let go of my skin fairy

Chapter 118 The top of the mountain of books, look at the world
"He, Jiang Yu'er, enters the Dao of Painting with the Four Realms!"

The voice lingered, echoing in the mountains.

Fang Xiaojing, Gu Miaobi and Lin Quping were all silent.

The eyes of the three Confucian scholars all looked at the young man in white standing in the array of flowers on the mountain of books.

"What a way to enter the painting!"

"Yeah, what a peerless seedling."

"For a hundred years, only the Master climbed the mountain of books with the road, and now he only has the last layer left...Will a miracle happen?"

"Let's wait and see!"

The three Confucian scholars returned to the viewing platform and stopped with their hands behind their backs.

And on top of the mountain where the students of Jixia and the people watching were located.

At this point, it was already boiling.

Liu Hongyi, Li Zeguang and others were very excited.

"Brother Jiang did it!"

"Yeah, we can be on the same list with someone like him... What regrets in this life?"

Liang Wan'er's body was trembling uncontrollably, and her face was flushed red: "Young Master Jiang...he's so powerful! He's really too powerful!"

She subconsciously squeezed the bamboo flute in her hand, because it was a gift from Jiang Yu'er.

Cai Wenji also had a flowery smile on her face, she did not hide her admiration for Jiang Yu'er at all: "Yes, after today, no one will be able to cover up Young Master Jiang's demeanor!"

……

"What a Jiang Jieyuan, what a Four Realms Entering the Painting Dao!"

Hua Qingshui licked her lips subconsciously. If she was made ten years younger, she would not hesitate to tell the young man in front of her her admiration.

But now, she still has one more thing to do.

With her reputation of Baihuaxian, help the young people in front of her to stabilize the painting of the four realms!

"Flower Fairy, I really want to come this time!" Jiang Chaoge moved his hand lightly.

In mid-air, hundreds of Mo people raised their spears in unison.

The solemn atmosphere of the battlefield shrouded in the Hundred Flowers Formation.

"Come on, but I still want to remind you that even if you enter the Dao of Painting, you may not be my match for Baihuaxian." Hua Qingshui replied with a smile.

"I have to break through!" Jiang Chaoge rushed forward.

Hua Qingshui immediately started flying again, but this time, between her and the flower pots, there were countless ink men holding spears. It was extremely difficult for her to mess up the flower pots as before. up.

The ink man's spear kept stabbing towards Hua Qingshui!
Stab the head, stab the chest, stab the feet!

Every time Hua Qingshui went, she would encounter attacks from all directions, and her advantage in the Hundred Flowers Formation had completely disappeared.

Not only that, she is even more like being in an "army formation".

"Do you still know the formation method?"

"Understood."

"It's amazing!" Hua Qingshui sighed.

Finally, she could no longer stop Jiang Chaoge from approaching.

She didn't resist anymore, but closed her eyes silently.

She was waiting for her fate to be defeated, but after waiting for a long time, she found that... she did not suffer the 'storm' as imagined.

So she opened her eyes again.

With eyes as gentle as water, he looked at the young man in white in front of him: "Why did you stop?"

"I've already passed, haven't I?" Jiang Chaoge replied.

"If you can defeat me in one fell swoop, your reputation will be even higher. This is a good opportunity." Hua Qingshui reminded.

"I appreciate Hua Zhongxian's kindness, but I don't want to step on the reputation of a person who sincerely helps me to improve myself." Jiang Chaoge smiled: "After all, you have helped me a lot."

"Alright, congratulations to Jiang Jieyuan for passing the seventh floor." Hua Qingshui looked at the young man and said seriously.

"Thank you!"

Jiang Chaoge nodded and looked towards the mountain top which was getting closer.

Above him, there is a final layer.

As long as he passes the eighth floor, he can climb to the top of the book mountain and meet the master in "White River".

……

The sun was almost setting over the hills.

In the sky, there is only a faint glow left.

The young man in white stepped straight on the rocks and headed towards the top of the book mountain.

Below him, across from him...

