Chapter X
A few days later, Gu Yan and his entourage finally arrived at the academy, and everyone walked off the station and stared at the huge city wall standing between the valleys in front of them, and the dense crowd under the city wall.
"Is this the Academy? It's big. Gu Yan stood on tiptoe and grabbed the arm of the hooked kiss next to him to prevent him from falling.
"Academy? No, that's not it, according to Daddy, we're just a small town under the academy. Tang Tang said lazily with the hair on his chest.
"The town! It's bigger than Sioux City, isn't it, just a small town?! Where is the real academy? โ
"Oh, I'll take a look..."Tang Tang pointed to the distance: "From here, from here, from the north to the Rakshasa, to the west to the boundless grassland, and to the east of the East China Sea, they are all academies." โ
โ......!โ
Tang Tang looked at Gu Yan, who was completely stunned, hooked the corners of his mouth, and led Li Li and the miserable white man to jump off the rock.
"Thank you for sending me here, the next road needs to go by yourself, let's meet at the Academy."
"I have to go first, thank you two for taking care of me for a few days. Although the academy is a place for educating people, there is no way to avoid the dark things of fighting, so be careful! Guan Yin packed his luggage and said goodbye to Gu Yan and the two of them.
Hook kiss looked at Tang Tang and Guan Yin, who were leaving, and then looked at the ancient words beside him, and said worriedly: "Are you sure?" โ
"Let's take one step at a time." As the old saying goes, spread your hands.
On the huge castle tower, two gray-haired old men sat face to face and played a game of chess.
"I didn't expect to deliberately open the date of admission this year, and I wanted to be caught off guard, but there are still so many people." One of the slightly chubby old men gently put down the white pieces in his hand.
Another old man played with the black chess in his hand and said disdainfully: "What's the use of too many people, it's all messy goods, and in the end there are only a few people who can be admitted to the hospital." In this game, you lose. โ
"Hahahaha, it's okay, Brother Zhou's chess power is still so sharp, let you pick it first this time."
"I hope there are good seedlings..."Zhou Yu turned his head to look at the crowd under the city wall, his dark eyes as dark as an abyss.
ยท
"Entrance test 1111-1133."
Gu Yan walked into the room with the note of "one thousand one hundred and thirty-three" in his hand, and looked around, but there was no figure of Tang Tang and others.
It seems that I can only rely on myself...
Thinking like this, Gu Yan sat down in the rightmost corner of the room and waited quietly.
After a short while, a middle-aged man in a black robe walked into the room and stood on the front podium.
"This level is a test of the classics. A stick of incense, the next article on the way of enlightenment, the timer begins. โ
Without giving everyone too much time to think about it, the middle-aged man in the black robe had already lit the long incense in front of him, and the sound of nervous grinding origami suddenly came from below.
"The way of education begins with the hearts of the people, and the hearts of the people make it good, if you do education..."
No, the way of indoctrination is contrary to my morality, and if I write it like this, it can only be C at best.
Thinking about it, Gu Yan decisively discarded the original article and wrote on another piece of paper: "At the beginning of man, his nature is good. Sex is close, Xi is far away..."
The black-robed middle-aged man who was originally paying attention to the ancient sayings couldn't help but feel a little cold when he saw his scrap text rewritten, and he turned his head sideways and no longer paid attention to the ancient sayings.
"When the time is up, write your number and name at the end of the article and hand it in."
A stick of incense burned out, and the candidates below sighed for a long time, and some were full of joy, and everyone handed over their articles to the middle-aged man in the black robe one by one.
"Next, take the history. It is still the time of a stick of incense, briefly describing the cause of the death of King Qingjiang a hundred years ago. The middle-aged man in the black robe put away the article and rekindled a stick of incense and said calmly.
"A hundred years ago, the king of Qingjiang? It should be that retarded. Gu Yan thought about it and quickly wrote on the paper in front of him, and in less than a moment he finished writing and began to close his eyes and recuperate.
Seeing this, a little fat man sitting next to Gu Yan couldn't help but glance strangely at his paper.
