Chapter 111 How about... I come [Make up for the noon break]
After Li Chu returned to the academy, he remained silent all night.
The next morning, the president of the academy, the great scholar, actually came to him in person.
"Someone wants to see you."
The headmaster looked at Li Chu and smiled.
Li Chu was a little curious. Who else in this academy was qualified to ask the headmaster to run errands for him?
The headmaster took him all the way up the Ancient Sophora Mountain.
Near the top of the mountain, there is a "Huai Garden".
This is the place where the first headmaster met Huai Zu. Legend has it that this is also where Huai Zu's real body is.
However, this is a forbidden area in the academy, with restrictions set by Huai Zu in the past. Not only does it block intruders, but even people's sight can only see a misty fog.
Except for the former presidents of the academy, no one else is allowed to enter.
Therefore, no one has ever seen Huai Zu's true form.
Seeing the headmaster walking straight ahead, Li Chu lagged behind slightly and asked, "Can I come in?"
The headmaster turned around and looked at him, smiling faintly: "Of course you can, the person who wants to see you is inside."
The interior of the mysterious Huai Garden is nothing more than an empty hillside.
In the middle of the hillside, there is a tall ancient locust tree.
This is probably the most famous locust tree in the world, but it's not that surprising. It has lush branches and leaves and a strong root system, that's all.
In Li Chu's opinion, it was similar to the old locust tree in Deyun Temple.
Under the locust tree, an old man in a green Confucian robe was sitting cross-legged. He had a gray face and hair and a gentle gaze.
Li Chu saw him and nodded slightly to him.
It was just a simple greeting to the elder, but this time, the other two old men were stunned.
In the headmaster's sight, Li Chu was saluting the air.
The old man in green was slightly startled and asked in surprise: "Can you see me?"
"Um?"
Li Chu also felt a little strange when he heard this...
You are such a living person, who can't see it?
The old man seemed to understand what Li Chu meant, but...
I haven't shown up yet...
He simply didn't explain, but stood up, flicking his sleeves, and his clothes fluttered twice without wind.
The headmaster then saw him and bowed, "Mr. Huai, this...young Taoist priest has been brought here."
"Thank you for your trouble." The old man called Mr. Huai nodded.
The headmaster tactfully said goodbye.
Only Li Chu and Mr. Huai were left in Huai Garden.
Hearing the headmaster addressing him, Li Chu couldn't help but wonder, could he be the Huai Zu who was rumored to have awakened the first headmaster?
So Li Chu closed his eyes slightly and observed the old man with his mind's eye technique.
He found the old man's "Qi" very strange.
Unlike humans or monsters, there are tens of millions of complex qi groups mixed together in their bodies.
There was only a faint aura about this old man.
Although this energy is weak, it is pure and makes Li Chu feel somewhat familiar.
It seems... not much different from the spiritual power in his body.
Maybe it's the same power from different sources.
Li Chu's heart was slightly stirred. After being in this world for so long, was he finally going to meet the second person with spiritual power?
Mr. Huai naturally had no idea what he was thinking, he just thought that Li Chu was curious about him.
"Haha, I've lived for so long, but you're still the first one who can see me when I'm not visible." He laughed.
"Show yourself?" Li Chu asked, "Are you Senior Huaizu?"
Mr. Huai laughed again and said, "Yes, but no."
The Riddler...
Li Chu didn't pay much attention to this behavior.
Instead, he asked directly: "Then why did you come to me specially?"
Mr. Huai then stopped smiling and said seriously, "I just want to remind you that you are in danger."
"I'm dangerous?"
"Yes." Mr. Huai said, "I have to thank you for bearing the evil spirit's curse for the academy, but... this is not a good thing for you."
"I know, I'm just trying to help my friend." Li Chu nodded.
"In fact... although the existence of evil spirits is secretive, it is not unknown."
Mr. Huai said: "The strong man who was in the state of decline back then also discovered the reason behind it."
"oh?"
This was the first time Li Chu heard of it.
"But he didn't want to offend an evil spirit who had experienced countless years and was proficient in mysterious witchcraft for the sake of the academy. He was about to face a catastrophe, and he was afraid that this incident would add variables to his own catastrophe."
Li Chu frowned.
So that's how it is. I thought it wasn't worth it, so I didn't do it.
This shows... that evil spirit is very powerful.
At least it is an existence that can cause trouble to the powerful.
"I'm sure you can guess that the evil spirit is very scary. I can't protect you."
Mr. Huai looked slightly ashamed.
"I can only remind you..."
At this moment, an evil voice suddenly floated over Huaiyuan.
"Hahahaha! It's too late! I'm already here!"
A black shadow descended from the sky, accompanied by stinging evil winds.
Mr. Huai's face changed drastically. He was the one guarding the restriction in Huai Garden, but the enemy broke in without any effort!
Li Chu's heart also trembled, and he and Mr. Huai looked at the person who came.
The man was wearing a pitch-black robe with his entire face covered by a hood, and thick shadows obscured everything.
His hands were hidden in his sleeves, with not an inch of skin exposed.
But Li Chu seemed to have a mysterious connection with it. The first time he saw it, a voice sounded in his heart.
"Evil spirit."
"So it's you who is devouring my luck." The other party also said in a gloomy tone.
Although the tone was calm, it was full of murderous intent.
Li Chu couldn't help but observe it with his mind.
I found out that the other party didn’t have the so-called “Qi”!
