Chapter 21 10,000 people take the test
It was already completely dark, but the county town was brightly lit. Zhu Cheng recognized the words, and soon found a hotel, the two tossed for more than ten days, they were already exhausted, entered the hotel, opened the room, and fell asleep.
The next morning, the two woke up, and You Zhukong was in the mood to observe the hotel room, the house was wide and large, the bed was soft and warm, and the room was decorated with all kinds of Zeno Country ornaments and furniture, which was extremely luxurious.
The lamps in the room made him feel very interesting, a bit like oil lamps, made of metal in the shape of quaint animals or plants, with a wick on it, and something like grease burning in it. But the smell is fragrant and fragrant, and it makes people smell like a fairy.
Yesterday, they just smelled this smell and fell asleep quickly. Zhu Cheng explained to him that this is different from the night lantern used by the people, called the fox tail lamp, which is extracted from a plant called fox demon grass, plus other herbal ingredients, which can play different wonderful purposes, some can calm the nerves, some can aphrodisiac, is a luxury.
After a while, two girls brought a hearty breakfast, and after arranging the breakfast, the two girls began to clean the room.
While tasting the delicious food, You Zhukong looked at the thinly dressed beautiful girl, and said in surprise: "Is Ze no Kuni very rich?
Zhu Cheng said disapprerovingly: "Where! There are many poor people in any country, and we live in a Tianzi house, of course, it's okay! That's it, compared with my past, that's far behind!"
You Zhu jumped up and asked, "Tianzi room, how much is it for a night?"
Zhu Cheng continued to say leisurely: "I didn't ask, master, I live in a hotel, and I never ask the price!
You Zhukong pulled Zhu Cheng up and shouted: "Let's go, hurry up and settle the bill, you don't want to be beaten out!
As soon as they settled the bill, they spent 13,000 shells, and the total money of the two of them was only more than 20,000 shells, and half of the money was killed in a Tianzi room. () You Zhukong was in pain, and secretly sighed that he was careless in making friends, and met such a brother who could make money.
Zhu Cheng shouted: "I haven't enjoyed it enough, those two ** just now said that there is a massage service?
You Zhukong coaxed and trained, and finally changed to an ordinary room, two thousand shells a day, which also made them feel quite stressed. After changing rooms, You Zhukong talked to a young man in the hotel and wanted to inquire about Taiming Academy.
The young man's eyes immediately lit up, and he said, "Are you candidates?", after speaking, seeing their swollen faces, he covered his mouth and smiled: "Did the two of you tell fortunes yesterday?"
You Zhukong and Zhu Cheng were taken aback, how did this young man know, Zhu Cheng slapped his swollen face and became fat, and said, "Forget it! It's good! What's wrong?"
The young man smiled: "I said, don't be angry, there are a lot of candidates who have come to the Taiming Academy in this county recently, there are two fortune tellers nearby, a woman and a man, pretending to be the Ji Yao family, fooling when they see people, saying that the person who seeks the calculation is from far away, he is coming to study locally, he is looking for a relative, the relative is still alive, etc., in the end, he will ask for 10 million shells, and if he can't take it out, he will be beaten!"
You Zhukong and Zhu Cheng were even more surprised, and You Zhukong asked, "What, are these two liars?"
The young man smiled and said: "It's not a liar, think about it, the outsiders who come to this county must be from afar! Most of the people who can run to fortune telling are candidates! In the past few years, there have been wars for many years, and who has not lost a relative, and it is normal to find a relative! This is the same set back and forth, and one is accurate!"
You Zhukong and Zhu Cheng secretly smiled bitterly, could it be that the gods they met were just a big fool! You Zhukong was still a little puzzled in his heart, what Ji Yao Xinfei said was nothing more than a set of distances, entrance examinations, and relatives, but it seemed to be too coincidental with his own situation, which made him full of doubts.
Zhu Cheng didn't want to mention this embarrassing matter again, and said: "We want to go to Tai Mingjing to study, you just mentioned the candidates, do you still have to take the exam for admission?!"
The young man immediately spat and flew wildly, and Haikan got up and said: "Of course! Today is the annual Taiming Jing entrance examination, Taiming Jinghua Academy is one of the two famous schools in our country, and the king must be polite to their principal! But it is a major event in our Antai County! Candidates from dozens of counties in the empire will come to participate, and it must be crowded with people!"
You Zhukong secretly rejoiced, fortunately he arrived in time, two days late, wouldn't he have to wait another year. Zhu Cheng asked curiously, "What are the exams?"
The young man said excitedly: "That's a hard day! Every year, tens of thousands of people go to take the exam, but only 200 people are accepted for the Tai Ming Sutra! I also tried once, but I failed in the first one! The content of the exam."
You Zhu hollow comprehended, took out two hundred shells and gave them to the young man, Zhu Cheng was puzzled: "You are crazy! What do you do with money?!"
You Zhukong laughed in a low voice: "You have been in a big city, why don't you know the rules, you need to take care of everything you want!"
