Chapter 11: First Encounter
The secret room was airtight, and there was nothing else except for the filing cabinets that filled three walls and the door sealed by purple spiritual power. Qiu Bai and Dean Hou stood facing each other, their expressions were complicated, as if they had a thousand words to say, but they couldn't say anything.
"Are you really sure?"
"There's no mistake," said Qiu Bai, "it's a genuine dragon-patterned celestial halberd." Turquoise. Pure wind attributes. There can be no fake. ”
"Hmm......" Dean Hou stroked his beard, "then you really plan to train him like this? What if 'they' find out his identity?"
"Estimated unlikely. No one can come up with evidence. No one but you and me will know the true outcome of 'that incident'. ”
"How do you know that 'they' can't find out?" Dean Hou raised his voice, "Even if they can't find out, they can at least deduce it, right?"
"All the files have been sealed. The case has already been closed," said Huber, "have you forgotten that the consul himself ordered that no one should be allowed to pursue and inquire further? Even 'they' don't have the power to re-investigate. ”
"I mean, just in case," Dean Hou said, "you must know that the Dragon Pattern Fang Tian Halberd is only one aspect......
"And his strength attributes, and his talent, right?" Qiu Bai spread his hands, "I know. Of course, I know what it means to have a dark green dragon pattern Fang Tian Halberd and a second-order first-level initial spiritual power. That's why I'm going to take him as an apprentice and train him myself to be my heir. With you, you and I will teach him together, and he will never go down the wrong path. When he inherits my position, no one can touch him casually. ”
"You think too simply," said Dean Hou, "Have you forgotten how 'they' forged documents, bought off witnesses, and fabricated crimes? As long as 'they' want to rectify people, there is no one who can't be rectified! As soon as he emerges, 'they' can immediately see it!"
"Bang!" Qiu Bai suddenly slapped his palm on the door blocked by spiritual power. He lowered his head slowly, his eyes revealing sadness that could not be concealed.
"But I have to. If not, I will regret it for the rest of my life. ”
Dean Hou didn't speak, just lowered his head and looked into Qiu Bai's eyes.
"Brother Renze," Qiu Bai raised his head, "You also know that the incident back then was completely made up by 'them'. You and I are both at fault. We have committed sins that are irreparable. I must atone for my sins. ”
"I know. ”
Hou Renze's eyes became clear, like two bright moons.
"You still can't forget 'her', can you?"
"Yes. Qiu Bai shook his head, as if he wanted to shake off the memory.
"Xiaoyuan, it's the blood and blood of 'him' and 'her'...... I've treated him like my child......"
"I see. Hou Renze nodded heavily.
Qiu Bai raised his head again, took two steps forward, and grabbed Hou Renze's shoulder.
"Brother Renze, believe me. As long as he can grow up healthy and smooth, his future achievements will be higher than each of us. He is the hope of the Cangling Kingdom. Even, it is the entire Cangling Continent. ”
"Squeak-" The door reopened. Ye Hengyuan stood up from his chair.
"Master. ”
Qiu Bai walked out directly and walked in front of Ye Hengyuan. Hou Renze stood by the door and watched quietly.
"Xiaoyuan, I've already talked to Dean Hou. In the future, you should study well in the academy first. You hold these. ”
What he pulled out was a small book the size of a palm, and a stack of money.
"This ......" Ye Hengyuan took the small book and money, "Master, this is ......"
"You take it first," Qiu Bai said, "This book is a simple weapon book, which contains the introductory skills of various long weapons, including the Fang Tian Halberd." When you usually have a break, or when you don't have classes, read more and practice more. It will help you master the martial spirit. ”
"You take this money first, as living expenses. I have already paid the tuition and dormitory fees for you. ”
Ye Hengyuan lowered his head and carefully counted the handful of money in his hand. It's all glittering golden Heavenly Spirit Coins.
"Wow...... That's a lot......"
His eyes were straight, his mouth was wide open, and his hands began to tremble, almost unable to hold them. Growing up, he had never seen so much money. He knew since he was a child that the currency of Cangling Country was divided into three types: Heavenly Spirit Coins, Earth Spirit Coins, and Xuanling Coins, with one day of Spirit Coin equal to ten Earth Spirit Coins, and one Earth Spirit Coin equal to fifty Xuan Ling Coins. In the entire Qingyan Town, there were only a handful of people with a monthly income of ten days of spirit coins. Even the proprietress had never had more than seventy days of spirit coins.
"That's a total of 1,200 Heavenly Spirit Coins," Qiu Bai said, "it should be enough for you for a long time." Later, when you go to run the school certificate, save most of the money in the college's treasury, leaving only a small part and withdraw as much as you want. The cash bank is on the top floor of the integrated living building. Remember, don't spend money recklessly. ”
"Yes, Master. Ye Hengyuan nodded, stuffed the money and notebook into the pocket on his chest, and put it together with the jade pendant.
"Well," Qiu Bai smiled and nodded, "Later, Dean Hou will tell you about the academy's system and daily schedule." Later, you will be instructed by an instructor on how to choose a course and assigned you a dormitory. I'm going back to the front. ”
"Hey, Master," Ye Hengyuan asked, "You just ...... How...... Ah, no, where did you get all this money?"
