Chapter 105 Li Chu's feelings gradually fade away...
After the joke, Wang Longqi continued:
"At first they wanted to pay a large sum of money to hire some seriously ill dying people or buy some death row prisoners...but they soon found that people who came in like this would not be chosen by the disaster."
"The one who died in the end was the one who was actually ranked last."
"In this case, they will have to choose from the candidates who take the exam. Besides being a waste, there are many other considerations."
"For example, we won't choose children from poor families, only children, or children from wealthy and powerful families..."
"Anyway, I was chosen in the end..."
At this point, he laughed at himself and said, "I really believed in the nonsense of saints at that time."
"They all felt guilty about this scapegoat, so over the years, an unwritten rule has formed in the academy."
"Everyone has to give this scapegoat special treatment, that's why they are so enthusiastic about me."
"Yesterday, after I learned the truth, I didn't dare go out. As a result, when I got up to drink water, I slipped and my nose bled a lot. I didn't want to waste it, so I wrote you a letter in blood and asked you to come over."
"I don't know why, but I always feel that if anyone can save me, it's you..."
Wang Longqi said finally.
Li Chu did not comment.
Wang Longqi may think too highly of himself.
To be able to reach the state of decline is to be a powerful being that truly looks down upon the world.
A disaster that even these people can't solve, can you handle it yourself?
But he did not say anything to attack Wang Longqi. Instead, he asked doubtfully, "Will the academy allow you to spread this information?"
"Ha." Wang Longqi laughed sarcastically again: "These scholars are so smart. Decades ago, someone figured out that truth will come to light."
"From that time on, instead of suppressing it, they deliberately spread the supernatural legends of Zhengqi Academy. They also turned all those who committed suicide in the academy due to excessive pressure or failure in the imperial examinations into ghost stories."
"Over time, many people have heard of the ghost stories in Zhengqi Academy, but they only treat them as jokes. If you tell them seriously, no one will believe you."
"Anyway, a few people die in academies every year. Who would notice?"
"Most of the time, the dead themselves died in confusion. I'm afraid there are not many people like me who know the truth."
Li Chu listened and felt that this method was similar to that of some modern water armies.
Although he didn't show it on his face, his heart was in turmoil at this moment.
It’s not just because of Wang Longqi’s experience.
It’s also because of…my own thoughts.
Just now, when he heard about the situation faced by Zhengqi Academy, a solution to the problem emerged in his mind.
I just didn’t think about it any further.
Unexpectedly, this coincided with the response of Zhengqi Academy.
That’s right, that was exactly what he thought of the first moment.
Die in place of others.
In this regard, the college has already taken enough considerations into account.
Don’t choose a child from a poor family, because he may be the hope of several generations… Don’t choose an only child, so there will be no broken family… Don’t choose a rich and powerful family, so there will be no worry of strong retaliation…
Using an unlearned waste to exchange for a seed of learning, even if he is the last in the Zhengqi Academy, he may one day strive to become a pillar of the court in the future.
This seems to make sense...
but……
In the eyes of outsiders, Wang Longqi may indeed be a dandy boy, with no ability and not a good character. He is useless to his family and useless to the country.
But from my perspective, he is actually a good friend.
From Wang Longqi's perspective, this was an unexpected disaster.
This reminded him of a classic question that tests human nature.
There are four people on one track and one person on another track. A train is about to come and the four people will be crushed to death.
If you pull the gate, you can change the trajectory, let that one person die and four people live.
How to choose when neither of them has made any mistakes?
In his previous life, Li Chu had given the answer without hesitation.
Not selected.
Because whether it is one person or four people, even though it seems that the latter is more, they are all living lives.
As long as it involves other people's lives, he does not think he has the right to control them.
If you zoom in a little, you can change it to someone who kills one person to save a country...
But no matter how big the matter is, the essence is actually the same.
As long as it has nothing to do with you and has nothing to do with right or wrong... then just let things take their original course.
I don't have any power.
No matter how the choices are reversed, his answer is always no choice.
But I don’t know since when…
My personality seems to have changed a lot.
Becoming more and more... emotionless.
