Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 6: Taoranju
Teaching Wei Tianchong's disciples Gui didn't end until a messenger flying talisman came over in the evening to inform them that dinner was ready.
The cafeteria of the college is called Qianweixuan. As the name suggests, it has all kinds of exquisite food in Qixia, basically everything you can think of.
However, when I got in, I realized that things were not as beautiful as I imagined.
Fifteen hundred students went to the cafeteria to eat, but there was only one window for sale!
One!
A queue of 1,500 people lined up directly from inside the hall to outside, forming a super long queue.
Wei Tian rushed to Tang Jie and the others a little late, and was shocked when he saw this scene.
Wei Tianchong shouted: "Why are there so many people? How long will this take?"
"Stop talking nonsense and get in line quickly." Tang Jie had already pulled Wei Tianchong to the back of the queue.
Wei Tianchong had never had this experience before. He shouted: "No, let me see if I can go to the front."
"Young Master." Tang Jie said heartbrokenly: "Put what you have learned into practice!"
Wei Tianchong was shocked. He looked to the left and right, but found nothing. He asked in a low voice: "Are they all hiding?"
"You still need to ask?" Tang Jie snorted.
It didn't take long for the development of things to confirm Tang Jie's prediction.
A young master from an unknown family saw that the queue was so long and wanted to get the meal directly without queuing. Then, like ghosts, two students in moon-white gowns suddenly appeared in the lobby. They laughed and pulled the young master aside. , just whispered a few words, the young master's face turned pale, he obediently took out the score card, and then the light flashed, and the card returned to his hand.
The two students disappeared, and the young master returned to the team and began to line up silently.
Wei Tianchong was sweating profusely when he saw it: "There are traps everywhere, there are traps everywhere! This is not a college for cultivating immortals, this is simply a college for cheating people."
A lot of points were deducted for not queuing properly. Fortunately, it was only one point. The problem was that the queue itself was too long.
Wei Tianchong waited in line for them for a long time before finally getting the food. When he saw the food, Wei Tianchong immediately shouted: "What the **** is this?"
A bowl of brown rice, two slices of bacon, a few cauliflowers and a bowl of clear soup.
Even Shi Meng took a breath after looking at it.
"Didn't you say that everything eaten in the academy is spiritual food and spiritual things?" Wei Tianchong asked angrily: "Didn't you say that Qianweixuan has everything here? What is this? Things that even pigs won't eat!"
Tang Jie pointed to the plaque on the canteen, which clearly read: "Ten portions of spiritual food, while supplies last. 100 portions of delicacies, while supplies last. No limit on coarse grains."
Tang Jie pointed to the rice bowl: "Did you see it? Like Li Yu's spiritual wine, it is in limited supply. If you come late, you can only eat whole grains. Let's try to come earlier next time."
Wei Tianchong almost cried: "Is there no other way?"
"Yes, there is a charge window over there." Tang Jie pointed to the corner.
Wei Tianchong saw that there was indeed a small window open over there. He walked over and took a look, and was immediately shocked: "A bowl of polished rice costs one spiritual coin?"
"A bowl of pork costs three spiritual coins." Shi Meng also shook his head sadly.
"A piece of spiritual food costs ten spiritual coins." Tang Jie also felt helpless.
This is too dark!
"I really don't know how those students survived." Shi Meng sighed as he looked at them.
Hearing this, Tang Jie's heart moved.
Right?
Why don’t you see those senior brothers buying food here?
Looking around, this cafeteria is almost full of freshmen.
How do those senior brothers eat?
But even if you ask this question, it is in vain. The only senior brothers Tang Jie and the others can contact are the pickets, all of whom are staring at your points. Seeking knowledge from them is like sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth, and you can only think about it later.
Whether he accepted it or not, Wei Tianchong finally gritted his teeth and bought a portion of refined rice and a piece of fish, and ate with clear soup. As for Tang Jie and the others, they could only eat whole grains.
While eating everyone's hearts, they scolded Xiyue Academy. From time to time, I saw someone unlucky and had their points deducted, which made me feel happy again.
Happiness sometimes has to be based on the pain of others.
In just a short time, seven or eight people had already had their points deducted, and all of them could only line up with sad faces.
Wei Tianchong wanted to see what would happen if he was popular but made a scene at the venue, but unfortunately he didn't see any such idiot.
But it felt wrong when he looked at it, so Wei Tianchong asked: "Why are the young masters all the unlucky ones, while all the servants and students are fine?"
"What's so strange about this? Young master, if you've ever been wronged, you're naturally the easiest to cheat on, unlike our servants, who are used to being angry." Tang Jie replied.
Wei Tianchong suddenly realized: "No wonder that student would specifically pick on me for provocation... Wait, Tang Jie, what do you mean by this? Do you feel that I am annoying you?"
