Chapter Twenty-Seven: Nine Star Terrace

An Zheng stood at the door of the Apocalypse Martial Academy with Xiao Qidao in his arms, watching the iron flow fire surround the Illusory World Academy. An Zheng didn't know what the story was between Aunt Ye and Mu Changyan, but the moment Aunt Ye stuffed Xiao Qidao into An Zheng's arms and rushed out, he knew that this story should be the most moving kind in the world, called life and death.

But what happened next made An Zheng a little surprised. Mu Changyan walked out of the Phantom World Academy with a calm face, and Aunt Ye followed him. The general led by Tie Liuhuo jumped down from his war horse, walked to Mu Changyan and leaned over slightly, and then smiled: "I thought you were going to hide, I searched all over the Sixteen Kingdoms of Youyan, who would have thought that you would stoop to such a place." ”

Mu Changyan said: "Since I left Dayan, I have nothing to do with Dayan, what are you looking for me to do?"

The general said: "After all, you are surnamed Mu, after all, you are the royal family of Dayan, and Dayan needs you to go back now." ”

Mu Changyan pointed to the academy: "I belong here." ”

The general said: "Compared with Dayan, what is the calculation here? If you want to set up a academy, you can run it in Dayan Kyoto, you can run ten." Before I came, the Queen Mother said that if you don't go back, you will be reluctant. She said, let all your reluctance be gone, and you will come back. You also know that the Queen Mother has always been very decisive in doing things. ”

Mu Changyan pondered, and then asked, "What if I don't leave?"

The general replied: "There is not a single grass here. ”

Mu Changyan said again: "I have never been at odds with the Queen Mother, and I was not born to her, what are you looking for me to go back to?"

The general said: "Because you are the only person who is suitable for now." ”

Mu Changyan thought for a while, and then replied, "Okay, I can go back." But I have one condition, all the students in this academy must be eligible to participate in the Autumn Ceremony of Dayan in four years. ”

The general said, "If you go back, it's not your word?"

Mu Changyan snorted: "Then I'll go back, that's right."

Mu Changyan pointed to the side of the Martial Academy: "There are a few children there, and they have a gambling contract with my academy." Every six months, the best disciples of both sides are selected to compete, and the winner is the main one, and the loser is the slave. After I am gone, this college cannot fall. To be honest, since there is this gambling contract, it cannot be invalidated. No matter who is the dean of this college in the future, he must abide by the agreement. ”

The general said: "My deputy general Qiu Changchen stays behind and becomes the dean of the Illusory World Academy, okay?"

Mu Changyan nodded: "Qiu Changchen has a calm temperament and can stay." ”

"Then let's go. ”

The general pointed to a chariot in the ranks of the Tieliu Society: "Please return to China." ”

Mu Changyan pulled Aunt Ye and got into the chariot together.

In the martial arts courtyard, Xiao Qidao's eyes were red and asked, "Brother Anzheng, doesn't my mother want me?"

An Zheng shook his head: "Qidao, you have to believe in one thing, never doubt that your mother loves you, her current choice seems to be cruel to you, but there must be some unspeakable suffering." If she doesn't take you away, there must be a reason not to take you away. And you also heard that in four years, as long as we win the disciples in the academy, we will be able to go to Dayan Kyoto, and we will be able to meet your mother at that time. ”

Xiao Qidao nodded vigorously: "I will definitely be able to!"

Iron Flowing Fire escorted the chariot away, and a lieutenant in iron armor stayed behind with thirty Iron Flowing Fire cavalry. The deputy general named Qiu Changchen first carefully looked at the Illusory World Academy, and then turned to look at the Martial Academy. When he saw the dilapidated martial arts courtyard and the few children who were alone with them, he couldn't help but smile. Then he said to himself: "Mu Changyan, who is known as the Great Yan Maniac, is actually a little interesting to be angry with a few children." ”

