Chapter 17 Entering the Library
In the spacious and bright room, bookshelves were crisscrossed, and the bookshelves were filled with all kinds of ancient books, which seemed to be particularly bookish.
At this time, in the center of the room, four people were standing there quietly. Behind the table in front of them, an old man with white hair and beard was sitting upright on a chair, slowly flipping through the books in his hands. The whole room was filled with a quiet atmosphere. The
four people in the room were the Canaan students who had won the top five places with Xiao Yun. Judging from their appearance, they had obviously been waiting here for a long time, but there was no impatience on their faces. Firstly, the old man reading a book in front of them is Hu Qian, the vice president of Canaan Academy, and secondly, the person who asked them to wait is Xiao Yun!
The learning atmosphere of Canaan Academy is very friendly, but that is compared with the Black Horn Region outside. As long as the lives of the students are not endangered, in Canaan Academy, the one with the bigger fist is the boss and is worthy of enjoying more practice resources. And Xiao Yun's fist is bigger than the four of them, so Xiao Yun is qualified to let the four wait for him!
Fortunately, Xiao Yun did not deliberately come late. He came immediately after hearing Hu Jia's message.
After the four stood in the silent atmosphere for nearly ten minutes, Xiao Yun finally came.
Dongdongdong!
There was a knock on the door, and at the same time a voice came from outside the door, "Dean, Xiao Yun is here."
"Please let him in." He put down the book in his hand, and then looked at Fang Wen and the other four people, "When you enter the inner courtyard in the future, you may have to work together. If the new students who enter the inner courtyard every year do not stick together, the ending will not be very good. In addition, in the inner courtyard, strength is respected. Whoever has the stronger fist and speaks the truth will get more resources for practice. There, any background of yours is useless!" With the last sentence, Hu Qian's eyes were fixed on Xiao Yun who had just entered the door, and his words were self-evident.
Hearing Hu Qian's words, Xiao Yun at the door hurriedly took two steps forward, bowed and said, "Student, please remember the dean's teachings."
"Xiao Yun, you are finally here." Hu Qian said with a smile. His attitude was completely different from before. His eyes lingered on Xiao Yun's face for a while, "Good. The fighting spirit in your body is more condensed. It seems that your foundation has been strengthened a lot after the selection."
After Hu Qian and Xiao Yun looked at each other for a while, his experienced eyes noticed that under Xiao Yun's calm appearance, there was a fiery irritability and instability. He looked like a calm mountain with a hidden volcano. At any time and place, the terrible volcano in his body would erupt with astonishingly terrifying energy.
"Since everyone is here, I won't say any more. You should know the purpose of calling you here." Hu Qian stood up from his chair and said with a smile, "You are the top five in this round of the selection. According to the rules of the academy, you are eligible to enter the library once and choose a treasure from it based on your luck."
As he spoke, Hu Qian came to the wall behind him and clapped his hands casually. A low rumble sounded, and then a hidden secret door appeared in front of everyone.
"Follow me." Hu Qian waved to the five people and took the lead in entering the dark passage. Xiao Yun saw that the four people did not move and wanted him to go in front, so he followed Hu Qian in without hesitation. After Xiao Yun went in, the other four people walked into the passage one by one.
The passage was pitch black and quiet, with only the rustling of footsteps.
"Whoosh!"
A bright flame emerged from Xiao Yun's hand, illuminating the entire passage and attracting everyone's attention.
"Put out the fire. You are all great fighters now. Can't you see the road?" Hu Qian said unhappily.
"Okay." Xiao Yungan laughed twice, looked at everyone awkwardly, and put out the fire in his hand.
...
After walking in the passage for nearly half an hour, a little light finally appeared at the end of the passage. Seeing the light, the people in the passage all quickened their pace. After a while, they finally came to the end of the passage and stepped out. The
dazzling sunlight shone down from the sky, causing Xiao Yun and others who had just walked out of the darkness to close their eyes slightly out of habit. After a while, they slowly opened their eyes and looked at the scene in front of them. Everyone couldn't help but be a little surprised.
At this time, in front of Xiao Yun and others, there was a valley with a groove in the middle of the valley, which was obviously man-made.
"Is this probably caused by the semi-saint dean?" Xiao Yun thought secretly in his heart. Apart from Mang Tianchi, he couldn't think of anyone else in Canaan Academy who had such greatness. The
steep mountain wall continued upwards, and finally to the end of the line of sight. Among the three cliffs, there happened to be a very wide flat land. At this time, on that flat land, a huge and heavy ancient attic that was a bit shocking was standing there.
His eyes slowly scanned the huge and ancient attic, and finally stopped at an extremely ancient plaque outside the attic. On it, there were three characters that were eroded by time and were somewhat blurred. "
Book Collection Pavilion!"
Although they were just standing far away and watching, Xiao Yun and his companions could still feel the ancient artistic conception contained in the three blurred characters. It was indeed the most mysterious book collection pavilion in Canaan Academy. This ancient plaque alone revealed its identity.
Hu Qian led the five people and walked slowly towards the library. When they were about to enter the library 20 meters away, he suddenly stopped and clasped his fists in the direction of the library and said: "The top five of this year's inner courtyard selection competition have been born. According to the rules of the academy, I will bring them here. Please open the door!"
Hu Qian's words were blessed by fighting spirit and echoed in this small valley for a long time. Not long
after Hu Qian's words fell, Xiao Yun's eyes, which were originally looking at the library, suddenly stopped, and his eyes swept to the side, and finally stopped at the two gray-robed figures sitting cross-legged on the ground at the gate. When he came in earlier, he clearly saw that there was no one at the gate.
And now, these two grey-robed men suddenly appeared here, as if they had been sitting there all along. "As expected of the two elders, the strength of the Dou Zong peak is indeed terrifying. Even my soul perception did not detect when they appeared."
Xiao Yun was secretly shocked. Although he had long known the strength of the two elders, as the saying goes, seeing is better than hearing. A Dou Zong-level existence can be considered a strong man even in the entire Dou Qi Continent. In the northwest continent far away from the central zone, it is simply a giant!
