The drizzle moistens the earth, pattering, pattering...
Before I knew it, the rain stopped.
The courtyard is quiet and empty.
The breeze blows, and the fallen cherry blossoms are in full bloom. The pink petals are like raindrops falling, and they are like catkins swaying in the wind.
The faint fragrance of flowers mixed with the smell of earth came to his nostrils. The young man picked up the flowers, his eyes lowered, and he was thinking.
This is a quiet courtyard, close to the west side. There is a cherry blossom tree standing next to the pavilion. At that time, the flowers are in full bloom. Nearby is a pool of clear water, which is crystal clear, quiet and clean. There are a few pink cherry blossoms floating on the water.
.
In this way, with small bridges and flowing water and people’s houses, the scenery is just right.
Qianchen stood for a long time, looking at the distant mountains. His mind was empty, as if he had merged with the world, forming a beautiful and ethereal picture.
Mountains are still mountains, and water is still water.
He sighed softly, then took a deep breath, and closed his eyes in concentration. When he opened his eyes again, the world had changed. The originally colorful scenery was now gray.
The sky was even more invisible. The blue sky that had just been washed by the rain was covered with gray mist. The air also became blurry and seemed to be foggy. Qianchen's whole body was filled with an energy that could not be described in words.
Is this spiritual energy?
Phew~
A few moments later, Qianchen exhaled a breath of turbid air. This state could only be maintained for less than three seconds before he was exhausted. At this time, his whole body was weak and weak.
I can't do this anymore, I feel like I'm overdrawing my life.
Qianchen is confused, is this still the world he knows?
When you wake up, it's like waking up and seeing a different world. It's amazing.
Although he still doesn't know the specific function of this ability, Qianchen feels that it is extremely important to him.
"Um?"
Qianchen lowered his head, and it turned out that it was Xiaobai who was rubbing his trousers, and then circling around him, his tail kept wagging.
Xiaobai was picked up by Qianchen. At the corner of Ping'an Street, there was a gray stray animal curled up next to a pile of debris. His small eyes were full of intelligence, and he took him back with love in his heart.
Home.
Xiaobai is very smart and likes this name very much. Whenever Qianchen calls, Xiaobai will always come running around with his tail wagging.
"Xiao Bai, I'm going to school today, stay at home." Qianchen picked up the white fox and stroked its soft, snow-white hair. It was very comfortable. Xiao Bai shrank and squinted his small eyes like black gems, which was also very comfortable.
I like being hugged like this.
Put down Xiaobai and Qianchen warned him again before leaving home.
Kyoto Academy is the only academy in Heian Kyo. There are countless geniuses here. Their dream is to become a true Onmyoji and protect Kyoto.
It is also extremely difficult to enter the academy. Qianchen is the only one who can enter without any examination in decades.
The courtyard was not far from the school. After a while, he came to the gate of the school.
Onmyoji is a profession that everyone aspires to. Through practicing day and night, one can possess spiritual power unimaginable by ordinary people, observe stars and find positions, draw talismans and recite incantations, sign contracts with ghosts and become shikigami, etc.
Qianchen once had the dream of becoming a distinguished Onmyoji, but conditions did not allow it and he had no choice.
It's too difficult, it's too difficult.
He is so difficult!
Aura insulator.
In other words, he is just an ordinary person.
Qianchen tried many methods, but to no avail.
As for coming to Kyoto University, this was what his parents told him before they left. He didn't know where he went or how soon he would be back.
"You are already sixteen, you must have your own thoughts and judgments." These were the father's exact words. The two left a letter of recommendation and then disappeared.
Qianchen asked a lot of questions, and his mother opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say a word, but he could see the reluctance in her eyes clearly.
Here he comes.
Qianchen decided this way.
Today was the entrance test. He was just here for a formality. He had already submitted the envelope yesterday and was admitted directly.
He is now a student at the academy.
The entrance test means that some people may lose their qualifications to enter the school today.
Outside the gate of the school, young boys and girls were in groups, chatting happily, and some were silent and waiting quietly. After all, they had not officially entered the school yet.
"He's coming."
"Oh? That person without spiritual power yesterday was actually able to take the entrance test?"
"Yes, it is said that it was recommended by the Great Onmyoji."
"..."
Someone saw Qianchen coming here and whispering to a friend next to him.
"Hello, my name is Long Yi." A young nobleman came to Qianchen and took the initiative to chat.
Qianchen: "Hello, what's the matter?"
Long Yi looked very indifferent, like a handsome young man, and said politely: "After enrolling in school, I will elect the class president. Please support me." His attitude was sincere when he spoke, but the contempt deep in his eyes was still noticed by Qian Chen.
.
After all, youth is a frivolous and arrogant age, and it is normal to be a little arrogant and not take everything seriously.
Oh? Is this to win people’s hearts?
Qian Chen responded: "It's easy to talk about."
Long Yi was immediately happy and started chatting with Qian Chen. After a long while, he left and went to find someone else.
Qianchen's expression didn't change, but he clenched his fists unconsciously, feeling unwilling to do so. Strength is everything.
Just yesterday, all freshmen took part in the first round of spiritual power tests.
The people who had high expectations for him were undoubtedly shocked and their jaws dropped. Then, no one cared about him, and they ridiculed him on the spot. It was not obvious, and one could imagine the discussion behind it.
Due to the recommendation letters, the school finally admitted me.
In less than a stick of incense, the examiner from yesterday's test arrived, and the scene suddenly became quiet. Everyone was afraid of the most famous instructor in the school, Yan Luo.
These newcomers had already learned the lesson yesterday.
Director Yan looked around without saying a word, and finally looked at Qianchen and said: "Qianchen, come here."
Qianchen went as instructed and received a list of new students.
Director Yan remained expressionless as he continued: "From now on, Qianchen will be your squad leader. Also, if you have any questions, you can come to me or him."
?
Qian Chen was a little confused. Was it fake? With just one letter of recommendation, he was directly admitted to school. He already admired his father and was appointed as the class monitor? He was about to say, are you kidding? But he was interrupted by others.
"I don't agree."
I had approached Qianchen before, just to get him to support the aristocratic young man who became the squad leader. He said dissatisfiedly: "The squad leader is going to lead everyone forward. What's the use of him being a waste with no spiritual power? I suggest re-electing him.
Everyone votes."
"Yes, choose again."
"disagree!"
"..."
Everyone began to whisper and expressed their unwillingness.
Qianchen was very angry and stared at the young man. Longyi also looked back with provocative eyes, but it was not Qianchen's turn to speak now.
"You question my decision? What's your name?" Director Yan seemed to have known this would happen and spoke slowly.
"Long Yi. I don't dare to question, I just suggest..." Long Yi was interrupted by Director Yan before he finished speaking.
"If there's no problem, let's start the test." As the name suggests, Director Yan will decide what he says, and no one dares to say anything.
Long Yi was even more angry and dared not speak, so he could only stare at Qianchen.
…
Qianchen was speechless.
O__O“…
He's so panicked, he's a public enemy, it's not fun at all.
