As Zheng Yan left, the room fell silent for a while, Wen Zhang rubbed the teacup carved by white stone and smiled gently, and after a while, Yang Yuanhua came back to his senses and shook his head helplessly when he saw his friend,

"Don't you blame me for bringing back a child of the royal family?", Wen Zhang said with a smile,

Yang Yuanhua sighed lightly and shook his head and said, "What does it have to do with the royal family? What's more, it's just my personal matter, why should I involve unrelated people, don't test me, I still have this kind of heart." ... I have been painting the ground here for more than 40 years, and I don't know much about the things outside than you, looking at the weather, this kid is indeed a royal family, but the identity is the prince or the prince can't be determined, don't you notice if there is an entourage around him?",

Wen Zhang shook his head, "When I was in Donghua Valley, I deliberately leaked murderous energy, and I didn't find any movement around, maybe there are people who know me nearby, hey, speaking of which, the so-called 'big demon' is actually only the level of your human race's authentic high-level cultivators, and they can't look down on it, I don't know when they will be able to reach the level of the Heavenly Demon?

Yang Yuanhua pointed to his friend's heart and said with a smile, "Practicing for 5,000 years is still a stone heart, or I don't know how to change, if you change someone, whether it is a human or a demon, you must change your thinking or change your form if you don't get anything for 500 years, only you are the same, they all say that the spirit will always leave defects because they are rejected by the Heavenly Dao, and your flaws are your heart, and the key is the most imperceptible, it seems that the Heavenly Dao is really teasing you",

Wen Zhang looked at his heart and said softly, "Yes, I have always thought that the heart of the Tao should be firm, the wise man changes with the times, the wise man makes it with things, the way of heaven is impermanent, the heart of the Tao keeps a cultivation, the truth is true, but this heart is extremely repulsive, the way of heaven, the way of heaven, alas, it is really a spring breeze and rain moisturizing things without sound",

Yang Yuanhua no longer sarcastically ridicules his friends, indeed, the truth is understood, whether you can do it or not is another matter, people's hearts are the most intriguing, it seems to be messy and follows some truths, it seems to be reasonable and full of all kinds of unpredictable deduction possibilities, it depends on how wide you can put your horizons,

"Those guys in the north have long regarded you as a thorn in their side, this academy is too much of an eyesore for them, just cares about the feelings of those people, and until now it is only a verbal reproach and threat to you, and now you are so tolerant and friendly to the children of the Zheng family, are you not afraid that they will be annoyed and angry?",

"Whether it is the way of heaven or the avenue in the world, when we pick it up, it will be embodied into something in our hearts, or a mountain, a water, a tree, a text, but a thousand people will have 10,000 understandings when they look at a mountain, but a thousand people can produce up to 10 understandings when they look at a text, which is the meaning of inheritance, which is more accurate; Both humans and demons are accustomed to denying and hating the whole mountain because a stone hurts him, are we limiting our horizons or is the way of heaven deliberately arranging it this way? Just like my stone heart,

Yang Yuanhua nodded and said, "From the perspective of survival, if a mountain can support ten tigers, there will never be twenty or even thirty tigers, and there are only a few people with vision and courage after all, so the world is divided into three, six, nine, etc., this is an objective fact, and the arrangement of heaven and heaven."

Wen Zhang smiled and said, "So you opposed the abolition of slaves back then?",

Yang Yuanhua shook his head and said, "I'm not against the abolition of slavery, I'm afraid that they will confuse the world, and some contradictions should be put on the table to break down, don't talk about these, if those people come over again to criticize you, how will you deal with it? The four of us can't beat a single demon together."

Wen Zhang looked at the door and muttered, "They are just trying to make no sense of the academy in the end, what they really want to think about is a few children here."

Yang Yuanhua thought for a moment, his eyes widened, he seemed to be a little entangled, and said softly, "You want Zheng Yan to take them out of here?"

Wen Zhang nodded and said, "Just try it to see if they are willing to each other, I just think that the light on Zheng Yan's body is very reliable, and it can make the gods and ghosts clear, I don't dare to calculate carefully."

