Dragon Pattern Roll Set

Because Gongsun has promised to come often to teach the students of Taixue, Taixue has prepared a separate room for him, just like other masters, it is a private courtyard.

In fact, it is also for the convenience of people in Kaifeng Mansion to get together to discuss the case.

Everyone went to Gongsun's room together, sat down, pulled Xiaosi and Xiaoliangzi, and asked them to tell the story about the haunted school they had inquired from the girl's academy.

The fourth son climbed into Zhao Pu's arms, expressing that it was safer to say it this way, and then waved to Xiao Liangzi, what does that mean—you tell me, I'll add.

Xiao Liang peeled an orange and said to everyone, "It's like this! It is said that when the Taixue was first established, the first batch of students who entered the Taixue to study, there were a total of 21 people..."

"Wait a moment!"

Xiao Liangzi had just started, when Gongsun suddenly waved his hand and interrupted.

Everyone looked at him curiously.

Gongsun stood up suddenly, closed the doors and windows, and blocked the light with curtains, so the whole room was dark.

Gongsun brought over the small purse that the fourth son used to pack snacks, and distributed peanuts, melon seeds, fennel, beans, and beef jerky to everyone, then hugged a pillow, and sat and listened together while eating.

The corners of everyone's mouths twitched, Gongsun seemed... very happy.

The fourth son shrinks back into Zhao Pu's arms and sighs.

While eating oranges, Xiao Liang continued, "At that time, there were 21 students in the academy, six masters and three odd jobs, that is to say, there were thirty people."

Everyone nodded, so far they haven't found anything scary, but Lin Yehuo folded his arms and tilted his head to look at Xiao Liang, "You know that 21 plus six plus three equals thirty, so I want to write to your parents Make them happy!"

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Liang hit him with a pillow, "Oh, excuse me!"

Lin Yehuo rubbed his nose and jumped up, "How dare you take a picture of my beautiful face... Hmm."

Before he finished speaking, Zou Liang firmly grabbed the back of his neck, telling him to sit and listen obediently, and stop making trouble!

Zhan Zhao grabbed a handful of fennel beans and chewed them, while beckoning to Xiao Liangzi——Continue!

"I heard that in the first year of Taixue, everyone will compete for the first place in the exam." Xiao Liangzi continued, "It seems that the emperor at that time said that whoever comes first in the exam will be given the title of the world's most talented scholar!"

Everyone couldn't laugh or cry, the emperors in this world like to make troubles, and they are afraid that the world will not be chaotic.

"Ah..."

In the palace, Zhao Zhen sneezed up to the sky, rubbed his nose and continued to read the scriptures, wondering if Xiangxiang woke up from his afternoon nap, and went to have a look later.

"At that time, there were several talented scholars in Taixue who were very famous, and one of them was named Xu Chang, who took the No. .”

Everyone listened with their chins on their hands, thinking that it was not unusual, and most of the scholars were relatively quiet.

While listening, Zhan Zhao stuffed a candied date into Bai Yutang's mouth, and stuffed another into his own mouth, wondering what would happen.

"But suddenly one day, Xu Cha disappeared." Xiao Liangzi narrowed his eyes and said sinisterly.

"Disappeared?" Zhan Zhao was puzzled, "It means disappeared?"

Xiao Liangzi nodded seriously, "Yeah! It's gone."

Everyone frowned, and they were a little curious—where did they go?

"Didn't something happen to you?" Gongsun asked.

Xiao Liang blinked, "Three days later, he still didn't show up, so the academy went to the yamen to report the case, and the government began to look for him everywhere. But after searching for half a month, almost the entire Kaifeng city was searched, but there was no sign of him." There is no trace of him, no one is dead, no corpse is alive!"

After Xiao Liang finished speaking, the fourth son tugged at his sleeve to correct him, "Little Liangzi, you don't see people alive or dead."

"Oh..." Xiao Liang touched his chin.

Everyone urged, "And then?"

