Nightfall

For Ning Que, the opening of the second floor is a big event, no matter whether he has the possibility to seize the slim opportunity, but at least this opportunity is realistically placed in front of his eyes.

For most people, it is a quality that is worth appreciating when they are mostly quiet. Ning Que, who has experienced countless life and death trials, can barely do this, but whenever he encounters a real big event, except To force yourself to calm down and do one of the most important preparations, that is, to take Sang Sang with you.

Spring has not looked up yet, and Chang'an City is still dark. He took Sang Sang on a horse-drawn carriage and left Suzaku Gate to the academy under the mountain in the southern suburbs.

It was still early in the morning, the morning breeze was still cool, and the quiet surrounding meadows of the college were already full of excitement. The Yulin cavalry in full armor patrolled the surroundings vigilantly. Seats are being arranged nervously. Under the trees in the distance, there are still some men who stop expressionlessly. These men are wearing official uniforms but they can't see which department they belong to, and there is a dangerous smell on their bodies.

Looking at the lively but awe-inspiring scenes around him, Ning Que remembered the college entrance examination a year ago. The security alert level today is not much worse than the day of the admission examination. Suddenly he came to understand that the opening of the second floor was certainly not just a big event in his life, but a big event for the entire Changan City.

And this year, because the Longqing prince from the temple ruling department is about to enter the second floor of the academy, the complicated relationship between the Datang Empire and the Xiling Temple and the Yan Kingdom has become a major event that has attracted worldwide attention.

Because of the high security and bad luck, Sang Sang and his wife failed to enter the academy this time. They only regretted to stay in the meadow outside the stone gate of the academy and wait.

At this time, there was still half a day before the opening of the second floor. Ning Que came deliberately in advance. Naturally, it was not for the purpose of sitting in the grass of the academy like a tourist, he walked into the familiar academy, and then straight down In the back alley, walk through the bamboo forest and walk around the wetland twice. Then I walked to the old book building and said hello to the teaching that I just woke up. I lifted my front and walked upstairs.

I do n’t know whether it ’s because it ’s too early or something else. There is no childish figure of Professor Yu on the side of the east window. Ning Que stunned slightly and walked to the side of the case on the west window. After taking a few deep breaths, he wrote a random word to confirm that his state of mind was clear and quiet, and then he left the pen.

After walking through the wet place, the big jungle immediately opened wide, and the green meadow was silky like a felt under the early morning light, so that the people who saw it could not wait to take off their clothes and hit a dozen rolls on it.

This is a very remote place in the academy. In addition to lack of self in the past six months, very few students will come here. Even people who come will only sit on the edge of the meadow to see the stars and talk about love, instead of strolling into the meadow. Across such a long distance, walked to the middle of the forest like a sword.

Ning Que walked into the tall, steep trees, palms smoothing the smooth, unbranched trunks. "He looked up at the sparse branches at the top of the treetops, frowned slightly, and was silent.

"What did you do today." The professor Lin's voice sounded softly.

"Student Mr. Gu Guo."

Ning Que looked at the gradual approach of the forest, a very conscientious gift, straightened up and thought for a moment, then replied: "I ate a bowl of chicken noodle soup today, served with shredded radish, came to the academy in a carriage, I stood outside Shimen for a while, then went to Bingshe to put down things, walked around the lake for two and a half times, went to the old bookstore to see Mr. Xiu, and wanted to go upstairs to ask you "I wrote a word because you are not here, Came here. "

The female professor walked in front of him, and the face that never saw her age was quiet and serene. She didn't ask Ning Que what she wanted to ask herself, but she smiled calmly and said: "Unfortunately, after doing so many things, you still can't calm down."

Ning nodded in shortcomings, honestly replied: "I know I have no chance, but there are always some lucky ideas, once I have an idea", it is difficult to calm down, I do n’t know if there is anything my husband can teach me? "

"I'm just a mediocre with a hole in mystery." The female professor gently lifted the silk floating in the forehead and said with a smile: "For someone like you who has great ideas, it is really impossible to teach."

Ning Que smiled and scratched her head awkwardly.

