The Melancholy of the National Teacher

The great witch Fusang left behind the Sun Gold Medal, and the shaman who inherits the Sun Gold Medal can use the power of the sun, and is respected by the world as the Great Sun Witch.And 700 years ago, the world had another name for the Sun Witch, the Sun Emperor.

The shaman-ruled dynasty has been passed down for more than 400 years, and the confrontation between shamans and ordinary people has become more and more serious. In the end, civilian slaves rose up under the leadership of warriors.Facing the warriors who are good at martial arts and charged in formation, the little witch and most of the witches have no ability to resist. Although the big witch is not afraid, it is impossible to turn the tide in the face of the tilt of the balance.

The new Great Sun Witch surrendered to the Pingyuan Yun family and retreated to the Snowy Mountains of the White Continent.Under the threat of monsters, his descendants compromised with Daxueshan and built a star tower in Tianjing City. Daxueshan was asked to send a great witch to guard the star tower and the imperial capital.

It was the 13th year of Ming Yi, when countless witches and little witches descended to the Snowy Mountains to accept appointments from the imperial court to protect the land and water.

The last emperor of the Dazhong Dynasty died 21 years ago, and it was not until eight years ago that Le Dao, who emerged from among the overlords, ended the troubled times and founded Da'an, and the history of Sanliu entered a new chapter.

People living in this era naturally don't know that they will be a page to be turned. The story told by Helian Yu has already ended in the fragrant fish soup brought into the tent by the trembling female slave.

The darkness in the tent startled the female slave. Ulun, who was still immersed in the story, watched Helianyu flick his fingers, and the scarlet light flashed on the bone on the big witch's chest. Burn it all at once.

The female slave who was carrying the fish soup still didn't dare to advance or retreat, He Lianyu said: "Light the lamp, it doesn't matter if the curtains are drawn."

The female slaves said hello, one went to draw the curtains, and the other knelt down in front of one big and one small with a silver plate of fish soup.

The curtains were opened, and Ulun realized that Sunita had already entered the night. Hungry, he looked at the big fish on the silver plate in admiration.It was as long as his leg, and the whole fish was immersed in the snow-white fish soup, which was fragrant with fennel and cinnamon.

"The master ordered this to be given to you," said the slave girl, and her companion put down the meatloaf and bread, as well as the honey and fruit, and withdrew together.

Uren has already picked up the chopsticks.

"Wait." Helian Yu said.

Uren glared at him. Anything that came between him and the food was his enemy.

Helian Yu didn't speak, but took out a wine sac mixed with poison-delaying medicine, Ulun's face collapsed when he saw this, the smelly and bitter taste of this medicine is really fresh in people's memory.

But Wu Lun obviously couldn't refuse, when he frowned and swallowed the medicinal wine, Helian Yu had already soaked the bone pieces in the fish soup for a while while he was not paying attention.

It didn't change color, the big witch glanced at it, and said in a low voice: "Eat quickly."

It is impossible for the class to be suspended just because of the arrival of night. After the female slave removed the bowls and chopsticks, Ulun, who was so dizzy and wanted to sleep on the carpet, was woken up by Helian Yu with ice cubes.He didn't expect to find that when he was a teacher, the gentleness on the surface of Master Da'an disappeared like foam in water.He Lianyu's requirements for students can be said to be harsh. Ulun, who was so sore with a carving knife to carve characters on the bamboo slips, thought that maybe the great witch used him as a comparison, and didn't realize that there is such a thing as goodness besides goodness. Evaluation, let alone passing grades.

Uren can't be said to be a bad student, his mother also taught him to write, but his mother will not be like Helian Yu, who has requirements on the length of the hook on the horizontal hook.

"Actually, it's better to practice this from the beginning of learning to write," Helian Yu held up the bright light bead to show him during the rest of the second day. Thin and zigzag lines, "The sale of bright light beads can be said to be the source of money for the stars and all witches. The more sunlight they store, the more expensive the bright light beads are. The quality of a bright light pearl is determined by the size of the pearl. , and Wu's technique...for example, this one has a lot of mistakes in the lines on it."

What else could Uren say?He is not a person who does not know what is good or bad, and the strict requirements of Da'an Guoshi at this moment are obviously for his own good.

"The power of a witch comes from the heart," Helian Yu taught him, "Close your eyes and sink your mind into the unknown abyss. There is the source of the power of a witch. What do you see?"

"I didn't see anything."

Helian Yu was not surprised by this answer.

"It's okay, let's continue."

On the third night they talked about witchcraft again.

"The three major sorcery, psychic psychic, all-encompassing, Fusang Pearl. There is no need to learn psychic, because it is born to understand after becoming a little witch. The so-called psychic is the one who wanders between the sky and the earth. Wind spirits and water spirits, wood spirits and fire spirits, spirits of the earth, spirits of ghosts and gods, witches have different dispositions, and the matching spirits are also different, and the ability to borrow power is the real psychic art."

