Chapter 48: Demon Suppression Courtyard
Following.
As soon as it was dawn, Luo Qingfeng came to Red Leaf Lane early and waited.
Spent the night last night at the Guanyin Temple.
Although it was a little cold, I slept quite well and slept until dawn.
Now I feel much better, and the wounds on my body don't hurt anymore.
It is estimated that in a few days, most of those wounds will be healed.
I hope that I can enter the Demon Suppression Courtyard smoothly today, and I don't have to sleep on the streets anymore.
Waited another moment.
There was a sound of footsteps in the alley.
Luo Qingfeng turned his head to look.
The nightingale wore a white collared shirt on the upper body, a black skirt on the lower body, a slender waist, a neat high ponytail, and a pair of long legs.
Slim waist and hips, enlarged breasts and long legs, and beautiful face.
Such a woman should indeed have self-confidence.
She held a piece of bread wrapped in oiled paper in her hand, walked over, handed it to him, and said, "Freshly fried, eat it while it's hot." ”
Luo Qingfeng was slightly stunned, glanced at her again, reached out to take the cake, and said, "Thank you." ”
I don't know what happened to Ah Ya going to find him last night, did this know, but he didn't dare to take the initiative to mention it.
"Let's go, go early, so you don't have to wait in line."
The nightingale shook its tail and walked ahead.
Luo Qingfeng silently followed behind while eating the warm cake in his hand, looking at her tall and beautiful back.
Hot cakes in the belly, warm in the heart.
Nightingale suddenly turned her head and asked, "By the way, which inn did you stay at last night?" ”
Luo Qingfeng was stunned, and said secretly in his heart: Do you know that I lived in Guanyin Temple last night and are testing me?
Before he could answer, Nightingale said, "Eat the bread quickly, and I'll tell you about the Demon Suppression Courtyard first." ”
Luo Qingfeng continued to eat the cake silently.
"The Demon Suppression Courtyard is divided into the South Courtyard and the North Courtyard, I am in the South Courtyard, and both courtyards are places to cultivate demon slayers. In terms of overall strength, the strength of our Southern Court is stronger, and the competition between the two courts is very fierce, and sometimes there will even be a battle to the death......"
"There are often various competitions between the two academies, almost every year, or even every month, in order to win more abundant cultivation resources, as well as the attention and resource tilt of the general academy......"
"The South Courtyard, like the North Courtyard, has three departments, from high to low, in order, the Heavenly Rank Department, the Earth Rank Department, and the Human Rank Department. Each department is divided into beginner, intermediate, advanced, and king classes. I am in the beginner class of the Southern Academy, because my merits are okay, and I am about to break through the five-star realm of Open Heaven, so I am about to be promoted to the intermediate level. ”
"If you just entered, you should be in the beginner class......
Luo Qingfeng couldn't help but speak: "How does it sound like an academy?" ”
Nightingale turned her head and said, "It's a bit similar, but it's much bigger and more complicated than the academy inside." Also, the academy is to study and govern the country, and we are cultivating to eliminate demons, and the direction is different. When you go in later, you will know that it is very large, and the south and north courtyards are together, but they are in different directions, and there is a lake in the middle, and there is a stone bridge connecting them. However, there have always been conflicts between the two colleges, and many students and teachers also have conflicts, and one side will not pass each other. ”
Luo Qingfeng said: "I thought that your demon slayer was a department of the state, just like the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, or the same as the Yamen, who knew that it was actually an academy." ”
Nightingale smiled: "It can also be regarded as a department of the state, after all, the demon slayers cultivated in it are all for the country." If you go in, you should feel honored. ”
Luo Qingfeng was silent for a moment and said, "I just want to cultivate well and kill monsters by the way." ”
Nightingale looked at him deeply and said, "Don't worry, when you go in, you will see a task posted every day." If you're not afraid of getting tired, you can pick up tasks every day. ”
Luo Qingfeng asked again, "Where do you live?" Also, do you have the money to take it? ”
Nightingale said: "Of course there is money to take, but for the beginner class, there is very little fixed silver per month, only one or two, mainly relying on task rewards." As for the place to live, there will be a monthly rental subsidy of half. When you are promoted to the intermediate class, you will be able to live in the academy and live with everyone. When you reach the advanced class, you will have an independent cultivation courtyard. As for the king class, I heard that the accommodation is better, and the cultivation resources are staggering. ”
"A tael of silver ......"
