Meet the Gentleman

Chapter 401 Standing Under the Dangerous Wall

"Help me."

"Run, run!"

"Don't come over here, don't come over here, ah——"

In the strange darkness, the desperate and painful roars were looming, as if far away in the horizon but close at hand. The horrible night seemed to block time and space. There was clearly someone calling for help in front of me, but I could only hear it vaguely...

Under the night.

The strange darkness descended from the north to the south, slowly submerging the world. And the strange existence hidden in the darkness was madly devouring the flesh, blood, and souls of the living beings...

Countless lives died inexplicably in the darkness.

Northland.

Outside the city where the light of literature was bursting, terrifying darkness engulfed the sky and the earth.

At this time, the teacher who was supporting the city near the academy stood on the city wall and looked into the darkness in the distance. He seemed to see countless lives struggling in the darkness...

death.

There is anger and sadness in my heart.

The wind that blew from the terrifying darkness brought with it a strange and vague sound.

It was as if a devil was chewing the bones.

Creepy.

"What on earth is this?"

On the city wall, a student from the academy asked in horror, trembling with fear. The strange darkness brought him endless terror, and even his soul began to tremble.

"It's a strange darkness."

Helian Shan said with a serious expression, feeling deeply anxious.

At this moment, he stared at the darkness outside the city, and a series of horrific scenes emerged in his mind. He seemed to see that the village without the light of the gods was suffering a terrible disaster...

"Could the one hiding in the darkness be an evil ghost?"

A student asked nervously and doubtfully.

"It doesn't look like an evil spirit."

Helian Shan shook his head and said after a pause, "Perhaps it is more terrifying than evil spirits, more bizarre and indescribable."

"what?"

Several students were shocked.

Originally, evil spirits were synonymous with weirdness and indescribable, but now there are things that are even weirder and more indescribable than evil spirits?

This made them unable to believe it.

"Is it a great evil?"

A student asked.

"It doesn't look like a big evil..."

Helian Shan shook his head, staring at the strange darkness and said: "Perhaps the scary thing is not the strange existence hidden in the darkness, but the darkness itself. Because darkness is invisible, we cannot see the existence in the darkness, which will cause great fear..."

"What Yangzhi said is correct."

The teacher of the academy nodded and said, "As long as the light of literature is lit, it can resist the darkness, and the strange existence hidden in the darkness cannot get close. This shows that the strange existence in the darkness is not to be feared..."

Upon hearing this, the students breathed a sigh of relief.

"Although the strange darkness is not something we are afraid of, ordinary people may be..."

Helian Shan couldn't help but sigh.

The teacher of the academy remained silent, and finally looked up at the night sky and sighed.

The strange darkness is flooding the whole world, not just one or two cities or one or two villages. Although the cities are guarded by scholars and some cultural treasures, what about the villages outside the cities?
Who will guard?

Moreover, the cultural light emitted by most cities cannot even completely cover the city itself, so how can it cover the outside of the city?
At this time, the city was in chaos, with panic and shouting everywhere.

Although more special buildings such as the Eighty-one Academies, temples, and holy palaces can all burst out with terrifying literary light or divine light, they are enough to resist the engulfment of the strange darkness.

But how much can it cover?

In the North, there are too few places that can light up the literary light or divine light. Although all the scholars who have opened the Wen Palace can light up their own literary light, how many people can the scholars of the lower realms protect?

Even the light lit by the Wen Xiang was only a few hundred feet wide.

Moreover, the brighter the literary light, the more literary energy is consumed.

The darkness was like a tide, flooding in continuously. As soon as the light was extinguished, the darkness would instantly submerge everything.

And accompanied by scary monsters.

At this time, when the strange darkness engulfed the North, the academies, palaces, temples, etc. in the North all burst out with literary or divine light to resist the swallowing of the strange darkness...

But outside of Wen Guang, it is like the incarnation of hell.

"Help me."

Someone shouted desperately in the darkness, but the sound could not be heard more than three feet away.

From time to time, terrible noises were heard in the darkness.

It seemed as if there was some terrifying monster staring at people coldly. After a moment, there was another rough biting sound, and then it was like a monster gnawing on bones...

"Sir, the student plans to go out of town for a walk."

On the city wall, Helian Shan stared at the darkness outside Wen Guang. He couldn't sit in the city peacefully. Although he couldn't see the tragic scene in the darkness, he could imagine it...

He couldn't accept it.

He felt that he should do something.

"No."

The teacher immediately shook his head and said, "The darkness outside is too dangerous. A gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall."

Helian Shan smiled and said, "Sir, I really like what Junior Brother Yan said."

"What's the matter?"

The teacher asked.

"The ruler and his subjects are of one mind, the upper and lower classes are in harmony, the people have enough food and clothing, the old and the young are healthy, the people of all quarters obey, and the world is at peace." Helian Shan looked up at the night sky and said, "But now, the world is not at peace, the old and the young are not healthy, and someone has to stand under the dangerous wall."

The prelate fell silent.

"If the eldest senior brother were here, he would definitely agree to our trip to the mountain." Helian Shan said.

"Go ahead then."

The teacher hesitated for a moment and said.

"Thank you sir."

Helian Shan bowed and jumped off the city wall, walking into the darkness outside the city.

"Come back safely."

The Envoy shouted.

Helian Shan is one of the most outstanding disciples of Zangshan Academy besides being canonized.

In the future, he will surely become a great scholar, or even a great sage...

Helian Shan nodded.

At this time, several students on the city wall looked at each other, then jumped off the wall and chased after Helian Shan's figure.

"return!"

The teacher saw it and shouted loudly.

But several students ran very fast and soon caught up with Helian Shan.

A dozen feet outside the city, there was an eerie darkness, and everything outside could no longer be seen.

At this time, Helian Shan stood in front of the darkness, frowned and listened carefully to the darkness, and faintly heard a strange sound coming from the darkness.

"Second senior brother."

"Second senior brother."

The four students said one after another.

Helian Shan turned around and nodded, saying: "Actually, you shouldn't have come."

"We are all students of Zangshan Academy. The world is in trouble and the people are in trouble. How can we just sit there and watch? If we do this, how can we be worthy of being human beings?"

A student said.

"That's too much."

Helian Shan waved his hand and said, "Since you are going to follow me, remember not to act recklessly and follow my orders."

"clear."

The four students nodded.

"First, you are not allowed to leave me within three feet without my order."

Helian Shan hesitated for a moment and said, he was not alone at this moment, he needed to consider the safety of others, "Second, you must not act rashly without my order; third..."

At this time, Helian Shan said a few points, and then asked, "Remember it?"

"remember."

"Let's go then."

Helian Shan lit up the Wen Guang and walked into the darkness first.

The four followed closely, but did not light up the light. Helianshan's light just covered three feet...
