Today’s first update: Chapter 1019!
…
Xu Kun quickly saluted the juniper tree: "Hello, Mr. Tree!"
"I wonder how to conduct this secret trial?"
"Haha, if you are so polite now, please don't hate me so much for a while!"
ah?
Xu Kun was puzzled, but Mr. Shu did not explain anymore. He only heard the branches of the cypress tree rustling a few times, and the needles fell, forming books in the air!
"These ten books are the enlightenment books you need to study in the first stage. There is no time limit for them. Once you have completely mastered the knowledge in these ten books, I will conduct the first stage assessment on you!"
"Ah, there are still exams?" Xu Kun's eyes widened.
Mr. Shu said sternly: "Learning without thinking will lead to indifference; thinking without learning will lead to peril!"
"Entering Qufu Academy means you are a student. As a student, studying and studying are your first priority!"
“Those who can see the whole leopard at a glance can be said to have only scratched the surface!”
"He who knows it by heart and knows it by heart can be said to know it by heart!"
“Only those who can draw inferences from one instance, think over and over again, understand the meaning of small words, and come up with their own new insights will be successful!”
Forehead……
Xu Kun looked at the ten books in front of him and suddenly felt that the trial process in this secret realm was not that simple!
According to Mr. Shu, the so-called knowing the whole thing at a glance means that you are relatively familiar with the knowledge points in a book. When others mention some famous quotes, you can immediately point out which book they come from and can roughly summarize them. Publish the content of the book!
For example: My son Wang Teng has the appearance of a great emperor. Which famous book does it come from?
Another example: What are the three burials of Tang Dynasty?
Equivalent to: Read it!
For Mr. Shu, Mr. Shu can only scratch the surface of this kind of learning in a wide range of fields.
Memorizing the full text is the second level of progress. If you want to gain access to the classroom, you must have a deeper and unique insight into the knowledge points you have learned!
Imitate, become, surpass!
As for how to demonstrate learning progress...
take an exam!
"The cultivation you paid is the highest standard SSS-level spiritual stone, so with me, you can only pass the test if you have mastered all nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine books to the point of entering the palace!"
Hiss~
Xu Kun took a breath of air!
Suddenly I felt like I had shot myself in the foot!
One book is short of 10,000. With such a huge number of books, not only do you have to master them all, but you also have to have your own unique understanding. Isn't this life-threatening?
Not to mention more than 9,000 books, even with these ten so-called enlightenment books, it would be extremely difficult for ordinary people to achieve this step!
Not to mention, as mentioned during the Gift of Cultivation, the higher the trial score, not only the number of books increases, but the quality of the content of the books also greatly improves!
Thinking of this, Xu Kun's face turned pale. Rather than whether he could achieve this step, he was more worried about how long it would take to master so much knowledge.
"Shu...Mr. Shu, how is the assessment conducted?"
"Simple, as long as you feel that your mastery of knowledge has reached the point where you can enter the palace, you can come to me to start the assessment trial. If you pass it, you can start the next stage?"
"What if it doesn't pass?" Xu Kun asked quickly.
"Haha, if you don't pass, in addition to continuing to study, I will also punish you accordingly for your level of performance and for your overestimation of your capabilities. As for the content of the punishment, I don't think you need to know it yet. You It’s best to hope that you can be punished less frequently!”
The old man's face on the cypress tree has a particularly bright smile, but combined with the dry bark, it gives people a chilling feeling!
Xu Kun couldn't help but tremble.
"Okay, don't waste time!"
"Black-haired people don't know how to study hard early, and white-haired people regret studying late. Now, let's take a look at the ten books you need to study in the first stage!"
Xu Kun nodded bravely and walked towards the pile of books. The ten books were made of different materials, some were made of animal skins, some were made of bamboo slips, some were paper, and there were even tablet e-books!
The title of the book is marked on the cover.
"Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Surnames", "Thousand Character Classic", "Disciple Rules", "Poems of Thousand Family", "Jin Ping Mei"...
Xu Kun was full of doubts: "These seem to be ancient literary works circulated in ancient China..."
"Really?" Mr. Shu smiled: "Open it and take a look!"
Xu Kun was confused, picked up the "Thousand Character Essay" in front of him and turned to the first page.
After one glance, my eyes widened!
You call this enlightenment reading?
Xu Kun, who did not believe in evil, picked up the "Hundred Family Surnames" next to him. After reading a few pages, he fell to the ground dejectedly.
"How about you kill me..."
Xu Kun looked like he was about to cry without tears. It looked like an enlightenment book about ancient literature passed down from ancient China, but it was actually completely different!
For example, the "Thousand-Character Classic", in Xu Kun's impression, was an enlightenment book used in ancient China to teach children to recognize commonly used characters, and the "Thousand-Character Classic" in front of him...
It also teaches you to recognize commonly used characters, but that is not limited to Chinese characters, but the characters of all ethnic groups!
Such as universal scripts for all races, dragon scripts, phoenix scripts...Wolf scripts, even human scripts, only occupy a small part of the page. As for the Chinese scripts that are part of the human race, they only occupy this small part. a small part of!
It is said that it is a thousand-character text. Xu Kun would believe it even if it is said that there are 10 million words in this thick book!
