Chapter 3 The Student Forest
In any case, with Tang Jie's persuasion, Wei Tianchong did not travel all the way, and the speed of the convoy finally increased a lot. Thanks to the guardian of the spiritual master, after a arduous journey, they arrived safely in Wanxin Kingdom. spring city.
As the capital of Wenxin, Wanquan City is majestic and majestic, and it cannot be compared with Canglong Mansion. The whole city is prosperous and prosperous. The road alone is eight lanes wide. The buildings on both sides are carved with carved beams and painted buildings, and the jade eaves are full of luxury.
The carriage was kicking and kicking on the bluestone road, and at every intersection, you could almost see a fountain with different shapes and poses.
It is said that there is an underground river under Wanquan City, so there are springs everywhere in the city. Some predecessors counted them in detail, and they couldn't count them until they counted more than 3,000. Later, they were named Wanquan City.
Wanquan City is divided into inner and outer cities, and the inner city is the Wenxin Kingdom Imperial Palace. Although it is said that the Immortal School is supreme, as the earthly agent of the Immortal Clan, the Imperial City still has its unique dignity and status.
There is Qingyun Mountain in the eastern suburb of the outer city, and the famous Xiyue Academy is on the Xinxiu Peak of Qingyun Mountain. The difference is that this mountain was not formed naturally, but was formed by the great power of the Xiyue Sect with the supreme immortal method. Therefore, the name of the mountain Qingyun and the name of the peak Xinxiu refer to the rookie cultivating immortals who are on the rise. the meaning of.
The carriage went all the way to Qingyun Mountain. After passing through Wanquan City, it came to the foot of Qingyun Mountain. There was a lake at the foot of the mountain, like a jade belt passing around the mountain. Surrounded by this Yudai Lake, it is said that there are cannibal lake monsters in the lake, and there is no boat to pass except the special Xianjia ferry.
In other words, the entire Qingyun Mountain is actually the Xiyue Academy, and even if you want to get out of the Xiyue Academy after entering, you have to get a nod from the academy.
After coming to the foot of the mountain, you can see a group of buildings built along the lake. This is the famous "Xuezilin", which is the residence of the students of Xiyue College outside the college.
According to the regulations of the Xiyue Academy, the students of Xiyue are not allowed to bring servants after entering the academy, but in order to prevent their young master from being wronged, the major families can always find loopholes in the rules.
You are not allowed to bring servants? Then I will guide the servants to learn, and you can't say anything about the mutual help among the students.
And the rules of the college can only take effect in the college after all. In this case, I will build a house outside the college and keep people behind. According to the rules of the college, students can come out one day a month, and if they have anything to do, they can come here to find the servants who stay outside to solve it-the servant school is only to solve the internal affairs of the college, and there are other people who are in charge of it outside. .
So human wisdom is infinite, no matter what limitations you have, I can always find a loophole to crack.
Xue Zilin was born in this way.
The Wei family also bought a house in Xuezilin, but it is shared with the two elder brothers of the Wei family. Anyway, everyone comes out one day a month, so this house is enough.
After the convoy arrived, a resident boy arranged by the Wei family had already come to greet them.
Wei Tian rushed out of the car, looked at the house, frowned and said, "Isn't this too small?"
This house has a courtyard and four main rooms, with a square layout. It looks like a courtyard house in old Beijing. In terms of area, it is far inferior to Jingxin Garden. The three young masters each live in one main room, and the servants live in one. .
Wei Tianchong had never lived in such a small house in Wei's house.
The young man was called Lin Mao, and when he heard Wei Tianchong's question at this moment, he smiled and said, "Master, the house is small, but I don't know how much it costs."
Wei Tian was stunned: "Why is this house very expensive?"
The boy held up three fingers.
"Three thousand taels?" Wei Tianchong asked suspiciously, thinking that the price was a bit expensive, no wonder Niang was reluctant to buy a bigger one.
"It's thirty thousand taels!" The boy said seriously.
"What?" Wei Tianchong almost didn't jump up: "What about stealing money? It costs 30,000 taels for such a small place?"
