Meet the Gentleman

Chapter 1187 Untitled
In fact, considering Chen Ya's age, and his status and position over the years, it was indeed difficult for him to call a young lady in the bachelor's realm "senior sister". Moreover, the other party was not a human, but just an intelligent little fox.

But after he shouted it out, he found that it was true.

After he let go of worldly affairs, his state of mind underwent some subtle changes and his vision seemed to have become higher.

"Senior, how much time has passed now?"

Tu Ning didn't take the fact that the other party called her Senior Sister seriously. After a pause, she added, "How long has it been since the Twenty-Seven Book Mountain appeared?"

"Probably about seven or eight days."

Chen Ya thought for a moment and said.

He had been in the Book Mountain for several days. During these days, he studied hard without sleep or food, and he was not sure how much time had passed. However, he was very sure that it was about seven or eight days, and definitely not more than ten days.

They are not the only two in this mountain of books.

In addition to Chen Ya's eldest disciple, there are four other great Confucian disciples, all of whom are at the foot of Renshan Mountain.

And they were almost on the mountainside.

Not only was the mountain of books shrouded in mist, but the many books and ancient scrolls also blocked their views like flowers and trees.

"Only seven or eight days?" Tu Ning was a little surprised and said, "I thought it had been two or three months." Then, she looked at Chen Yayan and said, "Hello, senior. My name is Tu Ning. May I ask your name?"

"Junior brother Chen Ya, courtesy name Guanlan, Senior Sister Tu can just call me Chen Ya."

Chen Ya smiled and found that his mentality had become younger. He felt relaxed all over, as if he had returned to his youth.

It feels good and special.

"..."

Tu Ning was stunned again, somewhat puzzled as to why the other party called her Senior Sister, and said, "Why do you call me Senior Sister, Senior? I don't deserve it. Not to mention that your knowledge far exceeds that of Ning, even in terms of age, I am still a junior..."

"Ya has already accepted Mr. An as his master. Senior Sister Tu entered the teacher's fold before Ya, so she is naturally his senior sister."

Chen Ya explained.

"Oh~"

Tu Ning suddenly realized, and without thinking too much, he said: "Mr. Chen, there is no need to do this, you can just call me Tu Ning. In the academy, people are usually addressed according to age, the elders are called brother, sir, teacher..."

"also."

Chen Ya didn't care too much and said, "Just call me Guanlan."

"May I ask your honorific title? You are an elder, how can I just call you by your given name? That is very disrespectful." Tu Ning said.

"We are all disciples of the teacher, so how can we be disrespectful?"

Chen Ya said.

"Since we are both disciples of the teacher, I would rather call you Brother Guanlan." Tu Ning smiled and said, "Brother Guanlan, where are you from? Did you come to the academy these days?"

"Ya is from Middle-earth, and indeed he just came to the academy in the past few days."

Chen Ya nodded.

"Middle Earth? Are you from Middle Earth? I heard that Middle Earth is very far away from our Great Song, at least tens of thousands of miles away." Tu Ning was a little surprised, and immediately became interested, and said: "Brother Guanlan, can you tell me about the customs and people of Middle Earth? I heard that Middle Earth is very prosperous..."

"Why not?"

Chen Ya smiled and started talking directly.

Nine days have passed since the Twenty-Seven Book Mountain came into the world.

There are quite a few people who have seen the Twenty-Seven Book Mountains now, at least hundreds or thousands, but only seven people can enter the mountain.

Six of them are Master Chen Ya and his disciples.

Around the hall, in the square, on the lawn, under the shade of trees, etc., there were many students sitting cross-legged.

They are all striving to see or enter the Twenty-Seven Books Mountain.

During these nine days, many scholars came from all over the Song Dynasty, making the Academy Town and Sandalwood Academy full of people. However, because it was difficult to see the Book Mountain, and it was even more difficult to enter the Book Mountain, many students were dissatisfied...

"Haha, this twenty-seven book mountains, is it just a trick?"

A student from far away said.

"If you can't enter the Book Mountain, no matter how good it is, it is useless to the world." Another student said, "I just can't understand why Mr. An set such a high threshold. The academy doesn't have a high threshold, so why does the Book Mountain have a threshold?"

"Even the would-be great scholars can't get in. The threshold is really too high."

"How many quasi-great scholars are there in the Song Dynasty?"

"good."

Whether it was the academy town or the bamboo house by the Wei River, many students expressed their dissatisfaction. The temptation of the Twenty-Seven Book Mountains to them was really great, but they could not enter, so they could only ask Mr. An to set the threshold lower, preferably at the scholar level.

And having no threshold is also not good.

