Chapter 66 The old man and the past and infatuation
When the morning light was first dewed, Taoist Qiu Feng, the head of Tianyu Palace, walked to the Light Hall of Qingxu Palace.
The national master was wearing solemn clothes and a divine crown on his head, and sat upright on the most luxurious divine throne waiting quietly.
Taoist Qiu Feng was a little surprised when he saw the national master dressing in such formal clothes. He thought to himself that it was not the day of the great court or the time for sacrifice. Why did the national master dress so well? What is the important matter today?
The national master pointed at the white jade round stool next to him with his right hand, signaling Taoist Qiu Feng to sit down, and then he remained silent and frowned slightly and thought about something.
After a while, the national master said, "Senior Brother, Your Majesty summoned me last night, and I talked deeply with candles. It was not until I sent a message to you that I returned to the hall for a while. According to reliable news, several demon kings of the Demon Clan had crossed the snowfield in the northern desert a few days ago and sneaked into the Middle Earth Continent."
Taoist Qiu Feng was shocked when he heard this and asked quickly: "National Master, is this matter really the case? How many years have the demons of this level been invaded? They, are they going to start a full war?"
The national master shook his head, "The war started in full swing? The demon army is still north of Yinshan Mountain, with a total of less than 50,000. What should I do to start a war? His Majesty is worried that several demon kings disappeared after entering Middle Earth. Even if their realm is mysterious and there are countless magical weapons to cover up the aura, the Tang Dynasty's powerful people monitored the northern borders very strictly, and it would never be possible without a powerful internal assistant to help."
"National Master, the old Taoist has long heard that there are still remnants of demons lurking in the country. If the two sides merge into one..."
"Several disciples of Jingyang have gone to the north to search, and they can't think of going south in a short time!"
"Those are several demon kings, can the disciples of Jingyang... be able to deal with it?" Taoist Qiu Feng was a little worried.
The national master smiled in his eyes and said slowly: "There have been some years in the world that I have never heard of the reputation of the disciples of Jingyang."
When Taoist Qiu Feng saw that the national teacher seemed very relaxed, he didn't want to say anything more.
He thought for a while and then asked, "Your Majesty summoned you into the palace and discussed what countermeasures have you come up with?"
"Haha, it's interesting." The national master smiled, "Your Majesty is preparing to send King Duan to visit the Tiantian to visit Yinshan and reward the army and the people on the front line of the Ulanhai."
"Oh?" Taoist Qiu Feng's eyes lit up, Zhan Yan smiled and said, "Your Majesty is indeed a clever plan. In this way, Li Muyun will retreat. Once he goes to the border and discovers the demonic track in the Tang realm again, he, the Heaven-Shizhang, will not be able to escape!"
The national master's face turned solemn and said in a deep voice: "Don't he likes to hook up with Misty City? This time I'll let him hook up enough!"
Taoist Qiu Feng nodded and asked, "Since it is the prince who is on patrol, what is the title?"
"Pingbei!"
※※※
Outside Luofeng Academy, two Taoist men with frosty hair between their hair stood at the door, stretching their necks and unable to keep looking into the scene inside the courtyard.
The two of them are no longer young, with hope on their faces, and they are a little retreating. Their legs are unable to take a step forward for a long time, and they have been standing for a long time.
The general of armor walked out of the hidden place beside the courtyard, clasped his fists at the two of them, and said, "I haven't seen two lords for a few days, and I think you won't come. Since I've arrived here, please go in."
The two Taoists turned their heads to him, and one of them asked, "General Qin, why don't you stop us today?"
The general of armor smiled slightly and said, "The Palace Master has ordered that no one is allowed to spy outside Luofeng Academy at night, but it is different during the day, let alone the two adults have old age here, so please." After saying that, he led his right hand to the gate of the courtyard.
The two Taoists looked at each other and looked surprised. They bowed slightly to the general of armor and walked into the courtyard one by one.
