Chapter 21 But the old way is that people's hearts are fickle
Dugu Xinci rubbed his face, got up and checked the progress of the palace repair, it was not beyond the plan, and it was almost two or three days away.
"They're looking for you to recover the Grand Mage's badge?" Dugu Zhen returned home and found Dugu Xinci.
"En" is lonely and kind, lazy and can't see joy and anger.
"Nonsense" Dugu Wang Ye was angry.
"It's too unkind" Prince Shen regarded the Liaoyang County Mansion as his home.
"What's so angry about? It's not a certain "lonely heart, still water, no waves."
"Then give it to them, go and ask Wei Yixiao, see how good they are" Duguzhen decided to stand up for the heir, Wei Yixiao, and the president of the Warlock Association also.
"If it's something else, if it's returned, it's returned, and if you are a disciple of Huashi, how can you not even be a warlock? This time, I will fight somewhere," Dugu sighed.
"yes, that's too unusual, take back the Grand Sorcerer's Clover Badge, and return the Double Clover Badge in general, right?" Prince Shen was also indignant.
"So-and-so is not a beggar," Dugu Xinci waved his hand, "Tomorrow, so-and-so will go to the Warlock Association"
The next day, Dugu Xinci left Qinrenfang early, but was actually blocked by Shen Wangye, and he smiled and wanted to see the face of the Warlock Association, but Dugu Xinci didn't bother to pay attention to it and let him get into the car.
Dugu Xinci did not go to the Warlock Association first, and came to Anrenfang first, where there is a small wild goose pagoda, obviously Dugu Xinci did not have the heart to visit the ancients.
Coming to a mansion in the southeast corner of Anrenfang, Dugu Xinci respectfully said to the porter, "I'm tired of informing your master, Dugu Tianxing from the Far East is coming to visit."
The porter looked at him suspiciously, and went into the inner house to report.
Soon after, the porter came out alone.
"The master said that he had no friendship with you, so let you do it yourself"
"That's it?"
"So-and-so's ears are not deaf"
"That bothered"
Dugu Xinci was on the back car.
"Which house is this? Such a big shelf? ”
"Warlock Association Five Council Masters Warlock Hua An" Dugu Xinci replied lightly.
"Warlock Hua'an? Well? Isn't that the second apprentice of Huashi? ”
"Hmm"
"How?" Lord Shen was stunned, Dugu Xinci is a closed disciple of Huashi, this is a brother?
Dugu Xinci let Ah Gou continue to drive, out of the Chunming Gate, to the east of the city of the Tang Academy, the Tang Academy in the Chan River and the Longshou Canal between the Changle Slope, the momentum is natural and extraordinary, about the range of a large square in Chang'an City.
"It's really Zhong Lingyuxiu" Dugu Xinci got out of the car and looked at the archways in front of the academy, all of which were given by the saints of the past dynasties.
Datang Academy is just the name of the Yan and Tang people, his original name is called Academy, it has been opened for a thousand years, it was called Dahan Academy in the Han Dynasty, and it was called Dajin Academy in the Jin Dynasty, which is really trouble-free.
The first archway of the academy is the civil and military dismount, Dugu Xinci and Shen Wang Ye will naturally not disobey this thousand-year-old precept, get off the car and walk.
Walking on the gentle slope for about half an hour, you can see the academy and the school, and there are no high-rise buildings, all of them are ordinary brick and wood houses, and they are not like the chess and wood houses in Chang'anfang, the street is straight, built according to the slope, the thick shade is covered, and it is naturally mixed.
Dugu Xinci looked at the students who were flying and sighed, "I really envy their youth."
Prince Shen stared at Dugu Xinci, who had not yet passed his twentieth year, and his heart was tumbling.
Dugu Xinci thought of the humble Wang Jiangnan, an intern at the Tang Academy, and Zheng Sui'er, who was handsome, and thought about whether he was in the academy now, but stopped a student and asked, "Disturb Lang Jun, where is Professor Hua Qingqiu's house?" Something I want to visit."
The student's face was green, but pride and elegance were written on his face, and he pointed out the direction of Professor Hua Qingqiu's house with a little arrogance and enthusiasm.
Dugu Xinci thanked him again, followed the directions, and after a while, he came to a quiet small mansion, and the courtyard in front of the door was full of green vines and elm trees.
