By the lake, an old man and a young boy walked together. The lake breeze blew by, bringing with it the old man's somewhat emotional voice.
"I grew up watching Qian Hua. After the Qingyu case, Zhu Buzhan was demoted and lived in a foreign country. Because he was afraid that someone would be detrimental to him, he entrusted Qian Hua to me.
When I returned to the capital this time, I saw something was wrong with this little girl, so I asked Zhao Zhen. It turns out that I have fallen in love with you. "Jian Xing looked sideways at Wu Gen and frowned, "I don't know what's good about you. You want money but don't have money, you want power but don't hold on to it, you're careless, you have a gangster air, you're better off just with your skin." Jianqu Pavilion.
Wu Gen smiled and said, "Thank you so much, Imperial Master, for making it possible. I'm grateful for my gratitude."
"Who said I would fulfill your wish?" Jian Xing glared.
"The Imperial Master condescended to find this boy just because he wanted to see what his character was like. He has already given his consent. Otherwise, with your power, you can use any means to capture me and send me to King Jinchun. Wouldn't it be easier? "Wu Gen looked at Jian Xing with a smile, and suddenly felt that the old man was much more pleasing to his eyes.
"Oh, you are quite clever, but your mouth is too bad. Where did you learn those bad words?" Jian Xing felt helpless, remembering that just now Wu Gen was scolding the street like a shrew. Even though he had seen countless people, he was also a little confused by the scolding. .
"By the way, Uncle Jian, who is Zhao Zhen and what is the Qingyu case?" There were a lot of things hidden in Jian's words just now, which made Wu Gen quite curious.
Jian Xing waved his hand, "Old guy, old immortal, Imperial Preceptor, Uncle, okay, the titles have changed a lot in a while, you are a snake, follow the stick, you should call me Imperial Preceptor.
Zhao Zhen is the old woman who accompanies Qian Hua. She is my member of Guiyuan Sect. In these years, she has taken the most care of Qian Hua, raising him as her own daughter. Whether things between you and Qian Hua can work out or not depends on her face. As for the Qingyu case, it doesn’t matter if I don’t know about it, it has nothing to do with Qian Hua. "
"Oh." Wu Gen then knew Aunt Zhao's real name. Thinking of the pipe pot in her hand, Wu Gen couldn't help but feel sad. It was not easy to think about her level.
Sensing Wu Gen's look, Jian Xing chuckled and said, "She just didn't want Qian Hua to make the same mistake again. She was also trapped by love back then, fell in love with a poor boy, and ended up alone for half her life. So, Zhao Zhen stopped her. You are also thinking about Qian Hua. Boy, there is still a mountain of running away between you and Qian Hua. This mountain is class, and this mountain is sad."
Wu Gen lamented and bowed deeply to Jian Xing, "Please show me a clear path."
Jian Xing stopped and said, "There are only a few roads, and not many are suitable for you. Join the Guiyuan Sect. Since you can't practice Qi, join the Imperial College. With your lazy temperament, you are destined to achieve nothing. .
After thinking about it, you might as well go to the Shenwu Academy to study, and use this as a foundation for your career. In the future, if you join the army and make great achievements, it is not impossible to become a noble person.
The State of Zhao relied on military force to build the country, and the Shenwu Academy was specially established by the State of Zhao to train military generals. Although its status has declined over the years, it is still a way forward for few mortals. "
Wu Gen thought for a long time before tentatively asking: "Excuse me, Imperial Master, Mr. Zhu arranged these."
Jian Xing turned around and smiled, "Can you? You can guess that. Zhu Buzhan couldn't help you directly, so he asked me for help. He knew what happened between you and Qian Hua. In order not to let My daughter was sad, but for the first time, she changed her temper and walked through my back door. Tsk, tsk, boy, you are lucky."
Wu Gen let out a long breath, and a stone fell to the ground in his heart, "Okay, I'll go to Shenwu Academy. I just want the Imperial Master to tell me where Qian Hua is now."
"Don't even think about seeing Qian Hua. She is already practicing in Guiyuan Sect and won't be able to come back anytime soon. Zhu Buzhan is not in the capital either and has gone to inspect local academic affairs."
