Chapter 199 Monster Invasion!
"Soul...is it a ghost?"
Xu Dong lay on the fence and trembled, "Squad Leader, does such a thing really exist..."
Although Ji Ruo was the president, Liang Shixian had spent more time with them - after all, Ji Ruo graduated so quickly, and Xu Dong and the others would discuss anything with Liang Shixian.
"How is that possible? That's all feudal superstition." Liang Shixian was also listening, but his focus was clearly wrong.
He stared at Gu Shaoxuan closely, and was writing something down in his notebook with a pen in hand.
"This guy's class is really good. It's very engaging and makes people feel like they are actually there... How does he do that?"
Liang Shixian scratched his head, recalling and writing down his thoughts.
"He first used concrete objects as examples to raise questions... Then he used his identity and the children's prejudices... And then there's the voice. His voice doesn't seem to have any special features, but it seems to have life, as if it will actively drill into people's ears - is it some kind of sonic martial arts?"
As he analyzed the records, he murmured, "Great!"
Luo Xi, who was squatting on Ji Ruo's shoulder, looked at him in confusion. She seemed to be puzzled. Why did Liang Shixian imitate her speech for no apparent reason? He didn't even imitate her...
Although Ji Ruo listened very carefully, he did not react as much as the others. He just thought that what Gu Shaoxuan said was very interesting.
Putting aside the faint atmosphere of horror that Gu Shaoxuan deliberately created, this guy is a big believer in the "immortality of the soul" theory.
Everything he said revolved around the "immortality of the soul".
He believes that the ancients could not accept the death of a relative or someone else, so they fantasized that the dead could live like the living after death. Based on this theory, they built a complete afterlife for the dead.
Huangquan Road, Wangchuan River, Hades, Nether City...
Gu Shaoxuan told the children one bizarre story after another. Although the children still felt scared, they could not help but be attracted by the world described by Gu Shaoxuan.
Gu Shaoxuan smiled and said, “Over the years, I have traveled to many places and explored many ancient sites.
In the beginning, the 'souls' were free, going wherever they wanted, watching whatever they wanted, listening to whatever they wanted... Maybe now, there are some 'souls' in the classroom accompanying students to class.
They can see all the classmates and may express their opinions about a particular classmate. Because we living people cannot see the 'soul', they can communicate and discuss with us without restraint. "
The children were horrified.
Niu Li couldn't help but ask, "Do they also watch us when we go to the toilet?"
"Who knows? Maybe they can see it. Ghosts don't care what living people are doing at any time. They can see whatever they want. It's useless to close the door. They can pass through the wall. And we living people can't find them."
Now, not to mention the children, even the people in the Spicy and Spicy Group felt a chill.
Gu Shaoxuan smiled and said, "It seems that the students don't like the souls peeping at them. Well, the ancients didn't like it either.
So later, souls were no longer free. They usually lived in a place called the Netherworld, which was exactly the same as the world of the living. They had everything they needed for life. The souls lived a normal life in the Netherworld and could only return to the human world to visit their relatives during festivals.
They can only come back a few times a year to see how we, the living, are doing. So in order to make the deceased feel at ease, we will prepare a table of delicious food when they come back. This is ancestor worship."
The children and the people who were listening outside the fence breathed a sigh of relief - no one knew what kind of martial arts Gu Shaoxuan used, but his voice seemed to have life, and even changed with the context. Every time he spoke about the soul, Gu Shaoxuan's voice became distant and near, as if he was a ghost, so even though everyone was under the scorching sun, they still felt fully involved.
But Ji Ruo was a little confused. Why did this guy look at him after just a few words?
The class was not very long, and when Gu Shaoxuan announced the end of the class, the children still felt a little unfulfilled.
"Teacher..." Erya suddenly asked timidly, "Can the dead really come back?"
"Of course." Gu Shaoxuan said firmly, "I firmly believe this."
“Can they come back to life?”
Gu Shaoxuan looked at Erya and said, "Student Erya, has someone important passed away?"
"It's my grandma. She loves me very much... Teacher, how can I bring my grandma back to life?"
"Through reincarnation," Gu Shaoxuan said with a smile, "But this is what I'm going to talk about in class tomorrow, so let's stop here for today, haha."
Arya asked: "What is reincarnation?"
Gu Shaoxuan thought about it and took out the withered flower he had brought.
