Chapter 21 Undercurrent Gradually

"Indeed, I was quite surprised when I came to the academy. The academy actually built a sundial in front of the student building."

"Does our Dongyuan have it?"

“All students in Changshang Academy have them in front of them.”

All?

The North Courtyard is divided into six rows of East Courtyard, and the West Courtyard is also six rows of West Courtyard. There are already twelve rows, and each row has a sundial, which is the twelve sundial.

The number of people in the South and North Colleges is similar, and there should be twelve rows of small buildings and long houses. If the Sundials in front of all the students said that there are sundials in front of the building, it is true, then there are twelve sundials.

The East Courtyard has the largest number of people, so there should be more rows of small buildings and long houses, and at least twelve sundials can be added.

Thirty-six sundials!

After calculating with elementary school mathematics, Wu Mian suddenly felt that there were too many sundials.

"Why do academies build so many sundials? Is it just to facilitate students to determine the time?"

If it is just to determine the time, there are no need to do so many sundials. One academy is built and then arranging someone to confirm the time and report it.

The huge Changshang Academy will not even be able to find someone who can report it.

Even if Changshang Academy emphasizes that students can be self-reliant, they can arrange for a student to guard the sundial, and there is no need to build so many sundials.

"I don't know this." Qiu Mingzhi shook his head and said, "There are rumors that before the Song Dynasty was established, there were already many sundials in Changshang. Later, Taizu founded the country and promoted the literary affairs, and issued an edict to various places to set up colleges. At that time, the magistrate of Shangzhou contacted the scholars of Shangzhou to set up Changshang Academy and moved the sundials to Changshang Academy."

"Hey? These sundials have existed so early?"

Wu Mian was stunned for a moment.

The founding of the State of Song has been around for more than two hundred years, but although the sundial in front of me looks a little old, it doesn't look like something from hundreds of years ago.

Not to mention the marble base for the time being, if the copper sundial needle is left for about two hundred years, then will it be stainless and green stick?

But the sundial needle in front of me was still clean, without a trace of patina.

"These sundials were newly built nine years ago, and the old sundials have been replaced."

Suddenly, Zhou Changsheng's voice rang behind Wu Mian and Qiu Mingzhi.

"Senior Brother Zhou, morning."

"Changsheng, you just got up!"

"It's nothing important, why should I get up so early?" Zhou Changsheng first responded to Qiu Mingzhi, and then said to Wu Mian: "Junior Brother Wu, it's early. I didn't expect you to start cleaning the sundial today. You are a person with your heart."

While speaking, he looked at Wu Mian in confusion for a moment, making Wu Mian think that he had discovered something. When his heart began to hang up, he said, "Did you not sleep well last night? Your eyes were red."

Seeing Zhou Changsheng say this, Qiu Mingzhi also glanced at Wu Mian's eyes: "It's really red, why? I'm not used to living and can't sleep well?"

"It's a bit." Wu Mian smiled embarrassedly: "But it's not all because I'm not used to living, but mainly because my junior brother entered the school, so I'm a little excited."

"Oh~ No wonder I was boasting about myself in the morning and said that I was handsome and handsome." Qiu Mingzhi looked suddenly.

Wu Mian was suddenly a little embarrassed, while Zhou Changsheng, who was on the other side, twitched the corners of his mouth, as if he was about to laugh, but he forced himself to hold it back.

Fortunately, Wu Mian was thick-skinned enough. After a moment of embarrassment, he changed the subject and said, "Senior Brother Zhou lives in this row, right?"

He remembered Qiu Mingzhi said that Zhou Changsheng lived in Jiuer, which is the row he is now in.

"That's right, I live in Jiuer, the seventh room inside and out." Zhou Changsheng nodded with a smile and said, "I still have something to do, so I won't talk with you... Mingzhi, please follow me."

"What's the matter? I'm going to accompany my junior brother to clean the sundial." Qiu Mingzhi said in confusion.

Zhou Changsheng didn't say anything, but just looked at him lightly.

Seeing that Zhou Changsheng was like this, Wu Mian knew that Zhou Changsheng wanted to say something to Qiu Mingzhi, but he didn't want to hear it. He said, "Senior Brother Qiu, since Senior Brother Zhou has something to look for you, he doesn't have to accompany me. The sundial is located at a clear location, so I can find it."

After saying that, Wu Mian picked up the broom and walked towards the row of sundials where he lived.

"Okay, you should pay attention to the time yourself. Just change your clothes and go to the cafeteria for dinner. Chen Shi also has to go to Yongjia School for morning reading." Seeing Wu Mian like this, Qiu Mingzhi did not keep up. He just shouted behind his back and asked Zhou Changsheng: "What's wrong? What's wrong with that?"

"If you can't speak, just say a few less words." Zhou Changsheng glared at him, then looked at Wu Mian's back and said, "Have he done anything after he returned to the house last night?"

"How do I know? I'm separated from him and I, and I'm not idle and ran to the door of his room to see what he's doing... What? Is there a problem with Junior Brother Wu?"

Zhou Changsheng shook his head: "I just feel that his breath is a little strange, and it seems to be much stronger than yesterday."

Qiu Mingzhi said indifferently: "Isn't that a good thing?"

Zhou Changsheng sighed and said, "He practiced the Four Symbols Body Protection. This technique is peaceful and peaceful. Even if he breaks through one level, he will not become much stronger. But now he seems to have become a different person... Forget it, everyone has their own chances. The eldest brother said that he had taken the Life Saving Pill, and maybe he refined the medicine of the Life Saving Pill last night. I was a success in the Four Symbols Body Protection Pill, and I took a Life Saving Pill."

