Xu Mingyuan sent Zeng Qingyi to the side gate of the academy, watched her enter the academy, and drove the donkey cart back to Micang Mountain.

Every time Xu Mingyuan goes out on a long trip, he always brings Zeng Qingyi some interesting small objects, including the large conch picked up on the coast of the East China Sea, and the night pearl in the Western Regions that can be worth a thousand gold. When he arrived at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, Xu Mingyuan also thought about bringing a snow lotus bead back to Zeng Qingyi, who had been afraid of heat since he was a child, but unfortunately he couldn't touch it, so he had to give up.

Today, Qi Haobo used a snow lotus bead to lead the water to the east, Xu Mingyuan played a little trick and took advantage of the situation to accept this snow lotus bead, just this time I didn't find anything interesting in Beili, so I took this snow lotus bead to make up the number.

As the master traveled the world, Xu Mingyuan's vision also rose with the road he walked. I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup his master poured into those people, in short, every time he entered a wealthy family, Xu Mingyuan could go out with a stuffed package, and there were many rare items inside.

It's just that both of them have the same personality, there is no money to spend without money, there is money to spend money, there is money to spend money, every time they can squander it all, and finally lie down with a cart of books and return empty-handed.

has been a treasure in the eyes of many others in the pawnshop, Xu Mingyuan does not have too much rarity for these so-called heaven and earth wonders, and he doesn't need to think much about giving them to Zeng Qingyi.

And today's move with the six monsters in southern Sichuan made Xu Mingyuan a little excited, although he only kicked the flying mouse, but this was the first time he had done it with a real Jianghu person. He and his master traveled as if they had stepped into a strange world, except for the old man, there were basically only ordinary people, and over the years, there were very few battles in the rivers and lakes that he had really seen with his own eyes.

As for the last fight with Shen Fei, in Xu Mingyuan's opinion, the person who has been worn away from the free and loose atmosphere of the Jianghu people is not worthy of the three words Jianghu people at all.

He took Lao Huang back to the grass shed, unloaded the donkey cart, took the sickle in the shed, cut two large handfuls of grass and put it on the side, enough for Lao Huang to eat for two days, and then carried the bamboo box on his back, carrying half a bag of rice and those vegetables and fruits up the mountain.

After putting the rice and vegetables in the kitchen, Xu Mingyuan took a watermelon and cut it in half, and threw half of it to the master sitting in the main hall, while he sat directly on the threshold of the main hall, digging and eating with a wooden spoon.

Xu Mingyuan briefly told the master about the six monsters and Qi Haobo in southern Sichuan today, ate a few bites of watermelon, looked at the master who was breaking half of the watermelon in half, and asked: "Master, you said that I haven't reached the third grade, but if the six monsters in southern Sichuan are all three grades, I think I can at least beat one of them." ”

Qing Xuan shook off his neatly combed white hair, tilted his head and spit out three or four inky black watermelon seeds, shook his head and said, "What are the six monsters in southern Sichuan, then Wu Xiaogui dares to make such a big name with a few kittens and dogs?" In addition to the Wu little ghost, he can barely be regarded as entering the third grade, and the other little ghosts can only see the line of the third grade.

In fact, you can almost see the line of the third pin, but your line is higher than the normal line, and it is more difficult than ordinary people to cross it. ”

"Then, what about Zeng Qingyi's lazy girl?" Hearing this, Xu Mingyuan asked with some doubts.

"That girl, I entered the third grade last year, Wu Xiaogui has not advanced an inch for most of his life, and now he can bully and bully his juniors, but today it is folded in the hands of the two of you, and it is estimated that he will not have the face to mix in the rivers and lakes in the future." Qingxuan grinned, took another big bite of watermelon, and said a little vaguely: "This melon is strangely sweet, if it can be chilled with well water for half an hour, it will be more delicious." ”

"Save it, the water under the mountain has become warmer when you pick it up to the mountain." Xu Mingyuan rolled his eyes, pondered for a while, and then asked, "Master, who do you think is more powerful, Qi Haobo or Zeng Ya?" ”

Qing Xuan put aside the watermelon skin that had been bitten white in his hand, wiped his hand on his body indiscriminately, and said with a smile: "Being able to escape calmly surrounded by six people is not bad, but if you fight Zeng Yatou head-on, it should be a line behind."

But that little guy has some meaning, according to what you just said, if he wants to go, although he will have to waste a little more strength, it is not a dead end. A snow lotus pearl worth a thousand taels of silver, Pingshui met and sent it like this, the word chic, deserved. ”

Xu Mingyuan smiled and nodded, if you say the word chic, among the people Xu Mingyuan has seen, Qi Haobo is indeed the most worthy. However, I heard what Master Zeng said that fifty years ago, Li Taibai stepped into Chang'an with a sword in white clothes, and Chang'an City was empty, and the old man Li at that time may be more chic.

Xu Mingyuan asked the master some questions about the three grades, and it seems that if you want to enter the three grades, you must indeed be able to break the stone with sword qi. And today, Zeng Qingyi's sword cut off Wu Laogui's skeletal crutch, and the sword qi broke the arm of the flying mouse, and the sharpness of the sword qi was indeed not comparable to him.

After eating half a watermelon, Xu Mingyuan went to the kitchen to cook and cook, and poured half a bag of rice into the rice jar, which was enough for their master and apprentice to eat for a while.

After patting two cucumbers and cold salad, and then stir-frying a plate of green pepper and eggplant, the dinner of the master and apprentice was solved.

