Wutong suddenly chuckled. Her bright red dress and charming appearance made the solemn atmosphere dissipate a lot.
Su Yun tilted his head and smiled, "It is the most rare beauty to see a smile that can captivate a city, a country and people. Senior Xiaoyao, don't be nervous, Uncle Jiao is our neighbor. Uncle Jiao, this is Chi Xiaoyao, we live in the uninhabited area of Huilong River."
Jiao Shuao's body squirmed, and he turned into a stern-looking man in black. He bowed and said, "I'm sorry for the offense."
Chilong Chi Xiaoyao also retracted her Chilong form and transformed into a girl in white. She said timidly, "I dare not. Although we are neighbors, we live quite far away and have never walked together, so I am a little nervous."
Su Yun stood up and asked her to return to her seat.
Jiao Shuao sat on the other side.
The four of them each had their own concerns.
The sedan chair unknowingly arrived at the mountain gate of Wenchang Academy. It was the first time for Su Yun to enter the academy through the mountain gate. The last time he came, he took the sedan chair and entered the academy at night on the Cloud Bridge, and did not go through the mountain gate. This time he did not go through the Cloud Bridge, but walked on the ground street, so he had to go through the mountain gate.
The carriage stopped outside the mountain gate, and the four people got off one after another. At this moment, a gentle voice came: "Scholar Su Yun is well."
Su Yun turned around and saw Young Master Bai Yuelou and Uncle Zhou getting out of a car. Uncle Zhou's eyes fell on Su Yun and his face turned cold.
Su Yun walked forward and asked, "Sir, did you not come by ox cart this time?"
Saint Prince Bai Yuelou said ashamedly: "After the last lesson, I realized that I was wrong, so I dare not come here by ox cart again."
Su Yun said with interest, "What's wrong with Saint Prince?"
Saint Prince Bai Yuelou said: "Be cautious about being arrogant and impatient, be careful about what you say and do, and examine yourself three times a day..."
"Wrong."
Su Yun stood in front of him, his eyes fell on Zhou Bo behind him, and said: "I don't care how many mistakes you make in front of others, but you must do one thing in front of me: take good care of your old dog. If your old dog provokes me, I will beat you. If the old dog provokes me again, I will beat you to death. After all..."
He said coldly: "The atmosphere in our academy is not good. I want to beat you to death anytime and anywhere."
Saint Prince Bai Yuelou smiled, his eyes rolling around, and he laughed softly, "You are stronger than me in realm, but I am also about to cultivate to the Soul Condensation Realm. By then, I will practice the Saint's skills and the Shuofang official school. It is still unknown which one is higher."
He smiled and said, "I will repay you for all the humiliation you have inflicted on me."
"So, isn't it nice to be a real person? Why be a hypocrite?"
Su Yun laughed, looked around, and asked in confusion: "Why are there so many people in front of the academy today?"
Chi Xiaoyao looked around and said in surprise: "Today is the day to register for the exam. There haven't been so many people in the past!"
The front of the mountain gate of the academy was already full of carriages and the people getting off the carriages were all scholars who had taken part in yesterday's examination. All of them were actually here to apply for the Wenchang Academy!
Su Yun asked around and found out that registration for school selection would be held on the second day of the exam. In the past, the exam would last for two days, but something unexpected happened yesterday and the exam was finished on the first day, so the candidates went to their favorite academies to register.
Su Yun looked around and saw Hua Hu, Qing Qiu Yue and others were with Li Zhu Xian and others. Li Muge was also beside them. She must have come to register with her sister. He was relieved and walked forward.
Li Muge was talking to Li Zhuxian and whispered, "Dad doesn't know you've applied for the Wenchang Academy yet. If he knew, he'd beat me to death!"
Li Zhuxian nodded repeatedly and chuckled, "Dad must have thought that you bewitched me and made me take the entrance exam for Wenchang Academy, so he won't hit me, he will only hit you."
"When you apply for the Wenchang Academy, it's not that black smoke is coming out of your ancestral tomb, but that there's a black cloud floating above it, with smoke trailing below."
Li Muge said worriedly, "The ancestor will probably jump out of the coffin. I don't know if Dad can suppress him this time. Most likely he can't..."
Li Zhuxian shook her two ponytails and chuckled, "It's not that it's probably impossible to suppress it, it's definitely impossible to suppress it. How powerful is the ancestor... Senior Brother Su Yun is here!"
