Chapter 45: The Past of the Tribute Academy
We were a group of seven and turned to the school gate. The school security guard wouldn't let us in, so I politely said, "We're representatives of the company, let's visit the school!" The security guard looked at me: "Don't fool me! I didn't get notice, so I had to let the girl in! ”
I patiently explained: "I am Qin Qiuyan's father. If you don't believe it, you can call Teacher Liu Jiawen or Principal Wu to come out! The security guard went back to the guard room and said through the window, "Don't give me all the!" Are you her dad? She's seventeen or eighteen years old! Did you have a baby at the age of ten? ”
At this time, Principal Wu, who was sweating profusely on his bald head, ran out of the office building. "Excuse me, I was in a meeting! I didn't know that Mr. Qin could arrive so early! Come on in! He opened the door himself. We followed Principal Wu into the school.
At eight o'clock, it was class time, and the school was full of books. We were walking around the campus, and the wind was cool in front of us. But I was in the wind, and I smelled a strange smell. This breath is very different from the corpse qi in the bamboo forest. There's a thick aura in there.
Chen Shan involuntarily held my hand. "Principal Wu, this school has a history of nearly 100 years, right?" I asked. "Yes! Our school has a long history. If you trace back to the source, this is still the ancient tribute courtyard! No one asks about the cold window for ten years, and the title of the gold list is heard all over the world! This is the place where the dreams of many readers come true! Principal Wu was full of emotion.
I pointed to the temple outside, "Is that the Temple of Literature where scholars burn incense?" Principal Wu shook his head with a smile, "That's not the Temple of Literature, it's called the Lonely Soul Temple in ancient times!" Dedicated to the scholars who died in a foreign land! Principal Wu pointed to the library in the back, "The former site of the Temple of Literature and the Gongyuan is down there. ”
At this time, Qiu Yan exclaimed in a low voice: "There are people on the roof!" I looked up. On the top of the sixth floor, a man stood at the edge of the building. He was motionless, like a sculpture. Everyone saw it and quickly ran over. The sharp-eyed Principal Wu almost shouted: "Liu Jiawen! He wanted to run upstairs, but the purple kite grabbed him.
"Don't go over, it's a dead man!" Purple Kite said. Principal Wu was a little unconvinced, "How is it possible?" Isn't she standing there? "I'm sure too," she was right, it wasn't a living person! Principal Wu wiped a cold sweat, "What's the matter?" How can a dead person go upstairs? ”
Xiao Ting gave the two colleagues a look, and the three police officers rushed to the stairs separately. They were athletic and rushed to the roof in the blink of an eye. Chen Shan and I also followed, but the purple kite watched casually below. We looked at the empty roof platform in disappointment.
We went downstairs again, and Purple Kite smiled, "That's an illusion!" Real ghosts are invisible during the day! Her words drew countless rolls of eyes. Principal Wu, did Su Dong tell you that we are going to change the feng shui thing? I asked.
Principal Wu nodded again and again, "Su Dong said it!" I just don't know, how is Mr. Qin going to change? Do you want to find an engineering team? I shook my head, "No need to demolish the house!" Please find some tools, we will do it ourselves. ”
The headmaster was very efficient and quickly found a hammer and shovel, as well as a brick knife. We came to the library. I took out my compass and looked for directions. The building faces north and south, and there is a small flower bed on each side of the gate.
I dug a deep pit on the left side and beckoned to the two male officers: "Two gentlemen, come and do me a favor!" "The three of us carried out a stone tablet together. The handwriting on the stele is blurred, and the purple kite traces the font on the stele with cinnabar. There's a tragic story to tell.
A thousand years ago, a scholar surnamed Liang. Thousands of miles to Zhongzhou Gongyuan to catch the exam, he was full of economy and learned to be rich in five cars. His family believed that he would definitely be able to make a name for himself. In his hometown, he is a prodigy known to women and children.
Liang Shu's business was in high spirits and came to catch the exam. In the Gongyuan, he met a son of an official family, and that person's surname was Zhang. Zhang Gongzi is gentle and elegant, and he is bookish. Zhang Gongzi and Liang Shusheng hit it off at first sight, and they hated to see each other late.
Zhang Gongzi made a generous move. In the days of waiting for the exam, Liang Gongzi's food, clothing, housing and transportation, he contracted. Two people are together, in and out of the restaurant, Goolan Theater. Two people eat at the same table and sleep together.
Liang Shusheng felt that Zhang Gongzi's attitude towards himself was becoming more and more ambiguous. But Liang Gongzi was not too disgusted. He has a strange sense of dependence on Zhang Gongzi. His family was very poor, and the expenses for the exam were all scraped together and borrowed from relatives.
The three-day exam ended smoothly. When the list was released, Liang Shusheng was nowhere on the list, and Zhang Gongzi was the first in high school. Liang Shusheng was surprised, but he could only accept the facts and prepare to return to his hometown. Before going back, he went to congratulate Zhang Gongzi and resigned by the way.
When the wine was hot, Zhang Gongzi inadvertently confided the truth. It turned out that he was very elegant in appearance, but in fact he was a fake Sven. He couldn't write anything good at all. So, he looked for Liang Shusheng to be his stand-in.
He relied on the power of his family to let the examiner exchange the test papers. changed Liang Shusheng's article to his Zhang Gongzi's name. He successfully became the first place in the gold list. With fame, Zhang Gongzi can follow his father into the court as an official.
