Su Yun found Hua Hu and others, and not long after, Li Muge came. This young spiritual man, who had been very friendly before, had become a little stiff and reserved now, and he invited them upstairs very politely.
Su Yun and Hua Hu were puzzled, wondering how he could become like this.
"Are you possessed by a demon?"
Huahu whispered to Su Yun: "The whole village should have arrived in the city for dinner."
Su Yun's heart was awe-inspiring: "Second brother, don't talk nonsense. This is the outskirts of Shuofang City. If the whole village wants to eat, they also go to the inner outskirts, where there are more people."
Huahu whispered: "We have just entered the city and it is snowing. Maybe the demon is always around us."
Su Yun also felt uncomfortable, but fortunately those monks also came over and smiled at them with kind faces.
Su Yun returned a smile, and several monks also walked into the building, obviously living here. Li Muge whispered: "These masters are the gentlemen of our Wenchang Academy."
Su Yun was surprised: "Wenchang Academy is a temple?"
Li Muge shook his head: "Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are prominent schools, and they are found in basically every school."
The building was very dilapidated, and there were people from all religions and professions inside. On the way upstairs, Su Yun and the others met several Taoists and Confucian scholars in the narrow corridor. There were also a few people with sinister faces, who did not look like good people.
They even encountered a miner, a monster with a leopard head. He must have escaped here just now during the chaos. Because he was frightened, he forgot that he was scared out of his original shape and hid in the corner shivering.
Su Yun entered Li Muge's room. Li Muge took out a small piece of ashes from the small box on the table, only the size of a fingernail, lit it and placed it in the lampshade.
I saw the ashes slowly floating in the lampshade, and the light was dazzling, illuminating the room.
"This small piece of ashes can illuminate the whole night. When it burns out the next morning, it will turn into ashes and fall down."
Li Muge was a little embarrassed and said: "The most convenient thing about living here is that it doesn't cost money to rob the ash. If you don't have any left, you can go to the roadside of the ash factory to pick up some."
Su Yun was amazed. He also picked up some ashes, which were transformed into the flesh and blood of the ashes, but the shape seemed different from the ashes Li Muge picked up.
He took out the ash that was transformed into the flesh and blood of the ash monster, carefully pinched out a small piece, put the rest away, and compared it with Li Muge's ash.
I saw that the calamity ash transformed into the flesh and blood of the calamity ash monster was diamond-shaped, with sharp tops and bottoms, like dark crystals.
The robbery ashes picked up by Li Muge did not have this characteristic.
Li Muge was also a young man with a curious nature. He came over and said, "This is also the first time I have seen the ashes transformed by the Jie Hui monster. How about we just light one and see how bright it is?"
Su Yun nodded.
Li Muge fetched fire and moved it in front of the diamond-shaped piece of ashes.
boom!
The building shook violently, a room on the ninth floor burst into flames, the glass windows flew out together with the window lattice, and all the doors in the entire corridor were forced open by the air wave!
Not long after, Li Muge, Su Yun, Hua Hu, Qing Qiuyue and others stood by the official road downstairs, with patches of black and white on their faces, and their hair was singed, carrying their own baggage of all sizes.
.
Suddenly, another baggage was thrown down from upstairs and hit them at their feet.
"You little brat from Wenchang Academy, don't let me meet you again!"
The owner of the building leaned half out of the window and yelled at them: "renting to others costs money, renting to you costs life, you go ahead and eat the ashes!"
After a while, the monks also came down from upstairs carrying small bundles. The owner of the building accompanied them and said apologetically: "Masters, I'm really sorry that it's not convenient for me to rent it to you... There are other things in the building.
Who is from Wenchang Academy? Get out of here! Masters, please come here!"
The monks came to Su Yun, Li Muge and others with dark faces. Huahu lowered his head and looked at his toes, Li Muge also lowered his head to look at his toes, and Su Yun had an innocent and sunny but ignorant smile on his face.
The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and soon everyone was covered with a layer of snowflakes.
