This feeling of not being able to control the situation was very bad, and it made Jiang Chen feel a little angry in his heart.

And this experience is very unreal, a moment ago he was just an ordinary junior high school student who failed the high school entrance examination, and he was distressed about his future life choices, but in only about 24 hours, not only his three views were torn apart, and the campus goddess became a goddess stick, but the other party also jumped out mercilessly and told him: There may be so many 800 people who have been looking for him, and even want his life.

How is that possible...... I'm only 16 and I haven't had a girlfriend yet, and I haven't even given my first ...... If it's a Japanese drama now, shouldn't I go wild in the rain...... Or run wild in the wheat field...... Running wild by the sea......

You don't have to write a novel with such blood, do you......

Jiang Chen found that he couldn't think about this problem too rationally, and even his heart didn't really face such a reality. So he smiled bitterly: "Do I have a choice?"

Xia Mai was not surprised by his answer, and showed a smile: "This road looks glamorous, but most of the time it can't help itself. ”

Jiang Chen was even a little numb, because there was no sense of reality at all, and his thoughts even began to diverge uncontrollably, thinking that if the prince sat here, he must be excited to start welcoming the new life of the protagonist of the novel......

No...... If it was that guy, he might have accepted all the settings when he got the first call from the school!

"Alright, time is limited, it's time for us to go. The girl's voice interrupted Jiang Chen's fugue, and Taixu beckoned to the waiter: "Pay the bill!"

"Where are you going?" Jiang Chen, who was a young man with five good qualities, subconsciously took out his wallet, but the girl opposite waved his hand: "Save it, there will be a place for you to spend money in a while." ”

The other party's style was too vigorous and resolute, and he didn't give a "mortal" like Jiang Chen a chance to breathe, he felt that he really couldn't keep up with this girl's thinking mode.

With a gust of wind chimes tinkling, Jiang Chen followed Xia Mai out of the café.

"So...... Where the hell are we going now?" asked the question again.

Xia Mai stopped walking and stopped a taxi on the side of the road: "You just want to go to school with your real identity? ”

Beautiful girls always have a bit of an advantage in life, Jiang Chen saw a red taxi pass over several middle-aged uncles who stopped on the side of the road and decisively stopped beside Xia Mai.

"Master, the old street on the sea, the treasure building. ”

The taxi master worked very hard, and with one foot of the accelerator, Jiang Chen's whole person was attached to the seat.

It turns out that Santana 2,000 can also drive this kind of push-back launch and fly close to the ground......

After the two sat down in the car, Xia Mai took out a bag from his bag and threw it in his arms: "Oh, you forgot." ”

When I opened it, I saw that it was not the pamphlet that I had handed out at the information meeting that day, and I was afraid of getting into trouble at the time, so I didn't bring it out at all. What kind of elixir and what moxibustion were issued by the second master of Lei put together...... With a whole big bag, Jiang Chen wondered if Xia Mai had thrown her in with hers.

"It's a terrible thing. Hurry up and put it away carefully, and you will thank me later. ”

"Huh. Reluctantly responded, but was actually taught a lesson by a little girl younger than himself, laughed dryly, and asked: "What did you mean by not being able to use your true identity just now?"

"Today, two missions. The girl stretched out two fingers and shook them in front of his eyes: "Get a fake certificate and buy a list." ”

"......," Jiang Chen waited for him to continue explaining.

"My family is also a monk family, and on a first-come, first-served basis, our future safety has been contracted by us. ”

Jiang Chen instantly had the feeling of being pushed into a corner by the domineering president......

"However, after all, our strength is limited, so we borrowed a fake identity from someone else to help you enroll in school, saving you trouble. Xia Mai began to rummage in her bag again, and soon she pulled out a neat stack of paper: "Just him." ”

Open the paper handed over by the girl, and the thin one is a basic piece of information, and the boy on it is the same age as him, and he doesn't see anything special.

"Didn't you say that every freshman's name is on the pre-admission list, and doesn't it matter if you change someone?" Jiang Chen was puzzled.

