Chapter 107 Disciple, do you want to go to school?
The next morning.
Li Chu took the earliest boat back to Yuhang Town.
Helping the Qin family exorcise evil spirits was just a minor incident. No matter how noisy the little ghost in the Qin family was, it was nothing more than a kitchen cabinet ghost or something like that.
For ordinary practitioners of Taoism, a talisman can solve the problem.
Li Chu had no idea about the art of making talismans, so he had to go in person.
Actually, there are many Taoist temples in Hangzhou, and he really wants to learn some basic Taoist skills, such as making talismans, refining elixirs, and seals, etc.
But I already have a teacher, but I don’t know if he is willing to teach me.
This is all a story for later.
The most serious problem at present is Wang Longqi’s life.
There was no clue to the disappearance of luck, and a strange disaster that even the great masters of the realm of decline were helpless to deal with...
Apart from asking his master, Li Chu didn't know where to go to find the truth.
There was really no other way but to watch Wang Longqi die... Li Chu couldn't do it.
Then he had to close his eyes.
He came back early, and when he arrived at Shilipo, the fox girl came out to open the door.
Seeing Li Chu, she was very surprised: "Oh, Master, you are back?"
She looked back and wondered, "Where's Xiaoyue?"
Li Chu shook his head: "Things are not going well, Xiaoyue will stay there for the time being. I came back to ask Master something, and I will go back later."
The fox girl quickly moved out of the way.
In her eyes, Li Chu is a god-like figure.
It is hard to imagine how difficult things are that can make him feel uncomfortable.
She didn't even dare to ask.
Li Chu walked to the backyard and saw his master sitting under the old locust tree as he had done every day.
The autumn leaves are falling, the clothes are fluttering in the wind, and the demeanor of the master is soaring into the sky, as if he is about to ascend to heaven.
Li Chu felt inexplicably at ease.
In his heart, the master is a god-like figure.
If you feel that something is not going well, you can only ask the master...
When he saw Li Chu, Yu Qian'an laughed.
"Why didn't Xiaoyue come back with you? What happened? Is things not going well?"
"That's right." Li Chu came to the stone table, sat opposite his master, and said sternly: "If this matter cannot be resolved, Wang Longqi's life will be in danger."
"Alas, that's a pity." Yu Qian'an said calmly: "He is a very motivated young man."
Li Chu blinked.
This was the first time he heard someone praise Wang Longqi like this...
If it were someone else, they would definitely ask this question.
This enthusiasm you are talking about...is it serious?
However, Li Chu is not a person who likes to talk nonsense after all, and now is not the time to argue.
He said solemnly, "Since nearly a hundred years ago, the last place student in the entrance exam of the Righteous Academy would die due to the exhaustion of luck...bad luck. The Righteous Academy once asked a great master in the realm of Zhan Sui to take charge, but he was unable to do anything about it."
"This year...it's Wang Longqi's turn."
His words were concise and to the point. Wang Longqi spoke for a long time, but Li Chu only said a few words.
After listening to this, Yu Qian'an nodded in understanding.
He took a sip of tea and didn't seem to care too much.
After putting down the teacup, he said leisurely, "I'm afraid there's an evil spirit entangled in this curse."
Li Chu suddenly felt enlightened.
The master really knew about this.
A feeling of "you are worthy of being my master" arises spontaneously...
He asked, "The evil spirit curse...what is this?"
"It is a spell cast by an evil spirit. Through its telekinesis, it entangles tightly and is difficult to cut off."
Yu Qian'an seemed to be smiling.
"This thing is not easy to deal with. Xiao Wang was probably recruited as a scapegoat. I knew he was good at clock work, but how could he be good at going to school?"
Li Chu was not worried at all. From the tone of his master's voice, he knew that he probably had a plan.
So he asked, "Evil spirits...are they a kind of evil spirit?"
"You can say it's evil, after all, it's something that harms people. But it's not a monster, and strictly speaking, it wasn't even a living thing."
Yu Qian'an thought about it, organized his words, and said, "Spirit was originally a servant created by the witch god."
"The witch god is a god who has inherited the lineage of witchcraft. It uses this spirit to store and refine the luck offered by humans."
"Long before the ancient times, the witch god had disappeared from the human world."
"But the spirits it created remained. The number is unknown. What we know is that some of them later developed good thoughts and became good spirits. Some of them developed evil thoughts and became evil spirits."
"Because of their scarcity, there are not many of them in the world. Apart from a small number of evil heretics who worship evil spirits for cultivation, few people know of their existence."
"Evil spirits are almost immortal in the world. If they live long enough, they will inevitably become a disaster."
"They are targeting the Zhengqi Academy, so they must be eyeing their dynasty's luck. After all, of all the places that can carry the dynasty's luck, the academy is the easiest to bully."
"Luck..." Li Chu captured the key words.
"That's right, this thing can't practice on its own. Its main method of practice is still to refine Qi and luck."
"Is the evil spirit in Zhengqi Academy refining the students' luck?" Li Chu asked.
Yu Qian'an nodded and said, "Rather than refining, it's better to say it's stealing."
Li Chu was puzzled: "But... how exactly does it act? Even Zhan Sui can't figure it out. If it has such strength, why is it only targeting the last one?"
"Oh." Yu Qian'an sneered, "It's just a death sentence."
"What does he know?"
Li Chu's pupils twitched when he heard this.
The master is so domineering!
Then Yu Qian'an continued:
"The reason why the evil spirit chose Zhengqi Academy is probably because it is one of the four great academies in the world. Once students enter it, their luck will increase a hundredfold! Moreover, they will be blessed with the dynasty's luck, turning their own luck into gold."
"This is a great tonic for evil spirits."
"However, the Righteous Academy not only gives students golden luck, but also the inheritance of righteousness."
"The righteousness that has been passed down from generation to generation is like a sharp sword, mixed with luck. If it is absorbed together, it will be uncomfortable."
"Evil spirits are afraid of righteousness, which is fatal to them."
"That's why he doesn't dare to absorb a lot of them. He can only absorb one a year, and he has to pick the last one, the weakest one in the righteousness inheritance."
"Just like removing bones from a fish, carefully peel off the positive energy, then devour and refine it."
"Another important reason... things like luck follow a certain pattern."
“It is always the case that the less flows to the more.”
"For example, if I have a pool of luck, I can cast a spell to absorb your puddle. But if you have a sea of luck, then when I cast a spell, it will be absorbed by you."
"Because the evil spirit wanted to refine the luck and turn it into power, the luck it could keep outside was limited. So when he cast the spell, he didn't dare to set a high standard and only dared to choose the last one."
"After all, a spell is different from other spells. Once cast, even the spell itself cannot be erased."
"If it sets its goal a little too high and encounters a lucky genius, it will be dumbfounded."
"I think it's these conditions combined that have led to the current situation."
"It is not unbearable for the academy to have a scapegoat die every year. The evil spirit can steal the dynasty's fortune over a long period of time. In another three to five hundred years, it may become an evil god."
Li Chu looked at Yu Qian'an's relaxed face and his confident talkative look and guessed that his master already had an idea.
So he asked directly: "Master, you already have a plan in mind, how can you save Wang Longqi?"
“Haha.” Yu Qian’an smiled and did not answer directly. Instead, he called him, “Disciple…”
"Um?"
"Do you want to go to school?"
