The Way of the National Teacher

It's not difficult to find the Daze Grassland, the hard part is where to find the so-called God of the Grassland.

Princess Shanggu took out the Five Bright Fan, "The national teacher can use this to try."

When Chu Li saw it, the past rushed to his mind, and he felt very embarrassed.But he couldn't help but take it, he just said, "It was useless at first, but now I still don't know how to use it."

"This five-bright fan was originally owned by Kou Tianshi. Now that you are taking over Kou Tianshi, the national teacher, you should hold it. It is absolutely useless in my hands." Princess Shanggu said, "Let's rest first and ask the locals. .”

But the Daze grassland is vast and sparsely populated, and there are only a few herdsmen, and Chu Li can't understand them at all.On the contrary, Princess Shanggu spoke the local dialect with them, and there was no obstacle in communicating with them.However, after half a day, there was still nothing.The herdsmen only know that there is a God of Grassland in the Daze Grassland, who protects the people of the grassland, but they can't tell where the God of the Grassland is.It is only said that on the Daze grassland, gods are everywhere.

If it is everywhere, then it is nowhere to be found.

After inquiring for three or five days in a row, I didn't have the slightest clue.

At nightfall, Chu Li and Princess Shanggu were sitting in the courtyard. Chu Li asked, "Qu Di, do you really believe in the existence of the God of the Grassland?"

"I didn't believe it before, but now," Princess Shanggu looked up at the moon, "I think maybe everything has its own destiny."

Chu Li wondered, "Why do you see that?"

Princess Shanggu smiled, "Since my Tuoba clan established the dynasty, I have believed that man will conquer the sky. There is no natural nobleman, let alone a man of destiny. Everything that my Tuoba clan has today is the success of the Tuoba clan." In exchange for the blood of thousands of people. My father, my ancestors, has survived for hundreds of years in such a difficult environment as the Daze Grassland. I won all this with my own hands. Therefore, I never believed in gods and ghosts. If there were, there would be tens of millions of people who died in vain in the world, but there is no god to uphold justice for them." He said and looked at Chu Li, "But, later I saw you and Shi... Sister Helian, I believe in gods again."

"why?"

"What is a god? It is nothing more than caring for the common people and making plans for the world." Princess Shanggu said, "The gods in the hearts of the people can protect them. If the gods are useless, the people will not respect them. Although the national teacher is You are human, but you care about the world. I have never seen a person as stubborn as you. You have taught me a lot...Qualities that I thought would never exist. You can do your best for your ideals and beliefs. And , You don’t have yourself in your beliefs. I think, if there is a god in this world that can protect the people, it should be the spirit of your national teacher. Therefore, I feel that I have never seen people’s mouth It may not be that what is believed by the ear from generation to generation does not exist."

Chu Li was silent for a long time.

Princess Shanggu looked at her, "Chu Li, you are a respectable person. But unfortunately, you are a woman. If you were born a man, your achievements will be limitless in the future." She hesitated, "Chu Li, I hope... Don't be attached to power. You have to know that in Dawei, women will not get real power. You... We all have to learn to stop when enough is enough." That's all she could say.It is absolutely impossible for Princess Shanggu to directly tell Chu Li to leave.But in her own heart, Princess Shanggu didn't want to see Chu Li die in the end.Chu Li's ending is obviously going to be a cunning rabbit's death.Princess Shanggu has indeed been using her to deceive her, but she doesn't want Chu Li to die.From Princess Shanggu's point of view, Chu Li is a person from outside Fang, who has nothing, so even if she can hold her life in the end and let her leave with nothing, Princess Shanggu also thinks it is the best ending.But in fact, Tuoba Di didn't have the confidence to let Chu Li get out of the way.She is just a princess, a plaything under the imperial power, it is impossible for her to destroy her father's plan.

Chu Li looked at her silently, feeling complicated in his heart.How could Master Chu fail to understand the meaning of Princess Shanggu's words!She concentrated on exploring, feeling the complex and contradictory mood of Princess Shanggu, and felt even more mixed.Princess Shanggu is not a good person, or even a bad person.But Princess Shanggu is by no means a completely conscienceless executioner.

People in the arena involuntarily.Chu Li turned her head away. Since Princess Shanggu never thought of killing her, she would not push Princess Shanggu into a desperate situation.But for Emperor Wei, Chu Li was deeply resentful.

"Tell me, where should Senior Sister be at this time?" She said quietly, without realizing what she was asking.

Princess Shanggu smiled, "Don't worry, with Cui Situ escorting you along the way, Sister Helian will be safe and sound."

Chu Li asked again, "Why did you choose Qu as an alias?"

"My mother's surname was Juqu again, so I took the last name."

"Ju Qu?" Chu Li thought for a while, "Is your mother from Beiliang?"

Qudi nodded.

Chu Li was startled, "Then, Beiliang, which is about to be destroyed by the Great Wei, is your mother's hometown?"

Qu Di was silent for a while, and then said softly, "Yes. But what's the matter? The world must be unified after all. In the harem of the Great Wei Dynasty, most of the remnants of various countries were taken in, which is not uncommon."

Now it was Chu Li's turn to be silent.After all, the world must be unified. Yes, the people who are most unlucky when it falls apart are the common people. History must always move forward.

It was dark.

The next day, the two took their guards and set foot on the road to find the God of Daze Grassland again.However, still nothing.

"Perhaps, it's just nonsense from the envoys of the Marquis of Wuluo." Chu Li wiped his sweat.

Qu Di said, "The children of our prairie believe in the God of the prairie, and they didn't gradually convert to Buddhism until they entered the Central Plains."

"Have you ever seen the God of the Grassland?" Chu Li was very helpless.

Qu Di shook his head, "Of course not."

"Then why..."

Before Chu Li finished speaking, Qu Di's eyes suddenly lit up, "I thought of it!"

"what?"

"Gaxian Cave!" Qu Di exclaimed in surprise, "How could I have forgotten that! When the envoy of the Wuluohou Kingdom came to court, he claimed that there was the former ruins of the Great Wei Emperor in the northwest of the Wuluohou Kingdom. How could I have forgotten this!" She Overjoyed, seeing that Chu Li was still puzzled, Qu Di explained, "A long time ago, there was a forest there. In spring and summer, there were lush vegetation and flowers everywhere. In winter, it was snowy and there were many animals. They lived by hunting. The Oroqen people lived peacefully and happily for generations. Unexpectedly, a man-eating demon suddenly appeared one day and killed countless people. But the strong and brave Oroqen people were not afraid of hardships and refused to submit, and generation after generation lived with him Fighting each other, finally moved the fairy Ga in the sky. Immortal Ga went down to kill the people and drove away the demons, so people renamed the cave where the demons lived in Gaxian Cave, and the mountain with holes in the big rocks as Caves Later, Gaxian Cave became the residence of immortals of all ages. This is the earliest story about immortals I know, isn’t it the God of the Grassland who protects the people!”

Chu Li was also overjoyed, "Then, where is that Ga fairy cave?"

Qu Di frowned, "This Gaxian Cave has always been a legendary place, and no one seems to have found it so far..."

"Didn't the envoys of Wuluohou say they found it?"

"That's right!" Qu Di suddenly said, "I'll immediately write a letter to tell my father, and let the envoys of the Marquis of Wuluo show us the way!"
