Chapter 67: The Ice Age
The light of the stars swayed down, illuminating the whole world, and the time of day arrived.
Li Chen took out his coat and put it on, opened the formation and went out.
The daytime temperature is a little lacking, and the traces of the ice age are already beginning to appear.
Passing through the stone path among the greenery, stepping on the carved deer cloud road in front of the main hall, a tall building will appear in front of you.
Li Chen stepped into it.
The building has an extremely retro appearance.
Four huge logs, painted with red sesame oil, support the building, and the wooden planks are embedded in the outer walls, which are carved with flowers, mountains, rocks and rare trees.
Inside the main entrance stands a huge screen, and on top of the screen, two incomparably huge beasts are carved.
The pale blue fangs rose to its feet, and countless waves of water rippled around it, like the king of water.
The long red tiger spewed flames roared, and the whole world seemed to be consumed by his flames.
The visual effects were extremely shocking, so that Li Chen couldn't help but stop and admire.
The interior of the building is poorly lit and somewhat dim
The lighting is made of candles made of oil fish and expensive night pearls, and the halo of oil lamps and night pearls is not enough to make the building completely bright, but rather a little groggy and cold.
In addition, there are almost no people in the building, and it is very deserted.
This is the residence of the head of the university.
The only person in this academy who needs to meet the elderly governor is probably Li Chen.
The governor of the Qilin Academy itself only means heritage and experience, and it is a general existence of hole cards, but it is actually some kind of alternative "Taishang Elder".
He is mainly responsible for attending some more important occasions, supporting the façade, and easily not going out of the mountain.
Therefore, except for the governor and the workers who came to maintain the building in the morning and evening, almost no one else was willing to come, not to mention that the cold environment of this place was already disliked by ordinary people.
As soon as Li Chen stepped into the building inside, a trembling person leaning against the pillar and waiting, immediately opened his cloudy eyes.
He was very old, and the visible old age spots and folds covered his face, and he walked towards Li Chen tremblingly with his cane.
Li Chen was a little surprised, is this governor a little too old? He hurriedly greeted him and hugged the old man who was about to fall.
The expected family carnival did not appear, the principal did not pat Li Chen's hand and say something encouraging to the young people with relief, and Li Chen did not look like he was listening.
The principal's expression was a little frightened, which made his already wrinkled face a little hideous, and he struggled to speak: "Dust immortals, you are immortals, the old man is mortal, immortals are humble, how can you support me as an old man!" ”
Yes, you know, he is an extremely stubborn old man, and he has a fight with his village chief, Li Chen is a little distressed.
Li Chen didn't let go of the principal's hand, but just explained, "How can you say that? Now that you are a teacher and I am a student, why not be supported by the student? ”
The principal's thinking is deep-rooted, how can he be persuaded by Li Chen's words.
For him, the immortal is the existence of heaven, he came to solve the doubts of the immortal, that is the supreme glory, the immortal needs him is his honor, how dare he call the teacher?
But it is still the same sentence, Li Chen is an immortal, an existence that must be respected, since he has spoken, then he is right, the governor will naturally not refute, on the contrary, he will follow Li Chen's meaning, although he is called a teacher by an immortal, there is still a little bit of shame in his heart.
Helping the old man into the back room, the wooden floor creaked, and the back room was a very spacious space.
The floor was a little resting on the floor, but in the room there was a small table with a large pile of books and a cosy chair next to it.
For an ascetic like the governor, living in such a house is for the sake of the façade of the school, and this stool is completely prepared for Li Chen, who usually sits cross-legged on the ground and cultivates.
The principal naturally didn't want to sit down first, but watched Li Chen sit down, and then he sat down, leaving Li Chen speechless for a while.
In fact, today, Li Chen has been an immortal for a long time, but he has met a lot of people, and in general, there are roughly three attitudes towards him.
In young people, the immortals will make them fearful, but with a little communication, they can also form a more reciprocal communication relationship with the immortals, which is probably because of the influence of information modernization.
Or like the old village chief, he has been familiar with Li Chen since he was a child, he will be in awe and happy about Li Chen becoming an immortal, if Li Chen is willing to communicate with him on an equal footing, or even regard him as a senior, then he will naturally quickly overcome the fear in his heart.
And this last one, like the principal, is that his thinking is more old-fashioned, and second, he is not familiar with Li Chen, so it actually takes a lot of time for the two to build a more suitable and reciprocal relationship.
"What is the dust fairy here for? Although the old decay is far inferior to the dust fairy, in terms of knowledge, he also has a little research, and he will be able to answer questions for the dust fairy. ”
The aged spots lifted the tea set on the table with both hands and began to make tea for Li Chen.
