Chapter 10 The Choice of Young Spirits
"Let's make a bet. I'll walk in now. The people from the copper-wood gate will never stop me. If I can go in, you can give me this basket of peaches." Zhu Minglang was angry and said to the peach seller.
"Okay, but I won?" The peach seller smiled, and the rye-colored skin formed a very special contrast with the bright eyes.
"I bought all your peaches."
"It doesn't seem like you have the money," said the peach seller.
"Don't worry!"
When others enter school, let alone how charming you must dress, you must be worthy of the four words dignified and neat. Zhu Minglang protects flowers all the way to the Zulong City State, and then hikes to the Dragon Training Academy. He doesn't even have the chance to take a bath. The rough cloth dress made him look a little sloppy.
Zhu Minglang himself didn't want to do this either. Before, he was poor and had no major problems with his appearance. He would be treated as a beggar. He would encounter bandits and be in trouble...
When you step into Baiyan Bridge, there are fewer hawkers, and when you get close to the copper-wood gate, it shows a bit of silence and tidyness of the elegant place.
"I'm here to enroll, this is my letter." Zhu Minglang handed over his admission notice, which was quite polite.
"How did you make it like this?" asked the uncle guarding the gate.
"I went out to train and encountered bandits on the road, and I tried my best to save this letter." Zhu Minglang explained casually.
"Well, go to the front to get the school emblem and wait a moment." The uncle at the gate nodded and signaled the person behind to lead Zhu Minglang in.
Zhu Minglang put away the letter and looked back from a distance to look at the rye-skinned girl selling peaches on the bridge, ready to smile at her like a dog.
However, the peach seller seemed to be talking about the price with a fat woman, and the argument was so fierce.
She completely forgot the bet just now!
The cold wind in the lake made someone's figure look a little bleak.
Zhu Minglang could only sigh and walk into the gate at the end.
Hiss, it's even more uncomfortable than losing!
After passing the door, the bridge disappeared. It turned out that the Baiyan Bridge was just a broken bridge. Behind the door was a moon-shaped abutment, which slowly extended under the clear lake water.
In the lake, a long-necked dragon with a wide and thick back is waiting by the abutment. It can be as big as a single room, with a neck that can be explored from underwater to the bridge door.
The long-necked dragon's skin is tight and smooth, and its size is large, but it gives people a gentle and quiet feeling. It doesn't feel any pressure when getting along well close. Compared with Luo Xiao's gilded fire dragon, it does not look like a species.
"Get a car together and you can set off." The uncle who was guarding the gate quickly brought four more people over.
There are already five people on the back of the long-necked dragon, and there are ten people in total, including Zhu Minglang and the four who later came.
Ten people and one dragon ride across the lake.
"Li Shaoying, you are the hope of the whole village. You must become a dragon shepherd no matter what." A middle-aged man who came to see him off shouted loudly.
Li Shaoying looked embarrassed, at least she had so many alumni around her.
"It doesn't matter if you don't succeed. Go back to the village early. Some people have to put the cattle and sheep in the family on the grassland. If they don't have enough food, they won't be able to save their milk. If they don't have milk, they won't be able to survive the winter. "The grazing man continued to whisper.
A low laughter sounded around, especially a few female students from the college who were about to take the Long Neck Longdu Lake, but they could not stop smiling.
The young man named Li Shaoying wanted to fall headlong into the lake. He impatiently sent the grazing man who came to send him: "I know, I understand, Uncle Hua, please go back quickly."
"Remember to share that bag of smoked venison with the students around you. If you are not familiar with the place, you must know how to make good relationships with classmates and teachers around you, so that you will not be bullied."
"Uncle, come back, please."
"Oh, I forgot to give you the medicinal wine. Come on, this person was beaten and scratched on the wound. It healed quickly."
Finally, the enthusiastic and meticulous grazing man was persuaded to leave.
If he doesn't leave, the new student named Li Shaoying will probably really commit suicide by jumping into the lake.
"You three are late to enter school. When you go to the Dragon Palace, you can only select some of the remaining young dragons. Even if the journey is long, you should set off early." The gatekeeper said to Li Shaoying, Zhu Minglang and another cold young man.
"You have just entered school?" Li Shaoying was a little surprised and looked at Zhu Minglang and the cold young man.
The cold young master didn't agree at all. It could be seen that he had no intention of dealing with a young dragon student like Li Shaoying who had never known a poor mountain village.
