Chapter 26 The Boy and Girl

After Guo Xi completely ruined the relationship, the four of them didn't talk to each other that night. In the early morning, they walked out of the hall and left the dilapidated mountain temple. Chen Chao, who had been hiding on the beam, watched them leave in silence, but did not jump down from the beam immediately. Instead, he held his breath and watched below.

As expected, only a moment later, Guo Xi, the Qi Refiner who had torn his face with the other three last night, suddenly rushed into the hall and looked around, as if he was looking for something.

The young man in white muttered, "Is there really no one?"

After saying this, Guo Xi cursed in a low voice, "I think too much!"

He walked out of the hall again.

Chen Chao narrowed his eyes and just stretched out his hand to hold the handle of the knife without any other movements.

As expected, in the blink of an eye, Guo Xi came back, but this time he just looked at the door of the hall and left.

After another half a quarter of an hour, Chen Chao slowly descended from the beam and came to the door of the hall. He looked at the direction where the people left, thinking.

The direction they were heading was not somewhere else, but the direction of Tianqing County.

Retracting his sight, Chen Chao walked out of the mountain temple and continued to walk up the mountain. What he thought was right. Guo Xi, who seemed to have a problem with his brain, was actually fine. Not only was he fine, but he was even a man with deep scheming.

When Guo Xi and the other three people were arguing before, Chen Chao only thought he was a mad dog. If he hadn't suddenly woken up later, he would have been beaten by the other party.

The situation is still unclear, so Chen Chao doesn't want to be discovered by them, at least not in this mountain temple.

It's hard to tell who is friend or foe.

Chen Chao shook his head, retracted his thoughts for the time being, climbed to the top of the mountain, looked around, and found nothing unusual, so he rushed down the mountain from the other side of the mountain road. Therefore, it only took half a day to reach the foot of the mountain and start to climb another mountain.

This is when he didn't activate his Qi. If he was really determined to hurry, he would be at the foot of the mountain in less than a quarter of an hour.

However, after years of hunting monsters in the mountains, Chen Chao had long known that it would be a waste if there was no Qi in his body.

Use it to hurry? Too extravagant.

When he started to climb the second mountain, Chen Chao quickened his pace. It didn't take much time. He reached the top of the mountain before lunch. After taking a breath, he continued his journey. This time, when he went down the mountain again, he saw the scenery he had never seen before.

When the mine was still being mined, starting from the top of this mountain, it was roughly equivalent to a forbidden area. Except for those civilians who mined ore, others, even Mi Ke, the magistrate of Tianqing County, had to apply in advance to come here. As for Chen Chao, even if he was the local garrison commander, it was impossible for him to appear here.

If he rashly broke in, according to the Daliang law, he could be killed without questioning.

Chen Chao was famous for his caution, so even when a monster escaped into the place during the previous monster hunting, he did not break the rules and chased it in.

Now the mine has been abandoned, and all the monks stationed there have left, but when Chen Chao went down the mountain,

he was still cautious and not too anxious.

Therefore, it took quite a while to go down the mountain this time.

After arriving at the foot of the mountain, what came into view was an official road as wide as two carriages side by side, leading to a valley. On the wide road, there were wheel marks of varying depths, which continued to the distance.

I think this is the road for transporting Xuanming Stone out of the mountain.

Chen Chao walked forward along the official road, and after passing through the valley, he could see the mine in the distance.

It was an extremely wide circular pit, dozens of feet deep, and the circumference was probably more than a hundred feet. It looked extremely huge, and there was a sense of deep fear.

Before arriving at the giant pit, Chen Chao looked down and could see dozens of mines of various sizes around the bottom of the pit. Along one side of the giant pit, it led to the mountain. This was the mine of the Xuanming Stone Mine.

Chen Chao tiptoed and fell rapidly into the deep pit. After he stood still, he looked at all the mines around him with a solemn expression.

Long before, Chen Chao specifically asked Xie Nandu what the mining process was. There was a question that made him feel particularly headache, that is, the collapse of the mine, which often collapsed deep in the mountain, but there was no abnormality outside. Now these dozens of mines are almost the same outside. How can we find the collapsed mine?

At this moment, Chen Chao, standing in front of these mines, was a bit like a headless fly, a little cramped.

What made him feel even more troublesome was that he was actually a little afraid to walk into one of the mines.

It was not because he was afraid of the dark.

He was just afraid that this mine would collapse after he walked in. He could get in, but he couldn't get out.

If he were another cultivator, he would have other ways, but unfortunately, he was just a warrior, a warrior with no other means but good at fighting.

After walking around the mines carefully, Chen Chao squatted in front of the mines and stretched out his hand to brush them, and began to judge the mining time by the dryness of the soil.

According to the files of the county government, the mine collapsed in the eleventh year of Tianjian, and the mine that Chen Chao wanted to explore this time was that one, and the other was the mines that collapsed recently.

However, after walking around, Chen Chao only roughly ruled out some mines that obviously did not meet his requirements, but the remaining range was still very large.

Finally, he chose the one that looked most pleasing to him among the remaining mines and walked in.

Less than half an hour later, he walked out of the mine with an unnatural look on his face.

This mine was very ordinary, not the one he was looking for.

After making a small hidden mark on that mine, he entered another mine and continued to explore.

…

…

The carriage left Tianqing

After the county, he went all the way north without wasting any time on the road, so he quickly left the area where Qingshan County was located and approached the Weizhou capital. However, he had no intention of wasting time there. After staying for a while, he continued to go north.

