Rune

Chapter 69 Good.
The exam finally passed.

But when this absurd, weird, flipped several times, but with a bit of drama and pretense will pass, no one knows.

The morning sun descended like a gift from the gods again, forming a sharp boundary between light and darkness with the towering and somewhat unreasonable shadow of the city wall. This boundary continued to spread from east to west until it enveloped the entire Chaoduxiong city.

After several days of hustle and bustle, the school finally started.

first day.
Although the first day of entering Chaodu Academy is called the beginning of classes, there are no classes.

Instead, let the students from the previous class take the freshmen to take a good look around the school city. After all, this place is too big. If you don’t spend a while to recognize it, then the real class will start, and more than half of the people will get lost.

"The school uniform material is really good, are you sure you don't want money?"

On the street, four people walked together, and one of them kept rolling the sleeves of his school uniform. He had asked the same question countless times.Dong Fugui next to him was so depressed that he wanted to dump him a few gold pancakes to persuade him to keep his mouth shut.

"Brother Xu, we are celebrities in the imperial capital now, can we look like a celebrity, and you still care about whether you need money for this school uniform."

Xu Baiyan smiled wryly: "I really don't know how I became a celebrity. It is impossible for me to get full marks for my poetry and music theory. There must be something wrong with it. I have to figure it out when the class starts. And it doesn't matter if I become famous. You will send me money according to your reputation, I am not as rich as you."

"Tsk, I know you don't like unfair things with your temper, but now you're on the favorable side, and you still don't like it. I really haven't seen anyone like you. Also, reputation is the most profitable thing .” Dong Fugui’s family is in business, so he said with a smile:
"Go to a restaurant right now and say that you want to write a song for him and ask for five gold pancakes. The restaurant owner will happily hand you eight. If you decline, he can give you ten. "

"I can't compose music."

"Well, I believe it." Dong Fugui curled his lips: "But you can ask other people on this street whether they believe it or not."

Xu Baiyan raised his eyes, and his eyes intersected with the people around him from time to time, and found that many people were looking at him, and they all seemed to be surprised.A few people were eager to try, and they were about to rush over to talk to Xu Baiyan. He was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head and muttered:

"This is unreasonable, this is unreasonable!"

Xie Qingwan next to him sighed: "Okay, don't promote your ways of profiteers, we need to know the way to Xuecheng today, and the class will really start in a few days, if you get lost, no one will help you to plead with your husband. "

She said, pointing to a row of buildings in front of her: "No, that piece is the Hanhai Building, which is also the main building of the Poetry Department. In the past ten years, there have been seven poets in this building.

Four of them wrote "Da Qin Poems" full-time, and the position of compiling this book has been passed down for hundreds of years;

One entered the imperial city, and probably became the teacher of some prince;

The remaining two went to Rehai on the north side. Over the years, the refugees in northern Xinjiang have always provoked wars. Daqin's poems and songs are being praised there very slowly. I don't know how long this stupid battle will last. .”

Speaking of the refugees from northern Xinjiang, several of them also subconsciously sighed and shook their heads.

Northern Xinjiang!It can be seen from the literal meaning that it is the extreme north side of the Great Qin territory.

Like the ghost land in the south, the northern border is also an extremely cold place, but there are not too many continents, only a small amount of frozen soil, large glaciers, and seawater that can't be seen.

In this extremely cold place, there are quite a few people, most of whom rely on fishing for a living.

Northern Xinjiang is naturally also the territory of Great Qin, but the people of Northern Xinjiang are not under the control of Great Qin.He even hated Daqin, and went to war with Daqin's frontier army whenever he had nothing to do.

As for the reason, it is a very confused account.

Hundreds of years ago, something like a "ghost" suddenly appeared in the south, and people talked about it suddenly, and even thought that it was a divine punishment from heaven to destroy the world.

And because ghosts can only appear in extremely cold places, some people in the imperial city at that time put forward a theory, that is, if there are ghosts in the south, then the north is also in an extremely cold place, and ghosts will also appear.

