Chapter 17: The Heavenly Academy

(Reader Junjian: From the beginning of Chapter 16 to Chapter 28, the "Kingdom of Heaven" part of these 12 chapters is for Qin Beiyang's learning of the advanced way, which seems to be fantastic and flying, but in fact it is a secret practice, and will eventually return to the world, please watch it patiently...... )

Above the kingdom of heaven.

The little girl gave Qin Beiyang a roll of the eyes, jumped back from the stone beam, and walked towards the Hanfu boy: "Zhongshan, I'm here!" This newcomer is called Beiyang, and he thought he was a living person. ”

"New here?" It seems that there are other people on this mountain, who have the same experience as Qin Beiyang, and when he woke up after falling into a coma, he found the "Kingdom of Heaven", but he caught up with Fangzi behind his back and said, "Haha, you are really lying to me, what else are you talking about the Kingdom of Heaven!" How can a person eat whole grains after death? Eating breakfast means that you are still in the world. ”

"I hope you have a good appetite!"

The little girl said this strangely, as if she had thrown a small stone on Qin Beiyang's head.

Run to the other side of the hill, on the grass covered with wildflowers, and spread out a carpet. More than a dozen children, both male and female, sat cross-legged behind the scenes. The eldest of them was a young man named Zhongshan, followed by Fangzi, and the rest were only in their early tens, and some of them had childish faces. There are twelve children in total, nine boys and three girls.

Qin Beiyang is the thirteenth.

These children come from all over the world. There was a man named "Marcos", who could not even speak Chinese fluently, with dark skin, deep eyes and high nose, and a bit of a mixed race. There is also a "Zhaolong", who is as thin as a monkey, but he is brave and aggressive, and no one else dares to approach, and he also has a tigerish eye on Qin Beiyang.

It was time to eat, and the children brought breakfast. Qin Beiyang, who didn't know how long he had been in a coma, was already hungry. But he was dumbfounded, and dozens of wild fruits were laid out on the carpet, neither like apples nor raw pears, and the earthy yellow skin had a layer of rough fluff, like macaque hair.

Yoshiko whispered in his ear, "Kiwi, eat!" ”

Qin Beiyang grabbed one and stuffed it into his mouth, he had never tasted the taste, the juice was fresh and tender, the flesh was delicate and sweet, and the aftertaste between his teeth was endless. Although this fairy fruit is delicious, can it satisfy hunger?

The soup was served, a large pot of hot soup, but there was barely oil to be seen. The color is transparent and wafts a strange smell. Everyone had no cutlery in front of them, just sniffing hard and greedily enjoying the smell of hot soup. Qin Beiyang was about to faint, but he could only follow the crowd. But the smell keeps pouring into the nostrils, as if it is wrapped in proteins, carbohydrates, electrolytes, calories......

All the children were silent, as if they had been hypnotized by the smell, and they were full when they smelled it!

After a while, Qin Beiyang burped, and Fangzi approached him and said, "Is it delicious?" ”

"Incredible! Delicious in the world! ”

"It's a soup made with dew!"

"Oh my God! You eat this every day? ”

"Well, dew for breakfast and snow for noon......"

Yoshiko pointed to the year-round snow at the top of the mountain.

"By the way, what do you have for dinner?"

Qin Beiyang still expects to be able to eat a meal of meat, at least a bowl of rice, even noodles.

Fangzi shook her head, glared at a child's unteachable gaze and said, "Have you forgotten the ancient precept of not eating at noon?" ”

"Are you cultivating the Taoist sect of the Buddhist family?"

"Nope."

"That must be Taoism!"

"Not either!" Yoshiko glanced at Nakayama next to her, "You tell him." ”

The boy had put away the soup of dew, let the basin of water disappear in the clouds, and said aloud to the cliff—

"Our practice is the Assassin Way."

Assassin Dao!

The heart is cold to freezing point. Qin Beiyang hated assassins the most in his life, these people killed his adoptive parents, and killed countless innocent people, including Ouyang Anna's father, stole the endless treasures of Dharma Mountain on the sea, and framed Qin Beiyang and Qi Yuanshan as murderers.

He pushed Nakayama and Yoshiko down, dodged the children far away, and ran wildly towards the hillside. But there was no way down, only the edge of a knife-like cliff. The air was getting colder, the weeds were thinning, and the ground was covered with ice.

Suddenly, a blue lake appeared, in the shape of teardrops, with a radius of about 100 meters. There is no stream to feed in, more like a natural mountain and deep pool, so blue that it makes people's hearts palpitate. He rushed to the water's edge, with ice at the edges, and carefully picked up the water and sent it down his throat to cool his heart.

In addition to his own reflection, there is also an extra face in the lake.

An old woman.

Her skin was pale and covered with knife-like wrinkles, like an old queen crawling out of an ancient tomb. There is no phoenix crown, and there is no white hair to be seen, but the head is wrapped in black satin, just like the women common in the southwest. She wore a round-necked robe with a small neckline and a cinched waist, which was different from the clothes of the previous Qing Dynasty. The placket of her dress is open on the left, a rare "left-hand shirt".

The custom of the Han people is that only when a person wears a longevity robe after death, will the placket be opened on the left. When the tomb robbers opened the coffin, the corpses they saw were all "left-handed".

Is she a dead man? Or a mirror phantom in the waters of a mountain lake?

Qin Beiyang turned his head suddenly, and the old woman raised her dry palm and slashed it right on his neck. The force is like a ghost-headed broadsword, making people think that their heads have fallen to the ground and they have lost consciousness again......

I don't know how long it took, Qin Beiyang woke up slowly, first saw Fangzi's eyes, then Zhongshan, and then the old woman.

He was lying on a long table. Overhead is a gold-painted caisson, the beams and pillars are covered with gold dust, and it is a magnificent hall. gasped for breath. Qin Beiyang thought he was tied up with ropes—because twelve children were all around him, looking at him curiously, as if a professor of medicine was leading students in a study of dissecting cadavers.

But he sat up easily, and still touched the Tang knife in his hand, and did not lose his freedom.

The old woman gradually approached, and no longer had to rely on the lake water to refract. A pair of cloudy eyes stared at him, she was at least seventy, or even eighty? Qin Beiyang saw history from her pupils.

"Qin Beiyang, welcome to the Kingdom of Heaven."

"You are ......"

"Meng Po."

She pulled out a blank piece of paper and wrote the two words with a brush.

Alas! Isn't Meng Po the legendary old woman who guards the bridge? After a person dies, he must drink a bowl of Meng Po soup, and he can completely forget the memories of his previous life, let go of love and hatred, and go to the next life to reincarnate.
