Chapter 300: Deceiving People Too Much
Soon, the door of Lu Shuxian's room fell into chaos. The older disciple directed the others, preparing for Lu Shuxian's funeral. No one was willing to look at Luo Fan more.
Luo Fan lay on the cold stone slab and couldn't help coughing. A line of sad tears were already circling in Luo Fan's eyes and was about to drip.
But Luo Fan has been more determined than others since he was a child. He can't even remember when he cried last time. He just learned a little on the battlefield that men can bleed, but they cannot.
Especially in Luo Fan's current state, he could not help himself weak, because once he became fragile, it means that he regretted the decision he made before. Luo Fan could make a mistake, but he could not regret it.
Just as Luo Fan was struggling to get up, someone suddenly held Luo Fan's arm. Luo Fan turned his head and found that the person who came to him was a boy about six or seven years old. Although his eyebrows had not yet grown, he had an indescribable handsomeness.
This little boy is like Luo Fan twenty years ago.
The little boy wiped the blood from under his nose with his sleeves embroidered with light blue cloud patterns, and then stretched out his hand to slap the dust on his body for Luo Fan.
Finally, the little boy hugged Luo Fan gently and said in his ear: "Brother, why is Xinghejuan more important than a living life?"
When the boy said this, Luo Fan finally couldn't control his emotions. He hugged the little boy tightly and started crying.
Luo Fan used this method to vent his emotions for the first time in twenty years. Whether it was the troubles in his childhood, the sufferings and injuries suffered in the army later, or the crimes, punishments and cold eyes of Luo Fan, he had never cried once, and he had never shown his fragility and softness in front of anyone, but this time Luo Fan couldn't help it.
The little boy hugged Luo Fan silently. When Luo Fan cried almost, he carefully wiped Luo Fan's tears and said, "It's okay after crying. After learning a lesson, I can't give myself a chance to shed tears in the future."
Luo Fan widened his eyes and didn't believe that such words were said from such a young child. Luo Fan calmed down and said, "Who told you this?"
The little boy smiled and said, "My mother told me when I cried last time."
Luo Fan felt warm and said, "Your mother is really a good mother. What is her name? I might know her." Luo Fan subconsciously thought that the little boy's mother was one of his senior sisters. Luo Fan had been in the Star Courtyard for more than 20 years, so naturally there was no old man he didn't know.
The little boy shook his head and said, "My mother is already dead."
Luo Fan was stunned and said, "Then the last time you cried?"
The little boy replied, "It was the time when my mother died."
Maybe it was Luo Fan that tasted his tears for the first time. He felt a little bitter in his mouth. Luo Fan touched the little boy's head and said, "Then do you have other family members?"
The boy still shook his head, but after a moment, he nodded again and said, "Now, there are all my family in the Star Courtyard."
Luo Fan thought that he had thought this way, but now he was full of cold eyes and ridicule. He felt sad again and asked, "What's your name?"
The child said, "My surname is Gu, and my name is Qi."
"Gu Qi?" Luo Fan murmured and suddenly asked Gu Qi, "Do you want to learn a lot of powerful tricks and become a strong man in the future?"
Gu Qi looked at Luo Fan, a hint of desire flashed in his eyes, and asked, "Is he a strong man like you?"
Luo Fan shook his head slightly and said, "No, it's better than me."
Gu Qi nodded to show that he was willing.
Luo Fan asked him again, "Then are you willing to practice with me?"
But Gu Qi did not answer Luo Fan's question immediately, but instead asked: "Brother, are you going to leave the Star Courtyard?"
Luo Fan looked back at the houses and crowds in Xingyuan. Before he knew it, the sky had darkened. In the houses arranged in the mountains and forests, there were already lights of lights.
Only the night in the Star Courtyard is the most peaceful and beautiful scene in the world.
Luo Fan sighed and said, "Yes, this Star Court can no longer tolerate me."
Gu Qi said softly: "I can't leave you."
Luo Fan looked at Gu Qi. The little boy was as clear as he was back then, with no confusion and clearly knowing what he wanted.
Gu Qi said firmly: "I want to stay in the Star Courtyard, and then become as strong as you, and drive away all the bad people who come to the Star Courtyard."
Luo Fan was about to say something, but Gu Qi added: "Although I think Ye Taoling should not be killed, it is undeniable that she is also a bad person."
Luo Fan lowered his voice, as if he was talking to himself: "Where are there any absolute good and evil, right and wrong, and how to deal with things, it is just a difference between people's thoughts."
When Luo Fan saw Ye Taoling for the first time, he was desperate to give everything he had for Ye Taoling. In the end, it was just a matter of thought. If Luo Fan had not lit up the sixty-four star lamps back then, there would be no Ye Taoling in the world today.
