Because he has lived a very hard life since he was a child, Ning Que is very good at controlling his feelings, or at pitifully suppressing his inner feelings, turning the night into sunshine on his face, and rarely flashing the picture of the distant world, but today he entered the academy and entered the examination room, looking at the peach apricots outside the window, listening to the words such as comprehensive mathematics around him, he couldn't help but think about the hard life of double cultivation of arts and sciences in the cold and summer.

But it was also fortunate that he had those hard careers, and there was nothing wrong with this question on the ink scroll for him, but after the answer quickly flashed in his heart, he couldn't help but sigh in a low voice: "This question is too two, right?"

It's really two, because the answer is two.

Ning Kuiyun dipped his wrist in ink and dipped his pen, and wrote his answer very carefully on the paper: "The master drank two pots of wine and cut off all the peach blossoms in the mountains. ”

......

......

In the distance, the man looked at the black and white on the chessboard, his right hand stretched out in the air and kept playing, as if he was playing the piano and like playing the spring breeze, suddenly his index finger was slightly paused, with this action, a matte sunspot jumped out of the chess urn next to the chessboard, and fell into the chessboard with a snap, just where the vertical and horizontal lines intersected.

As the leader of the South Gate of Haotian Dao and the national teacher of the Tang Empire, it is naturally not surprising that Li Qingshan played such a hand with ease, but the strange thing is that his eyebrows were frowning very much at this time, as if he was a little jealous of the monk opposite.

The monk called himself Huangyang, now stationed in the Wanyan Pagoda Temple in the south of Chang'an, it is rumored that this person once went to an unknown place in the wilderness, to practice supreme Buddhism, a few years ago and by chance and the current Tang Dynasty Son of Heaven met, became a brother inside and outside the threshold, since then there is a name of the Tang Dynasty royal brother, but this monk pursues penance, sits in the Ten Thousand Wild Goose Pagoda on weekdays and recites the scriptures and translates the book, and rarely deals with people outside the temple.

Monk Huangyang quietly looked at the chess pieces on the chessboard, his eyelashes blinked slowly, and a white chess piece slowly rose from the chess urn, slowly came to the chessboard, and then fell slowly, without making any sound, extremely soft. Bai Zi fell to seal a certain air eye, and he didn't see how he moved, but with a slight move of his gaze, a black chess piece that had been eaten moved outside the chessboard, and there were already seven or eight pieces there.

The Tang Dynasty National Master and the Royal Brother played chess, naturally no one dared to come forward to disturb, those little monks and trails were very far away from the roadside, and there was no chance to see the game between these two masters, otherwise if they saw such a wonderful picture, they would definitely be amazed, shaking their heads and even kneeling to worship God and not be able to afford it.

Li Qingshan looked at the black and white pieces on the chessboard, shook his head, and said: "Your Majesty is in the palace, there will be one person left, and when Your Majesty is out of the palace, there will be two to wait, when did this become a rule? Who else in this world dares to do unforeseen things to the Tang Emperor? Not to mention that His Majesty is going to the academy today, is there anyone who dares to make trouble in the academy?"

Huang Yang smiled slightly, looked at him and said, "I don't know. ”

Li Qingshan said abruptly: "You should have heard about Chao Xiaoshu, right? It's a pity, if he was able to advance to the realm of knowing fate more than ten years ago, why would the two of us guys still have to follow His Majesty as bodyguards every day." ”

Huang Yang shook his head and responded: "If you don't have all these years of experience in the rivers and lakes, and you have the opportunity to watch the lake in the palace, you will be enlightened, even if you are intelligent, who would dare to say that you will be able to know your fate?"

Li Qingshan shook his head and said: "In those years, you should still be chopping wood and burning fires in that temple, so I don't know the specific situation, Chao Xiaoshu originally had the opportunity to be admitted to the academy, and with his talent, he will definitely be able to enter the second floor, if he can enter the second floor, and he is fortunate to be personally lit by the master, what is the difficulty of entering the fate?"

Huang Yang was silent for a long time, and then replied softly: "If you can enter the academy and get the master's enlightenment, it will indeed be a blessing." ”

Li Qingshan looked at his clean face, and suddenly laughed at himself and said: "The government and the opposition say that you and I don't see each other, how do you know that we and the academy really can't meet." ”

The two monks and Taoists in the pavilion are the leaders of the orthodox mountain gate protector of Buddhism and the south gate of Haotian Dao, no matter what they think in their hearts, their status is destined not to step into the academy half a step, just like today's Tang Dynasty Emperor led the ministers to participate in the opening ceremony of the academy, the most respected powerhouse in the Tang Empire, can only sit quietly in the distance and play chess.

"When is the Master leaving?"

"After the school starts, I will leave Chang'an. ”

"Master works hard. ”

Monk Huang Yang quietly looked at the national teacher Li Qingshan and said, "I still want to know how tall the master is. ”

After Li Qingshan was silent for a long time, he said, "The ancestor once said that the master is as tall as several floors. ”

Monk Huang Yang was slightly stunned, a sincere smile slowly floated on his face, and then his lips opened slightly, but there was a sigh, the sigh was like a spring breeze passing through the willows, and he couldn't tell the meaning: "The second floor is already very high, and the master is actually as high as several floors...... That's pretty high. ”

......

......

