Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 155
Perhaps it was because of the wind that blew up last night, but the next day, the originally crisp autumn weather was now covered with dark clouds.

The thick black clouds pressed down on the sky like a big mountain, making the candidates in the Tribute Academy a little breathless, and there was a depressing atmosphere in the air.

It looked like it was going to rain cats and dogs.

"It's a really uncomfortable feeling."

In the examination room, Li Xiuyuan meditated for an hour and recovered his spirit and physical strength. He looked up at the sky and couldn't help muttering.

He felt that the weather seemed a little abnormal, and staying in this oppressive environment, let alone answering the test in silence, it was not easy to sit quietly.

I feel like this myself, but other scholars are even worse.

There were some noises in the Gongyuan.

"Damn the weather, why did it suddenly become so sweltering, and let people live, obviously last night was fine."

Some candidates were upset and couldn't help complaining.

"Damn it, it's going to rain. It's really not the right time. It's not good when it's going to rain, but it's at this time."

Even the patrolling guards cursed.

And in another examination room of the Gong Yuan.

Ye Huai'an, who called the scholar who was 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, was sweating profusely on his forehead at this moment, but he was still writing straight, writing on the examination papers, and muttering to himself.

"I will definitely be a scholar, I will definitely be a scholar, 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, don't bully young people and poor people, I will definitely make others look good."

It was okay at first, but later on, his eyes gradually turned red, and the speed of his brush strokes became faster and stronger, and his strength became stronger and stronger.

"Whoa~!"

The examination paper was torn apart by him using too much force.

But Ye Huai'an kept panting heavily, his eyes were still red as he splashed ink on the broken examination paper, what he wrote was not articles at all, but the essence, all things that he couldn't understand like ghostly symbols.

"Haha, I passed the examination of scholar, I passed the examination of scholar"

Suddenly, Ye Huai'an dropped the writing brush in his hand, grabbed the test paper on the desk, and shouted excitedly while tearing the test paper into pieces.

The expression is crazy, like a lunatic.

"Who, who is yelling in the Gongyuan."

The guards rushed over soon after hearing the sound, seeing Ye Huai'an tearing up the examination papers in the examination room, his delirious expression immediately changed.

"This examinee has hysteria and is crazy, take him down." A class leader said.

Even if an officer responded, he set up Ye Huai'an and sent him out of the examination room.

Ye Huai'an, who was still insane before, started to twitch again at this moment, and it didn't seem like he was suffering from hysteria, as if he had contracted some disease.

"Leader, you see that the candidate's hand seems to have been bitten by a dog. He is going crazy." Seeing the wound on Ye Huai'an's hand, an officer hurriedly said again.

The team leader scolded: "This unlucky guy, who dares to come to the hospital examination with a strange disease, quickly throw this man out of the tribute courtyard through the back door, don't let him go crazy in the tribute courtyard, or the examiner will scold me again if he sees it waited."

"Yes, squad leader." The guard nodded and hurriedly took Ye Huai'an away.

When passing by, Li Xiuyuan looked at Ye Huai'an who was in a frenzy and couldn't help but hesitated: "No way, is it really rabies?"

During the last outing, the hounds of the Chu family rioted, and everyone else was fine, except that Ye Huai'an was bitten.

This disease does not occur early or late, but it happens at this time.

Now let alone 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, it is a question of whether you can survive. Even if you survive, you will never have the chance to take the imperial examination for the rest of your life.

May I ask which examiner dares to admit a scholar who has rabies?
Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help shaking his head slightly.

Maybe this is life.

And if there is no accident, if I say goodbye today, I'm afraid I will never see this guy who made my thoughts unreasonable in the future.

"It relieves me so much." Li Xiuyuan was in a good mood.

This Ye Huai'an is not a good person, he will be rewarded for his grievances, even if he has a small belly, and he tried to molest Qingmei when he was in Lanruo Temple that day. , it is absolutely impossible to be a good official.

However, Ye Huai'an's case didn't seem to be a special case.

Zhu Yu didn't know what was going on at the moment, but thinking of some nasty things between himself and the male ghost a few days ago, maybe coupled with the sweltering heat, at this moment his mind was empty and he couldn't write a reason, his stomach suddenly felt nauseated, and he couldn't bear it. I couldn't help vomiting.

"Uh~!" The filth instantly covered the examination paper in front of him.

"It's over, it's over."

After vomiting, Zhu Yu was dumbfounded, and the brush in his hand fell to the ground uncontrollably.

The exam papers are all dirty, I'm afraid this exam is a mess

In the examination room not far away, a friend who was traveling with him was even more desolate. Thinking that he had been in love with a dog for several days, he felt that there was nothing more tragic than this in the world.

He was furious for a while, so he wrote straight and stopped answering the test paper. He wrote three words on the test paper: miserable, miserable, miserable.

After finishing writing, he threw away the pen, lay down on the table and cried bitterly.

But Li Xiuyuan had no time to take care of the various situations in the examination room at the moment. Although the weather was sweltering, he still calmed down and finished answering the last examination paper before dark today.

"call."

After the last stroke was made, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

After the check was correct, he just rang a small bell hanging next to the lab's test room.

"No way, someone finished writing the exam paper so soon?" Some other candidates raised their heads in surprise when they heard the bell.

Someone handed in the papers the next day, which is really fast enough. Strictly speaking, this is only the first day. The exam started very late yesterday, and almost at night, there are not many exams that will answer the questions at night, so as to avoid many mistakes. , Most of them are trying to answer the questions on straw paper, waiting for today to transcribe, but after going back and forth, most of the scholars have just finished the first exam paper, how can they be so fast.

"I'm afraid he is a self-defeating scholar." Someone couldn't help guessing like this.

