When you walk into the main entrance of Bodhi College, the first thing you see is the cracked green bricks. On the left and right are brick houses, with multiple floors. Some houses are used for student accommodation, and some houses are used for students to study and specialize.

While walking inside, the cute old man introduced to Fang Ze.

Everything you can see in the Bodhi Temple has a history of thousands of years. Due to its small size, Bodhi Academy only enrolls 200 students per year. But there are thousands of students who come to sign up, and these thousands of people will be stationed at the foot of the mountain, waiting for the moment when the college starts to take the exam. The method of the examination will be different every year, and this year's examination method will be determined by the dean.

The old man walked intermittently for more than twenty minutes. Houses are becoming scarcer, and large buildings are increasing. Standing on Tai Chi Square, one side is paved with white jade bricks, and the other side is paved with ink-colored jade bricks. Under the sunlight, it reflects different brilliance.

Looking at the two tall buildings in front of him, Fang Ze cautiously asked the old man, "Elder, what are the two towers in this square for?"

The old man seemed to know that Fang Ze would definitely ask, and replied casually: "This is the Yin and Yang Twin Towers, also called the Shuangji Pavilion." Sitting on top of the black brick is the Anode Pavilion, which contains many experiences and exercises left by predecessors. Sitting on top of the white bricks is the Cathode Pavilion, which contains many monsters and levels. The anode pavilion improves the realm, and the cathode pavilion consolidates the cultivation. ”

Hearing such a design, Fang Ze's heart rippled. It's really unbelievable that this Bodhi Institute still has such means that students can learn and use it lively.

Passing through the Yin-Yang Square, the two continued to walk forward. Fang Ze also asked the question in his heart, he had always wanted to ask what kind of relationship this elder had with his master.

The elder who led Fang Ze into the courtyard was named Shuxin Zhenren, and he was one of the twenty-four elders of the Bodhi Ancient Academy. Elder Shuxin cultivated in the late five-star stage, and was in charge of the Digong Branch together with Elder Yueshan. Elder Shuxin, Elder Yue Shan, and Huayang Runhai were all the best disciples of the Gen Branch. In particular, it is the heart of the tree, and when he was a student, he had a very close relationship with Huayang Runhai.

Today can be regarded as a coincidence, it was his turn to be on duty in the hospital, and he saw someone coming with Huayang Runhai's jade card. Decades ago, Huayang Runhai sent him a letter. said that his son will also come to the Bodhi Ancient Academy to study, hoping that Shuxin can take care of one or two.

Unexpectedly, for three years in a row, Shuxin didn't see a teenager surnamed Huayang. Later, he wrote back to Huayang Runhai and learned that Huayang's son died in the outing. Ten years, twenty years, thirty years, forty years, this old friend Shuxin has almost forgotten this matter. Unexpectedly, just today, he encountered something related to that person again.

When I walked into the Gen Courtyard, there were eighty-one houses in total. Each of the three rows is in a group, and the path between each group is extremely wide. These houses are arranged according to the hexagram of Gen, from the inside to the outside, they are yin, yin, and yang.

Shuxin took Fang Ze and the three of them to a room and let Fang Ze sit opposite him.

Fang Ze looked at the surrounding walls, all of which were made of bluestone. Due to the proximity of Tiger Roaring Mountain in Donghai County to the seaside, the humidity is extremely heavy, and there is already water mist condensing on the bluestone wall at this time.

Shuxin poured a cup of hot tea for Fang Ze, just like an elder cares about a junior. Gently put the hot tea beside Fang Ze and motioned for Fang Ze to drink tea to warm his body.

Picking up the teacup, Fang Ze sniffed it, and the tea was not very fragrant. I took a sip and the taste was very strong, with a lot of tea leaves. Fang Ze put the teacup on the table and looked at the real person in front of him. He opened his mouth and asked, "Elder Shuxin, I want to enter the Bodhi Academy to practice, and I don't know if there are any specific rules here in the Bodhi Academy. ”

Sitting on the chair, the fat on the real person in the heart of the tree will flow down. Shuxin touched his cheek and thought for a moment. He said in a very strong Donghai accent: "There is no difficulty in entering our Bodhi Academy, as long as you pass the test." The general ratio is 30 to 1, but if you find it difficult, there are other options. ”

Hearing something in Tree Heart's words, Fang Ze hurriedly asked, "May I ask Elder Tree Heart, what are the other methods?"

The real person of the tree heart stroked his beard a few times, and the corners of his mouth moved slightly. Putting his hand down naturally, the real person of the tree heart closed the corners of his mouth again.

Sitting opposite the real person in the heart of the tree, Fang Ze didn't dare to ask. After waiting for ten minutes, the real person of the tree heart was silent. After waiting for another twenty minutes, the real person of the tree heart was still silent. Fang Ze waited a little anxiously, and after carefully observing the real person in the tree heart, Fang Ze knew that the real person in the heart of the tree was actually asleep.

Awkward, mercilessly embarrassing. The entire room, Fang Ze, Tianyan, and Yinhuan, waited silently. Fang Ze sat on the chair, Yinhuan stood behind Fang Ze, and Tianyan was lying on the ground.

Fang Ze took out a book from the ring and flipped through it casually in his hand. This is the "County Chronicles" that Fang Zelin bought in Dayang County before he left. It gave a detailed introduction to the situation in various states and counties in the world, and Fang Ze was just flipping through the information related to Donghai County.