In the marching procession, inside the chariot. Mu Changyan clenched Aunt Ye's hand, and then transmitted the voice into his ears: "I know you are sad, but your choice is correct." Once Da Yan's people knew that Xiao Qidao was his blood and bones, then Xiao Qidao would be in danger. Now you go back with me, and I will protect you, and they will not hurt you. And they don't know the existence of Xiao Qidao, which is the safest for Xiao Qidao. Believe me, in four years, I will definitely find a way to get Koshiamichi to go to Kyoto. ”

Aunt Ye also clenched Mu Changyan's hand, her eyes were sad: "You and him, after all, can't get rid of this fate." ”

In the Apocalypse Martial Academy, An Zheng took a deep breath, and then waved his hand: "Let's clean up our courtyard first, we only have half a year to compete with the people in the academy who have been practicing for a long time, our time is limited." Anything can be lost, but no one can be ashamed. Not only to win, but to win all the time. ”

"Get to work!"

A few people got busy, and soon they were in full swing. After a while, Madman Qu came with a carriage and moved all the belongings of the Nanshan Street Medical Center. deliberately ignored Qu Liu'er with a cold face, but everyone knew that Qu Maniac still couldn't give up in the end.

Although Qu Liuer was timid, she could see that she was very happy. She and Madman Qu depend on each other for their lives, how can Madman Qu be unhappy now that Madman Qu has moved over.

When the janitor Lao Huo came back, he brought a lot of hired craftsmen and joined the ranks of repairing the Apocalypse Martial Academy. Lao Huo looked at those children and craftsmen, and couldn't help but turn around and wipe the corners of his eyes: "It's been a long time, and this martial arts courtyard has never been so lively." ”

Early the next morning, An Zheng found some introductory exercises for cultivation from the Martial Academy, these things were not precious, so they could still be found in the library of the Martial Academy. Most of the books in the library have been moved to the Phantom World Academy opposite, a huge four-story book building, and even a hundred books can't be found. However, for Du Slender Xiaoqi Dao and Qu Liu'er, who are only about to cultivate, they don't need any books that are too complicated and difficult to understand.

Outside the door of the library building, An Zheng saw a large black and inkless stone, like a huge inkstone. The middle part is recessed, like a small pool. On the recessed side, there is a circle about 20 centimeters in diameter, bright red and bright red, which contrasts sharply with the ink stone.

"I didn't expect that in this martial arts courtyard, there was actually a nine-star platform. ”

He muttered to himself, but when he turned around, he found that the old guard Huo Tong was standing there looking at him.

"You actually recognize Jiuxingtai. ”

Lao Huo was a little surprised: "The last city lord was a martial artist, so he built a martial arts academy. This city lord was a scholar, so he built a academy on the opposite side. These exiles all have the heart to be the dean. You say, is it because you can satisfy your vanity by building a martial arts academy or academy and accepting a group of children? However, when this Jiuxingtai was moved, it was damaged, and the martial artist was reckless, where did he know what it meant to handle it lightly, so he threw it into this courtyard casually, and it broke a hole, and it couldn't be used. Later, I don't know where I snatched another one, and this one was abandoned here. So after the opposite academy was built, the good Jiuxingtai was moved, and no one paid attention to this. ”

An Zheng squinted his eyes and looked at Lao Huo: "Senior, presumably you are not an ordinary person. ”

Lao Huo smiled: "Even if you have eyesight, if you really see it wrong, I'm just an ordinary person, but I also know some things about you cultivators." At the beginning, Na Wufu loved to drink the most, but I was the only one who drank as much as him, and he always liked to talk nonsense when he drank too much. He said that the fairest thing in the world is that people look the same. If you don't do it, no one knows how many pounds and taels someone has. Therefore, when the Martial Academy recruits disciples, it is inseparable from this Nine Star Platform. ”

Lao Huo said: "Wufu said that this nine-star platform can measure people's potential. As long as you put your hand on the red circle, those who can practice will light up the six-pointed star. The better the potential, the more stars will be lit. However, no one in the world can light up the nine stars, and the eight stars are geniuses. Ten years of the Martial Academy, the best disciple, lit up three stars. ”

An Zheng nodded: "That's right, it's true that very few people can light up the nine stars." ”

He looked back and beckoned to Du Slender and Skinny: "Come and try." ”

Du Slender and Thin They listened to An Zheng's explanation of Jiuxingtai, and then asked, "How do you try it if it's broken?"

