Nightfall

The people under the big green tree looked at the young man who was giggling at the edge of the boulder and was smirking at the extreme scenery, and they were all drawn with infinite feelings, silent and smiling, and only the second brother was still sitting rigorously, and there was a gray old man. The scholar was holding a roll of old books in his hands. It seemed that everything in his life had nothing to do with him.

The sound of melodious Qingyuan's hole flute sounded, and the man picked up Chang Xiao who was resting on his knees and smiled and blew, followed by the sound of the triumphant tri-stringed piano. A gentle stroke in the wind, the tip of the needle trembles, and a whisper resembles a metal percussion instrument. The strong man lifted the heavy hammer and slammed towards the ground with a bang, which was exactly subtle in the music. The node that needs to be heated.

The sound of the flute, the sound of the instrument, the sound of the needle, the drop of the hammer, and together it became a very old-fashioned melody. Song shook slightly, as if welcoming guests.

Ning Que, who stood above the boulder, listened to the ancient music floating in his ears, looked back under the big green tree, looked at the men and women of different descriptions but all with a gentle smile, and looked at the figure of Chen Pipi under the tree, Knowing that these people are the brothers and sisters on the second floor of the academy, they are expressing their welcome to themselves in this way, and they cannot help feeling warm.

The feeling of warmth quickly became hot between his chest and abdomen, and his eyes were black, and he collapsed like this.

The Prince Longqing stood silently on the lawn under the boulder, as if he had never heard this touching ancient song. The cheeky peachy cheeks were still perfect, but his head did not know when it was gone, and his sweat was wet and messy. .

He raised his head and looked at the bottom of the tree slowly. "Maybe it's a little ridiculous and lacks grace, but I'm really dissatisfied."

I don't know when, Brother Two stood up in that ancient song and came quietly to the lawn. He looked at the expressionless cheeks of the Longqing prince and looked at the two quiet lights in the other person's eyes and said calmly: "If I were you, I would not agree."

After a moment of silence, the Longqing prince said: "If you can't see the choice, then who can see it?"

Brother II looked at him and said with a slight pity in his face: "It is extinct, it means that there is fear in the nature and fear of choice. Although I don't know what you saw and experienced, but I can probably guess that Ning Que is different from you. There is no fear in his temperament, so he does not need to erase his heart as hard as you do, and strive to extinguish love. "

Long Qing stared at his eyes, with a strong sense of puzzling and unwillingness to ask: "Fear is human nature, as long as it is a person, it will be fear, rather than lacking him is a person, how can there be no fear in his temperament?"

Brother II has been silent for a long time, and it seems that this question is indeed somewhat confusing, shaking his head and saying: "Or this is the difference between small fear and big fear, you can overcome the little fear in instinct, but if it involves life and death , The great fear between day and night, that is not so easy. "

Long Qing Wangzi understood this sentence, his eyebrows frowned, and asked, "You mean Ningque has no faith."

Brother II replied: "Maybe so."

The Longqing prince stunned and immediately laughed at himself with sadness. He murmured: "Because my faith is too firm, I lost to a person who absolutely believes in himself and does not have any faith. This is how I can be reconciled."

Brother II said after a moment of silence: "Maybe Ning Que also has faith, but those things are too deep in his heart, so the illusion on the stone path cannot be found, and he may not even know what that faith is."

At this time, Chen Pipi was carrying a comatose Ning Que, panting hard from the giant rock, and every step of the fat on his cheek would tremble slightly, like the ripples in the lake. He and his brothers and sisters under the big green tree all knew that Ning Que was because the impact on the spiritual world today was too great, and the physical consumption was violent. Until the summit was finally reached, the relaxation was too sudden, so he fainted. So I'm not very worried.

Prince Longqing looked at Chen Pipi's back and listened to the sound of whispering under the green tree to call the younger brother to take the water. Suddenly, he remembered the genius figure who taught adults and the woman to use occasional mention. Tao: "Has ... was he?"

Brother II didn't seem to have thought of concealing Chen Pipi's identity at all, and said, "It's him."

