Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 11: Shangquan City
In the following days, Tang Jie continued to spend time in Moxiangju, searching for information, including some correspondence and event records. He studied it every day, often not coming out until evening.
At this time, most of the students of Xiyue College who are aspiring to be true disciples have already started to take action, leaving the college one after another for Yanzhou. Even everyone from Xiaoyao Society has formed a team and set off separately.
Among the outstanding students in the same period, the only one who has not shown interest in the true inheritance is probably An Rumeng. As a student of Qianqing Sect, she does not need to consider the issue of true inheritance. Ever since she was sent here, she has Her true identity was destined.
Only Tang Jie remained firm and motionless.
Wei Tianchong's appetite to become the true successor was whetted by him. Seeing that Tang Jie was silent, he felt a little anxious and went to ask several times.
But Tang Jie always said calmly: "What's the hurry? Everyone is ready to make a decision and then act on it. Why can't they lose their composure when the time comes to really make a plan?"
"I'm afraid that if I go too late, Lin Lang will be taken away!" Wei Tianchong said helplessly.
"Isn't that what you want?" Tang Jie replied with a smile.
Wei Tianchong was speechless: "I don't want to fight, you forced me to fight, and now you don't look anxious or angry, what does it mean?"
Tang Jie patted Wei Tianchong: "Don't worry, since I want you to become the true successor, I will not give up easily no matter what. Lin Lang is not so easy to catch, and the person who ran too fast at the beginning may not be the second one." One has reached the end. While you are free during this period, you should practice hard first and improve your Yanluo Steps and Gouxie Yin Soldiers as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, I've been practicing recently and I'm very familiar with it."
"That's good."
A few days passed in the blink of an eye.
Seeing that almost all the students from Xiyue Academy who could leave had left, Tang Jie finally sent a message to Wei Tianchong: Get ready to leave.
Hearing the news, Wei Tianchong and Shi Meng quickly packed their bags.
The three of them came together, but Tang Jie headed towards the hanging platform first.
"What are you doing there?" Wei Tianchong was puzzled.
"Take a task." Tang Jie replied: "Since we are traveling, let's take on some other contribution tasks. I still owe the college's contribution."
The two felt dizzy again as they listened.
Are you still in the mood to take on other tasks?
The fact is that Tang Jie just went to the table to look for a mission.
Anyway, it’s just a trip. There’s not much difference between doing one task and doing two tasks.
After searching around on the reward list, Tang Jie finally accepted the task of eradicating the fox plague in Wanxinzhuang.
Wanxinzhuang is a village located in Taiping County, Cangzhou. It is currently experiencing a fox disaster. It is said that a demon fox is causing trouble nearby.
The Xiyue Sect is enshrined by the world, so it is natural that they must eliminate harm for the world. Regulating rivers, regulating wind and rain, and cleaning up disasters are tasks that the Xiyue Sect receives all year round.
The Xiyue Sect’s platform branch is responsible for these ten thousand fox disasters. It can be dealt with directly according to the reasons. However, the demon fox is weak in strength but cunning in nature. The platform branch does not have so much energy to play with it. In addition, Every year, various places will take the initiative to send some tasks to the academy for training, so they leave this matter to the academy.
The tasks received by Xiyue Sect or Xiyue Academy are generally divided into three types.
One kind cannot be dealt with locally, so we can only ask experts from the field to come forward.
One type is those who can handle it but don’t have enough manpower, and they will also apply.
The third type is the current one, which takes the initiative to give college students the opportunity to practice.
The time limit for this task is three months. If no student completes this task within three months, the platform branch will handle it on its own.
A month and a half had passed. Tang Jie took him over and had a student write a certificate for him.
If the task is completed, you will get two contribution points. If you fail, you will get one point of contribution deducted.
Tang Jie had no worries about his debts, so he just took it and left.
Wei Tianchong saw this strangely and chased Tang Jie and asked, "Wanxinzhuang is in Cangzhou. Why are you taking over Cangzhou's mission? This is not in line with Yanzhou!"
Tang Jie asked as he walked: "What are we going to Yanzhou for?"
This question made Wei Tianchong and Shi Meng feel numb.
Wei Tianchong almost went crazy: "Lin Lang is in Yanzhou! Where can we catch him if we don't go to Yanzhou?"
Tang Jie suddenly realized, "Oh, we are not going to Yanzhou."
"Then where are we going?"
Tang Jie replied: "Liuyun Academy. If you want to catch Lin Lang, you must first investigate his past!"
Coincidentally, Tang Jie adopted exactly the same approach as Gu Changqing.
Luckily than Gu Changqing, at least in Liuyun Academy, Lin Lang is destined to leave much more information than Tang Jie did!
After leaving Xiyue Academy, Wei Tianchong and Shi Meng hurried all the way to Cangzhou. With their speed, it was naturally much faster than before. It only took a few days to arrive at Cangzhou. .
Cangzhou is located in the south of Wenxin. It is located in a warm and humid place with abundant spiritual energy. Wenxin is also considered a land of outstanding people and there are more than 20 sects of various sizes.
Liuyun Academy is located in Shangquan City, Cangzhou, and belongs to the Liuyun Sect. The Liuyun Sect is also a relatively famous sect in the local area. Its leader is Tian Xinjing Zhenren Lin Xudu, the fourth generation leader of the Liuyun Sect. .
After Tang Jie and others arrived in Cangzhou, they traveled another day and entered Shangquan City before sunset that night, where they found an inn to rest for the night.
Early the next morning, Tang Jie called up Wei Tianchong and others: "Take some time to get ready to meet people."
"Going to Liuyun Academy?" Shi Meng fetched water for Wei Tianchong.