"I know you haven't read the admission letter seriously until now. I don't know if I'm dazzled, I always feel that Xia Mai seems to be looking at him: "This person's name is Chen Qi, and he is also one of the freshmen enrolled this year." ”

Without waiting for Jiang Chen to ask again, she continued: "The best thing is that this Chen Qi started his retreat a month before he received the notice, and he won't come to class at all. So we hit it off with the Chen family and lent you his identity for use first. ”

After waiting for a while, the other party did not respond, and when she looked over, she found that Jiang Chen was just looking at her silently. Xia Mai saw the change in his expression, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

"It turns out that you all planned it from the moment you received the list of notices......" After a long silence, he turned his head out the window and whispered.

The girl was stunned, opened her mouth again, as if she wanted to say something, hesitated for a moment, and finally closed her lips.

"I should have thought that no one would help me for no reason. Jiang Chen smiled bitterly: "However, you didn't try to hide it from me, I have nothing to complain about." ”

"Actually," Xia Mai spread his hands: "If you hadn't come during the seminar, you wouldn't have been targeted so early." I'm going to call you along...... So," the girl's eyes became very serious, "I really should say to you, I'm sorry." ”

Jiang Chen smiled, but did not continue to speak. He can't really be indifferent to the design and use of the other party, and he can't be extremely open-minded to forgive the other party. At the same time, he is really very weak now, and the information of the other party is extremely asymmetrical, probably the weak person has no right and position to express his feelings of resistance.

This feeling of not being able to control the situation is really bad.

But on the best side, at least Xia Wheat did not pose a threat to his life, which was already very lucky for him.

......

There were no more words along the way, and soon the taxi stopped in a small alley near the treasure building, the destination. It was found after Xia Mai commanded the driver, and even scratched the small tricycle parked on the side of the road.

This is an extremely old dwelling - a typical old alley on the sea, with a quaint wooden frame and neat bluestone bricks that respond to the call of history. Follow Xia Wheat through a stone arch and into a small courtyard. The light that filtered through the patio was directly opposite a dark door. The door was open, but inside it seemed to be a windowless hall, and it was hard to see clearly, and the stone walls on either side were spread with lush creepers, and the green smelled of plants in the somewhat dark courtyard.

An old brass bell hung from the door, and a little green rust spread through the cracks. The girl's soft and white fingers touched the lever of the copper bell and shook it gently.

The crisp bell rings - jingle bell~

"Eh~~!come~la~!!" The crisp echo of the brass bell was not over, and the man's voice with the tail note came from the dark room. Then there was a series of fast and steady footsteps, and a figure in a dark gray overalls emerged from the door.

"It's wheat, come in!" the man grinned when he saw Xia Wheat.

"Uncle Zhong is good. Xia Mai responded with the appearance of a polite child who greeted his elders, and motioned for Jiang Chen to go in with him: "Uncle Zhong, help him get a certificate." ”

The light in the room was very dim, and it took Jiang Chen a while for his eyes to get used to it, and he began to look at the general outline of the furnishings in the room.

It was supposed to be a living room, but there were no tables, chairs, coffee tables, and sofas, and nothing hung on the walls. Only in the center of the room were a few digital machines that looked a little advanced, but he couldn't tell what they were.

"Aren't you dolls going to do something again?" The middle-aged man known as Uncle Zhong put on a pair of cotton yarn knitted gloves soaked in oil, but his mouth kept babbling: "If I find out that you are going to do something bad, don't tell your parents to break your legs......"

Xia Mai couldn't cry or laugh: "Uncle Zhong, this time it's really a serious matter, it's the family's request, you see." The girl seemed to take out something and shook it and put it away, Jiang Chen didn't see it clearly.

"Okay, okay, who told me to owe you mom a favor. Uncle Zhong looked like he wanted to say goodbye, but he didn't delay in his hand, took the information handed to him by Xia Mai, and got busy on one of the machines.

It didn't take long for a brand-new ID card to be handed over, Jiang Chen was dumbfounded, and he asked Xia Mai in a low voice: "Can this be used......

Who knew that Xia Mai actually gave him a blank look: "Do you like to use it." Jiang Chen had no choice but to keep his mouth shut obediently.

"Uncle Zhong, please help him rub his face again!" The girl was extremely strong and pushed Jiang Chen in front of Uncle Zhong.

The tone was like saying, "Boss!"

"Okay, come on. Uncle Zhong pulled Jiang Chen over, threw the gloves he was wearing on his hand to the ground, and raised two slaps to press him in the face.

"Hey, hey, wait!" Jiang Chen was unhappy: "My face is quite clean, no need to rub it!"

