Chapter 23 Foothold
Gu Jiang was supported and walked on the street, his back was extremely desolate.
After walking for a while, Sun Xiaoyi took Gu Jiang to the dilapidated restaurant at home.
"Here we are, here it is. ”
"What is this place?"
"Teacher Wu's restaurant, I have to come back every night to help him close the door, I am his closed disciple. ”
“......”
Only then did Gu Jiang know that this was called a closed disciple.
There is a tattered signboard hanging on the top of the restaurant, with three big characters "Wu Daoju" written on it, which is covered with thick stains, and it is impossible to see if you are not careful.
Walking into the restaurant, Sun Xiaoyi took off the door panel piece by piece and began to close the door very familiarly, exercising the responsibility of "closing the door".
The tables in the restaurant were empty, and there were handfuls of dishes and chopsticks, and there was a sloppy old man sitting at the counter on one side, who was the old man I saw today.
At this time, he was holding something like an iron pipe and looking at it carefully, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Teacher Wu, this is a new day student from the academy, named Gu Jiang, who will live here in the future, right?"
Sun Xiaoyi asked, but Old Man Wu didn't raise his head, he casually pointed to the back and said, "There is a bed over there, you can live if you want, three taels of silver a month." ”
Gu Jiang was a little helpless, he didn't expect that the accommodation here still had to be cashiered, but there was no good way in front of him, it was always better than sleeping on the street, so he nodded reluctantly.
Sun Xiaoyi was about to help Gu Jiang clean up the room, when Old Man Wu suddenly stood up and said, "Wait, help me try this new thing." ”
Under the old man's orders, Sun Xiaoyi stood in the corner in a daze, looking confused.
Old man Wu put a marble into the iron pipe, then sealed the iron pipe with a special film, and tinkered with it for a long time, and then aimed the iron pipe at Sun Xiaoyi.
A wicked smile on his face.
"Look at it. ”
Old man Wu said a word, and a fire aura suddenly ignited in his hand, which was connected to the iron pipe, and he didn't know what the iron pipe had done, and it turned into a red color.
Even Ima Hong and Lisabeth and the others were attracted by this strange behavior, and looked at Old Man Wu intently, not knowing what he was going to do.
"Poof!"
With a muffled sound, the bullet spewed out of the iron pipe, and it just landed at Sun Xiaoyi's feet.
Sun Xiaoyi's face was black.
"Mr. Wu, what are you studying? ”
Old man Wu blushed with a face, picked up the marble from the ground and said to himself: "It's still a little bit close, it should be about to succeed." ”
Gu Jiang on the side was dumbfounded, because he had seen this thing before.
If you read that right, this thing should have been called a pistol in the original world!
Old Man Wu continued: "It's still my fire spiritual power that is insufficient, if this thing is placed in the hands of a master above the Spirit Venerable, it can kill people and be invisible, and it is extremely powerful!"
Gu Jiang basically understood the principle of the old man's idea, it was to inject the fire spiritual power into the iron pipe, and then suddenly burst out, in order to achieve the effect of the jet, the old man may be right, if there is a strong enough fire spiritual power, it can indeed increase the power of the jet.
But the masters above Lingzun are already so awesome, what do you want this thing for?
Old man Wu only glanced at Gu Jiang at this time, noticed the "weapon" behind him, and said with a slight stunned: "It turned out to be you kid, I have seen you." ”
Gu Jiang nodded politely and said, "Hello old man." ”
Old man Wu waved his hand and said, "Don't call me old man, my name is Wu Tengnan, just call me Teacher Wu like him." ”
"Oh. Gu Jiang nodded in agreement, and read the old man's name again, feeling weird?
"Wu Tengnan?" was suddenly stunned in his heart, it turned out that he had been friends with this Teacher Wu for a long time in his previous life.
Old Man Wu's gaze looked at the pot behind Gu Jiang again.
"Are you a cook?"
The children of poor families have long been in charge, and Gu Jiang began to cook by himself when he was very young, which was difficult for him, so he nodded and said, "I can do it." ”
Tomorrow I will cook two dishes and see, if the craftsmanship is good, you can stay with me as a cook, and the rent can be waived for you.
Gu Jiang was stunned for a moment, and then said, "This is not good, I still have to go to class." ”
I left my hometown and came to Guanghua City to improve my cultivation, not to be a chef.
Old man Wu said disdainfully: "What can you learn when you go to Chongyun Academy, and where will those teachers teach students?" You look at the students of the entire academy, no matter how good or bad their qualifications are, most of them have been in a mess for three years, and there are very few who can reach the spiritual cultivation realm, and even if they do, it is useless, in the spiritual master world, this cultivation is not enough at all. ”
Seeing that Gu Jiang was a little stunned, Old Man Wu continued: "If you don't believe it, you will know if you go to class for a few days, a day student like you can't afford to pay for spirit stones, but you just learn some daily methods of warming and cultivating spiritual energy step by step, these things are learned in bed, and you still need to go to the academy?"
Gu Jiang asked with some puzzlement, "Is it really impossible to learn useful things in such a big college?"
This time, it was Sun Xiaoyi who said: "The teacher is right, since the new dean of Chongyun Academy took office, it has not been able to learn anything useful for ordinary students like us, and the real core knowledge needs to be paid for spiritual stone supplementary classes in the spare time." ”
"Huh?"
Gu Jiang's enthusiasm was suddenly hit, and he asked suspiciously, "Are these all set by the dean?"
Sun Xiaoyi said: "Of course, Dean Gu usually looks dignified, but in fact, he is full of bad water, and the Flame Country of Chongyun Academy will subsidize many spirit stones every year, even so, he still digs his heart to earn spirit stones everywhere in the academy." ”
Thinking of the small stove in the restaurant, Gu Jiang couldn't help but nodded, it seems that what Sun Xiaoyi said is not an exaggeration.
After a pause, Sun Xiaoyi continued: "But there are still good teachers in the academy, such as Teacher Kong Miao, who usually doesn't care what the dean says, what she should teach in class, and she is also the most beloved teacher among our poor students." ”
Gu Jiang seemed to have some impressions, and hurriedly asked, "Do you mean that pretty female teacher?"
Sun Xiaoyi nodded and said: "It's her, Teacher Kong Miao is not only beautiful, I heard that her martial arts skills are also very powerful, if you take her class in the future, you should be able to learn something useful." ”
The old man Wu on the side snorted disdainfully and said: "What's not good to learn, is it good to learn from that girl?" Look at her, she is thirty years old and can't get married. ”
It's not early, Gu Jiang feels a little tired, and is ready to rest, as for whether to stay here and be a chef, he hasn't thought about it yet.
He was reluctant to pay for the accommodation, it was all in exchange for his life.
Looking at the iron pipe in Old Man Wu's hand, Gu Jiang paid attention to it.
