Chapter 22 Traditions, Ziplines and Voice-Changing Masks
A woman in black robe suddenly walked out of a room next to the corridor without any sound, startling Lin Xi and all the freshmen of the Zhige Department who had just followed the one-eyed black-robed lecturer up the hanging bronze staircase.
Jump.
However, this tall and thin woman was very kind and had a kind smile on her face, which almost immediately made these anxious Zhige freshmen breathe a sigh of relief.
"This is Lecturer Mu Qing. She will be responsible for your food and daily life here from now on." The one-eyed black-robed lecturer nodded to the tall and thin woman and introduced.
"Follow me." Mu Qing looked at the freshmen one by one, smiled friendly, turned around and led the way, while the one-eyed black-robed lecturer said nothing and walked back to the suspended bronze staircase. With a clang, he
After walking out, the bronze door was closed again, and the suspended bronze staircase was closed like a suspension bridge.
There were more than thirty rooms next to the corridor where the freshmen from the Zhige Department were walking, but Mu Qing, the lecturer, walked straight to the end of the corridor.
At the end of the corridor is a wall with many magnificent floral patterns, all inlaid with rare and brightly colored shells. After pushing the wall, the wall opened like a door.
Behind this door was a wooden staircase sloping upward. There were some ink paintings hanging on the wall next to it. Lin Xi looked at it curiously and saw that all the paintings on them were young boys and girls, some carrying long swords.
, some carried long bows, and some even carried giant axes as huge as their own bodies, looking very heroic.
"This is your senior brother and sister. As long as you can break some records of the college, in addition to extra credit rewards, your portraits will also be hung here after you leave here." At this moment, lecturer Mu Qing's voice came out.
The sound started, and at the same time, she pulled a ring on the wooden stair railing.
With a "whoop" sound, a suspended bronze staircase swept over again and reached the end of the wooden staircase, leading directly to the fifth floor.
In the corridor on the fifth floor, dark red velvet curtains are hung at every other section, and the floor is covered with a kind of cork, which has a faint fragrance and is very comfortable to step on.
"This is the room for you five girls." Mu Qing pointed at the five connected rooms in the middle of the corridor and said to the five girls from the Zhige department. Then she opened one of the rooms.
"Basically all the boys are a little curious about the girls' rooms. You can come over and take a look now. After today, you won't have the chance to visit." Professor Mu Qing took one look and couldn't help but peek inside.
The freshmen smiled and continued: "Now I declare the first rule of Qingluan College. Everyone's room is a restricted area. No one is allowed to enter. Violators may be deducted up to five credits."
"Five credits?" All the freshmen were in an uproar.
"What should we do if we have to chat with each other?" A freshman couldn't help shouting. This freshman was the golden spoon boy Musayama Murasaki who lost to Lin Xi in a bet.
Lecturer Mu Qing smiled and said: "Except for your and my private rooms, the rest of the Zhige Xinsheng Hall is a public area. You can all go there. There are many large lounges you can use."
"You can enter anywhere else here at will?" A freshman from the Zhige Department said in surprise.
Lecturer Mu Qing nodded: "Adapting to and utilizing complex environments is one of the courses of the Zhige Department. Except for your private room, all other rooms will not be locked and can be entered and exited at will."
After a brief pause, under the curious and surprised gazes of Lin Xi and others, she added: "This is a rule set by Dean Zhang, not only for the freshman hall of our Zhige Department, but also for our entire Qingluan College.
, Except for those places that require certain credits to enter, the rest of the places are also open, and you can enter and exit at will from all the peaks of our Qingluan Academy."
"We can walk around Qingluan College?"
"Yes, but I advise you to take it easy until you don't have enough ability and courage. Qingluan Academy accidentally breaks into some places every year, and not only one or two freshmen are scared into fools."
"Haha." Qiu Lu laughed loudly, but this young boy who had a problem with Lin Xi because the carriage was trying to get in the way found that he was the only one laughing.
"Why, don't you think what Teacher Mu Qing said is true?" He couldn't help but asked the people around him in a depressed voice.
Several of the Zhige disciples beside him looked at him as if they were looking at an idiot: "You look at her, does she look like she's telling a lie?"
Qiu Lu just glanced at Mu Qing and shuddered, his face turned slightly pale. There seemed to be a faint cold light on Mu Qing's face, and there was no hint of a joke.
Lin Xi was the first to curiously walk into the girl's room in front of him. Others have seen this world for at least ten years, but he has only seen it for more than two years, so the things in this world are more important to him.
Of course, he would not be polite in any way if allowed by the academy's rules.
"Please, this is our room, why don't we be the first to enter?" Hua Jiyue curled her lips and led the other four girls from the Zhige department to follow her in. With that said, her
There was no dissatisfaction on his face.
