After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 642
He Lingchuan's neighbors, Xiaopang's father, were all sent to Yuheng City by the government, and the government couldn't handle it.

There are many accounts, which means that there are many matters.

"Why is the expansion of Yuheng City? I thought that Panlong City paid more attention to the old capital of Xiqiao." He Lingchuan calculated the locations of the two places in his mind, "Is it because Yuheng City is on the border, just across the river from Jinyu Kingdom?"

"The old capital of Xixiang is located in the west but on the plains. If Panlong City wants to guard the gate of the western mountainous area, it only needs to strangle the Dragon Throat Pass. Yuheng City, as you said, is a border fortress. But I think Commander Zhong is running Yuheng City, and his focus is not on guarding against the Jin Dynasty."

"Oh?" He Lingchuan hasn't come in for a long time, and he doesn't know what happened to the new territory east of Panlong City, "Tell me about it?"

"The two masters who came back from Yuheng City these days said that Xilong Country is actually affected by bandits, and even Yuheng City has been robbed by bandits from the south."

He Lingchuan wondered: "Bandits robbed Junzhen? It's unheard of."

When he was a young man in Heishui City, although there were always sand bandits on Hongya Road, they only robbed business travelers and did not disturb the border town, and fled looking at the officers and soldiers.

Bandits are generally relatively loose, and it is difficult to organize a decent local armed regime to wrestle with the officials.

Therefore, there is an old saying among sand bandits on Hongya Road that people (bandits) do not fight with officials.

"The southeastern part of Xixiang seems to be very special. Bandits are rampant, and the officers and soldiers have nothing to do with them." Sun Fuling said with a smile, "These bandits even threaten the southern trade routes. I heard that Xixiang repaired the official road and took a long detour." , just to avoid them, but they still went to plunder the southern trade route.”

He Lingchuan nodded: "I went to Yunzhen Island to buy things, but Fatty Bai always made excuses for the price increase, saying that the South Road was full of bandits and things couldn't be shipped."

In addition to ghost cicadas, there are also many delicious fruits, which increase in price every time they are bought!

"Now that Xixiang is owned by Panlong City, I don't know Commander Zhong's plan for these thugs."

He Lingchuan thought for a while: "Commander Xiao, who was originally stationed in Yuheng City, has been transferred back. I don't know who will be sent there next time."

Sun Fuling hummed, resting her elbows on the wooden handrail, looking up at the sky with her head propped up: "It's been a long time since there's been such a good weather."

Overhead is the dark blue sky, and the galaxy is twinkling, like diamonds cushioned on black velvet.

He Lingchuan's gaze shifted from her tight and stylish jaw line to the night sky, glanced casually, and then froze.

"Huh?" He couldn't help but point out, "When did that star shine!"

Thanks to the tasks performed in reality, he can already distinguish the position of the Big Dipper from the night sky at a glance.

However, there is another star twinkling beside the Tianshu star, its brightness far exceeds that of the nine stars!

"When did this star appear?" Sun Fuling was also observing carefully, "I don't think I've seen it before."

But He Lingchuan knew that it was Tian Luo Xing!

Doesn't Tianluoxing only show up when the Dafang pot changes?Why is it sparkling tonight?
Could it be that Zhong Shengguang or the Red General activated the Dafang Pot?

No, with their prudence, unless they are fully prepared, they will not do so easily.

Well, most likely...

Punishment Dragon Pillar?
Shao Jian has been away for a while, is it possible that someone has started to use the Punishment Dragon Pillar that he spread?
He Lingchuan's thoughts turned.

Dafanghu has always been anxious about his needs. In reality, he has to deal with the eyes of the Great Spirit Gathering Formation. Will Panlong City provide corresponding assistance?
"In the academy, or in Panlong City, is there any expert who is proficient in celestial phenomena?"

"Astronomical phenomena?" Sun Fuling said without thinking, "Yes, Dean Xu."

Xu Shichu?He Lingchuan had listened to his public lecture on ancient demons, and the torch was mentioned in it.So it turns out that Dean Xu has covered so many fields?

Sun Fuling seemed to see through what he was thinking: "The dean is knowledgeable and talented, and he is proficient in everything about astronomy and calendar calculations."

"What about divination?"

"...Well, we all think that Mr. Wen Daolun is better, but the dean doesn't think so." She gave He Lingchuan a blank look, and said slightly angrily, "Is it wrong to pick on my language?"

She stared, and He Lingchuan immediately said: "Don't dare, don't dare."

He hurriedly got back to business: "I want to ask Dean Xu for advice."

"There are frequent personnel transfers in the academy, and there is also a big exam to be organized. Dean Xu has been so busy recently that he hit the back of his head with his heels."

He Lingchuan bowed to her again and again: "Master Sun, help me, you have great powers, and you will definitely be able to help me make an appointment."

Sun Fuling smiled, with dimples on her face: "I made an appointment with you with great effort, what's the benefit?"

The word "great strength" is accentuated.

Mrs. Sun, who I just met at the beginning, doesn't seem to be like this?
Who did she learn from?

"Then, but rely on driving?" He Lingchuan patted his arm and said proudly, "I'm such a big person, you can use it as you like."

He didn't dare to say such things to Li Qingge, but Mrs. Sun was a decent person, so he wouldn't "use him casually", right?

Sun Fuling glanced at him, and that look made him a little guilty.

