Brushesabout a desert, silence punctuated by the rustling of sand

It seeroithin the Hall of shi+ning Words, each raising up ripped his brush and seriously answered the questions on the test His brush on the exale stroke so seriously drawn that he gave off an air of caution

This caution made him seem rather nervous, but in reality, he was very relaxed The countless essays he had read as a child now constantly flitted through his mind like leaves in the wind When he saw a question, he would lightly pick out a leaf and copy doas written there, with no time needed to think Those questions that required contemplation to reach the answer had not appeared yet The several pages of questions he had seen had not yet gone beyond the scope of the knowledge in the Daoist Canon The priest that had written the questions had not yet displayed wisdoes of the past

Nearby, Gou Hanshi+ put down his brush and ed his wrist, then continued to write His expression was cal notes on his ho Words was quiet, the only sounds those of flipping pages and writing brushes Occasionally, son that this person was nervous

Just then, so completely unexpected happened: a person turned in their exam early