The Longqing prince stared at the very busy fat teenager who was called, remembering the remorse or anger when he taught him and the red dress woman when he mentioned him. Suddenly, his experience was not so bleak and unacceptable, he said with a mocking head. A real genius like him is actually called by you on the second floor of the academy. I also thought of being able to enter the building and make it shine. It was really delusional. "

"A true genius is a genius everywhere."

Brother II looked at his slightly white cheeks and said, "Since you know that he is the most talented young man in Guan Guan, then he is also a genius in the back hill of my academy, of course it is still much worse than me. But you should not use it too much Disappointed, in fact, your performance today is already very good. If it were n’t for Ning Que, I would be very happy to meet you in Houshan. ”

After a long silence, Long Qing feasted his head and hit the ground, then turned and walked down the mountain.

The quietness of the front yard of the academy has been replaced by a buzzing voice resembling a flying bee. Although those high-ranking big figures still retain their restraint, ordinary officials and teaching students are really unable to suppress the excitement and curiosity in their hearts. They are anxiously looking forward to knowing who has achieved the final result of climbing on the second floor today. victory.

At this moment, the professor who was in charge of the opening ceremony of the second floor of the academy walked out slowly. The expression on his face was a bit weird, seemed relieved, and a little shocked, and seemed to want to laugh, but it seemed that he did not laugh because of something.

Before today, few people, including the academy, knew the origin of this professor. But today Professor Mr. presided over the ceremony for a whole day. After many inquiries, he finally knew that he was one of the few surviving rune masters. Where did he dare to make it? When he saw him walking up the stone steps, he stopped subconsciously. After the discussion, just looking at the expression on his face, the waves in everyone's heart rose again, and wanted to see some of the reasons from these expressions.

"Huang He'er, where are you rubbing?"

The only professor in the field who dared to use this tone to speak, dared to call his name directly, and even even deliberately brought a word, naturally the Tang Tang Haotian South Gate enshrined the Rune Master Yan Se, regardless of the seniority It ’s still his age. He ’s all Baidu ’s night bar is a bit higher than Professor Huang ’s. At this time, his mood is already anxious. Looking at him clearing his voice there, he has long been impatient.

"The enrollment of the second floor of the Academy today has had results."

Professor Huang He was too lazy to argue with Yan Se, a well-known tired rune master, cleared his throat, and spoke directly.

Suddenly Yan Se thought of a possibility and stood up anxiously, reaching out to stop: "Don't panic!"

Seeing that the big show waiting for one day and one night was about to end, I was finally able to know the true appearance of the actor after taking off the silver mask, but was interrupted again and again by people. The people on the ground in front of the academy were in awe of Yan Se After all, I did n’t endure a boo, and the Fa ca n’t blame the crowd. No matter how powerful your Rune Master is, you ca n’t wipe out hundreds of people in the field.

Professor Huang He glanced at Yan Se without any politeness, thinking he was reminding you as well. At this time, he asked himself not to panic. Why is this a mystery? Shen Shen asked: "Why not panic?"

"How important is the opening of the second floor of the academy. Although the Master's trip to China is not in Beijing, you can't do this in a perfunctory manner. Should you bathe and change clothes and burn incense to sacrifice the sky before you announce the result?"

Yan Semu, Pei Pei rushed up the stone steps, walked to Professor Huang He, and said Yiyi awe-inspiringly.

The boos from the audience suddenly became louder, and even the princes Li Peiyan and Li Yu couldn't help but look at the old man.

Yan Se listened to the drum noises underneath the stage, and even though his face was wrinkled and hard like the old tree, he couldn't help but feel a little burnt, but after all, his hunger for the successor still defeated the shame that he hadn't had much, and stared hard at the stage Shouted: "Who dares to say what I said is wrong, stand up and challenge me!"

Listening to this, the audience suddenly disappeared, whether it was Mo Li, the priest, or those unsatisfied college doctors who had turned their faces, and wanted to single out with you, a trained magician. We are not crazy.

Professor Huang He looked at him displeasedly and said, "Uncle Yan, what exactly do you want to do?"

There are very few teachers in the world, and the rank of the teachers between them and their respective denominations are not involved. That is another simple and complex system, needless to say here. In fact, what Yan Se thought about at this time was very simple. He was just thinking, if the result announced was really the result that he and his younger brother absolutely did not want to hear, and it made everyone in the world listen to it, would n’t it be immediately? Is it a foregone conclusion?

