In the early morning, the morning sun is golden, and through the clouds and mist, it dyes a lake in the fish courtyard golden, like a huge bronze mirror reflecting the sky.

The lake is called Manyu Lake, and it is one of the five beautiful scenery of the fish house, which is home to a variety of koi fish. Under the morning sun, the fish are also vigorous, jumping out of the lake from time to time, and the mercury brought up sparkles in the sun, which is beautiful.

A huge white marble arch bridge spans Wanyu Lake, like a jade belt connecting the two banks, and the bridge body and railing are carved with delicate fish patterns, lifelike and ingenious.

There are 100 steps on both sides of the bridge, and there are two white jade steles erected at each of the two bridgeheads, which are carved with two strong words, one end is 'floating', and the other end is 'sinking'.

At this end of the floating word, a group of students stand quietly, they come from Tiannan and Haibei in Donglai Prefecture, some are from the sect, some are from the family, all of them are talented people who built the foundation before the age of 30, during the beginning of spring to the beginning of summer this year, they signed up for admission, about 100 people. Cao Xiaoning and Xu Sansi were among them, and the white and chubby gentleman Fan Xiaoyong was also there.

A deacon who was in charge of this test stood in front of the students, pointed to the floating and sinking bridge behind him, and said loudly: "This bridge is called the floating and sinking bridge, and your test today is to cross this bridge." ”

Everyone looked at the floating and sinking bridge, and the local students in Anhai City knew the origin of the floating and sinking bridge, while the rest of the foreign students did not know why, looked at each other, and did not understand the mystery.

"The floating and sinking bridge is not an ordinary bridge, the bridge steps are lined with formations, every step will be difficult, who goes farther, the stronger the strength of the representative. ”

The deacon explained: "The two stairs are completely different, the bridge at the end of which we are standing is a floating staircase, which will have a repulsive force that will repel you from standing on it, while the sinking staircase on the other side, full of gravity, will imprison your feet firmly on the stairs. And the higher the floating stairs go up, the more difficult it becomes, and the lower the sinking stairs become, so the farther you go, the closer you get to the opposite shore, the more difficult it is to move an inch. ”

All the students had solemn faces, especially those local students in Anhai City, who had been exposed to it since they were children, and they knew how difficult it was to walk this floating and sinking bridge.

The floating and sinking bridge, which has eight fish courtyards, is specially used to test the qualifications of students during the foundation building period, but since the establishment of the floating and sinking bridge, no one has ever been able to complete all the bridge steps and reach the other side.

Never.

Historically, among the eight fish courtyards, the best result of the floating and sinking bridge is that after walking the floating steps, it has walked eighty percent of the sinking steps, a total of one hundred and eighty steps, and no one has broken it so far.

Coincidentally, the creator of this record is Pei Xuan, a former student of Donglaizhou Fish Academy.

Pei Xuan, known as the most shining student in the history of Donglaizhou Fish Academy, is the pride of Donglai Zhou Fish Academy.

More than ten years ago, on behalf of the Donglai Zhou Fish Academy to participate in the Dragon Gate Conference, the students of the other seven states were beaten, and entered the Dragon Academy with the first place in the ranks, and now it is the best among the students of the Dragon Academy, and is destined to become the mainstay of the Dachun Dynasty. There is no student in Donglaizhou Fish Academy who does not regard Pei Xuan as a target to catch up, but he is always far away.

You must know that now in Donglaizhou Fish Academy, Yin Ya, who ranks first on the scale list, only walked half of the floating ladder after completing the floating steps, a total of 150 steps, which shows the horror of Pei Xuan back then. And it is precisely because of Pei Xuan that the last twenty steps of the Shen Rank are called the unmanned Rank.

No one can stand!

......

......

On the other side of the bridge with the word sinking, nine Taishi chairs were lined up, and eight Jindan monks were sitting, and the last chair was empty.

They are all teachers of the Fish Academy, in charge of nine pavilions, today will watch the students on the other side of the bridge walk the floating bridge, if you are satisfied with the performance of the students, you can invite students to enter their own pavilion, if there are more than two teachers to send an invitation, students can choose by themselves.

And when the student has completed the test, no teacher has chosen him, and the student will not be able to enter any of the kiosks, and will first follow the ordinary teaching to learn, and then make a decision later.

Sitting in the center is a frost-haired old man, with a thin face, but he is in good spirits, and there is an air of pride between his eyebrows, this person is the master of the Daozheng Pavilion, Qiu Liqun.

Qiu Liqun is the most respected and the strongest teacher in the nine pavilions of the Donglai Prefecture Fish Academy, and three of the top ten in the current scale list are his students, and the most talked about is the former Tianjiao Pei Xuan, who is also Qiu Liqun's student.

The relationship between the master and apprentice is very good, although Pei Xuan is now in the Dragon Academy, he sometimes comes to visit Qiu Liqun, the apprentice is destined to become the pillar of the Dachun Dynasty, Qiu Liqun himself has also been stained, so in the Donglaizhou Fish Academy, Qiu Liqun's status is only below the dean, which can be described as the limelight. Every time, the students will also give priority to him, and after Qiu Liqun's quota is full, it will be the turn of the rest of the teachers.

Qiu Liqun glanced at the empty chair at the end, frowned and said unhappily, "Why didn't Yan Qing come?"

The division commander sitting next to him said: "I heard that Yan Qing went to Zangxian Island a few days ago, and he has been drunk for a few days and nights. ”

Qiu Liqun snorted coldly and said: "It's really not like it's getting worse, relying on the fact that I am the dean's brother, I know how to raise fish and grow flowers on weekdays, and I don't think about teaching students, even if I don't think about teaching students, I still run to the Qinglou all day long, what kind of system is it?"

The teachers on the side all echoed Qiu Liqun, saying that Yan Qing was not doing his job properly and was not qualified to be the head of the Blue Jade Seat again.

......

......

On the other side of Wanyu Lake, there are also many figures.

Wearing fish scale suits and holding envy swords, they are all old students of scholars, and they came to Wanyu Lake to see these students crossing the floating and sinking bridge.

In a corner, two men stood side by side, and one asked, "Senior Brother Qiu, do you think there will be good results between them?"

The man known as Senior Brother Qiu held the sword in both hands, his eyes were proud, and he smiled disdainfully, his smile was exaggerated, and the corners of his mouth rose to an astonishing extent, as if his mouth was crooked. Then he said: "A group of fish that have slipped through the net, what good results can be produced?"

The fish that slipped through the net is talking about Cao Xiaoning's group of students.

The main way for the fish academy to accept students is to go to the mortal world through special people to find children with cultivation talents, and bring them back to the academy to cultivate cultivation, just like the sect goes to the mortal world to dig seedlings. This kind of special search is called 'angler'.

But even if there are a lot of fishermen in the fish yard, looking for good 'fish fry' all over the world, there are so many living beings that it is impossible to dig them all, and there will always be fish that slip through the net.

In order for these fish to slip through the net to be used by the academy, the academy also opened a door, which is the origin of the rule that 'cultivators who have built a foundation before the age of thirty, regardless of their background, can sign up for the academy', so that more people can enter the academy and strengthen the strength of the Fish Dragon Academy.
