"This brother, who is in Shen Lang, came to the Taoist Academy to practice."

Shen Lang led the horse, walked up to the four-grade true qi realm guard, and greeted him with a smile.

The white-bearded middle-aged man sat lazily on the chair, without lifting his eyelids, only focusing on his nails, and said in a feminine and delicate voice that reminded people of some kind of rootless person:

"Credentials."

Shen Lang took out a jade talisman carved from white jade, shaped like a small sword, and engraved with Lingzhi cloud patterns:

"This is the certificate below, the sword talisman token given by the real person of Wanfa. Brother, do you check it? ”

"A token of the true man?"

The middle-aged man was slightly stunned, stood up, shook off the broken nails on his clothes, took the sword-shaped jade talisman with both hands, his fingertips bloomed with true qi, and lightly touched the jade talisman, and there were clouds steaming up, forming a small Ganoderma lucidum-shaped colorful auspicious cloud.

"Sure enough, it's a token of the real people of Wanfa."

The middle-aged man nodded, and finally looked at Shen Lang squarely, and after seeing his facial features clearly, he was suddenly slightly stunned, and a very faint different color flashed in the depths of his eyes.

There was no emotion on his face, he returned the jade talisman to Shen Lang, and said lightly:

"What's your name?"

Shen Lang, who had already reported his name once just now, was not annoyed, and replied with a smile:

"Shen Lang. The Divine Capture Hall is ready to catch fast. ”

Shen Lang...... Shen Lang of the Divine Capture Hall......"

The middle-aged man nodded and said:

"Wait here."

After saying that, he walked into the corner door under the gate.

Looking at the middle-aged man's back, Shen Lang's eyes narrowed slightly, and a deep meaning flashed in the depths of his eyes.

After leading the horse and waiting at the door for a while, the middle-aged man with a white face and a soft voice came out of the corner gate with a young man wearing a blue cloud robe and combing a bun.

The young man looked like he was twenty-four or five, with an ordinary appearance and a warm smile on his face, which at first glance gave people the feeling of a good gentleman.

"Senior Brother Shen!"

As soon as the young man saw Shen Lang, he smiled and arched his hand to him, and greeted him warmly:

"Brother Zhou Shicheng, is a student of the Taoist Academy, has been practicing in the Taoist Academy for seven years, and since this year, he has been a part-time miscellaneous deacon in the Taoist Academy, responsible for receiving and guiding new students. Come with me, and I will take my brother to go through all the formalities. ”

Shen Lang smiled slightly, and waved his hand at Zhou Shicheng:

"So, thank you Senior Brother Zhou."

Zhou Shicheng smiled heartily:

"Senior Brother Shen, don't be polite. Entering the Taoist Academy, regardless of their origins, they are all brothers in the same sect. By the way, you can't bring your horse in. It can be placed in foster care by Deacon Liao. ”

The white-faced middle-aged man smiled and said:

"The small surname is Liao, a single name, and he is also a miscellaneous deacon of the Taoist Academy, responsible for guarding the gate of the Taoist Academy."

Shen Lang waved his hand again:

"It turned out to be Deacon Liao, disrespectful and disrespectful."

Liao Xun said:

"Brother Shen, don't worry about giving the horse to us for foster care. Our Taoist Institute has a horse farm, and the mounts brought by the students are fostered in the horse farm. You don't have to pay the fee for the time being, and you will settle it at the end of the year. ”

Shen Lang handed the reins to Liao Xun, "Then there will be Deacon Lao Liao." ”

After that, he followed Zhou Shicheng into the corner gate, passed through a narrow doorway, and the front suddenly opened up, and he had officially entered the Taoist courtyard.

The capital is very expensive, and the housing prices are high, but the Imperial Capital Daoyuan is extremely extravagant in terms of land use, and the interior is actually a garden pattern, with hills, mountains, gardens, lakes, and a small river with nine bends and eighteen bends, and above the river, there are various bridges such as stone arch bridges, wooden frame bridges, and rope suspension bridges.

All kinds of antique small buildings, pavilions, halls, and towers are hidden in the garden or stand on the hills. Some of the towers were even built in the middle of the lake, and even half of the towers were not under the surface of the lake.

Zhou Shicheng was enthusiastically introducing Shen Lang all the way, what is the name of this garden, what are the allusions to that small lake, what is the lonely white tower on the hill over there, and which predecessor built the stone bridge...... Let Shen Lang have a general understanding of the internal pattern of the Daoist Academy.

"There aren't many people in our courtyard. The total number of students in the eight classes of the Quandao Academy is less than 10,000. The entire Taoist Academy, plus professors, guards, miscellaneous servants, etc., has a total number of less than 20,000.

"Our Taoist Academy has a large territory, and few students like to go out and walk around, most of the time, they are either meditating and contemplating, or they are contemplating spells, or they are refining weapons, alchemy, and making talismans......

