"There are roads in the mountain of books, and hard work is the path; there is no limit to the sea of learning, and hard work is the boat."
"What a bookstore, it really makes people think deeply and reflect."
After climbing to the top of the mountain of books, Zhuang Buzhou looked down, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of emotion in his heart. This first level can be said to be well-intentioned, directly pointing out that there are no shortcuts on the road to literature. To reach the top and keep moving forward, only by taking diligence as the path, hard work as the boat, continuous hard work and reading thousands of volumes, can we understand the true meaning. Make something out of it.
This first level is really not difficult.
If you can understand the true meaning of the first level, then any student who can read and read can easily pass it. Of course, if you are a dead wood that cannot be carved and cannot understand its meaning, then you will stop at the mountain of books. You cannot climb up.
The higher you go, the greater the pressure you will experience.
Here, there is actually a big test of understanding, chance, and piety.
When a devout scholar encounters difficulties, he will unconsciously recite the words of the sages he has learned. At this time, as long as he pays attention, he will be able to detect the changes and immediately understand how to pass this level. Unless it's really rotten wood.
Therefore, those who cannot pass the first level are either Kuchiki or ordinary people who are illiterate.
He saw Yun Qinghe, Xia Wuya, and Su Qiu who had already climbed up Shushan, but there was still Shouhou who hadn't come up yet. Looking down at Shushan, as long as you reach the top of the mountain, the fog on Shushan has no effect, and you can have a panoramic view of all the scenes. The skinny monkey was currently circling back and forth at the bottom of the mountain.
He was completely dismissive of the books growing on the sage tree next to him.
"It's over, Skinny Monkey is illiterate and has never read a book. He gets a headache when he reads a book. I even taught him the exercises. If this continues, he won't be able to pass the first level."
Xia Wuya's face looked ugly.
His junior brother knew very well that Shouhou was completely illiterate, and letting him study would be more painful than killing him. This mountain of books was very unfriendly to him, and it was difficult for him to climb up the mountain. This time, it will definitely be brushed off.
"There is something weird about this book mountain. There are some special rules. There is no way to cheat in this place."
Yun Qinghe said softly.
"I don't know what the punishment for not passing the test is now."
A worried look appeared on Xia Wuya's face.
There is no hope for the thin monkey. If he can pass, then there is something wrong.
However, now, there is no use worrying anymore, all we can do is wait for the results. At this time, any move may expose oneself to a fatal threat.
Time passed quietly.
Before I knew it, a day had passed.
The time for climbing has passed.
The gentleman appeared on the mountain of books, looked at the students who had not climbed to the top of the mountain, his face was cold, and he waved his hand and said: "The time has come, you bunch of rotten trees, you really can't be carved. Even if there are Lu Qin in the mountain of books, You know, you don’t even understand the principle of studying the sea and working hard. In this case, you can just be a dead tree at the foot of the mountain. In the mountain of books, there are thousands of talented people reading. I hope that you, the dead trees, can gain enlightenment. "
The words were filled with a kind of anger that hates iron for not becoming steel. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the whole bodies of those who had not passed the test at the foot of the mountain of books suddenly froze, and then changed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Completely turned into a rotten tree.
Can't move!
Can't speak!
Can not look! !
I can only listen to the sound of reading aloud from the sage tree.
But they can still think about it one by one. He has thoughts, but he cannot move, speak, or see. For a person, this is definitely one of the most horrific tortures in the world and the most unbearable torture.
The horror of this punishment immediately caused many students on Shushan to take a deep breath and swallow secretly.
"I dare to ask sir, although they did not pass the first level, sir, didn't he say that there are three levels here. If you pass any level, you can enter the inner courtyard. If that turns them into rotten wood, how can they participate in the next assessment."
Xia Wuya gritted his teeth, took a step forward, and asked.
"Don't worry, they will be punished for ten days if they become deadwood. After ten days, they can continue to the second level of assessment, but that will be done after you. The academy is fair."
The gentleman said calmly.
This is equivalent to taking a make-up exam.
"Thank you sir for clarifying my doubts."
Xia Wuya quickly thanked him.
Although he knew that Slender Monkey would have a hard time passing the next levels, at least he knew how long the punishment would be. Ten days, no matter how you calculate it, is still bearable. It won't really cause irreparable damage.
"Very good, now let's enter the second level."
The gentleman nodded and said.
"This second level is the couplet. If you get it right, you will pass. If you don't get it right, you will fail."
The gentleman did not try to be cryptic, he directly spoke out the second level.
After hearing this, many students showed a hint of relief. You know, couplets are a basic skill for readers. Almost everyone who has gone to school has some experience. Ordinary pairs, even if they are not very neat, can still make sense.
Therefore, I am still somewhat confident about the couplet.
"Sir, please give me a question."