The next day, Zheng Yan woke up to the sound of Lang Lang's book, and the sunlight had already shone into the house, and then he realized that he had overslept, and he had overslept in a strange place! I couldn't help but blame myself a little, but I didn't really care about it completely, there was water in the basin in the house, I washed my face and poured it out under the flowers and trees in the yard, and then I seriously looked at the whole yard, and I didn't have time to observe it in the darkness last night, this mistake is no less than oversleeping.

I remember that this is the backyard, the courtyard is four-fold, not big, except for one side is the corridor, and there are four rooms on each of the remaining three sides, which I think is where the students of the academy live, and they are probably all studying in front of them at this time. Thirteen students, two gentlemen, two husbands, a gardener and carpenter, mason, etc., among the eighteen people, it is now clear that Yang Yuanhua, the deputy mountain master, is a human being, and how many others are there? Anyway, the thirteen students are all spirits, and the more Zheng Yan thinks about it, the more interesting he feels.

Put the basin back in the house and come out, followed the sound of reading to the front yard where I was last night, the main room is indeed the place where the two mountain owners rest, the rest of the east is the library, the west is the school, there are a few figures in the library are moving books, probably to dry, a few people in the school are reading loudly, although there are few people but the momentum is enough.

Zheng Yan hadn't heard the sound of reading for a long time, so he was unconsciously a little addicted, and someone seemed to call himself in a trance, and turned around to see that it was a beautiful and moving girl, well, except for the fact that the body development was a little backward, there was no girl at all,

"Your surname is Zheng?", the girl asked very unceremoniously,

Zheng Yan nodded honestly,

"Did you hear that? This guy is really surnamed Zheng", the girl immediately turned around and shouted loudly to a few people who were drying books, her voice was as crisp as a valley spirit, Zheng Yan didn't even think that the girl was out of character at all.

A young man who was a little old and dignified was a little helpless, walked over and first glared at the girl and asked her to move the book, and then made an apology to Zheng Yan, Zheng Yan was naturally not so hypocritical, and returned the salute, and the two exchanged their names, it turned out that the young man's name was Pei Langru, and it was the student who had studied with him for more than 200 years that Wen Zhang said, Zheng Yan wanted to ask him what his body was, but it was too rude to do so, after all, it was the first time they met.

The young man learned that Zheng Yan hadn't eaten breakfast yet, so he took him to the back kitchen, because the academy didn't open at noon, which was a bit strange, it stands to reason that reading and practicing is a very energy-consuming thing, and three meals a day must be eaten well This is the cognition of most people, does the spirit have a special method of cultivating essence?

Zheng Yan asked out curiously, the young man named Pei Langru smiled and explained that everyone went out to forage for food by themselves, Zheng Yan first thought that the people in the village raised hunting dogs, and they only fed one meal a day, and the rest were hunting outside, the old people's statement was to keep the hunting dogs in the best condition, is this to let these students maintain some wildness, not to be educated by human books and lose their predatory ability? Although thinking so, Zheng Yan did not dare to say it.

When I arrived in the back kitchen, I saw two guys who were in charge of the diet of the entire academy, a handsome middle-aged man, it may be a little strange to say this, but this middle-aged man is indeed very delicate, at least the maintenance is very good, and Zheng Yan is also sure that this guy is a human being, or has cultivation in the body, how tall is not clear, at least higher than himself, from the perspective of bearing, it seems to be from a wealthy family, and the atmosphere is calm;

Under Pei Langru's introduction, Zheng Yan learned that the middle-aged man's name was Wu Guan, and his apprentice's name was Cangshan, and he felt strange when he thought that the people in the entire academy had a name and surname, Zheng Yan, because the surname "Cang" was rare even in the human realm, and the key was that their ancestors were very unusual, and they could be placed alongside the eight great ancestors.

Speaking of the Cang family, legend has it that the ancestor of the Cang family was born with a double pupil, Zheng Yan has seen it in some secret files, this so-called double pupil is a little different from some of the double pupils that appeared in history, and the peculiarity is that the shape and color of the pupils are different.