An argued: "Where is it broken, Jiuxingtai is made of meteoric iron, if it is so easy to break, it will not be expensive." Although the Nine Star Terrace is cracked, the star core is still there. Wufu only knew the usefulness of the Nine Star Terrace, but he didn't know the usage of the Nine Star Terrace, so he took a piece of lower grade spirit stone and put it in the crack. ”

Du slender, took a piece of lower grade spirit stone and put it on the crack of the Nine Star Terrace. Before he put the lower grade spirit stone on it, a burst of black light lit up on the Nine Star Platform, and then in a moment, the spiritual power contained in the lower grade spirit stone was sucked clean. Then the crack on the Nine Star Platform actually slowly closed and disappeared.

Du Shou looked distressed: "Tens of thousands of taels of silver, just gone." ”

An Zheng smiled: "Stingy, I'll pay you in the future." ”

Du Shou Mian muttered as he walked: "Tens of thousands of taels of silver have repaired you, you are not allowed to cheat." No, no, the silver is my loss, you can get me a nine-star out. ”

Then he put his palm on the red circle center of the Nine Star Terrace, and the moment he put his palm there, a force was released from the Nine Star Terrace. The dust on the Nine Star Platform was swept away in an instant. There are nine six-pointed stars appearing on the nine-star platform, arranged in a straight line. The fat man's hand rested on the center of the circle, and then a little red light moved upwards, and a star lit up a moment later. Then the red light paused for a moment, and continued upward, half-lit up the second star, and there was no more power to go up.

"One and a half stars. ”

Du was a little slender: "It seems that I am indeed not suitable for cultivation, this is the worst physique." ”

Lao Huo laughed beside him: "It's not counted, it's not counted, the worst is half a star." ”

"I'll try. ”

Qu Liu'er stepped forward, she was still wearing boy's clothes at this time, but she was much more natural in front of them. In fact, once a girl is over ten years old, she can't hide it if she wants to. Those rumored women who disguise themselves as men and travel all over the country, think carefully about why they succeed. There are only two answers, one is how to level the world if the chest is uneven. One is that everyone else is pretending to be blind.

Qu Liu'er is actually not her real name, she has the surname of Qu Maniac, and Qu Maniac said that her real name is Liuxi.

Qu Liu'er's hands are beautiful, white, slender, and slender. She put her hand on the center of the circle, and the red light was much stronger than Du Thin. In just a moment, the red light rushed away three stars, and then the speed began to slow down. After slowly lighting up the fourth six-pointed star, it moved up and down. Qu Liu'er seemed to be very satisfied, and her face was a little delicate red. After all, Lao Huo said that the most brilliant disciple in the martial arts academy was only three stars.

When it was Xiao Qidao's turn, An Zheng was a little nervous. Xiao Qidao was very natural, he walked over with his little buttocks, and then opened his arms for Du Slender to hold and put his hand on the center of the circle. Then a dazzling red light appeared, and everyone present couldn't help but widen their eyes.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven

"What a genius. ”

An Zheng suddenly walked over and hugged Xiao Qidao: "Seven stars, amazing." ”

Because only Du Shou and An Zheng were in front of him, the others didn't see it, and the red light hadn't stopped yet. Du was stunned for a moment, he didn't know why An Zheng stopped Xiao Qidao, but he knew that An Zheng must have a reason to do this, so he didn't say anything.

"Anzheng, why don't you try?"

Qu Liu'er looked at An Zheng and asked, her eyes full of expectation.

"Me?"

An Zheng smiled: "I'll forget it, of course I'm a genius, at least it's not worse than Xiao Qidao." ”

After he finished speaking, he hugged Xiao Qidao and left, without looking back.

That night, everyone slept, and An Zheng came to the side of the Nine Star Terrace alone, and finally couldn't help but try half a star.
