Chapter 70 Enrollment
Stepping on the faint autumn, Chen Fan and Xiao Qing specially wore a Taoist robe, Xiao Qing wore the sword with the real name of "Snow and Dragon" around his waist and came to the Taoist Temple.
On the road, I saw one or two young people carrying thick bags, and some people dangling their hands, followed by the porter carrying the salute, Chen Fan looked at the sun hanging in the sky, the time was not early, the two of them fought boxing, and then went out, the scene at this time was different from what Chen Fan thought, far less noisy than Chen Fan imagined.
"Aqing, do you still know how many new students our Taoist temple has recruited this time?" Chen Fan looked at the pedestrians on the road and asked.
"This is not very clear, but there shouldn't be many people, Baiyun Temple recruits about fifty people a year, and Zhenwu Guan should be about the same." Xiao Qing said uncertainly.
"Oh, that's too little." Thinking about the scale of the original university enrollment of thousands of people, Chen Fan not only sighed.
"It's okay, some Taoist temples don't recruit disciples, only Taoist children, or directly recruit Taoist priests, it's good to have Taoist temples that can recruit disciples." Xiao Qing, who had a little inquiry about the Taoist temple before, replied.
Well, Chen Fan agrees with this, after all, Taoism is different from the academy, and it is normal to think that there are few people. Moreover, in this society, the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Liang State are estimated to have a population of only tens of millions, which is incomparable with the modern population of 1.4 billion.
"Yes, yes, yes, but the Dafa of my Dao Sect should be carried forward, and the more natural people, the better." This is not that Chen Fan deliberately wants to contradict Xiao Qing, but he has a feeling, after watching the performance room and martial arts hall of Puming Temple, Chen Fan is a little worried about the personnel of the real martial arts concept, there is a competitive relationship between the Xuanmen here, if you want not to be suppressed, no matter what else, you have to outperform the other party in terms of numbers, in Chen Fan's opinion, it is the most reasonable.
"Are you two Dao boys who came to help?" Just as the two were talking, a young man in a blue robe came up next to him and greeted him.
"No, we're freshmen." Chen Fan explained.
"Freshmen?" The young man was obviously stunned and said, "Then why did you come here in Taoist robes?" ”
Chen Fan and Xiao Qing glanced at each other, and immediately realized that it seemed a little inappropriate to wear a robe today, and the freshman report should be that the robe has not been issued yet, and I don't know what kind of clothing it is. ”
"Exactly, seeing that the two of them were wearing Taoist clothes, they took the liberty of disturbing for a while, and the two of them also came to the Taoist temple to report?"
"Exactly." Chen Fan replied affirmatively.
"I see that the two of you are still young, and now you will come to the Taoist Temple to study, presumably the talent must be extraordinary, and I hope to take care of you in the future." This young man did not despise Chen Fan and Xiao Qing because of their young age, but greeted them a little warmly.
"Where, you're welcome, we take care of each other. I think you have studied in the Taoist Academy, do you know how many people came to the Taoist Temple to study this time? ”
"I don't know. To tell you the truth, I came from Jiaxing, and my family had just moved to Gusu, so I went to this temple to continue my practice. The young man explained.
It turned out that he didn't have any friends in Gusu, no wonder he came over to inquire about the situation, Chen Fan thought secretly in his heart, and said: "My name is Daoxuan, and the one next to me is called Yuantong, they are all Dao names given by Guanli, I don't know what to call Brother Tai?" ”
"In Xia Lanjing, it turns out that the two of them already have a road number, which is really disrespectful."
"Where, it's just that the two of us have been determined to be Taoist priests since childhood, and the Taoist chief sees that we are sincere and has an exceptional income, are you ready to become a Taoist priest in the future?" As far as Chen Fan knew, many people went to the Taoist temple to study for sword practice or cultivation, and they didn't have much interest in being a true Taoist, so they asked Lan Jing.
"Look at this then, the Yuan channel chief next to you, wearing a sword, wants to be extraordinary in swordsmanship, I don't know if you can give me some advice in the future?"
This Chen Fan was not easy to answer, and looked sideways at Xiao Qing.
"This sword is just a modification, and my swordsmanship is average, so the Dao Masters should be able to teach it later, right?" Xiao Qing excused himself.
This is modest enough, but Chen Fan didn't intend to expose Xiao Qing, Xiao Qing didn't even teach himself, let him teach others, it is estimated that it is not very likely.
"Well, it should be taught, what I studied in the Taoist Academy is "Three and Five Gong Gong", and it also involves some basic swordsmanship, I don't know what this specifically teaches." Lan Jing replied.
"We'll find out later, let's go register first." A few people have unconsciously come to the school yard, and see that not far away there is a bamboo board with the words "Douda freshman registration place", and there is a table next to it, and a Taoist priest wearing Taoist clothes is sitting there, and there is no one in front of him.
A few people walked over and went through the admission procedures, which was not complicated, reported a name and issued a number plate, Chen Fan took the opportunity to ask: "This senior brother, do you know how many new students we have enrolled this time?" ”
"Ninety-six at the moment." After knowing that the two in front of him were Dao Xuan and Yuan Tong, this senior brother's face was full of enthusiasm, and it seemed that he had heard the names of the two.