The guards rushed over when they heard the bell.

They gave a salute first, and then said: "Scholar, do you want to hand in the paper?"

"Exactly." Li Xiuyuan nodded.

He has already done everything that should be done, and it doesn't matter if he submits the paper early or late.

"Please wait a moment."

After an officer finished speaking, he left immediately, but when he came back, he brought a clerk over.

The official came to Li Xiuyuan's side and asked him again if he would hand in the papers. After getting affirmation, he used a tool to sort out Li Xiuyuan's papers, then put them in a wooden box and took them away.

"Even if you hand in the papers in advance, you can't leave the examination room. You have to wait until the hospital examination is over before you can leave." An officer said.

Li Xiuyuan nodded and sat in the examination room.

At this moment, in retrospect, he felt a little hungry in his stomach. He took out the food box that Du Chunhua had prepared before, and after opening it contained exquisite stewed meat, noodles, various cold dishes, and two jugs of small wine. Some fresh melons and fruits.

I have to say that with Du Chunhua by his side to take care of these trivial matters, Li Xiuyuan felt particularly relieved.

Xiaodie can only act cute and warm the bed, but she can't do these things.

Feeling a little tired after eating and drinking, Li Xiuyuan propped his head up and took a nap.

But in the evening, above the dark sky, there was no wind, no thunder, and suddenly there was heavy rain pouring down.

The sweltering weather was finally relieved, but there was a fishy smell in the rain.

The appearance of this peculiar smell made many people in Guobei city feel suspicious.

"Crash~!"

In the middle of the night, the heavy rain has not stopped.

In the Gongyuan, some places have accumulated water, and in some dilapidated examination rooms, there are scholars who are angrily cursing God because the rain has wet the examination papers.

"This rain is a bit unusual." Li Xiuyuan's eyes moved slightly.

He saw traces of black air in the rain. This black air seemed to be a resentment that had lingered for a long time. At this moment, it was pouring down with the rain, covering the entire Guo Beicheng.

"Hey, what is that?"

Suddenly, Li Xiuyuan's eyes moved, and he saw a figure walking out of a dilapidated examination room in the Gongyuan. It was extremely fast, and got into a nearby examination room, but came out again after a while.

This black shadow is a man wearing a long gown. This man has dark skin and jet-black complexion. At this moment, he is striding along the aisle, letting the rain from the sky wash away, and the rain falls on his body. Turned into pitch black ink.

"No way, there are still ghosts in the tribute courtyard?" Li Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment.

Immediately, he saw the black shadow walk into an examination room opposite, let out a strange smile, and stretched out his hand to smear on the scholar's examination paper, only to see that the ink on the examination paper melted immediately , It became a blur, and I couldn't see clearly anymore.

The examinee was still asleep and didn't know all this.

After finishing this matter, the black shadow went to the examination room again.

"The resentment in the rain gave this ghost the ability to act mischievously. Otherwise, there would be a lot of scholars in this tribute courtyard, and it is inevitable that there would not be a few people with noble fate. Under normal circumstances, there would be no ghosts here." Li Xiuyuan secretly said .

This black shadow neither confuses nor harms anyone, it just walked into the examination room like a prank, confusing the test papers of the students who were dozing off.

Obviously this ghost is bad for the candidate's future.

"We can't let this ghost continue to mess around." Li Xiuyuan frowned.

He didn't say much, just took out the inkstone again, took water to grind the ink, and dripped a drop of blood in it.

At this moment, the black shadow sneaked into Li Xiuyuan's examination room with a whoosh, and stretched out his wet palm, trying to mess with his examination paper.

Li Xiuyuan stared at the black figure suddenly and said: "You are just a brat, relying on the heavy rain tonight, to spoil other people's future at will, you really don't want to live."

The shadow turned pale with fright and wanted to run away.

"Want to go now?"

Li Xiuyuan took a brush to dye the ink, and with a wave of his hand, the ink splashed, and it fell on the black figure like boiling oil, making him wailing so hot that he almost collapsed.

"Forgive me, forgive me, I used to be an examinee here, but I died in the Gongyuan because of an illness. Because the examination paper was not finished, my obsession was not dispelled, and my soul was attached to a brush. It just appeared today. Please This young master thinks I am ignorant and ignorant, please forgive me once."

The black shadow screamed and begged for mercy.

"I can't spare you. Tonight, I don't know how many scholars have lost their fame because of your affairs. Who is to blame when you died of an illness in the Gongyuan? How can you vent your grievances to other candidates, and just now I saw that you messed up other people's exam papers. Your movements are extremely skillful, I don't think you are ignorant and ignorant, and you are full of nonsense, and none of the words are credible, so you should be wiped out." Li Xiuyuan swiped the brush again.

Thick ink was splashed, and the black shadow screamed, and his body exploded, only to see a rotten brush fell to the ground and broke into several sections.

"It's really an evil ghost possessing a brush."

Li Xiuyuan frowned, and cleaned the disgusting thing out of the examination room.

He didn't feel any regret about getting rid of this brat. What this brat did was worse than killing a person.

If it is not removed today, I don't know how many scholars' fame will be harmed if they wander around in this tribute courtyard in the future.

At that time, let talented scholars be buried, and some scholars with corrupt moral character pass the exam, wouldn't it be a disaster for the government?Harm a place?
"However, the appearance of this kid is not a coincidence."

Li Xiuyuan looked at the torrential rain in the tribute courtyard, and felt a little heavy. There was resentment in the rain, and it definitely did not appear for no reason in Pingyuan. Something must have happened.

But now that he is sitting in the tribute courtyard, he doesn't know what happened to Guo Beicheng recently.
