????????The three masters walked at the front, followed by a huge crowd of people, walking towards Guilu Mountain together.
Going to Yucheng is very close to the academy. Guilu Mountain is right in front of the academy, like a towering giant, overlooking all the disciples in the academy day and night.
????????The gate of the Academy is at the flattest location at the foot of Guilu Mountain.
????????In front of the academy gate is a huge square, which is several times larger than the main palace of Yucheng City. The ground is completely paved with bluestone, neatly arranged, and so empty that it feels oppressive, giving people the impression of thousands of troops.
The chilling feeling of the horses arrayed in front.
The first disciples to arrive at Shanmen Square were already crowded to the corner of the square.
Qin Jinyang mingled with Lin Yuanxing's team, moved forward in the crowd, and soon arrived at the square.
At the front of the team are the isolated disciples of the Three Kingdoms, followed by the team of disciples from the capital, and next, the team from Linyuan Province.
????????Objectively speaking, the Beijing team is the real leader.
?????????Disciples of the Three Kingdoms are not considered human beings.
As soon as they stepped onto the square, Lin Yuanxing's team dispersed instantly, and the team members couldn't wait to run towards where the crowd was gathering.
?????????"Junior brother Qin, I'm going to find an acquaintance to chat with, you can hang around for a while... By the way, you are a weak disciple, try not to be in debt!"
?????????Du Zaoqi saw an acquaintance and was going to go over and have a few words. Before leaving, he specially gave Qin Jinyang a few words.
????????"good!"
???????Qin Jinyang nodded.
The corner of the square is actually a small market.
????????Every year when new disciples arrive, the market will be open for a special day.
There are not many stalls in the market, but the items sold are specially designed to cure toothaches, and they are all treasures that new disciples can use.
Before coming here, Qin Jinyang also had a general understanding of it.
????????The market will sell various elixirs, poisons, weapons, magic weapons...
????????The currency of trading is not silver or gold leaves, but years.
????????But it is obvious that the new disciple has no age on him.
????????At this time, the loan department of the Academy stepped forward again.
????????As long as you are willing, you can borrow money from the Academy and then purchase various weapons and elixirs here.
????????With elixir weapons, you can achieve better results in Guilu Mountain.
???????Qin Jinyang sneered.
?????????This is not borrowing, it is simply overdrafting the labor force for the next three years.
????????The interest may not seem like much, but as long as the amount borrowed is enough, sooner or later you will embark on the road of tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall. Coupled with the severe crackdown on Lao Lai by the school palace, the disciples will even pay high prices
Borrow loan sharks from fellow students.
????????With compounding profits, it is not impossible for a person to be forced to death.
????????Actually, why doesn’t the Academy know this?
????????If everyone is rich and no one is stressed, then who will do the most dangerous task?
?????????When someone needs to die, who will risk death and survive?
????????Human potential is unlimited, but it can only be fully squeezed out when there is no recovery.
????????Before you officially get started, we will induce you to borrow money and induce you to get used to the taste of getting something for nothing.
To put it bluntly, this is a conspiracy, a conspiracy to drive people to death.
???????Qin Jinyang's heart felt a little cold.
????????Seeing that many disciples had begun to borrow money, he could only smile bitterly.
????????In the eyes of the senior officials of the academy, the disciples who end up borrowing old things to repay new ones, and are heavily in debt, are just stupid and bring the blame upon themselves.
????????Or, encouraging the borrowing mechanism is also a way for the academy to screen talents.
????????It is impossible for a self-disciplined person to have no plan.
????????People who are restrained in their interests tend to be more loyal.
People who are good at calculating money accounts are more careful in their thinking.
?????????The disciples who graduate from Yuzhi Academy will be the pillars of the dynasty in the future.
????????If the army is controlled by a general who is greedy and has no self-discipline, the consequences will be disastrous.
????????well……
????????There are assessments everywhere in Yuzhi Academy, and it deserves its reputation.
????????At this moment, the disciples are already using their character and intelligence to make mistakes on their answer sheets.
