Chapter 10: Shinshu Castle
(Ask for collection, ask for recommendation)
When I returned to the post station in Longhu Town under the Shangqing Palace, I inquired and found that the delegation headed by Taiwei Hong Xin had returned to Beijing many days ago. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Before Info left, due to Ruan Xiaoer's inexplicable disappearance, they searched for two days. If you can't find it, forget it, a miscellaneous servant with no spiritual power is just a subordinate, lost, fled, or died, there are not many people who care.
Only Lu Huzi left a letter, telling Ruan Xiaoer that if he came back to see this letter, he would go back and explain to everyone if he had the chance, so that the Taiwei Mansion might be re-admitted to him. At the end of the letter, Lu Huzi also happily said that due to the smooth completion of the mission, Taiwei and the others were in a good mood, and Cheng Ying said that he would find a way to help him get the elixir and open up spiritual power.
Land Rover Zi also has his own creation, and Ruan Xiaoer is very happy for him. Now, too, he is looking for his own creation.
In his heart, he didn't fully believe in the words of the Xujing Patriarch. But he was born with a competitive heart, and he also has his own path of hope, and now he can get a recommendation from the Spiritual Academy, and he can study and study, which is already green smoke on the ancestral grave.
You must know that like some well-known spiritual courtyards, even many children of the family have to break their heads and compete to enter.
And the White Deer Spiritual Courtyard is one of the more famous ones, and even Ruan Xiaoer, who is far away in Beijing, is familiar with it. Its status in the hearts of the Lingshi is no less than that of Peking University Tsinghua University in later generations. It is said that a princess and a prince under the knee of Emperor Song studied in it. Although he doesn't have spiritual power yet, as long as he enters this spiritual academy with a letter of recommendation from the Void Jing Heavenly Master, he is still afraid that the dean of the spiritual academy will not give him a few good spiritual pills?
Ten days later, Ruan Xiaoer arrived at Shinju City. Xinzhou City is a large city in the Jiangxi region, with a population of one million, a prosperous martial style, a large number of talents, and a large number of various forces. In addition to the official forces of the local government, there are also many sects of Xiuzhen and spiritual cultivation, various spiritual monasteries, gang forces, etc.
The letter of recommendation given by the Xujing Patriarch recommended him to study in the local premier spiritual institute, the Bailu Spiritual Academy.
Due to the war between the human race and foreign races, demonic beasts and spirit beasts, since ancient times, the spiritual courtyard has not only been a place for young people to enlighten and practice, but also a battlefield for growth and exercise. The subjects of the Spiritual Academy are generally divided into force, law, calligraphy, royalty, archery, mathematics, etc. Force, that is, the cultivation of spiritual power is mainly based on strength, focusing on the strength of strength and the strength of the body; Fa, that is, the cultivation of spiritual power is mainly in the direction of spiritual law, focusing on the practice of spells and spiritual skills; books are to read and write, and to learn all kinds of cultural knowledge, especially the history, geography, products, and medicines of all kinds of people and demons that are most popular in the mainland; Yu is the art of control, learning to control ordinary mounts and even demonic beasts and spirit beasts; archery, generally refers to archery, and later developed into hidden weapons, traps, etc.; number, is calculation, Computing power was later extended to the science of strategy.
The study of these six major fields has allowed the human race to obtain a complete spiritual inheritance from generation to generation, from childhood to adulthood, and it is also the foundation for human beings to survive and reproduce in this magnificent continent of gods and demons. It can be said that the spiritualists who have a little bit of talent in the human race have all studied and cultivated in various academies.
There are many colleges in the Shinshu area, and there are four representative colleges: Bailu, Xiangshan, Ehu, and Lianxi.
Shinshu Castle is very prosperous, and it is also a place of cultivation. Ruan Xiaoer entered the city in the morning, and he was not in a hurry to go to Bailu Academy, but walked around first. He mainly went to the bazaar of the spirits, and saw many magic weapons used by the spirits for sale, as well as some monster leather goods and magic weapon shops. Although I don't have the money to buy it, I have a lot of knowledge.
