"The water is beautiful, the mountains are beautiful, the eyebrows are long, and I lean against the small pavilion window when I return. The spring breeze does not understand the rain in the south of the Yangtze River, and I look at the rain alley with a smile and look for guests to taste."
Five days have passed since Su Baiyi left Xinghua Village. Now their carriage finally entered Qiantang City and entered the mountains known as the most prosperous trees in the south of the Yangtze River - Shili Langjuan. Su Baiyi opened the curtain of the carriage to see
Looking at the scenery outside the window, I couldn't help but recite this poem that Master often recited when he was drunk.
"I heard that Jiangnan is a wine town, and passers-by feel heartbroken on the road. Who knows that Jiangnan is not drunk, and the spring breeze is full of fragrance." The short and sturdy man holding the reins and driving the cart also smiled and accepted.
"Hey, you also know this poem, Li Kui." Su Baiyi teased. After these five days of getting along, Su Baiyi had become very familiar with the academy driver named Li Kui.
He may seem cold and serious, but after getting along with him for a long time, you find that he is kind-hearted and warm-hearted. His apparent coldness is just because he has a dull personality and it is difficult to communicate with others.
But Su Baiyi was the best at communicating with others. Even if there was a piece of wood in front of him, he could chat for three days and three nights. But even so, Li Kui still felt that Su Baiyi was bragging when he said that his master was Xie Kanhua.
Li Kui picked up the water bottle on his waist and took a sip of water: "As a coachman, although it is a menial job, you don't need to know any poetry. But I am different. I am a coachman in Shili Langyan Academy. Here are
Three hundred Confucian scholars, nine gentlemen, and Mr. Confucian sage, we cannot lose their face. Here we are."
Li Kui's carriage stopped, and Su Baiyi opened the curtain of the carriage and walked out. He saw an elegant academy standing among the mountains and forests not far away. There were clouds and mist, and birds were flying through it, making it look unreal and ethereal.
, Su Baiyi rubbed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he found that there was no change.
The mountains here are not high, so how can there be clouds and mist? And why does this college seem so close and so far away at the same time?
"Did you see it?" Li Kui asked.
"There's something strange." Su Baiyi murmured.
"This is a formation set up by the gentlemen of the school. It is said to be 'far away in the sky, close in front of you'. If an ordinary person enters this formation, he will not be able to get out for three days and three nights. Close your eyes." Li Kui grabbed Su
White sleeves.
Su Baiyi naturally understood that there must be some mystery behind the fact that the academy has been independent from the world for so many years, so he immediately closed his eyes obediently. Then he felt that the world was spinning, and the steps under his feet felt like he had not moved a step, but vaguely
He could feel that the scenery in front of him began to change rapidly. After about half a stick of incense had passed, Li Kui said lightly: "We're here."
Su Baiyi opened his eyes and saw many academy disciples in white uniforms hurriedly passing by holding books. He quickly turned his head and found that the academy door was closed behind him. He was startled: "We
Already in?"
Li Kui ignored him and led him straight forward: "Now that the Confucian saint is traveling, the gentleman Zhou Zheng is in charge of the academy. I will take you to the other courtyard where my disciples teach Taoism. I have met him first.
Say it again."
"Li Kui, how did you do that just now?" Su Baiyi was still thinking about the wonderful experience just now, "I feel like I didn't even move my feet. How come I'm in this academy as soon as I open my eyes?"
"The Academy has its own mysteries. It is the place where the world's romance, knowledge, and moral character are gathered together. It is called by the world "the palace is here, and the mountains are high". It is the place that all the scholars in the world yearn for most. If it is placed in front of the scholars
There are two choices: one is to take the imperial examination and become an official in the imperial city; the other is to enter the school and be ranked as a gentleman. So you will most likely choose the latter. Being an official in the court is temporary wealth, but being a gentleman is enough to spread the world.
Glory from generation to generation..." Li Kui said proudly.
Su Baiyi waved his hand and interrupted: "Li Kui, you just memorized it by force..."
