Chapter 7 Donglin College
For countless years, human beings have fought heaven and earth on the Shenzhou Continent, composing heroic legends. With tenacious perseverance, the ancestors escaped all kinds of catastrophes, defeated all kinds of alien races, and built a unified and powerful kingdom on the mainland.
No matter how the country changes, it is the Terrans who rule the most vast and wealthy land.
Five hundred years ago, the Jin ancestors sprung up, seized power from the Tang people, and established the Jin Dynasty. Two hundred years ago, the ancestor of Jin feathered, and was passed on to the sixth prince Fu Xuanhuai, and the honorific name was Jin Shengzong.
Jin Zu had nine sons. At the beginning of the world, Jin Zu divided the world, and the nine sons were divided into nine states, and the eighteen civil ministers and military generals who followed him to conquer the world were sealed in the eighteen mansions. Since then, the land of Shenzhou has been divided into eighteen prefectures in Kyushu, and His Majesty the Emperor is the prime minister of the world.
Jinzhou was originally the fief of the sixth prince Fu Xuanhuai, called King Jin. After entering Beijing and ascending the throne, it was passed on to his eldest son Fu Zhi. Jinjiang City is the capital of Jinzhou Prefecture and the place where King Jin's Fuzhi is located.
Xiang Xing carried two large packages on his back and walked on the bustling street, looking left and right. The first time I came to such a big city, I felt the novelty everywhere, and completely forgot the Qi Zhenren who walked in front.
Chenjiafang City is also a very prosperous place, and its prosperity is different from that of Jinjiang City. Chenjiafang City is full of wildness, like a wild wolf hiding in the shadows, ready to pounce and snatch the meat from your hands. Jinjiang City has a comfortable and majestic atmosphere, like a sleeping dragon.
Qi Zhenren took Xiang Xing to an attached street, and there was a dilapidated archway at the end, with four big characters of "Donglin College" written on it.
"Donglin Academy?The mansion of the national teacher of the Jin Dynasty?" Xiang Xing knew something about Donglin Academy. It is said that the academy was rebuilt from the old hometown before the national teacher was established. That was very, very long ago.
According to the records of the imperial court, this national teacher does not know when he started, he has always been the national teacher of the human race in the land of Shenzhou, and he is a national teacher during historical changes and dynasty changes, and no one knows how the cultivation realm is, which is very mysterious. The last time he appeared in the public eye was when Jin Zu divided the world.
Donglin Academy has its special status above the court, and the vast majority of the students who come out have entered the Jin Kingdom's civil and military generals, and the dean of the academy is the teacher of His Majesty the Holy Sect.
Stepping into the academy, Xiang Xing came to another world. Outside the archway is a quiet attached street, lined with restaurants and restaurants. There are several brothels and gambling houses not far away.
The archway is lined with ancient trees, and the road is lined with large green meadows, which are cut by criss-crossing small stone roads.
Through the gently swaying leaves, you can faintly see several buildings in the distance. Walking on the pebble road, I heard the sound of students reading. On the grass, men and women are in groups of three or five, or leaning against the ancient trees, or sitting on the ground, there are fine food boxes beside them, some people raise glasses to drink, some people play the piano and do paintings, and more people hold folding fans in their hands, reading books and writing poems.
Go a little further inside, there is a bluestone platform, two by two, all kinds of Taoist thaumaturgy, endlessly.
"What a place! Great!" Xiang Xing sighed sincerely.
"Do you like it here?" said coldly, Qi Zhenren turned around and asked Xiang Xing. On the way, Qi Zhenren didn't say a word, and his sudden opening really scared Xiang Xing!
Xiang Xing saluted and said, "Qi Zhenren, take the liberty of asking, which is your true voice?"
Since yesterday, when I heard Qi Zhenren's sweet voice, I have been surrounding Xiang Xing's heart. Keqi Zhenren seems to have a neutral voice in front of others, which makes Xiang Xing very uncomfortable to listen to!
"Do you like it?" Qi Zhenren said lightly.
"I like it," Xiang Xing subconsciously replied, looking at the big cold eyes exposed outside the black veil, and immediately changed his words: "I...... I mean...... Yes, I mean I love Donglin Academy!"
Qi Zhenren didn't say anything more and continued to walk forward. "Bluff! I'm scared to death, I really can't stand that cold look!" Xiang Xing patted his chest, and the cold sweat came out.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Xiang Xing was taken to an independent courtyard, halfway up the mountain, and standing in front of the door, he could see most of the scenery of the academy below.
In the courtyard, there are three bamboo houses in turn on the south side, west and north side, leaving a large open space in the middle, and there are stone tables and stone benches in front of the bamboo houses near the west side. In the middle of the clearing, there is a three-zhang square spiritual field. The field contains only a small grass with three green leaves, the size of a finger.
"You're going to live in a bamboo house to the south from now on. Put things in first, I've got something to explain!"
"Okay!" Xiang Xing ran in, threw the package in the house, and ran out quickly.
