Chapter 31: There is a courtyard, the name is empty, and it is created by the Moren
Outside the city.
The twilight is remnant, the glow is as red as blood, the lights in the city are brightening, the outside of the city is desolate and bleak, and the wall is separated by two lives.
The wind blows the weeds, and the fallen leaves fly. A ladybug followed the trail of blood and eventually came to a halt in front of a behemothβa human foot.
Several teenagers gathered around, staring at the blood-colored bodies in the grass.
"You say, how long will he live?"
"Even if you can come back to life, the sea of qi is wasted, and it is more painful than death. β
"I knew Lostant College was shameless, but I didn't expect it to be so shameless. β
"I agree. One of the teenagers agreed, but he didn't expect him to just pave the way for the next sentence: "I thought you were shameless enough, but I didn't expect there to be someone more shameless than you." β
"Don't compare me with Puth, the slut, and be shameless with him, I'm willing to bow down. The teenager who was taunted by his peers was not angry.
The person who fell on the grass and was barely breathing was Yunfeng.
Puth's last shameless blow naturally could not be hidden from everyone's eyes.
"To save or not to save?" asked another teenager at this time, it was Xiao Chen, who had been shouting in the Xiao Yaju cafeteria to catch ants.
Xiao Chen's question was immediately despised by his companions: "This is not saved, what is the difference between that and Pus's slut." β
"But whether he can survive or not depends on himself. β
Xiao Chen naturally understands that people are of course to be saved, but there is a key question involved: "Who pays for the medicine?"
When the words fell, everyone looked at Xiao Chen in unison.
......
......
"Is he what you say, the kid who has not yet entered the realm of gathering qi but challenges Puth?" Under the dim lamplight, a yellowed face was reflected from time to time, and a pair of crooked eyes were hidden in deep wrinkles.
"If we don't see it with our own eyes, we don't believe it. One of the teenagers replied.
"At this age, he has not yet entered the perception, and his qualifications are too dull, but he can take over Puth's meteor boxing method, and the path of cultivation is really incomprehensible. "There was a mother-in-law sitting on the edge of the old bed, and the old age spots on her face were faintly visible.
"It's not just about taking it. Yuan Yuan corrected, and he could see the final blow of Pu Si and Yun Feng clearly: "If he hadn't relaxed his vigilance in the end, maybe the Qi Sea would not have been abolished." β
When the old woman heard this, she hurriedly stretched out her slightly shriveled finger and put it on the other party's vein, and her eyes lit up: "No, the sea of qi is still there." β
"Can that blow still save the sea of qi?" several teenagers present couldn't help but be surprised, they were very aware of the power of flowing without a trace, and it seemed that they had indeed hit the sea of qi, and they all agreed that the teenager's abolition was a sure thing.
"I also bothered Granny Hua to save this poor man. β
"Yes, with his strength, he may still be able to enter our academy. Several teenagers pleaded.
"It's okay to save him, but only Mr. can decide when he is admitted to the hospital. "Granny Hua came from thousands of miles away, of course she won't see death without help, in fact, she is also quite interested in this young man. And the gentleman in her mouth is the dean of the college.
"That old fellow, we haven't seen anyone since we came. At the mention of the dean, several teenagers couldn't help but feel a smoulder.
"You just accept your fate, Yuan Yuan is so smart, isn't he also deceived. Xiao Chen seems to have resigned himself to this.
"Granny Hua, for so many years, the dean hasn't brought back any information?" one of them asked.
"Nope. He has been traveling for ten years, and there is nothing else except the registration letter you brought with you when you were admitted to the hospital. Granny Hua said bluntly, her rough fingers flicking on the cloud wind vein.
"Huh? Granny Hua suddenly looked suspicious, and changed Yunfeng's other hand to continue to investigate the pulse.
"What?" Yuan Yuan couldn't help but wonder, what kind of thing could make Granny Hua wonder, you must know that an old monster like her may encounter more strange things than they eat.
"I thought he was a genius, but I didn't expect to have nothing to do with the line after all. Granny Hua's wrinkled fingers left Yun Feng's wrist, and her bright eyes suddenly dimmed, leaving only a sigh that echoed in the dark night.
......
......
Yunfeng felt like he had slept for a long time.