She was so excited that she waved at Su Yun repeatedly.
Li Muge stood beside her and whispered, "Junior Brother Su Yun is definitely a bull demon, or a hippopotamus. A demon's tail is not easy to transform into a human body part, so it is difficult to change. Just touch his butt and you will know whether he is a demon or not..."
Li Zhuxian's eyes sparkled, and he said excitedly: "Brother, he's here! I'll go touch his butt!"
Li Muge was startled and quickly grabbed her: "Men and women should not touch each other in public!"
"When there's no one around, you can kiss each other."
Li Zhuxian laughed softly, "I'll touch him when there's no one around!"
Li Muge was so upset that he gave her a scolding. Then Su Yun came over and the brother and sister changed the subject.
Several little foxes came forward. Su Yun bent down and held the little ones in his hands, asking them about them in detail. It turned out that last night was too chaotic. Li Zhuxian was worried that Wenchang Academy was too far away, so she went to Li's house and stayed overnight.
“The Li family’s house is so big!”
Li Xiaofan gestured with difficulty: "This big!"
Hua Hu whispered, "The Li family's house is on the top floor, three or four hundred feet above the ground. It has a dome with colored glaze, and all around it are colored glazes of various colors, some transparent and some opaque. It can adjust the temperature, making it spring-like all year round. Standing there, you can see the entire city."
Qingqiu Yue whispered, "Under the dome are palaces and pavilions, as well as rockeries, hot springs, gardens, bridges, and lakes. You have to ride a beast chariot to eat inside."
Hu Buping murmured: "If I marry Zhu Xian, I won't have to struggle anymore..."
Li Xiaofan felt the same way and nodded repeatedly. The two little foxes' heads were filled with unrealistic fantasies.
Su Yun did not expect that the Li family's fortune was so huge, but Li Muge was really poor and earned every penny by himself. Only the clothes he wore were extremely gorgeous.
Su Yun asked Hua Hu for some money. Before they came to Shuofang City, Su Yun had deposited about twenty Qinghong coins on each person as a backup.
He handed the money to Chi Xiaoyao, who was shocked to see that it was a Qinghong coin and said quickly, "This is a lot of money, I can't make the change!"
Su Yun turned to look at Hua Hu, who whispered, "We don't have any small change left. We only have Qinghong coins."
Su Yun smiled and said, "Senior sister, you shot and killed a scholar from Shuofang Academy with one arrow last night and saved my life, but I haven't thanked you yet."
Chi Xiaoyao glanced at him and said with a smile: "I don't charge for saving people. How about this, I'll treat you to a meal."
Qingqiu Yue leaned over, eyes sparkling: "And me! Take me with you to eat!"
Hu Buping and Li Xiaofan also squeezed over: "And us!"
The flower fox also wanted to squeeze in, but because he was a few years older, he felt a little reserved, so he had to rub his body against the three little guys to show his presence.
—If you are inviting someone to dinner, it’s best to bring yourself along.
Applying for the exam was very simple, you just had to register at the mountain gate, and then you had to go back and wait for news on whether you were admitted. In the past, no one was willing to take the exam for Wenchang Academy, but anyone with a good grade could get in as long as they registered.
But this year is a little different. The number of scholars applying for Wenchang Academy is six or seven times more than last year. It is hard to say whether you can be admitted to Wenchang Academy!
"If I fail the entrance exam to Wenchang, I will have to take the exam to Jiuyuan or Shuofang."
Some scholars whispered, "Last year, Shuofang Academy was ranked first, but this year it is said to be ranked third, overshadowed by Wenchang and Moxia."
"I heard that Moxia is also very good. Seventeen of the top twenty scholars took the exam for Moxia Academy. Therefore, Moxia is recognized as the number one this year!"
…
Monk Tu Ming watched this scene with a smile, and said to Zuo Songyan: "The Minister of State has been trying to build up the University Palace for more than 20 years, but he has been unable to do so. I didn't expect that this time it would be successful. The power of Su Yunshang is really great!"
Zuo Songyan nodded and stroked his beard with great satisfaction: "That's because I have a good eye. Of course, this kid has some power as well."
Monk Tu Ming smiled and clasped his hands together: "That's absolutely right."
"You have a good eye. You found a treasure for my Wenchang Academy. I will increase your monthly salary!"
