Chapter 14: A Dry Well

The indescribable lunch time finally passed, Jiang Chen closed his eyes and didn't chew to forcibly feed himself, picked up the eight feet that was coquettish with the female classmate at the next table to ask for fish to eat, and prepared to rush to the afternoon classroom.

The afternoon classes are all for seminarians. Since the number of students enrolled in the 13th High School is very small each year, it is said that the spiritual training courses are held at the main campus of Boyang College together with students from various branches like them. Regarding the main campus of Boyang Academy, before the start of the school year, Jiang Chen had already learned some basic information about the Immortal Cultivation Academy from the information given to him by Xia Mai.

First of all, from a national perspective, not to mention the family private school, there are three major cultivation colleges for the whole society, namely Boyang College, Zhongsan College, and Chonghua College. Among them, Jiang Chen's place is Boyang College, and the college is the only school among the three major colleges that has no threshold for entry, and there are branches all over the country, as long as the cultivators who are recognized by the school as capable enough, regardless of age, faction, and reputation, they will be issued a pre-admission notice. Boyang College has set up high school branches in seven cities across the country, respectively in Imperial City, Haihai, Sichuan Si, Shenpeng, Northern Tibet, Yunming, and Hong Kong Island, with a total of about 70 students in each session, and about 150 students in all students, and eight characteristic vocational schools, which are not mentioned for the time being.

The name of the next course is called "Ancient Charm Practical Course", which is said to be a course taught at the main campus of Boyang College. But strangely, in the introduction of the school, or in the admission notice, there is no information indicating the specific geographical location of the main campus of Boyang College. And this problem is not only Jiang Chen, but some students in the WeChat group are also confused. According to Lao Meng in the group, it is "the college commute is next door to the teahouse, just ask the shopkeeper." ”

This teahouse is the name of the school's teachers and students for the cultivators' cafeteria, and the so-called shopkeeper should be the little guy inside.

However, it seems that Jiang Chen and his party have no need to ask for directions, because Xia Mai is obviously very familiar with the route, and he and Jingyu are walking in front, and he and Jingyu silently follow behind the big guy. In fact, at the end of the day today, whether it is the school cafeteria or the place of class, Xia Mai always seems to be more familiar than the other students in the class, is this the so-called talent?

I thought that the location of the teahouse was remote enough, but I didn't expect the girl in front of me to still walk deeper into the grove, until the white courtyard wall in the distance was getting closer and closer, and then stopped.

Looking around, how do you look at it, how do you think this is a desolate and uncultivated field of the school, and the legendary majestic Boyang College does not even match the edge at all, the trees grow as they like, the branches and leaves are coiled and intertwined, and the grass under the feet is dense and tall, the soil is very soft and muddy washed by the rain, and it seems that there is a path that has been stepped out by man, at most enough for one person to pass. And at the end of the path, a dry well sprang out of the mouth of a slippery moss, and the outer wall was blown by the perennial wind and rain to show a layer of traces of time.

After looking around, I still thought it was incredible, after all, the afternoon class could not be taught in this grove. The trees are thick and block the daylight, and the well that emits cold air always makes people feel like a woman with long hair and nails crawling out of it the next moment......

These thoughts were just a matter of an instant, but when he looked back, Jiang Chen found that Xia Wheat was gone.

It was as if it had disappeared out of thin air, and one moment the girl's ponytail was still dangling in front of her, and the next moment there was no shadow at all. He looked at Jingyu suspiciously, and the other party seemed to know what he meant, and pointed to the dry well in front of him.

What does that mean?

Jiang Chen was puzzled, and was about to ask, but then Jing Yu's movements answered all the questions in his heartβ€”he grabbed the edge of the well and jumped in with a very neat movement.

...... Well.

At this point, he felt that he was completely numb in the face of these inexplicable things, and he didn't even bother to do the expression of surprise, so he watched the other party jump down.

After a while, I walked over and looked inside the edge of the well.

It's dark, you can't see anything, even if you take out your mobile phone and shine it with a flash, it still looks so deep that you don't even have the bottom, but if you look closely, you can indeed find that although the whole dry well is weathered, but in a circle along the well, it is probably the position where the fisherman's palm supported and jumped down just now, but it is bare and nothing, it seems to be often touched, what is that feeling called, it seems to be called pulp...... Somehow, he suddenly remembered the Moon Well in India 1,200 years ago, even if this unsightly dry well contained exquisite and gorgeous historical relics of the Ancient Celestial Dynasty, or if he jumped down to reach some unknown Lingxiu Immortal Mountain, he would not be too surprised.