"It's called spatial compression," Qiu Bai said with a smile, "it's the ability to seal items with spiritual power and carry them around." When you reach the fourth level, you will be able to learn. ”
"Well," Ye Hengyuan nodded, "Then Master, be careful." Walking. ”
"Of course. Qiu Bai smiled, and as soon as his body moved, he instantly transferred out of the dean's room. In the next second, his figure disappeared at the end of the corridor.
Ye Hengyuan stood in place, looking at the direction in which Qiu Bai disappeared, his eyes were a little dazed.
"Xiaoyuan. Hou Renze beckoned to him.
"Huh?" Ye Hengyuan was stunned for a moment, turned his head, and took two steps back, "Dean, is there anything wrong with you?"
Hou Renze walked over with a smile, stretched out his hand, and patted Ye Hengyuan on the shoulder. His hands are not the same as those of Qiu Bai, not very slender, but very thick. Purple spiritual power was condensed in his other hand and the door was closed again.
"When there are no outsiders, you can call me Uncle Hou. Your master and I have been friends for many years. Come, let me take a look at your martial spirit first. ”
"Hmm. Ye Hengyuan nodded and released his dragon pattern Fang Tian Halberd. He slowly controlled the spiritual power, softening the fluctuations of the spiritual power around him as much as possible.
The dragon-patterned celestial halberd appeared on his right hand. Circles of cyan light leaked out like waves, from the tip of the halberd to the root.
"Hmm......" Hou Renze raised his hand, thought for a moment, and opened his five fingers. The blue-purple thunder and lightning spread out in a net, enveloping Ye Hengyuan's body. Thunder and lightning crackled around him, but it didn't hurt him in the slightest.
"Whew!" Two light green circles of light appeared on the dragon pattern square halberd. The former one has eight points of light, and the latter one has only two.
"Hmm...... Eighteen years old, second-order second-order ...... "Hou Renze stroked his beard," he had mastered the Qi Condensation Bomb and opened up most of the spiritual veins in his body...... It's a good seedling......"
"Master helped me get through. Ye Hengyuan replied respectfully.
"Well, good. ”
Hou Renze nodded, walked back to the back of the desk, opened the filing cabinet, took out two sets of maps, one large and one small, and handed them to Ye Hengyuan.
"Xiao Yuan, this is the map of Cangling City and the Academy. Later, you go to the comprehensive living building next to the office building, which is the white building to the east of the office building. You first go to the first floor to get your student ID, then go up to the second floor to get your daily necessities, and then go to the third floor to get the keys to the dormitory. ”
"Hmm. ”
"When you go back to the dormitory and put your things in place, take your student ID card and go to the second floor of the first teaching building. There will be an instructor who will test your martial arts and physical fitness for you again, and then help you choose a course. Then, you'll be free to move around today. Classes start tomorrow. ”
"I see. Thank you, Dean. Ye Hengyuan smiled and nodded, grabbed the two maps, and prepared to leave.
"Hey, what's more," Hou Renze picked up the two documents on the table and stuffed them into his hand, "and your enrollment certificate and file." Show this to the people in the integrated living building. ”
Although the comprehensive living building is not far from the office building, it is only relatively not far away. Ye Hengyuan trotted all the way, and it took ten minutes to arrive. Only then did he realize that the entire Cangling Academy was much larger than he had imagined. After tossing for nearly half an hour, he rushed to the dormitory building with a large bag of small wraps on his back.
The dormitory building is located next to a small lake, and there are two buildings of different colors, separated by a small hill-like building. The slightly larger Blue Building on the north side is the men's dormitory, and the smaller Red Building on the south side is the women's dormitory. In military academies, the number of female students is lower after all, even for spirit masters.
Ye Hengyuan walked into the boys' dormitory building. There was no one in the hall, just a slightly older man leaning back on a chaise longue and squinting. He was a short and fat man, but he had long dark brown hair and wore an old uniform.
"Hello. Ye Hengyuan respectfully stepped forward to say hello.
"Hmm......" Humpty Dumpty opened his eyes, glanced at Ye Hengyuan, and pointed to a large notebook spread out on the table in front of him.
"New students? Just fill out the form. ”
Ye Hengyuan quickly picked up the pen, filled out the form, picked up the package, and walked to the staircase. His dormitory is on the third floor and is a double dormitory. Generally speaking, new students and most of the students live in double dormitories, and only a few excellent students are eligible for single rooms.
He began to imagine what his roommate would look like. Since he was a child, he had few friends, and the few who had left Qingyan Town for a bigger place. Gradually, he had less and less contact with his peers. When the restaurant is not busy, he always likes to read alone, or practice boxing alone in a place where no one is around.
"Squeak-" He pushed open the door to the dorm room.
It was as if the space in the dormitory had been divided, half of it was neat, and the other side was a mess. There was nothing on the bed on the left, and it looked like no one had lived in it. On the right side, on the bed, on the chair, and on the table, there are all kinds of messy books, clothes, and belongings, and it looks like they haven't cleaned up in a long time.
