Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 61: A tiger among the sheep

Views:

The other scholars did not rush forward. When they saw him coming, they became frightened and retreated while cursing angrily.

Su Yun couldn't help but get angry. He raised his hand and grabbed a scholar by the collar and pulled him to his side, but he didn't look at the scholar's face. Instead, he looked at the ground in front of him.

This was his habit when he was blind.

However, to others, this is clearly arrogance and disrespect for everything!

"Just now, Brother Hua said that if I beat up the Saint, you scholars would be so angry that you would surround me and beat me to death. I don't believe it. With you bunch of trash?"

Su Yun loosened his hand, pressed his palm on the young scholar's face, pushed him aside, and said, "Scholars do not worship gods and demons, but you treat the Saint Master as a god. Excuse my rudeness: fellow brothers and sisters, you have brought shame to your parents and the teachers who taught you."

The scholar staggered after being pushed by him, feeling ashamed and angry, and said in a hoarse voice: "If you have the ability..."

Su Yun's gaze moved and fell on his face.

When the scholar's eyes met his, his mind suddenly went blank and his body began to tremble uncontrollably, as if he saw that Su Yun would break his neck in the next moment and his body would lie on the ground like a dead dog!

"He has killed someone!" The shadow of Su Yun in the scholar's mind grew larger and larger, and he finally collapsed to the ground in despair, unable to get up.

"A bunch of rubbish."

Su Yun walked through the crowd, like a tiger from the jungle, walking among the sheep with a light body, looking for his prey, and said indifferently: "Sir, if you want to seek revenge in Tianlin Shangjingtu, just come to me. I'll be waiting for you."

The Saint in White touched his left cheek and said calmly, "I definitely will."

"That's good."

Su Yun walked out of the crowd, turned around and glanced at the group of scholars: "The same goes for you. If you want to fight here, go ahead. If you don't have the courage, you can come to me in Tianlin Shangjingtu. No matter how many people there are, I will take them on."

There was grief and anger in the crowd, and some girls even cried out in grievance.

Su Yun returned to Hua Hu and the others. The girl with twin ponytails had sparkling eyes and was a little excited. She said, "I know who you are! You are Su Yun, the Su Yun my brother met on the Zhulong Chariot!"

Su Yun was extremely surprised and asked tentatively, "Miss Zhuxian, could it be that you are Senior Brother Li Muge's sister?"

The girl with twin ponytails nodded excitedly: "My brother came home yesterday and challenged my father. After being taught a lesson, he told me about his experience in Guangzhou. He mentioned you! He said that you are kind-hearted, brave enough to kill the ape demon spirit, and overpowered the robbery gray monster. You are amazing. I have never seen my brother admire someone so much!"

Su Yun's face turned slightly red, and he felt a little ashamed. He didn't know that Li Muge thought so highly of him. He quickly said, "I couldn't beat the Grey Robbery Monster. I almost died at the hands of that monster."

Li Zhuxian shook her ponytail and said excitedly, "I admire you now! My brother has long been unhappy with Saint Master Bai Yuelou, saying that he is imitating the saint and pretending to be a saint, and he wanted to beat him. But my father couldn't beat the saint, so my brother didn't dare to beat the saint."

Su Yun looked towards the Saint Young Master and said in a deep voice, "Bai Yue Lou is indeed very strong. Although I didn't use my full strength just now, he didn't suffer much damage and is very able to withstand a beating. However, he should not be able to beat Senior Brother Mu Ge, as he is not a spiritualist."

"But my father can't beat a saint!"

Li Zhuxian raised his head and smiled innocently: "My brother beat up the Saint, and the Saint would not go after my brother, but would go after my father. So my brother didn't dare to cause trouble for the Saint."

Su Yun's heart was slightly moved: "Miss Zhuxian, can you tell me in detail about this saint in Shuofang City?"

Above the buildings surrounding the platform are the tall buildings called Shenxianju, where the ministers and teachers of the four great academies of Shuofang gather, each looking down.

"What happened below the Tianlin Shangjingtu?" In the Shenxian Residence, the ministers and teachers of the four major palaces noticed the commotion on the platform.

The Pushe of Jiuyuan Academy was a woman with a beautiful appearance, who looked to be only in her twenties or thirties. She had only a phoenix hairpin with five beads hanging on it in her hair, and no other decorations, but she had a very strong aura.

The woman with the phoenix hairpin turned her head to ask the scholar not far away, the pearls of the hairpin swaying slightly beside her ears, and said, "Go and check what's going on."

After a while, the scholar came to report, "Someone attacked the saint's disciple and beat him to the ground and vomited."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar among the gods.

The woman with the phoenix hairpin was surprised and asked, "Who did this? You even dared to hit a Saint's disciple. You are so bold, are you going to rebel?"

The teachers and ministers of other academies were also discussing this matter.

Tian Wuji, the chief of the Moxia Academy, looked at Mr. Shuijing quietly, thinking: "Could it be Mr. Shuijing's scholars who did it? They are the only ones who have the ability to do this, right? The scholars taught by Mr. Shuijing are really bold, they even beat up the saint's disciples. But then again, the saint's disciples are famous and well-known, I thought they were very powerful, how could they be so unbearable?"

But he knew very well how powerful the saint was.

The saint in Shuofang City is not a true saint yet. The last time he took action, his strength was still some distance away from the four myths of Yuanshuo Kingdom, and the emperor of Dongdu has not yet canonized him as a saint.

However, his reputation is extremely high. Some people among the people already revere him as a saint and build shrines in his honor. In recent years, the calls have become increasingly louder.

