Chapter 6 Tao Ranju
Jiaowei Tianchong's disciple Gui continued to teach until the evening when a messenger Feifu came to inform them that the meal was over.
The cafeteria of the college is called Qianweixuan. As the name suggests, there are all kinds of exquisite food in Qixia, basically everything you can think of can be served for you.
However, when I got inside, I realized that things were not as good as I imagined.
Fifteen hundred students went to the cafeteria to eat, but there was only one window for sale!
one!
A line 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 startled when he saw this scene.
Wei Tianchong shouted: "Why are there so many people? When will this be?"
"Stop talking nonsense, let's line up." Tang Jie has pulled Wei Tianchong to the back of the line.
How could Wei Tianchong have such an experience, and shouted: "No, I'll see if I can go to the front."
"Young Master." Tang Jie said heartbroken, "Practice what you have learned!"
Wei Tianchong was startled, looked around, found nothing, and asked in a low voice, "Are you all hiding?"
"Still asking?" Tang Jie snorted.
It didn't take long for the development of things to confirm Tang Jie's prophecy.
A young master from an unknown family saw that the queue was so long and wanted to get his meal without queuing. Then, two students in moon-white gowns suddenly appeared in the lobby like ghosts. After saying a few words in a low voice, the young master's face turned pale, and 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 queue and began to line up silently.
Wei Tianchong watched with sweat profusely: "There are pitfalls everywhere, pitfalls everywhere! This is not Xiuxian Academy, it is simply an academy for scamming people."
Many points were deducted for not queuing properly, but fortunately it was only one point. The problem was that the line itself was too long.
Wei Tianchong waited for them for a long time before he finally got the food. When he saw the food, Wei Tianchong immediately yelled: "What kind of shit is this?"
A bowl of brown rice, two slices of bacon, a few cauliflowers and a bowl of clear soup.
Even Shi Meng was breathless when he saw it.
"Didn't you say that all you eat in the college are spiritual food and spiritual things?" Wei Tian asked angrily, "Didn't you say that this place has everything in Qianweixuan? What is this? Something that even pigs don't eat!"
Tang Jie pointed to the plaque on the cafeteria, on which it was impressively written: "Ten servings of spiritual food, while supplies last. Hundred servings of gourmet food, while supplies last. Unlimited coarse grains."
Tang Jie pointed to the rice bowl: "Did you see it? Like Li Yu's spirit wine, it is limited in supply. If you come late, you can only eat coarse grains. Let's try to come earlier next time."
Wei Tianchong was about to cry: "Is there no other way?"
"Yes, there is a toll window over there." Tang Jie pointed to the corner.
Wei Tianchong saw that there was indeed a small window open over there, and walked over to take a look, and was immediately startled: "A bowl of polished rice costs a piece of spiritual money?"
"One bowl of pork costs three spiritual coins." Shi Meng also shook his head sadly.
"One piece of spiritual food costs ten spiritual coins." Tang Jie also felt helpless.
It's too dark too!
"I really don't know how those students survived." Shi Meng watched and sighed.
Hearing this, Tang Jie's heart moved.
yes?
Why didn't I see those brothers buying food here?
Looking around, the cafeteria is almost full of freshmen.
How did those brothers eat?
But even if you ask this question, it’s useless to ask. The only brothers Tang Jie and the others can get in touch with are those pickets, and they all stare at your points with scornful eyes. Seeking knowledge from them is like sending a sheep to a tiger's mouth, so I can only think about it later.
Regardless of whether he accepted it or not, Wei Tianchong finally gritted his teeth and bought a portion of polished rice and a piece of fish with clear soup. As for Tang Jie, they could only eat coarse grains.
While eating, everyone scolded Xiyue Academy in their hearts, and from time to time, they saw people being unlucky and being deducted points, and they felt happy again.
Happiness sometimes has to be based on the pain of others.
It took only a while, and seven or eight people had already been deducted points, and they could only line up with mournful faces.
Wei Tianchong wanted to see what would happen if he was popular but made a fuss at the venue, but unfortunately he didn't see any such idiots.
But looking at it, it didn't feel right, Wei Tianchong asked: "Why is it the young master who is unlucky, and all the servants are fine?"
"What's so strange about this. Young master, whoever has been wronged is naturally the best way to cheat, unlike our servants, who are used to being angry." Tang Jie replied.
Wei Tianchong suddenly realized: "No wonder that student specially provoked me before...Wait, Tang Jie, what do you mean by that? Do you think that you are annoyed by me?"
