The acne-prone boy who was stared at by Ye Qingni coughed awkwardly and looked at Zhang Xiao and Ye Qingni, a little embarrassed.
Although he entered the academy three years earlier, he still didn't dare to take action rashly when faced with Zhang Xiao, who was extremely determined to fight, and Ye Qingni, the idol of the academy.
"hey-hey."
Fatty Zhang, who usually talks a lot, looked at Senior Pimples in a funny way and actually laughed mockingly without making a sound.
"Senior Fang Siqian is our captain this time. You freshmen are inexperienced and can easily anger the monsters and get lost in the Zhengyang Mountains, so the college has made a foolproof arrangement. If you are not convinced, you can go to Dean Chu."
At this moment, the thin monkey student, his brown cloth trembling, stretched out his finger, pointed at the acne-prone boy, and hurriedly explained.
"The freshmen are inexperienced? What if the senior brings the three of us to the territory of the demon clan, is detained by the demon clan, and is bitten by a beast infected by the emperor's energy?"
Fatty Zhao Hei looked at the two of them. Although he came to look for Zhang Xiao, he obviously didn't trust them.
"I have a map here. The direction and route are correct."
Fang Siqian's tall and thin figure swayed, took out a map from his arms, shook it a few times, looked at Zhang Xiao, and the three of them continued.
"Not only that, all the teams this time also have hidden missions."
"Hidden mission?"
Zhang Xiao and Ye Qingni looked at each other, then glanced at Zhao Hei who jumped away.
Zhao Hei shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he didn't understand either.
Ahem, Fang Siqian took out a piece of paper from his arms again, and saw an ancient rune on the paper.
"Have you seen that this ancient text has a strong literary flavor, and its significance must be extraordinary."
"Yes, the left side looks like dancing relatives, like fighting weapons..."
Before Fang Siqian had time to speak, Shouhou next to him hurriedly explained to several people, with a look full of superiority.
"Are you the captain, or am I?"
Fang Siqian looked at Shouhou with dissatisfaction for a moment, and couldn't help but interrupt coldly.
"Haha, come on, come on, I'm a bit impatient and a straight person..." Skinny Monkey scratched his forehead in embarrassment and explained politely.
"snort."
Fang Siqian glanced sideways at the thin monkey, cleared his throat and said loudly.
This rune is one of the runes used by Tianji Pavilion to deduce the general trend of the world. There is no doubt about its accuracy, and any rune like this that appears in Tianji Pavilion must be an earth-shattering event.
"Tianji Pavilion?"
Zhao Hei and Ye Qingni were shocked when they heard this. They looked at the ancient runes in disbelief, feeling that things were indeed not simple.
"Tianji Pavilion..., is it very powerful?"
Only Zhang Xiao stood there without knowing why, looking at Ye Qingni and Fatty Zhao Hei who had become solemn, and asked in confusion.
"Of course it's accurate."
Fatty Zhao Hei said firmly.
"Fifteen years ago, my father asked the experts from Tianji Pavilion to make a calculation for me. He said that I would revive the Zhao family. Not only that, if I join the academy at the age of fifteen, I will meet a noble person in my life."
"Noble?"
"Who is the noble person?"
Zhao Hei's words immediately aroused everyone's interest. Even Ye Qingni couldn't help but look at Zhao Hei.
Susu, Zhao Hei was not in a hurry to talk, but just like Fang Siqian, he took out a piece of paper from his arms.
On the small piece of paper, there was a simple drawing of a young man in Tsing Yi. The young man's shirt was torn, revealing whip marks all over his back.
"This was speculated by Tianji Pavilion fifteen years ago."
Zhao Hei's voice sounded, waking up a few people who were stunned.
"Isn't this Zhang Xiao?"
The thin monkey looked at Zhang Xiao and the piece of paper in disbelief, and stayed where he was in astonishment.
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now, the task is important."
At this moment, Fang Siqian's voice sounded, interrupting the conversation of several people annoyingly.
"You also understand that the Tianji Pavilion's deduction is basically at a loss. Not only that, I heard that in order to deduce the general trend of the world, even the Tianji Pavilion's formation was damaged this time. I think you all know the weight of this."
"Oh, so we not only need to collect onyx stones, but also look for this rune?"
Fatty Zhao Hei carefully put the piece of paper into his arms, but Ye Qingni snatched it away.
"Jin Yuanbao, why are you robbing this..."
Zhao Hei looked at Ye Qingni speechlessly. Although Zhao Hei was the only weirdo in the hospital who was not conquered by Ye Qingni's beauty, he was very polite to Ye Qingni.
"This is Zhang Xiao, of course you have to hand it over."
