It was another bright morning, and the machine man was taken out of the temple by his master and walked into the depths of the dense forest. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Master, aren't we going to your brother's, why are we still going to the forest?"

"Idiot, do you think that if you want to go anywhere else, you must leave the island first?" The girl glanced at Yiyi with a very contemptuous look, "We start, most of us have built our own passages to various levels, and it is very simple to go out." ”

Coming to the foot of a tall oak tree, Xiaoxing stopped and silently recited a spell. A gentle breeze blows, the dense green leaves sizzle, and the shadows of the trees below sway. The people were surprised to see that the thick trunk of the tree actually cracked a hole after a burst of "gacha" and "gacha".

The hole in the tree is very large, and as soon as I entered it, I immediately felt that my body began to become heavy. The sight outside the door fell to the feet at once, and then nothing was visible, as if it was rising in a straight line in the middle of the trunk.

A girl's voice came from the darkness, "My brother lives on the divination level, and judging from the current relative position of the two levels, it will take about five minutes to ascend. ”

The light came again, and the man stepped out the door, looking back to look at the oak trees again, but there was nothing but an empty flat field.

"Master, where is the big tree, why is it gone?"

"Of course not, this trunk is a one-way passage, you can only go out, you can't go in."

"Why is it a one-way passage, isn't it more convenient to be able to enter and exit on both sides?"

"Stupid, that tree trunk entrance is in the heart of my island, if it is made into a two-way passage, wouldn't it give the bad guys a chance to get directly under my nose?" Xiaoxing said angrily, "How can a weak girl like me protect herself? ”

"Ahh Yiyi nodded in agreement, "Master, don't worry, I will always protect you." ”

"So when you come to my brother, you have to study hard, make progress every day, and strive to become a great magician, which will be of great help to the master."

"Study hard and make progress every day, do I want to go to school?"

"That's right, my brother runs a school, that is, he's the principal." The girl nodded and said, "Do you remember the aristocrat of yesterday, 500,000 tuition fees may not have the opportunity to enroll, now you have a chance to further your studies, you have to work hard to cherish it." ”

The school is surrounded on all sides by high walls, and through the open gates, you can see a large complex of buildings inside. After taking a general look at the overall layout, the eyes fell on the statue in front of the entrance, which was a handsome young man with a flying expression, wearing a wide and straight top, carrying a thick book in his right hand, a quill in his left hand, and a few lines of golden text engraved on the base at his feet.

"I don't believe in God, I don't believe in kings, I don't believe in teachers, I only believe in the truth." Xiaoxing slowly read these short lines of words.

"Master, what do these words mean?"

This means that if you are just a devout believer, you don't have to come here; If you're just a loyal and obedient citizen, you don't have to come here; If you're just a good student who respects your teacher, you don't have to come here. ”

"Could it be that this place is specifically instigating students to rebel?"

"How can you, a brainless organist, understand my brother's profound thoughts?" Xiaoxing rolled his eyes, "These few words are nothing more than to tell the comer that in this school, whether it is a god or a king, it is also the object of study, if students regard theology and monarchy as an inviolable forbidden area of thought, and do not dare to measure it from a realistic point of view, and dare not use empirical methods to explore, they do not need to come to study." ”

"If you don't believe in God, you don't believe in king, this is easy to understand, but what about not believing in teachers?"

"Even if your teacher is as wise as the sea, he can't exhaust all his knowledge," Xiaoxing Youyou said, "A qualified scholar must create his own field and put forward his own opinions, otherwise, he will always be just a mediocre person who follows the trend." ”

"Oh, and whose statue does this statue belong to?"

"This handsome guy you see is my brother, the founder of the first university ever," the girl's face was full of smugness, "this university is called the City of Truth." Later, my brother rebuilt the academy on this floor of the hostel in a one-to-one size, and it was no different from the city of truth, except that there were no students. ”

"What is a university?"

