Chapter 5 Zixiao Mansion School
Shennong Pavilion is not the only one recruiting apprentices in the city. Tiangong Refining Building is also recruiting apprentices, and the conditions are relatively casual. The two factions do not really want some cheap labor, but Respond to the call of the city lord and give the low-level monks and mortals in the city a chance to learn skills. Only in this way will it be possible to cultivate more talented people and prosper Kunwu City.
I have to say that Tang Wenhua is actually a capable city lord. As long as it is helpful to the development of Kunwu City, he will promote it.
Tang Yue thought that he liked to make a lot of things that could not be bought now, and it was more in line with his wishes to make his own things than to make requests to the weapon refiner. Low-level craftsmen generally can't make what she wants, and high-level weapon refiners are too lazy to pay attention to her small orders, so naturally it's better for her to "do it herself and have enough food and clothing".
She went to the Tiangong Artifact Refining Building on Dongjie to sign up. The process went very smoothly. The clerks and shopkeepers in the Artifact Refining Building all knew her, but they just advised her to think twice. Being an apprentice was quite hard, and she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to bear it. He would not refuse her, after all, no one would miss this opportunity to get close to the city lord and his family.
In this way, she would go to the Shennong Pavilion to study one day a week and the Tiangong Artifact Refining Building one day a week, so her daily practice would not be delayed.
Mrs. Shui originally hoped that she would get more exposure to kendo. She herself is a practitioner of inner alchemy, but the entire Liuzhou is mainly focused on swordsmanship. Xuanyuanshan, the largest sect, is a swordsman, and Kunwu City is a swordsman city. Naturally, it is better for the city lord's daughter to practice swordsmanship.
However, since Tang Yue was seriously injured, she has followed Tang Yue more. She can do whatever she wants. Being an apprentice is better than being depressed or messing around all day like in the past. Xiang Pharmacy Say hello to the Refining Building and take good care of me.
So the apprentices who were scheduled to work with Tang Yue on the same day were relatively happy. They could benefit from the city lord's daughter, learn more, and do less. Most of the jobs given by the bosses were for practice, not trivial matters. repetitive labor.
She improved the microscope using the tool-making methods she learned in the Refining Building, and she was able to see smaller microorganisms.
With nothing to do, Tang Yue posted his observation results and microscope manufacturing methods on the viewing mirror. She also felt magical when she saw the world-viewing mirror for the first time. The world-viewing mirror looks like an ordinary hand-held bronze mirror, and it can penetrate into the mind to view the content and engrave articles. The requirements for spiritual consciousness are not high, as long as the Qi is introduced into the body, it can be used.
Lingjing is simply a crude version of a tablet computer. Although it only comes in black and white, it can automatically receive content from different newspapers and periodicals. For example, Liuzhou Continent's "Liuzhou Chronicle" and Kunwu City also have the officially published "Kunwu Di News".
Monks can also submit articles to newspapers and periodicals. There are monks who are responsible for review. Once the review is approved, it can be published. The author will receive some spiritual stones as a reward, but most monks only publish articles for fun, and cultivating immortality is their main business.
I heard that this world-viewing mirror was created by Penglaizhou Da Niu. He used the simplest materials to refine a spiritual mirror that can transmit text over long distances. When using it, you only need to put a few spiritual stones in it, and it is very effective. convenient. It seems that this powerful person is also a person with ideas. He produced such a small magic weapon with high quality and low price, which is easy to promote. Now almost every monk has a world-viewing mirror to understand the world affairs.
The newspaper published by Tang Yue is called "Xianqing Zatan". The content of this newspaper is not mainly about cultivation, alchemy, and weapon refining. Instead, it records many interesting things in life. She thought about the microscope and microorganisms were considered interesting, so I sent them out.
After one afternoon, the article was approved. The sub-editor of "Xianqing Zatan" expressed that he was very interested in her article. A high-level monk had talked about this "micro-spiritual insect" before, but the high-level monks were busy ascending and did not delve into it more.
