Chapter 7: The Criticism of the Academy

Luzhou City, Tianhong Academy.

When I opened my eyes, I saw the night again.

Xiao Cezi staggered to his feet. The wound on his chest was scarred again, and he reached out and touched it gently, but it was on a thick layer of gauze.

Someone bandaged themselves?

He didn't know what time it was, but he saw the stars twinkling in the sky outside the window, just like a cold gaze.

Thinking of the farce in the early morning, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but sneer. Without thinking much about the consequences, he got out of bed with an indifferent face, put on his shoes and socks, and then walked out in the dark.

Out of the door, he walked along the shadows of the wall to the middle courtyard. He remembered the promise, and now it was time to go and give the old man an answer.

The middle courtyard is much more lively than the backyard.

Even though it was in the hazy night, the courtyard was brightly lit and noisy. Xiao Cezi frowned, and he faintly repulsed this mundane atmosphere like an alley wine shop. He kept his head down and walked as far as he could.

Passing through the middle courtyard, there is the front yard of Tianhong Academy in front.

The front yard is a place where classes are held, and it is also a place where homework is taught and corrected, but no one wants to live in the front yard - except for the old man, the mountain chief of Tianhong Academy, Gongsun Xuan.

Gongsun Xuan has an independent small building on the east side of the front yard, and Xiao Cezi has seen it from a distance a few times when he used to sweep the floor, so as to know the path.

Unlike the desertion of the backyard and the noise of the middle yard, the atmosphere of the front yard is extremely silent in the night. There were no voices, no insects, and it was as quiet as if it had been painted.

Except for the light in the small building

The dim light shone through the thin window, casting mottled marks on the ground. The surrounding night seems to have come to life, and it no longer feels lifeless.

In the dark night, it seems that only there is the only place for wanderers!

Xiao Cezi took a deep breath, and then slowly walked towards Xiao Lou.

Standing in front of the door, a moment of hesitation flashed in his heart - pushing the door open means giving up his past self.

To push, or not to push?

He was stunned.

"Squeak"

The door was slowly opened.

The old man stood right behind the door. He looked at Xiao Cezi calmly, his eyes were like an ancient well without waves for 10,000 years.

"If you've thought about it, follow me. The old man turned and walked towards the gate of the academy.

Xiao Cezi gritted his teeth and followed.

They walked through the night of Luzhou City one after the other.

They walked through the bustling green buildings and through the narrow, low alleys of the slums. In the end, Gongsun Xuan led him to an abandoned mansion.

"There are two robbers in there, you go in and kill them. Gongsun Xuan slowly took out a short knife from his sleeve and handed it to Xiao Cezi behind.

The short knife was as cold as snow, and the bright blade reflected Xiao Cezi's indifferent face. Xiao Cezi took the knife without saying a word, and then pushed the door in.

The house was dilapidated and overgrown with weeds. The rest of the place was dark, except for the east wing, where there was still a little light.

Xiao Cezi slowly walked to the door of the east wing, and when he heard the sound of harmony inside, he clenched the short knife in his hand, and then kicked the door open.

He was stunned, and the two people in the room were also stunned.

"Boy, you're on the wrong side, aren't you?" shouted the gruff man sitting at the table with a wine bowl. He was bareheaded, with a slender scar in the corner of his eye, and a simple knife in his left hand on the table.

"Big brother, what are you talking about him?" Another tall and thin man also looked at Xiao Cezi. He had triangular eyes, inverted eight eyebrows, and a black mark on his left cheek, which he probably thought was a prisoner who had escaped from the frontier.

Looking at the two fierce and vicious people in the room, Xiao Cezi couldn't help but feel a little confused. He didn't know what Gongsun Xuan meant by letting him kill these two people, and he obviously couldn't beat them.

Is it to send yourself to death?

His eyes stared at the two people in the room, and countless thoughts crossed his mind in an instant. But before Xiao Cezi could think about it again, the tall and thin man moved.

The tall and thin man pulled out a short gun from under the table, and walked slowly towards Xiao Cezi against the wall. Xiao Cezi smelled the faint smell of blood gradually approaching, and his eyelids couldn't help but jump wildly. He tried to turn and flee, but his legs seemed to have taken root, and he couldn't move a bit.

"Boy, you're out of luck. No matter how you find here, you won't be able to leave tonight!" the tall and thin man shouted, but he raised his gun and turned around and stabbed it!

"Ding!"

The tip of the gun was actually blocked by the Pu knife.

The rough man stood up at some point, he held a knife in his left hand, and a sneer still hung on the corner of his mouth: "Second brother, do you really not know that this kid is the trust you found?"

The thin and tall man didn't defend himself, he stared coldly at the man he had just called "big brother", and then quickly drew back the short gun and blocked it in front of his chest.