"To put it simply, in the past, schools were all aimed at imparting knowledge to students, and as long as students mastered enough knowledge and passed the entrance exam, they could graduate." Xiaoxing explained, "As for universities, they are places that specialize in cultivating scholars, and of course they need to continue to learn, but how much knowledge you can accumulate is not the key, but you must be able to independently explore a topic, research unprecedented results, and contribute to the treasure house of human knowledge, in order to be recognized as a qualified scholar." ”

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The walkway after entering the door is a long tree-lined road. Among the green trees, there are also many marble statues, and the pedestals under them are carved with rows of numbers and many lines of small text. According to Xiaoxing, these stone carvings are all teachers who enjoyed a high reputation in the school before, and in order to commemorate their exploits, their images were carved on the main road to the school, and gradually became the best proof of the history of the City of Truth.

"The so-called City of Truth does not mean that this school represents the truth, but that it refers to the effort to get closer to the truth." The girl suddenly sighed in a very emotional tone, "The mysteries of the universe are unfathomable, and the more you know, the more you know what you don't know." ”

"Master, you seem to be saying tongue twisters."

A staff immediately slammed into its helmet, "Shut up, you idiot, how can you understand the heart of a scholar in the process of long searching." ”

"Master, did you go to school here too?"

"I haven't been to school," the girl glared at the organist, "I used to be the instructor of astronomy in the City of Truth, and I used to sit in the laboratory every day and use a telescope to look at the stars in the night sky, so people call me the great sage who looks at the stars from afar." ”

"What is astronomy, astrology?"

"I'm a serious scholar, everything is based on actual observations, not those random constellations, a few mythological stories, and a bunch of personality analysis nonsense," Xiaoxing sneered and said, "The kind of astrological book, I used to sit in the room, and made up dozens of versions a day, all of which were specious nonsense, and I also stuffed some modern astronomical observation data into it, which seemed much more credible than the old authorities on the market." ”

"Why is that?"

"For example, in the past, people could only see that there were six planets in this solar galaxy with the naked eye, so the astrology book was repeated and the concept of hexagram was repeated, and the corresponding lucky stars, guardian stars, and love stars were not out of the category of these six stars." Xiao Xing shook his staff vigorously, "Later astronomical results have already discovered eleven planets, and I simply established a corresponding system of positive and negative hexagrams, so it is very popular." ”

"Positive and negative hexagrams, there should be twelve planets, is there one that has not yet been discovered?"

"There's no twelfth planet at all," the girl shrugged, "I just thought it was more neat and beautiful, so I made up one, but the name of the twelfth planet is now very loud, and more than 90% of ordinary people believe in its existence." ”

"Is that okay?" The agency people were speechless.

"Until now, it is my version that has taken over the mainstream market." Xiaoxing sighed, "The most pitiful thing is the great god, who always studies the things I write, and thinks about his fortune and fortune when he has nothing to do." Looking at her serious look, I couldn't bear to tell her who the author was. ”

"Prophecy is not completely false, but this kind of knowledge is the most difficult to grasp, leaving countless loopholes for charlatans, and as a result, nine and a half out of ten soothsayers are gods." A blue-robed boy walked over from the other end of the boulevard, "There are great astrologers in the world who can peek into the heavens, but even if this kind of master sets up a stall to tell fortunes and sells fake books to make money, he doesn't need to use real kung fu at all." ”

"Well, just like you, brother, even if you forget the water mirror technique one day, with your eloquence that can tell the dead alive, you can also go to the street to be an iron mouth."

"Xiaoxing, you're saying the opposite," the boy shook his head, "Actually, we mirror magicians have to mix outside for three years before learning the arts, and make a living purely by lip service. Only when you have exercised the impatience to adapt to the situation and the unconventional mastery can you be qualified to get started. ”

"Forget it, I won't tell you about the god stick." Xiaoxing pointed to the machine behind him, "Brother, I brought it, let's start the final procedure." ”

"Good morning, little master." Yiyi greeted politely.

"No hurry, no hurry." The blue-robed boy glanced at it, "It's already here anyway, you can do it whenever you want." Xiaoxing, I'll take you to a play first. ”

"What play?"

"You can come with me to the opera venue," Xiao You took his sister's hand, "This is a love drama that I have spent a long time and finally successfully rehearsed, today is the premiere, let's see how the scene is like." ”

"Brother-" The girl's face immediately turned red, and her voice became murmuring, revealing happiness and joy, "You invited me to the opera, then we, is it a date?" ”
