Chapter 29

I’m going to cheat

At night, Ji Que sat in the room and made a summary.

Excluding the money he spent to buy the coffin for the old woman, he made a total of fourteen taels of silver this time, which can only be said to be a good loss.

After all, his little heart was greatly frightened.

In the room, Ji Que looked at the mottled jade ring and felt a rare sense of crisis.

It was this thing that turned the old woman's body into a being that was neither human nor ghost.

If he didn't know Tai Chi, he might not be able to solve this problem so easily.

There was a scarlet color inside the finger, as if it had been soaked in blood.

It was at that location that Ji Que saw three small ancient seal characters - "Foreign Object Society".

"Foreign Object Society? Is it an organization?" Ji Que looked at the ring finger that exuded an ominous aura and asked doubtfully.

If it was an organization, why would they give an ordinary old woman such a thumb?

Or maybe they had already foreseen that the old woman would die unknown?

Unfortunately, the old woman had been burned to ashes, and there was no way he could ask her.

In the past, there was the Fenglian Sect preaching, and later there was a weird old woman related to the Foreign Object Society begging for money. This was the source of Ji Que's sense of crisis.

He just stayed in this small Sangshui County, a place even worse than Xinshou Village, but he still encountered such strange things one after another.

This kind of thing has gone beyond the scope of ordinary unfortunate events.

From Ji Que's own understanding, when he was unlucky, it was as if he had a magnetic field that could attract all the bad people and bad things around him to him.

It's just that bad people and evil things are not created out of thin air. If he can encounter them, it can only be said that they already exist.

The examples of the Wind Lotus Sect and the old woman just told him that the world was far deeper and more terrifying than he imagined.

Underneath the seemingly peaceful life, there are surging undercurrents brought about by various mysterious forces.

[Name: Ji Que

Age:17

Realm: Upper level of the Second Realm of Condensing Qi

Strength: Fair (self-assessment)

Skills: amphibious swimming (proficient), running (proficient), barbecue (proficient), Jiyi·Tai Chi (dacheng).

Comprehension accumulation value: early stage of third stage]

Ji Que opened the panel and looked at the red comprehension charging bar, feeling a little surprised for a moment.

Why is the accumulation speed faster than last time?

The last time we reached this level, it took at least half a year, but now it's only about four months.

Ji Que always thought that this understanding was only related to accumulation of time and that it grew at a constant speed. Now it seems that it is also related to the degree of unlucky?

The more unlucky you are, the faster you accumulate insights?

Well, this statement seems to be more scientific.

In the period that followed, Ji Que often observed the progress of his comprehension bar and gradually confirmed this statement.

On a day when he has been unlucky a lot and the degree of unluckiness is high, the creeping distance of the charging bar is a little longer.

The most outrageous time was when he was walking on the outskirts of the city and unexpectedly encountered a bandit robbing him.

As a result, at this time, another group of bandits came out.

It turned out that the two groups of bandits were targeting him, but Ji Que did not take action, and the two groups of bandits started fighting first.

In the end, the two gangs of bandits killed each other, causing heavy casualties. Ji Que picked up a lot of money without taking any action.

As a result, the charging bar of Comprehension was not touched that day.

This is probably the rumored fate of two similar unlucky events colliding together. It can be said that there is no bad luck, or even good luck.

What's even more outrageous is that since this incident, Ji Que, who had accumulated his understanding for almost half a year, has found peace.

Yes, peace.

Logically speaking, this should be the time for him to risk his life to make money, and the risk is not small.

But for a long time, he didn't even encounter a thief who wanted to steal him, or a bandit who wanted to rob him. Even if he deliberately went into the forest, he never encountered a tiger or other wild beast, but accidentally stepped on it.

Just a few nests of venomous snakes lingering.

This made him quite uncomfortable and felt outrageous!

Off the mark!

He once again thought of what he said before, bad people and evil things are not created out of thin air and are endless.

He can meet them because he has a huge attraction for them.

But now, in the past six months, after he had countered hundreds of thieves and bandits, kicked three jackals to death, and trampled to death more than a hundred venomous snakes, there was no bad thing in this area that could harm him.

Have all the bad things been wiped out?

This was originally a great thing. The entire Sangshui County was at peace for a while. No one stole or robbed. The people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Even the dog poop on the road became less and less due to Ji Que's trampling.

But for Ji Que, there was a feeling of emptiness.

What's even more frightening is that in this stage, which is supposed to be the most profitable for him, he actually doesn't make any money, and even the charging bar doesn't move much.

In other words, he has basically squeezed all the bad luck out of Sangshui County.

However, as the weather gets colder, Ji Que faces a new challenge - taking the scholar exam.

When he used to watch TV dramas, he often saw poor scholars. He thought it was easy to become a scholar, as long as he put some effort into studying and had good skills.

As a result, after traveling through time, he realized that this matter was very difficult to pass, and there were too many people who took the exam for ten years and might not pass it in twenty years.

In the school, the old gentleman was spitting above him - ""Yi Xue", I dare say, this year's "Yi Xue" is the key again. As long as you can read this "Yi Xue" thoroughly, you will be inseparable this time.".

Although the content of this world examination is also inseparable from Confucian classics, it is somewhat different from the historical knowledge he learned in his previous life.

There have been changes in the "Four Books and Five Classics" here. For example, on the basis of "The Analects of Confucius" and "The Great Learning", some new classics have been added, and "Yixue" is one of them.

According to the old man, this year's "Yi Xue" is even more important than "The Analects of Confucius" and "University" in terms of county and government examinations.

To be honest, Ji Que was a little anxious about taking the scholar examination, more anxious than the college entrance examination in his previous life.

Logically speaking, since he can swim faster than he can run and is good at Tai Chi, he shouldn't be so concerned about his status as a scholar.

But he was very interested in it.

Because after all, his most basic identity is that of a scholar.

The scholar has been studying for so many years and has been scolded by his teacher so many times. In the end, he cannot even pass the exam as a "scholar", which is a shame.

People, when you talk, you have to save face.

Just like a certain art student who became very angry after failing the exam and caused very terrible consequences to the world.

Ji Que felt that since he was admitted as a scholar, he should at least be more dignified when he broke off the engagement.

A scholar breaks off the engagement because he wants to prepare for the exam with peace of mind and does not want to delay the girl, and a scholar who has been unable to pass the exam for many years and wants to break off the engagement because he is ashamed of himself are completely different concepts.

He prefers both emotion and reason.

Although the Ji family is not big, they still need to have face.

So facing the old gentleman's tempting words, Ji Que decided to play some tricks.

If you use this bright red tube of understanding in a book called "Yi Xue", are you afraid that you won't be able to understand it thoroughly?
