Chapter 429: The Academy in the Mist
Qiu Niang was stunned at first, then shook her head and said, "Don't believe it, you are not a Taoist priest." β
"Sister Qiu Niang, you will underestimate me." Qin Xiao smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter if I'm a Taoist priest or not, but Sister Hui's body is important, if she really keeps going like this, her life may really be lost." β
Qiu Niang said: "Then what can you do?" You tell me that if I think I can, I'll take you there. β
"If you say it, it won't work." Qin Xiao said in a low voice: "Anyway, I have the skill of catching ghosts, this time for your sake, I will take the initiative to ask Ying to catch ghosts, if you don't appreciate it, then forget it." Picked up the chopsticks, took a piece of meatballs, and said enthusiastically: "Come, Sister Qiu Niang, this table of dishes hasn't been moved yet, and if you don't eat it, it's really cold." Do you want me to feed you? "I want to feed Qiu Niang with vegetables.
Qiu Niang glared at Qin Xiao and said in a low voice: "I'm your sister, so big and small, be careful that I beat you." β
Qin Xiao laughed, and at this moment, there was a knock on the door, Qin Xiao got up and opened the door, Wu Tianbao stood outside the door, and asked with a smile: "Qin Gongzi, is the wine and food still to taste?" β
"Qingfeng Building lives up to its name." Qin Xiao didn't eat a bite, but still smiled: "It's just that the second master sent this table of dishes, I'm worried that I won't be able to pay the bill later." β
Wu Tianbao laughed and said, "Qin Gongzi said that he was joking. There is also a rule in this Qingfeng Building, but as long as I am a friend of someone Wu, I will invite this first meal, if I don't give this face, Wu will not be able to mix in Kyoto. β
Qin Xiao smiled: "Since this is the case, I will write down this favor." But there are too many dishes, we definitely can't finish them, second master, can you let someone pack them for us to take back? β
"Packing?" Wu Tianbao was stunned.
Those literati who came to Qingfeng Building were not rich or expensive, and those literati came to decorate the faΓ§ade, but they only ordered a few dishes, and they may not be enough to eat, so it was naturally impossible to pack them and take them away.
And those dignitaries naturally can't pack the wine and food back.
Qin Xiao proposed to pack it, but Wu Tianbao encountered it for the first time, and when he was stunned, he immediately smiled: "No problem." In this way, I asked people to pack these drinks and dishes, and then send them to Kushui Lane by car, Qin Gongzi, what do you think? β
"Then there is Second Master Lao." Qin Xiao lowered his voice: "Second Master, take a step to speak!" β
Wu Tianbao nodded slightly, and took Qin Xiao to a secluded place, and Qin Xiao said in a low voice: "Second master, I want to borrow someone from you, I don't know if it's okay?" β
Wu Tianbao was a little strange and said, "That's naturally no problem, it's just ..... What does Qin Gongzi want people to do? β
"It's not convenient to say for the time being, but the second master will naturally know when I turn around." Qin Xiao said: "But the person I borrowed from you must be bold and careful, smart and clever, and it is best to be very familiar with this area of Kyoto." β
Wu Tianbao said very simply: "Gongzi Qin, it's hard to say if you want to borrow something else, but if you want manpower and silver, I definitely don't lack it here." How many people do you want? β
"One is fine."
"One is enough?" Wu Tianbao said softly: "Do you want to use a few more people?" Thirty or fifty people can be summoned at any time, and there is absolutely no problem in gathering one or two hundred people in an hour. β
Qin Xiao smiled and said: "Second master, I'm not going to fight, I really want to fight, and I'll borrow someone from you." β
Wu Tianbao didn't talk nonsense, walked to the staircase, and shouted: "Baoshan!" β
As soon as the words fell, someone below agreed: "Second master, here." Hearing the sound of footsteps, "Dong Dong Dong" ran upstairs alone, twenty-five or sixteen years old, although his appearance was ordinary, but he looked energetic, when he saw Wu Tianbao, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Second master, what are your orders?" β
"Qin Gongzi, this is Tu Baoshan, a disciple of Wu, a person from Kyoto, he can't say that he knows everything about one hundred and eight squares in Kyoto, but he knows all the big and small things in the Kyoto market, and he has a wide range of contacts." Wu Tianbao introduced to Qin Xiao: "If you have any errands, tell him to do it, he can do it thoroughly, you can rest assured." β
Tu Baoshan bowed his hand to Qin Xiao and smiled, but his smile was very sunny.
"Baoshan, from today onwards, you will obey the orders of Gongzi Qin." Wu Tianbao said with a straight face: "Qin Gongzi has something to do for you, you have to do it when you go to the soup, even if it is for your life, don't talk nonsense." β
Qin Xiao hurriedly said: "Second master, don't say it so seriously, if you say this, I don't dare to let this big brother Baoshan help." Xiang Tu Baoshan arched his hand and said, "Brother Baoshan, there is something to trouble you this time, thank you here first." β
"Don't dare, don't dare." Tu Baoshan hurriedly said: "What does Gongzi Qin have to say, even if he shows it, he really doesn't dare to take the word big brother seriously." β
"You are older than me, and it is only natural to call you big brother." Qin Xiao said with a smile.
Qiu Niang didn't know what Qin Xiao went out to say to Wu Tianbao in the house, and waited for a while before she saw Qin Xiao come back, Qiu Niang hadn't spoken yet, Qin Xiao had already said: "I've already told them, we can't finish this table of wine and food, let them go back and pack it, and send someone to send it to Kushui Lane." This is not leftovers, Sister Qiu Niang, if Brother Gu dislikes it at that time, you have to help me talk about it. β
"If there were such leftovers, he would be desperate." Qiu Niang smiled, thinking about taking these drinks and dishes back, and she didn't have to cook for at least two days.