Tang Jie looked up to the sky and laughed: "Look, Master, what you said, I'm talking about most of them, not including you."
"So you mean I'm fine?"
"That's right, young master, you are a courteous and virtuous corporal. You have always regarded our servants as friends, and you are most magnanimous." Tang Jie replied without blushing.
"It's good if you know." Wei Tianchong was deeply satisfied.
Then he saw that Tang Jie's chopsticks had reached towards him, and he took a large piece of meat from the fish he had just exchanged for three spiritual coins and put it in his mouth to eat.
Wei Tianchong was furious and was about to teach Tang Jie a lesson, but then he remembered that he had just said that he regarded his servants as friends, but he couldn't get angry and could only endure it.
Shi Meng watched Tang Jie eating fish and wanted to have some chopsticks, but he didn't expect that Wei Tianchong had learned his lesson and put a whole fish in his bowl first.
The waiter dreamed that he would not be able to grab the fish from the young master's bowl after all, so he could only give up in frustration, looking at the bowl of clear soup and coarse grains, he wanted to cry without tears.
Even a servant never had such a bad meal when he was in the Wei family!
After dinner, the three masters and servants had nothing to do and took a walk in the college.
The environment of Xinyue Academy is really beautiful. If you walk around, you will find picturesque places everywhere.
Occasionally, one or two female cultivators would pass by, and Wei Tianchong and Shi Meng would look directly at them, barely even whistling.
The sixteen-year-old boy's physical development has gradually matured, and he has begun to understand that ladies are good.
Unfortunately, Xiyue Academy has a strong yang and a weak yin. There are more men than women, and there is only one female cultivator among ten students. Therefore, these female cultivators all have their eyes high and easily ignore the boys.
While walking, Wei Tianchang suddenly said: "I finally understand."
"What do you understand, young master?" Tang Jie asked.
"In this Xiyue Academy, you have to fight for everything!" Wei Tianchong said bitterly: "You have to fight for spiritual wine, points, and even meals. I guess you don't have to fight for the honor. !"
"That's right." Shi Meng agreed.
"It's not enough to understand this, you must apply what you have learned, young master!" Tang Jie reminded.
"I understand what you mean. It's as good as I expected..." Wei Tianchong shook his head and said in the tone of a military advisor: "Then classes will start tomorrow, and they will probably have to fight for it. Maybe there are only a few seats. If you come late, you can only stand and listen to the class."
Tang Jie clapped his hands with his fist: "Young master, you finally understand!"
Wei Tianchong looked up to the sky and laughed three times, full of pride.
After a while, he came back to his senses, and his expression suddenly changed: "Damn, doesn't that mean I can't sleep in from now on?"
"Just wait to get up before dawn." Tang Jie said leisurely: "Don't worry, I will call you."
On the way back, Tang Jie found a tree board and took it away.
Wei Tianchong curiously asked him what it was for, and Tang Jie replied that he wanted to make a door plaque to add a name to his residence.
This Xiyue College is very competitive, but it likes to pay attention to the appearance of elegance. The students all like to be arty. Students often inscribe plaques in front of their residences, such as "Wolongxuan", "Qingxintang", "Mingzhiju", etc. wait.
Tang Jie thought that if he wanted to live here for ten years, he would have to give his residence a name.
Wei Tianchong was very interested in what he heard, and he and Shi Meng each found a door panel to take back.
After Tang Jie went back, he named his residence "Taoran Ju". What he wanted was great freedom and freedom. Although this Taoran world, the life of being free from the worldly world did not suit his state of mind, it still had some It is an artistic conception of being free and free from dust.
Serving Meng seemed much simpler. I thought since it was arty, I might as well name it Feng Yating.
When we arrived at Wei Tianchong, we racked our brains and couldn't think of a good name, and finally decided to use the old name.
One stroke of the pen.
The three characters "Jingxin Garden" appeared crookedly on the door plaque.
——————————————
In a house in Xuezi Lin, the number here is Yulin No. 45.
But privately, it is also known as the "Eagle's Nest".
In the Eagle's Nest, Gu Changqing was sitting in front of the case, holding a stack of documents and reading non-stop.
These are all the information of students enrolled in this semester. Tianshen Palace also spent a lot of effort and cost to obtain them.
While Gu Changqing was watching, he would write comments from time to time, asking someone to be observed carefully or to be closely monitored.
While he was studying, a man in golden clothes rushed into the door: "Good news..."
"Get out!" Gu Changqing shouted without raising his head.
The man in gold clothes was stunned for a moment, and Gu Changqing shouted again: "Get out, learn how to knock before you come in!"
The man's face twitched, he endured the sigh, turned and left the room, closed the door and knocked hard: "My subordinate Zhao Xinguo has something to report to the Deputy Eagle Master!"
