Chapter 280 The mysterious magic school
China has produced a magical magic. And now, this magic is in the hands of a magical school?
This news instantly ignited the enthusiasm of a group of curiosity enthusiasts, and in a sense it also evoked their childhood memories, which can be seen from the comments below "Kunlun University"-
"Is there Harry Potter himself in that school?"
"@jkLorreen, have you discovered that there are magic schools in the world long ago? Does the prototype of Hogwarts originate from the East?"
"Jk Lorraine was threatened by unknowns in the East and dared not publish this matter. She can only tell us in novels..."
"But now it proves that that school really exists!"
This mindless action was of course bombarded by some book fans. After the author himself proved his innocence, Western netizens had to accept the fact that there is indeed magic in the world, but it has nothing to do with Britain, but in the distant East.
As the news broke, according to the big data of ancient song search, the search rate of "Kunlun University" soared ten thousand times in one day, and followed by keywords such as "cultivation of immortals", "spiritual energy", "Chinese legends" and other keywords.
Of course, many people are skeptical about this, believing that this is just a farce directed and acted by China. They cut the video of the Immortal Games and cut out various details to try to prove that this is just a special effect, but they were soon slapped in the face by those who were witnessing it in China.
Although some official media tried to refute the rumors, they still couldn't stop the trend from becoming more and more intense. Soon, their influence overflowed the circle of curiosity and fantasy lovers and began to affect the outside world's melon-eating crowd.
"The magic called 'cultivation of immortals' was born in China! And there are already universities in China that specialize in teaching this kind of magic!"
After the news was confirmed, it caused a stir among the people. But for this reason, the news began to change since then.
After many doubts, various speculations and conspiracy theories were prevalent. The entry of a large number of traffic directly raised this matter from entertainment news to politics, and overseas netizens were happy about it.
First of all, the political official account represented by the White House was captured. Netizens from overseas countries questioned the government's management of superpowers and aura below, and insisted that the government deliberately hid investigation data related to "magic".
They firmly stated that the government must have contacted the Magic Academy, but because they were afraid of exposure and caused public unrest, they had been hiding in the dark. But now for some reason, China has first broken this window paper.
In the discussion, from foreign media, this argument is quite marketable, and later it directly switched from online to offline, triggering several small parades in various states.
The scene was very chaotic. A group of people shouted the slogan of "Open Magic Academy", holding big signs with Yin-Yang Bagua symbols (this was copied from the site of the Immortal Games), walked through various government offices in a mighty manner, blocking the door and demanding that the government disclose the current real research progress of magic and aura to the public.
"The White House government must have been in touch with the world of magicians. They are secretly accumulating extraordinary powers to control the entire society."
One of the American marchers said sternly in an interview: "Our country can hold guns in order to allow the public to resist the government at any time. But now, except for guns, they have to monopolize a stronger force, and we must never let this happen."
This is a portrayal of many people in that parade. They wishfully thought that since China has such things, there is no reason in the West. If there is no one now, it must be intentionally hidden.
In this kind of thing, the Western people showed quite strong enthusiasm. The march and protest were just part of this enthusiasm, and the other part naturally focused on the exploration of "Oriental Magic" and "Kunlun University".
Within a few days, the ancient lyrics entries related to Chinese myths were browsing. This may be the first time that these Westerners were so enthusiastic about understanding the history of a civilization separated by the ocean.
After these people barely understood the concept of cultivating immortals, the enthusiasts turned their attention to Kunlun University itself.
In English-speaking countries, Chinese is a minor language, not many people have caught a cold. But now, these people feel unprecedented pride - because most of the related websites of Kunlun University only show in Chinese, they have become the first people to come into contact with "mysterious Eastern Magic".
Of course, just contact is not enough.
These enthusiasts first tried to find the application interface for Kunlun University, but failed; then searched for a list of schools that had cooperated with this school in the country, but also failed.
In the end, their minds finally turned around and understood that Chinese schools had to think in the way of China. So, after searching for the information source of Kunlun University, they finally rushed into the Chinese Ministry of Education website.
Soon, they found the enrollment brochure that Kunlun University used to be external, but the final search result surprised them and collapsed.
Surprisingly, this school is not a secret place independent of the mundane world and absorbs only some special bloodlines as it is written in the usual novel. According to the above, everyone can sign up, which gives them a glimmer of hope.
What’s broken is that the registration method of this school actually adopts the Chinese college entrance examination system!
Not to mention anything else, those who do not have Chinese nationality cannot even take the college entrance examination, which is equivalent to directly rejecting them... from outside the country.
"This kind of school will actually cooperate with the Chinese government!" a group of people gritted their teeth and said, "Impossible! This must be a conspiracy of the Chinese government!"
This dissatisfaction has led to another wave of bombardment by the Chinese authorities on the Internet. The Chinese authorities ignored this and watched the people jump quietly. In the end, this public opinion carnival was just stuck on the Internet, and it was so calm within the country.
In the end, their actions did not achieve any substantial results. And those who truly understood the actual situation were those who did not care about the world situation at the beginning, but focused on the knowledge related to "Kunlun University" and "cultivation of immortals".
Judging from the results, these people's exploration efficiency is quite high.
During this period, they figured out what breathing was (they thought it was the magic power that was called in the human body), what was a talisman (a magic ritual initiated with the help of special paper and stone carving medium), and what was a elixir (a solid state magic pill), and their eyes turned to the bibliography list released during the admissions of Kunlun University.
In the eyes of outsiders, this is a magic textbook published by Kunlun University, which naturally aroused the interest of a group of people.
