The light from the people is always bright 1 world-weary chapter

Xuegong, you can just settle down here, there should be no danger.At the time of You, Sitan Academy will cast an enchantment to prevent outsiders from entering. Gu Chen and I should arrive at Sitan Academy before Youshi, and we will not send you off. "Chu Yan said in a respectful tone, but with a cold attitude, which made people look a little uncomfortable.

"Okay, thank you, Daoist." After finishing speaking, the group continued to move forward, and Chu Yan was about to take Gu Chen to the Sitan Academy.

Inn.

Mrs. Gu opened some rooms, took care of the servants, and went to see Mr. Gu again.

"Master, Chen'er follows that Daoist Chu, and he thinks he can become a talent. It happens that this place is close to Sitan Palace, and Chen'er can come back whenever he wants. It is also a good choice to settle down here."

"Madam, why did you let Chen'er pay homage to such a master, but the laughing stock of the world... How could Chen'er learn well? I disagreed at the time, you insisted on dragging Chen'er over..."

"Master, this statement is wrong. Then Chu Yan singled out the ten elders of Sitan Palace. Now he has no disciples under his sect, so he just concentrates on teaching Chen'er to become a talent."

"Confused...you shouldn't...how can you learn well..."

On the second day, Sitan Academy.

"Master, try it. I just learned it, and I don't know if it's delicious." Early in the morning, Gu Chen walked to Chu Yan's study with a bowl of porridge and a plate of dim sum.He had already changed into the student uniform of the academy according to the law. He was dressed in white with a pattern like strands of red flames, and the totem of the Sitan Academy was embroidered on the cuffs of both sleeves.Chu Yan said that he doesn't have to be restrained in the Hall of Soul Whispers, and he really is not restrained at all.

"Let's put it down. It takes three days to memorize the Heart Sutra. I will test it after three days. If you can't memorize it, copy it down."

"Ah... Master, the Heart Sutra... so many, how can I memorize it in three days... Why don't I get familiar with the school and the school rules in the past few days, and then memorize it in a few days..."

"Well, I'll give you a day to familiarize yourself with the academy, and you'll have an exam in four days." Seeing that Gu Chen lowered his head and seemed a little unhappy, Chu Yan explained, "You haven't been exposed to these things since you were a child, if you want to reach the same level in a relatively short period of time To achieve the same effect as others, you need to work harder than others.”

"Then... alright." He said so, but in fact, how could he not recite this simple Heart Sutra.

As Gu Chen said, he put down the food in his hands, and turned his head to go to the study to find the Heart Sutra.

"It's not good, it's not good! Little Elder, the palace master asked me to come to you, and said it was... that something happened to the Gu family!"

"What happened?! What happened?!" Gu Chen pulled up the disciple's collar, "What happened to the Gu family?!"

"There was an accident at the inn where the Gu family stayed last night. The whole family of the Gu family was killed, even the owner of the inn escaped!" The disciple stared at the crazy Gu Chen and said in a panic.

Gu Chen slumped on the ground, looking nothing like a 16-year-old boy, his eyes were red and his face was pale.

"Gu Chen...you..." Chu Yan wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know what to say, what to say...

"Master... my family...why is something going wrong suddenly... why?!... something going wrong..." Gu Chen's last words were so low that even he himself could hardly hear them.

"Let's go, go and have a look, find out the murderer behind the scenes, and let him go to confess the crime on July [-]th."

"...Okay..." Gu Chen's trembling voice rang in Chu Yan's ear.

At the inn, a group of school disciples had already arrived first, all dressed in school uniforms, while the two elders who accompanied them wore elder clothes, the standard look of a fortune teller, and it was precisely because of this that Chu Yan was unwilling Wearing elder clothes, but wearing white clothes.

Gu Chen rushed over recklessly, and asked a senior disciple: "Where is my father?...Master Gu, where is it..." His eyes were red, and he completely lost the kind and gentle look of the past.

The disciple pointed to the corpse covered with white silk beside him, but said nothing.

Gu Chen knelt down slowly, uncovered the white silk cloth, and a familiar face appeared in front of his eyes. The father who loved him and cherished him in the past, and wanted him to be carefree every day in every possible way, now lay lifelessly on him in front of.He slowly uncovered another white silk cloth, it was... Mrs. Gu...

He weakly called out: "Father...Mother..." He hoped that the person in front of him could smile at him, talk to him heart-to-heart, and tell him to eat like before.

"Gu..." Chu Yan wanted to comfort him, but felt that it was inappropriate to call him that way, and would appear to have no "intimacy", so he said, "Mu Han... my condolences will change." Think of such a word.

Gu Chen nodded slightly, but tears fell silently like broken beads.Now it is like a child who has fallen down, crying, waiting for an elder to comfort him.

"Palace Master, Wu Zuo said that it was an evil spirit that killed him. What exactly is the evil spirit is still investigating..."

