Xiao Xuan flashed back to the room, and saw Ling Ye sitting at the head of the bed with tears in his eyes, and he couldn't help but be stunned and asked, "What's wrong with my brother, what are you crying about?"

Ling Ye wiped the tears on her cheeks and said, "I don't know why, after seeing the bruises on Sister Lan's body, my eyes couldn't stop crying, is there something wrong with her bruises?"

"I don't see why, at first glance it looks like a scar from an injury. Xiao Xuan saw that Ling Ye was fine, and said on the chandelier in the room.

Ling Ye closed his eyes and recalled, and he was puzzled in his heart, and the biggest doubt was why he was crying. Could it be that I feel unworthy for Sister Lan to carry it, but it will not let myself cry inexplicably. Otherwise, the bruises are related to him, and it is even more impossible, how long have he and Lan Xiuxiu known each other.

Ling Ye shook his head vigorously to calm himself down, not thinking too much about the bruises on Lan Xiuxiu's back. There is no intention of going to Lan Xiuxiu, the sword will be sent tomorrow at a time, and it still won't bother her now.

"Xiao Xuan, you go to the Sumeru Realm and take care of the little fox. Ling Ye sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed and said to Xiao Xuan.

After taking Xiao Xuan into the Sumeru realm, Ling Ye also closed his eyes and rested.

Nothing was said all night

The next morning, the sky outside the window of the boat was already white. Ling Ye woke up from meditation, and immediately recuperated in the halo of the heavenly heart, Ling Ye got up and went into the bathroom to wash up.

Half an hour later, when I came out in the middle of the night, I saw that Nan Nan had also woken up from her sleep and was sitting on the bed. Then he stepped forward to help the girl put on the underskirt from yesterday.

It took a lot of effort to finally help Nan Nan put on her clothes, and let her go to wash, and Ling Ye began to tidy up the room, it is estimated that there will be a few hours before she arrives at the station, pack your luggage, so as not to get too late, in fact, Ling Ye has nothing to do, just some books on the table, and Ling Ye has all of them in the Sumeru realm.

After Nan Nan came out after washing, Ling Ye helped Nan Nan tie her braids, and asked Nan Nan: "Nan Nan, when you get off the boat, are you willing to follow Sister Lan first, and my brother will come to pick you up after he finishes reporting to the academy first." Okay?"

After hearing this, Nan Nan nodded and expressed her willingness.

Seeing Nan Nan nodding, Ling Ye smiled slightly, and after helping Nan Nan braid her hair, Ling Ye took out a good talisman jade pendant, put it in Nan Nan's arms, and told Nan Nan to keep it carefully.

When everything was done, Ling Ye took Nan Nan out of the room, walked to the door of the room, and glanced back at the furnishings inside the room. It's the same as when I came, nothing more, nothing less. It's been more than two months, and today is the time to say goodbye.

Gently locked the door, and took Nan Nan to the dining room, because it was the first day of the Lunar New Year, the breakfast was much better than before, Ling Ye and Nan Nan still asked for two bowls of sweet porridge as usual.

After eating breakfast, Ling Ye took the girl to the deck, and saw that many freshmen had packed their luggage and walked towards the deck.

The sky outside the cabin was clear, the sun in the eastern sky poked its head out slightly, and the dazzling golden light shone on the sky roaring treasure ship, while a round of jade disks in the west was gradually disappearing. It is said that the sun and the moon are different days, but now it seems that it is not fully believed.

There were many people on the deck, perhaps because they knew that they had arrived at the imperial capital Tiannan City at about dawn today, so they all got up earlier than usual, just to see what the capital of the Qingshui Empire was like in the sky.

If you don't be able to enter the War College, probably most people will not come to this Tiannan City, and now on the Tianroar Treasure Ship, you have to take this opportunity to look down on the scenery of the imperial capital to see if it is as the book says: "White jade is a horse for gold, and pearls are like earth and silver like iron." ”

Ling Ye led Nan Nan to an empty seat on the left side of the deck, and looked down on the railing.

