As the leading academy in Chongyang country, Shangde Academy has high admission requirements, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is one of thousands of people.

Some people say that the qualifications of the students in the North Academy are much higher than those in the South Academy, not only has a standout, but also Gu Baichuan, who is the leader, and another person is named on the Qianlong List, ranking seventh, is a listless every day, a pair of dead fish eyes of the reading teenager, never more than five words to talk to people, even if they meet the saints of the contemporary academy, they have always been "Mr. Seen", "Mr. Something?", "Gone Mr", for the roommates is the simplest" Oh, okay, no, don't go", so he got the nickname "cherish the word slave", which is really a statement that does not speculate for more than half a sentence.

On the other hand, the scholars of the Southern Academy, their qualifications are uneven, and they can't pick up a tall one with a head and a face, although they are both leaders from all over the world, but after the comparison between the two, the difference is very obvious.

Later, the three of them became tigers, and the south and north courtyards also had the saying of the Fish Dragon Courtyard and the Jiaolong Courtyard.

At this time, there was a bungalow dormitory with a small courtyard in Yulong Courtyard, the young Jiang Huai sat in the room holding a book and reading, dressed in brand new white clothes, with the word "Shangde" outlined in gold thread printed on his chest, the fabric was soft and comfortable, the water could not invade, the fire could not be burned, no matter how it rolled, a little mud could not be stained.

The book is two classics issued by the master of the academy himself, one tells how to write and practice calligraphy, and the pen is full of flowers, and the other tells what is the text and how to condense the "Initial Explanation", which are all good books, and the teenager can't put it down for a while.

As for the gray-clothed child, he was lazily lying on the wooden board in front of the house, holding a bunch of locust leaves in his hand, his lips opened lightly, and without saying a word, he peeled off a leaf and fought to the death whether he was hungry or not.

Not far from the door, there are two people standing side by side, both wearing Shangde white clothes, the same height as Jiang Huai, but one is bloated, the other is thin and bamboo, the two are side by side, the picture is very weird.

Ding Qiu left overnight, leaving only a bag of broken silver, and after counting, there were about ten taels of silver.

Jiang Huai is no longer familiar with this place, and since he was out for the first time, he hesitated for a moment and planned to speak first.

He slowly closed the book, got up and looked at the two people approaching step by step, raised his hand and smiled: "My name is Jiang Huai, I don't know what happened to the two of you?"

The bloated little fat man touched his head and didn't speak, but the bamboo pole boy took a step forward and said with a smile: "It's nothing important, it's just that I saw that this house was brightly lit at night, and no one lived in it before, so I was a little curious." ”

The thin young man stretched out a finger and pointed at himself and then at the little fat man in front of him, "Oh yes, my name is Yu Yuanbu, a person from Cangzhou, as for this..."

The little fat man behind him directly took the lead: "My name is Jiang Tong, a native of Tai'an City." ”

Yu Yuanbu added, "The son of Hubu Shangshu, the real jade in the palm of his hand, the treasure in the palm of his hand." ”

The little fat man immediately rolled his eyes.

Yu Yuanbu sat down on the wooden board in front of the door without paying attention, stretched his waist and said comfortably: "Jiang Huai, how big is the background behind you, you can actually live in this room." ”

Jiang Huai looked around, feeling that it was no different from other places, and wondered: "How do you say this." ”

Yu Yuanbu glanced at it with his afterglow, and made sure that the other party had no intention of flirting, so he said: "Shangde Academy has always preferred to collect jade from the soil rather than rich soldiers, and the whole is divided into north and south courtyards, which is no different, but because one or two people's qualifications are too high, they forcibly raised the height of the courtyard gate, and it is said that the fish dragon courtyard and the Jiaolong courtyard have a dragon head residence, and the north courtyard is occupied by Gu Baichuan. ”

He pointed to his feet, "And the South Courtyard Dragon Leader Residence is right under your feet." ”

Yu Yuanbu's eyes became sharp, and he looked at the young man and said: "But the dragon head of the Fish Dragon Courtyard has not been inhabited for a long time, because it is not qualified, but I see that you are only a second realm, and you are one realm lower than me, so I asked who is standing behind you who can directly lift you to the sky." ”

Jiang Huai didn't avoid this hidden word, and shook his head, "No one, just me." ”

The thin young man with a bamboo pole pursed his lips, obviously not believing it, but he didn't ask more, looked up at the sky, and said with a smile: "The weather is good, go out for a walk?"

