Chapter Twenty-Four: Luming Academy

After dawn, Liang Chen never waited for the movement of the garrison mansion.

My sister had gotten up as usual and made breakfast.

Zhao Lei and Yu Dapeng arranged the carriage early, moved all the large and small luggage, and then left the city one step ahead of schedule.

This time to go to Luming Academy, the mountains are high and the rivers are far away, although they are all in Cangzhou, but it takes three or four days to walk.

As a cultivator, Liang Chen was far faster than ordinary people even if he didn't use the howling wind to guide him, and he also took his sister Liang Yuling with him.

So Liang Chen simply let Zhao Lei and them go first.

In this way, he and his sister can travel light.

I only brought some dry food, water, silver tickets, and my father's tablet.

By the way, there are also exercise cheats such as "Li's Flying Knife", "Dark Night Shura", "Fuhu Fist" and other exercises, which also have to be hidden closely.

As for the sack of spirit stones that Liang Chen stole from the garrison mansion last night, he had already buried them under an old tree on the outskirts of the city.

Originally, Liang Chen thought that when it was dawn, the garrison would inevitably find an abnormality, and the whole city would be suspicious.

The city gates will also be more heavily fortified.

Especially for someone like him who has an old grudge against the Wang family, if Wang Shuo goes crazy and has to search Liang Chen on the spot, it will be difficult for him to hide so many spirit stones.

Therefore, waiting out of the city and finding an opportunity to retrieve the spirit stone is the only feasible way.

But Liang Chen never expected that it had come to this point, and there was no reaction from the garrison mansion at all.

The carriage of Zhao Lei and others also left the city very easily without any interrogation.

Something wasn't quite right.

But before Liang Chen could make more inquiries, the long-haired old man in gray had already appeared at his door on time.

Seeing this, Liang Chen hurriedly pulled his sister and saluted: "Meet the seniors." ”

Compared with the last time they met, the gray-clothed old man's eyes were a little puffy today, and there were two unnatural flushes on his face, and the smell of alcohol on his body was sky-high, looking like a hangover all night.

Seeing Liang Chen, the gray-clothed old man couldn't help but secretly burp, then waved his hand and said: "Since you have entered my Luming Academy, you don't need to call me senior in the future, my name is Zhang Xingzhi, you can call me the third elder." ”

Liang Chen looked at the other party's drunken eyes, and felt a little slander in his heart, but his face still looked extremely respectful.

"Yes, Third Elder. ”

"Hmm. Zhang Xingzhi nodded, and then walked towards Liang Chen's house, saying as he walked: "Is there water at home?" ”

Hearing this, Liang Yuling hurriedly went to the kitchen and fetched two bowls of water for Zhang Xingzhi.

"The three elders should sit down for a while, or ...... Shall I go and order a bowl of noodles for the elders?"

Zhang Xingzhi raised his heavy eyelids, glanced at Liang Yuling, nodded and said, "It's okay." ”

After Liang Yuling left, Zhang Xingzhi poured two large bowls of cold water into his stomach, and then smacked his lips with satisfaction: "This little girl is sensible, who are you?"

Liang Chen said respectfully: "It's my sister." ”

"Hmm......" Zhang Xingzhi seemed to want to say something, but there was a commotion outside the door.

Liang Chen turned his head to look and found that it was Mr. Huang Mingde from the Caohui Library, and Mr. Wu, the shopkeeper of Dongsheng Restaurant, and others came to see him off.

Liang Chen welcomed everyone into the door.

When he saw the old immortal master of Luming Academy sitting in the room, the big guys greeted and saluted in a hurry.

Not to mention entering the house to sit down, Huang Mingde and the others didn't even dare to stay for a long time, just said a few words of encouragement to Liang Chen, and left in a hurry.

However, from Huang Mingde, Liang Chen learned an unexpected news.

