Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 3. Judgement Road

Xu Zhiqiong hid Juyuan Pill in his arms, smirked all the way and walked towards his own house.

He laughed at everyone, and the scars on his face were twisted in the smile, which looked particularly funny.

"Who is this idiot?"

"This is Senior Brother Xu, you don't even know him, this is a well-known fool in our academy."

Xu Zhiqiong smiled at the two juniors, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Liu De'an wrapped in bandages.

The two looked at each other for a moment, Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said, "What do you see?"

Liu De'an quickly looked away, bowed his head and left.

From today onwards, he never dared to face Xu Zhiqiong again.

When he was about to reach the courtyard of the Zhaishe, a beautiful woman walked up to Xu Zhiqiong and asked with concern: "Senior Brother Xu, are you injured?"

Such a pleasant voice, with a refreshing fragrance, like a cup of freshly brewed green tea.

"Junior Sister Han, it's you!" Xu Zhiqiong laughed innocently.

This is the legendary school belle Han Di.

In the original owner's memory, all the memories related to Han Di were so dazzling that Xu Zhiqiong couldn't see her face clearly.

This time Xu Zhiqiong saw it clearly.

Beautiful, indeed beautiful, oval face, almond-shaped eyes, thin lips and eyebrows, she is an impeccable beauty in any era.

She is not only the school flower of Wuche Academy, but also has a good reputation in other academies. She is a student of Xuanniao Academy under Suzaku Palace, a student of Haoran Academy under Confucianism, and a student of Zhenge Academy under Military School...all students have attracted her attention. Visiting, it is said that even the ascetics under the Mohist sect have been here.

Every time he saw Junior Sister Han, Xu Zhiqiong worried that his heart would jump out of his chest, but today Xu Zhiqiong couldn't.

Xu Zhiqiong pretended to be very excited, but a woman's intuition told Han Di that Xu Zhiqiong was not so enthusiastic today.

He is mad at me?
Impossible, how could this fool be angry with me!

I let this fool die, and he won't even blink.

Han Di adjusted his eyes and let the faint tears cover his pupils: "Brother, you are so stupid, why did you fight with that rascal Liu De'an?"

Xu Zhiqiong sniffed his nose, and said naively: "It's not a fight, it's just a joke. It's a misunderstanding, just let it go."

"I heard that the trouble came to the dean, did the dean punish you?"

"No fine, just scolded me a few words."

Looking at the scars on Xu Zhiqiong's face, Han Di felt distressed all over his face. Taking advantage of no one around, he gently touched Xu Zhiqiong's face.

What a soft hand, the tea fragrance is stronger.

"Good brother, does it hurt?"

Xu Zhiqiong said shyly, "It doesn't hurt at all when you touch it."

"Senior brother, come to my house for a sit down?"

"Not right, not right," Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said, "I'm a man's family, how can I go to your women's fasting house, besides, the dean still makes me think about it behind closed doors."

"Think about it now?" Han Di blinked his big watery eyes, "The academy is about to be closed, why do you think about it?"

"Blocked?" Xu Zhiqiong was taken aback, "What's the reason?"

"Brother, are you confused? Today is the [-]th of the first lunar month, and the first day of February is the big exam. From tonight onwards, the academy will be closed, and the students have to go home."

Three days later, so fast!
I haven't figured out my way yet!

Xu Zhiqiong tried his best to conceal his surprise, scratched his scalp and continued to play dumb: "I think the dean is confused and scolded me too. I have to go back to the dormitory to pack my things."

gone?This is gone?
Han Di was stunned.

Talking to me, he is willing to go first?

Xu Zhiqiong turned around and really wanted to leave, Han Di hurriedly called him to stop.

After such a big circle, we haven't talked about the business yet.

"Senior brother, you said at the beginning that the dean has a way to let you pass the big exam, and that way...is it given to you?"

Is there a way for me?

Didn't you come up with the solution?
Do you want to make it so obvious?
Xu Zhiqiong turned his head and looked at his junior sister with a silly smile.