"The king of Qingjiang, who did a lot of evil, was poisoned at the fortieth birthday banquet?" The little fat man laughed in his heart, normal people know that the king of Qingjiang a hundred years ago was a big hero who sacrificed his life for the country, how could he be poisoned? It turned out to be a fool...
When the time came, just like Fang Cai, write your name and number on the back of the paper and hand it in. Next is the martial arts test, please go to the open space behind you to gather. โ
In the open space, a big man with stubble stood in it with his arms crossed, and he swept the people in front of him and said loudly: "The first martial arts test, compared to strength, there is a fifty-pound Qingding here, you step forward in turn, and it takes longer than who lifts the tripod." โ
The people in front of the ancient saying stepped forward in turn, most of them were B and C grades, and the longest one even lifted the Qingding and did dozens of squats.
"Next, one thousand one hundred and thirty-three, ancient sayings."
Gu Yan took a deep breath and moved his wrist, walked to Qingding, squatted down and hugged it.
"Drink!"
Qingding does not move...
"Hahahaha!" The rest of the candidates laughed mercilessly.
The stubble man frowned and said, "One thousand one hundred and thirty-three, the last." In the next game, test riding. โ
"One thousand one hundred and thirty-three, the last."
"Bow art, one thousand one hundred and thirty-three, the end."
"Body Method, one thousand one hundred and thirty-three, the last."
โ......โ
The stubble man had now ignored the old saying, and he patted the strongest man in the crowd in admiration and said, "The next thing is the final test, you will wait here." โ
After the stubble man finished speaking, he left the clearing, and after a while, two old men with white beards and white hair walked up.
Zhou Yu said indifferently: "This year's final exam, compared to identity, now you can take out the objects that can prove your identity." โ
"What?! Than identity?! โ
"It's over, I'm just a civilian..."
"It's okay, I'll be able to get through it now."
"I'm not convinced! What is the identity compared! Then we ordinary children still have a way to live!"
Another old man, Zhuo Li, explained with a smile: "Identity is also a kind of strength. Our academy has also cultivated many characters such as princes and nobles, just to make them more helpful to the Han Dynasty. Of course, this final test is just a bonus test, and it doesn't conflict with the previous test, so you don't have to worry. โ
The candidates whispered, and after a while, a little fat man took the lead and walked out with a seal and said, "I am the eldest son of the King of Hejian, and this is the seal." โ
Zhou Li took the seal letter, checked it, nodded, handed it back, and signaled to him that he could go back and wait for the news.
Seeing the little fat man leaving, the candidates immediately took action, taking out the objects that proved their identity one after another and leaving.
And Gu Yan is unpredictable in his heart at this time. If I don't have an accident in the first two literary exams, I must be first-class, but the martial arts test is too bad, and if I don't take it out now, I'm likely to fail, but this thing...
Finally, when Gu Yan was the only one left, he made up his mind to take out a small topaz token and stepped forward.
Zhuo Li, who had been smiling all the time, was puzzled when he saw the topaz token in Gu Yan's hand, he remembered that no nobleman would use the topaz token. And when the ancient sayings exposed the front of the topaz token, and a bloody word "kill" appeared, Zhuo Li screamed in surprise.
"Kill the Lord Order!"
Zhou Yu snatched the token in Gu Yan's hand and looked at it carefully: "This blood qi can't be wrong, it's Old Demon Chen's hall master order." Boy, where did you get this token? โ
"You say this? On my tenth birthday, Master gave me to play. โ
Zhou Yu and Zhuo Li glanced at each other.
"Haven't you heard that Old Demon Chen has accepted apprentices again?"
"It's not impossible, after all, that guy loves this kind of smart and cute child the most."
"But you shouldn't give him the hall master's order, this token..."
"Shhh, it seems that this kid doesn't know the specific function of the token, and it is estimated that it is only used for self-defense with him."
Gu Yan didn't speak, just smiled and watched the two old men talk to each other.
"Ahem, okay, there's no problem with this token, you can go back first, we'll get back to you in three days." After a long time, Zhuo Li coughed lightly and handed the token back to Gu Yan.
"Okay, goodbye two teachers."
Zhou Yu and Zhuo Li looked at Gu Yan and walked away.
"This matter needs to be discussed again."
