He followed the mountain path with firm steps, even though he was wearing heavy armor, it didn't seem strenuous.
However, when the setting sun shines on the heavy armor on his body, especially on the mottled rust, it still gives people a very absurd feeling.
Even generals in the army would never wear such heavy armor during non-war times.
What's more, this is the heavy armor of the previous dynasty.
It has been the sixth year of Tianjian at this time, and the previous dynasty has been destroyed for six years. It is inconceivable that he is still wearing such old heavy armor and can still stay in a college like Nantianyuan.
But whether it was the female instructor or the young instructor behind her, listening to this person's heavy and rhythmic footsteps, they only felt awe and no sense of absurdity.
Because this man was originally a general from the previous dynasty.
The heavy armor on his body shows that he is still loyal to the previous emperor and does not recognize the throne of Emperor Wu of Liang.
The most important reason why such a person could survive in this world, apart from his own strength, was that Emperor Liang Wu felt that he would not pose any threat to his rule.
Because his mission is to guard this deserted garden, and he is the guard enshrined in the deserted garden.
The worshipers of Nantian Academy are the same as those old hermits of Qitian Academy in the past. They are very transcendent existences. Except for not directly intervening in the affairs of the academy, most of their requests will be directly satisfied.
But the status of this worshiper in the deserted garden is even more transcendent.
According to what this female instructor knew, this "He" priest did not recognize Emperor Liang Wu's throne. However, when he could not change the fact that Emperor Liang Wu ascended the throne, he finally reached an agreement with Emperor Liang Wu and stayed in this deserted garden.
Here, it became a closed-off Nantianyuan for worship.
Such a character is destined to exist above the realm of divine confusion.
The only thing that puzzles this female teacher now is who is the person from Qitian Academy who came with the message?
In her confused eyes, the general in heavy armor took the letter from the young instructor behind her, and then walked back to the deserted garden and entered the depths of the deserted garden.
The famous trees and flowers in the depths of the deserted garden have long since turned into withered and rotten wood, and both sides of a stone path are covered with weeds like horsehair.
This wild grass is very soft, and it rises and falls gently with the mountain wind. It is silent, but even more desolate.
At the end of the stone path is a stone house.
The stone house in the deserted garden should be desolate and dilapidated, but it is definitely not what everyone imagined. The interior of this stone house is extremely luxurious, with the floor covered with white fox fur, and the top of the stone house is inlaid with many silver luminous gems, just like
They are stars.
In addition to the beds and furnishings made of precious sandalwood and agarwood, this stone house also has many rare fine wines in the world, and even warm food and fresh fruits.
The old man in the stone house is also wearing luxurious brocade clothes, and his long silver hair is combed without any mess, and each strand is like pure silver.
The most rare thing is that there is always a fresh air flow slowly coming out of the ground inside this stone house, which keeps the temperature of this stone house at the most comfortable level.
The closer he got to this stone house, the heavier and slower the steps of the general wearing forward heavy armor became.
The armor on his body began to vibrate inexplicably. Dust first began to shake out from the gaps in the armor, and then sparks slowly started to shake out.
Dazzling sparks first shot out from the friction between the edges of the gaps in the armor, and then clusters of golden chrysanthemum-like sparks began to appear on the surface of his armor.
There seemed to be many invisible forces in the air, like stars falling from the sky, constantly impacting his armor.
Finally, when he was only five steps away from the door of this stone house, all the sparks disappeared. Instead, like ice, more and more transparent crystal lines appeared on the surface of his armor.
These transparent crystal lines came from the vitality around the stone house. When the general wanted to step forward, there were more and more such crystal lines, gradually making the entire stone house seem to be frozen.
There was a slight muffled sound from inside the armor, and then several new cracks appeared on the surface of the armor, which quickly rusted again.
"Don't force it, otherwise I won't even be able to read this letter from Shen Yue."
The silver-haired old man in the stone house had been eating a bunch of jasper-like grapes slowly, as if everything outside the house had nothing to do with him. It was only then that he slowly raised his head and said lightly to the general outside the house. Got this sentence.
His complexion was like white jade, and there was not even a single wrinkle on his face. His appearance, his demeanor, and his voice at this moment all gave people a feeling of being extraordinarily pampered.
There was no response, just compliance.
The thick-armored general took a step back and bowed in salute. When he stood up again, the letter in his hand flew up like a living thing and fell into the stone house.
The crystal lines that diffused around this stone house have not completely disappeared, but when this letter passed through these crystal lines, it seemed to only stir up layers of transparent ripples without any hindrance.
The silver-haired old man quietly looked at the letter that flew in front of him.
He stretched out two fingers and slowly held the letter.
He even tore open the envelope and shook out the letter paper with graceful movements.
He slowly looked at the letter, but the look on his face changed a lot.
At first it was angry, then peaceful, then emotional.
When he shook his head, put down the letter, and raised his head again, there was a faint smile on his face, which was full of complex flavors.
"You probably won't believe that Shen Yue is going to die."
He looked at the general outside the room and said seriously: "Shen Yue, the strongest among the Three Saints in the South, is about to die."
The heavily armored general outside the house was shocked and silent for a moment. A voice came from under his armor, "Of course what you said is true, but I just can't believe it."
"I don't agree with him in many aspects of his life, but there is one thing I admire." The silver-haired old man's voice became a little lonely, "He never tells lies, and he is straightforward throughout his life and never does anything he doesn't like. What he told me in his own letter cannot be false, and if he had not had time, he would not have been able to compromise with me on this matter."
The general outside the house was even more shocked, but he had not read the contents of the letter, so he naturally had no idea what the compromise in this matter that the old man was talking about was referring to.
"Back then, I failed in a bet with him and imprisoned myself here. I did not interfere in the disputes in the court. He gave me another opportunity and asked his apprentice to set up this magic circle. As long as I have beaten you these years, you can rely on your own strength. If you have the strength to enter the stone house, I can leave this deserted garden and leave Nantianyuan. But you are limited by your talent. Even if you can succeed, it will already be twenty years later."
The silver-haired old man smiled sarcastically, "In terms of fighting with him, I was naturally defeated again and again, but he finally helped Xiao Yan win the country, but he happened to run into the end of Mofa Lingexi, and his speed from south to north was slow. Seeing that
I'm afraid he will still be eaten by the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the exhaustion of spiritual energy will hinder his own cultivation. In the end, his life will be exhausted, and he will ask me in turn. But the strength of the realm is related to talent and luck. He has better luck than me and is better than me.
It's normal, but in the end, he lost to me in terms of destiny."
The heavily armored general controlled his mind and asked, "What is he going to do?"
"The spiritual wilderness has arrived."
The silver-haired old man looked at the weeds in the garden and said calmly: "He has studied many different cultivation methods from the past, but he happened to find that among the new students of Nantianyuan's generation, there was a new student who had the same idea as him. He also happened to discover
He has developed a unique practice method that is most likely to be successful in the era of spiritual desolation. So he wrote to me to tell me that some of my practice methods may just be able to help this young man. This young man can also be regarded as my student. As long as this young man
If the young man and you can break this formation, he will also admit defeat."
The heavily armored general was not a man easily affected by his emotions, but hearing such words still caused huge disturbances in his mind.
To be able to have the same views as the Saint, one can imagine the talent of this new student of Nantianyuan.
"He inspired me to beat him."
The silver-haired old man's voice became softer and seemed ethereal in this empty deserted garden: "But it seems to me that he is almost dead. This bet is just asking me. He will make another bet with me."
I may not be interested in making an appointment, but if you ask me, I will accept it."
