Chapter 49: Bugs Hiding in the Dark

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 Before the letter was sent to the bank of Nanhu by Song Lian, in fact, a news had already spread on the bank of Nanhu. The news was so big that it instantly shook the whole city.

It was like someone had thrown a huge stone into the South Lake, and the water splash was no less than a heavy rain in the capital city of God.

There is an academy on the bank of Nanhu Lake. Since it is an academy, it also has a dean.

The academy has existed for thousands of years, and the dean of each generation is naturally an extremely remarkable person.

As early as when he took office, this dean made it clear that he would imitate the saint's story and accept seventy-two disciples. Therefore, in those years, occasionally some academy students were valued by the dean and were accepted as his disciples. However, as time went by, the dean accepted more disciples.

The intervals are getting longer and longer, because there are fewer and fewer places left, and the dean's requirements are naturally getting higher and higher.

Until thirty years ago, after the dean accepted the seventieth disciple, there was only the last place left.

In the past thirty years, every year when the academy enrolled students, the dean would conduct an inspection, but there was no one he liked.

Just when people thought it would take several years for the dean to find the last disciple, the news came out. .??.??

The girl from the Bailu Xie family has now become the last student of the dean.

She is also the only female student.

The academy was the first to be shocked by this incident.

Countless students gathered on the bank of the South Lake. They looked at the elegant courtyard over there and started discussing.

"I have already said that the Xie girl is not an ordinary person. She does not attend some classes on weekdays. This is a matter of course. It is not worth making a fuss about."

"I think so too. After all, it was the dean himself who said he would be exempted from the exam. How could he be a mediocre person?"

"I was too much like Meng Lang back then and said too many bad things about her. Now I really regret it."

"We are so lucky to be in the academy with such a person."

There are many voices on the lakeside, but nowadays there are almost no negative things, most of them are praise.

There were also some students who took the wrong approach. Under a willow tree, several students gathered together. They looked at Huang Zhi further away and sneered, "This person had already made the wrong idea at the beginning. Now that person has already

Became the dean

As a closed disciple, will he still be so shameless?"

Another student with a handsome face echoed, "I think so. I was so entangled with her family background back then, and now that I know she is the dean's student, I'm afraid it will be even more so."

As soon as these words came out, several people under the willow tree laughed, but the laughter did not reach Huang Zhi's ears in the distance.

Huang Zhi in the distance looked towards the small courtyard in the distance with a wry smile on his face, but at the same time, there were a few different emotions in his eyes.

In the small courtyard farther away, Xie Nandu opened the letter and took out the contents. After reading the letter, she smiled, just put the things away, and left the courtyard. The maid Liu Ye

Follow her.

Now that I have become a master, I naturally want to learn something.

She soon arrived at the small pavilion in the middle of the lake.

There was a scholar who had been waiting here for a long time. When he saw Xie Nandu coming here, he just smiled and nodded and said, "Sir, you asked me to come and give lectures to my junior sister."

Xie Nandu saluted and said softly, "Thank you, senior brother."

The scholar nodded and immediately announced his family name, "My surname is Wei, and my given name is number 12. You can call me twelfth senior brother. If you don't like it, you can just call me senior brother Wei. Sir, I don't care about that."

Xie Nandu then called Senior Brother Wei.

Wei Xu nodded and said, "Mr. once said that the books of sages can be read. I heard that junior sister is a famous talented girl of Bailu Xie family, so naturally she has read a lot. Many masters in other academies have also explained it, so today I will give a lecture only about spiritual practice."

.”

Xie Nandu nodded.

"Xie has some methods passed down from family, but my husband said those methods are not good, so I don't need to study them."

As soon as Wei Xu opened his mouth, he had completely rejected the Xie family's cultivation methods that had been passed down for more than a hundred years. However, he represented the dean and the academy, so he naturally had this qualification.

Xie Nandu nodded without refuting.

If a person like the dean is knowledgeable about ancient and modern times, there will be no problem with his views.

.

Wei Xu smiled again and said, "Master said that junior sister is a genius, so when giving lectures, you don't need to talk too much, junior sister can understand it by herself."

Xie Nandu said nothing.

After a long silence, Wei Xu said, "Junior sister, do you have anything you want to ask?"

Xie Nandu was silent for a moment and said, "If senior brother starts giving lectures, I think I will have problems."

…….??.

…….??.

Since the first year of the Tianjian, Dali Temple has detained dozens of prisoners. Each of them has a high position and has committed serious crimes. But if you think about it, all of them together have not caused as much trouble as Chen Chao, and the strange one is

It is Chen Chao who has the lowest official rank among these people.

He is just a guardian envoy of Tianqing County.

The same official rank as a county magistrate.

Such officials could not even be imprisoned in Dali Temple in the past.

But now Chen Chao has his own cell in Dali Temple.

It is very spacious, there are no mice crawling around as expected, there is no peculiar smell, and there is even a quilt.

The prison conditions in Dali Temple were indeed the best in the entire Daliang Dynasty.

Chen Chao was quite satisfied.

It's just that he doesn't understand why he has been imprisoned in a prison full of runes and magic circles, and there are such heavy iron chains on his hands and feet.

This is completely unnecessary!

Chen Chao was sitting on the ground. His black hair had become extremely greasy. The itching from his scalp made him a little uncomfortable. However, his hands were also full of dirt at the moment, making it difficult for him to think of scratching it.

So he has been enduring it.

In front of him was placed the lunch meal, one meat and two vegetables. The snow-white shredded radish and green vegetable leaves looked very satisfying, but the fish seemed to have been thickened with too much starch, making the soup look soupy.

Too thick.

As a god, ordinary poisons cannot kill him, but there are indeed many poisons in this world that are specially designed to target monks. God knows if one of them was in that meal.

He doesn't want to die

It's inexplicable.

He didn't know what was going on outside, but Chen Chao felt that it was about time someone came to find him.

When he thought of this, the sound of footsteps came from a distance.

A tall man walked over from a distance and opened the cell door.

He looked at Chen Chao and said with a smile, "You can go now. Someone has saved your life and you don't have to stand trial."

Chen Chao said oh.

The tall man glanced at the meal on the ground and said with a smile, "What's wrong? The food here doesn't suit your taste? That's true. Although the Ministry of Revenue allocates a lot of money to come here every year for food and other things,

I won’t treat you officials badly, but people’s hearts are like this, and the cooks will inevitably be scornful of you if they think that no matter how delicious the food they cook is for you, you will die.”

He took the key from his waist, walked over with a smile, and said, "But the trouble you caused is quite big, and that person also spent a lot of effort to sort it out."

He took off the shackles on Chen Chao's hands and squatted down to untie the shackles on his feet.

But the moment he squatted down, Chen Chao asked, "Do you think your performance was good?"

The man suddenly raised his head with a look of horror on his face, but before he could react, Chen Chao kicked him on the door in front of him. With just one kick, the man was severely knocked away by the huge impact and hit the wall of the cell opposite.

, with a loud noise, but before he could fall to the ground and before a mouthful of blood spurted out, Chen Chao came to him, pinched his throat, and forcefully pressed the blood in his mouth into his throat.

, can’t get out.

The man's face was full of horror, he couldn't imagine how he was exposed.

Chen Chao looked at his flushed face, narrowed his eyes and said, "I'm only going to ask you once, who asked you to kill me?"

The man couldn't speak or even breathe. At this moment, he could only stare in pain.

Chen Chao relaxed his hands.

The man took a breath, but then he bit the poison hidden in his teeth, and a stream of black blood flowed from his lips, and he lost his life.

Chen Chao let go of his hand, and the man's body just collapsed, like a pile of mud.
