Chapter 144: Clues
A few days later, the team participating in this year's inter-school exchange arrived as scheduled.
Year after year, the Xingfu Courtyard, which has not changed a little day after day, is also dyed with a rare celebratory color.
The sun was exceptionally bright, and the Yanwu Square in the northwest of the Xingfu Courtyard was crowded with teachers and students watching the excitement.
"Come on! Don't embarrass your boss. Lin Hu, who was beside Yun Xiaotian and hooked up with him, pushed Yun Xiaotian forward and let him walk in the queue of the Lotus Star Mansion Courtyard.
Ai Bingtai, Long Fei'er, Long Yuxuan, Yun Xiaotian, Tuoba Yu'er, Lan Xin, and Bai Xiaochun are the final list of representatives decided by the academy.
The other people's problems are not big, but Bai Xiaochun's selection has caused a lot of criticism, after all, he didn't even go to the end of the special training in the previous six months, which is unconvincing.
But the academy has its own reasons for arranging it like this, even if someone is dissatisfied and the wood is already in the boat, he can only pinch his nose and admit it.
On the high platform, sixteen teams from Taihe Star and Hailian Star left a passage in the middle, standing in rows, with eight teams on the left and right.
In front of them, the dean, who had always been mysterious and Shenlong had not seen the end of the school, delivered a living speech word by word.
In fact, due to his perennial absence and seldom appearance, many students of the Helian Star Mansion Academy, in their ten years of study, have never met their dean, only know that his surname is Feng, his name is in the future, and he is the top master and scholar of the Terran Federation.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that most of the bustling students in the audience came here to join in the fun.
Yun Xiaotian looked up at the dean of the academy, only to see that his face was wrinkled, two white hairs like silver snow were falling, his eyes were kind and kind, and his demeanor was graceful, like a knowledgeable and elegant university scholar.
"All of you, the Taihe Star, we are here, and we feel that we are full of brilliance......"
……
"Young people are always competitive, it is always inevitable, they are the pillars of the future of the human race, everyone gets together or communicates, and competition is the ,......"
……
This inter-school exchange was hosted by the Helen Star Mansion Academy, and the questions of the competition were also given by them.
After the long and boring speech and the declaration that everyone is a family that loves each other, Director Xia Dan, who came to the stage, finally told the rules and topics of this competition.
"Each team will get a note with a clue written for you, all you have to do is to use this clue to find the Blue Crystal Ball of Nightmare in my hand, and the first one to find is the winner of this inter-school exchange."
Director Xia Dan raised the crystal ball implicit in the blue light in his hand and showed it to the contestants from various schools and the audience.
Lin Hu in the audience saw that this thing was extraordinary, but he subconsciously only thought in his heart that this thing must be worth a lot of money.
And Yun Xiaotian saw Director Xia Dan on stage, and she had a plan in her heart, it is estimated that the topic of this competition must have been designed by Director Xia Dan, and she seems to like to play this kind of game very much.
"This competition is held in March, and the venue of the competition is the entire Sea Lotus Star. Brave boys, go on a treasure hunt! Director Xia Dan's rare face was smiling, as if he had finally encountered some fun toys, and he was full of energy.
Obviously, they are all the toys of Director Xia Dan.
Long Fei'er, as the captain of the team of the Helian Star Mansion Academy, was the last to take over the note belonging to their team from Director Xia Dan.
The so-called welcoming ceremony ended.
At this time, the sun is already shining, and the sun is scorching.
That is, communication, not saber-rattling.
Sixteen participating teams, as well as school leaders and teachers, came to the nearby canteen to participate in the welcome banquet.
Yun Xiaotian and these freshmen from other schools, although they had just met, after this meal, it was estimated that they would have to go their separate ways.
This so-called inter-school exchange is really a bit unworthy of the name.
Here, Yun Xiaotian saw Hu Bugui, who represented the Eastern Star Military Academy, and Wu Jianjian, who he hadn't seen for a long time, he represented the Blue Moon Star Mansion.
It can be seen from here that the vision of Xixia Dameng can be described as quite vicious, and any teenager who can persevere under his training will never be mediocre.
It's just that at this time, although they are friends, they are also opponents, except for a simple hello, it is inconvenient to talk more.
Yun Xiaotian, Long Fei'er and others sat around and discussed the clues in their hands.
On the white square piece of paper, a city floating above the white clouds, with the words "Hidden Treasure in the Relics" written on it.
"I'm too young to understand any of this, so I'll listen to you. Haha......" Tuoba Yu'er raised her hand to speak like a good baby, put aside her own involvement, and concentrated on dealing with the food on the plate.
Everyone looked at each other without saying a word, and put their eyes back on the blank paper on the table, each with their own conjectures, but they couldn't do it accurately, waiting for others to say their thoughts first.
Only Bai Xiaochun had no scruples, looked at the others one by one, and said: "It's not the girl in red who is waiting to be married, the ...... who is grinding and grinding, I can say it first, and then eat." ”
"According to Director Xia Dan's consistent urine, this competition is definitely not so simple."
Isn't this nonsense?
Everyone complained in their hearts.
"So with this clue alone, it is definitely impossible to find the bead directly."
"In other words, this clue only points to the next clue, and what we have to do now is to find the next clue through this clue." Long Fei'er followed Bai Xiaochun's meaning and continued.
Bai Xiaochun replied, "That's right. ”
Yun Xiaotian was still speechless in his heart, and after talking for a long time, are you sure that there is any progress?
"This painting on the paper should be where the next clue is, you can think about it and see if there is anything similar to the place in the picture."
