Chapter 54: The Trap
Sima Xuan and Dongfang Yan'er followed Professor Xing to an elegant courtyard, the courtyard was surrounded by green bamboo, and after passing through the bluestone road covered by bamboo shadows, they saw a two-story small building made of bamboo. Professor Xing took the two of them to the entrance on the first floor of the bamboo building, turned to Sima Xuan and said, "The vice president is already waiting inside, you can go in." Sima Xuan nodded and turned his head to look at Dongfang Yan'er. Professor Xing continued: "Yan'er, you come with me, because you are innocent and absent from class, the academy is discussing how to deal with your problem, and it just so happens that you are back, so let's go and explain." Dongfang Yan'er smiled and nodded, and replied, "Yes, Uncle Xing." Dongfang Yan'er looked at Sima Xuan, didn't say anything, and left with Professor Xing.
Sima Xuan, who was standing outside the door, wanted to sense the situation in the building, but he was afraid that it would be rude to do so, and just as he was about to knock on the door, an old man's voice came from inside the house, "Since Xiaoyou is here, why don't you come in for a long time." Sima Xuan smiled bitterly in his heart, pushed the door and walked into the house.
Two bamboo chairs, a bamboo table, and a potted bamboo plant, the furnishings in the house are simple but elegant. An old man lay on his back on a bamboo chair casually, and the teacup on the bamboo table wafted a faint fragrance of tea. Sima Xuan saluted slightly and said, "Senior Situ Xuan, meet the seniors." ”
The old man closed his eyes and said, "Don't be so restrained, just sit down." Sima Xuan sat on another bamboo chair. The old man continued: "Situ Xuan, it turned out that his name was changed, but that's right, after all, Lost Heaven is your father. Sima Xuan heard the old man say this, and stood up from the bamboo chair suddenly, although his expression was still calm at the moment, but his heart was already like a stormy wave. Sima Xuan had imagined some possible situations before he came, after all, he still knew more or less about the power of Chongwu Academy, but as soon as he came up, he was exposed to the secret of his surname, which Sima Xuan did not expect. The old man was still lying on his back in the chair, and said faintly: "Don't panic, little friend, sit down." I think there's something I should tell you, and that's why he's here for you. Sima Xuan sat down again, did not speak, and waited for the old man to continue.
The old man opened his eyes and looked at Sima Xuan. Then he said: "It's really quite similar, call me Webb when the defeated sky is here, you can call me that." ”
Although Sima Xuan was a little surprised by the old man's understanding of him, he still had to ask the question in his heart. He stood up, bowed to Webb, and said, "Webb, I would like to ask you to tell me about my father. ”
Webb nodded and said, "Well, your father...... He was the youngest fifth-order cultivator in the history of Chongwu Academy, and he had won the honor of being the envy of others for a lifetime...... "Weber told Sima Xuan a lot about Situ Defeat's deeds. In Sima Xuan's opinion, Weber's father is a perfect person without a single flaw, although he is very happy that his father is so good, but he feels more and more that there is always something hidden in Weber's words.
Sima Xuan waited for a while, and then asked, "My father is so powerful, I don't know who his master is?"
Weber changed his benevolent expression just now, and a sense of reverence unconsciously revealed him, and said: "One of the founders of Chongwu Academy, the savior of the Chinese mainland, and the martial artist. ”
Hearing the name of the martial artist, Sima Xuan did not have the same reverence as Weber, he replied lightly: "It turned out to be him!"
Weber seemed to be a little unhappy to hear Sima Xuan like this, but then he shook his head with relief, Weber also knew in his heart that as time went by, people's reverence for the heroes of the past would become weaker and weaker, and maybe what would be left after a hundred years was just a name in history. "Alright!" said Weber, "I didn't take all my belongings with him when he left here for Lidu, so I'll take you to his dwellings to see how you can get to know your father better." ”
Sima Xuan stood up from the bamboo chair, bowed respectfully to Weber, and said, "Thank you, Weber." ”
Weber waved his hand and said lightly: "People are gone, ......" Sima Xuan looked at Weber in front of him with some surprise, he really couldn't figure out the old man in front of him, maybe people will be like the old man in front of them when they are old, sometimes they like to be comfortable, sometimes they like to remember.
Weber took Sima Xuan to another bamboo house, crossed the stone road between the bamboo forests, and presented a bamboo building in front of him, just like the one where Weber lived. Sima Xuan looked at Weber, who nodded and said, "Go, go and see." Sima Xuan nodded, gave a deep salute, and then turned around and pushed the door into the bamboo building. The furnishings in the room were the same as Weber's, with two bamboo chairs and a bamboo table, on which was a vase of flowers, and the plants in the vase had long since withered. Sima Xuan looked around, but he didn't see some personal belongings left by Situ Futian, he walked down the stairs to the second floor, which seemed to be Situ Futian's bedroom, and there were a few books on the low table at the head of the bed. Sima Xuan looked on the second floor, but he didn't find anything else that could be useful to him, so he set his sights on those books, and at the moment when Sima Xuan picked up the first book, several heavy roars sounded, and Sima Xuan's heart sank, knowing that something bad was wrong. However, he didn't have any panic, Sima Xuan came downstairs, and looked at the heavy mechanism that seemed to be an iron plate falling outside the window and door, and a smile appeared on his face. Through the window of the iron plate mechanism at the entrance, you can see Webb standing outside.
Sima Xuan's expression was calm, and he asked, "Webb, what does this mean?"
Webber smiled bitterly and said: "Situ Xiaoyou, don't be surprised, in fact, we have long known that you are coming to Chongwu Academy, and this bamboo building has been prepared for you a long time ago, but you can rest assured, the food and water in the house are enough for you to use it for a while, and the books on the low table are indeed read by your father, and we are doing this out of helplessness, but also to protect your safety." ”
Sima Xuan looked at Weber with some puzzlement and asked, "So, I should thank you?"
Webber shook his head and said: "Don't worry, the mechanism outside this house seems to be an ordinary iron plate, but in fact, it has been imposed, and no one can break these iron plates except you, as for when you can come out, it all depends on you, we are also entrusted by others, and I hope that Situ Xiaoyou can cultivate inside with peace of mind, and when you can break the iron plate, it will be when you know all the answers." With that, Webber turned and left.
Sima Xuan was also helpless at this time, since people said so, it was not because they had malicious intentions towards themselves, otherwise it would not be easy to clean up after himself before. Thinking of this, Sima Xuan came to the iron plate, touched the iron plate with his hand, and his perception was extraordinary, he could clearly find the power of the seals flowing on these iron plates, it seemed that it was really as Weber said, to break this iron plate, it was very difficult to do without a lot of effort.
Immediately, Sima Xuan took a few steps back, and his true qi like flames came out of his body, this was the first time he had shown the power of yang fire since he left the valley. Sima Xuan's method was very simple, just like in the valley at the beginning, gathering all the true qi on his right fist, and the true qi like a flame was constantly compressed, and at this moment, Sima Xuan's right fist was like a miniature sun that had shrunk down, exuding a dazzling light. Sima Xuan stepped on the Yin and Yang Shift Method, his figure was as fast as thunder and lightning, and he swung out a fierce punch, "Bang!" The powerful force shook the iron plate, but it only caused a lot of shock, and the iron plate was still intact. Sima Xuan gasped, thinking to himself, why is it like this every time, there is always such a difficult thing to break in front of him. Helplessly, Sima Xuan returned upstairs and lay on the bed, thinking in his heart: Since this is the case, then stay here, I don't know what to do when I go out. Then he took a book on a low table and flipped through it