My heart was horizontal, my eyes were closed, and I jumped in like a fisherman.

did not land as quickly as imagined, but as if it was gently lifted by something, the whole person slowly floated downward, this state is often encountered in dreams, but it is the first time to feel it in reality, Jiang Chen is simply curious to look around, but unfortunately, everywhere he looks, it is pitch black, and even the point of light at the mouth of the well above his head has disappeared at the end of his vision, and he has to wonder if he is blind. This lasted for about a minute, and finally a glimmer of light was seen below.

Soon, my feet touched the ground, which was an ordinary hard feeling, but fortunately, the speed of falling was really not fast, and squatting slightly on my knees eased the impact. The light was so bright that it took a few seconds to get used to the sight.

Xia Mai and Jingyu stood in front of him and waited for him, and when they saw him come down, the girl smiled: "I also said that I was worried that you wouldn't dare to jump, so I would like to go back to pick you up." ”

Jiang Chen felt a little proud in his heart, but his face was still indifferent: "Let's go." ”

To his surprise, he didn't come out of the dry well to a building or anything else with a similar name. It appears to be a huge cave, about the size of a football field, surrounded by stone walls that hang high above your head and barely see the end. From the roof of the canopy, which is not known how high, an incomparably bright and soft light shines, illuminating the entire cave as if it were daytime.

On both sides of this huge cave, there are two rows of majestic stone statues, most of which are ancient people, or broad belts, gorgeous hair and hair, or narrow sleeves and half arms...... Regardless of men, women and children, they are all described as chic, high-wind, and so on. Seeing Jiang Chen's look, Xia Mai straightened up, stood up straight, looked respectful, stretched out his hand and pointed: "They are all Daoye Immortal Masters, Xuanzu predecessors, Zhengshi Bamboo Forest, and the Seven Sages of the Two Jin Dynasty, all of which are in this list." Jiang Chen simply took a closer look, and sure enough, there was a jet-black tablet under each statue, and the inscription corresponded to the life history of the statue. Many of them are famous figures he has heard of in history books or films, and these statues are so vivid that one can feel the unbridled lives of these radiant ancestors at a glance.

At this time, even if he was a beginner who had just come into contact with cultivation, he also felt the profound heritage and respect that had been accumulated over thousands of years.

Jing Yu beside him was even more deeply focused and bowed to each of these two rows of statues.

On the opposite side, in front of them, was a stone door. The stone gate was as tall as the cave, as if it were about to reach the sky. On the two stone doors, two full-length figures are carved in one with the door - because the stone door is too high, several people can catch up with the toes of the carved figure, and when they look up, they can't see the appearance of the stone statue clearly. I saw that the stone door was tightly sealed, and in the middle was a vertical column of elegant books, with the big characters "Boyang College".

Jiang Chen stretched out his hand to touch it, and as soon as his fingers touched the cold stone carving, he suddenly heard a majestic voice coming from above his head:

"The gods are here, who is here?"

The voice was loud and slow, sounding more like a scripture recitation than a question, and he immediately withdrew his hand.

Xia Mai naturally raised his head, and said with a relaxed expression: "We are freshmen, come to class." ”

Bang bang!

With the sound of cracking and grinding, one of the stone statues on the left leaned down slowly, and because they were so tall, they bent down to almost block out all the lights coming from above. This is a general dressed in colorful battle armor, with a majestic posture, round eyes, a face like a heavy jujube, and a golden battle sword in his hand.

The moment he saw him, Jiang Chen suddenly reacted to the so-called god of the door, isn't this the so-called god of the door that people often say? There is a cloud in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas": "There is a big peach tree in Dushuo Mountain in the East China Sea, and it is 3,000 miles long, and its humble branches are called the ghost gate in the northeast, and ten thousand ghosts enter and exit. There are two gods, one is called Shen Tu and the other is Yu Lei, who is the one who leads the ghosts to harm others. "That's it!

But to be honest, the door god or something, he went to his grandmother's house when he was a child, and he could often see their New Year's paintings in the small courtyard of the rural farmhouse, but it was so huge and majestic, and he could say that he would move, and it was the first time he had seen it!