????????……
?????????Disciples can borrow money, but they cannot borrow money as they please.
????????It depends on qualifications and ability!
There are a few chubby chefs presiding over the market. These people are very calculating at first glance, and the light in their eyes is exuding bursts of golden light.
????????They are also affiliated with the Law Academy and are mainly responsible for all the accounts of the Academy. They are under the control of Jiang Wutai on weekdays. Every once in a while, they have to go to the palace to let the emperor review the accounts.
????????The responsibilities of the appraiser are performed by the appraisers.
The basis for the evaluation is the disciple's background, life experience, bell-cleansing level, and bone grade. At the same time, it is also necessary to test the treasures you possess and your mastery of Xuan Gong.
????????The higher the comprehensive score, the higher the age limit for overdraft.
????????If Qin Jinyang wants to overdraft, the limit can be almost as low as the floor, which is the lowest level.
In terms of life experience, Qin Jinyang was a rough man, and he came from the poorest province of Yundong. Although he had the title of Northern Eagle Flying General, it was a false name and he had no background or real power.
????????Helan Villa was once known as the nine major sects. If placed in Linyuan Province, it would probably be a third-rate gang.
In terms of strength, Qin Jinyang didn't even dare to measure the progress of the clock washing, so he calculated it as if he had never been in contact with the clock washing.
????????As for Xuan Gong, Qin Jinyang has never demonstrated it.
When it comes to treasures, Qin Jinyang has none.
Qin Jinyang was not interested in borrowing money, but he noticed that almost everyone in Lin Yuan's team had borrowed money.
?????????Some of them bought elixirs, some bought weapons for protection, and everyone looked at the new equipment with excitement.
Although the consequences of not being self-disciplined are very serious, it should be said that the debt before entering the school is also a benefit provided by the academy to the new disciples.
????????On the basis of the lowest interest rate, plus a half discount and rounding, it is almost the same as interest-free.
????????Even if the disciple is eliminated and fails to get started, the family can still repay it with gold leaves. Of course, the interest on gold leaves is expensive, and if it cannot be paid within the specified time, it must be calculated every day.
Penalty money.
?????????This is also a rare opportunity to exchange years for gold and silver.
Of course, every year there are families that go bankrupt due to this. There is no other way but to use gold and silver to pay for the new year. That one is very expensive.
????????You have been forced to exchange gold and silver for years, which proves that you have been eliminated. Since you are not a disciple of the Academy, who will pity you?
?????????I am willing to admit defeat. The small profits made in the academy will be a loss of blood.
?????????"Brother Qin, don't you want to exchange it for a treasure?"
?????????"Have you seen that long sword?"
?????????"Brother, I have asked you about it. Although it is not a magic weapon, it is hard and sharp and can penetrate the carapace of the body-stealing louse."
?????????"The sword on your body...is the truth...it's good for tickling."
?????????Suddenly, a young man from Lin Yuan's team came over.
????????His name is Jin Huchao, and the position of dragging oil bottles in the team originally belonged to his cousin, but Qin Jinyang suddenly appeared and his cousin was forced to move to the team.
?????????Jin Huchao didn't dare to offend Du Zaoqi, so he could only secretly look for trouble with Qin Jinyang.
???????? He pointed to an iron-blue long sword on the stall next to him, and looked up and down at the sword on Qin Jinyang's back. He sighed and curled his lips and shook his head.
?????????Qin Jinyang asked Lao Si to buy this sword in the capital.
?????????He also inquired about the situation of the body-snatching lice in the capital, and knew that the body-snatching lice had a hard outer armor, and ordinary weapons could not break through its defense, so he entrusted Lao Si to buy one from the Ministry of War.
Long sword.
?????????The body-stealing louse actually has a life gate, but the life gate is hidden, making it even more difficult for disciples to kill it accurately.
????????If you are a second-level martial artist who still has a chance and kills dozens of body-stealing lice, you can always try your luck to stab the life gate once.
????????The warriors of Ichiba have no chance at all.
