Chapter 43 Strange Artifacts
"Eat modest, healthy ・・・・・・"
Zhuge Jing said with a fluttering look in his eyes, but Xia Ziying simply threw down the chopsticks and returned with a straight face:
"I can't get healthy by eating this, I want to eat meat!"
"Ziying, don't make trouble. ”
Xiao Feng looked at Zhuge Jing's embarrassed face, and hurriedly spoke out to relieve the siege, but Xia Ziying stared and said:
"I think it's your hall master who doesn't want to see us newcomers, a huge imperial academy, actually gives people this kind of food!"
"Our boss eats the same as us. ”
Cheng Qian hurriedly explained, he was stupid, he was anxious but couldn't say clearly, his eyes were as wide as a copper bell, and it looked more like anger, Xia Ziying sneered twice, and his fingers knocked on the table:
"Isn't it just money, I have it, I don't want to treat myself badly. ”
Saying that, Xia Ziying took out the money bag from her waist, and the bag fell on the table and made a crisp golden sound, which looked heavy, as if there was a lot of money.
"Even if you have money, it's useless, in the academy, money can't be used as money. ”
Zhuge Jing sighed, and then explained:
"All the expenses in the academy must be exchanged for spirit stones, ordinary meals, clothing, and books for study, training weapons, and equipment, what can be seen and thought of, can not be purchased with gold coins, this is the tradition of the Imperial Academy since its establishment, it is not a secret, after deducting the necessary expenses for you, the remaining spirit stones can only prepare such a meal, I am really embarrassed. ”
"Can't you buy spirit stones? I don't believe that no one in such a big academy sells spirit stones?"
Xia Ziying pouted, with an exaggerated expression, but Zhuge Jing's expression changed, and he said very seriously:
"Spirit stones must not be purchased privately, once discovered, both buyers and sellers will be expelled from the academy, and this is not the most serious, the serious thing is that the academy will issue a statement, as long as the statement comes out, the major sects will cut off contact with you, and the imperial court will also put you on the list of never hiring, so you don't have to think about it, no matter how strong your background is, don't try to confront the academy. ”
This zuihou sentence was obviously what Zhuge Jing warned Xia Ziying, Xia Ziying was still stubborn, but Xiao Feng glanced at her, and then asked curiously:
"Then since the spirit stone can't be purchased with money, where does it come from? ”
"The academy will release a variety of tasks every day, there are those who solve the problems of cultivation, there are those who collect herbs, and there are also those who compete in martial arts, and after completing these tasks, you can get a certain number of spirit stones, and the academy has allocated a certain amount of spirit stones to the Five Elements Academy, but don't think that spirit stones are very profitable, and when you practice for a period of time and pass the dragon test, you will use a large number of spirit stones, and then high-level spells and martial arts will need to be exchanged for spirit stones, and even the venue for practicing martial arts must pay spirit stones to be able to use them. ”
The big guys are all smart people, no one understands Zhuge Jing's explanation, the spirit stone is actually replacing gold coins as a common currency, the intention is to remove the influence of family background on the students, so that the students can understand the truth of hard work, Xiao Feng likes this set quite much, at least it sounds very fair.
"It's so troublesome..."
Xia Ziying let out a long sigh and lay on the table with a depressed expression, but Xiao Feng picked up the vegetables and put them in Xia Ziying's bowl with a smile:
"Eat this meal first, and I'll find a way to change the meat for you later. ”
"Okay. ”
Xia Ziying pouted in response, and reluctantly ate this very idyllic meal.
Today is the first day of enrollment at Imperial Academy, and it is also the first day of Zuihou, this general examination, which will only be conducted once every three years, ended at an extraordinary speed, and for Xiao Feng, a new life can be regarded as the official beginning, at least he has gradually gotten rid of the psychological shadow brought to him by Skull Island.
Originally, Xiao Feng was going to go back after eating, but Zhuge Jing said that there was something very important to show everyone, so Xiao Feng dispelled the idea of going home immediately, Xiao Mo and Xiao Ke still lived in Guo Lan's house, and there was no problem with the big god, so Xiao Feng agreed.
"Big brother, are we destined by God?"
Bai Zhao Tu Su was full of sighs and lay on the wooden railing, this is the back of the Shenmu Hall, the open-air corridor is like a long terrace, Xiao Feng looked at the night that had darkened, I don't know what the place was in the distance, the lights were bright, the singing and dancing were wonderful, Xiao Feng was muttering how there was a wine shop in the Imperial Academy, and he was stunned for a moment when he heard Bai Zhao Tu Su's words.
"That's not it, we are destined for fate, otherwise we wouldn't have met twice by such a coincidence. ”
Xiao Feng returned after being stunned, Tu Su nodded thoughtfully, but suddenly looked at Xiao Feng with a resentful expression.
"What do you mean?"
Xiao Feng was a little dazed, on this poetic night, talking about fate with such a demonic~rao man made his scalp a little numb.
"I think you have a deeper fate with Xia Xiaoman, how can God be like this, we are brothers who have worshipped, she is a girl, what kind of fun. ”
Tu Su's face was depressed, Xiao Feng coughed dryly, and asked blankly:
"Who is Xia Xiaoman?"
