Chapter 86: Stab with the Other’s Spear (Part )
When Xu Shanshan saw this, she was shocked. How could this be possible?
She hurried over, pushed away the best position that Shanzhang had grabbed first, squeezed to Xu Shanshan's left hand, and grabbed a small corner of her clothes: "Second, second brother, what should we do now?"
This series of small gestures to show intimacy is typical.
Second brother?
Oh, so the two are relatives, no wonder they dare to bully others so openly... an old head monk with a green tea personality muttered to himself.
Gu Yue Jiayue also walked forward naturally and took the position next to Xu Shanshan's right hand. Amid the wide-eyed and indignant expressions of the people in Yingshan Academy, he said with a serious face.
"The demon has killed Lei Feng. Has the situation become more troublesome?"
This is a serious discussion about business, so they... can only endure it!
"What's more troublesome? Can't Lei Feng die?"
Many people became anxious after hearing this and asked cautiously.
"What happens if you die?"
At this time, Master Chen's old bones were almost shaking apart.
Half fear, half regret.
After living for most of my life and educating for most of my life, this is the first time that I have misjudged someone. The person "Xu Chu" is not a plague god, but a blessing god, his life-saving straw.
But he is power-hungry and only likes students majoring in liberal arts. He doesn't like students who are specialized in certain subjects, and he dislikes those who study Yijing even less.
If he had not forced her to drop out of school, as Xu Shan's mentor, he should naturally be assigned a front seat in the first row, and Gu Yuejun would not have gotten such a big leak.
As a result, he was pushed to the very back and dared not say a word.
Xu Shanshan didn't rush to answer Gu Yuejiarong. She glanced at the people who had gathered around her and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
what happened?
How could she ask that?
The faces of the people in Yingtian Academy froze. What could have happened? Of course they wanted to ask the big boss for help.
The students in the academy were shallow-minded and could not judge her expression. Their hearts were beating fast: Could it be that she was resentful of them for being shallow-minded and spreading all kinds of "rumors" about her behind her back and mocking her for fortune-telling, so she planned to let them fend for themselves?
The teachers were all sweating profusely: Could it be that she was holding a grudge against them for previously looking down on her, refusing to teach her according to her class background, and rejecting her?
Although they, like Master Chen, had hoped that she would drop out of school to avoid teaching such a student and bringing shame to their Yingtian Academy.
But now, now, they have all changed their ways!
The headmaster was worthy of his title. He decided to face it bravely for the sake of all the teachers and students. He said in a friendly manner: "Xu Chu, you are so young, but you can fight against demons and evil spirits. You must be a master from your sect or some mysterious sect. I don't know what you practice, but I heard that saving a person is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Saving the people of the academy is even more meritorious. Do you... believe this?"
Yes, yes, if what she does is an act of accumulating merit and blessings, then she must be a broad-minded person who enjoys helping others, and will definitely not care about the rifts between them in the past.
"This is something from Buddhism, right? My second brother shouldn't be under their jurisdiction."
After Xu Shanshan finished speaking, she glanced at Xu Shanshan to see if she agreed. If her expression changed, she would immediately change her words.
"Then what does your second brother believe in?" The headmaster simply asked Xu Shanshan, his relative.
What does she believe in?
This question stumped Xu Shanshan.
Does Xu Shanshan have faith?
She doesn't seem to know much about the current "Xu Shanshan".
Although she didn't know, generally speaking, if one is strong enough to ignore the rules, he or she probably doesn't need to look for any spiritual support. If he or she encounters someone blocking his or her way, he or she can just deal with it.
At this time, Gu Yue Jiarong said: "She probably believes in cause and effect. If you sow good seeds, you will reap good fruits."
When Xu Shanshan heard him finish speaking, her eyes, as clear as autumn water, looked at her pleadingly. She smiled, turned to the headmaster and said, "Yes, I believe it."
Only then did everyone dare to breathe a sigh of relief. Just now they were like "prisoners" waiting to be tried. They almost suffocated in the tense atmosphere.
"So what should we do now? The man who conspired with Lei Feng to murder the academy just now said that we all have to... die. Mr. Gu Yue also said that if Lei Feng died, we would be in even greater trouble."
All the gentlemen are intellectuals, but intellectuals also have barriers when faced with such mysterious things. They are completely at a loss as to what to do.
"Can you still hear the bells now?" she suddenly asked.
The teachers and students of Yingtian Academy looked at each other in bewilderment, and then discovered in surprise: "Can't hear it anymore?"