She also said that the microscope she made is very good. High-level monks can observe microscopic insects with the naked eye due to their high cultivation. Low-level monks and mortals cannot see the existence of microscopic insects and only regard them as fabricated anecdotes. It's his fault, but the microscope she invented allows mortals to observe microscopic insects, which is really a good thing.
Tang Yue replied that she just borrowed other people's methods, and she did not want to take the credit of Leeuwenhoek. Detailed production methods were also sent to the editor-in-chief.
Over there, the young master of the Kunlun Palace, Yu Yuan, received this detailed method of making a microscope. He felt that this monk was a person who was willing to share. He happened to be in a good mood today, so he casually sent back a copy of the instructions for cultivating eyesight. I give this monk the Dharma Judgment and hope he can write more articles about micro-spirit insects. Most people in the world know nothing about micro-spirit insects. With his articles, "Xia Qing Tan" can add some exclusive content.
Tang Yue was greatly surprised when he received the decree. Is it possible that the atmosphere in the world of immortality is so good, with everyone willing to teach and share knowledge? I also thought that the monks in the city often fought to the death for a share of the magic skills and magic skills. I guess it was because the editor-in-chief had a noble personal character and liked to help others.
Young Palace Master Yu Yuan would have laughed to death hearing her comments, some people actually said he was a good person.
The next day, her mother came to discuss with her about going to Zixiao Mansion School.
Although she is not yet able to use spiritual energy freely and has not reached the first level of Qi refining, generally speaking, she will not go to the monk academy to listen to lectures. But Xiu Erdai always gets special treatment, not to mention that the city lord doesn't want her to be "idle" all day long, so he wants to arrange for her to go to class, which is no different from parents in modern society who think their children are too idle and send them to tutoring.
Tang Yue felt that systematic study was a good thing, so he agreed to go to the school. Zixiao Mansion recruits its own disciples, and is also responsible for the teaching of monks in the city. It is equivalent to the university in Kunwu City, accepting outstanding monks in the city, regardless of their origins. The paths that monks practice vary widely, and there is always general knowledge to learn. For example, the Alchemy Cauldron Talisman, Formation Physiognomy, and Taoist classics, the insights and experiences of our ancestors, so the existence of schools is still necessary.
The monks who came out of Zixiao Mansion have a connection with Zixiao Mansion. They can build a relationship when they go out to report their families, so the status of Zixiao Mansion in the hearts of the people of Kunwu City is not high. Low, both casual cultivators and disciples from aristocratic sects are vying for admission, taking pride in their achievements in Kunwu City's number one school.
Tang Yue did not go to school alone today. Yue Yanling was naturally sent to go to school with her. Shang Fanling, the only daughter of the owner of the Shennong Pavilion, also came to the City Lord's Mansion. She is the wife of the City Lord and is worried that Tang Yue will not go to school alone. Adapt, specially invited.
Disciples in the qi-refining period can only take one course, "General Knowledge of Taoism", which is taught by Jindan monks. The purpose is to let the disciples in the qi-refining period know more about various Taoist paths, and learn more about them in the golden elixir stage. It's time to decide which path you want to take.
Most of the monks in Kunwu City practiced swordsmanship. After Shui Yingrou married, she brought many monks from other disciplines, so there were more monks practicing alchemy talismans and refining weapons in the city.
Today's class is for swordsmanship monks to teach their swordsmanship skills. Yue Yanling usually does not listen to swordsmanship lessons, but Shang Fanling has already listened. The two of them came specifically to accompany Tang Yue in class. The course "General Knowledge of Taoism" is very interesting. Various Tao-related contents are taught in a cyclical manner. If you miss this section of this issue, you can listen to the next one. It does not force the disciples to attend the class, as long as the disciples listen Just do whatever is useful to you, and take the exam at the end of the year in the direction you have studied.
Tang Yue did not expect that the study arrangements of the Monk School were so free and flexible. This kind of curriculum was still very scientific.
There was still a little time before class, and Tang Yue chatted with the two of them: "Two senior sisters, this is my first time coming to the school to attend a class. Is there anything I need to pay attention to?"
Yue Yanling answered first: " Junior sister, it’s nothing special. Don’t make any noise in class. Remember the key points and just take the exam at the end of the year. This class is taught by Jindan Sword Cultivator. It should be helpful to your future practice.”
