On the twenty-seventh day of the fifth month of the Shengming calendar, a sunny day with a clear air, the atmosphere of early summer has already shown some clues in the dynastic country in the eastern corner of the continent.

On the square of Xiansheng Academy, hundreds of students lined up in a square line, waiting for the last process before the start of the annual training under the rising sun.

The current dean of Xiansheng Academy is a Confucian named Guo Li, who is just over fifty years old, and it is said that he is one of the students taught by Cen Can back then, which is also an important reason why everyone is curious about how old Master Cen is this year.

Before the beginning of the academy every year, Guo Li will give a speech to the effect that "read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles, and hope that you, the disciples of the Xiansheng Academy, can go deep into the people, understand the sufferings of the people, and do your own work well during this period of training".

This year will certainly be no exception.

Everyone endured their temperament and listened to Guo Daru repeating the unchanged speech there, but they were all thinking about the next experience in their hearts.

Meng Siao was also in this queue, hiding in the crowd at this time, yawning, while thinking back to what Liu Xuanzong said to him in the secret room of the imperial study a few days ago-

"Because of that sudden 'spiritual explosion', it seems to have directly penetrated the space and penetrated a 'realm' that had never been heard of before. According to the secret information sent back by my imperial brother, King Dingxi, it has been completely determined that this 'realm' is a completely new 'realm' that has never been explored before. The heavenly and earthly treasures inside are very rich, and there may be a storage of spirit stone veins!"

"It's just that the scope of that 'spiritual explosion' is too large, and it has affected Da Chu and Chijin at the same time, plus the entrance of this newly emerged 'realm' is at the junction of my Dali and their Da Chu and Chijin, so when I knew about this matter, the two old guys of Da Chu's Xiang Zhuang and Chijin's Wanyan Aguda also received similar secret documents. ”

"As long as you can get the resources such as heaven and earth treasures in this new 'realm', you will undoubtedly be able to instantly strengthen the national strength of a dynasty, but those two old guys are similar to my worries, they are afraid that the three kingdoms will fight, and the movement is too big, if it attracts the peeps of the monks outside the square, it will be extraneous branches, and everyone will not be able to reap any benefits. Therefore, in this year's Yanshan Spring Hunting, there will be teams from Da Chu and Chijin to participate. ”

"I agreed with the two of them that the ranking of the Yanshan Spring Hunt will determine the order in which our Three Kingdoms will enter successively - you did a good job in the Yanshan Spring Hunt, not only won the top spot for me, but also kicked the teams of Da Chu and Chijin out of the game, which greatly raised the majesty of my Da Li! Hey, because of this, Xiang Zhuang and Wanyan Agu beat those two old guys, and they are still arguing over who is second and who is third. ”

"However, this matter is very important, and I must not leak the rumors, so it is not until this moment that I will tell you all the causes and consequences. I want you to go to Pingxi precisely because that place is only a few days away from the border of the three countries. ”

"According to the agreement between me and those two old guys, since I have hunted the leader in Yanshan Spring, I will be the first to enter that 'realm'. In the first seven days, the people of Da Chu and Chijin will not be able to enter, you have to take advantage of that time to take as many resources as possible for me!"

"If it is a resource that cannot be collected at the first time, you can take this kind of order flag engraved with my great departure from the country and insert it at both ends of the first place, according to the previous agreement between me and those two old guys, all the resources within the range of each other's order flags, the other two countries cannot be moved. ”

"On this trip, led by you, my six emperors will also go secretly. Originally, I also wanted to select a few more people in the Xiansheng Academy to make sure that everything was perfect. However, with your strength today, even the elite disciples of the Yushan Sect can be defeated, and if there are a few more people, it will not have the icing on the cake, but on the contrary, there will be too many people to talk about, increasing the possibility of leaking news. So, it's good that you know about it alone, and don't talk to anyone when you go out of this door, especially your open-mouthed brethren. If it is really known by the forces outside the party, it will be a big trouble!"

......

On that day, the two of them, who were both monarchs and nephews, talked secretly in the secret room of the imperial study for more than three hours, and by the time Meng Siao left the palace and returned home, it was almost approaching dusk.

At this time, thinking back to Liu Xuanzong's advice that day, some of the problems that were a little puzzling to him before had already been solved.

It's just that there is one thing that may not even be known to this Emperor Shengming, he thinks that the geographical location is delicate, and Pingxi, which is the hometown of poor mountains and bad waters, is very likely, and it is not as simple as this Majesty imagined.

The students of the Ancestral Academy, once their identities are revealed, as long as they are far from the boundary, no matter where they go, no one dares to provoke them, and the black and white forces in those places, even if they are not welcome, even if they are angry, few of them dare to tear their faces, let alone kill a student of the Ancestral Academy.

However, in Pingxi, a student of Xiansheng Academy once died!

Meng Siao asked Cen Can and Du Ziang, and learned that the student who died twenty years ago, named Liu Xiu, was the former "Wanjia" who had always had an in-law relationship with the royal family among the five major gates, and was given the surname "Liu", and the current Liu family.

Even the disciples of the five major gates dared to kill, and the person who committed the murder, or the person behind the scenes, was not insignificant.

On the other hand, he is so bold that even the disciples of the five major gates have to risk killing him, so it can be seen that the reason behind this, once it is exposed, I am afraid that it will definitely be extraordinary.

As soon as he thought of this, the corners of Meng Siao's mouth raised slightly, and the whole person finally lifted a little bit of energy from this lazy state.

At this time, Guo Daru, who was standing under the plaque of the "Xiansheng Academy" for a routine speech, finally finished repeating the words that the students were about to grow calluses, nodded slightly, and said to everyone: "Then, please receive your own letter of recommendation and start this year's experience." ”

After a pause, he added: "Also, remember that if you return to the academy before the tenth day of October, those who violate the deadline will be directly downgraded by one level." ”

After saying that, His Excellency turned around and hurried towards the academy.

Because the annual experience lasts for four months, so under the grinding and grinding of the old master Du who is addicted to selling faces, the great Confucians finally learned three pages of "classics" from Meng Siao. If it weren't for the speech before this experience, which was the rule set by the "Yasheng" who founded the academy, Guo Li would not have wasted this time-

I didn't see anyone present, except for him, a great Confucian, even Cen Can, who was in charge of keeping the "letter of recommendation", casually found a teacher from the academy to substitute for the class today, and he didn't even appear in person.

Meng Siao is not like others, he has long known that his training place this year is Pingxi, so after taking the letter of recommendation that belonged to him, he didn't even dismantle it, he threw it directly into the origin ring, turned around and walked towards the outside of the palace.

Before he had taken a few steps, Zhuge Fei's voice came from behind him: "Five Shao! Wu Shao! You wait for us!"
