Chapter 147 Viewing the Mountain View in Silent Night

After Ning Que said this, the old bookstore fell into silence. Chen Pipi stared at his eyes. After a long period of silence, her thick lips twitched slightly and she said, "You are really beautiful."

Ning Que was very angry when he heard this, stared at the other party's eyes, gritted his teeth and said coldly : "Even if you don't want to disclose the test questions, why do you speak to me with this attitude? I don't believe that I will not be able to enter the second place without your help. Story! "

Chen Pipi looked at him with pity and shook his head, saying, "You have said you want to enter the second floor many times before, but I didn't care much at that time. I thought that although your qualifications are much worse than mine, I can teach you carefully. After practicing for more than half a year, it is not difficult to beat the so-called talented man like Xie Chengyun. However... Who would have thought that the heavens do not follow the wishes of others, and the Xiling Temple actually wanted Longqing to come to Chang'an City. This person was there. , you really have no hope."

"I remember clearly that you said a few days ago that Prince Longqing and other things are just cats and dogs. Now you say that I am completely ineligible to compare with him. That is to say, in your eyes, I am not even as good as cats and dogs?"

Ning Que said in a furious voice.

Chen Pipi raised his fleshy arm, patted his shoulder, and sincerely comforted him: "Why do you have to say so clearly? I just worry that it will hurt your self-esteem too much, so I didn't say it directly."

"Then what does it matter if you tell me the test questions?" Ning Que said annoyedly: "It will be no good for you if I can't enter the second floor. Prince Longqing entered the second floor and discovered your true identity. Wouldn't you be too I'm going to make a lot of trouble! "

"Because you have bad luck."

Chen Pipi looked at him sympathetically and said, "The Master and Senior Brother have not returned from their trip to the country. Although the second floor is now based on the date planned last year, the person in charge of this matter has become the second senior brother and the professors and gentlemen in the front yard. ."

"Professionals and gentlemen will not tell me the test questions. Even if I know, I can't tell you at the risk of being beaten by the second senior brother. The second senior brother is straight and serious, and he hates the most shameless tricks in his life. If he knows it, he will know. If you want to walk through my back door, even if you enter the second floor, you will be beaten and driven out by him."

He patted Ning Que's shoulder again and comforted him, "Your luck is really bad. If the Master and Senior Brother are here, they will be very easy to talk. Maybe I will go and ask for mercy, and the Master will agree to recruit you into the second floor. , what a pity."

Ning Que sat cross-legged on the floor, thinking in a daze that if what Chen Pipi said was true, then his luck was indeed extremely bad . He couldn't help but sigh with a bitter face, "It's really true to say that the dean is. , there are so many fun places in the world. It's really irresponsible that I haven't returned to the academy after playing for a year."

Chen Pipi showed disdain on his face and pointed out his thoughts in one sentence: "Do you hope that the Master will rush back to the academy just because he is irresponsible?"

After a moment of silence, Ning Que slapped the floor heavily, raised his head and stared at Chen Pipi 's eyes, and said seriously: "Okay, I don't expect you to leak the questions, but you must at least tell me how to take the exam on the second floor. I know The approximate scope and means of the exam are better than those who are confused now."

"This can be said." Chen Pipi picked up the crab roe porridge and swallowed half a bowl happily, and said vaguely: "But if you say such a thing is vain?"

"How do you say it?" Ning Que asked nervously.

"Because the test method is different every time the second floor opens, the specific examination contents have been determined by the Master several years in advance. It may be that you can write a word, or that you can draw a painting. It may also be that you can swim in the wetland twice, or that may be that you can eat faster than anyone else, just that year..."

Chen Pipi began to introduce with great interest, but Ning Que's thoughts floated to another place. When he heard that it was possible that he was writing and painting, he buzzed in his mind, and he felt a great sense of happiness. However, then When you hear the words behind, your sense of happiness or surprise suddenly turns into a sense of confusion and extreme absurdity.

"Wait, wait , swim and eat? What's the thing for this test?"

Chen Pipi put down the crab roe porridge in her hand, looked at him innocently and said, "I'm not a master, how can I know what the exam is, but these are all said by my seniors and sisters, so there shouldn't be any. Fake."

Ning Que raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at his fat face, and asked hesitantly, "Then what did you... take the exam back then?"

When Chen Pipi heard this question, she gently waved her sleeves to dust off the dust that did not exist on her clothes. A calm and calm smile appeared on her face. She made a gentle and calm look, and said slowly : "I told you." , I am a genius of cultivation who is rare . That year, I took the Sixth Class and went directly to the second floor. The Master greeted me on the mountain road with a smile. The elder brother rubbed my head with a nude heart. How could I do it? The ability to be examined for examination, this... should be called exemption from the test, right?"

Ning Que looked at his proud expression that could not be hidden in his two bean-like eyes, and suddenly aroused a strong urge to beat the other party, but thought that this fat man was a more vigorous practice in his realm of knowing one's life than Prince Longqing. The sneer had to give up the idea in disappointment and sneered, "To me, you are just a big pot of steamed buns."

