Chapter 51: Customs, Precepts, and Reality

Only by standing on a very high place can you have a panoramic view of the city. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The city was surrounded by mountains on three sides, and due south was a vast plain, but there was a great river that flowed in front of the south gate.

And the mountain where Yi Chen and the others were at this time was due north of the city.

At the foot of the mountain, there was another building, but it was outside the northern walls of the city.

The building closest to the mountain should be the Jersey Tenmuin Temple.

And this mountain is also the tallest and most majestic mountain in the vicinity.

I don't know how many stone steps I have walked through, Yi Chen only knows that it took about half an hour before a group of six people came to the foot of the mountain.

Along the way, they found that the further down they went, the more houses and courtyards on both sides of the stone steps became, but the number of pedestrians in the stone steps did not gradually increase.

Most of them are young people, and most of them go down the mountain.

The buildings at the foot of the mountain are not tall, and they are scattered and not compact.

In addition to the house buildings, the scene in the eyes of Yi Chen and the others was mostly undulating hills and snow.

Of course, there are flowers and trees, but they are covered with a thick layer of snow.

Originally, the scenery here should be good, but after winter, there was also a heavy snowfall here, such as today, although the color is clear, but the snow has not melted, making the scenery monotonous.

Only the forest path that everyone walked, and the avenue between the hills, were cleared of snow, but the bluestone slabs under their feet were not worth seeing.

"You've arrived at the campus of the Jersey Tianwu Academy, now I'll take you to the dining hall for lunch." Peng Yi walked as he walked.

Yi Chen and the other four freshmen did not make a sound, but looked around curiously...... This is where they will live and cultivate in the future!

It's just that the four of them find it strange that since the mountain has been down, the pedestrians on the road have become very scarce.

It is said that the total number of teachers and students of Jersey Tianwu Academy is no less than 3,000, and the campus should be very lively.

"It's winter vacation now, and most of the old students are either going home to visit their relatives or going out to practice, so now the campus is very quiet, you can live a good life for a while, no one is competing for seats in the cafeteria with you, no one is grabbing territory with you in the martial arts training ground, and even the Xuanling Realm and the Martial Spirit Tomb will be open for your new students."

Yu Yan also said as he walked: "Once the spring begins, those old students return to campus, your good days will come to an end, they will not only give you a bad hand according to the usual practice and bully you mercilessly, but also occupy the cultivation resources in the academy, and even let you serve them and give them as a junior brother." ”

"Seniors, old students bully new students, doesn't the academy care?" Zheng Zhong asked with a puzzled expression.

"Hehe, why bother?" Yu Yan asked with a smile.

"Uh......" Zheng Zhong blinked, as if speechless.

"It is the practice of the Tianwu Academy for old students to bully new students, although this is not good, but after all, it can temper the will and resilience of new students, and it can also make those new students who think they are geniuses know how to keep a low profile, and know that there are people outside the people and mountains outside the mountains."

Peng Yi also interjected, she said: "If you don't want to be bullied, and you don't want to be a junior brother to others, then you can only work hard to cultivate and make yourself strong. ”

Hearing the two tutors say this, Yi Chen was speechless, and felt that the characteristics of the Tianwu Academy were really unique.

"Freshmen can become old students sooner or later, and every year there will be old students graduate, and there will be new students, and when we become old students, we can also bully new students, and let new students be our little brothers."

Kita Chigaki also spoke up, but what he said made the two mentors can't help but glance at him meaningfully.

Soon, a group of six people came to a two-story building.

This two-storey building is made of white jade boulders, each floor is two zhang high, more than 30 zhang long, and not less than 10 zhang wide, although it is not very high, the whole building is also huge.

There is a stone plaque above the gate of the stone building, on which are written the three big characters of "East Dining Hall".

It seems that this stone building is only one of the dining halls of the Jersey Tenmu Academy, and there must be other dining halls on the campus.

Think about it, a huge college, more than 10,000 people live in it all the year round, naturally need a lot of canteens.

It's just that it's winter vacation right now, and the canteen, which was originally very lively at lunchtime, is sparsely populated and deserted.

After walking more than a dozen stone steps, and crossing the two-zhang wide gate of the East Dining Hall, everyone entered the first floor of the East Dining Hall.

This floor is the scene of a large hall, with rows of stone pillars supporting the ceiling of the dome, rows of stone benches and chairs, and many windows under the stone wall facing the door...... The layout structure of the hall on the first floor of the entire East Canteen Hall is similar to the cafeteria in Yi Chen's school in his previous life, but it looks much simpler here, and everything here seems more quaint and more eroded by the vicissitudes of time.

On the stone wall facing the gate of the dining hall, there are rows of small characters engraved on it, Yu Yan pointed to those small characters and said: "That's our courtyard rules and precepts, you take a look at it first, try to keep it all in mind, let's go and order food first." ”

After an explanation, Yu Yan and Peng Yi walked to a window in the depths of the dining hall together.