The two confronted each other like this, and neither of them was in a hurry to make a move.

Xiao Cezi looked at the two people in a daze, and suddenly felt a spirit. If you don't leave now, when will you wait?

However, he did not fulfill Gongsun Xuan's entrustment.

Go, or stay?

He clenched the knife in his hand.

What the hell should I do? Will I just keep watching? What if these two people come to their senses and find that they are insignificant people and want to kill themselves first?

Xiao Cezi froze in place, his head racing in thought, and soon after, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

The room was quiet inside and out, except for the slight crackling sound of the candles on the table from time to time. Xiao Cezi looked at the broken candle in a daze, and suddenly thought about it.

He threw the short knife in his hand at the candlestick!

"Bang!" the candlestick knocked over to the ground, and the room went dark.

The two robbers in the confrontation were nervous, and they were not surprised by this sudden change. By the time they came to their senses, they couldn't see their fingers in the room.

Waiting in the dark is often the most patient-draining.

"Huh!" the rough man struck first. With his memory, he slashed the Pu knife in the direction of the thin and tall man!

Park knife slashed into the air.

The rough man was in a hurry. He calmly drew his knife back to the defense, but it was a step too late.

"Whoa!" a sharp spear head burst out of his chest. The gruff man looked down at the spear with a look of disbelief on his face.

"Big brother, didn't expect it, did you? I was the one who survived in the end, hahaha!" the tall thin man stood behind the rough man, smirking arrogantly.

"Er, you, you are so ruthless!" the rough man's breathing was already messed up. His chest heaved incessantly, blood running down the wound, soaking through the corners of his clothes. He knew that he was running out of time, so he gritted his teeth and suddenly turned around, and his Pu knife suddenly slashed towards the thin and tall man!

"Ding!" As expected, the feeling of cutting into the flesh did not come, and his simple knife slashed hard against the wall instead. His mouth was numb from the shock, and his wrist began to tremble.

He's a real loser now.

"Bang!" the rough man glared and fell to the ground, already dead from exhaustion.

"Do you want to kill me? Will I give you a chance?" Hahaha!" the tall and thin man stood up from the ground. He deliberately spoke just now to reveal his position, just to draw the final blow of the rough man. After he finished provoking, he squatted directly on the ground, just dodging the rough man's knife.

The tall and thin man triumphantly reached out and drew his short gun, completely ignoring the little trick outside the door. In his opinion, the boy who was so scared that he couldn't even move his legs really didn't pose any threat to himself.

He bent down and reached out to pull out the spear stuck in the back of the rough man. Then he turned and looked at the door.

The doorway was empty.

That boy is gone!

He was faintly uneasy.

Gripping his gun, he leaned against the wall and headed for the door. He didn't see that behind his back, a short knife was slowly reaching for his waist.

"Whew!" The short knife suddenly accelerated, and stabbed hard into the ribs of the tall and thin man!

The tall and thin man staggered around and looked at the young man with an indifferent face in astonishment. He couldn't figure out how this man had quietly jumped into the house.

Xiao Cezi stared at him expressionlessly, quickly pulled out a short knife with his left hand, and then stabbed it fiercely!

"You .......... The tall and thin man stumbled backwards, feeling his strength run out of blood. One last glance at Xiao Cezi, he fell to the ground unwillingly.

"The qualifications are acceptable, and it is not bad to know how to rely on the right time and place. ”

Gongsun Xuan didn't know when he came to the door, he glanced at the two people lying in the room lightly, and then looked at Xiao Cezi calmly: "You have to remember that sometimes, just having a heart that wants to kill is not enough. ”

He reached out and took out a worn-out scroll from his arms, threw it casually to the young man who was looking at him indifferently, and then turned around and walked outside: "This "Fu Demon Ping Demon Sword Technique", I want you to practice within a month." ”

Xiao Cezi looked at the "Demon Ping Demon Sword Technique" in his hand in a daze, but his hands were slowly trembling. After all, he was only a teenager, and the nausea after the first killing made him unbearable. He took the scroll back into his bosom and ran as fast as he could to the gate of the house.

"Wow!" he held on to the door, and couldn't help but vomit violently.

"It's dry, be careful,........." the husband yawned and shouted boredly. But halfway through shouting, he suddenly saw a person lying on his stomach at the door of this long-abandoned mansion. Rao is that he often walks at night, and he is also frightened at the moment.

He cautiously carried the lantern forward.

The figure slowly raised its head, revealing a terrifying face splattered with blood.

"Ahh

The husband threw down the lantern in a panic, turned around and ran away with a pale face.

Xiao Cezi was about to shout out to stop her husband, but there was another upside down in her stomach. He didn't care about anything else, and leaned down again and threw up intently......
