This scholar is a bit cruel

Chapter 38 Talent
"Zijun, I apologize to you."

After Han Sanzhi said this, his face turned red and he was ready to kneel down.

In a fit of rage, he said he would kneel down and apologize.

He has always been a man of integrity, and once he has said something, he will never go back on his word.

"Mr. Han, no!"

Seeing this, Luo Zijun hurriedly supported him.

If this old man were really forced to kneel down, he would probably not be able to stay in West Lake Academy anymore.

However, he couldn't help but admire her in his heart.

The old man kept his word and actually knelt down to him without hesitation.

"Mr. Han, you absolutely cannot do that!"

When the others saw this, they were also shocked and hurried over to stop it.

Shangguan Chao hugged him directly.

"Mr. Han, angry words should not be taken seriously!"

Han Sanzhi's face flushed as he struggled: "What do you mean by angry words can't be taken seriously? A man without faith cannot stand. Now that I have spoken, I must keep it!"

"Get out of the way! Let me kneel down!"

Everyone hurried to persuade him.

"Mr. Han, it would be great if the misunderstanding was resolved. There is no need to be like this."

"You are so old, you must not kneel down."

"If you really kneel down, Zijun will be criticized by everyone in the future!"

Several people talked until their mouths were dry, but Han Sanzhi just refused to give in. He became furious and struggled even more fiercely.

The few people looked for help and had to look at the young man in the room again.

Luo Zijun could only say: "Mr. Han, you did say to kneel down, but I didn't agree. If there is no promise, then there is no such thing, and there is no such thing as faith or disfavor."

Han Sanzhi said angrily: "I keep my word! I..."

"Mr. Han."

Luo Zijun interrupted him: "If you really kneel down to me, it would be unfair to me. If others knew about it, how could I stay in this academy in the future?"

Han Sanzhi blushed and said, "I have lived for most of my life and have never broken my promise to anyone..."

Luo Zijun said: "I have lived for half of my life, and I have never been treated so harshly by an elder. Could it be that Mr. Han still thinks that I am not qualified to be admitted as an exception, so he did this on purpose to force me away?"

"Bullshit! You...you..."

"In that case, then Elder Han, please don't embarrass me."

“This old man… this old man…”

Han Sanzhi was suddenly speechless.

He has been a teacher for so many years and has always kept his word.

Let him just let it go, he really can't do it.

But he also understands.

If he really knelt down, then the boy would be finished.

Nowadays, teachers and masters represent fathers.

How could a father kneel down to his son?

If this were to be told to others, not only would all the teachers and students in the school point fingers at this young man and scold him, but his future would probably also be ruined.

"Mr. Han, you are the elder."

Luo Zijun said very solemnly.

"If you really kneel down to me, you will feel relieved that you have kept your word, but it will harm me. Can you bear to see such a talented and handsome young man like me ruined in your hands?"

"puff……"

The people around couldn't help but laugh.

Shangguan Chao said with a smile: "If you can talk, just say more! If you can make Mr. Han laugh, we will all apologize to you together!"

Han Sanzhi couldn't help himself and scolded with a smile: "Go away!"

With this smile, the atmosphere suddenly changed.

After a few more jokes, Han Sanzhi took the opportunity to back off and gave up the idea of ​​kneeling.

But an apology still needs to be said.

"Zijun, I am old and blind. I can no longer judge people or articles. Your teachers Yuan and Shangguan are really good. They saw your amazing talent at a glance. I apologize to you here. Please don't take it to heart. If you still have resentment in your heart, you can scold me or punch me. I am willing to do it and no one else will know."

Han Sanzhi apologized sincerely.

Luo Zijun quickly bowed and said, "Mr. Han, your words are too harsh. I misunderstood you and my words were offensive. I should apologize."

Shangguan Chao at the side said with a smile: "Alright, alright, we are all family from now on, so stop being polite. Mr. Han, let's take Zijun to verify it."

"verify?"

Luo Zijun was puzzled.

Yuan Mang was afraid that he might misunderstand, so he quickly smiled and said, "Zijun, it's not that we don't believe in your true talent. Only after it has been verified by the talent gem can we make a student nameplate for you. After all, the nameplate must be engraved with your current scholar level."

Han Sanzhi explained with a smile: "The talent level of a scholar can only be accurately judged by the talent gem. Zijun, judging from the talent on your test paper just now, your talent as a scholar must be more than three buckets. Let's go and take a look."

Shangguan Chao hurriedly asked, "Mr. Han, should we place the seal first?"

Han Sanzhi slapped his head and said, "I almost forgot!"

Then, he quickly took out the seal from the drawer and stamped it on the admission letter.

Yuan Mang smiled and said, "Zijun, after the seal is placed, you will officially become a student of my West Lake Academy. Even if you fail the verification of the talent gem later, it doesn't matter."

