Chapter 26 26
Xu Yunji and Shen Xie stayed in the Forbidden City for most of the day, wandered around to see two or three exhibitions inside, and played with a few cats under a lush tree for a long time.
When I left, the sky was already covered with layers of rich gold and orange colors, painted on one by one, brilliant and brilliant.
The eaves of the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City are so dazzling that people dare not look at them.
Both of them walked out from the exit without looking back.
There is a mobile vending kiosk nearby, and Xu Yunji couldn't help but feel a little greedy when he watched several waist-high children chattering arm in arm and discussing what popsicles to eat.
After most of the day, his awe towards Big Brother Long faded before he knew it, so he lightly slapped the man's arm with his elbow:
"Senior, do you want ice cream?"
"ice cream?"
Xu Yunji heard his voice puzzled, and then realized that this person probably had never eaten.Not to mention that demon cultivators and divine beasts are relatively less particular about their appetites, but even human cultivators in ancient times only had ice bowls to eat at most. How can there be such a variety of popsicle ice cream in modern times.
"Then senior, try it—I will choose according to the taste I like. Eat one to cool down."
The young man smiled and pulled Shen Xie to tell him to stand aside for a while, while he leaned in front of the mobile car, stood behind a bunch of radishes, and stretched his neck to see the different varieties and flavors in the refrigerator.
The little boy in front of him, who was about five or six years old, was holding a cute donut cone in one hand and a box of Helu Xue milkshake in the other, hesitated, and finally turned his neck and shouted to the side: "Mom, mom, I want them all! "
Then a woman in her 30s and [-]s squeezed over, took a look at the things in his hand, and put them all back in the refrigerator: "The things near the scenic spots are extremely expensive-the things that usually sell for five yuan can be sold for fifteen here. You have to I’ll buy you a popsicle if you eat it, not a cone.”
As he spoke, he picked out an old popsicle and stuffed it in the child's hand.
The little boy yelled: "No! No! I want a cone!"
"Either hold a popsicle, or get you nothing." A warning from being a mom.
The little boy struggled for a while, and nodded aggrievedly holding the old popsicle.The mother paid the money and took the child away—the child couldn't wait to tear open the package and eat it, but he looked back at the refrigerator while walking.
Xu Yunji looked amused.He didn't have any preference at first, but just now when he heard the little boy clamoring for a cone, his interest was also aroused, so he couldn't help but took two out of the refrigerator, one chocolate and one strawberry.After thinking about it, looking at the pink and tender packaging of the strawberry flavor, I put it back and replaced it with a vanilla one.
"how much is it?"
"Two twenty."
Tsk.It really is expensive.
Xu Yunji thought.
The price level of this world is the same as that of Shuyuan Continent.Twenty cones for two, indeed, as the boy's mother said, the price of the scenic spot.
But think about the fact that one of these two cones is about to become the first mythical beast boss I have ever seen, and it may also be the first cone eaten by the only mythical beast boss who is still active in this world , Immediately, I felt that the things that were sold for five yuan in these two other places seemed worth the money.
"Senior choose one?"
Shen Xie looked at the two cones approaching him, took the darker one casually, tore off the upper edge of the paper package, and took a bite.The cold breath and the sweet taste poured into the mouth together, but that was all: "Do you think it's delicious?"
The young man beside him eats differently from him. He was licking the surface of the cone with his tongue, and tilted his head when he heard the words: "Senior, I am used to eating the sweets of heaven and earth, so I definitely don't think it is rare, but the ones that I eat are cool and enjoyable. I don't think so." Is it comfortable to take a bite on a hot day?"
The man watched him eating happily, his eyes darkened, and he stretched out his empty hand for a while and tapped the corner of his mouth: "Here."
"Ok?"
The young man raised his head and looked at him with bright black eyes.
The setting sun hit the side of his face, the fine down on his cheeks were all warm in color, and the eyelashes cast long shadows under his eyes, making them thick and curled.
Shen Xie's throat suddenly moved.
"It's on the corner of my mouth."
The other party immediately wiped it with the back of his hand, but it was not completely wiped clean.
Shen Xie gave a "tsk", with a bit of disgust on his expression.
Xu Yunji felt embarrassed: he looks so stupid in front of the big boss, does it mean that big boss Ying Long thinks he is mentally retarded?
But a hand stretched out——
No, there is no intimate drama like "reaching out to wipe the corner of the mouth" where the emotional line seems to be advancing at eight times speed.After all, the two of them had only known each other for two days.
The two present were people from the cultivation world and a divine beast.Especially a certain Mr. Shen, whose convenience in using spells is about equal to that of ordinary people using paper towels.
So Xu Yunji watched helplessly as a ball of transparent water popped out of the slender hand in front of him, followed by his cheeks cooling down, and the moist water vapor rushed to the corner of his mouth, and soon disappeared, leaving only a refreshing feeling.
...This is, Mr. Ying Long wiped his mouth with a water polo?
Xu Yunji couldn't care less about the embarrassment for a while, and looked at the man across from him flattered, never expecting that this boss would be so "respectful and virtuous corporal".
Shen Xie looked at the young man in front of him, staring at him stupidly like a small animal, glanced at the ice cream in his hand, and raised his eyebrows: "I won't eat ice cream anymore."
Only then did the young man let out an "oh" as if he had just woken up from a dream, and lowered his head to lick the cone in his hand.
"What do you want for dinner, senior?"
"as you like."
