Chapter 825: 5. Three Great Academies, Sword Immortal of the East Sea (2 in 1)
Chapter 825: 5. Three Great Academies, Sword Immortal of the East Sea (2 in 1)
The people of Haoran Academy were too hot-blooded. Although there were many famous people and many mighty people, it was said that the death rate after becoming an official was quite high…
As for the Bi Luo Academy, it’s very stable. It’s neither too aloof nor too hot-blooded. Most of the students there are related to each other and have many friends…”
“If we go to Tingxue Academy, will we have enough money to live on?” Xia Ji asked.
Miao Miao said, ” Tingxue Academy is the only academy that doesn’t need tuition fees. Of course, it’s enough. However, the assessment of this academy is very strict and it’s extremely difficult to enter. Moreover, it’s in Liangzhou City in the north…”
There were many bandits and demons around Liangzhou City…It is also the place where the militarists are stationed.”
Xia Ji thought for a moment and said, ” Alright then. We’ll go to Liangzhou City. I’ll enter the Tingxue Academy. You can use the money that was originally my school fees to settle down. Don’t go out and do missions anymore. ”
“Not doing missions? Miao Miao glared at him.”Who’s going to support us?” No matter how much money you have, you will still spend it all…”
“I’ll take care of it,” Xia Ji said.
Miao Miao couldn’t help but laugh.
However, she only smiled and did not attack the confidence of the young man in front of her. Instead, she said gently,”You’re quite ambitious. You actually want to support your family. As for going to Liangzhou City…I’ll think about it. ”
” Don’t think about it, ” Xia Ji said. ” We’ll set off tomorrow morning. ”
Miao Miao jumped up like a cat. ” Tomorrow morning?! ”
” There’s no time to lose, ” Xia Ji said. ” Even a minute later could cause an accident. ”
Miao Miao was furious. She slammed the table. ” You must have been alone for too long recently. You’re hallucinating. I’ll call the doctor tomorrow. ”
As she spoke, the girl was about to get up, but Xia Ji raised his hand and held her down.
“What? You won’t let me sleep?”
“Then what if I say that an immortal told me all this?” Xia Ji asked. Going to the Snow Listening Academy is also the intention of an immortal?”
“Immortals? Hehehe…”
Xia Ji didn’t say much. He lit a candle, grabbed a brush, and started writing on the paper.
Seeing that he was serious, Miao Miao curiously leaned over to see what he was going to write.
At first, Miao Miao wanted to say, ” Don’t waste the candles, ” but after a while, she couldn’t help but be stunned.
After a while, her breathing quickened.
After a while, she could no longer take her eyes off him.
The candlelight flickered, and the two figures overlapped, falling on the old wooden wall.
As the candlelight moved, the black shadow that seemed to be one moved gently.
Xia Ji picked out a sword path mystic art from his memory and wrote it down. After he was done, he said lightly, “”This was also given by the Immortal.”
After saying that, he yawned and ran to the east cubicle. He didn’t even pull the curtain and directly hid under the blanket.
Miao Miao looked at the mystic technique and felt like she was looking at an immortal.
She didn’t know what kind of methods those so-called immortals usually cultivated, but the things written on this piece of paper definitely bore the words “Immortal Sword Dao”.
She roughly scanned through it and felt that it was extremely mysterious. Thus, she calmed down and studied it carefully…
Candle sparks exploded from time to time.
The candle was quickly emptied.
Miao Miao had only read a few hundred words.
But just these few hundred words convinced her.
Miao Miao was the future Taiyuan and could be said to be a rare genius in the way of the sword. However, a golden door had already appeared in front of her on this page…
The door was suspended in the sky, surrounded by clouds and mist, and the golden light was dazzling.
Behind the door was a new world that she had never even thought of.
The girl grabbed the page and remained motionless in the darkness.
Until the autumn rain outside stopped.
Only then did she come back to her senses. She softly called out ” Xia Ji “‘s name, but there was no response. It was obvious that Xia Ji was already fast asleep.
Miao Miao carefully placed the piece of paper under her pillow and lay down on the bed.
The next morning.
The golden morning light shone through the oil-paper window, turning into a soft halo and landing on Xia Ji’s face.
Xia Ji opened his eyes and saw Miao Miao’s face right in front of him.
The young girl rested her chin on her hand, her eyes a little dark. It seemed like she hadn’t slept well the whole night.
