No matter how natural the flattery is, sometimes it will make the person receiving the flattery feel a little embarrassed, and shame will make it easy to get angry. What's more, the person he is facing today is the second senior fellow in the academy. At this important moment, Ning Que will never let the other person have it.

There was no chance for him to react, think about it, and wake up. He randomly selected something from his mind and asked doubtfully: "Second senior brother, on my way back to Beijing from the grassland with Princess Li Yu last year, I once met a Dongxuan realm man at the entrance of Minshan North Mountain.

The great swordsman, some say he is an abandoned disciple on the second floor of the academy..."

"How can it be so easy to enter the back mountain of the academy? Now that you are in, how can you get out so easily?"

The second senior brother said: "Wealth has distant relatives in the mountains. There are many stupid people in the world who always want to have some relationship with the academy to reaffirm their identity. I don't know how many second-floor abandoned disciples will emerge every year. Could it be that every time they appear, I

Is the academy going to announce that there is no such person in the world?"

"I'm just worried that these people with high status will ruin the reputation of the academy." What Ning Que said was his true thoughts.

The second senior brother mocked and said: "Those who know will naturally know. As for those who are not qualified to know, no matter what their thoughts are and what qualifications they have to affect the reputation of our academy, you should not pay attention to such things in the future."

Listening to these words, Ning Que thought with emotion in his heart. He finally felt the pride of his second senior brother. It was indeed a very fierce pride.

With thoughts in his mind and vision in his eyes, the second senior brother noticed the meaning in his eyes, thinking that this new junior junior brother was shocked by what he saw and heard today, and was a little confused. He calmly said with relief: "The mountain behind the academy,

In other words, the second floor is actually not as mysterious as the world spreads. This is where the dean teaches students, it’s as simple as that.”

…

…

"Do you feel helpless?"

"yes."

"Do you think that Second Senior Brother is really boring and does everything in a rigid manner?"

"yes."

"Do you think his crown and hat look like a mallet?"

"After looking at it for a long time, sometimes I suddenly feel that the crown and hat look like a folded paper toy."

"No matter what it looks like, don't you have the urge to break it or squash it?"

"..."

After leaving the small courtyard, the sound of the waterfall falling from the cliff into the pool was no longer heard. After confirming that the second senior brother would not eavesdrop on his conversation, the two youngest guys at the back of the academy began to talk.

Chen Pipi rubbed her cheeks that were numb due to her serious expression before, looked at Ning Que and asked, "Tell me."

Ning Que was silent for a moment and replied honestly: "It does feel that way."

Chen Pipi looked at him solemnly and said, "It's not just you, all of us have it. Senior Brother Six has even tried it several times."

Ning Que opened his mouth slightly, looked at the fat boy's face, and said hesitantly: "...I don't know how to continue."

Chen Pipi shook his head and said: "I will not be stupid enough to trick you into smashing the second senior brother's hat. In fact, after seeing your performance today, I firmly believe that in the future, it is very likely that you will come up with some underhanded tricks to trick me into doing this satisfying thing.

thing."

Ning Que smiled and suddenly said: "I think it's good for the second senior brother to be proud. At least this way he looks like a human being."

"I will not take your words as evidence to blackmail you."

Chen Pipi's expression and what he said obviously meant two different things. He patted Ning Que's shoulder sympathetically and said, "In fact, we all feel the same about this, especially after the second senior brother raised a goose the year before last.

"

Ning Que asked in surprise: "Goose?"

Chen Pipi said with a smile: "We have always believed that the reason why the second senior brother raised that goose was because the goose was very proud. He felt that he had finally found his own kind. In this case, of course he must raise it well."

Ning Que was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said with a smile: "Too mean, too vicious."

Chen Pipi smiled and said: "Don't believe it, you will know why we said this when you see the goose later."

While talking, they came to a gentle slope with wild flowers blooming in the green meadow. The two chose a clean spot among the flowers and sat down. Below the slope was a gently flowing stream. It seemed that the momentum should come from the cliff.

Looking at the waterfall, it seems that after flowing out of the cliff, a new waterfall will form, but I don't know where it will fall.

The spring breeze mixed with the warm sun, gently blowing on the faces of the two young people. They were lying on the meadow among the wild flowers, with their hands behind their heads, looking at the beautiful scenery with their eyes open, looking extremely comfortable.

Ning Que looked at the stream down the slope and said: "In the academy...I mean in the academy below, I occasionally look up at the mountains, but I have never seen a waterfall, and I have never thought about it.

The depths of the mountains are so beautiful.”

Chen Pipi squinted his eyes, looked at the black spots in the sky, and said with a smile: "This mountain is very big, and there are many places I have never been to. I heard from the fourth senior brother that the side of the mountain facing Chang'an City is a vast expanse of land.

The cliff, the waterfall you are concerned about may fall from there. I once took a sneak peek and found that the bottom of the cliff was covered with clouds and mist. I had no idea what was underneath."

"You can take me to see it if you have a chance in the future."

"good."