The door of the house was not closed, and Dugu Xinci still snapped the knocker.
A little boy came out of the rockery around the court, and Dugu Xinci gave his hand, "But the mansion of Huaqing Qiu Magician?" ”
"Exactly," the boy looked at the group and did not look like a student from the academy.
"Excuse me, the Far East Dugu Tianxing is visiting"
The boy then went back to the middle hall to report, and soon came out with an old man in a gray robe.
At first glance, the old man looked like a raunchy man, his unkempt hair was fixed with a wooden hairpin, and his gray robe was also speckled.
The old man looked at Dugu Xinci in surprise, and suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Dugu Xinci's left wrist, Daxiong and Ah Gou were about to step forward, Dugu Xinci waved his right hand to signal that it was okay.
"Is this magician really so domineering that he can extract the spiritual power of a magician?" The old man frowned.
"It's not extraction, it's loss," Dugu replied.
"Well, come in, think about it again" The old man should be the first apprentice of Hua Shi, the professor of the Tang Academy, Hua Qingqiu Magician.
The old man was speechless all the way, frowning and thinking, and Dugu Xinci and his party followed speechlessly.
The house is really small, with only two rooms in the middle hall and on both sides, and only four rooms in the left and right corridors.
There was also an old man in a yellow robe lying on the Hu bed in the middle hall, and he saw Hua Qingqiu leading his group in.
"Not from the Academy?" He asked in a daze.
"A certain little junior brother" Hua Qingqiu explained without sadness or joy.
"The closed disciple of the Chinese Master, the Grand Magician Dugu Tianxing?" The old man got up, he actually knew the name of the Demon Wolf Heavenly Star.
"The last school Dugu Tianxing has seen the professor"
"Haha, such a young archmagician? Hua Shi is really a good disciple," the old man also laughed.
"His mental power has been damaged, and he is no longer able to perform spells," Hua Qingqiu said coldly.
"Also, how do you feel when you hear about a big battle between you and the clone of the magician Hulamber?" the old man asked again.
"It's unbearable to look back," Dugu smiled bitterly.
"Also, it's not easy for anyone to meet a magician," the old man laughed.
"A certain person who is unable to solve the disease of mental impairment," Hua Qingqiu said again.
"A certain is dead", Dugu Xinci was not hopeful.
"Impaired mental power? What's the big deal? It's not like it's still alive and well," Hua Qingqiu didn't introduce this person.
"Well, when the dean comes back, I'll ask if there's a good way," Hua Qingqiu said again.
"Senior Brother Xie Hua" is lonely and kind.
"What is there to thank for" Hua Qingqiu was really cold.
"Come, come, tell me about your study with the Chinese teacher," the old man in the yellow robe motioned for Dugu Xinci to sit down.
"This is the Golden Shadowless Magician," Hua Qingqiu only remembered to introduce it at this time.
"You are a disciple of Huashi, just call a certain old gold"
"Golden Shadowless Magician?" Dugu Xinci was surprised, "But an alchemist specializing in alchemy?" ”
"You've heard of so-and-so?"
"Alchemist, what warlock hasn't heard of?"
"I like to listen to this, and you can't cast spells with your spiritual power, aren't you also a magician?"
Jin Wuying Warlock is a wonderful flower among the Tang Warlocks, his spiritual power is only slightly stronger than ordinary people, but he concentrates on alchemy, and formulates an auxiliary system for Warlock Meditation, so that Warlock Meditation greatly improves the efficacy of spiritual power cultivation, almost every Tang Warlock has benefited from him, and the Warlock Association unanimously decided to award him the badge of a Warlock.
"Hmph, with the help of the power of external objects, how can you truly refine your spiritual power?" Hua Qingqiu snorted.
"Isn't it a beautiful thing that a certain chosen meditation stone can make meditation twice as effective with half the effort?" Jin Wuying retorted.
Dugu Xinci blinked his eyes, "I came to see my senior brother today, and I have something to ask for"
"Well, what's the matter?" Hua Qingqiu didn't bother to argue with Jin Wuying.
"If you want to go to the Warlock Guild to ask for a sorcerer's identification, you need two referrals," Dugu Xinci said with a smile.
"Sorcerer's identification?" Jin Wuying couldn't help but be surprised, and Shen Wang Yan Chengyi, who followed all the way, was also puzzled.
