Chapter 209: Taking Over the Academy (Seeking Collection)
The sky is getting white.
Meng Yingying turned over with the rabbit in her arms, and suddenly, she looked into the house with wide eyes, saw Yang Xiao's figure, smiled at the corner of her mouth, fiddled with the rabbit ears twice, and fell asleep again.
Knock knock!
There was a knock at the door, and a childish voice was heard.
"Yingying, if you don't get up again, you'll be late, and if you're late, the master won't give you food, and then you'll be hungry. ”
Meng Yingying's eyes widened, she rolled over and got up, and put on her straw sandals, "Wait, I'll come out right away." “
After tidying up her clothes, Meng Yingying opened the door, and there was an eight or nine-year-old girl standing outside the door, pulling Meng Yingying and running out.
"Wait. Meng Yingying stopped suddenly, turned around and said, "Big brother, I'm going to school, I'll bring you something to eat later." ”
The other girl glanced at Yang Xiao curiously, but thinking that the time was not early, she didn't ask carefully, and pulled Meng Yingying to run towards the village.
Yang Xiao touched his nose, he looked like someone who needed a child to bring food?
He exhaled his breath and waved his robe, and a warm breeze blew in the house, the quilt was folded automatically, and the dust flew outside.
Yang Xiao packed everything, closed the gate, and walked to the head of the village.
The hope that Granny Meng's soup brought him, as long as he kept drinking it, the matter of the chain of life and death would be resolved.
The head of the village was full of people, some with firewood knives, others with bows and arrows, and they walked to the mountains to hunt and chop wood.
There were more than a dozen village names on the stall, both men and women, and everyone had a happy smile on their faces.
Yesterday, Yang Xiao learned from Meng Yingying that there is no such thing as money in Meng Village, and the village names are all bartering, and if the family is in difficulty, everyone will also help.
And Granny Meng's stall provides tea and soup for free to the village name.
Yang Xiao found a place to sit down, and a few young girls next to him secretly looked over.
When he turned to look over, the girls immediately withdrew their gaze and pretended that they had never peeked.
The old woman broke a bowl of soup, and the thick white soup had magical power.
Just a bowl of soup can solve the problem of countless powerhouses in the Galaxy Continent being helpless.
Yang Xiao drank the soup slowly, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he listened to the girls discussing him.
"Such a handsome man, I don't know where he came from, if only he could be a man for me. ”
"Bah, you little prodigal hoof, you want to be my man. ”
"Hmph, such a handsome man, only I, Meng Huahua, can match. ”
The corners of Yang Xiao's mouth twitched, Meng Huahua, with a figure of two hundred catties, his small body could not withstand this size.
After drinking the soup, take a stroll up the mountain.
Dusting off the snowflakes on his shoulders, revealing the eight-winged snow cicada inside, the latter looked at Yang Xiao with resentment.
Who's the right incense!
Yang Xiao coughed and looked around, "Eight wings, where is the cicada ancestor buried, you see, I've come here, I have to go and worship its old man." ”
"Don't even think about it. The eight-winged snow cicada flew up, "The cicada ancestor doesn't need your worship, and I also know the place where the cicada ancestor is buried." ”
Yang Xiao pursed his lips, the ancestral land is so big, as long as he looks for it carefully, it won't take long to find a place.
However, not now, the eight-winged snow cicada is by his side, digging people's ancestral graves in front of others, he still can't do such a lack of morality.
Well, you have to do it secretly, for example, at night, when the eight-winged cicada is asleep.
I shot an elk and found some wild vegetables.
Yang Xiao returned home, lit a fire to cook, and after the meal was cooked, he found that it was still early, and planned to go to see Meng Yingying and the village school.
Meng Village is isolated from the world, and for many years, no one has ever visited.
There was even a school, which made him very curious.
Stopping a village name on the road makes it easy to know where the school is.
There are two hills around the village, and the school is located at the foot of another hill.
Following the direction pointed by the name of the village, Yang Xiao came to the outside of the school, and before he entered the door, he heard the melodious sound of reading in the school.
"Learning and learning from time to time, don't you also say, there are friends from afar, and they are happy......"
"My day and three provinces and my body: seeking for others and not being loyal to ......"
"Threesome, there must be my teacher......"
