Chapter 7 The second floor of the college

Looking at the old man in front of him, Fan Hu unconsciously clenched his fists, although he was expressionless, the blood in his body was boiling. The person in front of her is the onmyoji who fought with Xiuyuan in the memory of the Snow Maiden. Just because of the years. The original sharpness and slaughter are gone. Instead, a kind smile.

"My name is Long Lei, the dean of the second floor of the Contemporary Academy. The old man explained, "You entered the Misty Forest just now to test whether you are a qualified Onmyoji. It started out to test whether you could still remember the onmyoji's rules when you were humiliated. The next demon is made in the image of your fantasy, in order to see if you can protect ordinary people. As for the final test, it is to see if you, as an onmyoji, will have compassion for the demon, but for some reason, your mood swings are so great at the beginning of this scene that we can't see clearly, but I can feel the killing intent in it, and it is clear that you are qualified. ”

After listening to Long Lei's words, Fan Hu knew that what he had just experienced was a dream, and that killing intent was not Snow Girl but Zhiyu......

"But I'm curious, you are a student on the first floor of the academy, it must have been a blood test, but we haven't found out that you have the potential to become an onmyoji, so who is the master who taught you to become an onmyoji. ”

The Heaven Deception Pattern Array, which the entire academy had not been able to crack, was cracked by Mo Dao, and Fan Hu admired his teacher even more, but thinking of his emphasis on not revealing his existence to others, Fan Hu kept silent. Seeing this, Long Lei snorted coldly, and the kind smile on his face suddenly returned to him again, and a cold light shot out of his eyes, Fan Hu felt that in addition to his legs trembling, even his soul felt uneasy, and only then could he clearly understand the sense of oppression that Snow Girl felt back then. Under pressure, the word "Mo Dao" almost blurted out. But Fan Hu bit his lip until he bleed, and held on with pain.

Seeing that Fan Hu was insisting, Long Lei stopped asking. The sword-sharp aura vanished, and a kind smile returned to his face. At this time, Fan Hu felt a burst of relief, gasping for breath.

"Well, there are many great onmyoji in the mountains and wilderness, and since they don't want to reveal their identities, it's inconvenient for me to force you. After passing the test of the second floor, you are qualified to come and learn about it. After speaking, he led Fan Hu forward.

Although it is a two-story building, it is like a separate world, and the courtyard is full of flowers and plants, and there are people practicing yin and yang on top of it. Along the gravel road of the courtyard, Long Lei led Fan Hu to a small wooden house, which was very simple, except for a plaque hanging above it, engraved with the words "Yin Yang Lu".

Long Lei looked at the plaque and had some remembrance: "In the Yin-Yang Record, you must not blaspheme in your heart, you must experience everyone in it with a heart of awe." They are all the most dazzling onmyoji of all eras. ”

Opening the Yin-Yang Record, the wooden door seemed to be unable to withstand it and made a "crunch, crunch" sound. Fan Hu walked in and saw that the walls were full of paintings, and the people in the paintings were different, some were laughing, some were sad, some were fresh and refined, and some were with big eyes, or solemn, or sneering. Although there are 100 faces in 100 portraits, all of them are wearing coats engraved with the words 'yin and yang'. The portrait in the middle is clearly framed. The person in the painting is a young man, with delicate facial features, long black hair draped over his shoulders, eyebrows like willows, body like a tree, and skin condensed. Holding the jade flute with both hands and lightly placing it to his lips, it seemed that the sound of the flute was glorious, and the young man's eyes showed a touch of sadness that could not be removed, sad and ethereal, with a fluttering robe and a widening belt like an immortal. Fan Hu is no stranger to the person in this painting, he is Mo Dao who taught himself Yin and Yang for a year.

Seeing Fan Hu staring at Mo Dao's portrait, Long Lei bowed respectfully to the portrait: "The name of the person in the painting is Mo Dao, he is the head of the previous generation of the academy, he is not only the most talented onmyoji but also the greatest onmyoji, but it is a pity that he faded out of the human world in order to protect him in his youth. ”

"The teacher turned out to be the head of the previous generation of the academy, what is that to protect?Why does he look so young now?" Although Fan Hu had countless questions in his heart, in order not to expose his teacher, Fan Hu glanced to the side, his eyes flickered, and suddenly noticed something placed in the dark corner on the side, Fan Hu walked over, only to know that it was an ununfolded picture. The scroll was covered with dust, and it could be seen that few people had cleaned it up, so Fan Hu gently brushed the dust off the scroll, unfolded the scroll, and gazed carefully. I saw that in the painting is a young man riding a white horse, although the young man is not ugly, but it is extremely ordinary, but the white horse under the crotch is extremely miraculous, looking up to the sky and roaring, quite a declaration of war to seize the master. Only when you look at the scroll carefully can you notice that the young man is dressed in a snow-colored robe, and a black long sword is carried on his straight back.

It's so familiar, this is Fan Lake's first feeling. Where have you seen it?

Seeing that Fan Hu turned over the picture scroll, Long Lei was a little conflicted: "His name is Xiuyuan." ”

"Is he Xiuyuan? Is this the person that the Snow Girl has been pursuing all her life? It's just why does he appear in the Yin-Yang Record?" "In the memory of the Snow Girl, during that war, Long Lei said that Xiuyuan was a betrayal of the Onmyoji and an enemy of the world, but now his portrait is actually placed in the Yin-Yang Record, even if the picture scroll is covered with dust, what happened in that battle.

