Chapter 705: Rise and Fall
As they spoke, the two of them had already arrived outside the academy.
The academy in front of him showed a dilapidated atmosphere, the surrounding walls had collapsed, the doors in front of it had been shattered, this academy may have had its own glory, but now, all the glory has disappeared with the decay of this academy, and in its place, only ruins remain.
Looking at the academy in front of him, Wan Qian fell silent.
"Brother Lin, do you know the history of this academy?"
Lin Chen shook his head.
Wan Qian slowly spoke: "If I remember correctly, this academy should have existed for a long time. ”
"At the very least, it's a thousand years old."
Lin Chen was stunned.
Wan Qian opened his mouth and said, "There is no doubt that this academy was once established by my master Xiahou, one of the seventy-two saints of Confucianism. ”
"After the master leaves, the academy will still bear the luck of Confucianism and will not be defeated for a thousand years, as long as the luck does not dissipate for a day, it will never be possible for anyone to dare to touch this academy."
"But looking at the degree of dilapidation, it should have been dilapidated more than ten years ago."
"Maybe there are still my Confucian classics inside."
Wan Qi closed his eyes, as if he was perceiving something, and after a while, he slowly spoke: "It seems that my guess is right, the luck of Confucianism still exists, but it is already very thin, if nothing else, if this academy cannot be reopened, it is estimated that within three days at most, this Confucianism luck will completely dissipate." ”
"Let's go, let's go in and have a look."
Lin Chen reached out and patted Wan Qian on the shoulder.
Wan Qian was stunned for a moment, and then nodded, but just as he took a step, a voice suddenly came.
"Stop!"
There was not the slightest emotion in the cold voice, and at the same time as the voice fell, several soldiers in silver armor walked up.
Seeing this, Wan Qi's face changed slightly, and he lowered his voice and said, "It's the Shangguan City Lord's guard." ”
Lin Chen was stunned.
"What's the difference?"
"The Shangguan City Lord can't see any other force entering this Qiutan City, and he is absolutely wary of any force other than Qiutan City."
Hearing this, Lin Chen's expression became solemn.
He didn't know that there was such a secret in this Qiutan City.
His gaze was fixed on the approaching silver-armored soldiers, and he remained calm.
The silver-armored soldier had already walked over to this side, and looked the two of them up and down before he spoke, "Who are you?" ”
"Why are you so close here?"
Wan Qian was about to speak but was stopped by Lin Chen, he looked at the two of them with a smile and said, "Don't be nervous, you two, we just heard that this academy was founded by Xiahou, one of the seventy-two sages of Confucianism, so we just came to take a look,"
"In terms of the ban on entering the city, it should not be said that it is forbidden to come to this kind of place to see."
When these words fell, the faces of the silver-armored soldiers in front of him changed at the same time.
The faces of the two silver-armored soldiers had gradually turned cold, and they looked at Lin Chen with gloomy faces and said, "In short, this place is not allowed to be approached. ”
"Then, you have to give us a reason, if I'm not mistaken, this place should belong to Confucianism."
As soon as the words fell, Lin Chen already felt the killing intention, and the silver-armored soldier in front of him took a step, stared at Lin Chen and said, "Boy, I advise you, this is Qiutan City." ”
Lin Chen's expression still didn't change, but he slowly spoke: "Of course I know that this is Qiutan City, so you, do you know?" ”
These words made the two of them stunned for a moment at the same time, and Wan Qian behind him had already lowered his voice and said to Lin Chen: "Brother Lin, forget it first, don't make trouble, and I believe that the Shangguan City Lord must have his reason for doing this." ”
Lin Chen smiled and said, "If the Shangguan City Lord really did this, it would naturally have his reasons, but it just so happened that he didn't do it. ”
When these words fell, the faces of the two silver-armored soldiers in front of them were already surging with murderous intent.
Lin Chen sneered and said, "Two, do you really want to do it here?" ”
"Although Shangguan Punishment will not interfere in the affairs of Xicheng District, but that person's temper, you should know very well, what he hates the most should not be the intervention of strange forces, but someone in his name."
There was even a hint of playfulness in the calm voice, and when they heard this, the faces of the two silver-armored soldiers were already extremely palpable.
"You!"
"Me?"
Lin Chen stretched out his finger and pointed at his nose, and said with a smile, "How do I know that you are fake?" ”
"Please pee on the two of you and take your own look, you take a closer look at what the silver-armored soldiers look like, even if you are wearing their clothes now, I'm afraid you can't imitate their momentum at all."
"Of course, the two of you can do it to us, but I advise you to think carefully about who will eventually attract attention if you do it to us in this Qiutan City."
"When the time comes, who will be the easiest to die?"
