Don't be afraid, fairy, I'm blind

Chapter 186 Senior sister is on the mountain, junior sister is at the bottom of the mountain

The wind above Shuxian Peak is refreshing, the pines on both sides of the mountain road are like the sea, and the clouds and mist are shrouded.

Walking on the mountain path of Shuxian Peak, you can hear the mysterious Sanskrit sound with every step you take.

Fairy Lu has pink lips, a white dress with gold trim, and a gold crown with tassels on her forehead, making her look noble and unattainable.

She walked in front with a windy step, and the lingering fragrance she left behind seemed to carry the elegant fragrance of ink. Unfortunately, this elegant fairy, known for her gentleness, remained silent while facing You Su.

You Su didn't bother to look for trouble, but he remembered that when he defeated Shi Yan last time, it was Fairy Lu who came out to stop him. So he followed closely behind the fairy without saying a word.

Soon, Fairy Lu took him to his destination, a small academy with an elegant layout. On the lintel, there were three beautiful characters "Zhuyingju" written clearly.

Bamboo Shadow Residence is surrounded by a dense bamboo forest, with bamboo leaves rustling in the breeze. Whenever sunlight penetrates the densely spaced bamboo leaves, mottled light and shadow dance on the ground, adding a sense of mystery and tranquility to the academy, hence the name Bamboo Shadow Residence.

What makes it more famous is not its quiet environment, but the fact that it is a separate courtyard where the famous Lu Xianzi studied and taught.

Lu Xianzi is the deacon of Shuxian Peak, one level higher than Gu Yao, the outer deacon, and her status is second only to the junior elder. In addition to her beauty and talent, her classes are even more popular than those of some junior elders. In particular, she insists on teaching that the essence is more important than the more, which makes the students selected by her feel very proud. Many Xuanxiao Sect disciples will come to Zhuyingju as a bragging capital.

"Don't dare."

"It's not my original wish. If possible, I would like to ask Shuxianfeng to rectify the name of Mr. Zhou Dunyi. You Su is just his reciter." You Su was very honest.

You Su didn't understand why he had to force himself to be his examiner if no one was really free at Shuxian Peak?

Fairy Lu stared at You Su for a few seconds, then turned around with a flourish of her sleeves and said coldly: "Come in."

Fairy Lu was shocked at first, then frowned and said, "Since you didn't write it, why did you deceive the world and steal your reputation?"

"You Su has absolutely no intention of doing this. If possible, I don't even want them to know that I am here to take the postgraduate entrance examination."

You Su did as he was told and waited patiently for the study exam to begin.

"sit."

As an eyewitness, Fairy Lu naturally found Venerable Lotus Sword distasteful, and even disgusted the entire Lotus Peak. Even though the tenth elder had hinted to her, Zhenjun Yujing's real purpose was not to recruit the thirteenth elder, but to curb Shuxian Peak's dominance.

"I dare to ask Fairy Lu... Is there any dispute between Shuxian Peak and Lotus Peak?"

You Su shook his head honestly, "It was not written by me, but by a mortal scholar named Zhou."

Lu Xianzi sat down cross-legged on the seat, her white skirt covering the wooden board forming an elegant circle.

At this time, she stopped in front of the door of Zhuying Residence, turned around quietly, her jade face was solemn:
"Did you deliberately let those people gain momentum and force Shuxian Peak to let you go up the mountain?" Fairy Lu said simply.

"Did you write "Ai Lian Shuo"?" Lu Xianzi suddenly asked.

"Did you ask on purpose?" Lu Xianzi's voice was cold.

She could see that You Su really didn't know about that past incident, but she didn't want to waste time explaining it to You Su.

True Lord Yujing paid a great price to appease Shuxian Peak, and beautified the half of the mountain that had been brutally cut off into an unsolicited gift to the new star of swordsmanship, which became a good story for a while. Therefore, only some senior elders and some disciples of Shuxian Peak know the truth of this matter.

The noble female cultivator obviously didn't believe it, "In any case, your goal has been achieved. In fact, all the elders and deacons of Shuxian Peak are working together to compile a new law today, and no one has time to invigilate the exam. If someone else comes to take the postgraduate entrance examination, they can probably just say so. Yes, but it’s you. In order to prevent the interested people from thinking that I, Shuxian Peak, have no tolerance for people, I still withdrew. I hope you won’t waste my time.”

She had worshiped Shuxian Peak since she was a child, but when she was ten years old, the most majestic peak of Xuanxiao Sect was cut in half by that woman with a sword. However, that woman who acted rudely was attracted by the then sect leader, Zhenjun Yu Jing, and became the thirteenth elder of the Xuanxiao Sect.

You Su frowned, feeling that Fairy Lu was very malicious towards him, or in other words, towards Lianhua Peak.

She specializes in calligraphy, focusing on prose. Everyone is asking her about her evaluation of this passage. The only reason why she refuses to express her opinion is because the author is from Lotus Peak.

Fairy Lu didn't expect You Su to be so sincere, and she even gave up the idea of ​​continuing to ask harsh questions.