"Really? I can't hear anything at all. What's going on?"
The current situation clearly seems to be more serious, but why do they seem to be getting better?
They looked at "Xu Chu" with confusion, seeking answers.
Gu Yuejiarong was the one who reacted the fastest. His eyes flashed and he asked, "...did you do something just now?"
"Go and pry open Lei Feng's mouth and take a look." She pointed to the head that was rolling down not far away.
Hiss—everyone subconsciously followed her line of sight and saw that Lei Feng's head was strangled, with blood and dust rolling all over the ground. His bloodshot eyes were faintly visible among the messy hair. They felt a pang of pain in their teeth when they saw it.
Is it so harsh? Digging a dead person's mouth?
Seeing that they were still not moving, Xu Shanshan's pretty face turned serious and she said sarcastically, "You are a bunch of cowards. If you don't want to go now, you will have to be companions with the dead in a while."
The effect of these words was so strong that not only did the teachers move, but the students also followed suit.
They tried hard to control the horror, nausea and tension in their expressions, and then used a lot of strength to pry open Lei Feng's mouth, only to see a bloody red foam inside, and then they saw that the tongue was gone.
They were dumbfounded, their faces filled with shock: "He...what happened to him? Where's his tongue?"
Xu Shanshan walked behind them and watched calmly: "It was bitten off before it was killed by the demon."
Before being killed?
"Why did he bite off his tongue?" the old headmaster asked in a trembling voice.
"That's right, and...where did his bitten-off tongue go?" Mr. Nangong asked anxiously.
Xu Shanshan walked to the mutilated body of Lei Feng and said, "This tongue-teasing evil was created by his hatred and the tongue-cutter. However, after Lei Feng learned the truth, he regretted his decision and was willing to die to atone for his sins."
"If he wants you to die, then this tongue curse will be hard to resolve. But if he wants to save you, he only needs to refine himself into a part of the tongue curse. Once the demon kills him, it will be equivalent to destroying everything."
"We don't understand what you mean. He bit his tongue to save us?" some students were puzzled.
It would be too complicated to explain everything with words, so Xu Shanshan only described the process: "He asked me how to atone for his sins. I told him that he only needed to bite off his tongue and swallow it, and he would be able to break the tongue curse, but he had to do it before being killed by the demon."
He had also experienced the pain of a severed tongue once, and this could be considered as retribution for himself.
Bit off your tongue and swallowed it? !
Just hearing about this bloody process made their scalps tingle.
"He still wants to avenge his wife and daughter. I told him that he only needs to lure Chi Mei to kill him, and Chi Mei will be completely desperate. Even if she ends up hurting herself and sacrificing her life in a very tragic way to fill the hole left by Lei Feng, it will be useless. She will die with regrets."
After hearing her words, the young people in Yingtian Academy who had never seen the world and had never experienced any social abuses were almost stunned. What a vicious plan.
Thinking of Lei Feng's severed tongue and head, and the demon gouging out its own eyes and turning from a beautiful woman into a white-haired old woman's mummy, all because of "Xu Chu", they couldn't help but shudder.
She only needs to move her mouth to make the other party fight each other, and finally die together, all of them die miserably, and she just reaps the benefits.
They couldn't tell whether this was powerful or terrifying.
Except for Xu Shanshan and Mo Han who had some understanding of Xu Shanshan's style of doing things and looked calm, the others had complicated feelings at this moment, including gratitude, fear and worry.
...We agreed that after killing Lei Feng and Chi Mei, we can no longer take revenge on them.
Their brains are not as good as those two, they will definitely not be able to resist!
Xu Shanshan saw that everyone from Yingtian Academy had quietly moved away. Previously, they had used Xu Shanshan as a "mother hen" to block the eagle, but now she finally realized that this "eagle" was none other than her.
If they are not afraid of death, they will rush to deliver food to the "Eagle".
Mo Han took the opportunity to step forward, and these people finally moved out.
Gu Yuejia Rong was just like usual. Even after hearing what Xu Shanshan said, she did not change her attitude: "Since that gossipy demon is gone, why is it still dark?"
Everything she did was to save people, even if some of it was horrifying, but the people who died were those who deserved to die. He got what he wanted and avenged his great hatred, so it was reasonable for him to sacrifice himself for this. What's more... Lei Feng himself was not innocent either.
Xu Shanshan looked up: "The evil spirits are still gathering in the sky, blocking out the sun, so naturally we won't see the dawn."
"Is it true that as long as this evil spirit dissipates, Yingtian Academy will return to normal?"
