Chapter 20: That World, That World
The rest of the students from the various departments finally arrived.
Before that, all the students of the Zhige Department had already eaten again.
At the end of the team, a limping white appeared in Lin Xi's sight. "Lin Xi!" As soon as he saw Lin Xi waiting in line with the other freshmen of the Zhige Department, this little fat man, who had obviously lost a lot of weight, was about to cry.
"Wow!"
But as soon as he heard that everything in this courtyard could be eaten as he pleased, it was just a blink of an eye, and Meng Bai was at the forefront of the team.
Lin Xi saw that Zhang Ping and Xiang Lin were also in the middle of the team, both of them had dishes. When the two of them saw Lin Xi, they immediately nodded to Lin Xi and said hello. Lin Xi's gaze fell on Gao Yanan again.
The girl who made his heart beat a little faster had already untied her cloak at the moment, and her face seemed to be a little thinner, and then she naturally picked out something, and then slowly ate it while rubbing her legs, it seems that the trek of the past few days has also been uncomfortable for her.
"When did you arrive?"
"What have you eaten these days?" After almost eating, people like Meng Bai and Lin Xi, who had a better relationship, naturally began to communicate softly.
"We arrived yesterday... The yellow oryx, and the elk. β
"How did you eat so well?"
"What, did you eat badly, what did you eat?"
"We've eaten everything... Hares, grass roots, snakes and even worms!"
"Huh?" Lin Xi and a group of people from the Zhige Department suddenly stared at each other, and suddenly felt that the black-haired man was much cuter again. It turned out that although they didn't rush to the road, it took a lot of time to learn how to fill their stomachs in the wilderness along the wayβand most importantly, most of them couldn't fill their stomachs.
The theory of the black-robed middle-aged professor is also very simple: only when you are hungry can you remember more clearly what you can eat and what you can't even touch.
"Shouldn't this be what the people in our Zhige Department should learn the most, why do you people in the Wenzhi Department, the Internal Relations Department, and the Tiangong Department have to learn this?" Li Kaiyun couldn't help but secretly asked Xiang Lin, Meng Bai, and Zhang Ping.
Xiang Lin whispered: "There was once a senior brother from the Wenzhi Department who was trapped in a barren valley with a team of border soldiers for half a month, but with these skills that the senior brother of the Wenzhi Department learned in the academy, he survived, and all departments could choose to go to the border army during the trial..."
"When....when....when..."
While most of the freshmen were already chatting with each other in low voices, a crisp snapping sound rang out.
A row of more than two dozen lecturers in black robes walked out of a corridor solemnly and calmly and appeared in front of them.
"Vice Dean Xia", all these lecturers who stepped out bowed and saluted the one-armed old man with a face full of vicissitudes.
The one-armed old man didn't speak, just nodded to the lecturers.
"Everybody lined up in two columns and followed us. β
A black-robed lecturer in his fifties, with a pale face, immediately said a cold word to all the freshmen, and all of them turned around and walked towards the corridor they had walked out of earlier.
The black-robed lecturer's left eye was sunken, there was no light, it was a one-eyed, in addition, there was a long scar on his left cheek, his face and the tone of his voice made many freshmen very frightened, and he immediately automatically lined up in two columns, followed behind Vice Dean Xia and the rest of the professors and lecturers, and followed.
......
All the freshmen, including Lin Xi, kept looking around.
The ground of this corridor is all paved with white marble, every dozens of steps away, there is a relief on the ground, carved with Qingluan and some flower ornaments, all the people have noticed that the traces of wear and tear on these floors are very serious, and the time has been very long.
The halls seemed to be very close, but it was not until they actually walked through them that all the new students realized that they were actually far away.
Some are separated by large areas of wood, while others are separated by rocky slopes.
The courtyard where they were before, in the middle of this hill, was like a city gatehouse.
After walking out of this corridor, the lecturers and professors in front of them walked up a wooden walkway.
The wooden trail runs straight through a forest and through it a huge bell tower.
This bell tower is made of rectangular pieces of yellowstone, and a large bronze bell hangs on the top, and between the gaps in the yellowstone, long artemisia grass grows.
Passing through the bell tower, the wooden walkway branched off in many branches, but the lecturers and professors still walked straight ahead, and at the end of the front was a majestic round hall.
Lin Xi's breathing suddenly froze slightly.
This round hall is a triple roof, the top of the hall is covered with green, yellow, green three-color glass, this is clearly the style of the Temple of Heaven to pray for the New Year!
However, this triple-domed dome hall with almost the same style is three to four times larger than the Temple of Heaven New Year Prayer Hall!
