There are academies in the world, which are known as teachers of the world.
Different from the Hidden Sect, which appears to be secluded but is actually ambitious... The academy is much better than the latter in terms of both external reputation and internal atmosphere.
They are like a group of knowledge seekers who love knowledge. They all have a fanatical pursuit of new things. Walking among them, you seem to be influenced by the fragrance of books and ink, and gradually become gentle and elegant...
If it weren't for a reason, Chu Tianxiao, who had traveled all the way and finally set foot here, really wanted to study it carefully, read a book, or discuss something with the students in the academy here. There are many top talents in the secular world of China, who, when they reach a certain age, will come to the academy for "gilding", so Chu Tianxiao really met a lot of acquaintances here.
He and Lu Meir came here and used this excuse as a cover.
But a cover is just a cover after all, it is more important to get the real thing done first.
With this in mind, Chu Tianxiao, with the help of a student from the Great Zhou Dynasty, quickly found a qualified academy tutor, and then handed over the white letter paper given by the Emperor of Zhou.
Seeing that it was a letter from the king of the First Empire of the Divine Land, the teachers of the academy did not dare to neglect it and reported it quickly.
Soon, a middle-aged scholar with a tall hat and a wide belt came towards Chu Lu and the others...
It was none other than Gong Yangcheng who had been surrounded and killed that day!
It seemed that it was because he had fought alongside Emperor Zhou, or for some other reason... In short, he was quite kind to the two of them.
Only the sharp-minded Chu Tianxiao could see a hint of absent-mindedness in his eyes...
Faintly, he felt that something was wrong.
…
…
Green mountains, green waters, and lush bamboos.
Gong Yangcheng led Chu Lu and the other person and walked slowly across a bamboo bridge. After passing through a bamboo forest filled with fairy air, a simple yet ethereal thatched cottage appeared in front of them.
Arriving here, Gong Yang Cheng stopped, made a hand gesture with his right hand, stretched out his left hand and took out a piece of fine iron in the shape of a small sword, and then lightly drew it in front of his eyes.
An elusive aura suddenly appeared, making a slight sound like cloth being cut, and then a cloud-like airflow emerged, forming a vortex. Gong Yangcheng condensed the magic formula again, and a green light flashed, and the vortex retreated to the sides, making way.
"The dean's residence is far away and yet close at hand. If you want to enter, you must first open its formation."
Gong Yangcheng saw that Chu Lu and the others were a little confused, so he explained.
"The two formations are the Cloud Silk Embroidery Formation and the Thousand Scroll Flowing Light Formation. A cultivator who doesn't know the formations, even if he is a great cultivator, will be in trouble once he enters these two formations."
Chu Tianxiao nodded and watched carefully, but Lu Meir curled her lips, thinking that this dean was really cunning. It was just a meeting, why make so much trouble...
However, even though she was muttering in her heart, she did not dare to show the slightest negligence on her face.
"My two friends, here we are."
After walking a short distance, Gong Yangcheng stopped again and knocked lightly on an invisible barrier in front of him.
Although the thatched cottage was right in front of him, even Gong Yang Cheng did not dare to barge in.
But he lowered his head slightly, as if he was waiting in front of the barrier.
Chu Lu and the other person standing by also bowed their heads and remained silent, with a respectful look on their faces.
They are smart people, and they naturally know the deep meaning behind Gong Yangcheng's actions...
This is for outsiders to see.
It's also for my own people to see.
“… Just as I expected.”
A glimmer of enlightenment flashed in Chu Tianxiao's eyes.
"The dean of the academy, his cultivation has already reached the fifth realm."
"I just don't know if the breakthrough happened recently or a long time ago?"
As my mind was turning over a thousand thoughts, a breeze blew by, and with a creaking sound, the bamboo door was gently pushed open...
But the next scene made Chu Lu and the others stunned...
The person who came out was not an old man with an immortal look, nor was he a middle-aged man with a gleaming face, but... a little boy!
Upon closer inspection, this little boy has a sharp gaze, a deep temperament, and is wearing a red robe. He doesn't look like a "naughty boy" at all... I guess he is another old monster who has practiced special Taoist magic...
At that moment, the boy stepped forward, clasped his fists towards Gong Yangcheng and said, "Brother, are you here?"
Gong Yangcheng returned the gift and took out a piece of letter. Just as he was about to speak, the boy slowly shook his head and said, "The dean... just left."
After these words were spoken, Chu Lu and the others were stunned - they walked here eagerly, but ended up arriving here and leaving there right after them
Could it be such a coincidence
Don't you want to see guests
For a moment, Chu and Lu were both full of doubts, but Gong Yangcheng looked solemn. After pondering for a moment, he asked, "What is the situation?"
The boy sighed, shook his head and said, "...Liuheshu, secondary picture."
After these five words were spoken, Gong Yangcheng's expression suddenly became extremely ugly.
"Our academy is a courteous institution, but we shouldn't be bullied like this!"
This voice, with a hint of resentment, startled Chu Lu and the others - the person in front of them should have reached a high level of cultivation, it is impossible for him to be so excited over a trivial matter...
Then conversely, what big trouble has the academy encountered this time
"… I felt something was wrong from the beginning, but who would be so blind as to provoke the academy? Even if it was the Hidden Sect, they wouldn't act rashly…"
Before he finished thinking, Gong Yangcheng looked at Chu Tianxiao and shook his head, saying, "The dean is out, so it's inconvenient to entertain guests. This time, I'm afraid I'll be impolite..."
After hearing this, Chu Tianxiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He felt that this trip was extremely strange. He hadn't even met this person yet, but he was ordered to leave...
But at this moment, he would not be stubborn and say anything. He immediately clasped his fists and said, "Since your hospital is inconvenienced, let's visit again another day. I just wonder when your dean can come back?"
After this statement was made, the expressions of Gong Yangcheng and the boy became very strange. As if subconsciously, they all looked at Lu Meir... Their eyes were full of complexity.
On the one hand, they knew very well that the Great Zhou Dynasty was an absolute strong support to solve the current big trouble; but on the other hand... this "big trouble" was ultimately caused by a sentence from this girl...
Unfortunately, even Emperor Zhou cannot cure the girl's symptoms, so she can only seek help from the dean...
Such entanglements of cause and effect, layer upon layer of nesting, even though they have practiced Taoism for many years, they still find it strange and bizarre for a moment, and their hearts are filled with mixed feelings.
The feelings are really complicated.
Seeing this, Chu Tianxiao was confused about the situation.
Just when he was wondering if he had said something wrong and should leave, the boy suddenly glanced at Chu Tianxiao with a meaningful look in his eyes, and then… He turned his eyes to Gong Yangcheng and said, "Brother, why not let them have a try?"