Luo Qingfeng nodded and didn't say anything more.
When you enter the academy to cultivate, you don't have to pay money, you still have one or two taels of silver to make up for renting a house every month, and there are rewards for doing tasks, and at the same time, you also have a certain official status, which is already very good.
Of course, there are benefits and risks.
Just like the demon slayer who went to Linshan Village that night, there was a danger of falling at any time.
"There are three classes in our South Courtyard Beginner Class, I am in the first class, I will take you directly to our teacher later, she should be able to recruit you directly. Teacher Cao is very good, remember to speak nicely later, don't be taciturn......"
The nightingale carefully advised.
The two crossed several streets, crossed a stone bridge, and soon came to a tall wall.
Inside the walls, you can see several majestic buildings, but elsewhere, there seems to be a wisp of fog that is not clear from the outside.
"There's a formation in it."
Nightingale explained in a low voice, then pointed to the iron gate in front of him and said, "Let's go, let's enter through the side door, it is estimated that there is already a queue at the gate now." ”
As soon as the two of them arrived in front of the iron gate, an old man in a dark gray robe suddenly appeared in the door, holding a broom in his hand, and looked at the two with a kind face.
Nightingale hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Teacher Yin, this friend of mine wants to come to the academy to sign up, and if you know the roots, can you make it convenient to enter from here?" I want to take him directly to Mr. Cao. ”
The old man stared at the young man beside her, and said with a smile: "This Confucian robe, isn't he still a scholar?" ”
Luo Qingfeng hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said, "The junior has indeed read for a few years. ”
The old man nodded, looked at the nightingale again, and said with a smile: "You brought him in through the side door, you probably don't want him to go to the front to be assigned to the north courtyard, or other classes, right?" ”
Nightingale's cheeks were slightly red, and she said respectfully: "My friend just came here, I don't know anyone here, I'm afraid he ......"
"Okay, the old man understands, let's go in."
Before she could finish speaking, the old man had already opened the iron door with a smile and looked at the two meaningfully.
The nightingale hurriedly thanked him and walked in with Luo Qingfeng.
After walking far away, she said in a low voice: "Don't underestimate anyone here, although Teacher Yin is just a gatekeeper, I heard that the former cultivation has reached the realm of the late stage of the star change, and he is only one step away from stepping into the realm of human dignity, it is said that it was because of a task back then, and suddenly his cultivation was lost, so he came here to watch the door......"
Luo Qingfeng nodded and said, "Sister Nightingale, am I going through the back door?" ”
Nightingale laughed, "Sort of." Now you go through my back door, and you will have to go through Mr. Cao's back door later. Teacher Cao is very good, you remember to talk more and express yourself more later. As soon as she takes you to the admissions office, there should be no problem. Every year, many students will take the initiative to introduce people to come in, and the teachers also encourage them to do so, after all, they know the root cause and there will be no big problems. ”
The two of them said as they walked through a garden.
After walking another scenic path, I finally turned onto the main road.
At this time, the morning sun has already risen.
Passing through a huge square, a nine-story attic appeared in front of it.
Nightingale said in a low voice: "You wait here for a while, I'll go and say, by the way, ask if Teacher Cao is there." ”
After saying that, he left quickly.
After a few moments, she beckoned to the attic door.
Luo Qingfeng hurriedly walked over.
"You can go in, Teacher Cao has just arrived, let's go up quickly."
The nightingale led him through the door and went straight up to the third floor.
Walking through the corridor, the nightingale stopped at the door of the innermost room, knocked lightly on the door, and then said, "Teacher Cao, I am the nightingale." ”
The door opened quickly.
Appearing in the door was a middle-aged man in a dark blue robe with a slightly chubby figure.
