Chapter 477: Martial Dao is Dead, Immortal Cultivation Now
The bell rang and the sun set. The students filed out of the Imperial Courtyard one after another. Except for a few who wanted to go to the off-campus martial arts club for additional training, most students went directly home to eat and rest. Night was not suitable for anything other than reproduction.
All activities.
The bell tower rang seven times in a row, and a flash of golden light rushed from the platinum tower to the imperial court: the principal's nightlife began.
The bell tower rang eight times in a row, the sky became completely dark, the gates of the imperial courtyard were closed, the lively college became silent, invisible ghosts wandered around the deserted teaching building, and the warm yellow street lamps were like lighthouses in the black sea.
Behind the teaching building of the Department of Imperial Guard, Li Ying closed the novel "I Really Don't Want to Be Favored" she had just bought, climbed over the window and went to the classroom to equip herself with a set of black robes and a mask - the mask was the product of "Qingguo" launched by Wu Lian Chamber of Commerce.
Li Ying thinks that this charming style is very suitable for her own taste.
After getting ready, Li Ying took out a metal badge and tapped it twice nervously: "Hey, this is one, calling zero."
"This is Zero, No. 1, please don't waste energy, and activate the telepathy if necessary." A mechanical reply came from the metal badge.
Li Ying immediately felt at ease and walked through the academy along the edge of the light. Although there were teachers stationed and patrolling in the academy, the imperial courtyard was obviously too big for just a few people to see. As long as you were more careful and kept the number of people small, you could stay at night.
It is almost impossible to find it in the Imperial Court.
In fact, 'staying in the Royal Courtyard late at night to play' can be included in the list of "one thing you must do before graduation" in the minds of many students. Some students even play it to death - the kind that means life +1, the life -1
It's not that there was nothing, it's just that those students were dealt with quickly by the court before Cha Huan lost his temper, otherwise Cha Huan's action would not have been a matter of killing a few students.
Sleeping over at the Academy was originally a very serious disciplinary violation, but after Cha Huan came to power, the punishment for sleeping over at the Academy became humiliating toilet cleaning and sweeping the streets. According to gossip, Cha Huan used to be an advanced violator of school rules who often stayed over at the Academy.
, so his attitude towards the students who violated the rules was contemptuous: "Isn't it, isn't it? Even sleeping in the academy can be found? Are this class of students so embarrassing?"
Therefore, it is not difficult for Li Ying to hide in the imperial courtyard at night, but she is not just for fun, but to carry out a secret mission!
She is now the Brilliant Spy·Shuiyun Thorn·Secret Investigator·Li Ying!
It took more than ten minutes for Li Ying to arrive at the west area of the Imperial Courtyard, and an abandoned teaching building appeared in front of her. The teaching building did not remain unchanged forever, but was constantly relocated around the Wanxiang Forest, and was moved every few decades.
I will change the location. After all, the teaching building has suffered too much wear and tear. The building is too old and has no repair value. It is better to build a new one directly and let the newly graduated students experience the joy of "renovating the school as soon as I graduate".
The changes in the teaching building also vaguely represent the attitude of the Imperial Academy: everything will age, embracing new life is the right way, and the only constant is the change of the times.
There are only a few landmarks in the Imperial Palace that have not changed, such as the Platinum Tower, Shirobako Library, and Yanwu Plaza.
The abandoned teaching building will not be demolished immediately, but will be provided for students to carry out club activities. When Li Ying arrived, she saw a sign hanging at the door of the first-floor classroom: "Nail Art Club".
Hey? Is there such a club in the college? I really want to do a manicure too!
Li Ying became curious, so she pressed against the window and turned on the shining stone light to get a glimpse of the scenery of the nail salon.
As the lights dispelled the darkness, the reality of the nail salon reflected in Li Ying's eyes: she saw colorful, glittering gold, bright red, coquettish blue, mysterious purple...
...ancient armor.
A pair of ancient chainmail armor, medieval Mingguang armor, ancient Zhajia, modern mountainweed armor, and modern light leaf armor are displayed in the classroom of Nuo University, sparkling and bright.
She also saw the signboard with the full name of the manicure club: "Beautifying Ancient Armor Club".
