Volume 1 The Sage Academy Chapter 9 The People Who Shook Kyoto
The next day, the whole city of Kyoto was discussing the wonders of last night, and some even deified it as an immortal apparition, and the southern country was blessed by the immortals, and Kyoto Castle became a treasure.
When Chu Ci woke up, he couldn't believe his eyes, Zhou Ping was like a different person, his body was faintly flashing with dust, his skin became fairer, and even his momentum was very different from before.
"What did you do this night?" Chu Ci swallowed his saliva, looked Zhou Ping up and down, and asked, "Why did it change so much overnight?"
Zhou Ping was a little uncomfortable stared at by her, scratched his head honestly, and said with a smile, "Maybe it's because of some small progress in cultivation yesterday." ”
Chu Ci narrowed his small eyes, circled around Zhou Ping twice, and muttered, "Can cultivation still make people beautiful?"
The two walked into the market, and everyone in the streets and alleys was talking about the spectacle of the dust and stars hanging in the sky last night, and Zhou Ping and Chu Ci couldn't laugh or cry when they listened.
Along the way, Zhou Ping felt more and more that he had the opportunity to go further because of the blessing of last night's celestial wonders, so when there were people around him who were talking about how magnificent and gorgeous last night's wonders were, he stopped to listen.
"My progress last night should have something to do with this celestial spectacle. Zhou Ping said to Chu Ci in a low voice.
Chu Ci rolled his eyes, "It is said that last night there were even many years in Kyoto that had no power to break through the realm, and it is normal for you to enter the realm for a little guy who has just entered the immortal path." ”
Zhou Ping smiled, and then looked up at the bustling Kyoto City, the smile on his face became stronger. The man who caused the celestial spectacle that shook the entire Kyoto Castle last night thought that he had borrowed someone else's blessing.
The two of them ate the most delicious yakiniku on the streets of Kyoto, and along the way, they went around and around, and they could be regarded as seeing the prosperity of this Kyoto city. Especially Zhou Ping, a turtle beggar from a small border town, when had he ever seen such a prosperous bazaar? When had he ever heard the bells and drums of the princely house? For him, perhaps fate was quietly changing since he felt the prosperity of Kyoto.
By the time the two returned to the inn, it was already evening, and Chu Ci was paralyzed on the bed, without any ladylike demeanor. What's more, she has never been too lazy to pretend to be elegant in front of Zhou Ping.
"Tomorrow is the day when the academy officially recruits students, and I don't know what exam questions will be issued. Zhou Ping placed the things he bought, and seemed to be a little nervous about the unknown test questions of tomorrow's Sage Academy.
Chu Ci turned over, revealing the small waist that Ying Ying was holding, and said with a pout, "The soldiers will block, the water will cover up, and when the time comes, let's do our best, if it doesn't work, I'll say that I am the daughter of Chu Li, the god of war in the south, let them open a back door for me..."
Zhou Ping smiled, Uncle Chu is indeed very prestigious in the military circles of the southern country, and even among the many famous generals in the world, there may not be a few people who can compete with Uncle Chu on the battlefield, but he is such a famous commander in the world, and he was once a protégé of the Sage Academy, it is conceivable that he wants to go through the back door of this academy, unless you are the illegitimate son of the emperor of the southern country...
"Forget it. Chu Ci bounced up from the bed, clenched his little fists and said angrily, "Even you have broken through, if I don't work hard, won't I let you surpass?"
After that, this stubborn little girl with two ponytails sat on the bed and began to practice seriously.
Zhou Ping on the side also let out a sigh of relief, and began to carefully feel the changes brought about by his breakthrough yesterday.
According to what Uncle Chu said, there are four realms for cultivating immortals, which are: strength, injury, mystery, and breaking. And subdividing it down, there are six forces, five injuries, four mysteries, and three breaks.
I made progress in my cultivation yesterday, and I should have stepped into the gate of the dual-gravity realm, which can be regarded as truly entering the gate of the immortal cultivation realm.
"For the Book of Immortals" said that heaven and earth are nothing more than the five elements of yin and yang, the four elephants and gossip, the three talents and nine palaces, Zhou Ping does not understand, but it does not mean that he is unwilling to feel, just like the thousands of stardust last night, or the wind and rain that suddenly dissipated between heaven and earth when he first obtained the flawless soul seed.
The cultivation of the Flawless Soul Seed was much more difficult than he had imagined, not only was the strength realm ten times more than that of the people in the same realm, but the injury realm was even more calamity in one step, and there were thousands of sufferings.
But so what? Zhou Ping never felt that he was a gifted and intelligent child, he just wanted to work hard, there are many children in this world, and there are many talented demons, this little beggar who is fortunate enough to come to such a prosperous place from a small border town can only do hard work.
Start with the boy who climbs the mountain every day, start with the boy who punches at the top of the mountain every day, and start with the boy who bathes in the starry dust.
Zhou Ping slowly entered a state of cultivation, just like every night of the year.
Of course, this night was not peaceful, because countless people were sleepless all night over the exam questions of Tomorrow Academy, and some people were full of endless reverie about the celestial wonders of last night.
Kyoto City tonight is destined to be sleepless.
The breeze has arrived, the world is rejuvenated, the biennial examination of the Sage Academy is about to begin, and there are countless students who meet the requirements who come to participate.
Chu Ci was squeezed around by a few people who came to see the excitement, and she was so angry that she gritted her teeth, if it weren't for Zhou Ping protecting her, Chu Ci's small body would not have known where she was squeezed.
Everyone got up early in the morning and came to the academy to wait, but the people in the academy didn't say anything at all, and it wasn't until three o'clock in the morning that an old man in a gray robe came out.
"Quiet!"
The old man looked thin and small, but his voice was outrageously loud, and under a loud shout, the originally noisy square was silent for a moment, and everyone turned their eyes to the gray-robed old man, his eyes full of reverence.
"This is the vice president of the Sage Academy, Gu Yuan. Chu Ci whispered to Zhou Ping next to him, "This is a sage who has not been born for many years, and even the current emperor of our southern kingdom was once a student of his disciples. ”
Zhou Ping was a little stunned when he heard this, this Sage Academy really deserves the name of a sage, even the emperor of the Southern Kingdom was once a protégé of the Sage Academy, this is not only shocking, it is simply terrifying.
"However, in the past, the big tests were presided over by some sages, why did even this old dean be alarmed this time?" Chu Ci was very puzzled, after all, this Gu Yuan Holy Master had not appeared in Kyoto in public for more than ten years, and it was indeed a little strange for him to preside over the big test this time.
Zhou Ping didn't think so much in his heart, he looked at the thin old man from afar, and his heart was quite shaken.
Gu Yuan didn't have any nonsense, and said directly, "If you are over fourteen years old, please move outside the square, and if you have no soul seed, please also move outside the square." ”
As soon as these words came out, many people and students who were watching the excitement retreated one after another, and those left in the square were all childish teenagers.
Looking at the more than 1,000 people still on the field, the sage waved his hand and said loudly, "Please move to the Spring Maple Forest ten miles away on the outskirts of the city, this year's big test will be held in the Spring Maple Forest!"
