Chapter 70: The Night of the Fireside on the Hard Ground

6:30 p.m.

According to the usual time, the students should have already started their evening self-study at this time.

Today, however, is different.

More than 2,000 students of the Ninth School of Spirituality gathered in the central square of the college.

There are 23 classes, each class is divided into three columns, and the row is like a dragon on the ground, winding and considerable.

The square was crowded with people.

Although the counselors and teachers did not come out to maintain order, the square of 2,000 people miraculously did not appear chaotic, but orderly.

The students, all dressed in school uniforms, stood in the queue, their faces showing a certain tense restlessness.

Many people stand empty-handed, and many people carry backpacks.

Backpacks are also divided into sizes, and Cheng Lin's backpack looks relatively shriveled.

There weren't many items inside, a small futon, some biscuits, ham sausages, plus a few bottles of water, and the folding shovel he brought from Ningcheng......

Cheng Lin originally wanted to bring a weapon, but he really didn't have it in his hand.

In the end, I just took a folding shovel.

The futon is considered to be inconvenient to bring for meditation in the wild.

As for food, it's prepared.

At this point in time, most of the students had already finished dinner.

If all goes well, Cheng Lin and the others may have to wait until the projection disappears before coming back.

Follow the experience of the first two projections.

The existence time of the projection seems to be increasing, and compared with the existence time of "Mangyuan" for more than a day, the survival time of "Sand City" is estimated to be no less.

During this process, the college will definitely arrange for the delivery of meals.

But staying up late to practice is always a physically exhausting thing, so bringing some food is also something that many people consider.

Other than that, the two bottles of potion.

Cheng Lin did not put it in his backpack, but put it in the inner pocket of his clothes.

He was prepared like this, and the rest of his classmates were similar.

However, there are also more alternative, like a classmate in his nineties next to Cheng Lin.

There were three large power banks in the backpack.

It's like carrying three bricks on your back.

Phablets and the like come with a full set.

Cheng Lin was very suspicious of whether this product was going to cultivate, or taking the opportunity to go out to play games and watch dramas.

……

"All of them, starting from the first shift, go out and ride in order!"

After meeting in the square and taking roll call, be led by a college counselor.

Cheng Lin and the others began to walk out of the school gate in batches by class.

Take the bus at the school gate and leave.

A car can hold dozens of people, and a class needs two buses.

23 classes, plus many teachers from the college, will also go with them.

There are more than 50 of those buses alone, and it looks spectacular.

……

Wait to get on the bus.

The trainees in the same car suddenly became excited and noisy, and many people immediately took out their mobile phones and started to connect to the Internet.

The impatience is indescribable.

Cheng Lin saw with his own eyes a girl in the seat next to him, and when she opened the Taobao website again with her mobile phone, she cried excitedly.

Tears of joy!

What's more, a boy next to him hurriedly logged on to a mobile game, and then heard a heart-rending wail:

"I knew it! I haven't played for half a month, and I really dropped the paragraph!! ”

Cheng Lin was very calm about this.

He just silently opened the browser of his mobile phone and logged in to the devotional forum.

In fact, most of all the students started to learn about the news for the first time, or opened the chat software to process some information, of course, due to the problems of the academy regulations, they will not say some sensitive content.

Each student's account is registered with the Academy, and the Academy can access their chat history and track down their responsibilities.

Everyone still knows this.

But it's not really a matter of counting, anyway, the information they have so far is not classified.

……

Soon, the students, including Cheng Lin, finally reconnected with the world and learned about the current situation outside.

I also learned about the message that appeared in the projection of "Sand City".

learned the true identity of "Cheng Lin".

The post, which was first published on a devotional forum, has become the hottest article of the day.

And when these students read this article.

Immediately there was a discussion.

Rising by Day......

The strongest cultivator in the era of the end of the law......

Travel around the world......

The first Ascendant of the New Summer Kingdom......

These messages were like huge waves, shattering their hearts and minds.

Then it was reorganized, evolving into an infinite melancholy and imagination.

Young people still have idealism in their hearts.

And blood and passion.

Especially for those who have successfully stood out from the crowd and become practitioners of the new era.

The future of cultivation shown to them by the predecessors of "Cheng Lin" is attractive enough and enough to make them leisurely and fascinated.

Or even idolize it.

However, Cheng Lin's feelings were completely different from theirs.

Silently read the devotional forum post.

Cheng Lin's face was flushed, his face was hot, and he was embarrassed.

After all, he is still not thick enough, and in the face of the praise of this article, he still feels embarrassed.

Kindness......

"But speaking of which, it seems that the effect of this message has met my expectations."

"In its current form, it should be possible to mislead people to a certain extent, and that would be enough."

Cheng Lin thought to himself.

Seeing with his own eyes that the public opinion of the whole society has successfully shifted according to his vision.

Cheng Lin breathed a sigh of relief, but also had a strange sense of pride.

But soon, he adjusted his mentality.

After spending a while reading the relevant information on the Internet, Cheng Lin closed his eyes and began to rest.

……

When you're scrolling through your phone, or when you're asleep, time flies.

When the speed of the bus slows down, it stops.

The students woke up one after another, and they had arrived.

Wang Daming's figure appeared outside the bus at some point, guiding the students of the third class to get off the bus and gather.