Yue Yan. Ling thought that Tang Yue must be able to practice kendo. In the original book, Tang Yue did practice kendo. Now she has not decided which way to practice. She smiled back and said, "Okay, I will listen carefully."
< br>Shang Fanling usually doesn't like to talk, simply "As Junior Sister Yue said, there are not many rules in the Qi training period, just listen carefully."
Afterwards, a few people chatted for a while, and suddenly she left A man could be heard asking loudly: "Tang Yue, you didn't even apologize to your sister, so you came to the school so shamelessly and appeared in front of the public?"
She turned around and saw that it was a woman in person. The young man in blue brocade clothes, about 12 years old, with an ordinary face, stood by the table with an expression filled with indignation. "Who are you? Why can't I come to this school? Is the school run by your family?"
The young man was very angry when he heard that she didn't remember him, "You actually Relying on the identity of the city lord's lady, I am arrogant!"
Tang Yue snorted lightly, naturally he must be worthy of this second-generation Xiu status, "Since you know that I am the daughter of the city lord, you should understand that this school belongs to me. The Qionghua Hall established by my father and managed by my mother is allocating funds. Why can’t I, the city lord, come here? Do you want to be the city lord and drive me out of the city?” His expression became even more excited, "You are talking nonsense, how could I offend the city lord!"
At this time, Tang Wan, who was behind the young man, stood up and said, "Sister, how can you slander Junior Brother Jinbao?" Tang Yue realized that the heroine was also here, and she was offended as soon as she opened her mouth.
"Sister, what do you mean by this? I don't know this person. He wants to expel me from the school as soon as he comes. Are you coming to help her bully me?" She had tears in her eyes, With an aggrieved look on her face, she asked Yue Yanling next to her who was this person? She really couldn't remember the plot of passers-by A, B, and C.
Yue Yanling stepped forward and whispered to her: "This is Chen Jinbao, the third disciple of the Master of Zixiao Mansion. We will attend banquets in the city together during holidays. How come you don't recognize him?"< br>
Tang Yue still didn't think about it, but he remembered that the master of Zixiao Mansion was the senior brother of the city lord. He had a very domineering personality and had always disliked his mother as a woman who could manage things in the city. Luo Jianye, the eldest disciple of Zixiao Mansion, is an extremely straight man. He has always looked down on female cultivators. He believes that women cannot cultivate Taoism, nor can they succeed in Taoism. They should return to their homes to raise their children and take care of housework.
Zixiao Mansion prefers Xuanyuan Mountain, and has always been on good terms with Zhuang Qiaohui, who was born in a remote area of Xuanyuan Mountain. She feels that the city lord’s wife should be as gentle and virtuous as Zhuang Qiaohui. She usually takes care of the heroine Tang Wan, and looks at Shui Yingrou. Tang Yue and her daughter are not happy with each other. Chen Jinbao came today to find a place for Tang Wan. Tang Yue had stayed at home for more than a month and followed her mother when she went out. They couldn't find such an opportunity for her to admit her mistake in public.
Tang Wan felt that Tang Yue's eloquence had improved a lot, and he was not as impatient as before after saying a few words, but his reputation could not be ruined like this, "Sister, why did you say that to me? I'm just being reasonable. "
"Sister, please be honest, why is this person expelling me from the school on my first day?"
Chen Jinbao answered with a blushing face. : "You designed to frame your sister into danger, and instead of apologizing to her, you appeared in the school openly and ruined the atmosphere. I want you to apologize to Junior Sister Wan in public!"
"Why did you frame her so falsely? "Me, everyone knows that I have been seriously injured and have been recuperating for more than a month. Could it be that I did this on purpose?" Tang Yue cried softly, with a look of aggrievement on her face. That was the wrong thing Tang Yue did in the original book, and she had something to do with Tang Yue in the book. What's the relationship? .
"Could it be that your Zixiao Mansion is so powerful that it can no longer accommodate my mother and me, so you want to embarrass me in public in this school and ruin my reputation so that we can be expelled from the city in the future?" Tang Yue The shocking words frightened everyone in the school. Although everyone knew that secretly this might be what happened today. The Zixiao Mansion and the City Lord's Madam's family had been fighting for a long time, but no one had made it clear so straightforwardly.
