Chapter 136 A Family [Please give me a monthly ticket! ]

On top of Langyun Mountain.

Liang Pengji pointed at a piece of paper, which emitted a silver light and spun around in the air.

When it passed a tree, there was a hissing sound, and some wood chips fell down, and it seemed as if nothing had happened. But if you look closely, you will find that half of the trunk has been cut, but because the cross section is extremely thin, it is not easy to see.

"For getting the top spot in the same subject in the exam, the reward is just such a small thing. This Kendo Academy is really stingy." The black shadow beneath him said sarcastically.

"It's just a monthly exam, not a big one, so there won't be any big rewards." Liang Peng patiently urged the thin book paper, which was as thin as a cicada's wing and as sharp as a knife, to gradually establish a connection with it, and said at the same time: "And this is the model of the academy. If you want magic weapons, you still have to work hard on your own."

The advantage of the students trained at Kendo Academy is that there are many of them.

No other sect can educate a large number of students every year like the academy.

But the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, it is impossible to concentrate resources, and the resources available to each disciple are very limited.

Theirs is not the kind of inheritance between master and apprentice, or father and son, where the master has a son apprentice or a beloved disciple, and the relationship is extremely close.

Students in the academy have more than one teacher, and they only have one teacher for four years. Once you leave the academy, you can still come back to see the teacher if you want to recognize him in the future. If you no longer recognize the teacher in the academy, he will not force you to do anything.

This was set at the outset.

The purpose of establishing other sects is to continue their own heritage and promote their own sect, while the Kendo Academy is to cultivate talents for the dynasty.

Therefore, if the students in the academy want to obtain spiritual plants, magic weapons and other resources, on the one hand, they can do so through monthly exams, quarterly exams and other examinations; on the other hand, they can help the teachers in the academy, complete some assigned tasks, and exchange their contributions for rewards.

Of course, the most convenient and quickest way is to get support from home.

Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles, and traveling ten thousand miles is not as good as having great wealth.

Liang Peng obviously does not have this feature. Not to mention a rich father, his family doesn't even have a father.

The rewards Liang Yue gave out for meritorious service seemed to be a lot, but he had spent quite a lot on buying a set of hidden weapon equipment for himself. If he really used it to support a Qi Refiner, it would still not be enough.

In fact, except for the Xuanmen disciples with profound background, the vast majority of Qi Refiners in the world are in a state of "poor cultivation" without sufficient spiritual plants and magical tools.

"If you want to get elixirs, spiritual plants, and magical tools, you can actually go to the Rakshasa Ghost Market to look for them yourself." The black shadow suggested, "The prices of things there are much cheaper than on the market."

"Cheap things must have disadvantages, right?" Liang Peng asked calmly without getting angry.

"Hehe, it's a black market after all." The black shadow said, "The stuff there is mixed, you might get a great bargain or you might get ripped off, but you can rest assured that I'm here. I've been in the underworld for so many years, so my eyesight is definitely good."

"You have been practicing for so many years in total, and you have been a different person for a considerable period of time. Excluding the years of suppression, is it really a long time?" Liang Peng asked.

"Hey hey hey!" The black shadow was furious, "How can you talk like that...Punch wherever it hurts?"

His original body was the Demon Lord Dong Yuefeng. Nearly a hundred years ago, he was broken into three Lords, Blood Lord, Bone Lord, and Shadow Lord by Master Zhang Xuan. Only then did Shadow Lord regain consciousness. Fifty years ago, his body and soul were sealed separately. All in all, if we only talk about Shadow Lord’s consciousness, the time he was suppressed was actually longer than the time he was free. He spent most of his life in prison.

Although it hurts his heart, Liang Peng did think about what he said about the Rakshasa Ghost Market.

He had also heard of this place in the Kendo Academy. It was said to be a mysterious place similar to a black market for practitioners, a place where the law had no control over it at all, and all buyers and sellers were lawless outlaws.

There is nothing they dare not sell, only you dare not think about it.

It is a gathering place for demons, evil spirits and underground practitioners.

Just as he was thinking, a yellow light flew over from a distance and slowly landed in Liang Peng's hand, with a bamboo slip on it.

"Is someone looking for me?" Liang Peng recognized that this was the message delivered by the mountain gate.

When I opened it, I saw three small words engraved on the bamboo slip.

"Hong Yuling?"

"Hey?" The shadow laughed mischievously, "My little lover?"

Liang Peng didn't say anything, but silently stretched out his hand, and the dragon talisman in the distance was taken away.

"Ah——" The black shadow left behind only a scream.

……

When I saw Hong Yuling at the mountain gate, her hair was disheveled, her pretty face was covered, her dress was stained by traveling across mountains and hills, and she looked very miserable.

"Liang Peng!" She raised her eyes and saw a young man in Confucian robes appear and immediately pounced on him.

"What's wrong?" Liang Peng held her elbows and asked gently.

Hong Yuling took another step forward and hugged him with trembling hands, like a frightened little rabbit, sobbing, "I don't know where to go, I don't know what to do, I can only think of coming to find you..."