Although the beginning of spring is approaching, the snow left behind in the deep winter still does not mean to melt on the earth. The land is white, and the earth is clean.

After a moment on the deck, Midnight saw a large ship flying south to the west of the Heavenly Roar Treasure Ship. After such a long time in the Sky Roar Treasure Ship, it was rare to see other ships flying in the sky. First, large spaceships are expensive and not very numerous, and secondly, the territory of Qingshui Country is vast, and it is not easy to meet other ships in the air.

"Uhhhhhh

A long flute echoed, and the people on deck clearly felt that the Sky Roar Treasure Ship was constantly descending, and its speed was constantly decreasing.

A quarter of an hour later, Ling Ye finally saw the general outline of Tiannan City, which was more than sixty zhang high and nearly a thousand miles long, like a giant dragon prostrate on the ground, exuding an ancient and solemn and sacred aura.

In front of the bluestone city wall, there is a moat about 50 zhang wide, I don't know how deep it is, the water in the moat is not frozen, the four seasons flow, and it provides water supply for Tiannan City in a steady stream, and at the same time, it also guards the Tiannan Imperial Capital all the time.

The high pavilion in the wall stands straight into the clouds, and the red wall and blue tile carved railings paint the building. The straight avenues crisscross and the traffic is endless. As the book says: "Tuhuang is based on hundreds of millions of years, and the grand rules are great." From the high and the end of the peace, the world is decorated with sublime. ”

Everyone on the deck was shocked, and for a moment there was silence, and there was a faint sound of singing, which spread in the heavens and the earth:

The southern city of Tiannan, the capital of the Huanghuang Emperor, the clear water of thousands of years, how to think!

The surging ancient dynasty, Lang Lang Qiankun Terrace, just like yesterday's beacon fire, hard to think!

............

When everyone was shocked, the Heavenly Roar Treasure Ship fell quickly, and Lu Ze's voice came out: "The treasure ship is about to land, and the students of the War College are ready to disembark." ”

Lu Ze's voice woke everyone up, and then sighed.

Midnight came back to his senses, hugged Nannan, walked in the cabin, and soon came to the area where Lan Xiuxiu, Nan Yu'er and other disciples of the Southern Heaven Dao Sect were located.

At this time, Lan Xiuxiu, Nan Yu'er, Fang Guangwen, and Jiang Ming were chatting casually in the corridor, seemingly waiting for a few other people. Lan Xiuxiu's clothes also changed back to the Nantian Dao Sect's standard robes, which looked extremely simple and heroic.

Several people saw Ling Ye holding Nan Nan and leaving, Nan Yu'er stepped forward quickly, and Lan Yu'er smiled slightly. Fang Guangwen and Jiang Ming looked at each other, their brows furrowed, and the two mistakenly thought that Ling Ye was here to collect debts now.

Ling Ye didn't care about Fang Guangwen and the two men, and directly greeted Nan Yuer and Lan Xiuxiu, and when he saw Lan Xiuxiu, he couldn't help but think of what he saw last night, and he was stunned.

Fang Guangwen saw that Ling Ye was stunned, and his heart couldn't help but tighten, he didn't really want to say this to Lan Xiuxiu at this time, and then took the lead in speaking: "Brother Ling Ye, I was so offended before, please don't care, after getting off the boat, I will definitely bring a thin gift to the door to apologize." ”

Jiang Ming on the side also immediately agreed.

After Lan Xiuxiu and Nan Yu'er heard this, they looked at the two of them in great surprise, the sun came out in the west today, and these two people actually showed goodwill with Ling Ye.

Ling Ye smiled after hearing this, of course he knew what Fang Guangwen meant, and said with a smile: "It's okay, this time I have to ask your senior sister to help take care of Nannan, we will see each other sometimes in the future." ”

After a few people finished talking, the hull of the ship suddenly shook, and the Sky Roar Treasure Ship landed on the ground.

