The Melancholy of the National Teacher

No matter how effective the love divination of the sun worship priestess is, it will not be as effective as the divination of one of the four witch ministers.

Once again, Helian Yu ignored Le Dao's hints, and planned to do some after-dinner activities—to observe this Sun Salutation Church with its hidden conspiracy nearby.But before he nodded, just like countless times in the past, Le Dao had already grabbed his hand and dragged him to the ceremony by the river.

Helian Yu only had time to pick up the bamboo hat.

At this moment, the riverside was crowded with people, three times more than the number Helian Yu saw at noon, and more people poured out from the south gate of Yunping City.The common people got rid of the heavy work during the day and held the day's salary in their hands. They wanted to relax. At this time, the firelight and singing outside the city gate attracted them, just like the fragrance of flowers attracts bees.

Helian Yu still has the memory of playing in the winter festival when he was a child. Compared with the current festival, the winter festival is too serious, and the cumbersome sacrifice makes people tired, but this sun worship festival is obviously more approachable.The big witch saw countless jugglers, businessmen, and even prostitutes dressed in fancy dress.

The altar of the Sun Worship is in the center of the site, not far from the river. On the edge of the altar, the witches bundle hay into thick sticks taller than a person, pour grease on them, and then ignite them. With a height of one foot, the light converged on the silver mirror in the hands of the witches, and as they danced, the light spots of the river water were sprinkled.

Le Dao bought a grilled fish from the stall and handed it to Helian Yu.

It is a small fish the size of a palm. The fat accumulated for the winter is clean and plump. It is delicious when brushed with honey and coarse wine.He Lianyu, who was already full, couldn't refuse Le Dao's kindness, and finished eating silently.

He could almost feel his stomach whine, but Le Dao took the fish bone away and handed over another piece of milk cake.

"...Your Majesty," said Helian Yu, "are you planning to change the master of the star platform?"

"In the 28th year of Guangwu, we sneaked to the hunting ground of the former imperial family to poach," Le Dao said, "I remember that night, you killed a full-grown stag by yourself."

"Am I 12 years old at that time? Or 13 years old?" Helian Yu raised his forehead, "How can you compare the appetite of young people with that of old people?"

"I'm your age, and now I can eat a stag."

"...I think you have to start learning how to maintain your health, Your Majesty."

"No, no, no," Le Dao, who could only eat the milk cake by himself, said inarticulately, "Before Helian Naren died, your appetite was not so bad. Similarly, at that time, you were not so thin. This looks like this. My great witch, I have already treated you frankly, shouldn't you learn from me?"

Helian Yu pretended not to hear: "It's too late to start health preservation at this age. I don't want to find out that you have grown a belly that can be called a nine-month pregnancy in a few years."

Le Dao rolled his eyes towards the sky.

They just walked under the altar at this moment.

There are two stalls under the altar. Compared with other stalls, these two stalls are very luxurious.You can wrap a strong man in it and wrap it three times around the white bear skin and hang it on a wooden pole. This kind of precious fur is only used to make a roof. The spikes that nail the bear skin to the ground are golden. In Qinglu, this It is something that only the leader of a large tribe can use.Of the two stalls, one offered blessings. He Lianyu saw the mistress take a picture of the guests asking for blessings with a silver mirror, and let the guests leave.In another stall, the witch was playing with tortoise shells, copper coins, leaves, and dead branches woven into weird shapes. These were obviously for divination.

Le Dao pulled Helian Yu and squeezed towards the divination booth.

"Wait, Le Dao." Helian Yu said, "If you want to find a wife, you can ask Wu Bu to help you..."

Ledao looked back at him.

The look in his eyes was a little depressed and a little smiling. Le Dao, who walked to the stall, took a copper coin from the stall, and then threw a silver coin to the witch who was frightened by him. Like a gust of wind, Helian Yu was taken away again. to a place with few people.

Helian Yu felt that what happened today was very familiar.

Back then when he was a little witch in Xingtai, he would always be like this, being dragged away by Le Dao all the way, and then he was dizzy and found out who Le Dao had offended, and he had to run away together.

...It won't be the same this time, will it?

An ominous premonition arose in the great witch's heart, and Le Dao held the silver coin with a round square hole and shook it in front of Helian Yu's eyes, allowing Helian Yu to see the details of the copper coin clearly through the tulle .

"A copper coin with a breath of spiritual power, huh?" Le Dao confirmed to him.

He Lianyu nodded, and saw Le Dao clenched his hands into a fist with his thumb pointing up, and put the copper coin on the nail of his thumb. He flicked it lightly, and the copper coin flew into the air.

"Will the Sun Gold Medal interfere with Helian Zhaonatu's body? Yes on the front, no on the back."

Ledao said.

He spoke neither fast nor slow, just as he slapped the falling copper coin on the back of his hand after the end of the sentence, Helian Yu heard a crisp sound of palms slapping his flesh, and then saw Le Dao stretching out his overlapping hands in front of him.