Ignoring the opposition of all the people in the front courtyard of the college. Yan Se dragged Professor Huang He into a bookstore. Those who entered the bookstore with them are big people who are qualified to participate in this matter, or have the power to change the final result.

Mo Li's expression was a bit suspicious. He thought he must have heard something wrong just now, so he cast his eyes on the prince beside him. However, Li Peiyan's expression is also a bit weird. He feels that he may have heard it incorrectly. It may only be that Professor Huang He read it wrong when he announced the result. In order to prove his conjecture, he looked to his niece.

There is no expression on Li Yuqingxiu ’s face, because although she has guessed countless times, and even counted on this result in countless times during today ’s long mountaineering time, but when this result really appeared, she still strongly shocked her Her spiritual world made her hard to recover in a while.

Mo Li's eyes slowly brushed on the faces of several big men. The responses he received were the ones he didn't want to see the most. He slowly stood up and looked at Professor Huang He with some confusion, wondering: "You said you have climbed to the top of the mountain ... rather lacking?"

Professor Huang He sighed and said, "It is indeed Ning Que."

Mo Li was standing rigidly beside the chair, unable to say a word for a long time.

As the deputy dean of the Temple of the Tomb of the Xiling Temple, he led the mission to visit Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty. The main purpose is to fulfill the secret agreement between the two countries and send the Longqing prince to the second floor of the academy. floor.

Regarding the academy, Mo Li, the priest, did not have the slightest favor. In his view, there is no need to go to the second floor of the academy to study, such as Prince Longqing, but since this is the arrangement of the temple, and the whole world now knows the Prince To enter the second floor of the academy and agree to allow the prince to enter the second floor of the academy, then he must go in, because this represents the glory and dignity of the Xiling Temple. But who would have thought that after such a long wait, it was someone else who finally entered the second floor!

Thinking that if this matter is passed back to Xiling, he may be punished under the anger of the teaching. Thinking of the entire world of hundreds of millions of Taoists, Mo Li might feel shaken by the reverence of the temple for this matter. The feet were washed with ice water, and there was a biting chill from the inside out, muttered and said, "Impossible, impossible."

Suddenly he stared at Professor Huang He and waved angrily to protest: "How could an ordinary college student defeat the Longqing prince! The prince is only one step away from entering the fate, and that student is something! The academy must have done things!"

In fact, if the people outside the bookstore who are still waiting for the result know this result, they will probably have the same view as the official Mo Li. The competition with the prince Longqing today is not the invincible king Jingluo who is under the fate, but a Borrowing the nameless ordinary college student who nobody knew beforehand that he could practice, can such a person defeat the Longqing prince?

Can the vole defeat the goshawk? Can ants overcome the lions? Can the embroidered lady defeat General Xiahou? No, these are impossible things, just as Ning Que cannot defeat the Longqing prince, unless God let the goshawk fold its wings and cut off its beak, unless God let the male lion turn into a pile of carrion ahead of time, unless the queen mother Match the embroidered lady Xu to General Xiahou as his wife!

Ning Que could defeat the Longqing prince, unless the college secretly cheated.

At the same time, the big figures in the bookstore turned their attention to Professor Huang He.

Professor Huang He forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and explained slowly with a blank expression: "According to the facts I know, the Longqing Prince did indeed perform very well in mountaineering. If placed in previous years, he can definitely easily enter the second floor of the academy. Lou, just this year you and I know that the second floor only recruits one person, and Ning Que's performance in mountaineering is indeed better than the prince.

Mo Li, an official, sat back in his chair, and suddenly saw Prince Li Peiyan beside him, as if grabbing the last life-saving straw, and said, "His Royal Highness, according to the previous agreement, the prince succeeded Prince Yan into Chang'an City and was going to the second floor. Yes, if not for the Confucius as a student, how can my Xiling Temple let the prince leave the adjudication division? If the college finds a reason not to accept it, then ... "

Li Peiyan frowned slightly and felt very embarrassed. The Datang Banquet room always respected the Academy and never intervened arbitrarily. It was only that the Longqing prince entered Changan City as the No. 2 character of the Xiling Temple Ruling Division. The two sides did reach a secret. Agreement, His Majesty the Emperor also said that this agreement will indeed be very troublesome.

