Lingzhou Canglong Mansion.

In Wenxin's twelve states, Lingzhou ranks fourth in terms of area, Lingzhou ranks tenth in terms of spiritual resources, and Lingzhou ranks second in terms of economy.

This place is located to the south of Wenxin. It is a remote place in the far east like Qiongzhou. However, it is closer to Suoyun Island in terms of geographical location, forming an important sea corner with no end.

Starting from Wuyajiao, sail all the way along the coastline and arrive at Yahai Country in 30 days.

Yahai and Wenxin are not connected on land, but they can be reached directly by sea. The advantage of the route allows for a huge amount of maritime trade here, which makes Lingzhou the most important economic state in Wenxin country. Therefore, despite the lack of aura here, the status should not be neglected.

Canglong Mansion is the location of Lingzhou's state meeting, and it is also the most prosperous place in Lingzhou. There are the largest sea-going ship in Wenxin Country, the most upscale restaurant, the most luxurious inn and the most beautiful bitch.

On Changsheng Street, a young man was walking on the street at this moment. It was Tang Jie.

He didn't listen to Xu Muyang's all the way to the north, but immediately turned to the south after leaving Anyang Mansion in the north, and went all the way south.

Xu Muyang asked him to go north because Xiyue Academy was in the north, and he wanted him to go to school. However, Tang Jie knew that the Heavenly God Palace would not get the Xuan Bing Jian, and would never let him go. He traveled solo, and his deeds were too obvious, so he immediately changed his direction after a shot, and walked the mountain trails all the way, night dawn. Lodging.

This trick is not complicated, but very practical.

No one thought that a twelve-year-old boy would play this hand. Most people who pursued him would seek him from the north, and there were very few people in the south. Naturally, he could not be found in every inch of land in Wenxin Country.

Another reason for traveling south was that there was no recommendation from Xu Muyang, and it was difficult for Tang Jie to enter the Moonwashing Academy.

Xiyue Academy only enrolls 1,500 disciples each year.

But even among these 1,500 disciples, at least 100,000 are pursuing them.

This doesn’t even consider those who can’t even pay for tuition.

The tuition fee of the Cleansing Moon Academy is 300 cash per year.

Spirit money is the basic currency used by immortal cultivators. If calculated according to the official value, a spirit money is only equivalent to one or two silver, but in fact, it is difficult for mortals to exchange it. Therefore, in private transactions, the actual value of spiritual money is reversed. Three to five times.

In other words, the monthly tuition fee for the entry-level college only needs more than one million yuan each year, which is only the entry fee, and the subsequent expenses will be even more severe. In fact, the entry fee of the Washing Moon Academy is not profitable, but the subsequent various expenses are not easy to say, and there is quite a secular concept of selling peripherals.

The reason for this is that from the very beginning, the academy was founded to satisfy the desire of mortals to seek immortality.

In the earliest period, each martial art faction actually selected the disciples within the faction based on the detection of the foundation.

However, various schools soon discovered that this method had many disadvantages.

Cultivation of immortals definitely needs a foundation, but it is not the only foundation. It's like people want achievement, IQ must have, but I don't only rely on IQ, there are always people who have ordinary qualifications but make extraordinary achievements.

For ordinary people who have not been able to get started, this has become the best basis for the theory of aptitude uselessness, so they are dissatisfied with the selection method of the only foundation. It is not one's own fault to say that it is impossible to cultivate, but that the immortal faction is too pedantic and conservative, clinging to the foundation. Since the world has bad foundations and successful cultivation, who can say that he is not one of them?

The fact is that although there are such existences, but the number of them is very small, it is not worth imitating at all.

However, the world is ignorant and always thinks that others can perform miracles, and so can oneself.

When Xianmen refuses, it is inevitable to have resentment towards Xianmen.

In order to avoid too many disputes with the dunya, to maintain its image, and to facilitate its rule, Xianmen finally adopted a compromise method, which was to set up a Xiuxian Academy, claiming that all mortals in the world can be admitted to the school, as long as they reach a certain level of achievement.