Many students spoke one after another.
"Um!"
The teacher nodded and said: "I will make a couplet, and ten people can make the right answer for each couplet. If the answer is neat and precise, they can pass the test. If the answer is wrong, it will be considered a failure."
"Now listen to my first couplet."
"A father-son three-word master!!"
The gentleman said the first couplet.
"The students are here, sir, please listen."
One student's eyes lit up and he immediately stepped forward and said, "Brothers on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are one family."
"Okay, pretty neat, pass!!"
The gentleman heard and nodded.
"We have students, sir. Please listen." Another student came forward and said, "Five fingers together in one palm!!"
"It's a little rough, so you pass."
The teacher frowned slightly and said, but he can still be considered as having passed. This test is not about how precise and precise it is. In the end, it only tests the students' basic skills.
.....................
Afterwards, a number of famous students stepped forward to answer.
Ten students came forward.
Then the gentleman came out with the second and third couplets.
Students continued to participate enthusiastically and responded.
Zhuang Buzhou listened and nodded secretly. He didn't find these couplets too difficult. In his previous life, he had so much information. Even if he didn't study it deliberately, he could hear many things by ear. detailed.
Even primary school students are learning - the sky versus the earth, the rain versus the wind, the continent versus the sky, the mountain flowers versus the sea water, the red sun versus the sky.
These basic routines are still clear.
By following these routines, no matter how subtle it is, you can still make it neat.
It's not too difficult and is completely within the scope of what you have learned.
Suddenly, he felt confident, and this second level was not difficult for him.
Therefore, I have instantly decided to complete this assessment as soon as possible and pass this second level.
"Now please listen to the question."
At this time, the teacher asked the question again: "But teach your disciples with poems and books!!"
"Sir, please listen."
After Zhuang Buzhou heard this, he understood in his heart and stepped forward with a confident look on his face: "Don't judge a hero by his success or failure."
His voice was clean and crisp, confident and natural.
"Huh?" After hearing this, the gentleman couldn't help but be surprised. He looked at Zhuang Buzhou, looked at it carefully, nodded and said: "Not bad, very good, correct and neat, and it is also extremely subtle and has a good meaning. . It’s the finishing touch. What’s your name?”
"Student Zhuang Buzhou."
Zhuang Buzhou smiled calmly.
"Okay, you passed."
When the husband heard this, he took a deep look at him and obviously remembered him.
Afterwards, the assessment continued, and students one after another opened their mouths to answer questions.
There are failures and there are successes.
You can see that the number of people is gradually decreasing.
Xia Wuya, Su Qiu, and Yun Qinghe did not respond. Especially Su Qiu, it can be seen that there is obvious embarrassment on her face. She knew a few words, but the problem was that she really didn't learn much, and she wasn't even good at it. When I think about this pair, my head feels like paste.
"In the garden, there is the fragrance of peach blossoms, lotus flowers, osmanthus flowers, and the fragrance of flowers."
The gentleman said the right thing.
This time, Xia Wuya and the others obviously couldn't escape. Because there are only a few of them left, and together they don’t number more than ten.
It's just that his face is ugly.
This couple feels like their heads are full of flowers. How is this right?
"Forgive me, sir, but I can't come out."
Yun Qinghe took a deep breath and then said calmly.
"I can't apologize either."
Xia Wuya also followed suit.
Anyway, he has already passed one level. If he failed this time, he will be punished if there is any punishment. After all, he is still qualified to enter the inner courtyard.
When Su Qiu heard this, she also wanted to say that she didn't know.
But the gentleman snorted coldly: "Kuchiki, you don't even dare to be right. You just say you don't know how. You are willing to admit failure. You don't have the spirit of a scholar at all. It's really embarrassing." Obviously, in his opinion, failure If you are not afraid and don’t even dare to be right, then it is a matter of anger.
When these words fell into Su Qiu's ears, a burst of anger immediately emerged. You must know that Su Qiu had always admired his senior brother Xia Wuya the most, so how could he hear others say this about him. Just when he was about to admit that he didn't know how to do it, he turned around and said in the next second: "What's so difficult about this? I'll do it right."
As soon as these words came out, Xia Wuya and Yun Qinghe couldn't help but look sideways and looked over.
Especially Xia Wuya, who smiled bitterly in his heart: This girl is up to something, but she must not cause any trouble.
How could he not know what level she was at?
"Oh, then check it out." The gentleman looked at Su Qiu calmly and said slowly.
"In the big river, there are many carp, grass carp, and bass. There are many fish, many fish, many fish, many fish." Su Qiu said with confidence.
Look at this pair, how neat and smooth they are.
Isn’t there a lot of fish in the river?
"Hmph, that's vulgar."
The gentleman frowned deeply and let out a cold snort, obviously very dissatisfied with the couple.
