Liaozhai: A scholar should draw a sword

Chapter 83 Girl, Mingren Don't Say Secret Words

The arrival of several Juren made Zhou Yu secretly happy.

Because once the academy opens, it will definitely have to hire a few gentlemen.

There are many scholars, but it is difficult to support the teaching of the entire academy.Since these Juren came to study, they can also teach in the academy while studying.

So, Zhou Yu communicated with each of these candidates separately, and felt that they were okay, so he accepted them as disciples one by one.

Seeing that Zhou Yu was busy with the affairs of the academy, Bai Min'er temporarily gave up traveling and stayed by her side to help with some things.

For example, the Academy and the Marquis Mansion are under construction, and they have to check the progress and quality from time to time, as well as purchase some valuables and so on.

Zhou Yu is mainly responsible for receiving and assessing the students who come to study.

According to his plan, the first batch of [-] students must have a certain foundation.

For those who are young and have no foundation at all, they will stay in the school in the city in the future, and someone will be responsible for the enlightenment teaching.

Because more people came to study, Zhou Yu's requirements for candidates also increased accordingly.

In addition to foundation and talent, it is also necessary to test the character of the students.

Those with bad character will not be considered.

On this day, it rained heavily.

It was rare for Zhou Yu to be free, staying in the study with the two beauties...

One is Bai Min'er and the other is Mo Chou.

Now, Mo Chou can appear in the daytime after training, but she is still afraid of light, so she dare not leave the study for the time being.

Bai Min'er talked about some of her experiences of cultivation and travel, and Mo Chou also talked about some things about her life.

Zhou Yu sat quietly on the chair, sipping tea and listening, occasionally interjecting a few words, exclaiming or something.

While chatting, Bai Min'er suddenly mentioned a name: Zhuge Wolong.

"When I was walking in the rivers and lakes, I often heard people mention Zhuge Wolong. I think this person must be a master..."

Hearing this, Zhou Yu couldn't help but feel his heart move.

This person is a disciple of the Zhuge family, knowledgeable and talented, and enjoys a very high prestige in the Jianghu.

Hearing what Bai Min'er said, Zhuge Wolong had committed some crimes and been imprisoned in Fengchi County Prison for several years.

In the future, when I have a chance, I will see if I can rescue him and hire him as the lecturer of the academy.

Time flies.

Before I knew it, another half month had passed.

Zhou Yu's side has gone through some assessment and screening, and has preliminarily selected more than 100 students.

Among them are Tongsheng, Xiucai, and a few Juzi.

According to Zhou Yu's plan, the first batch of students will recruit about [-] students, so dozens of students will have to be selected next.

There is no shortage of students, even thousands of miles away, there are scholars who come here on a special trip.

Therefore, Zhou Yu has to carefully select, mainly to find some people with potential, pursuit, and ambition.

Those who only pursue fame and official career are hardly considered.

In addition to recruiting students, there are also people who recommend themselves and want to be teachers in the academy.

In this regard, Zhou Yu's requirements are even stricter.

The construction progress of the academy has also been rushing, including all facilities are also being prepared simultaneously.

The construction site is mainly guarded and supervised by Zhang Bold, and sometimes he has to drive to buy some materials.

Let’s say that in the evening, Zhang Boldly drank with several workers on the construction site.

When he was drunk, someone said: "Zhang Bold, everyone says you are brave, are you bragging?"

Zhang Bold immediately stared with drunken eyes, patted his chest and said: "My nickname Zhang Bold didn't come from blowing it up, if you don't believe me, let's bet."

This is his mantra, and he always bets with people.

"Just bet!"

The opponent is also excited.

Others also started to join in the fun.

"In this way, it is not realistic to let you go to Montenegro, so as not to say that we are a partner in bullying you.

There is an abandoned small courtyard three or four miles to the east of this place, if you have the ability, go to sleep for a night. "

Zhang boldly poked his neck: "Just go, what are you betting on?"

"Gamble three hundred coins, plus a meal of wine."

"A word is settled!"

Zhang boldly took advantage of the strength of wine, and when it was dark, he left the construction site and went straight to the small courtyard the other party mentioned.

According to the agreement, he had to leave some marks in the small courtyard to prove that he had indeed spent the night in it.

After arriving at the small courtyard mentioned by the other party, Zhang Bold just realized that the place is very desolate, close to the foot of the mountain, there are no people around, and there are several deserted graves covered with weeds near the small courtyard.

It would be a lie to say that Zhang Bold is not afraid at all.

But he is indeed much more courageous than ordinary people, and besides, it is for a gamble and a bet of three hundred wen.

After observing the surrounding environment for a while, Zhang Boldly walked into the small courtyard by the faint starlight.

The yard is full of weeds, and the rooms are crooked, as if they might collapse at any moment.

Zhang boldly wandered around, picked up some dry grass and walked into a relatively intact wing room on the south side, planning to spend the night here.

Before going to sleep, he subconsciously touched a domino worn on his chest.

There is a talisman engraved on this domino, which he begged from a Taoist, who said it has the effect of warding off evil spirits.

Part of his courage is also derived from this domino.

Sleeping in a daze until midnight, suddenly my ears were itchy, as if mosquitoes were biting my ears.

"Snapped……"

Zhang Daudao is also a ruthless person, he gave himself a slap when he raised his hand.

