It was the evening of June 6, the third day Zhai Zhiming stayed in Moshi Village.
"Okay, don't be sulky. I've seen it. Practitioners are indeed very strong. If it were you, I wouldn't be able to catch any of them."
Seeing that Zhai Zhiming's face began to darken again, Wei Feng quickly added: "I mean there is no need for a trap."
After saying that, Zhai Zhiming's face that pretended not to care became a little less stiff. Even so, he couldn't help but argue: "I was injured, so I didn't dare to use my full strength because I was afraid of pulling the wound." , at most 30% of the performance was achieved."
Wei Feng put on a confident expression: "Well, it's true, it's not worth it for a few rabbits."
The reason why the two had the above conversation was because they were hunting in the mountains during the day.
Before going up the mountain, Wei Feng told Zhai Zhiming that he would only hunt rabbits this time and try not to hunt other animals. The reason has been explained before. Rabbit meat is more delicious, the meat is not large and is not easy to spoil. Another point is that rabbits The skins can be tanned for personal use or sold for money.
Zhai Zhiming spent most of the day searching and chasing rabbits. He attacked 7 times and caught 3 rabbits. However, when he caught the first one, he did not control his strength well. Yuanli burst out from the long sword and strangled the rabbit. It was sparse and looked too ugly, so the two of them abandoned it, so the final result was 2.
Although he is indeed very fast, a few points faster than a rabbit, in a complex environment such as the mountain forest, there are some gaps that rabbits can get through that he cannot. In addition, the wild rabbits that escape all the year round are very flexible, so his success rate does not count. high.
The two of them caught the rabbit for food, not just to kill it, so Zhai Zhiming had to hold back some strength, otherwise the success rate would be much higher than it is now.
The more important point is, as he said, he is indeed injured. Even though it has been two days, he does not dare to use his full strength.
If that was all, Zhai Zhiming would secretly sigh at most, since his purpose of showing off his strength to Wei Feng had been achieved anyway, and catching rabbits was just incidental.
After he had been busy for a long time, when he suggested to catch two and go back to eat first, Wei Feng stopped him and told him there was no rush, then walked in front of him and started to lead the way.
Zhai Zhiming followed Wei Feng through the mountain forest and watched him helplessly. Every once in a while, he would pick up a rope trap from the bushes or under the roots of trees. There was often a victim in the trap. Sleepy rabbit.
The two of them checked 5 traps and caught 4 rabbits, twice as much as Zhai Zhiming's harvest after working so hard for most of the day. The sudden look on his face changed from light and pale to as black as the bottom of a pot, which made Wei Feng feel a little agitated. I couldn't help laughing.
Why did the traps he set have such a high hit rate? That is of course cheating.
If Zhai Zhiming could observe carefully, he would find that the place where each rope trap is placed is basically the only way to pass through a nearby rabbit nest. Unfortunately, Wei Feng left after collecting the rabbits, without giving him a chance to check.
The two of them carried the rabbits to the cave and decided to roast two for dinner. Zhai Zhiming took the initiative to take over the job of roasting the rabbits and let Wei Feng see his skills.
Half an hour later, a golden roasted rabbit with a meaty aroma fell into Wei Feng's hands.
The canine dog almost shed tears from the smell. Although it didn't make a "wuwu" sound, its big round eyes were staring at the rabbit meat for a long time. Wei Feng took the rabbit meat and immediately pulled off a rabbit's hind legs. He handed it to it, and then he tore off a piece and put it in his mouth.
He was surprised to find that the surface of the rabbit meat was sprinkled with some kind of spices. He had never tasted it but it tasted surprisingly good.
After asking, I learned that this was a spice discovered by a tutor in the academy who lived and slept in the open all year round. It is very delicious when used with food, especially baked food.
After the two of them and the dog had almost eaten, Wei Feng wiped the oil on his hands and asked curiously: "I always hear you talk about the Academy, what exactly is the Academy?"
Wei Feng raised this topic for the first time in three days and looked at the other party with burning eyes.
Zhai Zhiming put down the roasted rabbit in his hand and said seriously: "The Academy is the highest academic institution in the Jiang Kingdom established by His Majesty.
After nearly three hundred years of war in the border areas, His Majesty established three provinces and six bureaus, implemented imperial examinations, weakened families and sects, and established a school west of the capital Tianyang City in order to prevent the recurrence of chaos.
The Academy has the strongest teaching staff in the country, and it also gathers the top talents. There are a large number of talented people who came from the Academy, both in the court and in the military. "
Wei Feng nodded: "Is this academy the place where you are taught the practice you mentioned?"
Zhai Zhiming shook his head: "Not entirely. Cultivation is only part of the academy's curriculum. Everything from astronomy to geography, literature, classics, martial arts, and various arts are taught."
"Oh." Wei Feng nodded vaguely, understanding it as a comprehensive university with all majors.
"Then can everyone practice?" It's not like he's never been to college, so he's not very interested. He's mainly interested in this practice.
Zhai Zhiming considered it carefully and said: "Theoretically, most people can practice, but there are differences in qualifications. However, considering the many resources required for practice, the academy has set a minimum qualification standard. Those who are below the standard The most you can do is enter the outer courtyard.”
Wei Feng knew that this outer college was definitely not the foreign language college he knew, so he asked: "Is the college still divided into inner and outer colleges? I thought only sects and the like would differentiate."
Zhai Zhiming frowned slightly: "The sect is only divided into direct disciples, core disciples and registered disciples. The distinction between inner and outer academies starts from the academy."
Wei Feng shrugged and said that he understood. It seemed that he was misled by some books in his previous life.
Zhai Zhiming thought for a while and thought that Wei Feng had never been to a school. Wei Feng knew nothing about things that he considered common sense. This would have some impact on his subsequent decisions, so he planned to give him some popular science. At least the history of Jiang State needs to be told.
The two of them cleaned up the food remnants and went down the mountain while it was getting dark. After returning to Wei Feng's courtyard, Zhai Zhiming began to educate Wei Feng. They chatted until late at night before Wei Feng finally established it in his mind. gain an overall understanding of this continent.
Seeing that Wei Feng had a clear understanding of the concept of the Academy, Zhai Zhiming sat upright and said, "Let me ask you, are you willing to take the Academy entrance exam?"
"Of course I do."
He has been showing off himself these past three days, just for this moment. He is not a customer service person, so he still has to answer all the questions? Finally, his plan did not fail. At this moment, the young man finally showed a relaxed and cheerful smile.
It was late at night, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, it was time to rest.
