Text Preface 8 Hearing the Wonderland at First Glance, Ancient Books and Canons (II)
Fang Zheng didn't know how much time had passed, but he knew that the tea in his hand had lost any temperature when he came back to his senses. My head was still buzzing, and my thoughts were in disarray. Fortunately, he still remembered the afternoon exam, and he also understood that it was not too early, and it was too late to clean up these messy things, and he didn't know how to deal with it at this time.
Although I don't have time to delve into it now, the puddle of ashes on the bed must be dealt with, and then I have to explain to Zhang Meng and others the reason why the man in black disappeared. Thinking of this, Fang Zheng had a headache again. This one died simply, but he left himself with a bunch of trouble. A big living person disappeared in the blink of an eye, and you can't tell others that he just turned to ashes with a pop. Although this is true, someone must believe it. Although this appearance is weird enough.
This thought gave Fang Zheng inspiration, and he simply said that this person disappeared for no reason, which is easier to accept than saying that he is dead. With the strange foreshadowing that fell from the sky before, it is not so magical that he has disappeared inexplicably now.
Packing up his thoughts, Fang Zheng found a handkerchief and carefully packed up the ashes on the bed.
It seems that he doesn't have to think about where to go and what to do next, the "person" in the bag in front of him has already arranged it for him. Qingyun Mountain is his next journey.
Of course, Fang Zheng could not go, after all, he had never promised the man in black. It's just that he really doesn't have a clear place to go, he is just going to travel around, take a step at a time, and go to Qingyun Mountain is not contrary to his original intention. Second, even if it is not related to the family, the dying wish of a person who has died is willing to help him fulfill it. It's not about the benefits it promises.
Thinking of the benefits, Fang Zheng remembered the ring again, because it was too shocking at that time, he had time to pay attention to it, the ring fell in front of him and rolled down to the corner of the table, and now he is lying there quietly. Fang Zheng took a look, and saw that this thing was much larger than an ordinary ring, not so much a ring as a wrench. The whole body is turquoise, and it seems to be made of jade. Fang Zheng stepped forward to pick it up and took it to his hand to take a closer look, only to feel that it was slightly warm in his hand, not as cold as ordinary stones, and the weight was not light. There are several cloud-like patterns engraved on it, and Fang Zheng counted them carefully, and there are seven in total. The workmanship is very exquisite, and it is indeed not like an ordinary thing. Fang Zheng sighed and silently put it away. He didn't have much curiosity, and he didn't try to verify the method of opening the vows that the man in black said. Although he was ready to go to Qingyun and his party, the benefits promised by the man were never thought of accepting. In his opinion, this ring, no matter how valuable it was, was a relic of the man in black, and should be given to his family. According to the explanation of the man in black, his family should be in the Tianxin faction of Qingyun Mountain.
Just after Fang Zheng had just cleaned up these things, Zhang Meng's voice sounded outside the door, "Brother Fang, it's almost time, it's time for us to go to the examination room." ”
"Brother Zhang, please come in, I'm about to come over to look for you. Fang Zheng replied inside.
Zhang Meng pushed the door and walked in, looked around, and saw that there was no figure of the man in black on the bed, he was a little strange, and asked "that ......" Zhang Meng didn't know what to call the man in black.
"Oh, Brother Zhang is talking about the eldest brother who was saved by the younger brother, Lang Zhong woke up as soon as he left with his front foot, saying that he was still in a hurry and left, and he didn't say anything else, even Chen Langzhong's medicine was not willing to wait, he was really a strange person. ”
Fang Zheng shook his head and sighed while talking nonsense, pretending to be strange. Zhang Meng didn't doubt him, and he also sighed "strange" and ignored it. To him, the matter of those children's schooling is bigger than the sky, and everything else is inconsequential and idle, and besides, it is better for the brother to go away, and save more trouble.
