This scholar is a bit cruel

Chapter 39 Genius
Ahead, at the edge of the cliff.

A huge stone as black as ink and about two meters high stood there!

The morning sun falls on it, smooth as jade.

The surface of the boulder was shining and flowing, as if it was filled with ink, and under the sunlight, it sparkled with deep and strange colors.

The boulder is surrounded by railings.

An ink-blue stone tablet stood on the front right side, with two lines of small characters written on it.

"The jewel of the temple, no one is allowed to approach."

Not far away, there is a thatched hut.

On the rocking chair in front of the house, sat a skinny old man in linen clothes. The old man was smoking a pipe with his eyes closed, rocking back and forth, looking very comfortable.

"That's Senior Niu, who is in charge of guarding this place."

"But he has a weird personality, so we don't need to bother him. Let's go directly to the Talent Gem."

Han Sanzhi spoke in a low voice.

It seemed that this bad-tempered old man was quite afraid of the old man.

Luo Zijun couldn't help but take a few looks out of curiosity.

The old man seemed to sense something, and without even raising his eyelids, he spoke directly, "This kid has a pair of peach blossom eyes, and his gaze is vulgar. It's obvious that he likes to flirt with women. Did you invite him to the academy to let him harm the female students and teachers in the academy?"

Luo Zijun: “…”

Is this old man blind? How is his gaze vulgar?
"Go, don't talk!"

Han Sanzhi and the others whispered a reminder and quickly took him to the huge rock in front.

The old man picked up the whip beside him and said, "Boy, you disturbed my sleep. If you can't pass the test today, I will beat you until your skin is torn!"

According to his rules, the students will be allowed to come together for verification after the college examination next month.

Han Sanzhi didn't dare to say anything and quickly pulled Luo Zijun away.

The group passed through the fence and came close to the boulder.

Han Sanzhi pointed to a light red palm mark on it and said, "Press your palm here, close your eyes, take three deep breaths, then open your eyes and look directly at the pupil mark above."

On top of the light red palm, there is a black pupil mark.

I didn't notice it from a distance, but when I looked at it up close, it was actually a bit creepy.

Luo Zijun raised his palm as instructed and gently placed it on the palm mark, then closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Han Sanzhi and others were extremely nervous at this moment.

If you can't pass, I'm afraid Senior Niu will really pick up the iron whip in his hand and beat you.

They didn't dare to stop it.

"I hope to break through the three levels..."

Several people prayed silently in their hearts.

Those who are admitted by special admission must at least reach the level of three-bo talent, otherwise they will not be considered passed.

Luo Zijun finished breathing, opened his eyes, and looked at the black pupil mark.

however.

After a while, the boulder showed no reaction at all.

Han Sanzhi and his companions looked puzzled.

"what happened?"

"Wow!"

At this moment, the surface of the boulder suddenly flashed with light, and a few large scarlet words slowly emerged.

Several people immediately held their breath and looked carefully.

All I saw were those big characters that read: "Stupid dick Sandou!"

"???"

Han Sanzhi and his companions were stunned.

Luo Zijun opened his mouth and was about to curse when the old man sitting in the rocking chair suddenly burst into laughter.

Han Sanzhi was stunned for a moment, then he realized that he was being fooled. He immediately didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly turned around and said, "Senior Niu, business is more important, please remove the ban quickly."

It turns out that this gem of talent had restrictions when it fell from the sky.

It can only be used after the ban is lifted.

When West Lake Academy was first established, an old Taoist priest came and broke the restriction on this gem of talent, and left behind a jade token that could be used to close the restriction at any time.

Since this Senior Niu took on the task of guarding, he has learned this trick from somewhere and often plays tricks on the students who come to verify.

Although everyone had some complaints, they did not dare to provoke him.

It is said that this Senior Niu was personally invited by the former dean, and even the current dean has to respectfully address him as "Senior". "I gave this kid three dou because I think highly of him! I'm afraid he doesn't even have two dou!"

