Chapter 14: Teenagers from the Ends of the Earth
After chatting with Chen Wen, the whole city had entered the night, and even on the island, you could see the brightly lit and prosperous scene of the base city. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"The night before Jinling was like this." Xu Zhinian looked at the neon night scene and chuckled, as if confiding in an old friend who had known him for a long time.
"Jinling ......" Chen Wen said with hesitation in his tone, "I've read your information, there shouldn't be anything worth your nostalgia for that place." β
In all fairness, there are many people who are more tragic than Xu Zhinian's fate, but Chen Wen has not met those people, from the perspective of human memory psychology, Chen Wen feels that Xu Zhinian should not have much memory of Jinling.
Xu Zhinian shook his head, wanted to speak and stopped, just looked at the confused urban fascination, and was silent.
"I'm still very weak." After a long time, Xu Zhinian finally spoke.
"But one day, I will go to Kunpeng and ask him to repay all this."
The boy's tone was flat, as if he were recounting an established fact. Seeing such a situation, Chen Wen couldn't help but think of the snowy winter evening after the end of a crusade of the Federation ten years ago.
"Its hatred is like the sea, its depth is like the abyss, and the ambition to eliminate demons is not too late for ten years."
With a long sigh of relief, he got rid of those distracting thoughts, and Chen Wen changed to the style of hanging children on weekdays: "Most of the people in the Spirit Gate want to take revenge on the demon clan, but before that, go to the Four Emperors Hall with me to worship the heroic spirit, and then go to the spirit analysis exam obediently." β
With a slight bow, Xu Zhinian answered softly and left slowly.
Every year, the Federation will have tens of thousands of war orphans because of the demon race, and the hatred of the country and the family is so great, but it is still difficult for humans to achieve results against the demon race for so many years, and its difficulty can be seen in general.
The Four Emperors Hall is located in the middle of the Lingmen Peninsula, originally to commemorate the four ancestors of the Lingmen sect, but since the Crimson Moon, the ashes of all the demon slayers who died in the battle with the demon clan will be placed in the hall, and the Lingmen also has an additional process every year - newcomers such as Xu Zhinian who have just entered the Lingmen need to come here to worship the heroic spirits first, and after so many years, it can be regarded as the latest tradition of the Lingmen.
Xu Zhinian, who left the cafeteria, came to the door of the Four Emperors Hall alone, because this summer worship was only for newcomers, so Chen Wen did not follow.
The time to worship the heroic spirit was set at eight o'clock in the evening, although there were still more than ten minutes before the start, but all the 28 people who had enrolled in advance this summer had already arrived, and Xu Zhinian took this time to look around.
Judging from the color of their hair and skin color, there are 4 blond-haired ethnic minorities, two men and two women, and the rest are all yellow. Seeing this scene, Xu Zhinian couldn't help but secretly smack his tongue, because of the sparse population of ethnic minorities, the federal government has given a lot of policy preferences to ethnic minorities in all aspects, even if it is Lingmen enrollment, there is a certain degree of inclination, after all, the ratio of Han nationality to ethnic minority population is definitely not just that.
"Hey, brother, are you Han?" While Xu Zhinian was pondering, the tall blonde boy walked up to Xu Zhinian and asked in standard federal Chinese.
There are Yamato, Han and Goryeo people with black eyes and black hair in the Federation, and the blonde boy can't be sure for a while, but just said hello tentatively, after all, the racial issue is still relatively sensitive in the Federation.
Xu Zhinian nodded and politely smiled at him.
"Oh my God, brother, you are the first Han person to smile at me since I came to Lingmen!" The moment he saw Xu Zhinian smiling, the blonde boy blurted out in amazement, leaving only Xu Zhinian with an embarrassed expression.
He felt that since he met Chen Wen in Jinling, his luck had not been good, and the unknown ethnic minority sibling in front of him seemed to have the potential to be a bit stunned.
The blonde boy still looked at Xu Zhinian excitedly: "My name is Langton, and I am from England." β
Hearing Langton's words, the corners of Xu Zhinian's mouth opened slightly, saying that the base city of England is rich in gentlemen, but the person in front of him is as heroic and enthusiastic as the Northeast man of the Federation.
"Xu Zhinian." In the same way, he responded by giving his name.
"Oh, Xu, you're a special Han people, they-" As he spoke, Langton glanced at the other Han boys and girls not far away, and deliberately lowered his voice and said, "You only dislike me when you see me, only you are so kind to me. β
"Forehead......" Hearing Langton reveal his heart so sincerely, Xu Zhinian couldn't help but feel ashamed of his previous thoughts for a second, but it was only for a second, after all, different cultures have different cultural environments, and the compatriots of ethnic minorities are so upright. But Langton is also true that the problem of racial discrimination is serious in the Federation. Because Lingmen was born in the Han nationality, and the Han population is the most dense, so the Han people have a contemptuous attitude towards ethnic minorities in their bones, Xu Zhinian studied in Jinling No. 1 Middle School has several ethnic minority students, in comparison, he is just withdrawn, but those ethnic minority students are often bullied.
"Woo......"
The euphemistic and low mourning music sounded, interrupting Xu Zhinian's thoughts. He glanced at his watch on his left hand, and it was only five minutes before the worship began.
"All freshmen, assemble."
A calm voice came, not loud, but with a magic that made people involuntarily execute.
ββ¦β¦ Ji Qiuyuan? β
Seeing the young man above the hall clearly, Xu Zhinian couldn't help but whisper.
