Chapter 13 The Sage Says
The man in heavy armor began to walk forward.
He followed the mountain path with a firm footstep, and even with heavy armor, he did not look struggling.
However, when the setting sun shone on the heavy armor on his body, especially on the mottled rust, it still gave people a very ridiculous feeling.
Even a general in the army would never wear such heavy armor in non-war time.
What's more, this is the heavy armor of the previous dynasty.
At this time, it was already the sixth year of the Heavenly Prison, and the previous dynasty had been destroyed for six years, and now he was still wearing such an old heavy armor, and he could still stay in an academy like the Nantian Academy, which was an incredible thing in itself.
But whether it was the female teacher or the young teacher behind her, listening to the heavy and rhythmic footsteps of this person, she only felt awe without the slightest sense of absurdity.
Because this person was originally a great general of the previous dynasty.
The heavy armor on his body shows that he is still loyal to the emperor of the previous dynasty and does not recognize the throne of Emperor Wu of Liang.
The reason why such a person can survive in this world, in addition to his own strength is strong enough, the most critical reason is that Emperor Wu of Liang feels that he will not pose any threat to his rule.
Because his mission is to guard this deserted garden, he is the enshrined guard in the deserted garden.
The worship of the Nantian Academy, like those old hermitages of the Monkey King Academy in the past, is itself a very transcendent existence, except that they do not directly interfere in the affairs of the academy, most of their requirements will be directly met.
And the status of this worship in the deserted garden is even more transcendent.
According to the knowledge of this female teacher, this "He" worshipper did not recognize the throne of Emperor Wu of Liang, but when the fact that Emperor Wu of Liang ascended the throne could not be changed, he finally reached an agreement with Emperor Wu of Liang to stay in this deserted garden and become a closed Nantian Temple worship.
Such a character is destined to exist above the Divine Confusion Realm.
The only person who is confused about this female teacher now is who is the person who sent the message in the Monkey King Academy?
In her bewildered gaze, the general in the heavy armor of the former dynasty took the letter from the young instructor behind her, and then walked back to the deserted garden, into the depths of the deserted garden.
The famous trees and flowers in the depths of the barren garden have long since turned into withered and rotten trees, and on both sides of a stone path, there are barren grasses like horsehair.
The grass is very soft, with the gentle undulation of the mountain breeze, silent, but even more desolate.
At the end of the stone path is a stone house.
The stone house in the deserted garden should be also desolate and dilapidated, but it is definitely not the same as everyone imagined, this stone house is extremely luxurious, the floor is paved with white fox skin, and the top of the stone house is inlaid with many silver glowing gems, like stars.
In addition to the beds and furnishings made of precious sandalwood and agarwood, this stone house also has a lot of rare wine, and even warm food and fresh fruits.
The old man in the stone house was also dressed in a luxurious brocade robe, and his long silver hair was combed in the slightest, like pure silver.
The most rare thing is that there is always a fresh air flow from the ground inside this stone house, so that the temperature of this stone house is always kept at the most comfortable level.
The closer he got to the stone house, the heavier and slower the footsteps of the general, dressed in the heavy armor of the previous dynasty, became.
The armor on his body began to shake inexplicably, and dust began to shake out of the cracks in the armor at first, and then slowly shook out sparks.
Dazzling sparks first shot out from the edge of the gap in the armor, and then even the surface of his armor began to rise like golden chrysanthemum-like sparks.
In the air, there seemed to be many invisible forces like falling stars in the sky, constantly hitting his armor.
Eventually, when he was only five steps away from the doorway of the stone house, all the sparks were gone, and instead as if frozen, more and more transparent crystalline lines appeared on the surface of his armor.
These transparent crystal lines came from the vitality around the stone house, and when the general wanted to take a step forward, these crystal lines became more and more, gradually making the entire stone house seem to be frozen.
There was a slight muffled grunt from inside the armor, and several new cracks appeared on the surface of the armor, which quickly rusted again.