The color of the pupils of ordinary people is either black, or gradually turns brown in the process of growing up, Zheng Yan has seen people who have cultivated the pupils into different colors such as gold, cyan, and red through practice, and there are also people who have carved runes on the eyeballs of the pupils to make the eyes have some special abilities, Zheng Yan has seen people who have carved thunder patterns and cloud patterns. After all, these are all artificially created by the day after tomorrow, but the creation of heaven and earth is wonderful, and there will always be some unreasonable existences.

After the ancestor of the Cang clan, the Cang clan was divided into two branches for some reason, one is the appearance of a normal human being, and the other eye is particularly special, according to the secret file, they not only have special eyes, but also have a special physical endowment, how is it special There is no record in the secret file, thinking of this, Zheng Yan first glanced at Cangshan's eyes, sure enough, it was blue, and looked at his body again, well, it was very strong, the skin was bronzed, and it seemed to be very tough.

When Zheng Yan quietly observed Cangshan, Wu Guan served a large plate of roast mutton, which tasted very good, Zheng Yan couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and after thanking him, he ate happily, he slept very well last night, it was rare to relax everywhere in his body, and the demand for food also increased a lot.

Zheng Yan learned about some of the logistics support of the academy, it turned out that they did not breed or farm, and they usually sold Baipi aragonite to the Zheng clan in exchange for daily use and some books and pen, ink, paper, inkstone and other things, to be honest, if the clan really wanted to do business, it would definitely have made a lot of money at this time.

After eating, watching the master and apprentice clean up the kitchen, Zheng Yan really wanted to get a piece of Baipi aragonite now and continue to go north, after all, the time is really not sufficient, but the mouth of the eater is short and the hand of the other is short, and he was a little embarrassed to say goodbye for a while, so he chatted with a few people on the steps of the kitchen about the outside world now. Including Pei Langru, they are actually living a secluded life here, and most of their understanding of the outside world is through the books brought by the Zheng family, and many readers have a lot of curiosity and desire for knowledge, so before I know it, the sun has risen, and I don't know how long it took for an iron plate to come from the front, and it should be time to rest at noon.

There was laughter and laughter from the other side of the corridor, and after a while, a group of young people in different clothes and extraordinary clothes turned out, all of whom had already been transformed, and Zheng Yan still thought that he could see a few spirits that were not fully transformed.

It's the girl in front of the opening again, Liu Mei raised and walked quickly to Zheng Yan, apricot eyes were wide open and wanted to say something, and suddenly looked down and saw that the two were only separated by a fist, and seemed to realize that men and women were on guard, and they seemed to be frightened and had to jump back and fold their arms on their chests, their faces were full of vigilant naïve appearance, which looked both laughable and easy to make people feel close, but Zheng Yan was not interested in the rude and willful woman, and couldn't help but sarcastically say, "If it's bigger, maybe it really happened just now,

The girl was still a little incomprehensible for a while, and a delicate woman walked behind her, her figure was really romantic, and she had a fight with Shuangyun Xingwei, and said with a smile, "Huaiyu, this son said that you have a flat chest."

Zheng Yan also dared to act, nodded with a smile and admitted it, the girl's face was full of grief and indignation, and she began to look around for something to fight with Zheng Yan.

"Well, the occasional innocuous joke is the easiest way to draw the distance between strangers, don't just think from your own point of view",

A rather majestic voice came from behind everyone, Zheng Yan heard that it was Wen Zhang, but in this way, almost everyone looked at Zheng Yan as if he was seducing a woman from a good family in a drama novel, Zheng Yan wanted to say that I was just mocking her, and I was stating the facts, but I couldn't say it anyway.

Looking at the girl who had stopped looking for someone, she was still a little shy, is this not being treated well on weekdays? Zheng Yan hurriedly stopped thinking nonsense.