This method can be described as killing four birds with one stone.

For one thing, it avoided the prejudice of the foolish man of the world, thinking that the sect does not give a chance.

Secondly, it also saves the effort to identify the foundation of the disciple. Identifying the foundation of a disciple is not just a matter of touching two. It also requires the elders of the martial arts to take the initiative and consume resources to test their qualifications.

Thirdly, it can also add an extra income to the martial art. Parents all over the world have the same heart, cultivating the Tao for their children is willing to devote their life savings. If you don't accept it, he will annoy you and blame you for not giving you a chance. As for his inability to learn, it is because his family is incompetent and cannot blame the sect, and the elders in the family are also dead.

In the end, it is indeed possible to avoid missing some disciples who are not well-founded but talented. After all, those who can reach the stipulations of the martial art, no matter what the foundation, are always worth creating.

However, there are also some schools that think that this practice is too mundane. The immortal cultivator is a world-class expert and is admired by the world. How can you follow the secular approach to start an academy?

If everyone has the opportunity to cultivate immortals, wouldn't the immortals lower their worth?

But the facts have proved that only by opening the door can we recruit talents, and those who are obscured and conservative will eventually be eliminated by the times.

The reason why the six major sects, including the Moon Cultivation Tianshen Palace, can become the strongest sect in Qixia Realm, is that in addition to their strong background, they are also the first to make changes that will eventually achieve their current dominance. And those stubborn and conservative schools, because of the lack of disciples and the lack of green and yellow, eventually gradually fell silent and disappeared in the long river of history.

However, in the long process of evolution, Xiyue Academy has gradually changed from an academy for all ordinary people to an academy controlled by the wealthy and powerful. It can be said that it is difficult and difficult for poor children to enter.

Of course, Xiuxian does not mean that there is only this way, but it is difficult to enter the Xiyue Academy, and other immortal gates may not be easy to enter.

Just like Xu Muyang, Tang Jie had been with him for so long, and he couldn't get the fairy law. Almost all of the immortal masters who came out of the sect vowed not to pass on the immortal law of their sect. When God opened one door for mortals, he often closed another door.

As Wenxin’s best and most promising righteous way of cultivating immortals, Xiyue Academy is therefore also the most competitive and even the most tragic!

All in all, the poor to cultivate literature, the rich to martial arts, and the immortal to be poor for three generations!

Fairy roads are difficult, and just one entrance to school is enough to make most people daunting.

When it comes to money, Tang Jie still has it.

The blue light sword Xu Muyang gave him is a good magic weapon, and its value is not low, but selling this sword is equivalent to exposing himself. Secondly, Xu Muyang gave it to him, and he was reluctant to sell it. What's more, even if he has money, he doesn't have that way to get in.

Unless he has the ninth rank of Yumen and is exceptionally talented, he can be admitted exceptionally.

Therefore, if you want to enter the academy, you must find another way.

After finally following Xu Muyang for half a year, Tang Jie had long been ignorant of the world of cultivating immortals, so he had already had a complete plan before he came.

Walking on Changsheng Street at this moment, Tang Jie saw a restaurant not far away, and it was quite lively with people coming and going. Tang Jie walked in, sat at a table and ordered some small dishes, and then ate and drank by himself.

He was not in a hurry. He only ate and drank slowly. When the meal passed, the guests gradually disappeared. Tang Jie waved to Xiao Er and took out a few coins and put it in his palm: "Little brother, there is a problem. I also need to ask."

The little second eyebrows put away the copper coins with a smile: "What's the order of the guest officer?"

"I came to Canglong Mansion for the first time, and I am not familiar with many things here. I want to find someone to find out about it."

"What does the guest officer want to know?"

"A lot, but I most want to know which family has the most status in this Canglong Mansion."

"This..." The little second hesitated.

