The Emperor is Above

Chapter 274: High Priest Chen Lun

The old voice was cold and hard.

It was so cold that hundreds of students couldn't help but shiver.

It was so hard that even Xing Boyun's face turned stiff, and Zhonghang Shuo, Qi Huangyang and other playboys looked uneasy.

Qing Yi followed the sound of footsteps and saw a short old man in a gray robe with a stern look walking out of a three-story building behind ancient pine and cypress trees.

Following behind the old man was a shy sixteen-year-old boy who smiled secretly at Qing Yi. He was Yang Hu, the son of Yaqing Yang Lezi who had disappeared before.

It turned out that he disappeared from the scene just now, not to escape early to avoid suspicion, but to go to get help, risking offending a large group of people including Xing Boyun, Zhonghang Shuo, Qi Huangyang, etc.

At this time, Zhu Zhiwu whispered behind Qing Yi, "This is Chen Lun, the chief priest of the Imperial College. He has a stubborn and hard temper, even worse than my grandfather's. When he gets angry, he even dares to scold the king.

But I have rarely seen him in the past year. I didn’t expect him to be in the Imperial College today. I don’t know how Yang Hu invited him out. It’s really rare.”

Before he finished speaking, the old man in gray robe came closer. He was no more than seven feet tall, or about 1.6 meters. He had an ordinary appearance, about seventy years old, but his back was very straight. His stubborn and cold look gave people a strong sense of oppression.

He looked around coldly at Zhonghang Shuo, Qi Huangyang, Chunyu Ke, Gu Liangchang, and other royal family members, making these dandies feel uncomfortable.

Then he sneered at Xing Boyun and said, "Your Excellency has repeatedly asked me to teach you more in order to help your son become a talent. I believe that a gentleman must have self-control before he can rule others. Your son is already a young man, so he only needs to follow the routine and study and practice every day.

Now it seems that the thorns grow straight without support, and the white sands become black with the dye. It is because I feel ashamed of the high hopes placed on me by the Lord of Xing that I indulged the prince to ride a horse and fly an eagle every day. Now he is going to show his power in the Imperial College. "

"High Priest, please forgive me!"

Xing Boyun's face was pale, but he was cursing his bad luck in his heart.

In the past, this stubborn old man was busy studying runes and formations every day and had not been seen for several months. This was the reason why the discipline at the Imperial College was lax.

I didn't expect that this old man would show up in the Imperial College today, and was invited out by Yang Hu. I will remember this grudge today.

Thinking of this, Xing Boyun couldn't help but look at Yang Hu fiercely, which caused Chen Lun to sneer and said, "Do you think Yang Hu asked me to come out to stop you from committing a crime?

You are wrong. Fortunately, I came to the Imperial College today for something. If I hadn't been here today, you guys would have been beaten up.

Even I, an old man who hardly goes out, have heard of the great reputation of Mr. Guqiu Yi Shangshi. Do you think that you are promoting his reputation for no reason?
Even the third-level beast soul warriors of the Ghost Witch Department died in his hands. You still want to win by relying on numbers. It's really ridiculous."

Zhonghang Shuo and Qi Huangyang looked at each other in bewilderment. They had not expected that in the eyes of the High Priest Chen Lun, their little plans were as shallow as those of a three-year-old child.

At this time they didn't dare to say anything more. They could only keep their heads down and keep silent, pretending to be honest children. After all, they wouldn't lose a piece of meat if they were scolded.

However, the chief priest Chen Lun knew what these playboys were thinking after just one glance, and said in an unquestionable tone: "It seems that I have been too busy studying the rune formation of the city defense formation in the past year, which led to my overindulgence in you.

In this case, each of you will refine an eighth-grade magical instrument independently before the New Year, and attach your experience and experience in refining the instrument, as well as the detailed records of the refining process."

"what!"

Zhonghang Shuo was immediately frightened and quickly explained, "Grand Priest Rong, it's not that I have the courage to question it, but now the New Year is only a month away-"

"That means there are still thirty days left. Two hours of sleep a day will be enough."

Chen Lun's sharp eyes made Zhonghangshuo shudder and dare not say anything more, trembling like a quail. Everyone present watched Chen Lun mercilessly scolding this group of playboys, including Xing Hou's son Xing Boyun, and they all felt sympathetic.