"There is no need to demand peace of mind under any circumstances. Although you are also a person who is good at books, after all, juvenile mentality cannot be sitting by the east window like me every day. When you copy the hairpin, you don't know the year.

The female professor looked at him and said softly: "A lot of things in the world are not in your ability to do it, but in whether you dare to think. If you dare not even think about it and are controlled by self-doubt, then you are a weak People. I just need to know how strong or powerful is your idea of ​​entering the second floor? "

Ning Que prepared to say something, but did not expect to hear a word that shocked him.

"If you give up on the second floor today, I can introduce you to a skeleton who is not weaker than Liu Bai as a teacher."

The forest is quiet, Ning Que looks at the calm face of the female professor, and now the other person's tone is so casual and ordinary, as if to say that if you don't want to eat pancake fruit, I will make the bowl for you The sesame noodles have nothing to show off, but they have an unquestionable meaning.

However ... Liu Bai, a swordsman from the Southern Jin Dynasty, is recognized as the strongest person in the world. Want to introduce a strong person who is not weaker than Liu Bai to be a teacher? Where do you find such a person in the world? How do female professors recognize it?

Ning Que was shocked for a long time, unable to speak, and did not know why. He believed in the promise of the female professor very much. However, he also did not know why. When he opened his mouth hard, the "Answer" case was not.

He said sincerely: "I still want to ... try it and see if I can enter the second floor."

A faint smile appeared in the female professor's eyes, and he looked at him and asked, "Why?"

After a moment of silence, Ning Que hesitated and said, "I don't know why, I just feel as if I have been tossing about this matter for so long, and have put so much effort into it. If I don't try it, I am always unwilling."

"That's all?" The female professor looked at his eyes quietly.

Ning Que scratched her head and responded with some embarrassment: "Because I really want to take a look at the second floor."

The female professor looked at the embarrassed expression on his face, and suddenly smiled, Qingli suddenly increased, and she said with a smile: "Thinking is the key, as long as people want to do something, they can often be made into" human thoughts or ambitions ". The most beautiful thing in the world, you can insist on the right choice. "

"Last time I told you, these trees are like swords inserted into the earth. If you can pull these trees out, it is a sword that pierces the sky. The human attachment is the ego, and the ego is in your hands. Sword. "

"It's just a pity." She turned and walked outside Jianlin, leaving a sigh.

Ning Que didn't understand what it meant to express her feelings, but thought a little nervously. Does the female professor mean that although she has good roots and good will, it is a pity that this time it is still impossible to be the opponent of Longqing Prince?

Looking at the delicate back that was about to disappear at the edge of Jianlin, he suddenly asked, "Sir, did you say if I didn't enter the second floor, would it be true to introduce me to the teacher?"

The female professor did not look back and responded calmly: "Nature is true."

Ning Que raised her hand to cover her forehead and asked with a smile: "I regret it now, can't I?"

The female professor answered with a smile: "I gave you a chance."

Ideas, perseverance, ego, ambition, sword.

The female professor's words seemed to be covered with a layer of veil, and she couldn't clearly see the true meaning hidden in it, but Ning Que had vaguely understood the meaning, because the female professor would say this to him, and it was natural to see Since his escape from Changan City at the age of four, Ning Que relied on these spiritual qualities to live and become better and better.

Recalling last night Chen Pipi's expression in the old bookstore was dignified, "Keep your heart", "Do the ultimate", Ning Quexian and the female professor's statement are actually the same in the inside. What is the test method when the second floor is opened, but you can probably guess what the test is.

"This should be what I am good at."

Ning Que clenched his fists gently and walked across the wetland and Jingxiang.

Among the black and white Tsing Mei College buildings, I do n’t know where so many people have come from. Most of the weekdays, the professors and doctors who are studying their own topics, carry a variety of chairs to the outdoor group, hand "Holding hot tea in here" fiercely debated the two-story thing today, and even started to bet.

The students of the academy even came to the group early. Although most of them did not dare to hope that they could enter the second floor, but no one was willing to miss such a moment. The students surrounded the sixth student of the technical department in the center. , Continue to cheer for them, "Xie Chengyun of South Jin is naturally the focus of everyone's attention.