The young man Mali put away the tip, raised his eyebrows, and began to introduce them with his eyebrows, he said: "The exam of the Tai Ming Sutra, it's troublesome! Everyone has to pass three games, the content of the exam, fighting, aura and soul power!"
"Do you still have to fight against people?" asked Yu Zhukong.
The young man smiled: "It's not that simple! This first level of fighting is with puppeteers, and the puppeteers are all manipulated by the academy's mentors." The second level is to test your aura to see if it is sufficient, if the aura is insufficient, you will enter the academy in vain! The third level is to test your soul power to see how well you can control the aura, the aura is sufficient, but you are not good at manipulating, it is still in vain!"
You Zhukong and Zhu Cheng stuck out their tongues when they heard this. You Zhukong was secretly worried, the second level was his own death hole, no wonder the master repeatedly emphasized that he must improve his physical fitness, and without special skills, his chance of being admitted to the academy is equal to zero.
The young man said again: "I want to register for the exam, and I am also very knowledgeable!"
You Zhukong remembered the matter of the invitation, so he said: "Is it a problem with the invitation? I have one here!"
"You have an invitation!!" the young man almost exclaimed, but then he shook his head again, "No! No, you two only have one invitation, and this thing must be one mile each! Now one invitation, the black market has risen to 220,000 shells!"
"Two hundred and twenty thousand shells!!" This time it was You Zhukong and Zhu Cheng's turn to exclaim, the two of them only had 10,000 shells left in hand, which was not enough to buy on the black market.
The young man said nonchalantly: "I advise you, why don't you sell the invitation letter and do some small business! Because even if you get the invitation letter, you may not be able to take the exam! Due to the large number of people who sign up for the college, only a maximum of 2,000 people can take the exam every day, and for five consecutive days, a total of 10,000 places will be released! I see you, it's really mysterious!"
You Zhukong and Zhu Cheng were taken aback, and You Zhukong shouted: "There is still a quota limit! What about those who can't be named? Is an invitation just like this?"
The young man said helplessly: "Isn't it wasted! So many people go to line up in the middle of the night, just to secure a place!"
After inquiring about the news from the little guy, the two of them left the hotel, looking dazed, Zhu Cheng said: "Now there is only one invitation letter, it seems that our brothers can only be separated!"
Zhu Cheng didn't have an invitation letter, and when he saved enough money to buy an invitation letter, the college exam would have already ended! You Zhukong sighed: "Don't mention this again! You accompany me to find Youyou, accompany me to fight with the crazy snail, we are a lifelong friendship, now let me leave you and go to the academy by myself, that is absolutely impossible!"
Zhu Cheng was very happy when he heard this, licked his lips and said, "Two hundred and twenty thousand shells!
Go in business, make a lot of money, come back next year!"
You Zhukong thought that he could afford to wait, Tiantian, Yanran, and Youyou, the three most important women in his life couldn't afford to wait, he scolded God in his heart, and then said: "Now is not the time to give up, let's go to the academy first to see the situation, by the way, the Naga Zhirou tutor in the academy is my benefactor, and she is one of the two beauties of the empire!"
"Naga Zhirou!" Zhu Cheng was stunned for a moment, thoughtful, and suddenly he shouted and shouted: "Not to mention the two beauties of the country of Ze! She is a famous beauty in the Ethereal Continent!
You Zhu laughed secretly in his heart, which triggered Zhu Cheng's ** nerves, and this guy burned all at once.
The two of them walked to the north of the county according to the young man's guidance, and every time they walked, they felt that there were more and more people, and finally they were already crowded. The two of them squeezed through the crowd, and it was easy to get closer.
You Zhukong raised his eyes and looked, Taiming Academy was really powerful!
The college occupies nearly one-tenth of the entire county, and the courtyard walls are also made of huge stones, more than 20 meters high, with quaint patterns carved on the stones, and some moss and climbing plants on the walls. At each section of the courtyard wall, there is a corner tower with some magical monsters carved on it.
The gate of the college is made up of four complete boulders, which are more than half higher than the courtyard wall, making them even more imposing. In the middle of the four boulders are three gates cast in metal, and on each door, a beast's head is cast, and the face is hideous.
Such a magnificent academy is like a religious temple!
You Zhukong looked from afar, crowded, the door in the middle of the academy did not open, but opened the side doors on both sides, each side was crowded with students taking the exam, surrounded by onlookers on the third and outer floors.
The two of them searched along the left side of the line, but they couldn't find the end, and they walked for thousands of meters before they saw the crowd in the last row. While feeling the popularity of the Tai Ming Sutra, the two crowded into the crowd, waiting for the teachers of the academy to come out and distribute number plates.
Suddenly, people cheered in unison, and it turned out that more than a dozen people came out of the academy, who looked like the tutors of the academy from a distance, and the first old man said: "Taiming Academy! This year's examination has begun, and today it is limited to 2,000, and now we will start distributing number plates!"
The old man's voice was strong, although he faced tens of thousands of people, but it still overshadowed everyone's discussions, and it reached everyone's ears far away.
