Because of his age, and his performance in the previous entrance exam was too amazing, he directly broke through the imperial realm within a few days of admission, and now his reputation among students is very high, but with it, there are not many students who dare to get close to him.

After all, as a friend, if the gap is too big, the pressure will be great. Especially Yu Suling, who is the same as Mu Lingxian, also shows the appearance that no one is allowed to enter, and the two freshmen who have attracted the most attention in the academy this year will rarely take the initiative to approach.

A few freshmen who had met him before the exam and were still familiar with him, Yuan Tianqi was curious and grinning, although he often made a fuss about Mu Lingxian's talent and shouted monsters, but he still didn't care about pulling him around and running west.

Therefore, although he thinks that he is a little long-winded and annoying, and likes to enter other people's rooms without permission, Mu Lingxian still does not dislike this = friend.

Otherwise, with Yuan Tianqi's current strength of the master realm, how could he pull Mu Ling Immortal, who was already in the imperial realm?

But he did have some interest in that Zhou Dao.

The three of them walked towards the teleportation array together, but the target was not the previous martial arts branch or the central square, but the Qimen branch.

The Qimen Branch has always been the most deserted college in the academy, even if there are so many students now, but the area of the seven branches is the same, for example, the martial arts branch accommodates six-figure students, but it is still more than enough, and although the number of students in the Qimen branch has increased, it is not even one percent of the martial arts branch in proportion.

There is only the Qimen Pavilion located next to the branch, and students from other branches often visit to find the Qimen branch to issue tasks, create some strange things, or do other strange things.

But today, the antechamber of the Qimen branch is rarely crowded with people.

However, as can be seen from the school uniform, they are basically students from other branches.

Even though Mu Lingxian and Yuan Tianqi had already arrived very early, they were still very far behind.

Mu Lingxian noticed that there were several powerful monks guarding the door, as if they were protecting something.

Yuan Tianqi also noticed it, and said: "Those are all monks who protect Director Zhou, after all, Director Zhou's cultivation is not high, and he needs someone to protect him to go out in this year, but there is actually no need in the academy, there is no safer place in the world than the academy now." ”

For this Director Zhou, Mu Lingxian had only heard a few rumors, in fact, he didn't deliberately learn about it, but because he was too famous, he couldn't help but hear about it. At this time, he was also a little surprised to hear that Director Zhou's cultivation was not high.

His understanding of Director Zhou is limited to knowing that he is the one who created such a thing as "movies", and he was also born in the academy.

The existence of movies has swept the entire continent, and it is said that it is ranked as the two wonders of the academy alongside another game called football, and even in a small rural town like Bianping City, where Mu Lingxian was located before, there is a popularity of movies, which can be seen.

And the name of Director Zhou, who created the movie, became famous all over the world along with the movie, and was known as the first genius of the Qimen branch of the academy.

A person who is so famous in the immortal cultivation world is not even highly cultivated, does he still need someone to protect him?

Moreover, he noticed that those monks who were protecting the outside were also at the lowest level of cultivation.

Although it was nothing in the Academy's Imperial Realm, he had never seen anyone in the Academy with such a big pomp.

Although the hall was crowded, everyone was queuing up in an orderly manner.

What seems to be going on at the front, that Director Zhou seems to be in the innermost, meeting the students one by one.

When each of the students left after the meeting, they all seemed very happy, and most of them did not leave the Qimen branch directly, but waited outside.

When he got closer, Mu Lingxian finally saw clearly, but there was a long table in the front, and there was a person sitting behind the table, who was lowering his head, writing something on the cover of a scroll, and then handed the finished scroll to the student in front of him.

At this time, Mu Lingxian also saw his appearance clearly, this was a middle-aged man who looked not young, with a white face and beard, with an ordinary appearance, wearing a somewhat strange hat, and looking very tired.

As for cultivation, there is only the realm of kings.

This made Mu Lingxian really a little surprised, is this the Zhou Dao that Yuan Tianqi was thinking about? It looks a little ordinary.

