Chapter 296: 4
A hundred-year-old tree stood in the courtyard of the Yellow Hall of Lin 'an Academy.
When the senior brothers who were promoted to the Black Hall received the new junior brothers, they would always tell them tirelessly, "This tree is of the same age as Lin 'an.
"This tree is of the same age as our Lin 'an Academy. It was planted by the first mountain elder and is the treasure of the Academy. In the past, the chirping of cicadas on this tree was the most lively in summer. However, since Teacher Li came to the academy, no one has heard the chirping of cicadas on the tree. "
The junior brothers listened and were amazed. They asked who Teacher Li was and what he had to do with it.
At this time, the senior brothers would enthusiastically tell the junior brothers that Teacher Li liked quietness. Ten years ago, when he came to the academy, he looked up at the tree and said, "Don't be noisy." Since then, the tree had been quiet for ten years.
How could there be such a strange thing?!
When the junior brothers were amazed, the senior brother would wave his hand and say with an unfathomable face, "This is nothing. You will know in the future."
The legend of Teacher Li was immortal in Lin 'an Academy. It wouldn't be long before the Junior Brothers would hear a lot about Teacher Li's deeds from him.
For example, at this time, there were many people around the treasure tree. They were all talking about the same person.
"There really is no chirping of cicadas. Teacher Li is amazing!"
"It's just to stop the chirping of cicadas. Haven't you heard of Teacher Li's power?"
"I heard from my senior brother that if you say one bad word about Teacher Li, no matter who it is, they will have diarrhea the next day. Is it true?"
"You heard it too. It's definitely true! My brother is studying here. He said so. If you are not afraid, you can try it yourself. My brother also specially told me not to look at Teacher Li's eyes more than three times in his class. Otherwise, your eyebrows will disappear the next day. "
"I also heard that a senior brother insulted Teacher Li in the woods before. As a result, the words' I am a pig 'appeared on his face the next day. It wasn't scratched or written. The words seemed to have grown into the flesh. It took three whole months for them to disappear. "
"Teacher Li …"
His legend had been passed down from generation to generation. "Teacher Li" was the best topic for new students to make friends with.
Gou Liang lay on the tree trunk and curled his lips as he listened. He couldn't help but kick the little puppy lying at his feet. His Teacher Li was here to take the blame for this puppy.
The tip of his foot passed through the puppy's body as expected, but it was so alert that it was stunned. It looked around before crawling back and lazily wagging its tail.
Ten years ago, when he first arrived here, the little puppy said goodbye to his personal chef, whom he had trained for decades, and was very sad for a while.
For some reason, the Taoist priest who had become the Headmaster refused to feed him. No matter how much he whined, it was useless. In the end, the Headmaster was so anxious that he cried. Only then did the Headmaster cast a spell on the tree. The tree breathed in and out the essence of the sun and the moon as it ate.
The so-called disappearance of the cicadas' cries was, of course, the work of the dog protecting its food.
The puppy had regular food, but it was not happy.
Because the Headmaster's palm was no longer willing to be its nest.
Gou Liang was the only one who knew the truth. He would never tell him that his nostalgia for the Danyang Deity was the original sin.
That's right, Teacher Li was so stingy.
But today, the Headmaster finally relented. He promised that as long as it waited on the tree obediently and waited for him to bring it home and did not run around, the palm and chest would still be its. Ang ~
Thinking of this, the little puppy wagged its tail so hard that it became a silhouette.
At this time, the students under the tree had already changed from Teacher Li to Teacher Li's beloved dog.
In the past, there was no such topic. Many people who had studied in the Academy for four years did not necessarily know that the magical Teacher Li had a magical dog.
As the only one who broke the news, the student who spoke naturally attracted the attention of everyone.
He raised his head and said leisurely, "My elders have worked in the Academy for more than 20 years. There is nothing in the Academy that he does not know."
Gou Liang glanced at him. Oh, so it was Old Ding's grandson.
Old Ding was the Academy's servant who took care of the flowers and plants. He indeed knew many secrets.
"Teacher Li's beloved dog is not an ordinary dog …" The blue-clothed student lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "It is the Mountain Deity of Lin Mountain. If you win its favor, not to mention mountains of gold and silver, you can even be the top scholar."
