In the morning light, a procession in black cloak marched through a vast empty frozen plain, and there were a few snowflakes floating in the sky.
After three days of arduous trekking, the tall silhouette of the Ascending Mountain Range finally revealed its true face, and the location of Qingluan Academy was finally in sight.
The effect of Qingluan Academy's pale green ointment is unmatched by any modern ointment, and after every night's deep sleep, the swelling and pain of the feet will disappear, and even the injuries on the soles of the feet will scab off and return to the same as before.
It was also with the help of this grass-smelling ointment that Lin Xi and all these new students of the Zhige system were able to persevere.
After the three days of difficult trekking, the faces of the forty-one new students of the Zhige Department have been thinned, but they are a lot more energetic, and everyone's food is much larger.
In the beginning, most freshmen could only eat a palm-sized steak at a meal, but now even the smallest of them can eat about two of these steaks in one meal.
I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but the wild but cold-looking black-haired man did not hunt the antelope again every time he hunted after that night, and brought back a much larger long-horned elk.
The fat of this elk is fatter and the aroma of roasting is stronger, which makes the black cloak made of the fur of the North Sea otter in the group with a smell of meat.
"That middle-aged uncle, what did he leave behind in Qingluan Academy?"
Lin Xi walked in the middle of the team, looking at the cold and mysterious Ascending Mountains from afar, with snowflakes fluttering and clouds and mist halfway up the mountain, far away and unreachable.
Although he had already accepted his new identity and was very content with this world, it was an indescribable emotion, perhaps the unresolved loneliness and incomprehension that he and the old man in the car talked about, but it made the legendary middle-aged uncle the real reason why he must enter Qingluan Academy.
And, perhaps, the middle-aged uncle will be able to give him answers to many questions.
A stone path that only allows two or three people to walk side by side appears at the foot of the mountain, winding up with a light white snow, and within the middle of the mountain, the snow turns into hard ice and fine ice edges.
The black-haired man stepped on the stone path first, very easily, and there seemed to be no difference between the usual scattering.
He smiled wildly, and swept over Lin Xi and everyone like a threat: "Look at the foot, follow this road, climb over this mountain, before the sun sets today, I have to climb to it, if you can't climb, just spend the night on this road." ” However, when everyone stepped on the stone path and looked up, they could not see the top of the mountain he was talking about.
This Ascending Mountain Range is too high, after a hundred steps, each step consumes a lot of physical strength, and in the future, except for Xia Yanbing and the black-haired man, the rest of the new students of the Zhige Department are really using their hands and feet together, even so, every time they go up, they must stop and gasp for breath.
A large dense forest of huge cedars suddenly appeared at the end of the narrow ice-snow stone path, as if passing through another world, and all the new students who were panting like cattle were silent after passing through this huge cedar forest that covered the sky and the sun.
Opposite the flat hillside in front of you stood dozens of hills, all of which were towering with towering palaces, windows shining in the sun.
Especially on the top of the hill closest to them, the palaces that were connected together jutted out of the mountain, as if they were towering directly above their heads.
The reflection of the jade-like walls and golden glazed tiles made these freshmen a little blind.
Lin Xi was also speechless, compared to the scene in front of him, the imagination of modern people was still too scarce, and the majestic palace group on this mountain alone surpassed the scene of the Gondor City in the Lord of the Rings.
"Why is this a spring bloom instead of a frozen world?"
someone asked blankly.
"That's a stupid question, too."
The dark-haired man nodded at the end of his line of sight, disdainful of explanation.
At the end of the line of sight is a horizontal, even higher mountain range, like a huge city wall.
Like the Four Seasons Plains, this place is a basin in the mountains, and the cold current blowing from the north is blocked by the huge mountain that stretches across it, and the disturbance caused the cold wind to completely slide over the top of the alpine basin.
The mountains that are hundreds of meters tall can only be regarded as protrusions in the basin in this huge mountain range.
"Keep climbing" The black-haired man and Xia Yanbing led these new students of the Zhige Sect, who were already too tired to take a step, to climb the nearest and relatively low hill to them, and finally arrived in front of a huge black lacquered wooden door.
"Nobody get down" The black-haired man raised his fist and, in the midst of laughter, slammed it into the massive black lacquered wooden door.
