The Melancholy of the National Teacher

"So, he really died?"

In the early morning of the imperial capital city with heavy fog, in a large mansion in the inner city near the Forbidden Palace, thick candle tears hung on the nine lamps in the master's study room, and eight of the nine snow-white whale oil candles had been burned out. There is one last fire that will not be extinguished, trying to illuminate the dark room.

Dazai Luo Zhai had already put on his tiara and court clothes, but he did not rush to the court meeting in the Forbidden Palace.The rickety old man put his hands behind his back and circled around the study with the nine lamps as the center.

"There is no body?" He asked his nephew, "No one even saw the process, how sure are you that His Majesty is dead?"

Luo Zhai's nephew was wearing the ghost guard's gray clothes, but there was no number on the hilt of the dagger at his waist, so it was unknown if he was the real ghost guard.He knelt down, lowered his head and said, "Xinying comes from Daxue Mountain. It is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to survive in such an avalanche."

"Which one of those people we calculated can be called an ordinary person?!"

Lord Dazai frowned and threw the silk cloth covered with small characters on the table.

"That's what it means," his nephew said calmly, "everyone in the world can see the star that rose last night, but who in the world can rise in the sky after death? What about the sun and stars... and the strangely shaped stars?"

Luo Zhai, who saw the first month of birth with his own eyes, pondered.

He stroked his gray beard and said: "The national teacher is dead, there is no doubt about it, then Your Majesty..."

The nephew replied: "It is said that at that time, the Master of the National Teacher was exhausted to preside over the ceremony, and His Majesty was also exhausted. Dazai, you have already expected that His Majesty and the National Teacher will show such a flaw in Daxue Mountain, so that the subordinates Buying the ghost owl guard team, and joining forces with the great witch Xuemanpo, the two sides jointly set up a murderous situation, my lord should have more confidence in his plan."

"No," Luo Zhai waved his hand to his nephew, "You don't understand...over the years, how many killings those two people have gone through, and turned into an army...are they really dead? It's like a dream... ..."

"However, if the national teacher is dead, how can His Majesty survive?" said his nephew.

"How can there be such a saying?" Dazai frowned.

"These emperors have been spreading the word in the city," said the nephew, "the national teacher is not destroyed, and your majesty will not die. As long as the national teacher is destroyed, your majesty will die. If you want my nephew to say, no matter what your majesty is, it is not those who have The witch with unpredictable means, the flesh and blood of mortals, will eventually turn into bones, so there is no need for uncle to worry too much."

"...Have you still not infiltrated Feiyan Guard?" Luo Zhai asked suddenly.

Luo's nephew was taken aback.

"Yue Xing Yuxia is very good at it," said the nephew with a jealous look on his face, "I don't know what kind of benefits he promised those swallows. They are all loyal. I originally wanted to design a swallow to violate the rules, but I didn't expect That swallow is desperately trying to break its wings, but it doesn't want to fall on the handle, hehe, so what about Lexing?" The nephew sneered, "Your Majesty killed his parents, how could he leave a person who has a vendetta against his father to succeed him? world?"

After the nephew said this, he raised his eyes and saw his uncle staring at him, and immediately realized that he was too complacent, and hurriedly lowered his head again.

"Trash." Luo Zhai cursed. He knocked over a scroll on the desk in front of his nephew. Fei Yanwei brought back the secret decree issued by Emperor Da'an several days ago. With Luo's power, his uncle could receive the transcript before the secret decree was read out at the court meeting.

This is probably the last order of Emperor Leshi, the nephew thought contemptuously, and then lowered his head to read the content.

"……how is this possible?!"

After only reading a few words, Luo Zhai's nephew screamed in disbelief.

"Your Majesty actually asked the ministers to prepare the ceremony for the canonization of the crown prince. When he came back from Daxue Mountain, he would choose an auspicious day to canonize Le Province as the crown prince. The only seedling of the Le family has been trembling all these years, and even I can't fault him. "

"But……"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Luo Zhai looked at the corona and realized that the time was not far from the start of the court meeting. He threw his sleeves and pushed open the door of the study, then said to his nephew, "Get up, this battle is far from over." Woolen cloth."

As soon as the words fell, Dazai of Daan saw a person walking towards him along the corridor from a distance.

Luo Zhai's eyes lit up, and he lowered his head.