In the garden at the rear hall of the academy, Feng Qingyan drank tea and read books, and his days were very quiet.

The Seventh Princess was serving on the side. After pondering for a long time, she could not help but speak up: "Teacher, there are many students outside the palace who are asking that the threshold of the Book Mountain be set lower."

"Do you think there is a threshold to the mountain of books?"

Feng Qingyan asked.

The Seventh Princess was stunned, and asked in confusion: "Is there no threshold to enter the Book Mountain? Now more than ten days have passed, and only nine people have entered the Book Mountain. Except for Tu Ning and Mr. Ning, they are all great scholars, and they are all disciples of the Holy Academy. I heard that Chen Sheng's eldest disciple is also a great sage..."

“So, the threshold for Shushan is very high?”

Feng Qingyan Road.

The seventh princess nodded.

"In fact, there is no threshold to the Book Mountain. No matter you are a great scholar, a student who has not yet opened up the world in your mind, or an ordinary person, everyone can enter." Feng Qingyan said lightly, "It's just that you are the ones who keep the Book Mountain away from you, not the Book Mountain that keeps you away. As long as you understand this principle, the Book Mountain will be right in front of you."

"We keep the mountain of books thousands of miles away?"

The Seventh Princess was somewhat stunned and puzzled, so she began to think about it, but still didn't quite understand, and said, "Teacher, I still don't quite understand. I don't feel that I have rejected the mountain of books thousands of miles away."

"Well, then think about it slowly. It will be meaningless if I tell you." Feng Qingyan smiled and said, "However, you must remember that Shushan does not reject anyone. Whether you are a human, a demon, a spirit, or a ghost or monster, Shushan will not reject you. As long as you are determined to study, you will eventually be able to enter Shushan."

"The disciple understands."

The Seventh Princess had no choice but to nod.

At this moment, Feng Qingyan stood up and said as he walked: "The path to the mountain of books is made through diligence, and the boat to the boundless sea of ​​learning is made through hard work."

Not long after, the Seventh Princess spread Feng Qingyan's words, which made many students either surprised, stunned, puzzled, or unbelieving...

"Is it me who rejected Shushan? When did I reject Shushan? I want to enter Shushan so much that I am going crazy." Some students were still dissatisfied and said, "Is it me who rejected Shushan? It is obviously Shushan that rejected me."

"I didn't reject Shushan, why did Mr. An say that I rejected Shushan?"

"Shushan doesn't reject anyone?"

"Since Shushan does not reject anyone, why are only nine people allowed to enter now?"

When the Seventh Princess spread Feng Qingyan's words, some people believed it, but many people still did not believe it. Those who believed it were thinking about the question of "rejection" and how they rejected Shushan.

"Brother Chen, you don't really believe it, do you?"

"Why don't you believe it? This is what Mr. An said. How could Mr. An lie to us?"

"Then tell me, how did we reject the mountain of books? Ask yourself, whether it is me or you, have you ever rejected the mountain of books?"

"uncertain."

"Not necessarily? What's not necessarily?" "Touching the deepest part of my heart, it might really be myself who rejected the mountain of books..."

"absurd!"

"No! In fact, it was us who rejected the mountain of books."

At this moment, the student seemed to suddenly understand something, and immediately looked towards the Twenty-Seven Books Mountain. Although he had seen the Twenty-Seven Books Mountain earlier, he had never been able to enter...

"Ah--"

"It is indeed us who rejected the mountain of books."

The student spoke again, and then his figure quickly disappeared, leaving the students around him stunned.

"Brother Chen?"

"Is this entering the Book Mountain?"

"No way, is it really us who rejected Shushan? What is going on? Brother Chen? Please tell us what is going on. If you don't tell us, how can we understand?"

But at this time, Brother Chen had already entered the mountain of books and could no longer answer them.

As time passed, more and more students entered the mountain of books.

This stunned many students.

"Could it be that we really rejected Shushan? But I can't understand it. I clearly didn't reject Shushan."

"I don't understand it either. It feels too profound."

“Who can tell me?”

Unfortunately, the students who want to figure it out have already entered a mountain of books.

The number of students in the Twenty-Seven Book Mountains gradually increased, reaching more than 30. Some students got tired of reading in Ren Mountain and went to other book mountains.

but.

Every mountain of books will make them marvel.

In addition to reading, Tu Ning would go to chat with Chen Ya, mainly to listen to Chen Ya talk about the customs and culture of Middle-earth.

Chen Ya basically always says...

There are endless books to read.

