Chapter 17 The Compass
Li Ang opened his eyes, "Demon?"

"Heterogeneous in appearance similar to life."

Cheng Juxiu said: "For example, giant barnacles are a huge group of barnacles that are half a meter long and connected end to end. They float and lurk under the sea all the year round, like underwater islands.

Once there is a ship above it, or a creature like a giant whale swims by, it will rise rapidly and devour all objects.

Wood, ceramics, rice, steel, cloth, and even people.

It was only 70 years ago that our academy officially captured samples of giant barnacles, and based on the direction in which the giant barnacles might drift from the endless sea, we drew a new chart and distributed it to all merchant ships sailing in the East China Sea. This reduces the probability of the East China Sea ship missing for no reason.

And the giant barnacles are just insignificant monsters in the endless sea.

The purpose of the school is 'to learn by investigating things, and then to know things'.

Although we also explore the endless sea like the former Sui emperors, it is not to satisfy our own selfish desires, but to explore the unknown.

This point, you will understand when you enter the academy.

Every year, the Academy organizes senior students to go to various parts of Yu State and even overseas to engage in exploration and practice. "

"In fact, this is why the academy insists on recruiting only disciples with spiritual talent."

Pu Liuxuan on the side added: "There really are demons in this world.

It is the Academy, the Zhenfu Division, the Ministry of War, and the Taoist Gate of Haotian that separate the existence of demons from ordinary people.

In addition to demons, there are three other types of monsters: demons, strange, and strange.

Demons, just like in the storybook novels, refer to aliens that look similar to creatures. For example, the one-person-tall wild boar with tusks that Fusi captured on the mountain ten years ago is a monster.

It's just that there is nothing wrong with it except for its huge size.

It's a far cry from anything I've seen before.

Demons refer to aliens that look like humans.

Alien refers to a different kind that has no life in appearance.For example, whisks, swords, crossbows, armor, etc. that can move on their own and have various weird appearances.

As for the cunning, it is the most unpredictable and dangerous of the four kinds of aliens.

It can be a sentence, a dance, or even... a phenomenon.

The original purpose of the birth of the academy was to explore the unknown, to collect information about monsters, demons, strange, and weird, and to find ways to exterminate them, or to suppress and contain them.
Under the huge shadow cast by the strangeness, the ordinary people are sheltered. "

After Pu Liuxuan finished speaking, he looked at Li Ang quietly, thinking that he could see a shocked expression on Li Ang's face, but he didn't want Li Ang to groan, and immediately asked, "Demon, devil, strange, strange.

It turned out to be like this, no wonder there are only a few words in all the story books, dramas, and ghost novels without detailed descriptions.

Is the school deliberately concealing, or downplaying the existence of aliens, also in order to protect ordinary people? "

"Yes."

Pu Liuxuan nodded and said: "For ordinary people, the less they know, the safer they are.

It's okay to say that it's like a demon or a demon.
Some strange and strange species, even if they just know about it, will bring disaster to themselves.

There are even some weird creatures, the more people know about them, the stronger they become. "

Pu Liuxuan paused for a moment, and said slowly: "For countries all over the world who believe in Haotian Daomen, the bells ringing at Chenzheng and Xuzheng every day actually also play a role in driving away evil spirits.

The sound of the bell, which gathers the thought power of hundreds of millions of living people, can directly extinguish the lingering flames of ordinary evil spirits and deprive them of the soil for survival.

Therefore, the more peaceful the world is, the less evil spirits there will be.

The more rampant the military disaster in the world, the more people die, the weaker the orthodoxy is, and the more evil spirits there will be. "

"The Chaotic Times at the End of the Sui Dynasty"

"When the bones are exposed to the wild and people change and eat each other, the human world is no different from the demon realm.

Demons are raging, and there is no sky.

And the meaning of our school's existence is to prevent that kind of thing from happening again in Yu Country. "

Pu Liuxuan said slowly: "Risheng, have you thought about it.

If you can really enter the academy, it doesn't mean that you will have a bright future, a smooth official career, and you can be a domineering official.

The Academy was built and maintained by the State of Yu with all its efforts. The disciples of the Academy have responsibilities and obligations, and there are also huge potential risks.

People can't fully understand monsters, demons, strangeness, and weirdness, even the most powerful monks can't.

Sometimes, it's not a bad thing to be a rich man and live your life ignorantly. "

".Teacher, I've made up my mind."

Li Ang took a deep breath, "If I retreat at the last moment, then my reading of "Shangqing Inspiration Chapter" in the past few days will be in vain."

"Hehe, speaking of "Shangqing Inspiration Chapter","

Pu Liuxuan asked with a smile: "Risheng, have you read anything during this time?"

"this."

Li Ang looked embarrassed. If Pu Liuxuan asked about his impressions, it would be fine. He wrote a lot of impressions in the memory of the other world.

but feeling.
Does the pain in the egg count?

"That's not it?"

Pu Liuxuan shook his head, "Forget it, after all, there are only a small number of geniuses in the sky, as long as they can pass the passing mark.

Juxiu, take out the compass. "

"it is good."

Cheng Juxiu picked up a heavy iron box from the ground and put it on the table.
The iron box is square, without any rivets or lines on the sides and bottom, only a raised ball on the top, which is engraved with patterns like planetary rings.

Cheng Juxiu flicked the ball lightly, like a combination dial of a safe, and opened the iron box with ease.

Li Ang glanced at it, and the box was full of various sundries.

There were five or six small porcelain vases, four black iron balls, three silver ingots, three gold ingots and three copper ingots, two bound books, a square compass, and a gray candle.

Cheng Juxiu took out the compass and candles from the iron box and placed them on the table.

The overall compass is a simple and profound black-yellow color, with a black-and-white two-color Tai Chi gossip pattern in the center. From the inside to the outside, it is divided into dozens of concentric rings, and the grid of each ring is engraved with words.

For example, A, B, C, D, Wu, Geng, Xin, and Guan are compared to peeling, kun, and dry.
There are also some strange patterns engraved on the grid.

From the sun and the moon, to dragons, phoenixes and unicorns, and even some unnamed ferocious beasts.
