chance world

All the people in the academy were talking about ghosts after dinner. Some said they heard crying at night, and some said they saw ghosts.Some clever waiters in Tsing Yi took advantage of their positions to start selling things that exorcise ghosts, dog tooth chains, and mahogany magic utensils. At the beginning of the sale, they were banned by the Academy. Xue didn't believe in the theory of strange powers and chaotic gods, but after finding out the results, even the imperial envoy believed in the haunting, and the search by officers and soldiers weakened a lot. Also began to sell utensils to exorcise ghosts.The imperial envoy also specially invited ghost exorcists and Taoist priests from famous mountain Taoist temples to open the altar, and dispatched officers and soldiers to paste ghost talisman papers on the halls of the academy and the gates of each student's residence.If outsiders who don't know the inside story come to Canghuan at this time, they may think that this is a Taoist temple rather than an academy.

However, the normal operation of the academy was not greatly affected, and all homework continued as usual.

The last few days have been cloudy, although there is no sunlight, the weather is a bit hot.It may be the reason why everyone in the academy is in panic and panic recently. Ding Qiyu felt an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart. Instead of accompanying Lu Weiming to the law class, he went to his master in advance to practice the impermanent swordsmanship.After practicing swordsmanship, it is estimated that Weixi and the others' etiquette class should be over soon. Looking at the already dark sky, although there are two female guards "lurking" around Weixi, they are still worried. Ding Qiyu took the Wuchang sword Harvest hangs on his waist like a dagger, ready to pick up Wei Xi.

Because of the haunting, the imperial court sent a lot of ritual officers in charge of sacrifices to Canghuan. The resources were not in vain, so the academy organized authoritative ritual officers to teach a few etiquette lessons to the female students, so today, Weixi and the others I went to the north side academy where the third-year students were studying, and I had to go through the Peak Square when I came back, which was a bit far away.

Afraid of missing someone, Ding Qiyu felt windy under his feet, and finally ran into the female students walking back in groups of threes and twos on the summit square.Ding Qiyu found Weixi, ran up, panting, "Weixi! Phew, I've caught up." Because there were many people around, she didn't want Weixi to be embarrassed, so she chose the name "Weixi".

Lu Weixi was talking to Qu Ruochen, when Qi Yu suddenly appeared in front of him, and he was a little surprised in surprise: "Qi Yu? Why are you here?"

Ding Qiyu was a little embarrassed, and explained the reason: "Eh... the academy is not peaceful recently, I am a little worried that you have to walk such a long way to study, so, so I came to pick you up."

Several ladies from famous families who were close to each other, when they heard Ding Qiyu say this, they all felt a kind of envy towards Lu Weixi from the bottom of their hearts. Not to mention, she is more willing to save her life when she is in danger. May I ask which girl does not yearn for such a beloved man?

Qu Ruochen said with a smile without hesitation: "Wow, Mr. Ding is so nice to sister Xi that he has nothing to say." The words were half teasing and half sincere envy.

Wei Xi's face was a little hot, and she whispered to Ding Qiyu: "I'll go back with everyone, so there's nothing unsafe..." Saying that, her heart was full of sweetness.

Ding Qiyu saw her embarrassment, and hurriedly said: "Oh, then don't worry about me, you continue to talk about yours, just pretend that I don't exist." After speaking, he immediately retreated some distance behind them, showing himself with actions Never eavesdrop on the conversations between the two of their boudoir close friends.

Lu Weixi felt a little distressed seeing Ding Qiyu's aggrieved retreat to the back, and was about to speak, but Qu Ruochen who was next to him took his arm: "Sister Xi, does Uncle Lu know what happened to you?" Lu Weixi had no choice but to tell Qu Ruochen speak up.

And Yun Yi at the edge of the crowd saw Ding Qiyu a long time ago, and was quite pleasantly surprised, but unfortunately the surprise dissipated in a short while.Although she didn't hear what was said between Ding Qiyu and Lu Weixi, Yun Yi felt a little lonely when she saw the indelible pity and affection in Ding Qiyu's eyes.Qi Yu came here for Ms. Lu, he only has Ms. Lu in his eyes, maybe he has always been only Ms. Lu... Being able to become friends with Yu is already a blessing I have cultivated, why do I want to do so much...

Ding Qiyu followed Wei Xi and the others as a competent bodyguard, and suddenly remembered that Yun Yi must have attended the etiquette class. He turned around and looked around, and finally found Yun Yi who was at the edge of the crowd. Although it was a little far away, he could still see clearly. She was looking towards herself.Ding Qiyu smiled at her and waved his hand, which can be regarded as a greeting between friends.

Yun Yi was wondering why Miss Lu ignored Qi Yu?Seeing Qi Yu greeted him, for some reason, he walked over in a strange way, and when he got to Ding Qiyu's side, he realized his strange behavior, so he had to bite the bullet and say hello: "Qi Yu..."

Ding Qiyu happened to be bored, so it would be good to have a friend to chat with: "Yun Yi, how have you slept recently? Did you not have any nightmares?"

"Huh?" Yun Yi didn't expect her to ask such a question, remembering the little mahogany sword engraved with flying feathers that she would take out to look at for a long time every night, she nodded cautiously and said: "Well, thanks to the one you gave me. peach wood sword."

