22. Morning bells and evening drums, morning and evening and evening

There are two towers in the college, one at the front gate and one in the backyard.

The tower at the front gate is the bell tower, and the tower in the back yard is the drum tower.

The bell is called the morning bell, and it rings in the early morning, dawn, and sunrise.

The drum is called the twilight drum, the sunset hammer, the moonrise hammer, the star hammer, and the candle extinguishing hammer.

The so-called morning bell and dusk drum are probably to warn students to be persistent and persistent, and not to go to three or four at dusk!

"When~" The morning bell struck the third time, and the grass monk looked at the rising sun that jumped out of the horizon in the distance, and his heart was extremely bright. Although the blind teacher used the excuse of "how can a monk not hit the bell!", he sent a bell tower, but it was much better than the little junior brother going to the backyard to play drums. At least on my side, I can also see the sunset that wakes up in the morning and the students who can't wake up, and in the backyard except for the noisy chirping and the white-eyed old man chattering, there is only the gloomy "big treasure" left. Besides, in the morning and evening, don't you knock less than the little junior brother!

Monk Xiaocao thought so, but the work in his hand did not fall. It has been more than a month since the academy opened, and during the day, the monk Xiaocao either annotated the scriptures in the Shenyu Mansion, or went to the Furui Pavilion to listen to the teachings of the mind, but the blind teacher's lecture on Xi Wei has not started for a long time, and I heard that it seems that something has been lost in the "Great Collection", and his cheap master is busy tracking down the traces! However, it just so happens that Xiaocao does not want to see the blind man, because as soon as they meet, Xiaocao will respectfully shout to the master. Looking at the blind man's dignified appearance, smiling at the corners of his mouth, and the villain with a dark heart in his heart, Monk Xiaocao had to recite "Amitabha" several times to suppress the swear words that were about to reach his mouth.

Putting the food on the table and filling it with a bowl of rice, the grass monk lay on the railing and shouted downstairs, "Mother-in-law, the food is ready!"

Below the bell tower is the gatehouse of the academy, and the cold-faced old woman who lives in it is the only neighbor of the monk Xiaocao. The blind master, who is accustomed to his hippie smile, once rarely and seriously explained that he must make meals every day to honor this white-haired mother-in-law. Although Monk Xiaocao didn't know the inside story, he also felt that this old woman was definitely not an ordinary person, so he tried his best to shake his skills. No, the three dishes and one soup on the table today, even if the old monk with a bad mouth and the blind teacher with a cheap mouth, Xiaocao has the confidence to seal their tongues.

The white-haired old woman went upstairs and sat down, silently with cold noodles, just picking up vegetables and rice, chewing slowly and eating carefully.

Monk Xiaocao snickered in his heart, "Hehe, smell the vegetables in my hand, the Buddha is going to come down to the lotus!"

"No, I am a little sword girl, hurry up and make some food to eat, um? No, it's so fragrant! You're done? You are worthy of being the eldest apprentice of the son, and the son can be taught!" The crisp girl came from downstairs, and then hurried upstairs.

Xiaocao smiled bitterly, calling herself indiscriminate, except for the bad little master, there is only the rogue little maid next to the bad little master!

After a while, the two of them came up from the staircase, and the little blushing in front of them was not the wind chimes, and the Xi Chao behind her smiled gently.

"Ah, Granny Bai is also there!" Seeing the cold-faced old woman, Feng Chime was surprised

"Well, little apple, let's eat again!" The old woman, who is usually silent, smiled and flirted at this time, obviously very fond of wind chimes.

"Mother-in-law, don't blame it! Ling'er is used to messing around, we are here to find Xiaocao, and we are going to go to the 'Five Organs Temple' together and have a small gathering with some classmates!" replied Xi Chao

But the strange thing is that the white mother-in-law, who treats the wind chimes very kindly, does not look at the cherished dynasty with her eyes open, and it seems that she is very unwelcome.