"I'm hungry, let's go out for a spin first."
After speaking, Bai Xiaochun felt that he had made his due contribution, and looked around for his lunch in the banquet with a plate with peace of mind.
Seeing this, although there were still some things left in the plate, it did not prevent her from following behind Bai Xiaochun and "adding bricks and tiles" to the plate.
Long Fei'er, as the captain, encouraged: "Don't hide it, let's speak one by one." ”
"Let me say first, on this piece of paper, there are two clues, one is the city on the clouds, and the other is the four words 'Treasure in the Lost Land', these two must be related, either we need to find the place on the picture through these four words, or we first find the place on the picture, and then these four words will play a role and guide us to find the next clue."
What Long Fei'er said was reasonable, and Yun Xiaotian probably thought the same thing in her heart, and nodded in agreement.
"'Treasure in the Lost Land'? The so-called 'treasure' may be the next clue we need, and the city above the white clouds in the picture is where this clue is located, is this place a 'relic land', that is, a ruin or secret realm similar to a pre-civilization? Ai Bingtai also made his own inference.
Yun Xiaotian stared at Ai Bingtai, watching her talk eloquently, and felt as if he didn't know her for a while.
He had the impression that she had never said so many words in one breath.
I don't know why, as soon as Ai Bingtai finished speaking, he continued to speak: "I think the first clue shouldn't be so complicated!" According to my understanding of Teacher Xia Dan, she is so busy every day, with sixteen teams and sixteen clues, she can't spend so much effort to make it so complicated. ”
"So, the first clue shouldn't involve 'pre-civilization', right?"
Before Yun Xiaotian finished speaking, although Ai Bingtai couldn't see his anger, he asked lightly, "Are you sure?" ”
Yun Xiaotian could hear from her tone that you were dissatisfied, but it was not so easy to succumb to this, and replied firmly: "Don't dare, I just said it casually, and I think it is unlikely that it will involve 'pre-civilization'." ”
The two of them were quite a little needle-pointed, Long Fei'er knew that they seemed to have something to do with each other during the entrance test before, so she said loudly: "Qingxin, Xiaotian, you all don't say a word, everyone will talk about things, there is no need to be angry." ”
"Humph......!" Ai Bingtai stared at Yun Xiaotian with an unkind expression.
Yun Xiaotian knew that he seemed to be the first to provoke the other party, and he felt a little guilty in his heart, but he refused to admit defeat, and met Ai Bingtai's gaze, big eyes to small eyes.
The two of them were tense, and in an instant, they lost their minds again, and they were in a trance, as if they had returned to the scene when they were in Tulin Village.
Lan Xin and Long Yuxuan, who were watching the play on the side, always thought that the two were not very familiar with each other, and it was even more difficult to imagine that Ai Bingtai, who had always seemed to care about everything, would be so angry with people, and couldn't help but feel surprised, honestly being a melon-eating crowd who didn't know the truth.
At this moment, a voice broke the embarrassment in the field.
"It's you, no wonder I always feel so familiar, why did you come here?" A burly and handsome man walked over and said to Ai Bingtai.
Ai Bingtai obviously didn't expect this man's sudden intrusion, and was a little panicked, but quickly regained his look, and said coldly: "I'm sorry, we don't seem to know each other, right?" ”
"You're not...... Mugwort......? The man was a little puzzled, as if he really thought that he had recognized the wrong person, and after he finished speaking, he was glared at by Ai Bingtai's eyes, secretly warned, and hurriedly swallowed back the words that had not yet been spoken.
This man seemed to really know Ai Bingtai, and he didn't know what means to use, but he saw her disguise, and quickly reacted that she was deliberately hiding her identity.
"Hey......, long time no see, let's go talk about it?" The man said with a smile as if he knew some secret.
With the handle in hand, Ai Bingtai had no choice but to succumb, and by the way, he warned this guy on the side, don't do too much, and say something that shouldn't be said.
Ai Bingtai left unexpectedly, interrupting their discussion, and Long Fei'er said loudly: "Let's eat something first?" ”
Lan Xin and Long Yuxuan were relieved, they had been waiting for this moment for a long time, they were not as young as Tuoba Yu'er, and they did not have Bai Xiaochun's cheekiness, although their stomachs were drumming all the time, Fang Cai still endured it all the time.
"What about you? Not hungry? Seeing that Yun Xiaotian didn't move for a long time, Long Fei'er asked casually.
"Hungry ......, hungry ......!"
Yun Xiaotian seemed to be startled, and hurriedly stood up, chasing after Lan Xin and Long Yuxuan in a daze.
Long Fei'er looked at Ai Bingtai and the blonde man who were talking, took a long breath, shook her head and smiled bitterly.
……
After several tables, Bai Xiaochun and Tuoba Yu'er had already found a new base and sat down.
The two of them had been secretly looking at Yun Xiaotian and the others.
"I bet with you, Yun Xiaotian, this kid, nine out of nine likes that pretending to be cold." Bai Xiaochun squinted her small eyes and said to Tuoba Yu'er opposite.
Although Tuoba Yu'er was young, she probably knew a little bit about this kind of thing, her eyes widened, and she said in surprise: "Really? ”
Bai Xiaochun patted his stomach, feeling a little lonely and invincible in the world, and said leisurely: "Then do you need to talk about it?" Even if he didn't know about his thoughts, he couldn't escape my eyes. ”
Tuoba Yu'er's bright eyes blinked, and asked curiously: "Small eyes, are they fiery eyes?" ”
Bai Xiaochun gasped and almost choked to death.