Han Sanzhi put away the seal and said, "With Zijun's talent, there should be no problem. If you fail, it may be because the test paper is too short, don't worry about it. For the student nameplate, you don't need to engrave the level for the time being."

Luo Zijun asked the question in his heart.

"Teachers, what is a talent gem? How is a talent gem verified? What does it mean that the test time is too short?" Several people were stunned.

Shangguan Chao was surprised and asked, "Zijun, don't you know all this? Scholars, especially those preparing to enter the academy, should all know this."

Luo Zijun was a little embarrassed.

Just as he was about to explain, Han Sanzhi waved his hand and said, "Let's go to the Talent Gem and talk as we walk."

Several people nodded and hurried to open the door.

The group went out, went downstairs from the attic, and headed towards the back mountain.

"Talent gems come in both natural and artificial forms, and they can clearly distinguish the talent level of each scholar. When you took the exam to become a scholar, the examiner also had the most basic talent gem in his hand, which could tell whether you had reached the threshold of becoming a scholar."

"Of course, the talent gem can also make mistakes. At this time, a talented examiner is needed to distinguish them. The combination of the two is the safest."

"Whenever a scholar writes an article, as long as three or more people read it, it will generate talent, and the talent gem can be captured."

"Zijun, this is what we mean when we let you take the test first."

"The questions on those test papers are all questions that can stimulate the talent of the students to the greatest extent. Once they are completed, the talent will be stimulated. Then, if they are verified with the talent gem, they can make more accurate judgments."

"However, some exam papers are special and may require more time to fully stimulate the talents of the candidates..."

Luo Zijun listened carefully and was secretly amazed.

I didn't expect that there would be such strange and bizarre things in this world's imperial examinations.

He had read books in a bookstore before, but had not seen such a detailed explanation.

Talent has levels, just like martial arts.

Then, it can certainly be used to slay demons and protect oneself.

"Mr. Han, how should scholars use their talents to fight?"

He couldn't help but ask.

Unexpectedly, after he said this, Han Sanzhi and the others stopped and looked at him with confusion.

"fighting?"

"Using your talents to fight?"

"Zijun, who told you that talent can be used in combat?"

"A gentleman uses words instead of fists. We scholars value peace and reason. How can we fight?"

Several people were very surprised.

Luo Zijun: “???”

Han Sanzhi couldn't help but laugh and said, "When Zijun talks about fighting, you should be bickering, right? That's fine. We scholars do love to bicker. For some articles, we often argue until our faces turn red and we can't help ourselves. We may even swear and curse. Occasionally, we may even get physical."

Luo Zijun was stunned.

Can't you fight with talent? Can't you fight, can't you kill demons?

If you encounter a goblin, can’t you protect yourself?

Then why the hell am I reading a chicken book!
"Let's go, we're just ahead."

They smiled and continued walking forward.

Luo Zijun's mood suddenly fell to the lowest point.

If you can't practice while studying and can't defend yourself against enemies, then how can you protect yourself if you encounter monsters?

It seems that I can only continue practicing martial arts.

wrong!

The voice in my mind clearly said that great talent can suppress demons!
If scholars cannot deal with monsters physically, how can they suppress them?

Could it be that if you encounter a monster, you can spit out poetry or sweet smells to scare the monster away?

in this way:

"That snake demon! I am Luo Zijun, a student of West Lake Academy. I have talent in my belly and literary skills in my heart. I am proficient in poetry, songs, and playing musical instruments! If you don't stay away from Xu Xian, don't blame me for starting to recite poetry, songs, and play musical instruments!"

"From a distance, Mount Tai looks dark, thin on top and thick at the bottom..."

"I'll send you away, beyond the end of the world..."

What an idiot!
Thinking of that scene, Luo Zijun suddenly felt so embarrassed that he wanted to crawl into the crack.

"Forget it. I'll go to the library after I finish my work. Maybe there will be new discoveries there."

I can only comfort myself this way.

If it really doesn't work, then I can only continue to work hard on practicing martial arts.

Practice martial arts well and find a chance to find some good skills...

Suddenly, he thought of the monk Fahai again!

That monk knows magic...

wrong!

Don’t let the stories you’ve watched on TV influence you!

The Fahai here does not necessarily know magic.

He had to find a chance to see it with his own eyes.

If the other party really knows magic, then he might be able to take something in exchange for some cultivation techniques.

Buddhist verses, Buddhist scriptures and so on.

The voice in his mind gave him this physique, amazing brain power, and he seemed to have a photographic memory, remembering almost all the books he had read before.

"Zijun, that is the gem of talent."

Just as he was daydreaming, several people stopped and Yuan Mang pointed to a huge rock in front of him with a smile on his face.

"This is the only natural gem of talent in our outer city."

"Standing for a thousand years!"
