Li Ang opened his eyes, "Demon?"
"An alien that looks like life."
Cheng Juxiu said: "For example, giant barnacles are a huge group of barnacles half a meter long, connected end to end. They float and lurk fifty meters under the sea all year round, like underwater islands.
Once there is a ship or a creature like a giant whale swimming above it, it will rise quickly and eat up everything.
Wood, ceramics, rice, steel, cloth, and even...people.
Seventy years ago, our school officially captured samples of giant barnacles. Based on the direction in which the giant barnacles may have drifted from the Endless Sea, we drew a new chart and issued it to all merchant ships sailing in the East China Sea.
, this reduces the probability of ships disappearing in the East China Sea for no reason.
The purpose of Xuegong is "to gain knowledge by examining things, and then knowing by examining things".
Although we also explore the endless sea like the former Sui emperor, it is not to satisfy our own selfish desires, but to explore the unknown.
You will understand this once you enter the Academy.
Every year, the Academy organizes senior students to go to various parts of Yu State and even abroad to engage in exploration and practice."
"In fact, this is also the reason why the academy insists on recruiting only disciples with spiritual vein talents."
Pu Liuxuan on the side added: "There really are demons in this world.
It is the Academy, the Zhenfu Division, the Ministry of War, and the Haotian Dao Sect that isolate the existence of demons from ordinary people.
In addition to demons, there are three other types of monsters: demons, weirdos, and weirdos.
Monsters refer to aliens that resemble creatures in appearance. For example, the wild boar with tusks as tall as a person that was caught in the mountains by Fusi in Zhenzhou ten years ago is a monster.
It's just that apart from being huge, it has no merits.
It's so different from the ones I've seen before.
Demons refer to aliens that resemble humans in appearance.
Alien refers to aliens that are inanimate in appearance. For example, whisks, swords, crossbows, armor, etc. that can move on their own and have various weird appearances.
As for the weird... it is the most unpredictable and dangerous of the four alien species.
It can be a sentence, a dance, or even...a phenomenon.
The original purpose of the academy was to explore the unknown, collect information about monsters, demons, weirdness, and weirdness, and find ways to exterminate them, or suppress or contain them.
Protect ordinary people under the huge shadow cast by the weird."
After Pu Liuxuan said that, he looked at Li Ang quietly. He originally expected to see a frightened expression on Li Ang's face, but he didn't expect Li Ang to ponder and immediately asked, "Demon, devil, weird, weird.
It turns out that this is the case. No wonder all the storybooks, dramas, and fantasy novels only have a few words and no detailed descriptions.
Is the Academy deliberately concealing, or downplaying, the existence of aliens to protect ordinary people?"
"That's right."
Pu Liuxuan nodded and said: "For ordinary people, the less they know, the safer they are.
Like a demon, it's easier to say that it's a demon,
Some aliens and strange creatures, even if they are just aware of them, will bring death to themselves.
In fact, for some strange creatures, the more people know about them, the more powerful they become."
Pu Liuxuan paused for a moment and said slowly: "As for the countries in the world that believe in Haotian Dao Sect, the bells that ring in Chenzheng and Xuzheng every day actually play a role in driving away evil spirits.
The bell that gathers the power of hundreds of millions of people can directly extinguish the remaining flames of evil spirits and deprive them of the soil for survival.
Therefore, the more peaceful the world is, the less evil there will be.
The more rampant war disasters become in the world, the more people die, the weaker the orthodoxy becomes, and the more evil spirits there are."
"The troubled times in the late Sui Dynasty..."
"When the bones are exposed in the wild and people exchange their children for food, the human world will be no different from the demonic world.
The demons are raging and there is no daylight.
And the purpose of our academy’s existence is to prevent that kind of thing from happening again in the Yu Kingdom.”
Pu Liuxuan said slowly: "Risheng, have you thought about it?
If you can really enter the academy, it does not mean that you will have a bright future, a smooth career, and that you can dominate the official position.
The Academy was built and maintained by the Yu State with all the efforts of the country. The disciples of the Academy have responsibilities and obligations, but also huge potential risks.
People cannot fully understand demons, demons, strangeness, and strangeness, not even the most powerful monks can.
Sometimes, being a rich man and living your life ignorantly is not a bad thing."
"...Teacher, I have thought about it."
Li Ang took a deep breath, "If I retreat at the last moment, then my reading of "Shangqing Inspiration Chapter" these days will be in vain."
"Haha, speaking of "Shangqing Inspiration Chapter","
Pu Liuxuan asked with a smile: "Have you noticed any feelings during this period of Risheng?"
"this..."
Li Ang looked embarrassed. It would be okay if Pu Liuxuan asked about his thoughts. He wrote a lot of thoughts in Memory of Another World.
But it feels...
Does the feeling of pain in the balls count?
"Then there is none?"
Pu Liuxuan shook his head, "It doesn't matter, there are only a few geniuses after all, as long as they can pass the passing line.
Juxiu, please take out the compass."
"good."
I saw Cheng Juxiu picking up a heavy iron box from the ground and placing it on the table.
The iron box was boxy, without any rivets or lines on the sides and bottom. There was only a raised ball on the top, which was engraved with patterns like planetary rings.
Cheng Juxiu flicked the ball, opening the iron box as easily as flipping the combination disk on a safe.
Li Ang glanced at it and saw that the box was filled with all kinds of sundries.
There were five or six small porcelain vases, four black iron balls, three silver ingots, three gold ingots and three copper ingots, two bound books, a square compass and a handful of gray candles.
Cheng Juxiu took out the compass and candles from the iron box and placed them on the table.
The overall compass is in a simple and profound black and yellow color, with a black and white Tai Chi Bagua pattern in the center. From the inside to the outside, it is divided into dozens of concentric rings, with words engraved in the grid of each ring.
For example, A, B, C, Ding, Wu are already Geng and Xin... Observe than peeling off the Kun Qian...
There are also some strange patterns engraved in some grids.
From the sun and moon, to dragons, phoenixes, unicorns, and even some strange beasts that cannot be named.
