Volume 1 Chapter 19 There is no trace of bamboo

Previous Chapter

Gradually, more and more teachers came out of the stele, and Mei Wangchen found that occasionally there would be one or two students behind him, presumably picking his own personal students in the illusion, but unfortunately, among these people, Mei Wangchen did not see the figure of Brother Xiaojian.

In less than a stick of incense, there were about 30 teachers standing in front of the stele in the end, and then no one came out of the stele.

Mei Wangchen still hadn't seen Brother Xiaojian, but he still didn't seem too worried, talking and laughing with Li Yuanyou on the side.

"Hey, little fat man, you've entered the Hidden Mountain Academy, why are you still so sad and crying? Come on, give me a smile for my master." ”

"Brother Mei, don't make me happy, I wandered around that environment for a long time, and finally found a thatched hut, but I didn't say a word, and I was thrown out...... I can be here, I guess the academy teacher made a mistake, I must have been eliminated......" Poor Li Yuan, the little fat man, said that he was about to cry at the end.

Mei Wangchen let out a "huh", and was also a little surprised, "Which teacher did you encounter?"

Li Yuan cautiously glanced at the instructors, and then immediately quickly withdrew his gaze, "That's it...... It was the old gentleman on crutches who was standing against the stele. ”

Mei Wangchen followed his gaze, and a bald old man leaned quietly beside the stone monument, the left side of his pants was empty and floating in the wind, and it turned out to be a neck with a broken foot.

Around the old man with a broken foot, there was no other teaching, and it seemed that all the teachings avoided the old man with a broken foot, intentionally or unintentionally.

Heh, there is something interesting, the corners of Mei Wangchen's mouth raised slightly.

At this moment, the old man with a broken leg glanced at Mei Wangchen and Li Yuan, the old man's eyes were obviously calm, but the two of them suddenly looked like they were in an ice cave, and cold sweat suddenly broke out from their foreheads.

In an instant, the old man with the broken foot looked away, and the two breathed a sigh of relief.

The smile on the corner of Mei Wangchen's mouth turned into a wry smile, "Ahem, hey, I said little fat man, what did you say to this old guy with a broken foot inside? He still seems to remember you! This old guy ...... It's not easy to mess with......"

Li Yuan's tears were now rolling in his eyes, and he said with a crying voice: "What can I do, what can I do, I really shouldn't have offended this old gentleman for no reason, oops, wait, Brother Mei, how can you say that the old gentleman is an old man with a broken foot...... Old...... Well, that's not good. ”

Mei Wangchen hated that iron could not be made of steel, and knocked a chestnut on Li Yuan's round head, "I don't understand, with your soft temperament, you can still offend people?" Tell me, what did you do?"

Li Yuan hesitated again and again, and it seemed that what he said next was really difficult to say, but in the end, under Mei Wangchen's scoundrel's questioning, he whispered: "When I entered the thatched hut, the old gentleman was eating, so I naturally didn't want to disturb, so I stood aside and waited, but ...... You know, the old gentleman has ...... It's a little flawed, I'm always unable to control myself, and I always glance there from time to time, and I know it's not good, but the more I tell myself that I can't watch, the more I want to see it, huh...... When the old gentleman eats, I will probably glance at it five or six more times......"

"Who asked you if these are useful or not?"

Li Yuan covered his aching head and continued: "Uh...... After the old gentleman had finished his meal and took a sip of tea, he turned to look at me, raised his left leg and asked me, 'Is it pretty?' I was stunned, thinking that I was peeking and was discovered by the old gentleman, I was very embarrassed, just like looking for a hole in the ground to drill into, I was going to blurt out that it was not good-looking, but after thinking about it, the old gentleman was already a little disabled, and if it was not good, it was inevitably a little unkind, which was categorically unacceptable, so I was ready to say that it was good-looking, but if the old gentleman's disability was good-looking, it was not deliberately offensive to the old gentleman, and it was absolutely impossible, so I hesitated there......

Where did Mei Wangchen think that Li Yuan, a fat boy, could be so stupid and so stupid, he glared at him fiercely.

Li Yuan didn't dare to say more, so he quickly kept silent.

"What did you say?"

I said...... I say...... Ok......"

When Mei Wangchen heard this, he almost fainted without a breath, and finally couldn't help but not knock Li Yuan's chestnut, and heard Li Yuan say there: "I know, what I said is not right, otherwise the old gentleman will not scold me for being stupid as a pig, I can't even shoot a horse's ass, no matter how bad others are, they can shoot the horse's buttocks, I slapped the horse's mouth directly...... After scolding, the old gentleman asked me again, 'Everyone who comes to study in Yinshan always has a hope or dream, what do you want to do in the future? Of course, I nodded immediately, patted my chest and said that I was not deceiving, but I didn't expect that as soon as I finished speaking, the old gentleman was so angry that he blew his beard and raised his eyebrows and raised his crutches, and knocked me unconscious, I woke up, and inexplicably went to the mountain platform just now, and the bamboo was also broken...... "Li Yuan held up his bamboo without a single nick, and cried miserably.

"So, what the hell are you talking about......"