Jiang Huai was a little puzzled by this, "Why is there no early reading here, let alone a place like a study hall." ”

Jiang Tong replied, "There has never been a study hall." ”

Yu Yuanbu asked, "You really don't know?"

Jiang Huai nodded.

Yu Yuanbu grinned, his face was full of pride, and it seemed to confirm a certain idea in his heart, pointed to the door, and looked back and smiled: "Shangde Academy, as the most powerful academy in Chongyang Kingdom, naturally has something special, not to mention that there is no library, and there are not even a few gentlemen, usually they send a few books, go back and ponder by themselves, and ask if you don't understand, everyone is not an ordinary person, do you still have to talk about it word by word, and analyze it one by one?" There is no need or not, and it is worth mentioning that in fact, there are very few students living in the academy, and some of the skills are basically traveling. ”

He stretched out his finger and pointed to the word "Shangde" on his chest, focusing on polishing, "Generally speaking, no matter what your talent is, you can only stay in the academy for less than ten years, and these two words are considered to be talismans that we have not grown up, no matter where we go, from the sect and the government to the small civilian households, we will be polite, with this convenience, who doesn't want to use it." ”

This thin young man, who couldn't afford his clothes, stretched out his hand and pointed to the sky, his eyes showed excitement, and his face was full of yearning: "Give me another year or two, when I also go to the four realms and raise a fairly good object, I Yu Yuanbu will also go to be a chivalrous scholar, if I have a bigger ability in the future, I will go to see how big this world is, what Longwu country, what Xirou country, I really yearn for it." ”

Jiang Huai said approvingly: "Yangchun Mayflower, young people should travel far away." ”

Jiang Tong showed a gentle smile and said, "Not bad." ”

The gray-clothed boy threw away the locust leaves, sprinkled them on top of everyone's heads, and rolled back and forth on the wooden board to vent his dissatisfaction.

Jiang Huai shook his head and asked, "Does the academy have a cafeteria?"

Yu Yuanbu jumped up directly when he heard this, pointed to his thin body bones, and his face was full of anger, "Don't mention the woman who cooks rice, but it makes me angry, every time a whole spoonful of meat, I am stunned and shaken, and it becomes audible and invisible, otherwise I will be thin like this?"

Several people laughed.

So Jiang Tong did his best as a landlord, took a few people to an inconspicuous small shop, and ate a bowl of sour and spicy, noodles-like but silky in the mouth.

Jiang Huai didn't feel anything, but the gray-clothed boy was really full of praise, saying that this was the best thing in the world.

He was even more willing to exchange a few private gadgets such as jade beads for a few taels of silver with the boy, planning to eat a few more bowls.

Jiang Huai directly rejected this, touched Xiao Tong's head, and said with a smile: "Everything should be done in moderation, no matter how delicious things are, there will be a day when they are bored, so it is better to push this time back." ”

The gray-clothed boy immediately pursed his lips and muttered, "Then I see that you ate white steamed buns yesterday and ate them with relish." ”

The boy was speechless.

This young man who just walked out of the town, looked up and looked around as he walked, the green tile and the eaves were towering, and Qianping County was indeed too far behind.

In this prosperous place of Tai'an City, Chongyang Kingdom, on the way back to the academy for the teenager, the Peiyu engraved with "Everything is inferior, only reading is high" was held high above the head by the teenager in the palm of his hand, which was a very casual movement, but it made people feel strange.

Wisps of warm spring breeze kept blowing in front of the young man, his white clothes fluttering, and his sleeves fluttering.

The young man touched Nuan Yangyang's shoulder, turned his palm tighter, and then stopped looking at it more, strode into the Shangde Academy, but when he was about to the door, he glanced back and muttered calmly, "Sir, Shi, only you are worthy of my concern in this world, I didn't understand it before, but now I know how good it is to have someone to miss." ”

When Jiang Huai returned to the dormitory with innocence, there was already a handsome middle-aged man lying on the wooden board in front of the door.

He held the flask in one hand and his head in the other, and his eyes wandered, as if he wanted to look at the boy from beginning to end.