Ling Ye put down Nannan, half-squatted on the ground, pinched Nannan's little face with both hands and whispered: "Nannan, follow Sister Lan to be good, and my brother will pick you up soon." ”

Nan Nan stretched out her little hand and pinched Ling Ye.

After Ling Ye handed over the girl to Lan Xiuxiu, he said goodbye to a few people.

After re-boarding the deck, everyone on the deck lined up in an orderly manner and descended the escalator one by one.

In less than two quarters of an hour, midnight came to the escalator entrance, and a young waiter was sitting on the side, registering something.

In the middle of the night, when people get off the boat, they will put their palms in, and they will also press their palms on it, and then the waiter will look at it and say: "The house card of the land 027 has not been returned"

After hearing this, Ling Ye immediately took out the room card from the storage bag and handed it to the waiter, and when the waiter saw Ling Ye take out the room card from the storage bag, his attitude towards Ling Ye was also much more respectful.

After handing over the room card, Ling Ye walked under the boat.

One step at a time, two steps...

The students who had already descended to the ground were walking down in twos and threes, and the snow on the ground was trampled in a mess.

Ling Ye landed on the ground in one step, and the moment his right foot hit the ground, the ground under his feet suddenly shook, and the people on the ground stumbled and ran to the side.

The Heavenly Roar Treasure Ship also swayed in the earthquake, and the entire imperial capital was also in turmoil, and the inhabitants of the city were in chaos. Some of the houses that had been in disrepair collapsed, but fortunately there were no major casualties.

At the same time, in the far northwest of the Qingshui Empire, at the junction of the Qingshui Empire and the Tianqin Empire, an old man and a boy of about five or six years old crossed the border between the two countries and stepped on the land of the Qingshui Empire.

The old man looked up at the blue sky and said softly, "It's time for me to move my old bones." ”

Xiao Qing'er's dark eyes also looked at the sky, and then said in a milky voice: "Grandpa, are they here to arrest me?"

The old man held a black cane, touched the back of the little boy's head with one hand, and said with a smile: "There is a grandfather, who caught Qing'er." ”

"Well, grandpa is the best, let's go quickly, I haven't seen Uncle Xia for a long time, and now I can't even feel his breath. Qing'er muttered, and then trotted forward thinking about the road ahead.

At the same time, Nanchuan City in the southern region of the Qingshui Empire, under the old banyan tree on Chunshen Street in the south of the city.

Although it was a cold winter, the old banyan tree was still full of green leaves, and there was no snow under the tree. The woman is Ling Ye's mother, and the two old men are Wang Hao and Su Ling's grandfather.

The scars on her mother's face were still the same, and when she was explaining to the two old men, she suddenly stopped what she was saying, looked up into the depths of the sky, and said to herself, "You're here." ”

Immediately, the Azure Sword appeared in his hand, and the scabbard was not missing. This Azure Sword Scabbard was just brought back to the Southern Heavenly Dao Sect by Lin Yuxi for less than a day, although the formation isolated the breath of the scabbard, but the magic of Ling Ye and her mother were also, with one move of the sword, the already spiritual scabbard broke through the formation of the Southern Heaven Dao Sect trying to isolate the breath of the scabbard, and turned into a streamer that passed through most of the territory of the Qingshui Empire and returned to the Sky Blue Sword.

Ling Ye then looked at the two old men and said, "The road is simple, and the enlightenment is in Tiancheng." If you have a chance, you can cultivate the Immortal Dao!"

After his mother finished speaking, the figure disappeared without a trace. After hearing this, the two old men bowed slightly towards the place where Ling Ye's mother disappeared.

Ten miles south of Tiannan City

Ling Ye landed on the ground, the earth trembled, Ling Ye quickly stabilized his body, and his heart was also horrified, on the first day of the new year, there was an earthquake, which was a bad omen.

Fortunately, the earthquake only lasted for a breath, and after the earth returned to calm, Ling Ye seemed to hear a low sigh, he didn't care, he just felt that he was startled by the earthquake.

