Demon Clan?!

Shen Lang was a little surprised, but it was only amazed.

After all, I've seen ghosts and river gods these days, and it seems that it's not surprising to see a demon clan again.

That Bai Yuan's attitude towards Shen Donglai and Yang Bao seemed to be expected, and he didn't seem to mind it in his expression, still with a smile on his face.

However, his gaze skipped over Shen Donglai and Yang Bao, looked at Shen Lang and said: "My lord heard that Shen Gongzi has a work of Zhenguo, and he admires it in his heart, so he sent down to invite Shen Gongzi to talk, and there is no malice." ”

Shen Donglai still wanted to speak, so Shen Lang gently pulled down his sleeve and walked out from behind.

"This Brother Bai Yuan." Shen Lang hugged his fists.

Bai Yuan immediately returned the salute respectfully and said, "Bai Yuan is just a servant of the master, Shen Gongzi can just call me by name." ”

Shen Lang nodded and said: "Brother Bai Yuan, I appreciate the hospitality of your lord, but I have just finished the children's exam, and I still have a lot of things to deal with, and I am afraid that I will not have time to go for the time being." ”

Bai Yuan said with a smile: "Shen Gongzi, I came to say hello first, not to let Shen Gongzi go over immediately." Just wait for Shen Gongzi to notify him when he has time, and I will pick you up immediately. Saying that, he explained again, "Shen Gongzi doesn't need to be careful, my Lishan Academy is a human race, if you go, it is also as a distinguished guest, and my Lishan Academy Palace will definitely be hospitable, and there will never be any slackness." ”

Shen Lang nodded and said, "Okay, if I'm free, I'll definitely go to visit." ”

Seeing that Shen Lang didn't mean to talk much, Bai Yuan hugged his fists and said: "So I will leave, Bai Yuan is waiting for Shen Gongzi in the school palace." ”

As the words fell, he clasped his fists at Shen Donglai and Yang Bao again, and then stepped on the chariot and broke through the air.

Seeing the chariot disappear into the sky, Shen Lang turned to look at Shen Donglai and Yang Bao with a little doubt in his eyes.

Shen Donglai smiled bitterly and said, "Enter the house, I'll tell you about this Lishan Academy Palace slowly." ”

Bai Yuan's sudden visit made Shen Donglai completely put aside the matter of Tong Sheng's test.

The three of them sat in the living room, and Shen Donglai said, "You know the Temple of Literature and the Academy of Literature." ”

Shen Lang nodded and said: "After the saint and the demon clan made a thousand-year covenant without war, they established the Temple of Literature to set up the world. After that, 72 sages traveled all over the world and established 72 literary academies, which were responsible for educating the human race and inheriting Confucianism and Taoism. ”

Shen Donglai said: "That's right, in the next hundred years, the development of the human race was unprecedentedly rapid. The demon clan also saw the benefits of the Academy of Literature at that time, so they followed the example of our human race and established the four university palaces of Lishan, Cangluan, Yusu, and Qingqiu. Of course, because the demon clan itself has many races, and their cultivation methods are also different, they can't completely copy the teaching methods of the Academy, so they summon the demon clans from all over the world to enter, refer to each other's cultivation methods, remove the chaff, and constantly improve their cultivation methods. In the past few hundred years, the effect has been remarkable, and its status in the demon clan is no less than that of the Terran Academy. ”

"What about the Lishan Academy? Listening to what Bai Yuan said, there are still human races in it? Shen Lang wondered.

Shen Donglai said: "Lishan School Palace is different from the other three university palaces, it is rumored that the first ancestor of Lishan School Palace was one of the seventy-two sages, and later this sage passed away, he returned to the territory of the demon clan and established the Lishan School Palace. In addition to helping the demon ancestor cultivate, he also recruited Confucian scholars to inherit the way of the sages, and rarely participated in the disputes between the demon race and the human race on weekdays. ”

Shen Lang was puzzled: "In that case, why do you and Brother Leopard look a little ......?"

"Fearful, isn't it?" Yang Bao smiled, and then continued, "The first generation of the Lishan Academy Palace is such an idea, and the younger generations may not be able to do it. ”

Shen Donglai nodded and said, "In short, the relationship within the Lishan Academy Palace is very complicated, and with the current relationship between my Dongyun Kingdom and the Demon Clan, you should not have too much contact with the Demon Clan." ”

Shen Lang nodded: "I understand." ”

"What's next?" Shen Donglai asked.

Shen Lang said: "I want to go to Uncle Yang's side first, and then come back after the list is released." ”

Shen Donglai muttered angrily: "If you have an old father-in-law, you don't want to kiss your father." ”

"Dad, you are ...... right" Shen Lang couldn't cry or laugh, thought about it and said, "It's mainly from the palace, I'm afraid that staying in the county will be a little troublesome." ”

The palace is powerful, and if you haven't troubled Shen Lang in the past few days, it doesn't mean that you won't look for him in the future. Especially after experiencing the night attack of ghosts that night, Shen Lang was very jealous of Zhao Hao's side.