"Then I wondered if he had gone home, so two arrests from Kaifeng went to his hometown to look for it." Xiao Liang said, "Their family is quite close to Feng, in a small county called Yun County. When the police arrived at his house and questioned him, his family members said that Xu Kai had died half a year ago and his body was buried in the backyard.”

Everyone was slightly taken aback, and looked at Xiao Liang together, "Who is that person studying in Taixue? Someone else pretending to be?"

"Hurry up and show Xu Kai's portrait to their family members. His family members said that this is not Xu Kai, but Xu Kai's good friend, Chen Xu."

"Chen Xu appeared again?" Zhao Putt his chin and looked at Xiao Liang, "What's so scary about this imposter, I haven't even seen a ghost until now."

"Worry, the wonderful ones are behind." Xiao Liang waved his hands to everyone, and continued, "This Chen Xu and Xu Wei are very close friends, and they grew up together, but Chen Xu didn't want to be an official, so he didn't apply for the exam. Taixue, but Xu Chen was admitted by Taixue. Half a year ago, Xu Chang died of a serious illness. I heard that Chen Xu was sad for a while. After that, Chen Xu left a letter to his family, saying that he was going to Get Xu Chang back, and he will disappear!"

"Get it back?" Bai Yutang was puzzled, "Everyone is dead, how can I find it?"

Everyone was also puzzled.

"The two policemen couldn't find Xu Cha or Chen Xu, so they had to go back to Kaifeng. It took them five or six days to go back and forth, but when they returned to Taixue, three students of Taixue had already died. "

"What?" Zhan Zhao was startled, "Three students died?"

Xiao Liang nodded, squinted his eyes and said mysteriously, "I heard that the fake Xu Wei was ranked first, and the one who died next was the one who got the first place in the exam."

Everyone frowned, "That is to say, whoever takes the first place will die?"

Xiao Liangzi nodded, "That's right, so the Taixue people became suspicious."

Everyone nodded and thought it was understandable. If No.1 died, then No.2 would become number one. Therefore, if one person dies, the one behind him will be suspected. Students will inevitably doubt each other. People are at risk.

"I heard later that if it continues, whoever takes the first place in the exam will die!" Xiao Liangzi folded his arms and shook his head, "This matter alarmed the emperor and sent people to investigate, but they couldn't find out, and they continued to die, so that the Taixue I dare not take the test."

"Then what happened afterwards?" Zhan Zhao asked, "No clues about the murderer?"

"Yes." Xiao Liang said, "I just heard that some students saw ghosts at night!"

"Ghost?" Zhao Pu frowned, "What does it look like? Wearing a ghost mask?"

"No, we asked specifically." The fourth son was quite aware that everyone had been looking for clues about the ghost-masked man this time, so when the girls in the academy talked about ghosts, he asked more thoughtfully.

"The legend is that I saw a black shadow in the shape of a human, and it disappeared in a flash!" Xiao Liangshen said mysteriously, "I heard that before each exam, anyone who sees a ghost will take the first place in the exam, and then that night die!"

Everyone frowned.

Zhan Zhao subconsciously glanced at Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang rubbed his chin. He did see a black figure flashing past just now, but he didn't hear that there was an exam this afternoon. Besides, it would be fine if the exam really happened, the ghost would automatically Delivered to your door, no need to look around so hard!

"What happened after that?" Gongsun was curious, "How did this ghost story end?"

"Afterwards, an expert was invited to the palace." Xiao Liang continued, "It is said that the expert took a look at the academy and frowned, saying that the house's Feng Shui is not good, and the gate of life opens to the gate of death."

"The gate of death?!" Everyone said in unison, thinking——It looks so powerful.

"I heard that someone who didn't know opened the gate of the underworld and released an evil spirit from inside." The fourth son tremblingly helped to add, "The tall man said he could close the gate of the underworld, but the one who escaped outside There is no way for the evil spirit to catch him back, so he can only be locked up."

"Where is it locked?" Everyone was curious.

Xiao Liang pointed to the ground, "It's in Taixue!"

Everyone was stunned.

"It is said that it is just behind the most gloomy Mingjing Academy in Taixue, in a bookstore next to the academy that has been locked all the year round!" Xiao Liang said while running to open the window, pointing to a very old building not far away. The old small bookstore, "That's it!"