When they arrived in the yard, they walked slowly in the ruins of the front yard. Seeing the scarred buildings left by the war in the past, the pavilions and the dragon-headed fountain. When they remembered the glory and glory of the past, they couldn't help but feel sad. Four lines of turbid tears rolled down, and the two of them cried bitterly while rubbing the mottled walls and broke walls.
After crying for a while, they looked at the magnificent teaching building that year that had collapsed so much that it was only about one-third of the height that day. The two of them felt sad.
After walking along the way, after passing the maple forest, the situation ahead was a little different.
That is the dormitory of Building A? When was the collapsed part on the left repaired?
There is also the sword house and the kitchen, which is as intact as before?
The solemn black building by the lake is the library? Is the paint on the wall newly put?
Opposite the lake, the row of meditative quiet rooms and the medicine garden gate behind, actually maintained their appearance as they were back?
The two gradually walked out of their sadness, and looking at the refreshing appearance in the inner courtyard, it was really hard to believe.
Both of them were professors from Luofeng College in the past. They were once trusted by the dean and loved by the students.
Once upon a time, they were both virtuous and talented, and they were full of energy and chose talents from all over the world to cultivate them. Peach and plum trees formed their own path without saying anything.
Just when Luofeng Academy was famous on the mainland and was at its peak, a huge disaster changed everything here and destroyed their lives.
Fortunately, the two of them had a low realm that day and were lucky enough to save their lives. The powerful men who stepped into Tianxuan were almost strangled by the angry dynasty.
After the storm, for more than ten years, the two of them refused to be invited by other colleges and silently became an ordinary priest in the Imperial College.
Due to the historical background of Luofeng Academy and the cold eyes and suppression of some major figures behind the scenes, their status and position in the Imperial College have always been in the most bleak class, and their own cultivation has also stagnated. If there were no exceptional circumstances, they would do the most complicated and cheapest errands all day in the most inconspicuous department of the Imperial College, and then end up in a state of depression and hatred.
In any dynasty, the most sinful evil in the Luofeng Academy was unstoppable. Unfortunately, the Luofeng Academy was even more serious than this one. It was to be enemies of the entire human race and the demon race and betray the entire Middle Earth continent.
The two of them stayed silently in the Imperial College, and lived a life of suffering and fear with infinite attachment to the glory of the past and their infinite guilt for the grace of knowing each other. Occasionally, they could hear that their former disciples were either promoted or their reputation gradually emerged, which was the greatest comfort in their hearts.
I originally thought that this life would be wasted.
More than ten days ago, an undercurrent suddenly broke out in the capital. It is said that the National Normal University will restart Luofeng Academy?
After more than ten years of hardship, the two of them were already a little dull. They didn't want to believe these rumors, but after hearing them, they just sneered.
Later, more and more news came, and the news became more and more serious. Until they heard that the successor of the national teacher had moved into Luofeng Academy, and the relevant departments of the Imperial College allocated funds to prepare to repair the abandoned garden immediately.
When the two of them heard this, they could no longer sit still, so they decided to go quietly to test the truth and reality.
That night, the two of them came to the abandoned courtyard gate together. Unexpectedly, General Yunyi, Qin Yue, appeared to stop him, and the two had no choice but to return.
But General Qin said, "According to the order of the Lord of Heaven's Palace?"
The Lord of the Tianyu Palace...?
Could it be the one who recommended the dean to become the heir to the state religion decades ago?
After the two went back, they privately sorted out a series of close contacts, and their excitement and expectations increased greatly!
So, today the two of them put aside all their worries and fears and came here again in broad daylight.
General Qin Yue treated him with courtesy and invited the two to the courtyard.
Various repairs in the depths of the inner courtyard have been fully rolled out.
In addition to the lack of many students from the past, it seems that this place has restored a bit of the sacredness and solemnity of the past.
The two of them were surprised to see the gradually rejuvenating campus!
The two discussed a little and decided to go to the library to see if they could find the legendary successor of the national master.
......
Ximen Guang didn't know where to practice martial arts, but Zhao Hanyu sat alone on the floor of the library hall, with a stack of books about swordsmanship in front of him.
