Chapter 4: The Absolute Circle
Chapter 4: The Absolute Circle
"Xianle class?" Jian Zhen looked at the class schedule in surprise, "What kind of course is this?"
"Where?" Lu Pin asked listlessly.
"The Temple of Water. β
"Who is the Taoist Master?" Fang Fei came out of the bathroom, his eyes tied with his trouser belt wistful.
"It didn't say it. Jian Zhen swallowed the food, "Maybe it's a merman, and a merman sings best." β
"Come on," Lu Pin snorted, "The mermaids are attacking Nanming Island, and I heard that many people have died. β
"What?" Fang Fei was taken aback, "The merman is the enemy of the Daoist?"
"You don't know?" Lu Pin glared at him, "Nanming Island is the front line against the sharks. β
"That's right," Jian Zhen said, "what do you think Yan Xuanji is doing there? Fishing or watching the scenery?"
"Without the Heavenly Dao Scholar in charge, the merman would have hit Jiming Lake a long time ago. Lu Pin said.
Fang Fei asked in confusion, "Why are you fighting?" Lu Pin said, "I heard that the Taoist stole something very important from the merman!"
"No," retorted Jane sharply, "the merman is very ambitious, and wants to rule the waters of the world. β
"Grapevine," Lu Pin waved his hand, "It's not worth mentioning!"
"Phew!" the big man glared angrily, "it's in the nature of foxes to lie. β
"Yo, you're racist. β
"What's wrong with me discriminating against you? shameless stinky fox. β
"Say it again. Lu Pin hooked his fingers at Jian Zhen.
"I don't want to say it. The big man was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and when he found that the situation was wrong, he immediately bowed his head and confessed.
"It's weird. Fang Fei swallowed a mouthful of egg custard, his heart full of taste. Sharks are mermaids, shouldn't mermaids be friends of humans?
After breakfast, the three of them went to the water hall together. Halfway through, Jian Zhen sighed and ran away. The other two followed to take a look, and found that dozens of large boxes were stacked on the lawn in front of Kuixing Pavilion, as well as a lot of exquisite furniture.
"See?" the big man danced excitedly, "The Academy is setting up our room." β
"Impossible," Fang Fei was deeply skeptical, "Le had such a good heart at that time?"
"The furniture is beautiful, oh, what's in the box? I guess it's delicious. Jane swallowed.
"Do you know how expensive these furniture are?" Lu Pin sneered, "The money to buy a chair can buy a house in Yujing, and Le will use it for you at that time?"
"You're an idiot. The big man sneered at each other, "This is Kuixing Pavilion, who will we live in?"
"Hey, son of the Nine Stars!" the Bei sisters rushed past the three of them in a gust of wind, and the two of them were dressed in costumes, revealing four long white legs under the flowery dress.
"What's wrong?" Fang Fei looked at the backs of the two in surprise, "Why are you dressed like this?"
"Fang Fei......" Bai Lei walked over with a sad face while holding a large boxy box.
"What is this?" Fang Fei stared at the box.
"Their stuff. Bailey snorted at his sisters.
"Why don't you use the 'Carrying Charm'?" asked Jian Zhen.
"You can't use spells," Bailey said, with a look of disgust, "they said the contents of the box were sensitive. β
"Where to send it?" Fang Fei asked.
"Water Temple!"
"You're also going to the Water Temple?" Fang Fei was a little surprised.
"Yes," said Bailey in a muffled voice, "to go to the fairy music class." Fang Fei became more and more puzzled: "Do you want to be a year?"
"All students have to go. Bailey replied. Fang Fei turned his head to look and found that the senior students were also walking towards this side in twos and threes.
"Do you know who the Taoist master of the 'Xianle Class' is?" Jian Zhen kindly rubbed the little head of the year-old.
"How do I know, I'm a year-old," Bailey glared at the big man viciously, "don't touch my head." β
"Nasty little ghost," the big man retracted his hand stupidly, "your sister can touch it, why can't I?"
"Huh," Lu Pin approached Bai Lei and lowered his voice, "Do you have the Heavenly Dao Weapon handed down by Bei Shenzhu?"
"Yes!" Bailey replied casually.
"What?" Lu Pin raised his eyebrows.
"Night pot," said Bere, one of the old man, "the night pot I use to pee at night is the one used by my ancestors." β
"Who asked you this?" Lu Pin was furious, "I'm asking about the psychic device." Bailey rolled his eyes: "I don't like psychics. Lu Pin was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why?"
"It's simple," replied Bailey, "because the sisters like it." β
Entering the water hall, Fang Fei found that it was overcrowded. Bei Yu called his brother in the front row, and Bai Lei squeezed over with a gloomy face.
Lu Pin turned his head to look, pointed to the distance and said, "Over there." Fang Fei looked back and saw that Tiansu was sitting in the corner, and there were still a few vacant seats around him - no one wanted to sit with the "Iceberg Girl".
The three of them touched it and sat down, Tiansu stared directly at the book, and did not lift his eyelids.
The dragon drum sounded, the water hall quieted down, and then, the dragon began to blow the trumpet, the qin water demon began to play the piano, the spirit fish swam around, scattered in all directions, and the melodious singing suddenly sounded in the water hall-
"The lonely tree, with soft silk wrapped around the branches. The song flows slowly, slowly telling the lovesickness. The flowers danced, and under the tree stood a maiden ......"
Accompanied by the singing, a young woman emerged from nothing on the pulpit, with a plain face, long hair hanging down her shoulders, wearing a long lilac skirt and a silver ribbon to tie her waist, solemn and chic, simple and noble.
"Ning Rouran!" the water hall erupted in earth-shattering cheers. Bei Lu and Bei Yu both raised their talismans and pointed to the square box, the lid of the box snapped open, hula, and countless butterflies with bright fire flew out, flying in all directions, touching the lake, banging and exploding, turning into colorful and brilliant fireworks, accompanied by a beautiful melody, the people in the water hall seemed to be in a dream.
"It's so beautiful," Jane Zhen looked at the fireworks in surprise, "What kind of spell is this?"
