The palindromic set is small, and there is only a short, narrow street.

After going around the bazaar, saying hello to the neighbors, and returning to the Sanyou Book House, it only took Zheng Qing more than half an hour.

"It's a short street. Zheng Qing sighed: "When I was a child, I thought that this street was very long, running around, as if there would never be an end." ”

"Long and short, big and small, are all relative. Deng Xiaoxian said thoughtfully: "In addition, most wizards have a sharper spiritual sense than adults when they are young, and they can see through the truth behind the fog more clearly. ”

"Fog, real?" Zheng Qing suddenly became interested: "Is there any other story behind this street?"

As he spoke, he looked around and his gaze slid over the ancient plaques.

Deng Xiaoxian didn't answer him directly to this question, but asked promptly: "What do you think the huizi set looks like?"

"It's like a hollow word. Zheng Qing replied with a cold joke-like answer.

Deng Xiaoxian's face suddenly fell.

"Just kidding, just kidding. Zheng Qing waved his hand and re-guessed with a smile: "Like the school's promenade around the lake?" or like a horse's hoof?...... Are there any hints. ”

"Like what an animal. Deng Xiaoxian added a hint.

Zheng Qing's brows furrowed.

He stretched out his fingers, circled in mid-air, drew a few times, then hesitated, and replied in a low voice, "Ouroboros?"

"Bingo!" Deng Xiaoxian snapped his fingers and continued to prompt: "What does Ouroboros represent?"

"Immortality, circulation, infinity. Zheng Qing replied immediately.

Because Seprano's society is symbolized by the Ouroboros, Zheng Qing once made a point of learning about this mysterious magical creature. Therefore, there was no hesitation about Deng Xiaoxian's question.

"Huh!" the young owner of the Rejuvenation Hall raised his eyebrows: "I feel a little underestimated of you...... So then, you associate this totem with a set of palindromic characters, can you guess anything?"

Zheng Qing did not give an answer this time.

His intuition told him that the answer to this question was not simple.

Deng Xiaoxian waited for a while, and found that Zheng Qing was just staring at him, and didn't seem to have any intention of answering, so he couldn't help laughing: "Actually, I'm also hearsay, I'll say it, you can listen to it...... Don't take it seriously. ”

"Some people say that the small circle of Hui Zi Ji is actually a long river of time that has been intercepted by people with great mana. Many old people who have not yet surpassed time and have stepped into the tail of the legend will choose to 'continue their lives' in the collection of words, in order to have the opportunity to take the next step in the legend in the future. ”

Hearing this, Zheng Qing originally wanted to interject and ask, but he endured it and swallowed the question back.

Deng Xiaoxian continued: "Some people also say that the huizi set is actually built on the remains of an ancient Ouroboros, and as long as you stay on this street, you can simulate the talent of Ouroboros to a certain extent...... Immortal, cyclical, infinite. ”

"In short, there are a lot of rumors, but there are no real hammers. ”

"The only thing that can confirm these rumors is that there are many old wizards on the street, all of whom are very old...... It's just that no one has investigated how old they are. It's not good to ask this kind of thing directly. ”

"You are the grandson of Old Mr. Deng, didn't he tell you?" Zheng Qing finally couldn't help it and asked.

"You are a disciple of Mr. Wu, did he tell you?" Deng Xiaoxian asked rhetorically.

"It's different. The young public scholarship student's expression froze, and then he muttered in a low voice: "You are also related by blood." ”

Deng Xiaoxian shook his head disapprovingly: "For wizards, the relationship of blood is not necessarily closer than the relationship between master and apprentice. Many times, shamans will pass on their wealth to their disciples, but not to their families. ”

Zheng Qing felt that it was difficult for him to understand the thoughts of those wizards.

But he didn't dwell on that, he had another question that he cared about.

"Is the 'legend' you just mentioned the rank behind the Great Wizard?" he asked, a little curious.

"Don't you know?" Deng Xiaoxian was a little surprised: "Ordinary wizards, registered wizards, great wizards, legendary wizards, ancient wizards...... This general division is common sense. ”

"I really didn't know before you said that. Zheng Qing honestly admitted.

