Tianqi Academy covers an extremely large area, with twelve halls scattered throughout it like stars.
Hongru Hall, Daoshan Hall, Buddha Heart Hall, Yanwu Hall, Lingjiang Hall, Rejuvenation Hall, Royal Beast Hall, Soldier Way Hall, Immortal Pill Hall, Puppet Hall, Lingzhi Hall, and Baihua Hall.
The twelve palaces are like twelve flowers, vying for beauty in the academy, each showing their talents.
The palace is built in an antique style.
Towering trees, ponds and bridges, pavilions, strange rocks and bamboo forests.
Walking into the academy is like walking into a paradise, which is refreshing and refreshing.
As soon as you enter the gate, you will see a spacious open space.
In the center of the open space stands a bronze statue more than three feet high.
The bronze statue is of a middle-aged scribe, holding a scroll in one hand and a ruler in the other, looking up into the distance with extraordinary aura.
Although it is just a bronze statue, anyone who sees it will feel a sense of literary style, as if the bronze statue is the truth of the world and one of the great avenues.
Yun Que recognized it at a glance.
That's a Confucian sage!
The powerful person in the world who single-handedly created the Confucian and Taoist system, the great sage who surpassed the shackles of the first rank!
Tianqi Academy was founded thousands of years ago by Confucian sages.
The Confucian sage was erudite and magnanimous. When he first established the academy, he designated the academy as a place where hundreds of schools of thought could accommodate each other, contend with each other, and discuss the doctrines of each other.
Therefore, Tianqi Academy was praised by later generations as a holy place where a hundred schools of thought contend.
Confucianism, Taoism, martial arts, Buddhism, and even various miscellaneous studies all have a place in the academy.
However, Tianqi Academy does not accept shaman cultivators, and there has never been a strong shaman cultivator to teach.
Some people speculated that the saint did not like the vicious methods of witch cultivators, so the academy despised the shaman cultivator lineage.
Some people also speculated that the powerful witch cultivator had offended the saint, so that there was no longer a place for witch cultivators in the academy.
It has been a thousand years since the Tianqi Academy was built. No one knows the truth that it is compatible with all the world's Taoists and only abandons witchcraft.
Baihua Palace is located on the west side of the Academy.
Yun Que followed Mu An for a long time before arriving.
After passing through the Moon Gate, you will see a large lush grassland with a radius of several hundred feet and is extremely spacious.
In each of the four directions of the grassland, a three-story building is built.
The lights inside the building are bright, and the sound of people can be heard from a distance, making it extremely lively.
Here are the four academic buildings of Baihua Palace.
Each one is more spacious than a restaurant on the street. There are residences for students, lecture halls for teachers, quiet rooms for enlightenment, martial arts arenas for competitions, and some exclusive rooms for studying various knowledges. .
It was already dark at this time, and there were still students coming and going on the grass in the center of the school building.
Some people are talking and laughing, some are arguing, some are playing chess, some are competing, and there are also pairs of young men and women walking under the moonlight, talking to each other.
It was the first time that Yun Que saw so many young practitioners gathered in the same place.
This is just one of the twelve palaces!
One can imagine how lively and energetic the entire Tianqi Academy will be!
While feeling emotional, Yun Que and Mu An came to the west building.
The other three school buildings in the southeast, north and south are all lively and lively. Even in the north building where there is no teacher for the time being, there are many lights on. Only the west building has no light at all. It is dark and gloomy, and the huge building looks like a haunted house. , which is incompatible with the other three academic buildings.
Standing in front of the dark west building, Yun Dian nodded.
Yes, it looks like a tomb.
When he arrived here, Yun Que felt an extra sense of belonging for no reason, as if he had returned to Qinghu Mountain.
Mu An embarrassedly scratched his head and said:
"I'll light the lamp. The whole academy will be quiet on our side, hehe."
There are two students in total and one is a gentleman. They live on the third floor. How can we not be quiet?
Yun Que didn't care.
The grave was where he had lived since he was a child, and he would live in a larger grave as well.
Candles were lit in the lobby on the first floor, and the west building finally became more popular.
"The student residences in the West Building are all empty. Junior Brother Yun can just choose which room he wants to live in. It's too late today. I will take you to pick up student uniforms tomorrow, three sets for each person." Mu An said.
