The kitchen of Hengshui School is located in the north near the mountain peak, and it is a very distinctive building. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In front is a small hall that can accommodate 100 people at the same time, in the middle are several sheds for cooking by fire, and in the innermost part near the peak is a warehouse for storing grain, vegetables and meat.

Because the sun does not shine under the peaks, and it is on higher ground, the mountain wind blows, and the air is dry and cold, which is very suitable for storing food.

At this time, everyone was sitting in the front hall of the kitchen, the rectangular table was full of wine and meat, vegetables and fruits, and Master Song nodded and looked at the proud protégés sitting on both sides, smiling and brushing his beard.

Every penny of the school's money must be credited to the account. Today's wine and food are all silver from Jiang Liao. In fact, it was Xu Feng who gave half of his silver to Jiang Liao.

Jiang Liao and Cuihua combined, and simply took out some of them and purchased this banquet, which was regarded as inviting everyone back, and also allowing everyone who returned to the school to get together.

Li Ke was also at the banquet, just bowing his head and not saying a word. Several students sitting opposite him glanced at him, and then chatted a few words with each other. Li Ke felt that he was talking about him, lowered his head lower, and poured himself a drink.

"I wish you all a victorious start and a title on the gold list!" said the master, raising his glass.

"Xie Fuzi!"

"I wish Old Master Song a long life and a hundred years old!"

"It's all up to the Master's teachings!"

The students raised their glasses, words of blessing, and so on.

"You all tell me which department you want to go to when you take the Tsing Yi exam!" said the master casually.

"Reading the books of the sages and listening to the teachings of the Master, of course, you must enter the Gate of Loyalty and Righteousness. Wu Wencai looked at his classmates on the left and right and said.

"Yes, we Hengshui are originally the Heavenly Sect, of course, like Lord Lu, we must follow the path of Zhongyi Hall to enter the cabinet and worship the prime minister!" a student also replied.

The master nodded in satisfaction.

Sima Gang groaned: "Zhongyi Hall is a good way, but I think that Tiance Mansion will not lose a clever choice. ”

"If you don't practice, there's not a good chance!" said another disciple.

"Cultivation is indeed a great advantage, but there are many scribes, staff officers, and even military advisors in the imperial army who do not know how to practice. Among the ordinary captains and generals, there are not even one-third of the cultivators, so there is still a chance. Sima Gang analyzed.

Jiang Liao was greatly excited when he heard this, and said, "What Brother Sima said is extremely true. At that time, the war in the northwest was tight, and the army was employing people, so it was time to relax the conditions for entering the government, recruit talents from all over the world, and reserve talents for further upgrading the war. ”

Song Fuzi glanced at Jiang Liao and said: "Whether you are a minister or a military general, after all, you are all people who serve the country, and it is a good choice to be able to use the skills you have learned for the country and the people." After speaking, he glanced at Xu Feng absently.

It seems that choosing Taixu Palace is not for the country and the people, just for one's own selfishness, just to stand at the peak of the empire's power.

In all fairness, the Taixu Palace is ten thousand times more difficult than the Zhongyi Hall and the Tiance Mansion, and the people who can get started are all famous figures in history, and what these characters can do for the country and the people, the ordinary people do not know.

Song Fuzi continued: "No matter what you choose, the teacher will support you, just move forward boldly and strive for a future!"

"I have reported to the state capital on the list, and among the seventy-four disciples of our Hengshui Academy, except for two who are seriously ill and unable to participate, the other seventy-two disciples will participate in this Tsing Yi test. ”

Everyone was excited and excited, the curtain of the Tsing Yi test had been slowly opened in the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty, and no math students had gathered in Kyoto from all directions of the dynasty to participate in this grand event for several years.

"Jiang Liao, Wu Wencai, Sima Gang, Liu Ji, Qiao Guben" Song Fuzi paused for a moment before he said again: "Xu Feng and Dongfang Bai." Several of you are the leaders of Hengshui Academy, and you must do your best this time not to embarrass Hengshui. ”

"Yes!" everyone responded, and then remembered that it had been a long time since they had seen Dongfang Bai.