My body was very stiff, and I don't know if it was because my muscles had not recovered after sleeping for too long, or because I was too injured and had difficulty moving.
In short, he woke up.
The room was strange, a little basic, the bed was hard, there was only a small wooden table in the room, and the sunlight was very strong, and the broken shadows shone on the wooden table through the sparse tissue paper window.
With a squeak, the door was pushed open, and a round-faced young man came in, and he didn't seem surprised to see Yun Feng wake up: "If you don't die, there will be greater difficulties waiting for you." β
"Yo, Xiaoqiang woke up?" Three more teenagers came in, this tone was not Xiao Chen, who else could it be, he didn't seem to expect Yunfeng to wake up so soon, but this was a kind of relief for him: "Come, Brother Xiaoqiang, drink this night medicine yourself." β
The injury was so serious, but the recovery was so fast, Yun Feng unconsciously became a Xiaoqiang-like existence in Xiao Chen's eyes.
"Ignore him, I forgot to take my medicine when I went out in the morning. The round-faced young man is naturally Yuan Yuan, although he ridiculed Xiao Chen like this, but his words before were not much better.
"Thank you. Although it is not very convenient to move, Yunfeng can still take care of himself when it comes to drinking medicine. He took the medicine bowl and took a sip before drinking it in one gulp.
With his current injury, it would be easy for the other party to harm him, and he didn't have to go to great lengths to save himself before. I have a lot of confidence in the pharmacology of Yunfeng, and I probably know the main ingredients of the decoction when I smell it, and I can basically restore the prescription after tasting it. If you want to do tricks and feet in medicine, unless you are a skilled doctor.
"My name is Yuan Yuan. Yuan Yuan pointed to the young man who spoke earlier: "This guy's name is Chen Ming"
"That's Shen Jiuli. β
"Please call me a genius. "The young man named Shen Jiuli didn't know where he got his confidence, and he was serious.
"Zhu Zhiyong. After Zhu Zhiyong finished speaking, he was as silent as ever.
"Yun Ji. Yun Feng's gaze first fell on Zhu Zhiyong, the latter's resolute face seemed to be as unchanged as a stone for thousands of years, different from the active personalities of the other three, Zhu Zhiyong seemed very silent, the coarse cloth wrapped around his back should be a sword, sharp but not exposed, Yun Feng felt the same strong aura as Jiang Shui Han on him.
"Thank you. Yunfeng thanked again. As the saying goes, great kindness is not grateful, not that there is really no need to thank for kindness, but because the kindness is too great, the words of gratitude are too thin, so it can only be remembered, if he has the opportunity to repay it one day, he will definitely die.
"Yuan Yuan, Chen Ming, Shen Jiuli, Zhu Zhiyong. Yun Feng said their names one by one and held the medicine bowl high: "I wrote down your names in Yun Ji. β
"Save your life, repay your life!" This is a man's promise, the words are firm and unquestionable, and anyone who listens to it will be moved.
"You don't need to repay you with your life. However, Chen Ming was not infected by Yun Feng's affectionate words, but took the medicine bowl in his hand and put it on the table, unhurriedly took out a small note from his cuff and read: "You have been in a coma for three days, and the cost of medicine, nursing, outpatient visits, rent, etc., is exactly ten gold coins, and the specific consumption expenses are detailed in the list." β
"Damn, it's really a big loss for Zi Shuyi not to ask you to be Mr. Bookkeeper. Shen Jiuli had nothing to say about Chen Ming's slamming.
"You have a point. Chen Ming asked rhetorically: "Then you will give this money, right?"
"Are you out of the eyes of money?" Shen Jiuli felt that Chen Ming was hopeless, and decided not to waste time entangled with him, and said to Yun Feng: "Don't take it seriously, this guy lacks everything at home, but he is not short of money." β
Chen Ming disagreed with this statement, and retorted: "You seem to know my family better than me, are you my manure pit, you know what kind of you." β
"I'm your uncle, you forgot, you spilled urine in the pot when you were a child. Shen Jiuli was not to be outdone.
Ten gold coins is undoubtedly a huge wealth for ordinary people, but Yun Feng knows that the injury is serious, and the cost of saving him must be more than ten gold coins, which shows that Chen Ming is not really greedy for money, and the grace of saving his life can not be measured by money.
