Lingyin Mountain, there are two Confucian gardens, one is Yishan Academy, the other is Lingyin Pavilion; compared with the mystery of Lingyin Pavilion, Yishan Academy is widely known; Yishan Academy, as the name suggests, is built by the mountain; because in recent years, there are many children who have a brilliant career, so the fame of this Yishan Academy has also grown.

It is also because of this that there is an endless stream of scholars who come to Yishan Academy to seek students, and now it is time for the academy to recruit disciples; at this moment, before the academy, hundreds of young men have gathered bustlingly, including Cheng Yixue and Zhou Tang.

On the bluestone staircase is a huge door frame; there is a plaque hanging above, which is the four strong characters of Yishan Academy; there are two desks on both sides under the door frame, at this moment, there are many ancient books on the desk; in front of the desk, there are two Confucian children, who are constantly looking at the ancient books, asking questions to the disciples who come to the assessment.

In the middle of the two Confucian children was an old man in his sixties, who was curiously looking at the faces of the many disciples, looking quite curious, and did not speak, sometimes shaking his head, sometimes nodding.

Cheng Yixue and Zhou Tang stood at the end, Zhou Tang was still holding a yellowed book and reading it non-stop, while Cheng Yixue looked quietly into the distance, his heart fluctuated, but to his surprise, he found that the old man was actually a monk, although his cultivation was very low, but he did have mana fluctuations in his body.

As for the questions raised by the two Confucian boys, they were all about Confucian Jinglun, Cheng Yixue didn't understand anything except for the occasional recitation of Zhou Tang in the past few days, and at this moment, when he saw these disciples in front of him who had read Confucian Jinglun, he couldn't answer them. Cheng Yixue also began to get anxious in her heart.

Zhou Tang looked relaxed, looked at it with relish, and smirked a few words from time to time. Then he looked at Cheng Yixue, and when he saw Cheng Yixue's eyebrows frowning, Zhou Tang couldn't help but smile and asked, "Brother Cheng, are you very nervous?"

Hearing this, Cheng Yixue rolled her eyes, and then asked, "Do you think I'm nervous?"

"Haha, not like. Generally speaking, if you don't understand anything, you won't be very nervous. Zhou Tang said with a chuckle. Cheng Yixue was speechless after hearing this.

"The rise and fall of the ages, future generations will talk about its mourning, if it is not clear, it is the mourning of Brother Cheng. What's the next sentence?" Zhou Tang saw Cheng Yixue's expression. I couldn't help but ask quips.

Cheng Yixue was speechless for a while, but she couldn't answer for a while, and was about to ask Zhou Tang, but saw that the Confucian boy in front of her had completed the assessment, and it happened to be Zhou Tang's turn, seeing this, Zhou Tang didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately stepped forward to accept the assessment. Cheng Yixue stood in the distance and watched, only to see Zhou Tang hesitate for a while. After whispering a few words, he happily entered the academy.

Then, it was Cheng Yixue; Cheng Yixue paused, then stepped forward; slowly walked in front of the Confucian boy, only to see the Confucian boy look at it lightly, and then said: "Where did you come from?

"It's from Hongguan Mansion in Yingzhou. Cheng Yixue said the words that had been prepared for a long time, and then took out a bamboo card from his arms and handed it to the Confucian child, who picked up the bamboo card and looked at it a few times, then bowed his head slightly.

Then, I saw the Confucian boy slowly open a book, and after looking at it twice, he asked: "The last essay is a proverb, and the sentences of Su Ai Zhe are combined into chapters; ”

Cheng Yixue stood in front of the Confucian boy with a stunned expression, he didn't know the origin of this sentence, but he couldn't be silent, and after thinking for a while, he said: "I think that the people of the country are also, since ancient times, the replacement of the country has been lost by the people, and the world has rioted."

Cheng Yixue was born in the family of the official eunuch since he was a child, so he can also tell the key to it; however, in the Tianlong Empire, the study of Confucianism is extremely complex, even though he talks a lot, but the Confucian boy also shook his head again and again after hearing it; after Cheng Yixue finished speaking, the Confucian boy who listened to it said: "Your opinions are lackluster; all of them are what the predecessors said, so let's go back here Alas, it's not easy for you to come, you are young, you are so old when you study Confucianism, go back and reflect on it, and talk about it in the next year." ”

"What?" After Cheng Yixue heard this, his expression changed suddenly, and his heart became even more anxious, if he couldn't enter the Lingyin Pavilion, how could he get the Confucian magic trick to dissolve the evil qi in his body.

"Let's go, let's go, don't disturb other people's exams. The Confucian boy looked at Cheng Yixue's appearance and said with some annoyance, Cheng Yixue cursed a few times secretly, and was about to leave to find another way, when he turned his eyes, he saw the old man looking at him with a smile and a groan

After seeing this scene, Cheng Yixue's mind changed, and suddenly he had a plan; at that moment, the mana in his body was released outward, and then, he walked in front of the old man; Cheng Yixue didn't dare to show too much cultivation in this kind of place, but he was so close to this old man; he believed that the old man would definitely be able to sense it.

