When the magic flower blooms

The students onlookers exclaimed in unison, but compared with another voice, these shouts were insignificant at all.

What is really deafening is the loud noise from the top and bottom of the copper tower, nine floors and all directions, and almost every corner.

Visible to the naked eye, every copper bell on the corner of the eaves is twitching crazily, left and right, up and down, without stopping for a moment.All these high and low tones mingled in a monstrous torrent of sound.

The loud noise continued, and the students covered their ears one after another. Some students with weaker resistance even showed painful expressions.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ming Ruoxing walked over quickly and urged He Tiansi to end the action.

Although He Tiansi was at a loss, he tried his best to follow suit.But no matter how hard he tried, the crazy ringing never stopped.

Seeing the huge noise attracted more onlookers.In the end, Mr. Chen raised his hands and made a "close" movement.

A mass of black heartworms flew out of the pagoda, circled in mid-air, and returned to the exquisite big cage.Some of them were even exhausted and fell from mid-air.

After all the live insects had entered the cage, the surroundings finally became quiet again.But everyone's ears are still buzzing.The stunned students returned to the dormitory to rest under the leadership of the teaching assistants, and will receive a simple ear examination later.

Only Ming Ruoxing and He Tiansi were left by the pond, looking at Mr. Chen in dismay.

"Did I... did I get into a catastrophe?"

Looking at the dead bugs on the ground, He Tiansi began to worry about his bank account.

Fortunately, Mr. Chen gave him a reassurance first, and he didn't need to make any compensation.

Afterwards, through He Tiansi's self-description, Mr. Chen quickly determined the nature of the incident—He Tiansi did release powerful pheromone power, but he lacked the ability to control it.Like a wild horse running wild, it has no strength but no skill.

"But it's not right."

He Tiansi couldn't help questioning, "The eighth floor was clearly successful."

"That's what I did, what do you think?"

Ming Ruoxing at the side dismantled him coldly, "It's because I'm afraid that you won't accomplish anything and feel that you will lose face."

"Then if you say it now, I will save face?!" He Tiansi suddenly regretted asking more.

In any case, the test of the copper tower was barely passed.Mr. Chen also said that with He Tiansi's current ability, it is obvious that Hefeng Academy can't teach him uniformly.He suggested that Ming Ruoxing change his plan, skip the Jinxiyuan, and go directly to the higher-level Xuechi, or even the top-level Wentianyuan.

As soon as He Tiansi heard the three words "Xuechiyuan", He Tiansi immediately regained his spirits.He strongly expressed his disinterest in Wentianyuan, and asked to go to the "holy place that has long been admired".

There are four mountain peaks between Hefengyuan and Xuechiyuan, the distance is quite far.For the first time, Ming Ruoxing gave up his hiking plan and took He Tiansi to the electric shuttle bus inside Yinshan.

Using the time in the car, Ming Ruoxing began to popularize some precautions for He Tiansi.

There are five academies in Yinshan area.Among them, the three academies of Chuntong, Hefeng and Jinxi are educational institutions for ordinary Asians in the Yinshan area.Children from the founding species, the dominant species, and the umbrella species can enter the mountain to receive basic general education as long as they apply.

However, Xuechiyuan and Wentianyuan are quite different.

First of all, apart from a very small number of ordinary demi-human children who have been promoted to the next level by virtue of their strength, Xuechiyuan only accepts children from dominant species, umbrella species families, or high-ranking officials and dignitaries in principle.

Secondly, there is no clear age limit for Xuechi Yard.As long as the ability is sufficient, you can enroll.In fact, high-level demi-human children are not weak in talent and understanding, and it is not unusual for Ming Ruoxing to study at the age of seven or eight.

Of course, the most important thing is to learn the content.

"Mr. Chen, I had an exchange with Mr. Su from Xuechiyuan just now. Based on your current situation, we agree that it is more suitable for you to go directly to Wentianyuan instead of Xuechiyuan."

Ming Ruoxing's words immediately made He Tiansi nervous.He emphasized that he must go to the Snow Pool Yard anyway.It doesn't matter what you study, what is important is to feel the atmosphere that Ming Ruoxing studied in those years.

"I know what's on your mind."

Ming Ruoxing sneered slightly, "It just so happens that I also have something I want to show you, and I will make plans after you have seen it."

"okay!"

He Tiansi readily agreed, and suddenly leaned forward to shine a light on Ming Ruoxing's cheek.

There was still a driver driving ahead, Ming Ruoxing was so frightened that he pushed He Tiansi away.

He Tiansi shook twice, as if he was about to fall off the other side of the ferry.Ming Ruoxing was so frightened that he quickly grabbed him back.

It's okay if it doesn't make a fuss, and the driver couldn't help observing the two of them from the rear-view mirror.

He Tiansi simply hugged Ming Ruoxing carelessly.

"We are a couple!"

"..."

Ming Ruoxing was so ashamed that he almost wanted to find a crack in the ground and sneak in.

"I've wanted to try saying that for a long time." He Tiansi also took the initiative to lean over and yell at him, "Is it okay? Anyway, it's what you said, demihumans have no prejudice against sexual orientation."

Being without prejudice does not mean that you can show affection anytime, anywhere, regardless of the occasion - Ming Ruoxing knew that this sentence would only make He Tiansi more proud, so he chose to keep his head down and remain silent.

Fortunately, the shuttle bus did not travel too far, and they arrived at the parking lot outside the Xuechi courtyard.

