Chapter 35: Xuanling Branch
The admissions offices of other branches all have several students from Hongmeng Academy to help, but the reception desk of the Xuanling Branch where they are located seems to be a student within the academy.
Chen Yuelai saw Ding Dong shuttling through the crowd alone, almost interrogating them one by one.
What does this mean......
"Senior Sister Dingdang looks so busy, it seems that among the people who came to take the entrance test of Hongmeng Academy this year, there are many talented and good-looking talents. Ji Bingling said with a smile.
Chen Yuelai also felt that something seemed wrong, but Ding Dong's guarantee that they would be able to become students of Hongmeng Academy was enough to impress him.
After all, for such a large college, the threshold must be very high, and the entrance test is not simple.
"Well, that's probably the case.....," Chen Yuelai said with a little hesitation, he saw that Ding Dong seemed to be arguing with a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man, and the quarrel was very serious.
The young man was dressed in splendid clothes, and his family background was not thin.
"Shall we go over and do a favor?", Ji Bingling also noticed that Ding Dong was arguing with someone.
"I don't think so, senior sister seems to have the upper hand. Chen Yuelai said lightly.
The young man who quarreled with Ding Dong was red-faced and red-eared, and was obviously said to be a little hurtful.
Soon, the young man walked away, ignoring Jingle Bell. Clank Bell also took a big step and walked back.
This momentum is really majestic!
Ding Dong returned to the table where Chen Yuelai and Ji Bingling were, picked up the cup on the table, poured a glass of water, and poured it down.
Rub the corners of his mouth with his dirty little hand, and look angry.
"Senior sister, what's wrong with making such a big fuss?", Chen Yuelai asked.
"Hey, it's nothing, I'm used to having a few words with these talented and good-looking people every year. Ding Dong said vaguely, as for the specific reason for the quarrel, he didn't tell Chen Yuelai and Ji Bingling.
Immediately, Ding Dong walked around Chen Yuelai and Ji Bingling twice, the joy in his eyes lingered, and said, "Forget it, it's good to have the two of you, let's go back directly." ”
"Just go back, won't Senior Sister continue to receive new students?", Ji Bingling asked with some confusion.
It's not noon yet, it's the time when talented young people from all over the world are coming, and at this time, it's not that the Xuanling Academy can't recruit a few people.
"Hey, look at them, all of them are not talented, and they are arrogant, none of them are like the two of you, forget it, my sister likes the two of you. After a few clicks, he cleaned up the things on the table, and the names of Chen Yuelai and Ji Bingling were on a pile of white paper.
Ding Dong put one hand on Chen Yuelai's shoulder, and one hand on Ji Bingling's shoulder, and walked towards the gate of Hongmeng Academy.
There are two guards guarding the gate of Hongmeng Academy, and just by virtue of the momentum on their bodies, they are all mid-level existences in the Illusion God Realm.
The aura on these two guards is extremely strong, and their combat strength must not be very bad.
Chen Yuelai had to be shocked that such a strong master only had the role of a gatekeeper in Hongmeng Academy.
The strength of this academy is much higher than Chen Yuelai imagined.
"Tinker Bell, yes, it really fooled you into two freshmen. A guard guarding the door, who seemed to be familiar with Clank, said with a smile.
looked at Chen Yuelai and Ji Bingling with very strange eyes, although it was not a mocking look, but it still made Chen Yuelai feel a little uncomfortable.
"Dog, what are you talking nonsense? What is fooling? I am optimistic about the talent and appearance of the two of them, you look at my two little junior brothers and little junior sisters, they are both handsome men and beautiful women like me. Dingdong said with his hands on his waist and his belly straight.
Very confident.
The golden bell she wore around her waist made a jingling sound.
"Come on, Tinker Bell, don't we know about you yet. It is said that you can't fool a student to go to Xuanling Academy in a hundred years, and you can't imagine that you will break the record today, and the blind cat will meet a dead mouse, right?", the guard who was called a dog by Jingle Bell said with a laugh.
"I didn't bother to pay attention to you. Let's go, little junior sister, I'll take you to see the master. Ding Dong pulled Chen Yuelai and Ji Bingling into the gate of Xuanling Academy in two steps.
Xuanling Academy is divided into six branches, each branch has its own place, Ding Dong took Chen Yuelai and Ji Bingling directly to the innermost part of Hongmeng Academy.
Entering the gate of Hongmeng Academy, Chen Yuelai found that there were actually six mountains inside the college, and this represented six branches.
The six mountains form a ring, and at the bottom of the mountain is a building, which is the main courtyard of Hongmeng College.
And the Xuanling Branch that Ding Dong said seems to be on the innermost mountain.
Soon, the three of them had reached the foot of the mountain.
There is only one way up the mountain, two wooden stakes and a rotten wooden plank, which form the gate of Xuanling Academy, and it seems that a little stronger wind can blow this door plaque down.
Compared with the gates of other branches, it is simply a Tianshan Mountain and an underground.
"These are all small details! Little junior brother, little junior sister, don't care too much, our Xuanling branch pays attention to the connotation, not the appearance, the branch with connotation is never publicized. Ding Dong said seriously, and continued to go up the mountain with Chen Yuelai and Ji Bingling.
The way up the mountain is a paved with stones of different sizes, the mountain is not very high and belongs to a hill. It was the lowest of the six mountains, and the mountain road was not very difficult to walk, so Chen Yuelai and the others quickly reached the top of the mountain.
