Song Qingbai had heard the system mention Chaolu Pavilion. This was the residence of Meng Wenyi, the dean of Zhenwu Academy, the most prestigious academy in the entire Shenwu Continent. It was said that it was extremely difficult for ordinary people to meet Dean Meng.
As soon as the three of them arrived at the door, a young disciple was waiting outside.
"Senior Brother Lin, Senior Brother Fang, Dean Meng said that Junior Sister Song can go in alone."
"Thank you, Junior Brother Chengyu."
Not only did Lin Yanzhou bow respectfully, but even the usually unruly Fang Jingzhi showed some rare courtesy when facing the young Cheng'an.
Song Qingbai stepped into the courtyard of Chaolu Pavilion under the gazes of Lin Yanzhou and Fang Jingzhi. Both of them waited quietly outside the door without saying much.
Chaolu Pavilion is located in the academy, and a barrier has been set up a few meters away. It is difficult for people who are not at the Nascent Soul stage or above to even get close.
Not to mention wanting to enter Chaolu Pavilion directly, ordinary disciples have only rarely seen Dean Meng a few times!
"Junior Sister Song, Dean Meng is on the second floor. You can go up there by yourself."
Cheng'an led the people in, passed through the rockery and flowing water, and after a long corridor, stopped at the stairs.
"Thank you, Brother Cheng'an."
Song Qingbai returned the greeting respectfully, but when he looked up again, Cheng'an was gone.
There are magic arrays everywhere here. Song Qingbai glanced at the stairs and then turned his gaze back to the way he came.
What was surprising was that the place where she was now was only a few steps away from the door, but when Cheng An brought her in just now, they had clearly walked through many scenes, which was quite amazing.
Song Qingbai carefully looked at everything in front of her. Every flower, every blade of grass, every stone and every tree were the core of the magic circle. These were the last time she gave the system a large amount of spirit stones given by Elder Yunmeng. The system was happy and collected many secret manuals about cultivation from the mall for her.
Based on the principle of learning more and reading more if you don't understand, Song Qingbai collected the secret books given by the system without any hesitation, and would take them out to read whenever he had time. There happened to be a book about magic arrays and magic mirrors in it.
Song Qingbai found it exquisite, and because she had fallen into an illusion in the Beihan land last time, she read it twice more.
"Now that you're here, why don't you come up?"
Just as Song Qingbai was deep in thought, a gentle voice came from the second floor, which immediately reminded Song Qingbai of Lu Qianyin.
This time she didn't delay and walked upstairs silently, and what she saw was a closed door.
Knock knock knock.....
There was a knock on the door, but no one came after waiting for a while. Song Qingbai thought of Lin Yanzhou and Fang Jingzhi waiting for him outside the attic. After hesitating for a moment, he gently pushed the door open and saw the void barrier.
A light bamboo fragrance hit him in the face. As soon as Song Qingbai stepped through the door, he found himself in a bamboo forest.
"Song Qingbai pays his respects to Dean Meng!"
In the deep and quiet bamboo forest, a man in a gray shirt was sitting in the pavilion. Song Qingbai only took a few steps and bowed directly when he saw him.
"Come, come, come and sit down."
The man had his long hair untied and his eyes were fixed on the chessboard in front of him. He raised his head when he heard Song Qingbai's voice.
He is very handsome, with naturally deep eyebrows and shallow dimples on both sides of his cheeks. His face makes it difficult to tell his actual age.
Unlike what Song Qingbai had imagined, he smiled and invited Song Qingbai to sit over, without any airs.
"yes."
Song Qingbai walked over slowly, but before she could say anything, Meng Wenyi gestured for her to sit down.
Occasionally, birds chirped and insects buzzed in the forest. On the table was tea, exquisite pastries, and a plate of unfinished chess.
"Please help yourself to the tea and cakes on the table!"
The initial hesitation in my heart when I came in was easily dispelled by the simple words of the person in front of me.
Meng Wenyi was playing chess very seriously, and he didn't care that his long black jade hair hung down on the table.
Seeing him like this, Song Qingbai couldn't bear to disturb him, so he poured himself a glass of water and then turned his gaze to the chess game on the table.
"System, what kind of chess game is this? It looks somewhat familiar."
After a while, seeing that he seemed to be trapped in the chess game, Song Qingbai secretly asked the system.
"Hey, host, please wait a moment."
After a short moment, the excited voice of the system appeared in Song Qingbai's mind.
"Host, I've found it, I've found it. This is the Seven Stars Exquisite Bureau left by the previous president of Zhenwu Academy. No one has been able to crack it for many years."
"Why did the previous dean set up this situation?"
Song Qingbai asked repeatedly.
"Sorry, host, this is a hidden plot, Ruyi, I am not in a position to reveal it."
"Never mind, never mind. I can't make things difficult for you. Did the previous dean ascend to heaven or pass away?"
"Neither. The previous dean entered Buddhism. His original name was Jiang Linfu, and he is also the abbot of Tianyin Temple today, Master Bukong."
"I see!"
Song Qingbai understood and began to look at the Seven Star Exquisite Game carefully.
"Host, host, although Ruyi cannot tell you why this game was set up, I can tell you how to solve it."
"really?"
"Seriously, host, please check."
With just a ding sound, some secret methods of playing chess suddenly appeared in Song Qingbai's mind.
"Go this way!"
After a while, Song Qingbai closed his eyes to relieve his headache. When he opened his eyes again, he looked at Meng Wenyi with a frown on his face, pointed at the chessboard and said.
A breeze suddenly blew, ruffling Meng Wenyi's long hair. As he watched the slender fingers flash before his eyes, he realized that he was fascinated again.
"Young friend, do you know chess?"
Meng Wenyi placed the chess piece as he was told, stared at the black and white pieces, carefully calculated the moves, then looked up and smiled slightly, with a hint of joy in his smile.
"A little bit, a little bit."
Song Qingbai felt a little ashamed. She was just a gunman with the system.
"You are truly wise to point this out."
Meng Wenyi smiled mysteriously, looked at Song Qingbai's flashing fox eyes, then lowered his head, picked up the smooth black piece with his slender fingers, and pressed it on the eye position of the chess piece.
In an instant, a beam of white light rose from the chessboard and shot directly into the sky, unexpectedly attracting colorful auspiciousness.
The changes in the air immediately shocked everyone in the academy. Until the chessboard on the table disappeared, Song Qingbai still didn't understand what had happened. Was the strange phenomenon just now caused by this chess game?
Meng Wenyi stood up suddenly. He looked at the helplessness on Song Qingbai's face and spoke slowly.
"My dear friend, you have done a great thing for the entire academy since your arrival today. Tell me, how can I thank you?"
When Song Qingbai saw him stand up, she also stood up respectfully. Since entering Chaolu Pavilion, Meng Wenyi has called her "young friend".
It seems that he is very easy to get along with. I have just arrived at Zhenwu Academy and haven't figured out the situation yet. It would be better if I had a backer.
Lin Yanzhou doesn't come to the academy often and is unreliable, and Fang Jingzhi is a love-brained person and doesn't seem very reliable either.
What if...
"Have you thought it through, young friend?"
Seeing Song Qingbai's confused face, Meng Wenyi asked again with a smile.
