Wenhua College has not many students, but it occupies a lot of land, which is comparable to the Duke's Palace.
There were still guards at the door. Those who were not students or did not have a pass from the academy were not allowed to enter. At this time, the two guards at the door were watching Gu Zheng and Hou Ping warily.
The two men were dressed in fancy clothes and both carried weapons. Although the weapons were wrapped in cloth, anyone with a clear eye could tell at a glance that one was a gun and the other was a knife, and the knife was still on his back.
"Please tell me, I'm looking for Dean Bai Yi!"
The guard at the door stood up straight, and he looked like a military man. Seeing this ancient struggle, he probably felt a little weird. This fellow who traveled through time might have also traveled through time in modern times.
The guard was still vigilant and asked Gu Zheng directly: "Look for the dean, have you made an appointment?"
"reserve?"
Gu Zheng laughed and continued: "You tell him how much sorrow you can have, and he will understand!"
How much sorrow can you have?
This poem was read by Gu Zheng when he was in Jin Mansion. He didn't know if Bai Yi had plagiarized it, but he could tell from the expressions of everyone that day that Bai Yi had not used this poem yet.
Since it has never been used before, that is the best password.
The guard looked at him suspiciously, but one person still ran into the academy. It seemed that he was going to report. The poem "asking you how sad you are" has actually spread to Kyoto Prefecture and has been praised by many people. Some people even said
, there is finally someone in the Qinglong Empire who can compete with the Poet Saint Bai Yi.
Yes, Bai Yi has the title of Poet Saint in the Qinglong Empire.
However, not many people agree with this statement. Although this is a masterpiece that may be remembered for centuries, Bai Yi has too many masterpieces that will be remembered for generations. Not to mention others, the song "When Will the Bright Moon Come" is simply immortal.
A masterpiece that no one can compare to.
After all, Bai Yi has been famous here for many years. Gu Zheng, who is Gu Zheng? No one knows at all.
"You two, the dean invites you!"
The guard who ran to report came back soon, and Bai Yi agreed to see him. This was not surprising to Gu Zheng. If he knew that a time traveler came here to look for him, Gu Zheng would also go to see him.
"It's noon on the day of hoeing, and the sweat is dripping from the soil..."
Gu Zheng walked past a house. The students inside were reciting poems. This familiar verse almost made Gu Zheng laugh out loud. Gu Zheng paid attention. There were more than a dozen students in this classroom, all of whom were very young. Look.
When you come to this academy, students are educated according to their age.
Behind the academy, in a luxurious hall, Gu Zheng met Bai Yi.
Yes, it is a main hall. In fact, Wenhua Academy was transformed from a palace. This hall is the main hall of the palace and is now Bai Yi's office and conference room.
"Wenjun Guozou was written by you?"
When they met, Bai Yi didn't say anything and asked directly.
Gu Zheng looked at Bai Yi. He was a young man in his twenties, with good looks and a good temperament. He fit the image of the protagonist of some time-travel novels. Bai Yi was sitting at the desk with rice paper on the table.
It seems like he wrote something else.
In addition to Bai Yi, there are three people sitting at the small desk next to him, all of whom are Bai Yi's secretaries.
"When is the National Day?"
Gu Zheng didn't answer the question and was not polite. After asking, he found a seat and sat down. Hou Ping stood behind Gu Zheng and did not sit down.
Bai Yi's eyes flashed: "Eleventh!"
That's right, this Bai Yi is about the same age as he was on earth, and the difference is probably not too long.
"Who is the president of the United States?" Bai Yi suddenly asked.
Gu Zheng smiled: "When I left, it seemed like it was Trump!"
"I was Obama at that time!" Bai Yi looked a little sad. He knew before when he heard that he asked Jun how sad he could be that a fellow countryman had traveled through time. Now he is absolutely sure that not only is he a fellow countryman, he is also from about the same era.
people.
"How long have you been here?" Bai Yi asked again.
The three secretaries next to him all looked confused. They didn't understand what they were talking about. They couldn't understand what the president was, what breed of horse, could it be a new breed of horse, or some kind of monster?
beast?
"How long? It's hard to say!"
Gu Zheng seems to have fallen into memories? How long has it been since he ascended to the prehistoric world? Even if he left the earth, it seems to have been a long time.
"It doesn't matter if you don't want to say it. Today I invite you to try my cooking skills!"
Bai Yi did not ask further questions. In fact, he was very excited and happy at this moment. He came earlier than Gu Zheng. He traveled through time after being aborted for twenty-three years.
