Wangu Yudao College is located in front of the mountains, covering an extremely wide area and stretching as far as the eye can see. A bamboo forest is hidden, green and straight, and the breeze blows, rustling. The aura is dense and pervasive like mist.

A wide road passes through the bamboo sea, like a winding dragon, straight to the gate of the academy, there is a huge square in front of the academy gate, all of which are made of marble, carved with the patterns of various mythical beasts and exotic plants, and around the square are one hundred and twenty-eight white marble stone tablets, how tall are the two of them, with dense handwriting, all of them are exercise cheats, although they are only ordinary and visible exercises, but they can be taken out, and they can also be seen in the dean's mind. These exercises can be read and recorded at will, but the stele cannot be rubbed, lest the inscription be eroded by ink and the handwriting is unclear, so that later people practice wrongly, resulting in disability and death. The dean did this to make up for those who were unlucky enough not to be selected.

On the square, there are already figures, groups of three or five, and there are people who are responsible for reading the inscription next to the stone tablet, someone is responsible for copying, and there are inspections to prevent mistakes, which is a life-threatening matter, and must be extremely cautious. But the most conspicuous thing is the long queue, it is only in the morning, the sun has just appeared, there are so many people. When I saw people carrying bags and water bags and dry food in their hands, they were hungry and unkempt, and I knew that they were actually spending the night here.

"Can you help?" Zu Zhenlin asked expectantly.

Li Ji shook his head and said regretfully: "I'm sorry, there is no way, you can only queue up slowly." ”

"You can't really miss the registration, right?" Li Cao worried.

"There will be no delay in signing up, and judging from this length, it will be arranged until sunset. Li Ji gloated.

"You ......"

For this guy, Zu Zhenlin really wanted to punch him.

"Let's go and get in line, there's more people waiting for us. Li Ji reminded.

Zhenlin and Li Cao had no choice but to queue up. Li Ji entered the academy in a leisurely manner.

The registration for the academy started only by drawing lots in the past, and the progress was very fast, but because of the large number of people, it seemed to move very slowly, and it was not until noon that Zhenlin and they finally advanced halfway.

The autumn breeze is refreshing and the sun is warm, so that people will not be bored because of the boring queue. However, Zhenlin's stomachs growled. Zhenlin wanted to take out some food from the storage ring, but found that there was no more, and he hadn't put food in it for a long time, and it had been eaten. There are only a few jars of wine, but I didn't expect that I have the potential to become an alcoholic.

Zu Zhenlin took out two jars of wine and handed them to Li Cao, "That's the only one, pad your stomach." ”

Li Cao can only use it to satisfy his hunger.

The aroma of wine overflowed, Zhenlin looked left and right, wanting to exchange wine for some food, just as Zhenlin was trying to talk to him, Li Ji ran out of the academy, followed by a girl, that is, the apricot-eyed girl he met before, each holding a food box in his hand, the girl's hair was black, and a pair of big eyes were like a clear spring, clear and bright. Joan has a small nose, fair skin, and a beautiful face, which is eye-catching.

Li Jidong looked at it, looked at it in the west, his eyes lit up, he found Zhenlin and them, and beckoned: "This way." ”

"I knew you didn't have anything to eat, but look how kind I am to bring you something delicious. Li Ji invited merit.

Zu Zhenlin really didn't expect that Li Ji would think that the two of them had nothing to eat, so he came to bring lunch to the two, and couldn't help but be a little moved, "Thank you." ”

"What is this, Ruijin, hurry up and take it out, I'm hungry too. Li Ji urged.

The girl glared, "What are you urging, don't you take it yourself in a hurry, didn't I eat either?"

Li Ji smiled and said: "Yes, I was wrong, aunt, it's me who is wrong, it's me who is not good, you have a lot of adults, and the prime minister can support the boat in his belly, just forgive me this time." ”

", it's not right, how can I have a friend like you, I've been moldy for eight lifetimes. Hello, my name is Su Ruijin, and I wish you all the best in your enrollment. The girl smiled like a flower.

"Thank you. ”

Su Ruijin took out a piece of cloth and spread it on the ground, Li Ji took out the food and put it on it, there were six dishes, one soup, three meat and three vegetables, the aroma was fragrant, and it was appetizing.

"Don't be stunned, eat quickly, it's not me who blows, it's just for the food of the academy, you have to go in too, it is said that our dean doesn't pick anything, but he is attentive to eating and drinking, and he is a veritable glutton." I don't know if it's true or not, but the food is really delicious, and you won't get enough for a long time, and there are many treasures that can't be eaten in restaurants. Li Ji boasted.

"Okay, I can't stop your mouth when I eat, I can't talk endlessly, I don't know if I can't eat?"

Li Ji shook his head with a smile and muttered in a low voice, "Don't mess with her these days." ”

"What did you say?" said Su Ruijin angrily.

Li Ji shrunk his neck and defended: "I didn't say anything." ”

"Hmph. ”

Two happy enemies.

After eating, Li Ji and the others left noisily. Zhenlin and the two continued to line up.

