Chapter 2 The penultimate test is death
Li Chu pressed his shoulder to calm him down.
"Go in and say. ”
When he saw the blood letter at that time, he actually made a lot of bad ideas. Including Wang Longqi was haunted by a banshee, Wang Longqi was haunted by a female demon, Wang Longqi was haunted by a female ghost, and Wang Longqi was haunted by a female monster...... Wait a minute.
At least at this moment, seeing that he was still standing in front of him intact, Li Chu's worries had dissipated a little.
The accommodation environment of Zhengqi Academy is still very good, and it is worthy of the name of the four major academies in the world.
Each student has a separate bedroom and study with lots of space and tastefully decorated. Inspirational books are hung on the walls, and the table is filled with fine pen, ink, paper, and inkstones.
Even if you are a poor student, as long as you are admitted to the college, you can immediately enjoy all these best learning conditions for free.
And the admission of Zhengqi Academy does not look at anything else, only your talent and talent, the world's first-class academy. As long as the world's first-class reading seeds.
It is no wonder that it will become the dream of all students in Jiangnanzhou.
Wang Longqi's desktop, as Li Chu expected, was empty, with a slight dust.
Really.
He entered this academy to trample on the dreams of students in Jiangnanzhou.
At the head of Wang Longqi's bed, there are quite a few books that have been turned over. It's just that there is not a single Confucian scripture in it, but it is full of Taoist scriptures and Buddhist scriptures.
At a glance, he has dabbled in more Taoist scriptures than Li Chu, a true Taoist priest.
What is this?
Want to leave home just a week after school starts?
But...... If it was Wang Longqi, it wouldn't be very strange.
After seeing this room, after their thoughts flew by, Li Chu and Xiao Yue'er sat on the chairs, ready to listen to Wang Longqi's situation.
Wang Longqi first climbed onto the bed, and then carefully wrapped himself in the quilt before looking at Li Chu in horror.
"You'll never guess what's going on!"
Li Chu squinted: "How can I know if you don't say it?"
Wang Longqi said in a calm tone: "I didn't know until I came in that the Zhengqi Academy was ...... One person dies every year!"
The little koi fish blinked cooperatively, looking a little surprised.
However, she didn't know what the academy was for, and she was probably just shocked by Wang Longqi's exaggerated tone.
Li Chu was expressionless about this.
There is a naked "oh" written on the face.
Academy......
Especially in a world-class academy like Zhengqi Academy, while candidates have extremely superior conditions, the pressure they are under is unimaginable.
In ancient times, the imperial examination was many times more difficult than the college entrance examination.
And the goal of the students in the Zhengqi Academy is by no means to show off their talents and raise people...... He went back to his hometown to eat and wait for death.
They wanted to be the top of the generation of this great dynasty, or even that one.
The burden in my heart can be imagined......
When the pressure is high, it can kill.
When Li Chu was in school, whenever he heard that the recent evening self-study and weekend make-up classes had been canceled, there was no reason.
Everyone tacitly knew that something had happened.
This happens a few times a year.
Similarly, in this righteous qi academy where the pressure is countless times greater, one person dies every year......
Not surprising at all.
Maybe even ...... It's a little less......
Wang Longqi saw that Li Chu was untouched, and said a little eagerly: "I'm not talking about suicide or accident or anything, but ...... Bizarre death, killed by a monster!"
"Huh?" Li Chu frowned at this time: "What monster?"
"I don't know!" Wang Long shook his head heavily, "I just don't know! It's been almost a hundred years, and no one the fuck knows!
He said aloud with some nervousness, apparently his mind was about to collapse after a long period of fear.
Li Chu was very familiar with him and knew that he had always been a very good person. It must be a terrible thing to make him afraid of being like this.
So he leaned forward slightly, approached Wang Longqi, looked into his eyes, lowered his voice, and said slowly:
"Don't worry, tell me what happened to you slowly, I can help you. ”
"Hmm...... Okay!" Wang Longqi nodded again, "I believe in you, I can only trust you." ”
Only then did he begin to tell the story of what had happened to him in an orderly manner.
"In the Zhengqi Academy, there has always been a legend. ”
"Every year in the entrance exam, the person who gets the first place in the bottom will die!"
Wang Longqi's gaze was wandering, as if he was telling a ghost story.
In a hoarse voice, he asked, "Do you know who the bottom number one of this year's entrance exams is?"
"Of course it's you. Li Chu said.
"Huh. Wang Longqi smiled bitterly at himself: "Yes, I'm afraid of being like this, of course you know it's me." ”
Li Chu said in his heart, no.
I just have faith in your strength.
But at this time, it was not good for him to stimulate Wang Longqi again.
"Actually, every college has this kind of ghost story that has been passed down from generation to generation......," he said.
"No!" Wang Longqi interrupted him, "Of course I know, I also made up the story that the school used to be a cemetery to scare people. Of course I won't believe this kind of nonsense. ”
"But ......"
"I quickly figured out something was wrong. ”
"At first, from the first day I entered this academy, the people around me were very kind to me, the kind that was strangely good. ”
"They gave me the best room, gave me the best gentleman and always left me the best position...... Everyone is smiling when they see me......"
"When everybody is passionate about you for no reason...... It scares you, you know?"
Li Chu blinked again without touching.
Because......
The people Li Chu meets every day are very enthusiastic about him......
Every girl smiled when she saw him......
Is this a strange thing?
Wang Longqi looked at Li Chu's expression, touched his forehead with his hand, and sometimes communicated with this kind of person......
Tired.
He had no choice but to explain: "For us ordinary people, this is a very strange thing!"
Li Chu nodded understandingly.
