Liaozhai: A scholar should draw a sword

Chapter 38 New Mission: Establish a School

In the next few days, Zhou Yu was very busy.

The private school in this room is going to have classes, and the guests in that room are coming to visit in an endless stream.

After all, he had only accepted nine students in total, four of whom had no foundation at all.

In a short period of time, the other five students with basic skills became the first high school case, and the other four passed the entrance examination.

This kind of ability to turn decay into magic, not to mention Guobei County, I am afraid that no gentleman in the entire Jinhua Mansion can do it.

Therefore, many scholars in the city wanted to join Zhou Yu's sect.

Many parents who hope their children will become successful also hope that their children can enter the private school founded by Zhou Yu.

It also happened at this time that Zhou Yu received the task issued by the system:

【Advanced task】

【Establish a school, recruit at least fifteen students】

[Reward [-] (special item): a Guqin]

[Reward [-] (Exclusive Skill): Gas Town Mountains and Rivers]

[Note: Depending on the completion of the task, the corresponding luck value will be obtained]

For Zhou Yu, this task is also a sub-question.

After checking the skill effect of "Suppressing Mountains and Rivers of Qi", I found out that it is an auxiliary buff skill.

Casting this skill can increase the character's offensive and defensive capabilities, and the effect of the increase depends on the character's realm and luck value.

Every time it is cast, it needs to consume luck points, the lower limit is [-], and there is no upper limit.

That is to say, the more luck points consumed, the stronger the effect of skill enhancement, similar to krypton gold.

But in any case, since it is named "Qi Town Mountain and River", its power is impressive.

After taking over the task, Zhou Yu began to organize the academy.

The first thing he thought of was a large courtyard diagonally across the street and near the entrance of the alley.

The courtyard has been vacant for almost two years. Its owner is Yu Qian, a businessman who owns a lot of land in the countryside.

But Yu Qian was not the first owner of the big yard, he bought a second-hand yard.

After buying the yard, he spent a sum of money to buy an open space next to the backyard, and made a lot of renovations and expansions to make the yard look brand new.

Afterwards, the whole family happily moved in.

As a result, I never expected that when I moved in the day before, strange things happened early the next morning.

Yu Qian opened his eyes early in the morning, and was surprised to find himself lying on the ground.

If it is said that it rolled down in sleep, how can it be explained that the wife is also lying on the ground?

The husband and wife were puzzled, and they were afraid of causing panic to everyone, so they kept silent.

Unexpectedly, the same strange things happened every day, not only Yu Qian and his wife, but also his children and even the servants in the mansion also encountered similar supernatural events.

Yu Qian finally understood that he must have met the legendary ghost moving the bed.

So, I spent money to invite a so-called expert to come to do the practice, but it didn't work at all.

The family couldn't bear the shock, so they had to move back to the countryside and entrust someone to deal with the hospital.

However, the paper package was not popular, and this strange incident quickly spread in the city.

Who would spend money to buy a haunted house?Those who are not afraid of ghosts are often the kind of people who are not afraid of wearing shoes with bare feet. How can they have money to buy them?
Therefore, the price dropped again and again, and finally dropped to 900 taels of silver, but no one took over.

Under normal circumstances, according to the market conditions in Guobei County, this yard and the several acres of open space behind the yard would be worth 500 taels.

Before, Zhou Yu didn't pay attention to that courtyard.

But now, if we want to run a school, our own yard is enough, but after all, it is not a long-term solution, and we will have to expand the scale sooner or later.

With this in mind, he called Steward Wu and asked him to find Yu Qian to negotiate the sale of the yard.

Butler Wu was taken aback, and couldn't help but said, "Master, that yard... isn't clean, what are you buying it for?"

Zhou Yu naturally knew what Steward Wu meant by unclean, but he deliberately said: "If it is unclean, just clean it up."

"My lord, what the villain means is... that yard... is haunted..."

"Ridiculous!" Zhou Yu scolded solemnly: "You don't talk about strange powers and chaos, and the universe is clear, where are the monsters and ghosts?"

Butler Wu: "..."

Then what was it that went to kill outside the city last time?

"Remember, there is nothing in the world, and people are disturbing themselves. You don't have to say more, the master has made up his mind, so you can talk about it."

Speaking of this, how dare Butler Wu say more?He could only say goodbye and leave.

It worked out pretty well.

When Yu Qian heard that it was Zhou Juren who wanted to buy the yard, without waiting for Butler Wu to bargain, he took the initiative to give up another 100 taels.

One was in a hurry to buy, the other was in a hurry to sell, and the sales contract was finalized in two or three days.

After paying the money, Zhou Yu got another property.

800 taels of silver was not a big amount to him, and his family had several thousand taels of silver in cash anyway.

There are more than 300 mu of land outside the city, which is rented every year.

On the afternoon of the day when the yard was bought, two unexpected guests came to the mansion: Zhiqiu Yiye and Yan Chixia.

At the beginning, Zhou Yu had invited Zhiqiu, and said that if he had the chance, he would bring Hero Yan to his residence as guests, and he would prepare fine wine to get drunk before resting.

Never thought, they really came.

As soon as they met, Zhiqiu cheerfully pointed to Yan Chixia and introduced: "Sir, this is the well-known Great Xia Yan..."

"Hero Yan, I have admired him for a long time. In the next Zhou Yu, although he is a scholar, he has heard the reputation of Hero Yan for a long time..."

Yan Chixia clasped her fists back and saluted with a smile: "Sir, there is no need to be too polite. In fact, Yan used to be a scholar, so his name is Yansheng."

"Hahaha, that would be even better, both of you please come inside quickly."

Entering the hall, the three of them sat down respectively, Qiuxiang and Azhu handed tea and fruit to each other.

"Qiu Xiang, hurry up and arrange a table of good wine and good food. The master will have a good drink with the two heroes tonight."

"Yes, sir!"

After chatting for a while, Zhou Yu inadvertently mentioned Lanruo Temple.

"Hero Yan, I heard that Zhiqiu said that you are currently living in seclusion in Lanruo Temple, but it is said that there are many demons and ghosts haunting Lanruo Temple and Montenegro..."

"That's right!"

Yan Chixia nodded calmly.

"Oh? If that's the case, why does the hero Yan want to live in it?"

Yan Chixia smiled self-deprecatingly: "Wandering around the world, I finally realized that the human world is too complicated to tell right from wrong.

Living with ghosts and spirits, instead of black and white, good and evil are clearly distinguished.

In front of people, I regard myself as a ghost.In front of the ghost, I regard myself as a human being.

Sometimes I don’t even know what I am, whether I’m a human or a ghost…”

Hearing these words, Zhiqiu's eyes lit up, and he said, "Hero Yan, this shows that your realm has probably transcended Yin and Yang, and reached a mysterious realm.

Once you understand it, maybe you will soar in the daytime..."

Yan Chixia smiled wryly and shook her head: "Ascension in the daylight? How could it be as easy as you said?"

Zhou Yu's heart skipped a beat, because he suddenly realized that Zhiqiu's casual remarks were not unreasonable.

Judging by Yan Chixia's current cultivation base and state, it does seem to be stuck in a bottleneck.

Once you get rid of this bottleneck, the sky will be high and the sea will be wide.

If you can't break free, you will eventually return to the origin of the cycle of life and death, ashes to ashes, dust to dust...
