Shi Xiaohan remembered that through these two methods, he and Gu Xu became "a good partner for killing ghosts in Yishui County."
However, after hearing her words, Tao Xi was startled, and waved her hands nervously: "No, you don't have to spend money... The academy has meal subsidies, and I will buy them myself."
Shi Xiaohan frowned slightly.
She just felt that talking to the other party was very laborious, and it was easier and more enjoyable to chat with that guy Gu Xu.
"Perhaps...she is not interested in the topic of 'food'?"
Shi Xiaohan thought for a while and asked again: "If I remember correctly, you seem to be majoring in Talismans?"
"Yeah." Tao Xi nodded stiffly.
"I have always felt that the monks who understand the Tao of Talisman are the most powerful," Shi Xiaohan continued. "They can actually understand those messy patterns that are like heavenly books."
Praise others when you are in doubt.
This is the social method she learned from Gu Xu and Shangguan Jin.
It's just that maybe because she didn't have many opportunities to practice, her words still sounded a little awkward.
"It...is actually pretty good," Tao Xi smiled sheepishly and stammered in response, "My talisman and seal skills are actually very average, far worse than...your fiancé."
"Fiancé?" Shi Xiaohan opened his eyes wide, stood up from his seat, stared at Tao Xi and said, "I'm not engaged yet, where can I get my fiancé?"
Tao Xi was frightened by her suddenly raised tone, and couldn't help but move back, shrinking into a corner of the carriage: "I...I heard others say that you and Mr. Gu exchanged birthdays a few months ago... Eight characters..."
"Don't believe what you hear, those people just like to brag," Shi Xiaohan snorted, his fair and crystal clear earlobes turning slightly red inadvertently, "We are just ordinary colleagues, we didn't exchange horoscopes!"
"Yeah, I understand, don't be angry..." Tao Xi said anxiously, while nodding his head like a chicken pecking at rice.
Shi Xiaohan took a deep breath and sat down on the chair again.
She hates people who like to brag and gossip behind everyone's back all day long.
But for some reason, when she heard the words "fiancé", her heart began to beat faster, and a secret joy arose in her mind.
…………
Daqi was a dynasty that valued etiquette.
Just like when new officials of the Exorcism Department take office, they need to worship gods, martyrs, and emperors.
Freshmen entering Longmen Academy also have a complicated ritual process.
They first came to a spacious and bright double-eaves lobby.
The lobby is round in shape, symbolizing the roundness of the sky; the tiles are blue, symbolizing the sky.
There are statues of God enshrined inside.
This is a statue with two sides in one body.
On the front is the "Tai Shang Haotian Jade Emperor", wearing a golden nine-chapter robe and a twelve-row bead crown. He is sitting on a golden throne, holding a jade seal. He is tall, with strong features and a long beard. He looked majestic and solemn, with a dazzling golden light emitting from his body, making it impossible to look up.
Beside Him stood two pairs of boys and girls.
One of the boys held a three-foot-long sword in his hand - the blade glowed golden and the hilt was engraved with exquisite dragon patterns.
Going around to the other side of the lobby, you can see the "Zhongtian Arctic Ziwei Emperor" on the back of the statue. Compared with "Tai Shang Haotian", His appearance looks slightly thinner. He wears a crown on his head and wears a black dragon robe with patterns of stars and clouds and dragons embroidered on it. His temperament is out of this world but majestic. His hair is bright silvery white, like molten silver, and the stars can be faintly seen flowing on it.
In His hand, he holds a disk-shaped object - it is engraved with complex lines and symbols, just like the trajectory of the stars in the sky.
As soon as Shi Xiaohan saw it, he couldn't help but feel dizzy, as if he had seen a complicated and difficult book on Talisman.
Beside the statue of "Emperor Ziwei", there are also four attendants.
But they are not boys and girls, but colorful statues of the four star kings "Zuo Fu", "You Bi", "Tian Kui" and "Tian Yue", holding books or swords in their hands, all bowing their heads. Look respectful.
The freshmen of all the academies first burned incense and worshiped at the "Tai Shang Haotian". Under the guidance of a teacher, they recited the "Jade Emperor Baobao", the content of which is as follows:
"Tai Shang Miluo is the supreme heaven, and there is a mysterious and true realm. The purple and gold palace is misty, and the jade palace is too small. The supreme saint is shining brightly. The silence is vast and there is no sect, and the mysterious pattern is in the ten directions. The pure and true Tao is magnificent. The Great Divine Power of Desert. The Jade Emperor, the Great Heavenly Lord, and the High God of Xuan Qiong."
"Baogao", also known as "Gaozhang", is a prayer word praising the gods, usually presented in the form of parallel prose.
After reciting the "Jade Emperor Bao Gao", they came to the statue of "Emperor Ziwei" and recited the "Star Lord Bao Gao" in unison:
"Daluo Tianque, Ziwei Star Palace. It is high in the North Pole and located at the center of the sky. The rotating jade scales Qi Qi Zheng, totaling the latitude and longitude of the sky and the earth. The sun, moon and stars are about four o'clock in the ecliptic and the purple wall. Grandmaster of Wanxiang, Ruler of all heavens. Great compassion and great wishes, great sage and great mercy. Leader of Ten Thousand Stars, Wuji Yuan Emperor. Ziwei in the middle sky, great emperor of the North Pole."
After worshiping "God", the students, under the guidance of their teachers, went to a side hall next to them to burn incense and worship in front of the statue of "Wenchang Xingjun".
"Wenchang Xingjun" was originally just an assistant minister around "Emperor Ziwei".
However, because he is in charge of knowledge, education, examinations and fame, the teaching institutions of the Daqi Dynasty, including Longmen Academy, Imperial College, various county schools and some private schools, will enshrine the god of "Wenchang Xingjun" alone. Bit.
"Wenchang Xingjun" looks like a civil servant, wearing an official hat and bright red embroidered official robe, holding a jade tablet, with an upright appearance. There is a stack of books and a simple bronze mirror beside him. .
At this moment, Tao Xi, who was standing next to Shi Xiaohan, suddenly lowered his head and whispered: "You... do you feel that the appearance of this 'Wenchang Xingjun' seems a little familiar..."
Shi Xiaohan shook his head, and then responded: "Maybe you have worshiped his statue elsewhere?"
"No, I think He is a bit like someone in reality...but I can't remember who he is specifically like..." Tao Xi's voice became lower and lower, and the last few words were almost completely inaudible. Obviously she I'm not very confident about my own feelings either.
After worshiping several gods, the freshmen came to the largest room, "Siqi Hall", to listen to Li Zhengxun, the dean of Longmen Academy.
Dean Li looks tall and majestic, but his words are particularly verbose.
He started by saying, "I will briefly talk about three things today", but each thing evolved into countless things, the contents of which were basically "to do justice for heaven", "to serve the emperor", and "to create a peaceful and prosperous world for the people" These principles are repeated over and over again.
Shi Xiaohan felt drowsy after listening to it, and even suspected that he was using a hypnotic spell.
ps: One chapter of the November monthly pass has been repaid, and three chapters are still owed.