"What? Xu, do you know the president? β
Hearing Xu Zhinian's whisper, Langton became more and more excited: "I knew that you were a guy with a background, and even knew the president of the student union." β
"In front of the Four Emperors Palace, no noise!" Without waiting for Xu Zhinian to respond, Ji Qiuyuan in front of the hall stared at Langton indifferently, and in his purple eyes, thunder and lightning faintly floated and sank. Just looked at each other for a moment, Langton was oppressively lowered his head, and Xu Zhinian on the side looked at him and shrugged helplessly, looking like he couldn't help it.
"This is the first and last time to remind you that those who dare to make noise in the Four Emperors Hall will be confined for one year according to the door rules."
The voice was not loud, but it gave people a strong sense of oppression like a gloomy thundercloud, and the yellowish light shone on Ji Qiuyuan's body, but it became more and more indifferent and ruthless.
"Now for the roll call."
"Anlu."
"Here."
"Cao Lie."
"Here."
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Langton Rochester."
"Here."
When reporting here, Xu Zhinian obviously felt that someone next to him seemed a little lacking in breath when he answered.
Ji Qiuyuan in front of the hall was unmoved, and was still calling them one by one.
"Yanagi Cloud Mirror."
Xu Zhinian had already figured out the order in which Ji Qiuyuan signed up, but when he reported to this name, he could feel that Ji Qiuyuan's tone was slightly different.
"Here." A calm female voice sounded, Xu Zhinian followed the voice and looked, and there was a girl with the same black hair and black eyes as him standing not far away.
"Oriental...... Xu Zhinian said in a low voice, the surname Yanagi sounds a lot like Oriental.
The "...... of the Liu Sheng family" is different from Xu Zhinian, and the other people around him were a little surprised when they heard this surname, and they all seemed to know the surname Liu Sheng, but because of Ji Qiuyuan's previous warning, the movement was very small.
The only one who is the same as Xu Zhinian is Langton on the side, this upright compatriot of the English nation may really have a genetic mutation in his opinion, at this time he looked at the girl of the Yanagi family like a pig, and muttered: "The goddess of abstinence......"
When he was in primary school in Jinling, the primary school teacher carried out a profound education on the national identity of the flowers of Xu Zhinian's generation of the Federation for the sake of national unity.
Without paying too much attention to the guy next to him who was smeared by England, Xu Zhinian looked at the Oriental girl with a little curiosity, the unique style of Oriental kimono could not hide her slender figure, but because there were too many people, she couldn't see her face clearly. The most peculiar thing is that the girl is carrying a slender straight-edged Oriental sword behind her back. Even if it is separated by a distance of tens of meters, it still gives people a strong cold aura.
The same iceberg as Ji Qiuyuan and the extraordinary combat power that may exist, so guessing, Xu Zhinian silently gave her such a definition in his heart.
The waves caused by the name Yanagi Cloud Mirror did not last long, and soon, the roll call reached its final stage.
"Xu Zhinian."
"Here."
There was no fluctuation, as if reading out just an ordinary name that could no longer be more ordinary, Ji Qiuyuan closed the roster in his hand.
"When the 28 people arrive, the sacrifice begins."
With Ji Qiuyuan's announcement, the quaint black hall slowly opened, and the dark wooden faΓ§ade made a tooth-squeaking sound, which was even deeper and solemn in the night. The 28 young boys and girls who had just entered the Spirit Gate followed behind Ji Qiuyuan and walked up the stairs step by step.
The hundreds of steps did not take them much time, and soon everyone was already in front of the temple. Just as Xu Zhinian and the others were about to enter the temple to worship, the previous Oriental girl was stopped by the guards guarding the hall.
"In the Four Emperors' Palace, it is forbidden to wear swords."
The two sacrificial Bai Xuan and Huang Yue crossed each other and stopped in front of Liu Sheng Yunjing, blocking Xu Zhinian and the others from the hall.
"That man." The girl from the East lowered her head and slowly raised her head, looking at the palace guards who were about a head taller than her, without the slightest embarrassment and panic, she pointed to Ji Qiuyuan, who had already entered the hall, and said, "Bring it too." β
The sound is crisp and pure, and it sounds very pleasant.
It was only at this time that Xu Zhinian could be regarded as having really seen the appearance of Liu Shengyunjing.
The red and white Oriental kimono is loose and slim, showing the graceful figure of a girl, but it is not as sexy as the blonde people, but has a subtle and subtle beauty. The smooth black hair is tied by pure white hair bundles, and there is no messy shawl, which is clean and neat, and there is a faint heroic spirit. With delicate facial features and a beautiful face, almost all the beauty of Oriental women emerges on the body of an Oriental girl.
If you have to pick a little thorn, Xu Zhinian thinks that such a beautiful girl has nothing to do with such a long Oriental knife on her back is really a bad scenery, and she is a beautiful woman.
"These two guards are right."
Thinking so in his heart, Xu Zhinian still looked at the Liu Sheng Cloud Mirror in front of him, to be honest, the strong dragon did not suppress the ground snake, he wanted to know how this beautiful Oriental compatriot dared to drag it like this.
"Lord Ji Qiuyuan's identity is special, how can you compare." The eldest brother of the guard spoke very truthfully, and he told the truth like this, probably because he wanted the girl in front of him to retreat, after all, everyone has a love for beauty.
However, this guard brother probably watched too much, and his expression skills were not very good, and the words he said meant that the bull's head was not right.
"Is there discrimination in the spiritual gate? Or is it because I'm an Oriental? β
