When the sun rose, Gu Xu returned to his home at No. 22 Jinyu Lane.
Since there are still many elixirs in "Xianyunju", he doesn't have to rush to exchange his merits for the time being.
Looking at the thousands of meritorious services he had just received, and thinking of the hard life he had spent in Yishui County a few months ago, where he had forgotten to eat and sleep just for a few pills, he couldn't help but silently sigh in his heart: The hard days are finally over.
He even thought that it would be great if the Exorcism Department had a "merit bank", then he could deposit these temporarily unused merits in it and earn interest.
At this moment, a little bookboy wearing a gray shirt walked up to him and handed him a thick envelope: "Sir, these are letters sent to you by the students of Longmen Academy."
After Gu Xu took the letter, the little book boy turned around and walked towards the courtyard, his figure getting lighter and lighter, and finally transformed back into the figure in the mural.
Gu Xu remembered that when he was teaching the Talisman course, he once told the academy students that if the students still had questions about Talisman and Seal Script, they could write to this mansion.
This envelope looks bulging, and it must contain many questions.
The person who wrote the letter must be a good student who is diligent and inquisitive.
However, when Gu Xu saw the sender's name clearly, he was stunned for a moment——
This letter was actually written by Shi Xiaohan!
When Shi Xiaohan wrote the letter, it was naturally impossible to consult him about Talisman issues.
She recounted her college life in the past two days in a running account, as if she wanted to share every detail of her life with him.
In half of it, she was giving a long speech about the academy's dining hall.
She feels that the food in the canteen is indeed rich in variety, but the taste of some dishes is not authentic enough: for example, Jinling salted duck needs to be cooked at low temperature to ensure its juiciness, but the salted duck in the canteen is hard to bite. Not smooth enough; for example, the crab roe buns in the canteen always have damaged skin, leakage of soup, and the taste is greasy; for example, the saozi noodle soup in the canteen lacks the sour and spicy flavor, and the texture is not soft and smooth enough...
Gu Xu had to admit that Shi Xiaohan was indeed a gourmet expert. Even if her writing style is as plain as a primary school student's composition, she can still introduce the characteristics of various foods clearly enough to make Gu Xu hungry.
In the other half of the page, she was talking about her swordsmanship courses and the one-armed old man Hu Yun who was in charge of teaching and was known as the "Undefeated Sword God".
The old man was extremely strict with his students and spoke harshly. He can always find faults from various angles, and then reduce the students to nothing.
Practicing swordsmanship with him was simply a nightmare - not only physical abuse, but also mental torture.
I saw Shi Xiaohan narrating very aggrievedly in the letter: "Gu Xu, do you know? Old Man Hu scolded me very hard. He said, 'Your dodge movements are like dancing Yangko', and said, 'If you spread the word on the ground, A handful of rice, a chicken's footwork is better than yours,' and he said, 'Please donate your eyes to those in need,' and he also said that I'm like a rough guy, I don't pay attention to details, and I will definitely not be able to get married in the future..."
Seeing what she wrote, Gu Xu smiled and shook his head.
Although this old man named "Hu Yun" may not necessarily have the strength of "the first person among saints" as described in the rumors, if there is a "list of practitioners' fancy curses" in the Daqi Dynasty, He's definitely at the top of the list.
In addition, Shi Xiaohan also said that Old Man Hu treated him more strictly than others. He would take up her meal time to give her some special training, and then arranged for her to train almost twice as much as others.
"Gu Xu, this heroine is almost exhausted!"
She wrote these words so big and hard that they almost broke the paper.
Gu Xu could imagine her cute expression with her mouth pouted and puffed up when she wrote the letter, and he could imagine her pitiful appearance as she helplessly watched others eat while he could only practice his swordplay alone.
However, although Shi Xiaohan has been "tortured" physically and mentally recently, she did not reveal any negative emotions or willingness to give up.
She even proudly stated at the end of the letter that her sword skills had improved rapidly recently, and now she was able to hit two in class with ease.
So Gu Xu understood that the reason why she wrote to complain was essentially because she wanted to use this difficult environment to highlight her character image of being "tenacious in the face of difficulties, positive and optimistic, and diligent and hardworking", so that Gu Xu could praise her A few words.
This reminded Gu Xu that after taking exams in his previous life, he would always describe the test questions as too difficult in front of his parents, and then highlight how difficult it was for him to get 90% in the exam.
So he wrote back: "You're awesome."
Then he thought for a while and added: "I think Old Man Hu may have the idea of accepting you as his apprentice. You need to seriously consider this issue. Since the saints of the Daqi Dynasty did not use swords, so He should be the strongest swordsman today, and you should learn a lot from him.
"It's just that there are some disputes between him and Shudi Jiange. If he asks you to do other things besides learning swordsmanship, don't get involved casually. I don't want you to be involved with these big forces. In trouble.
"..."
…………
Laizhou Prefecture, Exorcism Department Yamen.
While Gu Xu was reading the letter, Shi Xiaohan's father, Shi Lei from Qianhu in Laizhou Prefecture, was also reading his daughter's letter.
Since his daughter left for the capital, Shi Lei has written to her almost every day to ask her how she is eating, how her training is going, whether her new colleagues are easy to get along with, and whether she has adapted to the new life in Luo Jing...
But the content of Shi Xiaohan's reply was extremely concise, just like squeezing out toothpaste. He answered whatever was asked and never said a word more.
For example, "I'm fine, the roast lamb is delicious, my colleagues are friendly, Luo Jing is great..."
This made Shi Lei feel irritated and helpless. He often lamented, "This girl is really hard-working. She is so perfunctory in writing letters to her father."
If he hadn't been busy with work, he would have really wanted to fly to the capital with his sword immediately to see Shi Xiaohan's real life situation.
Especially not long ago, he was even more shocked when he saw Shi Xiaohan writing in his letter, "The Chief Secretary recommended me to study at Longmen Academy."
Although his daughter is a unique treasure in his mind, he also knows very well that his daughter's cultivation talent is not the most outstanding in the capital where geniuses gather, and the background of the Shi family can only be described as mediocre.
According to common sense, it is impossible for Shi Xiaohan to come into the sight of the Chief of Staff, let alone to be personally recommended by the Chief of Staff.