In that dark era, Qin people's research on ghosts and runes was not as thorough as it is now. Many theories are based on fair thoughts, and ghosts are really scary, so the emperor of Qin at that time An extremely absurd decree has been issued!

Block the northern border!

People from northern Xinjiang are not allowed to set foot in Daqin, and the edge of Rehai is stationed by the Qin army. Business exchanges, cultural transmission, and even negotiation with people from northern Xinjiang are prohibited!If there are really big ghosts, let the people from Beijiang fight them. If they lose, the ghosts will also eat the people from Beijiang.

Such a purpose is really insane, even a little childish like self-deception.

How can the people of northern Xinjiang beat the big ghost?

What do people from northern Xinjiang do when they finish eating?Isn't it still going to rush to the hinterland of Daqin?

However, such a ridiculous decree was implemented at an extremely fast speed at that time, and the northern border was sealed, and this seal lasted for more than 200 years.

It wasn't until the talisman masters on Qianmo Mountain finally developed a huge talisman that could suppress the spread of the big hole, and the ghost domain was finally contained. The Daqin Slaughter Ghost Army fought with the ghosts and suppressed them to the south. At this time, people Finally, I had the heart to take a look at Beijiang, and finally realized. What the hell is there in Beijiang?
At this time, the emperor who issued this stupid order had already died, and the people in the imperial city also announced again that the blockade of northern Xinjiang would be abolished.

However, more than 200 years of self-government have caused three, four, and even five generations of people in Northern Xinjiang to harbor resentment towards Daqin!With the lifting of the blockade, this resentment finally found an outlet.

That day, the people from Northern Xinjiang rushed to the other side of the hot sea, and started a tragic war with the soldiers of Daqin that everyone knew, but it was never recorded in the annals of history. They were both human beings, but they also had a sea of ​​corpses and blood.

Since then, the refugees in northern Xinjiang have become a kind of existence with a strong color of revenge. For hundreds of years, the hatred has not been eliminated. Many generations of Qin emperors wanted to quell this ridiculous war, but they are still helpless .

In this way, Northern Xinjiang has become a thorn in the hearts of the Great Qin Empire, the military, and even the people who feel aggrieved and blame themselves. When it comes to talking, there is nothing they can do except silence.

Several people were silent for a while, then continued to move forward.

Not long after, they came to the range of Fu Yuan.

Pinger looked at the lonely building standing in the middle of the square, and shrugged: "This is the Fu Yuan, the place where you learn Fu. You all know it, so I won't introduce it."

Xu Baiyan nodded. In the past month or so, he was naturally very familiar with Fuyuan, but now he looked at it as a student of the school, and he still couldn't help but stop.

"Fuyuan. Can't you attend?" He thought for a while and asked.

"I've never heard of it." Ping'er said: "The Fuyuan only recruits students who have the meaning, there is no one who agrees, and even if you go to learn it, you can't write the talisman. How can there be such a thing as an auditor?"

"It makes sense." Xu Baiyan simply responded.

Although he is the top candidate in the examination, his handwriting has passed the test of several teaching teachers of Fuyuan, but there is no sign at all, and the few letters on the cursive paper can only be regarded as random symbols. .

But I don't know why, after the people in Fuyuan read the straw paper, it disappeared, maybe it was lost by someone.

It doesn't matter, in short, Xu Baiyan has no talent to become a talisman teacher, so naturally he cannot enter the talisman academy.

And the rest of the departments began to scramble for him, and in the end, Xu Baiyan was recruited by the 'Poetry' department.

But Xu Baiyan is not interested in poetry.

He came to the imperial capital just to learn talismans.