Tang Jie smiled and stuffed a few more coins in the past: "Don't get me wrong, do you think I am like Jiang Yang thieves?"

That Xiaoer looked at Tang Jie, he looked like a young man, he really did not look like a wicked person, and the real Jiangyang thieves were unlikely to inquire in this way, so he said at ease: "There are five people in the Canglong Mansion. Jin, Zhang, Gu, Wei, and Zhou are called one in Canglong Mansion. It can be said that half of the wealth of Canglong Mansion belongs to these five great masters."

"Tell me in detail." Tang Jie pointed to the dishes on the table.

The little Er saw that there were no guests, so he simply sat down, picked up his chopsticks and ate while saying: "This Canglong Mansion is the largest family, the Jin family is the first. The Jin family started as a boat, and now the sea on the pier There are six boats in ten. They are either owned by or controlled by his Jin family. There are more than a dozen immortal cultivators under their hands. That’s one of them. The Zhang family is a family of officials. , The current old man of the Zhang family used to be the chief officer of the official house, but that was a fourth-rank official, and his students were all over the world. I don’t know how many officials in the Canglong Mansion came from the Zhang family. They have to come to the house to pay a birthday. They have the most fields in the Canglong Mansion, especially the Lingtian, almost all of them are held in the hands of the Zhang family."

After a few bites of food, Xiao Er continued: "The ancient family started to be the underworld. It is said that the underworld in the Canglong Mansion was once dominated earlier. The master seems to be some kind of cultivator. It is said that it has something to do with the sect. It is not specific. Too clear, I know that this family is cruel and tight, and has the worst reputation. It mainly operates escorts, casinos, and pawns. The other is to put money in prints, and then collect money from some local gangs and raise a lot of money. Fighter. Both the Wei family and the Zhou family have only been up in recent years, and most of their business is on the street. Many shops of Canglong Mansion, large and small, belong to these two families. , Cloth houses, restaurants, inns, pharmacies, garment shops and food shops, they do business for the common people. The Zhou family mainly deals with flower shops, jewelry, calligraphy and painting, and money houses. Most of them deal with dignitaries. Our restaurant is the Wei family. My relative opened it."

"It turned out to be like this..." Tang Jie thought for a while, and then asked, "Then if I want to take refuge, which one do you think is better?"

Xiao Er smiled and took a deep look at Tang Jie, with an expression of "I knew it was like this", and replied, "It is not easy to seek refuge. These people, the first three, all exist here. For hundreds of years, even the subordinates raised under his hands have been passed down from generation to generation. The son of the housekeeper is in charge, and the son of the porter will also be the porter in the future. He is very loyal. It is difficult for outsiders to enter."

"Na Wei Zhou's family..."

"They recruit outsiders, but they need to be innocent."

"Innocent..." Tang Jie murmured.

His wealth is not innocent.

After asking Xiao Er some more things, after finding out the general situation here, Tang Jie left.

In the following days, Tang Jie wandered around Canglong Mansion for more than ten days, and then he disappeared again...

—————

In a blink of an eye, winter has arrived.

Canglong Mansion seems to be extremely cold this winter, with heavy snow falling overnight.

Wake up early in the morning, Old Man Wu saw the whiteness on the street, and his yard was actually covered with thick falling snow.

Shaking his head, the old man went out to clean the snow in the yard.

After finishing his work, Old Man Wu dropped his sore back and sighed: "Oh, I'm really old and useless. This year's body is bad again."

He coughed a few times as he spoke.

An old voice came from the room: "Old man, don't forget to sweep the snow in front of the door."

"I see, old lady." Old Man Wu responded irritably.

Pushing open the door to be cleaned, I suddenly felt like I was kicking something under my feet.

Looking down, Old Man Wu's complexion changed drastically: "It's amazing, old lady, someone...someone died in front of our house!"

"what?"

The next moment, an old lady ran out of the door and came to the door to take a look, but no, there was someone lying in front of her door, covered with snow all over her body, if it hadn’t been for Wu old man’s kick, I’m afraid it wouldn’t. discover.

