Qianxiang Baimei

Chapter 12 Name
On the third day of August, the weather in Huaguang County was fine, and the children came out of the inn before dawn early in the morning.Today is the day to enroll in Chufeng Academy. Everyone was so excited that they didn't sleep well all night. They were busy hiring a car as soon as they went out. They had to rush to Zhaogong Temple, which is more than ten miles away, before noon. The Honglu car would be waiting in the temple. Take them to the academy.

On the way, Baili Gelin chattered non-stop, like a little sparrow: "What do you think the academy will look like? Is it built on a mountain? Or is it built by the sea? It would be great if it was built by the sea. I haven't seen the sea yet. Woolen cloth!"

"I heard that Chufeng Academy is a dangerous place that mortals can never reach. There must be extremely powerful guards blessed by immortals. I guess it should be on the seabed or underground."

Ye Ye also enthusiastically joined the discussion.

Lei Xiuyuan murmured: "Under the sea? Didn't he drown before reaching the academy?"

"With the blessing of immortality, you shouldn't have to worry about these things." Little Stick interrupted, "I also guess it might be at the bottom of the sea."

They tirelessly speculated about the appearance of the academy, and even discussed with great interest whether the master who teaches spiritual practice is male or female, beautiful or ugly, old or young. This is the happiest day in their lives, and everything in the future will be so Mysterious and full of beauty, they set foot in the realm of immortals for the first time, even if they entered the formal sect a year later, they no longer had the joyful expectation of today.

Zhao Gongci soon arrived. The strange thing is that there was no one around, and the walls and houses on both sides of the small street were covered with bright yellow cloth. Rows of mighty guards in armor stood on both sides of the street. They were stopped with weapons as soon as they approached.

"Bold and unreasonable! This road is impassable today, get out of here quickly!" Seeing that they were all children in ragged clothes, the guards immediately drove them away.

"But we are going to the Zhaogong Temple, today is..." Before Baili Gelin finished speaking, he was rudely interrupted: "Where are you going! A nobleman is coming to the Zhaogong Temple today, don't get dirty Here! Get out of here!"

This arrogant and domineering attitude immediately made Xiao Bangchui and Baili Changyue lose their tempers, and they were about to explode when they frowned. Ye Ye quietly tugged at the two of them from behind, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Brother, We are the new disciples of Chufeng Academy, we are entering school today, there is a famous badge here, please allow us to pass.”

Unexpectedly, when the guards heard the words "Chufeng Academy", they immediately surrounded them, and the leader sneered: "Then you are the ones waiting! Quick! Arrest them all and lock them up! How dare a mere pariah practice with our lord?" , the only one who is qualified to enter the academy is the Prince of England! Today, you people are not allowed to come and go!"

After saying that, with a wave of their hands, the guards all rushed forward, with chains and hemp ropes in their hands. They must have been prepared a long time ago, and they were about to trap the five people. I waited and waited, the wind gradually died down, and when I opened my eyes again, the five children had disappeared.

"I have already prepared the chain and hemp rope, I must have had this idea!" Baili Gelin leaned on the wall of the ancestral hall, and whispered angrily, "They want to arrest everyone else who entered the school?!"

Ye Ye pondered for a while, and said: "It should be someone from above who instructed you. You heard from him that only their princes are eligible to enter the academy. It must be the way the royal family wants to suppress other people's practice. This kind of thing is not uncommon."

"But there may be nobles from other countries among the selected candidates, isn't it good for them to do so?" Lei Xiuyuan asked.

Ye Ye shook his head: "Firstly, this is within the territory of the Yue Kingdom; secondly, I heard that Mr. Xuan Shanzi of Xingzhengguan is a member of the Yue Kingdom's royal family, and with such a powerful immortal sitting in the town, the Yue Kingdom can expand its territory every year, so arrogant and domineering. "

Lei Xiuyuan was surprised: "Since Xuan Shanzi is from the royal family of the Yue Kingdom, why didn't he just take that little prince under the door of the Xingzheng Pavilion?"

Ji Tongzhou is very talented, and there are seniors in the family who are powerful immortals, so there is no need to come to Chufeng Academy.

"Hmph, the Immortal family is quiet and peaceful, they are equal and friendly, so they won't allow this kind of thing!" Baili Gelin still has a good impression of the immortal.

Ye Ye smiled: "How can immortals be pure and uncontested? Cultivation is to go against the sky. Birth, old age, sickness and death are in line with the way of heaven... Immortals are often more utilitarian than ordinary people, and have strong desires. As for the little prince, this How can us outsiders guess the reason? Let’s not talk about it, let’s go around and take a look.”

The crowd crawled along the wall of the ancestral hall, and in a short while they walked around to the back door. Sure enough, the front and back doors were guarded by heavy soldiers. A Honglu cart was parked in the backyard. In the pavilion beside it, there were only Heishinv, Ji Tongzhou, Lan Princess Ya and another young man in bright yellow long clothes were there. Besides, there was no one in the huge backyard. It seemed that the other children were driven away by the guards outside, and they have not been able to come in until now. .

