Chapter 2 The Strange Old Vine
The Academy of Soul Masters was founded by Martin, an internationally renowned soul controller, and has branches all over the world. The address of the college is very demanding, high mountains, no people are allowed to be inhabited within hundreds of kilometers around, and it is inaccessible to people, so there are very few people who know about this college. Even the professors at the academy couldn't say where they were. For various reasons, the level of secrecy of the Imperial Soul Master Academy is very high. When the new students arrived, they were all at night, and they didn't see the transportation clearly, the shape was like a boat, the volume was not large, and they were very comfortable after boarding, and they just wanted to sleep. When I woke up, I landed here, and no one knows where I went on the way.
There is no fixed enrollment time for the college, and new students are admitted at any time, as long as they find a potential and spiritual power, they will be recruited immediately. Each professor has the right to recruit students independently, and students must have special potential to be students of the Soul Master Academy, and people with this special potential don't even know themselves, which requires professors to use their own abilities to find them out in the vast sea of people.
The courtyard is built on a mountain, there is no top of the mountain, in the middle is a huge flat land, but it is not completely flat, by the small hills, stone pillars, waterfalls flowing down from the abrupt mountain, small forest gardens, surrounded by small streams, they are a whole, and they are independent, do not affect each other, contrast with each other, and the combination is so appropriate, as if it is artificially carefully designed, and there is no trace of artificial sculpture, natural mixing. The houses were built on the edge of the hill, forming a wall that enclosed the college.
The courtyard is a miniature version of nature, with mountain peaks, forests, waterfalls, streams, caves, and so on.
In addition to the dormitory, there are also some houses marked with numbers, such as Hall 1 and Hall 2, and there is nothing marked with Wang. The gatehouse was closed, and there were guards guarding it, and when they asked about the old students, they kept it secretive and never mentioned it. Maybe even they don't know.
Security guards are professional guards, they have been cultivating loyalty since birth, practicing grappling and fighting, and are specifically responsible for the protection of key national secret projects and units, and ordinary people do not want to approach.
The garden is so large that you can't see it all in a day or two. When it was almost time for dinner, the freshman Shangguan Wuchai returned to the dormitory.
The single room is not big, all made of wood, and the house is full of wood fragrance. Living in this kind of house, even in the deep mountains and old forests, there is no sense of loneliness and loneliness, on the contrary, it will be particularly reassuring and down-to-earth - sleeping in the embrace of nature can not be steady. None of the utensils in the room were superfluous, a bed, a small wardrobe, a writing desk, a state-of-the-art FUN computer, a small dining table. Dinner was on the table. A small plate of beef, a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, a plate of greens, a small bowl of broth, and a small bowl of jasmine rice with sorghum rice – just enough to eat.
After eating, it was dark, and the lighting in the house was changed. The moonlight poured down from the transparent roof, and when I looked up, I saw a sky full of stars, and a crescent moon, which sprinkled the light of the whole place in the house.
The clear blue sky looks far away, but it is so close that it seems to be touched, and it is easy to think of fairy tales. The mountains, the cabins, all this is like a dream, but it is so real.
Wuchai didn't have a trace of sleepiness, so he simply jumped out of bed and quietly went out the door.
The moonlight and the stars illuminate the road clearly, and when you look closely, there are stars everywhere on the roadside, on the mountain, in the forest, on the bridge, by the stream, and they reflect each other with the stars in the sky. It's like someone throwing it in their hands, not far away, not close, just right. She touched the stars on a hill next to her, and in a trance, she felt that she was in the sky. Heaven and earth, heaven and earth, heaven and earth, I can't tell the difference. Pure, clean, without the fear of the night, only the beauty of the night.
There was a figure swaying in the distance, and he avoided them and walked farther away. The girl is used to being alone and is reluctant to come into contact with people. Besides, no one here knows anyone except Professor Long who picked her up.
Walk out of the stream, over the meadows, through the hills and bridges that rise from the ground, thinking that you are on the edge. Suddenly, a mountain stood on the opposite side, as if it was hanging in the air, as if she were hiding from her. She turned back and walked again, but she couldn't find where she had been.
Growing up in the forest, Wuchai generally doesn't get lost. This place is called a change of scenery, and the scenery is different from each angle, so that if you change the angle, you will think that you are lost.
It's so much fun. I don't care about the direction, I just walk and go.
After walking for about a moment, I came to the edge of the main mountain. On the opposite side is a hill, shrouded in a blue halo, bright throughout, shimmering with a mysterious and fascinating light. The butterflies fluttered their transparent wings in the air, and they all became fireflies. There was a sound in the bushes, and the leaves swayed, revealing blue, sparkling eyes from within.
This mountain is right in front of you, within reach, it is suspended in the air, but there is a gorge in the middle, the black area, the bottom is not visible, and there is no way to cross it.
"How do you get there?"
Wu Guess was thinking, she really wanted to take a look over there. At this moment, a thick vine swished out from her feet, stretched out like a snake to the opposite side, back and forth several times, forming a curved and spacious rattan bridge.
"Can I get through?"
Unguessed asked in surprise. She has been dealing with animals since she was a child and can control them, but she doesn't know that plants also have spirituality and can be controlled.
At this time, a dragonfly aircraft stopped in the sky. The guard in a black police uniform stretched out: "Fujiqiao came out to show that you can pass, but it's getting late, and you're a freshman, so it's best not to go alone"
The guard's expression was a little human.
"Hmm. “
Without guessing, staring at the rattan, a little reluctant.
"There's a guy over there? Why don't you let a new student live?
Wu Guess thought like this, stunned.
The guard drove away. He didn't understand how Fujiqiao could open a bridge for a freshman, and why couldn't she come from.
Wuchai lowered his head and said "thank you" to the living spirit vine, and the model shrank back as if she had heard it.
The girl crouched to the side and watched, her dark eyes full of surprise.
Shangguan Wuchai grew up in nature, and when she was two or three years old, her playmates were animals. As soon as she whistled, she would bring them to her, she named them, tickled them, scratched lice, and helped them pull out the thorns stuck in their teeth. They are her mounts, and she can summon them at any time to take her to any fun place.
She also talks to trees and flowers, but they don't respond. When I came here, I realized that plants also have souls, and rattan can also be used as a bridge, and it can understand people's speech, which is also amazing.
She crouched here, looking at the mountain opposite, talking to the rattan.
"Grandpa Rattan, will you carry me over tomorrow?"
The rattan fluttered on the ground.
"Are there animals in the mountains on the other side? Will they be able to understand speech?"
"This is the same as the Imperial Soul Academy, you have been catalyzed by the Imperial Soul Master, so you have spiritual power, right?"
Wu Chai asked like this, and when he heard a noise behind him, he didn't look back. Continue to ask the rattan endlessly.
After a while, the rattan was silent. Only then did she turn her head and reluctantly walked back.
Not far away, a man landed on all fours, jumped over, and disappeared in an instant.
"Why does he walk like an animal? What kind of exercise is this?"
Wu Chai thought as he went back. But the road changed again, and the brooks and meadows were gone, and the path she had come on was gone, and she couldn't find her way back. Stand there worried. A black shadow flashed, and it was the creature on all fours. He scurried in front, this time at a slightly slower pace, as if to lead the way for Wuchai, who followed him out of the maze.
"Thank you!"
Wu Guess said to the shadow in front of him. The man didn't answer, and he staggered back and forth and disappeared again.
When I returned to the dormitory, I lay on the bed, looked at the stars in the sky, thought about my plaything friends in the woods, and thought about the old vine, who was not good at walking, and the guy who led the way for me, and thought about falling asleep.