"Does the Taoist temple provide accommodation for tutors or companions?" As for whether Hou Feng could live in the Taoist temple, Chen Fan asked casually.
"This is not possible at the moment, of course, you can apply for it in special circumstances." Knowing that the identities of the two are special, especially when they look at Xiao Qing, they are probably full of envy for the legend of this lucky person.
"What are the classics we have learned? Does the Taoist temple provide it? ”
"The classics are generally Lao Tzu's "Huang Ting Jing", "Mengwei Jing", etc., which will be taught when the school starts the day after tomorrow."
"Okay, thank you. How do I get to this accommodation? Chen Fan continued to ask
"Just go down this road. You live in a first-class room, which is specially taken care of by the master of the Xu Palace. Only A and B are five people, and the rest are ten people. ”
"Then can we arrange for the two of us to live in the A-shaped room?" Although Chen Fan doesn't plan to live in a Taoist temple, it is good to have a place to settle down and rest in normal times. Since the person in front of him is selling the face of the Lord of the Xu Palace, that is, he is stained with Xiao Qing's light, Chen Fan wants to take advantage of this advantage.
"This is a bit difficult, the first room, in previous years, it was arranged for the first freshman of the Daoist Academy to live, and there was just a freshman who got the first martial arts in the Daoist Academy, and he has been arranged to move in."
"Oh, that's okay, I'm just asking, it's good to have a lot of people. By the way, can I live outside the temple? Chen Fan immediately took back what he had just said, it would cause a dispute with his classmates on the first day, how bad it would be.
Is this bent and extended? A few people looked at Chen Fan, and Chen Fan looked calm, as if he hadn't asked if the two of them lived in one room, not only a little admired.
"Yes, there is no mandatory requirement to live in the Taoist temple, as long as it does not affect learning."
"That's good, thank you, let's take our leave." Later, someone came to report, and Chen Fan didn't have the interest to get acquainted with immediately, but decided to go to the dormitory to have a look first, so he said to Xiao Qing and Lan Jing: "Let's go to the school building first, Lan Jing, are you together?" ”
"I'll wait for my entourage, you go first, I'll be there soon." Lan Jing was also empty-handed, I don't know how he was separated from his entourage, and he was assigned to room C4.
"Okay, then we'll take our leave, we'll see you later." After speaking, Chen Fan and Xiao Qing walked towards the dormitory.
The door of the A-shaped room was hidden, Chen Fan and Xiao Qing found it smoothly, pushed the door in, the space inside was okay, and there were five very small single beds, which were about one meter two in width, and about two meters in length, among which the leftmost one, the one by the window had been occupied, and some clothes were placed on it, and it was estimated that they had not had time to clean up, and the people went out.
This environment is still quite simple, fortunately, Chen Fan didn't plan to live, although he didn't plan to live, but he wanted to occupy the two beds on the right first, declare his sovereignty, and use it during recess in the future, but unfortunately they didn't bring anything, and they couldn't let Aqing leave the sword, the scabbard and the sword each accounted for one, think about it, forget it, let others choose first.
"Let's go, let's go to C4." After looking at the A-shaped room, Chen Fan felt that his decision to buy a house was still very wise, although he was not a particular person, but in this era when there was no bathroom and no running water, some aspects of life were still necessary.
Just as they were about to go out, a person walked in, quite burly, and dark, a bit like Tietang, but without the woodenness of Tietang, it was more domineering, which was the first feeling for Chen Fan.
"You're looking for someone?" Seeing the two of them inside, the visitor frowned and asked.
"No, we live here." Xiao Qing, who has never liked to speak, spoke first at this time. Someone answered, Chen Fan was naturally willing not to squeak and handed it over to Xiao Qing to deal with.
"You live here? How old is it? Why haven't I seen you in the Taoist Academy, this is the first place to live in the Taoist Academy. The visitor obviously didn't believe it, and his originally frowning eyebrows were raised, and he asked in a loud voice.
"We don't know, but the Taoist temple divided us here, and I think that although we didn't get the first place in the Taoist Academy, our strength was still recognized by the Taoist temple." Xiao Qing replied coldly, giving Chen Fan the feeling that he was a little arrogant.
"What are you studying, can you have so much confidence?" Xu sensed Xiao Qing's self-confidence, but the person who came put away a little bit of contempt and asked.
"I learn martial arts, and he practices chess."
"Okay, then let's practice our hands, don't say I'm bullying you, you want to live in this A-shaped room, you can't do it without showing some real skills." When the visitor heard Xiao Qing say that he was learning martial arts, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but propose.
It seems that he is a martial idiot, Chen Fan commented in his heart, although he really wanted to see who was higher and who was inferior in the martial arts of the two, but he still decisively interjected on the side: "Wait, we haven't asked this brother Tai Daimyo yet." My name is Dao Xuan, it was Yuan Tong who just answered with you, and I will ask you to take care of me in the future. ”
