The disciples of the gate entered the Longshan Academy and returned a moment later, followed by five or six people in white robes, each of whom was born to be otherworldly. The middle-aged man led by three strands of black beard scattered on his chest, his face was fair and ruddy, giving people an unfathomable feeling.

This person is Qi Huan, the vice president of Longshan Academy and Lingzhou Branch. Behind him were five old men, all of whom were saints in the management of Longshan Academy and Lingzhou Branch, all of whom were thin and vigorous.

The six of them came all the way under the guidance of the disciples of the gatekeeper. Seeing the person at the door, Qi Huan smiled and arched his hand: "It turned out that the Great Elder of the Zheng family came, and it was really a rare guest, a rare guest." ”

Zheng Tianqiao bowed his hand and replied: "I haven't seen Vice President Qi Huan for three years, but I didn't expect it to become stronger and stronger, and my cultivation is even more beyond Zheng's reach." After some greetings, Zheng Tianqiao pointed to Zheng Wujian beside him and introduced Qi Huan: "Dean, this is the young master of our Zheng family, the son of Zheng Hesheng, the court lieutenant - Zheng Wuji. ”

Zheng Wujian took a step forward, took a deep look, and said respectfully: "The Zheng family is Wuji, I have seen the dean." I have always heard that the dean is highly cultivated and respected, and he has long intended to visit, but he suffers from the high threshold of Longshan Academy, and he is ashamed of his lack of talent and talent, so he does not dare to come to the door. ”

"You're polite, my father and I are also good friends, there are not so many rules, just come if you want."

Zheng Wujian was polite to Qi Huan, and greeted the five saints behind him one by one, then took a step back and stopped talking. Qi Huan then beckoned to welcome the guests, "Distinguished guests are coming to the door, please come inside." ”

Zheng Wujian arranged for more than a dozen family guards to wait outside the door, and Zheng Tianqiao and the two followed into the mountain gate of Longshan Academy. Entering the mountain gate, Zheng Wujian was immediately attracted by the internal scene, the heart of the Imperial Kingdom is really generous, and the academy is built so magnificently!

Following Qi Huan and the others all the way to the door of the inner courtyard of the academy, one of the saints stepped forward and tapped the thick door a few times, and a childish voice sounded inside, "Who is it?" ”

"Bitter Saint."

Hearing the voice, the door opened from the inside with a "creak", and a thin young man greeted him respectfully: "Dean, please come in, saint, please come in." ”

The group slowly entered the inner courtyard of the academy, and the scene in front of them suddenly opened up.

Zheng Wuji's eyes revealed envy, but deep in his heart, a sense of gloom suddenly appeared. He was supposed to live happily under the protection of his parents, just like his peers. However, his father's official position and the family's mission made him mature prematurely, and at such an age, he started a silent game with a group of scheming family elders.

Inside the gate is still a square, slightly smaller than the outer courtyard square, but it is quite cleverly arranged. In the center is a small chess fairy statue, polished with white jade. In front of the icon, a circle of white jade is built into a pool, and the water lilies in the pool are clustered, adding a touch of greenery to the white square.

Walking to the pool, Zheng Wuqian saw the thousand-tailed koi swimming freely in the pool, and the huge ingot-shaped scales on their bodies were pieced together into gorgeous abstract paintings.

Bypassing the pool, on the left side are rows of neat and majestic houses, with carved beams and beams, and a circle of flying pictures on the forehead of the door is lifelike.

Qi Huan pointed to these buildings and introduced: "This is the Kunwu Academy's classroom, usually the disciples of the Kunwu Academy practice in the martial arts arena in the morning, and study martial arts theory here in the afternoon. ”

After introducing the Kunwu Academy, Qi Huan stretched out his hand and pointed to the distance, where there was a mountain tip hidden in the clouds and mist, and said, "There is the Qianxiang Courtyard." Due to the relatively small number of disciples of the Qianxiangyuan and the fact that they like to be quiet, the Qianxiangyuan is placed on the Tiger Roaring Rock to isolate themselves from the world. ”

Zheng Wujian has no intention of Qianxiang, Kunwu Second Academy, he has long heard that the most mysterious second courtyard in Longshan Academy is the Second Courtyard of Heaven and Earth, I don't know where it is?

