Chapter 17: The Dean
The villagers of Xintao Village live at sunrise and rest at sunset. Every year, the most joyful time in the whole village is probably the time when the peach blossom forest in the north of the village blooms, picking some peach petals, making wine for self-drinking, and the ordinary life of the villagers is still happy.
Just as Ah Qing and the four of them left Xintao Village, three more people walked into the village. The three of them went door to door to ask if there was anything unusual in the village in recent days, and their attitudes were very gentle and humble, but the faces of the three were extremely white, sickly pale, and their pupils were also strange gray. In the end, the three of them came to the peach blossom forest in the north of the village, where the peach blossoms were full of branches.
The leader frowned, sensing the spiritual power in the peach forest: "It's too late, this spirit clan has already left." ”
Another voice was hoarse: "Where can she go?"
The last person looked in the direction of Longhu City, and his face was cloudy: "It should be taken away by someone from the Ordinary Academy." ”
The hoarse voice continued: "Then let's go and get it back?" Your Excellency has specifically explained that you must bring this spirit clan back to the organization. If we don't complete the mission, we will all die. In the words, the fear could not be concealed.
The leader slammed his fist into the peach tree at his side, and the main trunk of the peach tree snapped. "Damn, how could we snatch that academy back!"
"How about I take you?" A voice suddenly sounded, and a sloppy middle-aged man walked out of the peach forest, dressed in gray linen, holding a yellow gourd in his hand, which was being poured into his mouth at this time, and an iron sword without fancy in his other hand was dragged on the ground to leave a deep and shallow mark, which was very sharp.
The bodies of the three of them were trembling, because their spiritual level cultivation could not perceive the existence of the person in front of them at all, that is......
The middle-aged man swallowed the throat-burning liquor, his cloudy eyes were full of murderous intent at this time, and he stared at the three men and said coldly: "You are a hidden spirit organization that is indescribable every day, and you should have died three thousand years ago. In the past eight years, in order to find your headquarters, I have been tracking you all the time, but I didn't expect you to come here. ”
The man seemed to have a monstrous hatred for this organization, and gritted his teeth.
The three of them were sweating like rain, they couldn't mobilize their spiritual power at all, and in the suppression of this person's breath, they had no desire to resist at all. Who is this man?
The middle-aged man sighed and looked in the direction of Longhu City: Has it been eight years?
The middle-aged man didn't have the next words, the simple iron sword in his hand disappeared in an instant, and a blood line sprayed in the air at the necks of the three people, falling red and ruthless, shattered bones, buried deep underground, and became the nutrients of the peach forest, spring mud.
......
......
A-Qing has been very sad these days.
For him, there is not much difference between sleeping on the floor every night and sleeping in bed, but this "Mu Xian'er", who has just become the little junior sister in the backyard of the ordinary academy, really gives him a headache. She is the culprit of Ah Qing's bunk, on the first night of her arrival, she knocked on Ah Qing's door in the middle of the night, and her hazy figure in her thin pajamas was wonderful, holding the quilt with a pitiful expression, saying that she couldn't sleep, was afraid, and wanted to sleep with Ah Qing. Of course, Ah Qing decisively refused, men and women are not kissed, the past few days in Xintao Village have already touched Ah Qing's bottom line, if they return to the academy and the two still live in the same room, it will be difficult to distinguish between them.
Mu Xian'er stuck out her tongue, held the quilt and deftly slipped past Ah Qing's side, went to Ah Qing's bed and threw his quilt on the table next to him, and then went to bed to cover her head, ignoring him no matter what Ah Qing said.
In desperation, Aqing could only pack up the quilt and prepare to go to the room next door to Yuan Huanhuan, who was sleeping heavily, and just stepped out of the door to hear the sound of sobbing from the back room, the startled Aqing hurriedly went back to the house, and saw Xian'er showing her little head from the quilt, her eyes were full of tears, and she said while sobbing: "People are really afraid, the breath of the dragon king feels too obvious on the mountain, and it will only feel better if you are around..."
Ah Qing sighed, the dragon clan's coercion over the spirit clan came from the innate instinct, so Ah Qing could only lay the floor in his house like this.
When he ran in the early morning of the second day, Gao Yangyue, who had been waiting for him at the door of Ah Qing's house, saw that the door opened and the first to come out was a girl with pink hair, with a full expression, and she went for a morning run without looking back, and Ah Qing, who came out behind Xian'er, smiled bitterly, how to explain this? When Ah Qing ran in the morning, Ah Qing didn't explain anything, and Gao Yangyue looked the same as usual, but the tone in the words, Ah Qing always felt that something was wrong......