It's just that she is the best at prose. Of course, all essayists in the immortal world and the mortal world know about her, and I haven't remembered that anyone's name is Zhou Dunyi.

He was probably some wandering book writer who was depressed and frustrated. He occasionally expressed his feelings and was listened to by this blind man.

"If this article was not written by you, what gives you the confidence to take the practice exam? I'm going to say something ugly first, the practice exam is not a child's play. The loser will be announced, and if the score is too low, it will be regarded as deliberately disrupting the exam. Immortal Peak Order, be punished." Fairy Lu stared into You Su's eyes and added, "The standards of the exam will not be lowered just because you are blind."

You Su was not frightened at all, looking calm and composed. During the past three days, he had been studying exam-related content during his spare time. He already had an excellent memory, and coupled with the influence of the memory fragments from his childhood, he had sufficient confidence in himself.

"Fairy Lu, let's get started."

Lu Xianzi raised her eyebrows slightly, surprised by the calmness of this eighteen-year-old boy. He dared to take the study exam at such a young age. There are not many arrogant young writers in the world who are so brave. Not to mention that there are very few calligraphy geniuses on her calligraphy peak who have passed the examination at this age. But firstly, it is because the Shuxian Peak disciples do not need to teach others, and secondly, there are other more suitable tests to prove their talents.

"The study exam is a test for scholars to prove that they are qualified to be teachers. It is divided into five areas: etiquette, poetry, literature, history, and natural history. Which area do you want to test?"

"Poetry." You Su said firmly.

Lu Xianzi flipped her hands lightly, and a white silk suddenly appeared on the table. As her gestures changed, words slowly appeared on the white silk.

"These are questions that have been given a long time ago and are randomly selected. You can't see things, but I read them to you. Remember, don't spread your spiritual consciousness. It will be regarded as cheating and will be severely punished."

Seeing You Su nodding, Fairy Lu glanced at the questions in the paper, and her expression became serious without realizing it.

None of the questions above were easy, which made her doubt You Su's confidence.

But that was fine, she didn't believe that these reckless men who could only wield swords and swords could really pass the training test at such a young age. She didn't believe that a young man who was famous for his sword could teach people to write poetry. This very difficult test paper is proof of the value of studying for the exam.

"The exam lasts for one hour and has three questions in total. If you can satisfy me with all three answers, you will pass. If there are two questions, it will be handed over to other deacons to review the test paper and give an answer. If there is only one or even none, it will be considered Failure. Got it?”

You Su nodded.

Fairy Lu rang the ancient bell nearby to signal the start of the exam.

"Artistic conception, diction, implication, meter, and rhyme. According to the importance in your mind, rank these five criteria for evaluating poetry in order, and explain the reasons."

"Poems of Shaohua, paintings of the Eight Immortals, biography of Zuo Confucianism, history of Ming immortals, Qiong Tao's Notes, Hua Ge Sutra, Bei Mang Fu, eternal romance, set my mountain window. Write the next sentence."

"If ambition is not to seek glory, a shelf full of books will become a small hiding place; it is difficult to be close to the world, and a romantic garden will accompany a solitary chant. Understand the meaning of this couplet and compose a poem that requires the sentiment to be consistent with this couplet."

There are three questions, each more difficult than the last.

The first question is to test the candidate's understanding of poetry; the second question is to test the candidate's familiarity with these famous literati from five continents and their ability to communicate; and the third question is to test the candidate's ability to solve problems, refine ideas, and compose poems.

What's even more difficult is that the answer needs to be given within an hour. Yousu pondered silently. Unable to see, he simply closed his eyes, completely closing himself in and concentrating on thinking about his answer.

As time passed, Fairy Lu silently stared at the young man and shook her head slightly.

In her opinion, You Su had been thinking about it for most of an hour without even answering a single question, so he obviously couldn't pass the test.

Her only thought now is to make the answer sheet public when the time comes, so that others will not misunderstand that she, Shuxianfeng, is deliberately making things difficult for Yousu.

But at this moment, You Su suddenly opened his eyes, and these clear and unfocused eyes seemed to have energy.

"Fairy Lu, You Su is blind, can you dictate the answer?"

Lu Xianzi was stunned for a moment, then picked up a brush from the pen basket and threw it on the table. The writing brush actually stood up on the white silk fabric by itself, as if it would write automatically whenever You Su opened his mouth.

"Yes." Fairy Lu responded.

"My answer to the first question is equally important. Some people emphasize the rhythm but not the meaning, which is the corpse of the poem. Some people emphasize the meaning but not the rhythm, and then the format of the poem is lost..."

You Su spoke eloquently, and Fairy Lu raised her eyebrows in surprise. You Su's answer to the first question can't be said to be unexpected, but it can be considered a good answer. What really surprised her was that she didn't expect You Su to actually tell the answers to the three questions at the same time.

"The second question, the sun on the sea, the clouds in the western wilderness, the snow in the sky, the ever-high clouds, the moon in the jade ring, the smoke in Penglai, the rain in the south, the wonders of the universe, are painted on the wall of my studio."