"Haha." Lin Xi smiled. This room is not small, but it should not be able to accommodate more than forty people. It seems that some slow-moving freshmen are destined to be squeezed outside the door.
The floor of the room is also made of blue cork. There is a wooden bed with a tent inside. On one side is a huanghuali cabinet and a desk. I don’t know if it was the idea of the middle-aged uncle. There is also a small partition inside the room.
The room is used for washing, and there is a small bathing pool made of bluestone. In addition, there are some green potted plants placed in the corner of the room. Sunlight and breeze blow in from the open wooden window. In the distance,
The mountains are looming, forming a perfect fusion of simple freshness and magnificent scenery.
There is a cliff under the window. Although there is a jungle grassland below the cliff, the drop of several hundred meters still makes Lin Xi slightly dizzy.
"What are those?"
Suddenly, Lin Xi was a little surprised. She saw silvery-white flashes on the tops of the hills where Qingluan Academy built majestic palaces with marvelous craftsmanship. Even many places on their hilltops had such silvery whites.
Flashing and rowing in the air.
They are silver steel cables that connect to several valleys among these mountains.
"That's the silver zipline." Lin Xi suddenly turned around and found that lecturer Mu Qing in black robes was standing behind her. "Now I announce the second rule of Qingluan College. All freshmen must not
Limit private fights..."
"Boom!" Her voice was suddenly drowned out by the uproar.
Even Lin Xi's face was full of astonishment. This Qingluan Academy can fight at will? Is this still a rule?
"I'm not wrong, it's just that I haven't finished speaking yet. You guys lack enough calmness and composure." Mu Qing glanced at these freshmen from the Zhige department lightly: "The second rule of our Qingluan College is that there are no restrictions on all freshmen.
Private fights must be carried out within the specified valleys. If there is a private fight outside those valleys, at least ten credits will be deducted, or at worst, you will be expelled from Qingluan College."
"Ten credits? Expelled?"
"Hiss", a gasping sound suddenly sounded in the room.
"To enter those valleys, do you have to slide directly down those zip lines?" Lin Xi suddenly thought of the world between him and the middle-aged uncle. There were slides in the teaching buildings of foreign universities. He didn't care about the ten credits.
He was expelled from the hospital and asked quietly: "Did Dean Zhang also do this?"
Mu Qing nodded approvingly: "This is indeed set up by Dean Zhang. It can save a lot of time."
"Then we can enter those valleys at any time to fight privately?" Qiu Lu and Mu Shanzi looked at Lin Xi with evil intentions at the same time and asked.
Mu Qing waved his hand to stop the Zhige Department freshmen who continued to squeeze in, and explained: "You can enter those valleys at any time outside of the prescribed course time. And each department has a minimum number of entries.
, the Zhige system means fighting with people at least six times a month."
"The reason why the students from the Zhige Department of Qingluan College generally have strong combat capabilities is because of the unique tradition of our Qingluan College." After a pause, this middle-aged black man with a very intellectual flavor said
The woman in the robe seemed to have seen through Qiu Lu and Mu Shanzi's views, and said: "Furthermore, our Zhige Department only stipulates the minimum number of entries without deducting credits, but there is no upper limit. In other words, you have to go inside every day and
It is also possible to fight with others, but all students who enter must wear designated clothes and voice-changing masks. Moreover, the terrain inside is modeled on various frontier battlefields, which is very complicated. After entering, you may not be able to meet your opponent.
In the final analysis, although this is fun and exciting, it is not a place to vent personal anger."
"Is that so?" Mu Shanzi was very disappointed and glanced at Lin Xi bitterly: "Then can't you shout inside, show your identity, and let your agreed opponent come for a duel?"
Mu Qing nodded meaningfully: "Of course you can, but the premise is that your opponent is willing to come, and you have to make sure you are not annoying, because in the history of Qingluan Academy, there have been more than one occasion where someone shouted loudly at yourself
After taking my name, I was beaten up by more than a dozen classmates."
"As handsome as I am, and so kind, I should show my identity and no one will come to try on me." Mu Shanzi said to herself smugly.
"Pfft", Hua Jiyue and others couldn't help but laugh out loud instantly.
"Teacher Mu, after we enter, will we be together with our senior brothers and sisters? Then won't us freshmen be beaten badly?" Someone couldn't help but ask.
"There is a special valley for new students that old students are not allowed to enter. However, there are no restrictions for you freshmen to enter the valleys of old students. Moreover, in all these valleys, the role of soul power is restricted, so you have the courage and
If you are interested, you can also go in and challenge your senior brothers and sisters. If you win three games, you will be rewarded with half a credit."
"Look, there's someone!"
At this moment, several freshmen who were also near the window suddenly exclaimed. Lin Xi turned around and saw silhouettes of people flying down on the silvery-white zip lines on several hills, like swallows returning.
Like the forest, it suddenly disappeared into the valley below.
