Chapter XVII
In the golden platform, Zhang Yu got a communication from the school palace, knowing that it was time to set off, he left Li Qinghe in the residence, took Qingshu and Qingxi out, and came directly to the rooftop of the boat through the underground gallop.
By the time they reached the border, dozens of people were already waiting there.
In addition to him, there were two other imams, one surnamed Zhou and the other surnamed Chang, both of whom were middle-ranking monks, and the two of them were accompanied by four or five young disciples and many servants.
However, although these two people are in the middle position with Zhang Yu, they are from a small Taoist school, and the things they have learned are not refined enough, and their combat effectiveness is weak, so their status is far from being comparable with Zhou Chi, Wu Chang and others.
But these two people have been in the school palace for thirty years, and they are very experienced, and this time they will take a flying boat with Zhang Yu and be responsible for the protection together.
Zhou and Chang were very aware of their position, and they maintained enough awe for Zhang Yu, who defeated Tang Chi, and when they saw him coming, they all took the initiative to come forward and salute.
Zhang Yu still saluted, and then waved the sleeves of his robe and walked along the rooftop extension to the flying boat, while Qingshu and Qingxi followed behind.
Zhou and Chang then boarded the boat one after another with their disciples.
At the same time, the newly enrolled students of the school palace, as well as the teachers and sergeants who accompanied them this time, also began to board the boat one after another under the morning light.
After about two moments, everyone boarded the flying boat, and after checking the list of errors, a burst of light flowed on each of the twelve flying boats, and then they took off into the air and sped away in a northwesterly direction.
The cabin of Zhang Yu's flying boat was relatively large, and each patriarch had a separate chair and couch, as well as a desk bookcase for writing books, and a single cabin for resting.
After he waited for Zhou and Chang to sit down, he talked with them.
The two monks replied carefully, but after chatting for a few words, seeing that he spoke calmly and treated others politely, his heart gradually relaxed, and the two sides also asked and answered.
Through this exchange, Zhang Yu did not feel that he had gained a lot, these two people had traveled to and from outside the territory many times, and they were familiar with the situation outside the territory, and most of the things in it had never been recorded in the file.
After the flying boat had been flying away for more than an hour, the monk surnamed Zhou looked outside and said: "The flying boat should have already left Pingzhou, and in a while, it will be out of the territory of Qingyang Shangzhou. ”
As soon as Zhang Yu raised his hand at this time, the roof bulkhead of the flying boat's cabin faded as if it were melting, revealing the scene outside.
The sky was still blue and clear, but the ground below was gradually replaced by crimson sand and exposed rocks.
And above the earth, there are dense craters, one huge crater after another, and you can see the broken limb shells and the bones of unknown creatures buried by the wind and sand.
The monk surnamed Zhou explained: "This is the remnants left by the battle between my Qingyang Shangzhou and the enemy after the arrival of the turbidity tide that year, and after being repeatedly bombarded by the Xuan soldiers and contaminated with filthy spirituality, it was cut off from life, and there was no grass, and it gradually became the way it was in front of me, and now it can be regarded as the outermost protective barrier around Qingyang." ”
At this time, everyone saw that a huge blue star suddenly appeared in their eyes, and from the huge size, it seemed to be close to the side of the earth.
A young disciple couldn't help but be surprised, "Teacher, what is this?"
"This is the legendary Spiritual Month, which some natives claim is the source of their spiritual power, and outside the region, it can be seen in February and March every year. ”
At this time, the monk surnamed Chang said with a hint of disdain: "These natives are all blamed on the gods when it comes to power, and they are unwilling to accept the statement that power comes from themselves, and blindly pin their hopes on the outside of their bodies. ”
This topic should not be discussed in depth, especially now that it is still on the flying boat of the military government, so the monk surnamed Zhou just laughed twice and did not answer.
At this time, the young disciple asked again, "Teacher, why haven't I seen such a big star and moon in the continent?"
The monk surnamed Zhou said: "Because this star and moon do have some miracles, long-term observation, the mind is easily affected, which is not good for my Tianxia people, so under the cover of the big green banyan, this thing is isolated from the shadow, and you see this thing now......" he paused, "That means that we have gone out of the protection of the big green banyan, and it is up to us to come down." ”
At this moment, on the other flying boat, Mo Ruohua, Xiao Yao, the girl surnamed Ying, and the rest of the students were in a group of twelve, a total of ten groups of more than 100 men and women were sitting together in the spacious flying boat cabin.
As newly admitted students, they are not as relaxed as Zhang Yu's side, since the departure, they are not allowed to talk to each other, they are not allowed to shout at will, they are not allowed to get up and move around, and they need to raise their hands to report everything they do.
So the journey can be described as silent, but even so, many people have uncontrollable excitement on their faces.