After the earth calmed down, the people around were talking about it, saying that for no reason, why the earth would suddenly burst, this may be a natural phenomenon, or maybe not, in short, the earthquake on the first day of the new year is not a good thing.

The major forces in Tiannan City are also speculating one after another, whether the turmoil in this imperial capital indicates that something big has happened. After all, Tiannan City is the capital of a country, a place where the fortune of the country gathers, and there has never been such a vision in the 10,000 years since the founding of the country.

Although Ling Ye had some guesses, he was only a student, and he was not a pillar of the country, so he didn't think much about it, and quickly walked to the side, waiting for the others to get off the boat.

When I walked to the side, I happened to meet Wang Yihang, and Liu Min and a few people discussed the earthquake just now. Ling Ye smiled and stepped forward to say hello.

Wang Yihang and the others immediately stepped forward when they saw Ling Ye, after all, they knew that Ling Ye had a huge amount of spirit stones after the last casino, and after going back, several of them were still discussing Ling Ye in the dormitory, according to Ling Ye facing Fang Guangwen and a few people in the casino, after winning so many spirit stones, he still behaved calmly, as if he was not afraid of Fang Guangwen and a few immortal cultivators at all, and he did not put those thousands of spirit stones in his eyes. Ling Ye also admitted that he was General Yue Li's apprentice, so Wang Yihang guessed that Ling Ye must have become an immortal cultivator, and he still had strong strength.

Several people were very happy when they saw each other, and after greeting each other, Wang Yihang saw that Ling Ye was not following the girl, and immediately asked, "Ling Ye, where is your sister?"

"Let a friend take care of it on your behalf, after all, it's not easy to bring it into the academy. Ling Ye said.

A few people walked to the side and chatted casually.

"Ling Ye, has your master, General Yue Li, already taught you the method of cultivating immortals. Wang Yi looked at Ling Ye and asked. Several others looked at Ling Ye in the same way.

Ling Ye nodded with a smile and said, "It's also just a short time coming. You don't have to be envious, can't you also learn when you enter the academy? ”

"Then I have to give you more advice, brother, after all, you have come into contact with immortal cultivation before us, and you know better than us. Liu Min said with a smile.

"I can't talk about pointing, if there is a problem in the future, let's discuss it together, cultivating immortals is not saying that whoever contacts cultivating immortals first will be powerful, it also depends on personal talent. Ling Ye said.

"Then let's all apply for the same class after we enter the college, preferably we are in the same dormitory. What do you think. Zhang Guanglai proposed.

Several people agreed, and Ling Ye also smiled and nodded.

"Okay, then that's it. Wang Yihang said.

Not long after, the students of the War College all got off the boat, and Lu Ze's voice was like thunder: "Retreat a hundred meters from the treasure boat, and line up according to the queue when you came." Prepare to enter the Academy. ”

After Lu Ze finished speaking, hundreds of people on the ground began to walk backwards, and after listening to Ling Ye, he thought in his heart for a while, he didn't line up when he came, and got on the boat directly, now let him go to that row?

"You go first, I'll go find the teacher. Ling Ye said to Wang Yihang and a few others, and then walked towards Lu Ze.

walked quickly to the front and back of Lu Ze, and saw that Lu Ze was explaining something to Zhang Hui, so he waited a little on the side.

After a moment, Zhang Hui glanced back at Ling Ye and walked towards the new students.

"Teacher, do you think I'm in that line?" Ling Ye asked.

Lu Ze smiled and said, "You follow me first, wait until the academy, and see how the academy divides classes." ”

Ling Ye nodded and listened to Lu Ze's words and followed Lu Ze's side.

Not long after, Lan Xiuxiu and his party from the Southern Heaven Dao Sect got off the boat. Gounard and several crew members also disembarked to see them off.

Nan Yu'er was holding the girl, and immediately laughed when she saw Ling Ye. Ling Ye also beckoned gently, but did not let Nan Nan come over.