"Oh." Wu Gen agreed, always feeling a little depressed, "But if I walk in the capital openly, will King Jinchun send someone to hunt me down?"
"Don't worry, in the capital, if King Jinchun dares to reach out again, the old man will let him know the seriousness. If he dares to do anything again, then he, Chief Zhao, will be looking for death. Okay, let's let it go back to the city. Someone will come looking for you from time to time." Jian Xing threw back the holly egg in his hand.
Wu Gen was convinced of this. Since Jian Xing could find him, how could he not know where he lived.
Since you can't see Zhu Qianhua, you might as well follow Jian Xing's arrangements, and things will always get better and better. Anyway, what's the point of such a great national master lying to a poor boy like himself?
In the inn, Wu Gen's irritable mind gradually calmed down. After waiting for a few days, someone sent the admission certificate from Shenwu Academy. This is a knife-shaped wooden slip with the words three hundred and one written on it, which also means that there are three hundred students in the courtyard.
Shenwuyuan is not in Fuli City, but on Geshan Mountain in the northeast of the city, more than fifty miles away from the city.
Now that the admission procedures have been completed, Wu Gen rushed to Shenwu Academy on his own. With hope, my mood has improved a lot.
All the way through the fields, there are waves of wheat rolling everywhere, willows are green, the smell of earth and grass are mixed together, like long-brewed wine, and from time to time, drunken rabbits and badgers stumble out of the grass. Seeing such a scene, Wu Gen's tense heartstrings relaxed. It was a good day to be able to walk freely without being hunted.
A huge mountain appeared in front of him, towering up to heaven and earth, with dangerous peaks standing tall. This mountain is the highest peak of the nearby mountains. The green mountains on both sides are winding for countless miles under the blue sky.
Looking up, the mountains are rugged with strange rocks, the rocks look like broken rocks, and the cliffs are as steep as an axe. There are forests of pine and maple on the mountain, with tender green, goose yellow, and indigo, all changing and intertwined. Together with the rumbling waterfalls, it makes the place beautiful and clear. No wonder the Zhao Kingdom has the highest academy for practicing martial arts, Qi training, vertical and horizontal skills, etc. Gather here.
There are several mountain roads winding up at the foot of the mountain, and there is an archway at each intersection. Wu Gen couldn't help but feel a little confused, which way was the way to the Shenwu Academy.
There was silence in front of the mountain, and no one could be found to ask. It can be seen that Zhao Guo was very relieved about this place and did not bother to send anyone to guard it. Also, the people who can come here are all outstanding in their respective fields, who would come here to cause trouble without opening their eyes.
He stretched out his hand and broke off a branch. Wu Gen closed his eyes. The branch stretched out and spun around in circles a few times. When he opened his eyes, the branches pointed towards one of the mountain roads.
We set foot on this road without hesitation. The mountain road was not tight. There were rough chiseling marks on the rocks on both sides, and no more modifications were made. One after another, the Qiu pines sprouted out of the rocks. The larger ones were vigorous and straight, while the smaller ones were not even tall enough.
Wu Gen was walking and admiring the mountain scenery. As he was walking, a person came from the opposite side.
This man looks to be about the same age as Wu Gen. He is dressed in gray clothes, has a purple crown on his head, has a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and is extremely thin. Two big eyes were suddenly placed on the thin face. The eyes moved from time to time, shining brightly, showing that they were quite shrewd.
"Brother, please tell me this road leads to Shenwuyuan." Finally seeing someone, Wu Gen quickly stopped him.
The young man looked at Wu Gen suspiciously and looked at the package he was carrying behind him. "You are delivering goods to Shenwuyuan. Be careful. Those rough and reckless men only fight and kill all day long. Be careful." beat."
"..." Wu Gen was speechless. He didn't look like a delivery person. He just brought more things, the package was bigger, and his clothes were shabby.
But then I thought about it, and I don’t blame people for misunderstanding. This season should have passed the enrollment day. Before coming here, I had inquired with the person who gave me the voucher. I am afraid that most of the people who could come here were from wealthy families, otherwise they would not be able to support their cultivation needs.