Xi Chao was a little embarrassed, and the little monk hurriedly came to relieve the siege and asked, "Go to the second junior brother?" I'll be exempted, there are still some scriptures in Shenyu Mansion that need to be translated today. ”

After all, she was still hungry for the little monk's food, so she said half-truthfully, "Xiaocao, you are the eldest apprentice of the son!" Our son is in the Taiqing Palace, but you beat the princess and prince of the island country to the ground, and you can't fall into prestige! I praise you in front of Qiongzi for the unparalleled food in the world, but people don't believe it! Say that the food in her hometown is the originator of light and vegetarian brocade, and it is definitely 10,000 times better than Xiaocao's food, so we agreed, go' Borrow a kitchen from the Five Organs Temple, and then invite the little monk to cook a meal for everyone, eat it, and taste it. Little monk, you can't go away!" Feng Chime followed the temptation, and finally blinked his eyes again, and popped out a mantra of his own son, "I am very optimistic about you!"

"Qiongzi is also going?" The little monk didn't pay attention to the others, but he heard the word Qiongzi very clearly, so he hurriedly asked, and only after asking did he feel embarrassed

"Hehe!" Xi Chao covered his mouth and smiled, "Don't listen to Ling'er make it up, it's just that there is no class today, and a few good classmates will get together!

"This~this, I~ or ~no~" The little monk was still embarrassed

"Long-winded, very clear little monk, why do you learn such a woman's deep thoughts! Get out!" The cold-faced old woman suddenly became angry, scolding the little monk, but her eyes were staring at Xi Chao.

Her face was flushed, and her tears swirled a little

"Granny Bai, why do you pity Sister Chao again! If you do this again, I will ignore you!"

"Alas, so are you, and so is the little master, well, I won't say any more!" the old woman sighed, bowed her head and continued to eat her food.

"That~coughcough~ Regret the dynasty, Ling'er, let's go to the 'Five Organs Temple'! My scriptures, it's not too late to translate them in the evening!" Feeling that the atmosphere was weird, and with the careful thought of wanting to see someone, Monk Xiaocao hurriedly agreed to go with him.

So, a group of three people got off the bell tower and walked towards the smoke curling in the west of the courtyard.

On the way, Xiaocao quietly asked Ling'er, "Granny Bai doesn't seem to like the dynasty very much?"

Ling'er sighed, "Mother-in-law said that Sister Chao's soul is pink!"

"Pink?What does this mean?In addition, the white granny can see people's spirits, isn't it~"

Before the little monk was finished, Feng Chi'er shook her head in annoyance and said, "How do I know what to say! Forget it, don't say it, let Sister Xi Chao hear, she will be sad again! Granny Bai is really the only strange person who doesn't like Sister Xichao!"

Hearing this, the little monk had no choice but to stop. But he was still muttering in his heart, thinking about it, his eyes lit up, "Pink spirit, heh, Yang God!"

After all, the academy was very large, and the three of them walked for a while before they saw a row of red mud adobe houses, the houses were low, but the chimneys on the roofs were thick and high, and white smoke was emitting at this time. These adobe houses form a semicircle, surrounded by a small courtyard, and a plaque is hung at the entrance of the courtyard, on which are three words obliquely crooked: Five Organs Temple.

At this time, the small courtyard was already full of people around the wooden table, and the little monk shook his head, and the first thing he saw was of course Qiongzi, and then the second prince Bai Qianyu next to her. The tail leaf was wrapped around the cold-faced Bai Shaoxian, who was giggling, and the princess in front of Bai Shaoxian was staring at the cramped Sun Pingshan, and seemed to be interested in her little junior brother again. In addition, there are several other fresh faces, among which the conspicuous one is a young man with a sword with high cheekbones.

"Senior brother, woo, you're finally here! If you don't come again, they'll roast me and eat it!" ran out of the door directly opposite, a round and black ball of meat, and after a closer look, he found that it was Qi Manfu, who was smoky and burning, and saw that his left cuff had been burned into a horse's eye, and the boot on his right foot was still sparkling, and from time to time it burned the flesh, and there was a miserable howl.

Xiaocao bowed his forehead, needless to say, this must be the masterpiece of the little devil Bai Qiyue.

