Chapter 3 Make up your mind

It wasn't until the fluffy little guy flew into the air and did a standard gymnastic spin of three hundred and six that Jiang Chen still didn't have time to close his jaw.

My.

Seeing that Jiang Chen's eyes were about to fall out of his sockets, Xia Mai stretched out his hand and shook it twice in front of his eyes, and then laughed out loud.

If you want to vividly describe Jiang Chen's current feelings, then I am afraid that the three views were brutally knocked to pieces by the vision, and then crushed by the surrealist phenomenon, and finally there was a strong wind of objective idealism, which blew that bit of powder and scattered it to the end of the world, and there was no going back.

Seeing that the Rui Beast, which only appeared in myths and legends, was performing a square dance with the most dazzling national style drum beat, the movement was no less difficult than the Olympic free gymnastics, and the conversations of several classmates kept coming to my ears:

"Teacher Zhao really deserves to be a figure with a face in the circle of royal beasts, so no one can do it except her when it comes to square dancing with a unicorn. ”

"It's not, I've always heard that Senior Zhao also has a Divine Beast Square Dance Troupe, I thought it was all rumors, and now it doesn't seem to be groundless......"

"This is a terrible thing......"

......

After a song, the little guy rubbed in front of Aunt Zhao, opened his mouth wide and shook his head and waited for the reward. Seeing this, several students present couldn't help but stretch their necks.

You know, it is very rare to observe the beasts eating at close range, and the legend says that these rare beasts only eat unpicked natural treasures and drink the fresh flowing jade dew fairy wind, and the food that feeds the beasts has always been the private formula of each beast trainer, and usually does not let others understand at will, which is why the domestication cost of rare beasts is terrifyingly high, making it out of reach of ordinary people.

Aunt Zhao was also unambiguous, and took out an oiled paper bag from her bag. The familiar fragrance came out, and the familiar five small words on the paper bag, "Hao Xiao Xiao Chicken Chop", seemed to be a muffled thunder, completely slashing a room of classmates. Not to mention the legendary cold and unapproachable baby unicorn like a pug, holding a chicken steak in his mouth.

This can also be done??

"The fake unicorn raised by Senior Zhao......" someone muttered quietly and closed his mouth again.

At this moment, the entire auditorium conveyed a very subtle atmosphere, and the sudden quiet air made Jiang Chen's mind slowly calm down. It was also thanks to his ignorance of the shock of what was happening in front of him, otherwise he would have dislocated his jaw.

He pinched his thighs hard.

Hiss...... It hurts.

"That's all for my presentation, thank you for watching, I hope you haven't disappointed. Aunt Zhao smiled kindly: "Then, don't delay Teacher Lei's time, let's see you in class in the future!"

There is no need for the principal to introduce her, nodding at Aunt Zhao, the old man in the audience has already taken the stage by himself.

Jiang Chen had already eased up, and was pulling Xia Mai and whispering, "What the hell is going on?"

Xia Mai seemed to think that his reaction was very interesting, and his eyes were bent, shiny, like a mischievous child who had succeeded in prank. The corners of her mouth curled into a mischievous arc, she stretched out her hand to point to the podium, and said in a brisk voice: "Keep watching!"

I never knew that Xia Mai still had such a delicate and lovely side of a girl, Jiang Chen was a little stunned for a while, and even forgot to ask, and looked at the stage with the girl's hand.

And the uncle on the stage has already stood still, only to see the white hair like a dragon's beard, the long eyebrows like a weeping willow, the spirit is strong, and the face is like a knife. The best thing is that the uncle wears a short coat with shoulders, straw sandals and a hand-cranked fan, and a disc sunglasses on his face, which is completely cynical and cool.

With a wave of his fan, two children with their hair in the audience rushed up carrying a bamboo chaise longue. Hands and feet quickly put the old man's buttocks, but the old man didn't reply, and sat down. The whole person leaned back. Miraculously, his person did not touch the chair, but instead floated in the air in the shape of the chair, as if he was leaning on an invisible cushion. As the chair shook for a while, pointing to the stage with a fan in his hand, the old man squinted his eyes for a moment, and then his voice resounded throughout the auditorium:

"I, Second Master Lei!"

"Collecting medicine and alchemy!"