"It's not a charm," Tian Su said coldly, "It's a firework butterfly, similar to the composition of fire essence, it grows deep underground, and it explodes when it encounters water." β
The water hall was already in chaos, and the students frantically frantically rushed to the pulpit, shouting the name "Ning Rouran" in their mouths. The female singer's body shook and suddenly disappeared again, and the students threw themselves into the air and staggered together. Ning Rouran's figure disappeared, and her voice still resounded in the water hall: "Within five seconds, whoever doesn't return to his seat, as a Taoist master, I will deduct five hundred points from him." β
"What?" Fang Fei stared at the empty pulpit and was stunned, "Ning Rouran is an invisible?"
"It's not a secret," Lu Pin said in a tone of voice, "Stealth is not so much a Taoist technique as a talent, and the offspring of the invisible are more likely to appear invisible." Ning Rouran's grandfather is a notoriously invisible person, so she is also an invisible person, which allows her to easily avoid the harassment of fans. β
Fang Fei was puzzled, the invisibility attacked him twice, Ning Rouran, as the invisible, came to the academy as a Taoist again...... It's too much of a coincidence that these things come together, right? The student retreated unwillingly, Ning Rouran reappeared, and said with a smile: "I wanted to surprise you, but my secret seems to have been discovered!" She nodded at the Bei sisters, and the twins high-fived each other proudly.
"They said they were going to have a new Dao Master," Fang Fei recalled the sisters' words, "It turned out to be Ning Rouran." β
"It's really well informed. Jane really praised it.
"What's this?" Lu Pin said sourly, "Just invade the psychic mirror at that time and check the information of the Taoist master." β
"I'm your senior, and I've lived here for four years," Ning Rouran said emotionally, "I have two biggest regrets, one is that I didn't get the 'Kui Xing Award', and the other is that I didn't wait for the awakening of the Heavenly Sound Tree. In comparison, you are simply too lucky. β
The students applauded vigorously, mixed with shrill whistles.
"In order to make up for my regrets, I promised the Lord of the Le Palace to serve as the Taoist master of the 'Xianle Lesson', and what I want to do is to teach you to write the 'Movement Notes'. My greatest wish isβ" Ning Rouran looked at each one earnestly, "one of you will send the 'Movement Talisman' into the 'Eye' of the Heavenly Sound Tree, and let it play the music I taught you to write. β
Warm applause rang out again in the water hall, and everyone was so excited that their faces were red.
"Xianle is an ancient course, and before the Daoist War, it was only used as an elective in the fourth grade. So, who knows what a fairy is called?"
Hundreds of hands are raised high like a grove, and the eyes of the owner of each hand are shining with longing,
"Canglong Fang Fei," Ning Rouran's voice was like a blow to the head, making the boy's head dizzy, and he stood up in a panic, facing the loud boos in a daze.
"Quiet!" Ning Rouran looked at the boy with a smile, "Tell me, what is Xianle?"
"The music played by the gods. Fang Fei was talking nonsense.
The boos were even more exaggerated, the cries of "stupid, stupid" came and went, Fang Fei's hands were twisted together, and cold sweat was constantly flowing down his back.
"This ...... Not quite accurate!" Ning Rouran turned her gaze in disappointment, "White Tiger Emperor Qin." β
Huang Qin stood up and replied: "Xianle is music that can make the Yuan Shen fluctuate, and by influencing the Yuan Shen, it will affect the spirit, so that the listener will fall into joy, anger, sorrow and can't help himself. β
"Good. Ning Rouran motioned for Fang Fei and Huang Qin to sit down, "The origin of Xianle is the singing of phoenixes, in ancient times, twelve phoenixes sang on Fengshan Mountain, their voices made all living beings fascinated, and the sound of each phoenix was different. The wood god Gou Mang and the fire god Zhu Ming created twelve rhythms according to their tones, that is, the famous Phoenix Twelve Rhythms, and all music must be written with these twelve rhythms, who, can anyone say the names of the twelve rhythms?"
The water hall quieted down, and raised more than a dozen hands sparsely, and the female singer raised her voice and said, "Canglong Tiansu." β
The iceberg girl stood up and said in one breath: "The twelve laws have the same name as the twelve phoenixes, in order, they are Huang Zhong, Da Lu, Tai Tuan, Jia Zhong, Gu Xi, Zhong Lu, Rui Bin, Lin Zhong, Yi Ze, Nan Lu, Wu Ji, and Ying Zhong. β
"Perfect!" Ning Rouran nodded again and again, "One more thing, your mother Ling Zhao is my Immortal Le Daoist, and I am very sad about her situation. β
Tiansu was stunned, and sat back in place, his eyes empty and distracted. Ning Rouran's words had magical power, and she drained her Yuan Shen at once.
The female singer was not aware of this, she waved a brush and wrote the word "Huang Zhong" in the air: "Huang Zhonglu, also known as Huang Zhong tune, is changed from the song of the leader of the twelve phoenixes, 'Huang Zhong', who is generous, fair and upright. Therefore, the yellow bell tune is also rich and loud, and many songs use the yellow bell tune as the keynote, and interpret the movement on the basis of it, and the notes of the yellow bell tune are written in seven ways, which are ......"
Fang Fei's five tones were incomplete, and he suddenly asked him to compose the music, using music symbols that were completely different from Hongchen's, and after listening to it for a long time, he didn't know what to do at all. Ning Rouran's voice is very good, it is simply a hypnotic weapon, listening to it, he took a nap in a daze, and when he woke up, there was a thin and large light yellow rune paper in front of him, and when he turned his head, except for Lu Pin, everyone else was writing and drawing on the rune paper.
"What are you doing?" Fang Fei approached Jian Zhen, and the big man vigilantly covered the rune paper: "Class test, use the yellow bell to write the movement of the first bar of "The Girl Under the Heavenly Tree". Fang Fei was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Do you know how to write?"
"You take care of me," Jane's thick arms covered the rune paper tightly, "don't peek." β
"Why are you so stingy?" Fang Fei was annoyed and ashamed.
"Of course," Jian Zhen glanced at the platform, "I have to make a good impression on Daoist Ning." β
"Daoist Ning, it's so kind. Fang Fei was sarcastic, and on the other hand, he crossed the big man's shoulder, wanting to peek at Tiansu's test paper, and didn't want the two iceberg girls to wait there with cold eyes, so frightened that he shrank his head, and suddenly heard Tiansu shouting: "I'm done writing." With a stroke of the pen, the rune paper floated up, the notes on it flickered rapidly, and a familiar melody sounded in the void.
