Chapter 264
Gu Hongying was carrying a small bag and looked up to ask:
"Why don't we go through the inner world's transmission channel, but go to Chang'an Academy from the outer world?"
"All of Kunlun's transmission channels to all directions have to be shut down for maintenance." Eric replied, "The teachers are worried that the man pretending to be the senior of Buyehou has secretly tampered with the transmission channels."
The transmission channel is difficult to construct and requires constant maintenance. If someone who is proficient in the formation makes modifications, even if the changes are only minor, various factors will shift after the operation, and the results will be very different.
"It's faster to go to Chang'an Academy through the boundary gate and take the high-speed rail to the surface world than to go to Chang'an Academy through other large-scale transmission channels in the inner world." Hao Zhizhi said, "Although it's more troublesome to transfer through the surface world, you can arrive in the afternoon if you leave in the morning. If you want to fly from the inner world's sword, with our current level, it is conservatively estimated that it will take a whole day to fly."
"But..." Gu Hongying hesitated, "Are you sure the gate to Chang'an Academy is here?"
Hao Zhizhi: "Maybe, um, this counts as, a great hermit in the city...right?"
The luggage of the five people was shrunk by a spell to the size of toys and carried in bags so as not to be hindered by the large and small bags. However, they were now in the police station, or to be more precise, on the street opposite the police station. Because they did not leave, the police standing guard at the door had already quietly locked onto them with their peripheral vision.
According to the locator in Hao Zhizhi's hand, the nearest gate to Chang'an Academy is in the police station.
Gu Hongying: "Can we go in pretending to be reporting a crime?"
Hao Zhizhi: "And then perform a disappearance trick in front of everyone?"
The reason why they were so troubled was that a detection and appearance formation was set up at the gate of the police station. After it was activated, it was connected to the wall. The most common invisibility talisman could not hide it at all. However, this police station was not a branch of another department, and there was no spiritual power fluctuation on all the people coming in and out.
This is the only way for students in Changan Academy to return to the surface world. The teachers in Changan Academy must know how inconvenient it is to open a door in this location, not to mention that there is such a complicated and deceptive formation at the door - they did it on purpose!
Yu Tu said quietly: "I now suspect that there is nothing wrong with Kunlun's transmission channel..."
Inform the five of them to report to Chang'an Academy today. If they fly from Kunlun Sword, without any accidents, they can arrive before midnight. But the worry lies in the four words "without accidents".
To be on the safe side, their best option was to transfer through the surface world, but no one expected that the gate from the surface world to Chang'an Academy was located in the police station of the surface world.
Gu Hongying nodded and agreed with Yu Tu: "I doubt it too."
While they were discussing, a sudden gust of wind blew up two fallen leaves from somewhere, which hit the eyes of the policemen on duty accurately. Then something very small flew out like a sword from a bow, and the formation at the gate flashed, vaguely distorting the outline of a human figure, but because of its extremely fast speed, it disappeared before it could take shape.
The only martial arts in the world that cannot be defeated is speed.
One minute later.
The five inspired people each had an invisibility charm and three acceleration charms attached to their bodies, and assumed a sprinting posture within the maximum distance where the formation would not be triggered.
Yin Li used the team-shaped heart-shaped musical note to count down:
【Three, two, one—charge! 】
Another strong wind blew by, and the man on guard blinked in confusion. Just now... was there a group of people going in?
He looked at the empty doorway and then at the empty space behind it, wondering if he was hallucinating in broad daylight.
It's broad daylight, so it can't be a ghost, right?
The five people rushed through the formation in one breath and braked their cars urgently. Gu Hongying rushed the fastest. He turned around and asked, "Can you locate it, Lily?"
Yin Li fiddled with a compass and said without even looking up, "Ten meters north, turn right."
Following Yin Li's guidance, they saw a door painted on the wall. There was a one-meter-wide green belt between the door and them. Gu Hongying walked over from the green belt to the path in front of the door and touched it. There was a hard concrete wall under his hand, and he couldn't find a gap that could be opened.
Gu Hongying: "Are you sure it's here?"
Yin Li nodded.
Gu Hongying thought about it and tried to inject a little spiritual power into the mural. His figure flashed and he immediately disappeared from the door. The other four quickly followed, and then...
They fell from the sky to the ground, as if it was the reappearance of the freshman orientation day at Miller Ker. The door was getting smaller and smaller, and it was reflected in their pupils. In the sky covered with white clouds, orange with broken gold appeared.
It was an orange-gold koi.
With a "plop" sound, the koi jumped out of the water and swam to catch them one by one. Yu Tu placed his hand on the scales of the koi. The touch was not as cold as that of scaled creatures, but smooth as almost satin. It had an extremely gorgeous tail, and every swing of it spread out like broken gold, elegant and beautiful, as if it was a fantasy creature that only existed between the lines.
The koi fish carried them upwards, and every swing of its tail attracted a large cloud. It carried Yu Tu and the others higher and higher. The door they had entered through had turned into a distant black dot, and was then submerged in the layers of clouds.
There was a whistling sound in his ears, and Yu Tu heard Gu Hongying shouting at the top of his voice:
"Where are we going?"
Yin Li had been in the inner world longer than any of them, so she had heard of this process:
"It's the blessing ceremony of Chang'an Academy."
Blessing ceremony?
Yu Tu was confused and shocked. They used their spiritual power to fix themselves on the koi's broad back, watching the koi carrying them higher and higher. The big orange-gold tail was getting stronger and stronger. Perhaps it was because the clouds were too dense, or perhaps it was because the koi was traveling at a very fast speed. Yu Tu vaguely sensed that the koi under him was changing.
