Xiao Hai wandered all the way, until it was dark, and returned to the inn in a huff, Xiao Erhai of the inn was surprised, Xiao Hai helplessly explained the reason, Xiao Er comforted: "The young man is tired of boating and driving, and it is good to live in Jiujiang for three days, taking a boat is not as good as rushing, and floating on the water for three or four days is much more tiring than walking on the road for ten days."

It happens that the opening ceremony of Tianxiang Academy tomorrow will be very lively, and the young man can go and take a look, but let me tell you, there are many thieves over there, so you must pay attention. In this kind of large gathering, there are often some thieves with unclean hands and feet. ”

The next day, Xiaohai had a simple meal in the lobby, and the street was already very lively at this time. The shopkeeper trotted over and said: "Master, if you go to Tianxiang Academy, you must be as soon as possible, there are a lot of people today, and it is very lively over there, it is said that the guests who live in the hotel said that the opening ceremony of Tianxiang Academy also invited a lot of young people, and Fu Yin went in person, a big event, if you go late, you can't squeeze in!"

Xiao Hai said: "Tianxiang Academy is so troublesome, the government must send a lot of officials to maintain order, right?"

Xiao Er nodded, Xiao Hai put his luggage directly in the store and went out with a sword. Tianxiang Academy is in Jiujiang City, Xiaohai saw all kinds of people walking towards the college on the road, there are vendors pushing carts, and some young men and women, scholars, women and so on.

Xiao Hai was a little puzzled, why the opening ceremony of the academy was so popular, and people were willing to go to see the excitement? Xiao Hai walked slowly. Xiao Hai had heard Shang Ke talk about the specific location of the academy before, and he inquired all the way around his home, and finally found Tianxiang Academy.

Tianxiang Academy on both sides of the courtyard wall can not be seen at a glance, the gate of the academy is tall and majestic, the stone lion of the two piers of the courtyard is at least three high in the small sea, there is a high stone archway in front of the gate, there are several big characters of Tianxiang Academy written on it, and the inscription of a certain emperor is written behind. Xiao Hai opened his mouth wide and shamelessly compared the school in Wuyou Town.

Passers-by had surprised expressions on their faces when they saw where Xiao Hai was, and some young people whispered: "How can a country boy have seen such a big academy, and it is normal to be surprised!"

Xiao Haixin is really the most hurtful to be honest, Xiao Hai has never been to Gusu City, but I heard that there is only a school there, no academy.

As for Yangzhou, Xiao Hai knew that there was one, but he was not introduced by the locals, so he had never been there, but Xiao Hai was shocked by the light entrance of this Tianxiang Academy.

At this time, the streets near the college were already bustling with the sound of vendors and the laughter of passers-by.

There was already a queue at the gate of Tianxiang Academy in order to enter the academy, and a few people who observed the appearance of the master of the academy were managing. Xiaohai obediently went to line up.

After about a stick of incense, Xiao Hai finally came to the door of the academy, Xiao Hai couldn't help but look up, God, this door alone is several times larger than the town gate archway in Wuyou Town.

An official in the back shouted, "Hurry up and get in, it's going to close!"

Xiao Hai wiped his saliva and hurriedly trotted in, there was a bang from behind, the door was closed, leaving only a small door, and the people who had not yet come in scolded in the back, saying why they were not allowed to go in, and the people from the academy explained that it was because the ceremony square could not accommodate so many people, so they had to wronged others.

Xiao Hai ignored the situation behind him and followed the crowd straight inside.

In front of him was a wide square, and there were two or three hundred people living in the battle column on the square, all of whom were newly recruited students.

Xiao Hai chatted with Shang Ke for them before and learned that the academy was divided into martial arts academy and literary academy, and the children Shang Kewei was responsible for bringing were all students of the academy, so there was always a little less blood when there was an emergency that night.

The students of the Faculty of Arts all wore purple uniforms, while the Martial Arts Academy wore uniform red and black uniforms. There was a large platform about fifty or sixty zhang away from the farthest part of the student square of the Martial Academy, which was full of people, among whom a person in an official robe was speaking.

I have been skilled in the exercises around the turtle for a long time, and I can't see clearly and hear what the people above are saying.

There are also stone platforms around the square, which enclose the whole square in the center. Xiao Hai's group was the last group to come in, and they could only sit at the end of the square, that is, the closest place to the gate of the college, no wonder the shopkeeper asked Xiao Hai to come early, and when he came late, he could only sit at this end and watch the speaker's mouth.

