Su Yun glanced at the Saint Master Bai Yuelou and the girl Wutong warily.
Neither of these two people is easy to deal with. One is a hypocrite who wants to be a saint, and the other is a resurrected devil. If they become scholars of Wenchang Academy, wouldn't they cause unrest in the whole academy
Li Zhuxian was staring at him viciously, obviously still remembering that he stepped on the hem of her skirt and caused her to be beaten to death.
Su Yun felt her gaze, turned around and gave the girl a kind smile, thinking: "Miss Zhuxian has Li Muge's care, so she shouldn't be in much danger."
"There's no use laughing!"
Li Zhuxian snorted, twisted her face to the side, and thought to herself: "I can't be coaxed when I'm angry!"
"OK!"
Monk Tu Ming smiled and said, "It is a blessing for Wenchang Academy that you four can become scholars of the Academy."
Master Ye Luo coughed and said, "Master, it's not four, it's five. I'm also applying for the Wenchang Academy!"
Monk Tu Ming was somewhat unhappy. If Young Master Ye Luo could get one point in the exam, he would not refuse. After all, Wenchang Academy could only select scholars after other academies, and a scholar who could get one or two points would be considered good.
But the key point is that this Young Master Ye Luo doesn’t have a single cent!
Moreover, he had more than ten or twenty bribed scholars around him to help him in the exam, yet he still achieved such a good score!
Taoist Xianyun laughed and said, "Wenchang Academy teaches everyone, no matter who you are, you can come and study. Besides, the Ye family owns Liulichang, so they are very rich. If they donate a building to us..."
Young Master Ye Luo was greatly encouraged and said, "I am studying with the scholars who ranked first, second, and third in the exam, and with the disciples of the saints. When I go home this time, my father will not beat me to death, but will greatly praise me! Even donating a building is fine!"
Monk Tu Ming was worried and whispered, "If Taoist priests, demons, and saints' disciples all come in, can our Wenchang Academy hold them back?"
"Of course we can't suppress it, but the old boss can."
Taoist Xianyun smiled and whispered, "Let the Minister of Public Security worry about it."
The Wenchang Academy's great success naturally caused a stir, and the platform was bustling with activity. The four major academies set up a banquet at Shenxianju and invited these scholars to have dinner.
Su Yun felt relieved when he found Hua Hu and others. They were hungry, so they ate something to fill their stomachs.
The banquet was over and they were about to leave when Su Yun suddenly heard a familiar voice in his ears: "Yun, Fox, don't leave in a hurry, let's talk first."
Su Yun, Hua Hu and the others were surprised and delighted, and turned around quickly: "Sir!"
Qiu Shuijing was not surprised at all. His expression remained calm as he said, "This is not the place to talk. Let's find a car and talk slowly."
Su Yun said yes, picked up Qingqiuyue, put the little girl on his shoulders, held Li Xiaofan in his left hand and Hu Buping in his right hand, and quickly followed him, and Huahu also quickly followed.
There were too many scholars on the platform. They finally squeezed out of the crowd and came to the Cloud Bridge, where they saw scholars waiting for the bus everywhere, as well as some teachers and constables maintaining order.
Someone shouted, "The demons from the Tianshiyuan old no-man's land have invaded the city. Don't rush to leave. Wait until there are more people and leave together! Also, you must have a master or a constable in charge before you can leave!"
Su Yun and the others followed Qiu Shuijing and waited for a while, but still no mountain-carrying sedan chair arrived. At this time, a giant bird carrying a two-story building came over. Li Zhuxian opened the window upstairs, held his chin with both hands, and smiled at them, "Want to come up? We are short of a teacher."
The girl's anger came and went quickly, and she was no longer angry a long time ago.
Su Yun and others walked over, and Qiu Shuijing came to the second floor first. They saw that the second floor was much more exquisite than the first floor, with gold and silver inlays, warm jade and warm fragrance.
"You four go down, I'll talk to them." Qiu Shuijing said to Li Zhuxian, Qingqiuyue and others.
"Why!"
Li Zhuxian responded obediently and turned to go downstairs. When she got downstairs, she finally realized, "No! This is my car. Why did you kick me out?"
Qiu Shuijing's blood moved, forming a round shield that sealed off the second floor. He looked at Su Yun and Hua Hu in front of him and smiled, "It's been a while since we last met. You've all done very well. Qingqiu Yueli and Xiaofan's grades are also very good. I didn't expect you to be able to cultivate to this level after I left."
