There were no other trivial matters that day, and the only thing Xu Xiaojing had to do now was to fill the hole in his roof, because of this matter, he had made an IOU of five hundred yuan stone to Old Man Qiu.

"Xiaoqing, hand me that plank. Xu Xiaojing on the roof shouted to Lan Qing below.

"Brother Xiaojing, be careful", Lan Qing reached out and handed the wooden board up.

Xu Xiaojing knocked and beat, and finally repaired the roof after a lot of effort. Lan Qing saw Xu Xiaojing coming down, and handed over the water and towels that had been prepared. Xu Xiaojing took the water and towel and helped Lan Qing brush the hair on her sideburns.

Peace is always so easy to break, Xu Xiaojing just drank a sip of water and wiped a handful of sweat, when she heard Qiu Lao's voice coming from afar: "Xu boy, blue girl, if you are done, come to me."

Xu Xiaojing and Lan Qing felt a little incredible, this was the only time this year that Old Man Qiu took the initiative to look for them except for IOUs.

Lan Qing guessed and said, "Qiu Lao said that he would take us out tomorrow, will it have something to do with this matter?"

Xu Xiaojing frowned, and said, "What does it matter to him, he will know if he goes." ”

Xu Xiaojing and Lan Qing came to Qiu Lao's courtyard, only to see today's Qiu Lao reaping his past laziness and sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard. Seeing Xu Xiaojing and the two coming, Qiu Lao pointed to the stone bench next to him and said, "Sit down." ”

After the two sat down, Qiu Lao spoke directly: "I really have something to tell you about calling you here today, but before I tell you about this, I want to talk to you about the past of our deserted academy." ”

Speaking of the past of the Deserted Academy, a trace of remembrance flashed in Qiu Lao's eyes, and there was even more pride.

Qiu Lao continued to speak: "You have been here for a year, and I know your curiosity, why our Desert Academy is called the First Academy of Wasteland, but not a single student has signed up for several years in the cold, and today I will talk about the reason for this." ”

"This matter needs to start from a hundred and thirty years ago, when the Desert Academy was at its peak, and the young children of the entire Desert County were basically proud to be able to study in the Desert Academy. ”

But just a few years later, the then dean of the Desolate Academy discovered a ruin, which contained all kinds of natural treasures and rare beasts. It was this relic that pushed the deserted academy to its peak at that time. With the development of more than a hundred years later, the overall strength of the Desolate Academy has made a qualitative leap, so it was promoted, and since then it has separated from these eighteen counties and entered the territory of Jiuzhou. ”

"This promotion of the Desolate Academy has taken away nearly ninety percent of the resources of the entire Desolate Academy, and the only remaining one is the Library Pavilion you see. And old man, because I am old and don't want to wander in those nine continents, I stayed in this desolate academy, and in the past ten years, there has not been a single student in the desolate academy except for you. ”

"This time I told you about this relic is related to this ruin, this ruin is only opened once in ten years, and now this ruin is now under the control of our six southern counties, but due to the power of our desolate academy, so every time it is opened, we will be more or less allocated a few places. ”

"And I would like to take this opportunity to popularize with you the basic situation of the entire continent. The entire Cangyun Continent is like a circle, divided into the periphery, the inner perimeter and the core, and the outer periphery is the eighteen counties, the inner perimeter is the eight continents, and the core is the central continent. ”

"I don't know much about the inner perimeter and the core, this is the six counties in the east and west of the periphery, and the north is the ice vein Daze, which is sparsely populated. And our barren county belongs to the southern six counties, which are the barren county, the forest county, the feather county, the Akita county, the Hanshan county, and the northern moon county. ”

"Of course, this time, in addition to our Desert Academy, there will also be people from the Celestial Star Academy, so you can be a companion and take care of each other when you meet each other. ”

"As for the situation in the other counties, I'll tell you later, after all, I don't know much about it now. If you still have any doubts, ask them now, and if not, go back and prepare. ”

Qiu Lao said a lot at length, which can be regarded as solving all of Xu Xiaojing's doubts in the past year, and also allowing Xu Xiaojing to have a deeper understanding of the Cangyun Continent.

But Xu Xiaojing still had some doubts about this ruin, so she asked: "Qiu Lao, what is in this ruin, what makes so many people flock to it?"

Qiu Lao glanced at Xu Xiaojing and said: "I don't know what it is, this relic only allows monks from the foundation building realm to enter, and I have never entered it, but I have heard the old people of the academy say that there are treasures that increase the chance of breaking through to soul melting, and perhaps this is one of the most important reasons why our desolate academy can be promoted to the inner circle." Of course, the strange flowers and plants among them, as well as the spirit beast Neidan, are also rare treasures. ”

Xu Xiaojing then asked another question: "Then since this relic is so useful, why doesn't the promoted Desolate Academy take it into his arms?"

"It's not that the academy doesn't want to, it's just that there is a barrier enchantment on the outer and inner periphery of this Cangyun Continent, you can go out, but if you want to come back, you need to pay a great price. And in the inner area, there are countless more caves and blessed places, maybe the academy gradually doesn't care. ”

"Any other questions?" asked Qiu Lao again.

Xu Xiaojing shook his head, the content of these words was enough for him to digest.

"Then let's go back and get ready, after all, this place is still some distance from the ruins, and we will leave early tomorrow morning. After Qiu Lao finished speaking, he turned around and left.

After listening to Qiu Lao's words, Xu Xiaojing's eyes seemed to be much deeper, and a strong seed began to be planted in his heart.

Because he knows that only by becoming stronger can he guard, can he explore more secrets of this world, and can he hope to find his way home.
