Chapter 148 Opening a Building

For Ning Que, opening the second floor is a big deal. No matter whether he has the possibility of seizing the slim opportunity, at least this opportunity is realistically placed in front of him. For most people, being calm when facing major events is a quality worth appreciating.

Ning Que, who has experienced countless life and death tests, was able to do this. Whenever he encountered a real big event, he not only forced himself to calm down, but also had to do the most important preparation, that is, take Sang with him. Sang walked with him.

The spring day has not yet looked up, and Chang'an City is still pitch black. He took Sangsang to leave Zhuque Gate in a carriage. When he arrived at the academy at the foot of the mountain in the southern suburbs, the morning breeze was still cool, and it should be a quiet academy meadow was already extremely lively.

The Yulin Army cavalry in full armor were vigilantly patrolling around. Under the temporary sunset, officials from the Ministry of Rites were nervously arranging seats. Under the green trees in the distance, some men in Tang Dynasty uniforms were wearing Tang Dynasty uniforms. He stopped without expression, not knowing which department these people belong to , and naturally the smell of danger appeared on his body.

Looking at the lively but solemn scenes around him, Ning Que remembered the academy admission exam a year ago and found that today's safety alert level was not much different from the day of the admission exam. Only then did he figure out something.

Of course, the opening of the second floor cannot be just a major event in his life, which is a major event for the entire Chang'an City. This year, because Prince Longqing from the Temple Judgment Department was about to enter the second floor of the academy, it involved the complex relationship between the Tang Empire, the Xiling Temple and the Yan Kingdom, and it became a major event that attracted attention from all over the world.

Due to his strict vigilance and poor luck, Sangsang failed to enter the academy this time, and had no choice but to stay in the meadow outside the stone gate of the academy and wait.

At this time, there was still half a day before the second floor was opened. Ning Que came here deliberately in advance, naturally not to sit in the grass in the academy like a tourist to bask in the sun. He walked into the familiar academy and followed the slope behind him The alley passed through the bamboo forest, walked around the wetland for two rounds, then walked to the old bookstore and greeted the teacher who had just woken up , lifted up the front and walked upstairs.

I don't know if it was because it was too early or something else, but there was no childish figure of Professor Yu next to the desk by the east window . Ning Que was slightly stunned, walked to the desk by the west window, poured water into ink and moistened the hair. After several deep breaths, he wrote a random letter. He confirmed that his mood was clear and quiet, so he put his pen and left.

Walking through the large dense forest behind the wetland, the eyes suddenly became wide open. The green meadow was as smooth as felt in the morning light of birth, making people who saw it want to take off their clothes and roll on it.

This is a very remote place in the academy. In the past six months, few students will come here except Ning Que himself. Even those who come will only sit on the edge of the meadow and look at the stars and talk about love, rather than strolling across the meadow. At such a long distance, I walked to the middle of the sword-like forest.

Ning Que walked into the high and steep trees, gently stroked the smooth and branchless trunks with his palms, looked up at the sparse branches at the top of the forest, his eyebrows slightly frowned, and he was speechless.

"What did you do today?" The light voice of the female professor sounded in the woods.

"The students have met Mr."

Ning Que looked at the figure gradually approaching the forest, gave a very respectful gift, straightened up and thought carefully for a moment, and replied, "I ate a bowl of chicken noodle soup today, served with shredded radish, and came to the academy by carriage. Stand outside the stone gate for a while, then go to the Bingshe to put down your things, walk around the lake for two and a half, and go to the old bookstore to meet the teacher, and then want to go upstairs to ask you for advice. Because you are not here, I wrote a letter. So I came here."

The female professor walked up to him, and the face that could never be seen was quiet and peaceful. She did not ask Ning Que what he wanted to ask for advice, but smiled slightly and said calmly, "It's a pity that you still can't calm down after doing so many things."

Ning nodded and answered honestly: "I know I don't have any chance, but I can't help but have some luck thinking. Once I have an idea, it's difficult to calm down. I wonder if there is anything to teach me?"

"I'm just a mediocre person in the Cave Xuan Realm." The female professor gently lifted up the hair floating on her forehead and said with a smile: "For people like you, there is really no way to teach you."