Coming out of Qingfeng Building, the two went directly to the Black Overlord.
Qin Xiao heard Qiu Niang mention the Zhimei Academy today, and he really wanted to go to the Zhiming Academy to see what the situation was.
The first time he knew the name of Zhimeiin was from the mouth of Momiji, who told him that he could only find Zhimeiin when life and death were at stake, and he always thought that Zhimeiin was a mysterious place, but this time he learned that Zhimeiin was an inconspicuous academy in Kyoto.
Whether the Zhimeiyuan is an academy or not naturally doesn't matter in Qin Xiao's opinion, but he suddenly thought that he saw a figure that looked like a red leaf that night, if the red leaves were in Kyoto, would it be in the Zhimeiyuan?
He didn't know that Gu Baiyi was from the Knowing Destiny Academy, but now that he knew, he couldn't help but think in his heart, if Hongye was a person from the Knowing Destiny Academy, then naturally he also knew Gu Baiyi, what would be the relationship between the two?
Momiji pretended to be an oil seller in Turtle City, and she protected herself in secret for several years, if she was a member of the Confidant's Temple, then she was lurking in Turtle City, of course, under the orders of the Confidant's Academy.
Why did the Confidant Temple send Momiji to the distant Xiling, and also to protect himself secretly.
He is just an ordinary teenager in Xiling, and Zhimeiyuan is an inconspicuous academy in Kyoto, logically speaking, the two sides have a relationship that can't be beaten, how can Zhimeiyuan be so attentive to himself?
Red Leaves' martial arts Qin Xiao has seen it.
The first time I saw Red Leaf make a move, it was the guard of Zhenhou Mansion, Ghost Hand Three, who assassinated himself, when he was in danger, Red Leaf suddenly appeared, and simply solved Ghost Hand Three, after the killing, Red Leaf even took out a strange medicine to melt the body of Ghost Hand Three.
Corpse powder, fish intestine thorns, and ancient qi tricks, these things are not ordinary things, and Hongye kills people calmly and simply, of course, it is impossible for them to be a good student who reads and writes, and Hongye's cultivation is bound to be in the Zhongtian Realm.
How could an ordinary academy have such a powerful Zhongtian Realm master as Red Leaves?
In fact, Qin Xiao already knew very well in his heart that Qiu Niang said that the Zhimei Academy was just an ordinary academy in Kyoto, and that was just because Qiu Niang didn't know anything about the Zhimei Academy, and the real Zhimei Academy could never be as simple as a academy.
Gu Baiyi grew up in the Zhiming Academy, and he was the righteous son of the master of the academy, if Gu Baiyi also knew nothing about the inside story of the academy like Qiu Niang, it would be an unbelievable thing.
Qin Xiao concluded that Gu Baiyi still knew some about the secrets of the academy, but he did not reveal his knowledge of the academy to Qiu Niang, and it was precisely because of this that Qiu Niang really thought that the Zhiming Academy was just an academy.
The whole of Kyoto was like a fog to Qin Xiao, not to mention an inconspicuous academy in the fog.
Since I can remember, the first person I know is the old man Zhong who takes care of him, the old man is taciturn and has a strange temperament, but he is very concerned about himself, and secretly tells himself to read and practice calligraphy and even practice Bajiquan, and he is the only relative in Qin Xiao's memory.
But Qin Xiao never knew what his relationship was with Old Man Zhong.
He knew that Old Man Zhong could not be his father, or even his own grandfather, so who were his parents and who was Old Man Zhong, these questions Old Man Zhong had never told him, and they were still the biggest doubts in Qin Xiao's heart.
He remembered that when he asked Momiji if he knew Old Man Zhong, although Momiji did not answer directly, he did not deny it.
If Momiji and Old Man Zhong know each other, then does Old Man Zhong also have something to do with the academy?
In this way, can you find clues from the Zhimei Academy?
He may know where he will go in the future, but he doesn't know where he came from, if a person doesn't even know his own background, deep down he will always feel like duckweed in the world, and like a fallen leaf rising with the wind, floating in the world, with no real home.
Riding on a horse, I didn't have the heart to feel the pride and softness of Qiu Niang's chest at this time, but I was thinking, should I go to the Zhimei Academy to find clues about my life experience?
However, Momiji has instructed that you must not go to the Knowing Temple unless you have to.
The Zhimeiyuan is in Kyoto, and Qin Xiao can find it at any time, but he also knows that it is close at hand, but it is far away from the end of the world.
Momiji has to hide her appearance in Turtle City, show her face as a mato, and live diagonally opposite the door with herself, but she doesn't know her true identity for a few years.
Qin Xiao didn't feel that Hongye was hiding his face just to not attract his attention.
Old man Zhong took himself to an extremely remote village, and now that he thinks about it, it is likely that he is hiding his tracks to avoid the crowd, and the red leaves are also hiding his tracks, which is enough to show that maybe behind the scenes, there is a force looking for them, or they are wary of someone looking for them, and the purpose of looking for them is probably because of themselves.
They were so careful, how could they easily go to the Fortune Courtyard.
If the people of the temple feel that they can contact them, they will not wait for them to find them, but they will take the initiative to come to them, for example, when the autumn leaves appear that night, they will leave immediately if they don't see them, and if they are unscrupulous, they will naturally meet them directly.
Since she is gone, it proves that the time to contact the academy has not yet come, and she must not go to the mysterious Zhimei Temple hastily.
