Cardcaptor at Hogwarts

"That's a disciple of Zen Master Wu Se of Xilin Temple. His name is empty."

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

"Because he studied abroad, he was not ordained even though he had already started."

"Well..."

Lushan Xilin Temple...

There are Donglin Temple and Xilin Temple on Lushan Mountain. Among Buddhists, Donglin Temple is more famous because it is the ancestral home of the Pure Land Sect. However, for ordinary people, Xilin Temple should be more famous because there is a "" that must be recited here. "Inscribed on Xilinbi".

"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 in a daze for a moment.

Yun Jinshu was a little surprised after hearing this:

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

It is very rare for foreigners in this era to be able to speak fluent Chinese, let alone recite poetry... and the poems they recite are not among the 300 Tang poems!

Adam shook his head and did not explain anything, but became somewhat interested in this Kong.

As a practitioner, since I have chosen to join the sect, but I am also studying abroad, I know that what the other person is studying abroad is definitely not Western magic. Doesn’t Master Wu Se have any objection?

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

Adam took a sip of peanut soup and turned to ask Yun Jinshu:

"Since he has chosen to worship at Xilin Temple, why does Master Liao Kong want to study abroad?"

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

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

"I'll ask later."

"No need, I just asked casually when I saw it."

Adam didn't want to make matters worse, and the main thing was to start watching the championship tomorrow.

The two of them stepped through the gate one after another. It was also at this time that Kong Kong, who was surrounded by many Buddhist disciples, glanced over.

"Huh? That's..."

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

While responding to questions from people around him, Ling Kong recalled something. He seemed to have seen the other party in the British Daily Prophet, but the specific report... what was it?

On the other side, Adam didn't know that Sora would actually have an impression on him. After returning to the room, he finished the food he had packed, and took out the parchment for the group chat among the five and chatted with everyone for a while, then hugged the pair The anticipation of the tournament the day after tomorrow fell into dreamland.

Early the next morning, Yun Jinshu came to him with detailed information about Kong.

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

Naturally, Shushan also has a team coming to compete, and the person leading the team is Yun Jinshu's uncle, who happens to know something about Kong Kong.

"……Thanks."

Unexpectedly, Yun Jinshu went to investigate anyway. It would be a waste if he didn't listen to the information he had already obtained. Adam could only express his gratitude.

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

"oh?"

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

"The school he studied in is in the UK. It's Oxford University in the UK. I heard that the UK is not big. Maybe you have met him on the street."

"...Maybe."

Compared to China, Britain is indeed not that big, but it is not that small. Moreover, Adam recalled the scope of his activities. The probability that they would intersect was really low, unless the school where Sora studied abroad was Hogwarts.

"Speaking of which, which school did he study in?"

As a Buddhist disciple who is also a practitioner, what will he study abroad?

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

However, Yun Jinshu’s ability to inquire for information obviously did not disappoint Adam:

"Oxford University, majoring in economics and management."

"...economic management?"

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

Before, he was more guessing about majors such as biomedicine, which were somehow related to spiritual practice. He even guessed about law and mathematics... What the hell is economic management?

"I don't know the specifics, but I heard that this major is about making money, and Liao Kong is really good at making money. The Xilin Temple, which was originally in disrepair, has been renovated, and there are more pilgrims than the Donglin Temple next door. Much more."

Yun Jinshu sighed as he spoke:

"Taoist temples still have disadvantages compared to Buddhist temples in terms of making money. Now the gap is even bigger. Go back and talk to the master, or else send your junior brother there to further study how to make money."

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

Not to mention that economics and management are not completely equal to how to make money. Oxford University is not that easy to pass.

The disciple who came to Shushan... I hope he is okay.

But I have to say that such a piece of information really made Adam's interest in Sora subside a lot.

Could it be that Zen Master Wu Se took Kong 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, I really can't tell which one is more popular.

The matter of Kong was quickly put aside by Adam. Even if he was interested, it was only a temporary interest. Relatively speaking, he still preferred to watch the practitioners fight.

Especially the Chinese practitioners, Adam has been looking forward to it for a long time.

"The schedule of the championship is relatively long. The first few days are five-to-one knockout matches, and then there will be one-on-one arena matches."

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

"This is the roster for the first round. I asked them to print an extra one."

This booklet is two centimeters thick. When you pull it open, it almost looks like a map of mountains and rivers. It is enough to see how many sects there are.

but……

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

Adam took a cursory glance:

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

"The allocation is said to be based on drawing lots, 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:

"We didn't meet each other in the last term until we were fourth and second. However, the specific arrangements will not be made public. If you have any objections, 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 of the previous session, which do not have to participate in the first round, the remaining players will have to compete in a total of 74 games if they advance to one or two. How long will it take to fight slowly?"

Yun Yan took over the conversation:

"Most of the martial arts that come to participate are indeed at the level of one round. After being eliminated in the first round, they can just relax and be spectators without having to be tense all the time."

Ah, this... although it's a bit cruel, it's so real.