Last time it was a ghost, what if Zhao Hao came in person next time?

The ghost dragonflies in the misty world were indeed powerful, but Shen Lang was not arrogant enough to think that it could deal with the eight-rank martial artists.

Of course, this is not the problem of the ghost dragonfly, but the talent that Shen Lang can release at his current level is not enough for the ghost dragonfly to exert its true combat power.

But after the list is released, it will be different, even if it is Zhao Hao, it is not so easy to deal with a scholar with fame and literary position.

After having lunch at home, Shen Lang followed Yang Bao back to Yang's house.

Seeing Shen Lang, everyone in the Yang family was shocked.

It wasn't until Yang Bao explained that he made up his mind.

However, there are still some worries, after all, this kind of thing is mostly caused by candidates who can't do the questions. Although Yang Shen didn't say anything, his eyes were also full of worry.

Yang Youqing didn't bother about this, she was surprised and happy when she saw Shen Lang coming. As for whether Shen Lang can pass the Tongsheng test, she doesn't care at all.

After talking to Yang Youqing for a while, Shen Lang returned to the house.

Sit at the table with your fingers tapping on the tabletop.

After a moment, he spread his hand, and a faint mist suddenly filled the room, and a black fruit slowly condensed in his hand.

[Ghost Fruit, ten grades, can summon ghosts at random once. 】

"If you don't try once, you're always at a loss."

Raising his hand and throwing the fruit out, the fruit directly turned into a deep black gas in the air, and soon condensed together.

A strange color flashed in Shen Lang's eyes, and he saw a cat lying on the ground.

The cat's whole body is pure black, and even the eyes are like black gems.

It looked left and right, and immediately found Shen Lang.

I saw that this black cat leaned over, and its body turned into a black mist, and when it appeared again, it had already appeared in Shen Lang's arms.

Shen Lang stroked its back, and it was cold in the hand, but it was extremely smooth.

"Can you understand me?" Shen Lang asked.

The black cat squinted and stretched lazily: "Yes meow." ”

“……”

Shen Lang was silent for a moment, and then said, "What will you do?" ”

"Master, when you enter the misty world, you will know Meow."

Shen Lang did not hesitate, and appeared in the misty world with a slight concentration.

When he looked down, he saw that the black cat had really followed him into here, and was lying at his feet at the moment.

"How can you get in?"

Shen Lang was a little surprised.

"I was born here, so naturally I can come in and meow." The black cat replied.

Shen Lang nodded slightly, leaned over and hugged the black cat.

The moment he touched the black cat, a set of information went straight into his mind.

[Ghost Dao Spirit Cat, Ten Grades, Good at Concealment, Lurking, Spying, and Assassination]

The description is simple, but the content is quite amazing.

"You're going to assassinate again?"

Looking at the black cat in his arms with a lazy posture and rubbing his head against his chest, he didn't believe it.

"Yes, meow." The black cat replied.

Shen Lang thought for a while and said, "Then how is your strength?" ”

"My level is the same as that of the master, and the master is now in the ten-rank student realm, so I am equivalent to having the power of the ten-grade ghost cultivator. In the future, the master's strength will increase, and I will be able to improve my ability as well. ”

Hey, no meow this time?

Shen Lang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly found that he didn't seem to have grasped the point, so he quickly gathered his mind.

"With my strength?"

Shen Lang was really shocked.

I thought it was a disposable consumable, but it turned out to be a growth god?!

Suddenly, his heart moved, and he pointed to the two golden fruits on the dead tree, and said, "Can you see what those two fruits are for?" ”

"Meow!"

Can you say that......

Shen Lang sighed: "What are you doing?" ”

The black cat's black jewel-like eyes flashed with light: "It's two Heavenly Dao Fruit Meows!" ”

"Heavenly Dao Fruit?"

Shen Lang was a little surprised, although he still didn't understand what it was for, but just by hearing the name, he knew that it was definitely not ordinary!

"Tiandao fruit is fed to pets, if the owner you like whom, give this fruit to whoever eats meow!"

The black cat kept rubbing Shen Lang's chest with his head as he spoke.

Shen Lang: ......

"Master, do you like meow?" The black cat tilted its head and looked at Shen Lang with a pair of jewel-like eyes.

Shen Lang's expression remained unchanged, and he said, "By the way, I suddenly remembered just now, you still spying?" ”

"Yes, meow."

"Then can you go to the county town and help me follow someone?"

"Yes...... the black cat licked his lips, "But master, don't you really think about it, if you give me those two Heavenly Dao Fruits, I can become even more powerful!" ”

"How powerful?"

