Lu Yu thought for a while, then stepped into the Jixia Academy Palace.
Outside Jixia Academy, there was only one gatekeeper. He looked like an old man who was sitting on the street and basking in the sun.
However, Lu Yu could feel the powerful magic power emitted from the gatekeeper's body.
The gatekeeper was actually a Mysterious Immortal!
Such a cultivation level, even if it was placed in the Imperial Court, could be conferred as a Marquis and pay respects to the Prime Minister!
However, such an expert was actually willing to sit in front of Jixia Academy and guard the door, and it was sufficient to see how attractive Jixia Academy was.
After showing the token that Li Si had given him, Lu Yu quickly passed through the place.
Lu Yu had already inquired about the place where Xun Sheng lived and went straight there.
Xun Sheng's residence was located in the deepest part of Jixia Academy, on a floating island in the air.
On the floating island, there was a plain and elegant farm yard. Two green willows were floating around with the breeze.
Simple and simple.
If they didn't see it with their own eyes, it would be hard for outsiders to imagine that the grand literary sage would actually live in such a simple and crude environment.
A long flight of stairs led straight to the floating island.
At this moment, at the entrance of the flight of stairs, there were actually more than fifty students sitting cross-legged on the table, writing something.
Many of them were already scratching their ears and cheeks, looking anxious. Even more so, their faces turned purple because overthinking had already hurt their spirits.
"You are also here to participate in the exam? Sit!"
A great scholar sat on the seat of honor. He had a kind expression, and his entire person exuded a carefree aura.
Lu Yu said, "This is my first time here. May I ask what kind of rules this place has?"
The great scholar said indifferently, "Simple. Answer the questions on the paper and then let this old man take a look. As long as it fits this old man's heart, you can enter."
"There are five people who have successfully entered today. Xun Sheng is currently teaching them. It has been two hours. If you don't hurry, I'm afraid you won't even be able to hear the ending. "
Immediately, a table was placed in front of Lu Yu, and there were papers, brushes, and ink on it.
Lu Yu only felt that the way in front of him was extremely novel.
It was very difficult for ordinary people to see a Saint. It was not because the saint was arrogant, but because he had reached the level of a literary saint. He was constantly thinking about the most profound problem between the heavens and the earth, so he didn't have the extra energy to waste on unimportant people.
In the past, in the Imperial Capital, the sage had informed them in advance before each lesson. At that time, the disciples would gather and attend the lecture.
The words of the Sage were truly precious.
Usually, just a few words could solve a person's problem, or even solve a problem that had troubled many people for a long time.
However, in front of him, Xun Sheng's teaching method was quite different.
Although he was teaching in public, he had prepared a threshold. Only those who had passed the threshold could enter.
Lu Yu was very curious and sat down immediately.
On the white paper, there was only a line of words -
"What is a gift?"
There were only three words, but they were vigorous and powerful. It was obvious that they were written by a calligraphy master.
Lu Yu looked at the students scratching their ears and cheeks once again, and he finally woke up.
The content of this examination was too abstract, and he did not know how to write it down.
The ritual had always been the pursuit of Confucian Sect cultivators. One of the Confucian Sect's Six Classics of the Middle Ancient Era was the 'ritual', a mandatory course for every Confucian Sect cultivator.
