Chapter Twenty-Six: The Lower Yuan Festival
Although there was a slight flaw at the end, on the whole, there was no big problem with the closing ceremony, and the school was still in harmony in the report of the school magazine.
Of course, it is a well-known fact that newspapers outside the school, such as the 'Betatown Post', have always had a prejudice against First University, especially Jiuyou College, and like to make small things big and big things are not good.
Although the school hunting party ended like this, at the closing ceremony, the ferocious and greedy eyes of those demons have been deeply engraved in Zheng Qing's mind. Although the school's follow-up investigation said that because of the gust of wind, the stands of Jiuyou College, which was in the upwind direction, would naturally be coveted by demons. But the young public-funded student had a feeling that if Lao Yao hadn't deterred those demons at that time, they would definitely rush up and tear themselves to pieces first.
This is based on a wizard's most primitive intuition.
"When they see other wizards, they rush up and tear them apart. Although Zheng Qing comforted himself in his heart, he knew that this was self-consolation after all—it was not the first time that the demons looked at him with that kind of greedy eyes. There must be something wrong with this.
In view of this, Lao Yao's suggestion once again surfaced in his mind. Go find Professor Monteria and ask him to help you get yourself checked.
"Alas. Thinking about this, the young public-funded student couldn't help but sigh deeply. Although there was a faint sense of urgency in his heart, and he also wanted to do it right now. But not today.
Because of today's mid-year festival.
"Taishang Sanguan Sutra" has a cloud: "The heavenly official blesses, the local official forgives the sin, and the water official relieves the misfortune." Corresponding to the three festivals of the wizarding world, the Shangyuan, the Middle Yuan, and the Xia Yuan.
Theoretically, the lanterns are put on the Shangyuan Festival, and the sacrifices are prayed for; the ghost door is wide open on the Midyear Festival, and the ghosts walk at night; and the Xiayuan Festival is set up to fasting and build Jiao to relieve misfortune and recommend death. It's just that in practice, wizards don't have a high sense of awe for some existences in the starry sky, so the sense of ritual on the Trinity Festival has not been very strong - it seems that only when the ghost door is wide open on the Midyear Festival, wizards pay a little more attention.
Of course, the lack of a strong sense of ritual does not mean that there are not many taboos.
Because the Sanyuan Festival appears on the lunar calendar (around the 15th day of the lunar calendar), it happens to be the day when many oriental wizards burn incense to worship their ancestors, and it is also the day when the nature of the council under the moon such as werewolves and vampires blooms.
However, although it is a holiday, because the madness of some creatures is difficult to curb on such days, in order to avoid accidents, the school does not allow students to go out at will - especially at night.
"What are you sighing again? Want to go out? You've only been in the dormitory all morning! You still have a whole day to stay up today!" Xin Fatty's voice came from the balcony, looking a little gloating.
Although he also had to stay in a small dormitory, he did have a space of his own.
With his huge size, the fat man alone almost filled the entire balcony, and the others didn't want to be crowded with a sweaty fat house, so they simply let him occupy it - only the fat cat Tuan Tuan, who could ignore the fat man's breath, snapped on his head without pressure, and flicked his tail gracefully.
Lao Yao said that the teaching assistants will come to check on the bed today, and if you don't want to be deducted credits, it's better to settle down. Xiao Xiao raised his head from the book and glanced at Zheng Qing warningly.
"Deduction points, our Captain Zheng doesn't care!" the fat man's sour voice came from the balcony.
Zheng Qing laughed, there was no interface.
Indeed, he had already earned a lot of credits in class, as well as extracurricular club invitations, practices, etc., and in the freshman competition a few days ago, because he used his credits as a bet, he won a lot more—after a few scatters, his total number of credits has almost exceeded fifty points—according to his current scores, most of the places that most of the school's students can use have been opened to him.
For freshmen who have just entered the school for more than two months, this score is quite objective. Especially considering that it only takes a hundred credits to upgrade from a freshman to a sophomore year at Jiuyou Academy, his current score is even more terrifying.
"I don't know how Dylan was doing in the hospital. Since he opened his mouth, Zheng Qing naturally didn't want to continue to be dull, so he simply started a conversation and began to chat with the other two.
"What else can you do! Eat, drink, sleep!" The fat man didn't know what to eat on the balcony, chewing rattling, and looked full of resentment: "It's not that you haven't seen it, he's living a good life!"
"It's not been so comfortable for them these days. Zheng Qing raised his arm, looked at a little elf hanging on his fingertips, and said softly: "Especially, you know, his blood is not so pure. ”
Silence fell back in the dormitory.
This made Zheng Qing regret it a little - he just habitually refuted the fat man, and he didn't really want to bring up such a sensitive topic.
"If Dylan could find his heart, it wouldn't be so bad. The fat man's voice sounded from the balcony again, and although he couldn't see his expression, Zheng Qing could hear some unusual dullness in his tone: "...... Just like me. If I could truly find peace of mind, I wouldn't have quit the Blue Giant at such a critical moment in the hunting grounds. ”
The atmosphere in the dormitory became more and more heavy, which forced the young government scholarship students to try to change the subject.
"Speaking of hunting, do you know where the blue goes? I don't seem to see him very often lately. Zheng Qing tried to make his tone lighter: "You say, is he in love?" ”
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but think of the appearance of the cold swordsman in love, and couldn't help but laugh in a low voice.
However, Xiao Xiao's answer made his laughter stop abruptly.
"He fell in love with his sword. Xiao Xiao lifted his glasses and glanced at the young public-funded student silently: "Because in the freshman competition, when facing the wolf king's attack, he retreated and did not raise his sword...... So he now has a lack of sword heart. According to the people of the Star Academy, he was frantically sharpening his sword. ”
A swordsman sharpens his sword, naturally not as literally, sharpening his sword with a grinding stone.
"But didn't he go with us to see Dylan a few days ago?" Zheng Qing couldn't help but ask.
"What do you think of his state that day?" Xiao Xiao asked rhetorically.
Zheng Qing was dumbfounded.
Looking back carefully, Blue was pale that day, as if he had not rested well, and his condition was indeed not very good.
"Just because his sword retreats in the face of danger......" The young Gongfei grew up with a sigh of relief, wanting to say something, but finally found himself with nothing to say.
This kind of thing is indeed not something that others can put their beaks in.
After a few conversations, the atmosphere in the dormitory became more and more somber, much to the chagrin of the public-funded students who had planned to liven up the atmosphere.
Until a paper crane flew in through the window.
