The time of the experience has been determined, March 15, there are still four days until today, and the location is Tianmu Mountain in the east, which makes all the elders in charge of this experience incomprehensible.

Tianmu Mountain is located on the eastern border of the Tang State and the Song Kingdom, and has always been a battleground between the two countries, and now the two countries are at war, and the training site is placed in Tianmu Mountain, which undoubtedly raises the danger of this experience to another level, even if Jian Jiu follows, it cannot guarantee the safety of students.

No matter how strong Jian Jiu was, he couldn't take care of all the students at the same time, not to mention that if the two armies fought, even if they were strong cultivators, they couldn't guarantee that they would be able to retreat with their whole body.

Therefore, many elders have a lot of speculation in their hearts about this experience.

First, the decision of this experience was very sudden, such a large-scale experience had not been seen in Boundless Academy for nearly thirty years.

Second, this experience was decided after Jian Jiu returned from Yanjing, and the purpose of Jian Jiu's visit to Yanjing this time was to find out the news of the dean.

Therefore, many people feel that this experience is related to the long-disappeared dean.

All in all, the people in charge of the various places had speculation and concerns, but the students didn't think about it that much at all, and when they heard that they were going to go out for training, almost all of them participated.

Because there were too many people, they could only travel in batches, and the first to set off were Tianxia Fudi and Wuwu Xiaozhu, and the two teams, including the elders' teachings, totaled more than 700 people! Then there was the largest number of drunken and lying in the mountains, a team of nearly 500 people, and finally the Tingxue and Nanxi Sword Pavilion by the railing, which added up to about 500 people.

The Nanxi Sword Pavilion, where Mo Yan was located, was the smallest of all the teams, and all of them combined were less than a hundred.

Under the leadership of the elders of various places, everyone left the academy, passed through Tianshui City, and continued to walk eastward.

Now the spring is warm and the snow is gone, everywhere you enter, are full of yellow sand, the morning is fine, at noon, the scorching sun bakes, suddenly like being in a copper furnace.

It's only been half a day, and some students have complained about their suffering, but no students have complained, after all, many people have endured hardships before coming to the academy, even if some of the rich and noble young masters have gone through the layers of selection in the academy, and finally entered the academy, but the faces of many students have lost the passion they had when they came......

Su Mingrui walked beside Mo Yan and said bitterly: "It's okay now, if it is two more months, then the sun can really burn people, we came out once last year, and for a long time after that, many people were locked in the room and didn't even want to go out." ”

Mo Yan smiled and said, "Actually, it's okay here, the north is much more terrifying than here." ”

Su Mingrui nodded and said, "No way, this is Tang Guo." It is precisely because of this damn climate that although the Song State has been attacking all these years, in addition to plundering property and women, it has never occupied a city or a pond, and after fighting for so many years, the territory of the Tang State is getting wider and wider, but the materials are becoming more and more scarce. ”

Mo Yan nodded and didn't speak again.

He doesn't understand war, so he doesn't have any opinions, but he doesn't like this kind of perennial war.

At this time, a little girl ran over quickly, handed a pot of water to Mo Yan, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Mo is not in good health, I have been walking in the desert for a long time, and the water is lost quickly, this pot of water is given to Senior Brother Mo." ”

Mo Yan took the kettle and said with a smile, "Thank you, Senior Sister Qin." ”

Qin Qin smiled lightly, turned around and ran away.

Su Mingrui looked at Qin Qin's back, was stunned for a while, and frowned, "What is the relationship between Senior Brother Mo and Senior Sister Qin?"

Mo Yan put the kettle away and said, "It doesn't matter. ”

Su Mingrui shook his head, "Senior Sister Qin has been coming to the academy for many years, but she has never treated other students like Senior Brother Mo, except for Senior Uncle Zhang, Senior Sister Qin doesn't even talk to others. ”

Mo Yan looked at the little girl who ran back to the railing to listen to the snow, and said slowly: "That's it." ”

Su Mingrui originally thought that Mo Yan would explain something, but he didn't want to stop there, so he didn't dwell on this matter anymore, as if he remembered something, and sighed: "It's strange to say, Senior Sister Qin has been coming to the academy for many years, I remember that when I first met her, she was so old, but now I look at her, it doesn't seem to have changed at all." ”

The surrounding students also nodded and said, "It's not, people don't always grow long, but this cultivation is so fast that it's terrifying, and now in the entire academy, even some elders are not her opponents." ”

Li Biyun said with a smile: "That's because our Qin girl is so focused on cultivation that she forgets that she is going to grow up." ”

Everyone, including Mo Yan, was stunned, there was still such a statement?

