Rise of the Light of the Elf

As soon as the other party finished speaking, he saw an old man with white beard and white hair coming towards him.

The man said, "I heard that the general brought his eldest son to our Lingwen Mansion to study. I came to welcome him. I didn't want to but happened to overhear your conversation. I hope the general won't be offended."

Jiang Cheng cupped his hands and said, "How dare you, how dare you, who are you?"

"General, you're welcome, just call me Mr. Feng," Mr. Feng laughed.

When Jiang Cheng heard that he was Mr. Feng, one of the Four Saints, he quickly pulled Xisang forward and said, "I haven't met Mr. Feng yet."

Xisang was a little surprised that his father didn't know Mr. Feng, which showed that these people were really dragons who saw the beginning but failed to see the end.But yes, the one my father mentioned the most was Mr. Cui, and the others must have gotten fragments of information from other people.

Xisang cupped his hands towards Feng Laogong and said, "Jiang Ai Xisang has met senior Feng."

Mr. Feng smiled and nodded at her and said: "At such a young age, he has such a strong understanding of life and is full of righteousness. He is a malleable talent. But his name is a bit weird."

Jiang Cheng immediately stepped forward and said: "Senior, please forgive me, because it is really difficult for my wife to give birth to him, and there is the word Ai in her name, so I added the word Ai to the child's surname. His surname is Jiang Ai and his given name is Xisang. He is the child of light. meaning."

Mr. Feng stroked the beard in his hand, nodded, and looked at them with increasingly kind eyes.I thought to myself: This Captain Jiang is indeed as energetic as the rumors say.

Mr. Feng laughed loudly and said: "I have long heard that the general is a sweetheart. I don't think it is true as the rumors say. Yes, yes. But the eldest son is very different from the rumors. It can be seen that the rumors cannot be believed. Hahaha"

Xisang said to Mr. Feng: "Thank you for your compliments, senior Feng. You can just call me junior Xisang."

Mr. Feng laughed and said, "I wonder which college Xisang wants to enter this time?"

Xisang smiled and said: "To tell you the truth, of course the juniors want to enter the civil and military fields. But you must also know that diseases brought in from the mother's womb are bad eyesight. Listening to books and endorsements in the liberal arts college are okay, but reading and writing are not. If you don’t win, you can only choose martial arts.”

Mr. Feng nodded and said: "It doesn't matter, martial arts can strengthen the body. And you can also enter the elf clan by obtaining the martial arts academy's handbook. I heard that water elves have the ability to heal. I don't know if there is a chance that my eyes can be cured." .”

While talking to them, Mr. Feng led them through the garden. Unexpectedly, there was a main hall inside the garden with a plaque hanging on it: Palace Examination.Mr. Feng introduced to them: "This hall is where the entrance test and graduation test are. The first floor is where the martial arts college exam is taken, and the second floor is where the liberal arts college is tested. The liberal arts college is in the morning, and the martial arts college is in the afternoon. You guys He came in the morning, and it’s still early. I’ll take you around first. You can take a break at noon and then you can do the test in the afternoon. Xisang, you followed your father all the way. Do you have any questions?”

Xisang followed Mr. Feng and asked as he walked: "Since the senior said so, the junior will not be polite. Since Lingwen Academy is the second academic institution in the mainland, is there a large number of students? Is there only human race in the academy?"

Mr. Feng said with a smile: "As for the number of people, there are only about 1000 people in total. All ethnic groups who meet the recruitment standards are accepted. It's just that it's more difficult for foreign ethnic groups to come in. The price they pay is of course higher. You have to know Except for the elves who can use powerful magic, other ethnic groups have different cultivation methods, and some high-status children are the children of the union of elves and other races. Some of these children cannot use magic like the elves. If they do not enter our Lingwen Mansion Even if we learn inner strength and other techniques, we don’t even have the ability to protect ourselves. In the past two years, the relationship between the various tribes has been tense. We only exchange knowledge with the elves. If other tribes don’t show a certain degree of sincerity, we will be the same. No. After all, books and other items are our most precious possessions."

Xisang remembered the number one university in the mainland that her mother had mentioned, and asked, "I heard that the number one university in the mainland, the Shangwen Academy of the Elf Tribe, graduates every ten years. How many years did our Lingwen Academy complete? Year?"

Mr. Feng looked at Xisang with inquiring eyes and said: "It only takes five years of study. Xisang is well-informed, and even the information about the first school is so clear."