He was born into a good family. Although there was no title in his family, his father was a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and now he has also reached the position of Minister. On earth, that is the level of deputy minister.
Here, he is a proper second generation.
In addition, he is smart, has the memory of the earth, can write poems, and is talented. He is also a Jingwu double ball. Now the martial artist has reached the middle level, and the spiritual master is practicing the middle and low-level skills. He has a big heart and is a medium level martial artist.
The lower level is just a transition, he will eventually have to practice higher spiritual skills.
In fact, he was very satisfied with this kind of life, but in the dead of night, he couldn't help but think of that blue planet.
"Your cooking skills?"
Gu Zheng looked a little weird. Talking about cooking skills in front of him? This is not the same as showing off a sword in front of Guan Gong. It's hard to say anything else, but when it comes to cooking skills, Gu Zheng believes that few people can surpass him.
"Yes, you will definitely like it!"
Bai Yi strode to one side. There was the kitchen over there. Gu Zheng followed him. The decoration of this kitchen was actually very Western-style, like a Western-style restaurant. Bai Yi replaced everything that was not available in this world with other things.
.
"It's a pity that I am a liberal arts student. If I were a science major, I might be able to make lime and glass. What about you? What did you study?"
Bai Yi entered the kitchen and started working. While he was busy, he was talking to Gu Zheng.
As a liberal arts student, no wonder he only sells poetry, and can only use crystal instead of glass. It turns out that this person doesn’t know how to do it at all.
But having said that, no one can make glass, lime, muskets, etc. when he travels back in time. If he doesn't understand, even if he knows what glass is, he won't be able to make it unless he carries Baidu with him.
Don't talk about him, Gu Zheng can't do it either.
He can conjure it, but he cannot create it.
After a while, Gu Zheng's expression became even weirder. What Bai Yi cooked turned out to be Western food. He carefully placed several pieces of steak on the frying pan, but the way he put them was wrong, which made Gu Zheng shake his head.
Except that the steak was wrong, and his condiments were not good either. After watching Gu Zheng for a while, I couldn't stand it any longer, so I just pushed him aside and started to do it myself.
After just a while, the rich fragrance made Bai Yi couldn't help but sniff his nose.
"Brother Gu, I really didn't expect that your cooking skills are so good. Could it be that you are actually a chef with three stars?"
After taking just one bite of the cooked steak, Bai Yi couldn't help but give it a thumbs up to praise it. The three stars referred to three Michelin stars, and Gu Zheng was a little surprised.
He used to be much better than a three-star Michelin chef. He was thinking of his father. Maybe he would have a chance to go back and see his father in the future.
"Yes, I used to be a cook!"
Gu Zheng smiled and nodded. There was nothing the chef couldn't admit. He had indeed been a chef, but he was the boss's chef.
"Then Brother Gu, you must stay with me for a while and let me have a full meal!"
Bai Yi laughed loudly. It could be seen that he was very happy. It was just that the three secretaries who kept swallowing their saliva were unlucky. Usually Bai Yi would call them when making something to eat, but today he didn't call. After a while, Bai Yi
He Guzheng and the others ate more than a dozen steaks.
"Brother Gu, I heard that you are also practicing both Jingwu and Jingwu, and you practice very quickly. Is it possible that you are the protagonist of this world? Otherwise, why would I practice so slowly?"
He wasn't full, but there was no need to continue eating. The drink Bai Yi took out was Yuan Qi Liquid, which was very filling. Even if it was Gu Zheng, he would be full after just a few drinks.
This can save food and waste time, but the taste is, how should I put it, not bad, but not much better, similar to sugar water.
If Gu was asked to fight for the election, he would rather waste time eating more than drinking this stuff.
"There is no protagonist, only a supporting role. If it succeeds, it is the protagonist. If it fails, it is not!"
Gu Zheng shook his head with a smile. Bai Yi was slightly startled, clapped his hands and laughed: "Brother Gu is right. When you meet an old friend in a foreign country, come here, I'll toast you with a drink!"
What Bai Yi got this time was wine. The wine was pretty good, better than that guy Jin Yu's, but for Gu Zheng, it could only be like that.
Bai Yi still doesn't know how to make wine and is too lazy to do it.
"Brother Gu, where do you plan to develop in the future?" Bai Yi asked softly after finishing his meal.