Ning Que smiled and scratched his head awkwardly.

"There is no need to be harsh in any situation. Although you are also a good bookmaker, after all, the young man's mind cannot sit by the east window like me, and he will not know the year and month as soon as he writes a hairpin."

The female professor looked at him and said softly: "A lot of things in the world are not about whether you have the ability to do it, but whether you dare to think. If you don't even dare to think about it and are controlled by self-doubt, then you are a weak person. People. I just need to know how strong or powerful your idea of ​​entering the second floor is?"

Ning Que was about to say something, but he didn't expect to hear something that shocked him.

"If you give up on entering the second floor today, I can introduce you to a strong man who is not inferior to Liu Bai as your teacher."

Nympho

Nympho

The forest was quiet. Ning Que looked at the female professor's calm face and found that the other party's tone of saying this was so casual and ordinary, as if he was saying that if you don't want to eat pancakes, I will make a bowl for you. The sesame pasta has no show of showing off, but it has an unquestionable meaning.

However... Liu Bai , the sword saint of Southern Jin, is recognized as the most powerful person in the world. Want to introduce a strong man who is not inferior to Liu Bai to be his teacher? Where can I find such a person in the world? How do the female professor recognize it?

Ning Que was so shocked that he could not speak for a long time. For some reason, he believed in the female professor's promise very much, but he also didn't know why. When he opened his mouth hard, the answer he said was no.

"I still want to...try it and see if I can enter the second floor."

A funny smile appeared in the female professor's eyes, and he looked at him and asked, "Why?"

Ning Que hesitated after a moment of silence, "I don't know why, but I just feel like I've been tossing about this matter for so long and putting so much effort into it. If I don't try it, I'm always unwilling to give up."

"That's all?" The female professor looked at his eyes quietly.

Ning Que scratched his head and responded a little embarrassedly: "Because I really want to go to the second floor to take a look."

The female professor looked at the awkward expression on his face and suddenly smiled, and her beauty suddenly increased. She smiled and said, "Thinking is the key. As long as people want to do, they can often be done. People's ideas or ambitions are originally The most beautiful thing in the world, it is the right choice for you to stick to it."

"I told you last time that these trees are like swords inserted into the earth. If you can pull these trees out, they will be swords that stab into the sky. Human persistence is the self, and the self is in your hands. The sword."

"It's just a pity." She turned around and walked out of the sword forest , leaving behind a sigh.

Ning Que didn't understand what this regret meant, and thought nervously, was the female professor who meant that although she had good roots and bones, she was quite determined, but she still couldn't be a match for Prince Longqing this time?

Looking at the back of the slender li, who was about to disappear at the edge of the sword forest, he suddenly asked, "Sir, is it true that you said that if I don't enter the second floor, will I introduce the teacher to me?"

The female professor did not look back and calmly replied, "Of course it is true."

Ning Que raised his hand to cover his forehead and asked with a smile: "Can I regret it now?"

The female professor smiled and replied, "I have given you a chance."

...

...

Thoughts, persistence, self, ambition, sword.

The female professor's words seemed to be covered with a layer of veil, and she couldn't see the true meaning hidden inside, but Ning Que vaguely understood something. When the female professor would say these words to him, he naturally saw his nature. Since he fled from Chang'an City at the age of four, Ning Que relied on these spiritual temperaments to live and live better and better.

Thinking of the solemn expression of Chen Pipi in the old bookstore last night, "be careful of the original intention" and "do the ultimate" that Ning Que found that this was actually the same as the female professor's statement. After careful thinking, he still didn't know. What is the test method when the second floor is opened, but you can probably guess what the test aspects are.

"This should be something I'm good at."

Ning Que clenched his fists gently, walked through the wetlands and quiet alleys, and came to the front floor of the academy, which was already crowded.

There are so many people who appear in the building complex of Qingmei Academy, which is black and white. The professors and doctors who spend most of their daily lives are working on their own topics, bringing various chairs to the outdoors. Holding hot tea in her, she fiercely argued about the matter on the second floor today, and even started to make bets.

The students of the academy were even present early. Although most of them dared not expect to enter the second floor, no one was willing to miss such a moment. The students surrounded the six students in the art department in the center and kept going. Come on cheering them up, and Xie Chengyun, the Southern Jin Dynasty, was naturally the focus of everyone's attention.

