Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 58 058: Folklore

When Lin Beixuan returned to school, it was already daybreak. It was impossible for him to rest now because he had classes in the morning.

After parting with Liu Fei, Lin Beixuan bought a few baskets of buns on the street and carried them to the dormitory.

He hasn't been back to the dormitory for a few days, and he thinks his sons will miss him as a father.

Along the way, I met many handsome men and beautiful women who got up early for a morning jog. Each of them had a tall and proud figure, and was brimming with youthful vitality.

Isn't it said that college students are best at staying up late? Why are they all so eager to get up early and exercise?

Lin Beixuan brushed past these people with slow and leisurely steps. His lazy look made him look somewhat out of place.

When he returned to the dormitory, he was surprised to find that several of his roommates had already gotten up and started to wash up. Cheng Hao was even standing in front of the mirror, applying hair oil on his head with an expression that said, "This guy is so handsome."

Putting the breakfast on the table, Lin Beixuan asked in surprise, "Why did you get up and dress up so early today? Did a beautiful senior want to meet you guys for a social gathering?"

"No, senior, but our class recently got a new substitute teacher. I heard she's pretty." Cheng Hao grabbed the bun on the table and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Substitute teacher? How come I don't know?"

"The teacher sent it to the group last night and tagged everyone, but you didn't read it."

"……Forehead."

Lin Beixuan took out his mobile phone and opened the class group. Sure enough, there was a special notification from the teacher, and the new substitute teacher was teaching the Chinese studies class this morning.

"By the way, the physical examination is scheduled for this Friday, don't forget it."

"Friday!"

Lin Beixuan raised his eyebrows, not expecting it to come so soon.

This time, the physical examination at the University of Los Angeles came very suddenly, especially since the physical examination was just conducted before enrollment this year. There was no reason for the school to go through the trouble of conducting another physical examination.

Considering that Los Angeles University had passed through the secular world several times in just one month, he wondered if it had something to do with this.

He went to the washroom to wash his face, and only went to the classroom with Cheng Hao and others after they had finished cleaning up.

Chinese studies is a required course at the University of Los Angeles, regardless of your major, and there is an exam at the end of the semester.

The school even hired several teachers for this course, fearing that there would be too many classes to handle.

When they arrived at the classroom, there were already quite a few people sitting inside. The bell hadn't rung yet, so most people were playing with their phones or daydreaming.

Lin Beixuan found a seat at the back and sat down. Not long after, he saw a tall, beautiful and elegant woman walk in as the bell rang.

Is this the beautiful teacher that Cheng Hao mentioned?

The moment he saw the other person, he could clearly feel the purple jade gourd hanging around his neck shaking slightly twice.

He took the purple jade gourd out of the bracelet at Maru's antique stall. Even Maru himself didn't know that there was a secret hidden in the bracelet. For Lin Beixuan, the purple jade gourd was a prop for him to avoid the detection of the worldly people around him, but it seems that there is more to it than that.

The panel's evaluation of the purple jade gourd is very vague, with only one paragraph of comments.

'The pure air of heaven nourishes all things, and goodness is conceived in the gourd. Seven fruits on a vine, what does it matter if they fall into the mud?'

So Lin Beixuan initially thought of wearing this thing as an ornament to avoid detection, but he didn't expect that when he saw the new substitute teacher today, he suddenly reacted.

This shows what?
Lin Beixuan gently stroked the purple jade gourd with his fingertips. When he looked at the substitute teacher again, his eyes had changed slightly.

The other party is also a secular boy!
Only this answer makes sense.

Otherwise, why did so many students in the class not react, but did when the substitute teacher came?
"Hello everyone, I am your new substitute Chinese studies teacher, Mu Jinyu. Please take good care of me in the future!"

Mu Jinyu smiled and raised the textbook in her hand and put it on the table.

At this moment, someone in the audience immediately started to make a noise, shouting for the teacher's contact information, Cheng Hao was the loudest. Lin Beixuan covered his forehead, really dared to add anyone!
Mu Jinyu ignored the students' booing and waited until everyone quieted down before starting the class. She didn't seem to have any intention of building a good relationship with the students.

"In today's class, I will not talk about what is in the book, but will help you get familiar with a word."

"Folk customs!" Mu Jinyu wrote two big words on the blackboard.

The handwriting is light and elegant, grand yet soft, as if written by a great calligrapher. One can see the extraordinary nature of the writing from these two short words.

Nowadays, there are very few girls who can write such beautiful characters, and they are about folk customs. The fonts perfectly show the mystery and charm of folk customs.

Lin Beixuan held his chin and listened quietly to Mu Jinyu talking on the podium.

"Folk custom, I guess many people don't know much about these two words. At most, they only occasionally see them in music or some short videos. Some people have never even heard of them."

“Folklore is the soul of a nation’s culture. It carries many things, including beliefs, customs, and wisdom…”

"What I want to talk about today is customs!"

Mu Jinyu's voice is very pleasant and can make people addicted to it without them noticing. When she speaks, even those students who usually love to sleep in class start to listen attentively.

"Ancient folk customs seem mysterious and strange to modern people, because we have never seen many of them with our own eyes, but only heard them passed down by word of mouth from the elders."

"Why do we have to offer sacrifices to the Kitchen God during the Little New Year? The Kitchen God can only be taken down when the yellow paper is burnt out, and the boy under his seat records good and evil deeds, and we need to burn three or two sticks of incense in front of the stove?

Why do we stay up all night on New Year's Eve? Why do we light candles to illuminate the passing of time and light fires to ward off evil spirits?
The bodies that have sunk into the lake cannot be retrieved easily, and the coffins that have been hung and buried are not buried in the ground..."

"These are all about etiquette and taboos!"

Mu Jinyu's voice was not loud, but it could be heard clearly by everyone. After the whole class, no one felt bored and everyone listened with great interest.

It was not until the end of get out of class and Mu Jinyu walked out of the classroom that Cheng Hao could not help but stick his head in front of Lin Beixuan and ask him if he wanted to go to the Internet cafe together to learn about folk customs.

Lin Beixuan rolled his eyes at Cheng Hao. How could he not know what the other party was really thinking? He shook his head decisively to refuse.

"You go if you want to. I still have to watch the store today."

"Damn, this is happening again, what a bummer!"

Lin Beixuan was too lazy to pay attention to this rich young man. After accompanying him out of the classroom, he parted ways with Cheng Hao on the street.

Mu Jinyu's sudden appearance today served as a reminder to Lin Beixuan. Combined with the various things that had happened at Los Angeles University during this period, he vaguely discovered that something was wrong at Los Angeles University.

With so many secular people gathered here and the frequent crossings, this lake, which should have been full of youth and activity, gradually became deep and gloomy.

"If something goes wrong, there are tall people to support it. What am I doing here with my imagination?"

Lin Beixuan made a pooh sound and headed towards Fu Sheng Market.

He had classes in the morning, so Huang Shifu opened the shop during the morning, and he had to go back to take care of the afternoon.

After handing over the business to the other party, Lin Beixuan sat behind the counter to look after the store and took the opportunity to count the profits made during this period.

The time lasted until the evening, during which time Liu Fei transferred the remuneration to his card, a total of 50,000 yuan.

When Lin Beixuan received the news of the deposit, his face was full of smiles. In less than a week, most of the money he earned from buying the convenience store was returned.

"If you need help with something like last night in the future, remember to call me again."

Lin Beixuan sent a message to Liu Fei, and without caring whether the other party replied or not, he closed the door of the convenience store and walked into the cubicle.

It's almost time to enter the secular world.