It was obviously not only Yuan Tianqi who admired Director Zhou, the student who got the scroll seemed very excited, and shook hands with Director Zhou: "Director Zhou...... I've always loved your work. ”

Director Zhou smiled kindly: "Thank you, but I'm also a student of the academy, just a few years older than you, just call me Senior Zhou." ”

"Yes, Senior Zhou!" the student said excitedly: "I have seen all your works, you are really too talented, I am proud to have a senior like you." ”

After saying a few words of similar worship, the student reluctantly let go of Director Zhou's hand and left, and then the next person picked it up, and it was the same picture again.

Mu Lingxian noticed that the words "Zhou Xingxing" were written on the scroll.

"Zhou Xingxing?" Mu Lingxian was a little stunned: "Isn't it Director Zhou?"

"You idiot. Yuan Tianqi rolled his eyes at him: "Director Zhou is the meaning of Director Zhou, and Zhou Xingxing is Director Zhou's real name." ”

Mu Lingxian: "......"

He always thought that Director Zhou was called Director Zhou.

I don't know why, Mu Lingxian vaguely felt that he seemed to have seen such a picture somewhere.

Where exactly?

When he racked his brains and couldn't remember, the line had already lined up with him and Yuan Tianqi.

Yuan Tianqi seemed as excited as everyone else, grabbed Director Zhou's hand and said a lot of words of worship, and when he got the scroll, he was almost happy to jump up.

When leaving, he glanced at Mu Lingxian and signaled him not to talk nonsense.

Of course, he knew that Mu Lingxian was not an admirer of Director Zhou, and the reason why he was pulled over was to let him gather more people to receive a signed scroll.

Although he did the same thing to everyone, Director Zhou's attitude was still very gentle, and he smiled slightly when he saw Mu Lingxian.

"You're a freshman, right? There are such young freshmen in the academy now, I seem to have heard before, there is a very young genius among this year's freshmen, it should be you, it's really young, it's good. Director Zhou smiled and said, "If only I had such a good talent as you." ”

Mu Lingxian looked directly at Director Zhou, and suddenly asked, "Didn't you graduate from the academy?"

When he asked, the people around him were in an uproar.

Someone among the students suddenly shouted in dissatisfaction.

"Hey, stinky boy, what do you say?"

"How can you say such things to Director Zhou?"

"If you can't speak, say less!"

"Isn't this the genius freshman of the Martial Arts Branch?

Obviously, Mu Lingxian's words caused many people to be dissatisfied.

But Director Zhou didn't look angry at all, but laughed.

"You're really ...... That's right. ”

As soon as he spoke, the entire front hall fell silent, and it was hard to imagine that a monk who was not in the realm of a king could have such an infectious power. You must know that there are still many senior students in the hall at this moment, and there are many fifth-year students among them, and they can't be counted on a few hands just in the Imperial Realm.

"I didn't graduate from the academy, I only went to the fourth grade. ”

He sighed with a little regret: "My cultivation talent is too poor. ”

"I was one of the first students to enroll at the college. ”

"It took a lot of hard work to join the academy. ”

"But the teacher told me that my cultivation talent is not high, and it is very likely that I will not even be able to break through the Imperial Realm, so it can be said that it is the worst level among the physiques that can cultivate immortals, and I can barely get started. Although he has some talent in these strange skills, his own cultivation is fundamental, and if he doesn't have enough cultivation, even if he is a puppet master, he can't go on the same path. ”

"Sure enough, the teacher is not wrong, I have been practicing for decades, I am in the best academy in the whole immortal world, breathing and exhaling a rich and extreme aura every day, practicing the heaven-level exercises that countless people dream of, and accepting the guidance of the best teachers in the mainland, I can only stop at the king realm. ”

"Don't talk about graduation, I'm afraid even the Imperial Realm, it will be difficult for me to break through in this life. ”

"Frankly speaking, on the way to cultivating immortals, I am a failure. ”

"Movies, in the end, are just things that don't matter. ”

Some of the students couldn't help but shout, "Director Zhou! ”

Director Zhou smiled slightly: "Don't comfort me, it's true." ”

"I probably invented the camera because I knew I wasn't talented, so I wanted to do something else. ”

"But I don't regret it. ”

He looked at Mu Lingxian and said leisurely.