Tang Jie looked up to the sky and laughed: "Look at what you said, young master, I'm talking about most of them, excluding you."
"Then you mean I'm fine?"
"That's right, young master, you are a virtuous corporal. You have always regarded our servants as friends, and your bearing is the most grandiose." Tang Jie replied without blushing.
"It's good that you know." Wei Tianchong was deeply satisfied.
Then he saw that Tang Jie's chopsticks had been extended to his side, and he grabbed a large piece of meat from the fish that 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, when he remembered that he had just said that he regarded his servants as friends, but he couldn't get angry, so he had to bear it.
Watching Tang Jie eating fish, Shi Meng wanted to have a chopstick too, but Wei Tianchong had already learned a lesson and put a whole fish in his bowl first.
Shi Mengmeng thought that he would not be able to grab fish from the young master's bowl after all, so he could only give up resentfully, looking at the bowl of clear soup and coarse grains, wanting to cry but not crying.
Even if he was a servant, he never had such a bad meal when he was at Wei's house!
After dinner, the three master and servant took a walk in the college when they had nothing to do.
The environment of Xiyue College is really beautiful. If you walk around casually, there are picturesque places everywhere.
Occasionally, when one or two female cultivators passed by, Wei Tianchong and Shi Meng would stare at them, almost whistling.
A sixteen-year-old boy has gradually matured in physical development and began to understand the beauty of a lady.
It's a pity that Xiyue Academy's yang is strong and yin is weak, there are more men than women, and there will only be one female cultivator in ten students, so these female cultivators all have high eyes and ignore boys easily.
As he was walking, Wei Tiancong suddenly said, "I understand."
"Young master, what do you understand?" Tang Jie asked.
"In Xiyue College, we have to fight for everything!" Wei Tianchong said bitterly, "We have to fight for the spirit wine, the points, and even the food, so there is probably no need to fight for the honor!"
"That's right." Shi Meng agreed.
"Knowing this is not enough, apply what you have learned, young master!" Tang Jie reminded.
"I understand what you mean, it's exactly as I expected..." Wei Tianchong shook his head, and said in the tone of my military master's clever calculation: "Then the class will start tomorrow, and there will probably be a competition. Maybe there are only a few seats, so I came late , you can only stand and listen to the class."
Tang Jie clapped his palms with his fist: "Master, you have finally realized it!"
Wei Tian raised his head to the sky and laughed three times, full of complacency.
After a while, I came back to my senses, and my complexion suddenly changed: "Damn, doesn't that mean that I can't sleep late in the future?"
"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 plank and took it away.
Wei Tianchong curiously asked him what it was useful for, and Tang Jie replied that he would make a door plaque and add a name to his residence.
This Xiyue Academy is fighting for ownership, but likes to pay attention to appearance and elegance. Students like to be arty, and students often write plaques in front of their residences, such as "Wolongxuan", "Qingxintang", "Mingzhiju" and so on.
Tang Jie thought that if he wanted to live here for ten years, he would have to add a name to his residence.
Wei Tianchong was very interested in hearing it, and together with Shi Meng, he also found a door panel and took them back.
After Tang Jie went back, he named his residence "Tao Ranju". The artistic conception of dust and carelessness.
Shimeng seemed much simpler, thinking that since it is arty, it should be named Fengya Pavilion.
When we arrived at Wei Tianchong's place, we racked our brains to come up with a good name, and finally decided to use the old name.
With one stroke of the pen.
The three big characters "Meditation Garden" appeared crookedly on the door plaque.
—————————————
In a house in Xuezilin, the number here is No. 45 Yulin.
But in private, it is also called "Eagle's Nest".
In the Eagle's Nest, Gu Changqing was sitting in front of the desk holding a stack of documents and reading non-stop.
These are all the materials of the students enrolled in this semester, and it took a lot of painstaking effort and cost for Tianshen Palace to get them.
While watching, Gu Changqing wrote comments from time to time, or asked to pay attention to someone, or asked to focus on someone.
In the research room, a man in golden clothes hastily rushed into the door: "Good news..."
"Get out!" Gu Changqing shouted without raising his head.
The man in gold was stunned for a moment, Gu Changqing shouted again: "Go out, learn to knock on the door before coming in!"
The man's face twitched, he held back his breath, turned and left the room, closed the door and knocked on the door: "Subordinate Zhao Xinguo has something to report to Deputy Eagle Lord!"
"come in."
Only then did Zhao Xinguo open the door and said, "Just now when the freshmen entered school, a student named Tang Jie stood up and called out."
"Then what?"
