Chapter 43 I Want to Become an Immortal (XII)
Liu Sheng looked at Zhang Tinglin and You Yingcai, who were tied up tightly by small tentacles and cursing loudly, with his arms folded and an indifferent look on his face.
"Why are you tying us up? We have no grudge against you!"
Zhang Tinglin was skilled in martial arts, so it took Liu Sheng some effort to catch him, so he tied him up extra tightly. His honest face turned red, like an angry boiled shrimp.
"You... are ghosts! You are ghosts!" You Yingcai cried with tears in his eyes, "Sister Shechan! Brother Jiangtao! Save me!"
"There is no hatred or grudge now, but I don't know what will happen later."
"I totally don't understand what you are talking about! Are you crazy!" Zhang Tinglin's eyes flickered, but he still looked like his veins were bulging and he was struggling desperately.
You Yingcai was still crying.
"Su Jin...exactly...what did they do wrong..." She Chan hesitated, and finally couldn't help asking, "We are all from the same sect, why don't we calm down and talk it out."
Liu Sheng looked at She Chan and Jiang Tao beside him.
Jiang Tao had just suffered a mental trauma while comprehending the stone tablet and could only sit aside to rest. However, he looked at Liu Sheng with fear in his eyes and shrank his neck, as if he wanted to shrink into the ground and disappear in front of Liu Sheng.
She Chan turned her concern to the two people, and when she looked at Liu Sheng, there was worry and fear in her eyes.
Liu Sheng realized that they had not experienced what she had experienced in the Tianyan Stone, so they naturally felt that Liu Sheng, who had black tentacles when she raised her hand, was more terrifying.
Liu Sheng's face turned cold. She didn't need to care about other people's opinions. The most important thing was to survive.
She recalled the method Zhang Tinglin and You Yingcai had mentioned, and asked, "Where did you hear that you wanted to use our blood to water the stone tablet?"
"How did you know..."
Zhang Tinglin was stunned for a moment, blurting out the words. You Yingcai beside him coughed a few times, and Zhang Tinglin reacted and changed his words nervously: "Why are you talking nonsense? I have no idea what you are talking about."
She Chan and Jiang Tao's faces changed when they heard this, and from their reactions they knew that there was something fishy.
"Speak or not? I'm only warning you once."
Liu Sheng grabbed at the air, and "Mom" snaked up, coiled around their necks, and slowly tightened.
Zhang Tinglin kept glancing at You Yingcai, and although his face turned red, he dared not speak.
You Yingcai was so frightened that his face turned pale. He put away his pretend tears and finally couldn't help but screamed, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"
Liu Sheng retracted his tentacles slightly, but still slid them across their necks as a warning.
You Yingcai took a deep breath and started coughing due to the choking.
Zhang Tinglin also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw You Yingcai give in.
"We paid tribute before we came in."
"Pay tribute?" Liu Sheng asked curiously.
She Chan and Jiang Tao also looked puzzled and listened with their ears pricked up.
You Yingcai nodded and said in a trembling voice: "We...we also read from the book in the library that there are ways to cheat in the examination for promotion. All you have to do is go to the Jingshitang in the Chongdao Temple and pay tribute..."
With a bang, without any warning, You Yingcai, who was speaking, suddenly exploded into a cloud of blood mist.
There was another bang, and Zhang Tinglin, who was stunned with blood all over his face, was also blown into a bloody mist.
The moonlight was cool, illuminating the bloodstains on the ground; even the stone tablet was sprayed with a layer of blood red.
Liu Sheng's eyes widened, and hot blood splashed on his face and body. The small tentacles held it loosely, and then released it, and the two remaining pieces of flesh fell to the ground with a plop.
"Ugh," Jiang Tao, who was already mentally fragile, couldn't help but vomit when he saw this.
She Chan was terrified and squatted in a corner trembling, afraid that this power that came from nowhere would turn her into a bloody mist.
At this moment, the square was dead silent, with only their rapid breathing and heartbeats echoing in their ears.
Liu Sheng clenched his fists and retracted his little tentacles.
She knew that they had said things they shouldn't have said, so they were silenced.
Liu Sheng took a deep breath and tried his best to calm down.
Now is not the time to panic, but to keep a clear head and walk out.
Chongdao Temple... Jingshi Hall...
As far as Liu Sheng knew, the Chongdao Temple was where students came to worship the ancient gods of this world and the sages and predecessors of the Qixuan Mountain.
As the name suggests, the Teacher Respecting Hall is located in the ancestral hall, so it should be the place where the tablets of the predecessors of the Qixuan Academy are enshrined. If the current lecturers of the Qixuan Academy are all ghosts, then their tablets are most likely among them!
The so-called tribute is to pay tribute to the lecturers, asking them to accept bribes and reveal the test questions!
But according to what Liu Sheng heard later, it seemed that they did not get what they wanted in the end.
Liu Sheng was a little skeptical. Given that these lecturers seemed to wish they would die but were bound by the rules, would they really reveal the solution so easily?
Liu Sheng remembered what the female lecturer had said yesterday.
[Haha, you were not going to make it originally, but you have practiced your spiritual consciousness, and you managed to get through it.]
[You are the one I like. As long as you come to Qingxu Hall, I will marry you. Don't be afraid! ]
Although it was unknown why the female lecturer was particularly hostile to her, these words revealed a message - these lecturers could use the existing rules to kill them to a certain extent.
According to her physique, there was a certain chance that she would not be able to pass, and the female lecturer might have increased the chance a little, making this possibility inevitable, but no one expected that Liu Sheng could survive by relying on meditation.
Since the female lecturer has already made a bold statement that she will kill Liu Sheng, then this test will be her last chance to kill Liu Sheng in Qingxu Hall. But she can't do it herself. And these two fools just happened to be coming forward, so why not turn them into her own knives?
As for why they were killed, perhaps some kind of connection was established when they paid tribute, perhaps they swore an oath to the devil, or perhaps these words were originally banned words. In short, they were directly solved.
Anyway, the reason is no longer important.
Liu Sheng was still thinking about how to crack it.
If the ability of this Tianyan Stone is to deduce, then the statement that words appear when soaked in blood is somewhat inconsistent with the style. It feels too bloody and crude, lowering the grade.
Perhaps it was the Tianyan Stone that reminded her of the "world" far away in her "hometown", and she had a bit of a "maternal love" filter.
Liu Sheng wants to conduct more in-depth tests.
"If you believe in what I say, please help me protect the law and don't disturb me. I will try my best to get you out." Liu Sheng said seriously to She Chan and Jiang Tao.
When She Chan saw Liu Sheng's serious expression, she somehow felt a strong sense of conviction.
"Okay, I can swear an oath in my heart. As long as you can help me pass this test, I will never hurt you and will protect you until my death." She Chan actually swore directly.
Seeing She Chan being so excited, Jiang Tao had no choice but to raise his hand and swear as well.
Liu Sheng calmed down, sat down cross-legged, held the Qixuan Order in his palm, began to meditate again, and put his mind into the Tianyan Stone.
