Chapter 165: Quarrel and Bells

The candied dates in the South Street shop are really good. Of course, what’s even better is that Chen Chao has never spent money since that day. I think after today, he won’t have to spend money to eat in many places in Shendu. .

But it’s best to eat freshly made food, otherwise it won’t taste as good as it did at that time.

Chen Chao ate candied dates and listened to the sounds by the lake, completely ignoring them.

He just looked at the morning light by the lake, feeling a little absent-minded.

Someone looked at Chen Chao and said angrily, "Crazy man, how dare you do this?!"

After hearing these words, Chen Chao came back to his senses and looked at the young monk, but he only glanced at him and quickly looked away.

He has had a lot of quarrels these days, and now he really doesn't want to quarrel anymore. .🅆.

Moreover, after the fight, he was really tired, and even after resting for so many days, he still didn't recover.

He looked directly at the young monk and said, "This is the rule. If it doesn't say you can't kill, then kill him."

If you know the cause and effect of the matter, you will know it. If you don't know, there is no point in telling him.

No one would believe it anyway.

"You are seeking personal revenge and venting your personal grudges. A person like you is not worthy of being the leader of a martial arts test!"

A young monk condemned, "You are not qualified to be this leader!"

Chen Chao looked at him, shook his head and said, "I have never heard of such a rule. If you kill someone, you cannot be a leader. Where did it say that?"

This reform of the martial arts test made it very clear that there are no rules.

It only depends on the number of monsters killed and the level of realm, and nothing else.

"You're not just like that. You attracted mountain ghosts and killed and injured many fellow Taoists."

The monks all opened their mouths to condemn, and their voices were very fierce.

Someone said, "Let me be fair. The purpose of this reform of Wanliu Society is to train the young monks in preparation for when the monster clan goes south. We monks can also do something for the human race. Since It is for training, so you should not kill people based on your own personal grudges. In this case, there is no original intention of holding the Wanliu Society. This is the first Wanliu Society of the reform. If such a person is allowed to If you become the leader, what’s the point of the Wanliu Society?”

>

As soon as he said this, the monks at the scene nodded. After saying so much, this sentence was somewhat fair, at least somewhat reasonable.

"You yourself know some things, but you insist on pretending to be deaf and dumb. When a group of people surrounded me, was it for exercise? If you like this kind of exercise, I will help you exercise right away."

Chen Chao stared at the young monk who spoke and said calmly, "I know you still have a lot of nonsense to say, but I don't want to talk to you at all. It's just that simple. A group of people talk and talk, but It’s jealousy and unwillingness that are at work. What can I do if I don’t want to be the leader? I have no ability, so what nonsense can I say?”

Chen Chao stared at the lake and said, "I know what else you want to say, but what about Song Changxi, he is a level higher than me, isn't he still defeated?"

He looked at everyone with a sneer, his eyes full of disdain.

"Only like a talkative woman? If I were you, what else could I say? Since I felt ashamed, I would have killed you with a piece of tofu. I don't know who taught you these nonsense and gossip?"

Chen Chao was already a little angry when he failed to stab Song Changxi to death, but now he heard these things by the lake, and he was even more angry.

I originally didn't plan to talk nonsense with these people, but now I have to talk nonsense, but Chen Chao is very good at killing people with words.

Long before, there were Taoist nuns and then academy students like Huang Xing. Who has not been hurt by his words?

Sure enough, after hearing these words, the monks by the lake all widened their eyes and cursed incessantly. But apart from the curses, there was actually more anger. Chen Chao's few words were like the sword falling. into their hearts.

No matter how hard they struggled, it was difficult to refute. After all, Song Changxi had proved that what Chen Chao said was correct with facts.

After saying this, Chen Chao was too lazy to talk to this person anymore. Instead, he looked at Wei Xu who was not far away and shouted, "Mr. Wei."

Wei Xu understood and looked towards the pavilion.

There was no reaction there.

In this matter, they couldn't say anything. Wei Xu knew the inside story, and they also knew it. So before, only a few young people could speak, and they couldn't do anything.

"According to the rules of the martial arts test, the results of this time's martial arts test leader have been announced."

Wei Xu emphasized the word "rules".

These are the two words that he has been saying, but have been trampled on, but in some cases, these two words still have some meaning.

At least for now, that's the case.

The big shots remained silent.

Wei Xu finally said the last few words.

The Liang Dynasty and the Chen Dynasty.

That was the leader of the martial arts test.

This is something that has never happened in the entire Daliang Dynasty for more than two hundred years. It is something that has never happened in the entire Daliang Dynasty for more than two hundred years.

The lakeside was quiet, no one cheered.

The monks outside the country will not cheer for this, and the officials and monks of the Liang Dynasty will not make any noise at this moment, but their faces are very excited, and those expressions cannot be fake.

But the lakeside is still very quiet.

After a while, a bell sounded.

During the literary test, a bell rang at the beginning and end of each session, which was announcing the beginning or end. The Wanliu Society was over. It was actually normal for the bells to rang.

But people all frowned.

Because the bell sound was not coming from nearby.

It sounded a bit far away.

In the distance.

Not by the lake.

Somewhere in the capital.

After a while, someone said in disbelief, "It's in the imperial city!"

After hearing this, everyone was still silent.

Chen Chao raised his head and looked towards the imperial city. His expression became extremely complicated, and the emotions in his eyes were even more complicated.

What does the bell sound mean?

What does the bell sound in the imperial city mean?

Is it the beginning or the end?

I think it's the latter.

r>  What's over?

…

…

In an imperial city, when the bell sounded, whether it was the guards, the eunuchs, or the palace servants, they all knelt down at this moment.

They put their heads on the ground and dared not make any sound, but some people's bodies began to twitch uncontrollably.

If you listen carefully, you can hear those low sobs.

Someone is crying.

Working in the imperial city, how could they not know what the biggest thing in the imperial city is now?

The bell rang, what does it mean, how could they not know.

The imperial city was silent, but there was a sense of sadness.

It permeated the entire imperial city.

Li Heng walked quietly in the imperial city, very slowly.

The young eunuch had no emotion on his face, and walked through one place after another expressionlessly, but soon, two lines of tears flowed from his eyes.

After knowing each other for many years, now is the last journey, he is naturally sad.

"Princess, have a good journey."

Li Heng spoke softly, with too much reluctance in his voice.

Li Heng suddenly stopped, sat down slowly on the spot, and then took out a small conch from his arms and blew it seriously.

Along with the bell, the sound of the conch also came out.

The two sounds intertwined and floated in the imperial city.

It was a very special sound.

It sounded like some crying, but more like a call.

Hearing this sound, a palace maid finally couldn't help crying. Even though she knew it was very impolite, she cried quietly.

As this palace maid cried, other palace maids around her couldn't help crying too.

For a while, the imperial city was full of palace maids and eunuchs sobbing quietly.

The imperial city was no longer quiet.

The sadness was even stronger.

The originally cloudless weather was now drizzling.

Raindrops fell.

It seemed as if the sky was crying too.
