The sun has risen, but the bamboo forest is still filled with morning mist.

These teenagers are running, with steady steps and loud slogans, as energetic as these bamboos.

Seeing that they were about to run away, Yan Mu hurriedly stepped forward and called out to the man wearing a cyan bunt who was running at the end. He should be the master of these teenagers.

"Excuse me, we would like to ask how to get to Banshan Academy?"

The man shouted at the boy in front of him and told them to keep running. Then he turned around and looked at Yan Mu. He looked at him first and then at Liu Yunxiang behind him.

"You are?"

"Oh, I am the new master of Banshan Academy, and this is my wife." Yan Mu put one hand behind his back, and his voice was slower and softer, hoping to be more bookish and less majestic.

The man looked at Yan Mu again and said, "New master? That doesn't look like him."

Yan Mu coughed twice, "Who are you?"

"Oh, I am the martial arts master at Huiming Academy."

"Huiming Academy, I've admired its name for a long time, but you still teach martial arts?"

"Do you want to strengthen your body? Without a strong body, no matter how good you are in reading, there is no use. If you are as weak as a girl, you will fall down when the wind blows. How can you talk about serving the country as an official?"

Well, these words seemed to be targeted, but Yan Mu quite agreed.Let’s not talk about serving the country. Without a strong body, we would not be able to survive the three days of the imperial examination. There are countless candidates who failed in the examination room over the years.

"Mid-level Academy, right? Take the road over there and go straight up the mountain. When you see the fork in the road, take the west one and you'll be there in about a quarter of an hour. However, after Mr. Zibai went down the mountain to visit his relatives, most of the students went home. I'm afraid they won't There are only a few left.”

Going down the mountain to visit relatives?

Yan Mu smiled, it turned out that the old man had lied.

Yan Mu thanked the man, who waved his hand and said that his surname was Xia. They were new here. If you need help with anything, just ask.After saying that, the man hurriedly chased those students.

"This guy is pretty good." Liu Yunxiang said.

Yan Mu nodded, "I just like to deal with people who practice martial arts. There are not so many tricks."

Following the path pointed by Master Xia, the two of them turned to the east road. After walking for a while, they saw an open space in the bamboo forest. Dozens of teenagers in crescent-white school uniforms were sitting cross-legged on futons and studying.

The young man's voice was not loud, but it was connected together, and the sound was not small.Each of them was holding a book, looking extremely serious.

There was also a man wearing the same plain robe, but with black satin at the edges. He walked among the students. When he saw anyone who was not serious, he would look at him with the book in his hand.

"They should be students from Mingyuan Academy." Liu Yunxiang whispered.

"It should be."

Unlike Huiming Academy, their mornings started with reading, and judging from the robes they wore, although the style was simple, the material was indeed silk, which showed that Mingyuan Academy was rich.

They took a look and continued walking up, but the teacher saw them and shouted.

"You two are here to visit your children, right? I'm sorry, our college rules prohibit outsiders from entering, and once students come to the college to study, family members are not allowed to visit."

Yan Mu and Liu Yunxiang turned around when they heard this sound. They looked like the parents of such a big child?
When the gentleman saw their faces, he hesitated for a moment, then looked at the two of them again, and said in a calmer tone: "Brother and sister-in-law, let alone my brother and sister-in-law, our Mingyuan Academy has the rules of Mingyuan Academy, I hope you can forgive me."

The corner of Liu Yunxiang's mouth twitched. This teacher was short and plump in appearance. He should have a loving face, but his eyes were darting around, showing that he was too evil-minded.

She took another look at herself and Yan Mu, who were wearing ordinary cotton clothes, and thought that if they were better dressed, the teacher would not be so strong for a long time.

Yan Mu raised his eyebrows, "Don't we take this route to Banshan Academy?"

"Are you going to Mid-Levels Academy?"

"Yes." "Huh, I thought this academy had closed."

"It can't be turned off, don't worry."

"Yes, then I feel very relieved."

After saying that, he went back with a smile and continued to supervise the students' reading.

Yan Mu laughed, "This guy is quite interesting."

Liu Yunxiang pushed him forward, "We don't care about him. I just listened to what these two said. I'm worried that there may really be no one in Banshan Academy."

So what else do they teach?
The two of them continued walking up the mountain. When they passed by Mingyuan Academy, they saw its towering gate, which was built against the mountain. They could see the blue-tiled roofs hidden in the bamboo forest, which was quite impressive.

Not far away, they saw a fork in the road. They turned around, and the road suddenly became narrower and the forest became denser. They had to be careful when walking through it, as they might get lost if they were not careful.

After stepping on the weeds under his feet, Liu Yunxiang began to wonder, is there really a mountainside academy in this mountain?
Fortunately, not long after walking, I heard a faint sound, indicating that there was someone in front of me.After turning a few corners, I saw three teenagers squatting together.

"Yeah, there are so many."

"It's pretty fat."

"My mouth is watering."

Yan Mu and Liu Yunxiang looked at each other. They walked over lightly and saw that they were picking out white and fat insects from the fallen bamboo tube.

Liu Yunxiang couldn't help but vomited, and then the three of them turned their heads to look over.

"Hey, who are you?"

The person who asked the question was one of the young men with a long and thin face and a sharp mouth. To be honest, he looked a bit like a donkey. He also held a meat worm in his hand, and the worm was struggling violently.

Liu Yunxiang took a step back before saying, "Well, we are going to Banshan Academy."

"Mid-level Academy?"

"Yes, can you tell us how to get there?"

"You're already here."

"arrive."

The young man stood up and pointed to the west, "No, that's not it."

Yan Mu and Liu Yunxiang looked over and saw a dilapidated house with no door or courtyard. They had seen it just now and thought it was abandoned.

"We are students of the academy." The long and thin face added.

Liu Yunxiang looked at the three of them again. Except for one with a long and thin face, the other two were very short, with round and thick ears, a bit like... a pig, and the other was very tall, not only tall but also thin, with a Like a bamboo pole.

Liu Yunxiang was speechless for a moment, how could this be so different from the students from Huiming Academy and Mingyuan Academy they saw when they first came out.When old man Bai chooses a student, does he have to have a strange appearance to accept him?
"Well, he, he is the new teacher in your academy." Liu Yunxiang pointed at Yan Mu, who was also speechless, "He was entrusted by Mr. Bai to teach you."

"Then our Mr. Bai, he...he..." As he said that, his slender face turned red.

"He's very good." Liu Yunxiang quickly stopped him from talking any further to avoid crying. "Because you are troubled by something, you are entrusted with us to take care of you for up to half a year."

Hearing this, the long and thin face burst into laughter again, "Great, we finally have a husband. Oh, by the way, let's treat him and his wife to eat bamboo worms!"

As he said that, the young man took the meat insect and punched it in front of Liu Yunxiang. Liu Yunxiang was so frightened that he took two steps back.