"Senior Brother Mu, what exactly are we learning here? I don't know your name yet," Yun Que said.
"Our husband's surname is Mo, his title is unknown. You can call him Mr. Mo or Mr. Mo."
While boiling water and making tea, Mu An explained: "Mr. Mo mainly teaches case solving and autopsy, and occasionally he also teaches some Taoist mental methods for resting the mind."
"No wonder no one comes to the west building. It turns out that what we learn here is catching agents and gangsters." Yun Que understood it as soon as he heard it.
Being a police officer is nothing in Zangshi Town. It is a normal job, and even some poor people are quite envious of it.
But in the Tianqi Imperial City and the Tianqi Academy in the Holy Land of Learning, they are obviously the two lowest professions. No one looks down on them at all. They are the kind that would make wild dogs on the street roll their eyes if you mention them while walking on the street. .
Mu An scratched his head in embarrassment and said:
"To tell you the truth, I have dreamed of being a great catcher since I was a child! Hunting down criminals all over the world, how majestic it is!"
"Studying for dreams, Senior Brother Mu is an ambitious person." Yun Que said a compliment.
Mu An became even more embarrassed and laughed:
"Actually, it's not really an ambition. I applied for other schools but failed to pass the exam. Mr. Mo gave me another chance to take the exam for the West Building of Baihua Hall, and I successfully passed."
It turned out to be a picker.
Yun Que didn't laugh at him. After all, he was lucky, so he asked:
"Whatever you were taking the test at that time was probably also an autopsy."
"Yes! Just like you, Mr. Mo pretended to be a corpse." Mu An said.
"Sure, Senior Brother Mu! I didn't expect your eyesight to be so sharp. I almost didn't notice Mr. Mo's ability to fake his own death," Yun Que said.
If it weren't for his careful thinking, Yun Que almost answered wrongly today. The state of Mr. Mo's fake death was exactly the same as that of the corpse, and there was no flaw at all.
Mu An's expression became more and more embarrassed, he opened his mouth, and finally sighed:
"Hey! It's not because I have good eyesight. At that time, Mr. Mo personally took me into the assessment shed. Then he fell there and asked me to do an autopsy and asked me how he died."
Yun Que was speechless for a moment after hearing this.
The West Building is so short of people...
After chatting with Mu An for a while, Yun Que learned the general situation of Baihua Palace.
There is no teacher in the North Building for the time being, and the entire building has become a place for students to practice. Students who like quiet often go to the North Building to choose a room for retreat.
Mr. Donglou's name is Zhou Wuji, a Taoist monk. According to Mu An, he is a talkative old man who teaches fortune telling, divination, and cooking. His cooking skills are not very good, but he always forces his students to finish their meals, so he secretly He got the nickname Goubuli.
Describing the food cooked by Mr. Donglou, dogs don’t even want to eat it when they see it.
Yun Que knows Kanyu, which is Feng Shui. To put it simply, Mr. Donglou is a Feng Shui master.
Mr. Nanlou's name is Qi Lingzhu. She is a female gentleman. It is said that she is the best courtesan in the world. She is good at singing and dancing. Her famous eighteen-step sword dance is famous all over the world. She teaches singing and dancing techniques and miscellaneous knowledge.
The South Building has the most students.
Among them, there are many male students who are attracted by Qi Lingzhu's beauty, and there are also many female students. Some people come from far away from foreign countries to learn Qi Lingzhu's singing and dancing, which shows how charming this female gentleman is.
"There are so many wonderful flowers in the Baihua Palace, and as expected, a hundred flowers are blooming..."
After listening to Baihua Palace's introduction, Yun Que felt increasingly speechless.
With the Feng Shui master in the east building, the top oiran in the south building, and a dead ghost in the west building, the Baihua Palace is really lively.
All we need is another old master from the north building, who can fit in a table.
After drinking two cups of tea, Yun Que felt his stomach protesting.
He didn't eat the dinner in the prison, so he rushed all the way to the academy. He was already hungry.
At this time, students from other floors poured out and rushed to a separate small wooden building.
Seeing Yun Que looking outside, Mu An explained:
"That's the canteen over there. If Junior Brother Yun is hungry, you can go eat. I have some things to do, so I won't eat today."