"There's no need to investigate. It's the evil spirits of Chong'an City. They followed us all the way, and they still started." A young disciple was reporting to the palace master, when Chu Yan interrupted him mercilessly, "This evil spirit should be the one who moved this morning. Otherwise, the Gu family members we saw today should be alive and well. In our opinion, they will live as well as before tomorrow morning, but tomorrow night, the day they died will be repeated. What happened at night. So..."

"So the evil spirits are still possessing these corpses. If you want to take the opportunity to kill these evil spirits, you must burn these corpses as soon as possible." Palace Master Liu Mo also interrupted Chu Yan.

Hearing these words, Gu Chen turned his head to Chu Yan and Liu Mo who were standing side by side, staring at Liu Mo fiercely with his red eyes.

"Come on,... let's do it..." Liu Mo ordered.

"Don't, don't!" Gu Chen grabbed his parents' cold hands and shouted at the disciples like crazy, "Let go... let go..."

"Palace Master's order, please let go." One of the disciples said, pulling Gu Chen's hand away.

Gu Chen turned his head and knelt down to Chu Yan, clutching his skirt tightly with both hands, kowtowed, louder and louder each time, and said in a trembling voice: "Master... let them let my family go... ...Master...Master...Please...that's my family, I only have them left, Master..."

Gu Chen kept talking, but Chu Yan didn't respond, his heart turned half cold in an instant, he stood up and grabbed Liu Mo's collar: "It's all you! My family is dead, why do you want to do this! Why!" The red eyes stared fiercely at Liu Mo's delicate face, the current Gu Chen is a complete lunatic.

"Article [-] of the gate rules of the Sitan Academy, the disciples of the Sitan Academy are not allowed to collide with the palace master and elders; the third article of the Palace Rules of the Soul Language Palace is that the disciples of the Hall of Soul Words are not allowed to collide with disciples and elders." Gu Chen finally waited until Chu Yan spoke. , but did not expect this to be the case.

"Come here, take him down, bring him to the Hall of Soul Whispers, don't let him out without my permission!" Chu Yan had never used such a fierce tone to Gu Chen.

"Yes." The two disciples under the palace lord pulled Gu Chen away and took him away.

"The evil spirit has been dismissed, and the clues have been broken. How are you going to investigate the case you are looking for?... Hey, by the way, don't you love your apprentice the most? Today is..." Liu Mo glanced at Chu as if watching a show. Yan took a look.

"How to investigate the case, you should think about it carefully, but the palace lord should not worry about it. Although Gu Chen's family member passed away, it is inevitable that he will be sad, but if he violates the palace rules, he should be dealt with according to the law, and the punishment will be on my head. We will talk about it when we go back." Chu Yan didn't continue to listen to him, but turned and left.

Overnight, a family is torn apart, and a boy is no longer what he was yesterday...

The author says:

Gu Chen's family has been wiped out and there is no small theater. This is not a happy thing, and I can't find anything to make people happy...

7, punishment

◎Chu Yan was punished for Gu Chen, but Gu Chen didn't know anything...◎

Gu Chen had already been taken away in advance by the people sent by Chu Yan, so Chu Yan went back to Sitan Academy by himself.

The first thing he did when he came was naturally to receive the punishment for his little apprentice. Gu Chen offended the Palace Master and violated the palace rules, so he deserved to be punished, but Chu Yan's heart softened after all. Gu Chen of all the family members finally softened his heart and decided to accept the punishment for him.

The conference hall of Sitan Xuegong is called Ronghai Hall, which means: the sea is inclusive of all rivers, it is big if it has tolerance, it stands on a wall, and you can be strong without desire.

At this time, Chu Yan was kneeling in front of the hall, listening to Liu Mo's indispensable pre-punishment instruction: "Chu Yan, the No. 30 elder of the Sitan Academy, whose disciple violated the second rule of the palace, should be punished with a stick." One hundred, half a year's fine. Now, Elder Chu Yan is willing to accept the punishment on his behalf." Liu Mo turned and said to the two young disciples beside him, "Take him down, and take him to receive the punishment."

"Yes. Elder, let's go." After speaking, he went to help Chu Yan.

Chu Yan quickly avoided the two hands, got up and followed the two disciples to receive the punishment.

The others didn't see it, but what Chu Yan saw was that when Liu Mo was admonishing and punishing him, a trace of reluctance flashed in Liu Mo's eyes, perhaps a trace of love and compassion.It's just that Chu Yan didn't want to think too much, he felt that he was a laughing stock, and thinking this way was completely self-indulgent.If you are passionate, how can anyone care about yourself?Gu Chen, Liu Mo, all the elders and disciples of the Sitan Academy, who would take the initiative to care about a laughing stock in the world?

The two disciples didn't have a good impression of Chu Yan, and they didn't really want to help him, they just took a formality. This time they helped him in vain, and they inevitably lost some face. One or two looked at him with disgust. He glanced at Chu Yan.

The place of punishment was in front of the mountain gate of Sitan Xuegong, and Chu Yan followed the two disciples down the mountain.

At the gate of the Sitan Academy, in front of the stele engraved with the four characters "Sitan Academy" and the rules and regulations of the Sitan Academy, Chu Yan was dressed in white, with a straight body.