"At that time, I didn't feel anything wrong, I just thought they were taking care of the new students. But I soon found out that everyone in this academy was so busy that they didn't have time to care who you were or whether you were new or not. ”
"But only for me, they will be unreasonably enthusiastic and will do whatever time to help me. ”
"Do you know to what extent?"
"On the third day of school, I was not accustomed to the soil and water, and I had a slight diarrhea, and a group of senior brothers who knew medical skills immediately came to the door. ”
"I joked, I'm fine, I don't have to. If you really want to help, why don't you give me a try......"
"I swear, I really was just kidding. ”
"As a result, they scrambled to shout at me, 'Ollie'......"
"I was so scared that I almost cried......"
"On the fourth day of school, I went to bed when I suddenly had a leg cramp and immediately jumped up. It turned out that there was exactly a nail on the bed......"
He lifted his hair, and Li Chu saw a broken scar there.
It's not serious, but if it's two inches off...... It's hard to say.
"On the fifth day of school, I invited a few classmates to visit Wenwenli, but before I could enter the door, I was hit by an inexplicably startled carriage. ”
"Can you believe it? A tall horse, passing through the six of us, gave me only precision...... There...... Here comes a kick. ”
"I had a dead heart at that time......"
"Fortunately, after a sharp pain, I recovered and found that it was only a little swollen ......"
"In order not to spoil everyone's fun, I continued to invite them to play. Let them stay there for the night, and I had a meal alone and went back to the academy...... Facing the cold eyes and ridicule of the good girls......"
"On the way back, I was in so much pain that I rented a carriage, but the driver fell asleep...... Even the men and horses rushed into the Liuhua River......"
"I almost died in the river again......"
"I finally realized that something was wrong, since I entered this academy, I seem to have been very unlucky!"
"I didn't leave the room the next day, and I didn't even go to class...... Sir doesn't pursue me either...... It's so strange that if other students miss class without reason, they will be given one warning, two punishments, and three expulsions...... Without mercy. ”
"At this time, the brothers who came with me to the gentle came and told me a terrible thing in hesitation. ”
"Everyone is hiding this from me. It wasn't until we had a relationship that was comparable to a prostitution that they were willing to reveal it......"
"It turns out that the penultimate number one of the Righteous Qi Academy will die every year!"
He repeated his previous words.
It's just that this time, Li Chu's expression became serious.
It is not uncommon for a person to be unlucky. But it is strange for a person to be unlucky for a certain period of time, and all of them are to the point of death.
Especially in this world where luck is said.
Most likely, there is some mysterious existence involved.
"This incident has been going on for nearly 100 years, when one of the penultimate students who entered the school died inexplicably. ”
"The way to die may be bizarre, but no one cares. ”
"After all, in a place like this, no one cares about being last in place. ”
But when it happened several times...... After a few years, the academy's higher-ups finally realized that something was wrong. ”
"The death of one of the penultimate students every year does not seem to have much impact on the college. However, even the worst students in the academy are still first-class reading seeds, and it is a loss no matter what. ”
"What's more serious is that once the news spreads, who will dare to take the Righteous Qi Academy?"
"Who can guarantee that they won't be the last one?"
So the academy invited a master from Chaotianque and began to investigate this matter strictly. ”
"But...... To no avail. ”
"Everyone's death is a kind of ...... that begins without warning on the day of admission Gradually unlucky. That's right, it's bad luck to death. ”
"It's been three or five months, and it's been a year and a half, and no one has been spared. ”
The academy's top brass was furious. ”
"They used their connections to invite elder-level figures from half of the sects in the Twelve Immortal Sects, all of whom were existences in the Vientiane Realm. ”
But under the joint care of these people, the candidate who ranked first from the bottom that year actually died. ”
"The cause of death was that he choked without warning, and the elders of Tianwang Mountain wanted to help him pat him on the back, but he forgot to retract his strength......"
"In another year, Chaotianque even sent a powerhouse of the Decay Realm to sit down!"
But it was still useless, the investigation did not yield any results, and the student died unexpectedly. Before leaving, the powerful man said that there may be a big demon stealing the luck of the academy...... But he was helpless. ”
Since then, the academy has compromised. ”
To be honest, for a great powerhouse in the Realm of Decay, not to mention a single student, even if an entire academy dies, it is not a big deal.
It's just because this academy is a righteous academy that someone will take care of it.
But when all these powers are helpless, they can only give up.
Invite the land immortals again?
Those are all existences that can be encountered but cannot be found.
For the land immortals...... Even if the entire Hangzhou Mansion is dead, what can it do?
So Li Chu nodded clearly.
Compromise, not surprising.
He couldn't help but wonder, what would he do if he faced this kind of thing?
Soon, a terrible thought came to mind......
Li Chu didn't want to think about it anymore, and continued to listen intently to Wang Longqi's narration.
Just listen to Wang Long's seven ways:
"The Intermediate Academy has also tried many methods, such as merit-based admission, but it is not ranked second...... It's useless, good or bad, there will be a rod scale in your heart. The worst one, always dies. ”
So the top management of the academy thought of one last way......"
"They start by choosing a ...... from among the people who take the exam every year."
"The article is written in a bullshit ......"
"I don't learn and don't know how to ...... on weekdays"
"Character is useless......"
"Only a little handsome...... people"
They recruited this person as the last one, so that the seed of study, which was supposed to be the last place, could be spared the misfortune. ”
"And this penultimate ...... Waste, will die. ”
Li Chu's pupils shrank.
So that's the case, Wang Longqi was able to enter the Righteous Qi Academy, and he was really tired.
I just didn't expect it to be such a serious matter......
After thinking about it, he asked in a deep voice:
"What is the condition of 'only a little handsome'...... You added it yourself, right?"
"Clams?"
Wang Longqi looked at him sadly and indignantly.
"When is it...... You're still bothering me about this?"
