Chapter 388 Another Life
Wu Song
When the loud sound sounded, the glass candle in front of Wu Song broke without warning. Although he had always hoped that such a thing could happen, this unplanned mutation still surprised him when the candle really broke.
Such a loud sound should have an earth-shaking vibration, but nothing else in the room has changed. Only the glass candle that was burning just now turned into powder that is no longer shiny.
Wu Song remembers clearly that the man in the bachelor's robe said: You can't touch the glass candle with your hands or anything else. When the candle fire goes out, Wu Song can walk out of the secret room. Wu Song didn't feel anything at the beginning. He thought it was the same as an ordinary candle. Although it was made of glass, it would burn slowly, but after staying in for a day, he found the problem.
This candle does not seem to burn itself. In one day, it seems to have become longer in Wu Song's eyes. Such a thing also happened during the day of the next day and the third day. Now it is the evening of the third day, and the candle is extinguished. Although it is not burned out, Wu Song has not touched it from beginning to end. It is not a violation.
Wu Song stood up and picked up the broken cake in front of him and took a bite. The food in Xuecheng made him feel irritable. Not only is there no wine here, but there is no other side dishes. What he has is only this broken cake that can never be chewed. If you eat this, your mouth will become very dry. In the first period, Wu Song needs to eat every bite of cake twice, because for the first time, more than half of the crumbs will fall out of his mouth. Here, food cannot be wasted. Even such a broken cake is not eaten casually. Wu Song complained. He understood that only by eating these things without waste can he continue to live.
It's not that Wu Song was frustrated. When he arrived in Xuecheng in the bumps and unconsciousness, he thought he could get a good diagnosis and treatment, but he didn't know that the people here had one or another rules. According to Wu Song's temper, he would smash everything here with his fists, but when he really wanted to mention When he raised his fist to do this, he found a sad reality: his martial arts had been abolished.
This is not that the pain made him forget all his martial arts moves. On the contrary, Wu Song thoroughly thought about the martial arts routines he would know several times during the period when he could not move. He believed that if he could still make moves now, he must be twice as brave as before. But yes, his hands and feet can never do that. Now Wu Song can't even run. No matter how urgent the situation is, all he can do is not to walk slowly. This is already his limit. As long as he goes up a little faster, the bones of his whole body will make a sound that is on the verge of collapse. Like the weakness of his legs, his fists are the same. Now, not to mention the white-eyed tiger, even if two pieces of tofu are piled up, Wu Song is not sure to smash them with one palm.
With ten sessions of down, there is no strength in his hands and feet. In the exquisite moves, for Wu Song now, he is a useless castle in the air.
Wu Song has been brave since childhood. He has been used to being regarded as a rough man. Even in recent years, he has begun to regard this name as a compliment. After all, Wuda has never been called like this. But now, he is no longer qualified to call this name. This pain is like pulling out all the teeth of the tiger, cutting off four claws and tails, and then putting it in front of animals that are usually preyed on by him. Maybe it can't starve for the time being, but compared with the past, shame, anger and unwillingness will kill every tiger that used to roar in the forest.
Wu Song thought of giving up his own life. Although it is not easy for him to raise his sword now, there are many ways to die. Even if he doesn't eat, he can die slowly. Whenever this idea arises, Wu Song will think of Li Liu, his best friend, who was strong and joined the army to serve the country, but died inexplicably. Wu Song understands that the "today" he is enduring now is the "tomorrow" that the dead Li Liu once looked forward to. What qualifications does Wu Song have to die? His life is not entirely for himself. He has to live for Li Liu. Not only this, but he must also live a good life.
Wu Song reflected that before, he relied too much on force, but in the end, the knife man died under the knife, which had to be said to be a retribution. After such repeated ideological entanglement for a long time, Wu Song slowly became calm. The people of Xuecheng gave him some necessary treatment, and his body began to recover. Now he is no different from a weak scholar. Although it is not as good as before, normal daily activities can be maintained.