"Then?" Zhao Xinguo was stunned: "Then...then he shouted that I, Tang Jie, must be among the top ten disciples..."
Gu Changqing finally raised his head, looked at Zhao Xinguo, and his eyes were overwhelmed: "This is your good news?"
Zhao Xinguo took a deep breath: "All the freshmen entered the school with trepidation and did not dare to speak out loudly, but this boy behaved strangely and named himself Tang Jie. I think it is very suspicious."
Gu Changqing took a deep look at him, pointed to the chair next to him: "Sit down."
Zhao Xinguo sat down, but Gu Changqing ignored him and dealt with the matter at hand by himself.
Zhao Xinguo waited impatiently, and called out to Mr. Gu, but was forced back by Gu Changqing's sharp eyes, so he could only continue to sit there.
After a while, there was another knock on the door: "Yingtang Gaofei has something to report to Master Gu Ying."
"come in."
Another man entered, but he was not wearing a gold suit, but a coarse cloth gown. After entering the door, he bowed slightly to Gu Changqing, and said, "I found a new student named Tang Jie, who is the same as our target." Quite similar."
"Junior brother, you are late. I have already told the deputy eagle master first. Remember this kind of thing quickly!" Zhao Xinguo said lazily, his tone full of pride.
Gao Fei just smiled: "Brother Zhao's reaction is naturally extremely fast, and the younger brother is not as good."
"What did you find?" Gu Changqing ignored Zhao Xinguo and just asked.
"It has been verified that this person is called Tang Jie. The kidnapped Jie has the same pronunciation but different characters. He is from the Wei family of Canglong Mansion. He is a servant of Wei Tianchong, the young master of the Wei family. I can't match the original data, but from the appearance point of view, it is somewhat consistent with that Tang Jie, but as the adults said, there are too many people who fit the characteristics of Xiao Tang Jie, and it cannot be used as evidence, so I asked someone I went to inquire about the young master of the Wei family, and found out that this Tang Jie entered the Wei family three years ago, the specific origin has not been found out yet, further investigation is needed."
"Three years ago... Canglong Mansion... Wei Family..." Gu Changqing smiled: "That can be listed as a target and investigated carefully."
He said and glanced at Zhao Xinguo: "The news must not only be fast, but also as detailed as possible."
Zhao Xinguo blushed and was speechless.
Gao Fei said: "However, it is strange to say that if this Tang Jie is really the person we are looking for, then he should take the initiative to avoid us after seeing us coming, why would he jump out instead?"
Zhao Xinguo finally got the chance, and said disdainfully: "It's not necessary to ask, maybe he guessed that someone was secretly observing the reactions of the students, knowing that it would be unfavorable to retreat and arouse suspicion, so he deliberately played a trick of setting up doubts, so that We thought that if he took the initiative to stand up, it would be impossible for him to be Tang Jie. As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place."
"fart!"
Contrary to Zhao Xinguo's expectations, Gu Changqing slapped the table with his palm, punching a hole in the long mahogany case. Gu Changqing snarled at Zhao Xinguo: "What kind of bullshit is that? Then according to what you said, Jin Yan Gangfeng The most dangerous, he has the ability to fly up there! Is the danger that you can hide in called dangerous?"
Zhao Xinguo was ashamed by Gu Changqing's scolding, and he defended: "...the most dangerous place I mentioned refers to... the loopholes in thinking."
"Having a loophole in thinking is called poor thinking, and only incompetent people will pin their hopes on the opponent's mistakes!" Gu Changqing still said bluntly: "He, Tang Jie, knew that he would be suspected if he flinched, so he stood up and called out on purpose. voice? And then we don't suspect him? What the hell kind of logic is that? Don't we suspect him now? If he's that kind of guy, he's the biggest idiot in the world. Do you think such an idiot can Have you escaped our rigorous investigation for three years? Useless things, get out of here!"
Zhao Xinguo was ashamed and annoyed, so he could only resign first.
Gao Fei watched Zhao Xinguo leave, and frowned: "Eagle Master, Brother Zhao is also the son of Zhenren Zhao after all, isn't it too much for you to scold him like that?"
"If he wasn't the son of Zhenren Zhao, would I tolerate this trash?" Gu Changqing snorted coldly: "I've had enough of him long ago, but he's the son of a real person, I, Gu Changqing, wouldn't be afraid!"
Gao Fei laughed secretly when he heard this, but he didn't dare to answer.
Only then did Gu Changqing say to Gao Fei: "This Tang Jie, number 96, is temporarily listed in the second class. Let's check the details first. Everything will be handled according to the regulations."
