Chapter 225: Foothill City
Lushan, northwest of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, is close to the territory of the Demon Gate, and it is not very far from the territory of the empire.
The closest sect to this place is Fenglan Valley, which used to be a demon sect force. It can be said that if it weren't for Fenglan Valley's defection and defection to the Heavenly Dao Alliance in the past, Lushan Academy would have been located within the influence of the Demon Gate.
Tracing back to history, this special academy has existed for hundreds of thousands of years, and it is even much older than Yanyun Pavilion, so there is no Yanyun Pavilion among the forces that formed here together in the past.
At that time, the empire and the Heavenly Dao Alliance were not allies, but rivals, and the tension between them was even above the Demon Gate, because both sides had the intention of fighting for righteousness and orthodoxy.
It was hard to imagine what kind of person it was back then, and what methods or means were used to unite the three tense forces of the Demon Gate, the Empire, and the Heavenly Dao Alliance. While establishing the Lushan Academy, he also promised himself and his descendants that they would not take this place lightly.
Although that kind of promise, it will not have much practical effect on the latecomers. It's just that the empire and the Heavenly Dao Alliance will not easily leave a handle on people, and this place can be said to be in the hands of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, and the Demon Gate does not dare to try it easily, so they have always been safe.
Especially now, many sect masters of families and sects are happy to send their children here to study. It can be said that Lushan Academy is not just a place to study, but has even become a place for some families and sects to communicate with each other. In this way, no one dares to move here easily.
Coming in the dust, looking at the green mountains in front of him, Chen Weiming exhaled, and then slandered the people of Lumen Mountain in his heart.
This old-timer turned around and left very chic that day, and he also had a sense of escape at that time, but then he felt wrong, and the two didn't seem to have communicated well with many problems.
Not to mention that I don't know the exact location of Lushan Academy, I don't know what the dean looks like, and it's inconvenient to ask casually when I get here, which is really troublesome.
You can only take one step at a time.
A peaceful place is always easy to attract people to live in, and the Lushan Academy is built on the Lushan Mountain, which is quite large. At the foot of the mountain, a huge city was formed, with the foothills as the center and spreading in all directions. More than half of the population is ordinary people who have not cultivated to the general level.
Walking on the streets, Chen Weiming can see the banners and some signs of Lushan Academy everywhere, and even see a lot of Lushan Academy's industries, most of which are mainly pills and magic weapons.
From time to time, I can hear people talking around me, and the words are full of worship for Lushan Academy. The monks here, or the common people, don't have much cultivation in themselves. For them, if they or their descendants can worship the Lushan Academy, it will be a great glory for their ancestors.
The whole city is named after Lushan Mountain, called Lushan City, for the people here, Lushan is a holy mountain, and Lushan Academy is a holy place. Chen Weiming didn't even doubt that if he dared to say a bad word about Lushan Academy here, he was afraid that it would soon cause public outrage and attack it.
Walk through the old streets paved with bluestone slabs and arrive at the mountain gate at the foot of the mountain. As such a special place in the Pangea Continent, the Mountain Guarding Array is naturally extraordinary. You can see the outline with the eye of delusion, but you can't see anything else. With his current cultivation, he doesn't have the ability to break this formation.
Lushan Academy does not manage the flow of people down the mountain, but will send disciples down the mountain to maintain law and order, but if you want to go up the mountain, it is quite difficult. Not only is there a large array guarding the mountain, but there are also three checkpoints on the only road to the academy.
Most of the disciples in the mountains are the children of various families or sects, and they must not easily go wrong.
Looking at the dozen or so Yuan Infant monks guarding the gate of the mountain, Chen Weiming knew that it was impossible for him to enter safely. In desperation, he turned back to the city to inquire about the dean's news.
But how could the news of such a person be so easy to hear, it took nearly a month to get nothing, and even because of some careless actions, it almost caused some unnecessary trouble.
Here, the dean of Lushan Academy is a saint-like existence, and no one can have any bad thoughts about him, including this kind of side-knocking inquiry.
It took a lot of money for you, Chen Weiming couldn't find the opportunity and possibility to enter Lushan Academy to find the dean, and what was even more troublesome was that the management of Lushan City was completely different from other places.
Although Lushan Academy does not prohibit anyone from coming here, there is a prohibition that has always been strictly enforced: every day, except for the patrol disciples of Lushan Academy, it is strictly forbidden for anyone to stay on the street. If discovered, they will be arrested. Although it is not life-threatening, it will certainly cause a lot of trouble.
Especially for Chen Weiming, this means that either his identity will be exposed, or he may be held for a long time by Lushan Academy, either of which is not the outcome he wants.
And rumored to be the cause of this ban is also related to Yanyun Pavilion.
In the past, when Lushan Academy was established, there was no Yanyun Pavilion, and those so-called agreements naturally did not have the matter of Yanyun Pavilion.
A long time ago, Yanyun Pavilion had sent assassins to assassinate a child of the imperial royal family who was studying here. Because that assassination was too perfect, coupled with the departure of Jiuyang Zhenren, the prestige of Yanyun Pavilion was greatly reduced, and it was so that people did not think of Yanyun Pavilion for the first time, which caused the relationship between the Empire, the Heavenly Dao Alliance and the Demon Gate to be extremely tense for a while, and almost broke out in the cultivation world.
Although the cause was finally found out, many things were almost irreparable. In this way, Lushan Academy is particularly vigilant against the killers of Yanyun Pavilion.
Enforcing such a ban at night can greatly reduce the success rate of the killer's actions.
Those disciples who patrol at night will have some special treasures in their hands to search, and although Chen Weiming has a lot of good Xuangong in his body, he is not sure that he will be able to escape such a search.
As long as you stay in the inn, there will be no trouble, but the problem is that the guest house costs money. Even if Chen Weiming still had a lot of low-grade Yuan Crystal Stones on his body, he couldn't afford to spend here.
More than a month has passed, and there is not much left of the entanglement. Roughly calculated, it can last up to ten days.
Either you leave, or you have to change your plans and do something else.
The idea of the people of Lumen Mountain is too beneficial to themselves, and they have spent so many days here, and they are really unwilling to leave like this.
After thinking about the residence for two days, Chen Weiming finally made a decision.
Since you must enter Lushan Academy, you must first find an errand so that you can stay here. (To be continued.) )
