Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 18: Xie Fengtang

"There is a thief!"

A high-pitched shout suddenly sounded, tearing through the night and spreading throughout Wanhe Garden.

The shout spread all over the place, immediately attracting countless students to look around. Some even heard the direction of the sound and were already running towards this direction.

In a blink of an eye, a large number of students were standing at the door of Tao Ranju. A group of students on duty rushed through the crowd and saw Tang Jie standing at the door.

"What happened? Shouting!" one of the pickets said angrily.

Tang Jie had already said to the man: "Brother, a thief just entered my house at night with the intention of stealing?"

When these words came out, the crowd immediately became noisy.

Xiyue Academy is the most advanced academy in Wenxin. It is governed by immortal masters. Even a mouse can hardly come in and take a bite without permission. There has been no thief incident for an unknown amount of time. I didn’t expect it to happen today. When this happened, there was a lot of discussion.

The students in charge of the picket were also stunned, and one of them asked: "Can you see who it is?"

Tang Jie replied: "The night was too dark. The disciple just came back and didn't see clearly who it was."

"What did you lose?"

"That's it. Everything in the house is in place."

"Then why are you calling a thief?" The student was also angry.

Tang Jie calmly pointed to a pile of flour on the ground and said, "If there are no thieves, where did the footprints on this ground come from?"

Compared with the footprints Tang Jie saw before, the footprints he was pointing to now were much "clearer".

The student was immediately stunned.

The rules of Xiyue Academy are strict. Without permission, you are not allowed to enter other people's houses even if you are on picket duty. If you enter without invitation, even if you are not a thief, you will be arrested and tortured.

Now that Tang Jie has "evidence", it is impossible not to ask about this matter.

The leading student immediately lit up a communication talisman, and within a short time, someone appeared in front of Tao Ran.

It was Xin Yue and Si Yue'er.

As soon as Xin Yue arrived, he snorted: "There hasn't been any robberies in Xiyue Academy for a long time. I didn't expect that there would be such excitement today."

As he said that, he strode into Tang Jie's house, looked around and said, "Who is the owner of the house?"

Tang Jie stood up and cupped his hands: "Xiyue student Tang Jie has met Master Xin, Master Si."

"So it's you." Xin Yue looked at Tang Jie, with a rare smile on his face.

As a top student, Tang Jie had a pretty good impression in the eyes of the masters.

Xin Yue even remembers that in the first class, Tang Jie was the only person who carefully recorded everything he said with a pen.

Although he himself does not take the classes he teaches seriously, it always makes people feel happy when someone takes his classes seriously.

Xin Yue nodded at this moment: "Tell me what you discovered."

Tang Jie then told the story of how he "accidentally" found someone else's footprints on the flour he spilled when he came back from joining the association.

As he said that, he pointed to the footprints on the ground and said, "Master, please look, the size of these shoe prints is definitely much larger than the boy's feet. There is no way I could have left them on my own, and the shoe prints are not right either."

Xin Yue only glanced at it and continued to ask: "What is missing in the room?"

"That's right. Not only was it not lost, it was in good condition. It looked like nothing had been touched."

"Oh? He sneaked over here while you were away, but didn't do anything?" Xin Yue raised his eyebrows, looked at the room carefully, and suddenly squeezed the magic formula with both hands, shooting out a stream of spiritual energy that fell on the things in the room. , and then his expression suddenly changed: "Everything here has been enchanted..."

The things in the house were bewitched, and the nature of the matter obviously changed. If someone planted a vicious spell on these ordinary objects, it would probably harm people's lives.

Si Yue'er already said: "What kind of magic can we possibly find out?"

She is not like Xin Yue. In addition to giving lectures, Xin Yue is also responsible for insight and is best at discovering hidden signs.

Xin Yue shook his head: "It doesn't look like some kind of curse or evil spell, but I don't know what the purpose is. I'll check it out more carefully."

He was about to check again when he heard a voice behind him: "No need to check, it's a method of returning to the origin."

Everyone turned around suddenly and saw a middle-aged man in green robe standing at the door of the house.

The man in green robe had a majestic appearance and a somewhat calm and authoritative demeanor. At this moment, he walked straight in from the door with his hands behind his back. When the two Xin Si saw it, they both bowed at the same time: "Thank you, Hall Master!"