When the idea of dying in his place popped into his mind, his first reaction was fear.
Because this kind of cold thought of weighing the importance of life would never have appeared before.
If you think more deeply, it seems that it is more than just this kind of reverence for life.
And more generally, friendship... family... love...
These emotions, which are common to humans, have not touched me for a long time.
Although I used to be a bit indifferent, I would never be so numb.
Emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, fear, etc. are also appearing less and less frequently.
I used to be full of fear of the outside world, but gradually, this fear seemed to have not appeared for a long time.
On the one hand, my awareness of my own strength has improved, but on the other hand, there may be some strange things affecting me...
like……
He traced back his memories and realized that this subtle change probably started from the time he killed the water ghost... no, it was when he stepped into level 71.
Li Chu had a vague feeling that if he continued like this, he would most likely slide into an abyss.
ruthless……
…
After a long talk with Wang Longqi, Li Chu decided to check his luck first.
Close your eyes and open your mind.
boom--
The image of the entire Zhengqi Academy entered Li Chu's mind in the form of "Qi".
Everything I saw was very different from what it was outside.
The "Qi" in the human body is mainly composed of Yin and Yang Qi, wrapped in an extremely complex mixture. The Qi in it is so numerous that it is difficult to describe it in detail.
Everyone in the Zhengqi Academy has a particularly obvious white gas in their body, which is either strong or weak, and has a sharp aura.
This sharp energy is righteous energy.
It is a righteous spirit that has been passed down and grown from generation to generation since the founder of the academy.
In addition to the yin and yang energies of ordinary people, there is also a layer of faint, almost transparent aura, which may be thin or thick, and except for a few individuals, the difference is not too big.
This kind of energy is luck.
Qigong, as the outermost qi of the human body, wraps around the body like a cover.
People with strong luck tend to walk freely in the world, but they always get what they want. People with weak luck have to be cautious, but they are often hurt.
In fact, it’s just the thickness of this layer of cover that is different.
And every student of Zhengqi Academy is wrapped in golden luck!
This golden luck that was generated by someone was particularly dazzling and powerful. Some people's luck flames even illuminated half of the mountain wall.
I believe that there is a good chance that I will become the top scorer in the imperial examination next year.
Li Chu thought of Gongsun Zhe, who had also won the top prize in the imperial examination, but he did not have such strong luck, let alone changing his color.
Could this also be the bonus that Zhengqi Academy gives to its students?
As long as a person enters the Zhengqi Academy, he can obtain golden luck that is a hundred times stronger than the original one.
What's more, the person reflected in the mountain wall can almost reach one percent of the luck of the little koi, which is simply amazing!
That’s right…
The person with the strongest luck in the entire academy is actually the girl sitting next to Li Chu.
Her luck was like a vast colorful ocean, with endless colorful tides rolling and hovering steadily above her little head like a huge halo.
Just an ordinary colorful koi...
The person with the weakest luck in the entire academy is also around Li Chu.
It’s Wang Longqi on the opposite side.
There is no luck on him...
There isn't even a trace!
This is totally abnormal. You know, as long as a person is alive, there will be a circulation of qi with every breath.
There was nothing around him, as if... someone was constantly devouring his luck.
This is why the last one will die!
Everyone is wrapped in a shell of luck so that he can walk in the world.
But Wang Longqi’s condom was gone.
As we all know, this is a rather dangerous thing.
…
Li Chu slowly walked out of Zhengqi Academy.
After the conversation just now, Wang Longqi planned to arrange for them to stay in Zhengqi Academy for one night.
Li Chu was a little puzzled: "Can Zhengqi Academy be used as an inn?"
Wang Longqi smiled evilly: "Have you forgotten? Who dares not to listen to my words now?"
Seeing that he still had the heart to smile, Li Chu felt a little relieved.
Leaving the little Koi at home to clean the room, he came out alone.
I went there to get an umbrella and also wanted to relax quietly.
Although he was a little worried about Wang Longqi's matter, it was not that urgent.
It would take at least several months for luck to kill someone.
He plans to go back to the temple tomorrow to ask the master if there is any solution.