Forty minutes later, Yinhuan whispered, "Childe, should we wake up this elder?" ”

Fang Ze shook his head, and the voice replied: "It's better not to, wait a while, it's rude after all." ”

Just as Fang Ze was about to continue reading the books, a young voice came into the room from outside the door. "Uncle Shuxin, the dean is looking for you. ”

Hearing the word "dean", Shuxin immediately put away the saliva on his lips. Just like an ordinary person eating noodles, gently squeeze and swallow the saliva in the mouth. Tree Heart True opened his sleepy eyes and wiped the saliva stains from the corners of his mouth with his sleeve.

He stood up and looked at Fang Ze and said, "Xiao Ze, you wait here." I went to the dean's trip, and I came back in just ten minutes. ”

Fang Ze smiled and nodded, looking at the back of the real person in the heart of the tree.

After seeing the real person of Shuxin leaving, Fang Ze turned his head to look at the silver ring. He said, "You've been standing for a long time, so find a stool and sit for a while." ”

Yinhuan didn't leave the spot, but moved his legs slightly. Then he stood straight behind Fang Ze, like a statue. Fang Ze continued to look at the book, waiting for the return of the real person in the heart of the tree.

On the top floor of the Anode Pavilion, a middle-aged man in a purple robe stood at the fence and watched the scenery in the Bodhi Academy. Behind the purple-robed middle-aged man, there stood a round old man.

In the world of cultivation, it is not possible to judge one's true age by one's apparent age. Some people cultivate quickly and reach a very high level of cultivation at a very young age, so they will age at a slower rate than others. On the contrary, if a person's cultivation speed is very slow, then his aging speed will be faster than others. Obviously, Tree Heart is a good example of the opposite, he only reached the five-star realm when he was seventy years old.

The purple-robed middle-aged man didn't look back, but just asked, "Shuxin, who is that child you brought today?"

Shuxin Zhenren respectfully returned: "Teacher, he is Runhai's apprentice. ”

"Runhai's kid has accepted an apprentice, is he still such a young child?" asked the Dean of the Bodhi Academy.

Treeheart continued to respectfully return: "Yes, but I don't think there should be a fake. He knows a little about Runhai, and judging from the information that he received from the jade plate, it was indeed given by Runhai voluntarily. ”

The dean twisted the eighteen prayer beads in his hand and said, "That kid's practice is so special that even I can't see the details. And then there is the demon beast that follows the child, which is a mutated demon beast. The maidservant girl who followed behind was a silver-ringed python after transformation. When such information is gathered together, it can't help but make people think too much. ”

Tree Heart explained: "I don't have anything special about the child, I also noticed the mutated demon beast and the shape-changing demon beast. Maybe this kid is lucky, and the opportunity is not necessarily good. ”

Hearing the word luck, the purple-robed dean sighed. said: "I hope this kid really doesn't have any other thoughts, after all, luck can't be seen or touched." You pay attention, arrange a room for him, and then make him wait for the exam. We can still observe this time, after all, that time is coming soon. ”

Elder Treeheart gave a deep salute to the dean's back, then turned and walked down the Anode Pavilion.

Walking to the door of his room, Shuxin Zhenren saw that Fang Ze was still reading. A light cough interrupted Fang Ze's thoughts.

Pushing open the door, Fang Ze closed the book in his hand. Stood up and looked at the real person in the heart of the tree. Shuxin Zhenren sat down in his place and took a sip of the tea that had been cooled. put the teacup down and saw that Fang Ze was still standing in place. Hurriedly said: "Sit, sit." ”

The previous "sitting" was said by Fang Ze, and the subsequent "all sitting" was said to Yinhuan. Yinhuan found a stool around and sat beside Fang Ze impartially.

Seeing the two of them sitting down, the real person in the heart of the tree started the greeting mode.

Shuxin Zhenren: "Little nephew, how is your master Runhai's body?

Fang Ze: "Back to Uncle Shi, Master, his old man's health is okay, but he is quite old. As for the cultivation of the master and his old man, according to himself, it should be the strength of the late stage of the second star. ”

"Impossible, Runhai's cultivation talent is the best among us. It's been almost a hundred years, and it's impossible to only have a two-star late-stage cultivation. Shuxin Zhenren was a little excited, he really couldn't accept this fact.

When Fang Ze saw Shuxin Zhenren in such a state, he didn't know how to answer, so he could only be silent.

After two minutes, the real person of the tree heart asked again, "What is the reason? Who did it?"

Who did it? Fang Ze didn't know how to answer this question. What is the reason? Fang Ze has an answer. Fang Ze found a gap and explained to Shuxin Zhenren: "Senior Uncle, calm down. Master told me that he had failed in a refining attempt. The spiritual power rebounded with the meridians, and he was seriously injured. This led to the cultivation of the master and his old man, and he could only stay below three stars. ”

Shuxin Zhenren looked at Fang Ze's eyes and asked rhetorically, "Do you believe it?"

"I ...... I", Fang Ze was speechless for a while. I thought to myself, "I don't know if I can believe it or not?" ”

Shuxin sighed lightly and said, "Alas, your master has good intentions!"

The sound dissipated, and the room fell silent.

After a while, Fang Ze asked tentatively, "Uncle Shi, you have a good relationship with Master, can you tell me about Master's previous affairs?"

Hearing Fang Ze's question, the true mind of the tree heart was pulled. looked at Fang Ze's sincere eyes and said, "Then I'll let you know what kind of person your master is." ”
