Chapter 19: The Boss of the Wind and Rain Building
In the historic city of Taihang County, a mysterious little guest was ushered in, walking on the street with a thin figure, looking around at the flower world in the city and the colorful city life.
Xiao Chu Hao found a relatively small inn to live in, he wants to stay here for a long time, he can't have no place to stay, this small inn is very small, only a dozen rooms, the decoration is simple, and the fee is very low.
This small inn is called Fengyulou, and the shopkeeper is a local, who seems to be honest and loyal, not like a treacherous person, with a kind face, white hair, and a lot of silver threads in his beard.
The inn only accepts ten silver coins a night, this amount is acceptable to Xiao Chu Hao, only three gold coins a month, for Xiao Chu Hao to afford it, the burden is not big.
Xiao Chuhao came to the street, bought a map of Taihang County, returned to the inn, and looked at the signs and names on the map.
On the map of Taihang County, some major forces must be clearly marked, such as: City Lord's Mansion, Alchemist Guild, Xuanwu Gate, Mercenary Guild, Agni Palace, Warrior Guild, Xuanwu Academy Branch, and Taihang County Academy, etc...... It's very clear.
Xiao Chuhao now thinks that it would be best if he could enter the academy, learn more things in the academy, increase his experience, and have a foundation.
Xiao Chu Hao has lived in the inn for a few days, and he is already very familiar with the innkeeper, so when he has nothing to do, he asks the innkeeper about the things in the city and the matters to pay attention to.
On this day, Xiao Chuhao and the innkeeper sat in the courtyard of the inn, chatting with each other about Taihang County, and Xiao Chuhao asked: "Boss, the two schools in the city, which one is better?"
The corner of the boss's mouth smiled slightly, "Haha, Xiao Chu! Taihang College is a local college, but it only takes in people from Taihang County, the conditions and teaching of the college are relatively poor, and there is no deep background and resources.
But Xuanwu College is different, Xuanwu College is run by the Xuanwu Empire, it is one of the top colleges on the Xuanwu Continent, it is just a small branch, there are branches in the kingdom, the empire is the general college, the teaching resources and environment are top, but the standard of recruiting students is very high, and few people are admitted, although there is a branch here, but there are very few people, only a few people, but here is only a recruiting teacher, not a student, if it is successfully recruited, it will be sent to the royal capital, and those with good grades can directly enter the general academy to study, if any child can enter the Xuanwu Academy, it is definitely an official or a strong person after coming out, Xuanwu Academy only recruits once a year, all under the age of fifteen, the selection and testing standards are very high, this year's enrollment has ended for two months, if you want to sign up and wait for the next year!"
Xiao Chuhao shook his head helplessly, although he came late, but he still has a chance next year!
Xiao Chu Hao asked, "Uncle, if you enter Taihang Academy first, can you sign up for Xuanwu Academy then?"
The innkeeper looked at Xiao Chu Hao and thought to himself that this kid was so smart that he could indeed find a temporary place to stay, and he could also learn things first without wasting time.
Then he smiled slightly, and said: "Xiao Chu, of course this is okay, if you can enter Xuanwu Academy, Taihang Academy will be happy for you, because then they will think that you were taught by them, and the faces of the academy and teachers will also have brilliance!
Xiao Chuhao nodded secretly after hearing this, and said in his heart, this can indeed solve the urgent need, he has a foothold, and he has the academy as a backer, and it is easy to mix in the city, otherwise it will be difficult for him to gain a foothold in this huge Taihang County.
After learning about some of the things in the city, Xiao Chuhao also had some confidence in his heart, and he really didn't have much confidence in his heart about entering Xuanwu Academy, but he was absolutely qualified to enter Taihang Academy.
Xiao Chuhao held the map in his hand, looked at the signs on it, and asked the innkeeper puzzled: "Uncle boss, like those sects and academies, which one is better?"
The innkeeper thought for a while and said: "Sects are forces, they do not belong to the empire or the kingdom, they are forces independent of the empire and the kingdom, some powerful sects have surpassed the empire in strength, and even much stronger than the empire, and many sects are above the empire." The academy is an organization within the Empire, and when they graduate, most of them will be loyal to the Empire, so they are not the same thing at all. ”
For these, Xiao Chu Hao had only heard some of them when he was a child, and he didn't really understand the gap between them, and when he heard that the sect was above the empire, Xiao Chu Hao was still a little shocked.
