Chapter 892: Human-faced Beast Heart
In the blink of an eye, a group of scholars who were originally kind and humble have become fierce beasts that want to eat people, with extremely ferocious expressions, and I am afraid that they will have nightmares for days after seeing them.
It seems that it is really as the legend says, the people of the Scholar Garden are self-cultivation but not mind-cultivation, and let the demon Dao exercises eat the soul and soul, and they are all beasts with human faces and beast hearts.
Therefore, it is useless to reason with this group of people, there are only two ways in front of Xiao Zhang, one is to use force directly, but in this way, his trip to Shuxiangyuan may end before it begins, and the other is to tempt and appease them with favorable conditions.
Of course, if you can not use force, Xiao Zhang immediately decided to use the method of inducement.
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Zhang spoke: "Everyone, don't be impatient, can you listen to my explanation?"
According to the bloody plot in the TV series in the previous life, the other party should cover his ears and shout "I don't listen", but in this world, the bloody routine has obviously not been invented, and although these "beasts" around them have murderous expressions, they leave Xiao Zhang some time to explain by default.
Xiao Zhang didn't dare to delay, and immediately said: "You may not know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always opposed the traditional imperial examination system, and after the Prince succeeds to the throne in the future, a new employment system will definitely be established to ensure that people make the best use of their talents, and will never bury a talent." I am the Prince's protector Xuanyuan, and I speak for the Prince. ”
The people around were stunned when they heard this, and for a while they actually withdrew the murderous look on their faces, and looked at each other, indeed, Xiao Zhang's statement did touch their hearts.
However, at this time, the teaching gentleman suddenly shouted: "The people of the court are all liars who can speak well, don't believe him, he must be a spy sent by the court!"
As soon as these words came out, people suddenly came to their senses, and they put their "beast" nature back on their faces, and they were about to pounce on Xiao Zhang with their teeth and claws.
Don't look at this group of people are all scholars, but after cultivating the Demon Dao Exercises, it is a little strange to cultivate to a high level, just take one out, and the physical strength has reached the late stage of the tenfold realm, and the cultivation is even high to the middle of the eleventh realm.
The Demon Dao Exercise is really a shortcut, no wonder many people choose to cultivate regardless of its backlash, and the people of this Shuxiangyuan practice the derivative exercises of the "Yijin Sutra", so their physical strength is surprisingly high.
Although there were only a few dozen people at the moment, it was indeed not easy for Xiao Zhang to deal with, so Xiao Zhang decided to continue to throw out the lure conditions.
"I know that everyone is a hard-working scholar and has no money in their hands. Xiao Zhang smiled and said, "In this way, since I am here, how about giving each person 10,000 taels of gold as a meeting gift?"
Saying that, Xiao Zhang waved his hand, and a golden hill appeared on the ground, this is all real gold, Xiao Zhang has gold, in order to win people's hearts, this bit of gold is simply a drop in the bucket for him.
As soon as they saw the gold, all the poor scholars immediately put away their "beast" nature again, and after looking at each other for a while, they all stared at the small gold mountain, their eyes full of longing.
Indeed, they were all poor scholars who worked hard, and some of them had never even seen what gold looked like, and at this moment, the shrill voice of Mr. Teaching sounded again: "Let us not be deceived by this man, he is going to corrupt our hearts, and we cannot afford to fall for it!"
As soon as they heard this, all the scholars suddenly put on their true colors again, and this time they didn't wait any longer, but directly roared and pounced on Xiao Zhang.
Xiao Zhang finally understood that this teacher was actually similar to a mentor in a pyramid scheme, specializing in brainwashing, and these scholars had obviously been completely brainwashed.
Well, since that's the case, then you can only use force, it doesn't matter if you can mix in Shuxiangyuan, what matters is that you will never suffer.
Just when Xiao Zhang was about to roll up his sleeves and start fighting, a voice sounded outside the door: "Stop!"
The scholars were surprisingly obedient and immediately stepped aside, their expressions changing to humility and respect.
I saw a man walk in, looked at Mr. Teach, and asked, "Who is making trouble here?"
Mr. Jiaoshu immediately stretched out his hand to Xiao Zhang, and said angrily: "This person is a lackey of the imperial court, and he must have a bad plot when he infiltrated the Shuxiang Garden." ”
The man only glanced at Xiao Zhang, and immediately became extremely respectful, and even couldn't help but kneel down on the spot: "It turned out to be Engong!"
Xiao Zhang also recognized it, this person was none other than the person from the Shuxiang Garden he rescued from the Demon Heaven Sect, and on the Star Demon Mountain, that person had also saved Xiao Zhang once.
Xiao Zhang laughed, immediately reached out to help the man, and said, "It turned out to be you." ”
The man got up and said to the people around him, "Everyone, this person is my Liang's life-saving benefactor, and he is the one who rescued me from the hands of the Demon Heaven Sect. This person is the protector of the crown prince of the current dynasty, Xuanyuan Protector, and is the envoy who represents the prince to unite the two factions of the extreme west. ”
When everyone heard this, they immediately showed reverence, and even the teacher who was still jealous and hateful just now finally changed his attitude, and immediately stepped forward to salute Xiao Zhang and said: "I see, the old man has no eyes, please forgive Xuanyuan Protector." ”
Three interjections were used in succession to express Mr. Teaching's integrity and repentance, and Xiao Zhang naturally didn't want to make enemies, so he stretched out his hand and said: "Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding." ”
The man said to Xiao Zhang: "It's better for me to accompany Xuanyuan Protector to walk in the Scholarly Garden, in case there are any more people with eyes and beads who offend Xuanyuan Protector." As he said this, he glared fiercely at the teacher.
Mr. Teach, knowing that he was wrong, bowed his head in shame and did not dare to make a sound.
Under the guidance of that person, Xiao Zhang walked slowly in the scholarly garden, and suddenly asked, "I heard you just say, your surname is Liang?" Xiao Zhang was a little sensitive to the word Liang, of course, thanks to Liang Jian.
The man suddenly slapped his head and said in annoyance: "Look at my memory, I forgot to introduce myself." My name is Liang An, and I am the commander of the guards in the Shuxiang Garden, and sometimes I also have some secret spy business, and I was arrested by them last time when the Demon Heaven Sect was inquiring about information. ”
Xiao Zhang nodded, thought for a moment and asked, "Your name is Liang An, then do you have anything to do with Liang Jian?" Xiao Zhang still couldn't help but think of Liang Jian, but after asking this question, he was also a little embarrassed.
Liang An smiled: "Although my surname is also Liang, I have no relationship with Liang Jian, please rest assured that Xuanyuan Protector." "This Liang An is worthy of engaging in intelligence work, obviously knowing that Xiao Zhang and Liang Jian have a grudge.
Xiao Zhang turned his head to enjoy the surrounding scenery, tried to hide his embarrassment, and said, "Take me to see your master." ”
Master is the title of the supreme leader of the Shuxiang Garden, which is equivalent to the head or sect master.
