Chapter 263: Assessment

As the young man entered the deacon hall and registered his name, Lin Fan followed him out again, and the two walked left along the road in front of the deacon hall.

After a turn. When you go to the left, you will see a long circular corridor with two feet on the edge. There was a red pillar in the middle of every two pillars, and there was also an arch

They walked forward along the corridor, passing through arches and pillars, and Lin Fan realized that in each arch, there was a small courtyard, which seemed to be the living place of the disciples of the academy.

In terms of scale. There are no less than a hundred such small courtyards, and it can be seen that there are still more disciples in Yue Academy than rumored.

Walked for a while. At the end of this corridor, there was a towering white wall, with a large door and two thick wooden doors underneath. Ten feet high, almost looking up, I don't know where to find such a huge amount of wood.

The young man turned a blind eye to this, he was numb when he went in and out on weekdays, his face was not as moved as Lin Fan's, his face was expressionless, and he walked straight out of this door. Lin Fan hurriedly followed.

As soon as he stepped out of this door, Lin Fan felt suddenly enlightened. With a big heart, he looked at everything in front of him in disbelief and was stunned.

Now. It's almost a legendary wonderland.

A huge square, the ground is paved with white jade, the light is shining, at a glance, it makes people feel small, and the white clouds are in the distance. It was like a light veil, and it was floating in the middle of the square at your feet. From time to time, there is a light smoke floating in the ancient ding, and its taste is clear but not dispersed.

"This way. Seeing that Lin Fan was surprised, the young man showed a smile on his face, and let him look at it for a while before waking him up and continuing to walk forward

And directly in front of it is the main hall of the college.

The two moved on. Walking through the high stone steps, you can see the golden plaque from afar, and the three big characters of "Taiqu Palace" are written on it.

Before coming to the majestic hall, I saw that the door was wide open, the light inside was abundant, and the backstage in front of the hall was enshrined with a solemn white shirt Confucian scholar.

There is a person sitting on the futon in the middle of the main hall, with a childish face and crane hair, a solemn treasure appearance, a fairy wind and bones, and a strong and elegant atmosphere. His face is quiet and peaceful, as if he is a monk who has no quarrel with the world, but there is a momentum between his eyebrows that is not angry and self-threatening, which makes people dare not look directly.

"Come in with me!" the young man reminded, and stepped in first. Lin Fan followed

Lin Fan entered the Taiqu Hall with the young man, let go of his divine sense to inspect the old Confucian sitting upright, and then he was surprised to find that the old Confucian scholar's cultivation had reached the peak of the Yuan Shen, the realm of a half-step immortal.

Moreover, this Confucian scholar's inner breath is deep and bottomless, very deep, but it gives people a feeling of humility, Lin Fan thought, this old Confucian should be the legendary old master, the dean of the Confucius Academy.

Really. The young man stepped forward and bowed deeply, "Master, Lin Fan has already brought it." But he didn't mention Princess Huashao. just handed over the letter of recommendation from Huang Ce to the old Confucian scholar.

Then the young man introduced the old Confucian to Lin Fan, "This, the dean of the academy, the old master." ”

The old master read the letter, but he didn't mention Princess Hua Shao, he just stood up from the futon and stared at Lin Fan, his eyes were warm and bright, but they were as bright as a torch, giving people a keen sense of insight.

Lin Fan hugged his fists and said, "I have long heard of the old master's name, and when I see it today, he is really like a god." ”

Lin Fan's words were a little ironic, but there were no flaws, so Lin Fan wanted to worry but couldn't find a reason, he seemed to smile gently, and said, "The head of the Jingye Division, the celebrity favored by the saint, the immortal, and the head of the supreme...... You Lin Fan also deserve your reputation!!"

"The old master is wrong, compared with the old master, I am like the fluorescent and the stars and the moon, one underground, one in the sky, it is a world of difference......" Seeing that the old master was ridiculed, Lin Fan also mocked, anyway, he was born with a good mouth, would he still be afraid that this sour Confucianism would not succeed? ?

"Huh. Okay, let's keep complimenting each other like this, goosebumps are going to fall. The old master waved his hand, smiled bitterly and said, "Lin Fan, let's get down to business, you want to join the academy for further study, right?"

"Exactly. Lin Fan said.

"Hmm. In fact, as early as half a month ago, Huang Ce greeted me. He said that he wanted to protect you to come in, but my master's academy has rules, and although there is a holy guarantee, you still have to pass through my pass. ”

"Ugh. Lin Fan was stunned. "You want to test me, just come on,"

"Hmm. Very good. The old master showed appreciation, stroked his beard and said, "Lin Fan, I think you also know that our academy is very strict in selecting students, we want people who have reached a certain level of strength and literary attainments, we don't need to test your cultivation strength, now I want to test your literary attainments......

There is no clear definition of literature. I will give you a score based on your performance, and if you can score 60 points, you can enter the academy. If you can't, then I'm sorry, you can do it, we don't accept ......"

Seeing that the old master was a little verbose, Lin Fan didn't wait for him to finish speaking before he said, "If I don't pass the test, I'll leave immediately." ”

"Good. The old master nodded, and gave the young man a look. The young man explained to Lin Fan, "Now let's test your literary attainments, test your literary attainments, which are divided into two levels, the first level is a couplet, I will make an upper couplet, you will make a lower couplet, and the second level is to compose a poem, and in the time of a pillar of incense, you can complete a poem independently...... Got it?"

