Rising: Ten Thousand Years Chapter 19: : Solemn ceremony

At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, hundreds of armored men with swords rushed into the 'A' examination room on horses. This is the regular army of the southeast state.

This is a flintlock gun. After the bomb was developed, the flintlock gun came into being.

Every armor is majestic and full of murderous aura. A hundred war horses were scattered in every corner of the examination room and stood still, silently.

A moment later, the bell rang suddenly, and someone borrowed an electric horn and started shouting:

"The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven begins. Candidates stand up, mourn for their ancestors, pray for the empire, and pray for themselves!"

The voice was repeated three times and spread throughout the examination room A.

In the rows of small prison-like rooms, all the candidates stood up nervously, and they also became nervous amidst these solemn words.

The guards began to search the examination room one by one, making sure that every examinee stood up and performed the ceremony.

After arriving at Li Zhen's room, he saw Li Zhen still lying on the ground unconscious. Then some armor went in to call, but they couldn't wake up. Immediately, a military armor came with two buckets of cold water.

"Splash!"

Shout out loud.

Two buckets of cold water were poured on Li Zhen who was lying unconscious on the ground.

'Ah'

Li Zhen was awakened on the spot with a cold heart. I just feel like I have a splitting headache, and my whole body is groggy, and I always look at two people.

His whole body was cold, and he couldn't help shivering.

"I... where am I?"

Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, the guards with knives, and his naked appearance, Li Zhen was startled. Could it be that he was caught by the horse thief in Yanziji?

But the guard yelled: "Candidate 0916. Stand up immediately, mourn, pray, and pray for blessings!"

When Li Zhen heard this, he was extremely astonished, the examination room? How did I get to the examination room?

I can't think too much, I just feel like I have a splitting headache. The high fever has reached this point, and now he feels uncomfortable all over his body.

The officer locked the door of the examination room and left. Li Zhen stood there shivering, with his hands clasped on his chest, feeling bone-chillingly cold.

Under the high fever, the body was already afraid of the cold, and two buckets of cold water were poured on it, which is not a sin of human beings.

Although Li Zhen didn't know how he got here or what time it was, he had heard about the rules of the examination room a long time ago.

The sacrifice to heaven is the grandest ceremony before the exam...

"Yes, I suddenly remembered that I have to enter the examination room the night before."

Li Zhen suddenly realized that it was written on the precautions for the exam. But I have experienced life and death today, and I forgot about it. It was only when I was in the examination room that I suddenly remembered this, but I was puzzled again, who sent me here?

At this time, there were sounds of candidates talking outside, and Li Zhen also walked to the door and stuck his head out to look. In a row of examination rooms, all the examinees poked their heads out from the cracks in the door and were all watching.

Some candidates are discussing across the room:

"I heard that every year in the college entrance examination, many people across the country die in the examination room."

"Yes, I heard that this examination room is haunted."

"I'm really scared. I'm alone in this house, and I'm so flustered. I don't even have the time to think about it."

"After the ceremony is over, I won't be able to sleep."

“…”

Hearing these words, Li Zhen was a little flustered, haunted? I have heard of it myself, but to be honest, I have never seen any ghosts.

At this time, the examiner's voice came from the electric speaker again: "The examinee mourns in silence."

There was no silence, and everyone still looked out, but stopped talking.

After a while, suddenly a team of fast horses galloped around the examination room. At the head was a general in splendid armour, riding a white horse and carrying a huge red banner in his hand. Running wildly waving the flag all the way.

Behind them are eighteen warriors riding black horses. Each warrior holds a saber in his right hand and a lantern in his left hand.

Lantern. Something that has long since been eliminated.

After the direct current was invented a hundred years ago, various lighting tools were born, and the flashlight is one of them. But at this time, everyone was carrying lanterns, which was indescribably weird.

After Li Zhen stared blankly at the pair of soldiers running around the examination room for a few laps, the general suddenly shook the red flag violently and shouted loudly:

"Zhao, the gods of heaven and earth in southeast state, worship the heaven and earth and ancestors, hope the gods of heaven and earth protect the success of the college entrance examination in southeast state, hope the gods of heaven and earth protect the talents of the Kyushu Empire, and hope the gods of heaven and earth protect the order of the examination room..."

After the general finished shouting, the eighteen soldiers behind him shouted again in unison. Then left.

The examinees kept sighing, and Li Zhen was also very emotional, and couldn't help but feel extremely solemn deep in his heart.

'Drive'

At this time, another group of armored horses galloped around the examination room.

The leader was another general, still riding a white horse, followed by eighteen soldiers on black horses.

The difference is that this general has a blue flag in his hand.

'Hoo Hoo'

With the constant waving of the flag, he ran around the examination room six times, and then stopped, standing on the high platform and waving the blue flag frantically.

Shaking for a while, shouted loudly in the silence:

"Call, the souls of the candidates' ancestors, relatives, brothers and friends. I hope to cheer for the candidates and protect the candidates for a bright future."

“…”

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar in the examination room, and many candidates became commotions. Still recruiting ghosts?

Li Zhen was also subconsciously terrified. He had heard that during the exam, ghosts would be recruited in the exam room, but he thought it was a legend, but he didn't expect it to be true.

After speaking, the armor of the second team also withdrew.

After a while, I saw the third team of armor running wildly around the entire examination room. Amid the sound of cavalry, many candidates trembled. The atmosphere in the examination room instantly became heavy and strange.