Huahu was sincerely grateful in his heart and bowed, saying, "Teacher, you have taught me well."
Qiu Shuijing shook his head: "I didn't teach you anything. You gave me money, and I taught you for ten days. Whatever you achieve is yours, and has nothing to do with me."
Su Yun thought of the five-zhu coin and felt warm in his heart: "Teacher..."
Qiu Shuijing raised his hand to stop him from speaking, and said, "I am not your teacher. Mr. Yehu deserves the title of teacher, I can't bear it. Yun, how did Zuo Songyan mistakenly think that you were scholars of the Tiandao Academy and the messenger of the emperor?"
Su Yun explained the whole story, and then took out several Tiandaoyuan tokens that he had obtained from the Burial Dragon Mausoleum. He said, "His misunderstanding should be caused by these tokens. These tokens were obtained from the Burial Dragon Mausoleum."
Qiu Shuijing was dumbfounded. After a long while, he let out a breath, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Song Yan is too smart. But this misunderstanding is both a good thing and a bad thing for you. Be careful."
Su Yun asked cautiously, "What do you mean, sir?"
"You are pretending to be an imperial envoy, and you are in a very dangerous situation. There are many people in Shuofang City who do not want the emperor's envoy to leave Shuofang alive."
Qiu Shuijing looked through the Tiandao Academy tokens that Su Yun had obtained and said, "Just now, I spoke to the ministers and teachers of the four major palaces to protect you, saying that you are not a human demon. But I am the teacher of the Emperor of Dongdu, and I have worked in the Tiandao Academy. If I protect you, it will make those with ulterior motives doubt your identity. Soon someone will test you, or even take your life."
Su Yun's heart skipped a beat, and he asked tentatively, "But I am not the real envoy. Will the real envoy protect me?"
Qiu Shuijing smiled and said, "You don't need to look at me. I am not an envoy. I don't know whether Shuofang City has an envoy or who it is."
The two of them stared at each other.
Qiu Shuijing continued, "Wenchang Academy is also very dangerous. This academy is full of good and bad people, and the teachers there have very strange backgrounds. You must be careful, as some of them are not good people. Every year, many scholars die in Wenchang Academy. Another thing, be careful of Zuo Songyan."
"Beware of Zuo Pushe?"
Su Yun and Hua Hu looked at each other in surprise. Hua Hu asked, "I think Zuo Pushe is a very good person, why did you ask us to be careful of him?"
"Zuo Songyan is a perverse person who does things in an extreme way. I studied with him when we were young, so I know him inside out."
Qiu Shuijing continued to look at the Heavenly Dao Orders, but frowned, and said, "He is like an iceberg in the sea, with only 10% exposed above the water, and 90% hidden under the water. His current exposed identity is the Minister of Wenchang Academy, and his hidden identity under the water is unimaginable!"
He used his own blood and energy to try to repair the Heavenly Dao Order. He said in a low voice, "This old classmate of mine is an extremely scary and dangerous person. Although he is not a bad person, his ideals and ambitions are extremely strong. If you get close to him, I'm afraid it will implicate you."
Su Yun's heart moved slightly. He really didn't know much about Zuo Songyan.
However, being able to control those "not good" teachers in the academy, Zuo Songyan should not be as simple as he seems.
Hua Hu was horrified when he heard this and asked, "Sir, Wenchang Academy is so dangerous, can we transfer to other academies to study?"
Qiu Shuijing continued to repair the Heavenly Dao Order and asked in confusion: "The best academy in Shuofang is Wenchang Academy, why do you want to transfer?"
Huahu was speechless and stammered, "There are only four academies in Shuofang, and Wenchang is ranked fourth. And the teacher just said that Wenchang Academy is dangerous..."
"Whether a school is good or not is not determined by its ranking, but by whether the things it teaches are useful. Although the three academies of Shuofang, Moxia, and Jiuyuan are highly ranked, they are only good at teaching what is in the books, and cannot teach things outside the books."
Qiu Shuijing stopped and said, "Their scholars look very powerful after they leave the academy, but they are all empty talk. They are fine when they don't fight, but they are all useless when they fight. Wenchang Academy is different. They can teach things from books, but they teach things outside of books better."