Qi Manfu crawled and hid behind his senior brother, and finally had some confidence, stretched out his head and shouted, "My senior brother is here, wait a minute, don't break the chopsticks, bite the skin of your mouth, and chew your tongue~~"

I wanted to be verbose again, but I found that the bald senior brother in front of me had already bowed to everyone, and then raised his feet and walked to the kitchen, Qi Manfu was still stunned, but when he saw the smile on the corner of Bai Qiyue's mouth, he couldn't help but shudder, and while running into the house, he shouted, "Senior brother, I'll burn the fire for you!" After speaking, he didn't forget to rescue the little junior brother, "Xiaoshanzi, quickly bring some firewood, sit there idlely, and see if your two senior brothers are busy?" Let me sit next to the little princess, why don't you go to the fire and roast it!"

"These are the three tall feet of the little master?" asked the young man with a sword, who was tall and broad-headed, and was actually superior to all the princes and princesses, sitting in the first place. The high cheekbones make the eyes and cheeks seem to be nested in, and the nose is flanked by deep groove-like nasolabial folds, giving people a cloudy face.

"Senior Diao, that's exactly the case!" The one who replied was the prince Qianyu, and his tone was actually very respectful, after all, Diao Yi is the current Wu Kui of the De Mu Society! Wu Kui is different from the head of the school, although the academy also teaches martial arts, but it is more of a responsibility to cultivate the talents of generals, so the head of the school is generally also a person who is immersed in the way of the military. But since he is a martial artist, he must also take the personal force test, and Wu Kui is the title of the strongest force in the Demu Society.

Bai Shaoxian stared at Diao Yi, his eyes fiery.

Diao Yi's nose twitched, as if he was smiling, and then raised his glass to Bai Shaoxian, "Senior Brother Bai, your physique is already above me, but your essence and divine sense are too different, so I am too bad." Let's listen to the little master's talk first!"

Bai Qiyue tugged at the corner of the ugly tiger's clothes under the table, pulled his gaze back, and then said with a smile, "But why hasn't the little master's Xiwei lecture started classes yet? It's been a month since the school started!"

Diao Yi sighed, "Alas! 'Da Zang' is eating people! The little master has to deal with it! It is estimated that it will take another three or five days to free up!"

"Cannibalism?" Bai Qiyue was taken aback, "Isn't Dazang the library of the academy? a dead thing, cannibalism? What are you kidding!"

"The little princess doesn't believe it, so you might as well go and take a look at it later! But you can't get into the big treasure, it's okay to look at it from a distance!" Diao was silent, and a female student beside him smiled and said excitedly.

"Just go, I'm going to see how weird Dazang, one of the forbidden places of the academy, is!hum~~"

Bai Qiyue wanted to make another bold statement, but he was hooked by a burst of fragrance, and couldn't help but praise, "It's so fragrant!"

"Hehe, I'm not boasting, right! My son-in-law's eldest apprentice, a small grass monk, is definitely a good cook!" Wind Chime triumphantly and then looked at the kitchen door.

"Come on~~" Qi Manfu walked out quickly with a plate of vegetables, and suddenly his toes tripped on the threshold, and a plate of fragrant vegetables spread out in the air.

"Ah~~" Everyone lamented!

"Don't!" the wind chimes roared even more!

But I saw that the sleeves of the robe flickered, a long sword with a wooden scabbard, horizontal in the air, the hilt of the sword was held in Diao Yi's slender and smooth hand, but the tip of the sword caught the falling dish steadily, and not a drop of soup and water in it was spilled.

"What realm have you reached?" Bai Shaoxian asked in a low voice as he stared at Diao Yi

Diao Yi looked back at Bai Shaoxian boredly, and his gloomy face also showed a hint of helplessness, and then replied, "I said, young man, here and now, the top priority is to eat and drink, what realm level, boring isn't it?"

In a word, Bai Shaoxian was stunned, everyone held back their laughter, but Diao Yi took the opportunity to pick up chopsticks and eat.

Fortunately, there is also our daring sword little woman, and the wind chimes are not to be outdone!