"No, let's go to the Shangquancheng branch church first. We are new here and are not familiar with the place. Let's visit the local branch church first. The branch leader here is familiar with the Liuyun sect, and the relationship is pretty good. If they come forward to speak out, it will save a lot of trouble."
"Got it."
The Shangquan branch of the Xiyue Sect is located in the most prosperous area of the Dongcheng District of Shangquan City. Tang Jie and three other people walked from a distance and saw a large courtyard with flying eaves, arched walls and carved beams and painted buildings. It was the ultimate luxury in the world. Wei Tianchong had to sigh at the extraordinary courage of this Xian family sect.
This is just a small branch hall. I really don’t know what the situation of the Moon Washing Sect’s main altar is like.
When I arrived at the door of the branch hall, I saw two guards guarding the door.
The two guards are both mortals, but looking at their bulging temples, they are obviously masters among mortals, but now they can only guard the gate of this small branch hall.
Even so, they looked very proud and obviously proud of it.
A dog in front of a fairy house is more glorious than a mortal.
Seeing this scene, Tang Jie couldn't help but sigh. When you were in the academy, you might not think it was anything special. But once you left the academy and entered the mortal world, you immediately felt the difference.
Without anything else, just the moon-white student shirt that showed his identity was enough to make everyone look sideways. Along the way, even the carriages of high-ranking officials and nobles would move out of the way.
People often think that disciples of the Immortal Sect must be arrogant and domineering. In fact, wherever disciples need to be arrogant, those who have the eyes will know what to do. Of course, if there are those who are really ignorant, the students may actually learn to teach them a lesson. The so-called arrogant atmosphere is actually gradually generated in this subtle way.
No matter students, immortals, or mortals, they are actually accustomed to this hierarchical system.
At this moment, when the two gatekeepers saw Tang Jie and others approaching, they saluted at the same time without saying anything: "Are these three Xiyue students?"
Wei Tianchong snorted and was about to speak when Tang Jie stopped him, shook his head, and then said to the two people: "Student Xiyue, second-year term, Tang Jie, Wei Tianchong, Shi Meng, If you have anything to see Hall Master Chang Xinkuan Chang, please let me know."
"Please wait a moment, you three." A gatekeeper has entered in a hurry.
A white-faced middle-aged man came out after a while, checked the student orders of the three people, and after confirming that they were correct, said: "Master Chang is waiting in the back room. Please follow me, three of you."
Following the middle-aged man, they walked through the courtyard of the deep house and passed through the nine-curved corridor. The three of them soon arrived at a small, deep courtyard.
There was a pergola in the small courtyard, with a stone table placed under the frame and a bamboo deck chair next to it.
There is a person lying on the recliner at the moment. He looks to be in his forties and fat. He is holding a purple clay teapot in his hand and is lying on the chair and shaking.
The white-faced scholar man brought the three of them to the front and bowed to the fat man: "My boss, the three students have arrived."
"Yes." The fat man closed his eyes and waved his hand to ask the scholar to retreat.
Then he slowly sat up and looked at the three of them.
Although he is fat, when he opens his eyes at this moment, his eyes are shining, but he has an intimidating aura.
"You three are my Xiyue disciples who want to meet me?" Hall Master Chang said in a low voice, his voice was like gold and iron, and every word struck the hearts of the three of them.
Tang Jie winked, and the three of them took a step forward at the same time, clasping their fists and saying, "Students Tang Jie, Wei Tianchong, and Shi Meng have met Master Chang!"
"Well, I am quite polite." Hall Master Chang took a sip of tea slowly, waved his hand and said, "Sit down, please speak slowly if you have anything to say."
A beautiful maid came forward and brought chairs for the three of them.
In terms of status, Chang Xinkuan, as the leader of Shangquan Hall, still has a much higher status than Tang Jie and others. However, Xiyue students have unlimited potential, and no one knows what achievements they will have in the future. Therefore, Hall Master Chang also I'll remain somewhat polite.
At this moment, the three of them sat down, and Hall Master Chang said: "Three students who don't practice well in the academy~IndoMTL.com~ came to my Shangquan branch, but what's the business?"
"It's like this..." Tang Jie gave a brief summary of Yan Changfeng's recruitment of disciples, and then said: "If you want to catch Lin Lang, you must know something about him."
Chang Xinkuan understood: "So that's it. So you came here and wanted to go into Liuyun Academy to check it out?"
"Exactly."
"But haven't the information about Lin Lang been given to you?"
"It's still not enough." Tang Jie replied: "The information only records things about Lin Lang, but what about the people who are good friends with Lin Lang? Who is he closely related to? What are the identities of these people? But none of them are . Even about Lin Lang, there is only information on the surface, and some more specific content is not available."
"So..."
"So we need to ask the hall master for help, let us enter Liuyun Academy and check the information of the students there."
Chang Xinkuan was stunned at first, and then laughed.
He laughed so loudly, the sound was like a bell, which made everyone's ears tremble. Wei Tianchong wanted to cover his ears, but saw that Tang Jie was unmoved, so he could only endure it.
After laughing, Chang Xinkuan said: "Are you kidding? Looking up the student information of Liuyun Academy? Lin Xudu would not agree."
"That's why we have to ask the hall master to come forward. If the hall master comes forward, I believe Lin Zhenren will give this face."
"Presumptuous!" Chang Xingkuan slapped the recliner and roared violently, which frightened Wei Tian and several others.
Chang Xinkuan pointed at the three of them: "You little guys, you want to send this hall master to do something? Do you want me to come forward to speak for you and release the information for you to query? I'm talking nonsense!"
Tang Jie was unmoved: "So, Hall Master Chang is unwilling to help?"
Chang Xinkuan said unceremoniously: "Nonsense! If you want me to come forward, just bring me an official letter! If you don't have an official letter, don't mention this matter!"
