Chapter 004 Student
A raven flew across the broken walls and corpses, its wings spread, its sharp scarlet eyes unblinking, a bit of rotten flesh oozing out from its beak.
“——!”
I woke up with a start, but I didn't dare to open my eyes, I didn't dare to move, but my breathing was uncontrollably irregular. I waited for a long time but saw no one coming, then I opened my eyes and carefully looked around.
He was now in a woodshed. The strong smell of sawdust from the firewood was enough to relax his tense nerves.
He actually survived. If he was not in an unknown place at the moment, he would surely dance to celebrate.
Suddenly, Congxin's face changed. He searched all over his body but couldn't find the tool he had just made. He had lost both the wife and the army! He was secretly annoyed and got up quickly. The window of the woodshed was still paper-pasted. Congxin swallowed his saliva involuntarily. He stared at it, and a dark tentacle rushed towards him. Congxin broke out in a cold sweat and suddenly turned his head to avoid it. But when he looked again, he found that the paper window was still a paper window and had not been pierced.
"Squeak——" the door was pushed open.
He turned his head away and widened his eyes.
A scholar wearing a black robe and a Confucian hat is walking in slowly. The robe is embroidered with silver bamboo-shaped patterns. The scholar's facial features are gorgeous and decadent, and every part of them is exquisite and three-dimensional, as if they were carved out by someone. His deep and misty eyes, two teardrop moles under his eyes, high nose, and rosy lips are all just right, reminding people of any beautiful things, such as the ever-blooming peony and the water lotus standing gracefully in the sunny day.
His eyes were slightly narrowed and his lips were raised, which added a bit of lazy and noble temperament to him. The scholar was like a fascinating vortex, exuding a demonic and inhuman beauty that made people unable to help but stare at him.
There was a sudden buzzing sound from the brain in my heart, as if it had crashed.
Cong Xin had never seen such beauty since he was a child. He was mesmerized at first sight. There was only one thought in his mind: look at him!
"Bang--" a bag of things was thrown on the ground by the scholar.
I suddenly woke up and forced myself to look away.
The mouth of the cloth bag loosened, and a rusty iron object in the shape of a silver hook rolled out of it. A dark light flashed by, and black blood spots dotted its body. The smell of decay was spreading.
I can instantly recognize from my heart that these are my own tools.
He was unable to learn the mantra and the tools he needed to cast the spell were also taken away. His luck had really run out.
The scholar smiled and said, "This bag of torture instruments is yours, right? How can a little Taoist like you carry such things?"
Cong Xin opened and closed his lips several times, but couldn't come up with an answer for a moment, so he could only stammer, "Defense, self-defense."
The scholar said in a soft voice, "Don't be afraid. I'm not trying to blame you. If you are willing to listen to my lectures and want to strive to improve yourself, I, as a teacher, welcome you very much. If you are willing, you can stay in the school. I don't care about the tuition fees."
Cong Xin was stunned, pursed his lips, and asked tentatively: "I am a Taoist priest who worships gods and burns incense. Can I also enter your school?"
The scholar was used to being a teacher, so he said, "My idea is 'education for all', and the so-called 'education for all' means that education is equal to everyone, regardless of status. Although you are a Taoist, you have a heart for learning, so how can I not be moved by that? Do you understand what I am saying?"
Cong Xin nodded hesitantly and said stutteringly, "Understood, understood."
The scholar paused, feeling a sudden small increase in his power. It was naturally his talent that took effect. He couldn't help but look at the short piece of color with a new perspective, feeling pity for him. He felt that this was his destined disciple. His surging emotions prompted him to take a few steps forward, patted the little Taoist's rough and narrow head, and said softly, "Good boy."
Cong Xin was silent for a moment, gazing at the scholar's tender face with a complicated expression.
He said, "Benefactor, the trail is here."
The scholar paused while stroking the upright firewood beside him. His expression remained unchanged, and with a sympathetic smile on his face, he went in search of the voice, and finally stroked the right head with his hand: "Good boy."
What a joke! As long as he isn’t embarrassed, the embarrassment won’t disappear, it will only shift!
The young Taoist priest asked awkwardly, "My benefactor, what's wrong with your eyes?"
The scholar replied calmly, "I was born with myopia, and the degree is very severe, which means that I can't see objects in the distance, and I can't distinguish people in the distance. I have to look closely to see clearly."
"Myopia?" Congxin repeated in a low voice. He looked up and saw the scholar's rosy face glowing with tenderness. The little Taoist felt a pang in his heart just by looking at him. He also asked him to go to school and learn a great knowledge. This was not something that someone like him could learn.
Congxin grew up reading people's expressions and eating at many people's houses. He was able to discern the scholar's true intentions. The scholar really wanted to take him in as a student! Unfortunately, he is now... How great would it be if he could meet this scholar when he was a beggar wandering around?
If you think in this way, then the fact that he is alive and well now, with his brain not sucked away by ghosts, nor his limbs torn apart by ghosts, and his whole body intact, can only be attributed to the great fortune of the nearsighted scholar in front of him, who saved his life!
With so many demons and monsters everywhere, what did the scholar do to save him? Ghosts can never be trusted! How could they become students of their benefactor?
