Chapter 441: Eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, birth, old age, sickness and death

Zhou Ziheng stood in place, a little unresponsive.

He originally thought that today's National Religious Academy would still be like a few days ago, trying to find a way to delay, and then find a way to face his own challenges - for example, the National Religious Academy may invite His Royal Highness Luoluo out of the palace, in that case, of course, he can only admit defeat, or avoid the war, but the Tianhai family has made a plan for this, if the National Religious Academy really lets His Highness Luoluo come forward, the Tianhai family will definitely take advantage of this to set off a bigger storm - but he never thought that Chen Changsheng actually agreed.

After a while, he really came to his senses, looked at Chen Changsheng with a solemn expression and asked, "Who is going to fight in the National Religious Academy?"

Chen Changsheng said: "I." ”

When he said this word, he did not pause, and naturally did not think about it, which seemed very natural.

Yes, he is the dean of the Anglican Academy, and when the Anglican Academy is challenged, of course, it should be faced by him.

Zhou Ziheng suddenly found that compared with today's Chen Changsheng and the previous two days, some places have changed, but he doesn't know where exactly has changed.

"Good. He looked at Chen Changsheng and asked, "Since the time has been set, then you can go anywhere?"

Chen Changsheng said: "According to the detailed rules in the proposal of the two archbishops of the Holy Church, since the time is set by our Anglican College, the location is naturally determined by the sect. ”

Zhou Ziheng looked at the crowd outside Baihua Alley, and said expressionlessly: "Since so many people have come, let's just settle here." ”

Chen Changsheng nodded that he had no objection, looked at the soy milk and fritters that Tang Thirty-six didn't know when he bought, shook his head and said helplessly, "Is eating and drinking so important?"

Tang Thirty-six said: "Eating and drinking is not life and death, it is higher than life and death. ”

The doors of the Anglican College were closed again, but it was a complete change from the isolation of the previous days, and everyone knew that tomorrow, the closed door would open again.

The commotion of the crowd outside Hyakka-do continued, and so did the whole of Kyoto.

The Zongyi Institute challenged the Anglican Academy, which would be the first battle of the Academy's martial arts.

It has nothing to do with the far-reaching significance that the new rules of the state religion have brought to the human race against the demons, and people know very well that this means that the forces of the Tianhai family and the new sect of the state religion have finally begun to make their voices heard in the palace.

It didn't take long for the news to spread throughout Kyoto, and soon a large number of workers arrived with various construction materials, and in a short time, a simple pergola began to take shape. Then, dozens of carriages came to the outside of Baihua Lane, and many people walked down from the cars, including painters, storytellers, merchants, and Haqing masters from the four major squares.

Yes, these people, who reacted faster than Kyoto Prefecture, are all from Kyoto's famous four major squares.

The four major squares do all kinds of business, restaurants, restaurants, brothels, food, luxury goods, fabrics, but the most profitable business is always the gambling house.

In fact, many people are doubting that the palace can be in such a short period of time, regardless of the opposition of the cardinal office to the proposal of the two archbishops of the Holy Church, it is very likely that the owners behind the four major squares secretly promoted it.

Of course, outside Baihua Alley became extremely lively, but the people of the four squares did not dare to harass the tranquility of the National Education College, and businessmen were businessmen.

What happened next was somewhat unexpected.

One of the stewards of Tianxiangfang actually ignored the vigilant gaze of the priest and the Yulin army, and walked to the door of the National Education Academy. People looked at this scene, very puzzled, thinking to themselves what this steward is going to do? You must know that Tianxiangfang is the weakest in the four major squares, and has always been ranked last, this year's dynasty tried to be unpopular, and finally Chen Changsheng unbelievably won the first place on the list, which made Tianxiangfang suffer heavy losses, and there have even been rumors that Tianxiangfang is very likely to change hands, where does this steward have the confidence?

Something even more unexpected happened, the door of the Anglican College actually opened, and the steward walked in like this.

......

......

"You mean...... Tianxiangfang is your Tang family's property?"

Chen Changsheng looked at the extremely humble steward in front of Tang Thirty-six, and asked in surprise, "Why have I never heard of it?"

Tang Thirty-six said: "The matter that was decided after the Great Dynasty Examination. ”

Chen Changsheng said: "I heard that the background of the four major squares in Kyoto is extremely deep, and it seems that one family is still the industry of Tianji Pavilion, why would the former owner of Tianxiangfang be willing to make a move?"

Everyone knows that the Wenshui Tang family is the richest family in the world, and the problem is that the relationship between the Tianhai family and the Tang family has always been a bit bad, and over the years, they have been secretly preventing the Tang family's forces from entering Kyoto. If Tianxiangfang really returned to the Tang family, the efforts of the Tianhai family would be in vain, so he didn't understand how the Tang family did it.

Tang Thirty-six looked at him and smiled, without explaining.

Chen Changsheng was a little baffled.

