Chapter 116: Si Ming
(Please beg for the first order!)
After encountering a few strange things, Chen Tang was no longer as frightened as he was at the beginning. As the saying goes, "It's not strange, but the monster will be defeated by itself."
On the other hand, I also have a certain degree of support and confidence.
The knock on the door was particularly clear.
Chen Tang stepped over and opened the door. He saw a paper man standing outside, about three feet tall, with the image of a handsome boy.
During the Youling Ceremony, Chen Tang had seen several such paper-made people, both men and women.
On the corridor, at some point, a white-skinned lantern was hung outside the door of each room, illuminating a red light.
Other rooms are closed tightly, and there is no movement.
"Young Master, my master is welcome!"
The paper-breaking man suddenly spoke, his voice dry and indescribable.
"lead the way."
Chen Tang had no expression on his face.
The man who had a paper thorn turned around, his feet were not stuck on the ground, and he was floating around - if that was a foot.
When he arrived at the first floor, he looked up and saw that the Fan brothers were standing there with uneasy expressions.
When the two saw him, they were also stunned.
Fan Yuan shouted, "Why did you come down?"
Fan Xuan said angrily: "Because he is also a juren who goes to Beijing for the exam." He felt strange because Chen Tang did not look like a juren at all.
Fan Yuan muttered, "I don't have a juren's appearance, I just want to go to Beijing for an exam?"
Fan Xuan shouted, "Zihan, don't underestimate others. Now, we are on the same boat and we must work together to escape the disaster."
Chen Tang raised his eyebrows and asked, "How do you say this?"
Fan Xuan looked at him curiously: "We probably encountered the case of the Yin Sicheng God."
"The Yin Si? Examine the City God?"
Chen Tang's heart moved.
Fan Xuan said in surprise: "You don't know anything, but you dare to come down with the soul-guiding person?"
"You're talking about this?"
Chen Tang pointed at the paper-killing man.
Fan Xuan nodded and said, "That's right."
Chen Tang's eyes flashed: "Brother Fan, you seem to have a good understanding of that underworld. Can you tell me one or two?"
Fan Xuan replied: "I don't know it well..."
I am not hiding it now, and I will repeat the words I explained to Fan Yuan before.
The examination of the City God is actually a system for selecting officials in the underworld. In terms of form, it is similar to the imperial examination in the world. The difference is that one is the stranger who is the official and the other is the dead who is the official. The content of the examination is quite different, the imperial examination examines the classics and articles, while the Yin examination examines the opinions on the Yin virtues, etc.
In essence, there is no standard answer to both.
The imperial examination system is prevalent. After thousands of years of development, all the articles and regulations have been quite complete; while the examination of the city god is much more mysterious, and it often only exists in rumors and becomes a conversation between ghosts and gods.
After listening, Chen Tang pondered.
Regarding the "Invisible Si", when he and Zhan Yangchun were in Panzhou Prefecture, they found out some information when they were in the invisible talisman business. However, Zhan Yangchun also didn't know much, so Chen Tang wanted to see if he could ask for something new from Fan Xuan:
"So that's it. Since it's the City God exam, isn't it eligible for a dead person to take the exam?"
Fan Xuan said: "According to the example, we came down and asked clearly that it might be that the underworld made a mistake."
When they were in the room, they heard the knock on the door. When they opened the door, they saw a paper man outside and asked for help. The two of them hesitated slightly, but did not resist and came downstairs.
Seeing that the paper-made man looks quite polite, I guess this matter needs to be discussed.
Just discuss it.
"mistake?"
Chen Tang sneered secretly and stopped talking.
White lanterns were erected on the first floor of the empty inn. Chen Tang knew that these lanterns were not placed in the atmosphere and lighting, but were likely to form a certain formation to isolate the sound.
At the inn, other guests slept quietly like dead pigs, which had a lot to do with the existence of lanterns.
The underworld acts, is evil and treacherous, and has its own set of principles and rules, which does not harm the worthless idle people. And the reason why Song A-san, who is loud and loud, becomes the target is because he is a martial arts practitioner with strong qi and blood.
Uncle Dong, who helped the Fan brothers drive the car, is also a warrior, but he is old and weak, and he is no longer able to see him.
Below the four lanterns, there were paper-made people standing.
In addition, there were six paper-made people who went to invite Chen Tang and others, and their images were different. They basically belonged to the shape of a boy and a girl. They stood on the ground and remained motionless, which made people feel anxious when they looked.
Fan Xuan lowered his voice and said to Chen Tang: "Brother Chen, I know you practice martial arts, but what happened tonight is definitely not comparable to ordinary evil spirits. When you see the other party, don't be impulsive, so as not to cause trouble."
He was worried that Chen Tang would not know the world was so good that he would make trouble. Chen Tang was not going to make trouble by himself, so he should not implicate them.
Chen Tang said calmly: "I know how to do it."
Fan Yuan snorted coldly beside him, quite unhappy, and was still worried about not buying meat during the day. He knew that Chen Tang was also a Juren, and he was even more unhappy: As a Juren, why do you have meat to eat?
