Everyone sat down in the living room, and Fang Buyi said: "Mr. Shicai said, we still have to take the school exam, I don't know what we want to test?" ”

Mr. Shang said: "It's not necessary to take the school exam or something. I saw that although the cultivation of the two children is still shallow, their spiritual power is pure, and their swordsmanship is ancient, so they must be masters. If I'm not mistaken, this master is invincible. I'm a poor scholar, but I went to the school to take the entrance examination for a master's disciple, isn't it a joke to say it? ”

Fang Buyi thought to himself: "This Mr. Shang really has vision. Sister Liu'er and I are disciples of Grandpa Tao, and if Grandpa Tao comes out of the mountain, it will indeed be the first in the world. ”

Fang Buyi wanted to be modest, but Jiang Liu'er spoke first: "Hey, Mr. Shang, how do you see it?" You haven't met our master, how do you know that he is the number one in the world? But you're right, he is indeed the best in the world. ”

Mr. Shang said: "I'm ashamed, I'm also guessing. When the two children made the sword, if the sword intent was there, it seemed to be real and false, which can be called mysterious, and I guessed half a clue from the sword intent of the two. It's not that I'm boasting, although there are many sword cultivation sects in the Shenzhou Continent, I don't know about them, but there aren't few. It's the first time I've seen such a wonderful sword intent like the two children, but I'm afraid it's a disciple of a peerless sword cultivator, and I can't say it. ”

Fang Buyi said: "Admiration, Mr. Shang is really like a torch." ”

In his heart, he was extremely ashamed, knowing that he couldn't practice his "Nameless Sword Technique" after all, so the sword was accidentally exposed and was seen through by Mr. Shang at a glance.

When the sword girl heard Mr. praise Fang Buyi and the others like this, she snorted, and seemed to be very unconvinced in her heart.

Mr. Shang said again: "I'm afraid that the Shenzhou Continent has not had such a superb sword intent for thousands of years, it seems that this master must be reluctant to reveal his name, so I won't ask more, the two children can rest assured." ”

He looked very smug and extremely casual, but in fact, he was very thoughtful for Fang Buyi and the others.

"However, I can probably guess the sect and teacher of the two children. After all, such a subtle swordsmanship is not available in all sects. We know and I know, it's good for everyone to tacitly, haha, haha! ”

Jiang Liu'er said strangely: "Mr. Shang, how do you know?" How do you feel like you know everything? ”

"Actually, it's nothing, Confucianism is the most important thing about history, so every generation has a great Confucianism who cultivates history. I had the privilege of reading a history book written by a saint and learned a lot about it thousands of years ago. The book also mentions the swordsmanship made by the two children, although it is only a few words, but it is impressive, and I have always remembered it to this day. ”

After everyone talked for a while, Fang Buyi proposed to study in the academy for a while. Mr. Shang agreed very happily, saying that no matter day or night, as long as the two of them wanted, they could come to the academy as guests, but he told them to be punctual.

The regular routine of the people in the academy is to get up at dawn, after which they will start a day of study, and when the evening comes, they will close the school to rest.

I heard the sword girl say that most of the scholars in the academy are ordinary scholars, and only five Confucian cultivators have Confucian skills, in addition to Mr. Shang and her three brothers and sisters, it is said that there are two uncles who are also profound, almost on a par with Mr. Shang.

It's just that these two uncles are a bit mysterious, and they usually don't like to show their faces, even if they are people in the academy, they rarely see them.

The book thief who slipped into the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion a few days ago was caught by one of the uncles and broke his hands and feet on the spot.

Fang Buyi secretly thought, this uncle is not only mysterious, but also seems to have a very short temper.

Fang Buyi saw that Mr. Shang had agreed to study and wanted to quit, but Mr. Shang kindly asked the two to have dinner together. and said that there was an important thing to tell everyone after dinner, and it seemed to be related to Fang Buyi and Jiang Liu'er.

Fang Buyi and Jiang Liu'er glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but wonder, what could be related to them? But seeing that Mr. Shang said it solemnly, he promised him to stay.

In the afternoon, Mr. Shang and the three of them had classes, so they asked Fang Liu and the others to visit the academy at will.

This Chengming Academy covers an area of hundreds of acres, and the architectural style is majestic and elegant, and it seems that it has been many years old.

The two of them looked at it casually, and saw that there were attics everywhere, what Wenxin Pavilion, Yuandao Pavilion, Zhengsheng Pavilion, Yang Qi Pavilion, Qinyin Pavilion, etc., they didn't know what it meant.

When the two came to the back gate of the academy, they found that there was also a square of dozens of acres outside the door, in which many young people were fencing, riding horses, and archery.

Jiang Liu'er said: "It seems that these scribes are not just reading. ”

Fang Buyi said: "When I was a child, I heard my father say that a scholar should be proficient in the six arts, the so-called etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics. This horseback archery is also a must-know thing. ”

The two were more interested in swordsmanship, so they paid attention to the swordsmanship of these teenagers.

But seeing that these teenagers are ordinary people, what they use is only worldly swordsmanship.

They made the movements of the sword calm and unhurried, some gentle, some solemn, it seemed to be some kind of etiquette, not the swordsmanship of fighting with people.

The two looked at each other for a long time, seemed to have an understanding, and smiled at each other.

Jiang Liu'er said: "It seems that this swordsmanship is somewhat similar to the truth that grandpa taught us." ”

Fang Buyi said: "That's right, grandpa taught us to use the sword to understand the Tao, and to gain the Tao and forget the sword." The avenue is fundamental, there is a sword and no sword, and in the end, there is no difference. These scholars, although they use the sword in their hands, but they don't seem to be on the sword, probably because they want to enlighten the Tao with the sword. ”

Jiang Liu'er smiled: "You remember it so clearly! ”

A sword-dancing girl in the field, who looked to be thirteen or fourteen years old, heard the conversation between the two from a distance, and showed a surprised expression on her face, then stopped what she was doing and walked towards the two.

Fang Buyi saw that the girl was at least a hundred feet away from the two, but she looked like she had heard the conversation between the two, and she was quite surprised in her heart.

Fang Buyi said: "Sister, this little girl doesn't seem to be simple, she looks like an ordinary person, but why is her ear so sensitive?" ”

The little girl quickly walked up to the two of them, saluted the two, and said, "Brother, sister, my name is Ding Yuqin, I don't know what the two of you call me?" I just heard my brother and sister say that you want to use a sword to realize the Tao, don't you also know how to use a sword? ”

Fang Buyi said: "Little sister is polite, my name is Fang Buyi, this is my sister Jiang Liu'er." Both of us know some swordsmanship, but it's very shallow, and we can't talk about any sword enlightenment."

The little girl said: "It turned out to be Brother Buyi and Sister Liu'er!" I listened to what you said, which is very similar to what my father said, but I haven't understood it all the time, and I want to ask my brother and sister for advice. ”
