Chapter 4 Suzaku
Leng Muyang and the immortals rode the cranes and soared above the clouds.
Leng Muyang looked back, and there was no trace of the mountain village.
The scenery below changes rapidly, indicating that the crane flies extremely fast.
But in this extremely fast situation, Leng Muyang did not hear the whirring wind in his ears, and his clothes did not blow in the wind.
Leng Muyang couldn't help but think, is there an invisible protective shield around us?
Only in this way can all this make sense!
The immortal sat in front of him silently, not knowing what he was thinking, or rather he didn't think about anything at all.
And Leng Muyang let his thoughts fly in the starry sky.
When the sun was obscured by the mountains in the west, and there was only a touch of red, shining on the clouds on the horizon, the crane landed in front of a mountain.
When the two of them got down, the crane jumped up, rushed into the sky, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
There is a mountain path with stone stairs at your feet, and although it is a mountain path up the mountain, it is not very strenuous.
Looking up from below, the hill is a complex of pavilions.
The complex of buildings is built according to the mountain, which is very ingenious.
As night falls, if you look further back, you can only see a hazy mountain.
Leng Muyang was taken to a small courtyard, and there were six houses in the small courtyard, and the house was very bustling at this time.
It turned out that there were several canteens here, and at this time, there were many children of the same age as Leng Muyang, who were eating dinner in the house.
As soon as the two entered the small courtyard, a well-dressed young man who looked like he was twenty years old hurriedly trotted over.
When they arrived in front of the two of them, the young man saluted respectfully at the immortal and said, "Mingjing see the master of the stone gate. ”
At this time, Leng Muyang knew that the immortal in front of him was a master of this mountain gate, surnamed Shi.
Leng Muyang said in his heart, not to mention, the surname Shi is quite attached to his temperament.
Leng Muyang and the immortal in the eyes of his parents, that is, the master of the stone gate, just hummed lightly with an expressionless face in the face of the clear salute.
After instructing Mingjing to settle down with Leng Muyang, he turned around and left.
Seeing that the master of the stone gate was so silent to the people in the mountain gate, Leng Muyang was relieved that he didn't say a word to him along the way.
People are born with such a character.
Leng Muyang was taken by this young man named Mingjing to a room with the smallest number of people to eat.
There were only eight people in this room plus him.
Eight people, seven men and one woman.
The other seven people, after seeing Leng Muyang come in, all showed very surprised expressions.
It's no wonder that if you judge by what you wear, Leng Muyang is really an outlier among the eight people.
In addition to him, the other seven people were dressed, bright and decent, and at first glance, they were the children of rich families or wealthy families, and the key people were all dressed very thinly.
Look at him again, he wears coarse linen clothes inside, and he wears furry animal skin shoulders on the outside, which can only be described as the slag of soil.
Other children looked at him, not to mention whether he was wearing dirt or not, the key was that he was not hot when he wore so much?
Leng Muyang naturally didn't know why they were surprised, of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't care about the opinions of a group of ten-year-old and eight-year-old children.
After dinner, the children in the other five canteens were taken to the back of the canteen in two batches by two teenagers of the same age as Mingjing, and Mingjing and the eight of them were the third group.
It turned out that behind the canteen, there was a small courtyard with three entrances, the first two courtyards were the largest, and the first two batches of children were arranged in the two courtyards in front.
The eight of them were arranged in the small courtyard at the end.
This small courtyard is much smaller, and it is also the end of the small courtyard with the addition of the canteen, a total of four small courtyards.
This small courtyard, with two huts in each direction, is exactly one hut per person.
Lying on the bed, Leng Muyang listened to the laughter, noise, and crying of children coming from the small courtyard in front of him.
Compared with the previous two small courtyards, this small courtyard is much quieter.
And for everything in the front yard, there seems to be no sign of anyone taking care of it.
Lying on the bed, Leng Muyang couldn't help but think of his parents.
If you are in a modern society, you have reached your destination safely, and it is time to call back and report that you are safe.
But in this world, you can't do anything.
Parents shouldn't have slept yet!
Especially his mother, recalling his crying appearance, Leng Muyang was worried for a while.
Daddy should also be sad, when he called himself, his voice was already hoarse.
Although he didn't say anything, looking at his smile that was uglier than crying, he knew that he was trying his best to restrain his tears.
I've been living together for ten years, and I still know what my parents are like when they're happy and what they're like when they're sad.
Leng Muyang thought to himself, maybe my father will find a place where no one is around, and maybe he will secretly wipe his tears.
Thinking about it, Leng Muyang's eyes began to moisten, and tears unconsciously slipped from the corners of his eyes and fell on the pillow along his ears and lips.
A slight knock on the door woke up Leng Muyang in his sleep.
When I opened the door, there was a wooden basin with a neatly folded towel on the side of the wooden basin.
Next to the tub was a wooden tray with a neatly folded set of clothes, the color of which was darker than the one they were wearing.
Mingjing stood at the door of the small courtyard, and when the eight of them opened the door, Mingjing said majestically, "The clothes on the ground are the sign of the first entrance to the courtyard.
If you put it on, you can't say that you're already a member of Suzaku-in, but if you can't wear it, you'll never be able to become a member of Suzaku-in.
After 100 breaths, we will meet in the square in front of the dining hall. ”
After finishing speaking, Mingjing turned around and left, his expression was very serious.
If one breath is counted as three seconds, a hundred breaths will be about five minutes, Leng Muyang shouted in his heart, Damn!
When Leng Muyang hurriedly came to the square in front of the canteen, there were already more than a dozen children in the square.
The little ones, who were asked to stand in a row of nine, stood neatly.
Leng Muyang, like other children, stood straight and lined up neatly.
He stood in fifth place in the second row.
In a short time, everyone arrived at the square on time.
At this time, the sky was already bright, and at this time, Leng Muyang really saw clearly this majestic Vermilion Bird Mountain.
In the distance, the body of Mount Suzaku stands there like a bird with its back to the north and south.
The outstretched wings, the high head, and the unbeatable majesty deeply shocked Leng Muyang.
Leng Muyang thought, this must be the reason why Vermilion Bird Mountain got its name.
But why does it have to be called Suzaku Mountain? Why can't it be called Otoriyama?
Is it just because the Vermilion Bird is the legendary phoenix? is it because it is a mythical beast?
However, no one answered all these questions for him.
Mingjing put his hands behind his back and came to the neatly arranged crowd.
He just cleared his throat slightly, and it caught the attention of all the children, and all of them looked at him with serious expressions, and there was even a little fear in their eyes.
Leng Muyang could see that Mingjing was very satisfied with everyone's state, and he also enjoyed everyone's fear of him.
I saw Mingjing say with a majestic expression, "Now you are not a member of the Suzaku Academy. ”
As he spoke, he saw Mingjing turn sideways and point to the distance and the buildings on the upper floor of the square and said, "Suzaku Temple starts from there and goes to the top, which is divided into nine floors.
And there, it is the first floor, and only when you enter that floor can you say that you have truly become a member of Suzaku Temple.
Do you understand?"
Leng Muyang said in his heart, I am a newcomer, don't you say that I understand something!
However, everyone except him shouted "Understood." ”
Leng Muyang was quite speechless in his heart.
Is it just me who doesn't understand?
What's the situation?
However, after Mingjing said this, Leng Muyang looked at it, and the buildings on the mountain were indeed as many as nine floors.
I saw that the building complex was from the bottom to the top, the ladder was like a tower, orderly, and the last floor was just below the high head of the Suzaku.
This layout and this design can be said to be careless.