Li Kui blushed a little: "I am indeed proud of being a member of the academy, but I don't know how to show off my pride to others, so I asked the girl to write this paragraph for me..."
Su Baiyi followed Li Kui into a separate courtyard. Li Kui looked around and found no teacher in the courtyard, so he asked Su Baiyi to go in first and sit down while he went to look for the gentleman Zhou Zheng to come over. After Li Kui left
, Su Baiyi looked around the courtyard and saw a group of academy disciples gathering together to discuss something. But unlike the academy disciples he had just seen, there seemed to be four words written on the backs of these people...
…
Su Baiyi read out word by word: "Wu, evil, don't, do."
The man in front heard the voice behind him and turned around immediately. The man was extremely tall, more than half a head taller than Su Baiyi. He was wearing a loose white robe, his eyes were drooped, and he looked listless.
Playing with the toothpick in his mouth, he looked down at Su Baiyi: "New here?"
"My wife, Su Baiyi, came from Xinghua Village." Su Baiyi glanced at the man and felt that he had seen him somewhere.
"Xinghua Village?" The tall man frowned and turned around and said, "I've never heard of it, but have I seen you?"
The students who were standing sparsely around the courtyard gathered around and stood behind the tall man. They were all wearing the same white robes as the tall man at the head. They were loose and did not look like school scholars at all. One of them took out a
He picked up the bamboo sword tied to his waist, pointed at the sword on Su Baiyi's waist, and said quietly: "Boss, this guy hasn't unloaded his iron yet."
"How courageous are you? Has no one ever taught you the rules?" The tall man stretched out a finger and plucked his ears, "What's your name?"
"Su Baiyi." Su Baiyi frowned, and he suddenly remembered who this tall man was. This was Xuegong Feng Zuojun who appeared in Yelan City to fight against the four guards of the four families that day!
"I must have seen you." Feng Zuojun said seriously, "Turn around!"
Su Baiyi smiled dryly: "What do you want to do?"
Feng Zuojun suddenly jumped up and jumped behind Su Baiyi. Looking at Su Baiyi's back, he suddenly realized and said loudly: "I remember, you were the one who kidnapped Qingyi Lang from us that day! I remember your
Back view! How dare you come to the academy!"
Su Baiyi stepped back: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding."
"My first errand as the leader of the extremely evil gang came down the mountain. I was originally going to show off in front of Xie San, but I was ruined by you. Senior sister told me not to cause trouble and drove me back to the academy.
, I didn’t expect you to deliver it to your door yourself. It’s very good, very good.”
"What? The Extremely Evil Gang." Su Baiyi was very nervous at first, but this time he couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Suwen Academy is the best in the world in knowledge, and it's too bad to get this name."
Feng Zuojun was stunned at first, and then became furious: "Boy, you said that the name of our extremely evil gang is unpleasant!"
"This young master speaks frankly and directly." A voice with a hint of smile suddenly sounded.
The tall man's group all drew out their bamboo swords and looked through Su Baiyi in the direction of the door. Su Baiyi turned around curiously and saw a group of men in school uniforms walking towards the door of the courtyard.
The group of people just now had a different look. They were all neatly dressed, but their school uniforms were blood red with a few white cherry blossoms painted on them. The leader had a stern face and cold eyes as he looked at the tall man.
He glanced at Su Baiyi again and said nothing.
"Master Feng, the extremely evil way is not the extremely vicious way, nor is it just picking up a bamboo sword every day and hitting people." Next to the leading man, a fair young man waving a folding fan said with a smile, and the voice sounded exactly like that.
The person who just spoke.
"Lan Yuze, what qualifications do you have to talk to me?" Feng Zuojun put the bamboo sword on his shoulder, as if he was ready to take action at any time.
Su Baiyi carefully looked at the folding fan in Lan Yuze's hand and found that there were four words written on it. He frowned and said, "Is this the next offense?"
"The following is my fault." Lan Yuze folded the folding fan and asked, "Sir, are you interested in joining our Blood Sakura Sect?"
