September is full of flowers

After Shen Man submitted the letter of recommendation and received a copper plaque under the contemptuous eyes of the master registration officer, he re-passed through the crowds of people who had registered on the last day, and left the main street of the capital under the envious eyes of everyone. .

After signing up, a big stone in my heart fell, and I couldn't help but feel refreshed.Seeing a bookstore facing the street, Shen Man couldn't help but freeze. Taige has an endless collection of books, but the standards are too high, and some books she can't understand for the time being.But this kind of bookstore facing the street is different. Looking at the people coming and going, most of them are candidates who have come to apply for the exam, and many of them have applied for the Yin Yang Dao exam.If Shen Man followed in, maybe he would see the books they usually read, and maybe he could get a few more points in the theory subject that everyone had to apply for by cramming.

Just after walking a few steps towards the bookstore, Shen Man found that annoying little tail following her again, so he could not help but ask her with a wry smile, "Miss Nian Nian, why are you still haunted?"

Wu Niannian glanced over her shoulder, looked into the bookstore, and said in a strange voice, "Is there any big backer behind you? If there is, please sacrifice it earlier, we have wasted a lot of time, go to the bookstore. After going to Kongtong Temple and begging Doctor Yun, it is thankless."

"I don't have any backing." Shen Man was very guilty when he said this, and looked away.

Wu Niannian looked at her for a while, and said, "This bookstore is expensive. It has three floors. On the first floor, ordinary wealthy people can go in to read and buy books. On the second floor, you need a certain identity."

"What about the third floor?" Shen Man asked following her words.

Wu Niannian said, "The third floor is the treasure house that you may not be able to enter even if you have money and power. Most of the books in it are orphan copies. This one is the only copy. It cannot be borrowed or sold. It can only be read or spent in it. Buy paper and a pen and copy it yourself."

"So troublesome?" Shen Man remembered that when she was in Taige, Tang Jiuyue also asked herself and Lian Yi to read books in Zangshuge together, and at the same time needed to extract, in order to let herself and Lian Yi deepen their memories and turn the things in the books into into the mind.

But this bookstore is run by a businessman, presumably because the items on the third floor are really rare, so at most they are excerpted, so that the essence will not leak out too quickly.

"That's natural. Whether you're taking a literary test, a martial arts test, or yin and yang, books are indispensable treasures. Especially like us helpless 'orphans', everything can only be explored by ourselves , unlike others, some are from a family of Yin and Yang, and the elders in the family can teach them all; some are high-ranking, even if there is no suitable one in their own family, they can spend money or use power to find a good master. study."

"That's right." Mentioning Master, Shen Man was naturally grateful to Tang Jiuyue.She is a dignified gate supervisor, there is no need to accept disciples like herself.

"However, the master-student relationship obtained in this way is actually not reliable." Wu Niannian seemed to be deeply touched, and said sadly, "Most of the masters who bribed with money or power are unwilling to teach them all, and the apprentices they teach are not as good as me. you."

The more she listened to what Wu Niannian said, the more Shen Man felt that Tang Jiuyue treated her very well, there was no reason for this kindness, and she was even more grateful to Tang Jiuyue for lending a helping hand when she had nothing to cuddle up to.

When he was thinking about Tang Jiuyue in a trance, a pair of soft hands suddenly stretched out, wrapping around Shen Man's neck from behind. The voice said, "Xiao Man, why are you still walking on the street since you signed up? Don't you think there are not enough things? I remember that you will take the first round of theory exams in a few days. Assuming I still remember correctly, Your theory test will be tough..."

Shen Man trembled all over, she was a candidate of Yin-Yang Dao who became a monk in the middle of her life, and this theory was all about the theory of Yin-Yang Dao, she knew almost nothing about the development history, main schools, and divisions.

After counting, it was only half a month before the exam, and the books and materials to be faced could be said to be like an ocean, Shen Man suddenly felt that his head was getting bigger.

