Catching a glimpse of Zi Xiaoxiao talking to some seemingly master-level figures in the Enlightenment Academy, Li Molan quietly withdrew her gaze, and did not attract the attention of the two gray-haired old men. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Being able to stand on the second floor of the surrounding pavilion before the opening ceremony and overlook the stone flat where more than 3,000 candidates gathered shows its special status.

Zi Xiaoxiao's little girl is already a real female disciple of the Daomen and a teacher of the Enlightenment Academy, so the people around her are the elders of the Daomen?

Although Li Molan looks calm on the surface, he is still very vigilant in his heart, because such an old person may spy on his identity and origin, and then cause some trouble.

Not to mention that the well-known swordsmanship he knew couldn't be used without authorization, and he didn't even dare to bring out the North Sea Dragon Elephant.

After a while, some students of the Enlightenment Academy dressed as scholars walked out of the dormitory area one after another.

The number of these students is very small, only more than 400 people, and the gap is quite obvious compared to the more than 3,000 candidates, but these more than 400 people are already all the students in the Enlightenment Academy.

Every year, the opening assessment of the Enlightenment Academy can attract thousands of candidates from far and wide, all of whom are full of confidence in their talents, or want to spell out a brilliant future, hoping that some of their views can attract the attention of the professors of the Enlightenment Academy, and since then they have soared, but how many people can really pass?

Among the thousands of exams over the years, there are often only two or three hundred people who can stand out each time, and there was even a total of 6,000 candidates in one session, but only more than 150 were screened, and the rest all went home.

The ratio of forty to one has already shown the cruelty of this opening assessment.

These more than 400 students are the sum of the class of ten years ago and the class of five years ago, and today is not only the opening ceremony, but also the graduation ceremony of the Enlightenment Academy in a sense, in order to bid farewell to the students of the Enlightenment Academy ten years ago.

From then on, whether those graduates chose other first-class sects such as the Sword Pavilion, the Vermilion Bird Sect, and the Guanxin Valley to continue their cultivation, or went to some towns to take up official positions, or did things according to their own interests, they were all hot and steady.

As the students of the Enlightenment Academy approached, the candidates on the stone flat gradually became agitated, and some of them showed envy and longing.

When the more than 400 students of the Enlightenment Academy walked into the middle of the stone flat with a touch of arrogance on their expressions, the more than 3,000 candidates around each retreated to the left and right open spaces.

The examiners were quiet and silent, giving up their place to the students who might be their predecessors.

Li Molan looked at a high platform, some old people who should be big people had already appeared around the stone platform in front of Shiping, and at the same time, he saw that Zi Xiaoxiao and the two old men who were talking to her also appeared here.

Some of the candidates looked at the big names around the stone platform, guessing in their hearts which people were from the Enlightenment Academy and the Daomen, and they couldn't help but feel their hearts tremble, as if fanatical fans had seen their idols with their own eyes.

"That old man, I know, is the dean of the Enlightenment Academy, Mr. Zhao Ziyuan! Some time ago, when I was having breakfast in the west of the city, I had the honor to meet his old man once in the breakfast shop!"

A candidate said excitedly, and at the same time, the people around him cast envious eyes, as if they could get some kind of opportunity by meeting the dean of the Enlightenment Academy in the shop earlier.

"And that, I heard that it is an elder of the Daomen, Professor Kong He, I heard that his old man is very old-fashioned in class, and I heard what some seniors said after class. ”

"You haven't passed the exam yet, so you think those Enlightenment Academy students are your seniors?"

Someone spoke, and then there was a burst of laughter all around, which washed away the tension a bit.

In the crowd, Li Molan was also paying attention to the people on the other side of the stone platform, guessing which big names in the Daomen were all from the Daomen, and at the same time, with the faint meaning revealed by them, guessing who was a good hand with a sword and who was a great hand with a knife.

Suddenly, someone poked him in the back, Li Molan turned his head, but saw the young man he met in the office hall at the entrance of the Enlightenment Academy some time ago.

"Yo...... Little brother, long time no see. ”

Sun Baichuan nervously greeted Li Molan.

Li Molan smiled and said, "How did you come over these days?"

Sun Baichuan said cautiously: "Little brother, I asked you for the thirty taels, but I can't ...... for the time being Can't pay it back...... I ......"

Li Molan suddenly understood where the young man's nervousness came from, and said with a smile: "It's just thirty taels of silver, just help you, I'm not the kind of person who wants to repay the favor, and I don't care about the thirty taels, you don't need to be like this." ”

When the young man heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the young man in front of him, who was also a scholar, and said: "I am temporarily living at a distant relative's house outside the city these days, saying that it is a distant relative, and I can't tell if there is a slight relationship, but the situation is urgent, so I have to ask for help with a shy face." ”

"I see. Li Molan nodded, thinking that this kid's life was quite hard, so she couldn't help patting him on the shoulder and said, "You have to work hard, in case you get in, I won't be admitted, I'll have to hug your thigh." ”

"Little brother...... Brother, don't worry, whether I can pass the exam or not, the thirty taels of silver saved me from fire and water, and I will never forget this kindness!"