Han Di moved closer to Xu Zhiqiong, and gently took Xu Zhiqiong's hand at a distance where they could feel the body temperature: "Little sister doesn't want to take advantage of senior brother, but my talent is not good, and she doesn't look like senior brother." You have the luck to be favored by the dean..."

Speaking of this, Han Di choked up: "My little sister really wants to pass the big exam, so I can only ask my brother to help me, even if I can get half of it."

Look at the sincerity of the junior sister.

Touch the soft little hand of Junior Sister.

You can see how caring they are, they don't want everything, even if it's only half.

Even if it's only half!
Xu Zhiqiong hurriedly said: "How about half of it! The senior brother's is the junior sister's. I will give you all as much as I have."

Tears flooded into Han Di's eyes in an instant: "Senior brother, my little sister will always remember the friendship of senior brother in this life!"

In the second half of the sentence, Xu Zhiqiong thought about it for her: in the next life, he will be a cow and a horse before repaying my kindness.

Xu Zhiqiong looked around and found that there was no one there. He lowered his voice and said to Han Di: "I will give you the method the dean gave me now, and you must not tell others."

Han Di nodded and said: "Little sister is tight-lipped."

Xu Zhiqiong lowered his voice: "The dean told me to study hard."

Han Di turned his ears sideways, waited for a long time, and found that Xu Zhiqiong only said this sentence.

"Brother, I didn't hear what you said just now."

"Work hard!" Xu Zhiqiong repeated, smiled innocently, and went back to the dormitory.

Junior Sister Han stood where she was, without moving for a long time, letting the fragrance of tea all over her body be blown away by the cold wind.

……

Entering the courtyard of the Zhaishe, Xu Zhiqiong saw a burly figure.

I thought it was Chu He who had returned, but when the other party turned around, it turned out to be Wei Chi Lan, the elder sister.

Xu Zhiqiong's heart skipped a beat.

After chatting with Han Di for so long, Xu Zhiqiong's heart has not moved.

Seeing the elder sister, Xu Zhiqiong's heart moved.

Just a moment.

But it moved violently.

Yu Chilan is very beautiful, not even inferior to Han Di in terms of face and facial features, but her figure does not match the aesthetics of this era.

She is eight feet tall (more than [-] meters) and weighs around [-] catties. This is obviously not the type that Daxuan men like, but Xu Zhiqiong likes it.

Such a good figure!
Looking at it from the front, it is a nurturing animal.

Looking at the back, it is a good birth.

On the whole, it is a good feed.

It's still the first month of the month, and the wind is quite cold. Xu Zhiqiong wiped his nose and the saliva from the corner of his mouth by the way: "Thank you, Senior Sister, for your help."

Yu Chilan smiled: "I'm just telling the truth, it's not worth saving you, I brought you a bottle of wound medicine."

Yu Chilan gave Xu Zhiqiong a porcelain bottle, and Xu Zhiqiong was a little embarrassed: "Here, Dean, I gave you the medicine."

Yu Chi Lan said displeased: "If you think my wound medicine is not good, then you return it to me!"

"Senior Sister's wound medicine is also good, I accept it..." Xu Zhiqiong put the wound medicine into his arms.

Why is she so nice to me?

She spoke for me just now, and now she is giving me wound medicine, is she also doing it for Juyuan Pill?
"The big exam is coming soon, take care of your wounds, you silly boy." Yu Chilan turned and left.

Just gone?
She is nice to me, just to be nice to me?

Senior sister left, looking at her stalwart back, Xu Zhiqiong searched the memory of the original owner.

The original owner hardly had much impression of the senior sister, as if he had eaten the Yitang, the lychee, the citrus, and the milk from the senior sister...

It's milk.

How does this silly boy know how to eat?With such a handsome beauty in front of her eyes, why didn't she know how to take a second look?

After returning to the studio, Xu Zhiqiong sat on the pouf and began to think about a series of questions.

First, how did he get here.