"You want to learn from me!"

Then, he waved his fan to the two children: "Hair!"

The two little ones immediately took out a large basket out of nowhere, which contained a large basket of yellow-brown short sticks about the thickness of an adult man's thumb and the length of his palm. Each of the students in the audience got about a handful, and they were piled up in front of them like a small mountain.

After that, they even handed out a paper bag to everyone, and chanted: "Teachers have clouds, and it is the responsibility of people and immortals to protect the environment." ”

Jiang Chen sat in front of him, and it was sent to his hand early in the morning, so he took one and gently put it under his nose to smell it, and asked Xia Mai in a low voice: "It seems to be wormwood?"

The old man on the stage didn't know if he had a pair of tailwind ears, and he seemed to hear Jiang Chen's words, and immediately looked unhappy, pointed at Jiang Chen with a fan and said, "Whose doll is so ignorant!

Immediately, he twisted his head, snorted fiercely, and never looked at Jiang Chen again. I was angry.

On the contrary, one of the little boys said with a crisp smile while distributing the remaining herbs: "Back to this gentleman's words, each of these warm moxibustion sticks is refined by my disciples who have transformed 99 earth spirit seeds and synthesized 60 kinds of immortal grasses, which has a miraculous effect on muscle and bone pain." ”

Another child continued: "The master said, it's not an uncommon thing, give it to everyone to play with, smoke mosquitoes or something." ”

This tone, no matter how it sounds, is like that of a full-fledged nouveau riche sitting in the bathroom with pure gold wallpaper and a pure gold toilet and sighing: "Hey, it's not a valuable thing, it's just gold." ”

Jiang Chen's heart was full of 10,000 alpacas: here and again, every word could be understood, and together they didn't know what it meant. And Xia Mai, who was beside him, seemed to have a very solemn face when he heard this, and he took out a white handkerchief out of nowhere, carefully wrapped the few warm moxibustion sticks, and put them back in the paper bag. Turning to look at the other classmates, the movements were as good as the same.

Seeing that he was still stunned, Xia Mai said to him: "You put these things away first, and I'll talk to you slowly when it's over." ”

Without waiting for him to react, the girl directly helped him wrap it up and put it away.

At this time, the two children were also distributed, and the old man on the stage rolled his eyes, stood up, and roared: "Let's go!" and nodded to the principal and Aunt Zhao, and walked away like this.

Two little boys ran behind them with chairs in their hands.

Principal Wang Tietie respectfully watched the back of Second Master Lei out of the auditorium door, and then stepped onto the podium again: "Thank you Teacher Zhao and Teacher Lei for their wonderful course demonstrations, I believe that the students must be full of expectations for future courses." ”

Jiang Chen rolled his eyes inwardly. What to expect, he is now full of explosive three views and fear of the unknown world. I always feel as if I have mixed in into a place where I shouldn't go, and I have seen things that I shouldn't see, and I don't know if I will be killed and thrown into the wilderness once I am discovered.

"Next, I will hand over the podium to the students, I don't know if any students are willing to come on stage to introduce themselves to everyone, so that everyone can get to know each other. Students can express themselves enthusiastically, after all, they are all Taoist friends who may practice side by side in the future. Wang Tietie rubbed his hands and looked at the audience, looking urgent. It's like an elder who goes to the house of relatives and friends to fool the children out to perform on New Year's Day.

There was a fat man sitting in the middle of the first row, and he was very cooperative and raised his hand very enthusiastically: "I'll come first!"

So the student walked onto the podium with President Wang's face relieved.

This is a fat man who grows horizontally, and the meat is not only delicious, but also unusually white and tender. This boy is about 1.7 meters long, very awkwardly wearing a French suit, and even combing the same style of Yuan Kewen's son's middle oil head. On this hot day, Jiang Chen felt that he could see the beads of sweat on his head.

Xia Mai explained to him in a whisper: "The self-introduction is actually to let the students report to their families, so that everyone can understand each other's professional backgrounds and spiritual demands as soon as possible. After all, in the subsequent learning process, basically everyone will look for a Taoist partner, and the school hopes that the fertilizer water will not flow into the fields of outsiders. Of course, if you don't want to say it, you won't force it."