The crumpled tea leaves were immersed in water, and soon they stretched out their bodies, becoming green and beautiful, with a rich tea fragrance, which was sniffed into Li Chen's nose.
Li Chen raised his eyebrows slightly: "Didn't Emperor Yu say it?" ”
"Your Majesty only said that His Excellency Dust Immortal wants to communicate with the old decay academically, and did not specifically mention it." The headmaster's old cheeks finally had a hint of a smile, and it seemed that the recognition of Yuhuang and Li Chen was very useful.
After all, this represents his excellent academic attainments!
Li Chen pondered for a long time, decided not to make excuses, and said honestly: "I'm here to read and write......"
The principal's smile froze on his face, his face was full of ravines, and he experienced various forms such as sluggishness, surprise, disbelief, and doubt, and finally, he sighed leisurely.
After turning around and leaving for a while, he took out a huge dictionary and explained it to Li Chen......
……
When the sunlight crosses the central axis of the sky, it means that the time has exceeded two hours.
At distant latitudes, huge bright stars erupted with scorching light, but the ice-blue film that spread from the void remained untouched.
A slightly cold wind crept in through the cracks between the buildings, and it was noon, but the old headmaster shivered with cold.
He put on his thick clothes and flipped the dictionary to page 400, and even a person of high moral standing like him had to admit that he was jealous of Li Chen's memory.
Now the principal only needs to read all the words on the dictionary, and Li Chen can remember the meaning of the words, and it won't take a few days for this thick dictionary to be completely memorized by him.
And the grammar, Li Chen has already mastered it, in fact, this work can be done by any person, but Emperor Yu prefers to arrange a governor for him...
After learning for a while, Li Chen, who had learned nearly half of it, yawned boredly, he was not a person who was willing to waste a day on the same thing from beginning to end, it was too boring.
Therefore, after communicating with the principal, it is better to occupy two hours for low-level learning such as literacy, and do the rest of the time.
Li Chen felt the slight drop in temperature, held the dictionary, flipped through it casually, and asked, "Does the principal know the origin of this ice age?" ”
The principal was slightly stunned, and sighed a little, it turned out that his professional knowledge could still come in handy, and he was suddenly a little relieved, the old language had its own magic:
According to some ancient and extremely precious ancient books, the age of the mainland has been strictly divided from beginning to end.
And between every two epochs, there is a fixed dark age without light and heat, which exists forever, born from the decline of the old era and passed away from the birth of the new era.
Due to the lack of information, it is fully summarized as the Dark Age group.
For example, we are now in the present century, and the current century was preceded by the ancient gods, and there was a long dark age between the two, known as the ninth dark age.
The appearance of the Ice Age was much earlier than the Gray Age, which was a strange phenomenon that only appeared in the present world for nearly a thousand years, and the appearance of the Ice Age was enough to trace back to the Ninth Dark Period.
In the few stone paintings left from the Dark Ages, there are numerous accounts of the Ice Age.
In that era when there was no light and food resources were extremely scarce.
The lethality of the Ice Age is jaw-dropping, and a large family of thousands of people may lose eighty percent or more of the population during a cold Ice Age, or even more.
This is an extremely frightening number, the Terrans were on the verge of extinction at that time, and the Terrans were close to extinction after only two real outbreaks during the Ice Age.
Fortunately, many intelligent human ancestors found the geothermal hotspot and survived with the help of the heat and resources of the geothermal hotspot.
However, the horrors of the Ice Age are deeply seared into people's minds, so the Ice Age is also known as the Ice Death in the Dark Age.
With the fall of the kingdom of science and technology thousands of years ago, the development of modern technology has given mankind more means of observation, and the origin of the ice age has also been discovered.
Unlike the scorching star, even if countless people speculate that it is a surviving seventh or even eighth jin, the outer light and endless radiation hinder the argument, so there has been no decisive discussion about this scorching sun, which is always high in the sky.
But the source of the Ice Age has always been visible.
It was the corpse of a supreme being, curled up between the scorching sun and the continent, and a corpse would disappear into the void in the first few months of a full cycle year.
In the last four months of the cycle year, the corpse will emerge from the void and become reality.
Boundless, wave-like ice spread from the gigantic corpse, blocking the day's rays and causing the continent to plummet.
Experts who focus on the study of the Ice Age believe that this huge corpse must have been closer to the continent than it is now in the Ninth Dark Age, and the ice layer it extended must have passed through the dense aura and really entered the continent, freezing hundreds of millions of living beings before it received the title of Ice Death.