"Don't move your doll! Rub your eyeballs out again! Wheat seeds, press him quickly!" Uncle Zhong didn't seem to be a patient person, and the left and right palms tightly clamped Jiang Chen's head, and the strength of his hands made Jiang Chen feel that his brain was about to be pinched. Xia Mai was also unceremonious, and even cut his two hands directly behind his back.

Is...... People are swordsmen, I am fish and meat!

This middle-aged man didn't know if it was hot or something in his body, and his hand on Jiang Chen's skin was extremely hot, and the places he touched seemed to make the cigarette butts burn, and it hurt to sting. And Uncle Zhong is indeed very strong, I saw that Jiang Chen's face was like a soft white dough in his hands, and the whole thing was kneaded and deformed, his eyes were squeezed into a slit for a while, and his mouth was crooked to the base of his ears for a while...... He felt that Xia Mai, who was cutting his hands behind him, seemed to be trembling, and nine times out of ten he was holding back a smile.

This kind of unilateral humiliation lasted for about ten minutes, and in the end, Jiang Chen only felt that his face was no longer his own face, hot, numb, and even very reluctant to admit that he still felt a little comfortable. When Uncle Zhong's hand left his face, there was actually a voice in his heart shouting: Don't go, rub it for a while......"

Jiang Chen only felt that his face continued to be hot, and he didn't know if it was rubbed or what.

A mirror stuffed into his hand interrupted his thoughts, Uncle Zhong took out a box of cigarettes, lit one, and asked with an expression of smoke afterwards, "Are you satisfied?"

Jiang Chen: "......"

Xia Mai looked left and right at his face: "Yes, it's enough to confuse the real with the fake." ”

When he saw himself in the mirror, his hands shook a few times, and it took a lot of effort to hold the mirror steady: it was like the plot of a fairy tale or a supernatural story, Jiang Chen saw a face in the mirror that did not belong to him at all.

That was the appearance of the male classmate named Chen Qi, at least in Jiang Chen's own opinion, there was no difference at all.

"Thank you, Uncle Zhong!" Xia Mai seemed very happy.

"Don't thank me, go home and tell your mother that if she divorces that old immortal, I'll wait for her!" Uncle Zhong raised the cigarette in his hand and raised his eyebrows proudly.

The corners of Xia Mai's eyes twitched very obviously, but she still maintained a polite smile: "Let's go, Chen~Tong~Learn." The deliberately elongated pronunciation was to let Jiang Chen know that from this moment on, he would keep telling himself all the time that he was no longer "Jiang Chen", but "Chen Qi".

Just as he was about to leave, Uncle Zhong suddenly grabbed Jiang Chen's hand, and there was a faint hint of mystery on his face: "Little doll, you take these." ”

Hmm? Could it be that the cultivator has eyes on me, and he wants to give me some heavenly treasure? Jiang Chen looked at his hand.

At that moment, a hundred conjectures flashed through his heart, but the reality was always more ups and downs than he imagined: it was a dozen small cards the size of business cards, printed in very thick font: "Certificate: 13853XXXX07"

Jiang Chen: "......"

Uncle Zhong: "Help Uncle Zhong send a hair, what's in the alley in the community." There is sticker on the back, and the telephone pole can also be pasted!!, what are you two doing so fast......

......

When he went out, Jiang Chen felt as if he had a thousand or ten thousand words to say, but he didn't know how to speak. Xia Mai laughed: "I am also familiar with Chen Qi, but you have such an expression on his face, it is really ...... Play. ”

"By the way, speaking of this...... Jiang Chen scratched his head: "The information you gave me before was too little, not enough for me to impersonate a person, not to mention that many people in your circle seem to know each other." ”

"Of course it's not just that," Xia Mai looked at him with idiotic eyes: "I sent you a network disk link on WeChat, which contains about 30 G of text and audio materials, you go back and read it slowly." The little video taken by his father and mother when he was born, the disease-free moaning in the circle of friends late at night, the photos of his female friends who once dumped him, etc., there are everything. ”

"Uh...... I thought, aren't you the best in the world......? Do I need to use an ID card? Do you still use a video recorder or something?" Jiang Chen always felt very awkward when he listened to Xia Mai's words.