Yun Que said hello.
After arriving at the dining hall, Yun Que was dumbfounded.
The food was good and there was even wine, but it cost money!
It turns out that Tianqi Academy only provides accommodation, not food and drink. If you want to eat, you have to pay for it yourself.
The food is not expensive, and the price is much cheaper than the pubs and restaurants on the street. Most of them are at cost price.
But Yun Que was penniless and was still wearing jailer's clothes.
The packages and banknotes are all in the sky prison.
Yun Que sighed silently.
The most painful thing in the world is being hungry.
What is more painful than this is being hungry and having no money.
How to eat this!
There are no acquaintances in the academy. It would be nice if Mu Qingyao was here.
Yun Que was going to be hungry all night and think of something to do tomorrow. If that didn't work, he would first ask Mu An to borrow some money for food.
Just as he was about to leave the dining hall, Yun Que's eyes immediately lit up when he saw two people sitting in the corner.
One of them was a sturdy young man, in his twenties, with a burly build, his hair braided into dozens of braids, and an exotic attire that made him look powerful.
Seeing this person, Yun Que seemed to see a thousand taels of silver notes.
Yun Que didn't recognize this person and had never seen him before. However, wanted notices for this person were posted all over the city and could be seen when walking on the roadside.
Yun Que discovered it the day he entered the city. He checked the price and found a reward of one thousand taels.
There are actually wanted criminals in the academy?
Unexpectedly, Yun Que did not leave in a hurry, but sat in the empty seat next to the two of them.
The braided young man seemed to have a weak appetite. There was food in front of him. He didn't move his chopsticks for a while and said gloomily:
"What kind of food is this? It's soft and glutinous, like rice soup. How can I eat it? Only the half-cooked and bloody kind is chewy!"
Although the other young man is not as strong in stature, he is also in excellent physical condition. His hands are wide and calloused. He is a warrior at first glance.
He comforted:
"Educated people eat this way, so let's learn to eat it too. I feel good eating it. If we eat it for a few more years, we will get used to it."
"We are used to fine clothes and fine food, but we have forgotten howling wolves. Don't forget that we are eagles on the grassland! We are born to eat raw flesh and blood! I won't eat this kind of rice soup!" The braided young man snorted and turned his head.
The meal he served was actually just a normal meal, not rice soup. Maybe he had a bad tooth and was not used to eating cooked food.
"Khan, don't lose your temper. If you don't eat, you will become weak and be detrimental to us warriors." Another young man advised kindly.
The braided young man named Dahan became more and more enthusiastic, threw his chopsticks and said:
"I have no appetite today! Whoever wants to eat will eat it, but I won't eat it anyway!"
At this time, a voice came from the side, saying: "Senior brother, if you don't want to eat, then I will."
"Eat whatever you want!"
Dahan said something angrily, and when he turned around, he saw a stranger sitting across from him, holding his newly prepared meal and eating hard.
After a while, the food was empty.
The Khan was surprised and said:
"The wolves on the grassland can't eat as fast as you. How long have you been hungry?"
Yun Que raised his head, patted his stomach and said with a smile:
"Wufu, I've been hungry for a long time. Thank you for the hospitality, senior brother. By the way, will you have breakfast tomorrow?"
The young man named Dahan stared for a long time and did not dare to answer.
He is also hungry now and is regretting that he lost his dinner.
"Tomorrow... see if I have an appetite tomorrow!" Dahan said firmly, but unfortunately his stomach growled unsatisfactorily.
"I'll go get another meal for the Khan." The young man next to him got up and went to get another meal. Before leaving, he hesitated and said, "We don't have much money left."
After listening to this, Dahan's stoic expression collapsed.
"Senior brother is from the grassland?" Yun Que asked.
"How do you know!" The Khan said in surprise.
Yun Que smiled and thought to himself that the way you were dressed, you almost had the word "barbarian" carved on your forehead.
"I've seen senior brother's portraits. The streets are almost covered with them." Yun Que said.
"Really? How many are there? It can't be a lot, right?" Dahan said guiltily.
"Not many, there are only a few hundred posted on one street." Yun Que said.
After listening to this, Dahan immediately frowned and his stomach growled with hunger, but he had no appetite at all.
So Yun Que naturally had another dinner.
