Chapter 210 Shikigami
The ancient key, placed on the ground, emitted a primordial aura that spread outwards. The Siku Quanshu (Complete Library of the Four Treasuries) even began to emit a signal, seemingly showing great interest in the key.
"This is?"
A strange feeling arose in Ye Ru's heart, and then he prepared to pick up the key on the ground.
As he bent down to pick it up, his vision suddenly blurred.
"This key is mine."
Immediately afterwards, a voice came, causing Ye Ru to look up. He saw a young man dressed in black robes, whose every move exuded a strong sense of coldness.
"this is yours?"
Ye Ru raised an eyebrow and said.
"Yes, it is undoubtedly mine. If you don't believe me, you can see two words on it:"
"Azure Dragon"
The young man said calmly, and Ye Ru looked over and saw that the key really did have the words "Azure Dragon" written on it.
These two characters, vigorous and powerful, are surprisingly both in bronze script.
"This is……"
Ye Ru's heart skipped a beat, a sense of mystery welled up in his heart, and then he said;
"Jinwen, Azure Dragon, what does this mean?"
"Can you give me the key now?"
The young man snorted coldly.
"Feel sorry."
Ye Ru picked up the key and handed it to the young man, but silently memorized the type of key in his mind.
"Thank you."
The young man left behind two sentences, then turned and left. Ye Ru stared at the young man's back for a while, seemingly finding him somewhat strange, before finally leaving.
"Boss, you're back."
When Ye Ru returned to his study, Xue Hanshu had been waiting there for a long time.
“Young Master Ye Ru, this scholar has been waiting here for quite some time.”
“Sister-in-law, why are you calling me a young master? My name is Xue Hanshu, you can just call me Hanshu from now on.”
Xue Hanshu bowed and then said respectfully.
'What's wrong? ’
Ye Ru nodded and asked.
"Regarding the academy, the New Youth Society has encountered some problems. For some reason, this afternoon, the Jiuge Society, together with the Qianhua Society and the Canglan Society, jointly opposed it, saying that our poor students' creation of the academy would only bring shame to Yingtian Academy, and that we are nothing but a bunch of good-for-nothings and good-for-nothings."
Upon hearing Ye Ru's question, Xue Hanshu's face showed a hint of anger, and then he clenched his fists and said.
"Oh? I've never heard of the Canglan Academy before, but I know about the Jiuge Academy and the Qianhua Academy."
Ye Ru raised an eyebrow, took a sip of tea, and asked with a question, while also being surprised by the efficiency of the Nine Songs Academy. They had just offended the Guan Sheng family in the morning, and the other party had already retaliated in the afternoon.
"The Canglan Academy has a long-standing reputation and contains many talented individuals from the academy. It is one of the ten most influential academies in Yingtian. Moreover, the leaders of the Jiuge Academy and the Qianhua Academy separated from the Canglan Academy."
Xue Hanshu said in a deep voice.
"No wonder, the Canglan Academy has such a rich history. It seems that it will be quite difficult for our new academy to be established."
Ye Ru tapped his fingers lightly on the table as he pondered.
"But the head of the Canglan Academy approached me privately once, saying he wanted to establish this new youth society. It's not impossible, all you have to do is let the head of the society go to their head."
Xue Hanshu hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted his teeth and spoke.
"You want me to go see their boss?"
Ye Ru frowned slightly. The other party's actions were indeed impolite. The other party should know this, but the fact that the other party dared to overstep the bounds and violate etiquette was somewhat unacceptable.
Did he say when?
Ye Ru asked again.
"I told you, tomorrow at Chenshi (7-9 AM), he will be practicing calligraphy next to the Boya Tower. If you dare to come, he will be waiting for you there."
Xue Hanshu said.
"Alright, Brother Xue, you should go back first. I will keep my appointment tomorrow."
After seeing Xue Hanshu off, Ye Ru returned to his seat and carefully considered the actions of the head of the Canglan Academy.
"Young Master Ye Ru, what are you thinking about?"
Su Tongyao brought over a bowl of noodles and then said.
"It's nothing, I just feel that tomorrow's invitation seems like a trap."
Ye Ru smiled, feeling rather hungry, and picked up the bowl of noodles to eat. But when he saw that Su Tongyao showed no sign of resting, he said:
"Tongyao, you go and rest first. I'll rest after I finish eating my noodles."
"Then, Young Master Ye, I'll take my rest now."
Su Tongyao nodded and then went back to her room.
"Xiaobai, do you know a key? It's very old-fashioned, and the words 'Azure Dragon' are written on it."
Ye Ru ate his noodles while talking to Xiao Bai, who was curled up on the bed.
"Azure Dragon, the key?"
A hint of surprise flashed across Xiaobai's eyes, then he asked again:
"Can you tell me exactly what that key looks like?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Ru described the key to the former, who then fell into deep thought:
"Azure Dragon, Key, I seem to have some recollection of it. If I'm not mistaken, this person should also be a branch of the Yin-Yang School, an Onmyoji."
"Onmyoji?"
Ye Ru was startled and said.
"Yes, I told you before that the Yin-Yang School broke away from the Taoism and became its own school. However, after Li Si suppressed the Yin-Yang School, it declined. Some of its members separated and did not recognize the status of Donghuang Taiyi. They sought other paths and thus evolved into another school, the Yin-Yang Masters."
"These Onmyoji are masters of the Yin-Yang Way. They know how to observe stars and read faces, as well as predict directions and omens. They are also shamans who can draw talismans, chant incantations, and perform illusions. Their only strength is in summoning shikigami, which reside in different objects. I think this Azure Dragon is a medium for storing shikigami."
Xiao Bai pondered for a moment, then carefully explained the matter of Onmyoji to Ye Ru.
"I never expected that besides the Yin-Yang School, there would be Yin-Yang Masters. It's really strange."
Ye Ru took a deep breath and then said.
"Well, that's all I know. I'm sleepy, I need to rest."
Little White covered its mouth with its little paws and then said.
"Alright, then let's rest. Tomorrow I still need to find the leader of the Canglan Academy. I really feel that this leader is a bit strange."
Ye Ru casually said something, then turned off the light. Because of what Ye Ru had been thinking and learning that day, he was extremely tired and fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.
The next day at dawn, Ye Ru got up and headed towards the Boya Tower. Along the way, he encountered many students from poor families. They greeted Ye Ru and their eyes showed respect and awe.
As Ye Ru walked along the road, he was still thinking about the Yin-Yang Masters. He now possessed a treasure of the Yin-Yang School, and he wondered if showing it off would attract their covetousness.
After turning two or three corners, a huge tower appeared in front of Ye Ru, who was also aware of the legends surrounding this giant tower.