Sun Baichuan patted his chest and said from the bottom of his heart, but his straightforward appearance made Li Molan laugh for a while.

Suddenly there was a sound of music all around, accompanied by the ringing of the bell from somewhere in the Enlightenment Academy, the bell was very loud, as if it was knocking on everyone's hearts, and the candidates present and the officials of the Lin'an Mansion who were standing around, and some of the professors who came to attend the opening ceremony in the Enlightenment Academy, all turned their attention to an old man with crane hair on the stone platform.

Zhao Ziyuan, the dean of the Enlightenment Academy, walked to the stone platform, in fact, according to the procedure, it should now be the young saintess who came down from the White Lotus Holy Mountain to preside over the graduation ceremony for these students who have studied in the Enlightenment Academy for ten years and are about to graduate, and at the same time preside over the opening ceremony.

However, now the Holy Maiden should still be on the way down from the mountain in a hurry, so Zhao Ziyuan had to go up and say everything that should be said for the Holy Maiden, and he also doubted in his heart that the Holy Maiden could arrive before the end of the opening ceremony, but not just release everyone's pigeons like the one five years ago.

This was followed by a speech to the graduates, and all in all, more than 3,000 candidates would be left to dry for the next hour.

Li Molan was not interested in this, and was more recalling the exam questions she had read last night, and at the same time regretting in her heart why she didn't bring those real exam questions over and let herself sharpen her knives.

"I heard that the Holy Maiden will also be present at the opening ceremony this time, do you know, little brother?" Sun Baichuan was idle and bored, but he dispelled the initial tension in his heart, and asked while observing the grand occasion of the graduation ceremony over there.

"Daomen Holy Maiden?"

Li Molan raised her head in surprise and glanced at the people on the other side of the stone platform.

However, although there are a lot of female teachers over there, after all, the proportion of female disciples in the Dao Sect has always been very high, but the status should be equal to Zi Xiaoxiao, and no one seems to be particularly detached and respected, so I don't think it's here.

"That's right, it's just that the Holy Maiden hasn't appeared until now, and many people are waiting for it to die, it is said that the Holy Maiden was going to appear five years ago, but then somehow the Holy Maiden said on the holy mountain that the Holy Maiden was too young to host or something, so she didn't appear, and many people were depressed to death. Sun Baichuan said.

"I see......" Li Molan nodded thoughtfully.

He is naturally also very interested in the Daomen Holy Maiden, after all, the Daomen Holy Maiden, the emperor of the Emperor Zhai, and the senior brother of the Qiu Ming Mountain, are the three strongest in the young generation in Beihai at present, and they are the leaders of the younger generation.

"I've heard that the Holy Maiden has rarely appeared in the world, and few people have been able to see her appear, even most of the students of the Enlightenment Academy have not been able to see the true face of the Holy Maiden, if we can see it this time, then even if we haven't taken the exam, it's worth the trip. ”

Sun Baichuan said with a wistful face.

Li Molan pouted: "The registration fee is two hundred taels, I'd rather not see her and pass the exam than see her and then fail the exam." ”

Sun Baichuan didn't pay attention to Li Molan's disdainful words, and said like a fanatical believer: "The Holy Maiden's real name is Yu Huaji, but little brother, let me tell you, this is not a matter that everyone knows, it is a little secret, the real name of the Holy Maiden is something that can only be asked about by bribing those students of the Enlightenment Academy with money." ”

"Yu Huaji, Daomen Holy Maiden?" Li Molan silently read the name, a little curious in her heart.

"It is rumored that the Holy Maiden likes to wear red clothes, so she is also known as Yu Hongyi, but whether it is Lord Yu Huaji or Lord Yu Hongyi, everyone still prefers to call her the Holy Maiden. ”

Sun Baichuan seemed to be saying something exciting, and a flush appeared on his cheeks as he spoke.

"Yu Hua Ji...... Yu Hongyi...... Holy Maiden ......"

Li Molan couldn't quite understand this kind of star-chasing fanatical respect, but she did have some curiosity about this Yu Hongyi in her heart.

At least from the rumors, it can be heard that this Daomen saintess is very popular, and according to the chatter in those neighborhood wine shops, all of them contain those Lin'an people's love for their own saint Maiden, so close to the people...... So you should be a good person?

Li Molan squinted her eyes and looked at the stone platform, not knowing what she was thinking about.