The leading monk said with a gentle face: "Sir, Pastoral Song Scholar, some accidents often happen to us on the road to study things and achieve knowledge. Don't let accidents shake your Taoist mind, and face the accidents bravely. You first go to the Academy to stay overnight.
Either go home to live tomorrow, or rent another room."
Li Muge said yes.
After a while, a giant beast waddled up the official road. The beast was carrying a two-story wooden building on its back, and there were lights on the upper floor.
Li Muge waved, and the giant beast stopped. The small wooden building creaked. There were actually people in the two-story building, and their figures swayed under the light.
The glass window of the small building on the second floor opened, and a messy head poked out, carrying a wine jar, smelling of alcohol, and asked: "Are you going to the city? Get in the car. Two coins for adults, one coin for children."
Li Muge climbed up first, followed by Su Yun and Huahu with three children, and a few monks at the end.
The first floor of the beast was already full of people, and there was no place to stand. Several people climbed up the wooden stairs. There were also several middle-aged men with fierce faces on the second floor who were drinking.
Several monks also walked up to the second floor. The leading monk knocked on the car window and said, "Let's go to Wenchang Academy."
"Wenchang Academy?"
The coachman who was carrying the wine jar was surprised. He was not drunk at all. He quickly put the wine jar aside and sat upright.
Several middle-aged men who were drinking quickly got up, walked down to the second floor without saying a word, and jumped off the stairs, not daring to stay on the beast.
Passengers downstairs also shouted: "I'm here, stop the car! Stop the car quickly!"
After a while, only Su Yun and others were left in the car.
The coachman was trembling and wanted to jump out of the car and escape, but he didn't dare. He had to shake the reins, and the giant beast let out an unwilling cry and walked toward the city.
Su Yun and Hua Hu looked at each other, and both had a bad feeling in their hearts: "Li Muge said that the atmosphere in Wenchang Academy is not good. It seems that it is not just that the atmosphere is bad."
Several monks closed the car windows, and the small building suddenly became extremely quiet and isolated from the outside world.
Su Yun looked outside and saw more and more high-rise buildings and more and more cloud bridges. Some buildings were too high and there were clouds floating around the waist of the buildings.
There is also a cloud bridge protruding from the clouds, and pedestrians walk on the bridge and stroll among the clouds.
The night in this city is not dark at all. There are lamps lit with ashes hanging inside and outside the buildings and on both sides of the roads, illuminating the city as if it were daytime.
Pedestrians took advantage of the night and snow to come out to play, and the streets were bustling with commerce. It was like a city that never sleeps, dazzling people.
There are more beasts on the road, some are running wildly, and some are very slow. The small building on the beast's back is illuminated by gray lights upstairs and downstairs. There are mostly young men and women in the building, drinking, having fun, singing and laughing.
.
The small building where Su Yun and his team drove the beast was unusually quiet. Even though it was winter, the driver was covered in sweat, and he was extremely nervous as he drove the giant beast on the official road and walked towards Wenchang Academy.
Opposite Su Yun, the young monk had warm eyes and said with a smile: "Young monk Tu Ming. The envoy came from Dongdu. I'm afraid he doesn't have a place to stay yet, right?"
"Call me the envoy again?" Su Yun was startled.
Monk Tu Ming's face became serious: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. We are monks from the Sakyamuni Academy of Wenchang Academy, and we also learned of the identity of the Supreme Envoy accidentally. The Supreme Envoy was ordered to come to Shuofang, and he must be carrying a heavy responsibility. Tu Ming could not
I dare to ask, but please give me Wenchang Academy an opportunity to serve the emperor!"
Hu Buping said quickly: "Monk, you have misunderstood. We are not envoys. We come from the countryside and go to the city to study!"
Monk Tu Ming smiled slightly, as if he understood everything, and said: "Your Majesty, can you please ask the Heavenly Order to have a look?"
Su Yun glanced at Li Muge who was standing aside. Li Muge looked at his nose and heart without saying a word.