When the students heard this, they looked at each other. Finally, they gave him a look of distrust.
The blue-clothed student was anxious, "Do you think I am speaking without thinking? This is true. That Dog Deity has the ability to turn stone into gold. As long as it wants to do something, there is nothing it cannot do! "
"Brother, don't be anxious. We did not say that we do not believe you."
The students said this, but the look in their eyes was completely different.
The blue-clothed student felt that he had been insulted, "It is up to you to believe it or not. Don't blame me for not reminding you. If you are lucky enough to meet that Dog Deity, do not make it angry. Otherwise … hmph."
After saying this, he swung his sleeves and strode away.
The students laughed at this, but did not know that this was the truth.
The protagonist of the story of turning stone into gold was the blue-clothed student's grandfather, Old Ding.
Old Ding firmly believed in ghosts and gods. This illiterate old man loved to pretend to be knowledgeable and was very practical. One day, he heard the story of turning stone into gold from a teacher in the academy. He happily buried a stone under the treasure tree and knelt down to make a sincere wish.
The little puppy found it interesting and exchanged a piece of silver for his stone. Old Ding was so surprised that he bowed three times and kowtowed nine times.
This Old Ding loved to take advantage of others. He planted the silver back and wished for a piece of gold.
The little puppy was not tired of playing this game, so he helped him again.
Old Ding bowed and thanked him. He planted all the silver at home and the new gold, hoping to exchange it for a big harvest. He did not expect that the next day, he would be left with a pile of broken stones.
Old Ding regretted his insatiable greed. No matter how he cried and begged, he could not get the forgiveness of the Mountain Deity.
In his sadness, he found another gardener in the academy to drink and said this. The gardener clasped his hands and said, "Old Ding, you don't know that the puppy beside Teacher Li is the Mountain Deity of Lin 'an?"
Old Ding heard this and sobered up a lot. He quickly asked him.
The Dog Deity. This was something that the elders of Lin 'an Academy understood.
They all knew that the legend of Teacher Li had nothing to do with him. It was because the Dog Deity loved him and protected him. Therefore, if someone said something bad about Teacher Li, they would be punished.
Old Ding received the advice and reluctantly killed the chicken at home. He also bought a few unique snacks and set up a platform under the treasure tree to repent sincerely.
The movement was a bit loud. That night, Teacher Li also heard about it. The next day, Old Ding found the silver in the hole that he dug.
It was not known if it was because he still could not forget the gold. In short, during the holidays, Old Ding would come to the tree and set up a roasted chicken. He would not miss a single one.
The students under the tree talked about Teacher Li again. They did not take the words of the student in green to heart. Only one person heard it and remembered it in his heart.
Therefore, that night.
A fat student placed two roasted chickens at the usual place where Old Ding placed his offerings. He knelt on the ground and clasped his hands together. He muttered, "Lord Dog Deity, please accept this student's worship."
Gou Liang was speechless.
These second generation deities were destined to not be able to escape the curse of the little puppy.
"I heard that you like to eat roasted chicken. I specially bought it from the Fragrant Food House at the foot of the mountain for you to try. If you don't like it, I'll change it for you next time …"
The fat student talked endlessly. He finished his opening speech and was about to enter the whole conversation when he heard a sound of footsteps approaching.
He was shocked. He quickly blew out the candle and got up to run. When he remembered, he hurriedly knelt in the direction of the treasure tree and bowed three times to apologize. He then went around to hide behind the tree.
He did not know if it was because he was fat or because he was scared. His breathing was heavier than the footsteps. He thought that he was hiding well.
Gou Liang expressed that he was worried about his IQ.
The person who walked slowly with a lantern was the legendary figure of the Academy, Teacher Li.
He did not expose the fat student's clumsy hiding. He raised his hand and said to the tree, "Let's go home."
"Woof!"
A white puppy jumped out of the dense canopy and happily jumped into the arms of the Headmaster, wagging its tail happily. Its fur shone brightly in the dark. It only took one look to let people know that it was not an ordinary creature.