"You know so much. You won't really want to do anything with him, right?" Qiu Mingzhi frowned slightly: "Zhao Xiangzhong... Zhao Xiangzhong... This name is a bit familiar... By the way, the shopkeeper Zhao of Fuyue Restaurant is called Zhao Xianggong? Are they a family?"

Zhou Changsheng nodded with a smile, then said in a deep voice: "Mingzhi, I want to borrow your Shujianshan's status in the world to do something."

"What's up?"

"Help me investigate the Six Demon Mountains."

"Six Demon Mountain? What are you investigating them?" Qiu Mingzhi's brows became tighter and tighter: "They are separated from Qinzhou, Kaizhou and Guizhou from Shangzhou, which is not the jurisdiction of your father. Besides, if you investigate this matter, isn't your government more suitable?"

"The current magistrate of Qinzhou is Lin Yuandao, and he is from the faction of King Lu."

As soon as Zhou Changsheng said this, Qiu Mingzhi understood.

Zhou Changsheng's father Zhou Wenyuan is from the lineage of King An. King Lu and King An have different opinions on political affairs, and they are almost the same as they are in front of the emperor. Zhou Changsheng wants to use the power of the government to investigate the Six Demon Mountains, so how could the magistrate of Qinzhou cooperate?

“What to investigate?”

"I don't know either."

"Ah?! Not sure? Not sure what you asked me to investigate?"

"You just have to ask someone to investigate and tell me something is wrong."

……………………

After cleaning the six sundials in Dongyuan, Wu Mian went to Qingjing's room to return the broom, washed up, then returned to Yi23 and changed his clothes, went to the cafeteria to order some breakfast and started eating, and at the same time, he silently planned what he should do next.

The energy of the sundial is still not sucked for the time being. Without the jade talisman protection, I know what will happen to me when the black smoke appears. I don’t want to endorse the idiom of “human beings and birds who die for food”. At least I have to wait until I get some jade talismans in Bai Yao before trying it.

There is no one to teach martial arts yet, so just focus on the Yin-cold power in the Beidou Pu and the Hand Shaoyin Heart Sutra... By the way, I haven't named the internal technique that drives Yin-cold power... Tianshuang Fist? Ice Mian Palm? This is so irritating... Diamond Star Fist?

Then how to contact Kong Jieyuan and Liu Tangchangchang Academy. This is the main purpose of my joining Changshang Academy.

But on this point, I need to understand their likes and dislikes first. Senior Brother Qiu and Senior Brother Zhou should know something, and then ask them for inquiries...

By the way, there is also reading.

Alas, I still have to study at this age, which is really a scam. But after all, I have already entered Changshang Academy, so I can be a juren. In this way, even if I have no achievements in martial arts and immortal cultivation in the future, I can still be an official, live and wait for death, and enjoy the sacrifice.

I thought about it in my heart, and before I knew it, Wu Mian had finished breakfast.

At this time, a man walked to him and smiled and said, "Brother Wu Mian, you are already full, are you? Do you want to go to school with us?"

Wu Mian glanced at the man and recognized him as Changsun Quan, a disciple of the Yongjia School who had reported his name to each other yesterday.

He remembered that Changsun Quan was born in Yuezhou like him, but was from Lixian, and was a little far from Shanbei where he was born.

Behind Changsun Quan, there were several students from the Yongjia School standing.

"So it's Brother Changsun." Wu Mian stood up, raised his hand and bowed slightly, and smiled and said, "It just so happened that I thought it was time to go to school, so everyone would go with me."

As we chatted casually along the way, everyone came to Yongjia School.

Although it was not yet Chen, some people had already started reading in the morning, but the contents of reading were different. Some read poems, some read books, and some read Li Yi or the history of the Spring and Autumn Period.

Wu Mian and others stopped talking, so they found a place, took out the book and started reading.

What Wu Mian took out was a history book of the previous dynasty.

The Yongjia School particularly values ​​history. Those who want Yongjia use history as a mirror to know the rise and fall of the world, find out the causes of various events that have occurred in the past from the long river of history, and understand it in combination with the sage's theory to ensure that one's own theory can learn good or bad lessons from history and will not become a dead end.

Since he had joined the Yongjia School, he had to focus on history so that he would not know what to do if the gentlemen asked questions.

However, everyone did not last long for everyone to read. After the teacher came, he unified the content of everyone's morning reading... "Shangshu".

Shangshu is an ancient book. The Yongjia School, which values ​​history, stipulates that this book is used as a book for morning reading, which is in line with the purpose of the Yongjia School.

After morning reading, the teacher did not give him a rest time like the school on earth. Instead, the teacher directly talked about the scriptures. The students listened carefully below and took notes. It was not until noon that the students went to lunch and rest. The afternoon courses started again in the morning until the hour of the first hour.

In this way, more than ten days passed in a blink of an eye.

……………………

In Yujia Village, three tourists from the world wearing short-strikes, hats, and swords arrived on horseback.

"This is Yujia Village. We will stay here for a night today. We can go to Chang Mall tomorrow morning."

One of the gangsters.

"Lao Zhang, you are familiar with Changshang Realm, just do what you said."

The other two gangsters had no objection, so when the three of them planned to get off the horse and enter the village, Lao Zhang, who had said he had been sleeping in Yujia Village, suddenly shouted: "Slow down! There is a problem!"

Any questions?

The other two gangsters looked at Lao Zhang in confusion, and then looked at Yujia Village.

After seeing this, they also found a problem.

In Yujia Village, which looks quite small, there are only three smokes of smoke from cooking!

It is now the end of Shen, and soon it will be You hour. The sky is almost dark. People in villages like Yujia Village all go to sunrise and rest at sunset. At this time, it should be the time to cook, but now there are only three smokes of smoke!