There is pressure on Guilu Mountain. Under pressure, if the disciples can perform 70% of their martial arts, they will be considered outstanding.
????????Only second-level warriors can not be affected by coercion in the first three areas and can display the power of martial arts normally.
????????So relying on brute force to break the carapace is still a more mainstream way of fighting.
????????The swords here are all extremely strong heavy swords.
The weapon on Qin Jinyang’s back is also the most suitable heavy sword that Lao Si found.
Of course, there are specialties in the art. When it comes to killing house lice, the epee that the fourth man found cannot compare to the epee on the stall.
????????If you leave Guilu Mountain, Laosi's epee will be more valuable, but here, the most important thing is the fit.
????????And Qin Jinyang’s heavy sword will be corroded by the acid in the body of the body lice.
????????The weapons of the Academy have been specially refined to resist the blood erosion of the body-stealing lice.
?????????Jin Huchao is so yin and yang that he wants Qin Jinyang to borrow money to buy this long sword.
???????Qin Jinyang's face was expressionless.
???????Credit?
???????How can I pay on credit!
Of course, I still want to use the weapons on the stall, but I don’t have to buy them.
????????My neighbors stock up on food and I stock up on guns, and my neighbors are my granaries.
????????When the disciples rushed up Guilu Mountain in a swarm, some of them soon abandoned their helmets and armor and fled. When the time comes, I will just pick up some, which will be enough.
????????The speed of the wind shelter formation is related to the weight of the warrior.
????????This heavy sword can easily weigh tens to hundreds of kilograms, let alone hundreds of kilograms. In a hurry, even a piece of clothing will affect the speed of operation, and someone will definitely abandon the weapon.
?????????Right!
Speaking of which, Qin Jinyang also had a wooden dagger in his arms.
????????Obviously, wooden weapons are even less useful.
?????????"The weapon in my hand has also been specially refined and is sufficient for the time being!"
Qin Jinyang smiled at Jin Huchao and directly refused to borrow money.
????????"Um?"
????????Jin Huchao's expression froze, and his eyes immediately darkened.
?????????This little thing from the backwoods is more stubborn than imagined.
????????The rest of the team members also came over and surrounded Qin Jinyang in the middle.
?????????They didn't speak, but they all held the new treasures bought with debt in their hands.
????????At the same time, everyone looked unhappy.
????????They are expressing the same meaning: it is impossible to go over and borrow money, and it is impossible to lie down and suck blood.
Qin Jinyang stood in the middle of the crowd, his brows furrowed.
???????He is waiting for Du Zaoqi to come back.
????????After all, I have accepted the love of my consort, so I can just wait for Du Zaoqi to come back, make it clear that I want to lie down, and don't want to drag you down, and then leave directly.
???????? Anyway, I didn’t plan to stay in the team for a long time in the beginning.
????????……
????????After a while, Du Zaoqi was back.
?????????Qin Jinyang was about to speak, but was directly interrupted by Du Zaoqi.
???????He stared straight at Jin Huchao:
?????????"Qin Jinyang didn't wash the bell, he couldn't assess the debt, and he couldn't afford an epee at all."
????????Du Zaoqi could see the contradiction among everyone at a glance. After all, he was the third strongest team leader in the field, with careful thinking and meticulous observation.
?????????"Senior Brother Du, I'm not joking..."
????????Jin Huchao looked embarrassed. Just as he was about to explain, he was interrupted again by Du Zaoqi.
"I just assessed some quotas and bought an extra red medicine to expel house lice, counting Qin Jinyang's contribution to the team."
?????????"The effect of the red medicine on the fourth level is not too strong, but it still has miraculous effects at critical moments. When necessary, Qin Jinyang can also take some credit."
"Qin Jinyang is my brother. If you have any dissatisfaction or have any needs, you can come to me directly. There is no need to embarrass him."
???????Du Zaoqi saw that Jin Huchao was making things difficult for Qin Jinyang.
????????At the same time, he also saw Qin Jinyang's mood of wanting to retreat.