The carriage galloped on the official road without any bumps.

As for the monster, he actually encountered more than one, but Lin Yuan had already killed it before he even got close to the carriage.

As a real hard-working monk, Lin Yuan would hardly encounter any troublesome things in the Liang Dynasty.

These monsters are no match for him. .🅆.🄲

But everything has exceptions. When the carriage drove out of Weizhou and passed through New Liuzhou, the carriage was attacked by monsters.

At that time, the carriage was staying outdoors at night, and it was a beautiful day with a bright moon. It was not easy to see such weather in the early spring.

So Lin Yuan became interested and took advantage of the moonlight to give a lecture on the big stone nearby. However, this place was not the Xie family's private school in the capital of the gods, and there were not so many Xie family disciples here to listen respectfully to his lectures. Only one was too sleepy to open his eyes. Xie Boyue opened his eyes and held his head with both hands, still shaking and nodding.

At that time, Lin Yuan was in a good mood, so he didn't care whether his disciple was paying attention to the lectures. He just casually talked about many principles in the saint's book.

But when he was talking more than half of it, Lin Yuan suddenly remembered a certain guy back then. On the first day he entered the academy, he dared to raise his voice and question the dean of the academy, who had an unknown high status, after reading these saints' classics. , can we really do something for the people of the world?

At that time, all the students thought that the guy was crazy and might be kicked out of the academy because of Meng Lang's behavior. But in the end, the dean just looked at him and didn't say anything. Naturally Doesn't answer that question either.

Lin Yuan, who was thinking of this, was just about to sigh with emotion when a gust of evil wind suddenly blew up between heaven and earth!

Lin Yuan stood up suddenly, and his blue robe was already making a sound at this moment.

Seeing such a scene, Xie Boyue, who was still sleepy, glanced at Lin Yuan nervously, and then looked at the carriage with worry. Xie Nandu was still in the carriage.

"Get over there and don't let anything happen to the lady."

Lin Yuan looked solemn, and then he laughed, "In the territory of Daliang Dynasty, the monsters in the four realms dare to show off like this, are they really at risk of their lives?"

There was a voice in the darkness, a little hoarse, "Leave the people in the carriage and I'll let you go!"

After hearing this, Xie Boyue, who had just arrived at the carriage, frowned. He was already extremely disgusted with the monster that had not yet appeared. However, he quickly lowered his voice and said as calmly as possible, "Sister Nandu, don't be afraid."

Only the word "um" came from the carriage.

There was no panic.

Xie Boyue felt a little disappointed for no reason.

But soon he no longer cared about this, because after a moment, he saw the gentleman who usually had a good temper jumped up

He went up, hovering in the air, and said something extremely domineering.

"It's just a monster. Now that you're here, leave your head behind."

Of course, what was even more domineering was that Xie Boyue watched his husband display his skills here, which was an extremely exciting battle.

After the dust settled, although he failed to kill the monster, he successfully made it retreat.

At that moment, Xie Boyue had great admiration for his husband.

He specifically ran to his husband and told him how he felt.

As a result, Lin Yuan looked at him and said unceremoniously, "Do you think this gentleman has protected the young lady, that's why you are so happy?"

Xie Boyue, who had been relatively steady before, had his cheeks a little red, and when his thoughts were exposed, he just smiled.

Lin Yuan sighed. There are some things that need not be said clearly, but everyone knows that Xie Boyue is just a disciple of a partial house, and he is also a commoner. His qualifications are only average, above average. If there is no accident in this life, he will definitely not be able to become a great monk. People like him, and the girl in the carriage has already proven that she has a bright future.

Is there half a chance between two people?

No.

If there is no possibility of something like love, it is better to cut it off early.

But after thinking a lot, Lin Yuan finally just sighed and patted his disciple on the shoulder without saying anything.

When they arrived at the carriage, Xie Nandu opened the curtain and walked out before Lin Yuan could say anything.

Xie Nandu took the initiative and said, "It's a pity that I couldn't see Mr. Lin's style."

Lin Yuan was startled, then smiled and shook his head, "I can't say she is charming. I think in a few years, the lady's style will be far better than mine."

Xie Nandu smiled slightly and did not worry about it. He just came to the big stone with Lin Yuan. Xie Boyue had already lit a fire.

After sitting down, Xie Nandu asked, "I heard that Mr. Lin was also a student of the academy. Can you tell me about the academy?"

Lin Yuan glanced at Xie Boyue and sighed. It is not necessarily a good thing to have such a disciple who is always willing to betray his teacher.

He nodded. After Xie Nandu went to the capital, he was destined not to stay in the Xie family to practice. He would most likely go to the academy to study. It was reasonable for this girl from the Bailu Xie family to prepare for the rainy day.

But when it came to the time to speak, Lin Yuan seemed to find that he didn't know where to start talking about the academy.

A holy place in the hearts of scholars all over the world?

After thinking for a long time, Lin Yuan slowly said, "A dynasty of a hundred years, a clan of a thousand years, and the sects and monks who have always been there. The Daliang Dynasty was established for only more than two hundred years, but the worldly monks headed by the three religions have existed for generations, year after year. Confucianism, as one of the three religions, is also the only one that has been separated from the three religions and truly landed in the world. The academy was established by the saint at that time."

I'm too sleepy. I can't stand it today. I owe a chapter and I'll pay it back tomorrow.
