The county school is located just west of Yishui County.

It is adjacent to the West City Gate and faces Xuanwu Hill; the white walls and gray tiles are solemn and pure.

On the lintel of this school, there is a plaque with four golden and powerful words "Maintaining the Family and Governing the Country".

If the book records correctly, these words were written by the Grand Qi National Master during the post-disaster reconstruction of Yishui County seven years ago - it can be regarded as the most valuable thing in this institution.

Gu Xu met the teacher Zhou Siqi outside the county school gate - a middle-aged man with a slightly fat body and a trance-restless look.

The instructor is a county school instructor with a nine-rank official rank. Each county has one person in charge of the Confucian Temple and teaches all students. No one is allowed to serve as a juren.

It can be understood as the principal of the county school.

Gu Xu is an official, Zhou Siqi is an official. According to the rules of the Great Qi Dynasty, under normal circumstances, clerks need to kneel down to salute when they see officials.

But this set of rules only applies to mortals.

The practitioners of Daqi have a transcendent status and can stand and speak even when they see the emperor; and ordinary officials must be polite in front of the practitioners.

"Master Zhou, I am Gu Xu from the Exorcist Department, responsible for solving this case," Gu Xu walked forward and nodded slightly, "You should have an impression of me."

"Of course," said Zhou Zhiyu's round face with a complimentary smile, "I have seen the name of Gu Shaoxia on the Exorcist Merit List more than once. Today I finally had the honor to meet. It was indeed a heroic and extraordinary young hero."

While talking, Zhou Teacher's legs were still trembling involuntarily.

The fear in his heart was obviously not yet dissipated.

He knew that Gu Xu in front of him was his only life-saving straw.

Although this young man looked weak, he represented the Great Qi Exorcist.

If you want to drive away ghosts from the county school and avoid yourself and the students becoming prey of ghosts, you must rely on this young man.

"Take me to a haunted place to see!" Gu Xu said in a plain tone, "I want to see what kind of ghost is, and dare to make trouble in our great officials."

Teaching Yu was a little hesitant.

He stood in front of the threshold, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally gritted his teeth and walked in.

Gu Xu followed him with expressionless expression.

However, as soon as I entered the door, a black shadow whistled and quickly passed by the two of them like lightning.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh--" Teacher Zhou screamed in fear.

He staggered back a few steps and almost tripped by the threshold.

"Calm down, Lord Zhou," Gu Xu narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly, "That's just a cat."

"Yes...I'm fussing." Teacher Zhou forced a smile on his pale face.

At this moment, Teacher Zhou wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into it immediately.

A dignified official from Daqi screamed by a cat... If he said this, he would become a laughing stock in everyone's eyes.

…………

Pass through the hanging flower door and walk along the veranda.

There was silence in the school.

Only the slight sound of the wind and the breathing of the two of them could be heard.

In this deadly atmosphere, Master Zhou felt more and more panicked, and his silk shirt was already soaked in cold sweat.

He even wanted to turn around and run away immediately, away from this gloomy place.

However, thinking of his responsibilities as a teacher and the safety of the students' lives, he still bit the bullet and continued to lead Gu Xu, hoping to provide some help within his ability.

At this moment, the sound of reading suddenly sounded from the empty county school, gradually becoming clear from far to near.

"Gu...Young Master Gu, that's the voice!" Zhou Zhiyu pointed his hand forward and said with a bumpy and bumpy face, his teeth constantly fighting in his mouth.

But Gu Xu's face remained unchanged.

He stood there, listened carefully for a few seconds, and then commented: "Master Zhou, listen carefully. These ghosts are reciting the "Four Books Collection"... Well, I have memorized two wrong words."

Teacher Zhou glanced at him with the look of looking at the monster, and sighed silently in his heart: He is worthy of being a monk from the Exorcist Division. When encountering such a strange scene, the focus of attention is different from that of ordinary people.

…………

The source of the sound of reading is a lecture hall in the northwest corner.

Gu Xu pushed open the door and walked straight in.

The room was dark.

The pale moonlight shines through the carved window frames and enters the room obliquely, barely outlining the outlines of the tables and chairs.

"Let me go to the concierge to get a lantern..." Teacher Zhou suggested in a low voice.

"No need to worry." Gu Xu responded lightly.

As he said, he took out the booklet from his pocket, tore off a page of paper, and quickly drew several complicated runes on the paper with a charcoal pen.

If you don’t know the trick, it will make ghosts and gods laugh; if you know the trick, it will be shocked to make ghosts and gods scream.

Teacher Zhou stood aside and watched him draw talismans. In a trance, he heard a faint scream from the distant horizon. After careful study, but if he looked at it, he felt that the sound was like his own hallucination and could not be found at all.

In the blink of an eye, the talisman was formed.

Gu Xu put away the charcoal pen and folded the talisman paper in his hand twice. He saw that the talisman paper instantly turned into a red lantern, emitting a blood-red halo.

Teacher Zhou was stunned.

As an experienced official, he had seen other practitioners take action to eliminate ghosts and monsters before.

But this was the first time he witnessed such a strange and mysterious magic.

"Young Master Gu is indeed not an ordinary monk!" Zhou Zhiyu couldn't help but murmur, "This kind of method is really extraordinary!"

"Basic operation is not worth boasting." Gu Xu smiled slightly and said modestly.

…………

Under the light of the lanterns, several figures sitting in the corner of the lecture hall came into view.

They were men dressed by several scholars.

They were wearing silly shirts and scarves, with a haggard face and a haggard expression; they held the "Four Books Collection" in their hands, and read them shaking their heads and shaking their heads.

At first glance, I thought it was a scholar who had to eat and sleep for the imperial examination and stayed up late to study hard.

But after seeing the faces of these scholars clearly, Zhou Zhiyu was scared again and screamed "Ah--".

His legs also became weak and could barely stand firm only if he reached out to support the wall beside him.

"My dear master seems to be screaming very much this week!" Gu Xu glanced at him and silently labeled him in his heart.

At the same time, these scholars also heard the voice of Zhou Teaching Yu.

They put down the books in their hands, walked to Zhou Zhiyu one by one, and gave him a disciple's tribute.

"I've met Lord Zhou."

"Mr. Zhou has worked so hard. He is still concerned about our studies in the middle of the night."

"Mr. Zhou, the student is stupid and failed the exam this year. I really can't forgive your kindness for your teachings."

"Mr. Zhou, please believe me. I will definitely pass the imperial examination in three years and make you famous!"

“…”

Looking at the familiar faces, Teacher Zhou took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and spoke:

"Wei Ming, Jiang Wenyuan, He Xiaoliang, Chu Chunhua... Didn't you guys die eight years ago? I personally built a tomb and monument for you."

The scholars who were called to their names looked at each other, looking confused, not understanding what he was saying.