"Is that the emperor?" Little Bangchui couldn't help asking when he saw that the man's clothes were embroidered with dragon patterns.

"Ah, it should be the emperor of the Yue Kingdom." Lei Xiuyuan nodded, the children listened to them, and the emperor said with a smile: "It's already noon, why don't the immortals set off?"

The voice of the girl in black gauze was as cold as ice: "The people are not ready yet."

The emperor said: "It must be delayed by something on the way, so it doesn't matter if you don't wait."

The woman in black veil sneered: "Then I will ask Your Majesty."

The emperor pretended to be stupid: "The immortal's words are wrong, how could I know?"

The girl in black got up and walked out of the pavilion, looked around, and said calmly: "Although your majesty is the king of a country, there is no distinction between high and low in my immortal sect, and there are only differences in strength. Today's majesty is so grand. , and even drive others away, being so capricious and selfish is not a good thing, and I hope it will not be like this in the future."

She threw a vermilion talisman towards the sky, and in an instant a red dragon with teeth and claws appeared in the air, spewing flames from its mouth, and flew around the ancestral hall.

The expressions of the three people in the pavilion changed instantly, and the emperor said urgently: "Immortal! What is the purpose of this?! Please be merciful!"

The girl in black gauze ignored him, but raised her head and said, "You all, come down."

Hulala, behind the tree on the wall and the roof beams, a dozen children jumped out of various hidden places in an instant, probably to avoid the guards' capture, and they also jumped into the backyard, the emperor's face turned green, and he said : "You...where... come here! Come here!"

Baili Gelin held back his breath and said loudly: "Don't call! Your guards can't hear you! It's too much! The academy is not run by your family! Why block the road and arrest it?!"

The emperor suddenly shut up, his expression was gloomy, and he looked at the girl in black gauze unkindly: "Immortal, Huaguang County is the border of Yue Kingdom! Even if you are a noble guest of the Immortal Sect, how can you set fire to hurt people?!"

The woman in black gauze snapped her fingers, and in an instant, the fire went out, the smoke cleared, and there was silence all around, as if nothing had happened.The emperor's face changed again, and he hurriedly shouted: "Come on! Come on!"

The door was quickly opened, and a large number of guards rushed in aggressively. There were no burns or other injuries. The screams of flames and smoke just now seemed to be just an unreal nightmare.The emperor finally started to panic and said anxiously: "Get out of here! Get out of here!"

The gorgeous golden chariot was at the door, and the emperor ran out with the guards on his back without looking back. Ji Tongzhou couldn't help but chased after him and shouted: "Brother Emperor..."

The emperor shook his head: "I'm going back, everything depends on you, don't let me down."

The chariot soon went away, and the yellow cloth covering the street was also removed. The children all breathed a sigh of relief, and Ye Ye whispered: "Arrogance and extravagance, blind arrogance, bullying... The kingdom of Yue is coming to an end, the royal family It’s all like this, let alone the nobles and officials? Even if Mr. Xuan Shanzi sits in the town, there will be a day when the immortals will go, and I’m afraid that they will be overwhelmed if they don’t wait for that little prince to become a talent.”

Lei Xiuyuan said, "It's like Gaul back then."

Ye Ye's face changed slightly, and after a while he let out a long sigh and said nothing.

Now that everyone has arrived, they boarded the Honglu cart one by one. The car was still full of pear blossoms like a sea, and the courtyard was exquisite. As soon as the little stick came under the pear blossom tree, the girl in black gauze came up slowly and said, "You and I Come."

Looking for her?What will happen?The little mallet was full of doubts and followed the black gauze girl through the pear blossom forest. After crossing a wooden bridge, there was a small courtyard opposite. The black gauze girl raised her hand and gently knocked on the door. "Mr. Zuoqiu, I brought the child here."

An old male voice quickly sounded in the room: "Come in."

The door opened without a sound, the little mallet was a little nervous, why did you call her over alone?Who is Mr. Zuoqiu?

The girl in black gauze led her into the door, and behind the bamboo table in the room was an old man with white hair, who was concentrating on reading a book with his head down, and waved to them without raising his head: "Come here, sit down."

The bamboo chair was pulled away without a sound, and the little stick didn't dare to breathe out. Yiyan sat opposite him, and the old man finally closed the book.

He looks very old, he must be in his nineties, but his eyes are extremely clear, black and white, as soon as the little mallet makes contact with his eyes, his heart beats nervously, feeling that no secret can be hidden in these eyes like.

what is he looking atWhy don't you talk?Did he see the fox demon in his body?She tried to hide her uneasiness.

Mr. Zuoqiu's thoughts are also very complicated, his eyes are so vicious, the talent of the little stick is really not high-quality, you can tell it at a glance, but her performance in the forest is really surprising, the miasma in the forest can't touch her at all Around her, there was a distance of a few feet around her, like a wall, completely separating the evil spirit from the miasma. What's more interesting was that he could faintly feel that there was a great aura in this child's body.

