Chapter 5 Enter the Outer Gate
The door represents the dividing line, although the inner door and the outer door are one word difference, the treatment is very different. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The Red Spirit Academy is no longer comparable to a county or town, its status is transcendent, although it is in the territory of the Red Cloud Country, it is not subject to its constraints, and the system in the academy is strict, even the Lord of the Red Cloud Country may not be able to go through the back door here.
After Zhou Fan returned to Chiling Academy again, when he was separated from Zhou Chuan and Zhou Hu, he was taken to the rows of seemingly simple huts, where a group of young men and women were lining up.
"My name is Xu Qing, you can also call me Senior Brother Xu," the blue-robed man who brought Zhou Fan back before changed his previous indifferent expression, and said with a little concern: "This is the residence of the outer students, you go there to line up in a while, and someone will arrange your food, clothing, housing and transportation at that time. ”
Xu Qing patted Zhou Fan on the shoulder, which was regarded as encouragement, and then left.
Zhou Fan returned to the Red Spirit Academy again, although it was his wish, he still felt a little incredible, and the strange Taoist who suddenly appeared before made him a little confused.
Just when Zhou Fan came to line up in the crowd in a daze, a girl in front of him turned to look at him, "Hello, my name is Yun Yun, are you also a disciple of the outer sect?" ”
Only then did Zhou Fan notice that the person in front of him looked younger than himself, fourteen or fifteen years old, with double ponytails, big eyes and two small dimples, which looked very cute.
"You... Hello! Zhou Fan grew up reading sage books, and he rarely had contact with girls outside, so he couldn't help but be a little flustered for a while, "My name is Zhou Fan, I am indeed a disciple of the outer sect, are you too?" ”
"That's right!" The girl named Yunyun blinked her eyes and looked Zhou Fan up and down, and said curiously, "However, you are quite special!" ”
"Special? How so? Zhou Fan was puzzled.
"Look at me, and then look at the people in line in front, what's the difference!"
Zhou Fan looked around after being reminded by Yun Yunyi, and only then did he notice that except for himself, everyone else was dressed in brocade clothes and wore exquisite jewelry, and there was no need to guess that these people were either rich or expensive.
"To be honest, I'm curious, how did you get to the outer gate!" Yun Yun didn't scruple when she spoke, and said, "Could it be that you are the illegitimate son of a certain big man, so you are wearing coarse clothes to cover it?" But things must be opposed, and you are even more suspicious like this. ”
Yun Yun pretended to be smart, and Zhou Fan could only smile bitterly, but he also understood that the so-called outer door was just a convenience for those who were rich and powerful, where were the students of the Red Spirit Academy, coming here was nothing more than trying their luck, bumping into a chance or something, thinking that he was now with these people, Zhou Fan's heart was a little uncomfortable.
"What about you? Who are you? Zhou Fan asked rhetorically.
"This... This..."Yun Yun suddenly looked a little embarrassed, but fortunately, a girl on the side suddenly said to her, "Yun Yun, look, the person who manages our outer gate this time is actually Uncle Tao Ran!" ”
Zhou Fan looked in the direction of the other party's gesture, it was actually the white-robed man who had tested them before, and behind him, Zhou Hu was wearing a black robe and carrying a lot of black clothes and walked over.
"Stand up for me one by one, whoever wants to make trouble for me, I don't care about your identity, I will sweep the floor and go home!" The white-robed man was obviously a little reluctant to receive an errand to manage the new outer disciples.
Seeing that he glanced at Zhou Hu behind him, Zhou Hu stepped forward and distributed clothes to the outer disciples one by one.
The Red Spirit Academy has a strict hierarchy, the lowest level is the outer disciples, and the inner disciples are all black, the only difference is that there is a flame icon missing on the chest, only if you become a spirit master, you can wear green clothes, and the white robe represents the true future and core of the Red Spirit Academy, that is, the thirty-six Tiangang.
"Brother Fan, it seems that we will be together often in the future!" Zhou Hu smiled after handing the black robe to Zhou Fan.
"Huzi, what the hell is going on?" Zhou Fan was a little puzzled.
Zhou Hu shrugged his shoulders and said with an indifferent look: "I heard that it seems that the master has committed some kind of dereliction of duty, and was informed of the dean by Venerable Kan, and then he was punished for managing the outer gate. ”
"Venerable? Is the status higher than your master? In Zhou Fan's opinion, Tao Ran can determine the admission qualifications of these new students, and the status should be very high.
Zhou Hu didn't care, "Whatever, anyway, no matter how high the status of these people is, they can't fight with us." ”
At this moment, the white-robed Tao Ran's somewhat impatient voice sounded, "Huzi, take them to the academy after handing out the clothes and room cards." ”
"Yes! Master! Zhou Hu hurriedly handed over the only remaining black robe and a rectangular wooden card in his hand to Zhou Fan, and then ran back to the front; At this time, Tao Ran had already disappeared in place.
There are twenty-four new outer disciples, and the wooden plaque in Zhou Fan's hand happens to be engraved with the number "Twenty-four!" ”
Zhou Fan curiously wanted to touch the numbers on the wooden card, but with this touch, he felt that there was a flow of air on his body.