"Hmm... senior, do you know that the most difficult answer is 'casual'?" Xu Yunji complained in a low voice, holding a cone in one hand and swiping his phone in the other, "I'll check the recommendations nearby...all are recommendations Old Beijing cuisine. I think this senior must be very familiar with it, and I don’t know where it is compared to the authentic ones that are advertised now? ——How about Jiangnan cuisine?”
The mobile phone screen was stretched out in front of the man's eyes. On it were photos of the restaurant's facade and dishes, as well as comments.
Shen Xie nodded indifferently, and ate up the cone in his hands in two bites.
- not very tasty.
It is too sweet for him, and the taste has no layering, it is purely sweet and cold.
He has eaten a lot of spiritual fruits, and was once regarded as a guest in the largest sect of human cultivation. He has tasted the best delicacy that humans could think of back then, and the taste is far better than this.
But eating this cheap mortal food, unexpectedly did not feel disgusted.It's like being on the street, passing by all the mortals who are as short-lived as mayflies to him, and the strange mortal vehicles called cars are very noisy, but he doesn't feel impatient.
Just like the cultivator beside me, although his age and talent are outstanding, his overall strength is mediocre, but it is not boring to let him call "senior" to lead him around boldly.
Xu Yunji spent three days playing in the capital with the boss, and then he received a call from Qin Tong'an. The super management department contacted his superiors for urgent special approval, and the permission for the training class he wanted to hold came down.
"...The superior of the Supervision Department? Which department?"
"Ministry of National Security." Xu Yunji is now a member of the Department of Supervision, and Qin Tongan didn't hide it from him, "However, we are not in the subordinate agencies of National Security—of course, we are not the only ones who are 'invisible'. ... You have only entered the WTO not long ago , I don’t know much about the world of comprehension and the super management department, and I don’t have any contacts. I guess you can’t get the hardware and software ready quickly even if you get the approval. The office building built last year in this department has not yet been officially moved in. Yu Si I said I will use it for you first, but after that, you still have to find a place for yourself when you grow up."
Xu Yunji was new to this world, but he was not ignorant of people and the world. He could understand how much effort the Superintendent had put in when he heard it, and he immediately thanked him repeatedly.
Qin Tong'an said: "Don't thank me, the director said that you are benefiting the whole cultivation world, and the department can't just watch over it. We also used official channels to tell several major sects and families in the cultivation world about the recruitment, but listen You mean no matter which school or state you are in, do you still plan to recruit students from small sects or even casual cultivators?"
Xu Yunji said yes.
"Well——then I'll send you a link later. You download an app for internal use in the cultivation world. You need the registration number of the Supervision Department to register and log in. You can post an enrollment notice in the forum."
"Okay, thank you, Sister Qin. I just started this training class, and I'm still testing the waters. It's not easy to accept too many people at once, fifty is enough. If there are enough people recruited through official channels, then don't use it for now. Going to post."
"At present, there are 29 people who have told us that they are interested in signing up."
"29 people?"
This number surprised Xu Yunji: too few.
It's not that he thinks highly of himself, it's mainly because, as Director Yu Xiangying said before, if a cultivator here wants to learn a spell, unless he has a teacher or a family inheritance, there is no way at all.All sects and sects are afraid that others will learn their own things.And his training class can be learned with a little money, and there is no need to pay attention to the succession of the teacher, and there is no need to abide by any school rules. It is just like extracurricular training and on-the-job postgraduate entrance examination tutoring. It is a pie in the sky in this cultivation world.
——Just like that, only 29 people signed up?
Is it okay for him to try out his first class?It is only charged the second time.
Perhaps hearing the astonishment in his tone, Qin Tong'an on the other end smiled a little embarrassedly: "This incident was very unexpected to Si Fengsi. I thought that such a good thing, the registration should be filled soon. But..."
She explained it to Xu Yunji before she understood, and rolled her eyes after listening.
What Qin Tong'an meant was that when the heads of those sect families heard what kind of training class Xu Yunji was going to hold, their first reaction was to object!
There are some people who come out of nowhere, and who are less than a fraction of their age are willing to start teaching classes, and they are so arrogant that there is no limit.
Others blew their beards and stared, saying that this way of training was degrading.Practitioners all pay attention to a inheritance, which sect to join and learn which sect's cultivation method is to practice spells, but more importantly, to follow the master to conduct personal practice, which is to cultivate the mind.If you let people from your own sect go to the training class to learn, is this inheritance still pure?Can you still call him a disciple of this sect?
"...The original words are 'Sliding the world is a big joke! Cultivation like this, how is it different from the college entrance examination sprint class, Luxiang Technical School, and New Western extracurricular classes? It's simply insulting to the gentlemen!'"
Qin Tong'an lowered his voice and quietly complained to Xu Yunji, with a rather helpless tone: "We directly contacted the heads of several sects and families, and these people are old antiques, most of them also miss the obsession with the ancient world of self-cultivation. I can’t wait to have a renaissance and go back to the time when everyone in the world is a big boss like "walking with feathers all over the ground, and the cleanness is not as good as a dog", teaching students also follow the ancient way. Tell them that the ancient times are mostly because of the abundance of aura , They don't listen to the inheritance, they insist on engaging in that kind of private school-style, master-apprentice teaching..."
Xu Yunji understood.
I don't have any views on sects, and I teach openly and openly, and people don't care to learn. I think the training class is a wild way and crooked way; I feel that after you have trained, the inheritance of disciples will not be pure.
And insulting?
Ha ha!