Xu Shanshan raised her arm, and a strand of hair on her temple fluttered in the breeze. "I promised you something, and I won't break my promise. If you want to save them, I will make sure they are all alive and well."
Xu Shanshan formed a star seal with her hands, and rays of light flew out from under her feet like silver chains, then shuttled and intertwined, finally merging into a ray of light that shot straight into the sky. The explosive power expanded -
The sky was twisted into a huge black vortex with rolling dark clouds and thick black color. The fierce wind blew violently, making them stagger here and there, holding their hats. Looking up at the sky, their mouths were wide open.
bang——
The powerful airflow hit the embankment like a surging wave, and the gloomy energy covering the Yingtian Academy was completely dispersed.
As the haze faded, the sky showed its original blue and clear color, and the sky became bright.
It was only one or two days since they had seen the light, but they seemed to have been blind for a long time. They stared at the sun with tears in their eyes. Even though their eyes turned red and sore, they were unwilling to close their eyes.
"It's dawn..."
"Yes, it's really dawn—"
Recalling the miraculous power created by "Xu Chu" just now, they were greatly shocked. If they had not retained some rationality, they would have wanted to kneel down and worship him on the spot, shouting "God".
Xu Chu, you are our God!
You have done immeasurable merits and deserve to be enshrined in the Imperial Temple!
-
Outside Yingtian Academy, a dusty young man propped up his hat with the hilt of his sword and looked up at the four gold-plated literary characters "Yingtian Academy".
I knocked on the door but no one answered. I waited for a whole day but no one came out. This Yingtian Academy is really a bit weird...
The boy thought for a moment and came up with an idea.
"Sorry."
After verbally apologizing, he jumped onto the wall as nimbly as a kite. Just as he was about to flip over and go inside, he seemed to hit something, bounced in mid-air and fell down.
He looked up in astonishment, looking at the air above the wall, with an incomprehensible look on his face.
"What happened? Did something hit me just now?"
he said to himself.
"No way, try again."
The young man threw his cloak away and tried to repeat the same trick, but a hand pressed on his shoulder.
"Wait a minute, this Yingtian Academy seems to be shrouded in an ominous black aura. If you rush in like this, you might get hurt."
This peaceful and cold voice was very familiar. The young man turned around and was surprised on the spot: "Master Jiashan?!"
Jiashan clasped his hands together and said, "We meet again."
"Master Jiashan, why are you here?" Chi Jiangdong took off his bamboo hat, revealing his shiny black hair that fell behind his shoulders. The young man smiled with a mouthful of white teeth, his eyes were as bright as stars, and he was extraordinarily handsome.
It is a happy thing to meet an old friend in a foreign place.
Jiashan was wearing a white monk's robe. His skin, which was whiter than the robe, glowed softly in the sunlight. His face was as handsome as a dream.
"I followed you all the way here."
Chi Jiangdong was puzzled: "Master, why are you following me?"
"You are planning to look for Xu Shanshan, right?"
He nodded: "Yes, she took something very important from me, I have to find her."
"It just so happens that I am also looking for her. I heard that your village has a unique technique for tracking people. Once someone is locked by you, it will be difficult for them to escape. That's why I followed you all the way."
"So Master Jiashan is also looking for Xu Shanshan." Chi Jiangdong scratched his cheek with his fingers and asked in confusion, "But how can you keep up with my schedule?"
Jiashan did not hide it. He took out a ceramic bottle, which was only the size of a finger, opened the lid, and a red bee flew out.
It turned around and then stopped directly on Chi Jiangdong's shoulder, with a clear target.
"This is a guide bee. They are born as a pair. I am a male bee. No matter how far away you are, as long as you have the scent of the female bee on you, it can find you."
"So, Master Jiashan had already smeared the scent of female bees on me? How did you know that I would definitely go find Xu Shanshan?"
Jiashan did not answer this question. He only asked: "Xu Shanshan, is he in Yingtian Academy?"
"I tracked it here, but I'm not sure yet—"
Suddenly, an invisible force surged up from the academy and rushed straight into the sky. The sky above the academy, which had been normal before, was suddenly covered with dark clouds. It was as dark and gray as a huge block of lead, making people feel uncomfortable and depressed.
But its existence was only fleeting, because soon it tumbled, as if it had met an evil star, and was strangled and twisted into a black vortex. With a final explosion, it turned into shimmering fragments until it disappeared without a trace.
Really hammered.
Jiashan and Chi Jiangdong said in unison: "She must be here!"
