Chapter 11: The Academy of the Heavenly Gods
Cao Dade looked at Zhang Heng's expression, turned his head silently, and spit out two words, "Turtle"
After queuing up to enter the city, it was already dark, and the two looked for a place to eat, but they heard the person next to them say, "The annual opening day of Tianshen Academy has arrived, I don't know how many people will go back this time." β
"It's nothing more than some children of the family, and there aren't many civilians who can go in," said another man next to him.
The person who spoke before hurriedly looked left and right, and quickly covered the mouth of the person who spoke, "Don't talk nonsense, you can't find death"
The man who was slightly drunk also came to his senses, and several people left quickly after settling the bill, for fear of being heard what he had just said.
Zhang Heng put down the dishes and chopsticks and asked Cao Dade, who was immersed in eating next to him, "What is the place of Tianshen Academy?"
Cao Dade said without raising his head, "It's nothing more than a place to cultivate, you can go and see if you can get in." β
Zhang Heng asked in a heartfelt manner: "Then where is there any silver to take, do you have to eat and live?"
Cao Dade hadn't spoken yet, but the person next to him was already laughing and couldn't straighten his waist, pointed at Zhang Heng and said, "Little brother, as long as you can enter the Tianshen Academy, let alone silver, as long as you have a chance, your daughter-in-law can be found." β
Zhang Heng immediately blushed when he heard this, and whispered, "Just have the silver, the daughter-in-law is not in a hurry, not in a hurry"
And Cao Dade was already ashamed of Zhang Heng's innocence, and he was ashamed of himself, so he couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks in his hand and hammer this elm-headed Zhang Heng. I roared loudly in my heart, didn't I see that he was mocking you? I don't know if he was saying that you couldn't enter the Heavenly God Academy at all? You still talked to you. Are you a fool?
Hurriedly got up and dropped two taels of silver, pulled Zhang Heng and hurriedly ran away, and there was a burst of laughter from behind, "This young man is too naΓ―ve, and he is not as clever as that little child." β
Zhang Heng didn't know why, he just looked at the silver on the table and said, "Two bowls of noodles, you give two taels of silver, waste, waste" The sad expression on his face made Cao Dade want to hit him with silver, although he didn't have it.
When he walked to a place where there were few people, Cao Dade turned around and said with a dark face, "Why are you so stunned, people are ridiculing you for not being able to enter the Heavenly God Academy, and you even chatted with others." As he spoke, he stood on tiptoe, poked his finger into his heart and said, "Are you missing the heart eye, are you not missing the heart eye?" β
Zhang Heng's Cao Dade's words couldn't raise his head, so he could only pretend not to hear them, after all, after getting along for so long, he was also used to the other party's poisonous tongue.
Seeing that Zhang Heng ignored himself, Cao Dade's eyes turned, and then they lit up, and he pulled Zhang Heng to find a small inn, slapped the only silver ingot left in Zhang Heng's arms on the counter and said, "Little Er, open a room," After the two of them were brought to the room, they gave a few pieces of broken silver and said, "Inquire about something, when will Tianshen Academy start recruiting students."
Hearing the two of them ask about this, their eyebrows immediately danced, "Tianshen Academy, this year's enrollment will be enrolled, it is said that only ten places have been set this year, in fact, they are all booked by the children of the nobles, if the two of them go, ......" Speaking of this, Xiao Er looked up and down, and then shook his head.
Cao Dade was not annoyed, and said with a smile, "When did it start, let's just go and see a lively scene." Then he gave Xiao Er a piece of broken silver, and Zhang Heng looked distressed. But remembering the previous advice, he could only turn his head and not look at it, and silently recited "Don't feel distressed, don't feel distressed, out of sight is pure," but in the end, only he knows whether he is distressed or not.
"Xiao objective, you came very coincidentally, this year's enrollment will start tomorrow morning, although there is little hope for you to get in, but it's good to take a look at the excitement. β
Asking what he wanted to inquire about, Cao Dade's face suddenly changed, and he snatched back the broken silver he had given before and said, "Get out, I'm going to sleep."
Seeing Cao Dade do it, the little second was also shocked, and then looked at the capricious little face, only to feel that the child who was very pleasing to the eye before felt extremely hateful at the moment. I wanted to do it, but I was stared at by the young man sitting next to me, and then muttered a few words with hatred, and slammed the door.
Zhang Heng, who was originally distressed, was also smiling when he saw the silver returned to his hand again, but he still said puzzledly, "Why did you give it to him and snatch it back?"
I saw that Cao Dade was straightforward, and said as a matter of course, "I gave it, why can't I get it back, besides, I'm not stupid, I've given it to him, what will I eat tomorrow?"
Zhang Heng was speechless, he also discovered now that no matter what, Cao Dade has his own reasoning, anyway, the silver has returned, so he won't reason with him.
"Sleep, get up early tomorrow to sign up, see if you can enter the Heavenly God Academy, if you can't get in, why will the two of them fall into the streets" Cao Dade climbed into bed and said slowly.
Zhang Heng, who was already sleepy, suddenly woke up when he heard this, and thought to himself what if he didn't go in, did he want to find a job to make money to support his children?
