Chapter 38: Stepping Stones
As soon as he returned to the dormitory, Wang Qingyun said coldly: "Students who love to learn, in terms of bearing and consciousness, they are different from us laymen, you say?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Ping Leyi and Lu Hongkai nodded their heads on the side, obviously the three of them had already colluded.
Ling Chen glanced at them, and then walked to the balcony to water the flowers he had planted first. After cleaning up, he sat back in his place.
"What martial arts did you all choose?" Ling Chen asked.
"What martial arts do you choose? We all choose some 'very strong' mental techniques. Wang Qingyun deliberately accentuated the word "very strong", obviously dissatisfied with Ling Chen's actions today.
Ling Chen shook his head helplessly, it seemed that this matter would have to be explained to him slowly in the future.
"Do you listen to ghost stories?" Ling Chen asked, as the topic changed.
"Horror, the more exciting I get, the more I like it. Lu Hongkai became interested when he heard this.
"Package you are satisfied. Ling Chen smiled mysteriously, with an indescribable charm.
Although he knew that Ling Chen wanted to divert the topic, Wang Qingyun had no idea of going on, after all, there was time in the future, and now he would listen to what medicine he sold in his gourd.
"That's right, old cloud. Ling Chen called Wang Qingyun: "That old gentleman Shan is very powerful." ”
"I'll just say that the old man has something, and you still don't believe it. Hearing this, Wang Qingyun said proudly.
Lu Hongkai watched the two singing and harmonizing, and suddenly couldn't wait: "I said you guys hurry up, what about the good ghost stories? ”
Ping Leyi was practicing calligraphy on the side, and shouted a little irritably: "You are in a hurry to get a hammer." ”
The three of them were stunned when they heard this, and said quite speechlessly: "Where did you learn this?" They really couldn't imagine why such an elegant and easy-going Ping Leyi would say such vulgar words.
After the joke, Ling Chen also began to add fuel and vinegar to prepare to make up a ghost story to tell them.
It is said that a year ago, Ling Chen, Wang Qingyun and the other four people fled in the Eternal Demon Forbidden. In the Ancient Demon Forbidden, the two of them often told Lu Hongkai about some deeds, after all, for this kind of Jedi, it was a forbidden place that they would not dare to set foot in their lives.
That night, the fog gathered and did not disperse, setting off the bright moonlight, which looked even more misty and eerie. The cold dew was towards him, and the yin wind began to howl, letting out a low roar like a wild beast. Scraping across the grass was a long, piercing sound like a wild beast chewing bones.
The misty moisture gathered, and the white mist rushed straight in front of him. Everything seemed so hurried and unguarded. The white figure, in a trance, suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes in this way.
Her head hung peacefully from a tree, quiet and peaceful. The face is peerless and beautiful, the fairy posture is outstanding, and the fluttering fairy is like a fairy.
"Wait, is this a ghost story? How do I feel like you're going to fall in love with a female ghost. Ping Leyi interjected while practicing calligraphy on the side.
"What are you anxious about. "Ling Chen doesn't have a good airway. The weird atmosphere that he had finally created was destroyed by him like this. Then Ling Chen continued, and easily destroyed the fluorite used for lighting in the dormitory.
As soon as the words changed, Ling Chen suddenly said in a hurried tone: "Her whole body is covered with knife cuts, and blood stains her entire body. The chest cavity was hollowed out into a large hole, and the internal organs of the abdomen were mixed with the eroded minced flesh and fell to the ground in a lump. Blood, drop by drop... It fell on our faces. ”
"What... What is it?" Lu Hongkai asked with some confusion, as he felt that an unknown liquid was dripping from his face. Because Ling Chen cut off the supply of fluorite's spiritual power, the room was pitch black and nothing could be seen.
"Originally, the female corpse that was supposed to hang on the tree in front of us disappeared in the blink of an eye. ”
"We searched everywhere and couldn't find it, but the blood and scraps of flesh that had dripped from under the original tree were still there. I felt like someone was behind me, because the wind was blowing. ”
Wang Qingyun began to dub on the side: "Hmm~huh~" The voice is miserable, and it sounds like it makes people feel hairy.
"I turned my head suddenly... There is nothing behind. I turned my head again, and the female ghost was hanging upside down in the air, staring at me with her eyes. ”
"Wow~!"
At this moment, Ling Chen took out a small glowing fluorite and shone it out from under his face. He rolled his eyes, opened his mouth wide, and appeared in front of Lu Hongkai's eyes inexplicably, close at hand.
"Hmph, little trick. Lu Hongkai didn't think so, but sneered.
Ling Chen immediately put away the fluorite, and continued: "He slowly spit out a letter from his mouth and handed it to me. ”
"I don't believe it. Lu Hongkai said again.
"Right here. Ling Chen raised the letter in her hand, "She opened her eyes and looked at me, she said..."
"She said...?"
"Poof~"
She said Lu Hongkai, don't fucking fart. Ping Leyi said angrily for a while.
Then they lit up the fluorite in the dormitory again, and in the soft light, the three of them joined forces to beat Lu Hongkai violently.
"The seal of this letter has been unsealed?" Wang Qingyun asked with some surprise as he opened the opening of the envelope.
"That's right, that's why I said that Mr. Shan is very powerful. Just touched the letter, and the seal was broken. Ling Chen said.