"Well, I can't perform spells anymore, and the badge of the great magician should be returned, but as a teacher of the Chinese teacher, if I can't even apply for the badge of the magician, wouldn't it be an insult to the master? Inspired by the alchemist, he also wanted to try the alchemist's assessment"
"You're also proficient in alchemy?"
"Alchemy is just a sideshow, you..." Hua Qingqiu was angry, and said gently, "Since you can't cast spells, it's better to try alchemy."
"What's the sideline?" Jin Wuying was also dissatisfied.
"Huashi has also studied alchemy, and a certain person also has a little experience" Dugu Xinci is full of confidence.
"It's okay to accompany you to the Warlock Association, but there are only a few cases of alchemy assessment in a thousand years, so you can think about it?"
"A certain intention has been decided", Dugu Xinci is categorical.
"Good ambition, a certain is also a magician, and it is okay to be a referee" Jin Wuying volunteered.
"Shejin Sorcerer"
"Haha, let's go, we can come back for dinner" Jin Wuying laughed.
King Shen really wanted to say that he hadn't eaten yet, but fortunately, there was no shortage of food with Dugu Xincizhen.
On the carriage, all kinds of pastries and pickles were ready, Jin Wuying and Hua Qingqiu had already eaten, King Shen and Dugu Xinci Big Bear Ah Dog hastily filled their stomachs, and hurried to the Warlock Association in Yongjiafang, Dongyongjiafang, Tonghua Gate.
Yongjiafang is in the north of Xingqing Palace, Xingqing Palace occupied most of the territory of Yongjiafang when it was built, if it were not for the Warlock Association in Yongjiafang, I am afraid that the entire workshop would be occupied.
The Warlock Guild is just an ordinary mansion, and there are no heavy guards.
Dugu Xinci asked the big bear to follow with a box, and everyone was admitted to the hospital.
When I entered the mansion, I met one of the warlocks who went to the palace of Liaoyang County yesterday.
"Grand Sorcerer Dugu is here to return the badge, it's not far from three days, why don't you keep it for two days?" This warlock is an abomination of words.
"A certain searched carefully last night, and finally found the badge, and came to return it today" Dugu Xinci is really good-natured.
"Which college are you from? Whose door? Hua Qingqiu drank coldly.
"What's going on?" Jin Wuying also frowned.
"This Lang Jun is also the duty officer," Dugu Xinci exonerated him.
"Hmph, a certain is a disciple of the Chinese teacher, who are these two people? The Warlock Guild is not the palace of Liaoyang County? Who can come and go wild? Dugu Great Warlock, leave quickly after handing back the badge" The warlock actually retorted.
"Hua'an, come out to so-and-so" Jin Wuying was furious. Hua Shi's disciple cannot be Hua Qingqiu's disciple, that is, Hua An's disciple, one of the five directors of the Warlock Association.
"You didn't go to visit Senior Brother Hua?" Hua Qingqiu frowned.
"I've been, the second senior brother is busy," Dugu Xinci explained.
"It's actually the same door, it's okay if this second senior brother doesn't recognize it" Hua Qingqiu is also a fierce person, but the magician is not stupid, and he guesses what is behind the scenes in a word.
"Obey the words of the elder brother"
"Who are you?" The warlock also felt a little wrong.
"The disciples of the Chinese Master don't know the first apprentice of the Chinese Master?" Jin Wuying laughed.
"Let's go," Hua Qingqiu said in a clear voice.
"Yes, let's go, go and ask Hua An, is he the only one left as a disciple of Hua Shi?" Jin Wuying continued to laugh.
"I don't want to see this person again in the future," Hua Qingqiu said coldly.
The group came to the backyard, and only the Chinese master was stunned.
The backyard is quite spacious and lush with green trees.
I came to a side room, where there were several people chatting.
"Excuse me, a certain desire magician appraisal, how does it work?" Dugu Xinci arched his hand.
"Appraiser?" These people were a little surprised, but there were few sorcerers in a year.
"Exactly"
These people are also warlocks, ignoring Jin Wuying and Hua Qingqiu, the two bad old men, and the appearance of warlocks is also a compulsory course, these two look like old servants with a pale head, Dugu Xinci is well-dressed, and they are also carefully dressed up today, with brocade clothes and jade belts, people rely on their clothes, but they look full of luxury.