What kind of cultivation appeal, professional background, what kind of Taoist Jiang Chen didn't understand, only understood the last sentence. He knew that it was Xia Mai who was explaining to him, and let him know that he didn't have to participate in this link.

He breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't plan to participate, thinking that if he had to play, he would simply pee. Who knows if he will say something that he has leaked and will die in the end. - Until now, Jiang Chen still firmly believes that his arrival is just a misunderstanding. He has already thought about it, and when today's dream is over, he will immediately go home and sleep, and forget all these people who came out of online novels, including Xia Mai.

"Hello everyone, my name is Sun Qian, Qiankun's Qian. My mother is a half-immortal in the Northeast, and her ancestors have worshiped the black mother. The fat man on the stage spoke: "In recent years, our branch has gradually declined. This time, I was able to apply for a place in the 13th Middle School, and I had the opportunity to meet the teachers of Boyang College, and my whole village was very excited, and my mother said that I was the hope for the future of our whole village......"

Jiang Chen seemed to see him take out a handkerchief from his pocket, as if he pressed the corner of his eye.

"In short, if there is anything I can help in the future, everyone will say that I have no other advantages, that is, I have a bright temperament. It's all trivial to get rid of a little ghost or something!"

Somehow, Jiang Chen felt a cool wind blowing on his back......

The next person who took the initiative to take the stage was a small boy with a beautiful face. It's just that his hair is shaved and lean, and people are really worried about whether a gust of wind will blow him away. He seemed a little shy standing on the stage, and said simply: "My name is Guan Yang, and I am a disciple of the Wenshi School. It's a pleasure to meet you all. After that, he ran off the stage.

But it was these two simple sentences that made some people in the audience commotion a little. A black boy sitting in the back rows simply shouted directly: "Aren't the Wen Shi faction all masters outside the world, what are you doing here!"

This man was swarthy and extremely strong, with curly hair braided on his head and tied behind his head, wearing a mesh vest, and two muscles in his chest trembled as he spoke, as if he was about to burst out of his clothes.

The skinny boy was so shrunk in his chair when he heard this, and his ears were red and bleeding from behind.

Immediately, I heard someone in the corner laughing: "It is said that the people of the Meng clan only seek to practice their bodies, and they are brave and not strategic, and they really only go out with muscles and no brains." ”

"You!!" the strong man surnamed Meng was about to get up from his chair, as if he didn't want to fight with the person in the corner and swore not to give up.

"Meng Biao, don't be impatient. Wang Tietie on the stage was still amiable, and even his tone was very gentle. And when the sturdy boy named Meng Biao heard this, it was like a rabbit seeing an eagle, and the whole person sat back on the chair in a cowardly manner.

It seems to be a very complicated interpersonal relationship, Jiang Chen slandered. Then he noticed that the man talking in the corner was a boy with glasses, sitting right behind him. This person was still wearing a junior high school uniform, which showed that he and Jiang Chen were alumni of the same school. Looking around again, Jiang Chen couldn't help but ponder:

When he and Xia Mai first entered the auditorium, there were eight students seated in the auditorium, including them. They sat in the corner of the third row on either side of the door, facing the only open door in the auditorium. And at that time, there was no one in front of them, left and right. But before Mr. Zhao's teaching demonstration, he counted the number of people again, and since then, the number has become nine. That is, there was a person who entered the auditorium after them, and this person was sitting behind them.

But from the beginning to the end, he didn't realize that there was an extra person behind him...... Wait a minute...... Obviously, I took a special look at it just now, and I can't remember the appearance of the person behind me at this time. He subconsciously looked back and looked again, only to find the boy behind him...... It's gone.

Except for him, no one in the auditorium seemed to notice that there was no one missing, Principal Wang was still enthusiastically encouraging the rest of the students to introduce themselves on stage, and Xia Mai also stared at the stage very intently, as if everyone had forgotten the little episode just now for a moment.

Today, he encountered more strange things in one day than Jiang Chen had encountered in the past sixteen years of his life combined. His whole body was a little numb from the shock. In the end, he decided to shut up, stop thinking, mix up this difficult time full of 100,000 whys, never have the slightest relationship with these troubles, and finally go home to forget all about it and return to his innocent and beautiful materialistic life.