When he saw the nightingale, a faint smile appeared on his face, and his eyes vaguely looked at her.
When the nightingale saw this person, his face changed slightly.
At this time, a woman's voice came from the house: "Nightingale, is there something wrong?" ”
Nightingale said respectfully, "Teacher Cao, I brought a friend here, and he wants to enter our class. ”
"Oh? Bring him in. ”
The woman's voice inside was gentle and authentic.
The middle-aged man who opened the door looked at Luo Qingfeng's body, looked at it slightly, and let go, still with a faint smile on his face.
The nightingale lowered her head and shouted, "Teacher Yuan." ”
The middle-aged man smiled: "Nightingale, I thought you didn't see me." ”
The nightingale didn't say anything more, and walked into the room with her head bowed.
Luo Qingfeng also shouted and entered the room.
There was a woman in a dark blue dress sitting in the room, about thirty years old, fair-skinned and gentle, but there was a small scar on the left side of her face, which looked quite destructive.
This person is Cao Qin, the head teacher of the first class.
Cao Qin glanced at the young man who entered the room, then looked at the slightly chubby middle-aged man and said, "Teacher Yuan, what you said, I will tell the nightingale later." If there's nothing else to do, go ahead and get busy. ”
The middle-aged man smiled, nodded, glanced at the nightingale again, and went out.
After the door is closed.
Nightingale frowned and asked, "Teacher Cao, what's the matter?" ”
Cao Qin's face was slightly cold: "It's not the last time, his son Yuan Fang has taken a fancy to you, saying that you have good knife skills, I hope you can join their team, you refused Yuan Fang last time, so this time he came to me in person." Hmph, that Yuan Fang is a playboy, but he has harmed many women in the academy, he has invited you again and again, and this time he asked his father to come in person, obviously the purpose is not pure. ”
Nightingale suddenly sank her face: "I will never agree." ”
Cao Qin nodded and said, "Don't worry, although his family is powerful, you don't have to be afraid of him." If you don't want to, just refuse, they don't dare to mess around in the academy. ”
Nightingale bowed her head and said, "Thank you, Mr. Cao." ”
Cao Qin's eyes looked at the young man beside her again, and said, "Tell me about your friend." ”
Only then did the nightingale remember what was going on, and hurriedly said: "His name is Luo Qingfeng, and he is from Qingquan Town outside the city. Now the monsters in the town are in turmoil, and his family has been killed by the monsters, so he entered the city alone. It just so happened that the college was recruiting students, so I brought him over. Teacher Cao, his current cultivation is a four-star Open Heaven, and also, he was promoted from a two-star to a four-star in the Open Heaven, and it only took a few days for him to be promoted, and his talent must be very good......
"Oh?"
When Cao Qin heard this, he immediately stood up, and his face suddenly showed a touch of excitement: "Nightingale, is this true?" It really only took him a few days to go from the two-star realm of Open Heaven to the four-star realm of Open Heaven? Even the geniuses of our South and North Courtyards couldn't be so fast. ”
Nightingale glanced to the side and said respectfully, "Seriously." ”
Cao Qin's face was suddenly full of joy, he walked in front of Luo Qingfeng, looked at it carefully again, stretched out his hand and said, "Come, stretch out your left hand and let me see your talent." ”
Luo Qingfeng lowered his head and stretched out his hand respectfully.
Cao Qin stretched out a finger and gently put it on his wrist, as if taking a pulse, and said softly: "Relax, slowly urge the star power in the body......"
Luo Qingfeng did so.
Cao Qin closed her eyes, was quiet for a moment, and slowly opened her eyes, with a hint of doubt on her face.
Nightingale couldn't wait to ask, "Teacher Cao, how is his talent?" ”
Cao Qin didn't speak, closed her eyes again, touched it again for a while, then opened her eyes, frowned and said, "It's really strange, how do you look at ......"
She suddenly let go of her hand and said, "You guys wait here for a while, I'll go find Deacon Shangguan." ”
With that, she walked out the door quickly.
