Rune

Chapter 74 Thank you
Xu Baiyan carefully considered the words he used. He didn't use the words [correct] or [suitable] because he didn't know the way of talisman, but he used the word [good-looking].

Because it does look better that way.

He looked at the handwriting he had revised on the table, and the more he looked at it, the more he found it pleasing to the eye, so much so that the depression in his heart dissipated a lot.

So he smiled, and then, he suddenly realized that it had been a long time since he came out, and this place should be a practice place specially prepared for the students of the Fuyuan. He is not a student of the Fuyuan, so it seems that he should not come in casually.

At this point in his thoughts, Xu Baiyan took one last look at the runes on the table and the big ghost beside him, sighed at the Creator's strange aesthetics, turned around, and walked out of the basement.

Beside the Fuyuan Book Building, there is an inaccessible alley. Beside the alley, there is an alley. Because it is a dead end, no one pays special attention to it.

No one will know that there is actually a rune on the wall at the end of the alley, as long as the wearer carries the corresponding rune, he can temporarily pass through the wall.

On the other side of the wall is a small room.

It is spacious and clean, but not high, only one floor, so surrounded by surrounding buildings, no one will notice it.

About two months ago, three people lived in this small house.

A lowly and feminine servant, a dead-faced but cute maid, and a thin, short scholar.

The scholar does not attend classes, and has never seen any teachers in the school. Even the exam is just out of interest, and he took a subject [Shushu]. During these two months, he has been staying in this room, only occasionally In the dead of night, go to the library of Fuyuan, read books, write talismans, and play with that big ghost.

"Master, your tea." Mr. Gao, who has excellent skin and no beard, has already given up his previous rich businessman's attire and put on an extremely inconspicuous servant's attire. The tea was placed in front of the boy.

The boy didn't make a sound, just nodded his head slightly, picked up the tea, and took a sip indifferently.

During this period of time, the young man had to drink a cup of strong tea every night, and sometimes even yelled a few pieces of dried tea leaves in his mouth, and then in the dead of night, he walked into the library of Fu Yuan and stayed there until the next day Morning.

Seeing his young master getting tired day by day, Mr. Gao also showed embarrassment: "Master, is it a bit wrong to be upside down like this day and night? Although people outside vaguely know that you have entered Chaodu Academy, there is no need for us to hide your identity." How can your body bear it if you always lie down at night and come out at night.”

The boy behind the long table put down the letters in his hand and was silent for a moment.

He clearly knew that he didn't turn upside down day and night to hide his identity, it was clearly because if he didn't exhaust his energy to the moment of exhaustion, he couldn't fall asleep at all.

The young man raised his pale face, smiled and said, "It's okay, you know that even if I lie on the bed right now, it won't help, why don't you use this time."

While speaking, the young man threw the letters in his hand into the fireplace behind him, watching those pages being devoured by the flames.
In these secret letters, it is recorded that the forces of all parties have sent people to the capital.

Including officials from various counties and counties, military liaisons, some giant businessmen, etc., and even a letter clearly pointed out that there are already people lurking somewhere in the capital of the North Xinjiang, but they haven't been found out yet. Who is it.

But all parties gathered here, but the Bai family was missing.

I don't know why the old man who killed gods and slaughtered ghosts has been standing still, so the boy has been unable to eat well and sleep well.

"How is father's health?" Looking at the burned letters, the boy suddenly asked for no reason.

Mr. Gao seemed to bend his body even more humbly: "No more stress."

No aggravation is not necessarily good news, because it means that it has not improved.

"How long can it last?"

Master Gao didn't make a sound, his body remained motionless, as if he didn't dare to answer the words.

The boy looked at the flames in the furnace: "It's just the two of us here, what else can you say?"

Master Gao continued to be silent for a while, but finally he whispered: "I heard from the doctor in the imperial city. Maybe it won't be next year."

A piece of wood in the furnace could not withstand the flames, and made a light cracking sound.

"It seems that the old man also knows that his fate is approaching." The young man muttered to himself, but he didn't care about the person standing beside him with such rebellious words: "The news that I will enter the school was announced four years ago." People spread the word, and nine out of ten he released it himself. Hehe, that’s right, before I die, I always have to take a last look at how many catties and taels I have hidden.”

