After two months of tiring travel, when Qin Yu returned to Liyang, the season had already entered winter.

The soldiers guarding the city gates, wearing thick military uniforms, scrutinized everyone who entered and exited the city gates with sharp eyes.

Since the demon incident happened a year ago, Liyang has been under martial law.

If the people who enter the city are completely new faces, they will be subject to very strict scrutiny.

It is said that such a situation occurred because after investigation, those evil cults that suddenly appeared were deliberately brought into Liyang by someone to cause panic among the people.

In order to more strictly control the people entering the city, the three major academies in Liyang will also take turns to send disciples from the academies to the four city gates to assist.

Qin Yu walked the east gate of Liyang, also known as Xuanyang Gate.

The reason why we have to go through this city gate is also because the Egret Academy is responsible for the safety of this city gate.

As soon as I entered the city gate, I saw two students dressed in scribe's robes with the word "white" embroidered on their chests.

Qin Yu hurriedly stepped forward, gave a deep salute, and said, "Qin Yu, I have seen Senior Brother Zhang and Senior Brother Wang, but I didn't expect that there were actually two senior brothers here today. ”

Zhang Miao and Wang Yu, these two are the two disciples of Bailu Academy in recent years, who have already stepped into the realm of "scribes" at the age of twenty-four, and they were famous in Liyang for a while.

The two of them were highly gifted, and they were deeply loved by the dean and several great Confucians, and were given high expectations, and in terms of academics, they were personally guided by several great Confucians in the academy.

Now that he appeared here, how could Qin Yu not be surprised.

Zhang Miao is a gentle and humble gentleman, with great demeanor in every word and deed, and said gently:

"Hehe, it turned out to be Senior Brother Qin, how did the affairs of Tongcheng County go."

"Thank you Senior Brother Zhang for your concern, although there are some twists and turns, but it has been dealt with." Qin Yu arched his hand.

Wang Yu, who was standing on the side, frowned slightly, remembering some of Qin Yu's reputation in Liyang, and couldn't help asking:

"I haven't done anything that dishonors the reputation of the Academy."

Zhang Miao heard Wang Yu's questioning, glanced back at him, and sighed helplessly.

Qin Yu was not annoyed, after all, this Senior Brother Wang could be said to be very rigid.

According to other senior brothers, this person seems to be an orphan, adopted by the previous dean, and has grown up in the academy since he was a child, and has already regarded the Egret Academy as his home, and he cannot tolerate a stain on his reputation.

For this kind of person, Qin Yu admires him very much, although he is a little pedantic, but he is also very kind to other students in the academy on weekdays.

However, when he met Qin Yu, this kindness became severe, and Yan Ran was like a stern elder brother.

"What Senior Brother Wang said, Senior Brother exterminated the demon in the deep mountains and old forests, and no one saw it, and there was absolutely no discrediting the reputation of the Egret Academy."

Seeing Qin Yu's hippie smiling face, Wang Yu's calm state of mind for many years couldn't help but fluctuate slightly, and a nameless fire burst up.

Secretly calming down, Wang Yu snorted lightly and did not continue.

This is not a academy, there are other people who come and go, if you reprimand it in the street, it will inevitably attract criticism behind your back and damage the reputation of the academy.

Seeing that Wang Yu was no longer talking, Zhang Miao immediately said: "Senior Brother Qin, it's not too early, you better go back to the academy as soon as possible and report the affairs of Tongcheng County to the University Entrance Examination." ”

Hearing this, Qin Yu also reacted immediately, and after confessing his guilt, he hurriedly merged into the crowd and left here.

"Look at it, look at it, as a Confucian student, you should always pay attention to your demeanor, just like that, if it is known by other academies, it will simply discredit the Egret Academy."

"Senior Brother Wang, Senior Brother Qin has traveled thousands of miles, and it is reasonable for him to have this appearance when he is tired, and it benefits the local people, isn't it also to promote the reputation of our academy."

Zhang Miao softly comforted.

Wang Yu shook his head lightly, looked at the people coming and going, and suddenly said:

"Before Senior Brother Qin was attacked a few years ago, although he couldn't keep up with his studies, he also had good demeanor and demeanor, but now, although his studies have progressed and he has given birth to literary luck, this virtue is very different, and I don't know what is going on."

"Senior Brother Qin suffered this great disaster, and some changes are normal, besides, Senior Brother Qin has been running around for the past year, eliminating demons and subduing demons, what he has done is a great good, so he must be more tolerant."

Wang Yu glanced at Zhang Miao, pondered, and nodded after a long while.

"It's a pity that you and I can't do this great good, even if we stay here and do some of our modest efforts, we have repeatedly asked for it."

"Don't talk about this, even if it's only a small effort, you have to be responsible."

Zhang Miao's words made Wang Yu nod in agreement, and then the two stopped talking.

....

"Master Xuekao, after more than a dozen murders in Tongcheng County, they were indeed committed by a resentful ghost in the mountains, but the resentful ghost was driven by a wolf demon in the mountain, and the disciple has already killed a demon and a wolf."

In the wing room of the Egret Academy, Qin Yu stood respectfully in it and respectfully reported the situation of Tongcheng County and his party.

And in front of Qin Yu, a middle-aged man with a thoughtful appearance, after hearing these words, a smile appeared on his face, nodded and said:

"This trip is really hard for you, in July next year, the three courts will compete, and the winners will have the opportunity to go to the palace dragon pool to take a bath, and I have already helped you win a place in the competition, so you can prepare well during this time."

"Dare to ask the master of the academic examination, I don't know what the purpose of this dragon pool bath?"

"You can improve the realm, as for how much you can improve, it depends on your personal perception, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, although your qualifications are not good, but if you can get the dragon qi cleansing, it will be of great benefit to you."

Qin Yu gave a deep salute to show his gratitude, but he had some expectations for this dragon pool in his heart, but he was still clear about his own strength, and if he wanted to stand out in the three courtyards, he was afraid that it would not be so easy.

"Thank you for your trouble, but the disciple's knowledge is shallow, I'm afraid I have negative expectations."

"Don't have any psychological pressure, just prepare well."

Hearing this, Qin Yu only said yes, and didn't say anything more, and after saying goodbye, he left here.

Leave the wing room and walk towards the front yard.

The sound of reading keeps coming from all directions.

Qin Yu knows his own situation very well, if he wants to stand out in the competition of the three academies next year, it will definitely not be enough to rely on the current realm.

If, like other students, just by figuring out the Confucian classics, you can improve your literary fortune and break through the realm, then it is naturally great.

But for Qin Yu, if he wants to break through the realm, he must kill enough evil ghosts and souls to gain experience points in order to break through successfully.

Although the method is straightforward and clear, the risks faced in it are countless, and if you are not careful, you may die in the foot of the mountain, and you will not even have a whole corpse.

"Or just mix it up? As for this dragon pool, it doesn't seem to be of any special use to himself, even if he can wash his body and deepen his affinity for luck, but he doesn't point to reading. ”

Qin Yu touched his chin and thought so.

But as soon as this idea came to mind, he directly denied it.

Let's not talk about anything else, if this dragon pool is really good for you, and you can even increase your experience points, wouldn't it be too much of a loss.

"It's hard to choose."

Qin Yu sighed, went back to the room directly, put these questions behind, and prepared to sleep well first, and wait for tomorrow to talk about big things.
