Wizard Academy

In the middle of the night, on the broad back of the old turtle.

Jiang Zhu tried his best to shake the small generator, it was really not easy to recharge it.

Jiang Zhu couldn't hold back, and said, "Play less games tomorrow."

His hands were sore before he charged the battery.

"No!"

It was quiet all around.

Jiang Zhu: "..."

Is this guy's personality cold or not?

The old turtle seemed to have climbed a mountain, with a towering cliff in front of it.

No way?

It was only when he got closer that he realized that there was actually a huge hole in the cliff, and the old turtle just pulled the bronze coffin and stopped at the entrance of the hole.

Jiaojiang and Zodiac didn't get close. In order to avoid being attacked by the undead, Zodiac followed closely. What's wrong?

Jiang Zhu slid down the back of the turtle and walked towards the team: "What's wrong?"

The team seemed a little chaotic and restless.

Uncle Jiaojiang, who was still skinny, said: "There are gods in mountains and rivers, and they live in the shrine; there are gods in rivers, and they live in Hefu."

Then he looked at the big hole on the cliff: "This is the shrine where the God of Mountains and Rivers lives. Those who approach it will definitely attract the wrath of the God."

Looking back, Jiang Zhu saw that the man on Laobie's back had walked into the cave step by step.

At this time, the sound of "hehe" came from the surrounding darkness.

Immortals!

It should be that the team was too far away from the old turtle. These undead people felt the breath of strangers and surrounded them, and there were quite a few of them.

Jiang Zhu was afraid of these corpses, and as soon as his expression changed, he pulled Zodiac and ran towards the cave.

The others hesitated for a moment: "Jiang Zhu is a shaman, and shamans are not in danger."

I don't know if I am convincing myself.

Jiang Zhu was very interested in the gods often mentioned in Jiaojiangkou, and looked into the cave, but there was no movement inside, so it should be safe.

It was night, and the cave was very dark. Jiang Zhu was about to turn on the flashlight function of his phone with some heartache, when a fire suddenly ignited beside him.

Zodiac held a lighted torch and pulled Jiang Zhu vigorously.

A few more torches were lit in the back, it was Uncle Jiaojiang and the others.

When the torch was lit, Uncle Jiaojiang's face suddenly changed, and he pointed behind Jiang Zhu: "It's the Jingu!"

The torches flickered, and there was confusion.

So many torches illuminated the entire cave.

Is this where God lives?

Jiang Zhu took a closer look and was stunned.

The cave is quite wide, with a platform extending into the distance in front, a deep pit around the platform, and a dark stone platform at the end of the platform.

Such a familiar structure, except for its scale and size, it is almost exactly the same as the cave that Jiang Zhu escaped from dead corpses in the Yellow River Cliff Scenic Area.

A cave with the same structure in two worlds, a place where gods live?

It turns out that there is such a shrine in that world?

For some reason, Jiang Zhu felt a little creepy, and even doubted himself.

What is the reality of the world?

In other words, all self-righteous people have always been a group of ignorant people.

The fire was so bright that Jiang Zhu could see the cave very clearly.

There are traces of chiseling on the stone walls of the cave, as well as ancient murals, which are definitely not formed naturally.

The murals are different from the cave on the cliff of the Yellow River.

Jiang Zhu took the torch from Zodiac and approached the stone wall to illuminate it.

In the swaying firelight, the ancient and dignified murals unfolded.

It was a very magnificent mural. There was a huge coffin on the ground, the only one, and a long-haired female corpse crawled out of the coffin.

There are ten huge sun patterns in the sky, which seem to be desperately scorching the female corpse, and the female corpse howls in pain...

The picture is magnificent, and there seems to be a sadness from the heart, an eternal sadness.

Jiang Zhu was so shocked by this tragic scene that he couldn't help but move the torch closer to the wall.

Just getting closer, the roar of "Zhizhi" came from inside the wall, as if... the wall was alive, and it was scorched by the fire and made a scorching sound.

Jiang Zhu was so frightened that he took a step back and almost bumped into the people behind him.

Tilting his head to look, it was him.

His face was obscured by the black robe and hood, as if something was blocking any view of him.

His gaze was also fixed on the murals on the wall.

He reached out and touched the howling female corpse in the painting.

"she!"

He couldn't hear any mood swings, but Jiang Zhu always felt that there seemed to be some difference.

What a weird person, with just one word, I don't know what it is expressing.

"There seems to be a flower there." Zodiac tugged on Jiang Zhu's sleeve, and then stretched out his hand to the inconspicuous little yellow flower.

It's just that they haven't touched it yet, and with a "boom", Zodiac's whole body burns without warning.

Jiang Zhu's heart was shocked, and he threw the zodiac onto the ground with all his strength, and kept rolling with the ground, only then did he extinguish the flame.