The old lady squatted down quickly, took a closer look, and whispered: "God, this is still a baby, why is it dead?"

"Sin!" Old man Wu also sighed.

At this time, he also saw clearly that the man who died in front of his house was clearly an underage boy.

At this moment, the corpse on the ground suddenly moved, and the two old men jumped up at the same time in fright, but then they reacted, and the old lady already shouted, "Still alive!"

"Quick! Bring people back into the house!" The two old men moved together and lifted the young man on the ground into the house. In the end, although they were both old, they were both accustomed to work. The boy was so light that he could move it.

As soon as he was put on the bed, Old Man Wu already shouted: "Hurry up, old lady, go and make a bowl of **** soup for him. You can't be careless at this time!"

The old lady has hurried to make **** soup.

After a bowl of **** soup, the boy seemed to have some spirit, his eyes gradually opened.

"Wake up! Wake up!" the old lady exclaimed excitedly.

The old couple breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and Old Man Wu smiled even more. "It's fine if you wake up, it's fine if you wake up! I didn't expect that Wu Nanfu could save another life when he was old, but it was still the same as last time. ,Ha ha."

The old lady gave him an angry look: "Look at your proud energy, and Kan Ming'er will let Xing'er know that you have to laugh at you."

But my heart is also extremely happy.

The boy woke up and looked around, seeming to realize something.

Suddenly turned over and sat up, and knelt down with a thump: "Thank you two old people for saving the boy's life. Even if the boy is crushed and broken, he vowed to repay the second boss!"

"Get up, get up, talk about what these do." The old lady hastily helped the boy up, and then asked why he passed out in front of her house.

The boy then replied that he had escaped from Noguhara, and the horse thieves were rampant in Noguhara, and things often happened. Although the immortal family has been suppressed, these horse thieves are like weeds in the ground, often killing one wave after another, and the suppression is not clean.

This young man was killed by the Noguhara horse thief, and his family was destroyed. He finally fled all the way and came to Canglong Mansion, but he ended up living on the street because of food and clothing. UU Reading www. uukanshu.com almost froze to death in front of Wu's house.

The old lady looked at the young boy’s thin appearance and felt pity in her heart, and said: "It is really hard for this child. Coming from such a great distance alone, she is just catching up with the first heavy snowfall of this winter. Almost killed him. If this lets him go out, he will be homeless, I am afraid he will have to freeze to death on the street."

She looked at Old Man Wu, although he didn't say anything, Old Man Wu knew what she meant.

"This...Fortunately, we are not here, we are the two old ones at home, I am afraid it is not suitable..." The old man hesitated for a while.

The old lady had already patted the old man's head and cursed: "What do you want, a little doll is lonely, can you really watch him starve to death and freeze to death on the street? Save people to the end!"

"But his origin is unknown..."

"What's the source of unknown, you Wu Nanfu is still a big family, who is worth coveting?"

The old man Wu touched his head and thought about it. Although the Mengwei family has taken care of him in recent years, life has been much better, but after all, he is just an ordinary person, and he is not interested in him.

Besides, the old man Wu has always been good in his hometown, and he is well-known, and he is unlikely to have any enemies.

Thinking of this, he nodded and said: "In that case, you can stay at my house for the next few days, and wait until you find out..."

He wanted to say that he would wait for something to do, and move out when he found a way to survive. He didn't expect that the young man immediately bowed to the ground when he heard this: "Thank you for taking in. The boy has received the second elder's life-saving grace. From now on, he will regard the two elders as parents. It's a matter of child!"

"Huh?" The old man was in a daze. The old lady laughed at Mimi and touched the boy's head: "Okay, okay! Many people, but just too many sets of dishes, nothing. By the way, the child, I don't know what your name is yet."

The young man had raised his head, revealing star-like bright eyes: "My name is Tang Jie!"
