Chapter 230 Arrival, Xuanbing

Gao Jian didn't sleep well last night.

Indeed, he admitted that he had promised Dansha that he could let her follow him all the time.

But when it comes to sleeping, it’s better to be separate, right?

It was just that Dansha just looked at him at that time, without saying anything, but the look in her eyes clearly said: "Gao Jian doesn't keep his word..."

Gao Jian always felt that if he refused, something bad would probably happen.

So, facing Dansha, Gao Jian nodded and made a promise to Dansha reluctantly: "Okay, then you can stay with me until the matter is investigated clearly. Don't worry, nothing will happen."

"Then you sleep here tonight." Dansha pointed to her room.

"it's not good?"

Dansha doesn't speak.

"Okay, then I won't be so pretentious." Gao Jian was also very straightforward.

He would never say anything like 'Then I'll sleep on the floor~' or anything like that. Since the other party asked to sleep here, then he would sleep here!

But how to say it...

I'm not used to it.

Anyway, I didn’t sleep well and I don’t know why.

But there is nothing we can do.

After all, no matter how you look at it... this matter is indeed a bit scary.

The Ministry of Rites of the Divine Dynasty, what level of thing is that, I am afraid everyone knows it.

It's only natural that Dansha would be afraid of this.

In front of an existence of this level, it is completely understandable to be afraid, and Gao Jian would not say anything more because of such a thing.

It shouldn't take long anyway.

Just get used to it first.

The next morning, Gao Jian stood up after not sleeping all night.

Now that I’m in good health, it’s no problem for me to not sleep for a day or half a day.

However, when Shu Jian woke up, he found Gao Jian was not in the room. He glanced at him sideways, but did not say anything. He just crawled out to have breakfast.

Eating is the most important thing, and rats don’t care about these things.

On the other side, in Dansha’s private room, Gao Jian shook his head, got up, and washed up.

Dansha was much shorter than him, probably only reaching Gao Jian's chest. He stood in a row with Gao Jian and followed him to wash up.

However, a real dragon's washing is much more troublesome than that of humans. You can see that she is using a tool that Gao Jian has never seen before to pick her teeth instead of brushing them.

Even in its human form, a true dragon's teeth are significantly different from those of humans. The biggest difference is that its canine teeth are longer and more numerous, making it look more aggressive.

Fortunately, real dragons are not pure carnivores, so they do have large, flat teeth, but these weird teeth clearly show that they are not human.

Moreover, the teeth of a real dragon are consumables and are said to be able to grow indefinitely. After being pulled out, they will consume some energy and blood, and then they will slowly grow out after a period of time. However, the teeth that grow out will be weaker than the previous ones, and need to be slowly nurtured for a period of time. It will take decades to restore their previous strength.

Dansha found that Gao Jian was watching her brushing her teeth, so she turned her head and brushed her teeth secretly, but did not run away.

Gao Jian stopped looking at her upon seeing this, but he was still stealing glances at her.

Because many of Dansha's habits are really different from those of humans, and are also different from Gao Jian's previous understanding.

For example, scales.

In Gao Jian's opinion, Cinnabar's scales with silver and red colors and rainbow hues should be natural. As a dragon girl in the sixth realm, it is normal for her to have some very cool appearance.

however……

After brushing her teeth with the medicine powder, she actually took out a piece of black iron.

The pearl powder mixed with the East China Sea algae mud in the porcelain bowl emitted a pearly luster. The cinnabar transformed into its true form, but shrunk to two or three meters long, hovering in the bathroom. He dipped a little of it with a piece of black iron and then began to rub it hard on his body.

"What...are you doing?" Gao Jian couldn't help but ask.

"What? I'm polishing." Dansha said casually, but she immediately realized that this was probably a scene that Gao Jian had never seen before.

Then, she explained, "Humans don't have scales, so you probably haven't seen them before. Scales don't reflect light on their own, so they need to be well maintained. The ones I use are pretty cheap."

As she spoke, she began to introduce.

Listening to Dansha's chatter, Gao Jian finally learned some little secrets about the dragon girl's maintenance.

Mortals always think that the dragon girl's colorful body is natural. In fact, each dragon scale must be carefully polished with black iron sheets and dipped in various gems or pearl powder to achieve a star-like luster.

