CHAPTER XXIV

"This is Chongyang Academy?"

Deng Si'er stood under the unusually simple gate of Chongyang Academy, and the feeling in his heart was very subtle.

Why is it subtle?

According to common sense, Chongyang Academy can be described as a sacred place in the hearts of scholars all over the world, but all scholars yearn for it and flock to it.

How can such a world-famous reading mecca have such a quaint gate?

It's really different.

Zuo Idiot and Chu Jing glanced at each other, and they both laughed softly.

Deng Si'er looked disappointed, how could the two of them not see it?

Zuo Idiot smiled and said:

"Don't look at this gate, look at the words engraved on it."

Deng Si'er glanced at Zuo Idiot, then looked up at Zuo Idiot's words, and still recognized the words:

"The Chongyang of the Country."

Hey? After Deng Si'er read it again, he immediately looked back at Zuo Idiot.

Zuo Idiot took a step closer and continued:

"This is when the Emperor Taishang was still the king of the county, grateful for the study time in this place, personally inscribed, and later the Emperor Taishang ascended the throne, Chongyang Academy will engrave this inscription on the main entrance of the academy, until now, it has been one hundred and fourteen years."

One hundred and fourteen years? It's really old

Deng Si'er didn't know that there were so many allusions to a gate, and after listening to Zuo's words, he pouted and muttered:

"Do you know that if you touch the light of the emperor of the people, you are not doing shady business inside?"

When Zuo Idiot and Chu Jing heard this, they were both stunned, and immediately looked around at the academy students who kept walking by, but fortunately no one heard Deng Si'er's words.

Otherwise, in such an important place of the academy, Deng Si'er's casual slander will definitely attract some trouble, which may be detrimental to their investigation.

Deng Si'er looked nervous when he saw Zuo Idiot and Chu Jing hearing his words, and he didn't have a good impression of Chongyang Academy anymore.

"I've done everything, and you still don't want people to say it?"

Seeing that Deng Si'er couldn't control his own mouth at all, Zuo Idiot couldn't help but shake his head, and didn't care about Deng Si'er, so he walked to the gate by himself.

Chu Jing also patted Deng Si'er's shoulder helplessly, and followed Zuo Idiot.

Suddenly, there was no one around, Deng Si'er looked left and right, and had to shout at the backs of the two of them:

"Hey! Wouldn't it be okay if I didn't say it? Wait for me! I don't know the way! ”

Deng Si'er followed behind Zuo Idiot and Chu Jing while walking around, the people in this academy were all dressed similarly, and there was almost no difference at a glance.

Suddenly, Deng Si'er's footsteps paused, and then he pretended to be normal and secretly glanced at a student with a broken right hand, but when the student walked away, Deng Si'er turned around and was even more shocked!

Why is there another one over here?

Deng Si'er has come all the way, and he has seen four such people!

Suddenly, Deng Si'er felt that the neckline of his neck was blowing through the yin wind, swishing cold.

Deng Si'er hurriedly rushed to the middle of Chu Jing and Zuo Idiot, and asked in a low voice next to Zuo Idiot:

"Do you see that? Do you see that? ”

Zuo Idiot glanced at Deng Si'er suspiciously, and with Deng Si'er's appearance, he also lowered his voice and said:

"What? What do you see? ”

Deng Si'er frowned, gave Zuo Idiot a look, and continued to whisper:

"Oops! That's the man! And that too! That's the one over there! Look at that! ”

Seeing that Deng Si'er was about to jump to his feet, Zuo Idiot followed Deng Si'er's eyes, but after a glance, he took his eyes back and continued to walk forward without stopping.

Deng Si'er saw that Zuo Idiot's expression had hardly changed, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously:

"Did you see that?"

The left idiot nodded, indicating that he saw it.

Deng Si'er was strange at this time, and hurriedly asked:

"Why didn't you see anything? Aren't you weird at all?! ”

Deng Si'er forgot to control his voice in a hurry, and his voice was so loud that the college students around him looked sideways.

"I'll explain to you later."

Seeing that they had already walked to the door of the main hall of Chongyang Academy, there were still a few people who were familiar with Zuo Idiot waiting at the door of the hall, so he only said this to Deng Si'er.

Deng Si'er wanted to ask again, but was stopped by Chu Jing, and Deng Si'er saw Chu Jing shaking his head at him, so he had to close his mouth.

Well, it's important to get down to business, just wait a little bit!

"Brother Zuo, I haven't seen you for many years, but you've always been good?" A man in a plain robe stepped forward to greet Zuo Idiot when he saw it, and asked with a smile.

"Brother Xia." The left idiot also bowed in return.

"Hehe" A slightly old voice came for a while, and the left idiot looked up to the side.

"Old Yu, farewell to the capital, are you okay?"

Zuo Idiot was very respectful this time, and gave the old man surnamed Yu a junior gift.

Yu Lao smiled and said:

"Hurry up, how many years haven't you seen this? You kid is getting more and more capable, and your name has spread to the old man, and it is also well-known. ”

The left idiot immediately replied:

"The younger generation doesn't dare to be."

"You kid, why are you still like this? It hasn't changed at all. Alright, let's get inside. Yu Lao said with a smile.

Zuo Idiot nodded, turned around and glanced at Chu Jing and Deng Si'er.

Chu Jing understood, so he half-pulled Deng Si'er over and saluted:

"I've seen Yu Lao."

Yu Lao looked at Chu Jing's face, touched his beard and nodded, and said:

"Okay, good, people now, we really can't compare back then."

Chu Jing smiled politely, but the hand under his sleeve was pulling Deng Si'er.

Deng Si'er had no choice but to give up his hand and say:

"Junior Deng Si'er, I've seen it" What is this old man's name?

"Yu Lao."

The left idiot looked at the green tendons on the right side of his head and jumped straight up, this Deng Si'er!

"Oh, oh, junior Deng Si'er, I've seen Yu Lao." Deng Si'er looked at Zuo Idiot as if he was really going to be angry, and hurriedly said.

Unexpectedly, Yu Lao didn't care at all, and patted Deng Si'er on the shoulder, and said kindly:

"Good boy, good, good."

Deng Si'er accompanied the smiling face, but he was beating the drum in his heart for a while, what is this!

What a strange old man.

No, there is nothing normal in this academy!

The three of them entered the main hall with the old Yu in front of them and the man surnamed Xia, and when they were seated and served hot tea, the old Yu who was sitting in the first seat said:

"Zuo boy, I got a letter from your father the day before yesterday, saying that you will come to my Chongyang Academy in the near future, Xia Yuan is very happy."

Deng Si'er nodded, it turned out that this pleasing looking man was called Xia Yuan.

Chu Jing raised his eyebrows after hearing this, An Guohou already knew? That left idiot

Xia Yuan took over the conversation and said:

"yes, I heard the teacher say you're coming, but we haven't seen each other in years."

Zuo Idiot nodded, he hadn't seen him for many years.

Deng Si'er continued to nod, it turned out that Xia Yuan and the strange old man were masters and apprentices.

Chu Jing looked at Deng Si'er's appearance, and quietly flicked the back of Deng Si'er's hand in warning, neither light nor heavy.

Deng Si'er twisted Chu Jing's glance, obediently covered the back of his hands and sat down, listening to Zuo Idiot and the two talking.

"Zuo boy, your father's letter didn't say your intention, why did you come to this academy?" Yu Lao asked at birth.

Xia Yuan also looked at Zuo Idiot with a curious expression.

Chu Jing and Deng Si'er also looked at Zuo Idiot at this time.

Zuo Idiot said lightly:

"I'll look into the case."