Twenty-eight huge gilded nanmu trees supported the temple, and these lecturers and professors of Qingluan College lifted the hanging curtains and entered the main hall.
The ground is paved with cyan giant bricks, every dozens of steps away on the wall in the hall, there is a row of copper crane-shaped oil lamps, these oil lamps have been lit, the forehead is illuminated transparently, the beams are some reliefs depicting war scenes, on the wall of the top of the east and west halls, there is a picture of a unicorn and a mandarin duck carved on the top of the east and west halls, the back of a middle-aged uncle stands at the head of a broken city wall, outside the city wall, there are dense corpses and armies, the picture is suffocating and shocking.
The inside of the main hall is empty, and twelve bronze lotus platform oil lamps surround a red stone tablet.
"This stele itself is a city wall stone of the Falling Star Mausoleum. The cold voice of the black-robed one-eyed lecturer resounded in this hall, making the hearts of all the freshmen who were still hoping in Dongzhang tremble.
"Line up in front of this stone tablet and accept the admonition left by the dean!"
In a cold voice, Lin Xi lined up in front of this stone tablet.
This is the most important tradition of Qingluan College.
All the freshmen saw the "runes" on this stone tablet, indeed, the "runes" on it were too strange for them to understand at all, but the three words "Dean Zhang" made them feel awe and agitation from the bottom of their hearts.
But just the moment he saw the "runes" on this stone tablet, Lin Xi didn't know what he was feeling in his heart, he didn't know whether he should look up to the sky or cry at this moment.
Because the "runes" on this stone tablet are the simplest simplified Chinese characters for him.
"Fellow, you're finally here, it's not easy... It's so frustrating that even the TV can't explain it..."
This series of characters that even many professors in Qingluan Academy find inexplicable, but they come with the breath of a whole world.
At this moment, he knew that the legendary middle-aged uncle was a traveler from the same place as him. At this moment, he knew that he had not had a long dream, and everything about him was real. He is not alone in this world.
It's a sense of closeness that is hard to suppress.
And he knew that this middle-aged uncle was the same as himself, otherwise he would definitely not have left such a sentence on this stone tablet in the first sentence.
Lin Xi trembled slightly, and looked directly at the once familiar words on the stone tablet and read it.
"I'm from Chongqing, and before I came to this world, I was a high school physics teacher, where are you from, and what did you do before you came?"
"I'm from Wuxi and I'm a student," Lin Xi replied in her heart.
"If you see the inscription on this stone tablet, then I'm definitely not in this Qingluan Academy, uh, this seems like nonsense... But since you can see it, as a fellow from the same place, you shouldn't mind me talking a little more nonsense... Since you are a latecomer, then you shouldn't know as much about the world as I do, right? But unless you are a Ph.D. student specializing in cosmic physics, I advise you not to make any effort to think about what kind of place this is, because I have spent so many years not figuring out that the sun, moon and stars are exactly the same as on the earth, but there seems to be no such dynasty on the earth What kind of parallel universe it is, and it makes no sense to think about what dimensional space it is, my idea is that since I have come, I must live a better life and live a more wonderful life. β
"Uncle, I think the same as you..."Lin Xi said quietly in his heart, as if he was talking to this middle-aged uncle face-to-face.
"You've definitely discovered by now that the people of this world have great fighting power... They call it soul power, of course, I've always understood it as mental power or spiritual power, or you simply understand it as special functions or true qi generated by meditation, internal power, or whatever... It's no exaggeration to say that a slightly more powerful person is useless, so don't think that you can dominate the world with a musket battalion... To be honest, I've tried gunpowder, and there don't seem to be many materials in this world that can make gunpowder, so it's better to cultivate this soul power well... Well, without further ado, the most critical question is, do you have a roulette wheel in your head?"
Lin Xi took a deep breath, this sentence was very abrupt, but it made him feel like crying.
In his mind, he felt a cyan light, like a cyan glowing roulette.
"Well, don't be disappointed if you don't, if you don't, if you don't understand this paragraph, forget it... If so, have you found that you can use it once a day, and you can go back to the time of ten stops each time, which is ten minutes ago?... I've really spent some time researching this, and it's hard for me to deduce what kind of power this 'special function' is produced, but how this thing came to be, I guessed a possibility... It may be that our soul occupies the body of our world, and the soul power of the soul of our world body is combined with the energy that makes us pass through, and this kind of thing is produced... This roulette, from a physical point of view, should also be a kind of energy... And I can tell you very seriously now that this roulette wheel can be pushed little by little."
