I Can’t Be a Sword God

After the joke, Wang Longqi continued:

"At first, they wanted to spend a lot of money to hire some dying people who were seriously ill or to buy some prison inmates...but soon they discovered that the people who come in like this will not be selected by disaster."

"The one who died in the end was actually the last one."

"In this way, they have no choice but to choose from the candidates who took the exam. Apart from being a waste, there are many considerations."

"For example, don't choose a poor family, don't choose an only child, don't choose a rich and powerful family..."

"In short, in the end, I was chosen..."

Speaking of this, he laughed at himself: "It's a pity that I believed in some kind of sage at the time."

"They all feel guilty about this dead ghost, so after so many years, an unwritten rule has formed in the academy."

"Everyone has to treat this scapegoat very preferentially, that's why they are so warm to me."

"Yesterday, after I learned the truth, I didn't dare to go out. As a result, when I got up to drink water, I slipped inexplicably and my nose bleed a lot. I thought I wouldn't waste it, so I wrote you a bloody letter, called come here."

"I don't know why, but I always feel that if anyone can save me, it's only you..."

Wang Longqi finally said.

Li Chu was noncommittal.

Wang Longqi may think too highly of himself.

Zhan Failing Realm, that is a power that truly disdains the world.

Such a disaster that people can't solve, can they come by themselves?

But he didn't say anything to attack Wang Longqi, but asked with some doubts: "Does the academy allow you to spread these news?"

"Oh." Wang Longqi smiled sarcastically again: "These scholars are so smart, someone thought decades ago that paper can never contain fire."

"From then on, not only did they not suppress it, but they deliberately spread the ghostly legends of Zhengqi Academy. They also interpreted those who committed suicide in the academy because of excessive pressure or failed in the imperial examination as ghost legends."

"As time goes by, many people have heard of the ghost stories in Zhengqi Academy, but they will only treat them as jokes. If you say it seriously, no one will believe you."

"Anyway, in the academies under the sun, more than a dozen people die every year, who would notice?"

"Most of the time, those who died themselves died in a daze. I'm afraid there are not many who know the truth like me."

Li Chu listened, and felt that this method was similar to some modern naval forces.

Although he didn't show it on the surface, there was a wave of turmoil in his heart at this time.

Not only because of what happened to Wang Longqi.

It's more because of... my own thoughts.

Just now, when he heard about the situation facing Zhengqi Academy, he had a faint idea of ​​how to deal with it.

Just didn't think about it any further.

Unexpectedly, this coincides with Zhengqi Academy's response.

That's right, that's exactly what he thought of in the first moment.

die for.

In this regard, the academy has already considered enough.

Don’t choose a son from a poor family, because he may be the hope of several generations… If you don’t choose your only child, your family will not be broken… If you don’t choose a rich and powerful family, you won’t worry about being retaliated by force…

Using an ignorant waste in exchange for a seed of study, even if it is the bottom of the Zhengqi Academy, it may not be impossible to strive to become a pillar of the dynasty in the future.

This seems to make sense...

but……

In the eyes of outsiders, Wang Longqi may indeed be a dude, with little ability and not a good character. It is useless to the family and useless to the country.

But from my point of view, he is actually a good friend.

From Wang Longqi's point of view, this is even more of an innocent disaster.

This reminded him of a classic question that tested human nature.

There are four people on one railroad track, and one person on the other railroad track. The train is coming soon, and those four people will be crushed to death.

If you flip the gate, you can change the track so that one person dies and four live.

How to choose when none of them made a mistake?

Li Chu in his previous life gave the answer without hesitation.

Do not choose.

Because whether it is one person or four people, although it seems that the latter is a little more, it is a living life.

As long as other people's lives are involved, he does not think he has the right to control.

Zoom in a little more, what can be replaced with someone who kills a person and saves a country...

But no matter how big things are, the essence is the same.

As long as it has nothing to do with him, has nothing to do with right or wrong... then let things go on his original track.

I have no power over myself.

No matter how upside down the choices are, his answer is always no choice.

But I don't know when...

My personality seems to have changed a lot.

Becoming more and more... emotionless.