Jinli broke through the flowing clouds, and a majestic and broad door appeared vaguely in the sky. The flowing clouds turned into huge waves at this time, which were about to hit Jinli and Yu Tu together. The roaring waves, the raging wind, and the dim light obscured the other companions. Yu Tu could not hear anyone's voice, as if he was the only one left in the huge waves formed by the clouds.
The protective shield formed by spiritual power seemed to be ineffective at this time. The cold water covered his head and face. Yu Tu covered his eyes with his sleeves and forced his eyes open. He knew what the blessing ceremony of Chang'an Academy was!
The huge waves were about to roll him off the koi's back, and the majestic and spacious door disappeared without a trace. Yu Tu held on tightly to the koi's orange-gold dorsal fin, letting the koi carry him upwards. Yu Tu heard deafening thunder, and the changes in the koi became more and more obvious. The orange-gold light became stronger in the rain and thunder.
The mines exploded on the flat ground, and the surging waves bathed the armor and scales!
When the thunder and heavy rain reached their peak, Yu Tu suddenly felt a lightness under his body. The heavy rain turned into a drizzle, and the sunlight penetrated the inky clouds. In the blink of an eye, the clouds dispersed, and the sky was clear. A giant golden dragon was bathing in the sunlight, and behind it was the majestic and broad door.
How can the golden scale stay in the pond? Once it encounters wind and cloud, it will turn into a dragon!
The friends were still standing safely on the dragon's back, each of them covered in a layer of light orange-gold glow, and the wolf just now seemed to be just an illusion.
The giant dragon brought them down slowly, and in the mist they could see the long stretch of ancient vermilion buildings, majestic and simple. They landed on the white marble square, and the giant dragon spread out into an orange-gold stream of light and sank into the statue in the center of the white square.
Yu Tu heard the applause, but perhaps because of the noise just now, they did not notice that there was a girl sitting at the bottom of the statue, and the applause was caused by her.
"That's amazing!" She looked at the five of them and said with a smile, "Not a single one is missing!"
Her eyes passed Yin Li and fell on Hao Zhizhi. The polite smile just now turned into a sincere one: "Are you Zhizhi?"
"Yes." Hao Zhizhi nodded, "Yuxin?"
It didn't take them long to talk, and they became familiar with each other, as if they were good friends who hadn't seen each other for years. The other four people were full of admiration for Hao Zhizhi's ability to make friends.
After they chatted for a while, Wen Yuxin took the initiative to suggest taking them to visit Chang'an Academy.
If Kunlun is composed of hundreds of endless snow-capped peaks, then Chang'an Academy is composed of architectural complexes of different styles from different dynasties. Although the area it occupies is not as exaggerated as Kunlun, it is not small either. At least during Wen Yuxin's introduction, they saw various flying vehicles, mainly riding horses, but there were also people wielding swords, sitting in sedan chairs, sitting in armchairs, and Yu Tu even saw a huge wooden fish.
After the huge wooden fish whizzed past, leaving behind a series of knocking sounds, Yu Tu and the other five could not help but follow it. Wen Yuxin said, "That's a fourth-year Buddhist cultivator, riding his own natal magic weapon, the wooden fish. The faster Jian Zhi knocks, the higher the flying speed."
"Except for those who have ideas for their own life-defining magic weapons and have successfully refined them, most people in Chang'an Academy still ride horses." Wen Yuxin said, "You can think of it as shared bicycles in the outer world."
Gu Hongying watched a horse with fire spewing from its mouth stamping its hooves and rushing out at a speed that a normal horse could not possibly reach: "..."
He pointed to the horse that had just rushed past: "Are you sure these horses are normal?"
Wen Yuxin turned her head in the direction of his finger, and the expression on her face instantly turned ugly. She said, "Wait for me for a moment" and rushed out.
A few seconds later, they heard Wen Yuxin's roar: "I've told you so many times to hurry up for evening self-study and calculate your time. Don't feed the horse with hot peppers to speed up! Which college are you from? Take out your lucky badge and deduct points!"
"A new variety? Will it not cause diarrhea if you feed it? Do you have a test report? Do you have a letter of approval from the academy? None of them? Don't quibble. I'll deduct points!"
The unlucky student who was caught handed over his lucky card deducted points with his head down, and used the lucky card to call himself a new horse. As for the fire-breathing horse, Wen Yuxin put it in a special storage ball.
After handling this small accident, Wen Yuxin came back and continued to take Yu Tu and the others to visit Chang'an Academy. Because there were so many building complexes in Chang'an Academy, the five of them were all holding swords, and only Wen Yuxin was stepping on a group of changing water splashes.
After introducing the main building complex where classes were held, Wen Yuxin led them forward:
"Chang'an Academy currently has only two canteens, one in the teaching area and one in the experimental area. This road is the closest to the canteen in the teaching area, and it also has the lowest risk factor. Unless necessary, it is best not to eat in the canteen in the experimental area, because—"
"Boom!!!"
A huge explosion interrupted Wen Yuxin's words. Black smoke billowed out of the windows of the five-story wooden building less than a hundred meters away from them. Many students rushed out of each window that was emitting black smoke. It looked like the scene of a terrorist attack.
Wen Yuxin: “……?”
She looked at the plaque of the building in confusion. Isn't it "Donglangxia" instead of "Qingmingyue"?
When did "Dongluxia" become of the same style as "Qingmingyue"?
Wen Yuxin was puzzled and could only conclude that he was unlucky today and happened to encounter a rare problem in the Dongluxia cafeteria.
"Normally there won't be any problems with the canteen at Donglixia. This time it was an accident." Wen Yuxin explained, "It looks like we won't be able to have dinner here for a while. I'll take you to eat at She Mingyue's."