Wen Zhang walked over the crowd to Zheng Yan and said with a smile, "I am used to neglecting discipline on weekdays, which makes the guests smile",

Zheng Yan smiled reluctantly and said sincerely, "Mr. has promoted the juniors, this is to take everyone out... Foraging?",

Wen Zhang nodded, beckoned the students and Wu Guan to receive things, and then remembered something, and said with a smile, "The Zheng clan has always attached great importance to the survival training of the children in the clan, and I saw it with my own eyes in Donghua Valley last night, I wonder if I can give them some advice this time?"

Zheng Yan looked strange when he heard this, and said with a reluctant smile, "They should be teachers in this regard, right?

Wen Zhang smiled and raised his hand to stop Zheng Yan's words, "They were born and raised here, and their survival is naturally like a fish in water, but what if the environment is changed? I know that what the Zheng clan teaches is more universally applicable, and it is also explored by countless generations for almost all the mistakes that have occurred, it can be said that the most correct experience summary, oh, is it that the time for this trial is very tight? That is why I am abrupt, so let's take this piece of Baipi aragonite, and help me send the two children to Shengyang Mountain."

Zheng Yan didn't immediately take the extremely brilliant stone in the other party's hand, but asked strangely, "Didn't you say that there was only one noon foraging time?"

Wen Zhang vaguely seemed to be a little ashamed, and explained softly, "There are two children in Shengyang Mountain, this New Year's holiday, I think it is just right for you to take it to hone it, and it is much more convenient to have them with you, according to the strength division method of your human race, they are all real authentic cultivation",

Zheng Yan was greatly moved, and he ate other people's houses, and took other people's things, and he couldn't allow himself to refuse such a trivial matter, not to mention that it was indeed more beneficial to himself, so he agreed.

Wen Zhang was very happy, beckoned to the side of the warehouse, and soon two people came over, a man and a woman, the man is difficult to describe, handsome with a little obedient, it seems to be a little bookish and arrogant, his eyes are half-squinted, the corners of his mouth are slightly slanted, his body is tall and well-proportioned, this physique is somewhat similar to Zheng Yan's;

In fact, Zheng Yan was a little concerned at the beginning, she really couldn't ignore herself, she was very beautiful, although she looked young, eighteen or nineteen years old, her face was beautiful, but it was not the kind of delicate beauty that was common to spirits, in fact, there were still some deficiencies when you looked closely, but the more this happened, the easier it was for people to ignore the shortcomings, and instead savor them, and find some suitable charm from them. The woman was a little arrogant, solemn, and vibrant.

"Jingyang, Takihun, this is Zheng Yan, this time the three of you will go up to Yangshan together, and you have to take care of each other and learn from each other, understand?", Wen Zhang introduced the three of them to each other, but Zheng Yan's face had changed, and the three of them also realized it for the first time, and they couldn't help but look at it,

Zheng Yan looked at the woman in front of him and asked hesitantly, "Dugu Taki-hyun?"

As soon as the words fell, the woman's momentum suddenly rose sharply, and at the same time she took a step back, making a block with one hand and forming a claw with five fingers with the other, and the tips of her fingers faintly had a cold light, and she was full of vigilance for a while, and the eyes of the man named Jingyang also turned cold,

Glancing at Wen Zhang's puzzled expression, Zheng Yan reluctantly smiled and said, "It seems that I guessed correctly, don't get me wrong, I know Feng Yi very well, I was bullied by her when I was a child, and I remembered it when I heard her mention this name."

Wen Zhang smiled and nodded, "No wonder, I also remembered that Lord Fengyi has indeed been living on Yiwang Mountain",

With Wen Zhang easing the atmosphere, or being a guarantor, the two young people on the other side finally relaxed, but their vigilance against Zheng Yan was obviously not completely eliminated, and Zheng Yan was also in a complicated mood, and the situation seemed to have changed somewhat, and why didn't Lu Yinji react to the divine thought that Lu Yinji put on him? It stands to reason that it should be triggered when they meet, do they need Dugu Taki's qi? Or is it because someone else is present? Why are they so vigilant?

At this point, Zheng Yan didn't ask any questions when he saw that there were many people, so he and the two of them set off to the mountains in the north, but the doubts in his heart became stronger and stronger.