"Who else, it's Xia Ziying, you see how she has the demeanor of a young lady of a family, she is completely a female bandit, an old lady, if it weren't for the eldest brother you said that she was Miss Xia, I wouldn't believe it at all. ”
"This, Xiao Xia, is a bit of a character, but the person is not bad. ”
Xiao Feng said curtly, Tu Su and Xia Ziying had long been at odds, but he didn't expect Tu Su to complain to him like a child, which made him a little distressed, he was only eighteen years old, and no matter how much he experienced, he was still a young man, so he could only respond vaguely.
"I'm a bandit, what are you? Do I speak ill of people behind my back?"
Xia Ziying came out of a hole and said with a dark face.
Tu Su obviously didn't expect Xia Ziying to come, and his expression suddenly fell into embarrassment, Xiao Feng immediately felt that he was afraid that he would not be able to be quiet in the future.
"You're all here, let me look for it for a while, come on, our boss is going to take you to see the artifact of Shenmu Hall. ”
Just when the atmosphere was extremely embarrassing, Zhuge Jing suddenly landed in the sky, Xiao Feng greeted him with a smile on his face, and the two of them came over with a tense sword.
"Brother Zhuge , there is still an artifact in this Shenmu Hall?"
Xiao Feng and Zhuge Jing walked together, Xia Ziying hugged Xiao Feng's arm tightly, Tu Su could only follow behind, Zhuge Jing glanced at Xia Ziying, who had an unkind face, and whispered back:
"The reason why Shenmu Hall is called Shenmu Hall is because we have a unique artifact from the Imperial Academy, and other halls don't have it, and their most haode is just a Tianzi-level spiritual weapon. ”
Zhuge Jing said proudly.
"What if you have an artifact, it's not sealed, it's not even as good as a burning stick. ”
Xia Ziying's faint words made Zhuge Jing's face suddenly stagnant, Xiao Feng looked at him with an embarrassed expression as if he had choked on a whole steamed bun, and he couldn't bear to pull Xia Ziying, and said in a low voice:
"Even if it's sealed, it's an artifact. ”
"Yes, yes, yes. ”
Zhuge Jing nodded again and again, and then never mentioned anything again, Xiao Feng couldn't help but helplessly skim Xia Ziying, this young lady from this family doesn't save face at all when she speaks, that is, Zhuge Jing is easy-going by nature, which can make her bury like this again and again.
There was nothing to say all the way, the four people were stunned like strangers to the treasure pavilion of the Shenmu Hall, said that it was the treasure pavilion, in fact, it was a deeper cave, the cave looked very old, as soon as it came in, it gave people a mysterious feeling, the cave was lit with a brazier, and the other rooms of the Shenmu Hall were not the same, there was no decoration in it, the top of the cave and the mountain wall were carved with complex spells, a series of yellow paper and red paper were wrapped around the roof of the cave, it looked like an altar.
"Boss, I brought them here. ”
Zhuge Jing shouted at the dark room, only to hear a lazy voice answer, and then after a minute, a woman in a green gauze dress walked out, not long after she came out, Mu Manlou also walked out of it.
"I couldn't find you, so I came first. ”
Mu Manlou explained in a low voice, Xiao Feng nodded, not careless, but looked at the Shenmu Hall Master who he had never seen a face.
"I, Gong Rumei, am the hall master of this Shenmu Hall, that is, your boss, if you have anything in the future, look for Brother Jing, don't come to me, I'm very busy. ”
"Boss, this is the altar, pay attention. ”
Zhuge Jing patted his head, and his dead heart was gone.
"I said you just brought it over, you have to drag me here, I have to sleep several times at this time, the artifact is in that box, you can look at it casually, just put it back after reading it, don't show off the artifact if you have anything to do, if you are found by those dead ghosts, I can't save you." ”
Gong Rumei waved her hand impatiently, and then walked straight out, Xiao Feng kept staring at her, this is a very gentle-looking woman, not stunning, but her facial features are very exquisite, especially the lazy look, as if revealing infinite charm, Xiao Feng couldn't help but look straight.
"Get out of my way, don't get in my way. ”
Xiao Feng just blocked Gong Rumei's way out, pretty~ her face raised slightly, and Gong Rumei said tepidly.
Xiao Feng hurriedly said "oh", then staggered away, Gong Rumei walked over, and then turned his head again.
"You guy seems to have caused a lot of trouble, but since you came to my Shenmu Hall, you are my Gong Rumei's junior brother, if Yuwen Chengcai and Xia Wanying make trouble for you, you let Brother Jing inform me. ”
"Oh, good. ”
This lazy woman at any time was very oppressive when she said this, Xiao Feng nodded involuntarily, and then watched her leave the cave.
"The boss is relatively slow, but he is still concerned about the affairs of the school, with her guarantee, what should you do in the future, if Yuwen Chengcai doesn't know each other, he is good-looking. ”
Zhuge Jing saved Gong Rumei's image, and said proudly, Xiao Feng nodded, and then pointed to a long box on the high platform over there and said:
"Let's look at the artifact. ”
"Good. ”
Zhuge Jing walked over with a holy face and held the box over, everyone was a little excited and nervous, even Xia Ziying was the same, after all, several of them were the first time to see the magical appearance with their own eyes, and in the anticipation and excitement in their hearts, Zhuge Jing opened the box, but everyone who was staring at the box was surprised, and they were all stunned.