Ding Qiyu smiled and said: "Haha, I said it was effective, after all, it was I who opened it up." The method of "following the tricks" that he adopted was really very effective, and Yun Yi didn't worry about ghosts anymore.

The two people in front noticed Ding Qiyu's actions, Qu Ruochen reminded in a low voice: "Sister Xi, he started chatting with someone else."

"I know..." Lu Weixi replied, she had noticed the movement behind her a long time ago, she was calm on the surface, but her heart was sour because of the familiarity of the two, and she unconsciously gathered the corners of her clothes.It seems that Qi Yu's relationship with Ms. Yun is getting better and better...

Qu Ruochen saw that she was a little unnatural, and worried: "Sister Xi, why don't you take the initiative to attack, so that Mr. Ding won't be snatched away."

"What is it to grab or not? Qi Yu and Ms. Yun are just friends." Lu Weixi really couldn't do what Qu Ruochen said "take the initiative" and could only hint over and over that Qi Yu and Ms. Yun were just friends, she couldn't It would be too stingy to interfere with Qi Yu's normal friendship.It's a pity that this psychological hint seems to have had little effect. Driven by the little girl's possessiveness, the sourness still can't stop coming out.

Qu Ruochen nodded: "Okay, okay, since Sister Xi believes in him, Xiaochen has nothing to worry about." She is just a bystander, she doesn't know much, and she can't interfere.

All the way back, many female students had an appointment and went to the meeting place in the square. There were only a dozen or so of the group including the maids. They left the peak square and walked to the south side academy where the first-year students were. At this time, I was passing through a section of woods, the sky was already dark, and there were no people on the road.

Several people here were thinking about their own small thoughts, and suddenly heard a woman's scream: "Ah—ghost! There is a ghost!"

Everyone was startled by the sudden scream, Yun Yi subconsciously stretched out her hand to hold Ding Qiyu's arm beside her, everyone's eyes were on the woman who screamed, the female student was hiding Behind her servant girl, she pointed in one direction with a frightened expression on her face.Looking in the direction of her finger, she saw two red fires burning on the soil slope not far from the forest.The fire danced and flickered in the air, the flames were red with white, surrounded by misty white smoke, indistinct and indistinct in the dark sky, like two pupils from the nether world, watching you faintly, very strange creepy.

"Ah—" Many girls burst into screams, and a dozen or so people who were originally in groups of threes and twos gathered together in an instant.Perhaps the reason why Ding Qiyu was the only "man" among the dozen or so people was that the crowd crowded over with her at the center. One arm protects Wei Xi, but the other hand cannot be moved. When he looked down, he realized that it was being hugged by Yun Yi, who was also pushed tightly against him.Everyone squeezed together to push Ding Qiyu and the others to the front, letting Ding Qiyu "take the lead" and resist the evil spirit.

"Don't be afraid, don't panic, it's phosphorus fire, not a ghost!" Ding Qiyu explained loudly, hoping that everyone would not get confused, "Phosphorus fire is a natural phenomenon! Just like rain, wind and thunder, it is a natural phenomenon!" In order not to cause In an even greater panic, she chose the name "Phosphorus Fire". In fact, it was the first time she saw a ghost fire, and she was a little scared, but she became everyone's reliance immediately, so she had to force herself to restrain this fear , trying to appease everyone's emotions.

"It's easy to say, why don't you dare go up and have a look!" A young lady who often followed Zhao Tianran said, her voice was trembling, but she was still very mean.

"Shut up!" It was Zhao Tianran who stopped her by yelling.

"Let's go, let's go..." Another lady begged in a crying voice, she was terrified, what if the ghost suddenly flew over and ate people?But if everyone didn't leave, she didn't dare to leave by herself!

"Then I'll go and have a look!" Ding Qiyu hesitated for a while, and finally spoke again, why is there a phosphorus fire on the soil slope of the academy, could it be... Now that she met, she didn't want to let go of this clue.

"Qi Yu!" The two people in his arms and beside him shouted in unison, with worries in their voices.Lu Weixi and Yun Yi looked at each other, seeing Yun Yi hugging Ding Qiyu's arm, subconsciously frowned her beautiful eyebrows, she had no time to think about these things, turned her head to Ding Qiyu and said, "Don't go." Although she didn't believe in ghosts, But anyone who saw such a weird scene would be aroused with fear, so she was afraid that something would happen to Qi Yu.

"Hmm... don't go..." Yun Yi who was beside her also agreed.

Surrounded by the fragrance of his daughter's home, Ding Qiyu was a little embarrassed, thought for a moment, and said: "It's okay, the phosphorus fire is really just a natural phenomenon, I'll go and have a look, and I'll be right back." In case the officers and soldiers come again later, the phosphorus fire has disappeared what to do?Moreover, before it is found out, it is inconvenient to mobilize teachers and mobilize people.

Ding Qiyu let go of the hand protecting Wei Xi, and looked down at the arm held by Yun Yi in his arms. Amidst the embarrassment, he gave Yun Yi a reassuring smile: "It's okay, I'll be right back It's not a ghost, don't be afraid."
