The Great Sorcerer

After the Yu Qilin incident, all the apprentices admired Hai Huan even more than before, and even those who had a bit of jealousy towards him were dormant by his bravery and strength.A 15-year-old child subdued the crazy Jade Qilin, such a mythical story has quickly spread throughout the Wuxian tribe.

At the same time, Canaan, the other protagonist of the incident, was also logically ignored, and his name was not even mentioned in the rumors of Hai Huan, just "Hai Huan's classmate".

After class that day, Canaan plucked up his courage and wanted to thank Hai Huan, but the most beautiful girl named Qiong Zhi among them was talking to Hai Huan and Salo, so he had to delay packing his schoolbag on purpose It's a pity that the three of them, to be precise, Qiongzhi and Salo have been chatting endlessly, and now there is only the last pen left at his turtle-like speed, Canaan is dejected, and he is about to leave with his schoolbag on his back , but seeing Salo saying goodbye to Hai Huan, he took the lead to go out with his arms around Qiong Zhi's shoulders.When he walked to the door, Canaan always felt that Salo glanced at him, with a mysterious smile on the corner of his mouth. Canaan panicked for a while, thinking that his obvious intentions could not be hidden from someone as smart as Salo, so he Only then did he abduct Qiong Zhi who originally wanted to strike up a conversation with Hai Huan.

Canaan thanked Salo in his heart, then emboldened himself, and walked towards Hai Huan who was sketching something on the scroll.The latter didn't seem to notice his existence, and kept his head down, expressionless.

"That...Hai Huan..."

Hearing his voice, Hai Huan raised his head and looked at him.A pair of black eyes with a few blue eyes, as clear as the millennium-year-old ice in the polar region, his submissive face reflected in the cold air.

"Thank you..." Canaan tugged at the corners of his mouth, pulling out a stiff and silly smile.

"No need." He simply said two words, then lowered his head to read the book again.

According to Canaan's usual personality, he should just leave silently like this, but today Canaan didn't know where the energy came from, so he continued, "What are you looking at?"

"The history of the development of witchcraft in the Middle Ages." Without looking up.

"Ah, I've read this book." Canaan pulled up a chair and sat down next to him, "I really like the part about No. The great witch also invented the Wuzhu dance, which is very powerful like a novel."

"Do you have anything else to do?" Hai Huan looked at him sideways. Although he was expressionless, Canaan still saw a little impatient look from the subtle changes in the other's eyes.

Canaan felt a kick in the heart, and then stood up quickly, "Ah, it's nothing. Goodbye." Then he walked out of the practice field as if he was running away.

After that day, Canaan hated Hai Huan even more.

Wu Zhuwu's practice has been going on for some time.Everyone meditates in the practice field every day, but most of them can only linger in a relatively shallow state of meditation, and have been unable to enter the deep state that Qing Yi said for a long time.Then one day, Hai Huan, who was sitting quietly, suddenly stood up, his eyes were slightly closed, and his arms were slowly opened.He was the first apprentice who learned to dance the Wuzhu dance. That day his dance amazed Canaan, all the apprentices and even the mentor Qingyi.It was a completely different dance from Qingyi's Wuzhu dance. The flowing movements were graceful but sharp, mixed with femininity and masculinity, and the eyes that leaked out between the dances were boundless charm.Canaan never knew that a man's dance can be so holy and charming, not feminine, but a beauty that transcends gender.

The second one to learn without any suspense is Salo. His Wuzhu dance is gentle but varied, and less gorgeous than Haihuan, but it is also a dreamlike dream that makes people hold their breath.Afterwards, as if everyone had enlightened, one after another successfully entered deep meditation and learned different witch dances.Canaan was the seventh one to learn it. At that time, he only felt as if he had fallen into a soft world, surrounded by blurred elf lights, and the ancient call seemed to echo in his ears.An inexplicable emotion swept over him, as if a wanderer who had been wandering for a long time set foot on the land of his hometown after experiencing countless vicissitudes, which almost made him cry.Then, he felt a strange force spreading from his heart along the blood vessels, gradually spreading to his whole body.Suddenly he knew what he was going to do, he stood up, followed the guidance of that force, and stretched his body happily.He never knew what his own dance looked like, because when he danced the Wuzhu dance, although he could see the outside world and even have a sharper perception of the outside world than before, it seemed that he was one with the surrounding air, It feels like the soul is liberated from the shackles of the body.However, I heard from Lu Ming afterwards that his dance was quite peculiar, with a power to touch people's hearts, as if the soul was dancing.