"Who is this? Why is this so messy?"
He shook his head, put the futon and other items in order, and pulled out a brand new uniform to change into. The uniform is made of linen, which is comfortable and breathable to wear. The tunic is turquoise, the trousers are dark green, and the chest is embroidered with a pattern of the national emblem, as well as a green and white ball.
"Hmm...... It's so comfortable to wear. ”
He took out the jade pendant, deposit card, and student ID card from his old clothes, and carefully put them into the inner pocket of his clothes.
"Alright. It's time to choose a course. ”
The first school building is on the other side of the lake, which can be accessed from the small bridge over the lake.
Ye Hengyuan gently urged his spiritual power, ran over quickly, and arrived at the lake in a few minutes. The water is so clear that you can see from the shore to the bottom. Schools of fish swim happily at the bottom of the lake, devouring fish and insects while spitting bubbles. The wind gently blew across the lake, blowing a few ripples, and also blowing the willows on the shore to sway with the wind. No one could have imagined that in a spiritual master academy that mainly focuses on military training, there would be such a beautiful scenery.
Ye Hengyuan slowed down and walked along the small bridge. The small bridge is made of white jade, and each piece of jade has been carefully carved so that the surface is smooth and flat, and you will not make any sound when walking on it. The railing is carved with quaint patterns, and each knife is just right, and there is no trace of over-the-top fire.
In the center of the bridge is a pavilion in the middle of the lake. The melodious sound of the flute came from the small pavilion. Ye Hengyuan was curious, and walked quickly towards the Huxin Pavilion.
In the center of the pavilion is a stone table and four stone benches. On the stone bench, there was a young girl.
She was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with long, blonde hair that was vertical and supple, naturally combed into two ponytails at the back of her head. Her eyes were also golden, as bright as the sun. Her facial features are as if they have been carved by skilled craftsmen, the proportions are just right, her eyebrows are like willow leaves, and her lips are like red flowers. Two small dimples faintly peeked out of her mouth. She wore a brand new women's uniform, with a turquoise top and a pale green skirt. Two small white hands held a golden bamboo flute and blew gently. The sound of the flute became more and more melodious, like a stream in the crack of the mountain, slowly crossing the bluestone in the river, quiet and far-reaching.
Ye Hengyuan was stunned and stunned, and moved forward step by step. He had never seen such a delicate and lovely girl, and he was a little panicked for a while.
Seeing that Ye Hengyuan walked to the front of the Huxin Pavilion, the delicate girl put away the bamboo flute in her hand, jumped up from the stone bench, and looked at Ye Hengyuan with a smile.
"How's that?
"Uh......" Ye Hengyuan was stunned for a moment, took a step back, and his face flushed slightly, "Okay...... Nice ......"
"What's wrong with you? Excuse me?" the girl glared at a pair of big watery eyes, "Haven't you heard?"
"No, no......" Ye Hengyuan shook his head, "I haven't heard the flute......"
"Where are you from? This kind of flute is only sold in Cangling City. ”
"Uh......" Ye Hengyuan scratched his face a little embarrassed, "I grew up in Qingyan Town...... On the side of Cangyan Province......"
"Oh, Qingyan Town?" the girl was surprised, "Isn't there a sneak attack by the enemy......?" You are ......"
Ye Hengyuan's face darkened, and he sat down on the stone bench, lowered his head, put his hands on his knees, and stared blankly at the jade slab under his feet.
"I'm being taught...... Rescued by a general. He brought me here and begged the dean to approve my admission. ”
The girl sat next to Ye Hengyuan and tilted her head to look at his side face. She scrutinized his handsome face, jet-black hair, and turquoise eyes.
"The whole town was destroyed. I will definitely take revenge. ”
He clenched his fists, and every word rang out.
"Are you new to school? Me too. ”
Ye Hengyuan turned his head and looked at her. In the position of her slightly bulging breasts, there is also an embroidered ball pattern. It's just that her pattern is golden, not the same as her own turquoise.
"It's a sign of light," she said with a smile, "and it means that my spiritual power is a light attribute." Your spiritual power is the wind attribute, right?"
"Hmm. Ye Hengyuan nodded solemnly.
"What kind of spirit master do you want to be, attack, defensive, or support?"
"Hmm......" Ye Hengyuan thought for a while, "It should be...... Aggressive, right, what about you?"
"Me too," she smiled shallowly, revealing six white teeth, "My name is Xue Mengyi, the dream of dreams, the joy of heart." What about you?"
"I ...... My name is Ye Hengyuan. ”
"I'll go back to the dormitory first. You haven't chosen a course yet, have you? See you tomorrow. ”
Xue Mengyi jumped up from the stone bench lightly and ran in the direction of the dormitory. A refreshing smell of light mixed with a faint fragrance emanated from her body, diffusing into the air.
Ye Hengyuan subconsciously sniffed a few times. He was a little distracted, staring blankly at the direction Xue Mengyi left. A wonderful feeling came out of his heart