Regardless of whether it was the Xiling Temple or the royal family of the Datang Empire, no one could think that someone could defeat the Longqing prince and enter the second floor of the academy first, but no relevant preplan was made at all.

Li Peiyan looked at Professor Huang He and hesitated for a moment, then said, "I think this matter should be considered long-term ..."

Professor Huang He was expressionless.

Li Peiyan looked to Yan Se and Grandpa Lin who had been sitting silently in the corner, thinking that His Majesty and the South Gate would let the two of you come over and wait to see the results. Naturally, they had the responsibility of monitoring. By this time, you always have to express your opinions. , Choose a stand.

Grandpa Lin felt the eyes cast by His Royal Highness, and stood up and smiled and said to everyone: "Your Majesty let me come to the Academy to pick up people. It has nothing to do with what the adults are talking about. I naturally cannot speak for the palace."

"I express my opinion, I firmly oppose Ning Que's entry into the second floor."

Yan Se blew his beard and glared: "I can know with my ass, how can that guy be better than the Longqing prince? How could he reach the top of the mountain earlier than the Longqing prince? There must be something wrong with the college ..."

Professor Huang He's face fell, and he looked at him and said: Uncle Yan, you and I know each other well, but we still need evidence. "

Yan Se stared at him and said, "Is there evidence in the academy that he did not cheat?"

Huang He listened to his rather unreasonable words and said angrily: "Uncle Master, are you going to start fooling again?"

"What if I just play?" Yan Se teased the wretched triangle, shouting, "Anyway, Master is not in Chang'an City."

Since the Confucius was not in Chang'an City or the Academy, he had no fear of being a worshiper at the south gate of Haotian. As a saint and lofty saint, he was able to highlight this matter without hesitation. Bright and upright.

The big figures in the bookstore looked at Yan Se and expressed their dissatisfaction with enthusiasm. They thought of the previous statements on Shiping, and could not help thinking about what happened to Haotian South Gate today? Actually support the Xiling Temple so much?

Officer Mo Li looked at Yan Se ’s back and felt strange. He thought that when he returned to the temple last year, he humiliated the dean of Tianyuan Academy, and even had a quarrel with the great officer. Why is it so today, is it you Was the thought of cherishing talent for the Longqing prince?

Xicai is indeed Xicai, but the Mo Li priest failed to guess who Yan Se was desperately against.

Professor Huang He looked at Yan Se coldly and said, "Although your uncle has a respectable status and high rank, this is after all the matter of the academy, so it is useless for you to pull your neck against it."

Yan Sefu said angrily: "The academy is the world's academy, and everyone in the world has reasons to raise doubts and opinions. The academy is the academy of the Tang Dynasty. As a Tang Dynasty, I am more qualified to express opposition to you and say that it is useless, but I still have to object. , Ning Que is unable to enter the second floor! "

I don't know when, Li Yu walked out of the book quietly and came to the front of the college.

A princess official stood behind her, and it was completely difficult to hide the shock on his face. He learned the final result of today ’s mountaineering from His Royal Highness. He could n’t help but remember that last year he suggested that His Royal Highness Ning lacked this person and had no future. Can't help but regret.

"After tonight, countless people will go to check the details of Ning Que, and he will definitely find out that he escorted His Highness back to Beijing last year. In any case, Ning Que, after all, is relatively close to our side. His Highness should not come out before, and he should make sure that he enters Two floors. "

Li Yuwei laughed and said, "The big guys inside are older than I am, and I have more knowledge than I do, but I have forgotten some of the most important things. That's why the Confucius chose him as a student. Since they have been arguing for so long, it doesn't make any sense, unless the Confucius changes his mind after returning home. "

She looked up at the high mountain behind the academy, thinking about the excitement and joy that the teenager at the top of the mountain should be at this time, and also remembered the return home that was full of killings last spring, and remembered the past when she recruited the other party but was rejected. Can't help but reveal a few colors of confusion, and murmured: "At that time, I thought I had valued you enough, and the price of sincerity was enough. Now it seems that I still know that those are still not enough, and I understand why you I would refuse me at first. "

The official looked at the look on His Highness's face ... Guessing what was happening to her, and whispered with relief: "His Royal Highness treated his little maid very kindly, and heard that he had a very affectionate relationship with the little maid, so he always wanted to miss His Highness Kind of kindness. "

"This is two different things." Li Yu shook his head slowly, frowned after a moment of silence. "Of course, it can be the same thing now."

