Rune

Chapter 48 Is this a talisman?
Xu Baiyan's singing feels very good about himself.

But before she finished singing, the older professor couldn't hold on any longer, and she waved her hand with difficulty.
"Eh, my classmate, it's ok."

"Oh?" Xu Baiyan finally closed his mouth: "Is it all right?"

"It's okay, it's okay." The old professor wiped his sweat, his voice was like being run over by a car, she didn't even know how to listen anymore, her heart couldn't take it anymore.

"I don't know, who wrote this song?" a proctor asked.

"Uh..." Xu Baiyan was in a bit of trouble. He didn't know who created the song before he traveled, let alone it has been more than ten years since he traveled, but he couldn't say that he made it up, so he held back for a long time: "Maybe Linghu Chong .”

The invigilator frowned, as if he had never heard of this person.

"I don't know, who wrote the words?"

"Maybe it's called Ren Woxing?" Xu Baiyan said embarrassingly.

"This..." the invigilators looked at each other. In the world of Daqin poetry and music, these invigilators can be regarded as prominent figures, but they have never heard of the name in the boy's mouth.

That's all, no matter who composes the music or writes the lyrics, the candidate's singing is very poor, and it can even be regarded as tone-deficient.

"That's the end of today's exam. Candidate, you can take a break and prepare for the martial arts exam later."

These old professors said to Xu Baiyan, then got up and left.

Seeing that the exam was over, many candidates naturally left.

I will have something to eat in a while. For these people, although the martial arts test is only one-tenth of the score, they can't give up for no reason, so it is a difficult test.

As for the results of all the exams, they will be announced in two or three days at the earliest, or four or five days later, and then we will know which ones are happy and which ones are sad.

It was already afternoon, and all the candidates had just eaten their meals.

And in the gap between meals, in a spacious and bright room, an old gentleman surnamed Li was looking at a test paper and worrying.

This test paper is [Poetry], and the answerer is Xu Baiyan.

Take 'Mountain' as the theme.
And the poems written by this examinee named Xu Baiyan are really not good.

No, it's not just that poor, it can even be said that it's not top-notch. Among all the students recruited this year, it's hard to find a poem worse than this.

"There is a big green mountain in front of you. There is water on the mountain and it turns. If you walk forward, there are trees. If you don't see the water, you don't see the mountain."

The teacher who graded the paper rubbed his head. When he read this poem, he even felt a little headache. Normally, if he saw such a poem, he would be eliminated immediately, or even if he was in a bad mood, he would tear up the paper for him.

But when he thought of the young man's writing posture, his bony physique, and the swaying momentum of the mountain wind, he always felt something was wrong.

Looking at the handwriting on this scroll again, it is magnificent to the eye, and there are indescribable myriads of phenomena under careful inspection. Such a single character can be called a treasure of calligraphy.

But why does someone who can write such handwriting write such bad poems?
Thinking, thinking, the old gentleman stared at the paper for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out.

An old teacher in charge of [Spelling] looked at this side, with some doubts: "Lao Li, I think you have a lot of thoughts."

The one called Lao Li smiled wryly: "Haha, it's okay, I just got stuck on a poem, and I don't know how to judge it."

"Oh? In this world, there are still poems that you don't know how to judge? I don't know which examinee wrote them?"

"A candidate named Xu Baiyan." He said.

"Xu Baiyan?" The other person was startled: "Oh, I have the impression that this person was the first to hand in the paper when taking the math test!"

"What?" The old man was startled: "The first one to hand in the paper? How long did it take him?"

"Probably half a stick of incense. And the answer is accurate. This examinee should be a very talented person."

Lao Li frowned even tighter.

A person who writes such bad poems can write stunning handwriting, and is judged as "talented" by the master of mathematics.

This is so contradictory.

So, he got up and walked to the other side: "Let me take a look at his [Spell Number] test paper."

The man handed over Xu Baiyan's paper, and the answer on it was indeed accurate.

"Hiss is so weird." Old Professor Li felt more and more that something was wrong. Suddenly, he thought of something: "Hey? Where is the candidate's straw paper?"

"Paper?" The other person was taken aback: "Why are you looking at his papyrus?"

"I don't know, but I always want to see. This year's arithmetic test questions are not easy. He can calculate it in half a stick of incense. He must have a unique way."

"It makes sense, so I want to see it too."

Just like that, the two old gentlemen from Chaodu Academy began to search for it in a pile of straw papers, and after a while, they said, "I found it!"

One of them took out a piece of straw paper and threw it on the table.

The two gazes looked at the past in unison, and at this glance, both of them were stunned!
What is this?
They looked at the straw paper, and Xu Baiyan was puzzled by the geometric figures listed.

"Maybe, this vertical line represents the mountain peak, and this horizontal line represents the length." The old professor who taught mathematics said thoughtfully.

"It's all understandable, but what does this symbol mean?" Mr. Li asked, pointing to an [X] on the scrap paper.

"I don't know."

"It's not just this [X], look, there's also this [A] [B] symbol, and this [Y]" Lao Li pointed at Xu Baiyan's straw paper, his eyes became more cautious.

After a long while, he finally expressed his thoughts.

"Are these strange things talismans?"

"How is it possible? How can you use talismans to do arithmetic calculations?"

"How would I know?" Professor Lao Li said, "But no matter what, this candidate will never write these weird things for no reason.
Otherwise, just to be on the safe side.
Go ask someone from Fuyuan to come over and take a look? "
