If the Water Margin

Chapter 391 The Scepter that Will Break

"Although against Judgment Day, that is the best choice. However, I still want to ask you to think about it. At the beginning of its establishment, the purpose of Xuecheng was to help the world live a better life by studying knowledge, to fight against fate and harsh nature, to help unarmed people and avoid the pursuit of sword soldiers. However, for hundreds of years, Xuecheng has been moving towards an extreme. In order to obtain knowledge, we have gradually become unscrupulous. We only value our own achievements, but ignore the help to others. Once we judged that person... I don't want to say the word 'that person' anymore. When we judged the iron bachelor, the reason we used was to be too indifferent, but looking at us now, it was colder than him at that time. I want to remind you again that using that will make all the souls buried in the desert boil. They will eat everyone in the desert except the bachelors and apprentices, not only those violent (harmonious) chaos, but also the people in the old city. I emphasize again that it is everyone!" Zhang Xueshi waved his fist, and Wu Song saw that Zhang Xue was making a rescue.

"Bachelor Zhang, do you mean that it is right to let the mob kill us and destroy the accumulation of Xuecheng for thousands of years? I also remind you that in that case, all souls in the desert will be out of control, and they will become immortal. If they lose the control of Xuecheng, they will rush out of the desert, and even the people outside the desert will not be able to survive. Bachelor Zhang, maybe you have been in the position of bachelor for too long. You are not the one who has passed the test of glass candles. You, an indecisive person, will not be convinced to become a bachelor. The beard is tit-for-tat, and the focus of his words has gradually changed from targeting things to people.

"That's all, Bachelor Li, you're right, but you're not a person who passed the glass candle. Speaking of which, a bachelor who just passed the glass candle test has just emerged in Xuecheng. Since you admire this so much, you can ask him what he has." Zhang Xue directly flashed his body and gave up Wu Song.

At this time, Wu Song knew that Zhang Xueshi was originally a bachelor in Xuecheng, which sounded like a good position. He also just knew that the moustache was originally called Bachelor Li. Wu Song has been listening carefully to these people's arguments. He doesn't know much about this place. He is trying to analyze what they are discussing through these people's words, but he doesn't want Zhang to push him to the front desk.

"That strong cripple?" Bachelor Li laughed.

This ridicule made Wu Song angry. Wu Erlang came out of his mother's womb and had never been laughed at by others. Although he could no longer fight fiercely, he couldn't help clenching his fists.

"Bachelet Li, although I am a cripple, you may not be able to take advantage of the close fight of the most ordinary Jianghu guests! At least, I passed the test of glass candles. I'm afraid you don't even have the courage to participate in this test. A person who can't even decide his name really doesn't know why you shout in front of so many outstanding beings. Wu Song sneered.

"You..." Li wanted to say something, but lowered his head helplessly.

Wu Song understands that this comes from the strict hierarchy of Xuecheng. Bachelor Zhang just said that the bachelors who pass the glass candle examination have a higher status than other bachelors, which is a real reaction to this in the dialogue with Bachelor Li. Although Wu Song hates this hierarchy, because no one is born lowly, it is also a good thing to make the arrogant Li Xueshi bow his head effortlessly.

"Everyone, I just came here and I don't know much about the situation. If you want to express your opinion, you have to know more about it. Anyway, the notice from the old city hasn't come yet, so please help me introduce what you are discussing. Wu Song said to the crowd.

"Wu Song, let me introduce you." Zhang Xueqi opened his mouth. After all, he is a bachelor, and his words are still extremely weighty. Although Zhang Xueshi looks a little strange, he can basically be regarded as a good person. Wu Song is also very satisfied with him telling the story.

