The mountain breeze in midsummer seems to have a bit of burning meaning.
The cicadas on the distant mountains were chirping hysterically.
The hot road surface feels sticky when you step on it, as if the soles of your feet are melting...
Yin Jiao held the document bag on her chest and slowly walked towards the seemingly unremarkable mountain.
There was no absurd or magical reversal in everything.
The notification letter from Peking University, like other students, was sent to Yin Jiao's home as scheduled.
During this period, there were no calls from other colleges and universities.
In fact, Yin Jiao received a call from the Admissions Office of Peking University a few days ago.
After sharing this true joy of relief with her family, Yin Jiao immediately picked up her mobile phone and dialed a certain number.
The call went through, but it was Sheen the Feather who answered the phone.
It means that Yi Xia is out hunting.
But since she called Yi Xia, he must know.
Yin Jiao was stunned for a moment before reacting.
Before that, she sometimes called to greet her, and it was Yu Ren who answered the phone.
But at that time, it always said that Yi Xia was on a business trip.
Now that I think about it, I probably went hunting.
hunting……
Yin Jiao considered this word repeatedly in her mind.
She probably now knows some people about Yi Xia's status in the extraordinary realm.
But, if it were that kind of existence, what kind of terrifying thing would it be hunting?
Is it a thousand-foot-tall evil dragon, or one of those ferocious beasts from ancient myths?
Yin Jiao didn't know.
She walked alone through the bustling streets, passing by alleys filled with the aroma of food and the noise of people.
The city's reinforced concrete buildings are like cold forests guarding her on both sides.
The clouds above her head happened to be on the same road as her, bringing a bit of coolness under the scorching waves.
Yin Jiao was not the only one who got the admission notice.
Along the way, she could hear many cheering sounds and calls of good news.
She is the same as them, but ends up in a very different future.
Finally, she reached the foot of the mountain.
The clouds along the way did not wait, but flew leisurely towards its promised direction.
The guard at the foot of the mountain smiled kindly at Yin Jiao.
Yin Jiao had some impression of him.
Because it's midsummer now, although a large number of households in the city now have air conditioners.
But for older people, they have gone through quite difficult years.
Therefore, in some aspects, there will be savings that many young people often find difficult to understand.
Therefore, when Yin Jiao went up the mountain, she could see many people preparing to go to the mountain to enjoy the cool air.
It's summer vacation now, and some kids are being taken to the mountains.
Whether they are happy or not is unknown.
Yin Jiao stepped on the shade of the trees and walked towards the mountain.
Along the way, she unexpectedly met a classmate.
After seeing Yin Jiao, she greeted her from a distance.
The other party's expression was very natural, but Yin Jiao could feel a little restrained.
As for the source of this restraint, Yin Jiao felt that it might come from the parents next to him...
Everything hasn't started yet, but there seems to be an invisible line that separates her past and future.
But is it really so?
Yin Jiao looked at the closed gate on the hillside in front and the children playing on the mountain path next to it.
She felt that maybe the answer was not so...
The iron door slowly opened, and a familiar figure appeared in front of Yin Jiao.
At this time, Yin Jiao, who was always smart, didn't know what to say.
She handed the document bag to Yi Xia and smiled shyly.
She knew that maybe it would be at the end of the exam, or even before it was over.
Her brother Yi Xia has already understood everything.
But it looked like he opened the document bag in a more ceremonial manner, looked at the admission notice inside, and showed a slight smile that showed no signs of performance.
Yin Jiao, who was originally somewhat anxious, now felt much calmer.
It was as if she was back to that wide-eyed afternoon in the park.
Only this time, no passers-by pricked up their ears curiously...
"Then as we agreed, let's teach you how to raise toads."
Yi Xia put away the notice and said to Yin Jiao with a smile.
"...Can I learn anything else?"
Yin Jiao said softly.
"That won't work..."
After Yin Jiao couldn't help but reveal a slightly disappointed expression, Yi Xia continued with a smile:
"Then you have to become a disciple..."
The Yu Ren next to him watched the scene quietly without any fluctuation in his expression.
The evil nature of the great witch is indeed as bad as ever...
It thought secretly in its heart.
…………

The sun is shining in the garden, but it doesn't seem too hot.
Various seasonal flowers in full bloom decorate the garden quite brightly.
There is not too strong floral fragrance, or in other words, they only move within a limited range.
Yin Jiao has been here many times.
But this time, everything seems particularly different...
"When it comes to apprenticeships, although I'm not very rigid, I still go through some basic procedures."
"By the way, don't forget to tell your family that you may have to go back later today."
In the garden, Yi Xia lay half lazily in the air.
Even if he was ready to accept Yin Jiao as his disciple, he would not create a majestic or solemn image of a teacher specifically for this purpose.
Yin Jiao on the other side was drinking the mung bean soup brought by Yuren.
On the originally regular bowl, there was a small and cute cartoon wooden carving.
While Yin Jiao was studying, she certainly didn't have much energy to surf the Internet.
Therefore, I don't know much about it.
So after listening to Yi Xia's words and nodding obediently, Yin Jiao felt somewhat puzzled.
Her eyes wandered between Yi Xia and Yu Ren, wondering whose work this was...
She looks pretty girly...
Yin Jiao whispered in her heart.
But Yi Xia here didn't pay attention to this. He was sending messages to some seniors he had known before through the Internet and various channels.
As planned before, Yi Xia is not planning to invite too many forces this time.
Except for the old Dragon King of the Thirteen Dragon Palace and a few other people who were close enough, some wild seniors were also invited.
Of course, the main thing is a unilateral invitation - from Yi Xia's point of view, he doesn't think these seniors can spare the time to come.
As for the process of apprenticeship, after carefully studying the relevant inheritance of Wu Jin.
Yi Xia felt that it was too complicated and simplified it directly.
In Yi Xia's view, the most important function of these complicated ritual processes is to inform heaven and earth.
But for Yi Xia, it was just a thought...
So, there is no need to bother like that.
In this way, the sun gradually sets towards the west until dusk...
