Chapter 279 In the Name of Tradition
The end of the year at Hongshan College is the busiest and most stressful time of the year. In order to cope with the rigorous year-end test, students have to go between the two points and one lines of the library and dormitory all day long. Graduates have to actively prepare for the battle to seize the flag, and there is no need to repeat the pressure.
Almost every year at the end of the year, the psychological counseling room of Hongshan College is overcrowded. Students suffering from depression, rage, anorexia and other diseases for various reasons will enter and come out like products on the assembly line, which is spectacular.
For this reason, the students were once resentful and even organized small protests, believing that the excessive study pressure of Hongshan College was a serious harm to the students. Especially compared with those teachers who were condescending and leisurely examined the candidates, the students' suffering was even more bloody and tears.
But in fact, this is really the prejudice and pretentiousness of the students. The ones who are most under pressure at the end of the year are the mentors who are hostile to them!
"Every year, most of the important roles in the map are played by the mentors in real life. The hard work is hard to describe... The pre-rehearsal, the phantomized physical and mental adjustments, and all kinds of suffering are simply too numerous to read. Let me say one thing. When those students complained that they had to go to psychological counseling every year, our mentors had to go to outside the school to seek medical treatment because the psychological counseling room on the school was overcrowded, and it was fine if the medical skills were uneven, the expenses could not be fully reimbursed. The college's finance manager was a disagreeable person... I was drawn to participate in the flag-catching battle, and that year I only gained 15 kilograms of weight..."
Speaking of this, Zheng Liming couldn't help but reveal his true feelings. His fat cheeks and voice trembled slightly, and there was a crystal color flashing in his eyes, just like his belly exposed outside the magic robe. Such a posture was filled with tears, which made Bai Xiao feel awe-inspiring.
Zheng Liming, who is greasy, is so sad that the pain is probably to catch up with Bai Xiao and Qingyue's separation from life and death! Thinking of this, Bai Xiao ignored Zheng Liming's greasyness and patted his shoulder: "It's all over."
Zheng Liming was stunned when he heard this. What are you saying? I am being comforted? Hell, is there someone who will comfort me?
Since he became addicted to fried chicken, Zheng Liming has never been comforted by anyone no matter how trauma he has experienced! It is really awkward to listen to it at this time.
Fortunately, before Zheng Liming continued to get uncomfortable, Bai Xiao asked again: "Is it necessary to make such a big fanfare?"
Zheng Liming explained: "From the perspective of outsiders, it is indeed difficult to say what is necessary. If you want to test the strength of students, there are more concise and affordable methods than this. A battle to seize the flag makes all teachers and students tired of them. It is difficult to say what is necessary... But this is the tradition of Hongshan College."
Bai Xiao immediately understood.
In the southern continent, all kinds of ignorance can be prevalent under the name of tradition. These two words are like the gold medal of immortality that makes people stand invincible, and they are simply omnipotent.
"The Haotian Banner is the starting point of the Independence War in the Western Continent." Zheng Liming taught Bai Xiao history lesson. "You should mention this history in the textbook, but you rarely write details... It's very simple, because the current ruler of the Western Continent is the Ying family after all, not the Lu family. All the legends about Lu Hao are rarely seen in regular history books, but fortunately, we are Hongshan City. If you have time in the future, you can go to the third floor of the library to find ancient history. Among them, most of the history books written during the Lu family dynasty are collected there. But now I
Let me summarize it briefly for you: At the beginning of the uprising, Lu Hao's power was far inferior to that of the Holy Yuan Empire. Although he was amazing, he was limited by his background in the Western Continent. He had never been exposed to the cutting-edge magical technology that was firmly blocked by the Holy Yuan Empire. He only broke some blockades with his own strength and obtained some taboo techniques... Such power is more than enough to create some chaos unexpectedly, but to say that he can overthrow the rule of the Holy Yuan Empire is like a fantasy. And at this time, what is the problem he needs to solve the most?"