The benefactor's ghost student must have a bigger plan!
Cong Xin eagerly went up to him and held the scholar's hands: "My benefactor! Do you know that the students you teach are all——"
"My students?" The scholar knew clearly that each of them was carefully selected by him, the best illiterate seeds! He was quite proud of himself. He had been in the industry for many years. Although his purpose was not pure, he did teach everyone and helped countless students get rid of the monotonous life!
The hand that Congxin was holding on to him suddenly began to tremble violently.
The scholar couldn't help but wonder, why is this kid so excited to be his student?
As he was thinking, the scholar suddenly smelled his mother's scent, which had the aroma of dried fruit peel. He had been with his mother for many years, and his mother had witnessed every stage of his life. He wanted to show off to his mother, as if to show off that his teaching career had reached a new level.
His previous students were found by his mother, or recommended by those who came to study there after they left. It was unusual that someone came to him on his own initiative this time, as it happened to be when he was seeing off a student who had already graduated. It must have been a blessing from heaven.
The scholar turned his head and saw the familiar black block, which made him feel at ease. He stepped forward, held his mother's slender furry forelegs, and said with a smile, "Why are you here, Mom? I'm accepting a new student. This student came here because of my reputation. Although he doesn't have a tuition fee, he has a heart that wants to learn!"
My mother has always supported me. She reached out and touched my head affectionately, which was both her agreement and praise.
Just at this moment.
"This, this is..." The little Taoist's voice trembled, and he seemed to be walking on clouds, as if in a dream.
The scholar took the mother's hand and introduced her, "This is my mother who raised me. Don't be afraid of her. She is just a little bigger in size, but she has a soft heart. She won't eat people."
"Yes, is that so?" Congxin responded dryly.
"Of course, my first student is my mother. She is my favorite student! Don't be fooled by her huge size. Just look at her soft fur and you will know that she is the warmest!" The scholar said with emotion: "It is all thanks to my mother's strong support that I can develop my own school and teach so many students with excellent character! This great maternal love is really touching, don't you think?"
"I dare not move, I dare not move." Congxin was talking nonsense, but suddenly realized and quickly changed his words: "I am moved, so moved! I have never been so moved since I was born!"
He looked over with fear.
The monster was bloated and huge, with a body as black as ink, and its wet tentacles dragged behind it like ribbons and fluttered in the air. It stood up like a human, with its limbs leaning forward. Facing the scholar's tender face was a face with extremely distorted features, with the nose and eyes reversed and forcibly twisted together. There were even unused facial features on the surging tentacles, blinking eyes, a high nose bridge, and grinning lips.
My heart and head were buzzing, blood was oozing out of my mouth, eyes and nose. I closed my eyes in pain and dared not look straight ahead.
My benefactor! You are really just shortsighted, aren't you blind? Who would recognize this thing as their mother?
He could not help but feel a strong urgency in his heart. This strange creature must not be raising humans out of love. His innocent benefactor must have been deceived. He must take action! He must repay his benefactor! He must save his benefactor! He was the only benefactor!
The scholar returned to the previous question with a smile: "You just said, what happened to my professor's student?"
As the scholar spoke, the creature's facial features moving on its tentacles were all aimed at Cong Xin. A terrifying and horrifying Yin energy rose from the ground, and Cong Xin shuddered.
The young Taoist apologized, forced a flattering smile, and raised his thumb tremblingly: "That's definitely it! People in the surrounding area say that your students are the gods of literature who have descended to the mortal world! There is simply no one kinder and gentler than your students!"
The scholar raised his eyebrows. His ability was enhanced again, which made him curious. What did this little Taoist just learn? Didn't he teach anything?
***
[18 years old: The poor little Taoist priest decided to join your school after your sweet words. You were so happy that you couldn’t contain yourself. Yesterday, you just sent off a disciple who had completed his studies. You were still sad. It is not easy to find a good teacher. Moreover, when teaching students to a certain level, it is difficult to improve the students’ level even if you put in a lot of effort.
Moreover, the location of your school is not good. There are always people who are afraid of the wild beasts in the forest and are unwilling to study in the school. The source of students is always a problem. When one student leaves, you don’t know how long it will take for the next student to arrive. Before now, who would have thought that you would happen to run into a good seed who came to your door. You are overjoyed. Your face is so beautiful even when you are melancholy, not to mention when you are radiant, you are even more beautiful!
You personally went to persuade this good husband... ahem, the innate student holy body was enrolled, the little Taoist priest was very simple, but he was also quite concerned about the animal students in the school. You couldn't help but feel helpless, what's wrong with animals? Animals can run and shout, why can't they be students! Fortunately, your mother helped you, your mother always helps you, hehe! The deterrence theory started!
I came to your territory, caught your eye, and offended the king of the forest. A mere Taoist priest wants to run away? Here you go!
Oh! Your proud face is so beautiful! The morality has been reduced, and the ** value has been greatly increased! 】
Wu You's eyes widened, feeling greatly offended: "What a smug villain! This is a strategy from my other self! This is a mastermind! This is wisdom! If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense!"
He cursed and said something weird like "Tao Li Plan" and "This is necessary for the plan".
The simulation continues.