In the morning, after the end of the mathematics subject, it was followed by the book and the etiquette department, and Ning Que, who was still complacent and had a sense of pride, was suddenly dumbfounded-Sang Sang was very worried about it, a busy day eating hot and sour noodles and omelette noodles, going to the red sleeves to chat with the girl, Going to the Spring Breeze Pavilion to kill the Quartet in the rain, the poor boy who was worried about earning a few taels of silver today and being able to hold a few legs tomorrow really didn't have time to memorize those sets of admission test questions and ink scrolls, and even if he memorized it, it was useless, a guy who has lived in the deep mountains and grasslands for many years, where would he know those things, if he wanted to write the Taishang induction chapter silently, there was no problem at all, but he didn't have to think about anything else.

Ning Que didn't intend to be a hero of the white papers, he was too pretending to be forced, just like the national teacher and royal brother in the pavilion outside the academy, so he honestly changed the pen and filled the two test papers very seriously from beginning to end, as for whether the content of the answer had anything to do with the question, it was not within his consideration, he only hoped that the beautiful and neat paper could make the academy teachers give some sympathetic and sympathetic scores.

In the process of answering the questions, he also thought carefully, because he knew that his only advantage in these two subjects was probably that the words were much better than those of others, so starting from mathematics, he put all his attention on pen and ink, and ...... He deliberately used the hairpin flower small block that he wrote the least.

The hairpin is not used to hide anything, well, it is indeed to hide his gender, and I want the teacher to think that the owner of this exam paper is a beautiful idiot and an official lady who is good at books, so as to give some unspeakable scores.

The bell rang again, the literary examination was over, Ning Que walked out of the examination room with some interest, stretched out his hands to Sang Sang who was full of anticipation, revealing an innocent expression, and then accompanied Yu Youxian, who had made a special trip to find him, to eat the lunch prepared by the academy, and then cheered up and prepared for the martial arts test in the afternoon.

Ning Que was extremely confident in the exam of the three music archery in the afternoon, so in the face of the eager eyes of the examiners of the Academy's Teaching and Etiquette Department, and in the face of the room full of musical instruments, he did not hesitate to choose...... Abandon.

I'm not a pianist in the red sleeves, where can I have these skills of pulling strings and blowing the flute, he was annoyed and thought about these bullshit words, and walked to the big lawn outside the academy with the flow of candidates, and dozens of military horses were brought to the lawn at some point, and the principal lieutenant from the military department stood aside, looking indifferently at the students who were eager to try or pale.

Archery is archery, and Yuke is free to choose whether to ride a horse or drive, Ning Que of course chooses to ride a horse, in the Weicheng grassland for many years, he has always been dealing with horses and arrows, and I believe that he will not be worse than anyone else.

On the lawn in the distance, Sang Sang, who was holding a big black umbrella, clenched his small fist to cheer him on.

He smiled, picked himself up and walked over to the room.

......

......

When the candidates who participated in the admission test took the last three martial arts examinations, in an open and clear room in the college, the teachers and practitioners were gathered in one place to mark the three test papers in the morning, most of the teachers were already gray-haired, I don't know how many times they had experienced such scenes, they naturally would not be nervous, holding a teapot and holding a cigarette stick, leisurely swimming, from time to time the ink score looked up from time to time to chat with peers, and some teachers commented on the difficulty of today's test paper and said:

"This year's admission exam is from the senior brother, his gentle temperament will naturally not be too difficult, if it is still the second senior brother like the last issue, who knows if there will be a large number of people crying in the examination room today?"

Everyone knows that the master is an old man who is addicted to alcohol, and half of a pot is half continued and half turned into a drop, does the master still have to use a sword to cut that drop of wine into half a drop? There are so many candidates who answer such a simple math question incorrectly, I really don't know how their brains do!"

A teacher asked curiously: "It's not easy to say, but what I'm more concerned about is how many pots of wine did the master drink when he first entered the Xiling Sacred Mountain?"

Someone laughed and said: "The master drank seven pots of wine that spring and plucked out all the peach blossoms on Xiling Divine Mountain. ”

"But there is a legend that it was the master who drank the wine back then, but there was another person who plucked the peach blossoms in Xiling, it was the little uncle who traveled with the master, and I also felt that the master's elegance was more suitable for the violent nature of the little uncle. ”

At the mention of the word Uncle Xiao, the teachers were silent for a while, and then returned to normal, and someone said with a smile: "But those peach trees on the lawn of our academy were planted by the master himself, and every time the old Taoist priests in Xiling Haotian Temple came, their faces were ugly worse than their dead mothers, I really think that the master is very bad!"

The academy teachers in the reading room laughed loudly, mocking the most sacred Xiling Temple in the world, which seemed to be a daily routine entertainment for them, and the laughter was very arrogant.

It must be said that the academy in the south of Chang'an City is really a wonderful place.

The teachers gradually stopped laughing and began to concentrate on reading the papers, and one of the teachers looked at the ink scroll in his hand and read aloud: "The master drank two pots of wine and cut all the peach blossoms in the mountains...... The answer is correct, I noticed before that this candidate named Ning Que answered the fastest and can be included in the first class. ”

"There is no objection to the first grade, but I have a question, so why should the candidate answer two pots of wine but not two pots of wine?"

Or is it his personal habit, or is there something special about it? It's incomprehensible. ”