"Jade Princess, Blue Girl" Lu Ze stepped forward to greet, although Lu Ze, as the deputy dean of the Jiuquan Vein Master and the War Academy, was much stronger than Lan Xiuxiu and Nan Yu'er. But one is the princess of the empire, and the other is the core disciple of the Nantian Dao Sect, and he Lu Ze can't support it yet.

"Teacher Lu, let's go back to the sect first, thank you Teacher Lu for taking care of me along the way, as for what Teacher Lu said, I will explain the situation to the sect after I return to the sect, and let the sect re-examine the exercise books sent to the academy. Lan Xiuxiu looked at Lu Ze and said, "As for the allocation for the academy this year, I will also propose to earn some appropriately." As for whether it can be successful, it depends on the meaning of the imperial court, after all, we can't interfere too much in the decision-making of the imperial court. ”

"Then Miss Lao Lan bothered. Lu Zedao, with a smile on his face, every few years, the Nantian Dao Sect will send some new exercises and classics, but they are all low-level exercises, many of which have changed their names, and they have become a new practice and sent it to the academy, and there are many exercises that are full of mistakes and omissions, so it is only suitable for some low-level cultivators to practice. Although there was a reaction to the Southern Heavenly Dao Sect before, the effect was not obvious.

When he met Lan Xiuxiu this time, he also mentioned it by the way, as for whether he could completely stop it, it depended on the attitude of the Nantian Dao Sect, if they were still fighting with one eye and one eye closed, he wouldn't do it. After all, the Tiannan royal family listened to the Nantian Dao Sect, if they didn't pay attention to this issue, what would he have to say as a vice president.

After all, since there has been no major war in the Qingshui Empire for nearly 10,000 years, and the War Array Academy has been established for more than 5,000 years, many important officials of the imperial court have suggested closing the War Academy.

Of course, the War Academy has been established for so long, and he must have other martial arts books, but without exception, those above the Xuan rank have all been handed in, and the management of the academy is all appointed by the imperial court, and the financial resources to maintain the normal operation of the academy are also in the hands of the imperial court. Therefore, the War College has a history of more than 5,000 years, but it has no corresponding background.

After all, the war academy is not as good as those colleges that train scholars for the imperial court, and those academies are mostly private, with great autonomy and management, and only teach some Confucian and Taoist cultures such as the Four Books and the Five Classics, and the Ming Ming and Virtue cultures, and the funds required for operation are not much.

The War College is different, and all the knowledge taught is useful for war, and the literature teaches all kinds of military arts, astronomical geography, how to march and arrange formations, and the martial arts are not to be mentioned, but all those used in war must be taught. In addition, the cost of teaching special arms is more than a thousand times higher than that of ordinary colleges with the same number of people. Such a huge expense can only be maintained by the imperial court for a long time.

It is precisely because of this that the Confucian scholars in the court feel that in the current peaceful and prosperous times, this academy set up specifically for war should be closed, and the reason why the world will be in turmoil is because there are more militants in these war colleges, who can't hold their breath and tell right and wrong, and use the expenses of the war academy to build for the people, which can stabilize the hearts of the people.

Qingshui is still martial, but it is not a war college, in the end, although the imperial court did not close the war college, but the lack of a lot of related expenses, and later the families poached people in the war college, and the imperial court will not care, on the contrary, it has helped the imperial court reduce a lot of economic burden.

Therefore, the reputation of the War College is still beautiful outside, but the economic resources of the academy are basically maintained by the imperial court, and the position is also embarrassing. But even so, the War College still has to be spent, never stingy, there is really no money, and the imperial court does not allocate funds, so they sell some old objects that have been preserved for thousands of years, such as those old tables and chairs. In order to show that their families have been inherited for thousands of years, many new wealthy families buy some back from the academy at a high price to serve as old objects handed down from their ancestors. There are also some that are bought purely for the sake of collecting.