Thirty thousand taels of silver, that is thirty million in this world!
This house is about 200 square meters including the yard.
In other words, one hundred and fifty thousand square meters!
The most expensive house in Canglong Mansion is only about 10,000 square meters per square meter, so Wei Tianchong thinks that three thousand taels is quite expensive. The house Tang Jie bought at Fengpingdu back then was bigger than the one in front of him. , only one hundred and fifty taels, I didn't expect that this dilapidated house would cost thirty thousand taels, even Tang Jie's jaw dropped.
The boy laughed and said: "There is no way, most of the people who can come to Xiyue College are either rich or expensive. This house is worthless, but the surrounding land is gone, so this Yudai Lake The price of the surrounding area is one price a year, and it can be turned up as the flowers change. It is still relatively cheap here, with the wonderful scenery of the mountains and the lake, and the house of 100,000 taels is rushed for. "
One hundred thousand taels, that is one hundred million!
This is mainly due to the fact that students only come to live for one day a month, so that’s why the price has risen to this level. If Xiyue sends someone who does not have a student forest household registration and cannot enroll, hehe, the price will probably go up even more. run away.
Thinking of a house that could sell for hundreds of millions of dollars, Tang Jie felt a faint pain in his gut, and spontaneously squeezed out a few words: "A house in the school district!"
Because of the abundance of aura, the existence of the immortal family and the smooth weather all year round, the productivity of Qixia Realm is relatively developed, but the folk life is very ordinary. Now it seems that the wealth is concentrated in this place of cultivating immortals.
"It's too cruel!" Even Wei Tianchong, a prodigal bastard, felt heartbroken at the price.
Fortunately, the young man persuaded: "But this is not without reason. Although the house is expensive, the young master can still resell it after finishing his studies. If the young master can become a disciple or even a disciple, then this is a piece of blessed land. At that time, the master and wife will sell the house again, and someone will ask for 50,000 taels. Do you know, young master, that the most expensive houses in this student forest are not the ones with the best scenery, but those who have given birth to students. So Mrs. and Mrs. are also investing money and doing it as a business."
Sure enough, no matter what is related to the preservation and appreciation of value, it is doomed to fail.
Wei Tianchong asked: "Then what if I become an abandoned student?"
The young man trembled in fright, thinking why the young master was so unreasonable, he wanted to be kicked out before entering school, he could only laugh apologetically, but he didn't dare to answer the question.
"If you become an abandoned student, I'm afraid this house won't be worth even ten thousand taels." Tang Jie said with a smile, "So, young master, your grades in school are directly related to the Wei family's tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of taels." It costs money. If you don’t study hard, it will never work.”
"You don't want to do that, do you want me to recite disciple rules? I won't recite them!" Wei Tianchong replied angrily.
"It's also for your own good to memorize the disciple's rules. Only by familiarizing yourself with the rules can you make fewer mistakes and think more when doing things. You don't want to be deducted points and sent home because you don't understand the rules, do you?" Tang Jie replied with a smile.
Wei Tian turned his head: "Then I won't memorize it, don't you still have you? Don't think I don't know, you just want to be lazy, and leave me alone when you enter the academy, and you are afraid that something will happen to me, so you let me I recite the rules myself, hmph, I'm not as good as you."
"Sure enough, getting along for three years is not in vain, and now you know me more and more, young master." Tang Jie replied with a smile.
"Hmph, I knew that was the case." Wei Tianchong triumphantly pointed at Tang Jie: "Also, don't ask me for your top ten disciples, I'm not that interested."
"This matter, I really can't just give up like this. Even if I use a sedan chair carrying eight people, I have to carry you to that position." Tang Jie said with a grin.
"Really...really...I'm really afraid of you!" Wei Tianchong had no choice but to go directly to his room, and was entangled by Tang Jie to hide.
The boy had never seen a servant talking to his master like this before, he was a little stupid for a while, looked at Tang Jie and then at Wei Tianchong, he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Ask Shi Meng: "Is he a servant?"
Shi Meng looked at him with the eyes of an idiot: "Yes. What's the matter? The servant can't joke with the master? It's rare and strange."