"Hey, what's your name?" Sure enough, in front of Cheng Yixue walking past the old man, the old man looked stunned and suddenly asked Cheng Yixue.

Cheng Yixue was overjoyed in her heart, with a panicked look on her face, and then bowed down and replied: "Junior Cheng Yixue, I have seen my seniors. ”

"Well, although your previous reply was not good, it is also commendable, so let's do it, the old man can be accommodating, and you can also study in the academy, by the way, you go to the Tianru Hall in the academy first and wait for me, the old man and you still have something to discuss. The old man glanced at Cheng Yixue slightly and said with satisfaction.

Cheng Yixue was stunned, he didn't expect it to be so simple, the old man looked at Cheng Yixue's expression, and couldn't help but ask: "What, you don't want to?"

"The younger generation obeys the order!" Cheng Yixue came back to her senses and replied, and then she said goodbye and left, and went straight to the Yishan Academy to enter; in this academy, the construction is quite elegant and quiet, the small bridge rockery, Qihua Yao grass, everywhere is full of the atmosphere of mountains and rivers, but it is not solemn; after Cheng Yixue entered the academy, after some searching, he came to the main hall of the Tianru Palace.

The Tianru Hall is in the square, there is a huge Confucian character hanging in the front of the hall, the sandalwood is curling below, there are several antique flower baskets everywhere at the door, there are several rattan chairs on both sides of the passage, and in front of the rattan chair is a black table, on which a ring ruler is visited.

In addition, the arrangement was unusual, and Cheng Yixue was standing in place, thinking about how to talk to the old man, but she didn't expect it to come at this moment.

"Cheng boy, when that person comes in for a while, you explore his true cultivation. Yuyangjun said.

"Oh, what does the senior mean, that person concealed his cultivation?" Cheng Yixue asked in surprise when she heard this.

"Well, the old man is just suspicious, the old man felt a very unusual aura hidden here, and he was waiting for an opportunity to explore your body, but fortunately, your kid is extremely angry, and the breath dissipated after just a little contact. Yuyangjun explained.

"Oh, there is such a thing" Cheng Yixue's eyes flashed with doubts, he first came here, in order to prevent others from noticing him, not only did he hide his own cultivation seal, but even his divine thoughts did not dare to release it at will, so he didn't know anything about the previous things.

Just thinking about it, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the hall, Cheng Yixue looked up, it was the old man who came, although the old man was old, but he walked vigorously, wearing a gray and white Confucian robe, with three strands of long hair, and looked quite kind.

"Haha, I've kept you waiting, it's the old man who is late. As soon as the old man entered the hall, he said with a smile, and then beckoned Cheng Yixue to sit down.

"The seniors are serious, and the seniors can give their disciples the opportunity to study in the academy, even if they are willing to wait for a long time. Cheng Yixue said with a smile.

"Hey, don't call me a senior, since you have entered the academy, call me sir; I heard your previous question very clearly, in fact, according to the regulations of the assessment, you should not have entered the academy, but the old man still allowed you to enter the academy, nephew, do you know why?" the old man stroked his beard and replied with a smile.

"The younger generation doesn't know, and please ask Mr. to solve the doubts. Cheng Yixue pretended to be stupid and said.

"Haha~ Cheng Xian's nephew, why do you pretend not to know, in fact, you have a spiritual root, and you have cultivated enough to have a spiritual six-layer realm, you came to my Yishan Academy, presumably to enter Lingyin Pavilion to continue practicing Confucianism. The old man looked at Cheng Yixue with deep meaning and said.

"This is true, but I didn't expect Mr. to see this cultivation of the juniors, which made Mr. smile. Cheng Yixue pretended to be embarrassed and said.

"It's nothing, the old man is also an immortal cultivator, naturally it is not difficult to see, in the past, there were many Confucian scholars like you who came, and some of them cultivated much higher than you, but it was not as easy as imagined to enter the Lingyin Pavilion. ”

"The pavilion masters of the Lingyin Pavilion are Ruoyan and Ruoli, two seniors; although they are ordered here, they have never taken the men of the academy seriously; the old man has been here for fifty years, and there are only dozens of disciples who have been favored by them; if you want to cultivate superior Confucianism, you can still directly worship a sect like the Holy Gate. The old man explained to Cheng Yixue with a kind expression.

"Sir summoned the junior here today, presumably there is another way. Cheng Yixue said with such speculation.

"Hehe, you're not stupid, there is indeed another way, that is, to recommend, the old man is still a little thin-faced, thinking that if he recommends a person, Lingyin Pavilion can still accept it. The old man said with a smile.

"Please also sir. Cheng Yixue bowed and said.

"Cheng Xian's nephew, this is not a difficult matter, you and I have a fate today, the old man will naturally recommend you, but there is another thing that needs to be explained to the virtuous nephew, if the virtuous nephew agrees, it is the best; if the virtuous nephew does not agree, the old man will not make it difficult for you." After the old man paused, he began to put forward the conditions euphemistically. (To be continued)(To be continued......