Su Yun frowned, took out the Tiandao Academy token from his bag, and said, "Master must have misunderstood. We are really here to study, not to be envoys."
Monk Tu Ming took it, and several monks came together to check it over and over. After a while, the monks nodded solemnly.
"That's right, it's the Heavenly Order."
Monk Tu Ming stood up, held the token in both hands, respectfully presented it to Su Yun, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, please keep it."
Su Yun accepted the token, which they had found from the bones of the deceased Tiandao academicians in the Burial Dragon Tomb. A total of four and a half pieces were found.
They thought the jade was of good quality and originally planned to sell it in the city to get money to subsidize their expenses. However, judging from the performance of monk Tu Ming, this token of the Tiandaoyuan should be of great importance.
"Several masters, we are countrymen from the uninhabited land of Tianshiyuan. We encountered the Gray Tribulation Monster by chance. We also picked up this Heavenly Order by accident."
Su Yun said honestly: "We have nothing to do with Tiandao Academy."
Monk Tu Ming laughed, looked at the monks, and said in unison: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, we all know that the news will never leak out!"
There is no one in Tianshiyuan's no-man's land, this is something everyone knows.
The Tiandao Order of Tiandaoyuan is even more impossible to be picked up casually!
As for the Gray Tribulation Monster riot, it is not just a coincidence that we can encounter it!
What Su Yun said made them even more convinced that Su Yun and the others were the academicians of Tiandao who came to Shuofang for a secret visit on the orders of Emperor Yuan Shuo!
Several monks became excited: "Shuofang, there is a big case!"
Monk Tu Ming changed the subject and asked with concern: "Are some of you coming from the countryside to study? You haven't enrolled yet?"
Huahu shrank his head and said honestly: "We just entered the city and haven't looked for a school yet..."
Several monks laughed at the same time: "Yes, I just entered the city, so naturally I didn't enroll in school. The envoy has not enrolled in school yet. If he wants to go to our Wenchang Academy, our Wenchang Academy will naturally welcome him. Those who originally had entrance examinations do not need to take another exam.
."
"It's better to take the test!" Hu Buping said quickly.
Several little foxes nodded repeatedly and thought to themselves: "What if this Wenchang Academy is a big cesspool? We came to the city to study, not to fall into the cesspit to take a bath!"
Monk Tu Ming had no choice but to say: "That's fine. Let's take the test and go through the motions."
Huahu became more and more certain that Wenchang Academy was not a good place, and said with a troubled face: "Masters, we are from the countryside and have no status in Shuofang City. It may be difficult to enroll..."
Monk Tu Ming smiled and said: "This is a simple matter. We have no place to stay. Let's go to Wenchang Academy to sleep for one night. Tomorrow morning, the identities of the five people will be arranged properly without any flaws!"
Su Yun and Hua Hu looked at each other, and both had a bad feeling in their hearts: "Wenchang Academy is indeed the worst school in Shuofang City. It cannot recruit scholars, so it is determined to keep us!"
Qingqiu Yue was so angry that tears flowed down her face, and she choked with sobs: "If we fail the exam, we will definitely not go to your school!"
Monk Tu Ming and others breathed a sigh of relief and solemnly said: "Your Majesty, don't worry..."
Su Yun was also a little confused and explained: "Master, we are not the envoys."
Tu Ming looked around solemnly, and said in a deep voice: "Do you all understand? After going down from here, there will be no envoy from Dongdu!"
"Understood!" several monks said in unison.
A monk hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Brother, do you want this coachman to silence you?"
Zhai Zhu: If anyone asks for a picture, I will silence them. If you ask me to draw a ball, I can’t even draw it round! I can’t draw a gray monster, and I can’t draw a minecart! My daughter learns to draw, but
She was only seven years old and could not draw illustrations. She knelt down and begged to be let go!
By the way, the four foxes eating with the whole village have been drawn by someone. Is there anything you want to see?