"No problem. Yun Feng saw that the more the two of them talked, the more outrageous it became, and hurriedly agreed: "But I don't have any money now." β
"That's right. Hearing Yun Feng's promise, Chen Ming immediately broke away from the argument with Shen Jiuli, held his chin and lowered his head to think for a moment before saying, "Then do you have anything valuable?" β
"No, there isn't. Don't bother to think about it, Yunfeng immediately gave the answer. The gold coins on his body had been stolen from the Lostant Academy, and he had nothing outside of his body except for the leather bookbag and the books inside, and naturally he could not sell these two things.
"I said you're enough. Shen Jiuli couldn't stand it anymore, and looked disdainful: "Isn't it just ten gold coins, Yuan Yuan give it to him!"
"You two are still as bad as ever. Yuan Yuan said something that made Yun Feng stunned.
However, Yuan Yuan obviously saw through Shen Jiuli and Chen Ming's thoughts at a glance, and he was already accustomed to this kind of thing: "If you two want me to pay, just say it, you don't have to pretend to be black and white and sing and harmonize, I firmly believe that if you are given a stage, you can stage a big show at any time." β
Yun Feng could never have imagined that things would turn like this. At the beginning, Shen Jiuli was a bodhisattva-hearted, sacrificing himself to save others, looking at the-for-tat appearance between him and Chen Ming, Yun Feng was really worried that the other party would hurt his feelings with Chen Ming for the sake of those ten gold coins, but he never expected that all this was just for Yuan Yuan to see, and he was so moved that he was still moved.
"Take it. Although he saw through Chen Ming and Shen Jiuli's little tricks, Yuan Yuan still paid the money. I saw him cover the medicine bowl and turn it over, and ten golden gold coins were already in the bowl.
Shen Jiuli and Chen Ming worked hard, singing and harmonizing, although Yuan Yuan saw through their thoughts, but in the end they still got ten gold coins, and they should be happy, but at this time, they were crying and sad.
"You've already lost, take the money. At this time, the taciturn Zhu Zhiyong looked at the two of them with great reluctance and urged.
Yunfeng was dumbfounded.
Zhu Zhiyong, who seems to be loyal and honest, actually gambled with Shen Jiuli and Chen Ming, betting on whether Shen Jiuli and Chen Ming can successfully deceive Yuan Yuan, and the winner will not only get the ten gold coins paid by Yuan Yuan, but also ten gold coins for the loser.
"It's a big loss this time. Shen Jiuli and Chen Ming each took out five gold coins from their arms and put them into the bowl with great reluctance.
Yun Feng thought that rich people could play, and in a short period of time, a Rashomon was staged. However, although he was amazed, he was very reluctant in his heart, the grace of saving his life was already difficult to repay, how could he be embarrassed to let Yuan Yuan pay, but even if he was unwilling, the reality was penniless.
"I'll pay you back. Yunfeng promised.
"Well, if you promise me one thing, it will be regarded as a debt. Yuan Yuan's words made Shen Jiuli and Chen Ming couldn't help but admire.
When Yuan Yuan paid the money, they were still a little puzzled, secretly thinking that Yuan Yuan was not a selfless person, how could he suddenly be so generous. Only now did it dawn on me that Yuan Yuan was indeed much more shrewd than them, and ten gold coins were certainly very tempting for ordinary people, but it was undoubtedly much more cost-effective to exchange them for a promise from a cultivator full of unknowns.
If you are someone else, don't say ten gold coins, even if you have a hundred or a thousand Yunfeng, you will not agree, and promising to something that has not yet been clear will undoubtedly leave unpredictable variables in the future. But as Yun Feng said, "The grace of saving lives is repaid with life", as long as it is not a matter of harming nature and reason, he is naturally duty-bound, so he did not hesitate to say: "Okay." β
"Don't worry, it won't be difficult. Yuan Yuan added, a smile flashed in his eyes: "Okay, you rest first, and we'll come to see you tomorrow." β
A few days later.
"I'm going to you, you're really a little stronger. Chen Ming shouted as soon as he entered the door. It's no wonder that after a few days of not seeing him, Yun Feng's injuries have recovered to seventy-seven or eighty-eight, and he can't tell that he was still a sick person lying in bed a few days ago.
Yun Feng was also surprised by the speed of his recovery, although the internal injury still needed to be recuperated for a period of time, but now there was no obstacle to walking life. Since the battle with the Black Sha and Puth, Yunfeng's body seems to have been further strengthened.
