Chapter 790: The School's Strange Incident (There is only one chapter today)
…
Another morning, Xu Xuan came to the academy early.
As a latecomer, he has fallen behind a lot of homework compared to his classmates. If he wants to catch up, he must work harder.
He didn't want to let down his sister who had worked so hard to raise him.
Open the Three Character Classic, use the pencil given by the teacher, and start writing on the paper, stroke by stroke, very carefully.
Time passed unknowingly, and more and more students gradually came, and gradually it was time to start class.
The teacher came in with a monkey who was dressed in clothes and behaved like a human, but had red eyes and a thunderous mouth.
"monster!"
A tall and sturdy child suddenly spoke.
Xu Junming frowned and was about to scold him when the monkey next to him grinned and glared, as if he wanted to hit someone.
As a result, the seemingly tall and strong little guy twitched his eyes and cried "Wow".
"Wow, wow, the monster is eating people."
After saying that, he spread his legs and ran out, and disappeared in a flash. His movements were as fast as if he had to urinate.
Xu Junming saw it, shook his head, and didn't pay much attention.
He turned around and looked at the many students in the hall, all of them showing fear on their faces, which made him feel a little upset for no reason. He originally wanted Sun Shi to learn some knowledge and understand the principles together.
He has forgotten that the human race in the Earthly Immortal World is not his Chongshan World.
In the world of Chongshan, due to strict laws, all living beings, whether human or demon, can coexist peacefully as long as they are in heaven and earth.
But this is obviously not the case in the Earthly Immortal World.
"There are no classes today. You all should go home. If you want to come tomorrow, you can come. If you don't want to come, don't come."
As soon as they heard what he said, all the children ran out.
They had grown up listening to the instructions from their parents, 'If you don't obey, the monsters will take you away.' Seeing Sun Shi's appearance, how could they not be afraid?
But contrary to Xu Junming's expectation, there are still people who dare to stay?
"Xu Xuan, aren't you afraid?"
Xu Xuan hesitated for a moment and shook his head.
"My sister said that my husband teaches students for free and also provides lunch, which benefits the village. He must be a good person."
"Your sister is quite insightful."
Speaking of his sister, Xu Xuan showed a proud smile on his face.
"Of course, my sister's women's clothing is the best in Hangzhou, and many rich people buy it."
Xu Junming smiled lightly, "Shitou, go over and be next to Xu Xuan."
"Yes, Master."
Sun Shi responded and walked to sit next to Xu Xuan.
A monkey that was a head taller than him and looked very ferocious came over. Although Xu Xuan said he was not afraid, there was still a hint of fear in his eyes.
Fortunately, he restrained himself and did not scare away the children like those before.
Xu Junming glanced at him and thought to himself: "I almost passed the test of the Human Soul Gate. I still have courage."
With the previous comparison, Sun Shi also had a better impression of Xu Xuan next to him.
"You two are newcomers who have just entered school. Let's start from the 'Three Character Classic' and read it with me."
"In the beginning, human beings are inherently good...!"
Just after teaching a few words, there were heavy footsteps outside the door.
Xu Junming frowned. He hated being disturbed during class the most.
Turning around, I saw a dozen men, women, and children walking in with their children.
Those children were his former students.
"Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu?"
Xu Junming stepped out.
Ordinary people have a natural respect for teachers, especially in ancient times when respect for teachers was important and illiteracy was widespread.
Moreover, as a Taiyi Celestial Immortal, although he has sealed his magic power, he still possesses an air of calmness and dignity, as well as an elegant and ethereal temperament.
Those who came with their children felt ashamed when they saw him come out, and they did not dare to say anything.
But the more people there are, the more courage there will be.
A man who looked a bit strong said: "Mr. Xu, the child said there are monsters in your school...?"
He hasn't finished speaking yet.
"monster!"
"Oh, it's so scary. There are really monsters in the school."
"Go and report to the official!"
The people behind saw Sun Shi, who was five feet tall, had a red face and a thunderous mouth, and looked like a monkey, and their colors instantly changed.
The timid ones were even more frightened and kept retreating.
"quiet!"
Xu Junming shouted suddenly, as if a thunder exploded in his ears, and at the same time, a mysterious force made everyone fearful and calm down their anxious mood.
"What you see is not a bloodthirsty monster, but a direct disciple of this deity. He is a man of great wisdom. He is just like a monkey. There is no need to be afraid."
Everyone looked at each other, and after a while, the strong man who spoke first said again: "Mr. Xu is trying to deceive us. This monkey is five feet tall, has blazing eyes, a thunderous mouth, and a fierce look. He is clearly a monster."
"Yes, it must be a demon."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Xu Junming shook his head secretly.
He didn't expect that a group of ordinary people who couldn't read a lot of Chinese characters would be able to identify the difference between monsters and innate gods.
"I have said everything that needs to be said. Please come back later. If you are afraid, don't let your children come to ask for lessons in the future."
After hearing this, everyone immediately changed their colors.