For a time, the "Oriental Magic Ancient Book Deciphering Operation" was proposed online. There were a large number of participants, most of whom were fans of Chinese language and Chinese novels, and Susan, who was in Britain, was one of them.
"George, I found it!"
On this day, Susan in front of the computer raised her head excitedly and said to her younger brother George: "That school has made public the textbooks used in the school. We can learn their magic without going to China!"
As she said, she excitedly pointed to the "Tao Te Ching" displayed on the computer.
"I checked the information. This is an ancient Chinese book written thousands of years ago!" Susan said, "This is the designated book for their entrance examination, and this must be their magic record!"
"I have learned Chinese! I have learned Chinese too!" George hurriedly approached the computer, "I want to read together too."
"Come on." Susan rolled her eyes, "It's so difficult for Chinese to learn how long have you been learning?"
"I will say!" George blushed and was very dissatisfied, "Isn't it just... howl, boots, you..."
"It's 'hello', 'thank you'." Susan corrected his pronunciation with arrogance, "At this level, you must not understand it. Just sit next to you, I'll translate the content of the ancient book to you."
She was full of pride when she spoke. Chinese was her elective course in high school. Compared to George, a pure rookie, she had been studying for more than a year and often chatted with Chinese people on smalltalk and other software.
Although the word order is awkward, at least daily expression is fine. You can also read some of the simplest folk news. Many Chinese people I met praised her for saying "It's so good in Chinese."
Having such a Chinese level should be enough to read these ancient magic books, right?
With such pride, she, accompanied by George, opened the document called "Tao Te Ching" confidently. Then, the content of the "magic ancient books" they saw was-
"The Tao can be told, it is extraordinary; the name can be called, it is extraordinary.
Nameless, the beginning of heaven and earth, famous, and the mother of all things.
Therefore, we always have no desires to observe its wonderfulness, and always have desires to observe its confusion.
These two are named differently, and are called mysterious, mysterious and mysterious, and the door to all wonders.”
Susan: "..."
She opened the next page with a confused look on her face, and then she saw that-
"The Tao is over, but it is not full when used. It is abyss! It is like the root of all things. It is filing its tuition, resolving its turmoil, harmonizing its light, and being the dust. It is clear! It is like it is still there. I don't know whose son, the first emperor of Xiang..."
......
There are many Chinese enthusiasts like them who try to enter the "magic world". But within two days, the rushing "Oriental Magic Ancient Book Deciphering Operation" announced that it had fallen.
The reason is very simple: Damn, I really can't understand it!!
The "Magic Secret Book" was placed in front of me but could not be approached. It really made a group of fantasies scratch their heads, and even the Chinese teachers in the school were helpless.
In the end, they had to give up for a while and shifted all their attention to the "Immortal Games" that are now publicly public.
Because of this, my attention to the Immortal Games has always remained high. In the past few days, countless accounts on Weibo with overseas registration locations were only for the purpose of paying attention to topics such as "Immortal Games" and "Kunlun University".
The platform has imposed restrictions on these influx accounts and banned a lot, but it cannot stop the overseas IPs from coming in continuously. The official even considered establishing an external network firewall, but it was not reached in the end.
While civil forces are active, mainstream media are also taking action.
With the support of the government, Western media represented by Mi Yonhap News Agency and Lutos began to send additional personnel to China, using many former Olympic specialists.
It is worth mentioning that a well-known media started writing several articles trying to discredit China and the Immortal Games, but the government's actions have proved that countries are paying attention to this event, and several articles quickly slapped themselves in the face.
In the end, this action was seized by several of its competitive media, and specifically sang aloof with them, writing articles to promote the great significance of the Immortal Games, fighting a beautiful commercial news battle, which directly caused the media distribution volume at the beginning of B to drop by a percentage point, and subsequently had to be converted into objective reports.
During this turbulent period, the Chinese government has never made any public statements. A group of people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs took a rare leave, sitting upright on the side of the ocean, eating melons and smiling, letting the other side go in a mess.
In Ancheng, the individual stage of the Immortal Games is still in an orderly manner at my own pace. Without the storm outside, I remained unmoved and became more stable.
But under this, few people noticed that another change was happening.
......
Half a month passed quickly, and the entire Immortal Games competition has entered the final stage.
Seeing that there are fewer and fewer players in the individual competition, the remaining few players have become the focus of attention at home and abroad. After all, they represent the extraordinary highest realm that humans can touch today.
The news media about the contestants and the competition progress are refreshing. For Yang Xiaohe, this should have been her most concerned thing. But now, she can only lie on the hospital bed and think about it against the ceiling.
A week ago, she was confirmed as one of the people infected with Ancheng's heart disease. After being sent to the Reiki Department for isolation and observation for a few days, she temporarily suppressed the ominous force with her own thoughts, but the impact on her body and mind continued, and she still had to stay in the hospital bed.
A week has passed for such a boring day. But on this day, the ward welcomed two special "guests".
Squeak.
The sound of the door being pushed open attracted Yang Xiaohe's attention. She looked towards the ward door and saw two casual people walking in, standing on both sides like policemen.
The two were a man and a woman, and they seemed to be no older than her last year, and they were only eighteen or nineteen years old. After entering the house, the man stood aside and quietly watched her without saying a word. Instead, the girl came forward with a brilliant look on her face and acted to shake hands with her.
"Are you Yang Xiaohe from Ancheng No. 3 Middle School?"
"It's me..." Yang Xiaohe struggled to hold up, "You guys..."
"We are students from Kunlun University. We are involved in the investigation of Ancheng's heart disease. We are disturbing you."