He died suddenly while drinking in another world, and the original owner was beaten to death in this world. By accident, the two may have exchanged identities. This is the only reasonable explanation at present.

Second, can you wear it back?
Judging from the current situation, it is impossible.

Third, what to do now?
You must pass the big test of the White Tiger Killing Dao.

When you come to this world, you have to live like a human being, you have to be worthy of your identity and status as a time traveler, and you have to seize every opportunity to live a better life for yourself.

The White Tiger Killing Dao Exam is a very important opportunity, but now Xu Zhiqiong needs to figure out one thing, what is White Tiger Killing Dao?
The original owner studied at Wu Che Academy for ten years, and memorized all thirty-two volumes of martial arts and twenty-two volumes of killing scriptures. He worked hard, but his IQ is really limited, and he has not yet figured out how to kill. Tao concept.

Xu Zhiqiong's IQ is very high now, so after sorting out his memory roughly, he can sort out the context.

This is an extraordinary world. The extraordinary power of the Daxuan Empire is dominated by the power of the Dao Sect. The Dao is divided into four sects, namely the Dao of Overbearing, the Dao of Killing, the Dao of Life and the Dao of Underworld.

Overbearing is blessed by the true god Canglong, also known as Canglong Overbearing, and so on, followed by White Tiger Killing Dao, Suzaku Sheng Dao and Xuanwu Ming Dao.

In addition to the four ways, there are heretics. I will think about this later, and I can't stop thinking.

Think about the knowledge learned by Baihu Shadao first. The martial arts classics explain the means of mobilizing energy to enhance force, and the killing scripts explain the skills of fighting in front of battle.

In a nutshell, the Dao of Killing is the Dao of Martial Arts.

So what is the martial arts test?

Xu Zhiqiong scanned the room and saw a stack of stone slabs in the corner of the room.

Each slab is more than two inches thick and is the hardest black stone on the mountain.

Xu Zhiqiong found painful memories on the slate.

Could this be...

That's right, this is it, this is the content of the exam for Baihu Shadao.

To graduate from Wu Che Academy, one must reach the ninth rank of White Tiger Killing Dao.Ninth-rank cultivators will master a skill, this skill is called cracking stones.

Use Qi to mobilize the whole body's strength, strengthen a part of the body, so that the body can break stones.

The Dao of Killing Exam is just so straightforward. If you can break the slate, you can pass the exam. If you keep playing, you won't graduate.

If you don't graduate, you can't repeat the study, and you can't retake the exam, which means that you have no chance of fame in this life.

The original owner has a cultivation base of the lower ninth rank, and he has already mastered the stone-cracking technique. In theory, he should be able to break the stone slab.

However, the lower level of the ninth rank cannot produce enough energy, so the skills cannot be used stably, that is to say, the skills have a certain trigger probability, which is about [-]%.

But the exam is only allowed to try once, which means that Xu Zhiqiong only has a [-]% chance of passing the exam, and everything depends on luck on the day of the exam.

If you want to use skills stably, you have to reach the middle of the ninth rank. Because Xu Zhiqiong has not reached the middle of the ninth rank, the dean is worried that he will not pass the big test.

But the situation is different now, Xu Zhiqiong has Juyuan Pill, the top-grade medicine that has been produced by Yinyang Division for twelve years.

The Department of Yin and Yang is the exclusive institution of the Yin and Yang family. The Yin and Yang family is a practice system other than the Four Ways. It belongs to one of the hundred schools of heretics. There are also Confucianism, military school, Mohist school, Lingxiu, eunuchs...

The Yin Yang family is best at alchemy, drawing talismans, arranging formations, stargazing, divination and other methods.

This top-grade elixir is equivalent to a small nuclear power plant, it can continuously provide energy in Xu Zhiqiong's body, and it can also broaden the veins and improve his cultivation.

After taking this elixir, it is no problem to pass the big test. The effect of the elixir can last for a year in the body. Not surprisingly, Xu Zhiqiong can be promoted to the eighth rank within one year.