His strength is even more unfathomable. In recent years, the four myths of Yuanshuo Kingdom have lived in seclusion from the world, and his reputation as a saint has become even more famous.

Some even speculated that his cultivation strength had reached the level of the Four Myths, or maybe even surpassed it!

Moreover, this saint did not reject new learning. On the one hand, he comprehended the old saints’ classics to carry on the old saints’ unique knowledge, and on the other hand, he practiced new learning, being inclusive.

But, how could a disciple of such an existence be beaten to vomit by other scholars

"Gentlemen!"

As everyone was discussing, Zuo Songyan, the Minister of Wenchang Academy, stood up and said loudly: "Gentlemen! It's time to make a decision, right? The poisonous dragon has entered the city, the demon has appeared, and heavy snow has fallen. The demon is lurking among the scholars. Now the exam is extremely dangerous for these enrolled scholars! Shuofang should stop the exam immediately!"

There was a sudden silence in the Immortal Residence, and no one spoke.

The human-demon issue is indeed of great importance and is likely to cause great unrest.

However, the entrance examination is also crucial.

After a while, Tian Wuji, the deputy minister of the Moxia Academy, a tall and sturdy old man, turned the jade ring on his thumb, and the sound was like thunder, shaking the window frames: "Left Minister, you never told me where you got this news from. If your source of information is wrong, who can take the responsibility for hastily stopping the entrance examination?"

Zuo Songyan frowned. He couldn't tell the source of the information.

Su Yun is a scholar of Tiandao Academy. He was ordered by the Great Emperor to come to Shuofang to handle a case. The human-demon case is just one of them. There may be a bigger case later!

He must not reveal Su Yun's identity!

Exposing Su Yun would not increase the persuasiveness of the demon's arrival. Instead, it would alert the enemy and put Su Yun in danger, and would also make Emperor Dongdu's plan come to naught.

The Emperor of Dongdu will definitely not let him go!

The woman with the phoenix hairpin was the left servant of Jiuyuan Academy, named Wen Lifang. She said, "If the left servant can't produce any evidence, he will not be able to convince the public with just the statement that it snowed heavily."

Teachers from other academies nodded one after another. Someone said, "It snows every year in the north, and it is not uncommon for snow to be heavier than this. We cannot say that a demon has been born just because of this snow."

Zuo Songyan exhaled a foul breath and said in a deep voice: "I have another piece of evidence. If you catch the poisonous dragon, the whole village will eat! As long as you catch him, you can know whether there is a human demon! I have ordered the head of the Sakya Academy and the head of the Qingmiao Academy of my academy to capture him, but the whole village will eat is a poisonous dragon after all, and its strength is very strong. It is difficult to find him in such a big place like Shuofang City..."

In the Immortal Residence, the ministers and teachers of the various universities all looked strange. Suddenly, a voice laughed wildly, making everyone's ears buzz: "The whole village of Poison Dragon is having a meal? Is this a name given by a country boy? How childish!"

Zuo Songyan had a gloomy expression. The person who was speaking was Tong Qingyun, the Minister of the Shuofang Academy, the head of the official schools in Shuofang City.

Many of the servants of the major palaces are old men. Only a few, such as Wen Lifang of the Jiuyuan Academy, are young. And Tong Qingyun, the servant of the Shuofang Academy, who is the leader of the official school in Shuofang City, is also a young man in his thirties or forties.

—Compared with other official school officials, they are all young people.

Tong Qingyun faced the immortal residence picture on the Shenxianju Hall, with his back to them. He did not give Zuo Songyan any face in his words and said with a smile: "Zuo Songyan, you believe this? Do you really believe that the name of the poisonous dragon is "The Whole Village Eats"? You are getting old and confused!"

He turned around, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and he scolded: "If you want to go crazy, go crazy by yourself, don't drag us to go crazy with you! The entrance examination must be held!"

Zuo Songyan glanced at him and said coldly: "If something goes wrong, who will be responsible?"

Tong Qingyun interrupted him: "If you don't do anything because you're afraid of something going wrong, then you won't be able to accomplish anything! Zuo Pushe, you are a senior, and I have to say something unpleasant, but it is because of your timid style of doing things that your Wenchang Academy has been ruined!"

Tian Wuji, the assistant minister of the Moxia Academy, stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Left Assistant Minister, for this exam, the Wenchang Academy should pick some scholars that we don't want, and just be the fourth among the four great academies in Shuofang."

Tong Qingyun turned around and looked around with a dignified look: "The entrance examination has begun, sacrifice to the Jinxiutu!"

"you!"

Zuo Songyan slammed the table, furious: "As a teacher in my Wenchang Academy, no one is allowed to offer sacrifices to the Brocade Painting!"

The teachers of Wenchang Academy stood up one after another. There were more than a hundred of them and stood behind him without saying a word.

Tong Qingyun sneered: "The Ten Brocade Embroidery Pictures of Sacrificial Spirit Soldiers have long since stopped using your Wenchang Academy."

He waved his hand, and the other teachers in the Immortal Residence stood up one after another, forming an orderly line. Their blood surged out and poured into the Ten Brocade Embroidered Pictures!

On the platform between the buildings below, Su Yun and the girl with twin ponytails continued to discuss the origins of the saint.

Li Zhuxian put her hands behind her back, swayed her upper body, and her ponytail fluttered back and forth. She smiled and said, "The saint was conferred by the people. The saint was in the Eastern Capital, and was loved by the people, so many people respected him as a saint. When the new emperor ascended the throne, he didn't like the saint very much, so he dismissed him and sent him back home. In the past few years, the saint has been cultivating his mind and character in the north, not caring about worldly affairs."

"Could this saint be the team leader?" Su Yun thought to himself.
