The letter said that the Boshan Zhaoshi clay was found in Yunzhou, which was thousands of miles away, and it would take some time to transport it, and we had to wait for a while.

Xie Changming read the letter twice, with his eyes half downcast, his expression still calm.

After a while, he put the letter paper on the candle, burning it too fast and stopping for too long, the flame hit his finger, but it was like encountering a piece of cold jade, no matter how hot the flame was, he could not Nothing will change.

Xie Changming didn't seem to realize it, and after a while, he pressed the candle out casually.

The candlelight suddenly disappeared in the house, and there was only a little light remaining after the sunset, and snow fell from the edge of the eaves.

Xie Changming heard the sound of a bird flapping its wings.

It should be a plump feathered bird more than ten times larger than Xiaobald.

He didn't look up, and saw a bird's shadow passing by the window sill without leaving any traces.

After a few more days, I finally had to attend Mr. Xu's class again.

On the way to class, students are as mournful as ever.

Xie Changming believes that Mr. Xu should be more suitable for interrogating the captured mole than teaching.

It's a shame to teach students.

After class, Xie Changming found Mr. Xu and explained his purpose.

Mr. Xu was puzzled after listening, but also asked sincerely: "What do you want from the little Changming bird? You are so troublesome."

Xie Changming was silent.

Mr. Xu didn't seem to expect to get an answer from him, but he didn't sneer or make things difficult as before. He said kindly: "The academy stipulates that all students are treated equally and cannot be treated differently. Like Sheng Liuyu who can't hand in classwork, according to the usual According to the rules, he shouldn't be given the test. But, after all, the little Changming bird has some innate deficiencies, which is understandable, and it was not intentional."

He said it in a very reasonable way.

Then, the topic changed: "That's what you said, let him take the exam, whether you can do it or not, it's all in my mind."

Xie Changming: "..."

He had already thought that Mr. Xu was not easy to get along with.

Sure enough, Mr. Xu showed a smile: "You promise me one thing, and this thing can be done."

Xie Changming said lightly: "Say."

Mr. Xu became more cordial, and he asked, "Fellow Taoist, do you know about the branch-breaking event that will be held soon?"

Xie Changming raised his vigilance.

Mr. Xu said: "I know that You's cultivation is profound and unfathomable. Isn't the leader of the Broken Branch Society easy to catch?"

Xie Changming said, "Do you care about this?"

Mr. Xu said bluntly: "What do I care about! It's just for fun."

Qing Gu beside him couldn't help explaining.

It turned out that this was a new enmity caused by an old incident in the past.

A few years ago, Mr. Xu was teaching students who were about to leave school. It stands to reason that with advanced cultivation, he should be the leader of the autumn season. Unexpectedly, the leader was taken by a student who was about to leave school in a year.

The student's husband is Zhou Qingjin, who originally had a bad relationship with Mr. Xu, but he is even more proud after taking Qiu Shiling's leader.From then on, when they quarreled again, he often used this matter to demote Mr. Xu to nothing.

Mr. Xu's temper must be unbearable.

So this time at the Broken Branch Meeting, his students must defeat Zhou Qingjin's and win the spring season leader.

Xie Changming said: "You send the students away, and you teach a new class, shouldn't he be teaching the students who are about to leave school? How can you get a piece?"

Mr. Xu was taken aback for a moment, showing a little shame, and it was Qing Gu who was at the side to explain again.

After the students left school, Mr. Xu took a break for two years before starting to teach again. Therefore, Zhou Qingjin is now teaching for the second year.

And this time Zhou Qingjin's students also have a young genius, it is said that his cultivation is advancing rapidly, he is only 16 years old, he is already at the peak of Jindan, and he is only one step away from Yuanying.

Mr. Xu regained his composure: "What's the matter, I'm not in good health, so what's wrong with taking a break for two years?"

Xie Changming tried to persuade him: "Don't you think it's invincible?"

Mr. Xu raised his eyebrows: "Why did you say that? Aren't fellow Taoists also 16 years old? He hasn't practiced any evil methods, but he is following the right way. His cultivation is advanced because of his outstanding talent. But in order to deceive others, he pretends to be a foundation-building cultivator." .Speaking of which, we have not used our cultivation to suppress others, we are very modest.”

After all these words are said, they all make sense in principle, but even Qing Gu can't bear to look directly at him as an elder.

Xie Changming did not want to become "us" with Mr. Xu.

Mr. Xu said: "Anyway, the results of the Broken Branch Club are not what I want to see, so Sheng Liuyu's test results are not what you want to see either."