In the past three years, Chongshan Academy has not charged tuition fees and provided free lunch, which has benefited hundreds of families around it.
They have become accustomed to enjoying these benefits and would not be willing to lose them suddenly.
There is a saying: when rice is promoted, kindness is fought against rice and hatred.
Of course there are some small-minded people among the dozens of people.
"Mr. Xu, according to Daqi law, colluding with monsters is a capital crime. We have been neighbors for so many years, and we have been favored by you. Let us pretend that we didn't see what happened today. But if you insist on taking in this monster, don't blame us.
Go to the Yamen and file a complaint against you."
A man with triangular eyes in brocade clothes threatened.
After looking at him, Xu Junming looked cold and smelled sweet.
"roll!"
"you…!"
Sun Shi, who had long been angered by these people's "monster" and "monster", jumped out of the teacher's room.
He bared his teeth and looked ferocious.
"roar!"
Everyone who looked angry just now and wanted to argue with Xu Junming was instantly frightened by the way it deliberately pretended to be.
After taking a deep breath, Sun Shi took two steps forward and knelt down in front of Xu Junming.
"Disciple acts recklessly and without reason. Please punish me, Master."
"If someone points your nose and scolds you and you remain indifferent, my teacher will kick you out of the door. Get up."
If these people hadn't been accompanied by children, Xu Junming would have gone out with all his skills.
"Thank you, Master."
Sun Shi's face was filled with joy and he quickly got up.
Looking at Xu Xuan who was quietly following him out, he thought for a moment and waved.
The latter hesitated for a moment and walked over quickly.
"gentlemen."
"Xu Xuan, are you willing to worship me as your teacher?"
"Apprenticeship?"
Xu Xuan didn't know what it meant to be a disciple.
"That's right. You have a good talent. If you accept me as your teacher, I will teach you the way of cultivation."
Xu Xuan's eyes lit up and he quickly said: "Like an immortal, the kind that can fly around?"
Xu Junming smiled lightly, "Not bad."
"I…!"
Just as he was about to agree, he hesitated again.
"I want to ask my sister."
"This is what it should be."
Xu Xuan nodded, "Sir, I'll go back first."
"Go ahead. If your sister agrees, you can come back tomorrow. If not, you don't have to come again."
Xu Xuan's body trembled and he nodded quickly.
He bowed respectfully, turned around and ran out.
After he left, Xu Junming flicked his fingers, and a spiritual light disappeared in the courtyard gate.
"Let's go back to class."
Sun Shi nodded and walked back to the classroom obediently.
Those who were scared away by him would certainly not give up when they returned home. And no one wanted this monster to live near their homes, it was too dangerous.
A dozen people together rushed to the Yamen to report the crime.
Hangcheng is a county government, and one of the parents here has at least the strength of Yuanyang True Immortal with the help of the imperial dragon energy.
But within Daqi, the local yamen are only responsible for local government affairs, and those who deal with monsters and ghosts are Jingyesi, who is directly under the imperial court's Criminal Department.
After receiving the report, the Yamen quickly handed it over to Jingyesi, who sent two iron guards over.
Tiewei is the lowest-ranking member of Jingyesi, and most of them have a cultivation level of Jindan or above.
Because the lowest level among the transformed demon clan is the golden elixir. If you don't have this level of cultivation, you will die if you come to Jingyesi.
"Two adults, this is it."
Liu Ermazi, with a flattering smile on his face, diligently brought the two powerful iron guards outside the academy.
Looking at the small courtyard in front of me, which is built with green bricks and covered with green tiles, covering an area of more than an acre.
Wang Ling turned his head and asked, "Are you sure this is where it is?"
"Yes, my son has been studying here for half a year. There is no way I can remember it wrong."
"Brother Wang, I have heard a lot about Chongshan Academy."
Coming together, a middle-aged monk wearing a ge robe suddenly said.
"Oh, have you been here?"
"That's not true. However, Dean Xu of Chongshan Academy teaches poor children for free and provides them with lunch. Therefore, he has a good reputation around him."
"So, this Mr. Xu doesn't look like someone who is colluding with the demon clan."
Wang Ling looked at Liu Ermazi with sharp eyes.
The latter's legs trembled when he saw him, his face was full of fear, and he said quickly.
"Two officials, Mr. Xu is hiding the demon clan, but the neighbors have seen it, so he is definitely not lying."
The people watching around also nodded quickly.
Wang Ling frowned slightly, "Come on, let's go in and take a look."
The middle-aged man Ge Yi nodded and pushed the courtyard door. The closed black door was easily pushed open by him.
The two looked at each other and walked in with wary expressions.
The moment they entered, the two courtyard doors closed automatically with a bang.
This strange scene instantly scared the onlookers around to the point of jumping and running away in the distance.
It wasn't until I ran out of the alley that I dared to stop and look back.
The fierce fight imagined did not happen.
"It's over, it's over. Those two officials were probably harmed by the monkey demon."
"If we report it to the police, it won't come to harm us too, right?"
Everyone exchanged glances with each other and immediately dispersed.