"I'm different from you. I plan to take a good look at this world. I'm not limited to any place. I'll take a look at the Qinglong Empire. Then I'll go to the other three empires, and then the Stardust Sea, Southern Wasteland, and Beiyuan.
Everyone go and take a look!”
The Stardust Sea mentioned by Gu Zheng is on the easternmost side of the world. It is an endless sea. Nanhuang is further south in the Xuanwu Empire, and Beiyuan is in the northernmost part of the Suzaku Empire.
The four great empires are the Qinglong, Suzaku, Xuanwu, and White Tiger kingdoms. Qinglong is located on the east side, and the Stardust Sea is to the east of it.
As for the far west, there is a vast desert. I am not interested in the ancient desert dispute, so I did not mention it.
"Brother Gu is so elegant. Can I ask, how strong is Brother Gu now?" Bai Yi nodded, not surprised by Gu Zheng's thoughts. If he hadn't traveled here since childhood, maybe he would be like Gu Zheng.
Take a look at this world.
Gu Zheng said nothing, his body was shining with purple light, and more than a hundred acupuncture points lit up at the same time, all glowing purple. He was a high-level and intermediate warrior.
Soon, fifty purple souls appeared on the top of Gu Zheng's head. Bai Yi suddenly moved, while the three secretaries and Hou Ping opened their mouths wide, and they were all frightened.
It's okay to be a high-level or intermediate martial artist. Hou Ping knew that Gu Zheng was powerful before and knew that he was good at both Jingwu and Jingwu. However, he never expected that Gu Zheng was a high-level and top spiritual master.
Fifty souls, all with purple light. Such a spiritual master can instantly kill a warrior of the same level. Fifty souls have more than a hundred characteristics. No matter how powerful they are, it is useless. These stacks of characteristics can kill a warrior.
Previously Hou Ping thought that Gu Zheng redeemed his life by asking him to be a bodyguard, but now he saw that he was not qualified to be a bodyguard at all.
He is a high-level spiritual master and also a high-level and intermediate martial artist. With such dual cultivation of Jingwu, no one can be his opponent unless the legendary Heaven Level appears.
"Brother Gu, it's really, really surprising!"
Bai Yi was also stunned. He had lived in this world longer and understood better what Gu Zheng's strength meant. No wonder the Bai family specially sent someone to send him a message. If he saw Gu Zheng, he must
Find a way to keep him.
Unfortunately, Bai Yi knew very well that he could not leave Gu Zheng behind.
Gu Zheng left, taking Hou Ping with him. He did not stay in the college, but in an inn in Kyoto City, the capital of the Qinglong Empire. Gu Zheng did not plan to leave so soon. He wanted to take a good look here.
Kyoto Prefecture is bigger than Dabai Prefecture, Daan Prefecture, and Daqing Prefecture. I am afraid that the three prefectures taken together cannot compare to Kyoto Prefecture.
According to statistics, Kyoto Prefecture has a population of three million. Three million is definitely a huge number in this world.
If calculated based on the scale of cities on the earth, three million is not much. Some prefecture-level cities can reach it. Many provincial capital cities exceed this number. Those megacities often have tens of millions, and more than 20 million is not enough.
Quite a few.
But the cities on Earth are full of high-rise buildings and have a strong three-dimensional effect. Even here in Kyoto Prefecture, the tallest building is only a dozen floors, and it is also a tower. The highest building that is actually used by people is only five floors.
In fact, most of the buildings are one-story, especially the palaces of the princes, which are all one-story. Only the shops facing the street have two or three floors. Calculated in this way, the size of Kyoto Prefecture is by no means inferior to that of the earth.
big city on.
A large population is also equivalent to one word: lively.
Various temple fairs, markets, commercial districts, etc. are everywhere. The markets in other prefectures usually have six to nine. The markets in Kyoto Prefecture have a total of forty-five, and the size of each market is huge.
It is larger than other prefectures.
This is the real center, the real big city.
Gu Zheng likes to visit the market here very much. It feels like traveling through ancient time and space. Especially now, it feels more relaxed to be alone in another world.
The filly and the other two horses stayed at the inn. Hou Ping followed Gu Zheng with his knife on his back and Gu Zheng's spear.
Swords and guns are not allowed in the outer city of Kyoto Prefecture, but they are prohibited in the inner city. You are never allowed to bring weapons into the inner city. Those who live in the inner city are the real nobles.
"Objective, do you want to burn incense? The incense here is the best and the most effective!"
Next to a temple fair, a discerning vendor yelled at Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng looked at the City God's Temple, smiled and shook his head.
