Novel Bin Chapter 105 – Mr. Black
Chapter 105 – Mr. Black
Not far from where the thunder had struck, many scholars had gathered, attracted by the strange phenomenon of the Thunder Strike Valley, all of them poor scholars hoping to find treasures.
Among these scholars was someone Su Yun was familiar with, Lin Qingsheng from the Shuofang Lin family!
Besides Lin Qingsheng, there were also some spiritual masters who were probably Lin family descendants.
The Shuofang Lin family was also a big family!
According to reason, the descendants of aristocratic families would not appear in the treasure lands of other aristocratic families, even if they were unowned lands.
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Entering someone else\'s treasure land could at any time become a sacrifice to someone else\'s treasure, but Lin Qingsheng and others appeared here, so it could not help but arouse Su Yun\'s suspicion.
"Sister, is it possible that the treasure of the Thunder Strike Valley requires many lives to be sacrificed in order to complete this spiritual weapon? That\'s why the aristocratic families who control the Thunder Strike Valley deliberately released news that the Thunder Strike Valley lineage has already died out, luring more scholars to their deaths."
Su Yun looked far away and whispered, "And this family is actually the Shuofang Lin family."
Chi Xiaoyao shook her head repeatedly, "No, the family that controls the Thunder Strike Valley has already been extinct, that news has been circulating for many years. If it\'s false, why haven\'t other aristocratic families exposed it..."
Her voice became lower and less certain.
Lin Qingsheng was the first in the examination two years ago, and the future of the Lin family might even fall into his hands. His appearance here was definitely not simple!
Could it be that the Thunder Strike Valley was really a trap set by the Lin family?
"You\'ll know when you go up and take a look."
Chi Xiaoyao\'s face was solemn, "I\'ll go there. Su Junior Brother, Hua Junior Brother, you stay and watch over the three junior brothers and sisters. This adventure is not an ordinary adventure anymore, there may be life and death struggles!"
She was heroic, striding forward, gritting her teeth, "We can\'t let these aristocratic families act recklessly!"
Just then, a lightning bolt in the sky deviated from the Thunder Strike Valley and struck outside the valley.
Crack!
The thunder fell outside the valley, making a deafening sound.
Su Yun, Hua Hu, and others turned around to see black smoke rolling outside the valley. They looked up, but the thunderclouds in the sky seemed to be attracted by something and no longer struck towards the precious treasures in the valley. Instead, one thunderbolt after another struck outside the valley. They didn\'t know what had happened outside the valley!
The black smoke outside the valley became thicker and thicker.
Chi Xiaoyao quickly said, "Junior Brothers, there\'s something evil coming, even more terrifying than the precious treasure of the Thunder Strike Valley! Come over quickly!"
Su Yun and Hua Hu hurriedly led three little fox demons and rushed towards the big crack in the Thunder Strike Valley.
The terrain of the Thunder Strike Valley was steep and the valley had a crack half a mile wide and four or five miles long, like the mouth of a mountain valley splitting open.
This crack was the Flame Dragon Golden Crystal Vein. It was said that the earth was shattered, and the Flame Dragon drove the fire out of the ground, and people entered the crack to see that the stone walls were full of shining golden crystals!
Later, the Thunder Strike Valley was blocked, and various seals and prohibitions were laid down to refine treasures. Gradually, it became a place where few people visited.Before the crack, many scholars were alarmed by the black smoke outside the valley, panicked and rushed into the crack to hide.
The black smoke approached, and within it were the sounds of ghostly cries and wolf howls, extremely tragic. The thunder in the sky became more urgent, and lightning struck into the black smoke one after another. No one knew what kind of monsters were inside.
Su Yun, Hua Hu, and Chi Xiaoyao stepped back, and behind them was the great rift. They had nowhere to go.
Su Yun looked back and saw a straight abyss below, with vaguely visible stone beams criss-crossing the abyss. Many scholars displayed their martial arts or divine powers and leaped down, and many people were already walking on the huge stone beams!
