Chapter 122 The Forbidden Training Room
The moon was as white as frost, and the training room on the northernmost side of the outer courtyard was silent.
Compared with the other simple houses in the outer courtyard, this practice room is more dilapidated, and it is also the oldest house in the outer courtyard. Before Qiu Chuzi established the outer courtyard, it was as inconspicuous as a weed that took root here. Yet it really exists.
The thatched roof in the shape of a chicken coop, and the moth-eaten board door are full of fist-sized holes.
Occasionally, a cricket jumped out of the grass and lay down on the door opening. When I looked in, I could only see a dark piece, and neither the sun nor the moon could shine into the room.
The training room is like a black hole in the depths of the universe, absorbing all the light that tries to break in.
There is no window, only one door, but this practice room, when the outer courtyard and the inner courtyard were split, became the only house that Qiu Chuzi asked to be assigned to the outer courtyard. The houses where the students lived were all built later. As a condition for negotiation, Mrs. Shexiang will go to Xuanji Pavilion.
Hundreds of precious Xuanji steles were exchanged for a dilapidated training room that was too cold to be used as a firewood room. This kind of transaction caused countless people to ridicule the outer courtyard. Even when Salman first came to the outer courtyard, he complained about how an old fox like Qiu Chuzi would do such a foolish thing.
Qiu Chuzi never explained this, until one day, when something happened, the senior officials in the inner court, including Mrs. Shexiang, knew that this practice room was not simple.
Ten years ago, a conflict broke out between the students of the inner court and the outer court. At that time, one of the only two students in the outer court, Aobei Zhan from Long Zhan, singled out the top ten students in the inner court.
At that time, Aobei Zhan had a cultivation base of Earth Mystery, but he had part of the blood of a berserk warrior. After unleashing his natal profound skills, he defeated the top ten students, but the profound energy in his body was also completely burned, and he was almost paralyzed.
The top ten students in the inner court were all from the aristocratic families of the Shang Dynasty. Nearly a hundred masters, including their family members and teachers from the inner court, approached the outer court and asked Qiu Chuzi to hand over Aobei Zhan.
With Qiu Chuzi's temperament to protect his weaknesses, he would not hand over Ao Bei Zhan.
This incident also alarmed Dean Shexiang, just when the dean of the inner and outer courts was about to fight a big battle, a sudden change happened, which changed the fortunes of the Aobei War and the outer court for the next ten years.
The people in the inner courtyard intended to attack the unremarkable training room, but just as they were about to break into the training room, a black wind blew up in the training room.
It was an extremely terrifying black wind, the blade-like bone-scraping demon wind was raging, and countless beasts roared and screamed, but those who approached the training room were all blackened, and their dantians burst to death.
Everyone thought that Aobei Zhan, who was sent to the training room, would not be spared.
However, a month later, the door of the training room opened.
Aobei Zhan walked out unharmed, his injuries were all healed, but it was also from then on that the nightmare of the Royal Xuanji Academy also began.
Except for the war years, the Royal Xuanji Academy experienced the worst casualties in the history of the school.
Also since then, the outer court lost a passionate young student, and the Dragon War Empire ushered in a blood prison battle lion that has only been seen for hundreds of years-Aobei War.
The first thing Ao Bei Zhan did after he got out of his roommate was to break into the residence of those ten students, and killed them one by one regardless of the obstruction of the guards all over the city. The ten wealthy families of the Shang Kingdom were all massacred overnight. At that time, the whole Poluo City was filled with the smell of blood. The wild dogs in the city had gnawed on the bones of dead people for more than a month.
After Aobei Zhan killed someone, he fled to Longzhan Kingdom, and met Long Ao, a master of alchemy in the Dragonzhan Empire. After being surrendered by him, he joined the Dragonzhan Empire and became the only civilian viscount in the Dragonzhan Empire.
The bloody storm caused by the training room suddenly subsided.
At that time, the king of the Shang Kingdom did not dare to offend the Dragon War Empire, so he had to swallow the matter and suppress it.
Salman still remembered that when Liu Xi told herself the secret of the training room, she was frightened and excited at the same time.
The matter did not end like this. After the Aobei War incident, while the dean was busy, another student from the outer court entered the training room privately without telling the two deans of the outer court. That student never came out again. , and even the body has never been found.
All profound practitioners have extraordinary enthusiasm for power, and Liu Xi is no exception. He discovered this anecdote in a history of the Inner Court. They sent people, including traitors, into the outer courtyard, and some people broke into the training room one after another, but except for Aobei Zhan and another student who broke into the training room, all the people who entered the training room retreated safely.
After they entered the training room, there was nothing but some murals carved on the walls.
After hearing this rumor, Salman also stood in front of the practice room countless times, wanting to go in and have a look.
She didn't blame the dean, on the contrary, she understood the reason why Qiu Chuzi refused to send Yue Jinghua into the practice room.
Aobei Zhan is an orphan, a war orphan brought back by the dean when he passed through the border of the Dragon War Empire in his early years, and the dean brought him up with his own hands.
No one could understand Qiu Chuzi's mood when he saw the student he had personally trained transformed from a bloody man into a murderous corpse who had completely annihilated his humanity.
The practice room brought great power to people, but at the same time, it also swallowed people's conscience.
Salman knew all these things, but she still came to the practice room without hesitation.
"Jinghua, I can't watch you die," Salman helped Yue Jinghua off Razer's back, looked at the door of the training room, and said softly, "You once said that miracles are created by man."
