Chapter 301: Staying at the Inn
Although the town is called a town, it is actually much larger than an ordinary town, and can even be compared to some cities.
The main reason for this is its geographical location, it is the only gateway to the Shengyuan Academy, and the younger generation of monks on the mainland are proud to enter the academy.
The Shengyuan Academy, including Genzhen, belongs to the vacuum of the Shengyuan Empire, which is not under the management of the Empire, and is also independent of the seven empires on the mainland.
The academy is famous among the Seven Empires of the Continent, and has trained many strong monks for various countries, and its position in each empire can be imagined.
Qing Ming walked into a restaurant in the town at will, and the people in the restaurant came and went, and Qing Ming swept over at a glance, basically all of them were monks.
He randomly found a quiet corner to sit down, ordered a pot of wine, and waited quietly for Song Xuan.
I don't know where Song Xuan will put Xiao Jiu'er, Qing Ming thought to himself, his eyes turned into the night. The town is brightly lit, and the liveliness is not reduced at all compared to the daytime.
Not far away, on the gate of the city tower, figures with weapons in their hands jumped at the head of the city, their backs hidden in the darkness, like many wolves hidden in the darkness, as soon as they found their prey, they would immediately attack.
That's the enforcers, the most powerful organization on the continent.
Qing Ming retracted his gaze and drank all the wine in the cup, which was sweet and spicy, stimulating his taste buds, and a feeling of comfort swept through his body.
It's been a long time since he's had drunk a glass of wine so calmly, so he picked up his glass and drank another one.
"Can I sit here?" At this moment, a deep voice came from the side into Qing Ming's ears.
Qing Ming put down the cup, raised his eyes, and saw that a person had sat down in front of him.
The man was covered in black linen, and his face could not be seen clearly, and his face was hidden in the darkness of his hat, apparently because he did not want others to see his face.
"Whatever!" Qing Ming put down these two words without paying attention, and began to drink again.
"Wine is good wine, how nice it would be if you could drink it like this forever!" The man didn't care about Qingming, picked up a cup in front of him, poured it full of wine, and tasted it carefully.
"There are many troubles in the world, and a drunk solution will be a thousand years!" Qing Ming seemed to respond to the person opposite.
"Hmph, what a drunken solution, I think annoyance is as lovely as hatred, just like this glass of wine in my hand, the longer it is brewed, the more delicious and mellow it becomes, and so is hatred......!" the man chuckled in a low voice.
Qing Ming frowned, this person exuded a kind of anger all over his body, which was indescribably tiresome.
"Only hatred is the motivation to live!" the man said in a low voice, and suddenly a dull sound came from his hand, and the cup was crushed by him.
Qing Ming couldn't help but clench the saber at his waist with one hand.
"Qing Ming, you are really here!"
At this time, Song Xuan's voice came from the door of the hotel, and Song Xuan was waving to him.
"Boom...... We'll see you again, and by then, you'll be absolutely like this cup in my hand...... Turn into powder!" the man got up, glanced at Qing Ming, and then jumped out of the window, and disappeared into the darkness.
Qing Ming raised his eyebrows, it seemed that the person did know himself, and when he appeared in front of him this time, he was afraid that he would come to him for revenge, and Song Xuan's appearance was afraid that his plan would be disrupted.
But Qing Ming didn't care too much, over the years, did he still have fewer enemies?
He rubbed his temples and threw away all distractions, his most important task at the moment was to enter the Shengyuan School to find the whereabouts of the Death Demon Sutra.
"Let's go, if you don't leave, you'll be late!" Song Xuan pulled Qing Ming and ran straight out of the street without saying a word, due to too much panic, he knocked over several people one after another, and the sound of scolding came from around him instantly.
Song Xuan apologized while pulling Qing Ming to run wildly.
"What's going on!" asked Qing Ming with a puzzled expression.
"I'll tell you when I arrive!" Song Xuan said breathlessly before he had time to explain to Qing Ming.
In this way, two teenagers appeared on the long street, squeezing through the crowd and running wildly in the middle of the road.
In a short time, the two of them came to the street of Long Street, where various lanterns were lit on the maze tree, and the whole giant tree was shrouded in a bright light, like a sacred tree that lingered in the sky.
The people in front of the torii gate were packing up their things, presumably the academy was in charge of teaching the registered candidates.
The two of them stood in front of the torii hunched and panting.
"To... It's here!" Song Xuan turned his head to Qing Ming and said, Qing Ming raised his head and didn't understand why Song Xuan would bring him to this place, shouldn't they go to Shengyuan Academy?
But before he could speak, the people in front of the torii gate came to the two of them, and one of them came over.
"This is the holy place of the academy, please leave!" the man said in a very arrogant tone, looking at the outfit and face, he must also be a senior student of the academy.
"We are also students of the academy!" Song Xuan took out his academic order and handed it over, "My teaching is a fat ...... Stocky old man!"
Song Xuan originally wanted to talk about the fat old man, but as soon as the words came out, he felt that he couldn't call that teacher like this when they met for the first time, so he changed his words.
The man confirmed Song Xuan's identity, and listened to him talk about the physical characteristics of Jiaoxi, and the figure of Bei Xiaoya appeared in his mind.
"Song Xuan!" The man was stunned for a moment when he saw the name that appeared on the school order, and he glanced up and down at Song Xuan, and then there was a hint of playfulness on his face.
Song Xuan was puzzled by the strange expression on that person's face.
"Who is this?" the man looked at Qing Ming.
"Oh, he forgot to bring his school order. Song Xuan hurriedly explained.
It was impossible for him to expose the ink-colored warrant on Qing Ming's body that only the dean possessed, and even if he showed it to the person in front of him, he might not know about it, and maybe he would mistakenly think that they had forged the academy's token.
"Is that so?what's your name??," the man said, turning his head to look at Qing Ming.
This time it was Qing Ming and Song Xuan's turn to be dumbfounded, and after a moment of silence, Qing Ming suddenly said calmly: "Second year of swordsmanship, Qing Ming!"
Song Xuan suddenly realized, it turned out that his school order also had his own information on it, "Second grade of kendo, Song Xuan!" Qing Ming had seen it once before, and at this time, he said it according to the gourd painting scoop.
The two of them were nervous in their hearts, not knowing if they could fool in with these words.
"Well, it turns out that they are all students of the North Sect, okay, you can go in, but it is too dangerous to go to the academy at night, so you will go to Shiyi to rest for the night tonight, and then enter the academy tomorrow morning." “
After speaking, he asked someone to take Song Xuan and the two of them to step on the bluestone slab and go up the mountain.
Walking past a hill, the view widens, and the lights in the distance are connected together, like a glowing bond floating on the shore of the lake.
"It's the time post ahead, and because of the monsters in the lake at night, we usually don't enter the academy at night!" said the man who led the way.
Qing Ming and Song Xuan didn't dare to ask where the academy was, they just said that they were students of Shengyuan Academy, and asking too much would reveal their identities, so the two of them simply responded in silence.