"If Brother Fang is ready, let's go, the children have already packed up, but they are all a little nervous, and they still want you, Mr., to press the formation. He laughed to himself
"Let's go, let's go see. Fang Zheng responded. It is inevitable that children will be nervous, and it is strange that they are not nervous about taking the exam for the first time in their lives. I still remember the nervousness and apprehension of my college entrance examination back then, not only because of my concern for success or failure, but also because of my attachment to parting and the fear of leaving my hometown for college life. It is said that "good men are ambitious in all directions", but how many people can really be carefree? Even if he is just an orphan with no relatives and no reason, the orphanage where he has lived for more than ten years is his home.
Fang Zheng followed Zhang Meng to the next door in such a cranky thought, only to see that the children had already packed up their things and were talking about what topics they were talking about, but they lacked the lightness and liveliness of their weekdays. Not even when I came in didn't even notice.
Seeing this, Fang Zheng coughed lightly to arouse their attention, and then spoke, "Are you all ready?"
"Hello sir" sporadic voices sounded, missing the neatness and vigor of the past.
Fang Zheng smiled slightly, "Do you remember the first lesson I taught you?" Fang Zheng said here, and some of the children showed a look of reminiscence. And a few of them who reacted quickly couldn't help but laugh out loud. They still remember that they were so nervous in the first class three years ago, and after Fang Zheng stood in the lecture hall and made a humorous self-introduction, he began to tell jokes and his own stinky things, which made them laugh, and the first lesson of his life ended in laughter. Since then, they have lost their nervousness and resistance, and the thing they look forward to most every day is to go to the school to listen to Mr. Fang's lectures. A child's world is always very simple, one moment it is still cloudy, but the next second it is already smiling.
"Today's exam is very simple, it is nothing more than literacy and arithmetic. And these things are not difficult for you, whether you have confidence in me as a gentleman or not, but I have confidence in all of you, let's go now, let the blind dates in ten miles and eight towns see the power of our Qingniu boy. ”
The children's emotions were obviously much higher, and Fang Zheng didn't say much, and Zhang Meng took them straight to Chengnan Square. The entrance exam hall is located there. Time was pressing, and there was nothing to say along the way. By the time they arrived, there were already a lot of people around, including children taking the exam, parents sending them to the exam, and more spectators watching the excitement. Fortunately, the south square of the city is big enough, otherwise I am afraid that this exam will not be held.
After registration, licensing, partitioning, and then going through the entrance inspection, the children entered the examination room one by one and sat in front of their own examination desks. The whole examination room starts from the stage at the front of the square, and more than 1,000 low tables three feet long and one foot wide are spread out to occupy two-thirds of the square, and each table is about five feet apart, arranged neatly. After all, Daliang's education system has just started, and the ages of the children who entered the village three years ago are also uneven, and it is the first time to see such a big scene, some of the younger children have already cried, and some are unwilling to sit down and clamoring to go home. The whole scene was a little chaotic, and at this time, I saw an elegant middle-aged man dressed as a scribe in his forties, standing on the stage and exhaling, "Silence! Candidates who are not seated are limited to sitting within ten breaths, and all idle people will retreat to twenty steps away!"
One man's voice drowned out the noise of thousands, as if ringing in his ears. Fang Zheng was no longer surprised at this moment, with the experience of the man in black before, he didn't feel strange that someone really used the Rulai Divine Palm in front of him now. There's so much magic in this world.
The scene fell silent instantly, and it seemed that this scribe should still have a special identity.
Ten breaths later, the exam officially began, and the crowd of onlookers had retreated outside the exam room to watch from afar. Fang Zheng also saw that there were several children who were still reluctant to enter the arena and could only be taken down by their elders.
Fang Zheng also sighed a little for a while, although such a scene was still rough, it was very shocking, at least on the earth, this kind of examination method could not be seen......