"Perfect, full marks," Ning Rouran waved her hand in satisfaction, "worthy of being the daughter of Lingzhao Daoist." β
"I'm done too!" Huang Qin flew up the rune paper for the second time, and the melody emitted was equally beautiful.
"Full marks," Ning Rouran looked surprised, "Now the second-year students are really powerful, and the senior students have to work harder." β
There was a stir in the senior students, and the third-year-old Su Ruolan brushed and wrote two strokes and said, "I'm done too." Flying up the rune paper and sending out a small piece of music, Ning Rouran listened attentively, and said with a smile: "Ninety-eight points, one wrong note." Su Ruolan frowned and pouted, looking at Tian Su and Huang Qin stupidly.
The music in the water hall kept ringing, all of them were the sound of students playing talismans, Ning Rouran held the psychic mirror, listened and watched, and constantly recorded the results of the performers.
"It's finally over. The big man exhaled, dotted a little rune paper on the tip of the pen, and the movement floated into the air, emitting a staccato melody like a flat tire.
"Twenty points. Ning Rouran wrote down the score without raising her head.
Jian Zhen turned his head in a trembling manner, faced Tiansu's murderous gaze, and stammered, "Fang Fei and Lu Pin didn't write a word. β
"Who said that?" Lu Pin woke up at some point, shaking the rune paper, and scribbled a piece of paper on it. Just in Jian Zhen's surprised gaze, the lazy man waved his pen a little, and the rune paper floated up, and the rune flashed at high speed, and with a "poof" sound, it was like a long fart.
The water hall burst into laughter, Ning Rouran looked displeased, and asked loudly: "Lu Pin, what are you writing?" The slacker scratched his head: "I don't know either." β
"Zero points," Ning Rouran waved the note, "The sound you just made was an offense to me, so ......" she raised her chin, "The dangerous word group is more than once." β
The white tigers in the water hall cheered in unison, and Si Shou almost smashed the table. Ning Rouran's gaze turned and fell on Fang Fei's face: "Son of Nine Stars, how are you writing?"
Fang Fei's face seemed to be on fire, he silently lowered his head, and slowly raised the rune paper, there was not a word on the paper.
Ning Rouran's face was slightly gloomy, and she suddenly heard the sound of the dragon drum, so she put away the psychic mirror and announced loudly: "Now those who have not handed in the papers will be counted as zero points, and copy the music of "The Girl under the Heavenly Tree" a hundred times after class. β
There was a wail in the water hall, and Tian Suteng stood up and rushed past Fang Fei, like a hurricane, rolling the boy into a mess.
"I live in Kui Xing Pavilion," Ning Rouran said suddenly, "If you have any questions, you can come to Kui Xing Pavilion to find me." β
The water hall fried the pot: "Daoist Ning, I have a problem from head to toe...... I have so many questions that I can't finish them for three days and three nights...... Is it okay to sign it...... I want you to write the movement note yourself......"
The students rushed to the pulpit feverishly, Ning Rouran smiled, raised her hand and snapped her fingers, and her body disappeared like a light smoke from there to nothing. The student threw himself into the air and let out a cry of disappointment.
"Hey, did you hear that?" Jian Zhen said suspiciously, "Ning Rouran said that she lives in Kuixing Pavilion, which Kuixing Pavilion is it?"
"I don't know. Fang Fei's mind was full of thoughts about Ning Rouran's "stealth technique".
"I know," Bai Lei came out of nowhere, "When Ning Rouran was in the second grade, she lost the 'Kuixing Award' with a slight disadvantage, and in order to please her, Le made a special trip to let her live in the Kuixing Pavilion to make up for the regrets of the year. The third and fourth grade Kuixing Pavilion are all inhabited, so ......"
"So she's staying in our Kuixing Pavilion," Jane stomped her foot in anger, "it's so unfair. β
"Oh!" Lu Pin patted the back of his head, "No wonder the furniture is so expensive." β
"How do you know this?" Fang Fei looked at the first-year-old suspiciously.
"Sisters," Beray pouted, "they're both jack-of-all-trades." β
"Damn the two-headed dragon," Lu Pin punched vigorously, "They must have peeked at Le's psychic records at the time." β
"What's the afternoon class?" Fang Fei looked at Jian Zhen.
"Talismans. The big man replied sullenly.
"There's good news. At the thought of seeing the sky, Fang Fei's mood suddenly improved a lot.
After lunch, the three of them went to the ink house, passing by Kuixing Pavilion, Fang Fei found that there was a long queue on the lawn outside the pavilion, the students were dressed in fancy clothes, holding up a photo of Ning Rouran in their hands, and their bodies were full of admiration for the female singer: "Ning Rouran, you are the best...... Ning Rouran, I love you...... Ning Rouran is fire, light is the sun...... Ning Rouran, I was a deaf person before I heard you sing......"
"Damn!" Jian Zhen looked at Kui Xing Pavilion and wanted to cry without tears, "The person who lives there should be me." β
"Be quiet," Lu Pin whispered in his ear, "watch out for her fans tearing you to shreds." β
When he arrived at the Olympic room, two-thirds of the seats were empty, and Lu Pin glanced at it: "I would have stayed in the dormitory and slept if I had known." β
"Come on," Jane Zhen scathingly debunked him, "you won't sleep in the classroom?"
"It's more comfortable to sleep lying down. Lu Pin stretched.
"It's really rare," Fang Fei found a phenomenon, "The dangerous character group is the only group that is full. β
"As soon as you say it, it's really ......" Lu Pin's gaze stopped at the door, Tian Haobai appeared with a handout, walked up to the pulpit, glanced below, and asked in surprise: "So many people are absent from class?"
"They've all gone to the Kuixing Pavilion," the big man shouted at the top of his voice, "what a shame!"
"Kuixing Pavilion?" Tian Haobai patted his head, "Oh, Xiao Ning is here." He pulled out a roster, "Okay, I'll take a roll call, the white tiger witch is ......" With a wave of the pen, he pointed to the third vacant seat on the left in the front row, the azure light flashed, and the witch jumped out of thin air, sitting on the chair heavily, she was wearing a long gold and white dress, the word "Ning" on her left cheek was like a blooming rose, her eyes were dull, she looked around ignorantly, and she didn't understand how she came to the classroom.