Of course, Aqing is not the only one who is not idle by Xian'er, Yuan Huanhuan jumps every day to accuse Xian'er of being open-mouthed, and goes to Yuan Huanhuan's house to eat and keeps talking to the parents of the Yuan family about how the girl named "Yun Ting" is a shy flower, Yuan Huanhuan's parents laughed from ear to ear, and kept picking vegetables for Xian'er, saying that it was okay to come often, and it was okay to live here, and the corners of Yuan Huanhuan's mouth twitched, and secretly said that this girl poured what kind of ecstasy soup to her father and mother. Every day, the two of them stared wide-eyed, and neither of them would admit defeat.
......
On this day, the weather was sunny, the wind was smooth, Longhu City was still prosperous, and the sound of reading aloud in the front yard of the ordinary academy was in the ears, echoing in the academy. Gao Yangyue's mental state is excellent every day, like the rising sun, full of vitality. Xian'er stretched her waist, and many of the students in the front yard who had just finished the class did not squint as they passed by, silently chanting indecent disrespect......
At this moment, almost all the people in the streets and other open places in the entire Longhu City looked up at the sky, and only then did a figure spread its wings like an eagle across the sky, and the shadow under the sunlight was fleeting on the ground. Many people rubbed their eyes, as if there was a person flying in the sky?
On the ordinary mountain, Gao Yangyue, one of the three, took the lead in squinting her eyes and looking up at the sky not far away, a figure was galloping, and the golden threads in Gao Yangyue's eyes swam. Ah Qing also felt a very strong spiritual power galloping towards him, his vision looked at that place, and found that this figure seemed to be lying down? Xian'er glanced at it and turned a blind eye, this kind of strong man's breath, the innate spirit clan can sense whether it is aimed at himself, since there is no malice, then the sky has fallen and there is a high top.
It seems to be a figure galloping from the ordinary mountain in a lying position, and the closer Ah Qing gets, the more he can feel the feeling of "sharpness", yes, it is a sharp spiritual power, like a sharp sword that has just opened, like a mang. This kind of feeling, among all the people that Ah Qing has met, only Senior Brother Bu's spiritual power will be so sharp, and the sharpness of the two is different. The former is as majestic as a big opening and closing, "I have a sword to open the sky!" and the latter is sharp, giving people an incomparably heavy sense of disobedience.
At the student assembly half a year ago, the snow was falling and the snow was covered in snow, and Longhu and Pingfan Mountain were extremely enchanting between heaven and earth. Senior Brother Bu climbed the mountain with his sword on his back, without saying a word, and Ah Qing, who accompanied him, wanted to say something but didn't know what to say, at this time, a calloused palm gently patted his shoulder, and the young man with the sword said slowly: "The little junior brother is talented, if he learns swords, he will definitely be more promising than the senior brother." The voice was low and magnetic, this was the first sentence that Bu Xingchen and Ah Qing said in the past two years......
At this time, everyone in the academy could clearly see the middle-aged man flying over, lying on top of a long sword with his legs crossed, one hand pillowing behind his head, and the other hand lying limp in the air, still holding a yellow gourd in his hand. The middle-aged man was dressed in gray linen, his hair was messy, and the flying sword stayed on top of everyone's heads, and then slowly descended. When the flying sword fell a few feet from the ground, the middle-aged man got up, his eyes under the sword eyebrows were tired, his face was covered with dust, and the stubble on his face was thick.
Although as a student of the academy, they know more about the existence of spirituality than ordinary people, but what they saw with their own eyes was still shocking. You must know that the spiritual community of the human race clearly stipulates that it is forbidden for spiritual cultivation to disturb people's life with spiritual power, and if it is discovered, it will be severely punished.
The middle-aged man didn't seem to have woken up yet, he was dizzy from alcohol, staggered to Gao Yangyue, looked carefully, and sighed: "Isn't this the moon girl of Gao Yang's family? ”
Gao Yangyue smiled lightly and did not answer.
The middle-aged man looked at Xian'er again, his eyes were confused, and after a while, he instantly cleared up, pointed at Xian'er and shouted, "Spirit Clan?!, or Peach Blossom Spirit?!"
Xian'er gave him a blank look, too lazy to take care of this strange uncle.
The man pulled out the cork of the gourd bottle in his hand, poured it into his mouth fiercely, looked at Aqing who was wooden with a wine burp, glanced at it and skipped it. "This kid is still normal. ”
"No!" The middle-aged man seemed to have thought of something, and turned his head to look at Ah Qing, looking at Ah Qing's bright eyes. Ah Qing was at a loss and didn't know what was going on. The middle-aged man directly grabbed Ah Qing's wrist and felt his pulse and bones, and Ah Qing Ren put his hands on his body, mainly because he was powerless to resist...... The body was imprisoned by the person's spiritual power, and it didn't seem to be malicious.
The man grabbed Ah Qing's shoulder, the smell of alcohol came to his nose, and Ah Qing looked at the man's cloudy glasses, at a loss. The man said softly, "You are Mu Qing?"