“Didn’t sleep well last night?” Xia Ji asked.
Miao Miao nodded. ” I’m afraid that someone will snatch the immortal cultivation technique…” After all, there were many people in this world who had their entire families slaughtered because of a Xuan technique.
“However, if someone really comes to snatch a cultivation technique of this level, it’s not something I can deal with.
She was just worried and didn’t sleep well.
As for moving, I’ll listen to you.
We’ll go to Liangzhou City today, but we can’t do it in the morning. I still have some things to hand over and need to hire a carriage.”
” Don’t hire one, ” Xia Ji said. ” Just buy one. ” If we do, the coachman will reveal our whereabouts.”
Miao Miao wanted to say, ” How expensive would that be? ” But after hearing the second half of the sentence, she didn’t refute and just nodded. At the same time, she was curious about the existence of the enemy that the immortal was talking about.
The two of them cooked some porridge and ate breakfast before Miao Miao hurried out.
Xia Ji also took the Buddhist scriptures, brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, as well as the copied scriptures, and returned them to the family who hired him to copy the scriptures.
At noon,
Miao Miao had finished her business and bought a simple carriage.
Xia Ji had already packed up the things in the room. Since he couldn’t take the two beds with him, he could only pack up his bedding, move the entire table, and get into the carriage.
Before getting into the car, Miao Miao pulled Xia Ji to the side and said mysteriously, “”When you’re outside, don’t mention anything about that immortal again, and don’t say anything about cultivation techniques.
I’ve been thinking about it for the entire night. That immortal might have met an enemy and felt that he might die on his way to escape.
So he passed the Xuan technique to you, who was fated with him, as an inheritance.
Otherwise, we wouldn’t have any enemies.”
Xia Ji was stunned for a moment before nodding in agreement.
Miao Miao put her hands on her hips and smiled.”Get in the car.”
Because Miao Miao had been a part-time inspector, she had some information about the distribution of thieves.
Coupled with her own agility and the fact that she had taken the official road along the way, she did not encounter any robbers blocking her way.
The two of them ate steamed buns for a week before arriving at their destination.
Liangzhou City was located in the north and was similar to the big cities near the Wolf Sealing Pass, but it was much more prosperous than the surrounding areas.
Because the official roads were smooth, there was a lot of trade.
In addition to the dangerous terrain, the majestic pass could be said to be a one-man pass that could not be opened by ten thousand people.
Therefore, the Northern Tang, which belonged to Liangzhou City, was also as stable as a mountain.
At this moment, the carriage was traveling on the mountain path between the peaks.
On both sides of the road, the mountains were tall and beautiful, like a forest of swords, piercing into the clouds, just like the scene of the Heavenly Palace on the clouds.
At the end of the road, there was a huge city that looked like a giant beast crawling on the mountain-Liangzhou.
This was completely incomparable to the small town from before.
Xia Ji reckoned that his and Miao Miao’s fate had been led astray…
Otherwise, they should have gone to Lintian City.
Then, in Lintian City, the two of them each obtained an opportunity. One went out to sea with the sword immortal, and the other entered a temple to become a monk.
Nowadays, not to mention the sea, even lakes were rare.
However, all these changes would be corrected by a mysterious power, gradually adjusted in the river of time, causing the future Great Shang to remain the same.
This was the self-correcting power of the universe.
In this era, houses were not very valuable items.
Miaomiao had saved up for so many years, so she could buy it.
The two of them quickly settled down in Liangzhou City. They followed the Immortal’s instructions and changed their original names to Su Mo and Su Yuan.
Although the new house was still a little on the edge of Liangzhou City, it was much bigger inside. There were three rooms instead of one separated by curtains.
The two of them came at a good time, because the enrollment of Tingxue Academy happened to start in five days…
Miao Miao asked Xia Ji to prepare while she studied the sword path mystic technique of the Immortal.
However…
The chosen one was still the chosen one after all. Even if she moved, she would still encounter the things that she should encounter. It was just that the time and place were different.
Early morning.
When Miao Miao returned home after buying steamed buns in the downtown area, she suddenly felt someone following her.
She quickened her pace and arrived at an empty area. That person actually walked out and said in a delicate voice,”Miss, you don’t have to be afraid. I’m the sword immortal of the Eastern Sea … Young Lady, are you willing to acknowledge me as your master?”