Zuo Songyan laughed loudly, his eyes moved away from Su Yun and fell on Wutong Scholar, then looked at Saint Prince Baiyuelou, and said: "Although there are all kinds of lunatics, hypocrites, and human demons who kill without blinking an eye in our school, our school is still a good school. Keep the human demons and hypocrites, don't get rid of them, they are of great use to me."
Monk Tu Ming's eyes flickered, and he smiled and said, "I understand."
Su Yun and others completed the registration. They were admitted directly, so each of them received a jade plate symbolizing their status as scholars of Wenchang Academy.
This jade tablet is also a spiritual tool, but its function is different from that of the jade tablet of Tiandaoyuan. When qi and blood flow into it, the effect of the jade tablet is stimulated, and then you can see volumes of books appear in your spiritual world, floating in front of your soul.
These books are classified into various categories, with words like "Study of Things", "Pharmacology", "Qin", "Anatomy", "Confucianism", "Buddhism", "Architecture", etc., and there are many types of books.
Su Yun tried to let his spirit wave his hands, and he saw the pharmacology book flipping. When his palm stopped, the pages of the book stopped too. When his palm flipped forward, the book flipped forward too, and when he flipped backward, the book flipped backward too.
Su Yun raised his hand, and saw the words in the book flying out of the book and listed in the air in front of him.
There are also patterns in the books. The ones in the pharmacology books are flowers, plants and trees. They can also fly out of the books, float in the air, and can even be observed from different angles.
As for the Gewu Shu, it is even more magical. The book even depicts various mythical beasts and statues. You can pick these mythical beasts and statues out of the book and place them in the air for observation.
During class, the teacher in the hall explains on the stage, and the scholars below can read the lecture books and learn the content, which is more convenient and easier.
Of course, compared with the Tiandao Token, the token of Wenchang Academy is still a little inferior.
Tiandaoling is a gateway to Tiandaoyuan, while Wenchangling is equivalent to a small library.
“It’s great to be able to go to school.”
Su Yun felt a little sad. How could he see these things when he was studying in the countryside? Now, he could finally touch these things.
"It would be better if the Wenchang Order was bigger so that it could hold more books."
His mind was slightly moved: "I wonder if there is a place in Tiandao Academy where books are collected? If there is, then I can go directly to Tiandao Academy to study, without having to study the lessons of Wenchang Academy."
At this time, Monk Tu Ming came over and asked, "Mr. Su, do you want to live on campus?"
Li Muge hurriedly waved at Su Yun, signaling him not to agree.
Monk Tu Ming glanced at him and said with a smile: "Mu Ge, have you rented a house? If not, why not live on campus."
Li Muge's face turned pale. He quickly pulled Li Zhuxian and turned away.
Li Zhuxian was puzzled and asked, "Brother, why don't you live in school?"
Li Muge whispered: "It's dangerous in the academy. If you're not careful, you'll die!"
Monk Tu Ming sighed and said, "You are such an unlucky guy. Xiaoyao, do you want to live on campus? There is a good house available in the academy."
Chi Xiaoyao shuddered, turned around and left.
Su Yun felt a little nervous and was about to refuse, but Monk Tu Ming said with a smile: "If Mr. Su lives off campus, it will be inconvenient for the academy to take care of him."
Su Yun had no choice but to agree and said, "Thank you, Master. When will we live on campus?"
Monk Tu Ming raised his hand, and a beast chariot came running over, stopped in front of them, and said with a smile: "Now."
Su Yun boarded the beast sedan, and Hua Hu, Qing Qiu Yue and others also got on.
Monk Tu Ming smiled and said, "Master Su, let's go to the second floor to talk."
Su Yun and others followed him to the second floor, where they saw the beast chariot moving towards the academy.
Monk Tu Ming looked mysterious and asked sideways, "The Minister of State Affairs asked me to ask the envoy, will the envoy take action tonight?"
Su Yun gritted his teeth and said, "Action!"
"Is it a major case?"
Monk Tu Ming was extremely excited, rubbing his hands and saying: "If you need my help, please let me know! I will kill people and set fire to them without hesitation!"
Su Yun couldn't help but wonder: "Is Master Tu Ming really a monk? He is more excited than me when I, a fake eunuch, investigate a case. And shouldn't he be willing to go through fire and water?"
