Chapter 8: Lunan Temple
In the early morning, the warm sun shone down, shining on the entire Lunan City, like a girl out of the bath, covered with a faint flush.
Although the scale cannot be compared with those large cities, Lunan City at this time also has a unique flavor.
At this time, there were already many people coming and going on the street, and the children who were rarely seen in ordinary times appeared, and they all walked in one direction.
These children all looked to be no more than twelve or thirteen years old, and they all looked excited and proud, for they were about to enter the Lunan Courtyard today.
Lunan Academy, located in the southeast corner of Lunan City, is the only college in Lunan City, and it is also the second place within Lunan City that is not under the jurisdiction of the City Lord's Mansion, the first is naturally Fufu.
The people who can be qualified to enter and leave the Lunan Academy are all cultivators, and today is the day when the Lunan Academy recruits students once a year, and all the teenagers who have reached the Wuxuan Realm and are over ten years old and less than fourteen years old can enter the Lunan Academy for five years of cultivation.
And such academies existed in every city of the Gar Empire.
The history of the Gal Empire is only about a hundred years, and it is far inferior to the surrounding empires in terms of heritage, and it also leads the royal family to vigorously advocate the military, and the military power not only comes from strong young men, but also from cultivators.
Powerful cultivators can defeat ten thousand, and they can also take the head of the enemy generals among the three armies, and whether an empire is strong militarily depends mainly on the number of cultivators and whether there are powerful people.
It is precisely because the cultivators have a great influence on a country that the royal family will transfer a large amount of money to the academy every year, and Lunan Academy is one of them.
And in the Fu Mansion, Fu Ran had already gotten up to practice the stick, which was his daily compulsory course, and when the practice was completed, the scorching sun was already high, listening to the boiling sound from outside the house, he chuckled lightly and went out of the house.
When he appeared on the street, even if he had already guessed it, Fu Ran was still frightened by this number of people, only to see people coming and going on the street, most of them turned out to be teenagers and girls, and there were subtle fluctuations in the mystical power on their bodies, it was obvious that these people were the same as his goal.
Fu Ran's appearance naturally attracted the attention of countless people, and one after another respectful eyes gathered on him.
"Fu Ran Gongzi!"
"Son, this is the Fu Ran Gongzi I often mention to you, you must study hard and aim to become an imperial marshal, do you know?"
"Fu Ran Gongzi, let's go to Lunan Courtyard first, my son became a martial artist a few days ago, and he will be practicing in Lunan Academy in the next five years, Fu Ran Gongzi also has to work hard, in a year or two, Gongzi will definitely enter Lunan Academy!"
Voices appeared, although he respected Fu Ran very much, but he was not too restrained in his speech, after all, Fu Ran grew up in the city since he was a child, and he did not play the role of a big young master, coupled with the difference in his identity, he also had an extremely good relationship with many people in the city.
Fu Ran chuckled, looked at the crowd of people in front of him, and nodded slightly, although there are many masters in the city, but even these people will send their children to Lunan Academy, after all, in teaching, Lunan Academy is more experienced.
Although the geographical scope of Lunan City is not very wide, according to Fu Ran's prediction, I am afraid that today's Lunan Academy will admit thousands of new students, and counting those old students, it is extremely normal to have tens of thousands of students.
But these things didn't have much to do with him Fu Ran, he chuckled lightly and walked with the crowd.
As time passed, Fu Ran got closer and closer to Lunan Courtyard, and the noisy sound became more and more harsh, when he appeared in front of Lunan Courtyard, even if he had some guesses, Fu Ran couldn't help but smack his tongue.
The sight swept over all the heads, most of them were elders with children to sign up, and some came alone like Fu Ran.
The three middle-aged people in charge of recruiting students are only in their thirties, but the fluctuations emanating from their bodies are not weak, but what kind of strength is it, Fu Ran can't sense it, after all, he is only in the Martial Xuan Realm.
Looking away from the three middle-aged people, Fu Ran was not in a hurry to sign up, although he had lived in Lunan City since he was a child, but the number of times he came to Lunan Courtyard was still only a handful, and he was not very familiar with the surrounding environment.