The fat student's breathing became heavier. He was so excited that he clenched his hands. He stared at the back of the man and the dog with shining eyes. He made up his mind.
— — He wanted to please the Dog Deity at all costs.
In this way, the little fat student stepped on the Path to Heaven set by the Immortal without hesitation.
Gou Liang looked back, and then looked at the carefree little puppy rolling around in the Headmaster's palm and the Headmaster who hid his achievements and fame. He silently lit a candle for the little fatty.
The little fat student was no doubt the second generation of the Immortal who was going through the ordeal.
He was the son of the God of Wealth Hall. Even if he was reincarnated a hundred times, his God of Wealth's genes would not change.
Without the intervention of the Immortal, the little fat student was really going through the ordeal of a lifetime.
The ordeal of the Immortal was about first rising and then suppressing, first sweet and then bitter.
The little fat student was born rich. When he was young, his family declined and he became a beggar. In the end, he was trampled to death for a piece of silver. His father was heartbroken when he saw this.
After asking around, he learned that the Immortal Li Qing's beloved dog liked sparkling treasures. He specially prepared a mountain of gems for the little fat student to play with. That was how he got this opportunity.
In this life, the little fatty was also born rich, but because of his poor performance in his previous life, not long after he was born this time, his family began to decline. Especially when his father was killed by water bandits when he was born, his family hated him for bringing bad luck to his father, and blamed him for the family's declining fortunes on him.
After a few years, in order to save the family, his uncle had to tighten his belt a few times. However, this jinx grew fatter and fatter, making him an eyesore.
Later, he found a Daoist priest to tell his fortune. The priest said that the little fat student had sucked all the luck of the family onto himself. That was why he was so mean to his relatives. The widow and her son were kicked out by his uncle.
Of course, the little fat student knew that his uncle wanted to covet his father's inheritance. He hated that he was too weak and could not protect his family's inheritance.
The rough fate intensified his obsession with wealth. He swore to take back his father's inheritance, to become the richest man in the world. He swore … to eat a roast chicken for every meal.
Oh, thinking about it, he and the Immortal Hound got along so well. They were both roast chicken fans.
The little fat student rubbed his empty stomach and swallowed his saliva at the fragrant roast chicken. He walked away, looking back three times with each step.
The next day, he returned to the treasure tree to look around. When he confirmed that the Immortal Hound had accepted his tribute, he smiled so widely that his eyes disappeared.
Very good, he was one step closer to becoming the richest man.
In the sea of consciousness, Gou Liang looked away from the little fat student's trembling face.
The little fat student's happy smile did not affect Gou Liang. He turned back to the big blind spot with no light in his eyes.
"Master, aren't you going to the teacher's class today?"
The System asked in surprise.
Gou Liang lazily glanced at him. He leaned back in the sea of consciousness and did not speak.
The System ran over with its short legs and squatted beside him. "Master, what's wrong? Tell me what you're unhappy about … Uh, are you really unhappy? "
The System stopped smiling and asked carefully.
Gou Liang was quiet for a while, then said faintly: "Today, the teacher gave that dog a morning kiss."
"… Ah."
This matter is over.
The System silently moved its short legs, trying to get away from its master who had an explosive negative soul power. Unfortunately, it was one step too late.
Gou Liang suddenly sat up, pinched its chubby face, and said fiercely: "He kissed that dog, that dog! How much longer do I have to live with this sullen dog life!! "
The berserk Gou Liang could not take it anymore.
Don't tell him that the dog was his past self. With that dog's evil nature, it would not care to be one with him!
What's worse was that he was the one who was isolated by the world.
If the plot continued to develop, would he have to watch his husband and that damn dog make love in bed?
He could not even take a kiss on the forehead, he would rather die!
The System weakly reminded him: "… Master, you are a wolf, not a dog."
"Scram!" Gou Liang was angry, "I can't take it anymore. What do you say?"
"How about, we change positions and bear with it a little longer?"
The System sincerely suggested.
Gou Liang: "… Damn it, I must be crazy to discuss this with you. Go and find the main system for me."
The System trembled as it called the main system.