On the top of the mountain, in addition to a few thatched houses, there are two vegetable fields.....
"Senior Sister Dingdang, is this the Xuanling Branch?", Chen Yuelai was so surprised that his jaw was about to drop, how could Hongmeng Academy have such a prestigious academy, how could there be such a branch, this is outrageous.
There is no one else on this mountain except them.
There are also cucumbers and greens grown in this vegetable field.
How do you look at it, how does it look like an ordinary person's house, and it's a family with little money.
"Little junior brother is right, this is our Xuanling Branch, I said, don't care too much about the details, we have to look at the connotation, you look at the vegetable field, we are self-reliant! Look at these chic thatched houses, warm in winter and cool in summer!", Ding Dong patted Chen Yuelai on the shoulder.
"Sister Dingdong, I like it here. Ji Bingling said happily. I walked to the edge of the vegetable patch and looked at the vigorous vegetable seedlings.
"Well, little junior sister, you have vision! I'll take you to see the master. Ding Dong gave a thumbs up, and then led Chen Yuelai and Ji Bingling to a thatched house and knocked on the door.
The Xuanling Branch did look a little too shabby, but Chen Yuelai thought about Ding Dong's promise, and thought to himself that it was better to be content, at least even if they couldn't pass the test, they would be able to enter the Hongmeng Academy.
It's equivalent to going through the back door, and it's not too demanding.
"Is Tinker Bell back? Why, are there still no students willing to come to our Xuanling Branch this year?", a deep voice sounded in the thatched house, full of energy.
"Master, this year I recruited a cute little junior sister and a handsome little junior brother. Dingdong said happily into the thatched house.
Creak!
As soon as the words fell, the door of the thatched hut opened, and a gust of wind blew in their faces, almost causing Chen Yuelai and Ji Bingling to fall, and the sudden wind made them unable to open their eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, Chen Yuelai found a skinny old man, looking up and down against him.
The old man's clothes had a few more patches than those worn by Ding Dong, and they were colorful and looked like beggars.
"This is.... Master?", Chen Yuelai said tremblingly, this is too surprising.
"That's right, good boy, I'm the master. The old man said frankly, although he looked very thin, his eyes were embarrassed, and the breath on his body was quite strong.
This old man is the dean of the Xuanling Branch, Xuan Xiaozi.
Among the six deans of Hongmeng Academy, the only dean has not yet broken through the Great Dao Realm, but his combat power cannot be underestimated!
And he is a veteran figure of Hongmeng Academy, so even if his realm is the lowest among the deans, he has not been replaced.
"Not bad, not bad..... Tinker Bell did a good job, kill the fat chicken in the backyard tonight, wash the dust for the two little guys, and remember to add a little more accessories. Xuan Xiaozi regained his composure and said to Ding Dong.
"Okay, master. Jingle Bell said.
Chen Yuelai really believed the facts this time, Xuanling Academy was indeed very poor.
There were only five thatched huts in the Xuanling Academy, but there were enough for the four of them. It seems that the reason why Ding Dong gave up recruiting people may be because he can't live....
Behind these thatched huts, there is an empty yard with a few mulberry trees, and at this time the leaves of the mulberry trees are basically almost gone, bare.
On the tree, a fat chicken has a dozen pounds, bent the branches, and it folded one foot and hid it among the feathers, although it only supported its body with one foot, it still stood firmly on the branch.
The fat chicken squinted and seemed to be asleep.
Chen Yuelai and Ji Bingling watched from the side, and Ding Dong quietly walked behind the fat chicken, jumped easily, and hugged the fat chicken directly.
"Clucking .....", the fat chicken struggled, and the chicken feathers flew all over the sky.
"Bah, .....", Ding Dong spit out the chicken feathers that he was shouting in his mouth, and then slaughtered the fat chicken neatly.
Put a pot of chicken blood, and the chicken is wrapped in green cabbage leaves in the vegetable field and wrapped in a thick layer of yellow mud.
Then roast over high heat!
"This is our last chicken, and it's gone. The master is willing to kill chickens, which means that he attaches great importance to the two of you, and he must perform well in the future. Jingle Bell said with a smile.
While lighting the fire, he looked at Chen Yuelai and Ji Bingling.
Chen Yuelai felt that Ding Dong and Xuan Xiaozi's master and apprentice were really pitiful, and they were so poor that there was only a chicken and some vegetables in the vegetable field left.
"Senior Sister Dingdang, doesn't the academy have a lot of bounty tasks, why don't you go to the task to make some money?", Chen Yuelai asked suspiciously.
Hongmeng Academy has a special task pavilion, and as long as you complete the task, you can get rewards, which may be gold coins or magic treasures.
If you do a task, you won't be poor like this.
"Little junior brother, I don't know, now the academy no longer allows me to take on tasks, because I always mess up the tasks, once I took the task to help a caravan dart, but I didn't meet the robbers, and finally the caravan horse was startled by me, and directly dragged the goods transported by others to the cliff. Another time, I took on a mission to kill a bad guy and accidentally crippled my employer, and another time I .....," Jingle Bell said with a sigh.
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chen Yuelai,
"Okay, Senior Sister Jingdong, I know. Chen Yuelai covered his forehead and had a headache.
If he was in charge of Hongmeng Academy, he wouldn't allow her to continue to take on the task. He asked again: "Since Senior Sister Dingdang can't receive the task, then the master should be able to take it, right?"