I said...... I said I wanted to be a general, you ...... Don't laugh, it's been my dream, really, it's true, I'm not lying. Li Yuan struggled hard, and then hung his head again, "I'm really stupid, really, I should have made up a dream to fool the past if I knew it." ”

"This old ...... What's the old gentleman's name?"

"I mentioned it in the hut, it seems to be called Wang Feng. ”

“......”

"What's wrong? Brother Mei knows?"

"I don't know, but he asked you about your dreams, and there's nothing wrong with that. ”

Li Yuan didn't know what Mei Wangchen meant by this, he only thought that he also expected that he would definitely not pass, and he was able to come here completely because the Hidden Mountain Academy made a mistake, so he made himself happy here, and he became more and more sad.

Mei Wangchen knew that this fat boy would be wrong as soon as he saw Li Yuan's expression, and was just about to explain two sentences.

Suddenly, the ground shook slightly, and inside the huge stone tablet, the sound of gold and stone was actually remembered.

An indifferent old voice came from the stone tablet.

"The hidden mountain is tested, and the horizontal text is vertical. ”

"The bamboo is full of eight, too. ”

"Bamboo marks over ten, over. ”

"One of the above, all of them. ”

"Five horizontal and five vertical, it is for the pro-inheritance, and it is also passed!"

Bamboo marks are the marks given to the candidates by the teaching in each thatched hut, and the bamboo knots refer to the number of thatched huts found.

Mei Wangchen only found four thatched huts, so there were four bamboo knots, which did not meet the first condition. Of course, this must be thanks to a certain dean who holds a grudge.

However, the number of bamboo marks satisfies the second condition. In the first thatched hut, Liu Dajia drew three horizontal lines for Mei Wangchen; in the second thatched hut, the mallet blacksmith drew three vertical lines for him; in the third thatched hut, although Mei Wangchen politely refused the kindness of Mr. Bai, who loved to play backgammon, to accept him as a personal disciple, but Mr. Bai still gave Mei Wangchen without hesitation, second only to the four horizontal lines of his personal disciple, which was already ten horizontal. In addition, Zhou Liangyi drew two horizontal and two vertical marks in the last fourth thatched hut, a total of fourteen notches, which have exceeded ten.

......

At this time, the students who can stand in front of the stele are naturally students who meet the conditions, and when they heard this, they finally confirmed that they and others had entered the Hidden Mountain Academy, and they were naturally overjoyed, with a faint smile, and naturally there were also excited, shouting loudly at the stele, all kinds of colors, as if they were in the world.

Mei Wangchen looked at these future classmates with different expressions, but he didn't feel any joy, I knew that since the moment Zhou Liangyi saw him, with the cunning of this old fox, he naturally would not let him go.

It's just that...... And what about the broken sword?

Just when the students were overjoyed, the stele suddenly made waves again, and a silver-haired old man with a hooked nose floated out of it without a sound, followed by a cold snort.

"Humph!"

This cold snort seemed to echo between heaven and earth, shaking the ears of all the students. Listening to the voice, this hook-nosed old man is the person who just announced the selection conditions.

"Noise, where the mountain gate is hidden, who dares to make noise?"

The hook-nosed old man's voice was emotionless, and the air was cold.

He silently looked around and continued: "There are a total of one hundred and thirty-eight people, some are missing, this Jingguo is really not as good as the generation, hum, okay, if there is nothing to do, then it will be divided." Whoever dares to make any more noise, the court will still send him down the mountain. ”

Everyone was naturally silent, and the atmosphere did not dare to come out.

At this moment, suddenly an obese lower hand trembled and was raised, and Li Yuan's trembling voice came out, "I...... Somewhat...... ...... thing"

Everyone brushed towards Li Yuan.

Zhao Fengchun and several other friends in the cave were all shocked and wanted to go up and pull Li Yuan's hand down, but the words had already been said, it was too late, and several of them were sweating and a little anxious.

"What's the matter?" the hook-nosed old man's voice grew colder.

"I ...... I don't think I've ever been ......."

"Huh?"

The hook-nosed old man raised his silver eyebrows, his eyes were like electricity, and he swept the green bamboo in Li Yuan's hand that had been broken but had no nicks.

"What's going on?

The hook-nosed old man's voice smashed into the hearts of the students like ice cubes.

Li Yuan was so frightened that he already cried, "I...... I don't know, but ...... Maybe there was some misunderstanding that sent me here by mistake......"

In fact, on the mountain platform before, Zhao Fengchun, the Qian brothers and others had warned Li Yuan to hide his bamboo, no matter what the reason, he must not show his bamboo to others, especially the teaching of this Hidden Mountain Academy. If it's not a misunderstanding, it's okay, if it's really a mistake of the Hidden Mountain Academy, you can also take the opportunity to take advantage of it and sneak into the academy first.

The hook-nosed old man's brows furrowed higher and higher, and then suddenly fell, and those who were familiar with his teachings were secretly saying that it was not good, which was the precursor to a tantrum.

At this moment, a sigh came from the corner in front of the stone tablet.

"Hey, what a stupid pig. ”

"Why do you want to take it out?"

"If you don't say it, if I don't say it, won't you be able to step into this coveted Hidden Mountain Academy......"