As Qi and blood circulated, the light in the classroom flickered and the children's eyes widened.
The withered flower actually came back to life in Gu Shaoxuan's hands!
Ji Ruo and the others were shocked. The will of martial arts affects reality. Is this... a method used by the peak of Xingxuan Realm? !
No, that's not right.
It is probably difficult to bring life back to dead things with just martial arts willpower.
"Martial arts supernatural powers..." Ji Ruo murmured.
Gu Shaoxuan handed the flowers to Erya and said with a smile: "This is reincarnation."
Erya took the flower in a daze. It had a faint fragrance with a slight fishy smell. Erya had never seen such a flower before.
"What kind of flower is this?"
"Higanbana, the flower of death that blooms on the banks of the Forgotten River, is it pretty?"
"nice."
"Right, so, death is not a terrible thing. The dead can continue to live in the afterlife, and can also be reborn as a human being through reincarnation. They are just leaving temporarily.
This is the ancient people’s fantasy about death, and it is also the death culture that has been passed down in Daxia to this day.”
After saying that, Gu Shaoxuan looked at Ji Ruo and said with a smile: "To me, death is as romantic as a fairy tale."
…
"Well, did I do well?"
Gu Shaoxuan found Ji Ruo with a smile and asked, "Do you have anything to say?"
Before Ji Ruo could say anything, Liang Shixian grabbed Gu Shaoxuan and said excitedly: "Well said, very well said! Teacher Gu, can I ask you some questions about how to control the learning atmosphere in the classroom, and..."
Gu Shaoxuan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly yawned.
"Hmm, I just remembered that I didn't sleep last night. I'm suddenly very sleepy. I'm going to go back to sleep first."
Liang Shixian: “?”
You didn't sleep last night, and you just remembered it now?
However, Liang Shixian could also see that the other party did not seem to want to communicate with him, so he said regretfully: "Well, Master Gu, take care."
"Well, bye."
Gu Shaoxuan did not answer Liang Shixian's question, as if he did not want to communicate with anyone other than Ji Ruo.
Putting the black coffin on his back again, Gu Shaoxuan turned around and left.
When his back was facing away from everyone, Gu Shaoxuan's lips moved slightly, and Ji Ruo's voice suddenly rang in his ears.
"I know you have something to ask me, yes, that's what you think.
But now is not the time to talk. I will wait for you at the reservoir outside the village at midnight tonight."
Ji Ruo: “?”
Secret voice transmission?
Also, what do I want to ask you?
Ji Ruo felt confused.
He glanced at Liang Shixian who seemed a little disappointed, curled his lips and thought, who wants to keep seeing you?
In view of Gu Shaoxuan's attitude towards Liang Shixian, Ji Ruo decided -
"Squad leader, he's so arrogant, don't be sad, let's not play with him and isolate him!"
Liang Shixian: “???”
God, don't play with him, isolate him...
Liang Shixian sighed: "Ji Ruo, when will you be more mature..."
Ji Ruo thought about it seriously and said, "We'll wait until the time comes."
“…”
…
Gu Shaoxuan finished his class and it was only 2:50 in the afternoon.
Next, it is the last class of the day - Ji Ruoshang's Physical Education.
"Niuli, where are we going today?"
Niu Li was a little confused: "Teacher Ji, you ask me?"
"Yes, you are familiar with this area. If not you, who else should I ask?"
"Then, let's go to the reservoir to play in the water?" Niu Li asked tentatively.
"We went there yesterday." Ji Ruo smacked his lips and said, "Let's try something else today."
"That's true."
Two 'children', one big and one small, squatted behind the desk, thinking hard.
Everyone in the Spicy Spicy Group: "..."
Is this how physical education classes are taught?
Egg Fried Rice couldn't help but say, "President, if you really can't think of anything, how about you switch classes with me? I'll teach you some math..."
The children wailed.
Ji Ruo raised his eyebrows: "I'm not sick, why should I change?"
Egg Fried Rice didn't react for a moment, and said blankly: "Why can't I change it if I'm not sick?"
"When the math teacher wants to take over the PE teacher's class, doesn't he always say, 'The PE teacher is sick today, so let's have math this time'?"
"Ah... that's not what I meant."
Ji Ruo said with deep sorrow: "We want our children to develop in all aspects, morally, intellectually, physically, aesthetically and labor-wise. How can we just focus on academic subjects?"