The old man sneered and took out the jade token.

I saw a flash of light on the surface of the boulder, as if a layer of veil was removed, revealing a clearer, darker stone surface.

"Zijun, start over!"

Han Sanzhi said quickly.

Luo Zijun cursed in his heart, and had to raise his palm again, placed it on the palm mark, and closed his eyes.

After three breaths.

He opened his eyes and looked at the black pupil above.

"Shh!"

In an instant, he suddenly felt dizzy and his vision blurred!

That black pupil seemed to suck him in!
He felt his breathing stagnate, his heartbeat stopped, and it was as if his whole body was frozen!

"Wow!"

Suddenly, a flash of light appeared on the surface of the boulder, and several large scarlet characters appeared:
"Five buckets of talent!"

When Han Sanzhi and his companions saw these words, they were shocked and overjoyed!

"Five buckets of talent! Five buckets of talent!"

"Hahahaha, he's actually very talented! A genius! Our West Lake Academy has finally recruited a genius!"

Several people were very excited.

Han Sanzhi was so excited that his face turned red and his eyes were filled with tears.

Luo Zijun's mouth twitched, and he felt it was outrageous.

Why do I feel like I’m fighting a lot, with a feeling of “Don’t look down on the young and poor”?
not far away.

After reading these words, the old man sitting in the rocking chair looked at the young man under the boulder again, then closed his eyes and continued to smoke his pipe and rock his chair.

"Zijun, let's go! Let's make you a student nameplate!"

"I have to report this matter to the higher-ups immediately!"

Several people surrounded Luo Zijun and left with excitement.

Han Sanzhi glanced at the old man in the rocking chair with a smile on his face.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Luo Zijun suddenly looked at the old man and said, "Senior Niu, smoking is harmful to health. There was an old man in my hometown who died at a young age of over 150 years old. It was because of smoking."

When these words were spoken, Han Sanzhi and the others were shocked again.

This kid!
The old man suddenly opened his eyes slowly, smoke coming out of his mouth and nose. He squinted at him and said, "One hundred and fifty years old, that's really young, what a pity..."

As he said this, he picked up the iron whip again.

Han Sanzhi's face changed, and he quickly pulled Luo Zijun to run, whispering: "Boy, are you tired of living? I told you not to mess with this guy!"

The old man narrowed his eyes and watched them fleeing in a hurry. He frowned and muttered to himself: "It just so happens that I am also 150 years old this year..."

Luo Zijun was pulled away, but he was thinking secretly in his heart.

The sleight of hand that Senior Niu just used was most likely some kind of magic from this world, but Mr. Han and these teachers didn't seem to know it.

So, he deliberately left some impression on the other party.

If there is a chance, maybe I can come and find out from this senior Niu.

"Mr. Han, I think that the matter regarding Zijun should not be disclosed to anyone for the time being. Only the dean and a few others should know about it."

"After the college entrance examination next month, it will be the day for exchanges with Linfeng Academy and other academies. We will announce it on the spot then..."

"Yes! During the exchange the year before last and last year, the new disciples that Linfeng Academy admitted as an exception were always better than us! This year, I heard that they have admitted two more as an exception. When the time comes, they will definitely want to embarrass us in front of those people at the exchange meeting..."

"Humph! Then we'll catch them off guard!"

"I heard that this time, people from the Inner City Academy and the four major families will come to participate..."

After listening to this, Han Sanzhi hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "I will go to the dean and tell him before making a decision."

Shangguan Chao whispered, "Zijun, don't reveal the fact that I have five buckets of talent for the time being."

Luo Zijun nodded.

He didn't take it seriously at all.

No matter how talented you are, you look awesome, but in fact you can’t practice it.

Looks good but looks useless!
After getting his student badge, he decided to visit the library.

Perhaps there, one can find some clues on how to use one's talents for cultivation.