I don’t know if there is a palace in the underworld in this world. If there is, the city gods can’t bear the incense he puts on it, so they don’t want to cause trouble.
There are quite a few small things around the Chenghuang Temple. Gu Zheng was surprised to find that there were some good things here that were being sold as ordinary things.
For example, he saw a three-yellow stone and was mistaken for an ordinary topaz.
The value of topaz is not low, but it is far inferior to that of three yellow stones. Ordinary topaz can have at most ten vitality cards per pound, but three yellow stones can have at least a thousand vitality cards per pound, which is hundreds of times different.
Topaz is an ordinary accessory, and three yellow stones can be used to create a space bracelet specifically for spiritual masters' cultivation. With the space bracelet, you don't need to carry so many things with you, and can put all your items into the three yellow stones.
Generally speaking, ten kilograms of three yellow stones can create one cubic meter of space. Ten kilograms of three yellow stones, worth tens of thousands of yuanqi cards, are only one cubic meter. Most real space bracelets start at ten cubic meters, which is too small.
Unstable and prone to problems.
In other words, a space bracelet starts with a hundred thousand vitality cards before the raw materials. No wonder Gu Zheng has never seen a single bracelet when he came to this world.
Jin Yu didn't, Jin Kai didn't, and Bai Yi didn't either.
On the contrary, the master of Dabai Mansion has one in his hand. Unfortunately, Gu Zheng has never seen him, so naturally he has never added such a space bracelet.
Gu Zheng bought a three-yellow stone at a small stall. It weighed about two kilograms. Although it was small, no matter how small a mosquito was, it was still a piece of meat. Gu Zheng should consider buying or building a space bracelet to always carry it.
It's not convenient to have so many things.
He used to have a magic weapon for storing things, but now that he doesn't have it, he's really not used to it.
The matter of space bracelets will be put on the agenda.
While visiting the temple fair, Gu Zheng bought a lot of things, all of which were in Hou Ping's hands. There were some small items that he had picked up, and some that he simply liked.
In addition, the most abundant ingredients are all kinds of raw materials. Before, he didn't have much money to buy them. Now that he has money, he has a foundation. This time Guzheng is a big purchase. When he has a space bracelet in the future, he will buy more.
With more, you no longer have to worry about not having enough ingredients to eat more delicious food on the road.
"Bai Yi, do you think Gu Zheng is trustworthy?"
Gu Zheng didn't know that after he returned to the inn, someone was talking about him in the palace, and they were all important figures from the enemy country.
The leader of the country, Qing Di, the prime minister Zhou Tianyuan, the general marshal Bai Zifeng, King Zhengyi, the Marquis of Taiping, the head of the military aircraft pavilion, etc., plus the leader of the country, plus Bai Yi, there are exactly ten civil and military ministers.
"Your Majesty, I can vouch for him, he is not a member of the enemy country!"
Bai Yi was at the bottom, clasping his fists and saluting. The Dabai Mansion was investigating the ancient dispute again. In fact, the capital was also investigating. A person who practiced quickly and practiced martial arts would be taken seriously everywhere.
And what Bai Yi brought back shocked the entire empire.
Gu Zheng had actually cultivated Xiaoyao Jue and became a high-level spiritual master. Coupled with his status as a high-level and mid-level warrior, this kind of strength made the king take great care of him.
"Are you so sure that, as far as I know, you have only met him once?"
Qingdi looked at Bai Yi and asked slowly. Qingdi had a very good impression of Bai Yi. It could even be said that he had watched him grow up and had deep trust in Bai Yi.
Everyone in the empire knows that although Bai Yi only holds the position of dean of the academy and has no official position, in the empire, Bai Yi is one of the people who must not be provoked, and his ranking is still higher than some princes.
"Your Majesty, one side is enough!"
Bai Yi smiled and nodded, how did Gu Zheng come about? Maybe he wore it and came directly to this world, otherwise how could there be no trace at all, and hadn't it been found out before that someone had given Gu Zheng the technique? Maybe
He is a genius and can practice extremely quickly.
This kind of thing rarely happens to others, but if it happens to a time traveler, it is not an accident.
Put it this way, the real protagonist of this world is Gu Zheng, not him. He just came to explore the way in advance. Bai Yi felt a lot more relaxed when he thought about it. He actually didn't want to be the protagonist, he just wanted to live a happy life, otherwise
Why didn't he take the opportunity to become an official?