The last one to learn, without a doubt, was Lu Ming.At that time, most people had already entered the next stage of study, only Lu Ming was still sitting in the corner meditating.Seeing that he was about to be kicked out by Qingyi, Canaan felt a little sympathetic when he saw his desperate efforts.So every day after school, he would accompany Luming to a hillside full of dandelions near the Wuxian tribe, and practice meditation under an old oak tree.However, a month has passed and still no progress.Qing Yi issued an ultimatum to Lu Ming, and Lu Ming scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously, and didn't think about eating or drinking, this was like the end of the world for him who was a foodie.

Canaan sat with him under the tree that day, watching the other party become more and more anxious and unable to enter the state, with sweat on his forehead.Canaan couldn't stand it anymore, leaned against the tree trunk and looked at him, "Lu Ming, actually, have you ever thought about going to learn other witchcraft?"

Lu Ming suddenly opened his eyes and stared at him, "What did you say?"

"Actually, you don't have to learn summoning to be a wizard. Maybe you are more suitable for other witchcraft?"

"Didn't you curse me that I can't get through it! I just want to learn summoning. My dream since I was a child was to become a witcher. Why don't you let me learn it?!"

Canaan frowned, and became a little angry, "Your character is not suitable for learning summoning at all, why do you have to get along with yourself?! Life is so long, how can everything be as you want? Change a way of life What's wrong?!"

"If you want to change it, you can change it! Anyway, I won't change it!"

"You idiot, I'm fucking doing it for your own good...!" Before he could finish speaking, another voice suddenly broke in, "Eh? Brothers had a fight?"

When Canaan turned his head, he saw Hai Huan and Salo walking slowly, and it was Salo who was always smiling who spoke just now.

Canaan inexplicably felt hot on his face. For some reason, he didn't want Hai Huan to see him blushing and thick-necked. Maybe it was because he didn't want to lose face in front of someone he hated?

Lu Ming glared at the two high-achieving students viciously, "What are you doing here? Are you making fun of me?!"

"How come, I was dragged by Hai Huan for a walk. But now it seems that he came here on purpose?" Salo said, his light brown eyes turning back and forth between Hai Huan and Lu Ming, Canaan suddenly felt that the meaningful smile on his face was particularly annoying.

Hai Huan looked at Lu Ming, "Is there any progress?"

Lu Ming rolled his eyes, "You want to take care of it?"

Hai Huan didn't reply, but glanced at Salo.Salo immediately put on an air of surrender, "Alright, alright, master, I understand what it means to cross the river and tear down the bridge." Then he walked to the side of Canaan, "Student Canaan, I have something to ask you, let's go home together Bar?"

Canaan had no choice but to agree.

Walking on the road in silence, Salo didn't ask him anything, and he didn't ask Salo what he wanted to ask him, because he knew that Salo didn't intend to really ask him anything.He was in a bad mood, but if he was really asked to tell the reason, he couldn't tell.He felt that it was probably because he had a quarrel with his good friend.

Canaan has always been a pacifist. To put it bluntly, he is timid and afraid of getting into trouble, and he will not get angry with others easily.Unless it's a very good friend.

"Ja Nan, I haven't talked to you much in class. Speaking of which, you and Hai Huan seem to be classmates in the past, right?"

"Well. That's right..."

"So is Lu Ming?"

"right……"

"Haha, I really want to meet your teacher, how did he teach Lu Ming and Hai Huan who are so different?"

