Chapter 12 The First Emergence of the East River
About two hundred meters out of the city gate, Zhang Yanyun stopped, looked back at the word "Dongjiang" on the city gate, and was stunned.
At this moment, it is still early, and there are not many people coming and going at the city gate, most of them are woodcutters and farmers, and they are a little kind in Zhang Yanyun's eyes when they say hello to each other.
He never thought that he would leave Dongjiang Town so soon, let alone leave in such a way, and of course he didn't expect Zhou Chuxue to help him out of the siege.
"Why do you help me?" Zhang Yanyun asked softly without replying his head.
Zhou Chuxue's faint voice floated over: "I can't help it, if you are disabled, how can I take you to the adjudication office?"
For some reason, when he heard Zhou Chuxue's words, a trace of warmth drifted through Zhang Yanyun's heart, and he pulled the corners of his mouth and said, "I didn't expect that in the end, it would be the people from the adjudication office who saved me." ”
Zhou Chuxue suddenly said: "It seems that you can't control the power in your body yet, otherwise you will ......"
"I don't want to hurt them. Zhang Yanyun laughed at himself and said, "Brother Lu has always been honest with me, and I won't worry about them in front of Brother Lu." ”
"But you just said that you would pay them back ten times the wounded. ”
Zhang Yanyun thought for a while and said, "That's not counting, that's revenge, not harm." ”
"I think you're kind of funny now. ”
"Really? Maybe you're too boring. ”
"Possibly. ”
"Aha?"
After being silent for a while, Zhang Yanyun said sincerely: "Anyway, thank you." ”
"Well, I'm not very good at refusing, so I'll take it. Zhou Chuxue nodded.
Zhang Yanyun glanced at her and said, "If you need help next time, I will definitely help you." ”
"Good. Zhou Chuxue nodded, she didn't seem to have thought about what an ordinary person could do to help a cultivator?
......
......
Zhang Yanyun was not a cultivator, so Zhou Chuxue bought two horses in the nearby post station.
"Do you know how to ride?"
Zhang Yanyun swallowed his saliva and looked at the horse in front of him that was two heads taller than him: "I have studied in books, but I haven't really tried it." ”
"Bang ......"
Stumble.
"Bang ......"
Fall again.
After falling for two or three days, and paying the price of countless bruises, Zhang Yanyun, who had a blue nose and swollen face, was finally able to skillfully control the black horse, and the two galloped towards Duanyang City along the official road.
Dongjiang Town and Duanyang City are both cities along the eastern coast of the Cangjiang River, so the distance between the two is not too close and not too far, ordinary people ride horses for about a week and a half, passing through some small towns along the way, Zhang Yanyun has seen a lot of scenes that he has never seen in his life.
Although he had only been on horseback for two or three days, he seemed to have fallen in love with the feeling of galloping, as if all his troubles had gone with the wind, and the sun blew his hair and the mane of the horse swayed like waves.
And as she spent more time with Zhou Chuxue, Zhang Yanyun found that Zhou Chuxue was excellent in all aspects except for her indifferent personality, and her heart was very kind, which always made Zhang Yanyun unable to connect her with a dark place like the ruling. She is nineteen years old this year, three years older than Zhang Yanyun, and can be regarded as Zhang Yanyun's senior sister, but she is a student of Chang'an Academy, and she will graduate from the academy next year according to the four-year system of ordinary universities, enter the competition for the honor list, and really start her own legend.
The so-called honor list, like the gold list, is a list of statistical cultivation rankings of various countries in the Oracle Continent, the difference is that the gold list is a ranking list of students in an institution, and the honor list is for everyone who has successfully graduated from an institution, as long as they graduate, they will have their own ranking on the national honor list, this ranking is easy to view, and the ranking largely determines a person's status and power in the country.
Another point that made Zhang Yanyun pay attention was that Zhou Chuxue's money was not restrained at all, it was the best inn and the best room, and the food was light but not cheap, but it was normal for Zhang Yanyun to think about it, where would the high-ranking officials in the adjudication office be as poor as himself?
On this day, the two rode into a small town called Xiyang, and after running for two days, both of them needed a place to rest and rest overnight, and this small city was surrounded by jungles on all sides, and there were many wild beasts, even Zhou Chuxue did not want to stay in the forest.
One or two beasts are nothing, of course, but a large number is inevitably not a threat.
Like the previous times, Zhou Chuxue put out a silver ingot, asked for two upper rooms with good meals, Xiao Er led the two upstairs, Zhou Chuxue's noble temperament and exquisite appearance attracted the attention of countless people, but she never cared about these.
By the time the two of them finished eating together, it was already late at night, the inn had closed, and the rest of the rooms had fallen into darkness, only the night shift Xiao Er leaned on the stairs and took a nap.
Zhang Yanyun hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Senior Sister Chuxue, I want to ask about some things reported by the school. ”
Zhou Chuxue was slightly stunned, she didn't seem to expect Zhang Yanyun to ask this, although the two have been together for a while, but Zhou Chuxue doesn't like to talk, Zhang Yanyun doesn't have the courage to find trouble, and the conversation between the two is a little pitiful.
"You ask, but I don't necessarily know. Zhou Chuxue said.
Although Zhang Yanyun was a little strange why she didn't necessarily know, she still asked obediently: "I want to ask about the general process when entering the school." ”
Zhou Chuxue thought for a while and said: "You don't have to worry about this, everyone's information will be registered after admission, and then each school will organize new students to go to the Hanging Court Sect to receive divine light baptism, and after receiving baptism, your body will be able to accommodate divine power, and then you will get a chance to comprehend the idol, but this first idol is determined by lottery, which means that you can't be sure which one your first idol is." ”
"Which idols are stronger?" Zhang Yanyun became interested.
Zhou Chuxue said: "There are a total of twenty-five idols now, and it is impossible to say which idol is the strongest, because the power of the same idol in the hands of different cultivators is completely different, so it is impossible to say which idols are stronger. Generally speaking, a team of three people, one attack, one defense, one support, it will be more appropriate, of course, it is not necessarily, and it is not impossible for a team of three people to attack with the main attack. ”
"Why do you ask for a team of three, and the most important thing in the honor roll is the team ranking?"
Zhou Chuxue shook his head and said: "No one knows this, according to the public statement of the Hanging Court Sect, everyone in the world is divided from God, and everyone is one-third of God, one is good, one evil and one is the container, so cultivators must work in groups of three in order to obtain the gift of God and the power of God." ”
"I know this, I learned it in the school. Zhang Yanyun scratched his head.
Zhou Chuxue glanced at him and said, "Hmm." The symbol of the Hanging Court Sect is the sun in the center, and the periphery is a cloud that evolves from a triangle, the number three has a special meaning for the world, and the number "three" is the most stable structure in the world. ”
Zhang Yanyun nodded, this is almost the original words in the book, the cultivators for thousands of years have been in groups of three, although it is impossible to really share the honor and disgrace of all the groups of three as Zhou Chuxue said, but at least under the impetus of the Hanging Ting Sect, no one wants to change this system, after all, this system does have its own unique benefits.
"Senior sister, you just said that the power of everyone's first idol is determined by lottery?" Zhang Yanyun frowned, "Is such an important matter so hasty?"
Zhou Chuxue said lightly: "This is the rule set by the Hanging Court, do you have any opinions?"
Zhang Yanyun shrunk his neck and stuck out his tongue, the Hanging Court Sect was the highest authority on this continent, how could he dare to have an opinion? He could only be curious about Zhou Chuxue's idol while praying that he would draw a suitable idol for himself.
Of course, he didn't know what was appropriate, but most teenagers would think so when faced with a similar choice.