Tens of thousands of people gathered on the huge square at this time, the ground is paved with stones of several zhang size, there is a gate behind the square, the height is more than ten zhang, the width also reaches several zhang, and there are three vigorous and powerful big characters above the gate.
"Lunan Temple!"
Fu Ran whispered these three big words, and an inexplicable meaning appeared in his heart, these three words came from the hand of his great-grandfather Fu Luo.
And that was already seventy or eighty years, it is said that Fu Luo at that time did not sit on the position of marshal for a long time, and did not have much prestige in the empire, but it was different for Lunan City, from the establishment of the Gar Empire, the first marshal in Lunan City, Fu Luo, naturally had great prestige here, and was invited by the president of Lunan Academy at that time to write this plaque.
Since then, this plaque has been hanging here, through the wind and sun, through the vicissitudes of life, Fu Luo has long since died, this plaque is also damaged, but it is the pride of Lunan Academy.
Fu Luo, Rong Ma has fought countless battles all his life, a spear has changed the news of several surrounding countries, he became an imperial marshal at the age of thirty, abdicated at the age of fifty-five, and became one of the emperor's leaders.
At the age of one hundred and five, his children and grandchildren died on the battlefield at the same time, which made the old man who was already in his last years grief-stricken, but this grief was pressed in his heart, and he once again put on his armor and went into battle as the marshal in charge of the three armies for the second time, and finally spilled blood at the border pass.
One year, Fu Luo served as a marshal for the second time for only one year, but in this year, he never lost a single defeat, even in a battle of death, he never took a step back, and never let the enemy exceed half a step.
On the night of Fu Luo's death, the whole country mourned, and the three armies wept
Fourteen years later, the grief of that night is still unforgettable, and when tens of thousands of people in the square looked at the plaque, they seemed to be able to see a proud figure holding a spear and standing at the forefront of the three armies
"Alas"
Sighing lightly, Fu Ran didn't understand why his great-grandfather, great-grandfather, grandfather, and father would spare blood on the battlefield for the sake of this weak empire, but as he grew older, he gradually understood a little, perhaps to protect the family behind him.
"I'm sorry, maybe it will disappoint you, but I'm not interested in the marshal, really not, I want to see the outside world, to see the world you don't see"
Fu Ran shook his head, presumably the seniors must have hoped that he would inherit the ancestral will and become the head of the three armies of the Gar Empire, and most of the entire Lunan City also expected the same, but he didn't want to stick to this square inch.
"Huh, isn't this Young Master Fu Ran, why did you come to Lunan Courtyard? This Young Master Fu Ran, you are actually in the Martial Xuan Realm?"
A man led his own child, and at first sighed lightly, but when he sensed Fu Ran's strength, his face was shocked.
You must know that Fu Ran is only ten years old now, and he has actually reached the strength of the Martial Xuan Realm, although it is the weakest realm of a cultivator, but when this kind of thing happens to a ten-year-old child, it still shocks this person.
Awakened by the man's words, Fu Ran put aside his thoughts, looked back at the former, felt a little familiar, nodded lightly, his face did not change much, in the eyes of others, what a terrifying talent the ten-year-old Wu Xuanjing is, but he knows that the little princess who was born in the same year, month and day now has the strength of the Yuan Xuanjing, and the gap between him is not a star and a half.
The man's voice also attracted countless eyes, and they were all whispering at the moment, just now they all paid attention to whether their children would enter the Lunan Academy, and they didn't find Fu Ran, but as the man's voice spread, everyone gave way to the three students in charge of the Lunan Academy.
"You don't have to, it's early, and I'm not in a hurry. ”
Fu Ran shook his head and did not step forward, although his status in Lunan City was not ordinary, but he didn't want to have any privileges because of this unusual, relatively speaking, he preferred to keep a low profile.
At this moment, a discordant voice rang out
"I also think so, you should do what you have to do, although you already have the strength of the Martial Xuan Realm, but whether you can pass the assessment of the Lunan Academy is still unknown, so it is not too embarrassing to stay in the end. ”
