Chapter 029: Bai Feiyan's Fear
Gu Feiyu took a deep breath, and now no matter whether he asked about this matter or not, whether he knew it or not, he couldn't admit it, and still said firmly: "I really haven't encountered it, has something happened to Senior Brother Su recently?"
The others were also nervous in their hearts, for fear that Su Shujie was really investigating the killing of Wang Hai, and Gu Shi was even more nervous in his heart and bowed his head slightly.
Su Shujie looked at them, making sure that he had never seen them, so he sighed and said: "There are many fewer people participating in the county exam this year than in previous years, although it was also decreasing before, but the gap is not so big, and the people who come this year are not even one-third of the previous one, which is too abnormal." ”
Gu Feiyu showed a surprised look on his face, but he was relieved in his heart, it seemed that he was nervous, and said: "I also heard Sun Jiumingshu who brought us here, I heard that you have sent someone to investigate, I don't know if you have found anything?"
Su Shujie glanced at him, nodded, and said: "Yes, according to statistics, about 2,000 people in Yong'an County have passed the Dao Heart Test this year, but only about 600 people have arrived now, and most of them are not not not here, but were killed in an accident on the way!"
"What? More than a thousand people were killed on the way?" Gu Feiyu and the others exclaimed, this was unbelievable.
But Su Shujie nodded and said: "Yes, and the vast majority of people didn't even leave their bodies behind, they disappeared mysteriously, and it is unknown who they are so far, whether it is one person or multiple people, only some of them are lucky to come here, and the rest are gone." ”
Faced with this situation, Gu Feiyu and the others could only be silent, maybe it was really their luck.
Su Shujie straightened his face and said to them: "Although you have arrived in Yong'an County, you don't have to be careless, you can come and tell me if you have any problems and ask me for help." ”
Gu Feiyu and the others nodded gratefully, Su Shujie is indeed a very good person, and he has a good impression on them.
Then Su Shujie said: "Due to the special relationship this year, if those missing people have not arrived in three days, there may be some changes in this year's county examination. ”
Su Shujie had already told them in detail what he should have explained, and Gu Fei said in a timely manner: "Thank you Senior Brother Su for telling us this, we are inconvenient to continue to disturb, so we will leave." ”
After leaving from Su Shujie, Gu Feiyu and the others first found an inn to live in, there are still three days before the county test, and the deacons of the county test are probably already urgently discussing a new trial method at this time, and the temporary change of the county test is also a goal for them to be prepared for, so these three days are also much easier and can have a good rest.
"Knock Knock"
There was a knock on the door, Gu Feiyu opened the door and saw Bai Feiyan's beautiful face, and said, "Why haven't you slept yet?"
Bai Feiyan smiled slightly, didn't answer in a hurry, walked in first, sat at the table, looked at him with a pair of beautiful eyes, Gu Feiyu closed the door and sat aside with her.
Gu Feiyu was a little unnatural by her, and said, "What's the matter?" ”
Bai Feiyan retracted his gaze, pursed his lips, his eyes trembled lightly, as if he was a little afraid, and said: "I always have a strange feeling these days, I always look at you like seeing a book, sometimes I look at it with all my strength and concentrate on it, and a terrible scene appears, at that moment I can only see a book but not you." ”
Gu Feiyu looked at herself unconsciously, her eyes didn't look like a joke at all, Gu Feiyu took a deep breath, stared at her and asked, "What you said is true?"
Bai Feiyan nodded heavily and said: "I know this is a bit incredible, but I do see it, even if I can see it now as long as I am serious, I really don't dare to stare at you intently, then I can only see one book, this feels a little terrifying, Brother Feiyu, I am a little scared." ”
Bai Feiyan's delicate body trembled slightly, obviously what she said didn't seem to be a lie, Gu Feiyu pulled her hand and held it, a little cold, a little slippery.
"Don't be afraid, I'm fine, you see I'm not alive in front of you now. Gu Fei comforted softly.
Feeling the temperature from his hand, Bai Feiyan's mood improved a lot, and he nodded slightly.
"When did you start to feel this way?" asked Gu Feiyu.
Bai Feiyan was not so scared now, and said: "Since that day I helped you heal your injuries, when I was healing, my true qi once entered your body and fused together, and when I went back to rest, I saw you for the first time in a dream and became a book, I began to think that it was just a dream, but every time I read you along the way, there really was only one book." ”
Gu Feiyu nodded thoughtfully, sighed lightly, and said: "Actually, I have had countless dreams since I was a child, but no one knows that my dreams have always been the same, and every time they are surprisingly consistent, there is only one book!"