"Come here. From today onwards, every day at the time of the day and the time of the unitary, I meditate in front of this herb. Qi Zhenren pointed to the clover grass and said.
"It's as simple as that?"
"It's as simple as that. ”
"How long?"
"It's blooming, and you're done. ”
"How long does it take to bloom?"
"I don't know. ”
Xiang Xing was speechless for a moment, according to this, he was too optimistic.
Qi Zhenren saw the look on Xiang Xing's face, and said, "I know that your cultivation is not easy, and agreeing to come with me is also to get some benefits," as he spoke, a black ring appeared in Qi Zhenren's hand for no reason, "This space ring is for you, there are some spirit stones in it, and you can use it yourself after refining." ”
Xiang Xing's hand as he took the ring trembled. Space Ring, this thing can't be bought with spirit stones. The degree of preciousness is no less than that of the high-grade magic weapon.
"After the elixir matures, I can refine a Cave Heaven level magic weapon for you!"
"Magic weapon!" Speaking of magic weapons, Xiang Xing's eyes immediately lit up. Although I don't know what the hell the hell is at the cave level, as long as it's a magic weapon.
"One last question. What am I going to do in my free time?"
"Whatever you want. ”
"Can I go to Yamashita Academy to play?" Xiang Xing didn't talk about studying, but about playing, because he was afraid that Qi Zhenren would not agree. After all, he must be someone else's medicine boy now, and it is not appropriate to find another famous teacher.
"Don't delay an hour, it's up to you to make it all your own. ”
"Thank you, Qi Zhenren, senior!" Xiang Xing thanked from the bottom of his heart.
"We must be punctual every day, we can't miss the hour, and we can't miss anything. If you make a mistake, I will punish you!"
"Qi Zhenren rest assured, he will never make a mistake!" Xiang Xing said firmly. Meditating in front of the elixir for two hours every day, how simple the task, and the benefits to take, the most critical thing, you can freely enter and leave Donglin Academy in your spare time, and what you see and hear along the way makes Xiang Xing like this academy.
Qi Zhenren said again: "Give me the bronze tripod in your arms!"
Xiang Xing hesitated, he didn't know what the bronze tripod did, but he didn't have to think about it to know that it must be very extraordinary.
"Don't worry, I won't ask for anything from you, I'll just borrow it and take a look. "Qi Zhenren himself felt embarrassed, a dignified senior, begging for something from a junior who only had innate realm cultivation. Say it and make it a joke.
Since Qi Zhenren spoke, Xiang Xing had no reason not to give it. took out the bronze tripod from his arms, handed it to Qi Zhenren, and then said, "Can I rest now?"
"Half an hour is left, remember what I said. Qi Zhenren took the small tripod and walked into the bamboo house in the north.
The furnishings in Xiang Xing's bamboo house are very simple, a bed, a table, a chair, and nothing else.
"Hey, hey, hey, let's refine it first, and see how many spirit stones there are in it. Xiang Xing's luck forced out a drop of painstaking effort, dropped it on the ring, and then ran the Xuan Gong, and it only took half an hour to complete the refining.
If Xiang Xing has a foundation building period of cultivation, he doesn't need to use hard work to refine. Hard work is the foundation of a monk's life, and losing too much will hurt his life. However, he only has the cultivation of the innate realm, and only with the help of his heart and blood can he establish a connection with the ring and open its inner space.
The mind enters the ring space. It is roughly estimated that there is a hundred zhang square circle, and there is only a pile of spirit stones in the entire space, and Xiang Xing estimates that there are at least more than 200,000 spirit stones according to the size of the spirit stone pile.
"Good fellow, you've made a fortune now. ”
Xiang Xing sat on the bed, playing with a few spirit stones taken out of the spatial ring drawing, and his mouth was stuffed with beast meat. While eating, he muttered to himself: "Or is it a top-grade spirit stone?" A high-grade spirit stone can be exchanged for a hundred medium-grade spirit stones, and a medium-grade spirit stone can be exchanged for a hundred lower-grade ones, so how many are in the space ring? Thinking about it, Xiang Xing's tears fell involuntarily.
A few days ago, I was still working hard for a few spirit stones, and I was trying my best. In the blink of an eye, there is such a huge wealth, and the key is that people can take it out casually. With such a big gap, how can it not make people sigh and feel sad?
Xiang Xing wiped away his tears: "I, Xiang Xing, swear to the sky that no matter what I want in the future, I will make myself strong." I'm going to see the world in the eyes of those predecessors, why they have strong strength and profound realms. Why can they be worshiped by the world?"
Xiang Xing's every move was watched by Qi Zhenren in another bamboo house, and he thought in his heart: "Crying at every turn is not done by a manly husband." Alas, blame me, for this is like a treasure falling from heaven to him. Speaking of which, he is only sixteen years old, and in the face of great temptation, it is rare to be able to say such a thing. ”
Caressing the bronze tripod, Qi Zhenren showed a trace of loneliness very strangely: "But, do you know? These things don't mean anything to me anymore." It's up to you what happens in the future!"