However, Cao Dade on the other side is really not worried about not being able to enter, Zhang Heng has already turned into a mortal realm at a young age, although he is not as proud as the pride of the heavens of the big clans on the mainland, but in such a small border country, how can he say that he is also a genius, what can be the problem of entering a small academy.
Sleepless all night, the next day the two got up early to wash, and then inquired all the way to the Tianshen Academy, only to see that the huge square, now it is already a sea of people, but most of them are some people who watch the excitement, and the young civilian children are very few, the front of several big carriages parked, especially in the middle of the most luxurious, the horse is a rare sweat and blood BMW, and the car is also made of fine iron, carved dragons and phoenixes on the top, magnificent, and there are guards with knives on the left and right, unconsciously exposed a large piece of open space aroundγ
Zhang Heng took Cao Dade all the way to the loophole, and finally came to the front position, looking at the gate of the academy that was bigger than the city gate, he couldn't help but sigh and insight.
Soon the sun rose, and because of the already hot weather and the crowding around, many people felt bored and left, but there were also many people left, most of whom came with children to try their luck.
After a short time, the closed door of the academy slowly opened, and a faint mist poured out of it, only to feel that the originally stuffy square began to cool down a lot.
About ten people walked out of the door, two of them were middle-aged men leading the way, and the remaining eight people carried two huge stone tablets in batches and placed them on the left and right sides of the gate with a bang.
One of the leading men said loudly, "Those who want to enter the Heavenly God Academy, please consciously line up, and everyone step forward and touch the talent test tablet on the left, the talent is divided into five grades, yellow, blue, green, gold, and purple. "Take the top 50 and start now.
After the words fell, he sat next to him and waited, while another middle-aged man stared at the field with his eyes like torches, and there was also a young man next to the test tablet, only to see him looking at the stone tablet with an expressionless face, "Yellow, name," and after the record was completed, he said the next one.
"Green is bright" Zhang Heng, who was queuing in the back, heard the commotion coming from the front, stretched his neck to look, and saw a young man with a handsome face, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and glanced behind him, his eyes were full of contempt.
Someone sighed, "It is worthy of being the pride of the Li family, and it is difficult for my generation to reach it." β
Even the young man who recorded the record pale, nodded and said to go and rest. This obvious difference in treatment before and after made the previous students blush, but they didn't dare to say anything.
And Cao Dade, who was next to Zhang Heng, yawned and said, "Spicy chicken, just this thing, most of the good seedlings have been removed." β
Zhang Heng didn't know why, and looked at Cao Dade.
Cao Dade also had a rare patience to explain, "This is just an impact with Yuan Li, the stronger your Yuan Li, the brighter the color grade, this kid's foundation is vain, at first glance, he is eating a treasure of heaven and earth, a spicy chicken." β
And this little turmoil also disappeared quickly, but Zhang Heng saw that the people in the carriage had come down before, but they did not go to the test, but directly entered the academy, a total of two people, a man and a woman, but the man's back felt a little familiar.
"Oh my God, golden" Suddenly, there was an uproar in front of me again, and I saw a golden light light on the test tablet, accompanied by a burst of admiration.
Even the two middle-aged men with flat faces stood up with a shocked expression, and soon took the young man directly into the academy, and at first glance, he didn't even need the test later.
Zhang Heng was a little envious, thinking that if it was his turn, would a purple light come out all of a sudden, and then he would go in directly.
However, what was destined to disappoint him was that all he had was a cyan glow, and soon fifty people were selected, and he saw that among them, there were 43 cyan ones, four greens, plus the three who had entered directly before, exactly fifty people.
Zhang Heng glanced at it, among the four young people with green talents, three of them had an extraordinarily long breath, coupled with their good appearance, which caused the girls below to scream again and again.
Zhang Heng looked at his own treatment and the other party's treatment, and said in his heart, "It's good to look so good, it's not like you're waiting under the sun with me." β
Next, I tested my strength and fought towards this place with all my might, and the seven people with the highest fist power were admitted.
There was an uproar as the words fell, and one of the men asked, "Why seven, wasn't it all ten before?"
I saw the middle-aged man say expressionlessly, "There are ten in total, seven are admitted here, and three just went in, isn't it just right? Are you not convinced? No way, life is like this, they have power, money, and talent." You can't compare, and instead of complaining here, you don't think about how to get one of the remaining seven spots. β
When the words fell, the young man also blushed, and he couldn't say a word, but Zhang Heng was recalling the words of the middle-aged man, indeed, they have power, money, and talent, what about themselves?
Thinking back to the departure from Qingyang Village, the brutal hunting in the forest of wild beasts, the escape from the tiger's mouth in order to survive, and the escape from falling into the cliff, that time was not a near death, and I couldn't help but think of what Cao Dade said once before, cultivation is 90% effort to strengthen 10% luck. As long as you are not moved by external objects and have a strong Dao heart, there will always be a day when you will get ahead. Thinking of the waist that bent down slightly because of low self-esteem, I couldn't help but straighten up a little, and there was a little more tenacity in the flashing eyes before.
Or that's what the old gentleman said, people will grow.