"Your Majesty!" he said, "The traitor Leshi Helian and the villain Xue Manpo have been killed as planned. Please wait patiently for a few days, Your Majesty. Your enthronement ceremony will be held soon!"

"Luo has always been the loyal minister of Pingyuan Yun's humerus," the visitor said, "In just a few days, there is nothing I can't wait for."

Under the shallow sunlight in the early morning, Yun casually and modestly helped Luo Zhai up.

He couldn't hide the ecstasy in his eyes, he didn't know whether he heard the news that Le's traitor had died, or heard the news that Xue Manpo had also died.

This world will eventually return to the hands of my Yun family, the last emperor of Dazhong thought so complacently.

The dark waves in the imperial capital are turbulent, and some central figures are still unaware of it.

Helian Yu only knew that he was going to be yelled to death.

"Scared me to death ok you two!!! I know I can't get in your fight but I'm worried too ok?!!! Know when I find you you all look dead There is no difference... At that time, I almost thought that uncle, you and aunt died in love, how can I live if I am left alone!!!"

In the ice sea rift valley behind the snow mountain, the young man's roar shook off the snow on the vertical mountain wall.

Helianyu who just woke up felt a splitting headache.

He sat on the soft carpet with his eyes open and wandered for a moment before waking up.I found that I had changed my clothes, and my hands and feet were covered with pungent-smelling ointment—the big witch sniffed it, and it was used to treat frostbite—everywhere was wrapped with boiled and washed cloth strips. It is to wrap the big witch into a round and fat cicada pupa.

Helian Yu rubbed Wu Lun's head, the corners of his mouth could only twitch at the boy's irritable coquetry.Out of the corner of his eye, he scanned the place and realized that he was in the snow house.

People in Bailu often build their houses with ice and snow. This kind of house is not only not cold, but extremely warm. This round snow house was obviously made by a little hunter who was silently brewing medicine.Smelling the smell of medicine in the pot, it was obviously consistent with Helian Yu's body.

"Jiang Bo is very powerful." Ulun noticed that Helian Yu was looking at the little Orion, and said hastily, "It was he who saved me from the ghost owl guard, and he is very good at treating frostbite. Does it hurt? I was swollen when I saw it before."

"The medicine is very useful." He Lianyu said, he smiled at the little hunter named Jiang Bo, "Thank you."

Jiang Bo nodded silently, and climbed out of the narrow archway with the medicine pot in his hand.

The uncle and nephew watched the young ascetic warrior with facial paralysis leave, and then turned their heads together. When Ulun was thinking about whether he should make another scene, Helianyu diverted his attention with another topic.

"Where is this?" the big witch asked.

Of course, it is still in the ice sea rift valley.

The little hunter Jiang Bo is really capable. After Ulun was attacked by the ghost owl guards, he immediately decided that the Daxue Mountain was not safe, so he led Ulun down to the bottom of the ice sea rift before others, and found the emperor and kingdom of Daan. There are two teachers.

At that time, the big witch was seriously injured because of his emotional ups and downs. After confirming that Le Dao was still alive, he passed out directly.And His Majesty the Emperor was a seriously wounded man who had just recovered his life from Styx, not to mention taking care of Helian Yu, he couldn't even take care of himself well.The little Orion found them, helped them move with Ulun, erased their whereabouts all the way, found a place to live, and then took over most of the work such as boiling medicine and cooking. This child is not a few years older than Ulun, He even remembered that before leaving Daxue Mountain, he took away the salute brought by the emperor and his party.

Thanks to him, the emperor and the great witch survived.

Helian Yu, who was wrapped into a silkworm chrysalis in cotton cloth strips, spent some time meditating. After recovering most of his spiritual power, he used himself as a tool to demonstrate for Ulun the witch doctor's skills that belonged to the all-encompassing branch. The bruises from the frostbite, the bloody mouth cut by the ice blade during the battle, and the bloody fingers from digging the snow, healed almost instantly.

The internal injury still needs more training, but on the surface, it is no longer obvious that the big witch was seriously injured before.

Slightly exaggerating some of the healing effects, Helian Yu frowned after appeasing Ulun.

Speaking of which, what about Le Dao?