The most important thing was to go to a few elixir shops, where he really saw an ordinary elixir called the elixir. This kind of elixir is considered a relatively low-level elixir among the elixirs, and the effect it possesses is only that an ordinary person can have a trace of spiritual power and become a junior elixir. But even such an elixir can easily start at a price of tens of taels of gold.
You must know that one or two pieces of gold can only be saved by an ordinary person for a year without eating or drinking.
In other words, an ordinary family can afford to buy a pill of life without eating or drinking for the rest of their lives. Moreover, this is only the entry threshold for spiritual monks, and the other elixirs, weapons, equipment, magic weapons, spiritual pets, etc., which are by no means affordable for ordinary people.
Therefore, in addition to innate spiritual power, it is difficult for ordinary people to cross the threshold of the Spiritual Pill. This is also the most important reason why the number of mortals is a thousand, ten thousand times that of spiritual people today.
"Go away, go away, you've been looking at it for a long time, if you want to buy it, bring the money. If you don't buy it, don't delay our business. "The shopkeeper can't look at it, a young man, who is also handsome, always staring blankly at the elixir on his counter. Everybody wants to be a spiritual person, and to become a spiritual person is a spiritual person, and that comes at a price.
"Shopkeeper, I don't have any money right now. It doesn't mean that there will be no money in the future. Ruan Xiaoer said with a smile, "Why don't you give me this elixir first, and after I become a spiritual priest, I will find a way to make money and pay you back." ”
Seeing that the shopkeeper stared at himself, he didn't say anything, and said with a smile: "Why don't I pay in installments, pay some money as a down installment first, and then pay you back some every other month, plus interest, until it is paid off?"
"Fart!" the shopkeeper said unceremoniously, "How can you afford such a valuable thing as the Spirit Pill? How do I know if you have any money to pay me back after you become a spirit warrior? Among the spirit soldiers, there are many poor people! Make a little money, and use it to improve your own strength! Pay back the money? Hey, don't count on it!"
It seems that this boss has suffered similar losses before. After Ruan Xiaoer turned around, he carefully counted the money he had saved over the years by running errands in the Taiwei Mansion, which was okay, and sometimes he would get some rewards, and now it adds up to fifteen taels of silver. A hundred taels of silver for a tael of gold, and a tael of silver for a hundred copper coins. One copper coin can buy two flatbreads, or four steamed buns.
However, this money is still far from the money needed for the elixir. Forget it.
I have a letter of recommendation from the Xujing Patriarch on my body, I'm afraid of a ball, and when the time comes, throw the recommendation letter written by the Xujing Patriarch himself in front of the dean of the Spiritual Academy, hehe, what is the spirit pill that can make people produce spiritual power!
Now I don't sell it to grandpa, and grandpa doesn't want it anymore, and I can save some money!
After hastily eating lunch and asking for the address, Ruan Xiaoer prepared to go to the White Deer Spiritual Courtyard where the western suburbs of Xinzhou City were located. But before he left the city, he was not attracted by a strange scene.
A large open space in the West City Gate, which can be regarded as a square, is divided into four stalls, each stall has a strong spiritual warrior sitting in the town, placing tea, food, and even more people performing martial arts, each attracting a large group of people. Looking at the back of each stall, there is a high flagpole, and the flagpole is written with words such as "Bailu Lingyuan Admissions Office", "Xiangshan Lingyuan Admissions Office", "Goose Lake Lingyuan Admissions Office", "Lianxi Lingyuan Admissions Office" and so on. Among the four groups of people, there are some clever ones, who from time to time introduce to the young immortals who look like people passing by, and try their best to win them over, it seems that they are competing for a source of life.
There were also some young spirituals who were soliciting something from people who came and went.
"Big brother, are those people from the Four Great Spiritual Courtyards, what are they doing?" Ruan Xiaoer pulled a young spiritual priest and asked.