Zhao Pu stroked his chin, "Two days ago, when Ziying and the others were investigating the terrain, they said that the attic of Taixue didn't know what it was for. The surrounding area was tightly locked and a lot of charms were pasted on it. I dare say it's for Guan Xiaogui. .”

"Hmm..." Everyone was rubbing their chins and looking at the small building. Suddenly, a head appeared from under the window, "What are you doing?"

"puff……"

Ouyang Shaozheng, who was standing at the front with a teacup, spouted out a mouthful of tea, and the others also took a step back, and the fourth son was so frightened that he burrowed into Zhao Pu's den.

Xiao Liang stood on the window sill and jumped, "Tianzun, why are you walking without sound!"

Tianzun was also taken aback by the crowd, he was aggrieved and stood outside the window to look at the people in the room, what did he mean—why was he so fierce!

It turned out that after eating just now, Tianzun wanted to go to digest food. After walking around for two times, he couldn't find Bai Yutang and the others, so he asked people everywhere, and finally found Gongsun's yard. Seeing them suddenly open the window, he ran over to say hello .

I just didn't expect Tianzun to appear from under the window, startling everyone who was immersed in the "ghost story".

At this time, there was a "dangdangdang" bell ringing outside.

"What does that bell mean?" Zhan Zhao was still crossing his arms and pondering, "It sounds familiar."

"Class is on!" Bao Yan and Pang Yu dragged everyone out.

"Class again?!" Zhao Pu was dissatisfied, "I just had dinner."

"Sitting like this for a morning and then an afternoon, my butt will swell after a month!" Lin Yehuo was also very dissatisfied.

However, no matter how dissatisfied, you still have to go, because it is "studying according to the order".

After slandering Zhao Zhen many times in their stomachs, and saying so many rebellious things, everyone reluctantly ran to the Mingjing Study to continue the afternoon class.

In the palace, Zhao Zhen, who was dizzy after criticizing the memorials, was sitting in Concubine Pang's courtyard with Xiangxiang in his arms, and asked Nangong Ji who had fallen from outside the courtyard, "How is it?"

"Your Majesty, we found it." Nangong Ji handed over a secret letter, and seeing Zhao Zhen holding Xiangxiang, he unfolded it and put it in front of his eyes.

After Zhao Zhen glanced at it, he sneered, "Sure enough..."

……

Zhan Zhao and the others sat down in the study, and saw that the atmosphere in the study was a little tense, and the students looked busy flipping through their books.

The fourth son poked Wang Qi who was reading with her head down, "Qiqi, what are you doing?"

Wang Qi turned her head and said, "Oh, I heard that there will be an exam this afternoon!"

"Exam?" Xiao Liang tilted his head, "What is the exam?"

Chunhua was also helpless, "I often suddenly say that I want to take the test, and what the specific test is, whether it is poetry, poetry or writing, I don't know until I get the paper."

Zhan Zhao frowned slightly, always feeling a little uneasy, so he turned to look at Bai Yutang, but saw Bai Yutang looking aside.

Zhan Zhao followed Bai Yutang's line of sight, and saw him looking at a table not far away.There was a boy sitting at that table, touching his chin, looking at Bai Yutang with interest.That boy Zhan Zhao recognized that it was the legendary Lan Shaotian who had yin and yang eyes.

"Hello." Seeing Lan Shaotian staring at Bai Yutang endlessly, Chunhua tugged him, "What are you doing?"

Lan Shaotian glanced at Bai Yutang again, then smiled slightly, and said to him meaningfully, "Be careful, be careful..."

After hearing the two "be careful" he said in a strange tone, Zhan Zhao suddenly reached out and hid Bai Yutang's inkstone.

Bai Yutang didn't know whether to laugh or cry looking at Zhan Zhao, "Cat, what are you doing?"

Zhan Zhao narrowed his eyes and warned him, "No exam! You will hand in a blank paper later!"

Bai Yutang held his chin, thinking it was quite funny.