"Speaking of which, the name of the camera was given by the dean. ”

"When I started making movies and became a little famous, I started to be a little confused, I didn't know if it was good to go on like this, after all, I was a student of the academy, an immortal cultivator. A cultivator who gives up the path of cultivating immortals and runs to engage in these sideways will not be a disgrace to the academy. ”

"But when my third film premiered, the Dean came to see my film, albeit as an avatar of him left in the Academy. ”

The students were in a commotion, and Director Zhou seemed to recall something and laughed.

"Speaking of which, the movies I made in the early years now seem to be really miserable, both in terms of technique and plot, they are all a mess. ”

"But the dean was very happy after reading it, called me over, praised me a few words, and said that if he could make such a thing, it would be in vain for him to set up the Qimen Branch. ”

I was naturally happier, and then I told the Dean of my doubts. ”

After hearing this, the dean didn't know why, but he was even happier.

He said......" He seemed to be imitating a certain tone, and said in a somewhat old-fashioned manner: "Zhou Xingxing, have you ever thought about what I set up three levels of admission, not to test talent, not to test physique, or even to test wisdom, and to set up seven branches?"

"I just want to tell you that the only thing the academy values is will, whether it can firm its own path and the will to keep going. ”

"And the establishment of the Seven Branches is so that you can choose your own way. ”

"Many people have been cultivating for hundreds of years and still don't understand what their Tao is. ”

"And now, haven't you found it?"

"The Tao I'm talking about is not necessarily the path of cultivating immortals. ”

At this point, all the people in the hall fell silent.

Director Zhou seemed to come back to his senses from his memories and smiled.

"I understand what the dean meant, cultivating immortals is not the only way, although I can't go far on the immortal road, but I have at least found something to do. ”

"As I said, movies are insignificant. ”

"But that's the only thing I can do in this troubled world. ”

"Even if it's just a little bit, I want to use my film to give people on the mainland a little encouragement in these difficult times. ”

"So I've been trying to make movies all these years, and luckily, I'm lucky, and it seems that there are still some people who like my work. Director Zhou looked at Mu Lingxian seriously: "So, although I didn't graduate from the academy, I am still proud to be a student of the academy." ”

The hall was quiet for a while, and the next moment, thunderous applause suddenly rang out, filling the entire hall.

When everyone was quiet, Director Zhou smiled.

"I'm sorry, junior brother, I told you such a useless thing, you should be a little more verbose when you get old, after all, I haven't broken through the imperial realm yet, and now at this age, it's not small,. ”

"I have worked hard to this day, and I have achieved some results, and I can go down to see the dean with peace of mind in the future. ”

Then, he spoke with what seemed a little sentimental.

"It's a pity that I, like everyone else, still can't remember the dean's face. ”

"Obviously, the dean is very kind to me, but I can't remember his old man's appearance, and from this point of view, I am still quite a failure. Now I only hope that one day in the rest of my life will remember his old man's appearance, so that I have no regrets in this life. ”

Mu Lingxian didn't know what he was touched, and suddenly said, "I will definitely be, I will definitely live to see the appearance of the dean again." ”

Then he paused and said, "I'm sure if you meet the dean, he will be proud to have a student like you in the academy." ”

Director Zhou was slightly stunned, then smiled and nodded: "Thank you, junior brother." ”

"I will also try to live so that in my lifetime. ”

"I can see the dean's face again. ”

Then, he picked up the scroll that had been signed and handed it to Mu Lingxian.

"For you. ”

Mu Lingxian took the scroll and nodded.

"I'll see. ”
