The three of them wandered around the campus of Linjiang University for half an hour, and walked together to the "Songnian Assembly Hall" located in the center of the campus, preparing to attend the opening ceremony of new students at 10 o'clock in the morning.

"Songnian Hall" is named after the first president of Linjiang University, and was built in the later period of the "great changes in heaven and earth".

According to the tradition of Linda University for many years, the "Freshman Opening Ceremony" will be held here every year.

On the one hand, it is because the hall is large enough, more than 10,000 square meters, which can accommodate thousands of teachers and students to gather here at the same time, and on the other hand, it is also to commemorate Ren Songnian, the first president who devoted his life to the construction of Linda.

When Chen Yuan and the three arrived at the square outside the Great Hall, the time was just after half past nine.

As soon as I stopped, I was deeply shocked by the quaint atmosphere around me.

I saw that in the middle of the vast square, there was a high platform covering an extremely wide area.

On top of the platform, there is a magnificent dome building.

On the four walls of the building, there are countless exquisite reliefs, and most of the characters in the reliefs are wearing ancient Chinese costumes, or with bare hands, or holding weapons, with vivid expressions and vivid shapes.

On the high dome, a crafted giant sword tens of meters long is suspended vertically in mid-air under the control of the psionic instrument, and the sun shines on the sword body, reflecting ten thousand golden rays, which makes people feel solemn and awe in their hearts at a glance.

At the front of the building is a large semicircular arch with a long stone staircase of 81 layers connecting the terrace with the outer square.

At this time, there were less than ten minutes before the "Freshman Opening Ceremony", and as far as the eye could see, there were freshmen from various colleges of Linda gathered everywhere.

Some of them are in groups, they are excitedly imagining the upcoming college time, some are standing in front of the relief, admiring the glory of ancient Chinese martial arts, and some have long been unable to hold back, or gather in front of the arch, or sit around the stairs, just waiting for the arch to open, immediately to catch up with the front, occupy a "feng shui treasure land".

The three of them waited in the outer square for a while, and the arch finally opened slowly.

The freshmen who had been waiting near the arch immediately rushed in.

Immediately afterwards, the scattered flow of people in the outer square slowly surged towards the arch like a hundred rivers returning to the sea.

Chen Yuan and the three of them walked forward with the flow of people, and after a while, they came to the front of the stairs.

They stepped up the stairs, step by step, and soon came to the arch, and walked in.

As soon as he stepped into the palace gate, Chen Yuan was deeply shocked again, "This is the 'Songnian Great Hall', it's too domineering." ”

"It is really unique, and it deserves to be the 'holy land' of ancient Chinese martial arts. Feng Xiaoliu praised it.

"Changing to 'ancient martial arts' is definitely the most correct choice I have ever made in my life. Liu Xu also cheered loudly.

Directly ahead, more than 15,000 square meters of ground are all paved with blue and white jade.

Soft sunlight shone in through dozens of large round windows on both sides of the synagogue, reflecting the smooth floor.

In the depths of the hall stood an incomparably tall stone platform, and dozens of ancient weapons of different shapes were suspended behind it.

In front of the stone platform were several rows of tables and chairs made of mahogany, on which thirty or forty people sat on the chairs.

Chen Yuan swept around the stage, but did not find Gu Lao's figure, his brows furrowed slightly, and he secretly wondered: "Didn't Gu Lao make an appointment with me before, the opening ceremony is about to start, why hasn't he appeared yet?"

Not yet

came up with a reason, and suddenly heard a roar from the stone platform.

An elderly man slowly got up from the middle of the first row.

He was thin, with snow-white silver hair scattered behind him, three locks of long beard fluttering on his chin, and an air of fairy wind and bones in his gestures.

He was wearing a moon-white quaint robe, the wide sleeves of the robe hung in the air and swayed slightly, he raised his cloudy eyes and glanced down, and said in a loud voice: "Freshmen, everyone be quiet, the 'Freshman Opening Ceremony' will start immediately, please find the phalanx where your respective colleges are located, and wait patiently." ”

The old man's voice was not loud, and the speed of his speech was extremely slow, but every word contained a strong spiritual power, which shook the lattice of the dome and the window lattice.

As soon as he finished speaking, the sleeves of his robe waved vigorously, and suddenly, a giant holographic image of the "emblems" of each college appeared above the auditorium.

More than 3,000 freshmen in the hall immediately took action and gathered towards the emblems of their respective colleges.

The "emblem" of the Ancient Martial Arts Academy is a bronze sword with a simple shape, which hangs high in the center of the auditorium.

Chen Yuan and the others saw it from afar, and immediately rushed forward with the flow of people.

After a while, all the new students from each college were diverted, and they waited patiently for the unveiling of the "opening ceremony".

As the largest college of Linjiang University, the number of new students in Guwu Academy exceeded half of the number of people present.

The huge phalanx composed of nearly 2,000 new students of the "Ancient Martial Arts Academy" occupies a large space in the middle of the auditorium, and at a glance, it is spectacular.

The old man looked at the youthful faces in the audience, cleared his throat, and said:

"Freshmen from all over China, hello everyone, Lao Yu is Gu Jiancang, the ninth president of Linjiang University, and it is an honor to be able to preside over the 2615 'Freshman Opening Ceremony' for you in this auditorium, which carries countless glorious histories of Linjiang University. ”

Hearing the old man introduce himself, the freshmen phalanx in the audience immediately burst into an incomparably warm applause.

