After Cheng Mingyue returned to normal, the three of them walked towards the academy which looked a little dilapidated.

There is only one closed door in this place, which is unattended, as if it had been abandoned long ago.

Guan Gui asked: "Exploring the road?"

It seemed that he wanted to use some method like asking for directions or something like that to go in and investigate first.

Li Rui shook his head and said, "It's better to say goodbye, just in case they just don't like cleaning. If someone inside catches your little devil, even if we have a token of Master Fuyuan, it will be hard to explain."

He walked forward and knocked the door knocker.

Bang bang bang.

Then there was a long silence.

After a while, just when Li Rui was about to knock again, the sound of the door bolt being lowered came from behind the door, which was not much taller than a person, and then opened a crack.

A young man's face appeared, staring at the three of them suspiciously and saying nothing.

Boom.

The door closed again.

"Hello!"

Cheng Mingyue wanted to step forward to argue, "You are too rude!"

"etc."

Li Rui stopped Cheng Mingyue who wanted to call the door, "Something's wrong, look."

When he reached for the academy door knocker again, he failed to lift him up again, but passed through it like a ghost.

"Eh?!"

In Cheng Mingyue's shock, Li Rui walked directly to the door without pushing it open. He walked through the door and disappeared.

After a few seconds, his figure reappeared.

"What kind of skill do you have!"

Li Rui shook his head: "It's not skills. We don't seem to be entities. It's just that when we were first transported, we weren't fully integrated yet, so we knocked on the door."

He grabbed Cheng Mingyue's hand and pulled it. They both passed through the gate of the academy and came inside. The back of the young scholar just now was still fading away.

At this time, Guan Gui also followed in.

"I remembered something."

"There should be a demon-suppressing tower in Jingyang Academy, but there isn't one here."

After he finished speaking, Li Rui and Cheng Mingyue were stunned for a moment.

They had previously studied the information on Jingyang Academy. According to the map drawn by the Department of Supernatural Powers, there was a twenty-eight-story tower in the center of the academy, which contained the evil monsters on Guiweiling Ridge that they had subdued.

This tower is the landmark of the academy. It is said that because of the suppression of evil spirits, even from dozens of miles away, one can see Haoran's righteousness rising straight into the sky without even a cloud above his head.

"Isn't this place Jingyang Academy? No, that strange high wall and gate are fine, and not far away is Guiweiling Ridge."

Indeed, everything else can be faked, except the 800-mile-long Ghost Crying Ridge. No matter how awesome a person is, even if he is the master of Piyuan, he cannot create a ghostly mountain out of thin air.

"Don't worry about it. Let's go in and take a look first. What can we guess by just guessing?"

Li Rui greeted, and the three of them quickly chased in the direction of the young man who opened the door.

At least from the current point of view, the other party has no malicious intent. It is just because the three of them made some mistake and have no entity, so they cannot be seen by the other party.

The other rooms and pavilions in the academy are also in a dilapidated state.

To be precise, I didn't see much decay, just a feeling that it had been rarely cleaned, and almost no one moved around.

For such a force that, although not as good as the Shenxiao Palace, can still be regarded as a first-class righteous force, this situation should not happen.

The three of them all made secret assessments in their hearts and walked deeper at the same time.

Finally, after turning several corners, life appeared ahead.

"One, two, hey!"

"One, two, hey!"

Many strong men are shirtless in front, working enthusiastically.

Surrounded by some wood, stones, hammers and hammers, this is a construction site.

"They're fixing something."

The three of them ran nearby and saw not only craftsmen working hard, but also many scholars wearing long robes and cloth hats like the man who opened the door were also on the construction site.

However, they mainly inscribed on some plaques and pillars, and then recited some mantras to provide blessings.

"Hey, tell me, what they are building is not the Demon-Conquering Tower, right?"

After hearing this, Guan Gui immediately said: "The location is right. If we add a part of the building that should have existed, this is it."

Cheng Mingyue said: "I'll go take a look."

She clattered down the steps and ran to the high point. When she looked back, she saw that the dilapidated academy was indeed very similar to the description in the Ministry of Supernatural Powers materials, except that there were many fewer buildings in the outer circle.

At this time, Li Rui and others also followed up and saw the same scene as her.

The conversation between two people came from behind. One was a young man who opened the door just now, and the other was about the same age as him. He had thick eyebrows, big eyes, a square face, and looked more calm.

"Perhaps you heard it wrong. Since you didn't see anything when you opened the door, it can't be someone who came to tease us poor scholars, right?"

"It's not impossible. It's just that I felt a little uncomfortable at the time. I don't know why."

"You have time to think about it, why not go see how they are sorting out the library."

"I know, I know, Mr. Cen Da, just take your orders."

The man who opened the door left, and the three people's eyes were drawn to the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

"What did he call him?"

"Mr. Cen Da?"

"Um."

All three were silent.

There was indeed a Mr. Cen Da in Jingyang Academy, who was the most knowledgeable person in the academy and was in charge of the academy's ritual ceremony, but Chongxu said that he had been killed.

"Ah I know!"

Cheng Mingyue said excitedly, "This place is the real Jingyang Academy. It's just that Master Fuyuan's spell went awry, allowing us to only see the illusion of the past!"

As soon as she expressed this idea, she heard an old voice coming from behind.

"Little girl, you are right, but not entirely."

"This place is indeed the Jingyang Academy before the ZTE, and what you see is indeed the phantom of the past. However, it is not that Master Fuyuan's magic has gone awry, but that I dragged you in."

The three of them turned around and saw an old man with a long beard and long hair standing behind him. He was wearing a school-style gown, but without a belt or a jade ring. He looked like a sloppy scholar who was down and out.

Li Rui took a step forward and cupped his hands and said, "I have met Mr. Cen Da."

Cheng Mingyue's eyes jumped back and forth on the two people's faces: Huh?

The old man smiled and said: "Little brother, how do you know that I am Cen Lanjing?"

"Guess."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Mr. Cen Da's smile turned into a laugh, "Okay, okay."

He suppressed his smile, pulled back his hair, and then he also raised his hands and said sternly: "You guys don't have to be polite. I dragged you into this illusion without any discussion. I apologize here for now."

"Where is it?" The three of them returned the greeting.

Li Rui straightened up and said: "Mr. Cen Da, please forgive me for being presumptuous, but it is rumored that you have encountered something unexpected. What is going on now?" (End of Chapter)
