The guards picked up their weapons, and Shen Ningning and Xu Jingxi rushed over.
Arriving at the other courtyard separated by a wall, Ye Changyi fell to the ground, rubbing her ankles. The Black Wolf King was guarding her, looking around with vigilant wolf eyes.
Everyone was stunned when they saw the scene in front of them.
Blue flames floated in the air, one after another, more than a dozen in total.
The guards were also stunned.
"Will-o'-the-wisp, it's a will-o'-the-wisp!" Someone screamed in fright.
Everyone is familiar with will-o'-the-wisps. In the wilderness at the foot of the mountain, you can occasionally see groups of flames floating around tombs.
Xu Jingxi said seriously: "Shen Ningning, please leave here first."
Not far away, Ye Changyi's crying voice was very sad.
"My ankle seems to be sprained and I can't stand up. Wuwu, Ningning, save me, don't leave me alone."
Shen Ningning's soft voice was very calm and full of childlike innocence: "Don't be afraid, I won't leave. "
As she spoke, she took a step forward and stretched out her little hand to touch the nearest will-o'-the-wisp.
"Be careful!" Xu Jingxi's expression changed, and he stepped forward and pulled her behind him.
Shen Ningning blinked her big eyes: "Don't worry, I think I know what's going on. This is not caused by ghosts at all."
Ye Changyi had already grabbed the Black Wolf King's neck and was pulled back all the way.
Her legs were weak and her face was full of tears.
"It's not a ghost? Then there are so many will-o'-the-wisps? As soon as I walked over, I saw them jumping in the air."
Shen Ningning covered her mouth with her small hands: "Well, how should I explain it to you? Do you know, each of us has There is a substance called 'phosphorus' in the body. After a person dies, the phosphorus buried in the ground will volatilize, and when it encounters very hot weather, it will naturally burn into a blue flame."
Everyone present said . It was confusing to hear.
What "spirit"?
Ye Changyi was still trembling: "Then how can it float?"
"It is very light and will follow the wind. If you don't believe it, look at it." Shen Ningning let out a roar and pushed forward with her little hand, causing the wind to push the two bushes in front of her. The will-o'-the-wisp flew forward twice.
Ye Changyi's eyes widened in surprise: "How awesome! Ning Ning, you can control the will-o'-the-wisp!"
The little guy chuckled: "I told you it wasn't the ghost."
She analyzed carefully: "This place used to be a mass burial. Gang, there must be a lot of skeletons down there, so it's not surprising that there will be phosphorus fire."
Xu Jingxi frowned in confusion: "How do you...know this?"
He thought he had read a lot of books. , but compared with Shen Ningning, he seems to be far behind.
Shen Ningning blinked her big eyes, paused for a moment, and then said with a smile: "My mother left a booklet with explanations in it."
In fact, it was her mother's booklet that taught her how to write the word "phosphorus" , and, my mother wrote this interesting story behind this word.
He also said that many people don't understand it and think it's a ghost.
In fact, it is just a reaction.
Xu Jingxi thought for a moment and suddenly felt something was wrong.
"You just said that this 'spirit' only burns when it's very hot. So, it's autumn now, why is it so hot?"
Ye Changyi was surprised: "That's right!"
Shen Ningning also puffed up her cheeks and thought carefully.
Suddenly, she remembered something and bent down to touch the ground with her little hands.
"I felt it right before, the ground here is hot!"
Everyone hurriedly touched it to confirm, and it was indeed the case!
Why is the ground so hot in this beautiful deserted house in the mountains?
At this moment, the Black Wolf King howled.
Shen Ningning's eyes widened: "Come on, let's go take a look in front. Wolf Lang said that there is a strange smell in the mountains behind the house."
As she said that, she turned over and sat on the back of the Black Wolf King. Everyone quickly raised their lamps and followed Behind the Wolf King.
The branches in the mountains and fields are slanting, and the dense forests are deep.
The deeper they walked, the darker it became and it became almost invisible. Fortunately, they brought a light with them.
"Is there the sound of running water?" Ye Changyi suddenly asked. Everyone nodded in agreement, and Xu Jingxi sniffed carefully: "There seems to be a faint smell of sulfur."
When the Black Wolf King led them over the hillside, they stood at the top and looked down, and everyone's eyes flashed with sparkling waves. color.
"Wow!!" Shen Ningning's eyes widened in surprise.
How dark the woods were just now, now the eyes are so bright and open.
In the unknown mountain col, there are actually several hot springs!
Under the care of the moonlight, the hot spring water is milky white, exuding a light mist in the slightly cool autumn night.
"It turns out that the geothermal heat is due to the hot springs here." Moreover, because of the legend of "ghosts" here, it has not been discovered by others.
Ye Changyi held on to the tree trunk and murmured to herself: "Ning Ning, this is really a big discovery!" At
the end of October.
Autumn is gradually fading and entering winter.
Master Han inspected the completion of the students' tasks.
Everyone turned in their forms one by one and stated their good deeds.
But the good deeds done by some students are really outrageous!
Master Han frowned and looked at Lu Shaoyuan standing in front of him.
"You disbanded half of the bank? Why?"
"I opened that half of the bank. I stopped giving the rich people the opportunity to save money and called on them to go to the other bank. The one was opened by my mother. , she will help the poor regularly."
Looking at Lu Shaoyuan's serious answer, it seemed that he really thought this was a good idea.
Master Han was surprised: "You are really a..." genius.
Master Han waved his hand wordlessly: "Next."
He was afraid that if he said a few more words to Lu Shaoyuan, he couldn't help but beat him.
Check it out after a whole day of review.
What impressed the ladies the most was the good deeds done by Xie Yuanjiu and several ladies in partnership.
They bought fish from the market and released them. At the same time, fishermen downstream caught them again and sent them to the market.
It avoids excessive killing and also meets the needs of fish sellers and fishermen.
Only Master Han frowned.
"Something doesn't feel right." Is this a good deed?
In addition to thanking Yuanjiu, there is also Liang Yici's approach. She performed a sword dance on the street, and all the silver reward she received went to help beggars.
Master Han nodded appreciatively.
The students gathered around Master's table and asked one after another: "Master, have you decided? Who is the most outstanding in doing good deeds and can dine with the emperor?"
Master Han looked around and said: "Wait a minute, Ning Ning hasn't handed over yet. "Yeah."
Xie Yuanjiu stood aside with a few close female classmates, and laughed quietly when he heard this.
They whispered -
"There is only one stick of incense left, and the sun will set. If the princess can't hand it over, will the master punish her?"
"What are you thinking? Master Han loves the princess so much and regards her as his pride. Disciple, will you be willing to punish her? "
"That's right, princess, she is different from us, it's not unusual for her to make an exception."
As they spoke, they looked at Xie Yuanjiu again: "I just can't stand the princess bullying you, wait. Look, this time the Master will definitely choose you to come to the palace to have dinner with the Emperor. When the time comes, the Xie family will regret kicking you out. "
Xie Yuanjiu is good at making friends. He only picks out what they like to hear and will do what they want. .
In just two months, she had made friends again at the Chinese Academy of Chinese Studies.
In the eyes of these female classmates, Shen Ningning bullied others, and Xie Yuanjiu was not as thoughtful as her, so she was kicked out.
Several people were waiting to see Xie Yuanjiu feel proud.
At this moment, Ye Changyi's voice came from the door: "Master, we are here, the essay has been written!"
Xie Yuanjiu looked over and saw Shen Ningning following Ye Changyi. The little guy was wearing a brocade dress. Wearing small pearls on her head, she looks extremely cute and delicate.
