The flying boat traveled very quickly, and not long after, everyone arrived at Northwest Academy.
Lin Tian asked Luo Dongxi, Mei Pingwei and Yue Jinghong to wait in Feizhou.
After all, the three of them, Zhifan, were a bit behind.
Later, Lin Tian, Li Chengdao, Ao Qingxue and Yue Jingxian walked into the academy.
Northwest Academy is a relatively small group of buildings. Due to the uneven terrain, most of the buildings are attached to hills, low in front and high in back. There are also flat lakes dotted in the depressions, making the whole place somewhat closed.
In addition, the entire academy is surrounded by towering ancient trees and green plants. It is almost dusk at this time, and the afterglow of the setting sun cannot squeeze through the leaves, leaving only tiny spots of light and continuous shadows on the ground.
Lin Tian and others entered through the shadows on the ground, and soon found out where Mo Miwen lived, the Zhizhitang in the east corner of the Northwest Academy.
At this time, Inexplicable Wen, who has no teaching assignment yet, is grading homework in Zizhitang.
"Alas." Mo Mingwen looked at the children's homework and sighed heavily.
These idioms understood by children are all kinds of strange.
"Speak with care and sincerity: If someone says something harsh, you will hold your grudge for a long time!"
“I have no worries about food and clothing: I have food and clothing provided by others, so I don’t have anything to worry about!”
"Perseverance: As long as you can hold back something hard, it's hard to pull it out!"
Inexplicable Wen suppressed the urge to tear up the homework and corrected it carefully.
Suddenly, he saw a group of people entering his hall of knowledge.
"Who are you?" Mo Mingwen put down the pen he was using to approve his homework, stood up and asked.
Lin Tian took out the Taoist sect's token, "The five great immortal sect disciples."
Inexplicable Wen hurriedly greeted us, his face full of joy, "Immortal, you are finally here."
Lin Tian took back the token and said straight to the point: "Please, Mr. Mo, please tell us what you know."
Inexplicable Wen nodded, invited Lin Tian and others to sit down, and recalled carefully: "The cause of the incident was feedback from students living in the upper floors of the dormitory area that they often heard ghosts and ghosts screaming at night, which was very creepy."
"Then I went to the dormitory building at night to investigate, but every time I went there, I never heard any ghostly noises."
"While I was away, the students reported that there were ghostly sounds."
"If one person is like this, it can be said to be lying or hallucinating, but the entire high-level students are like this..."
"I informed the dean of the incident, but he kept it secret. In the end, I had no choice but to report it to the dean through the local government and the funeral pedestal."
"I would like to ask all the immortals to help capture this monster."
Lin Tian continued to ask: "Is there anything abnormal in this academy before?"
"There's nothing unusual about it. It's just that a murder happened here once. I feel like an innocent soul came back to claim his life." Inexplicable Man recalled.
"Oh? Sir, you might as well explain it in detail."
Inexplicable Wen walked to the door of Zhizhitang, looked outside, then closed the wooden door, returned to the desk and whispered: "Actually, the murder case is related to the yard and his son."
"At that time, there was a female student in Northwest College named Qi Chuchu. She was so beautiful that many students admired her. There were so many people chasing her that they could circle around the college several times."
"The dean's son, Ran Ling, is one of her suitors."
"Although Ran Ling is the son of the dean, he has good character and handsome appearance, so Qi Chuchu also has a crush on him. The two eventually got married."
"However, the misfortune also started from this. After the two of them got together, rumors gradually spread in the academy that Qi Chuchu was unruly and unruly, saying that she had an affair with many dignitaries outside the academy."
"The dean is a person who loves reputation very much. He ordered Ran Ling to divorce Qi Chuchu despite his begging."
"In the end, Qi Chuchu, who was divorced, couldn't think about it anymore and committed suicide by throwing herself into a lake."
"I suspect that the ghost noises during this period are her ghost telling those who spread rumors that she is back to take revenge..."
After listening to Inexplicable Wen's narration, Lin Tian secretly sighed, rumors hurt people.
Just like in my previous life, I spread rumors with my lips and broke my legs trying to refute them.
As a woman, Ao Qingxue felt even more dissatisfied about this, "These people who spread rumors really deserve death. They ruined a life in vain."
"And that bullshit dean, who believed in rumors and exacerbated the tragedy for the sake of so-called face."
"I really want to take a sword and kill these rumormongers one by one."