In Xiao Chu Hao's heart, the empire is a behemoth, the most powerful, there are high-level masters in the empire, if it is above the empire, then what kind of strong people will there be in those sects, and listen to the boss, the sect has strong resources, a long history, and strong strength, if you can enter the sect, it is a good choice, thinking of Xiao Chu Hao's smile on the corner of his mouth at this time, he smiled dumbly.
Of course, the innkeeper knew, what was the little guy thinking in his heart, and said to stop him, and said: "Xiao Chu! You want to enter the sect, let me remind you, the selection of disciples in the sect is very strict, far stricter than that of the Xuanwu Academy, they select disciples, the first depends on the qualifications, the second depends on the cultivation, not everyone can enter, entering the Xuanwu Academy is one in ten thousand, but entering the sect is less than one in 100,000, so if you want to enter the sect, you must be mentally prepared first." ”
Then the boss explained, "The sect is divided into levels, and it also recruits disciples once a year, and the sect level is divided into five levels, the first-grade sect, the second-grade sect, the third-grade sect, the fourth-grade sect and the fifth-grade sect. The sect is divided into outer disciples, inner disciples, elite disciples, personal disciples, Dharma protectors, elders, sect masters, and some old monsters, some of them are called ancestors, some are called Taishang elders, and they are called by different names.
If you want to enter the sect, let me remind you that in the territory of the Dayu Kingdom, there is no sect above the third grade, and now the Xuanwu Gate and the Agni Palace in Taihang County, one is the fourth grade, the other is the fifth grade, and the kingdom above the third grade is not established, only in the empire. However, if the four-grade sect can be entered, it is also good, like the Xuanwu Gate, although it is not as good as the Xuanwu Academy, but it is also relatively good, I was in the Xuanwu Gate when I was young, and then there were too many trivial things in the family, so I left the Xuanwu Gate. The Xuanwu Gate is on Longhu Mountain, and here are only some of the stewards of the Xuanwu Gate, who are responsible for recruiting disciples and handling errands within the sect. ”
The innkeeper's words shocked Xiao Chu Hao as if he was stupid, and he didn't know that there were still these rules, ranks, and subtle relationships between them in the sect.
Xiao Chuhao opened his mouth and looked at the innkeeper, and suddenly felt a lot more cheerful in his heart, many things he didn't understand, and he suddenly opened up a lot at this time, and he also felt admiration for the boss's experience. Xiao Chuhao never thought in his heart that the owner of a small inn would have such an identity background, experience and knowledge.
The innkeeper looked at Xiao Chu Hao's expression, did not continue to speak, but smiled at the corner of his mouth, left the courtyard, and walked to the front yard, leaving Xiao Chu Hao alone in the courtyard, thinking about some of the words that the boss said, and considering his next step, whether to enter the academy or enter the sect.
Xiao Chu Hao thought about it again and again, and finally decided to enter the sect, after all, there are too many rules in the academy, if the table is excellent, and he is selected by the empire, it is not good if he does not go, and there are many rules and constraints after he goes.
After entering the sect, you can come out at any time to experience, although you have to meet certain requirements, but your current cultivation, after studying in the sect for a few years, can definitely meet the requirements, come out to experience and go home to visit your father.
Xiao Chu Hao inquired with the innkeeper about how to enter the sect, and then returned to the room to cultivate. According to the boss, first enter the sect to register, then take the test, and if you pass, you will be sent to the sect.
Xiao Chu Hao lowered his head and thought, once he entered the sect, the affairs in the village had to be postponed before they could be dealt with, but this was fine, after all, he and the village chief had already explained that he came out this time, and he came out to experience, and it would be better if he could solve the affairs in the village, and he would not blame himself if he couldn't solve the village chief. But if you have the opportunity to solve it, you will definitely solve it, and now you can't help yourself and have no choice, I hope the village chief won't blame yourself! I hope that I will succeed in cultivation as soon as possible and bring harvest to the village, that is a matter in the village, and if I solve it easily, I will be worthy of the nurturing grace of the village and my father!