Zodiac was so frightened that his little face turned pale, and he hugged Jiang Zhu's thigh tightly. He thought it was just a small flower, and if it wasn't for Jiang Zhu, he would have been burned to death.

The people behind were also a little shocked: "There is a witchcraft left by the gods here."

Just as Jiang Zhu was about to ask about the situation, he saw a hand in the black robe thrust into the soil of the wall where the little yellow flower was.

"squeak!"

Roaring, the entire cave wall is roaring, angry, bloodthirsty, resentful!

Echoes, weird echoes everywhere, I don't know if it's the screams of insects, or the low growls and hisses of monsters, they can't tell the difference, they are all mixed together.

Terror rose from the bottom of my heart and spread uncontrollably to every part of my body.

I saw that hand came out from the wall, bringing out a lot of mud.

In the hand is a white jade-like stem, the small yellow flower is connected to the stem, and the roots are still wriggling, as if alive.

"Thousand-year jade old man." Uncle Jiao Jiang's voice came from behind, but was quickly drowned out by the terrifying cries from the wall.

Jiang Zhu swallowed his saliva, what kind of terrifying thing is inside this wall, the scream is too frightening.

God actually likes to live in such a place?I am afraid that the character is not something that ordinary people can understand.

The other people in the cave were so pale that they couldn't stand still.

But apart from roaring and panic, nothing seemed to happen.

If there really are gods living here, it is impossible for them to make such a big commotion without any reaction.

Uncle Jiaojiang and the others seemed to have recovered from the panic.

"The gods are fighting in the wild, and the gods here may have gone to the wilderness to fight in response to the gods."

"Look at the altar, it's covered with dust." Someone pointed to the dark stone platform at the end of the platform.

Jiang Zhu couldn't help asking the altar on the platform: "What is that?"

"The gods are in the palace of the gods, and the treasures of the gods are conceived on the altar of the gods. That is the treasure of the gods."

God possession?

There was nothing on the altar, it was empty.

There are many mud pits on the walls of the cave. Maybe there used to be many plants like small yellow flowers here, but they were just pulled out?

Whether it is planted or naturally grows here, there are too many doubts.

The cave looks big, but it is within sight. When he exits the cave, Jiang Zhu feels as if he has passed away.

In the end, Jiang Zhu didn't figure out what the frightening roar inside the wall was. Except for the man named Huo in the bronze coffin, no one dared to touch the wall. It was an instinctive fear, just like life. With the division of ranks, the lower life submits to the higher life from the heart.

It seems that the old turtle stopped here just waiting for the disaster to go in and take a look, and when the disaster came out, he took another step.

Jiang Zhu absentmindedly sat on the back of the old turtle and shook the small generator. He had to crank it in the middle of the night to fully crank the electricity.

"I'll teach you a more fun game, can you give me more jerky?"

Before waiting for an answer, something fell beside him. He looked down and saw that it was the thousand-year-old jade. It was really the same as white jade, crystal clear and transparent, as if white mist was rising.

Jiang Zhu thought to himself, this seems to be a good thing, but it is only the size of a fist, no matter how full it is.

"Can I replace it with jerky?"

Before the words were finished, "creak", the sound of the bronze coffin closing.

Jiang Zhu: "..."

It's over, I'm going to starve tomorrow.

Put away the stem that is as white as jade, the roots are wriggling so badly, if you don't put it away, you might run away.

Then he sighed and continued to crank the generator.

……

The next day was Jiang Zhu's seventh day in this world.

Jiang Zhu was a little surprised. Every time he fell asleep, he would dream of the scene of corpses being dismembered. Every time he slept less than an hour, he would wake up with cold sweat all over his face.

But this time he actually slept until the sun was shining.

Looking down, the little boy with the snail shell on his back was crawling into his pocket, probably trying to steal candy.

Uncle Jiaojiang said that with the witch Gu called Nightmare, he would not have to worry about falling asleep.

Breaking off half a lozenge for Little Nightmare, the little guy was stunned.

Holding half of the candy, he slipped into Jiang Zhu's sleeve, and ran away when he tricked the candy into eating it.

The old turtle has stopped moving, and the old turtle spends more time moving at night, but will take a rest during the day.

The voice of Zodiac came from not far away: "Jiang Zhu, I have prepared the medicine."

Wiping his saliva while talking, he can exchange his medicine for food at Jiang Zhu.

Jiang Zhu took out the millennium old jade from his pocket: "Today we only have this."

Discussing how to eat while using Master Gu to treat injuries.

The stone pot for boiling medicine has become a pot for boiling soup.

The soup is the same as milk, and has a sweet taste. After drinking it, it feels warm in the stomach, and it seems that there is a stream of air flowing in the body.

