Chapter 52 Bamboo Forest
In the next few days, Chen Luo went out early and came back late.
He gradually adapted to the life in the academy.
With the help of the superposition of more than one hundred brains, he quickly mastered all the knowledge on the desk outside.
Medicine, divination, astrology, image, book, formation, elixir, and instrument.
In this process, Chen Luo also discovered the second characteristic of the golden finger. The brains collected in his body would persist for different lengths of time when reading different knowledge. For example, the brain of the Nineteenth Young Master would persist for about ten minutes when reading the knowledge related to formation, but if it was changed to the knowledge of refining instruments and alchemy, the time would be shortened to about seven minutes. The same is true for the other royal brain, and even the brains of those unqualified Jianghu masters will also have changes in "preferences".
"I'm going to try to visit the teacher."
On the left side of Chen Luo, the two young scholars who had been discussing the formation did not discuss the problem today, but were going to try to become apprentices.
They were on the third floor of the book pavilion, exposed to completely different knowledge from the people below, and seemed to be superior, but this knowledge was still at the "ordinary" level. Only by passing the test of the door behind can one be qualified to contact the real "immortal inheritance", which is also the reason for the existence of Bailong Academy.
Selecting disciples for Baixian Cave, or in other words, selecting disciples for the immortal of Baixian Cave.
"Go, this is the last chance, grasp it well."
The friend who played chess with the young scholar did not refute him today, but encouraged him.
A person has three chances.
This is the rule set by the academy. After three times, the chance will be completely lost, and this life is destined to have no chance with "immortality".
Chen Luo also looked over.
With his current eyesight, looking at what the two scholars have learned, it is natural that there are many mistakes and omissions. These two people are just like ordinary people, and they do not have the qualifications to cultivate immortals. Although the ending is cruel, many things are destined from the beginning.
In the past few days, Chen Luo has seen everyone in the book pavilion.
Except for the young man who laughed at him that day, everyone else is an ordinary person, without the qualifications to cultivate immortals.
This is the common people.
Chen Luo was originally a member of the common people, but he was lucky enough to get the opportunity to change his fate.
He also had a jade book of Baixian Cave. At first, he planned to go in directly with bamboo slips to listen to the three-month Taoism, but he changed his mind after coming to Bailong Academy.
These basic knowledge are very important to him, and it is best to learn them in advance.
If he went directly with the jade book to listen to the Taoism, it is estimated that most of the time would be wasted on learning these basic knowledge. At that time, the result would most likely be the same as that of the Nineteenth Young Master, the first trip was in vain.
The young scholar walked to the front of the bamboo door.
This door is at the back door of the book pavilion and looks ordinary. But when the young scholar walked to the door, his steps suddenly stopped, cold sweat began to seep out of his forehead, and his eyes became scattered, as if he saw some incomprehensible knowledge.
‘Failed. ’
Chen Luo knew the result after just reading the beginning. Because the place where the young scholar stepped on was the key point of the formation. Not only his feet, but the entire room of the book pavilion on the third floor is part of the formation. If you want to pass through the bamboo door, you must see through this point, otherwise it is absolutely impossible to succeed if you only focus on the small part of the bamboo door.
Bang!
Sure enough, after ten breaths, the young scholar's steps became weak, and he fell to the ground with a bang and fainted.
His friend next to him quickly stepped forward to help him up.
"Thank you, Brother Sun."
It took a long time for the young scholar to wake up, but he couldn't hide the disappointment in his eyes.
His last chance also failed. The family would definitely not give him resources in the future. There was no hope for the rest of his life. Although the rest of his life was still rich and glorious, how many people who had seen the higher scenery were willing to be mediocre.
"People should accept their fate."
A noble young man in a blue gown walked by and commented indifferently when he saw the two people falling to the ground.
"You! Tian Yonglu, don't be too proud."
The young scholar's friend couldn't help but raise his finger and pointed at the noble young man and scolded him.