"You deserve to be in this kind of teaching building..." Li Ying, who was extremely disappointed, muttered, turned off the lights and continued walking.
After walking for a few more minutes, she came to the second abandoned teaching building. But the difference was that this teaching building had collapsed and turned into rubble? Overgrown with weeds? Obviously the Imperial Academy did not intend to repair it. But the two-legged beast was not interested.
The place is naturally a paradise for animals. Li Ying stepped on the weeds and disturbed countless snakes, insects, rats, ants and rabbits.
As promised, she walked to the northeast of the ruins. Li Ying looked around but couldn't find the location. While she was groping, she suddenly heard footsteps from behind.
She turned her head and saw a man in black robes and an evil ghost mask appearing from behind.
"You don't know the place?" The voice of the evil ghost mask was full of suspicion.
"This is my first time here." Li Ying said honestly.
"Who is your superior?"
"Flying snow."
Evil Mask seemed to no longer have any doubts. He took Li Ying around the ruins and came to a covered underground passage. Li Ying knew at a glance that this must be the former teaching building of the Natural Disaster Department - only the Natural Disaster Department likes it.
Build a basement.
Before entering the underground passage, Li Ying knocked on the metal badge in the bag. The metal badge vibrated in response. Only then did Li Ying calm down and follow the evil ghost mask into the basement.
The basement was obviously a classroom before, but it had collapsed in many places and was half buried. But after walking in, Li Ying didn't pay attention to the environment at all. Instead, all her attention was attracted by the triangle on the pillar in the middle of the basement.
Very beautiful.
The triangle emits bright red light, and the light condenses into regular shapes in the air. Although Li Ying cannot understand it, she is still deeply attracted by the beauty of the triangle.
This is...the Blood Essence Stone?
How could it appear so easily?
The mission goal was achieved so easily that Li Ying wondered if she was dreaming.
Several people had already arrived in the basement, all wearing black robes and masks, kneeling upright on both sides. The devil mask also knelt on one side. Li Ying did not hesitate and sat behind.
After a while, three more people arrived. When the triangle suddenly lit up, the smiling mask sitting at the front stood up, looked back at the crowd and said, "The assembly has begun."
The smiling face looked around: "It seems that there are a few new people. New people, please raise your hands."
Li Ying and the other three people raised their hands and said with a smile: "We do not communicate with our true identities here. Please give yourself a code name and try to connect it with the mask. For example, my code name is Smile."
"Mountain Bear."
"Gray Wolf."
"Blackface."
"Witch." Li Ying said decisively.
He smiled and nodded, "Since there are newcomers, we must introduce the purpose of the gathering as usual. Dear newcomers, I don't know your purpose. You want to take the Ningling Pill to improve yourself, and you also want to use the Ningling Pill as a step to advance.
Or maybe you covet the Blood Essence Stone... none of this matters, because by the time you are qualified to join this gathering, those worldly desires are no longer worth mentioning."
"Perhaps you are also wondering why we sell the Spirit Condensation Pill at a low price, why we are willing to accept your joining, why we are willing to benefit others at the expense of ourselves... You are all smart people from the Imperial Court, and you must have thought about it a lot.
In fact, it is just as you think: the Ningling Pill is a threshold used to screen out dream chasers who have the will, perseverance, courage, and ideals."
"Only true dream chasers are qualified to join our great plan."
Smile lightly tapped the triangle with her finger, and the triangle instantly burst into sparkling light. An invisible storm swept through the entire basement. Li Ying even felt like she was about to be torn apart, but she couldn't even shout!
In an instant, the icy land, volcanoes erupting, meteors falling from the sky, swords slashing the sea, the sun and moon turning upside down, all kinds of strange phenomena flashed through her eyes, and the powerful power of moving mountains and seas deeply shocked her soul!
However, the next second, the storm disappeared without a trace, and nothing changed in the basement. Everyone was still kneeling in their original positions, as if nothing had happened.
"Times have changed, fighting techniques have disappeared, and martial arts are dead."
"Cultivation of immortality is the future."
He smiled and said: "Welcome to the Asgard Project."