"Presumably everyone has a little sense with the wooden card," Zhou Hu said loudly with full of anger: "This is the Red Spirit Card, it can be said that it is related to your life, it is a symbol of your identity, whether it is to listen to lectures or enter and exit this Red Spirit Academy in the future, it is all used, now you have a stick of incense time, you go to your residence according to your number plate, change into the clothes of our college, gather here later, I will take you to the school to listen to the class." ”
Although Zhou Hu is angry and not good at thinking, he also has his own advantages, that is, he has strong execution, and there is no deviation in what Tao Ran instructed before.
Zhou Fan looked at Zhou Hu, smiled helplessly, and said secretly: "In the past, in the clan, Huzi was the least willing to learn, but now he can actually give orders, it seems that he is really slow step by step, if I want to find face for myself and my parents, I have to work harder!" ”
Although the students living in the outer door seem to be simple, fortunately, the inside is clean and tidy, with two bedrooms, a bed, and a desk; This is exactly what Zhou Fan wants.
"Zhou Fan, Zhou Fan, what does your mortal word mean?" Just when Zhou Fan had just changed his clothes and was about to go out early to ask Zhou Hu more about the Red Spirit Academy, suddenly a man in gossip plain clothes sat in front of his desk, knocking on Erlang's leg, looking a little cynical.
"Is that you?" Zhou Fan knew this person, it was Venerable Kan who appeared after the falling star fell before, but he didn't know the identity of the other party.
"You? No one has called me that way in years, interesting! Regarding Zhou Fan's gaffe, Venerable Kan felt that it was more like a happy thing.
Zhou Fan suddenly reacted, and hurriedly said, "It's the kid who is abrupt, I hope Mr. won't blame him!" ”
The fluttering body style, the appearance of the grandiose here, Zhou Fan dared to conclude that the other party was a person from the Red Spirit Academy, and his status must not be low.
"You haven't answered me, what do you mean by Fan?" Venerable Kan continued with the previous question.
"Extraordinary!"
With Zhou Fan's current status, at the end of the outer gate, he will become a miscellaneous servant in the future, and there is no way to retreat, so he simply said without scruples: "This is not only the expectation of my parents, but also my wish, everything is just a boundary, if it can't be extraordinary, then it can only be ordinary." ”
"Interesting, what you say is as interesting as your body!" Venerable Kan stood up, came to Zhou Fan's side, and asked with a smile, "What would you do if I said that your cultivation qualifications are unique in ten thousand, and that you are the only spiritual cultivation genius in the world?" ”
"What?" Zhou Fan's heart was suddenly shocked, and he said with some disbelief: "Why did the old gentleman say this?" ”
"In the eyes of ordinary spiritual cultivators, spiritual power is only four categories, refining system, metamorphic system, radiation system and soul system, and the so-called spiritual cultivation physique is that one of the spiritual power of one of them is extremely compatible with yourself, and you don't belong to this situation, so Tao Ran naturally can't find out your spiritual cultivation qualifications."
"Since I don't belong to these four categories of spiritual cultivation qualifications, how can you judge them?" Zhou Fan was still puzzled.
"Remember the falling star that suddenly landed on you on the mountain?" Venerable Kan reminded.
Zhou Fan nodded, he still remembered what happened before.
"That's just to determine your qualifications, your body is really special, so you can only use a special method, that is, to use spiritual power to oppress, when you were conducting the perseverance test before, those inner disciples only relied on time to judge, but they didn't find any changes in your body!"
"Anomalies?"
"Yes," Venerable Kan explained, "although you were unconscious at that time, you instinctively stimulated your spiritual power, and I happened to be passing by at the time, so I saw it; After that, I have been secretly observing, and finally when no one is around, I use my spiritual power to absolutely oppress you, so as to activate the acupuncture points in your body, so that the spiritual power can better swim in the meridians. ”
"Can I take another test now?" Zhou Fan said excitedly.
However, Venerable Kan glanced blankly and said, "Test what? Although your acupuncture points have been activated, but the meridians have not been connected, what is the difference from before? ”
"But..."
Zhou Fan wanted to continue, but Venerable Kan interrupted, "Your spiritual power is quite special, as far as the entire Red Spirit Academy is concerned, no one can guide you except me, even if the test can prove your qualifications now, the best result is to hand you over to one of the thirty-six Tiangang, with their ability, they will only teach you to be abolished, besides, the young man named Zhou Chuan who came from the same clan as you should not be at fault with you, he is the closed disciple of Chu Xiaozi, the first person in the thirty-six Tiangang, if you really become an inner disciple, can you surpass him?" ”
Zhou Fan really wants to become an inner door student, but he wants to surpass Zhou Chuan even more, only in that way can he help his parents get back face and make his spiritual cultivation path more meaningful.
Zhou Fan asked, "Then how do you prove that I can definitely surpass Zhou Chuan?" ”
Venerable Kan immediately sneered, "I don't need to prove it, this is your chance, and it has nothing to do with me!" ”
After that, with a wave of his sleeves, a green jade ring suddenly appeared in front of the desk.
"Give you a day to think, if you plan to become my disciple, then take it with you, and then I will show up, if you don't want to, then just throw the ring away."
Venerable Kan disappeared in an instant after speaking.
"Old man..."Zhou Fan wanted to ask again, but there was no chance, so he could only temporarily put the ring in his arms.