Turning around and holding on to the only life-saving straw, he took a look at Wu Niannian, then pulled Qing Ning a little farther away, crying and shouting, "Qing Ning, the only thing I can rely on now is you."

Qing Ning was taken aback, and dodged, "Let's say it first, I won't stay up late with you, study with you, or take exams with you!"

Tears welled up, "Then can you tell me something?"

Qing Ning coughed and said neatly, "No way!"

Shen Man smiled and said, "I wanted to treat you to dinner..."

Lime's pace of leaving became slow.

Shen Man also said, "I don't know if Miss Tang is back..."

Qing Ning gritted her teeth and said in a low voice, "I hate people threatening me the most."

Shen Man's face remained unchanged, "Then are you going to accompany me or not?"

Qing Ning could only helplessly, and gritted her teeth again, "Don't forget the big meal you owe me, I still want to go to Guan Chu Lou."

"Okay." Shen Man responded with a full mouth, but in fact he didn't have the financial resources to support this big meal, so he could only say sorry to Qing Ning secretly in his heart.

Fortunately, the future is long.

Wu Niannian's face may not have been honed to be as thick as the bark of a ten thousand-year-old tree. Even though she vaguely heard the conversation between Shen Man and Qing Ning, seeing them bid farewell to him, she still failed to offer to go back with them.

Shen Man felt sorry for her, but when he thought that he was going to Tang Jiuyue's private house, it might not be right to take someone with unknown history hastily, so he could only bid farewell to Wu Niannian apologetically, and went back to the residence with Qing Ning.

In order to cultivate an atmosphere of studying hard, Qing Ning specially closed the windows of the study.He felt that the light in the room was too dim, so he lit dozens of candles.

Shen Man looked at the candles in the room, blinked and said, "Master Qing Ning, you light so many candles, with such an atmosphere, you are not afraid that the supervisor will suddenly visit and misunderstand us?"

Qing Ning looked around, and Liu Ye frowned slightly.

Shen Man persisted, "Besides, there are so many flammable things in the room, if that candle falls down and burns down the gate supervisor's house, the gate supervisor will probably be very upset."

Qing Ning swallowed her saliva, and seemed to see Tang Jiuyue walking towards her with a smile. Although that smile was very bright and the person was very beautiful, she always felt that there were thousands of repairs hidden behind her smile. own tricks.

Before Shen Man continued to scold her, Qing Ning hurriedly and consciously put away the extra candles, held them in her hands, and blew them out one by one.His cheeks bulged, almost suffocating.

Looking back, seeing Shen Man leaning on the desk, tilting his head with a smile on his face, Qing Ning was furious.Walked to a wooden box, opened it with a clatter, and fiddled with it for a long time, then slowly carried a pile of books of unknown year and month to Shenman's desk, and then piled heavily on the pile, leaning over Leaning his elbows on the tall torn book, he squinted his eyes and said to Shen Man, "Come on, finish this lump first tonight."

Raising his eyebrows, he said again, "There will be another lump in the box tomorrow."

Shen Man regretted using Tang Jiuyue to pressure her just now, how could he finish reading this pile of books in one night?Lime is a private announcement!But if you continue to contradict, I am afraid that you will really miss the test of reasoning.So he smiled and said, "Master Qing Ning, I know I was wrong, so please forgive me this time? If you fail this exam, you will lose the Taige's face if people find out. The gate supervisor will definitely be angry .”

Qing Ning originally wanted to scare her, but she didn't really want her to waste time reading these miscellaneous books.Seeing that Shen Man was soft-hearted, she was also a soft-hearted person, she agreed after a few sentences, turned around and said, "Hey, I will only say what I said once, and it's up to you to understand. Xu listen to me, don't interrupt, do you agree?"

Shen Man covered his mouth with both hands and nodded, like a docile little sheep.

Qing Ning smiled immediately, and patted her head, "Be good."