The same applies to the book of hundreds of surnames, not just Chinese surnames, but also all kinds of surnames of today's ten thousand races!
Like the two major national surnames of the Eight Tribes of Khitan: Yelu and Xiao!
As for the surnames of other races, I'm sorry, but Xu Kun, who doesn't even know the basic characters of each race, can't figure out which race these surnames belong to and how to pronounce them!
"How is it? Is it difficult?" Mr. Shu still looked calm and unhurried, as if he was used to seeing the same dull expression as Xu Kun at this moment!
Isn't it difficult?
This is only the trial requirement for an F-level trial score. At this level of difficulty, even an SSS-level trialist would still be a Muggle. It all depends on memory and IQ!
It can really be said that: all living beings are equal!
"I must remind you that you are choosing the highest standard of study, so if you give up before you complete all your studies, the rewards for the trial scores at each stage will be withdrawn!"
"Do you understand?"
Xu Kun nodded stiffly.
"Okay, let's not talk nonsense. Next, I will adhere to the teaching attitude of never getting tired of learning and teaching, and teach you to start your learning journey from enlightenment books!"
Xu Kun's eyes suddenly lit up: "Mr. Shu, will you teach me?"
"Haha, if you want to learn on your own, I don't have any problem with it. You can teach me regardless of class, as long as the goals are the same, you can do it!"
"Of course I want Mr. Shu to teach me how to study!" Xu Kun said quickly. This is also the best news he has heard so far.
For example, the various common characters recorded in the Thousand Character Inscriptions only have fonts and no phonetic symbols. Xu Kun was doubting life just now. How can he learn this? He can't just rely on guessing, right?
If there is a teacher to teach you, then don’t panic!
"Well, I will play the role of a strict teacher well. As I said before, I hope you don't hate me during the learning process!" Mr. Shu said with some deep meaning.
Xu Kun blinked in confusion. Now he didn't understand the consequences of letting Mr. Shu teach him!
All I can say is that the process was very satisfying!
It was also the beginning of his nightmare after entering this secret realm!
"Without further ado, let's begin our first lesson!"
"Studying requires a reasonable allocation of subjects. They are both enlightenment books. Although they are all basic knowledge, there are differences!"
"Whether it is your first stage of study or subsequent studies, there is a type of knowledge that is the basis for learning all knowledge. Can you choose this reading book from these ten books that covers all the basics?"
The foundation of foundations?
The answer to this question is not difficult to choose!
For example, when a child goes to school, the first thing he needs to learn is of course... literacy!
For example, the two books that Xu Kun just read, although he can't understand them now, are in good order. If you don't know the words, how can you read other things?
Comparing all major subjects, it is naturally Chinese!
"The foundation of everything should be this Thousand-Character Essay!" Xu Kun picked up this heavy book called "The Thousand-Character Essay", but actually it was the "Ten Million-Character Essay".
Mr. Shu smiled: "Children can be taught. In that case, let's get started!"
Xu Kun followed Mr. Shu's instructions, picked up "The Thousand Character Essay", turned to the first page, sat cross-legged, and the figures of children around him who were shaking their heads and reciting, made him feel like he was back in school!
"Come on, repeat the first word I taught you to read!"
Xu Kun:?
He was still reminiscing just now and didn't hear Mr. Shu speak at all. Now when he was asked, he looked completely confused.
He scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Mr. Shu, I'm sorry, the student just got distracted!"
"Don't neglect doing good deeds because they are small. Is this your attitude towards learning?"
Mr. Shu's voice suddenly became cold, and as the branches swayed, they turned into a shining ruler!
Pa~
Xu Kun: ヾ(≧O≦)〃Ouch~
It hurts!
The extreme pain caused Xu Kun's whole head to hit the ground. When he touched the head that had been slapped by the ruler, there was actually a big swollen bump on it!
No, this is a critical hit at the beginning?
"For your first offense, I will give you a small punishment but a big warning. If you do it next time, you will be responsible for the consequences!"
Xu Kun suddenly realized why Mr. Shu just said those words with profound meaning!
This is only his first offense. If he doesn't perform well next, will his head be smashed directly?
Xu Kun was so frightened that he shrank into a ball and held the "Thousand-Character Essay" in great spirits, but from the side, there was a burst of laughter like silver bells.
Xu Kun looked over curiously and found that Li Yian had left his consciousness at some point and was now sitting on the branch of an apricot tree with his legs crossed, holding a yellow apricot in his left hand and eating the juice flowing across it. Holding the orchid finger in one hand, she flipped through the enlightenment book titled "Jin Ping Mei" on the tablet with great concentration.
His face was flushed and he was looking very fascinated. After noticing Xu Kun's gaze, Li Yian raised his eyebrows and then made a gesture with his eyes.
Xu Kun was startled, but before he could recover, the ruler fell from the sky again!
boom!
At this time, Xu Kun felt that his limbs were all cracked, and his whole body was smashed into the floor tiles!
This is not a ruler, it is simply a cannonball!
"You, you, you! You are like a rotten tree that cannot be carved, and a wall of dung that cannot be built!"
Before Xu Kun could turn around, Mr. Shu's angry voice sounded angrily!