With this in mind, Zheng Wujian asked: "I have heard that the Heavenly Pole and the Second Courtyard of the Earth Demon of Longshan Academy are mysterious, I don't know where they are?" Can the dean take us to take a look, so that we can solve our doubts. ”

Qi Huan was slightly stunned, and then burst out laughing, and the five saints behind him also laughed.

"I wonder why the dean and the saint are laughing?"

Qi Huan stopped laughing and said, "The question of Wufeng is difficult for me to wait, to be honest, although I and the saints have been in charge of Longshan Academy for many years, we don't know where the Heavenly Pole and the Earth Demon Second Courtyard are. As for laughing, it's really self-irony, and the young master of the Zheng family shouldn't be surprised. ”

Zheng Wujian was confused, and wondered, could it be that Longshan Academy was just a waste of fame? The two courtyards of the Heavenly Pole and the Earth Demon are actually playing tricks, just to attract people from all walks of life to come?

The Bitter Harvest Saint kept looking at Zheng Wuji's expression, and understood his thoughts at this time, so he explained for the dean: "The young master of the Zheng family doesn't know that the Heavenly Pole and the Earth Demon Second Courtyard were set up when the academy was established, and the entry threshold is very high, and you need to pass the test of the Battle Saint Corridor before you can enter. ”

"That is to say, everything is unknown, and it is difficult to say whether there is such a second court?"

"The young master of the Zheng family is wrong in what he said." The bitter sage corrected: "There is a person in the imperial kingdom who once entered the Tianji Courtyard and cultivated in it for thirty years before he got out, and many saints have asked this person, where is the Tianji Courtyard?" What is being taught in it, and who is teaching? This person doesn't talk about anything, just one sentence, and the secret of heaven must not be revealed. ”

Hearing this, Zheng Wujian suddenly became interested and asked, "Who is the person who entered the Heavenly Pole Courtyard?" ”

Qi Huan answered at this time, and said with a mysterious face: "The man is the current king of the Pilu Kingdom, Shangzong Taiji. Qi Huan raised his head and squinted at the sky, with a deep pride on his face, as if he was the one who entered the Tianji Courtyard, and said: "Before the king entered the Tianji Courtyard, his name was Zong Tianji, and after thirty years of coming out, he changed his name to Zong Taiji." ”

"Why did you change your name and what does it mean?"

"The secret of heaven cannot be revealed, hahahaha."

Qi Huan pretended to laugh mysteriously, but in Zheng Wuji's eyes, he only felt that he didn't know what the meaning was, and he just used laughter to cover it up, so he didn't ask anymore.

"Come with me, two distinguished guests, and go to my other garden." Qi Huan stretched out his finger and pointed to a path on the right that was cut diagonally into the dense forest, and took the lead.

The group walked to the end of the trail and entered a deep forest path, which was full of greenery, birds and flowers. After walking on the soft path for half an hour, I came to the end of the path, and the view in front of me was extremely wide.

Here is a flat area next to the mountain stream, planted with green bamboo forests, and a unique courtyard is located next to the cliff, wrapped in bamboo forests. Layers of white mist are blown by the breeze, flowing in the courtyard halfway, looming, it is really a place of immortals.

Entering the wooden door made of golden silk nanmu in the annex, there is a verandah wide on both sides, in the middle is a quiet courtyard, and on a beautiful rockery in the middle, a mist fountain shoots out, and the water of the fountain falls on the surrounding rockery pool, smashing out raindrop-like ripples.

Bypassing the rockery, it is a hall, in which a purple sandalwood screen is placed, and the heavy mountain wild crane is hollowed out on the screen. Turn the screen, there are three halls, not big or small, and behind the hall is the main courtyard.

Facing through the hall is a row of side rooms, the façade is handmade of high-grade wood, the dragon is carved and the phoenix is carved on it, there are also two rows of wing rooms on the verandah on both sides, the front of the door is hung with all kinds of birds, in the morning sun, compete to chirp, it can really be described as a hundred birds and a phoenix.