Wu Che Academy educates seventy Dao-killing students every year, and at most five or six of these students will be promoted to the eighth rank throughout their lives. How precious is this pill!

Why did the dean give me such a precious pill?

It must be because of my mother, there must be a beautiful story between them...

Like Xu Zhiqiong, Han Di only had the cultivation base of the lower rank of ninth grade. She got close to Xu Zhiqiong just for this pill, in exchange for the original owner's licking dog. This pill has now entered Han Di's hands.

It's a pity that Xu Zhiqiong has no feelings for Han Di.

Yu Shan has already reached the lower level of the eighth rank, passing the big test is not a problem, but he also wants this Juyuan pill, although it can't let him directly rise to the seventh rank, but at least it can let him rise to the upper rank of the eighth rank.

He learned the news from Han Di that the dean intends to give the Juyuan Pill to Xu Zhiqiong. In his opinion, it is a waste of money to give this pill to Xu Zhiqiong, so he designed to frame Xu Zhiqiong. Expelled Xu Zhiqiong from the academy, and then used his father's identity to get Juyuan Pill from the dean.

No matter how lofty the dean is, facing the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and the second-rank compound, he will always give him this face.

But now Juyuan Pill is finally in Xu Zhiqiong's hands.

It's okay to grab it from Xu Zhiqiong's hand, but Yu Shan is worried that this fool will eat the pill at any time!
Xu Zhiqiong took out the elixir and smiled.

It's not a silly smile of a fool, but a grin of wisdom.

So many people wanted Juyuan Pill, Xu Zhiqiong knew he couldn't keep it.

Just eat it now, so as not to have long nights and dreams.

The elixir was about the size of a walnut. Xu Zhiqiong could bear this size. He is a ruthless person who doesn't even use water when taking medicine.

When the elixir came to his lips, Xu Zhiqiong hesitated.

The dean's worry is not unreasonable. Just after taking the elixir, a strong aura will be emitted from his body. According to the school rules, he cannot take the elixir before the big exam. If he is caught again...

It doesn't matter if you catch them, many students take pills before the exams, and in the memory of the original owner, no one seems to be punished for the exams over the years.

He was about to stuff the pill into his mouth when the old man's voice suddenly appeared in his ears: "Don't eat it, don't eat it, if you eat it, your Ren Meridian will explode."

Ren vein burst?Why?
say something?

Xu Zhiqiong waited for a long time and there was no response. It seemed that the old man couldn't hear the voice in his head.

Xu Zhiqiong whispered softly: "Why did the Ren meridian explode?"

The old man responded that he could see, hear, and talk to Xu Zhiqiong, but he couldn't hear Xu Zhiqiong's inner voice, so it was speculated that he was not in Xu Zhiqiong's body.

"Because someone changed the direction of your Ren Meridian, the qi mechanism cannot flow normally."

"Who changed my Renmai?"

"It was reformed by the poor, you don't have to be polite."

I set you up...

Xu Zhiqiong greeted the Taoist priest lightly in his heart, but not too deeply, he was worried that he would not be able to control his expression.

He claimed to be poor and proved to be a Taoist priest.

The world is dominated by the power of Taoism, and practitioners of the Four Directions are all Taoists, but in the memory of the original owner, it seems that the practitioners of the Four Directions would not claim to be poor.

That's not the point!

The point is why did he change my veins?
Xu Zhiqiong was stunned for a long time, and asked, "Why did you do this? Why did you change my career?"

The old man replied: "Because of fate."

What fate?
Xu Zhiqiong looked at the Juyuan Pill in his hand: "You said you are destined for it?"

If this old man wanted to snatch Ju Yuan Pill, Xu Zhiqiong would never resist, he knew that he had no ability to resist.

The old man smiled: "This elixir is worthless in the eyes of the poor. It is because of your predestined relationship with the poor, and you are my disciple."

Xu Zhiqiong sniffed his nose and asked, "Dare to ask, which path are you on?"

"One of the Five Righteous Ways, the Judge's Way!"