Not long later, the System's eyes flashed with random codes. The main system, which had successfully possessed him, did not wait for Gou Liang to flip out. It went straight to the point: "I do not have the authority to do anything in this world. Sorry."
"What do you mean?"
Gou Liang looked suspiciously at the main system.
The main system sighed. "It means that when I enter this world, I will be the same as you. I will be something outside of this world's laws. I can't do anything."
Gou Liang took a deep breath. He had already tried, and System items were similarly ineffective here.
"You mean that I have to wait a few thousand years until that stupid dog dies on the battlefield before I can fuse with it?"
Please don't tell me that this is true.
The main system shook its head. Before Gou Liang could rejoice, it said: "I don't know. I already said that I do not have the authority to interfere with anything in this world, nor do I understand it."
Gou Liang clenched his teeth: "Then tell me, what about the consciousness fragment that came with me? When will he wake up?"
"I'm afraid …"
The main system looked hesitant.
Gou Liang narrowed his eyes. "Think carefully before you speak. If I find out that you are hiding something from me …"
Gou Liang's finger suddenly emitted a wisp of black gas. The main system's hair stood on end — it was the power of darkness!
"I, I, I'll speak!"
The main system was about to piss its pants. This threat could really kill the system!
"Hmph, you speak. I'm listening."
Gou Liang played with the dark gas at his fingertips, and a smile returned to his face.
However, the main system did not appreciate his deliberate "friendliness". Its scalp tingled as it said: "I only know that the position of the consciousness awakening in Li Qing Daren's body is different from the previous world. Kissing, hugging, and rolling in the sheets are of no use."
Gou Liang: "… Are you speaking human language?"
The main system: "…"
What's with your desperate expression? Please don't be coquettish!
Gou Liang: "So, what did I come here for? To watch my husband and that stupid dog's daily life? Hehe. "
The last laugh fully reflected Gou Liang's irritation.
The main system shrank its neck and ran away, leaving the dizzy system Xiao Si alone to face Gou Liang's burning little universe.
"Mas, Master?"
The system forced a stiff smile.
Gou Liang pursed his lips, and suddenly a smile returned to his face. He put the system down and gently tidied up its little suit.
System: Master is so scary!! (/o/)/
Fortunately, Gou Liang did not intend to torment it. He stood up and stepped out of the mindscape like he was rushing to the battlefield. Then, like a wolf, he rushed towards the teacher who was giving a lecture.
It was useless to think too much. He had to take action!
Wasn't it just a kiss on the dog's face? I want ten times more kisses! So what if I kissed air? It was not a loss if I could anger that stupid dog to death ~
Don't ask him how he knew that the dog could sense his presence. He would not admit that the stupid dog was him. Hmph!
The little puppy, who was lying on the tree trunk and taking a nap, suddenly stood up the moment Gou Liang hugged the teacher.
"Woof!"
The Headmaster heard its angry roar and turned his head to look. The furry cub had already crashed into his arms.
The little puppy eagerly hooked onto his clothes and climbed up. It squatted on the teacher's shoulder and sniffed eagerly. It was so anxious that it let out a low and childish roar.
The teacher saw that it was as if he was facing a great enemy and used his spiritual sense to scan the surrounding area. He did not see anything strange, so he picked it up from his shoulder.
"I'm giving a lecture. Don't mess around."
Although he said this, his tone was not strict.
Gou Liang had already moved from the front to the back of the teacher. He hugged the teacher's waist, lay on the teacher's shoulder, and licked the teacher's neck.
"Woof!!"
The little puppy suddenly exploded.
The pair of eyes that had been sealed by the Immortal suddenly opened. His eyes suddenly became ice blue. He saw Gou Liang rubbing against the teacher's face and smiling at him.
"Awoo!"
The little puppy let out the first howl in his life. He raised his sharp claws and quickly pounced on Gou Liang!
There was a smacking sound.
The teacher turned back and saw the puppy pasted on the wall slide to the ground, leaving six unwilling paw prints on the wall.
From the top of the wall to the corner.
"…"
The teacher coughed softly and turned his face away. He did not laugh out loud.
And Gou Liang.
— Hahahaha, come and bite me if you can. Hahaha, let's hurt each other!