Ning Que had excellent eyesight. He looked at the fish swimming and competing for food under the stream, thinking about the senior brothers and sisters he saw in the back mountain today, and curiously asked: "Senior brothers and sisters... what state are they in now?"

"Second Senior Brother has known destiny for a long time, but I don't know whether he is in the upper or middle realm of knowing destiny, or whether he has seen that door. Then from Third Senior Sister to Eleventh Senior Brother, they are all in the Dongxuan Realm, upper, middle and lower realms.

No wait.”

This answer was really beyond Ning Que's expectation. He looked at Chen Pipi in surprise and said, "You are all in the realm of knowing fate, why are your senior brothers and sisters still in Dongxuan?"

Chen Pipi glanced at him and said sarcastically: "There is a sequence in learning Taoism, so what's the right time to enter Taoism? Although I started the Taoism the latest, it is not a big deal to know one's fate first. The so-called division of realms are just some fighting methods, and there is no one in the back mountain.

If we really care about this matter, if we really get into a fight, starting from the third senior sister and all the way up to the eleventh senior brother, none of them can beat me."

"Don't forget, I am a peerless spiritual genius."

"How did senior brothers and sisters enter the academy?"

"Of course I was recruited by the Master."

Chen Pipihun didn't notice that he had been influenced too much by his second senior brother over the years, and he started talking nonsense habitually.

Ning Que said helplessly: "I'm asking for serious questions."

"Is my answer very inappropriate?"

Chen Pipi looked at him dully and said: "Who can draw straighter lines than Fourth Senior Brother? Who can embroider better than Seventh Senior Sister, and who can embroider more delicately than Chen Fabu? Who can do it better than Ninth Senior Brother and Tenth Senior Brother?

Playing the piano and flute? Who is better at blacksmithing than Sixth Senior Brother? As for those two lunatics who love to play chess, you can't find a third person in the world who can defeat them on the chessboard."

"Our senior brothers and sisters are all the top people in the world in a certain aspect. Again, in a fight, they may not be able to beat others, but if compared to other aspects, even you and I can't catch up."

Ning Que said seriously: "That's not necessarily true. When it comes to calligraphy, I still have some confidence."

Chen Pipi laughed.

Ning Que also smiled, and suddenly thought of something, and asked in confusion: "Since the senior brothers and sisters were already the top figures in a certain aspect in the world before they entered the mountain, what does the teacher mean by calling them into the academy? They are already

They are invincible in the world. If they continue to practice, they will still be invincible in the world. Who can make them go further in their field?"

Chen Pipi looked at him with a serious expression and said: "I said earlier that no one can defeat the senior brothers and sisters in their field. This sentence actually has a premise, and the existence of one person must be excluded."

"who?"

"Big brother."

Ning Que was silent for a long time before gradually digesting the shock in his heart. He stared into his eyes and said, "You mean... senior brother knows everything and is the strongest person in any field?"

Chen Pipi sighed leisurely: "I only know that the senior brother in the back of the academy has always been responsible for teaching and answering questions."

Ning Que was stunned and speechless, and after a long time he murmured: "How can there be such an all-rounder in the world?"

Chen Pipi looked up at the birds in the blue sky and said with a smile: "Do you feel very shocked? You are very proud, I am very proud, the second senior brother is even more proud, but even the second senior brother has no qualifications to be proud in front of the first senior brother.

The most interesting thing is that if you see the senior brother, you will find that he does not know what pride is."

Ning Que looked at the sky in a daze, and after a long silence, he said: "It turns out that apart from... there are really people who are known to each other."

Chen Pipi didn't notice the pause in his words and said: "There has never been anyone in the world who was born knowing it."

Ning Que mocked and said: "If you don't know it from birth, who can teach someone like Senior Brother?"

Chen Pipi mocked and said: "Idiot, senior brother is the teacher's student, of course he was taught by the teacher."

Ning Que was speechless. He suddenly thought of something. His senior brother's teacher was also his teacher. Only then did he realize that he had become a student of the legendary Confucius. He couldn't help but feel shaken and excited.

He suddenly turned his head, looked at the big fat round face close at hand, and asked, "I have a question."

Chen Pipi responded in confusion: "What's the problem?"

Ning Que said seriously: "I came to the second floor of the academy to practice and study, not to enjoy the scenery. You took me around a lot today, but no one seemed to tell me what I should learn and how.

study."

"First of all, you are currently in the realm of non-confusion, and you can control very little energy of heaven and earth, so there are many things that you cannot learn at all. Secondly, the study in the back mountain is basically self-study. We follow the direction set by the teacher and realize it on our own.

When you study, if you have any problems, go ask your senior brother for advice. Now that the teacher and senior brother have not come back, of course you can only study on your own first."

"Eldest Brother... what state is he in now?"

"No one knows except Master. I even suspect that Senior Brother himself doesn't know."

"Here you go again, you come again."

"I'm telling the truth... because we always feel that Senior Brother has never cared about such things as realm."

"I suddenly thought of a question. If the senior brother really knows everything and is a top figure in all fields, then why don't the fifth senior brother and the eighth senior brother bother him to play chess? According to my knowledge, like
