(1/2)
The two young men said enthusiastically: "It turns out you really don't know. Just last month, dozens of students from academies from all over Xichuan gathered at Xishan Academy - a competition, a discussion!"
"Competition? Discuss the truth?"
The three of us looked at each other and their faces became a little heavy.
Chabi's frown was about to twist into a line, looking at the two young men: "Is this happening?"
"certainly!"
"And, the first game is over!"
"First game?"
"Yes, I heard that the Tadao was divided into three games in total. The first game was a complete two days of competition, and Xishan Academy won!"
The younger man looked excited, his ears turned red, and he said happily: "You don't know, I heard them say that the competition process was simply wonderful, and it was even more nervous than watching a duel between experts. Xishan Academy can only send one student, while each of the other academies sends one student, and there are eleven students in total. The two sides fight. If any of the eleven students wins, they will win. The students of Xishan Academy must win all of them to be considered a winner!"
Someone in the inn lobby heard the conversation here and slowly came over. A middle-aged man said, "If you want me to tell me, this is too harsh."
Someone next to him echoed: "Yes, it's unfair to Xishan Academy."
The young man said, "Who said no? But the students of Xishan Academy are also tough, and they really agreed!"
At this time, someone said, "But the place for the competition is in their Xishan Academy, and the students all came from afar. They waited for their leisure, and the right time, place, and people belonged to them."
In order not to be too arrogant, the three of us found a window and sat in the secluded position. Unexpectedly, those people gathered around and talked about the Xishan Academy competition, the entire inn was attracted. It seems that they were right. The people in this inn were all going to watch the fun. No wonder they were so interested in this matter.
A middle-aged man said, "But how did we compare the first game? There were eleven people on the other side and only one student in Xishan Academy played, so why did they win?"
Another young man hurriedly said, "I know, I heard that they had placed 374 targets on a mountain for archery, and there were all places. I heard that some targets were still installed on living creatures. Students participating in the competition had to ride on horses, with legs tied to saddles, and they must not dismount in the middle. They also had 374 arrows in their quiver, each with their own academy logo. After going up the mountain, the one who scored the most targets won."
"oh--!"
Someone around him had already sighed: "This is very difficult."
"Yes, I heard that the competition started when the sun sets."
"I know that mountain is difficult to walk, so I have to ride on horseback, tsk--"
"Old hunters should be careful when they go up."
Listening to the people around him sighing, Chabixing said calmly: "Anyway, is it the students of Xishan Academy who won?"
"Of course, that game was beautiful, and I heard that more than 340 arrows were on the target."
"The old hunter doesn't have such a good accurate head!"
"yes."
Chabixing only curled his lips and said, "It's just shooting targets, not all living things. This kind of accuracy - these days, they must have neglected training."
It seems that this result does not satisfy him.
Someone had already sighed: "This is amazing, and the students in the academy were convinced."
I asked, "Then, they won the first game, and what about the second game?"
The young man said, "The second game is to start the competition tomorrow."
"Oh? What to compete?"
"We are not very clear about this, but I heard that it should be a competition of poetry and books."
"Poetry and Book?"
An old man who is very old and looks like a scholar slowly walked over and said with a smile on his face: "I want to say that this competition is really interesting, much better than riding a horse and shooting archery."
Immediately someone looked back at him: "How do you say this? How exciting is riding and shooting."
"Stimulation is stimulation, but when the arrow is shot out, what have you got? Nothing is obtained, but this competition of poetry and books is different."
“What’s the difference?”
The old man stroked his beard and shook his head and said, "Since more than 30 years ago, the head of the Yan family and the eldest wife of the Yan family began to include ancient books in Xichuan. How many academies have benefited from it? Those books are all good things. However, after being included in those academies, it is rare for everyone to see them. This time, if they want to compete in poetry and books, they have to show their true abilities. If they don’t have anyone, they have them, that is the true abilities!"
Someone immediately said, "Old man, do you think they will take out the ancient books they included and are not available in other places to compete?"
The old man smiled and nodded: "Not bad."