????????It’s actually normal.
Qin Jinyang is from Yundong Province. In the team of Linyuan Province, there will definitely be an inferiority complex. In addition, Jin Huchao and others are sarcastic, so it is normal to want to escape.
????????But he is the person Bai Taikong wants to help, how can he stand by and watch.
?????????"Junior brother Qin, they like to joke, if they say anything too excessive, you don't have to mind, they are all good brothers!"
????????Du Zaoqi patted Qin Jinyang on the shoulder.
"Okay, let's get ready to draw lots, the court ministers are all here too!"
????????Just after resolving the conflict, Du Zaoqi looked in the direction of the academy gate.
Although Jin Huchao and the others were not convinced, Du Zaoqi was the captain. If he wanted to wash the bell safely, he had to rely on the captain's protection, so they didn't bother anymore.
????????The ministers arrived, and the attention of Jin Huchao and others was also attracted.
????????……
???????Qin Jinyang was interrupted and didn't say anything more.
????????Everyone looked at the gate of the academy together.
A group of people walked leisurely, flanked by a group of high-spirited young people. They were all third-year disciples and the oldest disciples.
???????? Anyone who can walk beside the court minister is an outstanding pillar of talent.
There are five ministers in total.
Qin Jinyang recognized two of them at a glance.
?????????Jiang Wutai, Dean of the Law Academy.
???????? Sure enough, it was the old eunuch whom we had taken a bath with.
????????? He put on clothes and almost didn’t recognize him.
???????Another minister of the academy is Ji Shouxiang, the imperial envoy of the Ministry of Punishment, who also serves as the minister of the main academy.
????????Behind Ji Shouxiang, stood Bai Taikong with a thin face.
????????He is now the deputy minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and he can actually be regarded as the deputy minister.
There are three people left, and Qin Jinyang doesn’t even know them.
????????But the C court minister in the middle has a majestic face and wears a brocade robe that only the royal family is qualified to wear. There is no doubt that he is Jiang Wuzhi, the Councilor of the Upper Court...Prince Zhi.
????????The remaining two people are the ministers of the left courtyard and the right courtyard.
????????One is from the Fang family and the other is from the Yuan family.
There are two people, one tall and one short. The shorter one is Yuan Jingci, the minister of the Yuan family.
Qin Jinyang observed Bai Taikong from a distance. Sure enough, Bai Taikong seemed expressionless, but at a certain moment, his eyes revealed his hatred for Yuan Jingci.
????????……
????????The whole place was silent.
????????Under everyone’s gaze, the ministers sat down one after another.
???????Finally, a three-year disciple came out and stood at the front of the crowd.
?????????Moganchi chess.
The strongest disciple in the Academy is currently the Senior Brother of the Academy. His strength is invincible in both the Left and Right Courts. His current opponent is the Royal Family of the Upper Court.
????????As the senior brother, Yuan Anqi is the host of this trial.
?????????In fact, it’s just reading the manuscript.
"I am Yuan Anqi, a senior brother who is two years ahead of you. If anyone likes to compete, you can challenge me at any time."
"If you can defeat me, you can get a lot of years! Although I have two more years of training than you, in this era of heroes and geniuses, I hope you will be stronger than me."
????????Moganganqi doesn’t have much nonsense, and the opening is unceremonious.
?????????"Next, everyone takes out their waist cards and stands in these three circles in order..."
?????????"The color that appears on the waist card represents which path you want to take in the first three areas."
????????"Last year, there were four roads in the first three districts...and this year, there is a new road in the first three districts. Unfortunately, this new road is not easy, and is even more dangerous than all the previous roads.
…”
?????????"Life and death are destiny, everything depends on God!"
After Yuan Anqi finished speaking, three huge circles of light appeared in the open space in front of him.
????????The new disciples already understand the rules.
????????These three apertures are a formation that randomly allocates roads. The color of the waist card that lights up represents whether the next road is bad or good.
?????????Destiny of life and death.