Countless pairs of expectant eyes are watching his figure.

Xiaguang dyed a blush on his body, and there seemed to be a touch of blood on the white clothes.

Jiang Chaoge came to the eighth floor.

To his surprise, there was no older examiner here, only a yawning boy in a plain shirt.

The other party squinted his eyes and tilted his head, drowsy.

"A boy?" Jiang Chaoge stopped in front of the other party, and sat down slowly.

In front of the boy, there was an exquisite tea set, but there was no hot water and no tea...

"What's going on? Is this boy the examiner on the eighth floor?"

Jiang Chaoge was very puzzled in his heart. He looked carefully at the boy in front of him, but he didn't feel any powerful aura from him.

An ordinary boy!

Other than that, there are no other people or things on these eight floors.

Empty.

Jiang Chaoge hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Student Jiang Yu'er, sir, please come up with a question."

"Who?" The sleepy boy opened his eyes, tilted his round head, and looked at Jiang Chaoge: "Oh, you're here...how did you come up?"

"Of course they came up." Jiang Chaoge replied.

"Really? The mountain is so high and steep, how did you get up there?" the boy asked again.

"Come up with legs?"

"Then your legs...are very powerful." The boy was stunned.

"Sir, please come up with a question." Jiang Chaoge brought the topic back.

"What's the question?" The boy was stunned for a moment: "I don't have any questions here, only this set of tea sets. The master asked me to come here. I don't know anything."

No question?Only one tea set?Master asked him to come?

Jiang Chaoge grasped three important points in the boy's words... However, he didn't understand what these three important points meant.

While thinking...

The boy asked again: "My name is Asheng, and I am the teacher's book boy. What's your name?"

"My name is Jiang Yu'er." Jiang Chaoge replied.

"Oh, you are that river fish, I know you, my master has read your "On River Governance", just because of that time, I was punished by my master to get me up in the morning to take dew, you know... …It’s hard to get up early.”

The boy muttered and said: "I heard that you have already entered the National Scholars List, and you are Xie Yuan personally ordered by Yubi. You are really amazing. By the way, you are here because you want to enter the Jixia Academy? Unfortunately, I don't know how to get you up...

The master just told me to sit here and wait, and then let me stop if someone wants to go up, and I just don't know the rest. "

"Well, the master only gave you a set of tea sets, didn't he give you tea?" Jiang Chaoge thought for a while, then pointed to the tea set in front of him.

"No, the master only gave these." The boy shook his head.

Only these are given?

Jiang Chaoge was thoughtful.

The boy, Asheng, seemed to really not understand the exam questions, but the exam question for this level was obviously 'tea'.

According to common sense, tasting tea, appreciating tea, brewing tea, discussing tea... can be the topic.

But now, without tea leaves, how to taste and discuss tea?

"The question on the eighth floor...is it a riddle? The master came up with a 'question', the boy and the tea set...should be the content of this question, but what does the master mean?"

Boy, no tea...

Jiang Chaoge felt that if he wanted to pass the eighth floor, he still had to start from the 'tea'.

The tea ceremony is the way to appreciate the beauty of tea.

Through making tea, appreciating tea, smelling tea, and drinking tea, one can achieve meditation, calm the mind, cultivate sentiment and remove distracting thoughts in the mind.

"The first six floors are calligraphy, painting, qin, chess, poetry, and incense...These six floors should test for 'skills', or what is called Confucianism and Taoism."

"As for the seventh floor, the Hundred Flowers Formation... the test should be about comprehension!"

"Talent and understanding have been tested, so what is the test on the eighth level?"

"Heart!"

Jiang Chaoge had a guess in his mind.

A boy blocking his way?

To pass, in fact...it doesn't seem to be difficult.

There are many choices in front of him now, and the most direct way is to forcefully climb to the top of the mountain regardless of the boy's obstruction.

Or, be more gentle and lure the boy with some kind of benefit, so that the boy will let him go.

"It's easy to live the life of boy Asheng, but the hard part is how to do it. The top of the mountain is right in front of you, and there is not much time left. At this time, people's hearts are most likely to be impatient."