Zhu Sha once said that she is a genius, but why after such a long time, her words still don't have the slightest meaning?
Didn't she say that she can be called a talisman master?
Oh, no, what she said was: 'You are not a talisman, you are a talisman'

Xu Baiyan spent countless nights thinking about this sentence, but he still didn't understand what she meant.I am a living person, and I am not a piece of paper, so how could it be called a talisman? Even if it is done, what am I?character?Do you still have to take a pen to write and draw on your body?

No matter how it sounds like a joke, he even thinks that Zhu Sha drank too much that day and said something drunk casually.

"It is true that there is no such thing as auditing, but Fuyuan has never prohibited students from other colleges from entering and leaving, so in the future, when you have no classes, you can come and take classes with me." Xie Qingwan said suddenly.

"Together?" Xu Baiyan was startled.

"kindness"

This proposal was as he wished, but immediately afterward, Xu Baiyan hesitated as if he had thought of something.

Xie Qingwan watched him quietly, she regretted a little, why did she make such a request suddenly, seeing Xu Baiyan hesitated, a trace of disappointment flashed in her heart.

But the next moment.
"I've heard a lot of rumors these days, and many people think." Xu Baiyan thought about his words for a while, and finally said bluntly without any romance: "Many people think that I'm pursuing you."

Xie Qingwan only felt a 'thump' all over her body, maybe it was the sun falling from the sky, otherwise how could it be so hot, her hot face was flushed, as if there were waves of heat waves hitting her consciousness.

But what is amazing is that at this time her consciousness suddenly became extremely strong, and she still stood firm in the roiling heat wave. She took a deep breath and made up her mind: "Then you think...you are pursuing Me?"

Xu Baiyan scratched his head: "When I was in Yucheng before, I felt that I was not worthy of you, and even the entire Yucheng people were not worthy of you, and I still think so until now.

But uh."

Xu Baiyan got stuck while talking.

He is a person with a lack of vocabulary, and he is also a boy. All kinds of past lives have long been sealed in his memory. Even if they were not sealed, he was still a bachelor in his previous life.

So when facing Xie Qingwan, how could he be like a fool who didn't understand, unable to comprehend the meaning in the other person's eyes, words, every movement and stillness, or even in the air.

Although youth is a period of time not to care about gains and losses, but if you have been enjoying a girl's heart like this, but have not responded for a long time, then it is not a thing.

What's more, this girl spent so many nights reviewing the exam questions for herself with a candle lamp, shouted her name in front of so many people, and held her sleeve tightly on the day when the results were announced. more nervous than myself.

For an ordinary teenager with little talent and little money, isn't this enough?
"But."

But he just faltered and couldn't speak.

It was awkward for a while.

"Hehe." Xie Qingwan laughed suddenly, but felt that the other party's embarrassed look was clumsy and cute.

Then, she actually changed the subject on her own initiative.

"So, would you like to accompany me to class?"

"Of course." Xu Baiyan said.

Xie Qingwan smiled even brighter, and a ray of light with a little comfort bloomed in the bright sun of May.

"With your temper, it's hard to imagine that girls like you."

"I know I've never had a girl eye."

"After that, if you come to see me, remember to tell me in advance. I can also reserve a seat for you."

"En..." Xu Baiyan looked at Xie Qingwan's earlobe. In fact, he felt that he should look into the other's eyes at this time, but for some reason he didn't dare.

Pinger on the side was dumbfounded.

She looked at that stupid Xu Baiyan
"Can this also be called chasing girls?" She was surprised.

Dong Fugui was also taken aback, looked at Xu Baiyan, then at Xie Qingwan, not knowing which thread was wrong in his mind, he suddenly turned his head to look at Ping'er.

"I want to accompany you to class too! I can even skip class to accompany you!"

Ping'er was so angry that she wanted to scold 'get out'!
But when that word came to my lips, it somehow changed into...
"it is good"

After one word, Ping'er also felt that there was a wrong string in her head, but she was angry and didn't want to change her words. She turned her head away from Dong Fugui, but saw an inconspicuous wild flower on the corner of the street. Doubt this year's spring seems to be longer than previous years.