For a while, the income of the War College was still very considerable. Although the imperial court didn't want to do this, because it was too disgraceful, it seemed that the war college had reached the point where it had to smash the pot and sell iron to maintain it, which made many soldiers and officers who came out of the war college feel sad, but they didn't allocate funds themselves, and they couldn't do anything. After all, now the court is more than martial arts.

"Then we will return to the sect first, and then there will be a period. Lan Xiuxiu said to Lu Ze and Gunnard on the side.

"There will be a date later"

"There is a period of regret"

Lu Ze and Gunard said at the same time.

Lan Xiuxiu then looked at Ling Ye and smiled slightly, then walked forward with the group, and when he walked out of about fifty meters, a sea blue spirit storage bag appeared in his hand, untied the spirit storage bag tether, and injected a spiritual power into the bag, and then a blue light cluster flew out, followed by several white light clusters, and fell to the ground, a blue blue with a single crystal horn, and a fog hidden wolf with a height of nearly two zhang and nearly two zhang long appeared on the ground.

As soon as the misty wolf came out, the students of the War College who were a hundred meters away suddenly let out an exclamation in unison, after all, this kind of demon beast was like a god to those students who had never seen the world, how could they not be amazed.

Behind the Fog Hidden Wolf are five more ordinary, slightly smaller war horse demon beasts. When Fang Guangwen and the others saw their mount appear, they immediately stepped forward to stroke it, and then jumped onto the back of the mount.

After Nan Yu'er saw it, with a wave of her hand, a purple-gold light cluster flew out from the Fire Spirit Ring, fell to the ground and turned into a purple and red color, with a golden stripe on his forehead, a pair of purple wings on his back, and a gold-devouring spirit tiger that was one point larger than the Fog Hidden Wolf appeared.

As soon as this beast came out, the other beasts all took a few steps back. After all, this beast is the leader of the second-order demon beasts, and its strength is much stronger than the other beasts.

When the students of the War College saw this, there was no doubt that there was another burst of exclamation.

Nan Yu'er smiled and said to the girl beside her, "Nan, are you afraid!"

Nan Nan smiled and shook his head, and then trotted forward and stood in front of the Gold Devouring Spirit Tiger, comparing the two, Nan Nan's petite body was like an ant in front of the Gold Devouring Spirit Tiger, and it was not enough to plug the teeth in one bite.

Nan Nan stretched out her little hand as if she wanted to touch Jin Linghu's head, but Nan Yu'er smiled and said to Lan Xiuxiu: "Nan Nan, she is bolder than me, and she will definitely be terrible when she grows up." ”

Lan Xiuxiu looked at Nan Nan and admired the courage of this little girl, the first time she saw this gold-devouring spirit tiger, she was not afraid at all, and dared to step forward and want to touch the tiger's head.

Just when everyone present thought that the Gold Devouring Spirit Tiger would not lower their heads, a shocking scene appeared, this Gold Devouring Spirit Tiger actually really lowered his head and slowly leaned on the palm of the girl.

"This..."Nan Yu'er, as the owner of the Gold Devouring Spirit Tiger, felt incredible, she didn't order the Gold Devouring Spirit Tiger to lower her head, but she didn't expect this Gold Devouring Spirit Tiger to bow her head herself.

Lan Xiuxiu was stunned for a moment and then said: "Maybe the Golden Devouring Spirit Tiger is giving you face, after all, you were holding Nannan just now, and it has the spirituality to see that Nannan wants to touch it, so it will naturally lower its head." ”

After touching the big black nose of the Golden Spirit Tiger with her little hand, she turned around and smiled at Nan Yu'er. Seeing that Ling Ye in the distance was also looking at him, he immediately shook his hand again.

Ling Ye saw Nan Nan shaking his hand, and also raised his right hand and waved.

Lan Xiuxiu didn't stay too long, and got on the back of the mount, while Nan Yu'er took the girl on the back of the Golden Devouring Spirit Tiger. Heading towards Tiannan City.