Xiao Hai casually found a place to sit down. Xiao Hai asked a big brother next to him, who was on the stage?

The eldest brother said: "You see that you are a foreigner, and it is Jiujiang Mansion Yin who speaks, Lord Lu." The back row were the housekeepers and the deans of the college, and I didn't recognize them. ”

Xiao Hai was surprised: "You are a local, and you don't recognize it?"

The eldest brother was surprised: "Young man, you are from the poor countryside, do you know how many people there are in Jiujiang? Besides, how many times have we met these big people?"

Xiao Hai was speechless for a while, Wu Youzhen was too small, although Xiao Hai had never seen anyone, but there were too few. After Lord Lu finished speaking, there was thunderous applause around him, and Xiao Hai also applauded awkwardly.

Xiaohai asked the eldest brother, "Eldest brother, did you hear what Master Lu said?"

The eldest brother said: "After years of hard work, the academy has continued to grow, cultivating all kinds of talents for the imperial court, cultivating a few emperors, a few princes, who are the generals of the imperial court, a few martial champions, etc., and thanks to the prestige that Tianxiang Academy has brought to Jiujiang, I hope that the academy will make persistent efforts to cultivate more talents for the imperial court and the people of Liming!"

Xiao Hai was surprised: "Big brother has good ears!"

The eldest brother waved his hand: "Hey, everyone can memorize these words every year!"

Xiao Hai's face was black, and then he asked, "You guys came to see this?"

The eldest brother looked at Xiao Hai, who was dressed a little rustic, and said: "Little brother, if you don't go to the academy to study at your age, it seems that your family is really poor, but you must study more often, maybe you have the opportunity to go to other colleges to be a student or something, and you will see the demeanor of the second academy in the world in a while!"

Xiao Hai pretended to be enlightened and nodded. Another old man stepped forward, and his voice was loud and lingering throughout the square, and his words were clear and sonorous!

I heard the old man say: "Today, the students of our institute are about to enter our institute to study, and they must live up to the expectations of the imperial court and shoulder the well-being of the people." ”

The new disciples of the academy standing on the square saluted, and then shouted in unison: "Live up to the emperor's grace, and live up to the well-being of the people!"

The old man smiled with satisfaction and said, "The opening ceremony begins!"

With a command, the students instantly retreated to both sides.

The eldest brother turned his head and said to Xiao Hai: "Look, the show is coming, we have been waiting for so long just for this play!"

Speaking from both sides of the stage came out of several teams of dragon dance teams with yellow coats, as well as several teams of lion dance teams, with the drum beat to the center of the venue, danced, at this time not only Xiao Hai, the surrounding people were lively, applauded one after another, Xiao Hai has also seen it in Wuyou Town, but it is definitely not so spectacular.

The lion and dragon paintings are vivid. Kowloon is in the sky, the lions are dancing wildly, and the performers are also at the end, Xiaohai only thought at this time that this trip was really not in vain, it was too exciting.

The eldest brother looked at Xiao Hai who was clapping his hands excitedly next to him, and sneered: "Why haven't you seen it?" Xiao Hai said without cutting down: "Why haven't you seen it, we also have it there!"

The eldest brother also said without cutting it: "It's too fake, I don't believe it!"

Xiao Hai cut off, and then continued to watch the performance.

After about a stick of incense, the performance team withdrew. There was a person in charge of the academy to make the surroundings quiet, and Xiao Hai looked forward to seeing what other programs there were.

After a while, seven women in purple robes came up, all of them were tall, concave and convex, each more beautiful than the other, and they were still holding the piano in their hands. The eldest brother next to him looked at the direct Halazi.

The young men of the surrounding people all cast fiery eyes, and some men who came with their wives were scolded by their wives by their fierce ears! After the college steward made everyone quiet,

One of the seven women stepped forward and said to the new students on both sides: "Yao Tao and others, two years student of the Academy of Literature, congratulations on the admission of the junior brother and sister, I hope to live up to the instructions of the head of the academy in the future and study hard!"

After finishing speaking, the seven people gave salutes, and at this time, the disciples of the academy were also excited, and some people shouted: "Senior sister, I am willing to practice with you and share the happy time in Tianxiang Academy!"

Some people also shouted: "Which stinky and shameless person has spoken everyone's heart!"

"Senior sister, there are also talented junior disciples in the Martial Academy, such as me!"

Protect my senior sister of the Academy of Letters!"

"You don't have a junior sister, do you?"

The students of the college were lively, and the people around them also laughed.

Xiao Hai nodded: "This style is what I like!"