"How's that, what's going on?" asked Yuan Yuan. Now that Yun Feng is no longer in trouble, then they can return to the academy with confidence.
Yun Feng hadn't actually thought about this question, so he didn't start thinking about it until Yuan Yuan brought it up. According to the previous plan, his only purpose was to enter the Lostant Qi Academy, but after this encounter, the latter's image in his mind had collapsed.
As for how to go next, Yun Feng is not worried, there are thousands of ways to practice, the academy sect is just one of the avenues, the continent of the underworld is huge, full of unknowns and challenges, the car has its own road in front of the mountain, and the boat is naturally straight to the bridge.
"Let it be, maybe I'll travel around the world first. "Practicing in the course of travel is a state that Yunfeng yearns for.
In the past few days, Yuan Yuan has basically delivered food to Yunfeng, except for Chen Ming, who came to see him off today, Yunfeng has never seen Shen Jiuli and Zhu Zhiyong again. Every time Yuan Yuan finished delivering a meal, it was just a greeting sentence, so they were not familiar with each other. Moreover, not everyone will dig out their hearts and lungs as soon as they meet, and give you the light of their family background, and if this kind of thing happens often, then what is the point.
"Well, there will be a period later. "The reason why Yuan Yuan did not reveal his identity was only because the academy had regulations.
......
......
Pushing open the door, the sunlight shone directly on his face, and Yun Feng felt that he was already a moldy fungus, and at this time he finally suddenly opened up.
The town where he is located is called Epiphany. Although the town is not large, it is adjacent to the capital city of Lotstate, which is equivalent to a transit point into the city, so many merchants will choose to trade here, exchange the goods they need and sell them in the city, and the population is relatively concentrated.
However, where Yunfeng is at this time, it is the most remote place in the town, and the room is basically in an abandoned state, and the rent fee that Chen Ming said naturally does not exist. Of course, Yun Feng didn't care about this, and it was because of the seclusion that no one disturbed him.
During the time of recuperation, Yun Feng had sewn up the animal skin book bag, and although the door was dilapidated, Yun Feng still locked it when he left.
This is the first time that Yunfeng has been out of the center of the town, there is a lot of traffic, people are coming and going, people are busy with their own lives, no one will notice that in this small town called Epiphany, there was once a teenager named Yunfeng who recuperated here, just like its name, but it was as short-lived as a flash in the pan.
"Huh?" Yun Feng walked in the direction of the outside of the town, suddenly stopped, and then went backwards, returning to the stone wall he had passed through, people passing in front of Yun Feng kept passing in front of him, but Yun Feng only stared intently at an announcement on the wall, just like the Lostant Academy admissions announcement he had seen half a month ago.
It's a job announcement, the position is a librarian, and the commission is good, but it doesn't seem to be anything special.
However, the date of the announcement is - ten years ago.
Ten years?Yunfeng took it for granted that this was a prank at first, and in ten years, what kind of changes would the town have undergone, even if no one thought of tearing it up, a blank sheet of paper could be kept undamaged in the wind and rain for ten years?
What Yunfeng didn't see was that ten years ago, an old man picked up paper on a whim and pasted it on the wall, which became a well-known legend in this town.
In the past ten years, not no one has wanted to tear up this piece of paper, among them there are children, there are pork sellers, there are antiques upside down, there are people who have killed people and set fires, and even cultivators, but they all failed.
As time passed, the experiment was abandoned, and the announcement faded into obscurity and became a symbol of the town.
"Is it a prank?" Yun Feng muttered inwardly, his gaze falling on the seal below.
"Dongxu Academy. β
"Liezi Tianwen" cloud: There is a courtyard, the name is Dongxu, and it was created by the Moren.
It's a very concise sentence, but it carries a lot of weight.
"Liezi" is a general book that records the astronomy, geography, and anecdotes of the Ming Zhao Continent thousands of years ago. Yunfeng has one in his bookbag. And what can be recorded in it is insignificant.
Don't say that the Lostant Academy, the Shire Kingdom, and the "Liezi" didn't even have three empires when they came out. It can be seen that Dongxu Academy has a long history.
Yun Feng was suspicious, stepped forward, and took off the announcement.