Cheng Lin also opened his eyes and stepped off the bus.

As soon as he landed, he saw that the other students all turned their heads in unison, staring at the huge projection in the distance with wide eyes.

Cheng Lin also looked at it.

The huge, magnificent, mysterious and transparent city with no edge visible at a glance was presented to them in this way.

For many of the students, this was the first time they had seen the projection up close.

So I was curious.

And for Cheng Lin, this is really not good-looking.

The only message he cares about is also seen through photos on the Internet.

As a result, this city, which is full of mystery and novelty in the eyes of the students, looks so boring in the eyes of Cheng Lin.

"Attention everyone!"

Wang Daming, who was standing at the front of the crowd, moved his lips, and his voice accurately covered the range of the students in the third class.

"Projection range, unauthorized entry is strictly prohibited!

All students follow the class teacher of each class into the assigned area and practice in an orderly manner.

No noise, no disturbance,

Now, come with me! ”

After speaking, Wang Daming led them and began to march in a certain direction.

The range of Sand City is large, and the concentration of spiritual energy around it is relatively uniform.

But considering the fact that the projection does not know when it solidifies, and the dangers that may exist in it.

The areas to which the trainees are assigned are still relatively far away.

There is still some distance from the edge of the projection.

Due to the large number of cultivators, if you cultivate together, there will be a competition for aura.

Therefore, the 23 class positions are very different.

The order is also shuffled.

The two classes adjacent to Class 3 are Class 15 and Class 7.

A total of 300 trainees occupy an area.

The farthest class was even in other directions of Shacheng, and Cheng Lin couldn't see it.

"Your area is here,

When it's dark, do you see the light and heat stove on the ground?

These 10 solar thermal stoves are the scope of our class!

You can group yourself,

A group of ten people sat around a thermothermal stove,

If there are no surprises, there will be no more movement all night today!

The concentration of aura here is very high, I hope you will hurry up and practice seriously! ”

Wang Daming led everyone to an open field, pointed in front of him, and said.

Cheng Lin looked at it when he heard this.

It was almost eight o'clock in the evening.

It was already completely dark.

Fortunately, it is the middle of the year, and the moonlight is good tonight, so that you won't be able to see the scenery clearly.

On a dark night, this is a wilderness far from the city.

The closest human facility to this area is the national highway.

The black oil pavement reflected some strange light in the moonlight, which was the so-called black and shiny.

On that national highway, you can see the lights of some vehicles, like shooting stars, walking close to the ground, fleeting, and extremely fast.

In the direction of the projection gate, there is an area like a parking lot.

The cars of the special department, police cars, military vehicles, and interview vehicles......

There are even medical field ambulances with the Red Cross logo on standby.

Densely packed together.

Against the backdrop of the dark countryside, there is a bizarre, industrial waste-like sense of agitation.

And in the direction of Wang Daming's finger.

Ten braziers were evenly placed on the apparently simply cleared land.

The word "brazier" was the first concept that came to Cheng Lin's mind after seeing them.

But according to Wang Daming, this thing should be called a "light and thermal furnace".

Say it's a stove, but it really looks more like a brazier.

A metal container with a cover with a cut-out pattern on it.

Inside the brazier, a yellow-orange fire burns.

This fire is also different from what Cheng Lin has seen before, it is very exquisite.

Although it was windy, it barely moved.

It does not take the form of a flame, but as if the burning substance inside is glowing.

He could even tell the kind of boxy stones burning in the furnace.

If you have to describe it, some of them are similar to a red-hot soldering iron, or the solid alcohol that ignites at the bottom of the pot when you go to a hot pot restaurant to eat hot pot.

"What is this light and heat stove?"

A student next to him asked with a puzzled expression.

"I know, I know, do you see the burning stone inside, yes, it's a kind of stone, it's some mutated stone found after the revival of the aura,

You all know spirit ore, right? It's very precious, the kind that can assist in cultivation,

Spirit ore also belongs to this category, but it is much more precious than this.

This kind of burning stone, which contains a small amount of fire element,

It cannot be absorbed and extracted, it can only be burned,

That's a lot better than anthracite......"

"I see...... Haha, is this for light and heating? ”

"Shall we sit around it?"

"Wow, it feels like a picnic, around a campfire......"

"Hey, I'll go, I forgot to bring a futon! What can I do? ”

Some of the students couldn't help but start talking.

At this time, some of the lively, sociable students had quickly occupied each of the light and hot stoves, and began to shout:

"Team up, team up! Team up to practice, a group of ten, the one who can beat the king is required, and the minimum gold segment! ”

"Accept people, ask not to make noise, cultivate quietly, violators kick out of the circle, there are still five places left, come quickly!"

"This stove girl has taken it! Girls' Team! Girls' Team! Don't accept men, except for pseudo-mothers! ”

Cheng Lin looked at this scene in amazement.

The expression is wonderful.

It's okay to practice in a group......

As for the one who formed a group to fight the king, are you serious?

Doesn't being a homeroom teacher?

Cheng Lin turned his head to look at Wang Daming, thinking that the head teacher would come out to stop it.

Unexpectedly, Wang Daming had already occupied an inner lot, sat on the ground, and entered the state of cultivation.