"You and I are destined to be separated by the immortals and mortals. Getting angry can't change the predetermined fate. Cherish your life for a hundred years. In the future, I will go to your grave to burn two more pieces of paper money."
The elegant young man Tian Yonglu looked at the two with pity, and then walked towards the bamboo gate.
Amid the gaze of the crowd, the young man with eyes on his forehead paused for a few breaths, and actually walked over.
The moment his footsteps fell, he disappeared out of thin air as if he had stepped on a teleportation array.
"Can the knowledge of magic tools be used?"
Chen Luo was a little surprised.
The method that Tian Yonglu used to pass the bamboo gate was actually the knowledge of refining tools. However, this also made Chen Luo understand that it turned out that the knowledge on the table could pass the bamboo gate test as long as he understood one book, and the level of understanding would be enough.
After understanding the test of the bamboo gate, Chen Luo did not stay in the book pavilion.
He had already learned the basic knowledge in the book pavilion.
It would be a waste of time to stay here. It was time to go to the Baixian Cave behind to practice the real immortal way.
Amid the doubts, shock, and dull eyes of the crowd, Chen Luo walked over easily without even pausing, as if he had really just crossed an ordinary bamboo door.
"Another person passed by..."
"It seems that this person came in through the Tiger Power Escort Agency."
"Destiny, destiny! Is this destiny?"
A group of people in the pavilion looked unwilling, and some of them even got hot-headed and rushed towards the bamboo door. Unfortunately, if they didn't have the qualifications, they wouldn't be able to succeed if they tried hard.
"Huh? You're actually here too."
As soon as he passed the bamboo gate, Chen Luo heard a familiar voice.
It was Tian Yonglu, the young master who laughed at him for his grandstanding a few days ago, but this time Tian Yonglu looked at him no longer with contempt, but with equal treatment.
"I apologize for teasing you a few days ago."
Tian Yonglu bowed to Chen Luo cautiously.
"Um?"
Chen Luo was a little surprised.
I didn't expect that Tian Yonglu would be so shameless and apologize as soon as he said he was sorry.
"Brother, if you can pass the test of the Bamboo Gate, it proves that you are also qualified. In the future, you and I may have the opportunity to support each other on the Immortal Road. Naturally, some grudges in the world should be cut off as soon as possible to avoid minor mistakes. It greatly influenced the subsequent journey to immortality.”
When Tian Yonglu saw this, he opened his mouth to explain to Chen Luo.
Chen Luo nodded, indicating that he didn't take it to heart.
The two looked forward. Behind the bamboo gate was a small road with cobblestones on the ground. It looked no different from the road in a farmyard.
"Xiandao, here I come!"
Tian Yonglu suppressed his excitement and walked forward first.
Chen Luo followed behind without saying a word. He knew that cultivating immortals would not be that simple.
The Nineteenth Young Master is also qualified and has been to Baixiandong once, but he also failed to stay.
The first level of the Bamboo Gate assessment of Baixian Cave. Passing it means you have the qualifications, but whether this qualification can allow you to enter the immortal path is another level of assessment.
The two walked one behind the other and soon passed through the cobblestone path and arrived at a bamboo forest.
There was a group of people sitting in the bamboo forest, and in the middle there was an old man in a white shirt sitting cross-legged. This man has white beard and white hair, and is wearing a plain white gown. He is just like the immortal who walked out of the painting, otherworldly.
There were about a dozen people sitting around, and everyone was listening carefully to the old man's story.
Some people closed their eyes and meditated, while others scratched their heads and ears.
It is obviously the same content, but in the ears of these people here, it seems to have become a completely different truth.
When Chen Luo and Tian Yonglu saw this, they stopped talking and did not dare to say anything more.
The two walked quickly into the bamboo forest and sat down at the outermost position.
The old man ignored them the whole time. He just sat in the middle and preached to himself. None of the students sitting around looked back.
Everyone is immersed in their own world and ignores the outside world.