"Ahem, let me tell you a few students, the most basic qualification for this mission is to collect the Onyx Stone. The other one is to find this rune."
"Look at this rune, the left side looks very much like a Chang Ge, and the right side looks like a long bow and a city. It looks like some kind of method of forging artifacts. It also looks like a literary rune full of Taoist rhyme."
"You must know that Mr. Tang, the dean of Confucianism, also studied etiquette after receiving a mysterious rune."
Fang Siqian's face was full of yearning and solemnity, as if he had predicted the future and saw the supreme holiness, and he was full of enthusiasm.
"Are you sure this is a Wen Dao rune? Is it filled with words that refer to Wen Dao rules?"
At this moment, Zhang Xiao couldn't help but speak.
"Why, what do you think?"
The pimples turned red due to excitement. Fang Siqian lowered his eyes and looked at Zhang Xiao, who was a head shorter than himself.
"this···."
"This is obviously a dog character. Turn the paper sideways and see if it looks like a dog lying on the ground!"
Zhang Xiao looked at Fang Siqian speechlessly and said firmly.
"What? Dog?"
Fang Siqian seemed to be half struck by lightning, and was stunned on the spot, unable to speak for a long time.
"Oh, it really looks like it." Zhao Hei gave Zhang Xiao a thumbs up.
"Haha, it turns out it's a dog character."
Ye Qingni put away the piece of paper he snatched from Zhao Hei and smiled happily.
"How can you desecrate sacred things?"
Fang Siqian held the piece of paper high, his face red. As he shouted angrily, the pimples were shaking, which was a bit funny.
"Yes, yes, Zhang Xiao, although you have some strength, not even the teachers know this ancient prose, so don't talk nonsense."
Slim Monkey, who felt the atmosphere was a bit awkward, hurriedly smoothed things over out of enthusiasm.
"Hey, what's your name, senior?"
Ye Qingni's eyes lit up, like stars rising slowly, instantly lighting up the skinny monkey's face.
"I..., I, I, you just call me Skinny Monkey, the name is not important."
Some nervous thin monkeys waved their hands hurriedly while feeling uneasy.
"Haha, brother, I found that you are a good person. Let's go to Yahai and look for the Onyx Stone. No matter what the long sword, bow, or mysterious runes are, even if we find them, what does it have to do with us?"
Zhao Hei stretched out his short, fat arm and put it around the thin monkey's shoulders, feeling extremely affectionate.
"I found it. There are rewards in the academy. There are elixirs, boxing secrets and so on."
Looking at the four people starting to walk away, Fang Siqian shouted hurriedly, but no one responded. Zhang Xiao and the others were just that, and even the thin monkey did not look back...
I was isolated by them as soon as I took office?
Fang Siqian suddenly felt a burst of anger in his heart, and his face became gloomy.
The Qingshan cloth swayed, and Fang Siqian looked at Zhang Xiao's back coldly and sneered.
"You have offended the Tang family and Chu Liufeng, but you still don't know how to restrain yourself. You really have a right to die."
"In that case, don't blame me..."
The Zhengyang Mountains are like a ring, entrenched in the southwest of the Mingzun Empire.
Heading south from the south gate of Zhenglan County, you can reach Yahai.
To the north, passing through layers of mountains, is the Wenhe River that separates the Zhengwu Empire.
The Zhengyang Mountains rise from the ground. They do not exist independently, but they are the continuation of Dalong Mountain.
"So, the three empires are protected by Dalong Mountain and are connected by fate. It is for this reason that the monsters and barbarians in the west and north of Dalong Mountain have difficulty coming to the three empires of Mingzun, Zhengwu, and Wujiang."
Ye Qingni's careful explanation allowed Zhang Xiao to quickly understand the origin of Zhengyang Mountain, and Shouhou was also fascinated by it.
"Then, since it is difficult for them to come over, why do the monsters in the Zhengyang Mountains take the risk to come over?"
Although Ye Qingni explained it carefully, Zhang Xiao still didn't understand this question.
"I heard that the demon tribe is divided and often fights with each other."
"Huh? Zhao Huang'er, your Zhao family is really not simple, you actually even know about the demon clan!"
Zhang Xiao was stunned, and looked at the fat man carefully again. Apart from helplessness, this fat man's face was full of honesty, and there was no hint of cunning that he should have.
"Brother Zhang, can you please stop calling me Zhao Huang'er and just call me Zhao Hei!"
"Why? Yellow ears don't sound good? Yellow ears don't listen well?" Zhang Xiao was stunned and didn't know why.
"Gee, Zhang Xiao, are you being stupid again? Yellow ears? What has yellow ears? Isn't it a dog?
