Chapter 15: Disciples of the Outer Court (2) (Asking for Recommendations, Collections, and Monthly Passes)
On the way to the miscellaneous building, the girl with a long knife in her hand was also looking at Xu Shan with shocked eyes.
"It turns out that you were recommended by Wang Tou'er, no wonder you went directly to 'Xuanyi'!"
She was wearing the same style of martial arts clothes as those people just now, her long black hair tied with a headband hung down behind her head, her eyebrows were curved, her eyes were big and round, her nose and lips were one meter six or seven, her skin was fair, her chest was full, her body was neither fat nor thin, and her length was really good.
Xu Shan asked: "Is 'Xuanyi' very special? ”
"Special! It's special! The girl nodded like a chicken: "There are only disciples of the Boiling Blood Realm and people personally arranged by Wang Tou'er to live in it directly!" ”
Xu Shan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but say, "Isn't the outer courtyard only in the Boiling Blood Realm that can enter?" ”
"Huh? Is there such a rule? As long as you have a letter of recommendation, plus pay a sum of good silver, you can enter the hospital to practice, and it will only be three hundred taels of silver a year......"
Xu Shan looked at her blankly, it turns out that this place also has the ability to use money?
The girl hesitated: "You ......"
"My name is Xu Shan, and I am a martial arts academy student who has been practicing for a year."
"Senior Brother Xu!" The girl suddenly said, "It turns out that you are from a student!" No wonder you don't know this! My name is Liu Yiweaving, and my family runs a restaurant, and as long as there are shops in the city with the word 'Liu family', my family is open. ”
"The Liu family?" Xu Shan couldn't help but think of the inn where he took a bath just now, it seemed to be the Liu family or something......
"Senior Sister Liu, you say it's no wonder I don't know this, what do you mean?"
"The cadet camp outside the city is not opened by the Martial Academy!" Liu Yizhi said calmly: "I heard my father say that the student camp was proposed by Wang Tou'er, and he asked Zhu County to take the lead, and he also came to my house to raise funds at that time!" So in fact, it should be under the control of the king! I've always heard that it's very strict, and if you can't become boiling blood within a year, you won't teach, but my father also said that anyone who is recommended by Wang Tou'er to come to the martial arts academy is quite a powerful master! It's no wonder that you went directly to 'Xuanyi', it turned out that you were boiling blood. ”
Xu Shan somewhat understood.
Is the co-authoring camp a talent training and selection base built by the county government itself?
It's pretty good, at least give those of them those who can't afford to pay the tuition fee of three hundred taels a year a chance to work hard.
Wang Tou'er is a good man.
He froze and continued, "So 'Xuanyi' is where the disciples of the Boiling Blood Realm live? ”
'yes!' Xuanyi's near the mass grave in the southern suburbs, there is often treacherous spirits there, how can he survive without some strength? Liu Yizhi replied: "Wang Tou'er said that those who can only practice martial arts are likely to become fools who only know a thing, and they must grow up in actual combat, huh?" Senior Brother Xu, what's wrong with you? The face is so white! ”
Xu Shan turned to look at Wu Shan in the distance, and muttered, "But I just came, and I don't know anything, shouldn't I live in another dormitory for a while?" It's better to give a newbie protection period...... Is it okay not to go to 'Xuanyi'? ”
Liu Yizhi looked at him suspiciously: "Strange, 'Xuanyi' is such a good place, don't you want to go?" ”
"Where's that place?"
"It's dangerous, but it's strong! It's much more exciting than staying in the martial arts courtyard! We can't go if we want to! Wang Tou'er is really good to you......" Liu Yiori muttered in his mouth, with a pity in his eyes that "you don't know how to be blessed in the midst of blessings".
Xu Shan was silent, and wanted to run back to the county government immediately, and dance a song for Wang Tou'er on the spot to listen to me thank you.
"Senior Brother Xu? Senior Brother Xu? Hey, Senior Brother Xu! ”
Xu Shan came back to his senses, looked at Liu Yizhi, whose cheeks were bulging, and hurriedly said, "I'm listening." ”
Liu Yiori cut a sound, flicked his ponytail, and looked ahead: "I just want to tell you!" The martial arts academy has morning classes every day, rests at noon, and is dissolved when it is not time to Shen, and is dissolved when you have miscellaneous things in life, you can go to the miscellaneous building and a half, the front is the canteen, and then the front is the library......"
Xu Shan nodded as she listened, watched, and wrote down every word she said.
Yanagi didn't stop talking, basically talking about the entire outer courtyard, and at the end, she asked, "Do you have any questions?" ”
Xu Shan looked at the knife in her hand and thought for a while: "What do you have to learn in morning class and afternoon class?" I'm new here, will I not be able to keep up? ”
"Fist, leg technique, knife technique, swordsmanship, ......" Liu Yizhi counted with his fingers: "These are the contents of the afternoon class, the morning class generally only practices the "Great True Refining Body Technique", as for the progress, don't worry, not only you are new, the eldest lady of the Liu family also just arrived yesterday, and you should be able to become classmates by then......"