Xie Changming said blankly, "Okay."

After all, he is not the devil now.

In the days that followed, it was nothing more than attending classes, reviewing books, working part-time, and making up lessons for Sheng Liuyu.

The most troublesome thing is to make up lessons for Sheng Liuyu. For other things, he must either do it alone or face dead objects. Xie Changming has his own discretion.

Sheng Liuyu is different, he is a lively cub, and he is not very obedient. He often loses his mind while listening to the class and thinks about other things.

When Xie Changming called him, he would appear as if he had just woken up from a dream.

If the tone was more serious, the expression would be more aggrieved, as if Xie Changming had bullied him.

Sheng Liuyu said: "You are so fierce."

Xie Changming didn't argue, and asked him, "Has no one ever been cruel to you?"

Sheng Liuyu pursed her lips: "No."

He is a pampered and raised cub. He must have been a servant like a cloud since he was a child, and he has been carefully cared for. He must have never suffered such suffering.

Even when they came to the academy and met Mr. Xu, it was more like a quarrel between the two, not a unilateral bullying.

This delicate cub can hardly bear such a life, but Xie Changming told him that if he fails the end-of-year exam, the academy will display his name to the public.

When the time comes, everyone in the academy will know that the magnificent little Changming bird can't even pass the exam.

Between saving face and continuing to endure the pain, Sheng Liuyu chose to save face.

But you still have to touch fish, and you have to complain: "You are fierce, textbooks are boring, and books have to be memorized. I can't finish memorizing. Will such days come to an end?"

Speak very quietly, a bit like a spoiled child.

Xie Changming was very ruthless, and remained unmoved: "Life has always been so painful, and so is Tousheng. You didn't understand it before, but now that you have experienced it, you will know."

Sheng Liuyu lay on the table, unwilling to get up, but was picked up by Xie Changming, and continued to endorse.

How difficult life is, how difficult bird life is, but that's all.

Sheng Liuyu regretted making this request at the beginning. If I knew it was so, it would be better to tell the dean of the academy that he could go back to Xiaozhong Mountain to open an altar to worship the heavens, and calculate when he can reach the period of crossing the catastrophe, in exchange for the privilege of not having to take the end-of-year exam .

He glanced at Xie Changming who was standing next to him, this bastard was very serious, very unhuman, and had no respect for the divine bird at all.

Sorry for the first time.

After tossing around like this for a while, Sheng Liuyu pretended to be sick for too long, and the elders in the academy wanted to help him ask a doctor to come and see him. He could no longer pretend to be sick, so he had to go back to class, and Boshan Zhaoshini was finally transported into the academy.

Xie Changming gave Sheng Liuyu a day off without tutoring. He rented a remote bamboo house and set up an enchantment around it so that no one could disturb him.

The paint made of Boshan Zhaoshi Clay is white. When it is used with spiritual power, the paint will naturally change into the color that the master of spiritual power wants.

Xie Changming was silent for a long time facing the paint.

He cannot meditate.

Even after 20 years, he can still clearly remember the color and shape of each feather of Xie Xiaoqi.

Perhaps it was because when they met for the last time, Xie Changming knew that he was about to die, and he wanted to remember this bird that he had raised for more than ten years more clearly, so that even if his soul passed through Qishan, he couldn't forget it.

When he jumped into the abyss, what he thought was, if what those people said was true, if that fruit was the root of all evil, and if he didn't jump into the abyss, half of the world's creatures would randomly die, then such a result would not be too bad .

He jumped and died, Xie Xiaoqi will definitely not die.

He didn't jump, Xie Xiaoqi had a [-]/[-] chance of dying, but he didn't have a way to change this possibility.

So the result is neither good nor bad.

Xie Changming walked out of the house, and the mountain peaks in the distance were undulating, like layers of green waves, and if you look closely, there are countless tall trees.

All he wanted was for Xie Xiaoqi to perch on a tree within sight and land on his shoulders.

His mood finally calmed down.

After class on the second day, in the afternoon, Sheng Liuyu went to Zhushe as usual to make up lessons, but Xie Changming did not bring a book, but took out a wooden box with a forbidden spell on it.

The curse was so powerful that Sheng Liuyu was bounced away before he got close.

He asked unhappily: "What is this?"

Xie Changming said softly, "It's its portrait."

Sheng Liuyu reacted, a little surprised, he frowned slightly, and made a request: "I want to see."

Look what that bird looks like!

The author has something to say:

Xie Liu: Cold

bird: chirping