Zheng Wujian looked a little stupid, the Zheng family has countless gold and silver, the family is huge, and he even has a father who is a court lieutenant in the imperial country, although he has such a solid family background, he has never had such a villa, and he can't help but envy in his heart.

Slowly came to the living room of the opposite row of houses, Zheng Wujian and Zheng Tianqiao sat down separately, and the five saints also served as foils, and they all sat in the next guest seat.

Once seated, Qi Huan's face turned straight, and he said solemnly: "The two Zheng families, Lord Tingwei and I have a good relationship, and the Zheng family has always been friendly with the academy, so we won't say polite words." Just now I heard that the disciple said that the two of you are here to investigate a person, but I don't know who it is? ”

"Since the dean mentioned this matter first, Wujian will be blunt." Zheng Wujian answered: "I heard that Longshan Academy lost a heavy treasure a few days ago, but is there such a thing? ”

Qi Huan was slightly stunned, and replied: "I don't know if what the young master of the Zheng family asked is what you mean, or is it the intention of the court captain?" ”

Zheng Wuqian suddenly felt that his question was a bit abrupt, he was a young master of the Zheng family, and he had no right to ask about the affairs of the academy, if he changed his perspective and was entrusted by Ting Wei to come here to ask, it would be logical.

So he responded: "This time I came to investigate this matter by my father's entrustment. ”

Qi Huan's face did not change, and he said lightly: "Actually, it is not a loss of heavy treasures." For a hundred years, although Wen Tao has been lurking in Longshan Academy, it is not a thing of the academy, we are just protecting it, and now someone has lured it out and recovered this thing, which is also in accordance with the mandate of heaven. Qi Huan said that the righteousness was awe-inspiring.

"Then the dean's meaning is that Longshan Academy has not lost its treasures?"

"So to speak."

Zheng Wuji's face sank, his tone became a little stiff, and he said, "Since it is not considered to have lost a heavy treasure, why did the dean arrest Zong Wusheng?" ”

"Zong Wusheng?" Qi Huan was a little surprised. He didn't know who Zong Wusheng was, so he looked at the five saints. The bitter sage then opened his mouth and explained for the dean: "I think Tingwei may have misunderstood, we did not imprison the person who called the sect no sage. ”

I didn't complain that Qi Huan and the saints were surprised, but in fact, they didn't know the name of the young man who was locked up in the Lang Guanyuan, let alone connect the young man with the person that Tingwei cared about.

"Then why did I hear that Zong Wusheng came to Longshan Academy, and the companion Chu Ge subdued 'Wen Tao', and the academy locked up Zong Wusheng?"

When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized, it turned out that the Zheng family came for the young man who was locked up in the Langguan Courtyard, Qi Huan said: "It turns out that the young master of the Zheng family is here for the young man, Qi doesn't know that he has a relationship with Tingwei, and I hope I don't mind, I will immediately order someone to let him go." ”

"The dean misunderstood." Zheng Wuji's face was grim, "Dean don't worry about himself, Zong Wusheng has nothing to do with my father, the reason why I came to inquire is actually my father's entrustment, to confirm whether it is the Zong Wusheng who has the heart of riot." ”

"Heart of Riot?!" Qi Huan was shocked, how could he have thought that the young man was involved with the word riot. Then he stood up from the main seat: "Longshan Academy is a subordinate institution of the imperial state, and it should cooperate with the arrest of cholera politicians and will not tolerate it. Now that the thug has been apprehended, he should be handed over to the court lieutenant, and you two may now go with me to meet this man, and hand him over to you with my own hands. ”

A stone in Zheng Wuji's heart finally landed, and he couldn't let Zong Wusheng slip away this time, so Huo Ran got up and arched his hand: "Okay, I'll go with the dean, the dean will help catch the thugs this time, I will definitely report my father truthfully." After finishing speaking, under the leadership of Qi Huan and the saints, he walked towards the Langguan Courtyard in the outer courtyard.