Even the dozen or so spiritual masters of the Lin family were forced to enter the abyss to avoid the black smoke.
At this time, the black smoke gradually faded, and the thunderclouds in the sky were no longer attracted to the black smoke. It seemed that there was no interest in the monsters inside the black smoke. Thunderbolts fell from the thunderclouds in the sky and passed through the criss-crossing abyss stone beams.
The thunder exploded underground, extremely dull, and no one knew what these thunderbolts were hitting.
After each thunder strike, a bright red light could be seen rushing up from the ground like a tide, rushing into the sky, shining on the thunderclouds!
When the thunder fell, the shadows of many scholars in the abyss were illuminated. The figures on the stone beams appeared extremely small, but their shadows were stretched rapidly.
Su Yun glanced hurriedly and estimated that there were probably three to five hundred scholars who had entered the abyss.
If it were a treasure land of a noble family, it would not be able to attract so many scholars, but the Thunderbolt Valley was ownerless, and everyone wanted to get the treasures of the Thunderbolt Valley, so there were many people.
Regardless of the past, many people were watching and did not dare to enter the abyss to search for treasures, but the black smoke that attacked from outside the valley was really frightening, and they had to enter the abyss.
Su Yun turned around and saw that the black smoke that had forced them here was getting lighter, but it was still terrifyingly close.
"Junior Brother Su, let\'s go down too!" Chi Xiaoyao was extremely nervous and called out.
She took the lead, her feet turned into dragon claws, grabbing the rocks on the cliff and heading towards the abyss. She thought to herself, "Junior Brother Su\'s buttocks are not completely healed. I don\'t know if he can keep up?"
She turned her head and saw Su Yun directly transforming his blood and qi into a dragon, standing on the back of the dragon, and the dragon carried him towards the abyss.
Hua Hu, Li Xiaofan, and others followed him, also stepping on the dragon, and they were calm.
Chi Xiaoyao was relieved. After a while, they came to the first stone beam, and looking down, they couldn\'t see the bottom.
Looking up, they saw that the black smoke had already reached above the great rift, completely blocking the four to five miles wide and half a mile long great rift!
Crack!
The great rift was blocked, and the thunder in the sky became extremely violent. Dozens of thunderbolts struck in the black smoke, and only a scholar danced his hands and feet, falling out of the black smoke.
Plop!
Several little foxes were startled and hurriedly hid behind Su Yun, Hua Hu, and Chi Xiaoyao. They saw the scholar lying on the stone beam in front of them, lying in a prone position.
Crack! Crack!
Thunderbolts fell from the sky and hit the back of the scholar\'s head. The scholar\'s limbs twitched constantly.
After a while, the thunder seemed to vent its anger, bypassed the scholar and the stone beam, and struck towards the deep abyss below.
"That monster in the black smoke seems to be a human." Su Yun was surprised. Li Xiaofan picked up a stone and threw it at the scholar\'s buttocks. The scholar suddenly raised his hand and scratched his buttocks.
Everyone was shocked: "He\'s still alive!"Chi Xiaoyao\'s face changed slightly, and she whispered, "Wait, this person seems to be from our academy... it\'s really him, Master Lingyue! Let\'s go, let\'s go, if we don\'t leave now, it\'ll be too late!"
As she spoke, the scholar stood up unsteadily.
Chi Xiaoyao looked at the scholar with fear in her eyes, constantly backing away and urging, "Junior Brother, let\'s leave here quickly. Master Lingyue of the Confucian Academy is naturally struck by lightning. If we get too close to him, we\'ll be struck by lightning too..."
Su Yun and Hua Hu quickly followed her with the little fox demons. Chi Xiaoyao didn\'t dare to walk on the stone beam anymore and chose to walk on the cliff.
Looking from afar, Su Yun saw that Master Lingyue of Wenchang Academy had already stood up, adjusted his hat that was struck by lightning, and then another thunderbolt struck him directly in the forehead, knocking his hat askew.