Tang Wan felt that something was wrong and hurriedly said: "Sister, it's not as serious as you said. It's just that Jinbao has a strong sense of justice and wants to seek justice for me."
Tang Yue ignored Tang Wan's language trap. "Chen Jinbao, my mother has worked hard since she married into Kunwu City. She has contributed money and effort to the development of Kunwu City. The clothes you are wearing today were made by my mother with money given to Zixiao Mansion! How can you be so ungrateful? That’s it for humiliating our mother and daughter!”
She doesn’t care whether what Chen Jinbao is wearing today is correct. Anyway, Mrs. Shui did give money to make a Taoist uniform for a disciple of Zixiao Mansion, and Chen Jinbao How could such a serious second-generation dude remember where his clothes came from today?
"I, Tang Yue, came to the school for the first time today. I have no grievances against you, but your Zixiao Mansion is so aggressive that you drove our mother and daughter out of the city and crossed the river and demolished the bridge. Is there justice for our mother and daughter? Where? "
Yue Yanling and Shang Fanling were standing behind her. Although they knew that the matter should not be so serious, when it came to this, the city lord's wife had no place in the city. The problem is, naturally, you have to stand behind Tang Yue and not retreat. Both of their disciples came to Kunwu City with the city lord's wife, so they naturally had to live and die with the city lord's wife.
Everyone was horrified that things had taken a turn for the worse and become so serious. Chen Jinbao was even more anxious, but he was usually a fool and had no quick wits at this time. He could only suppress his blush. Speechless.
"Chen Jinbao, if you think you are just and want to seek fairness and justice, then you can come and I will stand here. If you dare not seek this justice, you are deliberately slandering Defamation, with the intention of driving the city lord’s wife out of the city, and leaving me, the lady of the city lord’s mansion, to live on the streets. Please publicly apologize to me and the city lord’s wife!”
The matter actually developed to the point of a duel in the school, and other students hesitated whether they should do it! If you step forward to stop it, which side should you help?
Chen Jinbao was so stimulated that he could not speak coherently, "Tang Yue, you, don't think that I don't dare!"
What Tang Yue wants is that he dares, "If you don't dare , you are a coward!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Jinbao raised his sword to chop him down. Chen Jinbao was a little older, and he usually drank elixirs and spirit soup. He was already at the eighth level of Qi training. The key was that the spirit sword he held was of a good grade. Tang Yue would be seriously injured at least if he struck with a sword.
At this moment, Tang Wan's eyes flickered and he did not stop. Yue Yanling was frightened at the side and did not move. Senior Sister Shang wanted to step forward to block the sword, but Tang Yue reached out to stop her and did not let her step forward. .
Just as the sword was about to fall, there was a loud bang, and Chen Jinbao was bounced away. In a burst of smoke and dust, he hit the beam in the hall hard. The whole house trembled. Fortunately, Strong and not collapsed. When the smoke dissipated, Chen Jinbao vomited blood, changed beyond recognition, and fell unconscious on the ground. .
Tang Yue took the opportunity before everyone could react, and ran out crying: "Senior Brother Chen, I wanted to argue with you, but you actually raised your sword to kill me. If I hadn't been wearing a defensive magic weapon, , I have long since become a dead soul under your sword. This Zixiao Mansion really cannot accommodate us, mother and daughter."
Then she ran out of the school. She must not stay and wait to be punished, but she had to. Go back to Lady Water to take shelter.
She waited outside the door for a while to see if Yue Yanling and Shang Fanling came out. They could easily be implicated inside. If they didn't come out, she would find a handyman to call them out.
But the two of them came out soon after, saying that such a big thing had happened and they had to send her back home first to feel at ease.
Also, Mrs. Shui needs to appease the two senior sisters and leave some words for the teacher before they dare to go back and explain. Today's matter is not trivial. It is actually related to the survival of the sect in Kunwu City. It is really not something that small Qi-refining period disciples like them can bear.