"What?" Bai Feiyan opened his mouth and looked at Gu Feiyu in surprise.
Gu Feiyu nodded with a wry smile and said, "Maybe my strange illness is that this book is causing trouble, I always have a feeling that after I die, I will become this book and be replaced by it." ”
The worry in Bai Feiyan's exquisite eyes became heavier, and Gu Feiyu had already gotten used to it, smiled faintly, and said, "Don't worry, since I have stepped into the path of cultivation, how can I be afraid of a book if the heavens can go against me? As long as my cultivation is high enough, I can always compete with it, maybe I will be able to subdue it in the future." ”
Bai Feiyan glanced at him, as if thinking about something, and then said, "I'll help you!"
"Otherwise, I'd better give you back the marriage certificate, I shouldn't have dragged you to take risks with me, although I can suppress it now, but not necessarily in the future. Gu Feiyu bit it, although he couldn't bear it in his heart, he still said.
Bai Feiyan looked at him in a daze, his eyes were slightly red, and said, "Are you willing?"
Gu Feiyu opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak, and finally shook his head.
Bai Feiyan's eyes were still moist, but he couldn't help but smile and said, "Then keep it, I'm sure you can." ”
Gu Feiyu looked at her and suddenly asked, "Then do you like me?" or are you just listening to your mother's wishes?"
Bai Feiyan lowered his head, thought very seriously, and then said: "I don't know, I haven't had much contact with people except for cultivation since I was a child, and sometimes being a genius may not be an easy thing. Her eyes were a little lonely, and she paused and continued, "But I'm with Brother Feiyu now, and I will be in the future!" ”
The three days passed quickly, but in front of the gate of the county examination was the smallest number of people in the year, and those who mysteriously disappeared did not arrive, which made the atmosphere a little depressing.
Gu Feiyu sighed lightly, it seemed that those people would never appear in front of people's eyes again.
Gu Feng glanced at the crowd, and then said: "The county exam for a few years should be the easiest year, let alone increase the difficulty of such a small number of people, even if the previous requirements are maintained, there will not be many people left in the end, and there is competition between counties before." ”
Gu Jianbao said in surprise: "There will also be competition between counties?"
Not only Gu Jianbao was surprised, but even Gu Feiyu and Bai Feiyan were very curious.
Gu Feng nodded and said: "After the county test, there will be a state test, and the final ranking will be produced in the state test, and these rankings will also affect the ranking of more than a hundred counties in Yunzhou, and the county lord of each county cares about this ranking very much, because the Xiuzhen sect will reward the top counties with various cultivation resources according to the ranking, pills, magic weapons or Taoist techniques are all possible, and only if they are valued by the Xiuzhen sect can they develop and grow." ”
Gu Jianbao said suspiciously: "Is the support of the Xiuzhen Sect really so important?"
"Very important, now the number one is Jiuyang County, who knows no one in Yunzhou, but it used to be the most backward and poor county, until one year this county produced a powerful genius who helped Jiuyang County win the third place in one fell swoop, and since then it has won the support of the Xiuzhen Sect, and it has never fallen off every year since then!" Gu Feng said solemnly.
Gu Feiyu and the others were shocked in their hearts, they didn't expect the ranking of the state exam to be so important.
At this moment, Gu Feiyu suddenly had a thought, could it be that other counties secretly killed those who participated in the county test in order to fight Yong'an County, but after thinking about it, this is too unbelievable, how can anyone be so ruthless, he shook his head and didn't dare to say the nonsense in his heart.
There was a commotion in the county examination hall, and people were discussing topics of concern until someone came to see them quiet.
The group walked out, and Gu Feiyu saw that Su Shujie was also among them, and after they walked out, they instantly attracted most of the attention.
A middle-aged man walked out, although he had a smile on his face, Gu Feiyu could see that he didn't seem to be really happy, waved his hand to signal people to be quiet, and then said: "All the young geniuses who participated in the county examination, I am Yuan Jinlong, the county lord of Yong'an County, I think everyone has already understood the accidents that occurred in our county examination this year, and what can be determined at present is that they have all been killed, as for the murderers, we are still investigating, and the masters of the Xiuzhen Sect will not let them go." ”
Speaking of murderers, everyone was full of righteous criticism, and the county lord Yuan Jinlong paused slightly, and then continued: "In order to ensure enough strength to compete for the ranking of our Yongan County in the next state examination, I temporarily discussed with the people of the Xiuzhen Sect and decided to change the way of this county examination. ”
Gu Feiyu and Bai Feiyan looked at each other and smiled, sure enough, it was a change, what Gu Feng said was right, and the change in the county test would definitely give them an unexpected gain.