Master Lingyue suddenly turned around and grinned at Su Yun and the others. "So it\'s Xiaoyao from the Medical Academy."
Chi Xiaoyao exclaimed and almost fell off the cliff. She held onto Qing Qiuyue tightly as if she were a lifesaver.
Su Yun was puzzled and didn\'t know why Chi Xiaoyao was so afraid of Master Lingyue.
Master Lingyue took a step forward, and black smoke immediately rose up under his feet. Countless words flew around in the smoke, which startled Su Yun and Hua Hu.
Other Confucian scholars\' writings were beautiful, and the recitation of the Confucian skills could be heard. But when Master Lingyue\'s writings were revealed, it was a wailing and miserable sight.
Master Lingyue walked on the black clouds, and the black smoke spread everywhere. As he walked, the black smoke became thicker and had already submerged half of the scholar, leaving only his head exposed.
At this moment, even the thunderbolts in the sky didn\'t strike into the abyss but crazily struck his head!
In just a short moment, he was struck by dozens of heavenly thunders, but he remained unscathed, except for the hair in his hat that was smoking. It was unclear if it was due to his Confucian skills or if it was burnt.
"There are also a few new scholars."
Master Lingyue stopped more than ten feet away from them, with a kind and friendly face, and said with a smile, "Are you Hua Hu? Your Confucian skills have already made some progress. After the school starts, you will be my student."
His gaze swept over the faces of the other three little fox demons, and he smiled, "Are Qin, Qiu, and Xiao Fan also interested in learning Confucianism?"
The three little fox demons looked at him with horror, and the black smoke from the writings had already reached his mouth and nose.
The three little fox demons shook their heads repeatedly.
"And the top-ranked scholar in this year\'s exam, Su?"
Master Lingyue smiled and said, "Su, do you have any interest in coming to my Confucian Academy?"
Su Yun bowed and said, "Scholar pays respect to Master Lingyue. I haven\'t considered which academy to join yet. Does Master have any suggestions... Ouch!"
Chi Xiaoyao reached out and twisted his wound on the buttocks, interrupting his words. She spoke boldly and trembled, "Master Lingyue, we still have three children here. You should leave quickly..."
Master Lingyue sighed and said, "Many people insult and misunderstand me, not knowing that I am full of righteousness. Even the scholars of the academy don\'t understand me."
He swayed and walked on the black clouds, disappearing into the abyss below.
Su Yun, Hua Hu, and the others looked down and saw that the black clouds were getting thicker and gradually filling the great rift.
Boom!
Dozens of thunderbolts fell and hit Master Lingyue\'s head in the rolling black smoke.
"Ouch!"The black smoke dissipated. Su Yun looked around and saw Master Lingyue lying face down on a stone beam dozens of zhangs below, with thunderbolts striking his head like angry swords, just like what had happened earlier.
In the distance, other scholars fled in panic, as if they were avoiding a plague god.
Hua Hu muttered, "What kind of sin did this man commit to incur the wrath of heaven like this?"
Su Yun was also terrified and whispered, "Senior Sister Xiaoyao, should we still go down?"
However, Chi Xiaoyao breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Of course we should go down! With Master Lingyue here, not only are we safe, but all the other scholars who come here for training are safe too!"
Su Yun was puzzled. Master Lingyue was clearly a person who did many evil deeds that went against the will of heaven. Why did his arrival actually make them safe?
Chi Xiaoyao took the lead and explained, "Although Master Lingyue has a bad reputation, and most of the rumors about the bad things that happened in the Wenchang Academy were caused by him, he has one advantage: he attracts bad luck."
"Attracts bad luck?"
"By attracting bad luck, all the bad things will inexplicably come to him. He is like a walking corpse flower, and misfortune is like flies. As long as Master Lingyue appears, all the bad luck will fly towards him, and everyone else will be safe."
Chi Xiaoyao earnestly warned them, "However, if you get too close to Master Lingyue, you will be implicated by him, and you may even die without knowing how you died. You will be killed by him inexplicably."