โ......โ
At this time, in another examination room, the great monk of the Immortal was holding the Qingding and throwing it and playing.
"I didn't see my brothers and sisters, and I don't know how they did in the exam......"
At night, in the inn where Gu Yan and Hook Kiss settled, Hook Kiss looked at Gu Yan with a serious face.
"You mean you showed Master's hall master order?"
"Uh-huh."
"Do you know how much trouble you will bring to Master like this!" Hook kiss helplessly supported his forehead.
Gu Yan patted the hook kiss with his little hand and comforted: "It's okay, anyway, the master won't go out of the mountain now, and besides, you are using the identity of the killer list, right?" โ
Hook kiss nodded, Gu Yan snapped his fingers and continued: "That's right, everyone in the rivers and lakes knows that the killer 'Love Hook' is the master's apprentice, plus my token, now we are almost safe to enter the academy." And..."
Gu Yan suddenly smiled evilly: "There are a lot of human debts left by the killing hall......"
ยท
At the rudder of the town, a man and two women were wandering casually.
"Hey, belly pocket, have you heard? The people who killed the hall also came to the academy. โ
"How many times have I said it! No! Allow! Call! I! Belly! Pouch! The woman with the sword tugged hard at the ear of the man next to her.
"Ouch ouch, who told you to wear a belly pocket and run out that day, you female rascal!"
"You, you, you! You still say! Sister Yun, look at him, QAQ" The woman with the sword threw herself to the side, and rubbed in the arms of another gentle woman.
Chen Cheng rubbed his ears and muttered, "Stinky woman..."
"Okay, okay, you all don't have to say a word. Ying'er, are you going to visit that one? Mo Yun stroked the hair flowing in his arms and glanced at Chen Tang.
"Now? Forget it, I'm sure it will be more interesting to go to him when I'm enrolled. Liuying said casually as she felt the softness.
"Looks like you're confident you'll be able to get into the hospital."
"That's, don't look at who this girl is!"
โ......โ
In another market, a little girl carrying a lamp taller than her own person was staring at the roast chicken in the hands of a woman dressed in a suit next to her.
"Huh? Do you want to eat it? Cicada Yi sensed the girl's gaze and handed the roast chicken to her.
"Hmph, don't eat it, brother, you eat so much at night and be careful to gain weight, you won't be able to marry in the future."
"Ahh Cicada Yi bit down another large piece of chicken and said vaguely, "It's okay... It's enough for me to have Master and Father. โ
Shui Zhu's face was slightly red and continued: "What about killing the hall? Haven't you always wanted to go? โ
"Ahh Let's see. โ
"Okay, you're still thinking about somewhere else!"
"Ouch, Master spares my life..."
โ......โ
In a nearby alley, a very thin-looking man was slowly unwrapping the strips of cloth wrapped around his hands, and several large men with fierce faces lay at his feet.
"Hmph, with this bit of strength, you dare to come to the academy..."
And on a painting boat on the river, a suave boy in Tsing Yi was drinking to the moon.
"Tsk, there are more and more powerful people in this academy..."
ยท
Early the next morning, the man at the inn where Gu Yan was staying delivered two red lacquer invitations to him.
Hook Kiss took an invitation and asked curiously, "What is this?" โ
"Whatever, just open it and see." Gu Yan took the invitation open and took out a piece of golden stationery.
"Congratulations to Your Excellency Gu Yan, due to your outstanding performance, the Academy is now admitting you, and tomorrow I will bring this invitation to the top of the city tower to fill in the information, and I will not wait."
"Great, accepted!" Gu Yan smiled happily.
"Wait, there's a line on the back of this." Hook Kiss suddenly pointed to the back of the golden letter paper.
"Huh?" Gu Yan turned over the letter paper and read: "In order to promote all the students to get to know each other and strengthen exchanges, a banquet is now held in the Yuezhong Pavilion in the town tonight, and you are welcome to come and participate." โ
"Moon Pavilion? We've been around the town almost as well, haven't you heard of such a place?" Hook Kiss opened her invitation as well, the same content, but with a different name.
Gu Yan put away the letter paper, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Maybe, this is also a part of the test for us......"