"Do you want to open it to see the result?" His Majesty the Emperor asked aggressively.

"I remember when you were 11 years old, you relied on this trick to earn pocket money on the streets of Tianjing City," Helian Yu said calmly, "It is easy for you to get the result you want, since you already have Why are you asking me if you don’t have your own answer?”

"You seldom fight with people these years, and I haven't noticed any signs of your body. If it wasn't for this time, I'm afraid I would still be kept in the dark by you." Le Dao said angrily, "You know I was hurt when you fainted. How frightening are you?"

Helian Yu didn't speak, Le Dao changed the topic.

"Then do you have a solution?"

Helian Yu once again felt the strangeness of Le Dao's attitude.

If it had been in the past, the two of them would probably have been able to talk about this matter from dusk to midnight, and finally broke up. However, this time Le Dao only babbled, and he calmly passed the most quarrelsome part .

"Actually," Helian Yu said after deliberating, "I—"

"It's those two people!" A sharp female voice broke into their conversation.

They turned their heads to look in the direction of the sound, and found that it was a sun worship priestess with two other priestesses, and dozens of ordinary people with big knives—the people of Qinglu were too tough when they participated in the ceremony. , Le Dao said to Helian Yu in a low voice——that witch was pointing at them, coming menacingly.

"These two people forcibly took away the sacred object blessed by the sun, and even used money to desecrate it!"

the witch said loudly.

Facing this familiar scene, thinking of the past, Helian Yu held his forehead in a daze, "...Hiss, I have a headache."

So the big witch didn't keep his eyes on the emperor. His majesty looked at the witch who dared to point at him, and said, "Even if it's a star platform, all kinds of feathers, copper coins, tortoise shells, and wooden sticks for divination. You can buy a lot of money for a few copper coins, I... What a profiteer, I gave you a silver coin, but it is still blasphemy?!"

Someone on the opposite side flicked the blade unconsciously, and more people gathered because of Le Daola's hate speech.

He Lianyu lowered his voice: "...My Majesty, please don't say a few words."

Le said: "It's okay, there is a feeling of going back to the past, Helian, do you want to run another hundred miles?"

"Do not--"

Before He Lianyu finished speaking, he was dragged by Le Dao and ran out.

The emperor of Da'an runs like a horse, which not only refers to the speed, but also refers to the kind of momentum that will kill you if you don't get out of the way.Faced with this kind of momentum, few people can not feel timid, so Le Dao found a way to pass through the crowd very smoothly, or countless people were frightened and gave way to Le Dao.

The witches of the Sun Salutation Church chased after them, holding the hat with one hand, and Helian Yu, who didn't let the hat fall, turned around and watched those witches call out the spirit of heaven and earth, which was not much bigger than the palm of their hand, trying to get rid of the mortal The power of the two will teach them a good lesson.

Helian Yu narrowed his eyes.

He let go of the bamboo hat and held a bone fragment in front of his chest.

The witches released flames and thunder, and the crowded people hurriedly stepped aside or got down, allowing the fireball and thunder to pass over their heads. Just when they thought the matter was over and raised their heads, they saw a gust of wind annihilate the thunder, and Blow the fireball back.

The terrified people exclaimed.

Unexpectedly, the person who desecrated the holy relics of the sun worship was also a witch. The three witches chasing them couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, and then they realized that the exclamation came not only from the crowd in front of them, but also from the crowd behind them .

The fireball, fueled by the wind, passed them, and the sun worship priestesses followed the flames and turned their heads.They saw two monsters with long soft hairs suddenly appeared from the crowd behind them. The heads of these monsters looked similar to human heads. And calves salivating.

Before the witches could scream, the fireball hit the two-headed demon.

"How did you go where did something happen?" Le Dao said to Helian Yu.

Helian glanced at him gloomily.

This was the only sentence in the short conversation, Le Dao snatched the big knife from the dumbfounded people on one side, crossed over, and chopped off one head of the two-headed monster with one knife.

Then Le Dao watched from a close distance of less than three inches how the monster covered the wound with a black film, and then the film swelled up like a blown pig bladder, turning into a new head.

The new head didn't look like a human head at all.

Le Dao stepped on the old head that rolled to the ground, and said without any joy, "Why is it such a ghost again?"

Helian Yu threw a fireball on the double-headed demon again, and the flame curled around the demon's soft fur, burning as if it had encountered dry grass.

He said to the emperor who didn't want to move at all: "There is another one over there."

There are more than one or two new half-human, half-devil around that Helian Yu pointed out.

Fortunately, the witches in the big witch's tent had received the news of the appearance of the demon, and they rushed to the sun worship ceremony.

Helian Yu saw Ah Rishan.

Ah, this is really... an old friend I almost didn't recognize.

The big witch said to the emperor, "I don't want to see him at all."

Le Dao spread his hands: "Then... let's run together?"
