Rune

Chapter 70
Having stayed in this world for more than ten years, Xu Baiyan never thought that he could still recall the feeling of being a student in his previous life.

But after more than a month of lessons at Chaodu Academy, he seemed to have returned to that clear and ignorant age all of a sudden,
Compared with the irresponsible teacher in Yucheng, Chaodu is really similar to the college life in his previous life.

It's a little embarrassing that Xu Baiyan has very little interest in the subject of 'Poetry', but has a strong interest and longing for being an auditor in Fu Yuan.So much so that every day after class, he would tirelessly walk a few streets, and then enter the building standing alone in the middle of the square.

And what puzzled many people was that this newly promoted first-ranked scholar seemed to be very concerned about his marks in the exam, and always went to poetry and music theory to say something.

These days, the results of the subject of poetry were finally explained by an old gentleman. It seems that using words as poems can become a new artistic carrier in the future, but Xu Baiyan is still not satisfied with music theory, so every now and then, he I'm about to go there, and I feel like I'm asking for an explanation.

Besides, the department of Fuyuan is different from other departments, it is a subject that relies on talent as a stepping stone, so there is no such thing as 'extracurricular hobbies', and naturally there are no auditors.

However, at this moment, the student sitting in the front row of a certain lecture hall of the Fu Yuan was not from the Fu Yuan, but he listened more seriously than anyone else. But his behavior fell into the eyes of other students, and he had already become a This is a little fun between talented scholars and beautiful ladies who have just begun to love each other.

No one would drive Xu Baiyan away, and no one would question why a person without talent came here to attend lectures every day, and no one would mutter behind his back why this poor scholar sticks to Xie Qingwan's side every day.

All the previous suspicions, jealousy, and gossip were all smashed into scum with the announcement of the admissions exam that day, and Li Honghu's piano music by the Yuanli River, and even the teachers of Fuyuan liked this student very much. , even if he has no talent.

Because he listened to the lectures too seriously, and his handwriting was so beautiful.

"So, what exactly is Fuyi?"

After class, Xu Baiyan followed an old gentleman and asked as he walked towards the gate of Fu Yuan.

"Haha." The old man smiled while holding his beard: "The talisman is invisible, but it does exist. It is in the wind around you and me, in the sun and rain, and you can touch it with a wave of your hand, but People can't perceive it, and it can only be presented by using pen and ink as a carrier."

"However. If the carrier is pen and ink, there is not much difference between pen and ink in the world. Why can it be divided into [people who agree] and [people who do not agree] with different people?"

The old man frowned: "I can't answer this, because for thousands of years in Daqin, people who study runes are people who have the meaning, just like men can never understand the feelings of women when they are pregnant, so there is no People can explain why this thing of conformity varies from person to person.”

Xu Baiyan hesitated for a while: "Sir, what do you think is the difference between a human being and a talisman? Is it possible for a human being to become some kind of talisman?"

"Haha, strange idea, of course not."

"Then if someone says [You are not a talisman teacher, you are a talisman], how should you understand this statement?"

"This" said the old man with a frown, "it should be random nonsense."

Xu Baiyan nodded thoughtfully.

The old man looked at the student in front of him, recalled his various performances since the beginning of school, and couldn't help sighing: "Bai Yan, you are the hardest-working and most thinking student I have ever met, but you still have to look at things like talismans. Talent cannot be remedied by the day after tomorrow, so don't waste too much energy on things that have no results, I have heard that your talent in poetry and music is already amazing, so don't force it."

"Junior, thank you for the old man's teaching." He responded sincerely and gratefully, but there was still no intention of giving up in his tone.

"Hahaha——" the old man laughed, as if he knew the result a long time ago: "I know you are an unreasonable and stubborn person! Why don't you go to the library of Fuyuan, where there is a The Talisman books from all over the world collected by the Metropolitan Academy contain many people’s research and opinions on runes, and perhaps many of your questions can be answered there.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Baiyan saluted immediately, "Thank you, old sir."

"Hey, there's nothing to be thankful for. I just want you to give up losing interest in the 'talisman' as soon as possible." The old man said earnestly.

At this time, the two had already reached the gate of Fuyuan, and the old gentleman waved his hand, indicating that today's answering session would end here.

Xu Baike also stopped, watched the old gentleman get into a carriage and watched him disappear at the corner of the street, finally heaved a sigh.

It has been almost two months since I was an auditor in Fu Yuan, and the biggest knowledge point Xu Baiyan has acquired is: "You are not suitable to be a Fu teacher."

at this time
"What, got hit again?" A voice came from behind, it was Xie Qingwan.

During this period of time, she has also gotten used to her junior's style of dealing with things that is always inexplicably optimistic and hopeful. Even though she knows that she has no chance, she is still unwilling to give up.So every day after school, she also habitually followed Xu Baiyan, listening to the questions asked by the other party, and sometimes even looking forward to hearing some theories that would allow her to enter the talisman path, but for so long, No progress at all.
Xu Baiyan smiled wryly: "Yeah, but I'm used to being hit. Fortunately, I still got something today."

"The library?"

"Well, have you been there?"

Xie Qingwan shook her head: "No, in fact, the books in the library are all theoretical books, and the most important thing for things like talismans is self-practice and enlightenment, so few people go to them. over there."

Xu Baiyan smiled: "Haha, that's just right, I don't have any chance to comprehend the talisman, and I feel that place is quite suitable for me."

Sensing the enthusiasm of the junior in front of her for the future, Xie Qingwan smiled even more intensely: "That's okay, then you can go to the library more often after class these days, maybe you can gain something."

Xu Baiyan was taken aback for a moment: "Can't you come to Fu Yuan?"

"Of course not. If you like to come, who can stop you." Xie Qingwan said, and then seemed a little disappointed: "It's just... I have to go out recently."

"Going out? Where are you going?"

"This..." Xie Qingwan hesitated, looked around, and found that the students had all left, so she whispered: "Qianmo Mountain."

"What?!" Xu Baiyan exclaimed in shock, but he didn't shout out.

Xie Qingwan said helplessly: "No way, this year is the four-year talisman meeting, so the talisman academy selected some people to go to Qianmo Mountain to exchange talisman Taoism, and by the way, they can return with the talisman masters on the mountain. You also know that I am here The reputation in Fuyuan naturally has to follow."

As she spoke, it seemed that she was still a little unwilling to say such honors in her mouth.

"Haha, that's really great!" Xu Baiyan was pleasantly surprised: "Then when and how long will you be going?"

"I should be leaving tonight. As for when I will come back, it will be three or four months at least, and maybe it will be the end of the year if it is too many." Xie Qingwan sighed, but suddenly, she seemed to remember something, and her face The frustrated expression suddenly disappeared, and he leaned over very cunningly, and said quietly:

"Let me tell you a secret, we are going to Cangbi Peak this time!"

"Oh?" Xu Baiyan was stunned. Although he hadn't entered the Dao of Talismans, he knew a lot about Zangbifeng. It was a holy place that all Talisman masters in the world yearned for. Ordinary people didn't even have the chance to step into the mountain gate.

Seeing Xu Baiyan's expression, Xie Qingwan was a little puzzled: "You don't seem to be that surprised."

"Of course I am pleasantly surprised. Sister, you can follow up with Qianmo Mountain. This is naturally a more pleasant surprise."

"It's not about that." She interrupted the other party: "I mean we went to Zangbi Peak this year!"

"So what?"

"So, I might be able to see Lord Peak Master!" As a woman, Xie Qingwan couldn't help but get excited and said, "That's the most beautiful woman in the world! I don't know how to be beautiful?"
