In fact, Lin Yan and the others came relatively early, so there are not many people coming at the moment. As time passed, many teachers and students came one after another, and the venue gradually became a little crowded.

These are all notified to come to the funeral, and under normal circumstances, as long as they are currently in the academy and there are no urgent tasks, they are not allowed to be absent.

The place where everyone gathered this time was not the usual school building, but in a square, and a huge black stone monument was erected in the center of the field.

The stele is nameless, but the inscription on it is famous, because it is full of the names of those who died in previous missions.

These names are arranged from top to bottom according to the size of their merits, on the one hand, for recognition, and on the other hand, for future generations to admire and learn from, and to pass on the will of their predecessors.

The material of this monument is black steel stone, although it is stone, but it is stronger than steel, and it is difficult for external forces to cause damage to it.

The text on this can only be engraved at least above the acquired realm, you know, the strong people of the acquired realm are strong in other places, but they are placed here

"Stone carver". Lin Yan looked up, Liu Chuang's name was impressively listed, but what made him frown slightly was that judging from Liu Chuang's amazing record this time, it was only in the middle of the stone tablet, which obviously had some problems.

"Is it really because of Xuantian Sect?" Lin Yan thought secretly in his heart. Originally, with Liu Chuang's record, his name should not be ranked in the forefront, at least he should be in the upper reaches, and the reason why this is the result now shows that the academy has made a certain degree of compromise in order to take care of Xuantian Sect.

Although Lin Yan has a grudge against this kind of thing, he has no good way. Because after all, the Xuantian Sect is powerful, and the academy is not a person, but an organization, and the people in it have their own ideas, and the decisions they make are also considered in many aspects.

so-called

"Jianghu" is not only about fighting and killing, but also about human sophistication. Since you want to negotiate with Xuantian Sect and negotiate a plan that is satisfactory to both parties, you can't let Xuantian Sect offend to death, and you have to leave room for the other party, and the ranking of this stone tablet is a reflection of one aspect.

Slowly moving down, Lin Yan saw Qian Duoduo's name at the bottom of the stele, although the ranking was not high, but it could be regarded as leaving his own mark in the history of the academy, and it lived up to his original wish!

A little higher, Lin Yan also saw the names of Yu Yu and the other victims in this mission.

These names seem to have life, shining in the sun! Not long after, Vice Dean Meng Yifan and a group of high-level officials of the academy arrived and began to treat the warriors

"Farewell"! Different from the folk funeral etiquette, the academy did not do a big job, nor did it prepare a feast to entertain guests, but everything was simple!

In fact, the bodies of these sacrificial students have already been brought back by their families for burial, and what remains here is just a name.

The chamber of commerce of more than Qian Duoduo also had shops in Chang'an, and after getting the news, the chamber of commerce sent someone to take away his body.

Due to the long journey to bring him home for burial, he had no choice but to cremate his body, and someone brought back the jar containing his ashes.

It is said that because Qian Duoduo did not want his son to inherit his father's business, he had to join the academy, which made the father and son very unhappy.

Now that the white-haired man is sending the black-haired man, this stubborn father finally broke out emotionally at the moment he saw his son's bones, tears burst out of his eyes, and the contradictions between father and son melted like ice and snow.

At the moment he is proud of this son! Of course, that's all for later! At this moment, Lin Yan stood under this huge stone monument, looking at the names on it that he might or may not know, and his emotions were gradually infected.

At this time, Meng Yifan spoke:

"Thank you very much for joining us today!"

"This stele in front of you, it has no name, but it is engraved with the names of heroes, and it is the pride of our academy!"

"Today, here, some new names have been added to the monument. You may or may not know each other, but they all turned their lives into names on this monument. I dare say, they are real warriors! The teachers and students in the square were infected by Meng Yifan's words, and a sad atmosphere quickly spread...... Meng Yifan paused, and then said:

"Although they went, they used their lives to interpret what it means to be a 'literati', and this is our example!" After speaking, Meng Yifan took the lead in solemnly bowing to the tall stone stele.

At this moment, even the academicians who were above the top did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and they all saluted solemnly like Meng Yifan.

As for the other teachers and students, they naturally did the same, no matter how prickly the students were on weekdays, they did not dare to make any inappropriate behavior in such a solemn occasion today.

In an instant, everyone in the field saluted at the same time to the stone tablet, and the scene was spectacular and eye-catching! Under such a serious atmosphere in the field, a sudden voice sounded out of place!

"Yo, so many people are gathered here, it's quite lively!" Hearing this, both the students and the teachers in the audience were glaring!

In such a solemn atmosphere, on such a solemn occasion, who would dare to make such a joke?

Under the gaze of everyone, I saw a team of people and horses walking over leisurely! The reason why he said this was because he was not wearing the blue-gray robe of an ordinary Taoist priest, nor was he a pure white robe like Xuantian Sect.

On top of the white robe, there are many strange things, such as flowers, birds, fish, insects, rare and exotic beasts.

It is as if the robe is used as a drawing board, and the patterns on it are like children's graffiti. Looking at this strange guy who suddenly appeared, most of the people present were puzzled and didn't understand where this guy came from.