"I don't know what you studied in college. Deng Xiaoxian shook his head, did not continue this slightly curious topic, but took out his pocket watch and glanced at it: "Well, it's not too early, I'm going back to dispense medicine quickly." ”

Zheng Qing also took out his pocket watch and looked at it, there were still more than two hours before the deadline for his mother to go home.

"Ah...... Let's do something about it. The young wizard stood at the door of the bookstore, scratching his head, his eyes wandering between the bookshelf and the black door behind the house: "Do you want to read a book for a while, or go to the front store to invite Brother Huang back and watch TV with it?" Hmm, I feel that watching TV is more attractive...... However, the cartoons that Brother Huang watched were a bit too old-fashioned...... I don't know how many channels its small TV can browse, and if there are any good movies. ”

"Hey, I said, the vacation is so short, aren't you going to hurry up and stay home a little longer?...... Why do you want to spend time outside?" At the door of the neighboring store, Deng Xiaoxian, who had already stepped into the Rejuvenation Hall with half of his body, tilted his head to look at Zheng Qing and asked in surprise.

Zheng Qing immediately became depressed.

"I don't know. He replied with a dejected expression: "Before I went home, I thought I was homesick...... But when I came back, I found that there seemed to be an invisible gap between me and my family. ”

"I don't know if it's because of the difference between my wizarding identity and my family's identity as Bai Ding, or if it's just because of the different generations that there is a generation gap. ”

Deng Xiaoxian glanced at the young wizard with emotion: "Hmm, you have reached such an age...... I think that when I went back to the street and was uncomfortable, didn't you always understand why? ”

"Not really. Zheng Qing looked at the young owner of the Rejuvenation Hall with a blank eye: "I feel like I just don't want to go home to work, and there is no comparison with your perverted behavior before." ”

The corners of Deng Xiaoxian's mouth twitched, and he pulled out the foot that had originally stepped into the threshold, and turned to look at Zheng Qing.

"I'm giving you a chance to reorganize the language. He lifted his arm, pulled the long lock of hair from his forehead to the top of his head, then rolled up his sleeves and looked at the young man across from him with burning eyes.

Zheng Qing estimated that he wanted to beat people.

"Ahem...... I mean, I've been in the wizarding world for a bit of a short time, and I haven't gotten used to it yet, you know. Zheng Qing coughed dryly, decisively changed his tone, and then wanted to explain in a cover-up manner: "If you introduce me a little more information about the first university before I enter the school, it will be very helpful for me to get through this adaptation period." ”

"For example, you could tell me that elves are harmless alchemical creatures that do no harm to wizards;"

"Or, don't drop something into the lake, where the fish will snatch it...... It's all small details that don't matter, right. ”

Deng Xiaoxian looked at Zheng Qing with his nostrils and looked at it for dozens of seconds before he replied slowly: "Small details, yes...... It doesn't matter, but not necessarily. Like I told you before...... All of these encounters are one of the most interesting parts of your school life. If every bit of the unknown you encounter in school becomes known, wouldn't life be a lot less fun?"

"I don't need so many unknowns in my life. Zheng Qing complained complainingly, but he didn't know what he thought, and his mood suddenly fell.

Deng Xiaoxian blinked and smiled: "For example, the final exam results?"

"Ah, yes, there's a final exam. Thinking of his final exam results, Zheng Qing suddenly had a headache, and muttered worriedly: "It's really impossible for people to take a good vacation...... I still don't understand why the school can't just send our transcripts to the pillow in the letter......"

Immediately, he realized that the report card was released at the time of the Lantern Festival, and by that time, he had already returned to school.

Thinking that he didn't need to explain his subjects and grades to his family, the young wizard's heart was a little lighter.

"Does the school still use pets to give you grades?" Deng Xiaoxian showed a somewhat nostalgic expression on his face, but turned his nose up at Zheng Qing's worries: "Only nerds and sycophants care about the report card...... Oh, by the way, you're also a 'nerd'...... Sorry, didn't mean to laugh at you. ”

Zheng Qing glanced at Deng Xiaoxian expressionlessly.

He definitely did it on purpose.
