Chapter Ninety-Six: Qingcheng Martial Academy

Gu Xing saw Li Jiu coming back, and his face was full of joy, knowing that there was something good, he was busy pouring him tea, and then listened to Li Jiu speak: "Inquire, it turns out that the Qingcheng Martial Academy has expanded its disciples this time, and it is a large number of expansions, which has not been done since the establishment of the academy, in this case, I should go back to the village, and let the patriarch send all the children under the age of sixteen in the village over, and they will definitely be included, so that the strength of our village will also have a big leap." Li Jiu said excitedly, his face was full of red light.

Gu Xing frowned slightly, when is this abnormal phenomenon a good thing? But everything is abnormal, there must be weirdness, so he opened his mouth to persuade: "Uncle Lijiu, don't worry, anyway, we have come out so far, running back and forth to delay time, and when Cangnan is delivered, you can inquire with the insiders of the Martial Academy, and then make a decision, okay?"

Li Jiu heard this, but he no longer spoke, but lowered his head to think about something, and after a long time, he finally made a decision: "Gu Xing, I have to trouble you this time, I have a map to go to Qingcheng Martial Academy, you will take Nan'er to the Martial Academy first, I will return to the village immediately, please ask the old patriarch, if you can, you will take all the eligible children in the village to go, if you run back and forth, I am afraid that I will miss the time." ”

When Gu Xing heard this, he hurriedly objected: "Uncle Li, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, according to what you said, this martial academy has not recruited such a large number of disciples since its establishment, what is their purpose in doing this? The old man often said: 'If something is abnormal, there must be a demon', so it's too late for us to go to the martial academy to see the situation before making plans." ”

"No need, the Martial Academy has suddenly increased the quota this time, our village can't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, even if there are any demons, don't be afraid. As he spoke, he took out a piece of animal skin from his pocket and put it in front of Gu Xing, and then instructed Li Cangnan on the side: "Nan'er, listen to Brother Gu Xing's words more along the way, don't mess around, you must report to the Martial Academy, if I tell you at home, you can just do it when the time comes, and this time my father will take your Brother Lu and them to the Martial Academy." ”

When Li Cangnan heard this, he was immediately overjoyed: "Okay, okay, I must listen to Brother Gu Xing's words, father, I must bring them all." Li Jiu nodded, turned back to Gu Xing and said: "Gu Xing, you can't stay for a moment, the carriage is left for you, and the money for accommodation is in the baggage, and the letter of recommendation is also there, you take Nan'er, just follow the map, there are a lot of people along the way, don't meddle in your affairs, it's okay." ”

Seeing Li Jiu's firm and solemn appearance, Gu Xing knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he couldn't help but sigh lightly and nodded: "Okay, Uncle Li, don't worry, Cangnan will send him to the Martial Academy safely." ”

Li Jiu saw Gu Xing agree, and was immediately overjoyed: "Okay, thank you little brother, I'll leave now." After saying that, he didn't eat, took something from his baggage and hurried downstairs.

Gu Xingleng was stunned for a long time, and he couldn't understand what the truth was that Li Jiu went out to inquire and made such a decision, and felt that there was a gaze staring at him, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look, and saw that Li Cangnan had been staring at him, and suddenly felt bored: "Okay, your father is gone, let's eat, let's eat too, eat enough, rest early, and we will set off early tomorrow." Anyway, regardless of Li Cangnan, he picked up the chopsticks alone and began to eat, Li Cangnan looked at Gu Xing for a while before he began to eat.

After the two of them had eaten and drunk enough, Gu Xing arranged for Li Cangnan to sleep in the inner room, while he lay down in the outer room, and he couldn't sleep for a long time after tossing and turning, and finally, he simply got up and cultivated cross-legged.

A safe night, early in the morning, Gu Xing heard someone walking outside the room, so he also got up to freshen up, heard that Li Cangnan in the inner room also got up, looked at the middle room, ignored him, went out to find a buddy, ordered food, and asked for some dry food, water and other things to eat on the road.

The two of them were also neat, after eating, Gu Xing put the package brought out by Li Jiu into the storage ring, and those dry food and water bottles were also put away, seeing the ignorant look on Li Cangnan's face, he didn't explain, pulled him out of the room, found the carriage that the little guy had set, drove away from the shop, and waited for the road, Gu Xing took out the map, observed carefully, the route was clear, and the place where the painting was drawn was also marked with the name of the place, and along the way, Gu Xing also saw a lot of cars and horses, some people rode alone, some people drove like Gu Xing, and some people actually rode the beasts that Gu Xing didn't know to run forward, Gu Xing admired the wonder of this world while driving the carAt first, I was a little uncomfortable, but after walking out for about a hundred miles, I got used to the skill of setting up a carriage, and the speed also increased.