Fairy Lu suddenly sat upright, but she didn't expect that You Su would encounter the outstanding cultural treasures in the history of the Five Continents with the spectacular and magnificent scenery of the Five Continents. It is round and polished and completed in one go, which is enough to show that You Su's knowledge is not shallow. Especially the last sentence makes people feel the ambition of You Su, a blind man, to one day see all the wonders of the Five Continents.

"The third question..."

"How is it?" Seeing You Su's hesitation, Fairy Lu asked curiously.

You Su hesitated for a moment, then chanted leisurely: "Don't listen to the sound of beating leaves in the forest, why not whistling and walking slowly. The bamboo stick and awning shoes are lighter than the horse, who is afraid? A misty rain behind the raincoat can be used for the rest of your life."

The steep spring breeze blows away the drunkenness, it is slightly cold, but the mountain tops are shining slantingly. Looking back at the desolate place where I came from, there was neither wind, rain nor sunshine. "

As soon as the word 'Qing' came out, Lu Xianzi was stunned on the spot.

Although You Su responded with words, the poems and words are not separate at all. You Su could perfectly understand the literati's desire to enjoy themselves in hardship and find another spiritual sustenance, and even raised this open-mindedness to such an unprecedented level that no one has ever done before or since. This made Lu Xianzi unable to evaluate this poem, only feeling that her own Knowledge is ashamed before it.

Even vaguely, Lu Xianzi felt that she had caught something, and her realm of becoming a feather began to loosen.

"Fairy Lu, I must admit that this poem is not original to me. It was written by a mortal calligrapher named Su Shi. I am ashamed to say that I did not write a poem that fits the meaning of the title." You Su Frankly.

Fairy Lu glanced at this clear and handsome young man uncertainly. She had also never heard of the scholar named Su Shi in You Su's mouth. At this time, she couldn't tell whether You Su's words were self-effacing or the truth.

I only know that if this young man stays at Shuxian Peak, he will definitely become a dazzling new star in the literary world. It's a pity... he is that woman's disciple. Did she deliberately find him to humiliate Shuxianfeng?
"Does this poem have a name?"

Lu Xianzi was immersed in the shock of this poem and had no intention of pursuing the truth of what the young man said.

"Determine the situation." You Su said every word.

Lu Xianzi suddenly threw a jade seal, feeling ashamed for what she had just thought. People who can understand this poem should not deliberately humiliate others.

She seemed to have shed all her nobility and sighed:

"You passed. From today on, you are a certified student of Shuxian Peak and can teach poetry."

……

You Su deliberately avoided the crowd and returned to Lotus Peak.

But on the stone tablet inscribed with those who passed the postgraduate entrance examination in Shuxian Peak, his name quickly appeared.

This shocked many people in Xuanxiao Sect, but also took it for granted. Many female cultivators fantasize about getting close to You Su in the name of studying poetry, but this has nothing to do with You Su. After all, his only purpose of passing the exam is to make his senior sister happy.

Fortunately, the senior sister came back the day after he obtained the trainee status.

There is no need to see or communicate, just by the sound of the girl's running footsteps, you can feel her joy and eagerness.

You Su also waved his arms in response to his senior sister's enthusiasm.

"Junior brother!" the girl shouted from afar.

"Are you okay, Senior Sister?" You Su asked with concern as soon as they met.

The girl with white hair and blue eyes and a mask that covers her face has not changed at all. Even the snow fox fur around her neck has not been stained with dust. She is still the graceful fairy who came from this world.

"I have something to do."

The girl seemed to want to get closer to You Su, but she was afraid that her junior brother would use the same old excuses to get out of the way, so she had to move cautiously in place to test You Su's 'bottom line'.

You Su noticed his senior sister's little movements. Unable to accept her excessive intimacy, he quietly leaned back and asked:

"Is the evil spirit so powerful? It can also hurt senior sister?"

Wangshu said apologetically, "I said something wrong because I missed my junior brother very much, so I quickly killed the evil spirit, but the mission of the elder is to catch him alive... so I was criticized by the elder."

You Su was a little envious of his senior sister for being able to express his feelings so frankly. He was encouraged by this and said from his heart:
"I miss you, senior sister, too."

"Really?" The girl blinked her crystal blue eyes.

Yousu Saran smiled, not wanting to have any more entanglements with the girl on the evil issue. After all, this was not something she was willing to do, and it was still under the circumstances that she had ruined the mission for herself.

"Since it was me who caused Senior Sister to fail in her mission, I will use this to apologize to Senior Sister." You Su took out the seal symbolizing Shuxian Peak's study from the Qiankun Bag, "Senior Sister, now I can teach you openly, The third elder can say nothing more."

Fairy Wangshu looked at the red seal in surprise, held You Su's hand, and said happily:

"Great! I can continue to learn how to hold the pipe!"

……

At the foot of the tall and majestic sacred mountain, a dusty girl in a green skirt wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked expectantly somewhere between the clouds and mist.

She smiled brightly and contentedly, and murmured:
"Senior brother, senior brother, don't be too surprised when you see me..."