Long Lei's expression was a little contradictory: "You should know that the Yin-Yang Technique uses the power of nature to fight the enemy, but the Onmyoji itself is very fragile, no different from ordinary people. But Xiuyuan changed this, he has a demon-like physique, relying on only a long sword, he created 'one sword to break ten thousand methods', no matter who the enemy is, he is a sword to break the enemy. ”

"Is he strong, then?"

Long Lei thought for a long time, and was a little bitter: "I'm not as good as him." ”

Fan Hu wanted to ask something, but Long Lei shook his head, obviously not wanting to say more. Seeing that Long Lei was like this, Fan Hu couldn't ask more, so he followed Long Lei out of this Yin and Yang record.

Fan Hu was a little disappointed that he didn't get the answers he wanted, but he deepened his belief that he was going to find them.

Circling around, Long Lei led Fan Hu to a small black house, which was made of black iron, dense and impermeable. "This iron house is called 'Qi Si Retreat', and all those who violate the precepts of Onmyoji will be imprisoned in this house for reflection. Whoever violates the precepts of Onmyoji, even to the ends of the earth, I will arrest him for trial. At this moment, Fan Hu really felt a trace of coldness, this is not a joke!

"Teacher. Just when Fan Hu felt uncomfortable, a voice came. The person who came was Liu Kan.

Long Lei patted Liu Kan on the shoulder and said, "You have been studying in the academy for 3 years. The world is big, you should go out and walk. It will help you to feel more. ”

Hearing Long Lei's words, Fan Hu thought in his heart: "It's been a year, and I have made some achievements in yin and yang arts, so I should also go to find the memory of the Snow Maiden." So Fan Shang interjected: "I want to go out with Senior Brother Liu Kan." ”

"You?" Long Lei glanced at Fan Hu.

"I came up with the idea of removing demons to protect more people. Fan Hu made up a reason and said with a serious face.

Long Lei's eyes were sharp, as if he wanted to see everything clearly, and Fan Hu was nervous for a while, afraid of being seen through. It's just that Long Lei didn't delve into it: "Well, since you are sincere in eliminating demons, then let it be." Liu Kan, you have to protect him well when you're outside. ”

"Yes. Liu Kan respectfully agreed.

"I'll go back and explain it on the first floor, you can go with confidence!" After saying that, he waved his hand and let Liu Kan and Fan Hu leave.

Leaving the second floor of the academy, Liu Kan went straight to the back mountain, and soon he ran to the cabin, although the weather was just right, he didn't see Mo Daopan sitting on the big stone in front of the door.

Fan Hu pushed open the door of the hut and saw Mo Dao fiddling with the flowers and plants in front of him.

"Teacher, the weather is so good, why don't you go outside the house?"

"You kid didn't go up the mountain to care about me. ”

Fan Hu answered and got down to business: "Teacher, I entered the second floor of the academy today. ”

"The second floor of the academy is the authentic lineage of the Onmyoji. It's good for you to go in. Mo Dao fiddled with the flowers and plants in front of him and took care of them carefully.

"There I saw a portrait of the teacher, and you turned out to be the last generation of the head of the academy. ”

"Oh?" Mo Dao stopped watering the flowers, a little curious: "Then what else did you see?"

"The second floor dean also praised you as the greatest onmyoji. Hearing this, Mo Dao was stunned for a moment. But he immediately returned to his normal state and waved his hand: "It's all a false praise." Immediately, the words changed sharply: "You must have something urgent to go up the mountain in a hurry during the day, let's talk about it." ”

"The students are here to say goodbye to their teachers. ”

"Are you leaving?"

"Well, the student will leave the academy tomorrow with his senior brother to find the memories of the Snow Maiden. ”

Mo Dao patted Fan Hu on the shoulder and said: "Your first realization caused a downpour, such a talent coupled with a year of hard training is also a small success, now that you have the opportunity to go out, you should seize it." But remember, do everything you can. Don't force it. ”

Fan Hu knelt down, kowtowed three times respectfully, and finally said goodbye to Mo Dao, thinking about the long road ahead, this may be the key to saying goodbye to the teacher, Fan Hu left the back mountain with this sadness.

Looking at Fan Hu in the distance, Mo Dao said to himself: "Is the greatest onmyoji? I'm just a selfish person." ”

......

Fan Hu returned to the dormitory, and just as he wanted to lie down, Zhang Jiangbo came up. Press Fan Lake against the bed. He asked with an unkind face, "Say, what are you doing today?"

"No, just casually strolled. Fan Hu explained.

"Don't explain, I clearly saw that you ran towards Liu Kan. You must be hiding something from me. ”

"Brother Bo, I'm leaving the academy tomorrow, so let me sleep well. ”

"You're going out? with whom? Liu Kan?"

Fan Hu nodded.

"Take me, I'm going too, I can help you carry your bag and carry water. ”

"It's not a tour, it's really important things to do. Fan Hu looked helpless. Obviously, Zhang Jiangbo's stalking was not in his consideration.

"I'm so old that I don't even have a girlfriend, and you're the only one I know in the academy. Now even you are going to abandon me. As he spoke, a few teardrops really came out of those little eyes.

"Ahh

"Really?" Hearing this, Zhang Jiangbo stopped crying, and smiled with that signature obscene smile: "Okay, you must bring me a beautiful girlfriend back!"