"Confucianism is cultivating personal fame, so, in a sense, it is the easiest way to go astray, to gain fame by any means, even by deceit."

"Understood, on the eighth floor, the master probably wants me to stop, to settle my thoughts at the place closest to the top of the mountain, and wait quietly!"

Thinking of this.

Jiang Chaoge looked again at the tea set in front of the boy.

And the boy is still talking about it to himself, complaining about the experience and suffering of following the master.

"Ah Sheng, how about I make you a pot of tea?"

"Make tea?" Ah Sheng was stunned for a moment, with a confused expression on his face, "But, there is no tea, how can I make tea?"

"Is there any water?" Jiang Chaoge asked again.

"There is water, but it's not hot." Ah Sheng replied again.

"It doesn't matter, we can heat the water slowly, as long as there is water, we can make tea." Jiang Chaoge explained to A Sheng.

"You can make tea if you have water? Mr. Jiang...is he a fool?" A Sheng tilted his head.

Being despised by a boy... Jiang Chaoge was a little speechless, but after hearing what the boy said, he became more convinced that his guess was correct.

The closer the end, the more distractions!
The boy's contempt represents the eyes of the world.

When your actions are not recognized by the world, the world will question, discuss, and even abuse you. Can you maintain your state of mind at this time?

Jiang Chaoge didn't refute the boy's words, but continued: "Then I'll start making tea."

"If you want to drink, go to the bar, anyway, there is no tea here!"

The boy didn't understand, but he still put the kettle in front of Jiang Chaoge, and then began to mutter to himself, chattering endlessly.

"It seems that the master also wants to use this boy to hone his character? Otherwise, it is impossible for such a boy to become the master's book boy."

Jiang Chaoge became more and more enlightened.

Before stepping into the finish line, temper your state of mind, this is the eighth floor test question!

So, he began to make tea seriously.

Every step is done very seriously, from boiling water to cleaning each tea set, from teacups to teacups, to teapots to teapots...

He cleaned it carefully so that no dust would get on it.

And in this way, a lot of time is naturally wasted.

……

far away.

The people who were waiting on the top of the mountain gradually had some discussions.

"It's just a boy, why hasn't Jiang Jieyuan gone up yet?"

"Yeah, Jiang Jieyuan passed the first few levels with ease, even the seventh level didn't take so much time, what is he waiting for?"

"Looks like you're making tea?"

"Do you want to make tea? Make tea at this time...just go straight up. Could it be that a boy can stop the painter of the four realms?"

"Is there something weird about it?"

They couldn't understand it, because from their eyes, the boy didn't embarrass Jiang Chaoge, and seemed to be complaining to himself.

But Jiang Chaoge was making tea for that boy, and he was making tea quite seriously.

Weird!

Liang Wan'er was also very surprised: "Mr. Jiang, why hasn't he climbed to the top of the mountain? Time is running out, the sun has completely set."

"It's quite strange. If I don't go up again... I'm afraid I'll miss the time." Liu Hongyi, Li Zeguang and others also didn't understand why, showing doubts.

Cai Wenji didn't speak, as if she was thinking about something.

……

on the viewing platform.

Fang Xiaojing, Gu Miaobi and Lin Quping were also looking at the young man in white.

Even if they are great Confucian scholars, they still have some doubts about Jiang Chaoge's approach at this time. After all, the eighth level...is the master's own question.

"Do you know what Master means?"

"I can't guess, but I have read the record when Master climbed Shushan. It said that when Master climbed Shushan, he encountered the eighth pass and stopped!"

"Stand still?"

"Old man Fang, look at that table!"

"Look at what?"

"There doesn't seem to be any tea leaves on the table!"

"No tea?" Fang Xiaojing looked closely, and sure enough, he saw it too.

There are tea sets, but no tea leaves!

"..."

Gu Miaobi's eyes suddenly turned to the figure of a green-robed Taoist priest on the mountain of books: "Eh? Then Jiang Chenshui has passed the sixth level and is walking towards the seventh level!"