For example, their eyelids have a transparent nictitating membrane that allows them to open their eyes freely underwater. However, in order to make their eyes appear to flicker and sparkle... they need to use some radiant yang energy, such as solar essence or heavy water essence, to warm the nictitating membrane...

In this way, when they cover their eyes with the nictitating membrane, their eyes will appear very bright.

God has eyes, Gao Jian really thought that Dansha's eyes were so beautiful because they were born that way...

I didn’t expect it, I didn’t expect it...

In addition, there are some others, such as dragon horns.

Do you think the dragon horns are for decoration? Actually, they are used for heat dissipation. Therefore, when the amount of cinnabar exercise is particularly large, the dragon horns will change color, and ointments should be used to soften them and remove calluses.

The horns of each dragon are different, with different forks and angles, so the maintenance methods and decorations are also different. The horn decorations of each dragon girl need to be customized.

Dansha said this while demonstrating how he fixed the black pearl on the dragon horn. Gao Jian felt that it was extremely troublesome...

Moreover, because dragons always move in water, their hair and beards will be constantly impacted by water flow and easily become tangled, so they need to apply some specific ointments on their hair to ensure that they do not become tangled even in water.

This ointment will dry up in the air and turn into a film, which explains why the dragons' hair always has a pearly sheen...it's not natural at all.

When the human girl uses Impatiens to dye her nails, the dragon claws of Cinnabar also need to be carved. Dragon nails are also a kind of scales, and they need to be trimmed regularly to keep them sharp. If necessary, they will be carved on them to make them look good.

how to say……

It can be considered as an eye-opener for Gao Jian.

No wonder Cinnabar looks so dazzling and gorgeous in full makeup, while the dragon we saw in Shenguan looks a lot paler, just like... a painting without color.

Makeup is really a craft. It feels similar to martial arts. It requires serious study and improvement, otherwise you will not be able to keep up with the progress of others.

Fortunately, I don't have to learn how to put on makeup, Gao Jian was thankful.

When I first heard these, I was a little interested and thought they were just some trivia.

But the more he listened, the more tired Gao Jian felt.

I'm so tired... Can someone come and save me?

Then Shu Jian came knocking on the door.

Shushu seemed to be getting tired of waiting and banged on the door. "Didn't you say you were going to Imperial College today? Why haven't you left yet? What are you two doing?"

"Oh, here it comes!" Gao Jian stood up immediately after hearing that!

It's finally over. I feel like half of my energy this day was wasted on unimportant things. I'm afraid only a race as energetic as Dansha can insist on doing these things every day.

Anyway, it’s impossible to come up with a good idea.

Dansha, who was chattering, tried to stop him, but he still kept quiet.

When I opened the door, Shu Shu was outside with his hands on his hips.

As soon as Shushu saw the door open, he grabbed Gao Jian's trouser leg, climbed to the top of Gao Jian's head, and pointed at the door: "Let's go! Let's go!"

"The Imperial College's library! Here I come!"

----------

Three hours later.

"To the west of Taiwei are Shaowei, Lingtai, and Huben. These are three platforms with six stars, standing in pairs, starting from Wenchang and ending at Taiwei." Gao Jian looked at the map: "In other words, if we are not mistaken, Wenchang is nearby, and we are going to Taixue." Gao Jian said to Shu Jian above him and Dansha under his crotch.

"Are there any landmark buildings? Seeing how ostentatious the City of Gods is, I feel a place like Imperial College must be very dazzling." Shu Jian looked around and said so.

"It's hard to say if it's dazzling, but according to the book, the iconic surface of the Imperial Academy is a piece of frozen ancient black ice. It was pulled back from a mysterious place outside the domain by an earth immortal who came from the Imperial Academy. No one knows what its use is yet, so he hung it at the gate of the Imperial Academy, hoping that someone can interpret the information in it and use it to demonstrate the martial ethics of the Imperial Academy." Gao Jian said.

"The Eternal Mysterious Ice is not rare. It must be that the things inside are very powerful, right?" Dansha, who was on his way in the form of a real dragon, made his own speculation.

"Well, the frozen things inside are very powerful, so no one dares to thaw the eternal black ice until now. It is said that there is a broken halberd, a unicorn skeleton and a bronze chariot wrapped under the ice, all twisted into a shape of a twist, and seven heads that are screaming all the time are strung on the broken halberd." Gao Jian said: "The charm on it is extremely strong and obscure, and there is an indelible evil spirit. It is because of these strange things that the Imperial Academy chose to hang it up."