It wasn't until dark that Fang Zheng returned to the inn, and only he and Zhang Meng came back, and the children had all been arranged into the newly built academy on the edge of the square in the south of the city. When he saw the new school building, Fang Zheng once again sighed for the grandeur of King Liang. There are a total of 48 villages under the jurisdiction of Bin County, and a total of 1,642 children enrolled in the school this time have not taken the exam. And that school building is estimated to cover an area of at least 800 acres, which is almost the same as the campus area of the university he studied on Earth. At that time, there were more than 12,000 people in that school. The college has complete infrastructure and dormitory canteens. The dormitory is a six-person room, and there are a total of 36 children in Qingniu Village, which happens to occupy six rooms.
It is only now that Founder has some understanding of the relevant personnel of this admission. It turned out that the scribe I saw in the examination place today was the dean of this newly built college, and his identity was originally a member of the army in Tianzheng Province, although he was only a seven-rank civil official, but he was a celebrity next to the number one "Metropolitan Governor" in Tianzheng Province. Now that it is "airborne" here, maybe the county master did not trouble himself in this exam, and there is also a reason for this. Fang Zheng thought so. It's just that he didn't know that it was another real nobleman who really helped.
However, the purpose of this entrance exam is not the elimination system as Founder previously understood, all students participating in the exam are all enrolled, and the purpose of the exam is only for grading. Admission is graded according to grades, and then graded education. Fangzheng has been numb, this is the living earth China's nine-year education method, the difference is that there are not as many as nine years here, and some of the corresponding systems are not so detailed and comprehensive, but the general structure is very close. Fang Zheng really wanted to know who proposed such an education system. Village schools are similar to the "kindergartens" of the earth, and they are privately run by each village, while the county colleges have become "primary schools", which are completely officially accepted, and this exam is not just for the purpose of dividing "first, second, and third grades". After doing it for a long time, it turned out that he had been a "kindergarten teacher" for three years, and Fang Zheng was a little funny. As for the results, they will not be released until three days later, and at that time, they will be ranked on a village-by-village basis. These are no longer important to Fang Zheng, as long as the child successfully enters school, his task can be considered a successful completion.
Fang Zheng remembered the scene when he was separated from the children before, and felt a little sad for a while, the separation at this moment is goodbye to each other, and the mountain is far away, and there will be no time in the future! This is the only thing he has been in this world for three years. The abrupt end at this moment also made Fang Zheng a little sad for a while.
Packing up his emotions, Fang Zheng took out the ring left by the man in black and the somewhat magical ancient book. The ring is someone else's thing, put it aside, although the ancient book is also a gift from someone else, it is already his own. Fang Zheng is not so pedantic, and he will not take it back and return it to the old village chief of Qingshui because of the magic of this book.
Now the cover of this book has been completely torn into waste paper, and the book that originally had no name is blank on the first page, and Fang Zheng has not been able to understand it after studying it for a long time. Blisters are obviously useless, and fire is not enough, and these two methods have been experienced inadvertently for a long time. And Fang Zheng looked carefully, each of these three pages has only a thin layer, and the possibility of hidden entrainment is not large. That's when an idea popped into my mind. When he was on Earth, he also read a lot of Xiuzhen novels and film and television works, among which there were many episodes where he encountered treasures and wanted to drip blood. "Do you really want to drip blood?" It's not difficult, he's a big man, is he afraid of pain. As soon as he thought of it, Fang Zheng found a knife to cut his fingers, squeezed out a few drops of blood and dripped them onto the page, only to see the blood rolling around on the page, as if there was a layer of wax on it, but there was no other reaction. Fang Zheng was not much disappointed, after all, he didn't have any hope from the bottom of his heart. It's just a joke on my own whim. Fang Zheng was about to find something to stop the bleeding, but at this moment, there was a loud sound on the page, and the blood beads that fell on it were as if they were being boiled, and the room was instantly filled with a pungent bloody breath. Until the blood on the page disappeared completely, and a line of seal characters appeared......