"Come in."
Then Zhao Xinguo opened the door and said, "Just now when the new students entered school, they found a student named Tang Jie standing up and calling loudly."
"Then what?"
"Then?" Zhao Xinguo was stunned: "Then...then he shouted that Tang Jie must be among the top ten disciples..."
Gu Changqing finally raised his head and looked at Zhao Xinguo, with a look of reluctance in his eyes: "Is this your good news?"
Zhao Xinguo took a deep breath: "All the freshmen entered the school with trepidation and did not dare to speak loudly. Only this boy behaves strangely and calls himself Tang Jie. I think it is very suspicious."
Gu Changqing looked at him deeply and pointed to the chair next to him: "Sit down."
Zhao Xinguo sat down, but Gu Changqing ignored him and focused on the matter at hand.
Zhao Xinguo was impatient to wait and called out to his lord, but was forced back by Gu Changqing's sharp eyes and could only continue to sit there.
After a while, there was a knock on the door again: "Yingtang Gaofei has something to report to Master Gu Ying."
"Come in."
Another man entered, but he was not wearing gold clothes, but a coarse cloth gown. After entering, he bowed slightly to Gu Changqing, and then said: "We found a new student named Tang Jie, who is chasing after us. Suo's goals are quite similar."
"Junior brother, you are late. I have already told the deputy eagle master in advance. Remember to do this quickly!" Zhao Xinguo said lazily, his tone full of pride.
Gao Fei just smiled: "Senior Brother Zhao's reaction is naturally very fast, Junior Brother is not as good as that."
"What have you found?" Gu Changqing ignored Zhao Xinguo and just asked.
"After verification, this person's name is Tang Jie. Jie's name has the same pronunciation but different characters. He comes from the Wei family of Canglong Mansion. He is the disciple of Wei Tianchong, the young master of the Wei family. He is the fifth rank of Yumen. Because it took too long , the height can no longer match the original data, but from the appearance, it is somewhat consistent with that Tang Jie, but as the adults said, there are too many people who match the characteristics of little Tang Jie, and it cannot be used as evidence, so I I asked someone to inquire about the young master of the Wei family and found out that Tang Jie entered the Wei family three years ago. The specific origin has not been discovered yet and needs further verification."
"Three years ago...Canglong Mansion...Wei Family..." Gu Changqing smiled: "Then it can be listed as a target for investigation."
As he spoke, he glanced at Zhao Xinguo: "The news must not only be fast, but also be as detailed as possible."
Zhao Xinguo was blushing and speechless.
Gao Fei said: "But it's strange to say that if this Tang Jie is really the person we are looking for, then he should have taken the initiative to avoid us when he saw us coming. Why did he jump out instead?"
Zhao Xinguo finally got the chance and said disdainfully: "There's no need to ask. Maybe he guessed that someone was secretly observing the students' reactions~IndoMTL.com~ He knew that retreating would be disadvantageous and would arouse suspicion, so he deliberately played it out Therefore, the trick of raising suspicion made us think that if he came forward on his own initiative, he could not be Tang Jie. As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place."
"Fart!"
Contrary to Zhao Xinguo's expectation, Gu Changqing slapped the case, knocking a hole out of the long mahogany case. Gu Changqing roared at Zhao Xinguo: "What nonsense? Then according to what you say, Jin Yan Gangfeng is the most dangerous, he has the ability to fly up there! Is it dangerous if you can hide in it?"
Zhao Xinguo was so embarrassed by Gu Changqing’s scolding that he defended: “…The most dangerous thing I mentioned is…the loopholes in thinking.”
"Having loopholes in thinking is called poor thinking. Only incompetent people will pin their hopes on their opponents' mistakes!" Gu Changqing still said rudely: "He Tang Jie knew that he would be suspected if he backed down, so he deliberately stood up Come out and shout? Then we won't doubt him? What the **** is this logic? Aren't we doubting him now? If he is this kind of person, then he is the biggest idiot in the world. Do you think this is the case? Can this idiot escape our close pursuit for three years? Get out of here, useless thing!"
Zhao Xinguo was ashamed and annoyed, so he could only surrender and leave.
Gao Fei watched Zhao Xinguo leave and frowned: "Master Eagle, Senior Brother Zhao is also the son of Zhenren Zhao after all. Is it too much for you to scold him like this?"
"If he wasn't the son of Zhenren Zhao, how could I tolerate this waste?" Gu Changqing snorted coldly: "I've had enough of him a long time ago. He's just the son of Zhenren, so I, Gu Changqing, won't be afraid!"
Gao Fei laughed secretly, but did not dare to continue.
Gu Changqing then said to Gao Fei: "This Tang Jie, number 96, is temporarily classified as Class B. Let's check the details first. Everything will be done according to the regulations."