As for entering this room, it is Wu Song's own choice to face the glass candle that does not seem to burn out. This near-impossible observation and waiting is the most important part of the promotion of an apprenticeship to a bachelor's degree. Wu Song didn't spend too long to make the situation of Xuecheng transparent. Here, if he wants to live and be respected, even if his fists are still strong, he can't do it. He must become a bachelor.
After entering the school city, Haisha and Zhang Shu disappeared without prior notice. Wu Song was not in a hurry, because even if he was in a hurry, his current body could do nothing. The disappearance of the two also provided him with a bachelor's degree and provided time.
The apprentices in Xuecheng have been taking classes for many years, but most of them can't become bachelors all their lives. Wu Song understands that if he takes this road to compare with his apprentices, he has no chance of winning. What's more, the classroom here seems to be very resistant to him. Wu Song vaguely feels that he has a great credit for staying here, but he can only stay here and can't make use of the resources of this great city.
Glass candles are exams that are free from the normal promotion system. Unless the candles are burned out, people can never come out of the room. After eating up the little food they carry when entering the door, candidates can only wait for the judgment of fate. Xuecheng believes that there are only two possibilities for people who can burn out glass candles: one is to master the most mysterious spells among countless knowledge without self-teachers; the other is to have the help of God and have good luck. Either of these two is enough for the senior management of Xuecheng to agree to absorb a new bachelor.
Before taking this exam, Wu Song just felt that this should be a scary exam, just like the government's notice before going to Jingyanggang. Although there are indeed tigers on Jingyanggang, the apprentices' description of the exam is exactly the same as the tone of the government notice at that time, which makes Wu Song very uncut. He also wanted to prove that although he did not have martial arts, he was still a hero beyond the reach of others.
Then, there was the distress after walking into the house. For a period of time, Wu Song felt that he would definitely starve to death here, because there was only half a piece of broken cake, and no matter how hungry he was, he did not dare to eat it. Because the crumbs are placed there, it is hope that once eaten into the stomach, in this almost closed room, the air will be filled with despair.
The result of the matter was similar to that of Jingyanggang. When he killed the crescent, Wu Song had not realized the meaning of fighting the tiger. He couldn't even remember the process of fighting the tiger, but in the drunken high-level, with instinctive dodge and moves, it was still like this after waking up. The living crescent moon moves quickly, and he didn't have time. Thinking; this time, he passed the exam confusedly, and even doubted whether it was a real pass.
However, the candle was gone, and it was meaningless to continue to wait here. After greedily chewing the crumble, Wu Song stood up and gently pushed the door. The door creaked open. Wu Song did not expect that there was no lock in the chain here. After walking out of the room, he found that there was no thought around the room. The invigilator in the elephant.
Wu Song put it down, and then walked to the place where the bachelor's institute gathered based on his memory. In any case, he had to inform about the candle first. There were more people in the council chamber than usual. When those bachelors saw Wu Song, they all showed a surprised expression, and then opened their mouths one after another, saying almost the same words: "The candle has burned out!"
Wu Song was a little puzzled. After all, he didn't say anything about candles. How did these people know that the candles were gone? At this time, an old man stood in front of Wu Song. Wu Song knew this person. He was Zhang Xue, who was in charge of this exam. Naturally, he should be informed of the results of the exam first.
"You passed the exam." Zhang Xue said this sentence almost word by word, but Wu Song knew that this was only a way for Zhang Xue to express solemnity. Many people here have quirks that outsiders can't understand.
"I don't understand. How do you know that I didn't come out of the room while the candle was still burning?" Wu Song asked the doubts in his heart.
"Because, after I light the candle and close the door, the door will never open if the candle does not go out by itself. During this period, if you extinguish the candle by yourself, the door will be directly and permanently sealed, and there is no possibility of opening it. So if you can come out, you will pass the exam. Zhang Xue answered that there was no other mixed feelings in his language except for the solemn ruling.