When the idea of ​​surrogate death popped up in his mind, his first reaction was fear.

Because this kind of cold idea of ​​weighing the weight of life never appeared before.

Thinking deeper, it seems that it is not just this kind of reverence for life.

And more generally, friendship... family... love...

These emotions, which are commonplace for human beings, have not touched me for a long time.

Although my previous self was a bit indifferent, he would never be numb to this point.

There are also emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow, joy, fear, etc., which appear less and less.

In the past, I was obviously full of fear of the outside world, but gradually, this fear seemed to have disappeared for a long time.

On the one hand, his awareness of his own strength has improved, but on the other hand, there may be some strange things affecting him...

like……

Looking back in his memory, this subtle change probably started when he killed the water ghost... no, it started when he stepped into the seventy-first level.

Li Chu had a faint feeling that if he continued like this, he might slip into an abyss.

ruthless……

...

After a long talk with Wang Longqi, Li Chu decided to check his luck first.

Close your eyes and open your mind.

boom--

The image of the entire Zhengqi Academy entered Li Chu's mind in the form of "Qi".

Everything you see is very different from the outside.

The "qi" in the human body is dominated by yin and yang, enveloping an extremely complex mixture, in which the various qi are so complex that it is difficult to detail them.

The people in Zhengqi Academy all have a particularly obvious white gas in their bodies, which may be strong or weak, with a sharp momentum.

This kind of sharpness is righteousness.

It is an awe-inspiring righteousness that has been passed down from generation to generation since the founder of the academy.

In addition to the yin and yang of ordinary people, there is also a faint, almost transparent layer of arrogance, which may be thin or thick, except for a few people, the difference will not be too much.

This kind of qi is luck.

As the outermost qi of the human body, qi movement wraps the human body like a cover.

People with strong luck tend to walk more freely in the world, but they always go well. People with weak luck have to be careful, but they are often covered with bruises.

In fact, the thickness of the cover is different.

As for the students of Zhengqi Academy, everyone is wrapped in golden luck!

This kind of golden luck that I don't know how to produce is extraordinarily dazzling and powerful. The flame of someone's luck even lit up half of the mountain wall.

Presumably next year's imperial examination, the champion is expected.

Li Chu thought of Gongsun Zhe. He was also a champion once, but he was far from having such strong luck, let alone changing his color.

Could it be that this is also a bonus that Zhengqi Academy gives to students?

As long as a person enters Zhengqi Academy, he can obtain golden luck that is a hundred times stronger than before.

What's more, like the person who reflects the mountain wall, he can almost reach one percent of the luck of the little koi carp, which is simply against the sky!

That's right...

The most lucky person in the entire academy is actually the girl sitting next to Li Chu.

Her luck is like a vast ocean of color, with uninterrupted colorful tides tumbling, hovering steadily above her little head, like a huge halo.

It's just an ordinary colorful koi...

And the person with the weakest luck in the whole academy was also beside Li Chu.

It was Wang Longqi on the opposite side.

He has... no luck.

There is not even a trace!

This is completely abnormal. You must know that as long as a person is still alive, every breath will have a cycle of luck.

There was nothing around him, as if...someone was devouring his luck for a moment.

This is why the bottom one will die!

Everyone is wrapped in a cover of luck to walk in the world.

But Wang Longqi's cover is gone.

As we all know, this is a pretty dangerous thing to do.

...

Li Chu walked out of Zhengqi Academy slowly.

After the conversation just now, Wang Longqi planned to arrange for them to stay in Zhengqi Academy for one night.

Li Chu was a little puzzled: "Can Zhengqi Academy be used as an inn?"

Wang Longqi smiled charmingly: "You forgot? Now, who would dare not listen to my young master's words?"

Seeing that he was still in the mood to smile, Li Chu felt a little relieved.

Leaving the little koi to clean up the room, he came out alone.

It is not only to get an umbrella, but also to relax quietly.

Although he was a little worried about Wang Longqi's matter, he was not that urgent.

It will take at least a few months for luck to kill someone.

He plans to go back to the temple tomorrow and ask the master if there is any solution.