"Of course, keep up with the times. After all, there are still a few Taoist friends who like to talk about the gods and gods and live in seclusion, and most of them also enjoy the charm of science and technology to change their lives!" After that, he took out his mobile phone and opened the interface of WeChat Moments and stuffed it into his hand: "You see, those who sell big swords, those who import overseas spell sticks, those who smuggle thousand-year-old beast eggs, and those who sell literary toys, what kind of spirit honey wax, purify Bodhi seeds......"

Jiang Chen took it curiously, flipped it down, and saw a photo with rolling thunder in the background, and a half-cokered old man lying on the ground, with a paragraph next to it: "Help me up, I can survive the catastrophe again!"

Belch...... Scrolling down, there is a man and a woman, who look to be of similar age. The man was held by the woman, and he also held a certificate in his hand, with the text of the picture: "My baby has been refined fourfold, proud of you!"

"Don't get me wrong, that's Zhang Xiangu and her grandson. Xia Mai glanced at him and explained casually.

Jiang Chen: "......"

Further down ...... is a young lady with a particularly good-looking avatar, and she sent nine pictures in a row, which seems to be a bit like a balance-shaped ornament at all angles, with the text: "Today is the 80th anniversary of my second brother and I together, and my brother gave me a handmade Sanqing bell by the emperor wizard!

......

Well...... Jiang Chen wiped the cold sweat that was invisible on his forehead. It seems like...... The lives of these immortals and Taoists, in addition to looking like a little bit in the middle, are not much different from mortals, and there are even micro-businesses showing their affection or something, which is completely different from the image of the immortals who have seen through the vicissitudes of the world written between the eyebrows and eyes of the seven emotions and six desires!

After returning the mobile phone to Xia Mai, Jiang Chen kept a question lingering in his heart: "Cultivators, what kind of people are they?"

Jiang Chen may not have realized that at this time, deep down in his heart, he had already sprouted a deep curiosity and desire to explore this unknown world, but the answer to this question was probably only for him to find it slowly.

"Where are you going next?" Jiang Chen asked Xia Mai.

"The booklet I just gave you contains a list of things to keep in it. ”

I took out the bag that Xia Mai handed over just now, took out the booklet I received at the information meeting, and sure enough, I saw a page that read, "Recommended List of Necessary Stationery for Admission (Sponsored by Tianzheng Stationery)".

"Most of these can be bought at the Treasure Vault...... There's a catch, though. Jiang Chen always felt that Xia Mai was smiling with bad intentions.

"The question is, do you have enough pocket money? After all, some magic weapons are not cheap. ”

I saw that the list read:

A three-element three-in-one comprehensive compass

A pair of space rings

A canopy bucket lamp

A number of bronze coins (introductory suggestion: Qianlong Tongbao)

A canopy ruler

Draw a number of rune papers

Lingbao pen one

A bronze tiger talisman

......

......

"This ...... The list is not short. Jiang Chen didn't know the bottom of his heart, although because of his family background, his pocket money was more generous than that of his peers, but just by looking at the name, he could feel a kind of aura that was hard to buy, and he was not confident in the little thing in his wallet.

"What if I can't afford it?" he expressed his worries very bluntly.

"Hmm...... It's best to buy them all, after all, most of them are things that are needed in class. However, the price is okay, because they are all primary magic weapons, and they are not particularly expensive. If you really can't get it all together, I'll go to the family treasury and get two for you. Xia Mai's intimacy and care for his predecessors at this moment brought tears to Jiang Chen's heart, and he only heard the girl continue: "Actually, you can also go to a certain treasure to Tao, there are also many privately made magic weapons on it, which are cheap and easy to use." ”

After a pause, he added: "But there are quite a lot of fakes, it is said that the famous Elder Ziche once bought a huge amount of inferior dome flags, and almost didn't burn the wild ghosts when he accumulated merit...... Angry that Elder Ziche ...... the seller's hand on the spot."

Jiang Chen felt that he really couldn't accept this, so he could only say dryly: "Otherwise, let's take a look first...... A brick-and-mortar store?"

Xia Mai smiled and led the way in front: "Don't worry, there is the only cooperative national chain store of Boyang College in the treasure building, and you can get a 20% discount with your student ID......"

Jiang Chen only felt that one moment ago, he thought that he was going to join the ranks of the ethereal masters outside the world, and the next moment he instantly became a middle-aged aunt who went to the market to buy vegetables and bargained, so he tried his best to maintain a peaceful facial expression and entered the treasure building with the girl next to him.