Over the past few days, He Tiansi has also experienced many majestic or beautiful scenery in the mountains.There doesn't seem to be anything special about the Xuechi Peak in front of me.It's just that there are many tall pine trees growing on the mountain, and the vegetation on the ground is relatively sparse.There is also a tall waterfall, which falls from the cliff next to the academy to the deep pool in the valley below [-] meters.

As soon as the ferry stopped, He Tiansi couldn't wait to jump off, frowning and looking around.

"Why do I have a very strange feeling... It feels like I've been here before."

Ming Ruoxing was a little surprised.

He deliberately took He Tiansi to walk many dangerous roads during the training, but He Tiansi didn't even remember it.But now that he just went to the Xuechi Yard, he actually feels familiar?

"What did you remember?" He asked quickly.

He Tiansi scratched his head instead.

"I can't tell you exactly...in fact, it's more like a feeling. I just miss it."

Seeing that he really couldn't explain why, Ming Ruoxing didn't continue to force himself.The two of them turned directly into the academy along a stone path.

For Ming Ruoxing, it was six or seven years ago that he returned to Xuechi Courtyard for the last time.Compared with the memory at that time, the scene in front of me has changed a lot.

The courtyard where he and He Tiansi first met had been renovated more than once. The surrounding small buildings were repainted, the roof was replaced, the pattern of the stone slabs on the ground was changed, and even the varieties of shrubs in the flower beds were completely changed.

However, the old pagoda trees in the yard didn't seem to have changed at all, they were crooked and lush, as if a naughty boy would clamor and climb down from the trees every minute.

Ming Ruoxing deliberately asked He Tiansi to stay in the yard for a while, but instead of recalling any actual details, He Tiansi urged him impatiently.

"Don't take me to see Mr.? Don't take me into the school? Then can you go to the underground palace? The one where you can see the snow pond."

Just as he was asking this, a well-mannered white-clothed man came from the round hole not far away. He was Mr. Su, the principal of Xuechi Yard.

Although Mr. Su looks young, he has stayed in this academy for more than 20 years.When Ming Ruoxing and Naga entered the courtyard to practice, he was still the youngest teacher in the courtyard.

Since Ming Ruoxing had greeted him in advance, Mr. Su remained calm when he met He Tiansi.Ming Ruoxing briefly introduced the two parties, and quickly got to the point.

"You said, you want to visit the Snow Pond Illusion?" Mr. Su looked at He Tiansi with a smile, "Can you tell me the reason?"

He Tiansi could have no reason, but he just thought it was fresh and fun.Now that he was asked to give a legitimate reason, he faltered instead.

Mr. Su didn't refuse outright, but put forward a more interesting suggestion.

"Although the illusion of Snow Pond is magnificent, in the final analysis, it is just a virtual romance. If you are interested, I can take you to see the real Snow Pond, how about it?"

He Tiansi responded positively when he heard that Xuechi could be true or false. Before Ming Ruoxing could respond, he couldn't wait to follow Mr. Su's footsteps.

"Do you know how the peaks in the Yinshan Mountains got their names?"

Walking slowly along the mountain road, Mr. Su chatted with He Tiansi.

"know."

He Tiansi's lessons these days are not in vain, "Basically, they are named according to the characteristics of the scenery on the mountain. For example, Chuntong Peak, many sycamore and paulownia trees, white and purple everywhere in spring. Hefeng is because the main peak It looks like a lotus flower bud. On the Jinxi Peak opposite it, there are many sweet-scented osmanthus trees. In autumn, it is fragrant for ten miles. It can be smelled across the entire cliff."

Mr. Su nodded in approval, but then asked: "Then do you know how our Xuechi Peak got its name?"

Isn't it because of the illusion of the snow pool in the underground palace?

He Tiansi opened his mouth to answer, but felt that it was not that simple - if the mountain was named after the illusion, what should the name of this place be before the illusion?

Just as he was thinking, he had already followed Mr. Su up fifty steps, and then turned a big bend close to the mountain wall, when suddenly the mountain wind blew his face, and his eyes suddenly opened up.

Before they knew it, they were already standing in front of a clearing in the mountains.

The open space is surrounded by several simple and vigorous old pine trees.Mr. Su said that they are called Nine Dragon Pines, and their postures are either lying down or twisting. The densely scaled tree trunk looks like a fallen horned dragon from a distance.

But what is really extraordinary is not these pine trees, but the clearing itself, which is guarded by nine "dragons".

At this time, He Tiansi had already seen clearly that this open space should be a whole huge rock.The surface of the rock mass is completely bare, and there is almost no floating soil, so only a few clumps of wild flowers and grass grow sparsely.

But this large piece of bare rock surface is so "extremely wonderful".

Inscriptions of various fonts, contents, and forms are almost all over the entire rocky ground.Vermilion, stone green, gold leaf, lapis lazuli... All kinds of old and new colors dazzle the eyes on the blue-gray rock mass.

He Tiansi squinted his eyes to appreciate carefully for a while, and soon found that all these inscriptions seemed messy, but they all had one thing in common.

Draw an extension line along the directions pointed by all these inscriptions, then all the extension lines point to exactly the same target.

It was a depression in the center of the huge rock mass, and there was a small dark pool of water.In the middle of the pool, like a magic trick, a tall dead tree grew out of thin air. The drooping branches looked a bit like willows, almost touching the water.

With Mr. Su's permission, He Tiansi walked towards the tree.He soon discovered that there was something wrong with it.