Just as Wu Gen was about to speak, he suddenly heard a buzzing sound in the air. Looking up, I saw a huge ship flying down from the top of the mountain.
The entire ship is more than thirty feet long. It is in the shape of a shuttle with a silver-white hull. It has a huge mast and a large flag embroidered with the word "Guiyuan" is whistling in the wind.
The ship passed slowly, a huge shadow passed over the mountain, and a heavy feeling of oppression came to my face.
What a big boat, Wu Gen opened his mouth wide. Although King Jinchun had used a spaceship to chase him last time, this was the first time he had seen such a large ship.
"Boy, you're lucky. This is the spaceship of the Guiyuan Sect. It's hard to see its true appearance on weekdays. This time someone from the sect happened to be visiting, so we were lucky enough to see the strength of the sect. It's a pity that we can't get on the ship for a trip. Alas." The skinny young man's eyes were filled with envy. It was obvious that this spaceship was difficult even for him to see.
Wu Gen smacked his lips and touched the holly egg in the bag. No matter how good the shuttle is, what's the use if I can't ride it at home? I'm looking forward to this bird's egg more and more.
Suddenly, a familiar scent appeared on the boat. With a breath like orchid and a bit of bookishness, Wu Gen suddenly raised his head, but at a glance, his face was pale.
On the side of the ship, a young girl was staring at the blue sky with her eyes on her chin, a hint of sadness between her eyebrows.
Wu Gen opened his mouth, but did not make any sound. He hurriedly followed the movement of the ship and waved his hands desperately.
The spaceship was near the foot of the mountain, and silver ripples appeared on the hull, which was a sign that it was about to speed up and set sail. The woman on the boat suddenly woke up and looked around in a panic. Finally, the girl saw the figure running after the boat at the foot of the mountain.
The girl suddenly covered her mouth, her eyes filled with mist, and she leaned out of the boat, staring intently at the funny-looking young man carrying a huge package.
Wu Gen ran and waved to the girl on the boat. He accidentally tripped over a rock and fell. The girl was frightened and stretched out her arm wearing a jade bracelet, looking at the clumsy boy worriedly.
Soon, Wu Gen got up from the ground, threw away the package on his body, rolled up his sleeves, exposed his strong arms, and did some somersaults towards the girl, baring his teeth and grinning, indicating that he was completely fine.
The girl burst into tears and laughed. She covered her mouth with one hand and waved the other hand vigorously. She held the side of the ship and moved quickly toward the stern, "Wu..."
"Qianhua..." The boy's voice echoed throughout the valley, "I'm fine, I'm back."
The girl nodded desperately, tears streaming down her face. They fell on the side of the ship along with the hand covering her mouth, turning into thousands of crystals and falling into the young man's heart.
The ship moved faster and faster, and the silver ripples turned into a curtain of light, gradually covering the hull. In the moment before the light curtain closed, the girl threw a silk scarf with all her strength. The silk scarf is like a white dove, fluttering and falling towards the mountain.
After taking a few steps, Wu Gen caught the silk scarf falling from the sky. The spaceship gradually flew into the distance, getting smaller and smaller, and the woman on the ship gradually turned into a small dot.
Watching the spaceship go further and further in confusion, Wu Gen put the silk scarf under his nose and took a deep sniff. The silk scarf still smells like that person. There are mandarin ducks in the lotus field on it, nestling under the lotus leaves, chatting with each other.
The spacecraft disappeared for a long time, and Wu Gen still stood blankly on the mountain road, holding a white silk scarf in his hand, silent for a long time.
"Brother, the spaceship has left." The voice of the thin young man came from behind.
"Shut up." Wu Gen didn't look back.
"..."
After a long time, Wu Gen turned around calmly and said, "Which way is the way to Shenwu Academy?"
"Oh, that one leads to Bixiu Peak, where the Shenwu Academy is." The young man pointed to a mountain road in the distance.
"Thank you." Wu Gen picked up the scattered packages on the ground, calmly walked down the mountain, and walked in the direction pointed by the young man.
"This senior brother, my name is Hu Jia. I study in Shaoyang Academy. I don't know your surname." The young man followed Wu Gen closely and asked anxiously.
"Wu Gen."