Helian Yu, who walked out of the igloo, looked around and found that the place where they were temporarily hiding was a recessed cliff somewhere.There are mountains and rocks blocking most of the intersection in front of it, and there is mist in it, and the snow house is arranged in the corner. At first glance, it is impossible to find that there are four big living people hiding here.Helian Yu smelled the smell of sulfur in the mist, and guessed that there must be cracks in the recessed place of the cliff, and there must be geothermal heat in the cracks, maybe there are hot springs.

He Lianyu thought of the hot spring courtyard that Xue Manpo had set up to seduce Le Dao, and was lost in thought for a moment with a blank expression on his face.

After a while, he came back to his senses and walked into the cave. As expected, he found a crack that people could pass through. After walking a few steps along the crack, he suddenly saw a small room with fluorescent moss growing on the top. Below is a small pond filled with milky white spring water. There is mist floating on the surface of the small pond, and you can even see boiling bubbles in the water.

Le Dao, whom Helian Yu was looking for, was standing by the pool, as if he was looking at a vine hanging from the top of the cave.

He heard Helian Yu's footsteps coming in, but he didn't look back.

He Lianyu, who hadn't spoken to Le Dao since waking up, was stunned.

...Ledao's attitude seems to be a bit wrong?

Suddenly cold?Helian Yu walked forward while thinking.

Before he could speak, he looked over Le Dao's shoulder, and his eyes widened at something unbelievable.

What hangs down from the top of the cave is not the vines that the sorcerer thought it was, but a tree root with scale-like patterns on its surface. The end of the root hangs down to the ground and is submerged in a pile of yellow bones, except for the skull. In addition, the other parts of this pile of bones are all damaged, and with Helianyu's eyesight, it will take a lot of effort to identify them.

The tip of the tree root hung above the skull, and between the skull and the tree root, there was a golden feather that shimmered. The edge of the feather was like a flickering flame, flashing in Helian Yu's eyes.

"...It's the Sun Gold Medal." Helian Yu murmured.

"I never expected," Le Dao said, "How famous Fusang is, but he died in such a place."

"Is it Fusang?" That root must belong to the Fusang tree. He Lianyu vaguely guessed why there are few monsters in the Ice Sea Rift Valley. He took a step forward and tried to see clearly, "When the sun rises, then The soul of a demon emperor fell into the mortal world together with others, when the golden medal of the sun disappeared, did he come here...?"

Fusang has long since died, not even the stars. Presumably, the soul has already disappeared in the world. No matter whether the demon emperor's soul is going to the Styx or wandering in the mortal world, I am afraid that he will never see his old friend again.

Helian Yu, who saw clearly, was silent and sighed.

"That's how it ended."

"What is the relationship between these two guys?" Le Dao asked.

Who can know?The past has long been covered up for a long time. Whether it is the story passed down by word of mouth in the world, or the secrets of Daxue Mountain, the face of this man and a monster are all blurred for people to see.He Lianyu inexplicably felt a little sad, not only for Fusang and Yaohuang, but also for...

"Fortunately it's not you and me." Le Dao said.

"...We won't do this, Your Majesty." Helian Yu replied.

Le Dao looked back at him.

Helian Yu and him looked at each other for a moment, thinking that this guy seemed to have lost his temper not long ago.

Then he was pushed into the hot spring.

The hot water was hot and drenched the witch in an instant. He Lianyu supported the stone wall to stand firm, so that he could not fall into the water completely, but the aroused water splashed into his eyes, which made his eyes blurred. Subconsciously grasped the hand extended by the culprit who caused him to fall into such a situation.

There was another crash, and Le Dao also jumped into the water.

He Lianyu's face was covered with water spray, expressionless, before he could react, someone quickly pulled He Lianyu's collar away.

"That's not necessarily the case. You always want to hide important things from me." Le Dao, who was holding his waist, nibbled on Helian Yu's ears lightly or hard, the soft meat pieces touched each other, and the wet licking feeling Dawu felt that half of his face was numb, and Le Dao's words made his heart jump even more, and he subconsciously grabbed Le Dao's hand that was protruding down along the open collar.

"What's the matter with the so-called moon?" Le Dao said coldly in his ear.

The guilty Helian Yu trembled, and Le Dao broke free of his hand.Le Dao pressed Helian Yu against the stone wall at the edge of the pool, and showed his big witch a carnivore-specific smile.

"So let's change the interrogation method today, the one between men and men," said the emperor whose face was blurred by the heat, "Let's see how long you can last for the first time?"