In the evening, the two of them finally arrived at Zhenlin, there was a long table in front of them, and an academy teacher was sitting in the back, looking through a book, concentrating, occasionally raising his head to look at the progress, and if someone asked a question, he would answer it carefully. Next to the table is a large wooden bucket with scrambled bamboo sticks piled up in order, and just pull one out of it.

Zu Zhenlin took out one at random, there was only one number on the bamboo stick, and the words of Wangu Yudao College were engraved on the back, and when he took it casually, it turned out to be the lucky number mentioned by Li Ji, ten thousand and thirty-two.

Li Cao followed Zhenlin, and also took one casually, thirty-four thousand.

"The two of us have changed, right?" Zu Zhenlin suggested.

"No, I think he's just joking, how can you decide which one will hit and which one won't, so be it. Li Cao said with a smile, resolutely disagreeing to change, and Zhenlin was no longer reluctant. Let's wait for the college draw.

The academy is allowed to be visited, but some places have restrictions that allow outsiders to enter. Zu Zhenlin and the others decided to go in and have a look.

The gate of the college is wide enough for three carts to pass side by side, but the name of the college on the plaque can only be regarded as decent, and there is no demeanor at all. When I entered it, there were three main roads, and I didn't ask anyone for directions, so I just chose the road on the left and started to wander.

There are not many pedestrians on the road, the road is quiet, and there are green bamboos planted on both sides, but the bamboo is slender and not very tall.

When the two of them walked for a short time, a big burden came into view, taller than a person, and they couldn't see who was carrying it. Curious for a moment, the two chased over, in order not to let people see that it was deliberate, they glanced at it with the corner of their eyes, which surprised the two of them, it was actually a thin old man, his hair was white and sparse, but it was well maintained, although the skin was a little wrinkled, but not deep. Dressed in general, just ordinary coarse cloth clothes.

The old man bent over and paced slowly, feeling that the burden was very heavy, and he didn't notice Zu Zhenlin and Li Cao.

Zu Zhenlin was really worried that the old man would be pressed down by the big burden when he was stepping, so he stepped forward and kindly asked, "Does the old man need help?"

The old man stopped, looked at Zu Zhenlin and Li Cao, smiled gently, and was not polite, and said, "Then there will be labor." ”

"It's fine. ”

Zu Zhenlin said, and took up the burden, although he was prepared, he still felt really heavy.

"Heavy, young man, aren't you?" asked the old man with a smile.

"It's fine. Zu Zhenlin said, but in his heart he felt that he had helped the wrong person, how could there be ordinary people in this academy, it was unusual for a thin old man to carry such a big burden.

"Young man, you're not from the Academy, are you?" asked the old man.

Zhenlin nodded, "How can you tell the old man?" Oh, I'm stupid, the two of us are not wearing hospital uniforms. ”

"No, the college doesn't require students to wear uniforms at all times, but at this time, they basically go to eat or go back to the dormitory, and they don't go here, this is where the teachers live. The old man explained.

"Old man, are you the teacher here?" asked Li Cao.

The thin old man thought for a while, "It should be regarded as a teacher, but he is old, his arms and legs are old, and he is reluctant to move, he hasn't taught for a long time, so now he can be regarded as a nominal person." ”

"What's the name of the two little brothers?" asked the thin old man.

"My name is Li Cao. "My name is Zu Zhenlin. ”

The thin old man shook his head and sighed, "You two are names...... Pretty down-to-earth. ”

The old man was tactful in the end, but his expression betrayed him. But he can't bother with him, Zhenlin really feels that he has helped the wrong person.

"Two little brothers, old man, I want to tell you, there are too many people who have signed up for admission now, and they can't all be admitted, so they can only give up some people, so you must relax your mind, even if you are not selected, you must not think about it. I've seen too many old men, but I haven't been chosen, and it's like the sky is falling, crying and wiping away tears. ”

Maybe the old man had good intentions, but before he was chosen, he said these words, which made people a little awkward, and Zhenlin had the urge to let him carry it himself.

The thin old man led the way in front, as if he didn't notice the emotional changes of the two at all, and he was still chattering.

The road leads to the foot of the mountain, and there is a small river that meanders through it, and the water is turquoise, and there are small fish swimming in it, and it is not afraid of human voices. Climbing the mountain through a small bridge, the road becomes a number of secluded paths, winding paths lead to secluded places, originally thought to go to the foot of the mountain or halfway up the mountain to the house, but the old man did not stop, but went straight to the depths of the mountains.

There is a ropeway connection between the various peaks, but the old man does not take the cableway, but walks along the path, passes through the peaks, and finally stops at a low mountain, the mountain is full of strange flowers and plants, exudes a rich aura, inhale, and the body and mind are comfortable.

I didn't expect that on this mountain, there is actually a small pond, which is full of lotus flowers, but in this late autumn, it is still the lotus leaves are green, the flowers are in full bloom, the color of the lotus is purple, and the difference with the general lotus is that there are thunder and lightning flashes in these lotus flowers.
