directly to another examination room, where two people will interview the candidates. One is the main interviewer, and the other is the person who takes notes. There are two such examination rooms in total.

The interviewer's questions are not the same. He will ask different questions according to the person in front of him. Generally, he will ask three to five questions, unless the previous answers have satisfied the interviewer. Of course, sometimes multiple questions are asked not because the answer is not satisfactory, but because the interviewer wants to know more.

Le Zheng Qiming was the first one to hand in his written test paper among the three people. After all, Le Zheng Qiming was much stronger in this aspect. Seeing that Le Zheng Qiming's interview results had come out and there were only a few candidates left around him, Le Zheng Shuiling was a little nervous and anxious.

When she finally finished, Le Zheng Shuiling exhaled, blew on the test paper, and then handed the paper to the examiner.

"Go to the examination room over there."

"Yes."

Le Zheng Shuiling took two steps and thought of Le Zheng Yuhua. She stopped and looked. Sure enough, he hadn't finished writing yet. Seeing him sweating profusely, and knowing that there were only a few candidates left and not much time left, she couldn't help but worry for him.

"Le Zheng Shui Ling, what are you still standing there for? Why don't you go over there quickly?"

"Yes."

Le Zheng Shuiling turned hurriedly and walked towards the examination room, but just as she entered the room, her foot was tripped by the threshold and she fell to the floor, causing everyone around her to laugh.

Le Zheng Shuiling quickly stood up, dusted herself off, and sat down in front of the examiner.