With that said, the boy got up, changed into his school uniform, and prepared to go out.

Master Gao naturally knew that the young master was going to the library again, so he said, "I'll call Miss Dodo."

In fact, a man who looks like a housekeeper and servant calls a maid 'Miss', which sounds a little strange, but the relationship between the three people in this room is strange, so no one cares about what they call each other.

After all, this is not the imperial city.
On the street, in the dead of night, Dodo followed the boy out of the alley, across the short street, into the library, and then came to the door hidden by the talisman.

just about to push away
"Huh?" Dodo was stunned for a moment.

"What's wrong?" the boy asked.

Dodo looked at the spell on the door: "It seems that someone touched it again."

The young man frowned. This door is located in the most secret corner of the library, and there is a talisman as a barrier. It stands to reason that it shouldn't be touched so frequently.
However, he has great trust in the talisman written by Dodo, because the little girl's weird feelings for talismans can make the talismans she writes insight into human nature. It can be seen by the person who wrote the talisman in an instant.

Thinking of this, the boy smiled.

It wasn't that he didn't have a sense of crisis, but that he had absolute trust in the little girl standing beside him. Unless he threw a big ghost in front of him, otherwise, even a whole team of assassins would be useless.

Therefore, the boy directly opened the door and walked into the long steps.

He will continue to write characters tonight.

Write the talisman of fighting ghosts.

Of course, with his identity, it is naturally impossible to manipulate ghosts to fight those terrifying creatures in the south, but with human flesh and blood, he is able to manipulate such a huge life and make it submit to himself. It's a kind of thing that tempers the mind, so during countless sleepless nights, the boy fell in love with the feeling of writing talismans.

If at some point in the future, I can really sit on that huge chair, then I will definitely miss every handwriting I wrote today.

Soon, the boy passed through the long steps and walked into the basement, while Dodo stood guard at the door as usual.

The room is surrounded by a cool breeze, so it doesn't feel stuffy. In this space where there is only a dead ghost and himself, the young man relaxed wonderfully. He walked to the long table, picked up the pen, and was about to Ready to continue writing that talisman.

But suddenly, his pupils shrank suddenly.

Because he suddenly realized that yesterday the pen was obviously placed on the left side of the pen holder, but at this time, he picked it up from the right side!
The boy became vigilant in an instant, and scanned his surroundings as fast as he could.

Although he was vigilant, he was not too flustered, because if someone had entered here, at least someone with malicious intentions, then the spell should have been sensed long ago.

"What's going on?" He was very puzzled, and at the same time, his eyes suddenly noticed something.

Squinting his eyes, he was surprised to see a stroke and a line of small characters on the table in front of him.

[Would it look better to write this way? 】

"???"

The young man looked at this line of words, a little dazed, and felt a little absurd, and a little nonsensical and ridiculous.

That is to say, in the past few hours, a person entered the basement, stood in front of the table, and then changed my talisman?

Who can come in at will?

How can anyone be so boring?

Looking at that stroke again, his brows frowned even more, because he found that if the last stroke of the spell was really written like this, it would indeed look much better.

"What do you mean, is this educating me?" He thought for no reason.

In his opinion, this kind of behavior is extremely disrespectful, and he should have been annoyed, but that stroke really looks better the more you look at it, and the more pleasing it looks, it seems that if you change it, you can make the whole talisman Like going up a notch.

After thinking about it in every possible way, the boy took a pen and carefully revised his talisman according to the handwriting on the table.

"It's really a lot better."

he murmured.

But it is still very displeased, after all, this is a forbidden area, so who can come in through the talisman at the door at will, and after entering, point and point at his talisman very impolitely.

The more the boy thought about it, the more angry he became, and finally he took the pen and wrote under the small characters with a sense of arrogance.
"thanks."

Then, he walked out of the basement.

All the way back to the hut behind the alley.

Since someone was able to enter the ground without a sound, it was naturally impossible for the young man to stay there any longer.

"Uncle Gao, someone has gone in under the library. Check it out for me."