"Vermilion Bird Fish Envy Feather," Tian Hao's white voice just fell, and with a strange scream, Yu Xianyu appeared in the corner of the back row, his gorgeous clothes were stained with gem powder, and his left hand held up a slogan, which read: "Ning Rouran, I am your echo." β
"White Tiger Gong Qi," Tian Hao's white pen tip swiped, and Gong Qi appeared next to Wu Xuan, dressed in colorful green, with a white cloth wrapped around his head, which read, "Step on me, Ning Rouran, I am your high heels......"
The classroom burst into laughter, making Gong Qi shrink into a ball in fright, rubbing his eyes vigorously, with an expression of "where am I, what am I doing".
"Canglong Beiyu, Canglong Beilu ......" With Tianhaobai's words, the two sisters appeared at the same time, Bei Lu was lying on Bei Yu with her hands dancing, Bei Yu couldn't help but scream: "Come down, you are pressing me." The two men tangled for five seconds before they separated.
Tian Haobai remained silent, pointing out the names of the absentees one by one, and as the light flashed, the empty seats in the Olympic room were quickly filled one by one. The old Taoist put down the roster, looked at the room full of strange costumes, and said kindly: "Now start the class, well, let's talk about this ...... today" turned around and wrote a few big words in the star dome behind him, "Desperation Talisman and Soul Breaking Talisman." β
The noise in the room was swept away, and everyone stared at the handwriting, and their eyes showed horror.
"Can anyone explain these two concepts?" Tian Hao raised his hand, "Canglong Tiansu." β
"Both of these talismans are talismans that can kill people, the Death Talisman attacks the flesh, and the Soul Breaking Talisman attacks the Genshin!" the girl spoke quickly.
"Very good," Tian Haobai smiled and nodded, "Can you list these two charms?"
"Never six. "Tian Su didn't think twice, "There are six Death Talismans: Extreme Strength Talisman, Chill Talisman, Thunderbolt Talisman, Shock Talisman, Stagnant Water Talisman, and Scorching Bomb Talis......man; β
"Not bad at all!" Tian Haobai motioned for the iceberg girl to sit down, "This school year, we will focus on teaching these eight charms. β
"Heavenly Dao Master," Bei Lu couldn't help but exclaim, "Isn't the Soul ......Breaker a third-year course?
"You don't want to learn?" Tianhao winked at her.
"That, don't ......" Belle was so excited that she couldn't ...... her words, "I want to learn so much."
The Ao Room was slightly commotioned, and everyone was surprised and excited, and there was an indescribable confusion.
"According to the usual practice, in the first lesson of each year, I have to give you an annual exam question," Tian Haobai said calmly, "Last year was the 'Fire Talisman Paper Book', please raise your hand if you have completed this topic." β
The Ao Room was silent for a while, and raised three palms sparsely, belonging to Fang Fei, Tian Su and Huang Qin, and after two seconds, Tian Haobai was just about to speak, and suddenly saw Lu Pin also lazily raising his right hand. Everyone looked at him in amazement, and a subtle voice of doubt sounded in the room.
"Is there only four people?" Tian Haobai was a little disappointed, "Okay, add 100 points to the corner group, and add 200 points to the dangerous group." Also......" he paused, "Anyone who completes the 'Fire Rune Paper Book' is eligible to take my dragon language class. β
"Dragon language is also a class?" Fang Fei muttered quietly.
"You don't know?" Lu Pin also muttered, "From the second grade, every student has to take a different language. β
"Alien language?"
"The language ...... other races" Before Lu Pin could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Jian Zhen, and the big man looked at him with jealousy: "You can ......'fire rune paper book'? Alas, what did you write on me?"
"Ignition charms. Lu Pin withdrew the brush and looked at the runes on Jian Zhen's clothes with satisfaction.
Jian Zhen's face turned pale, he stared at the charm on his clothes, and rubbed it twice, the rune did not disappear, but became brighter and brighter, he raised his eyes to look at Lu Pin, his lips trembled: "Do you want to do it?"
"Burned your new clothes. The slacker squinted.
"Bastard," Jian Zhen roared with a fist, "cancel the spell." β
"Well...... "Well," the slacker said lazily, "it depends on my mood." β
"Bastard......" Before the big man finished scolding, Lu Pin's gaze approached: "Scold again, I'll turn you into a roast suckling pig." Jian Zhen shrank her head and pursed her mouth in disbelief.
"This year's annual exam question is also a symbol," Tian Haobai raised his pen and gently hooked it, and the tip of the pen dragged out a slender arc of light, the arcs were connected end to end, forming a natural circle, and the circle was full of azure light, floating in front of the old Taoist, floating and sinking, like a small full moon.
"Round Light Talisman!" the audience whispered.
"That's right," Tian Haobai watched as the circle slowly disappeared, "The 'Circle Light Talisman' is the last talisman created by the Fragmented Evil. As you can see, there are no spells, no words, only an absolute circle. He looked at the audience, "Who can tell me what an absolute circle is?" Oh, White Tiger Emperor Qin." β
"An absolute circle is an absolutely perfect circle, with an amplitude of three hundred and sixty degrees, and the arc that makes up the circle is absolutely smooth, and no flaws can be found even under the 'microscopic symbol'. Only when the 'Absolute Circle' is drawn can the 'Circle Light Symbol' appear. After Huang Qin finished speaking in one breath, he looked at Tianhao with a white face and hesitated, "Heavenly Daoist, as far as I know, the 'Yuanguang Fu' is not a course of the Academy. β
"That's right!" Tian Haobai nodded calmly, "The 'Yin Eclipse Talisman' won't hurt you just because you're a student. β
The students looked at each other, Fang Fei felt a burning pain in his chest, he unconsciously stretched out his hand, gently rubbed the crescent-shaped bulge, and when he raised his head, he found that Tianhaobai's gaze was over, and the old Taoist master drew a "round light talisman" with a hook of his penββ
This small circle contains the true meaning of the universe and the compassion of the Dao Ancestor. All 'Desperation Talismans' have mutual restraint charms, such as the 'True Water Talisman' that can restrain the 'Extreme Strength Talisman', the 'Emperor Heaven Thunder Talisman' can dissolve the 'Thunderbolt Talisman'...... "Tian Haobai's voice became low, "But from ancient times to the present, there is always only one way to resist the 'Soul Breaking Talisman', and the 'Circle Light Talisman' has resisted countless attacks on the Yuan God and saved the lives of countless Daoists, so everyone gave it another name, do you know what it is?"
