Chapter 50 "First Examination for Admission, Life Like Summer Flowers"

A deity makes a mountain, not its altitude.A square towering mountain like a stele pierces through the clouds and stands on the plain east of Baiyujing.

This mountain is Taichu Mountain. There are no immortals, but its reputation has spread throughout the entire continent, and spread all over the world.Just because there is a Taoist temple in this mountain.The only Taoist temple in ancient times, a Taoist temple that teaches without distinction.

No matter who you are, you can be educated here, and you can learn what you want to learn, life philosophy, and principles.

Merchants can learn business and management; scholars can learn politics and ideology; generals can learn the art of war and martial arts;

"It's amazing. There is only one 'university' in the entire Immortal Kingdom, and there is no other branch. It still offers all courses. Even creatures like "programmers" can find slow work methods such as controlling arrays and carving array patterns. I’m very curious about what else I don’t have in my profession of meticulous work.”

Xiang Dongliu walked leisurely on the path. , the destination is the small town under Taichu Mountain where the Taoist Temple is located. . "Axue, stop playing with that fluttering butterfly all the time. No one talks about it when you hide it. Just now, there are several groups of people asking questions. It's very annoying."

"Understood brother." Hearing this, Ah Xue recruited Xiaoxiao to hold it with one hand, and stuffed it under the clothes, and saw a wave of ups and downs in the clothes, and a small head appeared beside Ah Xue's collarbone. Xiaoxiao's head stared angrily Xiang Dongliu kept staring.

A few days ago, a Taoist "volunteer" came to the mansion to deliver a booklet of admission brochures, the so-called "admission notice", Xiang Dongliu thought about it and decided to join in the fun Well, after all...

"Axue, I went to school with me, and I forgot the feeling of being a scum in the exam for several years, let's go to experience it again, but this time I will try what it feels like to be a top student.

So, now Ah Xue is accompanying Xiang Dongliu to bravely climb the mountain, Mount Taichu.

At this time, there were still three days before the entrance examination, and the small town at the foot of Taichu Mountain was already overcrowded, but most of them were passers-by, accompanying the second- and third-generation Endai who were admitted to the examination, that is, the army of accompanying examinations.

About an hour later, Xiang Dongliu had just entered the town and was squeezing into a small restaurant. Before he could have a sip of hot tea, there was a voice over the town. The pitch was not high, but it seemed to be right next to his ear. sounded.

"At this time, the last person who received the Daoyuan brochure to enter the examination has also arrived before the deadline, so now, the Daoyuan preliminary examination begins."

······
"That's it, is it over?" All the people in the small town were listening intently, when suddenly the voice stopped abruptly, without saying anything about the specific assessment, the voice disappeared, as if there was an auditory hallucination, but everyone looked around. Seeing that everyone's expressions remained the same, I knew it wasn't a hallucination caused by rushing too fast and being exhausted.

According to everyone's thinking, shouldn't we talk about the assessment first, then talk about the requirements, and finally talk about the standards to be considered qualified?

People with various emotions such as doubts, depression, and confusion had to wait quietly in the small town.Because according to the practice of recruiting students once every five years, the exam begins every time the notice for the exam is issued. No one knows whether he will fail the entrance exam because of saying a wrong sentence, although no one doubts that it is the Taoist Academy. , because, no matter what the palace says...it's all right.

Of course, this does not include Xiang Dongliu. Xiang Dongliu is a bit resentful at this time, but he pretends to be as puzzled as everyone else and does not seek to understand.

Because I just stepped into the small town, such a puzzled sentence came from the sky, and on the way here, I wondered why there were not many people, but when I arrived in the small town, I found that there were so many people, and there was a lot of people on the road. I heard that those buddies who arrived early have been waiting for a month.If someone finds out that he was the last one to come, then he will be the target of public criticism and it will be difficult.

"Furthermore, only people in the fourth-level return to the true realm can send messages across the air. I didn't expect that the Taoist temple is quite powerful, and it is also full of style. If you send a message, let the fourth-level people come."

The waiting time is quite long, and the waiting time for the Taoist entrance examination is even longer.Everyone was waiting in the small town dryly. No, it should be said that it was suffering.

But Xiang Dongliu and A Xue are still not among them, he is very used to this kind of life, so just wait.In her previous life, she was originally a resident, eating and drinking as usual, walking around.Hiss, something seems wrong.

As for Axue, it's even simpler. She may be the only one among so many people who doesn't know how powerful the Taoist Academy is. Naturally, it takes one day to play, and three days pass in a blink of an eye.

However, other people who were also in the inn were really agitated. In the first two days, they still persisted in practicing and kept calm.But in the next few days, I couldn't bear it anymore.

Most of the people who entered the Taoist Academy were young people, and they waited together in the town, came and went, met some friends while eating and walking, and started to play together in the town.

Most of them are scholars and students recommended and selected by the army and localities, and they are soldiers and corps leaders.On weekdays, there are either countless sage books or countless military affairs. At this time, without family and teachers, the restraint of the superiors and generals is equivalent to a monkey spirit who has taken off the hoop, and slowly loses self-control , began to linger in the restaurants and brothels in the town, gambling and archways, and spent the whole night looking for fun.

Xiang Dongliu used his secret skills and "observed secretly". These people gave him a sense of familiarity, just like the largest and most important college entrance examination that most people have experienced in previous lives.

A few days before the college entrance examination, there will be two or three days to rest. At this time, under the huge pressure of the college entrance examination, some students will go to karaoke, surf the Internet, and even go to various entertainment places to relax. pressure.It is the so-called "small test for small play, big test for big play".It's as if the winning ticket is firmly in the palm of your hand, and you are already a member of the highest ivory tower after the exam.

However, there are still a considerable number of high-achieving students who still do not relax. They maintain the habit of getting up early, and they are still constantly brushing up questions and swimming in the sea of ​​questions.In the end, I got ideal grades in the exam and grasped this only exam that can be called a life-changing exam.

Xiang Dongliu recalled these memories of his past life inexplicably.It's a pity that I belong to the third situation, the lowest level of being a scumbag among scumbags.I didn’t go out to party with my classmates, but I had fun and made fun.I didn’t continue to review questions and consolidate knowledge.I just stay at home and feel unhappy, neither humble nor arrogant.

In the end, neither good grades nor entertainment were achieved.Therefore, the youthful memories belonging to Xiang Dongliu in the previous life are only boring gray and cold tones, which must be sad and sigh.

But once again, although the most fundamental characteristics of A Zhai have not changed, the others have changed 180 degrees like bottoming out.

Because people are always unwilling to understand, and completely ignore the turbulent inner world of an ordinary person... The unknown people at the bottom are always struggling in quiet despair.

So life is as splendid as summer flowers, but death cannot be as obscure as autumn leaves.It should be even more gorgeous than Xiahua, so that life can leave an eternal swan song in the world!
