Volume 1: The Boy Comes from the Mountains Chapter 143 The Clouds Move in All Directions
Just when Chenfeng and his party were walking slowly in a carriage and seeing the customs of the world, the first-class forces of the entire Eastern Soil and even the Canglan Continent were in full swing to carry out internal selection, and countless old monsters who were scattered and hidden in the world also came out of the mountain one after another, walking the world with their respective disciples and juniors, and for a time there was a surge of wind and rumors.
Some say that the demon clan is preparing to attack the human race on a large scale, and the major forces have to abandon their previous suspicions and join forces against the enemy again, some say that it is just to meet the enrollment of this session of the major colleges, and it is also said that there is a problem in the major secret realms and dangerous places, and there is an unknown enemy coming, and so on.
Morrowind and the others didn't know anything about it because of their remote location and lack of information.
Dongtu, Weiyang Prefecture, Great Zhou Palace, on the white marble square.
Hundreds of royal children knelt on the ground neatly, and no one was dissatisfied in the slightest, but they all looked excited. If people from the outside world see this, they will definitely lose their eyes, most of the royal nobles who are high up on weekdays are above the top, and they don't put anyone in their eyes, but at this moment they are all kneeling on the ground, and they don't dare to breathe.
Look carefully, these descendants of the royal family kneeling on the ground are all young boys and girls, all between eight or nine years old and fourteen or fifteen years old, the teenagers are dressed in white and snow, with gold belts around their waists, and the girls are bright and bright, and purple-clothed.
The white marble square occupies a huge area, located in the center of the entire Weiyang Prefecture and the Great Zhou Palace, and there is a nine-storey white jade pagoda in the middle of the square, which is integrated with the entire square, and there is nothing else.
Although it is the end of summer, it is the afternoon, the sun in the sky is still scorching, and the reflection of the ground, the temperature of the scene can be imagined. Beads of sweat the size of beans grew from the hairline and dripped down the cheeks through the jaw and fell to the ground, but the pampered teenagers and girls really had no one to wipe them, and the whole square could be heard of needle drops.
"Poof!"
Finally, some people couldn't bear it anymore and fainted directly, and the two guards on the periphery of the square heard the sound and walked like flying, and took the fainted person out, and the others ignored it and seemed to be accustomed to it.
"Puff!", "Puff!", "Puff!", ......
With the first, there was a second, and there was a third, as if there was a chain reaction, and the boys and girls knelt here for a long time, and finally they couldn't bear to pass out one after another.
An hour later, there were about a third fewer people in the square. Emperor Zhou Wudi, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty who was kneeling at the front, stood up and looked around, then bowed respectfully to the nine-story white marble pagoda, bent down and said loudly: "Descendant Zhou Wu Qiyu ancestor, this time the descendants of the Zhou family have passed the test of 600 and one person, please ask the ancestor to palm." β
The white marble tower was silent, the white marble square was silent, and the people present were even more silent.
"Once is not as good as once, alas!"
After a long time, there was an old sigh from the white marble pagoda, and the people present only felt that the voice seemed to be resounding from the bottom of their hearts and from their minds, and it was deafening, and the feeling of dryness and heat disappeared in an instant.
"Jinxuan gathers, and the rest of the royals. β
There was another sound without emotional fluctuations from the white jade pagoda, and the audience was shocked. Needless to say, Zhou Wu didn't need to say that even the many young people and girls who had respectfully worshiped and obeyed the ground before boldly raised their heads and looked at the white jade pagoda in the center.
In the crowd, a teenage girl kneeling behind Zhou Wu was originally cold and abnormal, but after hearing this, an incredible expression appeared on her face, and her eyes went back and forth between Bai Yuta and Zhou Wu, as if she wanted to confirm whether she had heard it wrong.
"Disperse, guard against arrogance and rashness, the world is unpredictable. β
Ignoring everyone's surprise at all, a word that had no beginning or end came from the white jade pagoda and then completely lost its voice, I don't know what it meant. The little girl behind Zhou Wu had sharp eyes, and noticed that it seemed that as this voice fell, the originally smooth and warm white jade pagoda dimmed a lot.
Everyone stepped back in turn, not daring to disobey in the slightest.
South, Jiuqing Palace, mountain cliffside.
Nangong Wan stood with her hands in her hands, looking at the bottomless abyss under her feet and the mist floating on the mountainside, she didn't know what she was thinking, and her eyes were a little dazed.
"Master!"
A little girl dressed in red came behind Nangong Wan at some point, and screamed crisply. Seeing Nangong Wan turn around, she showed a bright smile, and continued: "Senior sister said that the master has something to look for me?"
Nangong Wan smiled slightly, walked over, touched the little girl's hairy head dotingly, and pretended to be angry: "Yo!
Hearing this, the little girl hurriedly waved her hand and explained vaguely: "I didn't mean that, just ......"
Nangong Wan looked at the little girl's blushing face, and she was wearing a red dress, just like a blooming peony blooming between the white clouds and cliffs, and the doting look on her face couldn't help but become a little stronger.
"I know, you're still busy cultivating, aren't you? You cultivation maniac, cultivation is also gradual, you can't just ...... it."
Nangong Wan wanted to educate the little girl a few words about combining work and rest, but thinking of the little girl's perverted qualifications, and seeing the innocent eyes of the other party at the moment, she couldn't help but stop talking, and even regretted asking the other party to come here.
"Master?"
Seeing that Nangong Wan suddenly had no follow-up, the little girl called out tentatively, could it be that she had not worked hard in her cultivation recently and made her master angry?