Jian Jiu smiled and said, "Don't think that Elder Li is joking, once a person puts all his thoughts on one thing, other things can really be forgotten, even if it seems to be an inevitable growth." It's just that there are very few such people, but they don't exist, which is why some people don't look easy to get old. ”

For what Jian Jiu said, the students on the side of the Nanxi Sword Pavilion all thought so, and it was no wonder that the students of the entire academy may not know who the dean is, but they must know Jian Jiu, because Jian Jiu is a real kendo genius, a figure who is expected to carry the inheritance of the entire Northern Desert Kendo, and it is the goal of countless sword masters.

In other words, the dean-sama is too mysterious, too powerful, and too far from the goal of these students, and compared to the dean-sama, it is more realistic to become a person like Kenjiu.

Regarding Jian Jiu's statement, Mo Yan didn't believe it, but he felt that Qin Qin hadn't changed for so many years because he was focused on cultivation, because he always felt that Qin Qin had an aura that no one else had, but he couldn't say what it was.

Especially every time he meets Qin Qin, the slaughter on his back is always inexplicably restless, although it is not obvious, Mo Yan can feel it.

At this time, a cavalry rushed from the north, sweeping up countless yellow sands, so that the academy team could only stop.

After this cavalry approached, it slowed down, and a general stepped forward, hugged his fist at Li Biyun, who was leading in front, and then said, "It turned out to be Mr. Wuya Academy." ”

Li Biyun replied: "Li Biyun of Boundless Academy, I have seen the general. ”

The man hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't dare, I am a retired lieutenant, and when I heard that the war in the east was urgent, I called my brothers and went to help." ”

Li Biyun said with a smile: "The general cares about his family and the country, and he can go to the battlefield at this time, guard the border and the people, and be worthy of the word general." ”

The man waved his hand and laughed, "Mr. Li said that he laughed, but at this time, those of us who are soldiers should go up, and it is good to kill even one more Southern Barbarian." ”

Li Biyun smiled lightly, without words, perhaps because she didn't know what to say.

The general looked at the crowd and asked, "Are you going to the east?"

Li Biyun nodded and said, "Take these children out to experience and experience, otherwise if you stay in the academy for a long time, you will forget what the outside world is like." ”

The man nodded and said: "That's true, it's just that now the two countries are at war, and the east happens to be the main battlefield, so I can only wish you good luck." We'll have to report to the south first, so don't leave it at that. ”

Li Biyun saluted everyone, and all the students also saluted to see off the team that had been discharged from the army but was in armor.

Because of this trip, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back.

This encounter made every student's heart feel a little more heavy.

Su Mingrui suddenly asked, "Teacher, what is the meaning of war?"

Li Biyun was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "This question, you have to ask Hu Jiaoxi." ”

As he spoke, he looked at an old man on the side of Tingxue on the railing, and said at the same time: "Since you asked, Hu Jiaoxi will teach you a lesson on the spot." ”

The old man took two steps forward, touched his already snow-white beard, and said with a smile: "Then the old man will talk about it." ”

Without saying anything, all the students gathered the old man in a circle, and then sat down on the yellow sand.

The old man coughed and said, "If you want to know the meaning of war, you must first know what war is. ”

One student said, "Kill." ”

Another student said: "Plunder ......"

The old man shook his head, "The so-called war is an armed struggle triggered by politics, and the meaning of war depends on the meaning of politics. ”

The old man smiled and continued: "Of course, we can't deny war because of this, but we have to look at the purpose of waging war, in fact, the so-called war is the same as two people fighting, some people are purely to kill people and goods, while others are to resist, to protect, but the difference is in the number of people who die." ”

Mo Yan suddenly spoke: "Why not to show your strength?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, and Mo Yan continued: "The Song State has the support of the Chaotian Empire, and has destroyed the Zhao State and the Ming State successively, and has attacked the Tang State in the past few years, isn't it just to show their strength? As Hu Jiaoxi said, war is like two people fighting. And some people, in order to show that they are strong enough, will choose to bully others. ”

The old man frowned and said, "This is not a contradiction, because whether it is to get the praise of others or your own reputation, it is a benefit." ”

Jian Jiu got up at this time and said, "Since you have said this, then I want to ask you, what is the purpose of your cultivation?"

Everyone was lost in thought.

Jian Jiu continued: "Is it to make yourself strong, and then to bully the weak?"

Everyone shook their heads and said, "Naturally not." ”

Jian Jiu nodded and said: "We practice so that we don't get bullied by the stronger, so we become stronger, so we can protect more weak people, so we become stronger, so that our teachings can be listened to, so we become stronger...... We have many reasons to be stronger, but we must not be strong because we want to bully others. I hope you will always remember this in your hearts, because only by remembering this can you become stronger. ”

There was silence on the desert, only the sound of wind and sand, and after a long time, all the students stood up and saluted at the same time......