"Anyway, when you walk outside, you don't see a single figure for most of the day, it's normal. When you officially start cultivating, you may be like other senior brothers and sisters, who only hate that you have too little time every day, and you don't have the slightest mind to wander around. It's just a pity that these beautiful scenery in the temple ......"

When introducing these situations, Zhou Shicheng also seemed to casually intersperse a few questions about Shen Lang's origin.

Hearing Shen Lang say that he was from Yingzhou, Zhou Shicheng's eyes flashed with a touch of determination, and his smile became more enthusiastic. After that, he took Shen Lang to go through all the formalities, and only after sending him into the dormitory did he say goodbye and leave.

Shen Lang stood at the door, watching the overly enthusiastic Senior Brother Zhou leave, touching his chin with his hand, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

……

Zhou Shicheng returned to the gate of the Taoist courtyard and entered a small room next to the corner gate.

This hut is about the gatehouse of the Taoist Academy, and Liao Xun rests in this hut when he is on duty on weekdays.

When Zhou Shicheng came in, Liao Xun was walking around the house with his hands behind his back. Seeing him come in, Liao Xun hurriedly greeted him, and asked in a low voice:

"Are you sure?"

Zhou Shicheng nodded, and also lowered his voice and said:

"It's confirmed, Yingzhou people, it's him!"

"Great!" Liao Xun slapped his face, and smiled: "This kid's head is worth 100,000 silver dollars, if you kill him, we will make a windfall!" ”

Zhou Shicheng's eyes also showed excitement, but he quickly frowned and hesitated:

But he came with Wanfa Zhenren's handwritten letter and tokens, what is his relationship with Wanfa Zhenren and even Yan Tianying? After the matter is completed, what if Wanfa Zhenren and Yan Tianying chase after each other?

"With the means of those two people, even if we do things seamlessly, we may not be able to hide it all the time."

The corners of Liao Xun's eyes twitched slightly, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"Afraid of what? At the beginning, our family made a little mistake in the palace, was caught by someone, and was not driven out of the capital after scattering all the family wealth, but we were still driven to the Taoist courtyard to see the gate. With this windfall, our family will have the money to go up and down, and then go back to the palace to do things. After returning to the palace, are you still afraid of Yan Tianying and Wanfa Zhenren?

"And Xiao Zhou, with this money, you can stay in the Taoist Academy and concentrate on cultivation all the time, and you don't have to worry about money for at least five years. Now the Taoist Academy is a real person, and Bailong Zhenren is also a deputy of the Academy. With these two great gods here, can Yan Tianying and Wanfa Zhenren still break into the Daoist Academy and arrest you?

"As for five years later, hehe, you are now a seventh-grade cultivator, with this windfall support, it is possible to be promoted to sixth-grade in five years, or even fifth-grade. When the time comes, you will directly vote under the Bailong real person or Qiankun real person, won't you sit back and relax? ”

Zhou Shicheng's expression changed, and he paced back and forth with his hands behind his back for a while before he gritted his teeth and said:

"Okay, I've made the deal! Father-in-law Liao, the reward order said that Shen Lang's martial arts are not weak, what kind of cultivation is he? ”

Father-in-law Liao smiled disdainfully:

"Look at his body and steps, listen to the rhythm of his breathing, and look at the light in his eyes, there should be six grades of martial arts. I can't see how deep the internal force is, so I have to give it a try. However, even if his internal strength is pure and profound, the realm of only six grades is not worth mentioning at all.

"Besides, he wants to cultivate the Dao now, hey, where in the world can anyone who can double cultivate law and martial arts? The so-called 'a cultivation technique is as deep as the sea, and from now on martial arts are waste materials', once he starts to cultivate Taoism, he will no longer have any time to cultivate internal strength and practice martial arts. A body of martial arts will only keep regressing.

"In short, his martial arts mean nothing. It's his Taoist cultivation...... You'll have to keep an eye on it, and it's best to find out which Dao techniques he has cultivated. ”

Zhou Shicheng smiled:

"Don't worry, he has just entered the Taoist Academy, even if he has some foundation, he will be able to know a few nine-grade spells, which is not worth mentioning."

Gonggong Liao said in a deep voice:

"It's better to be careful, after all, it was recommended by Wanfa Zhenren, God knows if there will be any powerful treasures on him."

Zhou Shicheng nodded:

"I know, I'll look closer."

Liao Xun said again:

"I know a killer named Ding Hao, a martial arts five-grade, good at swordsmanship, ruthless, and dare to earn any money. When the time comes, we'll take him along. ”

Zhou Shicheng frowned and said:

"The bonus of 100,000 silver dollars, the profit between the two of us is just right. More ...... with the surname Ding"

Father-in-law Liao smiled ruthlessly:

"Don't worry, the person surnamed Ding won't be paid. Let's hand over the fatal blow to the person surnamed Ding, and let the person surnamed Ding carry Shen Shiwan's head to receive the bonus. Afterwards, kill the surnamed Ding, destroy the corpse, and snatch the money.