Lin Tian advised: "Senior Sister Qingxue, we are a well-known and righteous family, these words are disrespectful to human life..."
Ao Qingxue frowned slightly and looked at Lin Tian, "So..."
"So when you say these things, you have to say them behind your back and not tell others. If you want to do it, you have to do it behind your back and not be discovered." Lin Tian glanced at the inexplicable text and said matter-of-factly.
Yue Jingxian and Ao Qingxue: "..."
Inexplicable text: "???" I won't be silenced, right? Are they really from the five great immortal sects?
Li Chengdao thought it made sense, and quietly gave it a thumbs up. He was worthy of being a cultivator of immortality like me.
"By the way, where is the dean's son, Ran Ling?" Lin Tian thought of another person involved in this matter.
Inexplicable Wen said with regret: "Since Qi Chuchu committed suicide, Ran Ling broke off the relationship with the dean and went crazy."
"Now, he stays by the lake where Qi Chuchu committed suicide all day long, muttering 'Chu Chu'."
Lin Tian nodded, "Then ignore him for now."
"Let's go to the student dormitory to investigate. It happens to be evening." Lin Tian suggested.
"Okay!" everyone agreed.
So, Mo Mingwen led everyone to the student dormitory, "This is the student dormitory building. It was also the students on the upper floors of this building who suggested that there were ghosts and ghosts screaming at night."
Lin Tian looked at the dozen-story high-rise building in front of him, "Who built this building? How can it be so high?"
They are just mortals, how could they build such a tall building.
Inexplicable Wen explained: "This building was built by the monks hired by the dean and was completed recently. Who would have thought that the students would hear ghosts screaming as soon as they moved in."
"Understood, then Mr. Mo please leave first, lest the ghosts don't come out again." Lin Tian said.
Since the ghost screams couldn't be heard every time Inexplicable Wen went to the upper floors of the dormitory, it was better to let him leave.
"Thank you, all immortals."
He resigned inexplicably, and then he saw a few children downstairs and scolded: "Why is it you again? You have finished your homework, why are you still here? Go back to your dormitory."
After Inexplicable Wen left, Li Chengdao asked carefully: "Brother Lin, who will investigate later? I might..."
Lin Tian smiled mysteriously, and before Li Chengdao finished speaking, he spoke directly to Yue Jingxian: "Senior Sister Yue, you are a Taoist in poetry and calligraphy, and your literary spirit protects your body, and you are not afraid of ghosts and monsters. Why don't you go?"
Yue Jingxian nodded, "Okay!"
Li Chengdao's eyes widened and he suppressed his words.
Hey Brother Lin, you did it on purpose, you wanted me to go, and you actually used this kind of trick?!
He bit the bullet and said: "Senior Sister Jingxian will be scared by herself, so why don't I accompany you so that Senior Sister can feel at ease."
Lin Tian immediately agreed: "Okay! Since Brother Li has this intention, then you can go too."
"Senior Sister Qingxue and I are downstairs to see if there is anything unusual."
Ao Qingxue thought this suggestion was a good one, "Then Jingxian and Junior Brother Li, please be more careful."
Yue Jingxian nodded, "Don't worry."
Li Chengdao stared at Lin Tian bitterly. You didn't want to go yourself, so you used this method to trick me. It's so wicked.
Finally, Li Chengdao took a deep breath and followed Yue Jingxian into the dormitory building.
On the stairs, Yue Jingxian was in front and Li Chengdao was behind.
But he always felt that there was someone behind him, so he turned around from time to time.
"Junior brother Li, what's wrong?" Yue Jingxian felt Li Chengdao's strange behavior and asked.
"No...it's nothing." Li Chengdao stammered.
"Senior Sister Jingxian, don't be afraid. If you encounter danger, you can leave first and I can ask Wen Sheng to come out and break up the rear."
Yue Jingxian looked at Li Chengdao's frightened look and couldn't help but smile.
"Hiss~" Li Chengdao looked at Yue Jingxian's charming smile and felt that the dark stairwell was much brighter.
Monsters and monsters are nothing, my senior sister’s smile made me feel full of strength.
Yue Jingxian said: "Junior Brother Li, let's go up quickly."
Li Chengdao nodded, getting closer and closer to Yue Jingxian...
Lin Tian and Ao Qingxue, who were waiting downstairs, looked around at the surroundings. Except for the children who had just been driven away by inexplicable words, there was no one else.