"Well, for the first genius of the younger generation of Daomen, it's normal if he can't stop the first six levels."

"It depends on his seventh level, how to pass it?"

The three looked at each other.

Silence again.

……

The location on the eighth floor.

Jiang Chaoge's tea has come to an end.

He carefully poured the hot water into the teapot, but because there was no tea on the table, he did not wash the tea from the beginning to the end.

This also made everyone on the top of the mountain, watching all this, find something unusual.

"Look at that table, there seems to be no tea?"

"No tea? Impossible?"

"Really, didn't you find it? Take a serious look!"

Everyone looked around.

Sure enough, there was really no tea on the table.

But at this moment...

Suddenly a gust of wind blew by, and the sky began to drizzle.

"It's raining!"

"Why is there no thunder? It's raining, but there is no thunder?"

"Wait, do you feel that the rain is a bit hot, and it seems to have a scent of tea!"

"Tea fragrance?!"

Everyone unconsciously took the raindrops with their hands, put them in front of their noses and sniffed them.

There are bold ones, even straight sips.

"It's tea!"

"It's not rain, it's tea...it's just hot tea!"

The rich tea fragrance wafts around people, as if coming from the sky.

The fragrance is floating in the air!

Make people intoxicated unconsciously.

"Could it be that Jiang Jieyuan brewed the tea? But, there is no tea leaves on Jiang Jieyuan's table, so where did the tea rain come from?"

"Could it be...on the top of Book Mountain!"

"It's the tea made by the master!"

Everyone finally noticed the problem.

The tea rain comes from the top of Shushan, and so does the fragrance of tea.

……

Jiang Chaoge raised his head.

The boy, Asheng, also raised his head.

"It's the master making tea!" The boy rejoiced: "The tea smells so good."

"Well, the tea made by the master is really fragrant." Jiang Chaoge stood up: "It's just right, my tea is ready, Asheng, do you want to have a taste?"

"Where is your tea?"

"In the cup."

Jiang Chaoge raised the teacup in his hand, it was already filled with a cup of green tea.

Ah Sheng's eyes widened: "There is really tea, you don't have tea leaves... You actually made tea, no... This is not the tea you made, this is the tea made by the master!"

"What does it matter?" Jiang Chaoge said with a smile: "Although you didn't say it, the master should have told you that as long as I can make tea, you can't stop me, right?"

"You...how did you know?" Ah Sheng was very surprised: "I didn't tell you, and when Master told me, no one else knew."

"Okay, I'm going up to see my master." Jiang Chaoge stood up.

Ah Sheng also stood up.

He waved his small arms, as if he wanted to stop Jiang Chaoge from going up, but after seeing the tea rain falling from the sky, he finally gave up.

So, he made way behind him.

Jiang Chaoge went directly to the top of the mountain from the road behind Ah Sheng.

He walked towards the top of the mountain step by step.

The surrounding clouds and mist gradually reached around his body, making him feel like he was in the "White River", as if he was on a road to the immortal.

He breathed in the white mist around him, which was filled with the strong fragrance of tea.

"Using the White River on the mountain of books as the 'intermediary' to rain down the tea... The master's method is indeed extraordinary. Is this the No. 1 under the immortal?"

Jiang Chaoge stepped on the rocks and walked through the white mist on the mountain of books.

Soon, the white mist was stepped on by him, and there was no more white mist in front of him. He seemed to have climbed to the top of the cloud and mist, and really came to the top of Shushan Mountain.

He subconsciously looked down at his feet.

Then, he seemed to be able to see the shadow of the entire Xianyang.

He saw the imperial city of Nuoda, the ancient city walls, the soldiers guarding the walls, the bustling streets, and the vendors hawking along the streets.

Obviously he is at the top of the mountain now.

It was obvious that there was a floating white mist under his feet.

However, he can clearly see the world.

Jiang Chaoge took a deep breath of the tea-scented air on the top of the mountain, and made a Confucian salute toward the void: "Student Jiang Yu'er, please see Master!"