"At the beginning of the establishment of the school city, there was a wall in the middle. According to the classics, this wall will grow slowly until the school city is divided into two parts. Then one day, it will begin to wither because of sudden circumstances. That day is the Judgment Day. According to the remarks thousands of years ago, the day of judgment is the disaster of the school city, and it is difficult to escape. Three hundred years after the establishment of the school city, the wall grew to the limit and divided the city into two parts. At that time, in order to learn better study knowledge, the bachelors divided the city into two and renovated the east side with a few building materials. This side is called the new city, and if it has not been renovated, it is naturally old. The city. Since then, the hierarchy you know has formed. The old city has also been cast various spells by spell-knowing bachelors from past dynasties, the purpose of which is naturally to maintain the majesty of the new city. The bachelors are more and more satisfied with this kind of life in the new city. They enjoy more and more ways, and then they are more and more afraid. All people are afraid that one day they will be pulled down from the position of ruler and the sudden arrival of Judgment Day, so generations of bachelors have created a way to fight against Judgment Day. When Zhang said this, his tone was full of lamentation.

After lamenting, he continued: "In the desert where Xuecheng is located, there are countless victims, most of whom have been killed by the desert for thousands of years. A major classification of Xuecheng's knowledge is about studying the dead. These people let the souls of the dead remain in the desert and let their souls serve the living. The boat of the desert carried the people in the school city to swim in the desert. Later, they were not satisfied with this simple slavery, and then signed a contract with these victims. The bachelors in the school city had the right to issue a summoning order to summon all souls in the desert and slaughter the living except the apprentices and bachelors. Then, the deceased The soul can leave the desert and have the right to enter the world of the dead. For hundreds of years, the number of souls controlled in the desert has reached an amazing level. I'm afraid that the people in the old city will all die within a quarter of an hour..."

"What if the summoning order is not issued? What will happen if people from the old city flood into the new city? Wu Song was curious about this issue. He wondered why these bachelors with supreme power were stupid enough to enslave others with just a wall.

"Originally, there were many guards in the new city, and there were many bachelors who entered the Taoism with martial arts, but Wu Song, you should have heard of the iron bachelor. Decades ago, he made a scene in the city because of a woman, using throwing skills and his conspiracy tricks he didn't know how to practice. Kill all the people with force, and the remaining bachelors, not to mention practicing martial arts, even few people who know magic. I can tell you that once those people in the old city pour in, we will have no way to fight back. Zhang Xue spread his hands and his face turned pale.

What about the apprentice? I see that many apprentices are quite good at skills? Wu Song asked.

"Bachelor Zhang, those things you said are useless. Come on, Wu Song, let me tell you what's going on. Luo Yu said, "It's strange that the group of bachelors is too harsh for other people in the school city. People in the old city, even want to talk, have to find a place where there is no sound forbidden curses, where the resistance has formed a considerable scale. Even the apprentices in the new city have always been dissatisfied with the bachelors. The main reason why they have not formed a resistance force is that they may become bachelors and become the rulers of the city. However, the invasion of the resistance forces in the old city will make this idea come to nothing. It is foreseeable that once the forces in the old city have an advantage or even balance the power, a large number of apprentices will defect, and the bachelors will be destroyed, which is only a matter of time.

"It seems that it's not the right time for me to become a bachelor." After listening to the beard, Wu Song was stunned for a while and muttered in a low voice. This is his real idea. After all, after he became a bachelor, he didn't even have time to drink a sip of wine. This noble identity is likely to become the reason for a broken head. Life is really a joke.

"But you are now a bachelor." Li Xue said viciously, "They will tear you up before they tear us up, because you passed the glass candle exam, and you are the most dangerous person."

After Li Xue's reminder, Wu Song also found the seriousness of the problem. Previously, he had been watching this matter with an attitude of staying out of the matter. Now it seems that he is too optimistic. The scene is very clear. If Wu Song agrees to use the summoning order, those radical bachelors will immediately implement the matter. However, all the people in the old city are going to die. Wu Song knows that there are more people in the old city than in the new city. The most important thing is that there will be many innocent people who do not participate in any resistance and will be killed by invisible souls. Although Wu Song has become disabled, the justice in his heart has never been forgotten.

This kind of killing, no matter how it is counted, cannot be regarded as justice.

At this time, a shadow came from afar. The shadow was extremely fast and almost lightning arrived at the council chamber. It was not until then that Wu Song understood that the visitor was an apprentice.

"Dear bachelors, do you know there is a person named Wu Song?" The apprentice went to the council chamber and did not report anything else. First of all, he asked.