With a shake of his hand, he left.
———————————
Because they arrived ahead of time, everyone stayed in this house to rest for a few days. During this period, Wei Die's elder brother Wei Ming came to visit the young master, but Wei Tianchong's elder brother Wei Tianzhi didn't come. It is said that he is participating in the trial of some academy, and he has no skills at all.
When the cousins met, they were classmates again, so they set up a table in the yard to drink and chat that night, but when it came to college, Wei Ming was reluctant to talk, and kept few words. Tang Jie heard that he was originally a cheerful personality People can make cheerful people silent, obviously life is not going well.
In the end, he drank a little too much, Wei Ming grabbed Wei Tianchong's hand and said: "Little brother, listen to me. Since you are here, work hard, and don't be as naughty as before. This Xiyue College It's not the Wei family, it's hard to get ahead here!"
Wei Tianchong was confused by what he said, looked at Wei Ming and said, "Is it because someone bullied you?"
"Bullying?" Wei Ming laughed loudly: "Who has the skills to bully others after entering the Xiyue Academy? When you are promoted to a higher level in the future, you may encounter people who are rampant. As for now...you have to Fight for the right to be bullied first!"
As he said that, Wei Ming slapped Wei Tian Chong several times, and walked away.
Wei Tianchong was taken aback by Wei Ming's performance. He had never heard that he had to be qualified to be bullied. He was a little scared. He tossed and turned all night, but he didn't sleep well.
On the morning of the third day, the college registration finally started.
Walking out of Xuezilin, I came to the ferry of Yudai Lake, and saw a huge Longshoulou boat stopping at the ferry.
This large boat is so huge that it looks like it can carry nearly ten thousand people. It is reasonable to say that it can't sail in the shallow lake at all, but now it appears at the ferry majesticly. Naturally, it is the effect of the fairy family's magic, and I am very envious.
Countless people were already waiting on the ferry. Although there were only 1,500 students, there were so many people coming and going to see them off that the number reached nearly 10,000. These tens of thousands of people can be said to be the children of the elite and nobles of the entire Wenxin Kingdom. It was really a brick, and nine out of ten were rich and noble, and the remaining one was a prince or princess. Anyone who stepped on their feet might be someone Mr. Xiangye.
However, there are so many heavenly darlings standing in front of the Xiyue College, but none of them dare to speak out. From this point, it is understandable why people want to become immortals even if they break their scalps.
There is also a sign hanging at the entrance of the ferry, which says "Stop here!", and there are two moon-white gowns standing next to the sign, with long swords on their backs, they should be the students of Xiyue Academy who are responsible for acceptance. up.
Seeing the sign, Tang Jie picked up his luggage and said, "Let's go, next, we have to go there by ourselves."
Looking at the entrance of the ferry, and thinking about Wei Ming's performance the night before, Wei Tianchong, who had never been taken care of by his family since he was a child, suddenly shuddered for no reason, and blurted out, "The entrance to the hospital is as deep as the sea."
Looking back at the steward and others who saw him off, tears burst into tears suddenly, and said: "Guan Zhang, thank you for seeing me off all the way, tell my mother when I get back, I miss her!"
Guanshi Zhang was taken aback, thinking why the child had suddenly changed his sexuality and became so sensible, knowing that it was not easy to be considerate of him seeing him off all the way.
The next moment Wei Tianchong said: "Suddenly I don't want to go to school..."
Guanshi Zhang staggered and almost didn't fall over.
Fortunately, Wei Tianchong was suffering from stage fright for a while. He also knew what would happen if he gave up and went home to wait for him. Tang Jie pulled him a hand, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and move forward.
Due to the large number of students, everyone queued up to enter, perhaps because they had been ordered in advance, and there were not many arrogant people there.
In fact, it is inevitable for the children of rich families to be arrogant, but this does not mean that they will be arrogant under any circumstances. At least here, they know that they cannot become arrogant. Of course, it will be difficult to say after a long time.
Just as everyone held their breath and waited to board the boat, a crisp bell sounded from behind.