He still felt that the sword technique was insufficient in his heart, but he had read all the similar books in the entire library. In desperation, he had to find some sword techniques that could only be used in a profound state to study in advance.
Just as he was about to open the second book I read this morning, Zhao Hanyu felt that someone was secretly watching. He turned around suspiciously and saw a head on both sides of the main entrance of the hall, but the sunlight outside was dazzling and the faces of the two could not be seen clearly.
Seeing that Zhao Hanyu had discovered them, the two of them stopped hiding and walked straight in.
Zhao Hanyu saw two young Taoist priests coming in. He stood up, held his fists and said, "My younger generation Zhao Hanyu, I'm not sure about the two seniors..."
The two Taoists came to him and stood there. One of them reached out and pinched his shoulders and waist slightly. He couldn't help but frowned and said to the other person: "Senior Brother Nan, this young man has not entered the country yet. Can he be the successor of the national teacher?"
Senior Brother Nan also frowned, thinking about how powerful the National Master is, how could he find a child who has not yet entered the practice of cultivation as his successor? He pondered for a moment and said, "Junior Brother Lin, ask first and then make plans."
Junior Brother Lin nodded and asked gently to Zhao Hanyu: "Child, are you really the successor of the National Master? Why haven't you successfully entered the country yet?"
Zhao Hanyu saw that the two of them had wind and frost on their faces, but their eyebrows were very clear. He thought that they were not bad people, so he replied respectfully: "Senior, I am indeed arranged by the national teacher to study and practice here. As for not entering the country... This matter is a long story. Is there anything wrong with the two seniors here?"
Lin and Nan looked at each other and could not hide their disappointment.
Senior Brother Nan seemed a little unwilling to give up, and he asked, "Child, you are the only one here. Has the national teacher arranged for teachers and professors?"
Zhao Hanyu shook his head.
The two Taoists were completely disappointed when they heard this.
Junior Brother Lin sighed and said, "Oh! How could the National Master be so playful? Since the college has been restarted, there is no teacher reserve. I will leave a young man who cannot practice here to die for himself. So... How can there be a time for Luofeng Academy to see the light of day again?" After saying that, he sighed.
Senior Brother Nan also looked ugly. He looked at Zhao Hanyu again, and carefully sensed the flow of breath around him, and confirmed that this young man really could not practice.
He shook his head slowly, stretched out his arm to support Junior Brother Lin's shoulder, and then looked around the hall reluctantly. In the end, the two of them left dejectedly.
Zhao Hanyu looked at the desolate backs of the two who were leaving, and felt a little confused.
The visitor did not indicate his identity, and he did not know the purpose of the two. He just felt that the other party was not a bad person, so he treated each other with courtesy and answered with kind words.
Seeing that the two of them looked sad and full of thoughts, he was unwilling to ask questions.
The two Taoists walked to the lakeside and looked at the gradually renovated buildings, feeling depressed and puzzled.
The two have extremely deep feelings for this place. They enlighten their wisdom, study, practice, stand out, and then grow together, glorify together, and then fall together as they encounter disasters.
Senior Brother Nan stared at the lake for a while and said, "This scene is clearly the attitude of restarting the college, but why is there such a strange situation in the college? It's very puzzling."
Junior Brother Lin said from the side: "Senior Brother, I hope that the academy will see the light of day again is no less than you, but... After all, it was His Majesty's personal edict that Prince Duan was here in person. Even the national master kept silent in such a violent suppression. Do you think there is really hope to recover here?"
Senior Brother Nan shook his head and said, "The dean is wronged and has not been reborn in the college for one day. I cannot close my eyes for a day! I want to go to Tianyu Hall and ask Lord Qiu Feng in person. Even if I die, I will die after seeing the new student enter the hospital." After saying that, his eyes narrowed and he walked out of the courtyard with a firm expression.
Junior Brother Lin walked behind and shouted: "Senior Brother, our grade is too low and we can't see the four hall masters!"