Analects...... Yang Xiao frowned, a long time ago, he had discovered that the learning hall in the Galaxy Continent was exactly the same as that of the ancient earth.
However, many wise people were asked, but no one could tell why.
The most heard sentence is that it has existed since ancient times, and no one knows when it was handed down.
Through the window, Yang Xiao saw Meng Yingying, with a wrinkled face and a distressed look, and recited aloud with the classmates around her.
There were about fifty or sixty students in the school, and there was not much difference in age, between seven or eight and eleven or twelve.
The teacher was an old man with snow-white silver hair and an elegant taste between his eyebrows.
Dressed in a green robe, he walked among the students, holding a ring ruler in his hand, and when he encountered a student who was coughing, the ring ruler would hit the table hard.
It looks very strict, but the heart is very kind, and the love for the students can be seen at a glance.
"Big brother. Meng Yingying saw Yang Xiao, her face showed joy, put down the book in her hand, and waved at him.
Yang Xiao was about to respond, but saw the master walk over, blocking his vision.
Syllable!
There was a sound of the collision between the ring ruler and the desktop in the school, and Meng Yingying was so frightened that she quickly picked up the book and read it carefully.
As for Yang Xiao, she had forgotten about it.
The master looked out the window and happened to be looking at Yang Xiao.
Yang Xiao nodded with a smile, it must be difficult to impart knowledge in this place where you only make a living and don't need to learn.
The master walked out and said, "You are the big brother in Yingying's mouth." ”
Yang Xiao nodded slightly, and said, "Her elder once saved my life, and before he died, let me come back to take care of his family for him." ”
The master frowned and said, "You're from outside?"
Although he was asking, his tone was full of affirmation.
Yang Xiao asked rhetorically, "How did the master see it?"
The master smiled and said, "If you learn a lot, you will naturally know it, and besides, I have heard that Yingying had a grandfather who once left the village and wanted to go to the outside world, and now it has been sixty years since his grandfather left. ”
Yang Xiao asked again, "Why doesn't the master go to the outside world to see." ”
The master shook his head, smiled bitterly, and said, "When I was young, I thought about reading the books left by my ancestors, and when I read them thoroughly, I would go out for a walk, but this reading is a lifetime. ”
Yang Xiao admires the old man in front of him very much, he has been poor all his life, just to study, which is something that many people can't do.
The master said again: "Since the guests are here, stay for lunch before leaving." ”
Yang Xiao nodded and said, "Then bother." ”
The master returned to the school and continued to teach, while Yang Xiao sat in the courtyard, watching the children study seriously but painfully, and listening to the catchy sound of reading.
At noon, several villagers brought lunch.
In the school.
The children put down their books and looked eagerly at the food outside the door.
The master said, "Let's eat." ”
The children jumped for joy and ran out of the school one by one, forming a long line.
The meals are very rich, three dishes and one soup, with meat and vegetarian.
The Master came to him, stretched out his hand, and said, "Please." ”
Following the master, he walked to the back of the school and came to a wooden house.
The two walked in, the wooden house had three rooms, a lobby, one should be the inner room, and another room, Yang Xiao secretly opened the Demon Dao Heavenly Eye, and saw many books through the door.
Some of the book covers are new, which should have been newly written by the master, some of the book covers are successful, and some are bamboo books, and the writing is sallow, which seems to have been handed down from a long time ago.
His gaze fell to the back room and said, "Master lives alone?"
The master brought in two bowls of rice and said, "My wife went a long time ago, leaving behind a daughter, but her temperament is different from mine, she likes the outside world, she left the village a few years ago, and she hasn't come back until now, and I don't know what happened?"
Yang Xiao looked deeply at the upper room and did not answer.
The master took out another bottle of old wine from the study, poured a glass, and said, "Young Master Yang is a legendary cultivator?"
Yang Xiao took a sip of wine and asked, "How can you see it?"
There are no cultivators in the ancestral land of the Cicada Clan, there are all mortals and beasts here.
Master Fushu said with a smile: "Temperament, ordinary people don't have the temperament of Yang Gongzi who doesn't eat fireworks in the world, he seems to be mortal, but he has a kind of game red dust." ”
Yang Xiao was stunned, did he have this kind of temperament? I always felt that it was the master's blind guess.