"Wait a minute......" After she finished speaking, the question in Xu Shan's heart popped up again: "I can probably understand the fist, leg technique, knife technique, and sword technique, but what is the Great True Body Refining Technique?" ”
Yanagi also glanced at him in surprise:
"It's the exercises! Those of us who practice martial arts, if we don't have a good practice, how can we get a glimpse of the way of martial arts? "Dazhen Body Refining Technique" is the alchemy technique in the army, and it is also the only way for our martial arts academy to enter and polish the body, compiled by the Great General's Mansion, from "boiling blood" to "quenching the intestines", it has to rely on it! That's a real baby! It can only be taught orally! Whoever dares to teach it privately will be on death row! ”
Xu Shan was stunned when he heard this, and his heartbeat was pounding and accelerating.
Good guy, do you have a practice practice? It's amazing, it's amazing.
"What else would you like to ask?"
"Senior Sister Liu, isn't the eldest lady of the Liu family you just talked about?"
"How could it be me!" Liu Yizhi rolled her eyes: "I'm just the daughter of the restaurant owner!" Where do you dare to call what the eldest lady is? The eldest lady of the Liu family is talking about Liu Yuezi, she is the daughter of Liu Dashanren! ”
"What does she do at home?"
"Open the bank!"
"Oh, no wonder ......"
At this time, Liu Yizhi suddenly raised his hand, pointed to the front, and whispered: "The miscellaneous building has arrived!" I can tell you, the Qiu steward inside is very greedy, and the last time my father sent me here, he asked my father for a lot of food coupons! But you were recommended by Wang Tou'er, so he shouldn't dare to ask you for food coupons......"
Xu Shan nodded silently, he didn't open a restaurant, and he had to have it if he wanted it.
The two walked in one after the other.
The Miscellaneous Building is a small three-story wooden building, the first floor is very spacious, much like the lobby of a hotel, there is a row of counters in it, and behind the counters are sitting people, some people are burying their heads in crackling abacus, and some people are busy sorting out books.
Yanagiori led him towards the only person sitting behind the counter drinking tea.
The other glanced at them, but still drank their tea.
"Steward Qiu, this is the new Senior Brother Xu, who came to register his identity!"
Xu Shan glanced at it without a trace, this Qiu steward had small eyes, two mustaches, a white face and a fat body, and his big belly was suffocating under his clothes, and he couldn't hide it at all.
Steward Qiu slowly put down the tea bowl, his eyes rolled on Liu Yizhi, and his voice was high and low: "New disciple? Whose letter of recommendation is it? ”
He wasn't looking at Xu Shan at all, but he should have asked him.
Xu Shan raised the letter in his hand: "Yes, the head of the county government." ”
Hearing this name, this Qiu steward immediately moved his gaze from Liu Yizhi's chest and face, and layers of smiles appeared on his fat and greasy face: "Oops! It was Wang Tou'er who personally recommended the handsome man! Tsk, it's really a talent! I'm really blessed in Anling County! Blessed ...... great."
He talked endlessly, took out a notebook from under the counter with his right hand, stood up, and was very enthusiastic: "This talent, take the trouble to make a registration...... What's your last name? ”
"Don't have your surname Xu, Xu Shan, the student is from ......"
The registration process is incredibly simple.
After the Qiu steward wrote his name in the booklet, and wrote the words "recommended by Wang Zhutou" on the back column, it was finished.
He didn't even look at the letter he was holding.
After registering, Steward Qiu was very enthusiastic and took him to receive the things of the disciples of the outer courtyard: three sets of practice clothes, three pairs of boots, the vouchers of the disciples of the outer court, and a few books...... In short, I got a lot of things.
Xu Shan couldn't take it, so he had to ask Liu Yizhi to help get some.
After these chores were dealt with, Liu Yizhi suddenly said: "Steward Qiu, Wang Tou'er arranged for him to live in 'Xuanyi'." ”
"I know, I know, 'Xuanyi' is so wow!" Steward Qiu said with a smile undiminished
Liu Yizhi was stunned for a moment and said, "Oh, then we'll go." ”
Xu Shan also turned around.
Steward Qiu warmly escorted them to the door, and when they left, the smile on their faces suddenly disappeared.
He sat back in his chair, glanced at the word "Xu Shan", snorted, and threw the booklet back under the cabinet.
Xu Shan and Liu Yizhi naturally didn't know about this scene, and they were now walking outside the martial arts courtyard.
"Senior Sister Liu, if you want to go further in martial arts, can you only fight with strange spirits?"
"Of course not! The teacher said that fighting with strange spirits is crazy...... It is the path set by Wang Tou'er, but as long as you work hard to cultivate the exercises and eat more foreign beast meat, you can also improve! If you have confidence in your family, you can also buy qi and blood pills and buy all kinds of heavenly and earthly treasures, which can improve the realm of martial arts......"
Liu Yizhi said seriously, but when he talked about the back, he couldn't help but complain: "But the Qi and Blood Pill is so expensive, and the one with a better condition will cost thousands of taels of silver!" And that thing is so unpalatable, it smells of blood...... As for those heavenly and earthly treasures that are beneficial to martial arts, they are even more expensive! Half a year ago, Shanbaotang auctioned a blood ginseng that was only 30 years old, and it was sold for more than 4,000 taels of silver! Therefore, Senior Sister, I still advise you to practice the exercises in a down-to-earth manner, and there is hope for you to quench your heart......"
Xu Shan nodded silently.
He now has more than thirty taels of silver on him, and the Qi and Blood Pill and any heavenly and earthly treasures are completely extravagant.