It turned out that as early as yesterday afternoon, Wang Shuo left Yinma Town and took Wang Linfeng, who had become a waste, to the state capital.

It's no wonder that Liang Chen failed to block this lord in the garrison mansion last night.

And today there is no change in the yamen.

I thought that Feng Shun's death should have been discovered, but because Wang Shuo was not there, those errands did not dare to make their own decisions, so there was peace and quiet in Yinma Town today.

After thinking about this section, Liang Chen also felt quite emotional.

He didn't know if this was Wang Shuo's luck or his own luck.

After sending Huang Mingde and the others away, Liang Yuling's noodles were also cooked and respectfully served in front of Zhang Xingzhi.

However, because the sister and brother had planned to leave Yinma Town today, there was naturally nothing left at home, so Liang Yuling cooked a bowl of somen noodles for Zhang Xingzhi.

I didn't see half of the green onions.

In this regard, Zhang Xingzhi is not picky, and he ate the noodles cleanly after dividing five by two, and did not even leave a mouthful of noodle soup.

Putting down the bowl, Zhang Xingzhi burped again, but this time the wine was much lighter.

"Good workmanship. ”

Hearing this, Liang Yuling immediately lowered her head in fear and said, "The third elder is polite. ”

Zhang Xingzhi patted his stomach comfortably, then took out a piece of straw paper with the appearance of a ghost drawing talisman from his cuff and handed it to Liang Yuling.

"I won't eat you for nothing, so I'll take this to offset the money. ”

Liang Yuling said "don't dare", but she couldn't resist Zhang Xingzhi, so she could only put away the straw paper.

Then, Zhang Xingzhi looked at Liang Yuling and sighed faintly: "It's a pity, it's a pity......"

Liang Chen thought that this third elder, like everyone else, was regretting the scar on his sister's face, and took the opportunity to ask, "I wonder if there is an elixir in our academy that can maintain beauty and skin?"

Zhang Xingzhi shook his head: "I don't know about this, when you enter the mountain gate, you can go and ask the senior brother of the Immortal Academy yourself." ”

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Xingzhi patted his ass and stood up, and said to Liang Chen: "Okay, sit down, eat noodles, it's time to go." ”

Liang Chen nodded again and again, took a green cloth burden from his sister's hand and carried it on his back, and before he could ask Zhang Xingzhi if he needed to hire a carriage, he saw a light flash of fire in Zhang Xingzhi's hand.

As a piece of ash fell to the ground, the sky above Liang Chen's head suddenly darkened.

It's not that the sun goes down all of a sudden.

Instead, there was a flying bird five feet long and brightly plumage.

The bird has a dark blue color, and the feathers on its wings are dotted with some red and yellow eye-like markings, and the tail feathers are extremely long and swaying in the wind.

Liang Chen's mouth grew as if he had entered the city, and said again and again: "This is ...... Spirit beasts?"

Zhang Xingzhi smiled and nodded, then stretched out his hand and patted the bird's flank, and responded: "This is Qingluan, the mountain guard of the academy, this time you are lucky, come up." ”

As he spoke, Zhang Xingyi jumped up and sat firmly on Qingluan's thick feather back.

And Liang Chen also painted the scoop according to the gourd, and took his sister to Luan.

"Sit tight. ”

Zhang Xingzhi commanded, and then let out a sharp roar in his mouth.

So Qingluan spread his wings and took off, but in the blink of an eye, the entire Drinking Horse Town became a small black dot under the feet of the three of them.

Seeing this, Liang Chen couldn't help but have a headache.

The spirit stone he had hidden on the outskirts of the city hadn't had time to dig it up......

However, at this time, he was not embarrassed to ask Lord Qingluan to step on the brakes halfway, so he could only secretly muttered to himself and let Zhao Lei and them pick it up.

This was the first time Liang Chen had ridden a spirit beast to soar in the air.

Obviously, this thing is completely different from the feeling of being on a plane.

Because you can feel the wind.

