Volume 1 Prelude Chapter 17 A Precious Gift
Picking up the previous chapter of the book, a female senior sister came to pass the word and asked Zhou Feng and the three of them to go to Lin Yuan Pavilion.
Zhou Feng, Wu Qianyu, Wang Jielin was led all the way by the female senior sister, from the north gate of Tianxuan Square, all the way straight for three or five hundred meters, a large hall in front of it, it is the place where Yuzhou College usually meets and discusses, called the conference hall, bypassing the meeting hall, and walked more than 100 meters, it is a small courtyard, the thatched house is made of mud and embryo walls, the yard is planted with all kinds of vegetables and fruits and some unknown herbs, the slightly shabby courtyard and the magnificent building in front of it seems incompatible.
Opening the wooden door, there was an old man in a gray robe squatting in the vegetable field in front of him, with half-white hair, small and sharp eyes, and a long beard hanging directly to his chest, looking like he was in his sixties.
Lin Baifu was holding a cane made of tiger-headed elm, and when he saw everyone coming, he patted the soil on his body and greeted him with a smile.
The dean looked Zhou Feng up and down, and asked the female senior sister who led the way: "Are these all the best in today's registration?" β
As the dean spoke, he touched Wang Jielin's head, just like pampering his grandson, which made Wang Jielin so embarrassed.
"Quick, come and sit down," the dean beckoned the four of them to their hut.
The main door of the hut stepped over, and what caught my eye was a wall, on which hung the portrait of the first generation of the door master of Yuzhou College, and there was a couplet on the left and right, the upper link was "Heaven and earth, people, gods, ghosts, demons, and demons stealing the sky and changing the sun", and the lower link was "gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind and thunder did not move like a mountain", and the horizontal batch was four rune ancient characters, which could not be recognized.
Underneath the portraits and couplets are two welcoming chairs and a table with celadon kettles and teacups, beautiful ones that seem to be the best accessories in the courtyard. The dean did not let them stand in the outhouse, but led them directly to the east room, which was a long wooden table, which was meticulously dyed with vermilion fuel, with a main seat on the east and west sides, and seven side chairs side by side on the north and south.
The dean motioned for everyone to sit down, and said to Zhou Feng and the three of them kindly: "Except for you, there are some people who have not arrived, and I will start talking about business when they arrive, you can sit and eat as much as you want." β
An old servant with a hunched back brought a large plate of fruit and a plate of snacks, placed them in the center of the table, and began to take other things.
Zhou Feng and the others nodded in thanks, did not eat, and sat there peacefully.
After a while, a male senior brother led seven or eight people to walk in, sat down on the other side, and three minutes later, the last group of people also arrived, at this time in the room, in addition to the three senior brothers and sisters who led the way, there were still the dean and fourteen students who had just signed up, all of whom were the most qualified among the first day applicants, and some of the later ones had no place to sit, so they stood next to them.
The sun had set, and the dean beckoned the old servant to take the lamp, and in the dim light, the party looked mysterious and eerie.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, the dean said: "Okay, it's all here, you should already know that I came here to call you here because you are all the best in the first day of registration, fourteen freshmen with sixth-level or above qualifications, including eight sixth-level qualifications, five seventh-level qualifications, and one eighth-level qualification." Everyone turned their heads to each other, guessing who the eighth-order qualification person was.
The dean coughed, and the room fell silent instantly, and the dean continued: "The first day of enrollment can be described as full of talents and achievements, yes, you are not mistaken, you have all been admitted early! β
Everyone is very excited and happy, and it is naturally a proud thing to be a member of Yuzhou College.
"Among you here, there are eight students from the Hongwen Continent, and six guests from another world, but there is no doubt that once you are signed with the name of Yuzhou Academy, your life, responsibility, and ideals will be tightly tied to Yuzhou College, and the knife will continue to cut and burn, you must always remember that you are the future of Yuzhou Academy, you will definitely rise in the Tianying Dynasty, and your name will resound throughout the Hongwen Continent!!" said the dean impassionedly.
The dean stopped everyone's shouting, stretched out his hand, and took out fourteen small keys, the keys made of Mithril were inlaid with a gem of different colors, delicate and beautiful, and the dean asked the senior brothers and sisters to distribute the keys to the fourteen new students of Yuzhou Academy. Said: "This is the reward you have as the first batch of freshmen to settle in this year, Yuzhou College has four halls, fourteen academies and seven pavilions, this one in your hand is one of the seven pavilions The key to the cabinet of the Chamber of Clerks, it allows you to freely enter and exit the cabinet of the Cabinet of the Clerk's Pavilion, which contains all kinds of ancient books preserved in the Yuzhou Academy for thousands of years, I believe you can be inspired in it." β
The three senior brothers and sisters are all stunned for a while, the document pavilion is divided into two pavilions, the outer pavilion is a hundred years of all kinds of literature exercises, all students of Yuzhou College can read and borrow; the cabinet is all kinds of ancient books and cheats, some are thousands of years old, only the higher level of the tutor of Yuzhou College and the top 20 students of each session of practice and good conduct can participate in enlightenment, the cabinet has a special cabinet keeper, the book can only be studied and watched in it, can not be taken out of the cabinet, but even so, the gift given by this session is enough to make people salivateγ
Everyone was flattered and hurriedly thanked the dean.
The dean smiled and said to them: "There are still two days to be busy recruiting students tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, you will move to the college to live, and your senior brothers and sisters will send you a letter later, which will write the things to bring and things to pay attention to, and when you come here in three days, someone will naturally pick you up, I hope you can live up to my expectations, and work hard to practice in Yuzhou College to become a strong person on the famous side, everyone go back." β
Everyone thanked the dean again, received the distributed letters, and went home.
Zhou Feng, Wu Qianyu and Wang Jielin walked all the way, it was already evening at this time, there were no street lights at night in the other world, but the two full moons above their heads were quite bright, shining on the road ahead of everyone, some inns and restaurants that were open at night and some brothel dance rooms, lit between the bright moon and the darkness, like ghostly creatures in the night.
The three of them walked all the way, and Zhou Feng asked the green-haired young man Wang Jielin, "Brother Wang, where do you live?"
Wang Jielin said: "I have been an orphan since I was a child, and I really regard the world as my home. Now you live at the Late Inn, which is about three miles from here, what about you?"
Zhou Feng said: "We live in the Guqing Inn, farther away than you. β
The three of them began to chat, and in a blink of an eye they had reached a fork in the road.
Wang Jielin bowed his hand: "I will go out to do some things in the next two days, Brother Zhou, Miss Wu, we will see you at the gate of Yuzhou College at half past nine the day after tomorrow." There are still a few night roads ahead, so stay safe and have a good trip. β
Zhou Feng returned the salute and said, "Brother Wang, then we'll see you the day after tomorrow!"