In the aisle, several female sergeants walked back and forth here, each of them with a mist-like figure hanging beside them that was impossible for outsiders to see.
Through this observer, she is observing the emotions and performance of each student here at the moment, which will be brought back to be entered into everyone's evaluation book.
After the flying boat traveled for a while, a female sergeant suddenly felt something, and walked quickly to the main cabin, and after a while, she walked out again, and said with a serious face: "It's almost noon, you have half an hour to eat and talk, remember, don't make loud noises, violators will be deprived of training qualifications, repatriated to the school palace, and entered into the evaluation book!"
After saying that, she looked around with stern eyes, and then walked out.
"Hoo ......"
The students let out a long breath, and they couldn't speak for so long, but they also remembered what they had just said, and many of them straightened their lips and let out a boo.
This caused some people to look embarrassed, hurriedly stood up, walked to the rear cabin with their legs between their legs, and saw many people snort, covered their mouths and chuckled.
At this time, the bulkheads on both sides also slowly dissolved, revealing the unforgettable scene outside, and most people stared blankly at the devastated earth below.
"What's that?"
A suppressed exclamation came, and a student pointed outside with a shocked expression.
Everyone looked at him as he pointed out, and for a moment their faces were shocked, only to see a huge body, similar to an ocean swimming fish, floating through the sky, it had no eyes, only countless tentacles paddling around it.
"It's called 'Forsaken Demon Fish', and it's a subset of the Taibo Monsters, and it usually likes to stay in the Forsaken Lands of the previous era, and as long as you don't provoke it, it won't come to attack us. ”
A female sergeant with short hair sitting in the corner explained.
Some students were puzzled: "Isn't the Taibo monster hostile to us? Why do you leave it alone?"
The short-haired female sergeant said: "The Taibo gods and monsters are not completely one, not to mention the low intelligence of the 'abandoned demon fish', and they also like to feed on their fellow clans with spiritual powers, so they are usually driven out instead of being killed, and it is because of this that we did not go to eliminate them, but let them go here." ”
She looked at everyone and said, "This time, one of the experiences of each of you is to hunt a low-grade Taibo monster with your own hands, and the relevant account will be delivered to you in the form of a booklet, so you can read more when you have time." ”
A bold student muttered in a low voice: "Why don't you give it to us earlier, you can prepare more......"
The short-haired female sergeant did not give any explanation, this time the experience of these new students is mainly based on the test, if everything is prepared in advance, how to test everyone's quality?
At this moment, suddenly a light and shadow flew from a distance, and after a few sharp circles around the flying boat, it turned into twelve streamers and entered each flying boat.
As soon as the light of the flying boat where Mo Ruohua and the others entered the cabin, it caused the surrounding students to exclaim and retreat.
When Mo Ruohua saw this thing, her eyes tightened, and her heart involuntarily released, but then she quickly retracted.
The eyes of the two female sergeants who were watching lit up, they looked at each other, and nodded.
After the light came in, it slowly fell to the ground, and then everyone saw clearly that at this time, a rune paper spontaneously combusted, and a spiritual light shot out, and the figure of a monk appeared inside, he looked very miserable, his clothes were torn, and the bun on his top was also scattered.
He clutched his injured chest and said with difficulty: "I and more than a dozen fellow Daoists were ordered to go out to clear out the gods and monsters, but we accidentally fell into an ambush and fought hard, and now we are trapped in an ancient ruin......
Before he could speak, the rune paper was already burning to the end, and his figure disappeared with the aura, and suddenly disappeared.
When the short-haired female sergeant saw this, she said with a serious expression: "You are not allowed to move around while sitting here." With that, she headed for the main cabin, leaving only the many students there to discuss.
On the other side, Zhang Yu watched the rune paper under his feet burn to ashes, his eyes were very calm, and he couldn't see any fluctuations.
Zhou and Chang both sat there without speaking.
Seeing that no one spoke in the audience, a young disciple was anxious, stood up, saluted the monk surnamed Zhou, and said, "Teacher, let's go and rescue this fellow practitioner, shall we?"
The monk surnamed Zhou reprimanded: "Sit down! This time you will go back, headed by Sect Chief Zhang, and it will not be your turn to make your own decisions!"
Although the young disciple was not convinced, he did not dare to disobey the teacher's orders, so he had to sit down obediently.
The monk surnamed Chang looked at Zhang Yu at this time and said, "Sect Chief Zhang, what do you say?"
Zhang Yu said lightly: "Don't care. ”
The monk surnamed Chang nodded, and asked again: "If the school palace comes to inquire about this matter later......
Zhang Yu waved his sleeves lightly, brushed away the ashes, and said: "Just say what I said, this time my generation is mainly to support the students, and the rest of the things are not asked." ”