People in the front yard of the academy had their ears upright, wanting to hear what the big men in the room were talking about, who wanted to know who was the first to reach the top of the mountain, and who finally entered the second floor of the academy.

Many people noticed that Her Royal Highness left the room very early and stood quietly not far away with her subordinates. People quietly watched the expression on her face, trying to guess the truth from her eyebrows.

People like Situ Yilan who have close relationship with His Highness do not need to observe Yan Yan from a very far distance. She walked directly to Li Yu, with a nervous expression after her respectful salute and asked with a trembling voice: " Your Highness, who won? "

Li Yu looked at the direction of the bookstore and listened to the fierce disputes looming inside. Suddenly, he narrowed his eyebrows slightly, and showed a rather elusive smile on his face. He decided to cut the mess quickly and settle this matter in advance.

"He won."

It ’s just three simple words that did n’t mention the winner ’s name, but Situ Yilan, of course, understood Li Yu ’s intention and raised his hand to cover his mouth in disbelief, blocking the exclamation back. , Shiny eyes full of shock and joy.

After all, the exclamation could not be covered by the palm of the hand. The girl's pleasant cheer broke the tranquility of the academy at night. She jumped up excitedly and ran to the crowd with a smile, holding the female partner's hand and shaking desperately.

At this time, there is no need to say anything to Situ Ylang, everyone knows the final result, and there is silence and silence on Shiping.

Zhong Dajun's face was blue and he murmured and said: How ... how ... how could it be him? "

Xie Chengyun's body swayed slightly, gently letting Jin Wucai beside him open, standing straight and looking pale to Situ Yilan, his voice said dumbly: "You always knew he was hiding strength, so you Have been waiting to see our jokes. "

Since the summer exam, Ning Que was marginalized by the college students. Only Situ Yilan and Yu Youxian treated him as he was. The trough was a ridiculous rich family, and he was not the same person as the college students. Situ Yilan was born in the world of noblemen, Xie Chengyun and other talents, but he was always a big fan of Ning Que. Xie Chengyun and the academy students are more than you can say today. When you think back to the scene of the day, it is natural to think that Situ Yilan knows some secret of Ning Que.

Situ Yilan looked at the pale-faced Xie Chengyun and shocked the wood-like college students and sneered: "I don't know what strength Ning Que hides, I only know that if it wasn't for the past six months, you have been watching him Joke, then today, you will not become the biggest joke in the world. "

In the eyes of the college students in the past, Ning Que was a bad-tempered guy, and it was the biggest joke in the academy this year. However, watching him climb the mountain today, the students were extremely humiliated, and the sarcasm of Stuart Ylang was like that. They are the biggest joke in the world.

With a snapping sound, the last piece of cake left by Chu Youxian fell on the floor. He stared blankly at the high mountain behind the academy, thinking ecstatically in his heart that he actually knew such a great guy, this If you want your father to know, dare you say that all the friends I met in the academy are fox friends? Daddy, you are wrong this time!

On Shiping, the birds were silent, and all the lives fell into deep shame. Even some people quietly lowered their proudly raised heads, and some people became a little numb and stunned by this mental shock.

Just then, an angry binge rang from the bookstore and exploded above Shiping.

"Ning Quexiu is so poor, how can he be allowed to enter the second floor!"

Zhong Dajun reluctantly recovered from the violent mental shock, listening to the violent drink, as if grabbing the last sharp knife, raising his eyebrows and trembling and quickly said: "You listen, you listen, that is Master Yan Se Speaking ... He said that Ning Quexi was poor and could not enter the second floor, Master Yan Se, but Master Yan Se, I heard that he was the legendary Rune Master, or the brother of my Datang Kingdom Master, even his old man Think so, who would be sure that Ningque will be able to enter the second floor? "

He turned his head, staring at Situ Ylang with a godless eye, and said, "Did you hear? The thing is not what you think."