Although all the powers in the decline state are helpless, but the master...maybe he knows?

It seems to have become a kind of inertia. Whenever he encounters something he can't figure out, there will be a voice in his heart.

Why not ask the miraculous old Taoist?

What really worried him was his discovery just now.

My feelings are losing...

This shocked him suddenly.

Does this mean that I may become another person, or something else that is not even a person?

And where does this loss come from...

He also didn't know.

If it is related to the way of fighting monsters and upgrading, then... why did it come so late?

It is not far from Zhengqi Academy to Weeping Willow Alley at Taipingmen.

He walked while meditating, and gradually arrived.

There is indeed an old weeping willow at the entrance of the alley, its ribbons fluttering in the wind, and its color has faded.

The moment Li Chu's feet came under the willow tree.

In a small alley, in a certain courtyard, a little girl in Tsing Yi suddenly raised her head, her eyes were bright.

She hurriedly turned around, ran and shouted into the room: "Miss, miss! The little Taoist priest is here!"

Inside the house, there was an endless clattering sound at this moment.

Looking inside, it turned out to be a table of mahjong tiles.

Sitting at this table are four people of all shapes and sizes, each with its own characteristics.

In the east is an old man with wrinkled face but clear eyes. He looks dry and thin, but he looks energetic.

At first glance, it is the kind of old man who will live a long life.

In the south is a strong man with a thick back and a waist, with a very broad inverted triangle shape. He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, but he doesn't look fierce, but rather simple and honest—maybe it's because of his pitiful expression at this time.

The strongest man in the table, his mouth was flattened, his nose was shut, with an expression of being greatly wronged.

A sickly young man in the west, wearing a Confucian shirt and a scarf, has a pale face.

Thin as if a gust of wind could blow him away.

Every time he drew a card, he had to cough and cough for a long time before he could play it.

To the north is a beautiful woman, none other than Qin Shuangbai whom Li Chu met on the boat.

It's just that Miss Qin, when she met Li Chu...

The painting style is very different.

She rolled up her two sleeves, exposing half of the forearm of bullying Saixue, her eyes were solemn, staring straight at the game of cards.

I don't care about the messy sideburns, only one hairpin is casually pinned, with a carefree air.

Whoever played the cards slowly, she urged from time to time: "Cough after the cards are played."

"Don't look, Wanzi is here with me..."

"hey-hey……"

She will smile, as if she is about to gain something, when she hears the little maid running in: "Miss! The little Taoist priest is here!"

"Ah! How is he so fast?"

Qin Shuangbai was startled, and hurriedly stood up, stroked her hair, and straightened her sleeves.

"No." She called out, "Yuqing, come help me with my makeup."

As if thinking of something, she raised her hand again, pointed at the three people in front of her, and asked, "What am I to you?"

The old man: "Uncle!"

Strong man: "Big cousin!"

Sick young man: "Second cousin!"

"My God..." Qin Shuangbai stroked his forehead and slapped the table heavily with his backhand.

"It's my niece!"

"Yes, yes, yes." The strong man nodded hastily, "It's my niece."

Qin Shuang stared at him: "It's your sister!"

The strong man's expression became even more aggrieved, as if he was about to cry: "Don't scold people..."

Qin Shuang, who is beautiful and beautiful, rolled his eyes...

She waved her hand: "Yuqing, I'm going to do my own dressing. You stay here, teach me the three of them before you open the door."

"Okay, miss, don't worry." Yu Qing nodded heavily.

...

Bang, boom, boom.

"Weeping Willow Alley, the second house on the right..." Li Chu murmured, a little puzzled.

He knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered.

That's right.

Is there no one at home?

He was puzzled, and finally called out.

"Is anyone here?"

3934 words, stuck at less than 4,000... Including the chapter in the morning, it is almost 8,000 words, and the task will be completed today...

I just saw a reader suggested that it would be better to unify the time period every day. I think this is indeed the case. Starting tomorrow, I will set a time to post all the chapters, so as to save everyone.

It is true that I am inexperienced in this area, but as long as you mention it, in order to make you comfortable, I can do any posture...