Jiang Cheng smiled and answered: "In the Battle of Sena that year, I led people to support the elves, and I learned all kinds of information about the elves from them. Xi'er has been curious about the outside world since he was a child, so I told him about it since he was a child. Some insights.”

Mr. Feng laughed and said: "No wonder, no wonder. The general made a great contribution to our human race in that battle."

After a pause, Mr. Feng continued to explore: "However, there are rumors outside that Xisang has an eye disease and cannot see. But we have walked all the way. I see that he walks with a straight posture and his eyes are looking straight ahead. There is no one to support him. He has never been able to see." Wrong direction, doesn’t it look like you have an eye problem?”

Jiang Cheng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The rumors outside are a bit exaggerated, and it's my fault. When her mother was pregnant with her, it was when I was out fighting, and she suffered a lot alone. After she was born, we discovered her eyes Her mother was so sad that she thought she would never be able to see. But as soon as it got dark, she found that the child's eyes were squinted, but it was still like that again during the day. Later, a medical officer was asked to diagnose and treat her at home. I learned that she was born with eye problems and could not see the light. We just asked us to try wearing this gauze, and she could see vaguely. Later, after we taught her to speak, she told us that she could see vaguely with the gauze on. I can see people, roads, and buildings, but I just can’t see them clearly.”

Mr. Feng frowned and said, "He is indeed a poor child."

Xisang thought: Fortunately, my father is there to support me. Otherwise, Mr. Feng might not believe me just based on my words.

Xisang smiled and said: "I am born to be useful. Even if there are huge setbacks, as long as I keep moving forward like my father, it won't be that difficult. Being able to be born beside my parents is a blessing in my life."

Mr. Feng looked at Xisang lovingly and nodded repeatedly.Dad also looked touched.

Remembering that day when Jiang Cheng mentioned that the academy seemed to have only four sages as the four major lecturers, Xisang continued to ask: "I heard from dad that you are the only four teachers teaching here, and there are ten levels of civil and military students, a thousand students, you Can the four of us teach here? And the juniors see that there are three Wen Halls and three Martial Halls here, each with five floors. Logically speaking, one in each hall is not enough for learning? Why should there be four more halls? "

Mr. Feng stroked his white beard and said: "You don't know this. Although we have five classes of students, the only ones we really need to give guidance to are the fifth class students, and they only come once a week, just to clear up their doubts." . As for the students on the first level, they will be taught by our successors. The students on the second, third, and fourth levels will read on their own, and four teachers will be assigned to each level to sit on the podium. They have all graduated before, but they don’t want to go out to practice, nor do they want to We, the outstanding talents working in the capital, are responsible for solving difficult and complicated diseases for these students."

Xisang was dumbfounded when he heard this. He recalled Confucius's theory of that time and wondered: "I heard before: "A teacher preaches, imparts knowledge, and solves doubts."If students are only allowed to read on their own, if they don’t understand the subject at all, wouldn’t it be a waste of time?And if someone is talking about it at the top, wouldn’t the people at the bottom learn faster? "

Mr. Feng said with a smile, "You can just mention this kind of remarks in front of me, but you must not mention it in front of other people. This is the principle, but the education in the royal capital is based on this operating rule. It is not something we can do if we want to make big changes. Got the master. Moreover, all the students recruited by our school who passed the test are extraordinary talents. They had previously received private lessons from their masters at home, so what they lacked was not basic knowledge, but the help of our library. It’s just to supplement knowledge.”

"I see it's almost noon now. I'll take you to the studio. Let's have something to eat and then go for the test. After the test is completed, if you pass it successfully, I will take you to meet the other three old guys. If you get unanimous approval , I can report it when school starts." Mr. Feng laughed and changed the subject.

Also, after asking so many questions, I was probably tired of asking, and I already understood almost everything. It would not be too late to understand the rest when she came in.Xisang thought.

After following Mr. Feng into the restaurant, Xisang found that there were extremely rich dishes.Influenced by her mother, she and her father only eat vegetarian dishes.The meat dishes were not touched at all.Xisang originally wanted to eat meat, but seeing his father nearby, he couldn't make an exception. He just thought about trying meat again if he had the opportunity in the future.

Mr. Feng asked strangely: "These dishes don't suit your taste? Why don't you eat more meat? Young people are growing up, so they should eat more meat."

Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "Because this child has suffered from serious and minor illnesses since birth, her mother believes in Buddhism at home, so the whole family cannot eat meat."

Mr. Feng nodded and then gave up.