Just when everyone thought Chen Lun was about to leave after scolding people, he angrily shouted at the hundreds of students watching: "A gentleman has his own ways of doing things and his own ways of not doing things. How can you sit on the other side of the river and watch a fire or a tiger fight?

Yun Yi, you are a rune master and a student of the Imperial Academy, but the animal tusk puppet soldiers you made can't beat Zhong Hangshuo. This shows that you are lazy in your daily practice. Before the New Year, you should copy and study this stack of runes thoroughly. After the New Year, I will personally check your homework. "

"I?"

Yun Yi felt that he was wronged so much. He didn't expect that he would not only be scolded just for watching the fun, but also have to do an extra rune homework. Looking at the thick stack of mysterious rune formations that Chen Lun threw to him, he felt that his whole life was dark.

But seeing Chen Lun's fierce expression, he could only lower his head helplessly and said, "It's the high priest!"

The appearance of Chen Lun, the chief academic officer of the Imperial College, overwhelmed the entire audience with his most powerful attitude, making a major conflict disappear in an instant.

Xing Boyun, Zhonghang Shuo and others left dejectedly, not daring to say even a word of resistance. They could only curse in their hearts that they were so unlucky today.

Qing Yi also felt that Chen Lun did have a bad temper and would scold anyone he met and was not easy to get close to, so he prepared to follow Zhu Zhiwu and quietly call Yang Hu to leave the scene.

Chen Lun suddenly called out to him, "Sir Guqiu Yi, the Lord has given you the token that he has worn since he was crown prince, which is enough to prove how much he values ​​you.

The prince even told me personally that you can stay in the Imperial College for a maximum of one month, and you can attend any of the courses in the college and read all the books in the library at will.

I don't know why you are so high-profile on your first day at the Imperial College. However, the Imperial College is a place for cultivation and learning, not a place for fun and frolic.

Since you have such an outstanding talent as a rune master, you should cherish your talent. Don't bring useless animal tooth puppet soldiers into the Imperial College instead of studying the rune formations. "

"Your Excellency's kindness and the High Priest's tolerance will be remembered in my heart!" Qing Yi first bowed to Gong Shifang and Chen Lun in gratitude, then he refuted very firmly,

"The High Priest said that the Beast Fang Puppet Soldiers are just toys for fun, but I don't agree with that. In my opinion, the Beast Fang Puppet Soldiers are not just toys, but important helpers to help the Talisman Master improve his practice."

"Guqiu Yi!"

Zhu Zhiwu and Yang Hu were so frightened by Qing Yi's bold behavior that their faces turned pale. They didn't expect that the High Priest Chen Lun had already let him go, but Qing Yi took the initiative to provoke the High Priest.

"Haha, good, very good!" Chen Lun said expressionlessly with a sharp look in his eyes, "I have long heard of the talented young man named Guqiu Yi Shangshi. Today I see that he is indeed extraordinary.

Then please tell me carefully, since the beast tusk puppet soldiers are not toys, how should they help the talisman master to improve his practice?"

Faced with the obviously suppressed anger of High Priest Chen Lun, Zhu Zhiwu and Yang Hu were trembling with fear, but Qing Yi looked calm and talked freely.

He took out the beast tooth puppet soldier from Zhu Zhiwu's arms, and introduced it with a chuckle, "Great Priest, please take a look. This is the beast tooth puppet soldier I hastily carved today. It took me less than half an hour to make.

I think that in the Imperial College, no matter whether it is the weapon refiners, talisman masters, pharmacists, or sorcerers, there is a very important problem, that is, the lack of ability to apply what they have learned.

The previous beast-tooth puppet soldiers were too simple, and of course they were only used for fun, but the beast-tooth puppet soldier I made requires a deep understanding of the rune formation. During the production process, I must fully master the coordination of various runes and have fun.

Secondly, manipulating this beast tusk puppet soldier is an excellent exercise for the soul power of the talisman master. Not only can talisman masters and weapon refiners use it to exercise their soul power, but sorcerers and pharmacists can also use it to exercise their soul power. It is a good sport that combines education with entertainment. "

Zhu Zhiwu and Yang Hu thought that the high priest Chen Lun would be furious, but this bad-tempered and stubborn old man was unexpectedly quiet. He reached out to take the one-foot-two-inch animal-tusk puppet soldier, turning it over in his hands and studying it silently.
