Xie Lili's eyes were full of excitement and he kept looking around.
Obviously just a moment ago, she was in a coffin shop and was put into a cold coffin, but when the coffin was opened again, she was already standing in a small courtyard.
It is surrounded by lush vegetation and there is a spacious and bright house behind it.
Eleven people came to the small courtyard with her, and they were all looking around curiously at this moment.
After a while, a woman walked out of the house. She was not a beauty in the standard sense.
The facial features alone are not stunning, but when they are put together, they can give people a rather comfortable feeling.
Just like an ink painting, a few strokes outline an indescribable artistic conception.
Even Xie Lili, a woman, couldn't help but look at him a few more times and secretly praised him in his heart, he was such a gentle person.
And that woman was not only outstanding in temperament. She had obviously never met the twelve people in the courtyard, but after just a few glances, she could clearly call out everyone's name and family background. .
"Lu Xiaofei, the young master of Qingming Villa, the passionate swordsman Hua Yuerong, the first god of the Imperial City Division to catch the eagle with nine fingers, the South Sea divine monk Master Xuyun... and the daughter of Xie Fu, the young minister of Dali Temple, I send you thank you Lili, who is nicknamed Female Zhuge, thank you girl."
The woman's eyes finally fell on Xie Lili, and she smiled at her, "Welcome to the academy, everyone. I am Xuanji, the new supervisor of the academy. You can just call me Xuanji."
"Is Xuan Jianyuan also a cultivator?" Xie Lili asked.
Xuanji nodded, "But I have only started to practice secret power not long ago, and it is not as good as other teachings in the academy, let alone Xu Ti learning."
At this time, Eagle Nine Fingers not far away suddenly interrupted, "Who is the most powerful practitioner in the world today?"
"I know this question," Xie Lili answered directly before Xuanji could say anything, "It's the great hero Lu Jinglu. Rumor has it that he is already a great monk of the Eighth Palace... He is also the only great monk of the Eighth Palace in the history of the cultivation world, Supervisor Xuan Courtyard, is this true?”
Xuanji did not answer the question, but just said, "Everyone, Si Tianjian sent you to the academy this time to learn knowledge related to strange objects. As for questions about cultivation, you can put them aside for now."
"If you are really interested, when the academy officially recruits new students in two years, you can ask the supervisors for recommendations. As long as you can pass the assessment, you can embark on the path of spiritual practice. However, I still need to tell you one thing in advance. Today's world The secret power between them has become very thin, and it has become increasingly difficult to practice the secret power.
"Practitioners who want to absorb secret power need to rely on the golden-scaled secret carp. This is why the academy's next recruitment will be two years from now. Before that, to deal with strange things, we have to rely on you and the sect behind you. Forces work together.
"Okay, let's stop talking here. I will let Uncle Chen take you to your respective residences later. He will also explain to you the various rules that you need to abide by when studying and living in the academy. I hope that in the next three During the month, everyone can learn useful knowledge.”
After Xuanji finished speaking, Uncle Chen also arrived outside the courtyard, so everyone walked towards the bamboo path led by Uncle Chen, except Xie Lili who did not move.
"Do you have anything else?" Xuanji looked at Xie Lili, her tone still gentle.
"Is the hero Lu Jinglu in the academy now?" Xie Lili said, blinking.
"Why, do you have anything to do with him?"
Xie Lili nodded, "He previously asked a friend of mine to help him investigate a matter. Now that the matter has become clearer, my friend asked me to tell him."
"whats the matter?"
Xie Lili smiled and said nothing.
Xuanji was not angry either, but asked again, "Is it important?"
"I don't know if it matters or not, but judging from his appearance before, he should be quite concerned about this matter."
"But he is not in the academy now. He just went out to deal with an urgent matter a few days ago." Xuanji said.
"Where is he?"
This time it was Xuanji's turn to be silent.
"Is there any way you can find him?"
"You can write down what you want to say and I'll forward it to him for you."
"Well, this matter may be a bit complicated. I still want to tell him in person. Don't worry... I'm not just looking for any excuse to find him. Although I do want to meet him, I'm not lying to you either."
Xuanji stared at Xie Lili for a while, probably thinking about the latter's credibility. After a while, she nodded and said, "Come with me."
The two then went directly to Ju County through [Well].
Then they set off from Ju County and headed for Qinglong Mountain. Before they reached the foot of the mountain, they saw a large army in the distance.
There were tens of thousands of people in this large army, with flags waving, but these people wore all kinds of armor and weapons. They were divided into several groups and set up their own camps, surrounding an earthen fortress, and they seemed quite wary of each other.
Xie Lili's eyes widened, "You said Mr. Lu is in that earthen fortress? Is he surrounded by people?"
Xuanji frowned when she saw this, but when the two women walked to the army, they found that there was still a road left in their encirclement, and a little medicine boy was driving an ox cart along the way. That road drove towards the earthen castle, and there was no one blocking it along the way.
When Xuanji and Xie Lili saw this, they walked up and called the little medicine boy. According to the latter, his name was Xixin. He fled here with his master from Wujiang City. On weekdays, he treated people in the earthen fort. .
However, the little medicine boy didn't know much about what was going on outside the castle. In his words, the troops outside had arrived a long time ago, but there were not many people at that time, only a few thousand.
Later, many people came one after another, and now there are more than 30,000 people. There are officers and soldiers, bandits, and some people organized by local powerful people.
Some of them still have some grudges against each other. There have been constant frictions outside the castle these days. Fortunately, no major disaster has occurred for the time being. However, no matter where they come from, they have always been very polite to the people in the castle, and they have not stopped anyone inside. people go out.
Instead, Xixin went to the city to buy medicine, and they even borrowed a bullock cart from the medicine boy, which flattered the latter.
The two women also knew that it would be difficult to find out anything from Xixin, so they decided to go to the earthen castle first.
Compared to Xie Lili who came here for the first time, Xuanji had already been here once before on New Year's Eve, but compared with that time, the atmosphere inside was obviously different now.
There were armored men everywhere, but there was no nervous look on their faces. Instead, they all looked cheerful.
Some people also carried out their ancestral Yanyue sword and were wiping it carefully, looking like they were fighting hard.