Hearing this title, Tang Jie still didn’t know who was coming?

Xie Fengtang, Vice President of Xiyue College!

The Xiyue Sect has eight inner halls and eight outer halls. Xiyue Academy is actually just a component of the Central Training Hall of the eight inner halls under the Xiyue Sect, tasked with training disciples.

Due to the important status of Xiyue College, the head of the college is usually the head of the training hall. Therefore, the main head of the college, Feng Hongluan, is away from home all year round. On weekdays, he is like a dragon that sees its head but not its tail. The students only know his name but not his name. People, most of the affairs of Xiyue Academy are handled by the deputy dean Xie Fengtang, and Xie Fengtang himself is also one of the two deputy deans of the training hall.

For this reason, college masters sometimes call the principal and deputy masters the hall master, because they themselves are subordinates of the training hall, but this is not a title that students are qualified to call.

Seeing Xie Fengtang suddenly appear at this moment, Tang Jie also hurriedly bowed down: "I have met the master."

"Get up." Xie Fengtang waved his hand, and an invisible force helped Tang Jie get up.

At this time, Xin Yue said: "Master, did you just say that it is a method of returning to the origin? But this is a method that can only be used in the transcendent realm. Could it be that the people who broke in here are actually students in the transcendent realm of my college? ?"

What is a student who has escaped from the mortal world doing in a freshmen dormitory?

Is there anything here worth stealing from the mortal realm?

Thinking of this, Xin Yue looked at Tang Jie suspiciously.

Tang Jie looked indifferent, as if he didn't understand anything.

Xie Fengtang has already said: "It is not clear whether the other party is a student of Xiyue, but the function of returning to origin is to return all objects to their original state. In this case, it means that the intruder does not want his arrival to be discovered... ”

Hearing this, Xin and Si's eyes lit up: "That's right, isn't this intruder here to steal something?"

As college masters, they actually don’t want this to happen. After all, it won’t sound good if it spreads.

When a person reaches a high position and has all rights and interests, that is, just because of his reputation, he must pay special attention to it.

Xie Fengtang said leisurely: "Maybe I just didn't find what I wanted."

Si Yue'er said: "No matter what the purpose of coming, since we know that the infiltrator used the method of returning to the origin, let's check which students in the college have learned this method, and then corresponding to where they are at this time, they should You can find out who did it. Humph, if you dare to do such a sneaky thing in the college, you will be caught out, severely punished, and kicked out of the college!"

She is really passionate about chasing people away.

Unexpectedly, Xie Fengtang replied: "No need to check. There are more than 10,000 students in Xiyue College, and only five fingers of the number have learned this method. Even if there are so few, I guarantee that no matter which one you check, you will know it. Found them innocent."

"Huh?" Si Yuer was stunned: "Why is this?"

Xie Fengtang sighed: "Yue'er, don't always think about driving students away when you have nothing to do in the future, okay? Use your brain when you encounter problems. Think about it, what kind of magic is returning to the origin? , and what kind of person can learn it?"

Si Yuer's heart trembled when she heard this.

Return to Origin is a spell that returns objects to their original form. Because they have no combat effectiveness and most of the academy disciples work hard to break through the realm, few people learn this spell.

Those who are really willing to learn are actually those who hide in the dark and perform special tasks.

This kind of people usually have to carry out secret infiltration missions, and it is best not to be discovered. Learning this technique is quite useful. If Tang Jie hadn't discovered the footprints, over time, the remaining traces on those objects would be Once the traces of spiritual energy dissipate, even gods will not notice it.

In Xiyue College, there are very few students who make this choice.

No, it’s not nothing!

Si Yue'er's eyes lit up: "Could it be the sky..."

Xie Fengtang stopped her talking with a move of her hand: "There is no evidence, so don't make wild guesses."

Si Yue'er took a deep breath: "Yes, but I don't understand. If it's really them, why would they do this?"

"Then you have to ask him." Xie Fengtang looked at Tang Jie: "What is your name?"

Tang Jie immediately replied: "The student's name is Tang Jie!"

Xie Fengtang asked casually, but he didn't expect that he would ask Tang Jie's name.

Surprised, his expression changed: "What did you say your name was?"