It was almost noon.

Accompanied by melodious rituals and music, Princess Li Peiyan, Princess Li Yu, and several officials of the court came from under the meadow, followed by envoys from various countries and dozens of priests and Taoists from the Xiling Temple.

Some of the green trees beside the meadow's central road have bloomed, pink , fresh and cute, especially the peach tree near the main entrance of the academy, which is very blooming for some reason, tenderly shining in the spring breeze.

A young man in dark plain clothes walked from the way , and the blooming peach blossoms were set against his perfect cheeks, and suddenly lost all the colors. This person was Prince Longqing of Yan State.

The deputy director of the Xiling Yutian Academy , Mo Li, all the priests below , and the envoys of various countries stood up together. The students of the academy who were discussing a lot suddenly became silent. Even those professors and doctors who were used to seeing the opening ceremony of the second floor were looking at the sunshine. The young prince walking among the shadows of flowers couldn't help but stroking his hands and exclaiming.

Ning Que stood in the corner outside the crowd, watching the movements between the scenes. No one noticed him. Even after that day, no one would really regard an ordinary academy student as his opponent to Prince Longqing.

A college professor came out.

Seeing this professor appear, both the princess and the great figures of the Xiling Temple stood up and bowed slightly, because the professor was a divine talisman master who lived in seclusion in the academy and had a very noble identity. For such a person, there was no such person. Who would put on airs in front of him? What's more, the professor was responsible for hosting the opening ceremony of the second floor of the academy today.

"The second floor of the academy will open today, and only one person will be recruited."

The professor looked at hundreds of people in the venue expressionlessly and said, "I don't know if I used some talisman technique, but the old voice was clearly heard in everyone's ears, and it didn't seem to be loud and deafening ."

"The exam method is simple."

The professor pointed to the mountain behind the academy, which was covered by clouds and mist, and said, "The stone path is circling around the mountain. If you want to enter the second floor of the academy, please climb the mountain at will. Whoever can reach the top of the mountain will be able to enter the second floor. If you can't even walk, Then we will judge the winner by who can reach the higher level."

...

...

The winner is determined by climbing a mountain to decide who is qualified to enter the second floor of the academy?

The people on the front floor of the academy looked puzzled and confused, thinking that this was too ridiculous and ridiculous . However, there was no expression on the faces of Prince Li Peiyan, priest Mo Li and others. These big names still knew some details about the opening of the second floor in previous years. They knew that people in the academy liked to make such mysterious things, but they didn't I would think that this kind of mystery is a joke.

Everyone in the venue raised their heads and looked at the mountain behind the academy. At this time, the sun had risen to the top of the sky, and the light was the most intense. However, for some reason, the blazing sunlight could not dispel the fog on the hillside. People could not see the mountain in Chu Yunwu at all, and could only see the clouds. The slanted mountain road below.

It was not until this time that many students in the academy remembered that they had never seen this mountain in person. Although the mountain was tall and dangerous, it was just behind the academy, but it became as if it had disappeared because of its silence and calmness. It's average.

The mountains are there, and the mountains are there forever. Since that's the case, why bother to see them specifically?

The road to the back mountain is just behind the Jing Lane of the Academy. Just behind a fence not far from the second floor, people stand on the stone plaza of the Academy and can clearly see the not very rugged section at the foot of the mountain. mountain road.

It was quiet and no one spoke.

Time passed by minute by minute, and no one walked towards the mountains.

"It seems that the little monk has to take the lead."

Just in the dead silence caused by tension, a person's voice suddenly sounded. To everyone's surprise, it was not the students in the academy who started climbing the mountain and moving towards the second floor of the academy, nor the Prince Longqing, who was regarded as the Son of God by the believers of Haotiandao all over the world , but... a young monk.

The monk was about to be in his twenties, handsome, wearing a ragged but clean robe on his body, and a pair of straw sandals on his feet. The edges of the straw sandals were almost rotten. You can imagine that these shoes accompanied him by There are so many poor mountains and rivers, and there are thorns everywhere. However, if you look carefully, you can see that there is no dirt on his feet.

It is as white as a lotus.