"The shield of the primordial gods!" replied in unison.
"Very good," Tian Haobai looked at the place where the round light disappeared, "This is this year's annual exam question - forging your 'Yuan Shen Shield'. β
The students became excited, and without waiting for the old Taoist master to finish speaking, they competed to pull out their brushes and draw round light towards the void. It looks easy, but it's hard to draw. Of course, it is easy to draw a circle, but it is another thing to draw an "absolute circle", the arc behind has not been completed, the arc in front has disappeared, the pen speed is as fast as Tiansu, Huang Qin, and barely draw a perfect circle, because it is not "absolute" enough, it disappears in the blink of an eye
Fang Fei also tried hard, but unfortunately he painted back and forth, the lines of the pen were crooked, not so much circles as earthworms, and he knew that when he saw his handwriting, he would be so angry that he would climb out of the coffin and give him a chestnut beating.
A simple circle stumped Ziwei's most outstanding young genius, the silence in the Olympic room was terrifying, everyone's faces were pale, and suddenly a curse sounded in the crowd: "Shit!"
This sentence comes from Huang Qin. The crown prince stared at the arc of light that disappeared in front of him, completely unaware that he had cursed a dirty word.
"Emperor Qin also scolds?" Jian Zhen touched his belly and commented, "It's really big news." β
"It means that he can still be saved," Lu Pin turned over comfortably, "He can scold people for being human!"
"I also want to curse," Fang Fei turned the brush stupidly, "This 'round light talisman' is to play tricks on people." β
"What good things will happen to Tianhaobai?" Lu Pin was proud, "You guys are too naΓ―ve, I won't fall for the bad old man's ......"
"Who are you talking about?" A voice sounded from behind him, Lu Pin's intuition was cold behind him, as if there were dozens of dark ginseng crawling up and down, he turned his head stiffly, looked at the smiling Tianhaobai, and then looked at the old Taoist master on the pulpit, and let out a whimper in his throat: "Doppelganger?"
"That's right," Tian Haobai nodded, "Doppelganger!"
There were five Tianhaobai in the Olympic room, except for the one on the stage, the other four stayed in different corners, watching the students draw circles with interest.
"Heavenly Daoist," Lu Pin said with a sad face, "I'm talking about having fun!"
"Wow," Tian Haobai's doppelganger smiled, "Within this month, you will copy all the 'traffic talismans' a hundred times." β
"What?" Lu Pin screamed, "There are thousands of traffic charms!"
"Yes," Tian Haobai touched his beard, "what's the problem?"
"Heavenly Dao Master......" Lu Pin tried to grasp the last straw, "You're also talking about fun, right?"
"Absolutely not," the clone walked to the pulpit, became one with the real body, and clapped his hands gently, "Everyone continue to work hard after class, just like last year, whoever completes the 'Circle Light Talisman' will get 100 points for the group they belong to." Now, let's first study the past and present lives of the 'Extreme Flame Talisman', tracing back to the source, the 'Extreme Flame Talisman' belongs to the variation of the "Fire Talisman". However, in addition to the 'fire charm', the wind method is also added, which requires a large amount of oxygen to be extracted and compressed from the air to support the most intense and long-lasting burning ......."
Tian Haobai was quoted from the side, and analyzed the history, causes, and use cases of the fire method one by one, and talked endlessly, and talked about it in one breath. Fang Fei kept writing and took most of the class notes. After Xuegu was in distress, he had a strong interest in the "Extreme Spirits", and tried to write many times afterwards, but he was never successful, and Tian Haobai's explanation made him understand one thing, the key to the Extreme Spirits is not fire, but "wind", that is, the control of air. The so-called "fanning the wind and igniting the fire", the wind spell has a great impact on the speed, intensity and durability of the flame, and the perfect "extreme flame charm" must be a high degree of integration of the two types of wind and fire spells.
The more Fang Fei studied the talismans, the more he felt that each talisman was not an isolated existence, once it got out of the basic talisman and entered a higher level, the connection between the talismans would be closer, if the thousands of talismans were arranged and combined, what would be presented was not a simple tree-shaped structure, but an extremely complex three-dimensional network structure, plus the changes in time and space, it would also form a more complex four-dimensional structure - taking this four-dimensional network into his mind could be said to be something that all talisman masters had dreamed of throughout the ages.
"Is this the way the Hidden Book records the spell?" Fang Fei subconsciously looked at his left hand, the white stone version was silent for a long time, in order to find a way to summon it at will, Fang Fei was very troubled, but the "free will" of the hidden book was unpredictable, it came and went without a trace, and it was never expected when it would appear.
The red dots on the big screen were dense, like measles growing on Yujing's body. Yan Mei stared at the screen for a long time, and a strong disgust welled up in her heart.
"What are you doing?" Du Fenglie walked over with a cigarette stick in his mouth, staring at the red dots on the screen, "Maps of Gomang District and Zhuming District?
"The place of disappearance of all the missing. The girl replied.
"Well organized," the female tiger detective nodded approvingly, "what did you find?"
"Remove the cases that have been solved," Yan Mei waved his pen, and the red dots were one ninth less, "and then connect all the adjacent red dots." As she wielded her brush, the red dots on the map were linked together by thin red lines and became a dense network that firmly covered most of the city.
"What does this prove?" Du Feng swallowed the clouds.
"Don't you think it's like a spider's web?" As soon as Yan Mei spoke, Du Fenglie put down his cigarette stick and showed a thoughtful expression.
"Spider hunters tend to stay in the center of the web, so that they can feel the vibrations of the web," Yan Mei pointed to a dark place in the map, "The center of this web is here." β
"Forget the ruins?" Du Fenglie blurted out.
