The Forbidden Demon Festival is a traditional festival for shamans, which is generally held one hundred days after the winter solstice and one week before the Qingming Festival. According to this standard, this year's Forbidden Demon Festival falls on March 28, which is three weeks away, almost a month.

In other words, there is still plenty of time, and Zheng Qing has enough time to mentally prepare for this outing.

In contrast, the daily study that is gradually getting on track puts more pressure on him.

Maybe the school thinks that the students have passed the adaptation stage of the first semester of their freshman year, maybe it is because of the promotion exam that will be held in less than half a year, or it may be that the conflicts between student clubs make the professors feel that everyone has too much time.

In short, just two weeks after the start of the second semester, Zheng Qing felt a huge pressure to study.

On the one hand, the learning content has become more difficult, for example, subjects such as charms and magic literature have begun to detach themselves from actual incantations and other content, and teach some very theoretical things. For most people, including Zheng Qing, this kind of course is more terrifying than hypnotic spells. What's even more terrifying is that if you get a little distracted in class, you won't understand what the professor is talking about at all.

On the other hand, extracurricular tasks have become more onerous. Less than a month after the start of school, the students had already received three papers, four experimental reports, nine test papers, and a number of after-class exercises—the most regrettable thing for Zheng Qing was the Yuren lingua franca he had chosen.

It's simply the devil.

Of course, compared to other students, Zheng Qing was lucky, because of his profound attainments in Fu Zhengxue, Lecturer Zhang had nothing more to teach him, so Zheng Qing could divert a lot of his energy from this course to other aspects.

For example, divination.

As Professor Yao mentioned earlier when he sorted out the nature of magic, in a broad sense, divination is a linear analysis of dimensions, and in a narrow sense, divination is an analysis of the 'timeline' of a particular dimension.

In the first year of university, Zheng Qing and others were able to come into contact with divination in the narrow sense, and the practical methods related to it. Things like smoke divination, tarot card analysis, astrological divination, and the 'trend divination' that they will officially teach next semester, and so on.

"I know everything...... But why do you want to bring a weekly diary?" Zheng Qing sat in his seat, shook the notebook in his hand, and was puzzled by Professor Yi's request: "To be reasonable, we are taking a divination class instead of holding a regular class meeting!"

"This is what Professor Yi requested. Downton held the clipboard, stood beside the public scholarship student, and poked his head to look at the notebook in Zheng Qing's hand: "So, you brought a weekly notebook, right?" ”

It's March 3rd, and it's the Tuesday of the third week of the second semester.

As in the previous semester, Tuesday morning was a divination class, still in Room 1001, East Annex, School Building.

At a quarter of eight o'clock in the morning, less than fifteen minutes before class, the classroom was already full of students. It's just that everyone is not bustling with each other, but they are all buried in their voices, or doing homework, or making up for sleep. This disappointed the stick figure figure behind the door.

It has been counting on the students to bring it some fun.

As the president of the Astronomy 08-1 class, Downton has always been the link between professors and students. What orders the professor needs to convey to the students, and what the students need to feedback to the professor, most of them are practiced through the middle of the Tang class leader.

Just like today's divination class, Professor Yi asked all students to bring their 'weekly notebooks' to class before class, so before class, Downton checked them one by one to make sure everyone brought them.

The so-called 'weekly diary' is a diary that Professor Yao asks everyone to write every week on the first day of school, covering daily life, mood, feelings, and so on. In the early days, Yao also asked some of the students to read their weekly diaries aloud from the podium.

This requirement has continued until now, and it will be checked at every regular meeting - just last weekend, because he forgot to write it, Zheng Qing frantically wrote one before the regular meeting.

Seeing Downton's head stretched out, Zheng Qing raised the notebook in his hand and muttered, "I brought it...... But you haven't told me what you want this thing for. ”

"It is said to have something to do with the new divination that I am going to learn today," Downton grabbed a quill, ticked a mark on the notepad, and then turned to the next classmate, reminding him before leaving, "You can ask the Doctor about this? ”

When Zheng Qing heard this, he tilted his head and glanced at Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao rolled her eyes and snorted, "I don't know, I'm too lazy to say, don't ask me...... Can't you just do a pre-class prep?"

Zheng Qing flipped through the "Basic Easy Learning: First Year of University (Volume II)" in his hand, and saw the complicated terms, large text explanations, and dazzling charts on it, and immediately closed the textbook again.

"Hmm, no hurry...... Anyway, the professor will tell us right away. He explained his actions in a serious tone.

Xiao Xiao tried very hard to hold back from pasting the notebook in his hand on Zheng Qing's face.

Zheng Qing's prediction this time was very accurate - perhaps this is one of the few things he can predict accurately, and after the class, Professor Yi easily mentioned the role of the weekly diary:

"As I mentioned in the first divination lesson, any kind of divination needs to be fueled by a huge amount of information resources. And the 'trend divination' that you are about to learn today takes up resources from these weekly diaries. ”

The professor stepped down from the podium, stood beside Li Meng's desk, picked up the little witch's pink weekly diary, and ignored Li Meng's pale face, and only cared about teaching at his own pace:

"What is a trend?"

"The trend is the direction in which things are going. It's just that this direction is not clear enough, it is still very vague, and it is volatile and uncertain...... Sound familiar?"

In a sense, divination is the study of 'precise trends'!"

"In the past, the divination we learned tended to be precise, to divination for other people, or for certain things. But trend divination is different. ”

"Trend divination is mainly applicable to the divination of the wizard's own future, and this kind of divination is a vague divination, and the wizard can only get the approximate fortune from this divination, and it is difficult to be accurate to a certain thing or person. ”

"Open the textbook, chapter 2, section 1. ”

"To learn trend divination, we first learn how to make charts based on this divination. Although the description in the book may seem complicated, I can responsibly tell you that this is the easiest divination method that you can learn and master in your four years of college. ”

"It requires the least amount of talent from you. ”

"The only thing that is needed is a little patience and your instincts as wizards. ”