In the bookstore, Yan Se's face roared with iron and said: "I see it, this is the token of my southern gate of Haotian. What I said today represents the attitude of the southern gate of Haotian. I think whether it is the Xiling Temple or His Majesty the Emperor, Do you have to respect it? "

Professor Huang He looked at him like he was an idiot. After a long silence, he frowned and asked. Uncle Shi, what do you want to do at the Academy today? Can you put forward your request directly, and then we can see if we can discuss it? "

"Yeah ..." Yan Se's expression changed suddenly, and he smiled and pointed at Huang He. "This is what you said. If you don't discuss a satisfactory result for a while, I'm not satisfied."

Professor Huang He looked at this Rune Master, probably the most senior in Chang'an City, crying without tears. He spread his hands and said, "You speak first."

Yan Se coughed twice and said:. Speaking of realm cultivation, Ning Que is too far behind the Longqing prince, but when it comes to some side-door skills, I think he still has some training potential, so I think he is not suitable for entering the second floor of the academy, more suitable for being my apprentice . "

What he said has been as plain as possible, and his expression is as natural as possible. However, this sentence still made the big figures in the bookstore suddenly change color. Professor Huang He stepped forward with his eyes glaring, and Mo Li stood up in surprise.

"You mean ... Ning Que has the potential to become a Rune Master?" Professor Huang He asked, staring at him.

Yan Se looked at his expression and regretted it in his heart. He secretly said that he had endured for so long. Why did he not hold back at this critical moment, he decided to break the jar and fell, and said coldly: "How is it? He was my first choice. "

In this world, the successor of the Runemaster ... is as rare and rare as the legendary Phoenix Feather. It is too important for the Runemaster or the sect he belongs to. At this time, I heard Yan Se confirming this matter, and the big men in the room could no longer keep calm. Mo Li, the priest, grabbed the first few steps, staring at Yan Se in angrily and said, "Uncle Shi! Now that there is potential to become a magician Candidates, you should notify the temple immediately! "

"Nonsense, let me tell you first, is there any porridge rice I drank?" Yan Se said with a staring eye.

Now it is Professor Huang He ’s turn to smile, and he looked at Yan Se and said gratefully, "Uncle Master, do you think our academy knows about this matter, and will Ning Que let it go?"

Yan Se suddenly changed color, pointing at Huang He and roaring angrily, "Well, you are a shameless villain! If it wasn't for you to talk about before, why should I tell you this matter!"

"Negotiating is naturally a matter of consultation. If all the consultations have a pre-existing result, why do you have to discuss."

Professor Huang He said triumphantly that he wanted to win a new gatekeeper on the second floor of the Academy today, and may even have another Rune Master in the future.

Yan Se said angrily: "You are shameless!"

Huang He smiled and said, "Learn from Uncle Shi."

Yan Sesu was furious and shouted loudly: "I have been searching for such a good material for Ning Se for half of my life. Whoever dares to rob me of this disciple will be at odds with him. He's frustrated! "

Huang He's body trembling slightly ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ laughed :. Uncle Shi's words are very hot and cruel. If the nephew is not the whole academy behind him, maybe he will be really scared. "

"I've waited half my life ... Ning Que ... Liang Chi ... Tuer ... I can't stand apart ... Broken bone ... I'm ashamed."

The words of the Rune Master Yanse's rage, like thunder, came out of the bookstore and exploded on the Shiping of the Academy.

The smile that Zhong Dajun just squeezed out ... The boat suddenly appeared on the face, and it looked extremely funny.

If the fact that Ning Que succeeded in reaching the summit and entered the second floor of the academy was the first thunder that struck the minds of all the academy students, then at this time a respected magician shouted so violently that he would accept Ning Que as a disciple , Meaning that Ning Que may become a Rune Master in the future, which is like the second melancholy thunder hitting everyone.

After the thunder, the students of the academy were shocked by electric shocks, and they stood on the top of Shi Ping, without knowing how to speak.

Chu Youxian looked at Zhong Dajun, who was pale, and sighed sympathetically: "If I were you, I would go to the stove and pick up the sour and tofu overnight, so I would n’t waste fresh tofu, and the taste would be the same as your sour mouth. The words are very speculative. " ~!