"The closer you get to the ruins, the more red dots there are. According to the time of the crime, in the first three months, most of the criminals moved within 150 miles of the ruins, and after three months, the crime site began to spread outward. Since the murderer never committed the crime repeatedly in the same place, the time of the conclusion of the joint crime can roughly deduce his criminal route. β
Du Fenglie sighed, and realized: "Are you looking for a place to put bait?"
"According to the calculations," Yan Mei dotted one place, "I think the place to drop the bait should be between the Kunpeng Hotel and the Shuanglong Tower." β
"You're so confident," the female tiger detective glanced at the girl, "you never doubt your own judgment?"
"Why are you suspicious?" Yan Mei looked at her boss in confusion, "I did my full investigation and made careful calculations. β
"Have you ever heard of 'man is not as good as heaven'?"
"What if you heard that?"
Du Fenglie shook his head and sighed: "Since you were a child, you must have rarely experienced setbacks. β
"If you say the exam is ......," Yan Mei thought for a moment, "I've never taken a second place." β
"Life is not an exam, how can you say it?" Du Fenglie thought for a while, "It's more like rolling in a quagmire, no matter whether you win or lose, no one is clean." β
"Either way, just solve the case. Yan Mei said impatiently.
"Do you think the criminals are hiding in the ruins?" Du Fenglie stared at the dark areas on the map.
"Don't forget, youkai are good at change and stealth. β
"It's not a youkai. Du Fenglie shook his head.
"Why?" asked Yan Mei.
"Yokai don't have the word 'kidnapping', they just eat people directly, and they make a mess of the scene, there are blood stains and paw prints everywhere, I can catch them with my eyes closed......"
"You're talking about ordinary youkai," Yan Mei retorted, "What if it's a descendant of the fox god?"
"Descendants of the Fox God?" Du Fenglie raised his eyebrows, "There are only three descendants of the Fox God on record, Fox Qingyi, Lu Pin, and ......"
"Vermilion Bird Yanmei!" There was an angry shout from afar, and the two looked back, Gong Zinan led Song Aiqi to rush in, and threw the picture in his hand at the girl, "You went to find Zuo Xuan without us?"
"Zuo Xuan?" Yan Mei fixed her eyes on the picture, it was a magnified photo, the image was blurry, it should be taken from the "Tianyan Fu". In the picture, two young women drink tea and talk across a coffee table, the woman on the left is less than thirty, delicate and unfamiliar, and the woman on the right wears a pair of golden-red glasses, but from the hair style and facial contour, it is very similar to Yanmei.
"Don't you have anything to say, right?" Gong Zi Nan yelled, "Lord Xingguan said that you are not allowed to participate in the investigation of the 'arsenal theft case', and if you violate it, you will be fired on the spot......" He raised his index finger and pointed at the girl, coldly Yan Mei raised his hand, grabbed his finger and twisted it hard, Gong Zi screamed, and squatted down in pain, Song Aiqi stood aside, frightened and helpless.
"Yan Mei!" Du Fenglie scolded sharply. The girl glanced at her, let go of Gong Zinan's fingers, and said coldly: "I hate it when people point to my face the most." β
"You wait," Miyako gritted his teeth, "I'll go find the star official right away......"
"Slow," Du Fenglie stared at him and said, "Who are you talking about Zuo Xuan?" Gong Zi snorted, raised his face and didn't answer, Song Aiqi glanced at everyone, and said timidly: "Feng Shaoyu's wife." β
"Feng Shaoyu?" Yan Mei's heart jumped, "Yan Ying's pretending psychic?"
"You really know very well," Gongzi is as hard as a treasure, "You really went to find Zuo Xuan." β
Du Fenglie also looked at Yan Mei suspiciously, the girl remained silent, and pointed to the woman on the left in the picture: "She is Zuo Xuan?"
"Do you really know how to pretend?" Gong Zinan sneered, "You already know her." Yan Mei shook her head and said, "It's a pity that the person on the right is not me." β
"How so. Miyako was speechless and sarcastic.
"Below the root of the ear on the left," Yan Mei pointed to the picture, "There is a cinnabar mole here, I don't have it here!" replied, pointing to the root of the ear, white and shiny, without any mark.
Gong Zi stared at the cinnabar mole, his face twitched slightly, and he said in a quack: "This can be faked." β
"Why should I fake?" Yan Mei raised her eyebrows, "You'd better ask Zuo Xuan, who is the person she has seen?"
"I know who it is," Du Fenglie turned the psychic mirror in his hand, pulled the screen and enlarged it, and there were several pictures arranged in it, there was only one woman in the picture, and her face was somewhat similar to Yan Mei, "Her name is Ouyang Xin, a real estate agent, hmm," she glanced at Yan Mei, "Except for the eyes, she looks a little like you." β
Gong Zi couldn't quickly browse the psychic mirror, his face turned from red to purple, and the green tendons on his neck were full of flowers, he turned his head sharply and glared at Song Aiqi behind him. The woman trembled, grabbed the picture back, and said repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I was mistaken, I didn't know that Zuo Xuan was going to sell the house, I ......"
"Shut up," Gong Zi roared with a clenched fist, "you can't divulge the case." Song Aiqi shuddered and whispered, "Yes." β
"Anyway. Gong Zi was difficult to face Yan Mei, and his tone was a lot weaker, "I will never allow you to meddle in the 'arsenal theft case'." β
"Really?" Yan Mei smiled.
"Today's events should be a warning. Gong Zinan pointed at Yan Mei, suddenly remembered the previous pain, hurriedly withdrew his index finger, threw a threatening look at Du Fenglie, turned around, and rushed to the door, Song Aiqi looked depressed and stumbled behind.
"What an idiot," Du Fenglie snorted and looked at Yan Mei, "Huh, where are you going?"
"Get outside and breathe. The girl walked towards the door.
"Don't do anything stupid!" the female tiger detective couldn't help but remind.
"Don't worry!" Yan Mei strode out of the department, put her hands in her pockets, stood in front of the door and thought about it, took out the psychic mirror, and wrote the word "Zuo Xuan". The girl browsed using "Shen Reading" and soon found the woman who was difficult for Miyako to show her. She clicked on the picture, and a shrill beep sounded in the mirror, along with a line of text: "This person is sensitive to information, and any browsing is prohibited." β
Yan Mei mobilized psychic ghosts, and soon broke through the spiritual barrier and entered Zuo Xuan's psychic platform, which was empty and had no personal information.