As a result, he woke himself up.

When I opened my eyes, I couldn't help but shudder...

Because there was an extra woman in the room, she was all charming and wearing a long skirt that was half hidden and half see through, Zhang Bold couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

"Girl, you..."

His voice trembled a little.

"Brother, the little girl is lost and wants to stay here until dawn. I wonder if the elder brother is willing to take her in?"

Zhang Bold is not stupid, unlike some pedantic scholars who might really believe it.

I believe you a ghost!
However, he didn't lose his composure, and it wasn't the first time he encountered such a weird thing.

"Girl, otherwise, I'll leave this bunk for you to sleep in, and I'll go to sleep next door."

While speaking, Zhang boldly raised his leg and wanted to leave.

"Why is the eldest brother so indifferent? Do you really have the heart to leave the little girl alone? What if there is a ghost?"

Zhang Bold couldn't help being happy.

Turning around, she said with a smile: "Girl, smart people don't talk dark words, you don't even have a shadow, what the hell are you afraid of?"

Hearing this, the woman's expression changed, and she sneered, "I never thought you would be so courageous..."

"No, no, girl, don't get me wrong, the little one doesn't mean anything else, we all don't mess with the river, and go our separate ways after dawn..."

At this time, the female ghost smiled charmingly.

"I didn't expect this big brother to be interesting. Since you are not afraid of me, why don't you come and have fun..."

Zhang Bold waved his hands anxiously: "No, no, I'm afraid the little one will not be blessed..."

In this regard, he has a painful lesson.

That time, he couldn't control it and plunged headlong into it.

Fortunately, the other party didn't want to take his life, but Rao also lay in bed for a few days after returning home, his whole body was like a puddle of mud.

"Hmph, then it's up to you!"

The female ghost turned her face, waved her sleeves, and swept towards her like a spirit snake.

Fortunately, Zhang Boldly was prepared. He raised the domino and shouted at the same time: "Exorcise evil spirits, protect your life!"

This is a spell taught by the Taoist who gave him the dominoes, saying that it is used in conjunction with the dominoes.

Unexpectedly, it really had some effect, and the female ghost's sleeves shrank back.

"Girl, I have no intention of offending you, so please raise your hand..."

It's okay if you don't say it, but the female ghost gets even more angry when she says this.

"Damn it, how dare you play tricks on me? What can a small brand do to me?"

The female ghost floated closer and blew a breath of cold air on Zhang Bold.

Zhang Bold shuddered involuntarily, feeling dizzy, and there was a wave of evil fire rising up...

He knew that the female ghost had cast spells on him and wanted to control him.

In desperation, Zhang Bold suddenly yelled: "There is righteousness in the world!"

He often listened to some students singing righteous songs, so he also learned a few words.

Following this shout, Zhang Boldly bit the tip of his tongue: "Ah~ Bah!"

A mouthful of tongue blood mixed with saliva spewed out, and it was sprayed accurately on the female ghost's face.

"what!"

There was a scream in the room.

The female ghost covered her face with her hands, strands of green smoke could be seen escaping from between her fingers.

And at this time, Zhang Bold finally woke up, he was overjoyed, and while his mouth was still salty, he twitched his tongue quickly a few times: "Ah ~ drink ~ bah!"

Another mouthful of saliva mixed with blood from the tip of the tongue spewed out.

"what……"

The female ghost screamed again, and fled away in a breeze.

In the night sky, there was a vicious voice: "Damn it, if you dare to hurt me, I will not let you go."

No matter how bold Zhang Bold was, he didn't dare to stay here any longer.

But this guy is also a weirdo, he still remembered the bet, and hurriedly drew a few symbols on the wall before leaving in a hurry.

After running so far, I couldn't help but stop, and then I thought, if I go back to the construction site now, wouldn't it be a waste of work?
And almost bewitched by ghosts.

No, I can't go back.

After thinking about it, I just went home and slept for a while.

His home is not far from here, about four or five miles away, in a small market town called Donglinpo.

The key is……

Being teased by that female ghost just now, Zhang Boldly became angry, so he ran fast all the way, wanting to go home and find a wife...

With motivation in his heart, Zhang Bold ran to the door of the house in one breath.

His home is located on the edge of the market town, a single family with a small yard.

After patting on the door a few times, Zhang Boldly said in a choked voice, "Daughter-in-law, open the door, it's me..."

Zhang Bold's daughter-in-law's nickname is Cuihua, she is delicate and watery, and she is a beauty in the market town, which is Zhang Bold's pride.

After a while, the courtyard door finally opened.

"Cuihua, why did it take so long to open the door?"

"How dare you say that, you damn ghost? Are you trying to scare people to death by knocking on the door in the middle of the night?"

"Hey, don't you miss your wife? Close the door soon..."

As soon as he entered the room, Zhang Dao hurriedly began to take off his clothes.

In the end, Cuihua looked disgusted and said: "Look at your disheveled appearance, you smell of sweat, go wash it quickly, otherwise you will never go to bed."

"Cuihua, what time is it? If you wait any longer, it will be daylight."

"Stop talking nonsense and go quickly."

In desperation, Zhang Bold had no choice but to walk out of the room and ran to the kitchen to scoop up water and take a bath...