"There are two exceptions." Helian Yu knew what Ulun wanted to ask with a glance, "One is the great sun witch, whose power to drive the sunlight comes from the sun gold medal. And the black witch, the talent of the black witch in psychic work is too great. Weak, you can only drive the spirits of heaven and earth by communicating with the spirits of demons, or using the bones of demons as a medium."

"So, the bone is to the Dark Witch what the Sun Gold Medal is to the Sun Witch."

Uren Road.

The child just said something casually, and once again fell into the study of sensing the spirit of heaven and earth.He didn't see it, but upon hearing his words, He Lianyu raised his hand and lightly touched his forehead covered by the bird's skull.

***

On the slope of Erlong Mountain, which is only a few tens of miles away from the Sunita black market in Qiongshui, the snow-covered slope covered with stars and eighteen poor Feiyan guards entered a hidden cave consecutively.

The snow has stopped for the past few days, but the weather has become colder. The wind blows, like a bowl-sized snowball hitting a person's face. It is good to have the sun during the day, but the snow-capped mountains at night are simply not a place for people to stay.

The Feiyan guards silently roasted their sleeve crossbows frozen in the bonfire, boiled snow water, and sharpened their knives on the sandstone in the cave. The sound echoed in the cave, which was creepy to hear.

The sound obviously did not frighten Xue Manpo.

The former national teacher stood barefoot outside the cave, looking up at the sky. The clear weather made the stars on the night sky extraordinarily clear, twinkling big and small, as if a god was watching the sleeping people on the ground with gentle eyes.

The servant returning from collecting firewood passed by him and was about to enter the cave when he heard Xue Manpo say: "1000 years ago, there were no stars in the sky of Sanliu."

The servant just wanted to pretend that he didn't hear anything, and went into the cave to the campfire, and stayed with his colleagues, but his bad luck always implicated him again, Xue Manpo turned his head and said to him : "My lord, let's talk to an old man."

Xue Manpo is indeed an old man, he is over 40 years old, few common people can live to this age.And Xue Manpo, supported by her powerful spiritual power, made herself appear to be in her thirties at most, but she couldn't hide the creases creeping up from the corners of her eyes.

A flying swallow guard came out of the cave, took the firewood from the servant's hand, gave him a look to make him cautious, and then retreated into the cave.

The waiter could only answer: "What do you want to say?"

"You say, what kind of star will I become after I die?" Xue Manpo asked.

This question stunned the waiter for a moment.

1000 years ago, Sanlu was shrouded in darkness, there was no sun or stars in the sky, the great witch Fusang and his cremation turned into the sun, and every great witch who died in the past 1000 years turned into stars. bright sky.

"Probably a very bright and large star." The waiter replied.

"There is no star brighter than the sun, and no star is bigger than the sun." Xue Manpo looked away, "The power of the sun is really fascinating."

"Yes." The waiter perfunctory.

"I really want to go to thousands of years ago to see what kind of person the great witch Fusang is, or to meet the great sun witch. Unfortunately, the great sun witch Naren died five years ago. She has never set foot in Zhonglu, and I have never been to Qinglu before. , when Emperor Chongai asked Qinglu to offer a proton, why did Helian Yu come instead of her?"

"It is a pity."

The servant, who was still perfunctory, thought that if the national teacher found out about Xue Manpo's plan, this person might really return to Styx. After all, the national teacher was the one who beat the emperor for his sister.

"Actually, I've always wondered," Xueman said, "after Helian Naren's death, who actually got the Sun Gold Medal?"

"Naren Khan died in Daxueshan, so the Sun Gold Medal is naturally in Daxueshan."

"No, no, I think, the talents of a pair of twins must not be so different, right? Although Helian Yu can't become the Great Sun Witch, it doesn't mean that he can't accept the Sun Gold Medal. Back then and I This little junior has already seen his audacity when he was studying at Xingtai, so it can be inferred from the facts that the Sun Gold Medal must be in the hands of the person who killed Helen Naren."

"The national teacher did not kill Naren Khan."

Xue Manpo, who did not expect to be refuted, turned her eyes back to the servant's face.

The black scarf covered half of the servant's face, Xue Manpo could only see the servant's eyes, the brown eyes were as clear as amber, and inside were the unique reluctance to admit defeat that belonged to young people.

"Then let's make a bet, young man," Xueman said, "wait a few more days, everything will be ready, and it will be obvious whether the Sun Gold Medal is on Helian Yu's body or not." After saying this He continued to look up at the stars, "I originally wanted him to die in Yunping. For Helian Yu, it would be a good thing to return to his homeland before death, but it is not bad to die in Qiongshui. My hometown is only a step away, but I can never return, my soul wanders in the wilderness, sighing with sorrow... I feel happy in my heart."

In the end, Xue Manpo's voice was too low to be heard, and the servant took advantage of his distraction to return to the cave quietly, and did not hear the last mutter full of malice.

"What kind of star will Helian Yu become after death?"

On the fourth day, it snowed again.

Accompanied by milk tea, milk cake, finger meat with a layer of coarse salt, and wild vegetables marinated in a jar, Helian Yu said to Wu Lun: "Today you can try Luo Tian Wan Xiang."