The general of the third team was holding a black flag in his hand. All kinds of weird symbols are drawn on the black flag, which makes one's scalp tingle.

The third team stopped, the general waved the black flag wildly, and roared:

"Recruitment, with all candidates who have grudges and grudges, ghosts and ghosts from all walks of life. If some of the candidates have committed crimes, today's ghosts from all walks of life... have revenge for revenge, and resentment for grudges. Life and death depend on fate and wealth! "

Eighteen soldiers repeated: "Where there is revenge, revenge, if there is resentment, revenge, life and death are destiny and wealth!"

Hiss——

The third team withdrew, and the entire examination room was filled with the sound of air-conditioning.

Li Zhen's face was pale, and his whole body was dripping with cold sweat. Looking at the other candidates who poked their heads out, they also had expressions of horror on their faces. Everyone looked around in fear.

Is this the way to sacrifice to heaven?

First sacrifice the gods of heaven and earth, then invite the ancestors of each family, and then invite the dead souls of the enemies of each family? This... this is so creepy.

Trembling all over, Li Zhen shrank his head back and looked around in his small room, looking a little gloomy under the dim light.

In the afternoon, I killed one person with my own hands, Qi Lengzi killed six, and buried six dead people with my own hands... At this moment, he suddenly summoned ghosts to make the dead souls revenge and revenge.

Li Zhen's hairs stood on end, looking at the quiet environment around him, he always felt extremely gloomy, as if the whole room was already full of things he couldn't see...

Right now Li Zhen has a splitting headache, a persistent high fever, and wants to sleep. But in this environment, he found that he could no longer fall asleep.

As soon as I lay on the wooden bed, I felt like there was someone under the bed.

Turned over to sleep, and seemed to feel that there was someone behind her.

Sleeping on my stomach feels like someone is on the roof.

After the three teams retreated, it seemed that the examination room was full of invisible people. It seemed that they could see the teachers who died in Yanziji with their faces covered in blood, and they seemed to be able to see the teacher whose head was smashed by himself. Horse thief. The old lively.

"Ah!"

Suddenly, a shrill scream sounded.

Li Zhen's hair stood on end, and he hurried to the door and stuck his head out. At this time, almost all the candidates also stuck out their heads, looking around in horror.

"Who? Who is screaming?"

"Really... is there really a ghost coming to take revenge?"

"My god, why is the test so scary!"

“…”

But seeing the sound of horseshoes, a fully armed warrior riding a war horse, with a flintlock gun in one hand and a sword in the other hand ran out of the darkness: "Who is making noise!"

In an examination room of 'A0942' in the corner, there was a scream of a candidate crying bitterly:

"I won't take the test, I won't take the test. I feel like a ghost, so I won't take the test. Send me back, I want to go home..."

The war horse stopped again, and the fully armed warrior retreated into the dark corner without saying a word.

The examinee seemed to have collapsed. He slammed his head against the iron gate frantically, and stuck out his **** head again, crying:

"Is it okay if I don't take the exam? I have to go, I have to go back. I feel like there is a ghost, I feel that there is someone in my exam room who is always watching me behind me."

"Help, there is really a ghost."

"Then talk to me, okay? I'm scared, who will talk to me, please don't be silent."

The examinee had already collapsed, and everyone poked their heads out to look at him silently, not daring anyone to pick up on him.

The examinee started to break down and scream again: "Soldier, can you stand at the door of my examination room? I'm scared if you stand at my door."

"Is it okay if I don't take the exam?"

“…”

A moment later, an invigilator came over with a livid face: "0942, are you sure you don't want to take the exam?"

"I won't take the test, I won't take the test. I don't want to stay here anymore."

"Open the door and let him go."

Immediately, a guard opened the iron gate, and escorted the collapsed and tearful examinee away ~IndoMTL.com~ out of the examination room involuntarily. Immediately, someone came over again, and two seals were pasted on the door of the examination room.

It is said that it is recruiting ghosts, but it is actually a criterion for the state to test the mental quality of candidates. Scholars are not afraid of ghosts and ghosts, they are just full of righteousness. If you can't overcome your own fear, then it means that you are not so firm in your desire for a bright future. The psychological quality is too poor, how can he serve the empire in the future?

All the examinees sighed and became more and more panicked.

Li Zhen swallowed his saliva, and returned to the bed naked, sighing in his heart that there is not even a quilt here. chilly.

The fever hasn't subsided yet, it's torture to be naked in the middle of the night.

A moment later, another candidate broke down and cried bitterly: "I don't take the exam!"

Li Zhen didn't go out to see it, but lay on the bed and kept saying to himself in hypnosis: "There are no ghosts in the world, there are no ghosts in the world..."

In the middle of the night, the examinee next door kicked the wall with his feet. Li Zhen only heard the sound of thumping, and the examinee shouted from the next door: "0916. Can you talk to me for a while?"

"0916, I'm afraid. You can talk to me, it's too quiet around here."

"0916, I seem to see two headless people wandering around my place, as if passing through the wall and past your place."

"0916?"

“…”

Li Zhen was trembling, his face was pale at this moment, and a weak whiteness gushed out of his mouth. He didn't care about being afraid now, he just felt so uncomfortable that he was going to die.

With two eyes, it seems that the world is spinning, and the whole body is limp and weak, and cold sweat flows out layer after layer.

The high fever is already extremely serious.

In this groggy state, he still rolled his eyes and fell asleep...
