Su Wen forced himself to calm down, he lowered his head slightly, hiding the stunned look in his eyes, and then turned back again as if contemptuously, no longer looking at Chai Nan.

How could he have survived?

This is the only question in Su Wen's mind at the moment, and then there is another question.

Did Chai Nan recognize himself?

These thoughts were only born between lightning and flint, and Su Wen had already subconsciously moved his palm to his waist, but there was nothing there.

Today is the first day of reporting on entering the academy, so Su Wen unloaded the Cold Moon Sword just like the day he took the state exam.

After all, this is the academy of literati, and he is practicing the ability of literature and Taoism, and when he apprentices, he hangs a sword at his waist, no matter how he looks at it, it is a bit rude, Su Wen is a person with a very careful mind, so he has naturally considered this.

Chai Nan was the last to arrive, and he was in a hurry, his gait looked a little tired, his body was covered with hot sweat, his hair was a little unkempt, and he looked a little wolf.

It's not that Chai Nan has disrespect for the academy, nor does he deliberately want to be the focus of the audience, it's just that he has been a little chaotic in the past two days, searching for the traces of the gray-clothed swordsman day and night, which makes him physically and mentally exhausted, so it was not until this moment that Chai Nan was able to rush to the foot of Shenmu Mountain.

It's just a pity that even with his sense of smell and acumen like that of an old hunter, he still didn't find the mysterious swordsman who hit him hard that day, and after entering the academy, there was no chance.

Of course, he didn't know that the enemy he had been chasing for many days was right in front of him.

But at this time, Su Wen had already figured it out, and it turned out that Chai Nan didn't recognize him at all.

That day in the wilderness forest. Su Wen covered his face with black veil, covered his body in gray clothes, and was the only cold moon sword that Chai Nan had ever seen. At this time, he was lying quietly in the wooden box in the carriage, and no matter how he looked at it, Chai Nan would not know that he was the gray-clothed swordsman.

Thinking of this, Su Wen's mind relaxed slightly, he nodded to Mu Xi, and said, "Let's go." ”

There is some disagreement between Su Wen and Chai Nan, and this is not just because one of them is a patriot. One is a native of Yan Guo, and even more so is Chai Nan's provocation when he signed up for the state examination.

So at this time, Su Wen had a somewhat indifferent attitude towards Chai Nan, in the eyes of many people. It's also understandable.

But Mu Xi didn't understand.

She walked to Su Wen's side and spoke, "I remember, you are not such a stingy person. ”

This is the second time today, Mu Xi expressed her doubts about Su Wen. She clearly captured some of the changes that Su Wen had produced. But she didn't know where this change came from or why.

Su Wen was silent for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "This matter is a bit complicated, I will tell you carefully when I have a chance in the future." ”

Hearing Su Wen's obvious prevarication, Mu Xi didn't ask any more questions and walked silently.

Su Wen and Mu Xi were at the forefront, while Tang Ji, Su Yu, Uncle Hua and Haoma followed closely behind, and they were behind everyone. There was also a large crowd of people.

There are four major states in the country, and in each state, ten people are admitted to the first list in the state examination to enter the academy. Therefore, including Su Wen and Mu Xi and others, there are a full forty people who have entered Hongming Academy today, plus many students have brought a waiter to accompany them, and the number of guides has surged to seventy or eighty again.

Such a large number of people rushed towards Shenmu Mountain at the same time, and it looked quite spectacular.

I don't know why, there is no senior brother in charge of guarding the mountain at the foot of the mountain today, so everyone has not been hindered by half a point along the way.

After a while, Su Wen had already followed the cyan stone steps in front of the mountain to a wide field, and in front of him, there was a towering white jade mountain gate, and in front of the mountain gate, there was a wisp of red flame.

Su Wen looked up at the whole piece of white jade, which was carved with only a very simple pattern, it was a seemingly unpretentious bird, with its wings spread between the mountain gates, and its neck was raised.

In "The Hundred Demon Chronicles", this bird is called Hongniao.

The long cry of the bird is the song of the bird.

Tang Ji on the side frowned and walked up to Su Wen, lowered his voice, and asked a little puzzled: "Su Wen, how can our academy be named after a demon beast?"

Su Wen shook his head, he had thousands of books in his chest, and he had never seen the origin of the name Hongming Academy, so he had no answer.

Looking down the towering mountain gate, Su Wen once again saw the familiar red flame red light, and the person above the red light.

Bowing his hand, Su Wen said respectfully: "I've seen Academician Liu." ”

The red light naturally comes from the red flame bird under the seat of Academician Liu, and Academician Liu is the guide to the new students of the academy.

In the face of Su Wen's greeting, Academician Liu did not speak, but faintly returned the salute with his chin, and then his eyes fell on the black crowd in front of the mountain gate.