What is the reason for this?
Speaking of which, what is blessed on the white paper is the evil spirit of the legendary nine-tailed fox demon. Countless masters of the immortal family have chased and killed it for many years but have not driven it to extinction. In the end, they can only harvest some evil spirit and seal it up. The children who can withstand the huge monster power are the real talents, and the academy will always select the real geniuses.

This little girl has ordinary aptitude, but she can do things that ordinary people can't do. Could it be that she has a special physique that is rare in a thousand years?Or, what powerful magic weapon is on his body?

He looked at her carefully, and suddenly found that she was wearing a string of evil spirit beads around her wrist, which looked very familiar. If I remembered correctly, it should be belonging to Master Dongyang of Wuyueting. Could it be that Master Dongyang gave it to her?Could it be this evil spirit bead protecting her?
Mr. Zuoqiu suddenly smiled slightly: "Little girl, the beads on your hand look familiar, can you show me?"

Is it the evil spirit bead given to her by Dongyang real person?The little mallet obediently took off the evil spirit bead and put it in his palm, he stroked the bead carefully, and stopped talking.

"Light the incense." He suddenly ordered the girl in black gauze beside him.

The girl in black gauze immediately lit a pitch-black incense stick in the incense burner, the green smoke spread out, and there was a strange smell, the little stick could not hold back and sneezed.

Mr. Zuoqiu looked at her quietly, and said, "Don't you like the smell of this incense?"

"It's okay." Little Bangchui couldn't figure out what they were doing, so he could only adapt to the situation.

"This is miasma incense." Mr. Zuoqiu put the evil spirit bead aside, and smiled at her again, "It is made from the fur and bone marrow of monsters. The miasma that filled the forest in the second selection came from it."

……so?Little Stick still doesn't understand, what is he going to say?
"In my opinion, it's not the string of evil spirit beads that makes the miasma go around." Mr. Zuoqiu looked at her with a smile, "it's yourself. Haven't you noticed any difference in yourself since you were young? You haven't been infected by mosquitoes." Bitten? No beast?"

The little mallet opened its mouth in surprise, and when he talked about it, she realized that it was indeed the case. The master often had bedbugs and fleas on his body, but she was the only one who had never been visited by mosquitoes. She thought it was because she was cleaner than the master.

She held her breath and waited for Mr. Zuoqiu to say more about her special physique, but he became silent again.

After a while, he suddenly said: "Where is your name tag? Take it out."

Little Bangchui handed him the name tag, and Mr. Zuoqiu smiled again when he saw the three characters "Little Bangchui" written in brush on it.

"You are an orphan, raised by your master, right?"

She nodded, and told the story of Master carrying her from the river and his sudden departure.

"The name Little Bangchui will be left to you as a nickname. People still have to choose a name in a serious way. You are a woman, but you were raised by your master. You have a daughter, and you are Jiang. Your master is here I saw you in the river at the dawn of the day, and the dawn turned into dawn. You can be called Jiang Li. But Jiang Li is about to leave, which is not auspicious. Since you hope to find the master, you must not leave. If not, Vie Ye. Little stick, from today onwards, your surname is Jiang and your name is Li Fei."

Mr. Zuoqiu finished the old man's long series of half-literate words, put the name tag in his hand, and flicked his palm lightly, the three characters "little mallet" disappeared immediately, and her new name: Jiang Lifei was neatly engraved on the front of the name tag in seal script.

He handed her the complete name tag, and the little mallet felt like a dream, and he gently stroked the three characters Jiang Lifei with his hand, does she have a name?After such a string of half-literate and half-white words that she couldn't understand, there was a name?
Seeing that she didn't respond for a long time, the girl in black gauze touched her lightly: "Mr. Zuoqiu gave you a name, you should thank him."

Little Bangchui murmured: "But I...Little Bangchui...my master..."

She always felt that she had a new name, as if she was about to abandon the name Little Cudgel. This feeling was like forgetting Master. She was a little uncomfortable and a little uncomfortable.

Mr. Zuoqiu smiled and put the evil spirit beads back on her wrist, and said gently: "Jiang Lifei is the little stick, and the little stick is Jiang Lifei. Since your master gave you a nickname, I can be considered half of your master, so I will take it for you." It’s a big name, and your master will be happy when he finds out about it.”

She thought about it, nodded silently, bowed to him respectfully, and said loudly: "Thank you, Mr. Zuoqiu, for naming me."

Mr. Zuoqiu laughed, his body suddenly turned into a puff of white smoke, and a fresh green bamboo appeared at the place where it disappeared. The little club was slightly startled, and the girl in black explained: "Mr. Zuoqiu didn't come here in person, but borrowed the green bamboo Incarnate, the old man has gone back."

So that's it, Little Bangchui, no, it should be called Jiang Lifei now, Jiang Lifei raised her head, on the day when she was ten years old, she finally had an official surname and first name, and that Little Bangchui that used to be like a little beggar has become the past forever.

　I have spent several versions of the name of the little club, and finally settled on this one, the name is really a headache~