Taking a step, Lin Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, and a chill surged in an instant.
The faces of the two silver-armored soldiers had become extremely ugly, they didn't expect that this almost perfect disguise was still caught by Lin Chen.
"Humph!"
After all, with a cold snort, the silver-armored soldier stared at Lin Chen and slowly said, "Boy, we remember you." ”
"Wait for me!"
The words fell, and the two left quickly.
Seeing this, Lin Chen just sneered on his face.
Wan Qian on the side was already extremely shocked when he saw this, and he glanced Lin Chen up and down before saying, "Brother Lin, you really impress me." ”
"In my impression, you should have only met the silver-armored soldiers once, and it was still so hurried, but you were able to remember their aura in such a short period of time, and you were able to recognize these two people at the first time at this time, they were fakes at all."
"I really admire it."
Lin Chen waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I have a better memory." ”
"But these two people actually dare to pretend to be silver-armored soldiers in this Xicheng District, and it is definitely not small to think about it."
"Maybe they have something more powerful behind them."
"The purpose of your coming to this academy shouldn't be to reopen this academy, investigate as soon as possible, get what you want to get, let's leave as soon as possible."
"In Xicheng District, there is always a force that makes me uneasy."
Wan Qian's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he nodded slightly and said, "Indeed." ”
As early as the first time he entered Xicheng District, he had already sensed this power, and he originally thought it was just his illusion, but now, he can already be sure.
After nodding at Lin Chen, he walked directly into the academy and said, "Actually, I came to this academy this time for two purposes. ”
"One is to find a book called Fenghuatu, and the other reason."
Demon Qi's face changed, and then he said, "It's not important, let's find that book first." ”
Lin Chen nodded and spoke: "Okay." ”
Entering the academy together, they could really feel the dilapidated of the academy, time was pressing, the two began to act separately, Wan Qian went to the backyard of the academy, and Lin Chen searched in the front yard of the academy.
It stands to reason that this belongs to the Confucian Academy, and now it still has the luck protection of Confucianism, although this kind of place has been dilapidated, but it should also have a kind of heroic righteousness, but after entering this academy, Lin Chen can't feel that kind of heroic aura at all.
On the contrary, being here, the unsettling aura that made him even stronger.
And the source of the uneasiness seems to lie ahead.
Frowning slightly, Lin Chen walked slowly forward, the solemn color in his eyes had become more and more intense.
It was as if it was some kind of extremely disgusting aura, and it only took a slight sensation to make it uncomfortable.
There is absolutely no such atmosphere in the Confucian academies.
It's so abnormal.
While thinking about it, Lin Chen had already entered the study in front of him.
At first glance, he saw the corpse in the corner.
The corpse had been some years old, its skin had dried and its skin was wrinkled like tree bark, but there was no injury on its body, but its expression was extremely hideous.
Time is too long to determine the original death of this corpse, but judging from the only clothes left on the body, it should also be a Confucian person.
"Brother Lin, I found it."
As soon as he got close to the corpse, the voice of demonic energy was already heard.
Lin Chen made a silent gesture to Wan Qian who walked in, and then his gaze fell on the corpse.
Seeing the corpse, Wan Qi's face suddenly became extremely ugly.
"Xiao Fang!"
Coming directly to the corpse, Wan Qian frowned.
"Xiao Fang?"
Lin Chen's face changed slightly, and there was a trace of doubt in his eyes.
Wan Qi, who was squatting next to the corpse, sighed, and picked up a jade brand from the corpse, with tassels on it, but after years of dust superposition, this jade plate also looks dilapidated, but it can still feel the brilliance of the past.
On the jade plate, you can vaguely see the three words Yi Xiaofang.
"This is my classmate."
"At the beginning, I walked out of the Yingqian Academy in the land of Qilu with me."
Lin Chen's face changed slightly.
The land of Qilu is the place where Confucianism flourishes today, where Confucianism and Taoism are particularly prevalent, and this surplus academy is even more of a leader, there are several emperors who have come out of the surplus academy, and even a thousand years ago, there was also an emperor-level figure.
Lin Chen guessed that Wan Qian was not small, but he didn't expect him to be so big.
But in the end, it was just a shock, Lin Chen didn't speak, he was waiting for Wan Qi's words.
Wan Qian said: "The theory of the seventy-two sages of Confucianism began to appear as early as more than twenty years ago, and seven years ago, Xiao Fang decided to come to the academy founded by this master Xiahou to have a look, but as soon as he went, there was no news. ”
"At that time, I was here, and by the time I returned to the academy, Xiao Fang had already been gone for seven years."
"In order to find him, I really decided to find out the news of the seventy-two saints."
"Unexpectedly, now his bones have been found in a different place."
