Hogwarts Crawler

"That's the disciple of Master Wu Se of Xilin Temple, and his Dharma name is Liao Kong."

Yun Jinshu saw Adam stop and look over there, and explained to Adam:

"Because he studied abroad, he has not been ordained even though he has entered the sect."

"Hmm..."

Xilin Temple on Mount Lu...

There are Donglin Temple and Xilin Temple on Mount Lu. Donglin Temple is more famous in Buddhism because it is the ancestral temple of the Pure Land Sect, but for ordinary people, Xilin Temple should be more famous because there is a poem "On the Wall of Xilin" that must be recited.

"I don't know the true face of Mount Lu, just because I am in this mountain."

Adam was suddenly attacked by the memory of the dead, and was a little dazed for a while.

Yun Jinshu was a little surprised after hearing it:

"Adam, you are really... knowledgeable and talented."

It is very rare for foreigners in this era to speak fluent Chinese, not to mention that they can recite poems... and they are not the poems in the Three Hundred Tang Poems!

Adam shook his head without explaining anything, but became interested in Liao Kong.

As a practitioner, since he has chosen to join the sect, but is also on the road to study abroad, it is obvious that the other party will definitely not study Western magic abroad. Does Master Wu Se have no objection?

Judging from the attitudes of those Buddhist disciples, it seems that not only do they have no objections, but the other party's status in the eyes of Buddhist disciples is quite high?

Adam drank a mouthful of peanut soup, turned his head and asked Yun Jinshu:

"Since you have chosen to join the Xilin Temple, why does this Master Liao Kong want to study abroad?"

"Well, I'm not very clear about this."

Yun Jinshu didn't know everything, at least he didn't know the answer to this question:

"I'll go ask later."

"No need, I just asked casually."

Adam didn't want to make things complicated. The main thing is to start watching the championship tomorrow.

The two of them crossed the gate one after the other. At this time, Liao Kong, who was surrounded by many Buddhist disciples, glanced over.

"Huh? That is..."

Liao Kong blinked. Is that figure a foreigner? Why does he look a little familiar?

While answering questions from people around him, Lekong recalled that he seemed to have seen him in the British Daily Prophet, but what was the specific report?

On the other hand, Adam didn't know that Lekong would have an impression of him. After returning to the room, he finished the packed food, took out the parchment for the five-person group chat and chatted with everyone for a while, and then fell asleep with the expectation of the championship the day after tomorrow.

The next morning, Yun Jinshu came to him with detailed information about Lekong.

"Don't worry, I asked my uncle for information. I didn't bother anyone else, and I didn't let Lekong know."

Shushan naturally had a team participating in the competition. The leader of the team was Yun Jinshu's uncle, who happened to know something about Lekong.

"...Thank you."

Unexpectedly, Yun Jinshu actually went to check it out. It would be a waste not to listen to the information he had already obtained. Adam could only express his gratitude.

"Speaking of this Lekong, it has something to do with you."

"Oh?"

Adam showed his doubts at the right time, and Yun Jinshu explained:

"The school he studied in is in the UK, Oxford University in the UK. I heard that the UK is not big, maybe you have met on the street."

"... Maybe."

Compared to China, the UK is indeed not big, but not that small, and Adam recalled his range of activities. The probability of their intersection is really small, unless Lekong's school is Hogwarts.

"Speaking of which school is he studying in?"

A Buddhist disciple, and a person who is still practicing, what would he study abroad?

However, Adam had to consider the possibility that Yun Jinshu might not have inquired so carefully.

However, Yun Jinshu's ability to inquire about information obviously did not disappoint Adam:

"It's Oxford University, studying economics and management."

"...Economics and management?"

Adam admitted that this major was indeed something he had not thought of before.

He had previously been speculating on majors such as biomedicine, which were at least related to cultivation. He had even guessed law and mathematics... What the hell was economic management?

"I'm not very clear about the details, but I heard that this major is about making money, and Liaokong is indeed very good at making money. The Xilin Temple, which had been in disrepair for a long time, has now been renovated, and there are many more pilgrims than the Donglin Temple next door."

Yun Jinshu sighed as he spoke:

"Taoist temples are still at a disadvantage compared to Buddhist temples in terms of making money. Now the gap is even greater. Go back and talk to Master, or send Junior Brother there to study how to make money."

Listening to Yun Jinshu's words, Adam's eyes twitched.

Not to mentionEconomics and management can't be equated with how to make money. It's not easy to get into Oxford University.

I hope that disciple who joined Shushan is okay.

But it must be said that this piece of information really increased Adam's interest in Lekong, which had been fading.

Could it be that Master Wu Se accepted Lekong as his disciple because he had a talent for making money?

This... is not completely impossible. Between the talent for making money and the talent for cultivation, it is really hard to say which one is more popular.

Adam quickly put Lekong's matter aside. Even if he was interested, it was only a temporary interest. Relatively speaking, he still liked to watch cultivators fight more.

Especially the cultivators from China, Adam had been looking forward to it for a long time.

"The tournament schedule is quite long. The first few days are all five-to-one elimination matches, and then there will be one-on-one ring matches."

Yun Jinshu came over with a folding booklet and spread it on the table:

"This is the list of players in the first round. I asked them to print an extra copy."

This booklet is two centimeters thick. When it is opened, it is almost as thick as the Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains. It is enough to see how many sects have come.

But...

"The first round is directly a five-player elimination match, and the loser will be eliminated in the first round? The rules of this tournament are very cruel."

Adam took a quick look:

"And how are they assigned? If I happen to be assigned to four strong enemies, wouldn't I go directly to the semi-finals in the first round?"

"It is said that the assignment is a draw, but it should not be completely random. Those strong players will be separated in each session, and different players from the same sect will also be separated."

Yun Jinshu looked at Yun Yan and replied:

"In the last session, the two of us didn't meet until the four-to-two, but The specific arrangement will not be made public. If you have any opinions, you can go to the office leader. "

"As for the schedule... there is nothing we can do about it. Except for the top ten sects in the previous session, which do not have to participate in the first round, the remaining players will have to compete in 74 rounds of five-to-one. If they play two-to-one round after round, how long will it take to finish?"

Yun Yanhui took over the conversation:

"Most of the sects participating in the competition are indeed at the level of one round. After being eliminated in the first round, they can just relax and be spectators without being tense all the time."

Ah, this... although it is a bit cruel, it is so real.