When everyone turned their heads, they saw a gleaming golden carriage stopped at the ferry, and a few men in gold clothes stepped out of the carriage and got off the carriage. They didn't speak, but just stood aside and watched the crowd.
"Who are those people? Are they also students who came to enroll? Why didn't they come to line up?" Someone whispered.
"Those are all seniors who have already entered the academy, so naturally they don't need to line up, they just come to maintain order."
"Nonsense, the students of Xiyue Academy are all dressed in uniform, all in white shirts, how can they have gold clothes? Besides, it's not right to look at their age."
"That's because these few are different from others. They are all exchange students from Tianshen Palace. They are breaking the rules. It's so strange to wear the traditional attire of Tianshen Palace."
"It turned out to be a student from Tianshen Palace."
There was a lot of discussion.
A few years ago, some people from Tianshen Palace came to Xiyue Academy. It is said that they were engaged in some kind of fairy art exchange, exchanging students. Due to the relationship between the region and the accent, this matter cannot be concealed, so some people who are well-informed still know about it, but they did not expect it just now. See you when you enter.
However, they usually wear moon white shirts, only today they change into gold clothes, this is the first time in many years.
This is because the students of this period are already the last year that Tang Jie can enter Xiyue College. After this year, if Tang Jie hasn't appeared yet, there is no need to wait any longer. It doesn't matter if you don't leave - anyway, the information is already in hand, and it is no longer a purposeless pursuit.
Therefore, when the students enrolled this time, Tianshen Palace made an exception and took the initiative to show up and search for Tang Jie with great fanfare.
"Tianjin Palace..." Hearing this name, Tang Jie raised his head and looked at the men in golden clothes on the carriage.
At that time, a mysterious smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he murmured: "As expected..."
"What's coming?" Wei Tianchong asked Tang Jie casually when he heard this.
Tang Jie didn't answer, but just smiled lightly.
The next moment, he suddenly did something that shocked everyone.
He rushed out of the group, jumped onto a nearby carriage, and rolled onto the roof.
Standing on the roof of the car, Tang Jie shouted loudly: "I, Tang Jie, finally came to Xiyue College today as I wished and became a student of Xiyue College. There must be a place for me, Tang Jie!"
The yelling spread in all directions, shocking everyone, and the men in golden clothes looked at Tang Jie together.
There was a loud noise, and the originally quiet atmosphere suddenly became noisy.
Only then did Tang Jie jump off the carriage and return to Wei Tianchong's side.
Wei Tianchong was taken aback by him, and shouted: "Tang Jie, are you crazy? How dare you yell at the gate of Xiyue College!"
Tang Jie smiled and replied: "It's just a strong ambition. Didn't the ancient strongmen all have such an experience? If you don't express your emotions and show your ambition, how can you be called bold?"
"But this is Xiyue College, so many nobles dare not be presumptuous, and you are not afraid of being deducted points if you shout at the gate of the college?" Wei Tianchong was so angry that he was going crazy.
They all said that they were ignorant, so why was Tang Jie even more ignorant than himself when he was ignorant?
He also knows that he is ignorant!
Tang Jie said with a smile: "Of course I'm not afraid, because this is not an academy, and the academy will never deduct my points for this. If you don't believe me, take a look."
He pointed to the two students in the distance with his chin, and sure enough, the two students who washed the moon just glanced at him, but they didn't react at all.
Wei Tianchong breathed a sigh of relief: "Anyway, it's better to be cautious!"
He actually persuaded Tang Jie to act cautiously, as expected, the world is full of wonders.
Tang Jie laughed and said, "Of course I'm cautious. It's because I'm cautious that I have to memorize the disciple rules. If you know what you can't do, you will naturally know what you can do..."
"If you know what you can't do, you know what you can do?" Wei Tianchong's eyes lit up.
"That's right! How about it, young master, will you recite the rules of discipleship with me? If you recite the rules of discipleship, you can do many things that you could not do otherwise!"
"……I will think about it."
The motivation to decisively break the rules is always greater than the motivation to obey the rules!