After that, only one student came to the stage to introduce himself. Jiang Chen sat on the chair, and the old monk settled in and out of his left ear, but he didn't take another look at the stage. He had a clear mirror in his heart: since he had to forget sooner or later, it was better to watch less and listen less, so as not to get into trouble.

At this point, the introduction of students has come to an end. The principal said some more words, and finally reiterated the registration time, and then announced the official end of the information session. With a burst of applause, the students in the seats walked out of the auditorium one after another. It wasn't until the moment he walked out of the school gate that Jiang Chen completely exhaled:

Neither was he detained by a pyramid scheme, nor was he arrested and questioned by strange people, and it seems that today's whimsical experience can finally come to an end.

......

The two walked one after the other, and there were no pedestrians on the road, only the monotonous sound of the branches and leaves of the street swaying in the wind and the chirping of cicadas. Speechless all the way. Jiang Chen's eyes stared at Xia Mai who was walking in front, shaking his horsetail to reveal the sparkling sweat on the back of his neck, but he was thinking about how to express his thoughts in his heart. This calmness and digestion slowly made him form a very unacceptable conclusion in his heart: supernatural abilities, or immortal cultivation, may be real.

However, he is a realistic and monotonous person, regardless of whether the admission notice sent to him is accidental or not, the complex situation reflected in a small lecture alone makes him have to think about the danger and darkness that may exist behind the seemingly mysterious and tempting "path to cultivating immortals", although he wants to ask everything clearly, but he knows better than anyone else the truth that curiosity kills cats.

In the end, I made a decision: don't go on this troubled water anyway. After all, he is just a layman who dreams of studying hard and working hard to become a CEO, winning Bai Fumei, giving birth to two children, aging safely, and having children and grandchildren around his knees.

At the zebra crossing under the flashing red light, Xia Mai stopped and looked at Jiang Chen: "I know you have a lot of questions to ask......

"Today's briefing was wonderful. Jiang Chen tugged at the corners of his mouth and interrupted her: "But I'm sorry, I think all this is a misunderstanding." ”

Xia Mai looked up at him fixedly for a moment, his expression slightly serious: "Jiang Chen, I think you may not be very clear about the situation. ”

"Yes, but I don't want to know more either. ”

Hearing his answer, Xia Mai seemed to sigh softly, took out a paper and pen from his bag, and wrote a few lines: "This is my contact information and address, if you change your mind or need help, contact me again." ”

Jiang Chen didn't reach out to take it, but still smiled politely and said, "I don't think I will change my mind." ”

Looking at him again for a while, it seemed that he was a little deflated, Xia Mai helplessly hooked the corners of his mouth, rolled the paper into a ball, and threw it into the trash can on the side of the road: "Okay, whatever you want." After that, he shook his head, took a few steps forward, stopped a taxi, and disappeared from Jiang Chen's sight.

......

It's night.

Jiang Chen lost sleep again.

He was in a big shape on the bed, his eyes fixed on the ceiling, and he didn't feel sleepy.

For nearly ten hours after returning home from the 13th Middle School, he tried to watch TV, play games, read novels, play sports, etc., but no matter what he did, he could not take what he saw and heard during the day out of his mind. It's no wonder it's all too much to believe.

I don't know how long he lay like this, but he seemed to suddenly remember something, slowly got up from the bed, and walked to the living room again. There were no lights in the living room, only the faint light in the bedroom. The delivery he received yesterday was still quietly scattered on the cold coffee table, and he hadn't even taken a good look at something. But...... Shaking his head, these are meaningless, since he has decided something, he can no longer give himself a chance to regret it, he has always been a very strict self-denial person, he simply put things together, never looked at them again, and directly put them in the file bag and stuffed them into the trash.

At this time, Jiang Chen didn't realize that there was a very small flame, and there was an incomparably faint obsession that was gently aroused in his heart, like a seed accidentally falling into the soil, and it was about to start sprouting secretly.

He took out his mobile phone, opened the chat group of "Human Events", and when he swiped up to look at the chat history, his finger involuntarily paused on a message:

Book Keeper: Do you believe in the existence of supernatural human beings?

Vodka with apples: why ask?

Bookkeeper: It all starts with a well-known unsolved case.
