The ice and snow in the Dengtian Mountains remain as eternal as ever, and Qingluan College is as quiet and peaceful as ever.
Gu Xinyin sat on a wicker chair, wrapped in a blanket, and looked at Xiao Mingxuan standing in front of him.
He looked at Xiao Mingxuan's wrinkle-free black robe, smiled, and said, "You like standing so much and don't like sitting. Why are you still so fat?"
Xiao Mingxuan glanced at Gu Xinyin and immediately couldn't help but cursed angrily, "How long has it been since you told such a joke? Also, your joke is not funny at all."
Gu Xinyin was not angry, but smiled even happier. He looked at Xiao Mingxuan and said: "You are not a hot-tempered guy with a bad temper to begin with. In my impression, I am also scolded by you the most, but recently you are always
He has a sullen face and doesn't even scold me, so I'm not used to it."
"I'm not angry or scolding you, but you're not used to it?" Xiao Mingxuan pushed up his brass-legged crystal glasses and said angrily: "You want to be happy if I scold you?"
"When some people are around you, you think it's okay, but once they are really gone, you feel very uncomfortable." Gu Xinyin did not respond to his words, but looked at the small courtyard where she was, feeling a little emotional.
He said this softly.
Xiao Mingxuan fell silent inexplicably.
Since Dean Zhang left Qingluan College, Vice Dean Xia has rarely left Qingluan College. Most of the time he has been sitting in this small courtyard, just listening to some analysis and opinions from Ailao Houshan. Many times he
He didn't interfere, and it seemed that his presence or absence didn't matter. However, when he was really not in this small courtyard and would never appear in this small courtyard, it really made people feel very uncomfortable.
It seems that everything here has his imprint, and he should be sitting on a wicker chair next to it, but he is no longer there.
“Sometimes I feel that living is boring, and many of the things I do are boring.”
Gu Xinyin looked at the sullen Xiao Mingxuan, smiled slightly and said: "But he said that no matter what a person does, no matter whether it is interesting or not, in the end it is so that he can feel at ease when he leaves this world. In fact, I quite agree with what he said.
.”
"I also agree with what he said." Xiao Mingxuan said angrily: "I just don't understand what you mean by these words now."
"Actually, giving is always happier than receiving from others." Gu Xinyin still didn't answer his question, smiled and said: "It's quite annoying for you to look at me now. If I don't appear in front of you anymore,
, do you also feel a little uncomfortable?"
Xiao Mingxuan suddenly raised his head, his brass eyes sliding slightly from the bridge of his nose.
He is the person in the entire Qingluan Academy who likes to analyze various data the most. At this moment, he also made countless analyzes on Gu Xinyin's words, and then he came to some vague possibility.
"Actually, you don't need to tell me the results of Ailao Houshan's analysis. Just looking at the look in your eyes when you came here, I knew the situation was not good." Gu Xinyin looked at him with a smile, and then said: "Zhang Ping's actions are very
Fast, even super fast. From his point of view, this strategy is completely correct. He also knows very well that if the chaos in Yunqin completely calms down, it will be possible for countless local armies to attack Zhongzhou City.
The situation will eliminate the military power he controls. So no matter from any aspect, he will attack Qingluan Academy soon. What I just want to know now is, with our current strength, can we keep this place?"
Xiao Mingxuan was no longer angry, and his bloated body was shaking a little, "As long as he can continue to fight, based on current judgment, the chance that we can withstand his surprise attack is less than 30%."
"The story of a man with mediocre qualifications who suddenly got a chance and suddenly became the king of this world may sound a bit ridiculous, but in fact, whether it is the origins of Thousand Demon Cave or Purgatory Mountain, or the legendary figures in those stories, which one does not have a unique
A huge adventure?" Gu Xinyin shook her head and said: "Dean Zhang is also an adventure in our Qingluan College... It is best to use adventure to deal with Zhang Ping's adventure."
Xiao Mingxuan was more sure of his inference. He looked beyond Gu Xinyin's body to the higher and farther Dengtian Mountains. He couldn't help but ask: "Do you want to go behind the Dengtian Mountains?"
"When I went to Tangzang, Dean Zhang was not in Tangzang. After Lin Xi went to Dahuangze, Dean Zhang was not in Dahuangze, and he did not go to Tianmo Prison. In fact, even if these things that happened later did not happen,
It can only mean that Dean Zhang went to the back of the Dengtian Mountains." Gu Xinyin did not deny it, and said with a smile: "I guess Lin Xi also wants to go to the back of the Dengtian Mountains. Regardless of whether it is late or not, I can at least go and explore the way first.
See if there is any great danger inside, you will die as soon as you enter."
Xiao Mingxuan began to believe that Gu Xinyin said so many strange things at the beginning just because of saying goodbye. His face paled a little, and he didn't say anything against it. He just asked: "Have you almost recovered your strength?"
"Lin Xi helped us survive the catastrophe at Qianye Pass and bought me time." Gu Xinyin nodded slightly and laughed at herself: "I have been really useless these years. I have managed to survive until now. I feel that I can be so majestic.
I met him, but I found that I didn’t seem to be able to do much against Zhang Ping. Even a few fire bosses would give me a big headache.”