"It's equivalent to a nine-grade ghost cultivation meow." The black cat's eyes sparkled.

Shen Lang's expression remained unchanged, and he said, "That person's name is Zhao Hao, an eight-rank martial artist, you be careful not to be discovered by him." Of course, I should also pay attention to my own safety, and remember to notify me as soon as he has any changes about me. ”

"Oh...... Meow. ”

The black cat glanced at the two golden fruits reluctantly.

Exiting the misty world, Shen Lang put down the black cat, and the black cat turned into a black mist and floated out of the window.

As the black cat disappeared from his eyes, a wonderful feeling suddenly rose in Shen Lang's heart, as if he could change to the black cat's perspective at any time, and even hear the sounds around the black cat.

"Is the ghost way so magical?"

Shen Lang said in surprise.

The names of the two golden fruits are known, but their efficacy is not yet known. The black cat should have known, but it seemed unlikely that he would want to ask anything from it.

However, one thing is certain, the Heavenly Dao Fruit can be eaten, and it can improve the strength of the Ghost Dao, and even the other eight major cultivation systems, and even directly improve the grade.

It's just that I don't know if it's useful for him, the master, to eat it.

Shen Lang pondered for a moment and didn't try.

The preciousness of that Heavenly Dao Fruit can be seen from the performance of the black cat, and it can't be wasted.

At present, it seems that the safest way to improve strength is to improve the grade of Confucianism and Taoism.

It's just that what the Jiupin Confucian habitat needs is calligraphy and an understanding of the sage's classics.

The classic understanding is good to say, Shen Lang has the memory of two lifetimes, and I believe it will not be much worse.

The key is calligraphy.

He pondered for a moment, and his heart moved slightly.

It takes too long to practice calligraphy, can you use the rules of the world and use the calligraphy of your previous life directly?

If there are rules for originality in poetry, why can't there be fonts?

If that's the case, it's a chance to advance to the ninth grade.

Shen Lang has seen a lot of calligraphy in this world, and those saint classics are copied by readers who write well, and the types of calligraphy are obviously different from those in the previous life.

Thinking of this, Shen Lang was a little moved.

Although he had never practiced calligraphy with a brush in his previous life, he still knew the types of fonts he was famous for, and the one that impressed him the most was Yan Ti.

Yan Ti is a kind of regular script, created by the calligrapher Yan Zhenqing in the Tang Dynasty, one of the four regular scripts, rigorous structure, vigorous and powerful, full of beauty. Its characteristics are that the structure is square and dense, the strokes are horizontal and light and vertical, the pen is strong and round, the momentum is solemn and majestic, and the "willow body" of Liu Gongquan is called "Yan Liu", and there is the saying of "Yan muscle and willow bone".

Shen Lang carefully recalled the characteristics of the willow body, and started to practice from the most basic.

This has been more than a month, and the brush has long been used to it, and it doesn't feel rusty to use, the only drawback is that the words are really not good. Even Lin Dong, who valued him a lot, thought that if he wanted to advance to the Nine Rank Confucian Realm, it would take at least four or five years of hard work.

This practice lasted until late at night, when Shen Lang stopped.

After Wen Xinguo was instilled with talent at the meeting, his physical fitness was like being reborn, and he didn't feel tired after writing for four or five hours in a row, but he was a little mentally tired.

Put down the pen and lay down on the bed, and intently sensed the black cat.

I found that the black cat had already entered the county seat, and was wandering outside the yamen at the moment.

"Why don't you go in?" Shen Lang was a little puzzled.

The black cat seemed to be able to sense his heart, and when Shen Lang spoke, it suddenly stopped.

The black cat's response immediately came to my mind: "The county government has a national sports guard, and I can't get in." ”

Shen Lang frowned: "This is a little difficult?" ”

The black cat said: "The main thing is that my strength is too weak now, if the master can ......"

"If you can't get in, forget it, just guard outside."

After speaking, Shen Lang "hung up the phone".

The black cat was immediately embarrassed, and it took a while to show a very humane expression of disgust.

"The master is so stingy!"

It looked at the high wall of the yamen again, but hesitated slightly, and its figure turned into a black mist and rushed in.

The moment he entered the high wall, the hanging white tiger on the screen in the lobby of the county government suddenly opened his eyes.

With a low roar, it pounced on the painting and rushed in the direction of the black cat.

But when it came to the high wall, there was a trace of doubt in its eyes. It sniffed left and right, but found no sign of the enemy.

The white tiger spun around in place a few times before turning into a white light and returning to the screen.

In the shadow of the corner, the figure of the black cat was slowly revealed, looking at the yamen lobby, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, revealing a touch of disdain.

"The guardian of a small county government also wants to find me?"

Soon, it turned into a black mist and headed straight for the back hall.