"Even Imperial College can't handle the charm? And you still dare to put it up? Aren't you afraid of ruining your reputation?"

"It can definitely be solved. In my opinion, the Imperial Academy has already figured out the aura inside, and what's left outside is just an empty shell." Gao Jian said, "If it's really a aura that can't be analyzed at all, they would have hidden it away long ago and not allowed anyone to touch it."

"That's true." Dansha nodded, and the scales on his body glowed with seven colors in the sunlight.

She was very satisfied with the shine, which was worthy of the great effort she had put into polishing it this morning.

Unfortunately, Gao Jian is like a blind man.

As he was speaking, a man, a rat and a dragon suddenly flashed before his eyes.

It was like a "changing scene". Before their eyes, a huge palace suddenly appeared above them and continued to "fall" down.

This is also part of the operation of the Divine Capital. Even the Imperial Academy is constantly moving. If you don't wait along its path of movement, you will have to compete with the Imperial Academy in speed.

This is the bad thing about traveling in the capital. In a metropolis that operates automatically, the common sense of traveling is different from other places, and it takes some time to get used to it.

But anyway, I learned a lot.

The first thing that caught my eye was light snow.

It was snowing in Taixue. It was winter now, and there were only a few days left until New Year's Eve, so the weather was a bit cold. Coupled with the coolness brought by the Eternal Mysterious Ice, there were some small snowflakes around.

What is strange is that these small snowflakes are not in a fixed area, but are always moving with the sky.

The weather in the divine capital Yangjing is like this. The weather is not fixed in a certain area, but moves with the buildings, because the weather is not formed naturally, but arranged by humans.

It’s that huge piece of black ice.

A thin layer of snow covered the bluestone steps. On the nine steps stood a dozen feet high ancient black ice. The ice was blue-gray like the frozen sky, and the surface was covered with spider web-like cracks. The cracks were emitting a faint blue cold light. At the root of the ice grew a few clusters of strange flowers of unknown species. The petals were as thin as silver needles. The cold air condensed into white mist swirling around the stems and leaves. The ice mist refracted a tiny rainbow in the sunlight, which should have been born from the absorption of ice air.

The Eternal Mysterious Ice appeared in front of the three, locked by many chains, and there was indeed a broken halberd locked inside.

Seven heads were stuck on the broken halberd. They were obviously not human, and it was unknown what race they were. The heads kept howling, and they were still making screams similar to "Ahhhhhhhh!". It was a bit funny, but also a bit terrifying.

Imagine... what would happen if you were one of these heads?

As a high-level spiritual material, the Eternal Mysterious Ice will normally not melt. In other words, it will be sealed inside forever and wail forever.

As for the others, they seemed to be traces left by the battle itself, twisted chariots, dead Qilin, all of which revealed a sinister aura.

Qilin, which is also one of the "most primates of all creatures", is the most primate of caterpillars, but now it is dead in the black ice.

The cinnabar fell onto the bluestone steps and transformed into a human body.

Gao Jian held Shu Jian on his head and looked up at the Imperial College in front of him.

It was actually quite plain, with just some dust-repelling runes engraved on it.

The blue brick ground was covered with frost due to the current temperature and the ancient black ice. Fingernail-sized pieces of ice were embedded in the cracks between the bricks, and when you stepped on them, you would hear a tiny cracking sound.

There were some silk cloths hanging in many places, which should be curtains, something to block the wind. There were many words on the silk, but it was not clear what was written on it for the time being. These curtains were slightly bulged by the draft, making a slight sound.

"Let's go, just look... it seems like there's not many people around." Shu Jian looked around curiously. Shu Shu, who had always been very arrogant, now stayed obediently above Gao Jian's head, not daring to act rashly.

After all, this is Taixue.

"New Year's Eve is almost here, it's time for everyone to have a holiday." Gao Jian said as he walked inside.

Dansha said nothing, grabbing the corner of Gao Jian's clothes, seeming a little uneasy.

Walking further in, you can see a "gate", which is made entirely of wood. The wood grain is naturally winding like meridians. There are some patterns carved in the center of the blue brick floor. There are several ridge beasts on the eaves, all covered with snow, and a few startled birds are ringing their bells.

Right here, there hangs a plaque.

The plaque simply has the words "Taixue" written on it.

finally reached.

"newborn?"

"Report?"

Two voices were heard at the gate of Imperial College.