"This old man really has something. Wang Qingyun whispered, maybe even he was unsure before.
Ling Chen was speechless for a while, and Wang Qingyun himself was blind. If you really believe his nonsense, you may be deceived into something. What is unreliable is unreliable after all.
handed the letterhead to Wang Qingyun, and Ping Leyi and Lu Hongkai also came over to take a look. After all, although the ghost story is not very good, they are indeed very interested in the fairy "female ghost".
Spread out the letter paper on the table, and the three of them looked around carefully, for fear of missing the slightest detail. But the more I looked, the more my brows tightened.
"It's ordinary. ”
"I thought there was going to be some shocking secret..."
"It's boring. ”
Each of the three expressed his own opinions.
Ling Chen sighed secretly, after all, they really didn't feel as deeply as they did, so they couldn't appreciate the sincere feelings contained in the letterhead.
Playing the piano to Niu is often self-inflicted, so Ling Chen doesn't plan to discuss these things with them. Even originally wanted them to help find the person "Liang Zhan", but in the end they had to give up.
"That's not something you should be bothered about right now. Tomorrow, the exchange meeting of the four courtyards will begin, have you thought about what kind of 'blockbuster' you are going to prepare for then?" Wang Qingyun deliberately turned Ling Chen up with his elbow when he said "blockbuster".
"I have an idea, Ling Chen. Lu Hongkai suddenly became interested when he heard this, "This is really a good opportunity, to be famous at this exchange meeting, and the reputation is instantaneous." ”
"Indeed, and Ling Chen, I believe in you too. I've already transcribed these two martial arts, so let's take them. Ping Leyi took out two thick books from the desk next to him and handed them to Ling Chen, and didn't forget to give him a "optimistic about you" look.
"That's what support is called. Ping Leyi looked at Lu Hongkai with slanted eyes, and said word by word in a slightly provocative tone. The meaning is obvious, good friends have ideals, and if they want to do a big thing, they should give some help. So I have given Ling Chen two martial arts now, what can you give Ling Chen?
"This..."Lu Hongkai was speechless for a while. To be honest, he didn't think about it at all.
Wang Qingyun's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"Who said that we Hongkai were not prepared. Wang Qingyun put his hand on Lu Hongkai's shoulder, and looked at the expression as if the two had the same mind. Such a familiar set made Lu Hongkai look dazed, was prepared? Why didn't he even know it. I don't know why, Lu Hongkai gradually felt a bad premonition in his heart.
"Now we haven't figured out the strength of our opponent yet, so our classmate Lu Hongkai took the initiative to apply! Wang Qingyun's words were passionate and sincere.
"Let's applaud Lu Hongkai's righteous and selfless spirit!"
Seeing that Ling Chen and Ping Leyi didn't move, he gave them a hard look. Ping Leyi understood in seconds, and applauded. Although Ling Chen knew that he was cheating Lu Hongkai, it was the main idea to follow the crowd at this time, but he was not as enthusiastic as those two people.
Lu Hongkai suddenly looked at Wang Qingyun with a surprised face, as if he had seen a ghost. He felt that there was something wrong, and Wang Qingyun was digging a pit for him.
"You... You guys...!" Lu Hongkai was a little anxious, and he didn't know how to complain about this group of bad friends. They took advantage of all the advantages, but they became the ones who were beaten the most.
"Wait!" Lu Hongkai suddenly stretched out his hands and stopped their performance. "And what if I win?"
The atmosphere that was originally very quiet was suddenly filled with a burst of weird laughter, and even Ling Chen couldn't help laughing.
"No, Hongkai. You don't add drama to yourself. Wang Qingyun smiled and leaned back, and couldn't stop patting Lu Hongkai's shoulder. "He, Xuan Lijing, doesn't dare to guarantee that he can win;
Lu Hongkai pursed his lips, pondered for a while, and then stretched out three fingers and said, "At the very least, you have to invite me to the second floor of the cafeteria for three meals." ”
Hearing the gap in the real realm, even Lu Hongkai began to retreat. They were also freshmen who only joined last year, and they didn't know how much gold the exchange meeting of the four academies was. Nowadays, it seems that it is not so simple to make a name for yourself with the help of this conference.
"Vulgar! As intimate roommates, how can we make such a cheesy request?" After speaking, Wang Qingyun squeezed Lu Hongkai's hand and pressed the three fingers back again.
"At least one meal, I can't get beaten for nothing. Even so, Lu Hongkai still stretched out his thumb and gestured towards Wang Qingyun.
"Deal. ”
There are some vulgar transactions here, but Ling Chen, who is a party to the party, doesn't want to participate at all, and has already gone to the side to memorize the two martial arts.
"That's it, Lu Hongkai. It's not like I'm leaving you without hope. If you can force out Ye Jingxuan's true spirit, I will invite you to eat for a month!"
"Really?" Lu Hongkai's eyes straightened when he heard this.
"How can your character be the same as mine?" said Ping Leyi proudly.
"Don't be cold, it's not worth it. Wang Qingyun kindly reminded on the side.
However, Yuan Dan is in great consummation, and if you want to resist a person who is at least in the Xuanli realm, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. Not to mention that trying to force out other people's true spirits is tantamount to a fool's dream.
"Just look at it. A month's cafeteria on the second floor, I, Lu Hongkai, have eaten!"