"Don't force it, otherwise I won't even be able to read Shen Yue's letter at all. ”
The silver-haired old man in the stone house had been slowly eating a bunch of jasper-like grapes, as if everything outside the house had nothing to do with him, and it was only at this time that he slowly raised his head and said this lightly to the general outside the house.
His complexion was like white jade, and there was not even a trace of wrinkles on his face, whether it was his appearance, or his demeanor, including the voice he spoke at this time, it gave people a feeling of being pampered.
There was no response, just compliance.
The thickly armored general took a step back, bowed, and when he got up again, the letterhead in his hand flew up like a living thing and fell into the stone house.
The crystalline threads that permeated the stone house had not completely disappeared, but the letter passed through them, and it seemed that it only stirred up layers of transparent ripples, without hindrance.
The silver-haired old man looked silently at the letterhead that flew in front of him.
He stretched out two fingers and slowly grasped the letter.
He tore open the envelope and shook the letter with graceful movements.
He looked at the letter slowly, but the expression on his face changed greatly.
At first, anger, then peace, and then emotion.
When he shook his head, put down the letter, and looked up again, there was a faint smile on his face, and the smile was full of mixed flavors.
"You probably won't believe it, Shen Yue is going to die. ”
He looked at the general outside the house and said seriously: "Shen Yue, the strongest among the three saints in the south, is about to die at the end of his life. ”
The heavily armored general outside the house was shocked, and was silent for a moment, and a voice came out from under the armor, "What you said is naturally true, but I can't believe it." ”
"In his life, I don't obey him in many places, but there is one thing I obey. The silver-haired old man's voice was a little lonely, "He never tells lies, and he is reckless all his life, and he never does anything he doesn't like." What he wrote to me himself would not have been false, and if he had not had time, he would not have been able to compromise with me on this matter. ”
The general outside the house was even more shocked in his heart, but he had not read the contents of the letterhead, so he naturally did not know what the old man meant by the compromise on this matter.
"Back then, I failed in a gambling battle with him, imprisoned here, and did not interfere in the court dispute, he gave me another opportunity to let his apprentice lay this magic circle, as long as I trained you all these years, you can enter the stone house by your own strength, and I can leave this deserted garden and leave the South Heavenly Courtyard. But you're limited to talent, and even if you succeed, it's been twenty years later. ”
The silver-haired old man smiled sarcastically, "As far as fighting with him, I am naturally defeated again and again, but he finally helped Xiao Yan to seize the country, but he happened to hit the end of the law and the spiritual exhaustion, and the south and the north are slow, I am afraid that he will still be eaten by the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the spiritual energy exhaustion hinders his own cultivation, and in the end, the longevity will be exhausted, and he will ask me in turn." But the strength of the realm is a matter of talent and luck, he is better than me, and it is normal for him to be better than me, but in the end, in terms of heavenly luck, he lost to me. ”
The heavily armored general controlled his mind and asked, "What is he going to do?"
"The spiritual famine has arrived. ”
The silver-haired old man looked at the barren grass in the garden and said lightly: "He has studied many cultivation methods that are different from the past, but he happened to find that among the freshmen of the Nantian Academy's generation, there is a freshman who has the same idea as him, and he also happened to find a unique cultivation method that is most likely to be successful in the era of spiritual desolation." So he wrote to me and told me that some of my cultivation methods might be able to help this young man, and this young man can be regarded as my student, as long as this young man and you can break this formation, he will also admit defeat. ”
The general in heavy armor was not prone to mood swings, but hearing such words, his heart still had a huge wave.
Being able to share the same opinion as the Sage, the talent of this freshman of the Southern Heavenly Academy can be imagined.
"He's provoking me to win him. ”
The silver-haired old man's voice was even softer, and it seemed ethereal in this empty deserted garden: "But it seems that he is dying, and such a bet is just begging me." I may not be interested in him making another bet with me, but I will answer my request. ”