It is indeed not a living thing, but it has its own spirit, which is really strange.
At this time, Mr. Huai stood in front of Li Chu and looked at the evil spirit in front of him with a serious look.
"My friend, get out of here!"
"Haha, do you think you can stop me?" The evil spirit snorted coldly.
Mr. Huai shouted back, "How dare you act wildly in Zhengqi Academy?"
The evil spirit sneered: "I know you humans too well. You are all people who are focused on your own interests and fame. If I want to destroy this academy, many powerful people will stop me. But if I just kill a little student, who do you think will care about me?"
"To put it bluntly, they only care about the dynasty spirit inherited by this academy. As for the lives of the people in the academy, they are like ants in their eyes."
"What is so-called righteousness? It's just a matter of weighing the pros and cons."
"If you really care about human lives...you should have disbanded this academy long ago..."
Mr. Huai was speechless for a moment after hearing what he said.
He looked at Li Chu and said grimly.
"I just stole a small part of it. No one else cares. Why do you have to make trouble for me?"
"You brought this upon yourself..."
The evil spirit was indeed very angry, and using this witchcraft spell to steal the fortune of the academy was its signature method.
It neither touched the bottom line of those dynasties and immortal sects, nor did it strengthen itself. In this way, in another two hundred years, it would have the confidence to achieve the right result and become an evil god.
Then it can do whatever it wants.
But who would have thought that such a character would suddenly appear out of nowhere and try to suck back the luck that it had stolen for many years!
This move is tantamount to black eating black.
No rules of underworld at all!
Any later and its power will diminish.
Therefore, it came here from nine thousand miles away and hurried to Zhengqi Academy.
Just to find the person who is causing trouble for me.
Let him die in the most painful curse in the world!
…
At this time, Mr. Huai shouted, "How dare you!"
The old man took action solemnly!
The Confucian robe he was wearing fluttered in the wind, bringing up a gust of fresh breeze that dispelled the evil winds around him.
Then he raised his right arm and pointed at the evil spirit in front of him.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh——
Suddenly, countless leaves flew out from the locust tree behind him, flying away in the wind, like thousands of sharp blades!
A blow that makes light work of heavy objects and yet is powerful enough.
Faced with these locust leaf flying knives, the evil spirit remained motionless and allowed them to shoot towards him.
When the locust leaves reached it, they seemed to be blocked by something and suddenly slid away, brushing past it.
But it’s not over yet.
After all the locust leaves passed by, they did not fall to the ground, but continued to dance in the wind, gathering into the shape of a dragon.
Qinglong!
The giant dragon has a nimble body and opens its mouth to swallow the evil spirit!
"whispering sound."
The evil spirit suddenly sneered.
"I'm also worried that Huai Zu, as one of the great ancestral monsters in the world, might have left something powerful for the Righteousness Academy."
"It turns out that there is only a clone formed by a weak immortal energy."
“Too weak.”
The sky and the earth changed color, the wind and clouds roared, and it was about to be swallowed by the dragon when it suddenly uttered these words.
Too weak.
Immediately, it raised its hand, not pointing at Mr. Huai, but at the ancient locust tree over there.
Under this finger.
The ancient locust tree, which had existed for who knows how many years and had always been regarded as a belief by the people in the academy, suddenly...
Withered.
The branches and leaves turn yellow and fall off, the trunk decays and falls apart, the root system is broken and blocked...
It seemed as if thousands of years had passed in an instant...
"puff--"
Mr. Huai suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
The green dragon that fell from the sky shattered with a loud bang and turned into dead leaves that flew like ashes all over the sky.
Li Chu was startled and went forward to support him. He felt that the old man, who was energetic just now, had suddenly aged by dozens of years, as if a mummy had been resurrected.
The power of witchcraft is so terrifying.
"Young man, hurry up and leave. Don't worry about me! I still have one last magical power to use, and I can definitely hold it back!" Mr. Huai said angrily.
Li Chu was silent.
He didn't know what Mr. Huai was going to do, but looking at the old man's expression, he could probably guess.
That must be a magical power similar to mutual destruction.
The old man's gaze was firm, like a torch, and very moving.
Facing a powerful enemy who was not at the same level as him, he spoke in a resounding voice:
"I have protected this Righteous Academy for more than 800 years. If it ends today, it is my fate. I am just a spirit, born only to protect the righteousness here. I am powerless to solve the disaster of the past century, and I am always heartbroken..."
"I would rather die today than let you understand!"
"In the world, there is..."
"senior!"
Li Chu quickly pressed his shoulders hard.
It's like pressing the pause button...
According to the normal plot, after saying these lines, he should commit suicide by sacrificing himself in some way.
Li Chu had no choice but to interrupt his passionate speech and then said something softly.
"How about...I'll do it."

ps: I found out in the writer’s words or comments that some friends may miss it.
Finally, let’s adjust the update time to 12 noon and 8 pm, twice a day.
I will try my best to update a large chapter with more than 3,000 words, so that the number of words will be the same as the three chapters with more than 2,000 words.
But for me, one less update means a lot less revisions...
You can't write an invincible story too quickly, as you have to consider many things. It's often too late when you realize the plot is about to collapse.
My health has been really bad these past two days, and the content has received several negative reviews, so I'll leave it like this for now.
After you have manuscripts in reserve, you will have the outstanding chapters and occasional additional chapters.
I admit that I was too weak.