"The ancient warrior of the Chinese legend, the ancient sword...... Mom, I've finally met a real person. ”

"The inheritor of the Taiji Sword Lineage, one of the ancient martial artists standing at the pinnacle of the South China Region, a master of the ancient martial arts 'Dahua Realm', and a top C-level martial artist......"

"Principal Gu is nearly 100 years old, and it is really admirable that he is still contributing to the cause of education in China at such an advanced age. ”

The applause continued for a while before it subsided.

Gu Jiancang smiled slightly, and said slowly: "Among you, there are those who practice 'ancient martial arts', those who practice 'new martial arts', and those who have been admitted to the 'liberal arts' major. For this purpose, we gathered at Linjiang University to work hand in hand and explore up and down. ”

When he said this, his voice paused slightly, and he continued: "In fact, whether it is 'liberal arts', 'martial arts', 'new martial arts' or 'ancient martial arts', as long as you concentrate on cultivation and work tirelessly, you can achieve yourself. There is no distinction between superior and inferior majors, and there is no difference between high and low martial arts. I hope that in the next four years, you can concentrate on devoting yourself, learn from each other, absorb the nutrients you need to grow in Linda, and make greater progress and breakthroughs in your majors, so as to lay a solid foundation for your future society. ”

Gu Jiancang's words in this paragraph were earnest, and he penetrated into it.

As soon as the words fell, the new students in the auditorium were even hotter

Fierce applause.

In particular, the students of the Ancient Martial Arts Academy applauded desperately and were excited.

Chen Yuan stood in the queue of the "Ancient Martial Arts Academy", and after listening to President Gu's speech, he was also very emotional.

In today's world, the ancient martial arts are declining, and the new martial arts are prevalent.

In order to cope with the increasingly severe defense situation, governments around the world have invested the vast majority of their resources in the development of new martial arts.

Therefore, in society, especially in the martial arts world, it is inevitable that there will be a trend of thought of "new martial arts are noble, and ancient martial arts are inferior".

Some new warriors regard themselves as the "mainstream of martial arts" and look down on the "old-fashioned" ancient warriors.

It is believed that under the general trend of the times, the implementation of "ancient martial arts" is completely perverse and a waste of resources.

In their opinion, compared with the "ancient martial arts" with incomplete exercises and on the verge of decline, the new martial arts system is more mature and much easier to cultivate.

As long as sufficient resources and funds are invested, it is possible to "mass-produce" a "new warrior" with strong combat effectiveness.

If a cultivator awakens a superior "bloodline talent", even if it is an S-level martial artist, it is not difficult to "create" it.

On the other hand, the ancient martial arts, which originated in China, are much more complicated to cultivate.

In order to stabilize the "foundation" through daily cultivation, step by step to ease the muscles and bones, through the meridians and activate the meridians, through the eight veins, and through the acupoints, it is also necessary to invest a lot of time in cultivating the "Gongfa moves", which not only takes a long time, but also makes it much more difficult to break through the realm, and in terms of cultivation efficiency and "output" of martial artists, it is far inferior to the "rising star" new martial arts.

Therefore, at present, in society, those who practice new martial arts generally look down on those who practice ancient martial arts, and those who practice ancient martial arts look down on those who study liberal arts, and a subtle chain of contempt has formed between the three, which is particularly obvious in the education circles.

Gu Jiancang's brief speech first clarified one point, that is, "there is no high or low professional, and there is no nobility in martial arts".

From the standpoint of the university, the mentality of the students of each college is balanced.

Let everyone re-examine their own positioning, do not attack each other because of different majors, but should focus more energy and attention on the profession they have learned and are good at.

This not only reflects Gu Jiancang's personal mind, but also reflects the mind of this ancient university, which made the more than 3,000 students present feel a lot of spirits and feelings.

Gu Jiancang looked at the audience and waved his hand lightly to stop the applause.

Then, he began to introduce the heads of each college sitting next to him one by one, and each time he introduced, there would be a thunderous applause in the auditorium.

For the students present, these heavyweights in the martial arts world in front of them can only be seen on the news on weekdays, but now seeing so many at once really makes everyone's hearts excited.

Chen Yuan held his breath and listened patiently.

After a while, it was finally the turn of the "Ancient Martial Arts Academy".

I only heard Gu Jiancang cough twice, facing the phalanx of the Ancient Martial Arts Academy, and said slowly: "Since Lu Fengwu, the dean of the Ancient Martial Arts Academy, cannot come because he has important matters, and the vice president Gu Shouyang is also injured, the recent presiding over the work of the Ancient Martial Arts Academy will be temporarily represented by the director of the academy 'Fu Changming'. ”

Hearing Gu Jiancang's words, a sigh of embarrassment could not help but sound in the queue of the Ancient Martial Arts Academy.

After all, many students will choose to enroll in the "Ancient Martial Arts Academy", which is to rush to the names of the two deans of Lu and Gu.

Knowing that both of them were absent for some reason, it was inevitable that I felt a little lost.

In contrast, Chen Yuan was even more shocked in his heart, and said in amazement: "What's the matter, Old Gu ...... Hurt?"