Although the powerful ones in the state of Zhan Sui are helpless, but Master... maybe he knows something?
It seemed to have become a habit. Whenever he encountered something he couldn't figure out, there would be a voice in his heart speaking.
Why not ask the magical old Taoist priest?
What really worried him was the discovery he had just made.
My feelings are slipping away...
This shocked him.
Does this mean that I might become someone else, or something else that is not even a human being?
And where does this loss come from...
He doesn't know either.
If it is related to the method of killing monsters and leveling up, then... why did you come so late?
The distance from Zhengqi Academy to Chuiliu Alley at Taiping Gate is not far.
He walked along, lost in thought, and gradually arrived.
There is indeed an old weeping willow at the entrance of the alley, its silk ribbons fluttering in the wind and already somewhat faded.
The moment Li Chu walked under the willow tree.
In a courtyard in an alley, a little girl in green clothes suddenly raised her head, her eyes shining brightly.
She turned around in a hurry and ran towards the house, shouting, "Miss, Miss! The little Taoist priest is here!"
There was a constant rustling sound in the house.
When I went inside, I saw that it was a mahjong table.
There are four different people sitting at the table, each with his or her own characteristics.
On the east side, there was an old man with a wrinkled face but clear eyes. He looked thin and skinny, but seemed quite energetic.
At first glance, he is the kind of old man who will live a long life.
To the south stood a burly man with a broad inverted triangle body. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, but he didn't look fierce. Instead, he looked a bit honest - perhaps because his expression at the moment was rather pitiful.
The most muscular man at the table had a pursed mouth and a tight nose, looking as if he had suffered a great injustice.
To the west stood a sickly young man, wearing a scholar's robe, a turban on his head, and with a pale face.
He was so thin that he seemed like a gust of wind could blow him away.
Every time he drew a card, he had to cough for a long time before he could play it.
To the north, there was a woman of stunning beauty. She was none other than Qin Shuangbai, whom Li Chu met on the boat.
But at this time, when Miss Qin and Li Chu met her...
The painting styles are very different.
She rolled up her sleeves, revealing half of her arms that were whiter than snow, and stared at the card game with a serious look.
He didn't care about his disheveled hair, just a hairpin tied up casually, looking carefree.
If anyone played their cards slowly, she would urge them from time to time: "Cough after you finish playing your cards."
"Don't look at it, Wan Zi is all here with me..."
"hey-hey……"
She was about to smile, as if she was going to make some progress, when she heard the little maid running in: "Miss! The little Taoist priest is here!"
"Ah! How come he's so fast?"
Qin Shuangbai was startled and quickly stood up, touched his hair, and straightened his sleeves.
"No." She called out, "Yuqing, come and help me with my makeup."
As if she had thought of something, she raised her hand again, pointed at the three people in front of her, and asked, "What am I to you?"
Old man: "Uncle!"
Strong man: "Cousin!"
Sick young man: "Second cousin!"
"Oh my God..." Qin Shuangbai stroked his forehead and slammed the table with his backhand.
"It's my niece!"
"Yes, yes, yes." The strong man nodded hurriedly, "It's my niece."
Qin Shuangbai glared at him: "It's your sister!"
The strong man looked even more aggrieved, as if he was about to cry: "Don't curse..."
The beautiful Qin Shuangbai rolled her eyes...
She waved her hand: "Yuqing, I'll go and do my makeup myself. You stay here and teach these three to me before you open the door."
"Okay, miss, don't worry." Yu Qing nodded heavily.
…
Bang, bang, bang.
"Chuiliu Lane, the second house on the right..." Li Chu murmured, a little puzzled.
I knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered.
That's right.
Is no one home?
He wondered and finally shouted.
"Is anyone there?"
3934 words, barely reaching 4,000... plus the chapter I wrote this morning, it's almost 8,000 words, so I think I've completed the task today...
I just saw a reader suggest that it would be better to have a unified time slot every day. I think that is indeed the case. Starting from tomorrow, I will set a time to post all chapters to save everyone from waiting.
I am indeed inexperienced in this area, but as long as you ask, I can do any position to make you feel comfortable...