In this way, even if Wanfa Zhenren and Yan Tianying are investigated, they will only find out the head of the surname Ding first. And the surname Ding is dead, the body is gone, and most of the clues will be cut off immediately......"

Zhou Shicheng's eyes lit up and he gave a thumbs up:

"My father-in-law is worthy of being a character who has done things in the palace, and he is really thoughtful! This matter will be done according to what my father-in-law said! ”

At that moment, the two discussed for a while, Zhou Shicheng returned to the Taoist Academy, ready to try to find out the secrets of Shen Lang's cultivation, and Liao Yuan also found someone to guard the gate for the shift, and went to find the killer named Ding Hao.

When the two were conspiring, Shen Lang was tidying up the dormitory.

Taoist practice is a very private matter, so the dormitories of the students of the Taoist Academy are all single-room and single-room courtyards.

Of course, even if they are all single-room houses, the living environment is different.

Some courtyards are smaller, with simple facilities and compact layouts, and share a courtyard wall with their neighbors.

Some yards are larger, more well-equipped, and a little further away from their neighbors.

What kind of yard you can live in depends on the student's financial resources and background.

Rich people can spend money to rent a better yard, and those with a background can live in a better yard.

Shen Lang's background is hard enough, and his financial resources are acceptable, and he lives in a good single-room courtyard, and there is not only an underground secret room for retreat in the main house, but also an alchemy room.

Although the Dan furnace is only the lowest-grade product, it is at least enough to practice your hands. It's just that you have to spend your own money to buy alchemy materials.

In other words, in this imperial capital Daoyuan, no matter what you do, it costs money.

Zhou Shicheng said in his introduction before that the courses of the professors of the Taoist Academy have to be purchased with money.

You have to pay the money to go to the lecture. If you pay for one class, you can only listen to one class, and you will not be able to pay any credit.

Of course, if you really don't have the money to attend the lectures, you can also recommend yourself to the professors as assistants, take some risks to cooperate with the professors' practice experiments, or complete some tasks issued by the professors, earn contributions, and then use the contributions to exchange for class hours.

You can also go to the Taoist "Tibetan Scripture Hall" for self-study.

Ten silver dollars a day, all the books in the Tibetan Scripture Hall are read at will, in case you see exhaustion, exhaustion, and bleeding from the seven orifices, the Zangjing Hall also provides rescue and treatment services, you can enjoy the service first, and then pay the bills.

Zhou Shicheng also sighed at the time:

Ten silver dollars a day, it seems to be a good deal, after all, you can look through all the Taoist secret books at will, but it is actually a sinkhole.

It takes an average of a month for the students of the Taoist Academy to learn a nine-rank spell. The eight-rank spell took longer.

If you spend money to study by yourself in the Tibetan Scripture Hall, it is equivalent to spending at least three hundred silver dollars to learn a nine-grade spell, which is simply a loss.

As for high-grade spells, if the cultivation is not enough, and you forcibly read it, then you can enjoy the rescue treatment services provided by the Tibetan Scripture Hall after looking at it for a while.

It is said that every year, a large number of newly enrolled students of the Taoist Academy are pitted by the Tibetan Scripture Palace. There are a large number of students who enjoy rescue treatment services.

After introducing the pits in the Tibetan scripture hall, Zhou Shicheng sighed again:

If you are a peerless genius, it is still very cost-effective to go to the Tibetan Scripture Hall to read books.

For example, on the first day of the current Taoist Academy, the "Little Heavenly Master" Lian Yunxiao learned the first nine-grade spell in only seven days. After his first successful experience, he practiced the Nine Rank Spells faster and faster, and all the Nine Rank Spells after that took no more than five days on average.

For peerless geniuses like the "Little Heavenly Master" Lian Yunxiao, the Hidden Scripture Hall is really an excellent treasure trove.

It is said that in the first year of entering the Taoist Academy, Lian Yunxiao soaked in the Tibetan Scripture Hall almost every day, and directly rented a bunk to sleep in it at night.

It wasn't until the second year that he was accepted as a personal disciple by the deputy "Bailong Zhenren" of the academy, and was vigorously cultivated by Bailong Zhenren, and with better cultivation conditions, he did not run into the Tibetan Scripture Hall again.

When Zhou Shicheng introduced Lian Yunxiao's talent and opportunities in a tone of envy and jealousy, Shen Lang was full of joy.

Ten silver dollars a day, the secret method is casually seen......

This is a paradise for a genius like Brother Lang and me, who is once in a thousand years, who can have an epiphany in an instant after turning over a book in a few seconds!

So after cleaning up the dormitory, Shen Lang didn't even care about eating, so he went straight to the Tibetan Scripture Hall.

Anyway, the Tibetan Scripture Hall also provides food and beverage services, although the cost is a little higher, but as long as you can enjoy the fun of learning, Shen Lang, a super scholar, said:

What's the point of spending a little more? Knowledge is priceless! Brother Lang, I only lack knowledge now, not money!