He said earnestly: "Although Wenchang Academy looks very rustic and the things learned are very messy, and you don't know when you will die in the school, but what you learn is real. When fighting for your life, the scholars of Wenchang Academy have a much greater chance of survival. In my opinion, Shuofang Academy can only rank fourth in Yuanshuo, but in the whole country of Yuanshuo, Wenchang can rank in the top three."
Su Yun and Hua Hu looked at each other. Although Qiu Shuijing was praising Wenchang Academy, the sentence "I don't know when I will die in school" still made them feel uneasy.
"The token of a Tiandao Academy scholar is called a Tiandao Token. Each Tiandao Token is a spiritual tool, not a spiritual weapon."
Qiu Shuijing returned the tokens to Su Yun, pointed at one of the jade tokens, and said, "Most of these Heavenly Dao tokens are damaged. I repaired them, but only one was fixed. You can try to imprint your own blood and qi on them. You can read the contents first. If you don't understand, you can come to me."
He smiled slightly and said, "I live in the Shenxian Residence in Tianfang Tower in the city. I charge money for teaching scholars. One Qinghong coin for half an hour."
"Sir, it's so expensive!" Su Yun and Hua Hu were both shocked.
Huahu muttered: "Teacher might as well go and grab it..."
Qiu Shuijing smiled and said, "Robbery makes money too slowly. I only accept 20 scholars and teach a class for only half an hour. Making money is much faster than robbing."
Flower Fox groaned.
Su Yun accepted the token and wondered, "There is something in this token? What is it?"
Qiu Shuijing looked at him deeply and said meaningfully, "Yun, you are still young. You should study hard and not be involved in these dangerous things. But since you are involved, then you should be a good envoy of the Emperor of Dongdu and don't arouse the suspicion of Wenchang Academy."
Su Yun stood up and said, "Please give me some advice, sir!"
Qiu Shuijing stood up, pushed open the car window, and said leisurely: "As the envoy, you should investigate the cases that should be investigated. If you don't, Zuo Songyan, the old fox, will doubt your origins. If he knows that you are not the envoy, he will not protect you, but other people don't know, so those people will still kill you."
Su Yun's heart tightened.
A cool breeze blew in, and in the distance came sharp whistles and bursts of light from magical powers. Even fire could be seen. It was the masters of Shuofang City chasing the monsters in the old no-man's land.
Qiu Shuijing smiled and said, "And if you check, the real envoy will also protect you."
Su Yun asked tentatively: "Sir, where should I start?"
Qiu Shuijing stuffed a roll of paper into his hand and said, "You encountered the Grey Robbery Monster when you first entered the city, so naturally we should start investigating from that."
He jumped out of the window. Su Yun was startled and rushed to the window. He saw the bird chasing the cat walking on the cloud bridge. The cloud bridge was like a silk thread hanging in the air. Qiu Shuijing had disappeared and was nowhere to be found.
Huahu said in annoyance, "I forgot to show the ancient book that records the secrets of humans and demons to the master. Oh, next time you go to ask him for advice, mention the book. If he wants to read it, then charge him!"
Su Yun closed the window, returned to the table and sat down, unfolded the roll of paper, and looked at it in the light of the ash lamp. He saw that the paper was a chart of the trend of the underground ash veins of the ash factory.
His heart moved slightly. The geographical map of this Jiehui mine was very much like the shape of a city, with connections in all directions!
"The lodestone vein is underground, which means there is a city buried under the lodestone!"
Su Yun raised his head suddenly and looked at the darkness outside the window: "That city is the trace left by the destruction of the previous world. What secrets are hidden in it? Why did Mr. Shui Jing ask me to start from here?"
Beside him, Hua Hu was thinking about something else and said, "Master said that Zuo Pushe is an extremely dangerous person and not as simple as he seems. So what kind of person is he?"
The two looked at each other with serious expressions.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Li Zhuxian called downstairs: "Second brother, can we come up?"
Su Yun waved his hand, and Huahu said quickly: "Miss Zhuxian, please wait a moment."
Li Zhuxian had no choice but to squeeze into the carriage below with his entourage.
Su Yun took out the intact Heavenly Dao Token, blinked his eyes, and smiled: "Second brother, the teacher said that the token is a spiritual weapon and contains something. What do you think is in this token?"
Zhaizhu: Do any book friends like the character Zuo Songyan? Zuo Songyan has been added to the character list. If you like Zuo Laotou, please give him a thumbs up!
