Chapter 23 Freshman Admission
"I don't know how you hide your skills. Although I am very interested, I respect everyone's secrets."
The young man helped Zhao Yushu up, held his fingers, and wrapped them with a pale white spiritual power. After a moment, Zhao Yushu shook his hands in surprise. Is it okay?
"My name is Meng Yan, and I am the fourth child. If we are destined to meet, you will call me Fourth Senior Brother."
Lao Zhao was a little confused: "What do you mean?"
"You will know when the time comes. I will take you back to the teaching building first. Uncle Wen is still waiting."
"Wait a minute!"
"what's up?"
Lao Zhao scratched his head: "Can I wash my face and change my clothes first? They all stink."
Lao Zhao was taken to the bathroom. Meng Yan left behind a set of underwear and went out. Lao Zhao soaked in the pool and blushed when he thought of the beautiful body he had just seen.
I didn't dare to soak it for too long, so I just washed myself and hurried out. Meng Yan didn't say much, and waved his folding fan, and the glass-like feeling in front of my eyes returned immediately.
"Just go out of this door, go ahead, we'll see you again if we're lucky."
Zhao Yushu walked to the door, hesitated for a moment, and when he looked back, Meng Yan was gone. He raised his leg and stepped over the threshold, and suddenly there was a lot of noise.
"Brother Zhao, Brother Zhao! You made me look for you so hard, how come you disappeared as soon as I entered the door?" Not long after, Wang Yuan and Ouyang Wen came over. It seemed that they had indeed wasted a lot of time. Ouyang Wen had recovered.
"Uh, my stomach suddenly hurts a bit, so I went to the toilet."
"Is it okay?"
“Already ready”
Wen Jijiu, who was standing high above, looked at Zhao Yushu's sudden appearance, and a hint of subtle surprise and admiration flashed in his eyes. The level of Tianji Pavilion was not difficult. It was not difficult for those who were determined and determined to survive.
But Zhao Yushu took that path without knowing it, and he was able to survive the third level.
Having said that, entering the Tianji Pavilion is nothing. The key is whether you can become his disciple. This depends on personal fate. Otherwise, that senior brother with a weird temper would not have only five disciples until now.
According to Meng Yan, the second and fourth brothers were responsible for the first two levels. Since the senior brother was not in the academy at the moment, it was arranged by the eldest brother. Interesting, interesting.
"Everyone!" Wen Jijiu's voice appeared, and the scholars quickly quieted down.
"I am fortunate to have two hundred more talented people today. I hope you will study hard and ask questions in the academy and make further progress."
After Wen Jijiu finished speaking, the two hundred disciples bowed in unison.
Lao Zhao was shocked. There must have been thousands of people taking the exam, most of whom were elites selected from various places. But only 200 were accepted. This admission rate was ridiculous.
Lao Zhao didn't believe that there were many people who used the same backdoor as himself. After all, the academy had a good reputation. Besides, if you didn't have some talent, it would be useless to use the backdoor.
Then, some scholars in black and white bachelor's robes came forward, each holding a scroll in their hands, and called out the names in turn. After each person called out ten names, he would take over the next one.
Zhao Yushu was assigned to the third group, Wang Yuan was assigned to the seventh group, and Ouyang Wen was assigned to the fifteenth group. These three good friends were separated.
Zhao Yushu discovered that the groups were based on gender. Nearly half of the students were girls. This world is really friendly to women.
"Follow the senior who called your name, they will arrange your next trip," a middle-aged man who had never been seen before shouted, and the freshmen lined up obediently and were led away like little ducks.
"The place you were in just now is the teaching building. It is usually used for exams or professors to give lectures on large-scale topics. Classes are not held there."
The leader introduced the students to the
"This is Zi Xin Yuan, the residence of the female disciples. You should not try to go in on weekdays. If you have something to say, please ask the old lady at the door to pass it on. If you go in without permission and ruin their reputation, you will be escorted to the government at the very least, or expelled from school at the worst."
My goodness, being expelled from school is more serious than going to jail. Immediately, the younger students responded with eager but regretful voices.
"This is the Question-solving Hall. It's not just one room, but a collective name for all the classrooms. You will study most of your classes here in the future."
"In front is the food court, which provides three meals a day. There is no limit on the amount of food, but you are not allowed to waste it. You can spend some money to cook a small meal or have a midnight snack. The academy will not take care of it."
Old Zhao nodded repeatedly after hearing this. It was very complete, just like the university in the previous life. This world was a mess in terms of technology, but the humanities and social sciences were quite high.
"The tallest tower at the back is the library. You can go there to read in your spare time. Do it according to your ability."
Do what you can? It's just a library, what's there to do? I'm not illiterate.
"Okay, this is your dormitory, Mo He Yuan. You are freshmen. Room 3 of Ding Zi Yuan. Go and rest first. I'll get your clothes."
"Thank you, Senior Brother." Everyone hurriedly returned the greetings. After Senior Brother left, they rushed in and were all dumbfounded.
Oh shit, a big bunk bed!
You were so modern in the beginning, and the hardware sounded awesome, but how come you went back to BC when you got to the dormitory? It's the same in every world.
The scholars who were able to enter the academy had seen good things. They were either from wealthy families or talented enough to get high scholarships to live in Dongdu. Otherwise, they couldn't afford the registration fee. It was not a problem for two people like Wang Yuan and Ouyang Wen to visit brothels every day. Who the hell had ever lived in a dormitory?
Ten unlucky kids looked at each other, no one knew what to do next.
It all depends on me, Lao Zhao. Who made me sleep on both bunk beds in my previous life?
Zhao Yushu coughed lightly, came to the berth at the edge, pulled down the bedding at the head of the bed, laid it out, put the hard pillow in place, folded the quilt into a tofu block, and neatly occupied the best position on the big bunk bed.
I won't squeeze in among a bunch of you grown men.
The remaining students exclaimed and rushed to grab a good seat.
"Oh, it's OK. It's much neater than the other rooms." The senior brother came back with a pile of clothes and distributed two sets of clothes to each person according to the list. The clothes of the academy are all black and white, with only a green bamboo embroidered on the chest, and a leaf represents the new life.
"You need to wash your clothes yourself. There is a bathroom behind the food court. Take a shower first and then change your clothes. You are only allowed to wear this attire in the academy on weekdays. Okay, if there is nothing else, I will leave. You can stroll around today. Tomorrow, you will get up when the bell rings once, eat when it rings twice, and go to the Doubts Hall to pick up your class schedule and books when it rings three times. Do you have any other questions?"
"Yes," a classmate raised his hand: "Excuse me, senior brother, can I leave the academy on weekdays?"
"Yes, but not today. Tomorrow morning you will receive a wooden sign to enter and leave. But be careful when you act outside and don't bring shame to the academy."
"Brother," Lao Zhao also raised his hand, "I heard that there is a special place for monks in the academy. May I ask where it is?"
Tianji Pavilion is not a big secret, but not everyone knows it. So although Lao Zhao heard Zhang's father and daughter mention it, he didn't dare to say the name directly, in case it was someone else's privacy.
"You mean the Tianji Pavilion? You will see that place when you are supposed to see it, but you will never find it when you are not supposed to see it," the senior brother said with a bit of pride.
It doesn't look private, but it's very mysterious.
Lao Zhao thanked his senior brother, and no one asked any more questions.
After the senior brother left, it was time for the much-loved introduction session.
Lao Zhao said there were too many people to remember
What he cared about were the two people he met today. The one named Meng Yan said that if they were destined to be together, he would call him Fourth Senior Brother in the future.
I used to read novels a lot in my previous life. You two must be from Tianji Pavilion, right?