Nangong Wan sighed, pulled the little girl to stand on the edge of the cliff, and then continued: "Although the southern country is good, it is only a corner of this world, although the Jiuqing Palace is good, but after a long time, it is inevitable that you will be aesthetically fatigued, and cultivators are most taboo to take the car behind closed doors, so it is still necessary to walk around and have a look." β
The little girl heard the meaning of Master's words, but she was a little uncertain, so she asked tentatively again, "Master?"
"After a while, it's time for the major colleges to recruit new students, and Master wants you to go too, so it's time for you to experience, what do you think?"
Nangong Wan said her plan, but it was not a decision, but with a consultative tone, it seemed that as long as the little girl did not agree, the matter would end here.
"This ......"
After all, she was just a child, and when she suddenly heard about such a thing, the little girl's brain couldn't turn around, and she began to think crankily again, did she do something wrong, is this the master punishing herself in disguise?
Nangong Wan cultivated in time to be advanced and well-versed in people's hearts, but she definitely didn't think of the little girl's psychological confession at this moment, just regarded it as a normal reaction of a child, and continued with a smile: "Don't worry, you should also think about this matter, anyway, there is still time, tell the master your decision in three days, okay?"
The little girl nodded ignorantly, feeling a little worried in her heart, it seems that she has really offended the master, but, what is the matter?
Northern Xinjiang, the Far North Wasteland, above the endless glaciers.
A small figure walked in the distance, facing the wind and snow but not afraid, as if walking in his own garden, walking leisurely. Not far behind him, there was a burly figure, which formed a stark contrast.
It was Chen Qingqing and Yuan Cheng, who had disappeared for a long time, who appeared in this inaccessible place for some reason.
Yuan Cheng still looked naΓ―ve, watching Chen Qingqing resolutely walk forward, hesitated again and again but couldn't help but ask: "Miss, do you want to try again, it's not that there is no chance of success." β
Chen Qingqing is still the same, wearing a dark green long dress, her head is much taller than when she left the thatched house, at this moment she has a cold face, walking in the ice and snow by herself, enjoying the unique beauty around her, and she is completely unaware of the cold around her and all kinds of powerful monsters lurking in the dark.
Hearing Yuan Cheng's question, instead of being annoyed, a sly smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, as if talking to herself, and said softly: "No, there is time." β
As if he heard the excellent joy hidden in Chen Qingqing's words, Yuan Cheng stubbornly continued to ask: "Then where are we going next?" A while ago, the eldest brother sent a message saying that the morning ......
"Convergence Academy!" Chen Qingqing squinted and smiled, and the steps under her feet became lighter and lighter, like an elf dancing in the ice and snow world, indescribably ethereal and moving.
Morrowind ......
This seems to be a name that has not been said for a long time, but once it is said, that honest smiling face will immediately appear in my mind and linger.
Xihan Prefecture, Hui College.
This is a complex of buildings full of strong historical significance, with mottled gates, towering ancient trees, and magnificent buildings that are lined with trees, all of which tell the glory of this place.
This is the Convergence Academy, the destination of Morrowind, the Convergence Academy, an ancient academy that is in decline.
Scattered academies come and go at the gate, happy or distressed, tall or thin, fresh or vulgar or petty bourgeoisie, and all beings are in a variety of ways.
On a large, inconspicuous stone beside the gate, a sleepy old man squatted.
Everyone knew that he was the gatekeeper of the Convergence Academy, and that he was silent and barely spoken. But that's all people know, who's the name, where is it from, and what are you doing guarding such a dilapidated academy?
In everyone's memory, he seemed to have been sitting there, cold and summer, spring and autumn, he was always the gray shabby robe, unkempt, not opening his eyes to see people, not speaking, just sitting there without moving.
The old man's brows suddenly furrowed slightly, and he let out a soft snort, and then became motionless again, like a stone sculpture. No one noticed this detail.
At the same time, in a place that I don't know how far away, I don't know how high, and it doesn't look like the world, eight figures suddenly appeared one after another, and the old janitor was among them.
These eight figures stood in the void, standing or sitting, and no one paid attention to anyone. Except for the old janitor of the Academy, everyone else is fairy-like, including an old man with white eyebrows and beard, a young woman with bright makeup, a middle-aged man with a majestic and angular appearance, and an old-fashioned teenage boy, and so on.
Everyone appeared in this seemingly empty place, and no one greeted each other, as if they were waiting for something.
"I can't get out, I can't come, hurry up. β
For a long time, I didn't see anyone and only heard his voice, and a slightly tired old voice came from the void.
Although the other eight people didn't say much, their expressions were a little solemn, as if the person's words with a beginning and an end hid a huge crisis and terror.
Seeing that the others did not have any objections, the voice continued: "Long story short, three things. β
"First, the progress of the loosening of the seal is getting faster and faster, more than a thousand years, and a short hundred years, there will be changes;"
"Second, each family will suspend the fight and make every effort to cultivate new people, focusing on the overall situation;"
"Third, the enrollment time of each major college will be postponed, and the specific time will be notified ten days in advance. β
When the man said the first thing, the other eight were all frowning and worried. When it came to the second thing, most of them nodded heavily, and even glanced at each other intentionally or unintentionally. When they said the third thing, they couldn't help but look at each other, and they all had a "I heard you right" expression.
Only they knew what it meant for a few people to meet, and it was usually to solve a very difficult problem, and they obviously didn't think of why such a simple thing as the postponement of the college's enrollment should be said solemnly.
Although the man was not present, he seemed to be able to see everyone's expressions, and before anyone else could ask, he continued to explain: "It's not convenient to say why, in short, there is absolutely no harm to your interests, of course, it has nothing to do with the old man and me." β
After listening to the man's explanation, it seemed that the people present trusted him, and sure enough, he no longer dwelled on this issue. The next few people focused on a few more things, and they didn't leave one by one until half an hour later.