But just when the man used some kind of magical power, a piece of peiyu on the young man's waist suddenly flashed with golden light, and an invisible light curtain was vaguely formed in front of the young man.

The man retracted his gaze, sat cross-legged, nodded and smiled: "Sure enough, he is a disciple of Master Confucius, and the sage is generous." ”

He shook a finger and smiled: "How about selling that peiyu on your waist to me, one thousand taels!"

Jiang Huai was surprised: "One thousand taels?"

The man continued to shake his fingers and smirked, "Gold!"

Jiang Huai subconsciously patted his chest, he was really shocked, not to mention a thousand taels of gold, he had never seen a tael of gold.

The gray-clothed boy kept counting with his fingers how many bowls of sour and spicy things he could eat with a thousand taels of gold, and he couldn't count it for a while, and he jumped up angrily.

The man raised his head again and took a sip of wine, and said with a hearty smile: "Aren't you from Qianping County, Yu Zhong knows me, I am his senior brother, named He Siqi, and I am also your first teacher... People, we have an old saying, a gentleman said, a horse is hard to chase, you just need to give me that piece of jade, and immediately a thousand taels of gold will be sent to your house, and only more, not less. ”

Jiang Huai was first overjoyed when he heard the name of the county lord Yu Zhong, and then immediately fell silent, he patted Peiyu on his waist with his hand, a smile appeared on his face, and he waved his hand and said: "It's still not for sale, someone left me some silver, enough to eat, besides..."

The man pursed his lips and said, "Don't sell it", then stood up directly, his eyes narrowed and he smiled: "Listen to Ding Qiu, you actually attracted the light of Haoran like Gu Baichuan, that kid is a reverse water talisman, you are a breaking talisman, and it can be regarded as equal, but since you let out a big word in front of the courtyard master, saying that you want to trample that kid under your feet, it is like water that has been spilled, and you can't get it back."

He Siqi rubbed the wine gourd in his palm, and smiled even more, "As your teacher here, I must be responsible for you, so I have already helped you inform all the students and gentlemen of Shangde Academy, do you know what you said?"

He asked and replied to himself: "It's very simple, settle the Fish Dragon Courtyard within half a year, and step into the Hidden Dragon List within a year." ”

He Siqi looked at the hesitant young man, and shouted directly: "What about the talisman you wrote, take it out and take a look!"

Jiang Huai sighed, casually took out a piece of white rice paper from the void bag on his waist, put it in his hand, and hooked up the heroic qi dragon flying phoenix dance to write the word breaking, and the white jade on his waist suddenly emitted wisps of golden light, like lotus flowers blooming, swaying in the air.

The man didn't even look at it, he directly reached out and grabbed the white paper in the palm of his hand, and was crumpled into a ball when he pinched it, a ball of golden light exploded in his palm instantly, and the air waves rolled, but no ray of golden light could come out of the man's palm, all of them were pinched to smash, and turned into nothing.

He Siqi grinned, opened his palm and blew white air, turned his head and sneered: "I said why you, a young girl who has just learned talismans for a few days, can draw such characters, it turns out that three points rely on the true meaning of the word "break", and two points rely on the blessing of Peiyu, with these, you can't even touch the corners of Gu Xiaozi's clothes, and dare to magnify words wantonly, I really don't know how thick the sky is." ”

He turned his head to stare at the boy and shouted again, "Can you write better?!"

Jiang Huai took out a piece of white rice paper again, put his fingers together, floating up and down, and the momentum was more than that, but he was still pinched in the palm of the man's hand, and he couldn't break a fart.

It's just that after He Siqi withdrew his hand, he whispered, "Six points." ”

Then he sneered: "That's all there is to it?"

The young man who wrote two characters in a row had beads of sweat on his forehead, and his right hand trembled even more.

He gritted his teeth and pulled out a piece of rice paper again, although he could arouse Haoran's anger, he couldn't write a word.

The man jumped down from the plank, raised his head and took a sip of wine, and gently touched the young man's eyebrows with one hand, making him relax, and then snorted coldly: "I thought it was some peerless jade, what kind of bright moon, but it turned out to be just that." ”

The man turned around and strode away, turned his head and said abusively: "Jiang Huai, you are very disappointing." ”