Li Shaoying took the initiative to talk, but the man ignored him, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
Then his eyes fell on Zhu Minglang, and his face suddenly showed a look of astonishment.
As a cowherd, Li Shaoying is already very poor, and his self-esteem has been hit hard once by the laughter of the classmates around him, but he did not expect that there are still people who look more down and out of the way than himself, and he is also a student at the Dragon Taming Academy?
Not only did the gatekeeper say that Li Shaoying thought this man was a kitchen handyman at the Dragon Training Academy.
"Are you a student too?" Li Shaoying asked.
"Yes, my blessings." My blessings kept a polite bow to show kindness and approachability.
"Oh." Li Shaoying responded perfunctorily, but did not return the gift.
Sure enough, after learning that Zhu Minglang was actually a new student, the laughter of the others came out again.
Seeing the reactions of the people around him, Zhu Minglang was not as uncomfortable as Li Shaoying had before, and looked calm.
Walking in the world, thick-skinnedness is also a rare craft.
The lake breeze is refreshing, and the long-necked dragon slowly carries ten people, approaching the lake center little by little, heading towards the palace that countless people have dreamed of - the Dragon Taming Academy.
...
At the bridgehead, the girl who had just sold several kilograms of ripe peaches, suddenly remembered something and turned to look at the tightly closed Tongmu gate.
Soon, her cheeks were filled with surprise.
"Has you thrown into the lake?"
"It's so pitiful." The girl said to herself.
...
Dragon Palace
Every student who enrolls will get a chance to choose a dragon regardless of whether he already has a young spirit.
Although people advocate the art of appreciating dragons and knowing dragons, choosing a dragon from thousands of ordinary young spirits is like finding a needle in a haystack, and even making a bet once more!
Zhu Minglang, Li Shaoying, and Gaoleng Young Master were taken to Chulong Hall. The young spirits and young spirit eggs inside were as numerous as pebbles in the river, making people dazzled.
"Select. After you have chosen, go to the old man in the hall to register and make a mark. The young spirit belongs to you." The uncle guarding the gate was also very competent and sent them all the way here and left after he explained it clearly.
Li Shaoying was a little expectant and quickly walked to the young spirit nest, staring at a group of blue bird spirits who were still in their infancy, as if they were identifying their breeds.
Zhu Minglang also followed the spreading path and observed slowly.
There are many categories, including bird spirit, river spirit, beast spirit, ancient spirit, poisonous demon, stone demon, and many sub-dragons, pseudo-dragons, and mixed dragon juvenile bodies that obviously have dragon blood. They have not truly transformed into dragons, but have already shown amazing physiques and extraordinary characteristics of dragons!
"Ha, you have made a serious choice. Did you not know anything about the Dragon Taming Academy before entering the school? There may not be a real dragon in the thousands of young spirits here. I will choose it for you here, just give you some hope as a dragon trainer." At this time, the cold young man spoke.
Zhu Minglang and Li Shaoying looked at him at the same time.
It turns out that he is not a mute.
Zhu Minglang nodded secretly and asked, "We really don't know much, tell us."
"Just catch one, don't be too slow. If you have time to choose trash here, it's better to spend more time taming your own young spirits." The cold man said.
Li Shaoying smiled embarrassedly.
Indeed, the young spirits given to the academy for free will not be much better, otherwise everyone can enter the Dragon Taming Academy to shepherd the Dragon Master, so how could there be a large number of people wandering under the Dragon Gate?
Li Shaoying finally picked the one who seemed the most competitive among the bird spirits and held it in his hand, and didn't look so important.
Zhu Minglang scratched his head.
His situation is a little awkward.
Those who can enter the Dragon Training Academy are probably already having a young spirit with good potential, and some are even missing a leap.
Li Shaoying obviously has his own young spirit, and the cold young master seemed to have a young dragon.
Bai Qi was still sleeping in the ice pupa. Zhu Minglang had nothing at this moment, and was forced to be put into the moth-related household.
It seems that I have to rely on the college to make up for the help I have to go to school.
However, at least this is Zhu Minglang's start. Zhu Minglang was too lazy to listen to the arrogant explanation of the cold young man, and still chose it seriously.
Knowing a dragon is like appreciating a treasure...
It requires extremely high eyesight and a little luck.
It just so happens that Zhu Minglang has neither.
Blind and introverted.
But you still need to have a sense of ritual and your attitude must be correct.
"Can you be faster?" Gao Leng Gongzi said in a tone.