Bai Xiao thought for a while: "You need to organize enough companions?"
Zheng Liming was a little surprised: "Yes, it's his companion... It seems that you have really understood the Southern Continent a lot. Many locals in the South will have a first reaction to it. But in fact, compared to the power of a mere single man, the most important thing about the uprising is to gain enough supporters. At that time, the rule of the Holy Yuan Empire in the Western Continent was already shaky, and people who were willing to overthrow the colonists were everywhere. Even among the Holy Yuan people, there were many people who supported the independence of the Western Continent.
But the power of these people is dispersed and unconfident. The majesty of the Holy Yuan Empire has gradually settled since the war of humans and demons. The civilization level of the East Continent is far superior to that of the Western Continent. Even if they are separated by the sea of hope, people still dare not take the lead in lifting the anti-flag flag. Although Lu Hao has this courage, he also knows that even if he rises up, people will not trust him. He needs stronger bargaining chips to make people believe that the uprising can be successful. And this bargaining chip is Haotian Banner."
After a pause, Zheng Liming continued: "It is said that Haotian Banner is a magical creature captured by the Holy Yuan Empire when the demon race was defeated. It has the ability to control and suppress. Those who hold the Haotian Banner can easily defeat all enemies whose strength is weaker than their own. It is a magical thing with one enemy that is weaker than one. However, the Holy Yuan Empire at that time, felt that the situation in the Western Continent was unstable, so he handed over this magical thing to the ruler of the Western Continent at that time, the Wing King Yuanchu. He had the strength of the Jin realm at that time and was already a peerless master in that era. It was only one step away from the Apocalypse 1,800 years ago and the Apocalypse today, but it is undoubtedly all
The peak of individual strength. If you hand over the Haotian Banner to this person, no matter how many opponents there are in the Western Continent, they will be the mantis armed. Lu Hao decided to start from here and snatch the Haotian Banner. If you lose this most important suppression object, the deterrence of the Holy Yuan Empire in the Western Continent will be greatly reduced, while the power of the uprising will be overturned, and the strength of the strength will be reversed instantly."
"But naturally, no matter how stupid and incompetent the ruler of this kind of magical world is, no matter how stupid and incompetent the ruler of the Holy Yuan Empire, Yuan Chu was one of the few masters of the Holy Yuan Empire at that time? After Yuan Chu came to the Western Continent, the Haotian Banner almost never left, and it was not easy for Lu Hao to take this flag away from the number one master on the Western Continent at that time? But he finally did it. He not only took away the Haotian Banner, but also killed Yuan Chu, and directly threw the two most important weights of the Holy Yuan Empire in the Western Continent from the balance, thus opening the glorious prelude of the Western Continent's independence war. As the Demonic Academy founded by Lu Hao, it is natural for Hongshan Academy to hold a "flag-catching battle" to commemorate the independence of the Western Continent."
When Bai Xiao heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little respect for the ancestors of the Lu family back then.
In adversity, complete the miracle of cutting off the firewood from the pot and establishing brilliant achievements in one fell swoop... If there is such a historical background, the battle to seize the flag as a tradition will indeed have the value of existence.
However, Bai Xiao was also a little curious about how Lu Hao took away the magical creature in the Demon World that was related to the safety of the Western Continent from an opponent who was stronger than him?
Zheng Liming snorted: "Who knows? This is an unsolved mystery that has troubled mankind for 1800 years... The reason why Hongshan College later held the battle to seize the flag and became a tradition that has lasted for hundreds of years is because people really can't figure out how to achieve the miracle of winning the flag under that condition. So they try to make the students with the most active thinking and the strongest creative ability try to uncover new possibilities for everyone. In the result, the students of Hongshan College have indeed proved their abilities. Every graduate who won the title of Haotian Flagbearer has extraordinary personal abilities and equally extraordinary creativity. But unfortunately, even the most outstanding ones are still far from the miracle of winning the flag in real history..."
