Chapter 408: Stranger

When the fifth Tingyun and the others came to a certain place by the river, they accidentally turned their heads and saw a boulder lying not far in front of them, engraved with four crooked but vaguely recognizable "Xiaoxiang Academy" four big characters, even he himself couldn't believe that this was actually the gate of Xiaoxiang College?

In his impression, Nanshu Academy is wider than a street, although it is not magnificent, but at least the tall and open gate, and the mighty stone gate of Jiaqing Academy roaring against the Chu River like a huge mouth, that can be regarded as the gate of the academy. This time he went to Shenjing, his only regret was that he didn't go to the Emperor Star Academy and Jinghua Academy that were full of Yanhua, but he probably guessed that the courtyard decisions of these two colleges would only be more majestic than Jiaqing Academy.

The style of the academy is probably positively related to its fame.

But Xiaoxiang Academy seems to be an exception?

Shi Fu was also a little surprised like the fifth Tingyun, only Bai Jie still blinked those clear eyes, and didn't think about the things that didn't matter to her at all.

Fifth, Tingyun looked around, but he didn't see any figures. Counting the days, today is the penultimate day of August, and the day after tomorrow should be the time for the opening of Xiaoxiang Academy, but how does this not look like the scene when the top ten colleges of higher learning in the Yanhua Empire open.

Behind him was the perennial flowing Xiangjiang River, he walked in front of the boulder and found that the boulder was three zhang long and one zhang high. The stone surface is very smooth, except for the four big characters that are crooked and oblique like children's writing, there are fine cracks around them, but it is also a complete big stone.

Just as he was about to touch the lines of the handwriting with his hand, an abrupt snoring startled him.

He hurriedly went around to the back of the boulder with Shi Fu, looked up following the sound of snoring, and saw that at the top of the back of the boulder, there was a groove that was not big or small enough to accommodate people. At this time, in the groove, there was a figure about the same height as Bai Jie, and the snoring came from his mouth.

Just as the fifth Tingyun was thinking about whether to disturb the child's sleep, the man who seemed to be sleeping soundly on the stone stretched out his right hand and pointed in a direction, he didn't even bother to open his eyes, and said in a deep voice that made people feel very mature: "The academy is over there, if I wake up and you are still here, I will kill someone." ”

After the five short figures and mature voices said this, the arm snapped and landed on the stone, and then the snoring floated out again.

What made the fifth Tingyun feel incredible were the three sentences that this person understated. These three sentences are very light and low, and if there are no last four words, it is probably a simple guide. But the last four words, like a woman in a bright red cheongsam, were breaking into the ears of the fifth Tingyun with flowers, which impressed him, but he didn't dare to play with it. Because he was lying on a rock, he couldn't see the person's face in the fifth hearing, so he naturally couldn't tell whether the person was a child like a body or an adult like a voice. He tried to perceive it, trying to see if the person was a cultivator, but found that his perception could not detect the person's body at all.

The man was like the huge rock beneath him, not only could he not perceive the power, but he also seemed to be unable to detect half of his anger.

"Master. The fifth heard Yun scream, but found that Shi Fu was staring at the huge rock in front of him. He had never seen Shi Fu show such a serious expression, so he didn't dare to disturb for a while.

He stared at Shi Fu, and Shi Fu stared at the boulder.

Bai Jie stared at the white crane, and the white crane also stared at the boulder.

After the four of them stood silently for a while, Shi Fu retracted his gaze and said, "Let's go, go to your academy first and see if you can report in advance." If not, you have to find an inn to live in. ”

"Master, he ......" The fifth Tingyun pointed to the strange man who was snoring incessantly on the rock, and wanted to ask the master. But before he could ask, he was blocked back by Shi Fu as if jokingly: "Let's go, if people wake up, maybe they will chop a few of us and eat it." ”

Fifth Tingyun scratched his head, not knowing what he meant, but he still took Bai Jie and Bai He to chase after Shifu and walked in the direction indicated by the strange man.

On the boulder, the five-short figure of the strange man turned over, revealing his porcelain doll-like face.

......

......

The three of them walked about five or six miles before they gradually heard human voices.

As the number of pedestrians and houses gradually increased, they slowly came from the quiet riverside to the noisy city. After wandering around the streets and finding an inn to live in, Bai Jie followed the fifth Tingyun out of the inn and wandered around the city.

Shi Fu fell asleep in the inn room, as if he would never finish sleeping.

This city is also quite lively, although it is not as good as Shenjing, but it should be regarded as a grade with Jiaqing City. At least for half a day, the fifth hearing cloud has not even completed one-fifth of the city. You must know that with his speed, the Fifth City will be completed by him in just one hour. Jiaqing City is bigger, and it took him two days to walk around.

And Shenjing City, he hasn't gone to visit yet. But according to his own estimates, it will take him half a day to ride the white crane from Qinglongmen to Baihumen, so if you insist on comparison, Shenjing City is estimated to be seven or eight Jiaqing City big. If you do such a simple calculation, this city called Xiaoxiang City is estimated to be one-eighth of Shenjing City. Like Jiaqing City, it is named after the colleges and universities in the city.

The fifth listened to the clouds in front, Bai Jie followed, the two walked for a long time, and finally came to Xiaoxiang Academy in the north of the city. It can be regarded as seeing the main entrance of the academy, and the fifth Tingyun breathed a sigh of relief, if the stone that he saw in the morning with the unsightly "Xiaoxiang Academy" written on it was really the courtyard gate, he would more or less mistakenly think that he had entered a certain pheasant college......

On the two stout white marble pillars, the patterns are finely carved. There are some textures on those patterns that are difficult for ordinary people to understand, except for the fact that Shi Fu will sigh twice when he looks at those patterns, the fifth Tingyun and Bai Jie don't have that eyesight. At the top of the carved jade pillar is a lying rock polished into the shape of a stele, the lying rock presents the shape of a cloud, and the belly of the rock has four simple big characters of "Xiaoxiang College", which has a meaning that is completely different from the crooked four words on the big stone by the river. Even the fifth Tingyun, a layman who didn't understand calligraphy at all, immediately felt a kind of momentum when he saw these four words, which was the majesty of the eight-hundred-mile cave!

Xiaoxiang College is worthy of being the first college in Liangxiang Province, whether it is calligraphy or martial arts, you can find an excellent interpretation of Xiaoxiang culture. This kind of thing, no matter how hard other colleges and universities try, they can't learn it, even if it's Dixing College and Jinghua College, they still can't learn it!

This is the root of Dongting Lake.

This is the root of Liangxiang Province.

This is the root of Xiaoxiang College!