These four characters are also the names of the four roads.
????????The first way is the way to survive.
The road to survival is the best route that disciples flock to. It is the smoothest road and has the least number of house lice.
?????????After the disciples have practiced for a period of time, they will hunt down the house-stealing lice on a large scale. The fourth area and above are the targets, and their route up the mountain is their way to survive.
The road to survival is an almost flat road, and there is the most information along the way.
Of course, since the number of house-stealing lice is the smallest, and there are many people on weekdays, the pressure of survival is the weakest.
????????But the new disciples don’t care about the loss of this pressure at all.
???????Safety first.
????????Only when you reach the fourth area is the place where you are completely transformed.
????????The second road is the Heavenly Road.
????????This is a path that is barely walkable, ranking second in difficulty.
There are more house lice, but it is the closest to the end of the area. It is a shortcut, but it is easy to get lost.
????????In order to save time, old disciples often choose the Heavenly Path.
????????At the same time, some old disciples don’t want to go to the fourth area and will hunt the house-stealing lice on Tianlu.
????????The third road is the road of fate.
????????Unfortunately, if you get your fate in the lottery, you just have to back it up.
????????This road is relatively smooth, but there are a lot of house lice on the road. No matter how unlucky you are, you may encounter groups of house lice.
????????On the fate road, there is a possibility of losing your life.
???????The fourth road...a dead end!
?????????There was a rumor from a disciple in the past that if a newbie is drawn to a dead end in the trial, it is recommended to use the wind shelter to teleport directly.
????????No way, this road has the highest death rate.
???????Although there are many house-stealing lice in the life path, the chance of appearing in groups is very small.
???????? Groups of body-stealing lice appear at every turn at the dead end, and sometimes the disciples are too late to activate the wind shelter.
???????Of course, a dead end also has its advantages.
The coercion is the purest here. Due to the large number of house-stealing lice, larvae will also be encountered. The carapace of the larvae has not been fully evolved, so they can be killed relatively easily.
????????Some disciples in the academy have great ambitions and will deliberately take dead ends in order to achieve a breakthrough.
The pressure in the core area of the dead end is not even weaker than that in the fourth area.
????????And the disciples who draw a dead end will also receive special rewards.
????????Take the dead end and pass through the first area, and you will be rewarded with a Source Heart Pill.
?????????Go through the second area and be rewarded with two Source Heart Pills.
?????????Go through the third area and be rewarded with three Source Heart Pills.
????????Qin Jinyang had accomplished such a great feat in the past, and it was only a reward for the Origin Heart Pill. Now he has one just walking through the first area. This shows the greatness of Yuzhi Academy's efforts.
????????……
??????? Group after group of people stood in the aperture to draw lots.
Qin Jinyang also stood up. The luster on his waistband was green.
????????Now people only know their own color and don’t know which way to go.
????????But who you are going with on the road can be judged by the color.
?????????Unfortunately, no one in Lin Yuan's team has the same color as Qin Jinyang.
Among the colors that have been drawn so far, Qin Jinyang has the least green color. Of course, it may not necessarily be the least green color in the end. After all, there are still a lot of people who have not yet drawn lots.
????????The color is completely random, sometimes all the people in a circle are purple.
????????For people like Du Zaoqi, they are more willing to take the road of fate, even the road of death, and want to try it.
????????……
While chatting with people, Qin Jinyang finally understood the so-called fifth way.
???????The fifth road is called Xin Road.
????????This is the most desolate and dangerous road, the farthest from the end of the area, and the largest number of body-snatching lice along the way. Since there have been no warriors to disturb it for many years, the body-snatching lice on this road are also the craziest.
?????????In fact, the so-called new path is a path specially prepared for foreign disciples.
Of course, it is obviously not appropriate to bully foreign disciples. There are some unlucky ones among Zhongzhou disciples who will be randomly assigned to new paths.
????????As for who is the unlucky guy, there is no conclusion yet.
????????Everyone is worried, their hands holding their waistbands are covered in cold sweat.