There were no words along the way, and there were no accidents, so many people simply went to the Martial Academy, and Gu Xing arrived in Qingcheng surprisingly safely. When he found the Qingcheng Martial Academy, Gu Xing was taken aback, and saw that there were a lot of people gathered at the gate of the Martial Academy, standing on the carriage, Gu Xing saw that there were more than a dozen tables lined up in the courtyard, and there were three people behind each table, busy recording something. Seeing this, Gu Xing had no choice but to ask Li Cangnan: "Do you know who we should go to at this time?" Because Gu Xing remembered that Li Jiu had instructed this kid to do what he said when he arrived at the place.

Li Cangnan nodded, and then whispered to Gu Xing: "Let's go to the back door, and we'll go from there." Following Li Cangnan's guidance, Gu Xing hesitated, there seemed to be some emptiness over there, and there was no one, but after hesitating, Gu Xing turned his horse's head and went there.

Bypassing that intersection, it was suddenly much empty, not to mention people, even dogs, looking at the deep alley, Gu Xing asked with some uncertainty: "You mean this road?

"I haven't been here, but it's the path my father has shown me, and it's certainly right. Looking at Li Cangnan's affirmative tone, Gu Xing no longer questioned, and urged the horse to go there, the farther this road got away from the martial arts academy, Gu Xing didn't ask again, anyway, this kid won't lie to himself, this run has passed more than half an hour, Gu Xing was a little surprised, although this horse is not letting go, but this speed is definitely not slow, such a long distance, how far does this have to run? I haven't seen the so-called back door, it's just that these two sides are high walls, stone walls, Gu Xing can detect that this martial arts academy is absolutely big.

After another half an hour, Gu Xing saw a portal from a distance, and couldn't help but be happy, and soon arrived at the door, and saw that this door was not big, similar to the door of ordinary people's homes, and there was no handwriting on it, so he couldn't help but turn around and ask Li Cangnan: "Is it here?" Li Cangnan nodded, and then without waiting for Gu Xing to do anything, he jumped out of the carriage and walked towards the door, Gu Xing hurriedly jumped down and followed him.

Li Cangnan walked to the door, knocked lightly on the door a few times, then took out an object, wrapped it in a red cloth, and threw it through the crack in the door. Then he took a few steps back and waited quietly.

Gu Xing was also stunned when he saw him doing this, and suddenly, Li Cangnan turned around and said to Gu Xing: "Big brother, your jade pendant is also thrown in." Gu Xing didn't say or ask, and threw the jade pendant given by the patriarch into it.

After waiting like this for a long time, the door didn't open, Gu Xing pricked up his ears and listened, it seemed that no one came, but, then, Gu Xing was happy, heard the sound of the carriage, and then Gu Xing felt wrong, because the sound came from behind, I couldn't help but look back, I saw a car in the distance, and when the carriage was close, two people jumped off the car, an old and a young, the two first glanced at Gu Xing and the two, and did not answer, the young man was the same as Li Cangnan, knocked lightly on the door a few times, and then threw a red cloth bag into the crack of the door, and then stepped aside, and soon, a group of people came, all of which were the same actions as Li Cangnan, Gu Xing looked at these people speechlessly, and wanted to step forward to ask someone, but when he saw Li Cangnan shaking his head, he had to calm down the curiosity in his heart and wait quietly.

When it was almost dark, the door finally opened, and an old man walked out and asked, "Whose jade pendant?" When Gu Xing heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward to signal, and after the old man nodded, he said to the rest of the people: "Those who are sent here can go back, and those who have a letter of recommendation will follow me." After speaking, turning sideways, the teenagers who threw in the red envelopes went in one by one, Gu Xing hurriedly ran to the carriage, pulling the carriage and planning to go in, the old man frowned slightly: "The carriage can't enter." ”

Gu Xing hurriedly said: "This is my own carriage, otherwise I will have to find a place to store it if I enter." ”

The old man saw that it was Gu Xing who spoke, and nodded slightly: "Are you the one who holds the jade pendant?" Gu Xing nodded hurriedly, the old man no longer stopped, and let go a few points, Gu Xing then pulled the carriage and Li Cangnan into the gate together, and when everyone entered the inside, the old man turned around and locked the door, and walked inside with these people.

After walking for a long time, Gu Xing felt that it was almost thirty miles, and then he saw that a room appeared, and the old man arranged these people to arrange Gu Xing alone in an independent courtyard, and then said to Gu Xing: "It's late today, I'll take you to see the dean tomorrow, your situation is special, and the dean needs to decide." Gu Xing nodded, indicating understanding, and the old man left.

Gu Xing looked at the figure in the distance, and sighed a little, this guy, he occupies a single courtyard by himself, and the others are all rows of rooms, there is only one courtyard wall, that is, there are many rooms in a large courtyard, it seems that the jade pendant still has some energy.

After thinking for a while, Gu Xing looked around, the sky was dark and he couldn't see clearly, closed the room, lay on the bed for a while, felt not sleepy, got up again, and began to cultivate.