............

Dongfang Bai is still in the South China Sea at the moment.

After more than a year of practicing at the beach, my pale face is a little tanned.

The white sword, slashing the sea breeze and stirring up the yellow sand, has changed in countless ways, and it already has the momentum of the peak of the apocalypse.

After finishing a set of swordsmanship, Dongfang Bai stood condensed, dispersed the true element in his body, and calmly looked at the blue sea.

His eccentric master had crossed the threshold of the sacred realm. I don't know why, for dozens of days, I rarely showed up. Seeing that he was about to get up and go to Yingdu, Dongfang Bai was about to go to see his master for the last time.

A thatched hut on the side of Dongsheng Cliff, simple and clean.

Ji Li was still sitting on the futon like an old monk, Dongfang Bai had just stepped into the room, Ji Li's sharp eagle eyes suddenly opened, because of his age, there were some wrinkles on his eyelids, but his eyes were still as vicious as before.

"You can bear it!" Ji Li said, casually pointing to a futon in front of him, and motioning for Dongfang Bai to sit down.

When he first arrived in the South China Sea, Dongfang Bai was still a delicate and slightly cold student, and at this moment all the youth on his body had receded, and the yin was even cooler than before.

The originally overly handsome face looks more calm and resolute, and the eye sockets seem to be deeper than before, but they are more attractive.

Gao Shu's Daoji naturally hangs down two streamers, the sword eyebrows are slightly raised, and the green shirt is down, what a calm and handsome young offspring!

Dongfang Bai sat down, ready to listen to Master's final teachings.

"I didn't expect that I was about to die, and I actually saw the threshold of the sacred realm. Ji Li didn't say anything about his disciples, but started from himself: "Yingdu is as master as a cloud, and strategists are like rain, even I suffered a loss back then." ”

Ji Li thought of the terrifying figure of Long Qianqiu, and continued: "You can enter the Zhongyi Hall, you can enter the Tiance Mansion, or you can try the Taixu Palace. There is only one purpose, to go to the place closest to the center of power. But the teacher wants to tell you that the old guy in the Taixu Palace has old grievances with the teacher, and it will not be difficult for you, but I am afraid that there will be some prejudice against you. ”

Dongfang Bai pondered for a long time, and said calmly: "Zhongyi Hall, Tiance Mansion, Taixu Palace, these three gates, can they be tested at the same time?"

Ji Li didn't expect his disciple to say such a thing, and there was a look of approval in his eyes, and he said slowly: "It's not impossible......! It's just that I have to compete two or even three times a day, and the time is relatively rushed, and I am afraid that the energy is not enough. No one has ever tried it before. ”

"Disciple wants to give it a try!" Dongfang Bai said.

"It's good!"

"What's the most important thing in the world?" Ji Li suddenly asked.

Dongfang Bai pondered, and Ji Li continued: "The court is now divided into two factions, the princess and the prime minister, and it is bound to become fire and water. One wants to strengthen the imperial power, the other wants to help the people, do you say that the imperial power is important, or is the people important?"

"You and I are both the people of the Great Xia Kingdom, and we are favored by the Great Xia Kingdom, is the Great Xia Dynasty important or the Rakshasa Ghost Kingdom important!?"

Dongfang Bai said calmly: "Only I am the most important! Only the immortal deeds I have established are the most important. ”

"Don't forget!" Ji Li nodded and closed his eyes after speaking.

Dongfang Bai stood up and bowed again, and walked out of the thatched hut with the Bai Ding sword.

On the edge of the thatched hut, in a half-zhang high cave, there is a wooden box dedicated to Ji Zi in Nanhai County, which is full of broken silver and silver tickets.

Dongfang Bai wanted to open the wooden box and take some away, but after hesitating, he simply picked up the wooden box and went north along the rugged mountains and rocks by the South China Sea.