After brushing the bowl, Xu Mingyuan circled around the stone flat in front of him a few times, and then chatted with Qing Xuan, who was standing with his hands and looking up at the stars, and talked a few words about the mysterious and mysterious stars, and then went into his room to read.

Xu Mingyuan has not been interested in the way of the stars since he was a child, and the master has never forced him to learn anything since he was a child, and he can be regarded as growing up.

Most of the things he has learned over the years are what he is willing to learn, or he learns for a more comfortable life. For example, the cooking skills that are not bad are considered to take into account the north and south of the river, and even the taste of the Western Regions and the style of Beili.

……

Early in the morning of the second day, Xu Mingyuan picked up water, practiced swords, bought two buns casually on the side of the road, and went directly to the academy.

The day before yesterday, he just won the first place in the debate, and yesterday he defeated the six monsters of southern Sichuan in Mingshun Avenue and Zeng Qingyi, and Xu Mingyuan's fame among the students of the academy soared. As for whether this fame is good or bad, it is unknown, but when Xu Mingyuan walked into the academy wearing a half-old Taoist robe and carrying a Chenghuang wine gourd on his waist, it attracted much attention.

In the morning, Wang Lu Qisheng gave a lecture in the hall, Xu Mingyuan naturally didn't touch his head, took a copy of "The Book of Rites", and went straight to Zhuquan Pavilion. The bamboo forest is long, the clear spring is dingdong, Xu Mingyuan is lying on the bench, just about to pick up the book, the two figures have already walked into the small pavilion.

"Brother Yuan, I know you're here." Zhou Binjie said with a smile, his huge body walked past Xu Mingyuan and sat directly on the recliner beside him.

The other person was naturally Bai Molou, who was holding a jade fan in his hand, nodded at Xu Mingyuan, and sat down on the remaining bench.

Xu Mingyuan looked at the two of them sideways, and said with a smile: "Why are you two here not to listen to Wang's class?" ”

Zhou Binjie leaned on the pavilion pillar, shook his head and said: "No, anyway, it's the hospital exam in a month, and I can't get any students, so it's better to have fun this month, even if Wang Humpback wants to drive me out, my father can't do anything to me." ”

"Exam?" Xu Mingyuan frowned slightly, and said with some doubts: "Isn't it a scientific expedition in two months?" Why is there a hospital test next month? ”

"The college examination is an examination for the selection of students in various academies, and the abbot of the Admiral Xuezheng has the qualification to go to Chang'an to participate in the Spring Festival. The autumn festival after two months is open to all registered scholars, and those who take the exam are called Juren, and they can also participate in the autumn festival. Bai Molou explained, the jade fan in his hand shook gently, and his voice was still cold.

"I see." Xu Mingyuan nodded thoughtfully, since he entered the academy, the academy exam in a month should also be examined. However, his eyes widened, and he looked at Bai Molou again and said, "Then if you win the first place in this academy test, will there be a reward?" ”

Bai Molou shook the hand of the jade fan, looked at Xu Mingyuan's nervous expression, and couldn't help but cry and laugh a little: "Didn't you just get a snow lotus pearl yesterday?" That's more than a thousand taels of silver, why are you still thinking about the reward of those few taels of silver? ”

When Zhou Binjie heard this, he stood up, looked at Xu Mingyuan and said excitedly: "Brother Yuan, they all said that you and the female devil were on Mingshun Avenue yesterday and beat down the majestic six monsters in southern Sichuan." However, they all said that you didn't take the snow lotus bead, and praised you for being upright and upright, worthy of being a student of the academy. Could it be that Qi Haobo really threw the Snow Lotus Bead to you? ”

Xu Mingyuan sat up, ignoring Zhou Binjie's words, but looked at Bai Molou and asked with some surprise: "Xiaobai, you weren't there yesterday, how did you know that the snow lotus bead fell into my hand?" ”

"I didn't go there, but there were a lot of people there, and someone could see something." Bai Molou shook his fan and said coldly: "The Zeng family and the Bai family are world friends, and the Bai family is still concerned about the safety of Master Zeng and Zeng Qingyi. Don't say I know, I want to come to the old ghost Wu in the six monsters in southern Sichuan is also clear, but later I was afraid of Zeng Qingyi's strength, and the sacred master you moved out of nowhere was frightened, so I retreated. ”

Xu Mingyuan nodded, with the power of the Bai family, it is indeed not difficult to find out something in Shuzhou City. Xu Mingyuan looked at Zhou Binjie and smiled bitterly: "It's not me and the female devil, it's the female devil who picked the three of them alone, and cut off the claws of the mouse with a sword, and I just kicked the black foot next to me." Moreover, the snow lotus bead was given to Zeng Qingyi's little goblin, so I am still poor and white. ”

"How can the female devil's martial arts be so powerful, is there anyone in this world who can control him." Zhou Binjie heard this, nodded thoughtfully, and sat down again, but his eyes lit up, and he looked at Xu Mingyuan and teased: "The snow lotus beads worth a thousand taels can be given to the female devil after changing hands, Brother Yuan, what is the relationship between you and her." ”

Xu Mingyuan coughed dryly, did not pick up Zhou Binjie's words, but looked at Bai Molou and asked, "Xiaobai, do you know the identity of Qi Haobo?" ”

"The origin of this person is a little unknown, he only appeared on the rivers and lakes five months ago, and he defeated the Fulian monk in his first shot, and then won several famous masters in the rivers and lakes one after another, and became famous in the rivers and lakes of Jiannan Road. It is said that he fell in love with the daughter of the head of the Qingcheng Sword Sect, and this time he went to Tianshan to buy snow lotus beads, probably to please the woman. Bai Molou thought for a while.