It was almost noon.

Accompanied by melodious rituals, His Royal Highness Prince Li Peiyan and Princess Li Yu, as well as several officials from the court came from under the meadow. "Followed by envoys from various countries, and dozens of clergymen from the Xiling Temple.

Some of the green trees beside the central road in the meadow are already blooming, and they are fresh and dear, especially the peach tree near the main entrance of the academy. Somehow, it is particularly powerful, and it is tender and tender in the spring breeze.

A young man in a dark plain suit walked between the roads. Taohua, who was in full bloom, was lined by his perfect cheeks, but he suddenly lost all the colors. This person is the prince of Yanqing Longqing.

The deputy dean of Xiling Yutianyuan Mo Li all the following priests and the envoys of the various nations stood up collectively, and the debates of the academy were suddenly silent, even those doctors who were accustomed to the two-story opening ceremony looked at the sun. The young prince coming in the shadow room couldn't help but touch and admire.

Ning Que stood in the corner outside the crowd, watching the movements in the field, and no one noticed him. Even after that day, no one would regard him as an ordinary college student, really as the opponent of the Longqing prince.

The professor of the academy came out. He was one of the rune masters who had been repaired in the academy, and his status was extremely distinguished. Seeing the professor appear, no matter whether it is the prince or the big figures in the Xiling Temple, they all stood up and bowed slightly to pay tribute. No one would put a shelf in front of him like the Rune Master, let alone he was in charge of opening the building today.

"The second floor of the Academy opened today and only one person was recruited."

The professor looked blankly at the hundreds of people in the room and said, I do n’t know if it used any spells. The old voice was clearly passed into everyone ’s ears, and it did n’t seem to sound loud.

"The test method is very simple."

The professor pointed his finger at the mountain behind the college and was covered by the fog, and said, "There is a stone trail that goes around the mountain. If anyone wants to enter the second floor of the college, enter the mountain at will. Whoever can climb to the top of the mountain can enter the second floor. If If you ca n’t get there, then the winner will be judged by whoever gets higher. "

Judge the victory by mountaineering to determine who is eligible to enter the second floor of the college? Many students faced with doubts and puzzled expressions, thinking that this would be too absurd, too, but the faces of people like Prince Li Peiyan and the priest Mo Li did not see any expressions. These big figures always returned to understand some previous years. The details of the opening of the second floor, know that the people in the academy like to make this tenon, and of course they will not think that this is a children's play.

Everyone in the field raised their heads and looked at the big mountain behind the college. At this time, the sun had risen to the top of the sky dome. The light was blazing, but I did not know why, but failed to disperse the mist on the mountainside. The appearance of the mountain among them can only faintly see the stone cliff at the top of the mountain at a very high level.

It was n’t until this time that many students of the academy remembered that they did n’t seem to have seen the mountain at all. On the weekdays, although the mountain was rising and dangerous, it was just behind the academy, but because of its silence and its calmness, it became As if it had disappeared, no one would ever specifically observe it.

Dashan is there, and Dashan will always be there. Since it is so, why do you have to visit it specifically?

The road to Houshan is just behind Jing Lane of the Academy ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ is behind a fence not far from the second floor, and people can clearly see the mountain when standing on the stone ping of the Academy The not-so-craggy mountain road at the foot.

There was no one talking.

Time passed by one minute and one second, and no one walked towards the mountain.

"It seems that the little monk had to take a step first."

In a dead silence caused by tension, a person's voice suddenly sounded. To everyone's surprise, it wasn't the students in the academy who were the first to start climbing and advancing to the second floor of the academy, nor the Longqing prince who was regarded by the believers of Quantianping Haotiandao as a god.

The monk was in his twenties, with a clean appearance, wearing a torn but washed monk's robe, and a pair of straw shoes on his feet. The edges of the straw shoes were almost rotting. I can imagine that these shoes passed him by. How many poor mountains and bad waters, thorns everywhere, but if you look carefully, you can see that there is no mud on his feet.

Bai Jing is like a lotus hua. ! ~!