At this time, two paper-made people, one man and one woman, suddenly floated to the gate of the inn, stood left and right, and said in unison: "Welcome to Lord Song Siming."
Babbling!
The inn portal opened, and a cold wind blew in, and the temperature inside suddenly dropped.
Fan Yuan, who was already weak and had a hand-to-hand fight with the maid, shook his whole body and couldn't help but sneeze. He quickly reached out to cover his mouth, his face turned pale.
Before going downstairs, his cousin Fan Xuan repeatedly reminded him that he should not be rude or make noise. Otherwise, if he offends the existence of the underworld, he will be in trouble.
Fan Xuan glared at him next to him.
With the cold wind, an old man walked in with a lantern in his hand.
The Fan brothers quickly lowered their heads slightly and did not dare to look directly.
Chen Tang looked at it and saw that it was an old man with a clear face, over 70 years old, with a spot on his face, and he could not see any blood. He was so white that he was scary. The flesh on his cheeks was almost gone and it was deeply concave.
The old man looked at him with a faint look and suddenly grinned: "Scholar, aren't you afraid of me?"
The voice was awkward and stiff, as if something was blocking my throat, and it was difficult to speak smoothly.
The Fan brothers were all shocked and looked at Chen Tang like a naughty man looking at "Qian Dali Man".
The two of them quickly moved quietly to the side, as if they were to stay away from Chen Tang to avoid suffering from the fish in the pond.
I heard Chen Tang answer: "You are a dead person, I am a living person. Why should living people be afraid of dead people?"
As soon as these words came out, Fan Xuan secretly called out "Oh no", and quickly moved again, and moved away three or four steps.
Fan Yuan even felt a little gloating in his heart: This guy is looking for death! Well, it’s best to die, so he asked him to take the City God exam, and then he and Fan Xuan will be safe.
"Qian Dashanren" laughed, but his face muscles were stiff, and he looked even more ugly than crying: "It's really interesting. It's not in vain that I spent ten years of yin energy to resurrect myself."
Chen Tang looked at him and suddenly said, "I thought you came to me specifically, why are there two of them?"
This sentence made the Fan brothers confused.
Fan Xuan's mind flashed and he thought to himself: "Can Chen Tang once provoked the underworld, and this Song Siming came to him specifically?"
In this way, wouldn’t my two brothers be implicated and suffered a disaster in vain?
Not a son of man!
Fan Xuan and Fan Yuan quickly walked a few more steps away, almost moving to the corner, and hid far away from Chen Tang, for fear that if they got closer, they would be struck by lightning.
Song Siming smiled and said, "I came for you." He paused and pointed to the Fan brothers: "He also came for them. You and the three other students will all be in my trap."
Chen Tang immediately understood: the emergence of Jidi Academy is by no means accidental. The so-called Academy is actually a tomb, a place where the underworld is dead. It appeared on this road because the emperor took the imperial examination this year and the disciples rushed to Beijing for the exam, and many people had to pass this road.
They are here, waiting for the rabbit.
However, it does not mean that all the testimonies can be seen in the eyes of the Yin and Juju. It has a screening standard.
Although I don’t know the specific standards for the time being, it probably has something to do with literary style. Just like pairing, it must be appropriate to have the conditions.
Because of this, the underworld will not act casually. After all, at the level of juren, basically everyone has the aura of fame and officialdom. If you start to deal with it, you have to pay a certain price.
This Song Siming resurrected the soul by borrowing the corpse and saying that it would take ten years of Yin Qi.
Yin Qi.
It is the unique aura of evil spirits, and it is not easy to accumulate and raise them.
Today, Chen Tang came out of Guoruo County and encountered heavy rain on the road. He happened to encounter a carriage controlled by the Dixue Academy to hunt. The rich young man was probably the target of being hunted.
Because he was attracted to it, Chen Tang was "invited" to get into the car. If he didn't get into the car, the other party would definitely use other tricks. Anyway, the ultimate goal was to get Chen Tang to the school.
However, when he arrived at the door, Chen Tang was alert and did not enter the door. Instead, he spat in the door and wanted to turn around and leave. He did not take the bait, so he forced the school to reveal his original body and asked the Song Si to crawl out of the tomb...
But the bearded man who had been trapped in it for more than ten years recognized the Heavenly Man Sword Box, sacrificed the flying sword, pierced the ban on the Yin and Yang realms, and helped Chen Tang escape.
At night, Song Siming, who was unwilling to let Chen Tang escape, resurrected himself by borrowing his corpse and chasing him to the town.
The whole thing is really tortuous and bizarre and incredible.
Fan Xuan on the other side was not aware of the twists and turns, and said, "Mr. Siming, do you want me to take the City God exam? But as far as I know, only dead people are qualified."
Song Siming nodded: "Not bad."
Fan Xuanxi said: "In this way, we don't agree. Can we leave?"
Song Siming laughed strangely: "I ignorant, if you cut off your head, will you all become dead?"
As soon as these words came out, the inn gate closed, and the cold wind swept over and the sound was whimpering.