"Protective deletion. As a tiger detective, Yan Mei is no stranger to this situation, in order to protect some key people, Dou Ting will try to delete their psychic information, such as residential addresses, psychic platforms, etc., this deletion is clean and unrecoverable. On the other hand, if Dou Ting protectively deletes Zuo Xuan, it means that she is a key figure in the "arsenal theft case".
Yan Mei's mind came alive. She entered the White Tiger Hall for the "arsenal theft case", all because of the witch history, she couldn't interfere publicly, and now the important information was close at hand, and the girl couldn't hold back the curiosity in her heart.
She straightened her waist and walked through the long corridor, turning a corner, a tall arch towering in front of her, and a nameplate at the head of the door that read "Public Affairs and Safety Section" was written in sharp handwriting, like an unsheathed sword. Yan Mei looked at the nameplate, and a sadness rose in his heart, this is the most important place in the White Tiger Hall, but the leader is a complete scumbag, the "Demon Suppression Sword" is rusty, and it has long since lost its sharpness.
Yan Mei is like a boat crossing a reef, dexterously avoiding the surveillance of the "Sky Eye Talisman", she waved the talisman in her hand, and wrote "Phantom Hair Talisman", "Dressing Talisman", "Makeup Talisman", and "Telescopic Talisman" one after another...... When she came to the arch, she had already changed her appearance: dark purple glasses on the bridge of her nose, short fiery red hair with a light gold hairpin, a white face with a few more freckles, and a light beige trench coat over her silver-white uniform......
The two male tiger detectives were standing by the door chatting, and when they saw her coming, they were just about to ask, but they couldn't help but raise their eyebrows, and the light of the "forgetting charm" flashed, and the two turned their faces in a daze.
As soon as he entered the arch, he heard the roar of Gong Zinan, and the object of his anger was Song Aiqi. "Stupid" and "idiots" flew all over the sky, girls were crying and crying, and other tiger detectives were gloating and looking over there.
Yan Mei took advantage of the chaos to walk into the bathroom, got into the compartment, closed the door, took out the fairy compass and started the timer.
The door rang a few times, people came and went, and the cursing outside came and went, until finally stopped.
Bang, someone lifted the door and slammed it slammed on, and with a click, the door was locked.
Through the crack in the door, Yan Mei clearly saw Song Aiqi standing in front of the washstand, whimpering and pulling out the talisman pen, writing out the "thrush talisman" and starting to draw the eyebrows. As she expected, Song Aiqi has exquisite makeup, and she must pay attention to her appearance, and after being scolded and crying, the first thing she did was to come to the "bathroom" to touch up her makeup.
"Whew!" Yan Mei pushed the door and broke out, Song Aiqi was startled, only stunned, Yan Mei raised her pen and shouted: "I am dazed." β
The "charm charm" hit the other party, Song Aiqi's eyes were confused and shaking, Yan Mei stepped forward and said, "Give me vitality." β
Song Aiqi struggled to stretch out her right hand, and silver-white vitality gushed out from her fingertips, flowing into Yan Mei's palm like mercury.
Yan Mei stretched out the talisman pen, dipped it in silver-white vitality, wrote a string of talismans, and recited the transformation charm, and a cloud of silver light gushed out from the tip of the pen. She turned the tip of the pen to aim at herself, flicked her middle finger lightly, and the silver light fell on her body, as if a snake and insect had molted its skin, and her appearance changed drastically from head to toe, and she became Song Aiqi's appearance.
The struggle in Song Aiqi's eyes became more intense, Yan Mei held her with one hand, sent her into the compartment, and pointed forward with the tip of the pen: "Hook the soul." β
The "coma charm" illuminated Song Aiqi's face, and the female tiger detective tilted her head and fell to the ground unwillingly.
Tuk tuk, there was a knock on the door outside. Yan Mei closed the compartment with her backhand, wrote a "blockade charm", clicked, and the deadbolt of the compartment fell, locking it firmly from the inside.
Bang, the door of the bathroom opened, and a female tiger detective broke in, yelling at Yan Mei: "Why are you closing the door? This is not your home." β
"I love it. Yan Mei squeezed the woman away and strode out.
"Less proud!" the woman was shocked and angry, and shouted behind her, "What's so great about you, it's not that you rely on men to support you......"
Yan Mei couldn't cry or laugh, if it weren't for the change of appearance, she really wanted to turn around and ask the other party what he meant. She glanced around, and soon found Song Aiqi's name, a golden-black nameplate hanging next to the office door, with an access charm underneath, and only the owner's vitality could enter. Yan Mei had already prepared, leaving a little bit of Song Aiqi's vitality when she transformed, and injected it into the door at the moment, easily opening the door of the room.
Closing the door and sitting at the table, she glanced at the fairy compass, the transformation time could not exceed fifteen minutes, or Song Aiqi would wake up.
The psychic mirror hovered on the table, but she didn't look at it. However, since the invasion of the "two-headed dragon", the "psychic mirror" of the White Tiger Hall has been useless, and many important materials can only be copied by hand.
She put on thin leather gloves, entered the state of "divine reading", quickly browsed the messy stacked materials on the table, read it in less than five minutes, but found nothing, her eyes fell on the secret talisman cabinet under the table, took out the psychic mirror, covered the heavenly lock, entered a string of charms, the heavenly lock holographic projection into the psychic mirror, and a number of white shiny runes appeared in the nine-layer word ring - this is the trace left by the vitality. The moment Song Aiqi clicked on the Tianji lock, she also left her vitality on the lock, and Yan Mei used the "Yuan Qi Sensing Talisman" to capture the faint vitality left by the female tiger detective and find the runes she often clicked.
The virtual "Heavenly Machine Lock" rotates extremely fast in the psychic mirror, trying to permutate and combine different runes at a speed of tens of millions of times per second.
