Song Xing: I am cultivating immortals in Qingcheng Mountain

Chapter 561: A lone man knocks on the bell, the academy is in shock
Willow branches on the moon.

Tianqi City, Jixia Academy.

The moonlight cast a veil over this world-famous academy, and lanterns were lit early in the morning in the corridors inside the academy.

A yard in the backyard seems to be particularly lively tonight.

"Let me out, let me out!!!"

"Crazy, these lunatics!!"

"The murderer is right here, are you blind?"

"Shi Wenfeng is already dead, who's next?"

Because of the disaster of the Enke exam, the mentality of many students who were temporarily left behind completely collapsed at this time.

There was a guard guarding outside each house, but two more people died just after dinner tonight.

The way he died was exactly the same as those who had died in the Imperial Examination Hall before.

The only difference is that the words left by those people in the Imperial Examination Hall were "There is much injustice in the world, and blood leads to thunder." The words left by these people now are "The world is silent, and I am alone and courageously knocking on the bell of heaven."

Seeing those students who died in strange ways, the chief examiner of the special examination turned pale with fright. As the chief examiner and the Minister of Rites, he could naturally understand what the other party said, "There are so many injustices in the world, and blood brings about thunder."

For scholars, what exactly is injustice? Is it the injustice of the imperial examination, or the injustice of the current society? Is it that the rich are feasting and drinking, while the poor are freezing to death on the streets? Or is it that the rich are dancing in fancy clothes in the palace, while the poor are dying in the cold cave? Or is it that the red eaves are warm, while the red caves are cold and the dead are lying in the snow.

That person was not targeting this simple imperial examination, but the entire court and the whole world.

He had never thought that a scholar would have such a crazy day.

Xiao Chong, Xiao Se and Xiao Yu, who arrived late, looked as gloomy as iron when they saw this scene.

Looking at the guard kneeling beside him, Xiao Yu kicked him away.

"Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on me?"

"Is this your explanation?"

Xiao Chong suppressed the anger in his heart and pulled Xiao Yu.

"Seventh brother, it's not their fault. Even if you and I were here, what was supposed to happen would still happen."

Xiao Se walked into the room and looked at the words on the paper on the table, his eyes became gloomy.

"Everyone in this turbulent world is silent, but I alone am brave enough to knock on the bell of heaven."

Xiao Se tightened his grip and remained silent.

From the perspective of the royal family, this is a provocation, just like Xiao Yu now, this is the reason why he is angry, but from another perspective, he feels that this is more of an accusation.

The world is not fair, and he understood this very early on.

Just like reading, if a person has talent, he can memorize everything he sees. Conversely, if a person has no talent, no matter how hard he tries to memorize, he probably won't remember much.

Take martial arts training for example. If a person has talent, like him, Tang Lian, Lei Wujie, Wuxin, and even Zhao Shouyi, the achievements they have made at such a young age are probably something most people will never be able to achieve in their entire lives.

Is this unfair?

In a way, it is, but also it isn’t.

Most people will not feel resentful about such injustice, because things that are determined by talent cannot be changed at all.

What most people in the world cannot tolerate is that the rules are there, they have worked hard to achieve them, put their heart and soul into them, and given everything for them, but in the end, other people break the rules and take away everything that belongs to them.

The first kind of injustice will not make people despair. It is said that God is fair. When he closes a door for you, he will open a window for you. Perhaps a person is not talented in studying, but he may make achievements in other areas.

The second kind of injustice is mostly man-made and is a manifestation of social pathology. Such injustice will make people despair. Faced with such a situation, being a sober person will undoubtedly be a very painful thing.

He remembered a sentence like this in a biography.

"The whole world is turbid, but I am the only one who is clear. Everyone is drunk, but I am the only one who is sober. The world is so big, but there is no place for me." "Sixth brother."

Seeing Xiao Se standing there as if in a daze, Xiao Chong couldn't help but shout.

"What did you find?"

Xiao Se sighed and handed over the paper in his hand.

When Xiao Chong saw Xiao Se like this, he felt a little worried. Then he took the paper and saw a few words left on it.

"Everyone in this turbulent world is silent, but I alone am brave enough to knock on the bell of heaven."

Xiao Chong's heart skipped a beat.

Sky clock? ?
The word "tian" has been associated with the royal family since ancient times, for example, the heavenly family, the son of heaven, and the lone brave man ringing the bell of heaven. If the previous line of the poem expresses a person's dissatisfaction with the way things are, then this line now has the meaning of rebellion.

What on earth does this person mean??

"This is????"

Looking at Xiao Se, Xiao Chong confirmed it again.

"If I'm not mistaken, it was left by that person."

In the Imperial Examination Hall, several people left the same message. Although they didn't know why, they were able to determine that the murderer controlled those people through some means and then made them leave those words in their own handwriting.

Xiao Chong tightened his grip and held the paper tightly.

"What does he want to do??"

Xiao Chong's voice was a little cold. He and Xiao Yu had the same attitude towards rebellion. He would never allow anything to happen to the Xiao family.

Xiao Se sighed.

"I don't know, but one thing I am sure of is that he didn't seem to do it on impulse, but did it on purpose."

"We must speed up our pace and find this person as soon as possible. Every second of delay will put those present in greater danger."

At this point, Xiao Se paused for a moment, then he swept his eyes across the crowd and whispered, "Even between you and me, it's not absolutely safe!!"

"Second brother, you have been in charge of the imperial examinations for the past few years. You should know best whether there are any problems."

Xiao Chong stood there, his eyes flickering, but he didn't say anything else.

"We want to get out, let us go!!"

As soon as Xiao Se turned around, he heard someone making noise again.

After thinking about it, he walked over.

"You want to go out??"

Xiao Se looked at the student in front of him and after a quick glance, he knew that this person came from a wealthy family. He looked fierce on the outside but was actually weak on the inside. His eyes were evasive, and he looked like a guilty thief.

"The murderer is right here, why can't I leave? Why should I stay here and wait to die?"

Xiao Se chuckled when he heard this.

Then he looked at the crowd again.

“Some of you probably think so too, right?”

"But there is one thing you have forgotten. At least you have guards, a chief priest, and several masters in the Mysterious Realm to look after you at the Jixia Academy."

"I'm being blunt here. This place is safer than your own homes. If the murderer is really among you, he will have nothing to worry about if you leave here. He can kill people right under our noses, so if he leaves here, it will be easier for him to kill you than to kill a chicken!!"