The steward looked at Chen Changsheng, his expression was also a little strange, and he thought to himself that if it weren't for the Wenshui Tang family who had placed a heavy bet on you in the Great Imperial Test, why would Tianxiangfang be forced to change hands if it lost? He naturally didn't dare to say these words, and looked at Tang Thirty-six and asked: "Young Master, according to the rules of the family, the money in the workshop cannot be moved, and I can only stake all your personal deposits." ”

Tang Thirty-six calculated the number, thinking that even if he won, it would not be enough to buy Chenghu Tower, so he turned to Chen Changsheng and Xuanyuan Po and said, "Give me how much money you still have." ”

He borrowed money from others, so naturally he didn't need to open any IOUs or anything like that, and as for what he borrowed money for, he didn't bother to explain, he borrowed money from others, and he really looked down on the other party.

It's a pity that these two of his classmates in the Anglican College are really a little despised in this regard.

Xuanyuan rummaged through the boxes and cabinets and found more than seventy taels of silver.

Chen Changsheng was even more miserable, rummaging through his whole body, but he didn't even find a piece of paper.

Tang Thirty-six was very sympathetic to Xuanyuan Po, but he was extremely angry with Chen Changsheng: "What about those silver tickets I gave you? What about those treasures that His Highness Luoluo gave you? After the Great Imperial Examination, the National Education Academy received so many gift lists, where did all the things go?"

Chen Changsheng was a little embarrassed and said, "Those ...... It's all in the Zhou Garden. ”

Tang Thirty-six knew very well how much property Chen Changsheng had before he went to Zhou Yuan, not to mention the boxes of silver tickets, the treasures that fell to him were all a little envious, and the result was ...... Thinking that now that Zhou Yuan had been destroyed and there was no hope of finding those goods, he felt even more sad, looked at him and said angrily: "What a loser." ”

Chen Changsheng thought about the boxes and books in the depths of Zhouyuan Lake, and he also felt so sorry, thinking that he had to find a way to get them back. In the past two days, he has tried several times, but after his divine sense has passed through that sea of sword intent, he still can't pass through the virtual image of the black stone tablet, and it seems that it will be a very long process to find his way back to Zhou Yuan again.

Xuanyuan Po suddenly thought of a question, glanced at the Tianxiangfang steward who was counting the silver taels, and asked Tang Thirty-six, "Do you want money to gamble?"

Tang Thirty-six said: "Otherwise, do you want to prostitute?"

Xuanyuan shook his head and said: "Our clan has said that human beings are the most cunning, and we can't gamble with you, so I might as well keep it for some small business." ”

As he spoke, he prepared to go and take back his silver taels.

"What a stupid bear. Tang Thirty-six said angrily: "It only takes two days, and one tael of silver will become eleven taels of silver, what business is more worth doing than this?"

Xuanyuan Po stopped, and said with some surprise: "Why do you lose so much?"

The demon clan doesn't like to gamble with the human race, it doesn't mean that they don't gamble, no matter how honest the bear clan boy is, he at least knows the odds.

Tang Thirty-six said: "The odds just calculated by the four major squares, the highest is one to eleven, and the lowest is one to nine. ”

Xuanyuan Po suddenly felt that something was wrong, and asked with some uncertainty: "Is this what you mean that we win?"

Tang Thirty-six looked at him like an idiot: "Zhou Ziheng is in the Gathering Star Realm, Chen Changsheng is in the Secluded Realm, do you think the four major squares will give Zhou Ziheng a compensation of eleven?"

Xuanyuan was shocked and shouted, "You actually want to take my money to detain Chen Changsheng!"

You must know that in addition to the subsidy issued by the cardinal's office, the rest of the dozens of taels of silver are the hard-earned money he earned by washing dishes in the night market, where is he willing to let the money go down the drain.

Tang Thirty-six looked at him and sneered and said, "You have to figure it out, if you don't detain him, he will use his status as the dean to give you small shoes to wear, and then sue you in front of His Highness Luoluo, what should you do?"

Xuanyuan was helpless when he heard this, and felt so painful.

......

......

The plum blossoms in the room are still in full bloom, as if there are really four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter between a few simple walls.

Unfortunately, it is impossible for human life to have such a beautiful and magical scene, and once it comes to the awe-inspiring winter, it will never return to spring.

Merissa's illness is already very serious, and all the affairs in the cardinal office have been handed over to his subordinates, and some affairs have been transferred to Mao Qiuyu.

In fact, he knew very well that he was not sick, but just old.

If it is a disease, it can be cured, let alone that it is he who is sick. As long as he is willing, he is afraid that the teachers and students of the entire Thirteen Divisions of Qingyu will come over and perform the Holy Light Technique for him.

No one can cure the old, not the Thirteen Priests, not the Holy Maiden, and not the Pope.

When you are old and about to return to the sea of stars, at this time, different people will have different expressions.

Merissa studied the classics and presided over the affairs of the state religion for hundreds of years, and at such times, he liked nothing more than to be lively.

Especially the liveliness related to Chen Changsheng and the National Education College.

After listening to Priest Sin's account of the incident this morning, the wrinkles on Merissa's face widened, and she said with a smile, "It's really lively." ”

Talking about it, there was a smile on the old man's face, and even those old age spots seemed to fade a little, but Priest Xin heard some loneliness.

It made him feel uneasy.