With a click, the "Heavenly Machine Lock" stopped, revealing the complete sequence of characters. Yan Mei clicked on the Tianji Lock, opened the Secret Charm Cabinet, and took out a stack of files. The cover reads "The Theft of the Arsenal". Her heart beat faster, and she quickly flipped through the dossier, thousands of pages of documents, describing the process of Yan Ying's entry and exit from the arsenal, listing the losses and casualties of the arsenal, and there were many post-catastrophe images on it, which made Yan Mei's heart tremble, and there was incomparable despair in her chest: "He can't go back!"
Tears blurred her eyes, and she lifted her sleeves, rubbed her eyes, and continued to flip back. Soon found that Feng Shaoyu's name appeared in the file, and the personal information below was clearly written - wife: Zuo Xuan, 26 years old, address: No. 143, Feipeng Street, Goumang District......
Tuk tuk, the knock on the door made Yan Mei jump, she hurriedly closed the file, stuffed it into the secret talisman cabinet, closed the door, took out the fairy compass and looked at itβthere were less than three minutes left.
Tuk tuk, the knock on the door was more urgent, Yan Mei subconsciously touched her face, opened the door of the room hard, and found that Gong Zi Nan's face was full of anger, and she asked, "What are you doing?"
"Organize your files. Yan Mei whispered, eager to kick this guy into the Ruthless Sea.
Gongzi looked at her suspiciously, and waved his hand: "Come to my office." "After that, he turned around and left.
"Damn!" Yan Mei glanced at her and found that many tiger detectives were secretly glancing at her, with ambiguous and strange expressions on their faces.
Holding back her heartbeat, Yan Mei walked into the section chief's office, and suddenly saw Gong Zi difficult to guard the door, and when she saw her coming in, she slammed the door shut, and grabbed her shoulder with her right hand like a chicken claw.
Yan Mei was startled, and hurriedly dodged away, Gong Zi was difficult to grasp, and his face was ugly: "What? are you still angry with me?" The voice was so soft and greasy, Yan Mei instinctively fried her scalp, and vaguely guessed something, but she didn't dare to be sure.
"Those words are all jokes," Miyako grinned at her, "Don't you know what I do to you? I'll give you a promotion, a private office, and a new coat and jewelry...... Everybody's talking about us, but for you'...... I don't care."
Yan Mei was almost angry, and the shamelessness of Gongzi's difficulty was beyond imagination. Song Aiqi fell into the hands of such a person, and Yan Mei deeply sympathized with her.
Gongzi was difficult to press forward step by step, and Yan Mei retreated to the desk unconsciously. Gongzi is difficult to crack her mouth and laugh, the strong bad breath is disgusting, and what is even more disgusting is that the old scoundrel is hairy and tried to hug her waist. The girl subconsciously touched the pen, she was absolutely sure that before the palace touched her, his dog's paws disappeared completely.
Bang, the door was kicked open, Du Fenglie held the cigarette stick, and Da Ra walked in.
"Du Fenglie," Gong Zi was furious, "are you crazy?"
Du Fenglie ignored it, stared at Yan Mei sternly, opened his mouth and spit out a puff of smoke, floated to the top of Gong Zinan's head, and condensed into one word: "Get out!"
Gong Zi was difficult to notice, but Yan Mei could see clearly, secretly relieved, bypassed the two and slipped out of the door, and Du Fenglie shouted behind him: "Gong Zi is difficult, you are a bully to me, aren't you? You slandered my tiger detective, and you didn't apologize a word! Do you think that the 'Missing Persons Investigation Bureau' is the back garden of your house, you can enter if you want, and you can go out if you want?"
"Crazy, crazy," Gong Zi said incoherently, "I'm going to complain to the star official, wait and see, man, I'm going to let you get out of the White Tiger Hall......"
"Don't come to this set, you have to apologize to Yan Mei!"
"Fuck off, why should I listen to you?"
"Or are we going to practice?"
"I ...... In the workplace, brawls are strictly prohibited......"
"Cowardice!" Du Fenglie concluded.
The tiger detective watched the two quarrel, but neither of them paid attention to Yan Mei. The girl squeezed through the crowd and sped into the bathroom. Thankfully, there was no one inside, and just about to close the door, I suddenly saw Song Aiqi walking out of the compartment with her head in one hand, and when she saw Yan Mei, a furious anger welled up in her eyes.
The two faced each other, Song Aiqi took the lead in attacking, a "thunderbolt talisman" rushed out of the pen, Yan Mei did not dodge or dodge, wrote "Emperor Heaven Thunder Talisman", the white glittering light net unfolded silently, firmly wrapped in lightning, and rolled away in reverse.
Queen Song Aiqi retreated, hurriedly wrote out the "Extreme Flame Fu", the tip of the pen flashed with fire, and suddenly felt a cold rush to her body, Qing Lingling's water light shrouded the flames, water overcame fire, and the "True Water Fu" preemptively extinguished her true fire.
Song Aiqi retreated again, and wrote out the "Feiyan Town Evil Talisman", Tu Keshui, the gesture just moved, the green light of the tip of the Yanmei pen emerged, and the "Immortal Algae Wanluo Fu" was entangled, absorbing the yellow light of Song Aiqi's pen tip, and brushing the ground around her body.
Song Aiqi's moves are restricted, and the pen is backward, no matter what kind of talisman is used, Yan Mei can always take the first step to restrain it. The light of the two pen tips flashed continuously, and they attacked seven or eight back and forth, Song Aiqi retreated to the compartment step by step, stumbled under her feet, sat down on the toilet, and followed the severe pain in the tiger's mouth, and the talisman pen flew out of her hand and fell into Yan Mei's hand. She was about to scream, when suddenly she felt cold, her tongue was hard like a stone, and her hands, feet, and limbs seemed to no longer belong to her.
"Everything is empty. Yan Mei pronounced the incantation clearly, and the bright light of the tip of the pen shot into Song Aiqi's eyes, who was dazed and his mind was full of smoke and smoke in the depths of his mind.
After writing the "Forgetting Charm", Yan Mei took two steps back, looked back, and was terrified. The door of the bathroom opened, and the quarrel between Du and Gong came clearly, and someone came in at this time, and the consequences were unimaginable.
She settled down, put the pen into Song Aiqi's pencil case, quickly dodged out of the door, rushed out of the "Public Affairs Safety Section" in one breath, passed through the main entrance of the White Tiger Hall, paused her left foot slightly, and flew east on the "Danli Sword".