It can't be some kind of aristocratic family who is bored for fun, right? The warlock in the house soon identified that Dugu Xinci's spiritual strength was not strong.
"I want to participate in the alchemist assessment, and these two are the introducers of so-and-so" Dugu Xinci gave another gift.
This time, everyone in the house woke up to the fact that they were all forty or fifty years old, and they were not comparable to the ignorant Chinese teacher outside the hospital.
"Lang Jungui's surname? Have you ever qualified as a Warlock? Can I report to the Warlock Guild? Someone asked.
Dugu Xinci groped for the Great Bear's shamrock badge from the Great Bear's treasure bag and presented it with both hands.
"A certain is the Far Eastern Dugu Heavenly Star, which has been reported in the Warlock Association, this is a certain badge, and I want to return it this time?"
"Grand Sorcerer Dugu Tianxing?" Several warlocks in the room were in charge of the resumes of the warlocks of the Yan and Tang Dynasties, and naturally remembered the names of the five great magicians of the former empire, the Demon Wolf Heavenly Star.
"Actually, you don't have to return it," one warlock laughed dryly, "Unless there are great traitors, the association has no rules for taking back the badge"
"Isn't it the association's dispatch notice that the badge must be returned within three days?" Dugu looked at the warlocks innocently.
"How so?" The warlock who spoke was puzzled, and an insider on the side hurriedly tugged at the sleeve of his coat.
"The association also has a practice of automatically returning the badge after being demoted, and the insider took the badge.
Hua Qingqiu and Jin Wuying looked at it coldly and didn't speak.
"The badge has been returned, how will the alchemist's assessment be conducted?" Dugu asked again.
"But the alchemist? If you apply for an alchemist, tell a few directors to see if you can make an exception? "The unwitting warlock is better talking.
"There is no example of the Huashi Sect accepting gifts," Hua Qingqiu couldn't help but hum.
"Then this alchemist's assessment is not in accordance with the rules," the informed warlock also snorted.
"So-and-so is an alchemist" Jin Wuying endured it for a long time.
"Your Excellency?"
"These two are Hua Qingqiu and Jin Wuying Magicians of the Tang Academy," Dugu Xinci introduced.
Everyone took a breath of cold air, the first apprentice of Huashi, the first alchemist of Yan Tang, as long as the names of the two were Yan Tang Warlocks, there was nothing they had not heard of.
"In that case, Rong will report to the directors to see how to make a decision?" Some people just want to push the blame up.
A group of people walked in the courtyard, the leader was an old man in a green robe, Dugu Xinci didn't know him, and the one behind him was familiar, and it was actually Gu Meng, the captain of the Right Weiwei Xuanjie.
Dugu smiled kindly, but he didn't want to come forward to talk to him at the moment.
Gu Meng's magician saw Dugu Xinci at a glance, said to the old man in front of him, and smiled.
"How can Dugu Duwei have time to come to this remote place?"
"I've seen Gu Meng's magician, if the Warlock Guild is a remote place, then where is the prosperous place?"
"Haha, let's go, I've seen a certain master, and I'll find a place to drink a few more glasses"
"That's good, Ben Langjun also wants to know if Captain Gu's alcohol consumption has increased?"
"Haha, so-and-so is already a captain"
"Congratulations, congratulations, it's just that there are still some small things to do here, bother Gu Mengshu to wait a while, and I will go to find you when I finish doing it."
"What's going to do?"
"Oh, do you need to return the Archmage Badge?"
"Return the Archmage Badge? How can this be reasonable," Gu Meng's magician was stunned and furious.
"Hehe, yes, I still want to identify the qualifications of a magician?"
"Appraiser qualifications?" Gu Meng Magician was even more curious, he was present in the Demon Devil Wolf Battle that day, and the fall of the Heavenly Star Magician made the Yan Tang Magicians worry for a long time.
"Yes, so-and-so can't cast spells anymore, but so-and-so wants to try alchemist qualifications?"
"Alchemist?" Gu Meng looked around, and only then did he realize the existence of Hua Qingqiu and Jin Wuying.
"Professor Hua and the Alchemist are the introducers for the Dugu Grand Magician?" Gu Meng has known these two celebrities in the wizard world for many years in Chang'an.
The two nodded.
"Hey, why don't you come to find so-and-so? You can also be your introducer," Gu Mengshu paused.