The two of them ate a mouthful of food, and the master drank the wine in the cup, sighed long, and said, "There is something I want to ask Yang Gongzi, I don't know if I can agree." ”
Yang Xiao looked at the back room, frowned, and said, "The master wants me to find your daughter for you." ”
The master shook his head and said, "No, it's this group of children outside, I'm old, I'm afraid it won't be long before I will be buried in the ground.
So I want to ask Yang Gongzi to stay and teach these children to study after I die.
It won't take long until they can read the books in the house.
Presumably, with Yang Gongzi's long life, this time is just a drop in the ocean. ”
Yang Xiao said: "I have the art of cultivation here, if you are willing to learn it, it will not be a problem to live for a few hundred years." ”
It is full of spiritual energy, and it is easy to help people step into the path of cultivation.
The master shook his head again, "Dust to dust, soil to earth, longevity is over, it should return to the earth, in my life, except for the concern for my daughter, I have no other thoughts."
However, even if I see my daughter again, it will only increase my sadness, but I will go there. ”
Yang Xiao took a deep look at the old man in front of him, everyone in the world seeks immortality, and who can be exempt from vulgarity.
If someone had told him that he had seen enough of a person, he would not have believed it, but to this day, he has seen such a person.
After thinking about it, the matter of the chain of life and death, you still have to drink the soup of the old woman, according to the current process, it is impossible to untie the chain of life and death without more than ten years.
If you have nothing to do, you might as well agree.
He said, "Yes." ”
Hearing this, the master's face showed joy, pointed to the study, and said: "That's my study, there are thousands of books in a few years, if Yang Gongzi likes it, you can go in and read it at any time." ”
The master was very happy to find someone who was willing to take over the school today, and drank several glasses of wine, but he stopped thinking that he would have to teach in the afternoon.
After lunch, the master returned to the school.
And Yang Xiao stayed in the house, he looked at the inner room and said, "If my guess is correct, you should be the master's daughter." ”
A girl in Tsing Yi floated out of the inner room and bowed to Yang Xiao: "Meng Qian'er has seen Yang Gongzi. ”
Soul...... Yang Xiao was a little surprised, as soon as he entered the house, he noticed that this soul, and it was not an ordinary soul, this woman's cultivation before birth was at least the soul seed realm, so that he would have a condensed soul body and stay in the world for a long time.
Meng Qian'er continued: "I also ask Yang Gongzi to help me keep it secret, I don't want my father to know about it." ”
Yang Xiao nodded, after Meng Qian'er left Meng Village, she must have had some chances, but unfortunately, the struggle between cultivators was more intense than the struggle of mortals.
However, it is good to be able to leave a soul after death.
Yang Xiao said: "I agreed to your father's request, and I won't worry about anything else." ”
He turned and walked into the study, his eyes fixed on the bamboo book.
This kind of book only existed in a long time ago, and Yang Xiao wanted to see what was recorded in it.
After all, as an ancient book, it is still quite valuable for research, and the longer I live in the Galaxy Continent, the more I am confused.
The history of the Galaxy Continent seems to be shrouded in a layer of fog, and a fault appeared a long time ago.
And the people of Meng Village, the long inheritance, I am afraid can be traced back to the era before the fog.
Open the bamboo book, which records the history of the development of the human race.
Once upon a time, the Terrans were ruled by the Human Emperor, and after a certain period of time, a new Human Emperor would appear to lead the Terrans against the Terrans.
It has been passed down from generation to generation, until the last one has a problem.
This emperor of the people was at war with all races and threatened the gods, but the perennial war left him with a dark disease.
The most important thing is that at this time, there is no one in the human race who can take over the position of the next human emperor.
After discussing with the Terran elders at that time, they prepared to seal the Human Emperor on the sun, so that the Terran could wake him up in times of crisis, so as to deter the enemies of all races.
"Interesting. Yang Xiao smiled softly.
The matter of the human emperor has never been heard of on the Galaxy Continent, and I am afraid it can be traced back to before the fault line in history.
After so many years, even the gods can't hold on, unless they used the magic medicine to seal it at that time.
But the Terrans never possessed a miracle medicine.
It is estimated that this last human emperor has already died in the long river of history.