A month later, Tu Ning finally came out of the Book Mountain. When people in the square found her, they immediately surrounded her and asked about the situation in the Book Mountain. After all, she was the first person to enter the Book Mountain and the first person to come out of the Book Mountain.

"Sister Tu, what is the Book Mountain like?"

"Senior Sister Tu, what can we do to enter Shushan? Mr. An said that we rejected Shushan, but we didn't reject Shushan."

"Mrs. Tu, is this mountain of books high?"

"Excuse me, what does it mean that we rejected Shushan?"

People from all around rushed over frantically and surrounded Tu Ning, making him completely confused and not knowing what was going on.

However, Tu Ning was not flustered. After letting everyone quiet down, he talked about his feelings.

Soon after she left the square, the Seventh Princess came to ask how to enter the Book Mountain, but Tu Ning's answer left the Seventh Princess helpless, because Tu Ning replied that she would automatically enter the Book Mountain just by looking at it.

"Sister Ning, you are so amazing."

In a courtyard, Tu Lu hugged Tu Ning and said excitedly, "You said that you are now a fourth-rank scholar? Tsk tsk, it's only been three years, how many realms have you broken through? If the world knew, they would definitely not believe it."

"He is just a fourth-rank scholar."

Tu Ning waved his hand and then asked about Chen Ya. After getting the answer, he was shocked, "He, he is a saint?"

"Yes, he didn't say it?" Tu Lu said, "Well, I guess Chen Sheng wouldn't say it himself. Ha, although Chen Sheng is a saint, he worships Mr. An as his master. Mr. An is so powerful that he actually accepted a saint as his disciple."

"I see, that's no wonder."

Tu Ning said.

At this time, Tu Lu excitedly talked about Chen Ya's ascension to the sainthood, such as the auspicious clouds appearing in the world and the dancing of words, and finally said: "You entered the Book Mountain too early and could not see Chen Ya's ascension to the sainthood. This ascension is indeed as recorded in the ancient books, with many holy images appearing in the world, which is extremely amazing. Do you know how many people have come to the academy now, wanting to pay homage to Chen Ya? The carriages are all lined up in the academy town."

"However, the most powerful one is still Mr. An..."

"Teacher actually accepted a saint as his disciple." Tu Ning was quite shocked and said, "Although Chen Sheng may have become a saint because of the Junxing Stele, why did the teacher directly accept Chen Sheng as his disciple? This, this..."

"Why not?" Tu Daolu, "By the way, do you know that people are sitting under the Junxing Monument every day? I heard that some people even fought over the position where Chen Ya stood. Tsk tsk, the academy is bustling now..."

Right now, it is really difficult to find a seat under the Junxing Monument, and even the gate is almost blocked.

This is, after all, sanctified ground.

"By the way, what does the Twenty-Seven Book Mountain look like?" Tu Lu finally asked. He was also very curious about the book mountain, and his face was full of expectation. "Tell me about it quickly."

"There's actually nothing much to say about this. You'll understand once you get in. It's huge, as huge as the heaven and earth. It seems that everything in the heaven and earth is contained here." Tu Ning frowned and thought for a while, "Moreover, as long as you read all the twenty-seven books, you can indeed become a sage. Moreover, this sage is not the sage we understand, but a higher existence."

"Uh, that's it?"

Painted Deer Road.

"I can't explain it clearly. You will understand it best if you enter it yourself."

Tu Ning said.

"But I can't get in." Tu Lu said with a bitter face, "Then tell me, how did you get in? By the way, Mr. An said that it was actually us who rejected Shushan, not Shushan who rejected us..."

Tu Ning thought about it seriously, then shook his head and said, "I don't quite understand."

"Then you can come in?"

"I don't know. I went in for no apparent reason."

"Uh……"

In the blink of an eye, several months passed.

Finally, more and more students entered the mountain of books, exceeding a hundred people.

However, compared with the students who flocked in from all over the place, the number is pitifully small. Now, there are 30,000 to 40,000 students living in Sandalwood Academy.

If we add in the number of students who came and left, the number would exceed 100,000.

but.

All students who come out of the mountain of books will basically break through a realm, or even break through several realms.

After Ning Song emerged from the mountain of books, he finally became a great scholar, the fifth great scholar of the Song Dynasty...

But becoming a great scholar was not a big deal in Sandalwood Academy, and it did not even cause any sensation.

Because before he became a great scholar, someone became a great sage.

This person is Chen Ya's disciple, the fifth disciple, and one of the five great scholars. Moreover, Chen Ya has more than one disciple who has become a great scholar...

Therefore, Ning Song's becoming a great scholar was nothing special in Sandalwood Academy.

Breaking through the realm has become a very common thing in Sandalwood Academy.