Xiao Mingxuan was very used to Gu Xinyin's teasing speech. He thought about it silently and asked: "As far as this plan is concerned, after you enter the Dengtian Mountains, of course you have the highest chance of success, but what will happen to the college after you leave?
?”
"Move." Gu Xinyin looked at the surrounding mountains and said softly.
Xiao Mingxuan didn't hear clearly for a moment. He looked at Gu Xinyin with his breathing paused and said, "What did you say?"
"Let's just start moving later." Gu Xinyin sighed, "If we really insist on dying together with him, we really have no chance to make money."
Xiao Mingxuan took off his brass frame glasses and wiped them silently with a cloth.
If you can't fight, run away. This is a simple truth, but this is Qingluan Academy... It is really difficult for him to accept giving up a place like this.
There are very few pedantic people in the academy. Gu Xinyin knew that Xiao Mingxuan and the others could figure it out, so he just whispered: "Ask those old men to help me prepare something that can see light from a long distance. Send someone there
Guard the place where I entered. If I still can't see any signals I sent after I enter, it means that there is great danger in entering. It is best to let Lin Xi and the others think of other ways."
…
…
The entire Yunqin Empire is still in chaos.
The orders from the unrecognized Zhongzhou Imperial City Cabinet and the red-robed priests of Purgatory Mountain walking around Yunqin have caused countless collisions in the world of ordinary people and the world of practitioners.
The reaction of the Yunqin people was resolute and fierce.
Daoshi Academy is a famous training place in northern Yunqin. This academy specializes in sword and shield combat skills. Although it has not produced particularly outstanding practitioners in the past few decades, it has provided troops for the Yunqin front line.
With a large number of middle and low-level generals, it can be called a cornerstone academy of Yunqin.
Chen Anshi, the dean of Daoshi Academy, has always been the staunchest follower of Emperor Yunqin and was granted a hereditary official position. After Emperor Yunqin died and the eldest princess disappeared, he and Daoshi Academy became the northern opposition to the imperial city of Zhongzhou.
And one of the main powers of the Priest of Purgatory Mountain.
For Chen Anshi, his first loyalty was to the Changsun family. After the death of Emperor Yunqin, he was loyal to the eldest princess, Changsun Muyue. If the eldest grandson Muyue did not appear, he would naturally not be able to recognize the rule of the cabinet.
Under this premise, it is naturally impossible for him to surrender to the power of Purgatory Mountain.
Most of the buildings in Daoshi Academy were given by the emperor, so some of the temples are extremely splendid. There are large areas of stone flats between the buildings, and some purple incense burners are erected. The entire academy has a clean and dust-free atmosphere.
, however, today's Daoshi Academy is like the legendary sea of blood in purgatory, and the ground between the halls is covered with the corpses of countless practitioners and soldiers.
The eaves and branches were even covered with stumps and broken internal organs, and dried blood stuck to the walls and roofs, causing them to lose their original color.
In a large hall used for teaching, Chen Anshi looked at the door with a pale face.
Today is a gathering of several of the largest opposition forces in Bei Miao Province at Daoshi College. Originally, after this gathering, Bei Miao Province would completely break away from the orders of Zhongzhou City, and some forces from the Leng family and the Rong family would
was completely cleared.
However, this gathering was suddenly attacked by the priests of Purgatory Mountain, some believers, and practitioners who had taken refuge with Zhang Ping.
Although they were still at an absolute advantage in terms of numbers and combat power, the Daoshi Academy side suffered a one-sided massacre due to the sudden appearance of the "immortal" armor that defeated Lin Xi and others in Zhongzhou City.
In Chen Anshi's fearful eyes, Zhang Ping, wearing sapphire blue armor, appeared at the door of the classroom at some point.
"You...you're actually here."
Although the previous battle had been going on for a long time, and the opponent's appearance here had been a long-established fact, the significance of the opponent leaving Zhongzhou City and appearing here made Chen Anshi still couldn't bear it when he saw Zhang Ping appearing at the door.
He let out such a cry.
Zhang Ping ignored his cry, just looked at him and said coldly: "You should understand that you are still alive now, not because you are strong enough, but because I don't want you to die. You are close to the holy level, surrender to me,
I can help you break through the holy level quickly."
Chen Anshi showed a sad smile: "Although I am very afraid of death, I am even more afraid of being scolded by countless descendants of Yun Qin pointing at the grave."
"You still have some time to think quietly and change your mind."
Zhang Ping said this indifferently, and then slowly walked towards Chen Anshi.
Chen Anshi's body trembled uncontrollably. He had almost no soul power left, but when Zhang Ping was still more than ten steps away from him, he still let out a desperate cry, waved the sword and shield in his hand, and headed towards
Zhang Ping rushed forward.
Zhang Ping made no move. The broad sword and large shield collided with the armor on his body. His hand stretched out steadily and grabbed Chen Anshi's head.
Chen Anshi's consciousness blurred for a moment.
At the moment when his consciousness finally dissipated, he felt the fresh breath and last strength in his body being pulled out and swallowed by Zhang Ping.
With a snap, Zhang Ping put down Chen Anshi's body.
He felt his aura becoming stronger and slowly turned around.
His eyes were looking farther north.