“…”
"I am seventy-six years old and I am about to die. This time I made a special trip to Xishan Academy just to see it."
Someone heard him and sighed: "It's true. I heard that the Yan family spent a lot of money to include those ancient books, and the academies also benefited from it. However, they included these ancient books, and they were all hidden in their own bookshops and did not let people know. What's the difference between this and being lost?"
"So this time, take advantage of this fun and everyone will go and have a better experience."
They were talking lively, but we were quiet, and no one could care about us anymore. At this time, the waiter brought our things up, so I ordered: "I am a little tired, so I will deliver them to us. Qinghan, Chabixing, let's go upstairs first."
The two of them nodded, and went upstairs with me and went back to the room.
The waiter put the food on the table and walked out. When he closed the door, he could still hear various heated arguments in the lobby.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Fortunately, everything became quiet as soon as the door was closed.
I slowly walked to the table and watched Chabixing throw an orange around with both hands. It seemed like he was playing, but his eyes were not the case at all. The cold expression on the other side also seemed a little solemn. I sat down and said softly: "Is there something wrong?"
The two of them immediately looked up at me.
Chabixing spoke first: "The academy will not do such a thing."
"oh?"
Qinghan also nodded gently.
I hesitated: "But, in the third year of the Apocalypse, did Xishan Academy hold a erudition conference?"
Chabixing said: "Miss, I know what you are going to say, but that erudition conference is different from this one. It was held by teachers gathering scholars all over the world. That erudition conference was said to be erudition conference. In fact, now we think it is a erudition conference.
"Included ancient books?"
"Yes, what the old man said just now was that Ling Zun and the eldest lady spent a lot of money to collect ancient books in Xishan. Of course, there were also talks at that erudition at that time, but after hearing from the master, he could not discuss a great way in the end, because at that time, no one could convince anyone; instead, he got a lot of ancient books. Xishan Academy benefited a lot that time. Nearly half of our collection of books obtained that time, and other academies of course also had their own benefits."
"So that's what it is..."
I nodded silently.
Qinghan said slowly next to him: "But this time's discussion of Tao seems to be very different from the last time. The last time sounded really a discussion of Tao, but this time, the competition is heavier than the discussion of Tao."
Chabixing immediately said, "Yes, I think this is strange too. We do have to learn the six arts in the academy. It is difficult for nerds to stay in the academy, but the problem is that the master never lets us compete!"
“…”
"He often says that when a person has the desire to win, his learning becomes less simple."
“…”
"Even our brothers in the academy, they never compete in the Kung Fu's Kung Fu."
“…”
"How could he allow the academy people to compete with others? And it was a student from eleven academys. The situation was so big that almost everyone in Xichuan knew about it."
“…”
"This kind of competition is not a discussion at all. Not to mention him, in the eyes of students, it is like playing arts."
“…”
"This, it's not like his behavior."
I also nodded gently.
After all, Chabixing has been staying in the academy and following Nan Zhenyi. He said that, it is really a bit weird.
At this time, Qinghan slowly said, "Don't you think that judging from the previous few things, it doesn't seem like his style of conduct?"
“…”
Chabixing and I were both stunned and turned to look at him. His eyes flashed slightly, and we also looked at us.
yes……
Then I thought about it in a daze, since Qinghan and I were both writing books for him, but he refused to let Nians go to the academy; before that, I detained the prince; now, I have agreed to other academy competitions for the first time.
It was indeed a bit strange for him to do these things.
Qinghan said: "If something goes wrong, there will be a demon."
I frowned: "Is he being coerced?"
When he heard what I said, Chabixing laughed and said, "Miss, that's impossible."
“…”
"Even if the master is held on his neck by someone, he will definitely do what he wants to do. And I dare say that no one in this world can hold his neck with a knife on his neck!"
He said so surely, not even whether Nan Zhenyi could be coerced by others, but that he had no chance of coercing him.
I said, "So, what's wrong with this?"
Chabixing looked solemn and didn't say anything. Qinghan was silent for a while and said slowly: "I think why this competition is not the most important thing."
Chabixing and I both looked at him.