Yi Chen's four eyes stared at the small words on the stone wall-

Tenmu-in House Rules and Precepts:

1. Respect teachers and education, and do not disobey.

2. Abide by the laws of your own country, and you must not commit a crime outside in the name of the teachers and students of the Tianwu Academy.

3. Protect every grass and tree in the academy and not destroy it.

Fourth, cultivate diligently, do not be lazy and slack, and do not want to make progress.

Fifth, grooming and decent, words and deeds are appropriate, and it is not allowed to open up the river and cause trouble for no reason.

6. Cherish life and do not kill teachers and students in the same school.

……

There are only twenty rules and precepts in the Tianwu Academy, and when I read it from beginning to end, I didn't see the rule of "no bullying of the weak", so it's no wonder that it has become a common practice for old students to bully new students.

When Yi Chen and the four of them were reading the rules and precepts of the academy, the two tutors Yu Yan and Peng Yi had already prepared the meal, and then invited the four of Yi Chen to sit down.

"Hurry up and eat, we'll have to sign up for registration in a while." When Yu Yan greeted him, he had already moved his chopsticks.

"You don't need to be polite, the reason why the two of us will take care of you is only because part of the Jingshi tuition you pay is our hard work, and after you settle down, I'm afraid we won't have any intersection in the future." Peng Yi said very bluntly.

When Yi Chen heard this, he said no wonder in his heart, and then picked up his chopsticks one after another.

Not to mention, the food in Tianwuin is still very good, not only the food is good, but the taste is even more delicious.

"I guess you all brought living expenses, right?"

While eating, Yu Yan asked again.

"Living expenses?"

Yi Chen and the others were stunned for a moment, and then nodded yes one after another.

"It's good to bring it, there are too many places where you need to use essence stones in the Tianwu Academy, not only when cultivating, but also if you want to eat something good, you also need to use essence stones." Peng Yi also explained.

"Essence stone?"

Everyone was stunned again.

"Why, do you think you can spend gold and silver here?"

Yu Yan put a piece of tender meat into his mouth, and while chewing, he said: "Of course, gold and silver are also useful, but they are not very useful, at most they can buy some coarse grains in the canteen to satisfy their stomachs." ”

"Huh?"

Yi Chen and the others were surprised at the same time.

Yu Yan and Peng Yi both shook their heads with a wry smile, secretly saying that the children from these small places really have too little knowledge.

"If you don't bring enough essence stones, then you have to find a way, in our Heavenly Martial Academy, if you don't have essence stones, it will not only affect your cultivation progress, but even affect your life."

Peng Yi kindly reminded: "You must know that once your cultivation speed is too slow and you can't meet the unified assessment standards set by the academy, you will be expelled." ”

"Huh?!"

Yi Chen and the four of them were taken aback again.

At this moment, even if there was a table of delicious food, Yi Chen and the four of them couldn't eat well.

Before they came, they thought that entering the Tianwu Academy would be like entering a cave heaven blessed land and a paradise, but they never expected that this place would be so realistic, and the reality here was very harsh.

After the four of them came here, they were not faced with a dragon entering the sea, not like a fish in water, or a famous teacher......

It's how to survive here!

Unexpected, or a blow to the head!

They couldn't hide their excitement and excitement just now, but they were all at a loss at this time. (http://)。

Even Kitaikegaki, who is as proud as the prince of the kingdom, is frowning.

Yi Chen was fine, but after a short period of surprise, his expression returned to normal.

"It's so unfair!"

Zheng Zhong couldn't help but complain: "If that's the case, wouldn't those students of the big families have nothing to worry about, they don't lack essence stones." ”

"Hehe, then you can become a student of the Tianwu Academy, is it fair to those civilian children?"

Yu Yan smiled and said, "Can you have your current cultivation, is it just by virtue of your own hard work and qualifications?" Didn't your family pay a great price for your progress? Compared to you, those ordinary children who can't even start their cultivation are going to be fair? ”

"In this world, there is only relative fairness, there is no absolute fairness, and it is the same in the Tianwu Academy." Peng Yi added indifferently.

"Senior, then how can we get the essence stone?" Yi Yunshang asked calmly.

"There are several ways to do it."

Yu Yan said while eating: "The first is to let your family provide for you, the second is to be the junior brother of those old and strong students, the third is to do miscellaneous work in the academy, the fourth is to try to please your mentor and get rewards, the fifth is to strive to become the top fifty powerhouses in the same level and get the rewards given by the academy, and the sixth is to go outside to find some opportunities during the holidays...... That's probably all there is. ”

"The best way is to become the top powerhouse of the same level, according to the ranking, you will get corresponding rich rewards, even if it is only the fiftieth, you can get a hundred low-grade essence stones from the academy every month, and if it is the top ten, tsk, the reward of the essence stones, but even our mentors will envy." Peng Yi couldn't help but interject with her eyebrows.