"Salman, you really came here secretly," Qiu Chuzi stood behind her with a heavy heart, and Salman was taken aback. When I got here, I didn't know that Qiu Chuzi had long been wary of her.
"Dean, tonight, I have to enter the practice room no matter what. If I go in, I still have a half chance." Salman quickly woke up from the shock. With a roll of the snake's tail, Yue Jinghua was rolled up, and he was about to crawl to the training room.
Qiu Chuzi disappeared on the spot, and when he reappeared, the old pipe in his hand pointed at the Thunder Snake. The huge body of the Thunder Snake immediately stopped, and there was a trace of fear in the brown snake eyes, and it was in front of his eyes at this moment. , as small as an ant, "Salman, this little snake can't do anything to me,"
"Dean, I've offended you," Salman jumped up and stood on Razer's head, and saw a gleam of light between her green jade fingers.
"Teng Teng Teng Teng Teng Teng Teng Teng Teng Teng Teng Teng Teng Teng Teng Teng Teng Teng Teng Teng", five colored smoke rose from the ground, and five colorful spiders crawled out from the ground.
Each spider is the size of a watermelon, with shiny octopus.
The one in the lead, with red hair and eight claws, puffed out its belly, and protruded a ball of flames. The fireworks burst into flames, and a wall of fire more than five feet high was ignited on the ground.
"Five Elements Recluse Spider, Salman, when did you raise such a powerful profound beast?" Qiu Chuzi rolled over and fell back, but most of his eyebrows were burned off by the powerful wall of fire.
The five-element recluse spider is a fourth-order mysterious beast hatched by ghost-faced spiders with separate attributes of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. It is born with the mysterious ability of earth-repelling, coming and going without a trace, and the power of the five spiders is several times when it comes out.
"Okay, my outer court has finally produced a talent after the Aobei War, but it's a pity that you little girl trapped the old man with five reptiles, and you underestimated the old man," Qiu Chuzi took a deep breath The smoke suddenly puffed up the cheeks, and a puff of smoke was blown out.
The wind of smoke immediately penetrated the fire wall and opened a path.
When Qiu Chuzi was about to break through the fire, the wall of fire suddenly went out, and several water arrows shot out, Qiu Chuzi cursed in a low voice, and rushed behind him.
But there was nothing under his feet, he didn't step on the ground, and his body kept falling. When he looked back, Qiu Chuzi's old face was miserable, "Grandma, these days, students are not respecting teachers more and more."
It turned out that there was already a crack in the ground under Qiu Chuzi's feet. In the crack, the ugly ghost-faced spider was waving its hairy thin arms and greeting him.
Qiu Chuzi snorted, and saw that he stomped left and right to stop his fall, the pipe in his hand was a little empty, and he was already floating in mid-air.
Salman gritted his teeth, raised his hand, and the five five-element spiders spat out a web of spider webs, and there were several webs of spider webs in the air, like infrared rays, blocking Qiu Chuzi's pace.
"Death struggle," Qiu Chuzi sighed softly, the pipe in his hand turned red, a burst of profound power was transmitted, and all the spider threads were cut off.
Qiu Chuzi's movements were several times faster than Salman's. As soon as he got rid of the entanglement of the five-element spider, he was about to stop Salman from entering the practice room. Seeing that there was no hope of escape, Salman yelled: "Ray!" snake."
With a flick of the Thunder Snake's tail, Yue Jinghua, who was entangled in the snake's tail, flew towards the main entrance of the training room like a stone.
"Nonsense," Qiu Chuzi snorted, his shabby clothes bulged, he grabbed it with his bare hands, and Yue Jinghua, who was thrown out, stopped in mid-air.
At this moment, the door of the practice room, which had been silent for a long time, opened abruptly.
"Kaz Kaz," a creepy voice came from the dark room.
Almost at the same time, both Salman and Qiu Chuzi stopped and looked towards the training room.
Qiu Chuzi's lips became pale and gray, and there was panic in his eyes. He mumbled, "Ten years, ten years."
In the small training room, on the wall, the originally engraved pictures and texts gradually lit up, and gradually turned into the shape of a beast's head.
A jet of black gas leaked out from inside.
"Boom", the black air became stronger and stronger, and finally turned into a hurricane, rushing away from the stone mill.
A gust of black wind rolled out from the training room.
The black wind quickly attacked the unconscious Yue Jinghua, Qiu Chuzi was startled, and the profound power in his hand was gathered again, who knew that the power of the black wind was not weak, under this volume, Qiu Chuzi and Salman And Razer are all thrown out.
The black wind was so cold and sharp that even Qiu Chuzi's cultivation would feel chills in his bones when he was swept by the black wind.
The most frightening thing was that wherever the black wind went, the vegetation withered, and the profound energy in the body was instantly absorbed.
A cultivation base like Sharman passed out directly, and Razer's condition was a little better, but he was also sluggish and unconscious.
Qiu Chuzi's cultivation has been achieved, and he barely has 20% of his profound energy left. When he came again, the door of the training room closed with a "bang".
During the whole process, it was as if someone was spying in the dark, taking advantage of Qiu Chuzi's unpreparedness, and rashly struck.
How could this be the case, Qiu Chuzi looked at the comatose Salman, and then looked at the hut that had regained its calm, feeling uneasy in his heart one wave after another.
Exactly the same, Qiu Chuzi, who had personally experienced the upheaval ten years ago, was there in a daze, and the situation when Yue Jinghua entered the training room was exactly the same as when Bei Zhan entered the training room back then.
Thinking of the scene where Ao Bei Zhan came out of the training room, Qiu Chuzi sighed deeply.