Ah Qing nodded, and the man sighed and let go of Ah Qing:
"I'm your dean, Zhou Tong. ”
Ah Qing was stunned for a moment, the dean? is the dean who has disappeared for eight years? Although he looks sloppy on the outside, he is really not too old, and his grandmother, as the vice president of the academy, is so old. Ah Qing looked at Gao Yangyue with an inquiring look in his eyes. Gao Yangyue nodded, and Ah Qing and the three of them said together: "I've seen Lord Dean." ”
Zhou Tong looked at the thin young man who bent over and saluted, and thought: It's really like him back then! These eyes are even more like that woman! Zhou Tong glanced at the pink-haired girl, and the girl just looked up and saw the sloppy dean looking at herself, and stuck out her tongue. Zhou Tong shook his head slightly and sighed.
The news of the dean's return after eight years of disappearance spread throughout the academy, and many students returned home to tell their relatives about the immortal scene they had seen.
Zhou Tong, the head of the Ordinary Academy, who had been wandering outside for eight years, did not make any moves after returning to the academy, and everything in the academy went on as usual. It's just that one day, Ah Qing and a few people were cultivating in the open space square in the backyard, but they saw a person fleeing from the window on the top floor of the library pavilion in embarrassment.
Zhou Tong smiled obscenely, rubbed his hands and walked towards a few people. Gao Yangyue was not surprised. This ordinary academy dean who has no formal shape is the number one master of spiritual cultivation in the Great Chu Dynasty. And as a sword cultivator, the lethality and destructive power are the strongest, the sword cultivator uses the sword to cultivate the spirit, and the body of the sword is taken as a part of the body, and when the spiritual power flows in the body, it also includes the sword.
Zhou Tong has disappeared for eight years, what has Zhou Tong done in these eight years? Gao Yangyue pondered. The spiritual cultivation of the royal court of the Great Chu Dynasty did not find the whereabouts of this person. The cultivation of the second rank of the Holy Rank should only be an appearance......
Zhou Tong walked up to Ah Qing, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Ah Qing, you will follow me to practice in the future." Be prepared to endure hardships until you die!"
"In order to get you from Mu Lao, I almost didn't get out of the library pavilion, but I ran out of the window. Hey, hey, hey..."
Zhou Tong didn't have the posture of a strong man at all, at this time, it was more like a lewd man who walked into the Qinglou and looked at the Oiran girl, rubbing his hands and smiling non-stop.
Ah Qing and the others were cold all over their bodies, but Zhou Tong's current appearance was too obscene, and even Gao Yangyue took a few steps back and kept a little distance from this person.
Ah Qing didn't know why, and nodded, what should Master Yun Rou say? Speaking of which, I haven't seen Aunt Rou much in the past few days.
Zhou Tong's face straightened, and he said a little seriously: "If you stay for a while, I will take you down the mountain to travel to the Great Chu Dynasty, your physique is special, during the time of travel, I will inform you of many matters, and I have a special training method for you." Also, Xian'er, you are also with you. ”
Xian'er was stunned, dumbfounded, and pointed at her delicate nose with her finger: "Me?" and then with a bang, she jumped up, and Ah Qing on the side had slanted her eyes and the corners of her mouth twitched.
Seeing Ah Qing's expression, Xian'er crossed her waist with one hand and pointed at Ah Qing with the other and said loudly: "What's the matter! I'm tired of sleeping with this girl for a long time?!"
Ah Qing hurriedly went up to cover the mouth of this unobstructed little junior sister, Yuan Huanhuan laughed on the side, and Gao Yangyue also had a shallow smile on her face.
Gao Yangyue asked, "Will Uncle Zhou go to Yingdu?"
Zhou Tong nodded: "How can you not go to the capital of the Great Chu Dynasty, as the landlord, the girl Yue will have to entertain Uncle Zhou well, it is best to get some good wine from the palace......" Before he finished speaking, he heard a cold snort, and Master Yun Rou came slowly, with elegant and generous steps.
Zhou Tong smiled and did not continue to speak.
Yun Rou stepped forward, touched Ah Qing's head and said, "Aunt Rou's cultivation techniques and paths are not suitable for you after all, and there is nothing wrong with you worshipping Zhou Tong as a teacher." ”
The relationship between the master and the student is the relationship between the teacher and the student, and Yun Rou's words are to ask Aqing to apprentice to Zhou Tong and worship the teacher, the so-called one day as a teacher and a lifelong father is the formality and seriousness of the sermon.
Ah Qing didn't speak or move, and the atmosphere in the square was a little awkward for a while.
Zhou Tong played a round game: "It's okay, it doesn't matter if you don't apprentice." I'm just as good as that. ”
Yun Rou didn't pay attention to the dean, who had no majesty, and just whispered a word to Ah Qing.
Ah Qing's eyes were moist, and he knelt on the ground to bow to the teacher.
Zhou Tong took a sip of wine and was satisfied.
The words that stirred up waves in Ah Qing's ears were:
"Zhou Tong, it's your father Mu Ze, the best brother. ”