Canaan wanted to say why he only mentioned Lu Ming and Hai Huan and left him alone, but of course he didn't ask.I think it's because I'm too mediocre, and even Lu Ming is at least very lacking in characteristics, but I'm always just a foil.

He followed Salo's words and said, "Our teacher has always been unable to do anything about Luming."

"Were you two good friends before?"

"No. We haven't talked much."

"Oh?" Salo turned to look at him with interest in his eyes, "Are you withdrawn?"

"No." Canaan quickly denied, "There is no chance to speak."

"That's it..." Salo looked noncommittal.Fortunately, his interest lasted very short, and he didn't continue to ask questions. The two climbed up a narrow stone ladder next to the bluestone tower and just entered the city when Salo said goodbye to Canaan.The two went home separately, without further ado.

Miraculously, on the second day, Lu Ming performed a very touching Wuzhu dance in front of the whole class.His dance is full of agility and enthusiasm, just like the dance of an elf, and his gestures seem to drive the surrounding leaves and the sun to dance together.When the dance was over, everyone clapped their hands vigorously and continued to applaud.While Canaan was happy for him, he felt a little uncomfortable.

His feelings for Lu Ming are complicated, sympathy and disgust, contempt and jealousy.He doesn't understand that he is obviously better than him, why is it always Lu Ming who gets everyone's attention?Is an apprentice who works hard not as good as an apprentice who fails all the time?Even Hai Huan pays so much attention to him... What kind of world is this?

Then there is a bit of nostalgia for these contradictory feelings. After all, he doesn't have many friends, and Lu Ming happens to be the one with the largest proportion.

After two months like this, they finally made all the preparations and started to catch the first spirit beast in their lives.

There are three simple steps to capture spirit beasts.The first thing is to investigate the habits of the spirit beasts you want to capture, find out their preferences, abilities, behavior patterns, breeding methods, etc. In short, you must get all the information you can investigate.For this reason, the fifteen apprentices spent the whole month before holding a book of spirit beasts thicker than a brick to study which spirit beast was suitable for them.Canaan chose the 狌狌, which is an ancient ape-like spirit beast with a human face and a monkey body. It runs fast and can speak human language, knowing a lot of knowledge that humans do not know.This kind of animal can be regarded as a mild-tempered one among spirit beasts, suitable for beginners to catch.

Luming was very unreliable, and chose the blue bird.The divine bird that was said to feed on the Southern Heavenly Emperor Nüwa who was thrown into Purgatory by the Great Desolation God was almost considered a fairy beast. Even Hai Huan would have difficulty catching it, let alone him.Therefore, Canaan persuaded Luming to change to a spirit beast, but Luming said that he looked down on him and wanted to catch blue birds.Canaan rolled his eyes in his heart, thinking that if you want to catch him, just go catch him, and see if you are dumbfounded when Qing Yi kicks him out if you can't catch him.

The second step is to prepare the food that the spirit beast likes, and often call the name of the spirit beast in a state of meditation in the few days before the capture.In this way, a certain spiritual connection has been established with the spirit beast before the capture, and when the ceremony is actually performed, the spirit beast will have a greater chance of sensing the summon and then being lured into the magic circle.

And the last step is to set up an altar circle in the place where spirit beasts often come and go, and after setting up the sacrifices, the wizard will stand outside the circle and dance the witch wish dance.If it goes well, the spirit beast will appear after jumping once. If it doesn't go well, it may even take three days and three nights to jump.But three days is the limit.If the third day does not appear, then this call is considered a failure.

Canaan prepared seriously, but was always worried about what to do if he couldn't catch it.In fact, the chances of this are very small, and the success rate of catching yu is very high even for beginners, and Canaan's ability can be regarded as above-average among the fifteen people, so there should be no need to worry. It's him.But he was restless, and even stayed up all night the night before the capture ceremony. He opened his eyes wide in the dark and looked at the swaying vines on the window sill. In the second day, the spirit beast was successfully caught.