Chen Pipi touched her head and asked curiously: "How cute are white and fat?"

"No, this means you are just a foodie!" Ning Que said angrily: "You claim to be the treasure of the academy and the most favored junior brother on the second floor. As a result, you don't know the question, and you may take the exam if you ask. You still don't know what. I actually put all my hope on you and bought you such an expensive bowl of porridge!"

He thought about Prince Longqing's posture when the second floor opened tomorrow , thinking about his miserable end, and looking at Chen Pipi's blank and helpless expression, he felt more and more annoyed, and reached out to grab the porridge bowl beside him. He poured the remaining half of the bowl of crab roe porridge into his stomach in one breath.

"Oh, why are you giving it all!"

I don't know if Chen Pipi was robbed of crab roe porridge or Ning Que scolded him as a foodie. At this time, he seemed particularly angry and pointed at his nose and scolded him angrily: "I am a useless foodie! If I don't have this genius, you… "

"I... it's really useless."

Ning Que lowered his head, unable to see his expression, and could only hear the voice a little tired and weak, and his tone was a little dim and low.

"Actually, I always thought I was a real genius and learned everything quickly, including killing horses, oxes, and chickens. But practicing this thing really hit my confidence. After so many years of hard work, I finally made some noise last year. , However, now seeing Prince Longqing, I can't develop the confidence to confront him head-on, so I subconsciously came to you for help. "

He raised his head and looked at Chen Pipi and said self-deprecatingly, "I really want to go to the second floor, but I really don't have the confidence to defeat Longqing and become the only one."

Over the past six months, Chen Pipi has watched Ning Que progress from an ordinary boy who has no idea what he is practicing to his current state. He has long believed that this friend of the same age is also a genius. What is interesting is that Ning Because of the lack of a normal reference system, I don't know this. However, Ning Que's time to enter the world of cultivation is too short after all. Needless to say, compared with him, even Prince Longqing is a mountain that he cannot reach now.

Looking at Ning Que's self-deprecating and disappointed expression, he felt a strong sympathy, sighed and said with a smile: "Although it is difficult for me, a peerless genius, to understand the troubles of you ordinary people, but... just like this for more than half a year, If you have any questions about your practice in the future, you can still ask me. Since this is the case, there is actually no big difference between whether to enter the second floor of the academy or not."

Ning Que shook his head and replied, "Like now, I am learning from you. Then no matter how good I learn, I will never be able to surpass you. But what if I have the opportunity to learn from the dean?"

Hearing this sentence, Chen Pipi 's little eyes widened , and the slightest sympathy that had just emerged suddenly didn't know where he flew away. He shouted annoyedly: "Can you reach my level yet you are not satisfied!"

Ning Que leaned back tiredly against the wall, closed his eyes and was too lazy to talk anymore, and his little look was extremely disappointed.

Chen Pipi couldn't bear it, and her two eyebrows tightly under her smooth forehead suddenly raised and she whispered: "Actually... those who can enter the second floor may not be all geniuses in cultivation. Brother Six is ​​a good blacksmith. Good blacksmith."

Ning Que suddenly opened his eyes.

Chen Pipi didn't look at him, and continued to frown and said, "The Master valued the students' nature the most. Every time the second floor is opened, the exam method is very different, but it is not separated from this sect. So no matter how you take the exam tomorrow, the first thing you have to do is to be cautious. In my heart, and doing this to the extreme, then maybe you will have some chance."

"Extreme?" Ning Que said to himself with thoughts.

"It's already late at night, hurry up and go back."

Chen Pipi looked at the spring night stars outside the west window and said, "It's not been a few hours since the second floor opened."

...

...

Back at the old Bizhai in Linsuyiqi Lane, Ning Que was unable to fall asleep for a long time. He lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling above his head, his seemingly calm eyes actually hidden tension and confusion, and his body also seemed a little tight because of the tension.

Even he himself couldn't explain why he had such a strong desire to enter the second floor of the academy - probably because of his infinite yearning for the world of cultivation since childhood, such as the years of hard work that had been pleating blood last year, made him physically Every cell in it loves that world more and more, because after finally entering that magical world and seeing more strange scenery last year, he wanted to see more scenery more and more.

After people have gone through a lot of hardships to climb a dangerous peak, they look up and see a higher mountain in the distance between the white clouds. If they can overcome their fatigue, then people always want to go to that one On the high mountain peaks, go see more beautiful scenery that you have never seen before. Climb the city tower to see the mountain view, climb the high mountains to see the city view, sit on the clouds to see the world scenery, this is what life should be like.

Sangsang sat on the edge of the bed and stared at his cheek, holding his hand and exerted a little force, trying to convey a certain kind of power. His slightly dark face had a forced and sincere smile, trying to convey a certain kind of confidence.

On this night in the spring of the 14th year of the Apocalypse, the entire Chang'an City and even the whole world were paying attention to the opening of the second floor of Tomorrow's Academy. But no one knew how important this matter was to the ordinary young man who had been cruelly judged countless times to practice in the back house of the book shop in the humble alley in Dongcheng, Chang'an.
