The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 133 Studying in Huaishan (Part )
There were still layers of clouds and fog at the foot of the mountain, which was indeed unusual.

Wen Weilan sent a message to her senior sister via spiritual communication to let her know that they had arrived.

After a while, the clouds dispersed to both sides, revealing a winding bluestone road.

The mountain path is deep and secluded. As you climb the steps, there is thick fog on both sides. Although you can't see clearly, you can hear the sound of pine waves, swaying bamboo forests, and the faint sound of clear springs flowing over rocks.

Ling Xiaoshu was running in the front, quite excited.

After all, as a tree, having been in the human world for too long, it feels like being in a cage. It naturally desires to return to nature, and every flower, grass, and tree is very familiar to it.

It’s a pity that the clouds and fog are so dense that we can’t get out of the bluestone.

After walking for a while, the clouds and mist finally thinned out, and the lush green pine, cypress and bamboo forests became visible.

The three of them walked for a while and saw a clearing at the end of the bluestone and deep in the dense forest. There were four or five bamboo houses, vegetables and fruits planted in the yard, and a stream flowing by.

With a creak, the door of one of the bamboo houses opened, and a tall woman in a green shirt walked out, followed by a big yellow dog.

When the big yellow dog saw the person coming, it immediately wagged its tail, bared its teeth, barked a few times, and was about to pounce on him excitedly.

"Xiaotian, come back."

The woman in green scolded softly, and the big yellow dog had no choice but to hang its head and walk back to its owner with its tail hanging down, but its eyes were still looking in one direction.

This direction seems to be Ling Xiaoshu's location.

Liu Sheng was a little surprised. Could it be that the dog could really see the small tree?
No wonder even though it looks like a local dog, it has such a prestigious name.

"Senior Sister!" Wen Weilan walked forward and called out with a smile.

It seems that the woman in green is the legendary senior sister Nangong Wan. Although according to Wen Weilan, she should be sixty years old, but she looks only about thirty years old. She is beautiful, the most beautiful woman Liu Sheng has ever seen in his life. In addition, her temperament is as tenacious as a green bamboo in the wind, which makes people forget the world when they see her.

Although they haven't seen each other for a long time, they are not strangers.

Nangong Wan directly pinched Wen Weilan's shoulders and arms, and said in one sentence: "Weilan, you... have lost weight."

"It's okay. Maybe I've been too busy lately."

"Eat more even if you're busy."

"it is good."

"This must be Liu Sheng who opened Qingyun Pavilion with you, right?" Nangong Wan looked at Liu Sheng and showed a kind smile like an elder.

"Hello, senior. I am Liu Sheng." Liu Sheng took the initiative to bow and introduced himself.

"You're welcome. Follow Wei Lan and call me Senior Sister."

Liu Sheng readily changed the topic and said, "Senior Sister."

While talking, Xiaotian kept circling around Ling Xiaoshu, rubbing Ling Xiaoshu's calves, making him itch and giggle.

"Although you are Wei Lan's good friend, according to my practice, I still have to test you in person first." Nangong Wan said seriously, "After all, my Huaishan training camp claims to have a 100% chance of success. Let me be frank. I cannot accept seeds that are too inferior. I cannot ruin my reputation."

"Sorry, I was a little too direct," she apologized to the two of them.

If it wasn't an acquaintance, she wouldn't even say such an apologetic word.

In fact, in the scientific research training circle, Huaishan Training is not weak in reputation. On the contrary, it is famous for the fact that all participants will pass the exam.

Therefore, countless students came to her with huge amounts of gold, silver and treasures just to ask for her guidance.

But she only selects a few students with potential for training every year, focusing on quality rather than quantity.

Others said she was stupid for not wanting to take up such a good opportunity to make money, but they also had to admire her outstanding training results.

Wen Weilan had been preparing for the imperial examination since she was young, and she didn't need to participate in intensive training, so she didn't know much about it. Now she knows that her senior sister's training has such a threshold. She couldn't help but feel a little worried. Although she had confidence in Liu Sheng's intelligence, her senior sister was definitely not someone who would let him off easily. After all, Liu Sheng had never systematically prepared for the imperial examination. What if he really failed?

Nangong Wan saw Wen Weilan’s wrinkled face and smiled gently.

She continued to say to Liu Sheng: "I heard that you were admitted to the Weaving Institute after graduating from Hanshan Academy two years ago. Although it is a weaving institute in a small place, it also shows that you are capable."

"But after so many years, you should have forgotten a lot of knowledge. Not to mention that you are from the Department of Natural Engineering, so your knowledge of technical subjects is limited."

"As for policy essays, it's not necessary. Students who are not majoring in arts will not have relevant courses because policy essays are only useful in the imperial examinations."

"I don't have much confidence in you for the martial arts test. I heard that you only broke through the initial stage this year, less than two months ago. Do you know how many candidates have been training their bones since the age of three and practicing since the age of twelve? There are countless of them. Some even seek out famous teachers to practice with them, and some who are more capable go out hunting monsters to practice fighting."

"I really don't understand why you don't wait until next year to try again? That way I'll have the confidence to accept you and guide you for a whole year. It won't be difficult for you to become a successful candidate."

The imperial examination was such a difficult task with so many people trying to pass through it, but in Nangong Wan's words, it was "not a difficult task". Either she was arrogant or she had absolute confidence.

Liu Sheng was not angry at Nangong Wan's words, and just said calmly: "There is no need to judge first, Senior Sister, you can give it a try."

"Okay." Nangong Wan showed appreciation, "Come over here."

"No one else should follow, including the little girl who played with Xiaotian."

Everyone was shocked, and Ling Xiaoshu, who was rubbing the big yellow dog's head, stopped in fear. She didn't expect that this sister could see her directly.

Upon hearing this, Liu Sheng couldn't help but look up to Senior Sister Nangong. Although Senior Sister's cultivation was not top-notch, she definitely had some outstanding qualities that other people didn't know about.

How could an ordinary cultivator be able to see through the "blindness" of a cosmic-level tree species?

Nangong Wan took Liu Sheng to one of the bamboo houses. It was empty with only a few tables and chairs.

She took out a blank paper and placed it on the table.

"There is a pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table. You can start working on the test. I will collect the papers in an hour."

"Don't cheat. I have set up restrictions here. If you cheat, the consequences will be disastrous."

Liu Sheng responded to show that he understood.

"Okay, just concentrate on writing."

After saying that, Nangong Wan went out, leaving Liu Sheng alone.

Liu Sheng picked up the test paper and looked at the questions one by one.

The first question is a very basic and in-depth essay question.

"On the source of spiritual energy and its circulation between heaven and earth."

The second question:
"On how the theory of Yin Yang and the Five Elements can be applied to the harmony of spiritual energy, and its effect on improving the cultivation of practitioners."

Liu Sheng nodded, thoughtfully.

This question reflects the integration of current practice theories and ancient theories, and requires the answerer to have some knowledge of ancient books.

……

After the ten essay questions on arts, there is a big policy essay question.

"Strange things are happening more and more frequently. The safety of the country and the happiness and misfortune of the people all depend on this. Let's discuss the country's prevention and control strategies for strange things."

Liu Sheng pondered for a moment, turned back to the first question, dipped the brush in ink, and began to write in the blank space below the question.