"Qin Maniac" With a whispered curse, the door suddenly opened, and a tall, horse-faced woman, like the black-haired man, wearing a black professor's robe embroidered with silver stars on her chest and cuffs, stood in front of it.
Her face was so stiff that the first impression to everyone was that this woman was very stern and difficult to speak.
"Professor Li, it's been a long time, should we go and fight first," the black-haired man laughed at the tall, stern-looking horse-faced woman.
The tall horse-faced woman glared at the black-haired man fiercely, ignoring it at all, and easily opened the door that was half a meter thick, and at the same time sternly said to Lin Xi and all the other new students who were already so tired that they would fall down at any time: "Don't waste things, otherwise you will fall into my hands." ” None of the freshmen understood what the horse-faced woman professor meant when he said don't waste anything, but as soon as they walked through the deep foyer, everyone was stunned.
A small cobblestone square was lined with two dozen large wooden tables, each filled with food.
Roasted elk steak, roast pheasant, roasted roe meat, rice, pastries, all kinds of vegetables and vegetables, and many kinds of tubers and fruits that even the Golden Spoon boy has never seen.
"Now you can do whatever you want, as long as you can eat," the black-haired man said with a meaningful look at the stunned group of new students.
"Ahh A new student of the Zhige Department suddenly pounced on the tables full of food like a tiger in the oven.
To be honest, the black-haired man didn't keep them hungry except for forcing them to travel for too long, but the unseasoned barbecue for several days was only enough to fill their stomachs, especially since everything on the wooden table looked very delicious.
Everyone took a bunch of things, let go of their stomachs and munched on them.
"Is this a welcome banquet, will there be a problem if you don't wait for people from other departments?"
someone asked suspiciously.
"Sort of."
The black-haired man who was directly grabbing a roasted whole sheep and munching on it said casually: "Our Zhige Department is like this every year, you said that there will be no problems to eat your food, don't worry, anyway, you can't finish eating, even if you finish eating, that Professor Li will also prepare." ” "Will people from other departments also rush here, will we live here, doesn't it mean that there is the most important tradition in the future, and we have to accept the admonition left by the dean, when will we accept the admonition left by dean Zhang?"
someone couldn't help but ask.

"Don't worry, it's until noon tomorrow, and you'll live in that place."
The black-haired man casually clicked, and all the freshmen involuntarily followed his fingers, and found that it was a temple with at least seven floors in the shape of a corner tower, and the location was already on the edge of the cliff on this mountain.
"Why are there no other brothers and sisters?"
"All the new students will live on this mountain, and the senior brothers and sisters of each department are on other mountains, and you usually have the opportunity to meet.
As for what you will live on in a year's time, you will find out next. ” "Do you have to wait for all the rest of the department to arrive before we accept the dean's admonition, so what are we going to do next?"
"The next thing is to eat, sleep, and wait for them to arrive, and you have an extra day of rest than they do."
The black-haired man glanced at all these new students, "Otherwise, how can you understand the truth that more efforts will always pay more" "Professor Qin, you're so good," the freshmen were stunned for a moment, and then let out a scream of joy.
"Yes" The black-haired man in the cheers and praises bowed his head, intently nibbled on the roast sheep in his hand, and smiled self-deprecatingly in his heart: "I just hope that among your group, there will be fewer people who will disappoint me in the future." ” "The other lecturers will not come over until tomorrow, so you can only rest in this courtyard, and when people from other departments arrive tomorrow and accept the dean's admonition, there will be lecturers to help you arrange the next living and classes."
Xia Yanbing's serious voice also sounded, "All people are not allowed to leave this courtyard, otherwise they will be directly punished from Qingluan Academy." ” No one cares if this is too strict, this courtyard full of food is already a paradise compared to the difficult trek of the previous days, and this batch of new students of the Zhige Department is really too tired, after eating and drinking one by one, even Lin Xi, who felt that he could not immediately see the things left by the middle-aged uncle and felt slightly regretful in his heart, immediately rolled up his thick and soft cloak and fell asleep, and slept unconscious.
The next day, when the first freshman of the Zhige Department woke up, the sun was already very bright.
The madman, the black-haired man, like a javelin, stood at the top of a temple on the edge of a cliff, looking into the distance, not knowing how he had gotten there.
In the ice field at the foot of the Ascending Mountain Range, a large group of people wearing black cloaks had approached the foot of the mountain like a swarm of black ants