Lin Fan nodded. Understood.

The young man said, "Okay, now let's start the couplet, my couplet is, Chunjia Qianshan Xiu......"

Lin Fan thought, this topic is too pediatric, this is too insignificant compared to my thousands of years of Chinese literature, right, after a little thought, he said, "Flowers are fragrant." ”

The young man didn't expect Lin Fan to answer so neatly, and he was right very well, this literary foundation should be top-notch among the students who participated in the previous elections.

His gaze looked at the old master, intended to inquire.

The old master stroked his beard and nodded with a smile, indicating that he could pass.

The young man then went into the inner hall and took out pen, ink, paper, inkstone and an incense burner, placed them on a few cases, first helped Lin Fan grind the ink, and then lit a stick of incense, and then said to Lin Fan, "Okay, the second level begins, you have to finish a poem within the time of a pillar of incense." ”

Lin Fan nodded. didn't say much, walked directly to a few cases, took a deep breath, and then picked up a pen and wrote a poem on rice paper.

This poem was written in one go, without the slightest drag, and the old master and the young man were stunned.

After the poem was written, Lin Fan exhaled deeply, put down the pen, and said to the young man, "Okay!"

The young man glanced at the incense on the cases, and saw that only one-fifth of it had been burned, and with a look of surprise and some impatience, he moved to the front of the cases, picked up the poem written by Lin Fan and read it silently, his face immediately showed a look of surprise, and he nodded to the old master,

When the old master saw his excited expression, he said, "I'll listen to it." ”

The young man said, "The bright moonlight in front of the window is suspected to be frost on the ground, raise your head to look at the bright moon, and bow your head to think of your hometown!"

After thinking about it, except for Lin Fan, both of them fell into a deep shock, even if they were as calm as an old master. At this time, he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and directly high-fived and praised, "Wonderful, wonderful." ”

Then he stepped forward and snatched the poem directly from the young man's hand, and after reading it carefully, he couldn't help but read it again, and then held the poem in his hand, and continued to praise it in his mouth:

"This poem is unpretentious, but it expresses a kind of artistic conception, and the homesickness of the wanderer is vividly expressed in this poem, wonderful, wonderful......"

This poem is not written by Lin Fan, Lin Fan does not have such literary talents, this poem is a famous work of the Tang Dynasty poet immortal Li Bai, Lin Fan just took a poem by Li Bai to take the test.

After praising it, the old master's eyes turned to Lin Fan, his eyes lit up, and he was shocked for a while, and said sincerely, "Lin Fan, your poem is so wonderful, to be honest, even I can't make it,

Lin Fan, you have been admitted, and now, you have officially become a student of the Confucius Academy......"

"Thank you, old master. Lin Fan said.

The young man standing on the side reminded, "Lin Fan, you should change your name to Shizun now......"

"Uh...... Master!" Lin Fan arched his hand.

The young man said, "The newly admitted students are to bow down to the teacher. ”

Lin Fan said, "I don't kneel in front of the saint, if I kneel down for the master, it will be difficult to explain to the saint in the future." ”

The old master waved his hand and said, "Excuse me, excuse me, those red tape will not be necessary, Lin Fan's cultivation is profound, and his writing is brilliant, I will give him this special case, and he will not kneel to me in the future." ”

A strange look appeared on the young man's face. He is the first disciple of the old master, and he has been with the old master for almost 20 years, and this rule has really not changed. Unexpectedly, Lin Fan broke this first case. However, Lin Fan is indeed brilliant, this is an indisputable fact. The old master is a person who cherishes talents, and it is reasonable to make an exception for him.

"However, there are no rules," the old master glanced at the three of them, reminding, "It's better not to let outsiders know about this matter,"

"Yes. The young man said respectfully.

"Ugh. By the way, Lin Fan, let me introduce you to it. This is my first student, named Fang Qiu, and I'll let him take you to the hospital for admission......" The old master said, pointing to the young man.

Hearing this, Lin Fan glanced at Fang Qiu, and only then did he understand why his cultivation was so profound. It turned out to be the first disciple of the old master, presumably among all the students in this master's academy, this Fangqiu's cultivation should be the highest.

"Uh, hello Senior Brother Fang. Lin Fan said.

Fang Qiu was a little flattered when he saw Lin Fan calling him Senior Brother, and immediately returned the salute, "Hello Senior Brother Lin." ”

"Haha, alright, Fang Qiu. You take Lin Fan to go through the admission procedures first," the old master said happily.

"Yes. Fang Qiu respectfully agreed.

Then, along with the square mound. Leave the Taiqu Hall and go to the deacon hall to go through the admission procedures,

Originally, all the disciples who entered the courtyard could be assigned to a small courtyard, which was spacious and elegant like a courtyard. It is quiet and quiet, which is very suitable for practicing and studying literature.

Confucius Academy is like a university on earth. There is a canteen, and unlike it, the academy also has a Dan pharmacy and a secret art storehouse, as well as a martial arts arena, the Dan medicine store is a place to store Dan, and the secret art library is a place to store immortal secret law books. The martial arts arena is a place for students to learn from each other.

Fang Qiu knew that Lin Fan's status was very unusual, and he was valued by the old master, so he didn't dare to slack off, and diligently handled various procedures for him, while carefully introducing him to the geographical environment, major buildings, rules and affairs in the academy.