But she bit her lip quickly: "In a few days, I will also send a batch of books to Yuheng City, where they will be printed and used as teaching materials. By the way, I will order next spring's exam questions. Will you go with me?"

He Lingchuan looked sideways: "You edited the textbooks and exam questions? Mrs. Sun, what kind of official are you in the academy?"

He originally thought that Sun Fuling was just an ordinary teacher in a government school, teaching and disciplining children.Now it seems that there are more than that?

That's right, now that I think about it, she is a direct disciple of the headmaster of the academy, and she is also acquainted with Wen Daolun, these are the top class in Panlong City.

So, how could she be just a schoolteacher?

"Finally remembered to ask today?" Sun Fuling snorted, "I'm Dr. Xuegong."

"Ah!" He Lingchuan was a little surprised, "So it's Master Sun, I'm sorry!"

The "doctor" here is not just a degree, but a serious academic officer, not only preaching and teaching, but also managing books and regulations.

This is an official's salary, no wonder Mrs. Sun's family has so much charcoal that they can't burn the corners, and finally send it to him. Usually, he buys wine, meat and snacks casually, and he dares to get a high salary.

"He Lushuai is polite." The donkey cart entered the south square of the city, and instead of going directly to the academy, it listened to Sun Fuling and turned to the market first.

"If you want to ask someone to do something, it's better not to go there empty-handed." Sun Fuling instructed him, "Go to the seventh shop to buy Yunpian Cake, don't ask for its signature sesame flavor, but peanut butter; buy another Catty Butterfly Crisp, I want the flavor of caramel candy."

"Then go to the opposite side of Fatty Bai's shop and buy two boxes of tea from Xincheng in the south. Now that the southern trade route has been opened, Dean Xu has recently become obsessed with Chen Gan tea."

He Lingchuan bought them one by one and got back into the car.

This time the donkey cart stopped directly at the gate of the academy.

In front is the main gate of the academy. The red walls and gray tiles are old, and the corners of the bricks are white. The four pillars at the front are surrounded by four people. They look stout and magnificent, but the freshly painted wooden paint can't hide the original vicissitudes.

There are brick carvings embedded on the walls on both sides of the gate. One side is the dragon head and the other side is the divine bird, which are very pictorial.

"This place has a history of more than 300 years and was established long before the Xiluo Kingdom. After Commander Zhong took over Panlong City, he began to expand it, retaining the old gates, old buildings, and many ancient trees of the academy." Sun Fuling patted the big Zhu Dao: "Every year when new students enter the main entrance for the first time, they have to pass through these 'asking pillars'."

ask?

Under the double eaves and brackets at the gate of the school, there is only a brand-new signboard, which is "Sparse School", with gold letters on a blue background, and it is dignified.

He Lingchuan passed by the south of the city countless times, and even went to the nearby government office twice, but he never entered the Shumin Academy.Probably because I have read books for more than ten years, subconsciously I don't want to go to school again.

Now, he followed Mrs. Sun and crossed the threshold obediently.

Just like most of the schools he has seen before, there is a large square behind the gate of the academy, the bluestone ground is extraordinarily flat, and towering trees that are hundreds of years old are scattered here and there.

In the middle of the square there is a large square pool, and the koi are so fat that they can hardly swim.

It was getting dark, and He Lingchuan saw several young people sweeping the square with bamboo brooms.In the academy, the brushing sounds sounded particularly comfortable.

"I thought there were only children in the academy." There are so many strong young men?
There were also several people who peeked at Mrs. Sun, and He Lingchuan gave them a sharp stare, and these guys honestly swept away.

"There are students of all ages. Among the students I have taught, the oldest is 72." Sun Fuling stepped back briskly, "Commander Zhong has been in office for 17 years and has always encouraged common people to study and practice, so the students are mainly young and strong. , and apply what you learn quickly.”

The land in Panlong City is expensive, but the school covers an area of ​​[-] mu, which is equivalent to two government offices, which shows that Zhong Shengguang attaches great importance to the school.

The entire academy is divided into four courtyards, and the structure is quite strict.

There were many teachers and students coming and going, and they all greeted Sun Fuling.

Master Sun's popularity in the academy is really good.

As soon as I entered the academy, the hustle and bustle outside seemed to disappear without a trace, and the fragrance of grass leaves lingered around me.Walking on such a school road, with a beautiful woman by his side, He Lingchuan only felt peaceful, and all the troubles in reality were thrown aside.

He started a conversation: "There is also an ancient spirit tree in the capital city of Bega, named 'Word Tree'."

"The one on the Ruins Mountain?" Sun Fuling has obviously heard of it, "I heard that it was originally the guardian tree of the Great Returning Sect. It has gone through countless catastrophes and helped the Great Returning Sect defeat the gods. I didn't expect the Northern Demon Kingdom to occupy the Ruins Mountain. At that time, it was not cut off."

"It was originally going to be cut down. I heard that Shanze and Baoshu King pleaded with it, so the demon emperor let it go. Now it is a great attraction of Xushan."

"You know all of this?" Sun Fuling praised him with a smile, "It seems that you didn't put down the book. I was worried that you have a heavy task, and I didn't want him to take care of you."

He Lingchuan smiled wryly: "Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you survive." In fact, every time he entered Panlong City, he would change two new books by his bedside.Needless to say, this is Master Sun's masterpiece.