However, perhaps considering that Liang Yuling was just an ordinary person who had never entered the Tao, so she hadn't flown for a long time, when she saw Zhang Xingzhi's fingertips flash again, and around the three of them, there was something similar to a transparent mask.

Not only did it isolate the howling wind, but it also made the butts of the three of them less turbulent......

Liang Chen glanced back at his sister and found that although Liang Yuling didn't show much nervous expression on her face, her hands holding her back were full of cold sweat.

Liang Chen patted the back of his sister's hand, signaling her to feel at ease, and then said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I am not afraid of the jokes of the three elders, although the disciple has long been fascinated by the name of Luming Academy, but after all, Yinma Town is just a small town in a remote corner, and most of what my gentleman teaches on weekdays is the method of cultivation, but he rarely tells the history of the major sects, I wonder if the third elder can give the disciples a detailed introduction to the situation of our academy?"

Hearing this, Zhang Xingzhi couldn't help but yawn and said, "There's nothing to do along the way, so it's okay to talk to you......"

After a pause, Zhang Xingzhi said again: "How much do you know about the history of the Great Liang Dynasty?"

Liang Chen didn't understand why he was asking about Luming Academy, but Zhang Xingzhi suddenly mentioned the history of the Liang Dynasty.

Fortunately, Liang Chen has a little understanding of this part of the knowledge.

He slightly recalled a book called "General History of the Dynasty" that he had read in the Caohui Study, and then spoke: "I wonder which part of history the Third Elder is asking?"

"Let's talk about the shame of Jing'an. ”

Liang Chen nodded: "Five hundred years ago, Emperor Xianzong didn't think about the government, attracted eunuchs to take charge, monopolized the dictatorship, and made the people miserable for a while.

Zhang Zeshi, the head of Zaozhou regimental training, immediately gathered 200,000 troops within half a year, all the way north, like a bamboo, and attacked Jing'an City, the eunuch leader Wei Sixian fled with Emperor Xianzong and the crown prince Li Ren, and then Zhang Zeshi looted more than 2 million taels of silver in Jing'an City, and then burned it with a fire, which is the shame of Jing'an. ”

"And then?"

"Later, the grassland people took advantage of the civil strife in my Daliang to break the snow pass, and the king of the grassland took five thousand iron horsemen all the way south, captured and killed Zhang Zeshi, and Emperor Xianzong hanged himself in Tianchi, and died in Sheji.

The 17-year-old crown prince Li Ren inherited the unification, then punished the Duke of Wei, suppressed the army, and shot the king of the grassland with an arrow in the Yandang Mountains, officially sounding the clarion call to recover the rivers and mountains, and then twelve years later, completely drove the grassland people back to the bleak cold land in the north!"

Liang Chen's voice was few, but he undoubtedly told the darkest and brightest epic of the Liang Dynasty.

And Zhang Xingzhi, who was sitting at the head, seemed to be very satisfied with Liang Chen's answer, nodded and said, "Yes, from now on, there will be Tianchi, one of the six major factions." ”

"That Luming Academy......"

"That's for later. Zhang Xingzhi interrupted Liang Chen with his mouth open: "One of the most important reasons why Tianchi is known as the head of the six major factions is that it has existed for the longest time.

Therefore, the world is often the way, and the world is unified, and all of them are out of the heavenly pool.

But when it comes to the rise of the rest of the sects, it has to be traced back to four hundred years after Emperor Shengzong succeeded to the throne. ”

Liang Chen knew that the Emperor Shengzong in Zhang Xingzhi's mouth was the prince Li Ren who had helped the building, turned the tide and almost single-handedly saved the Great Liang Jiangshan.

He also knew that four hundred years after Emperor Shengzong succeeded to the throne, the Great Liang Dynasty suffered such a catastrophe and almost buried the national fortune again.

So Liang Chen subconsciously took four words.

"Demon invasion. ”
