Even though he had seen ghosts several times, Shi Lei was still so frightened that his vest was sweating when faced with the sudden face, and he even couldn't help but cry out.
Following the cry, Shi Lei's eyes flashed, and the concerned expressions of Elder Tang and Yang Yue appeared.
"What did you see?"
Yang Yue asked hurriedly.
Shi Lei told what he saw, and finally asked: "This... what kind of ruins is this? Why are there still ghosts??"
"Ouch~"
Yang Yue said delicately, "Brother Wuchang, you are Wuchang, why are you still afraid of ghosts? Aren't ghosts a piece of cake in front of you?"
"The problem is~"
Shi Lei smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not really Hei Wuchang!"
"I want to quit at this time~"
Elder Tang looked down at the patches of green grass and said softly, "I'm afraid it's too late?"
"Ouch, not good~"
Yang Yueye whispered, "Let's go!"
Unfortunately, the three of them could not get out of the green grass no matter what, and could only watch the darkness fall.
The moment the world fell into darkness, the sound of reading came from the academy, and lights began to illuminate the night sky.
In front of the academy door, a scholar wearing a robe was sitting behind a desk and taking a nap. Although the scholar's face was thin, his robe was neat and tidy, as if he had just been starched.
"Really...really~"
A hint of excitement appeared on Elder Tang's face.
The scholar was awakened by Elder Tang. He stretched out, rubbed his eyes, looked at the sky, and said, "Are you the student who is here to take the exam? It's already late, why don't you come over for the evaluation quickly?"
It turns out that he is not a magician for measuring words.
Shi Lei murmured in his heart and looked at Yang Yue.
As soon as he thought of this, the scholar picked up the brush and paper, put them on the desk, and said: "Only students who take the calligraphy test can enter the academy..."
Yang Yuedang walked to the desk first, picked up a brush and wrote the word "行".
"Yes, this word has great meaning~"
Sure enough, the scholar said, "It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. You can enter the academy!"
After speaking, the scholar gave Yang Yue a sign made of bamboo, indicating her to enter the academy.
When it was Elder Tang's turn, he was still a "good" character.
The scholar was obviously stunned for a moment. After a moment,
"Yes, this word has great meaning~"
The scholar said, "Xingxing will be the number one scholar, I wish you the first prize soon!"
Elder Tang also likes to mention brands.
Facing the word "行" written by Shi Lei, the scholar looked a little sad and seemed to be racking his brains.
"Yes, this word has great meaning~"
It took quite a while before the scholar said, "A row of egrets rising up into the sky shows that you have excellent character. I think you can do it!"
The scholar then handed a sign to Shi Lei and let out a long sigh of relief.
Shi Lei smiled and was about to catch up with Elder Tang, but the scholar narrowed his eyes and muttered: "If there are three of us, one of us will die..."
Shi Lei's body trembled, and when he turned around, the scholar fell asleep again. Ignore Shi Lei at all.
Entering the gate of the academy, someone had already received the three-person bamboo sign. After reading it, he shouted: "Today, there are forty-one students in Shenyu Academy to apply for the exam. After the first session of Zishi, the students who applied for the exam today will enter the examination booth. preferred selection."
After saying that, the teacher took Shi Lei and others to a school and left.
As expected, there were thirty-eight people in the school, both men and women. They were either studying or whispering, and there were also a few Confucian and Wuhan men talking loudly.
"Both of you~"
As soon as Elder Tang entered the school, he grabbed Shi Lei and Yang Yue and asked in a low voice, "Did you find anything abnormal?"
"No~"
Yang Yue said in surprise, "Did you discover it?"
"The scholar who was doing the calligraphy test seemed to have said something when I turned around..."
Yang Yue raised her eyebrows, and before Elder Tang finished speaking, she exclaimed: "Will one of the three of us die in a threesome?"
"ah!"
Shi Lei's heart moved and he whispered, "Did you hear it too?"
"That's right~"
Elder Tang nodded and said, "This is strange. What... does he mean?"
"Haha~"
If Shi Lei wanted to say anything else, a man came over and said with a big smile, "My name is Gao Qumi. How many of you are from Yucheng?"
Yang Yue ignored Gao Qumi, and Elder Tang smiled and said: "Exactly, I don't know..."
Just when he said this, there was a sudden firelight outside, and someone shouted: "...it's too late, all the students should stop the exam immediately and leave the examination room immediately..."
"on fire,"
Gao Qumi didn't have time to say more and shouted, "Quick, hurry up and save people!"
With that said, several men strode out. The other male and female students hesitated, put down their books and looked outside.
"Help~"
"Help~~"
Screams came one after another, like students rolling in flames.
Shi Lei felt a little anxious. If he hadn't seen what he had seen from the spirit body's memory before, he would have rushed out long ago.
"Amitabha~"
Elder Tang, on the other hand, thought for a moment before proclaiming the name of Buddha and rushed out of the school.
"Toutuo~"
Yang Yue was so anxious that she grabbed Elder Tang and shouted, "This is obviously a trap..."
"No~"
Elder Tang smiled bitterly and said, "I can't let it go!"
After saying that, Elder Tang flicked his sleeves and rushed out.
"I'll go too~"
Shi Lei's heart moved and he followed Elder Tang out of the school.
Outside the school are small houses. These houses are connected together. Each small house has windows and doors. It looks like an examination shed.
At this time, many people rushed to rescue, but the strange thing was that they were all busy putting out the fire, and no one broke down the door to save anyone.
What's even weirder is that, "Boom~Boom~~" one after another, the examination booths are still exploding.
Shi Lei looked closely and saw that the exploding examination booths were not connected together, but seemed to be in order.
Elder Tang ran ahead and kicked open the door of an examination booth.
Sure enough, the examination room was filled with smoke and the heat was so intense that even Shi Lei felt suffocated.
"Damn~"
Looking at the charred corpse, Elder Tang cursed, "Why did it burn so fast?"
"Go save those that are not on fire~"
Shi Lei reminded.
Elder Tang hurriedly ran out. Shi Lei held the red blood gun in his hand and kept an eye on the corpses lying on the desk, guarding against the corpses rising up.
To Shi Lei's surprise, the corpse did not get up, but lay obediently on the desk.
But in the light of the fire, Shi Lei saw the writing on the burning scroll: "There are now more than seventy-three students, divided into examination booths. The examination booths are connected in a ring, starting from one, and burning when they meet three. Can you survive this cycle?"
Shi Lei did not dare to turn around and walked backwards out of the examination room with the red blood gun in hand.
As soon as he came out of the examination room, he met Gao Qumi. He was carrying a scholar on his back, with burn scars on his face. Gao Qumi took a deep look at Shi Lei and rushed into the hall before disappearing.
