Chapter 133 Studying in Huaishan (2)
There are still layers of clouds and mist under the foot of the mountain, which is indeed unusual.
Wen Weilan sent a message to his senior sister using a spiritual message, stating that they had arrived.
After a while, the clouds and mist spread to both sides, revealing a winding bluestone road.
The mountain path is deep and deep, as you climb up the stairs, there are heavy clouds and mist on both sides. Although you can't see it clearly, you can hear the waves of pines, the swaying bamboo forest, and the faint sound of gurgling from the clear spring rocks.
Ling Xiaoshu ran at the front, quite excited.
After all, as a tree, it has been in the world for a long time, just like in a cage. It naturally longs to return to nature, and every flower, plant and tree is very kind to it.
It's just a pity that the clouds and fog are so tight that we can't go outside the bluestone.
After walking for a long time, the clouds and fog finally began to thin, and the green pine, cypress and bamboo forests were visible.
The three of them walked for a while, and suddenly they saw the end of the bluestone and deep in the dense forest. There were four or five bamboo houses. Vegetables and fruits were grown in the courtyard, and a gurgling stream flowed by.
With a creak, the door of one of the bamboo houses opened, and a tall woman in a green shirt stepped out, followed by a big yellow dog.
When the big yellow dog saw the person coming, he immediately wagged his tail, bared his teeth and barked a few times, and was about to pounce on him excitedly.
"Xiao Tian, come back."
The woman in green shirt scolded softly, and the big yellow dog had no choice but to hang its head and walk back behind its owner with its tail hanging down, but its eyes were still looking in one direction.
This direction seems to be the location of Ling Xiaoshu.
Liu Sheng was a little surprised. Could this dog really see the small tree?
No wonder he has such a majestic name even though he looks like a local dog.
"Senior sister!" Wen Weilan called forward with a smile.
It seems that the woman in green shirt is the legendary senior sister Nangong Wan. Although according to Wen Weilan, she should be sixty years old, she looks only about thirty years old. Liu Sheng's beauty was the most beautiful she had ever seen in her life. Coupled with her temperament, which was as tough and unyielding as a green bamboo in the wind, she forgot all about the world.
We haven’t seen each other for a long time, but they are not unfamiliar with each other.
Nangong Wan directly squeezed Wen Weilan's shoulders and arms, and said a thousand words into one sentence: "Weilan, you... lost weight."
"It doesn't matter, maybe I have been too busy recently. ”
"You should eat more if you are busy."
"Okay."
"This is Liu Sheng who opened Qingyun Pavilion with you, right?" Nangong Wan looked at Liu Sheng , showing a kind smile like an elder.
"Hello, senior, I am Liu Sheng." Liu Sheng took the initiative to salute and introduced himself.
"You're welcome, you can follow Wei Lan and call me Senior Sister."
Liu Sheng changed his words in a good-natured manner: "Senior Sister."
As he spoke, Xiao Tian kept talking. They circled around Ling Xiaoshu, making Ling Xiaoshu's calves itchy and giggling.
“Although you are a good friend of Weilan, according to my practice, you still have to take the first and second exams in person.” Nangong Wan said seriously, “After all, my Huaishan training training is claimed to be 100%. I won the 100th National Examination, but the ugly words are ahead. I can’t harvest the seeds of too many mistakes, and I can’t ruin my reputation.”
"Sorry, I spoke more directly." She apologized to the two of them.
If she wasn't an acquaintance, she wouldn't even say such sorry words.
In fact, in the scientific examination training circle, the reputation of Huaishan training is not weak. On the contrary, it is famous that all participants will definitely win the exam.
Therefore, the students who came to her didn't know who they were, and they had a lot of gold and silver in their hands, just asking for some advice from her.
But she only selects a few potential students for training every year, focusing on quality rather than quantity.
Others also said that she was really stupid for not taking advantage of such a good opportunity to make money, but they had to be impressed by her outstanding training results.
Wen Weilan has been preparing for the imperial examination since he was a child. He does not need to participate in the training, so he does not know much about it. Only now does he know that the training for his senior sister has such a threshold. She couldn't help but feel a little worried. Although she had confidence in Liu Sheng's intelligence, her senior sister was by no means someone who gave in easily. After all, Liu Sheng had not systematically prepared for the imperial examination. What if she really failed?
Nangong Wan saw Wen Weilan's face wrinkled and smiled softly.
She continued to say to Liu Sheng: "I heard that you were admitted to the Weaving Institute after graduating from Hanshan Academy two years ago. Although it is a small weaving institute, it also shows that you still have some ability."
"But after so many years, a lot of knowledge should have been put aside long ago, not to mention that you are from the field of engineering and have limited knowledge in the technical field."
"Not to mention policy theory, non-technical disciples will not have relevant knowledge." Course, because policy theory is only useful in the imperial examination."
"I have no confidence in you in the martial arts examination. I heard that you only broke through the first level this year, not even two months ago. How many candidates do you know. For this reason, I have been tempering my bones since the age of three, and have been practicing since the age of ten. Start practicing at the age of two? There are countless people who are specially trained by famous teachers, and those who are more capable go out to hunt for tricks and practice fighting."
"I really don't understand, why don't you wait until next year to give it a try? So I do have it I have the confidence to accept you and take you for a whole year. It is not difficult to be a Jinshi."
The imperial examination is such a matter of thousands of troops crossing the single-plank bridge, but in Nangong Wan's words, it is "not difficult". If you are not an arrogant person, you will have it. Absolute confidence.
Liu Sheng was not angry because of Nangong Wan's words, and just said calmly: "There is no need to make a judgment first, senior sister, you can give it a try."
"Okay." Nangong Wan's eyes showed appreciation, "You Come here.”
"No one else should follow, including the little girl playing with Xiao Tian."
Everyone was shocked. Ling Xiaoshu's little hand rubbing the big yellow dog's head stopped in fright. Unexpectedly, this A sister can see her directly.
Hearing this, Liu Sheng couldn't help but look at Senior Sister Nangong. Although Senior Sister's cultivation level is not top-notch, she definitely has something extraordinary that others don't know about.
How can a "one-leaf blind" who can see through cosmic-level tree species be an ordinary monk?
Nangong Wan took Liu Sheng to one of the bamboo houses. There was no one inside, except for a few tables and chairs.
She took out a blank paper and put it on the table.
"The table has pen, ink, paper and inkstones. You can start doing the questions. I will collect the papers in an hour."
"Don't cheat, I have set restrictions here. , the consequences of fraud will be disastrous.”
Liu Sheng responded and said he understood.
"Okay, just concentrate on writing."
After saying that, Nangong Wan went out, leaving Liu Sheng alone.
Liu Sheng picked up the paper and read each question.
The first question is an extremely basic and in-depth essay question.
"On the origin of spiritual energy and its flow between heaven and earth."
Second question:
"On how the theory of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements is applied to the reconciliation of spiritual energy, and its influence on the practice of practitioners For the purpose of improvement.”
Liu Sheng nodded thoughtfully.
This question reflects the fusion of current practice theory and ancient theory, and requires the answerer to have some knowledge of ancient books.
...
After the ten art essay questions is a big strategy question.
“Weird things are happening more and more frequently, and the safety of the country and the happiness and misfortune of the people all depend on this. Let’s discuss the country’s prevention and control strategies for dealing with weird things.”
Liu Sheng pondered for a moment, Turning back to the first question, I dipped my brush in ink and started writing in the blank space under the question.