A few years ago, Ye Taoling was just a ignorant girl. Even if she did something wrong, she shouldn’t have completely lost the opportunity to start over. Who did not do anything wrong when she was young?
Luo Fan patted Gu Qi on the shoulder, feeling a little disappointed, but he also felt that there was a Gu Qi in the Star Court, which was at least not considered a withering talent.
Before Luo Fan left the Star Courtyard, he instructed Gu Qi: "I will hand over my Star Courtyard to you in the future."
After nightfall, a mourning hall was set up in the Star Courtyard. Lu Shuxian had no descendants, and the disciples of the Star Courtyard were wearing mourning clothes.
Luo Fan left the mountain and Gu Qi entered the mourning hall. He respectfully cast a stick of incense on Lu Shuxian and kowtowed three times.
While everyone was sad, Gu Qi still maintained a maturity that was not matched by his age. He did not think that the sky had completely collapsed like others. Gu Qi just looked at the body of Lu Shuxian in the coffin silently, remembering today's day, just like the scene where his mother passed away.
Only by working hard to become stronger can you protect what you want to protect.
At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly blew outside the mourning hall. It was midsummer. No matter what, the wind that came in should have a bit of warmth of the summer night. But for some reason, everyone suddenly felt a bit of biting chill when they were blown by the gust of wind.
The candlelight in the mourning hall was also swayed under the gust of wind, and the flames were pressed to the lowest point. The bizarre shadows in the mourning hall flashed constantly, making Lu Shuxian's cheeks pale.
"Is it because the dean died with his eyes open and he was unwilling to leave?" A disciple immediately shouted in panic.
It was fine if he didn't say anything. After this, the candle in the mourning hall immediately disappeared, and when the candle was extinguished, the gust of wind had already stopped.
At this time, it was the turn of the disciples of the Star Academy to turn pale.
At the same time, a woman's cry suddenly came from outside the mourning hall. The sound was full of ghostly spirit and illusory. As soon as you heard it, you knew it was not the cry of a female disciple in the courtyard.
"Will there be some monster coming to our place to make trouble as soon as the dean passed away?"
For a moment, the disciples in the mourning hall became panicked. The next moment, the faint crying sound suddenly turned into heart-wrenching crying, and half of the candlelight remaining in the mourning hall was extinguished.
Fortunately, it was a clear summer night, with the clear moonlight shining in the mourning hall. Even without candlelight, it would not be dark and I could not see clearly.
But the next moment, a dark cloud suddenly floated in the air, swallowing the bright moonlight, and the shrill crying stopped immediately. The temperature in the mourning hall suddenly lowered. The disciples felt that the hairs on the back of their necks were blowing up, as if someone was blowing air conditioning at them behind them.
The atmosphere in the mourning hall was extremely stagnant, and no one spoke, but everyone could really hear their heartbeat. It was obvious that many people were standing together, but in this sudden darkness, everyone felt that they were alone, and there seemed to be some ghost hidden in the depths of the darkness, and they would jump out at any time to tear themselves into pieces.
The more nervous a person is, the less he dares to act rashly, but lacks the courage to break the peace. Even in the quietest night, there is no such quietness in the Star Courtyard.
In the midst of silence and chaos, a sudden crack in the mourning hall lit up with a bright yellow fire, warm and safe.
It was Gu Qi who played the fire note he carried with him. He walked to the altar of the mourning hall and lit the extinguished candles one by one.
At this time, the moon covered by dark clouds also poked its head out, and the howling sounds outside the mourning hall seemed to have never sounded. The cicada noises and frogs that were gone were heard again, and the gentle night wind blew in again, with a kind of intoxicating warmth.
Everything seemed so normal, which was in a strong contrast with the terrifying fear just now, but the disciples of the Star Court in the mourning hall looked even more ugly.
Because after the candlelight was lit up again, they found that the sacrifices and incense burners on the mourning hall table were no longer known whereabouts. Instead, a white elegy couplet was spread flat on the altar table.
There are a few bright red characters written on the elegiac couplet. The handwriting has not been dry yet, as if bleeding can be oozed at any time.
"Take hands over what does not belong to the Star Court, otherwise I will be disturbed by Fengxia Mountain!"
Only Qiancang is the only thing that does not belong to the Star Academy. Everyone knows that who sent this sentence to the news.
After everyone was afraid, a huge anger suddenly arose in their hearts. Lu Shuxian died because of Bai Shu and Ye Taoling. Now that his body was not cold, Bai Shu found a monster to come to the Star Courtyard to make trouble.
"I'm too bullying. Do you really think there is no one in my Star Court?"