However, what is surprising is that Academician Liu did not speak at length to everyone, or said a few words of encouragement, he just raised his hand lightly and said: "Those who hold the admission order can enter the mountain gate first, as for the rest of the people, someone will come to pick you up from the other road to the mountain later, if you are ready, let's go." ”

When Su Wen heard this, he was a little unsure of what he meant, and Mu Xi on the side explained softly to him: "This road up the mountain can also be regarded as an assessment and test of the academy, which is related to the future selection of teachers and the direction of practice. ”

As soon as he said this, Su Wen understood, it turned out that even the academies of this world had the idea of a thorough exam.

However, it is also natural to think about it, after all, the forty students who have been admitted to the academy today have different academic positions and different potential talents, presumably the academy also needs to teach according to each person's different circumstances.

However, thinking of the choice of teacher in Mu Xi's mouth, Su Wen immediately cheered up his spirit.

As we all know, all the students in Hongming Academy have a common teacher, and that is the dean of the academy, Lu Yu, Lu Chasheng!

But Lu Yu is a sage after all, although he lives in the depths of the academy all the year round, it must be impossible for him to teach these new Gongsheng students in person, so the task of teaching and educating people falls on the other teachers of the academy.

There are many teachers in the academy, including strong scholars of literature and Taoism, students who have stayed in the academy in the past, academicians of the academy like Liu Zide, and ordinary teachers in the academy.

Every student who has just entered the academy has the opportunity to choose a special teacher to guide them on their future path to sainthood, which is perhaps one of the most important choices in life that every literati student needs to face.

So what kind of teacher can be chosen, it depends on this road up the mountain!

Just like many key high schools in Su Wen's previous life, even if the students who entered the school had already experienced the cruel competition of the high school entrance examination, after entering the school, they had to go through the preliminary examination for class classification.

It doesn't mean that students who enter the key class will be able to shine in the future college entrance examination, but after all, the chances are higher than those of students in the regular class, right?

Nothing is absolutely fair in any world.

Therefore, even if there are a full forty tribute students who can enter Hongming Academy, I am afraid that there are still a few students who can really choose a teacher who is suitable for them and has strong strength.

Including Academician Liu Zide, there are only ten academicians in the academy, even if you count the few half-saints who may serve as teachers, it is not less than half of the forty, which means that more than half of the students of these forty tribute students can only choose ordinary teachers as their own teachers!

The so-called monks have more porridge and less porridge, but that's it.

After figuring out this section, Su Wen turned around and nodded to Mu Xi in thanks, and explained a few more words to Su Yu, then took a deep breath, clenched the admission order in his hand, and stepped into the mountain gate first.

A clear light fell from the top of the mountain gate, first falling on the admission order in Su Wen's hand, and then enveloping Su Wen's whole person.

Su Wen was completely unaware of this, and he didn't feel the slightest difference between himself and before entering the mountain gate, but the scene in front of him had completely changed.

The green trees are still lush, the insects and birds are still singing, and the blue and golden light in the sky coexist, looking the same as before the mountain gate, but it is very different.

With Su Wen's anti-heaven memory, he could clearly perceive that this place was completely different from the scene he had seen before.

It turns out that this is the real Shenmu Mountain.

Shenmu Mountain is a tea mountain.

Suddenly turning around, Su Wen found that the white jade mountain gate behind him had disappeared, and Tang Ji, Mu Xi, Academician Liu and others who were originally standing behind him had also disappeared.

Recalling that Mu Xi had told him that the process of mountaineering was also the assessment process of the academy, Su Wen immediately knew in his heart.

Since it is an assessment, it is naturally carried out by each person individually.

But Su Wen didn't rush to step forward, but said lightly: "Zi said: The three armies can win the commandery, but the horseman can't win the ambition!"

Except for the orange light that emanated from Su Wenwen, there was no vision.

At this point, Su Wen can be completely sure that the qiē he saw is not an illusion, and then he can climb the mountain.

Su Wen raised his eyes and immediately found that not far ahead, there was a natural path waiting for him, and there were no traces of artificial excavation on it, and he didn't know how this path was formed.

Stepping in, Su Wen first carefully looked at the trail, there were some twists in the middle, and the road ahead quickly disappeared into Su Wen's field of vision, and the tea trees on both sides were sparse, and he couldn't see any danger.

I just don't know, where does this winding path lead?

It was useless to think too much, Su Wen clenched the immeasurable pot in his arms with one hand, and finally took the first step towards the path, but he didn't want to be alone, but he immediately appeared in front of him.

This person has an old relationship with Su Wen and has been waiting here for a long time.

Seeing Su Wen's extremely shocked gaze, Bai Jianqiu's face smiled even more, and he said, "How did you think about what I told you last time?"