But...it's not very filling.

After barely finishing their meal, Jiang Zhu observed where they rested today.

As far as the eye can see, there are hills, continuous hills, strangely...

All the hills are barren of grass, and if you look closely, you can see scorched marks everywhere. The soil is scarlet, just like it was stained red by blood.

The traces of time have been etched into these hills, unlike the recent wildfires, because there is no carbon ash at all.

It should be a very long-term burn mark, but it is strange that after such a long-term burn, why didn't even a single weed grow back.

Jiang Zhu knew how strong the vitality of the weeds was, and it was as if he had been cursed here.

It is very strange here, with sadness in the vastness, as if it is telling some ancient myths and legends.

Jiang Zhu couldn't help but think of the murals he saw in the cave yesterday. The earth was scorched in the sky for ten days. If the ten days were closer to the ground, perhaps such a vast area could really be burned.

Could it be that the history recorded by the murals seen yesterday happened here?

So, is the burnt female corpse in the mural also buried here?

Jiang Zhu looked around again, the scarlet soil on the ground seemed to have some inconceivable curse, so that the undead people and the Garuda in the sky did not dare to step into this area.

Deadly silent but surprisingly safe.

Jiang Zhu just thought about it.

This time the rest was so long that even Uncle Jiao Jiang came over to ask why the old turtle didn't leave.

Jiang Zhu was taken aback, that's right, the old turtle used to leave immediately after resting for a while, what happened today.

The one in the bronze coffin is playing games too late to get up?

Jiang Zhu walked towards the bronze coffin, but he didn't ask, because Uncle Jiao Jiang and the others would not dare to get close to the bronze coffin.

He walked to the side of the bronze coffin and asked, and after waiting for a long time, thinking that there was no answer, a deep voice suddenly came out.

"Xuanpu Hill."

Jiang Zhu: "?"

"arrive."

Jiang Zhu's spirit was shocked. He once asked where the destination of the person in the bronze coffin was.

He remembered the cold question and answer Xuan Puqiu.

Jiang Zhu looked at the endless hills where not a single blade of grass grew, and couldn't make a sound for a while.

There are people, there are countless people who want to come here with the best hope in this world, Jiang Zhu can't even imagine how huge and unbearable the devastating blow of disillusionment will be when they get the answer.

Perhaps, there used to be singing birds, fragrant flowers, towering ancient trees, prey everywhere and berry gardens, but at least now it is a dry and dead land, as if cursed and blood-stained land, except that for some unknown reason, the undead people and Garuda did not enter here. Here is not as rich as outside.

Uncle Jiaojiang waved to Jiang Zhu anxiously.

Jiang Zhu walked over.

Uncle Jiaojiang: "How?"

Jiang Zhu took a deep breath: "That person probably won't be leaving for the time being."

Jiang Zhu still couldn't say the cruelest words in the world, because Uncle Jiaojiang said that his ancestors and grandparents have walked all the way for generations, and now it's his generation that came here, and the generations have never stopped.

Jiang Zhu knew what would happen to Uncle Jiaojiang and the others if the hopes of generations were to disappear in an instant.

And there are many, many teams like Uncle Jiaojiang and the others.

Because of too heavy expectations, no strong person can accept the cruelty of reality.

Jiang Zhu left after speaking, he was afraid that Uncle Jiaojiang would ask more detailed questions.

Jiang Zhu returned to the old turtle's back, holding half a piece of golden leaf in his hand. This is a kind of medicinal material that can cure the infection of undead people's scratches and bites. I heard that the leaves of the golden tree are very precious.

Back then, the person in the bronze coffin used half of it to save him, and he kept the remaining half.

Jiang Zhu looked at the pattern on his palm again, and it was very clear, the silver gate, with the sun and the moon flowing into it, just like when he saw it for the first time.

However, so far, it has not been clear what the significance of such a change is.

Thinking about it, his stomach growled again. Speaking of which, he drank a bowl of water today, and the thousand-year-old soup was enough to fill his teeth.

But the wound on the body, I don't know if it was the effect of the soup, it actually formed a scar, and when it was torn off, it revealed the intact white skin behind.

Really amazing.

However, he was still too hungry, so he had to ask the person in the bronze coffin for some jerky.

Slide down the old turtle and get close to the bronze coffin.

"Today I will teach you an online game, which is more fun than Tetris."

The hand inside the coffin stretched out.

The corner of Jiang Zhu's mouth twitched, he is a heavy gamer.

Just about to hand over the phone, Jiang Zhu was stunned when he raised his hand, because his whole body began to become transparent, as if... he was about to disappear from this world.

The pattern on the palm was as hot as a flame.

The bronze coffin shook, and it took an unknown amount of time before it returned to dead silence.

"Shenzang." The cold voice floated in the void.