Liang Shusheng was shocked, he left the Liang family, and went straight to the government to complain. He was powerless and powerless, and he was beaten and dismissed from his original fame. Liang Shusheng, who was in pain, wrote a blood book and hanged himself in front of the Gongyuan Gate.
Some unhappy scholars want to go to the capital to file a complaint. But before he could set off, he was brutally killed by a group of bandits in the inn. Nearby villagers carved monuments and built ancestral halls.
Many years later, after the change of dynasty, Zhang Gongzi's family was killed by the rebels. There were more than 100 people in the family, and only one youngest son survived. On Liang Gongzi's memorial day, Zhang Gongzi's head was hung on the beam of the ancestral hall. Chained with iron chains, he will never be able to transcend life.
After reading this story, my heart was a little heavy. I sighed: "O evil old society! "We worked together to carry the stele out of the school. Come to the Lonely Soul Temple and set up the stone tablet. At this time, the copper bell on the ancestral hall rang into one piece.
The original ancestral hall door was blocked by masonry. The moment the stele was erected, the masonry collapsed with a bang. I saw two vermilion lacquer gates, looking like new, and the bright red color seemed to have just been painted. I asked the principal to find an incense table and incense candles and place them in front of the ancestral hall.
I lit three sticks of high incense and kowtowed respectfully. Then, standing in front of the incense case, read out the memorial text aloud: "Junior Qin Feng, meet the predecessor Liang Gongbonian!" Mr. Liang is only eight buckets high, and he is rich in five cars! The article is splendid, and every word is beautiful! It's just that Nai is born at the wrong time, and Huai Cai is not met! It's hateful to meet people, and I paid my heart wrongly! Now that the world has changed, the sea has become a mulberry field. The enemy has been destroyed, and the heroic soul has been revealed! May Liang Gong take a group of chivalrous warriors to the immortal realm as soon as possible. Don't leave a grudge in the world! ”
After reading the sacrificial text, the vermilion lacquer door did not open by itself. I beckoned everyone to kneel on the side of the road, and I shouted, "Congratulations to all the immortals!" I saw a cloud of white smoke coming out of the door, wafting into the distance. Looking back, the bamboo forest has withered and fallen at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The library door opened, and I heard a boy shouting, "I'm out!" I'm alive! Tell me, 'Who saved me?' Qiu Yan was overjoyed and ran all the way over. The two of them bumped into each other at the school gate.
"Yuan viagra! You're out! That's great! Qiu Yan hugged him and cried and laughed. Ji Yuanwei was also very surprised, "You are the one, the girl I sent out?" Qiu Yan nodded vigorously, "Yes, my name is Qin Qiuyan!" It was my dad who saved you! ”
I walked to the side and looked at the two of them with a smile. "Thank you, uncle!" Ji Yuanwei bowed to me. "Your name is Ji Yuanwei? How long have you been trapped inside? I asked him. I can't see day or night in there, it's just gray. Every once in a while, someone brings food over. Sleepy has a small room to sleep in, which is quite well equipped. Except that there is no electricity. He said.
At the beginning, Ji Yuanwei was quite scared, and he was very lonely! After a long time, reading books became his greatest hobby. The books here are all rare books, and his family is a scholarly family, so it is not difficult to read this kind of book. When he finished reading the first book, a scholar in ancient costume came.
Ji Yuanwei knew that this was not a person, but a ghost. Because he has a white silk wrapped around his neck. He claimed to be surnamed Liang and was the master of Wenyuan Pavilion. As soon as he came, he would accept Ji Yuanwei as an apprentice. Ji Yuanwei saw that he had a bad temper, so he could only worship him as a teacher.
Master Liang's temper is not ordinarily bad, as long as Ji Yuanwei remembers a wrong word, he will be punished with ten precepts. He stipulated that each ancient book must be memorized, and articles must be written with a brush. After reading a book, take a test. He and a group of scholars came to invigilate each exam.
After passing the written test, I have to take an oral test of strategy. Buddhism, Feng Shui, the Art of War, celestial phenomena, divination, everything. It's a bit of a mess, but it's fun. Although he knew that these teachers were all ghosts, and some of them had bad tempers. At every turn, he scolds the sky and the earth, and scolds the mulberry. But they are good and upright by nature.
They treat Ji Yuanwei as their own child, and they are strict and loving. In order to make his life better, they even brought a cook. Responsible for taking care of his life every day. The cook, surnamed Zhang, loves him like a son, and changes tricks to make him delicious.
The method of saving Qiuyan was also quietly revealed by the cook. He could have left, but he knew that if he escaped, the cook's life would not be easy! I admire him very much, I think that Qiu Yan can still have a good eye for such a boy.
"Let's go and bring the cook out!" He was the first to run to the library. A group of us then followed. The bookshelves on the second floor have rotted into a pile of wood slag. The crumbs of books are blown everywhere by the wind. Sunlight poured throughout the house.
A woman with long flowing hair, standing at the window, the sun on her body, gilded with a layer of gold. "Mother, we can go home!" Ji Yuanwei shouted. The woman turned around, her face stunned. Zhang Hao slowly approached the woman, and asked in a trembling voice, "Your name is Zhang Qingyi?" Right? ”
The woman looked at it carefully, "Are you Haohao?" Zhang Hao? Zhang Hao knelt down, "Auntie, I'm Haohao!" My grandparents, my parents, our whole family, have been looking for you for 18 years! ”