"Don't be impatient." Liang Peng didn't push her away this time. Instead, he patted her on the back and comforted her: "This is the Kendo Academy. It's very safe. Take your time."

Hong Yuling gradually regained her composure, still a little distraught as she said, "I don't know what happened. Two days ago, after I got out of school, two acquaintances from the gang came to me and said my dad wanted to take me to another place for dinner, so I went. But when I got there, they locked me up and said they would let me out only after my dad agreed to something."

"This morning before daybreak, Master Bai came and took me out. He said that my father is in hiding for the time being and Hong Xi is a traitor. I cannot trust anyone in the gang and must ensure my own safety first. But I don't know where to go, and I thought... maybe you can help me."

"You are right." Liang Peng said softly. If it was a normal person, he might persuade him to go to the government. But for a family like Hong Yuling, the people who arrested her father might be from the imperial court. If he went to the government to report, he would most likely fall into a trap.

After hesitating for a moment, he said, "I don't know what happened now, so I can't give you any advice. I will go down the mountain to find my eldest brother and use his help to find out what happened, and then come back to inform you. I will help you arrange a place to stay in the mountain, so please wait for me for a while."

"Um..." Hong Yuling grabbed his sleeve, "Are you going down the mountain? Can you take me with you?"

"No." Liang Peng said, "The Sword Academy is the safest place, don't leave yet."

……

In Fukangfang, Liang Yue and the people from the Zhuxie Yamen walked out of the alley together.

"We will work with the Ministry of Justice to find Hong Yuling and try to get there before the Lu family does," Wen Yifan said.

"I'm so sorry to always trouble you, seniors." Liang Yue said with a smile.

"Since you have joined the Zhuxie Yamen, you are just like a member of our family. There's no need to be so polite." Shang Yunhai replied.

Although he came along this time, he didn't get the chance to take action before the situation was settled, which was quite regretful.

"Yeah." Wen Yifan nodded in agreement: "My family is gone, and now Zhuxie Division is my home."

"It's the same for me. My family has all passed away." Shang Yunhai said, "We orphans have to take care of each other."

"My family is fine..." Liang Yue said weakly.

Okay.

I almost got myself involved.

If that's the case, then you're the only one who suffers by being "just like family members."

"Ha." Shang Yunhai hurriedly added, "Junior Brother Liang is naturally different from us."

Liang Yue asked carefully: "When Xuanmen recruits disciples, will they take this into consideration?"

He didn't know whether it was the Xuanmen sect that preferred to accept disciples who were not bound by family, or whether there was really such a saying that people who practiced Taoism had five disadvantages and three shortcomings, and were doomed to be unlucky, and that if they stayed for too long they would bring death to those around them.

"If you had practiced for a longer time, you would have heard about it." Shang Yunhai said, "We are all descendants of a family of immortal cultivators. My family has lived near the Wild Beast Plain for generations to monitor the movements of monsters. My parents died unexpectedly in a monster tide."

"Junior Sister Wen's family is also an ancient immortal cultivation family, with a history of tens of thousands of years, and has produced many famous figures. Unfortunately, many of them died in order to protect Jiuzhou, and now only Junior Sister Wen is left."

When he spoke, there was no extra emotion in his words and he sounded very calm, as if he was talking about someone else's affairs.

The bloodline of a family of cultivators has been accumulated from generation to generation, so the probability of the emergence of immortal cultivation seeds is indeed higher.

In fact, this kind of accumulated absolute talent is the majority. For a family like the Liang family that had no practitioners in the previous generation, it is a heaven-defying thing for three geniuses to suddenly emerge.

After saying that, Shang Yunhai found that the straps of his shoes were a little loose, so he squatted down and tightened them.

"I see." Liang Yue gave him a look full of respect.

Senior Sister Wen also said calmly, "Soon after my mother gave birth to me, she went to participate in a great battle to slay demons and never came back. Before me, she was the last heir of the Wen family. At that time, she named me Yifan, hoping that I could be a mortal, ordinary, and live a peaceful life."

Although she said it calmly.

But Liang Yue could still feel the tragedy and grandeur of it.

A family has lost its members for generations to protect Kyushu, and in the end, almost all of them have withered away. The only hope the parents have for their child is that she can live a peaceful life as a mortal.

But she is not only extraordinary, but also born with a peerless appearance and a natural immortal body.

I don’t know whether it is a blessing or a curse.

"Senior Sister Wen." Liang Yue was slightly moved and said, "We will always be a family."

"Yeah." Wen Yifan responded softly, and then said: "You don't have to feel pity or anything. The mission of the Wen family is to protect, and I have accepted it."

"I just admire him." Liang Yue said sincerely.

The two walked forward side by side without saying anything more, and the spring breeze passed by silently.

Shang Yunhai, who was behind him, had just squatted down to tighten his shoelaces when he looked up to find that the two people had already walked out of the alley and turned.

"Eh?"

He called out softly.

How come you guys walked so far while I was just bending down to tighten my shoelaces?
Not even a glance at me.

Then I...

Should I follow him?