It's just that, judging from the white-robed Taoist priest behind him, this person should have nothing to do with Xuantian Sect!

And some people who knew his identity, the moment they saw him appear, their mood became extremely unhappy!

This person's name is Hua Yan, Dao No

"Wu Zhi" is an elder of the Xuantian Sect, a member of the House of Elders. But what really disgusted those who knew him was not his identity, but his way of doing things.

Unlike other Taoist priests in Xuantian Sect, they are generally dressed in white at all times, plain and elegant, revealing such an aura of being a master outside the world.

He always likes to tinker with strange things on his clothes, and he is more dissolute.

As a Taoist priest, not only is wine and meat not taboo, but he even often lingers in the land of fireworks. This made the Taoists who were in his same sect full of contempt for him, and even some disciples did not want to see him.

The high-ranking members of the sect have reprimanded him by name many times, but this person still does his own thing, and over time, no one cares about him.

However, even so, this person's strength is not weak, and in the late stage of the Innate Realm, he is definitely a good hand in the Xuantian Sect.

Not only that, he seems to act dissolutely, but he is deep-minded, and there is almost no record of missing a mission when he goes out on a mission.

Moreover, whenever he encounters his opponents, the end is extremely miserable. Not only physically, but also psychologically, he was completely played by this guy until he collapsed and did not stop, even in the sect, it is a disgusting and terrifying existence!

This person chose such a time to come, what did he want to do? Meng Yifan's eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice:

"What do you Xuantian Sect mean?" I saw that Hua Yan observed left and right, and then stretched out a finger to point at his nose, and said in surprise:

"Me? Oh, my Dean Meng, how dare I mean anything! ”

"You also know that I don't have any status in Xuantian Sect, I'm just an idler! No, the sect sent me as a representative to mourn. You see, all of us are dressed in white, solemn enough! Everyone present was not stupid, and they could naturally hear that although this rhetoric seemed to be humble, it was actually full of ridicule and provocation.

This is also normal, just with the conflict between Liu Chuang and Xuantian Sect this time, how could two elders die on the latter's side, how could they easily swallow this evil breath.

If they sincerely came to pay tribute to Liu Chuang and them, then they were really kicked in the head by a donkey, and they had to be kicked by a donkey who knew martial arts in a 360-degree roundabout!

Because, it's impossible! Normal people can't do it, and people with brains won't believe it!

However, this rhetoric is still doing this, which means that he must have a plan for this trip! At this time, Meng Yifan's face was gloomy and terrifying, if he hadn't had too many scruples, he really wanted to slap this yin and yang weird thing to death with one palm.

Just thinking of the possible consequences due to his momentary mood, Meng Yifan still took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

After all, as the vice president of the academy, he represented the entire academy at this time, not him personally, and he couldn't act as he pleased!

Meng Yifan waved his sleeves and said:

"Hua Yan, my academy has important matters today, and it is inconvenient to entertain guests, if you are here to say these boring things, then please go back!" Here

The "eviction order" has been issued, Hua Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he changed to the cheap smile he had before, and said:

"Dean Meng, today it is really poor Dao and others who are abrupt! However, my intention to come to pay respects is real! Seeing that Meng Yifan's eyes were getting colder and colder, he changed his words and said:

"But other than that, I really have a little thing to wait for today!"

"Abyss and his party, the disciples of my sect have great respect for a student named Lin Yan in your courtyard, and he actually shook the 'demon bone' with the cultivation of the Tongmai Realm, which is really admirable, and he deserves to be a 'hero out of a boy'!"

"Therefore, my sect intends to invite Lin Yan Xiaoyou to enter the mountain gate for an exchange, and it will also open the eyes of those disciples who have not made it, I believe that Dean Meng will not refuse, right?" When Meng Yifan heard this, the momentum on his body suddenly and completely exploded, and everyone present was instantly shrouded in an extremely strong pressure, and the first to bear the brunt was that Huayan.

He also didn't expect Meng Yifan to be ready to do it without saying a word, which was different from what he had imagined before!

At this time, what Meng Yifan thought in his heart was: The academy paid the price of the five king-level exercises before, and I thought that this incident had been temporarily revealed, but who knew that this Xuantian Sect had changed an excuse and actually came, is this because my academy is muddy!

There was another point that he was very puzzled about, originally Xuantian Sect also understood that the all-out conflict with the academy was not worth the loss. In the case that Zhou Luxi was dead, Lin Yan got it

Xuantian Sect should not know about the matter of "Gengjin Qi". Therefore, the two sides also agreed to peace talks, but the academy also paid some price for it.

But Meng Yifan believes that compared to Lin Yan, these costs are worth it! And for Lin Yan's safety, when he discussed with the academicians of the academy, he did not tell Lin Yan's specific income, but only said that he got the treasure in the relic pillar of light, which was also to increase the bargaining chips and make these old guys agree to protect Lin Yan.

However, now Xuantian Sect has reversed course and came to ask for Lin Yan unusually. This means that someone has leaked the news.

In the academy, there are ghosts!