The eldest brother suddenly turned around and said, "What do you like, you little arms and legs, I don't dare to say I like it!"

Xiao Hai looked at the five big and three thick-looking and ordinary-looking man in front of him, patted him and said, "Watch the play!"

The big man cut and crossed his feet to look at the light chief. After everyone quieted down, the seven women sat cross-legged on the ground, and then the beautiful music came into their ears, Xiao Hai didn't understand it at all, but he thought it was good.

Xiao Hai listened to the beautiful sound of the piano, and said in his heart that Xiaoxiao, that girl, known as a talented girl in ten miles and eight villages, is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has never heard her play, who is cheaper?

Xiao Hai asked the eldest brother in surprise: "Big brother, do you understand?"

The eldest brother asked Xiao Haidian to speak: "I don't understand, but I know how to listen to it!"

Xiao Hai nodded and agreed! After the song, thunderous applause erupted around him. Xiao Hai looked at the admiring eyes of the people around him and looked at the seven fairy daughters, Xiao Hai firmly believed that if they were replaced by seven men, these people would definitely not think it would be very good!

Phew!

The seven women retreated under the reluctant gaze of everyone, and some of the disciples of the academy shouted: "Down with the Academy of Literature, capture the senior sister and sister alive!"

"You in the martial arts academy are daring to be delusional, we will write you into the book and write you to death!"

The steward came up and said, "What a song of mountains and rivers, where to find a bosom friend at the end of the world!"

We Tianxiang Academy are capable of family, and we hope that the students will remember what they have just said! Please invite the senior brothers of the Martial Arts Academy to play! At this time, a few students wearing red and black school uniforms walked into the square, with strong bodies, holding their heads high, and wanting to hang their swords!

He hugged his fists around and said, "Martial arts academy disciples for two years, Fu Zhanheng and others welcome junior brothers and sisters!"

At this time, only the female students on both sides of the new disciples discussed, and from time to time they made small noises, and then the male disciples said: "Senior brother, please take care of me in the future, except for the junior sister who can't let me, everything else is easy to say!"

Fu Zhanheng smiled and said, "Your junior brothers and sisters are very interesting!" After speaking, everyone opened three times, the drum beat sounded in the distance, Fu Zhanheng and the others pulled out their swords, and danced with the drum beat, everyone was uniform, and they shouted at the end of each move, the momentum was so big, there was a tendency to swallow mountains and rivers. Xiao Hai nodded, although the sword of this group of people was full of flaws in Xiao Hai's opinion, but the momentum should not be underestimated.

Xiao Hai doesn't understand the routine swordsmanship, but the scene is also very pleasing to the eye, and it keeps malfunctioning.

The eldest brother next to him spoke: "Little brother, I see that you are also carrying a sword, what do you think of their swordsmanship?"

Xiao Hai hurriedly said flatteringly: "It's wonderful, it's amazing!

Only then did the eldest brother say satisfied: "So, you still have to go to the Great Academy to study! You, you are still young, as long as you are willing to work hard, you may not be able to enter Tianxiang Academy, come on!"

Then he gave Xiao Hai an encouraging look, Xiao Hai was 'moved' and patted his eldest brother on the shoulder, signaling that if he didn't look at it again, he would finish playing a set of swordsmanship. The eldest brother hurriedly stared at the field, Xiao Hai smiled, and walked off the stone platform.

Xiao Hai felt that it was almost the same, and it should be a freshman representative performance or something like that, so he didn't have much interest in it. I'm going to wander around somewhere else.

But when he walked to the side of the square, he found that he was not allowed to go in except for going out, and when Xiao Hai was depressed and was about to go out of the gate, someone called him, Xiao Hai looked back and saw that it was Ma Sixiao, and Ma Sixiao was still wearing a green coat and felt hat. Xiao Hai hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Senior Ma!"

Ma Sixiao was surprised why Xiao Hai didn't leave, and Xiao Hai told him what had happened. Ma Sixiao smiled and said: "It's okay, take a two-day break, I can't leave this square now, Tianxiang Academy is very big, and the scenery inside is also good, you walk here and wait for me at night." ”

Before Xiao Hai could agree, Ma Sixiao walked directly to the steward, and when the steward saw that the nursing home had spoken in person, he agreed to Xiao Hai to enter the inner courtyard.

After Xiao Hai said goodbye to Ma Sixiao, he walked around the square, listening to the cheers in the square, the sword was stuck horizontally on his waist, his head was held in both hands, and he walked far in.
