Chapter 45: The Lonely School
The two of them went to the edge of the school district, where there were still many people who had come to apply for the exam.
"There are a limited number of places in each institution, and I don't think you half-people should come again, you come every year, and no one succeeds. "There are people in charge in front of the school who are dissatisfied. Many monks who graduated from the academy also came to apply for the magic exam, hoping to enter the Wuji Academy for further study, and some of them came for several years in a row, but they failed to pass the exam.
"This year, I have been well prepared, I have found a new path on the path of cultivation, and I have realized a wonderful method, so I came here. If I succeed, I will definitely repay Your Excellency on the day I carp cross the Dragon Gate!" a middle-aged scholar dressed in simple clothes bowed his head and said to the person in charge.
"Why bother? You're almost thirty, and you don't have enough talent to make it to the climate. The person in charge handled the candidate list in his hand without raising his head. Most of them are thirteen or fourteen-year-old children, and even eight or nine-year-old prodigies are also qualified to apply for the examination after being tested.
"I'm really unwilling, if I enter the Wuji Academy Palace and get the guidance of a master, I will definitely be able to integrate my ten years of experience. I think I belong to the category of late bloomers, please give the Heavenly Master another chance!" the middle-aged scholar pleaded bitterly.
The person in charge looked at the crowd of people in front of him, and the poor scholar in front of him had no intention of giving up, he stroked his forehead and sighed.
"It's that rhetoric every year, but you're also a reader, why are you so self-aware. I'll give you another chance this year, you're doing it yourself!" the person in charge handed him a form.
Seeing this, the middle-aged scholar happily took it, hurriedly filled it in, and withdrew from the crowd. Gossip came from the crowd behind him.
"He's the monk who got out of his mind. It's really pitiful, I could have been angry with seven points of book, and three points of heaven and earth spirit to be a happy old man. ”
"I was not satisfied, I thought that I could become a heavenly master, but who knew that this thought would be more than ten years. ”
"Enlightenment is also a mistake. ”
Twelve also looked at the middle-aged man when he heard this, only to see that the middle-aged man completely ignored the gossip of the people behind him, turned around and left directly.
"After the spiritual power is restored, there are too many, many such people. Qiu Zhengshan said. There are too many people with dreams, but the world is too small, and some people are destined to die depressed.
Situations like the middle-aged scholars are playing out in front of almost every academy, as if they are living at the junction of monks and ordinary people, bearing the weight of two worlds and waiting for a miracle to come.
The two of them came to a corner of the school district, which was not small but not as palatial as other schools, like a dilapidated dwelling, a low courtyard house, and the middle of the courtyard was overgrown with weeds. If it weren't for a slightly imposing door, no one would believe that this was a monastic institution.
The gate is fiery red, and I don't know what kind of material it is, it looks deep and ancient, and it is a stark contrast to the dilapidated courtyard. There are also a lot of yellow straw paper pasted on the left and right doors.
The plaque on the head of the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing four big characters, the ultimate in ice and fire.
"Two little brothers, don't look at this grand style, in fact, they don't belong to this school anymore. A rickety old man with an extraordinary appearance said.
Twelve cast a questioning look.
"There is only one teacher left in this school, the dean, and he likes to bet with people, but unfortunately he will lose every time he gambles. Now there is only this one door left in the entire academy. ”
"Is it so miserable?" Twelve opened his eyes wide, how could there be a few respected teachers in the school he remembered.
"That's not all, in a few days, as soon as the magic exam is over, this gate will no longer belong here. The old man said.
"Why?"
"The dean made a bet that there would be a student who could enter the Ice and Fire Academy this year. But you see, now there is not a single student here, isn't that a loss?" said the old man. Following his gaze, inside the dilapidated courtyard wall, the autumn wind swept away the fallen leaves, and there was no one around.
"Two little brothers, don't continue to waste time here, go with me to the psychedelic school on the side, and the tuition is cheap. The old man smiled.
It turned out to be a tot. Twelve grinned and politely rejected the rickety old man. Then, the two of them stepped into the Ice and Fire Academy in the eyes that surprised others.
"Oh my God, someone actually entered the Ice and Fire Academy, I guess I was dreaming. "Some people were amazed.
"Those two little dolls are so cute that they can't enter this place, it will only delay their good future. Everyone surrounded the Ice and Fire Academy, trying to dissuade the two, but unfortunately it was a little late.
Hearing that someone had stepped through the gate, an old man instantly turned over from the straw mat on which he was lying and sat up.
"He's finally here!" he said
exclaimed, and then happily took out a fan, sorted out his clothes, and went out to greet the "guest".
Twelve and Qiu Zhengshan stepped into the school, and what they saw was a couplet.
"The clouds of the nine heavens hung down like icicles, and the waters of the four seas boiled by themselves. ”
On the book "Ice and Fire Extreme".
"It's kind of interesting. The black mist spoke.
Then Twelve and Qiu Zhengshan heard a voice coming from the bookstore.
"The Tao is very good, the name is very good, the name is famous, the name is not very famous. ”
Then an old man with an open chest and exposed breasts appeared in front of the two, the old man raised his chest high, his eyes slightly closed, he asked.
"Two immortal friends, what are you doing?"
At the same time, he opened one eye and looked at the two of them carefully.
When Qiu Zhengshan heard this, he smiled, turned his head and left.
"I'm sorry old man, we went wrong. ”
When the old man heard this, he put down the folding fan and rushed over, pulling the sleeves of the two of them.
"Don't go, two little friends. ”
The two turned back.
"It's rare for someone to come to the door, and the old man doesn't pretend to be garlic, to tell the truth, Wuji Academy also has a place in the old man's Ice and Fire School. The old man pulled the two of them to sit down in a barely clean position, and faced them cross-legged.
"Do you two know that the Wuji Academy Palace is the best academy on the entire continent?" the old man liked to pause when he spoke.
"The teachers there are luxurious, the beauties in the academy are like clouds, and the palace master Zheng Juedao is young and is already a veteran in the imperial pavilion. ”
"Come on, how about the Wuji Academy, does it have anything to do with your Ice and Fire Academy?" Qiu Zhengshan interrupted his boasting.
"Hehe, that's what Xiaoyou said. The old man took out a jug of wine out of nowhere and drank it to himself.
"But there are many academies in this city, and the Wuji Academy Palace has only given three places. The old man said.
"This is true, but even if the Wuji Academy gives you a quota, can you use it?" Qiu Zhengshan asked with a pout, as the honorary gentleman of the Wuji Academy Palace, he had a little understanding of the various systems of the Wuji Academy.
"Well, it's a long story, the two little friends must have heard of my Ice and Fire Academy. It's really hard to use that spot. The dean bowed his head and said.
"It's just a little difficult?" Qiu Zhengshan asked.
"Hehe, since that's the case, the old man doesn't hide it, it's really difficult, but it's not that no one has succeeded, Fu Wushuang and the others should have heard of it, right?"