"Student Tang Jie has met the master of the hospital!" Tang Jie replied loudly, holding up the scoreboard with his name on it.

Xie Fengtang's face brightened when he saw the words on the points plate: "It turns out to be Tang Jie..."

He looked back and saw that a man had handed over a roster. Xie Fengtang flipped through it a few times and frowned: "Why is there no information about this person?"

The man replied: "The information is incomplete, someone must have suppressed it intentionally."

Here, Tang Jie has replied: "Disciple Tang Jie, a native of Qiongzhou, was in trouble due to the massacre by Yegu Yuan horse thieves, and entered the Wei Mansion three years ago."

Xie Fengtang was slightly stunned: "Qiongzhou? Ye Gu originally? Entered the Wei Mansion three years ago, three years ago...so that's how it is."

He nodded repeatedly, and a smile appeared on his originally calm face.

Xin Yue and Si Yue'er were confused and looked at Xie Fengtang together: "Master, is there any problem?"

Xie Fengtang shook his head: "Nothing, haha, I really didn't expect..."

He looked at Tang Jie again and said nothing. His eyes moved and his expression kept changing. He didn't know what he was thinking.

Tang Jie was a little frightened by his gaze and shrank his neck: "House...Housemaster, did you do something wrong?"

Xie Fengtang's face changed for a moment, then he finally shook his head and said: "No, you did nothing wrong. On the contrary, you did very well...very well!"

Tang Jie breathed a sigh of relief and said: "As soon as I came back, I saw the footprints of a stranger. I was a little frightened, so I shouted, but I didn't expect to alert the hospital master. From now on, I No more fuss."

"It doesn't matter." Xie Fengtang patted Tang Jie on the shoulder: "Anyway, someone did break in here. This matter was caused by the lax management of Xiyue College. I am the deputy dean. There is also a responsibility."

"Huh?" Xin Yue and Si Yue'er looked at Xie Fengtang in shock at the same time.

Xie Fengtang has continued: "Since you have been frightened, the college should naturally compensate you."

"Really?" After hearing this, Tang Jie raised his head happily.

"Of course, I, the deputy dean of the academy, can I still lie to you?" Xie Fengtang chuckled and said, "Tell me, what do you want?"

"Then...can I use the elixir to practice?" Tang Jie said quickly. ~IndoMTL.com~ No problem. Xie Fengtang nodded directly: "I will write a handwritten letter for you right now. You can go to Wufang Pavilion and get ten bottles of low-grade elixir according to your needs. In addition, I will give you another thousand spiritual coins to calm the shock. Look. How's that? ”

"Okay, okay! Thank you, Master!" Probably shocked by this sudden benefit, Tang Jie's whole body trembled with excitement, and he bowed to the end.

Ten bottles of inferior elixir? A thousand spiritual coins?

Xin Yue and Si Yue'er looked at each other in shock. When did Xie Fengtang become so generous?

After Tang Jie was comforted here, Xie Fengtang turned around and went out.

Just as he walked out, Tang Jie shouted: "Master, do you think those thieves will come back again?"

Xie Fengtang listened to the footsteps, thought for a while, turned around and smiled at Tang Jie: "There is a possibility that those thieves didn't know what they saw in you, and they suddenly came to you. Since they can do it the first time, they can do it the second time. times. But you don’t have to worry..."

As he spoke, he turned to Xin Yue and Si Yue'er and said, "Go and call Zhao Xiliang and ask him to set up a formation here and defend this place."

"Set up the formation?" Xin Yue and Si Yue'er's eyes nearly popped out.

"Yes, set up the formation!" Xie Fengtang said sternly: "Since our students have been frightened and were broken into, they must be well protected. This thief has ulterior motives and is very likely to come again in the future. We Naturally, we have to take precautions. If you have something to do in the future, you should also pay attention to this to avoid what happened today again. I, Xiyue Academy, are people-oriented and convince people with virtue. If not, how can we make the world's sects return to their hearts? Just like this."

After saying that, he disappeared in a flash.

Si Yue'er couldn't believe it. She looked back at Xin Yue and said, "Putting people first? Convincing people with virtue? Is this still Xie Laoji?"

Xin Yue shook his head with a heavy expression.