"But……"
He wants to say that your physical education class is just about taking the children to play, and you even ask the children's opinions on what to play. What does this have to do with 'morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor'?
But before he could finish his words, a series of shrill cries suddenly came from above his head.
Everyone ran out of the classroom and looked up.
Countless blood-red devil birds were circling over Babao Village, each of them had a scarlet glow in their eyes and was filled with murderous intent.
Liang Shixian frowned and said, "Oh no! I guess the defending warriors killed too hard, causing these monsters to fight back!"
The magic birds circled for a while, then suddenly swooped down, screaming in succession.
The children were terrified, and the adults in the village couldn't help but feel frightened.
There are so many monsters. If we let them break into the village...
"Buzz~"
A strange buzzing sound was heard, and five brilliant golden lights shot up into the sky, condensing into a translucent golden barrier above Babao Village.
That is the power of the icon!
Bang, bang, bang, bang…
There were continuous crashing sounds, the ground was shaking, and a large number of magic birds fell down like dumplings.
The holy statue barrier seemed to have a strong recoil force, and the fallen magic bird broke its bones and tendons and could not get up again.
The fact that they could trigger such a strong recoil from the statue was enough to prove that these evil birds had eaten human flesh!
The villagers came to their senses and became angry. They took out various farm tools from their homes, came to the edge of the barrier, and dragged the seriously injured but not dead magic birds into the barrier one by one, roaring and besieging them to death.
The fact that these magic birds could come here means that the farmland around Babao Village has been damaged. I'm afraid those villagers who went out to work...
"Let's help too!" Xu Dong shouted, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to rush over to help.
But Liang Shixian stopped him and frowned, saying, "Student 'Stir-fried Pork with Green Peppers', what we need to do most now is to keep an eye on the children and prevent them from running around.
Let's wait until the children are stable before going to help. Those red devil birds are only about one star strong, and the holy image barrier can stop them."
"That's... okay."
After a while, all the children squatted around the statue - this was the safest place in Babaozhai.
They are children, the key protection targets of icons.
At the critical moment, the children were very obedient. Although they were afraid, they still chose to follow the arrangements.
"Okay, leave a few people here to look after the children, and the rest of you come with me to help."
Liang Shixian quickly arranged the personnel. Compared with Ji Ruolai, he was more familiar with the abilities of the club members.
The members who were chosen to help were very excited, while those who were not chosen were a little disappointed, but did not say anything.
At this moment, the golden light emanating from the statues suddenly became brighter, and five huge phantoms condensed in the sky above Babao Village. They were the embodiment of the martial arts will of the statues. 'Defending the country' and 'protecting the people of Daxia' were the obsessions that each statue condensed into golden clothes, transcending life and death!
“Get lost!!”
Five phantoms roared at the demon birds: "If you offend Daxia, you will be punished no matter how far away you are!"
Liang Shixian and the others were overwhelmed with emotion when they saw this, and said excitedly: "Let's go! We can't let the statue take care of everything!"
"good!"
However, before they left the protection of the statue, they saw the magic birds paused slightly at the statue's roar, and then quickly fled.
"Wait, why did these monsters run away?!"
Looking at the magic birds fleeing at a high speed, Liang Shixian was also stunned.
These monsters came here to die and then ran away?
What's the point?
It is true that low-level monsters have low IQs, but they are not that...
"Squad leader! They are back again!"
Qu Fei exclaimed.
Those evil birds had just left not long ago, but they came back again!
Not only that, they were all holding onto irregularly shaped clumps of... translucent gel?
"What are they holding?!"
“Swoosh~”
As he was speaking, a magic bird suddenly loosened its claws, and the translucent gel in its claws fell from the sky - the statue did not react!
The protection range of the holy statue is limited. In essence, it is a warrior who has long been dead, so naturally it will not be very intelligent.
Beyond a certain range, the icon will not be effective. If you have not killed humans, the icon will not be effective either...
"Bang!"
There was a loud explosion, and a house was blown into ruins on the spot. Liang Shixian's eyes were red with anger: "Damn it! They actually dropped a special slime! Go back to defend! Go back to defend!"
"Ji Ruo, you're fast, please go and help hold them off... Wait a minute! Where's Ji Ruo?!"
The shaking of the earth became stronger and stronger. Niu Li trembled: "Teacher Ji, Teacher Ji just ran away..."
"Escape? Impossible!"
