Chapter 237: Sorrow
A.D. 2298, late autumn.
Two hundred years after the revival of Reiki.
This is an era when technology and aura coexist.
On a high-speed train from Nam Tien Province to Dong Hui Province.
In the carriage, a young man in black leaned on a seat, holding a book in his hand and reading, the book has no title, the cover is similar to an ancient book, the pages have been yellowed, and even festered, and many words are not clear.
Such a shabby book, but the young man in black reads it with relish.
"Born fearless, fight to the end!"
This is the end of the last page.
After reading it, Shen Che rubbed his eyes, put the books in his backpack, and looked around at the other people in the carriage.
Modern humans and machines are always in their hands, and almost everyone is staring at the phone screen with their heads down.
This seems to be a train car in the style of modern painting, but it always makes people feel that something is not quite right.
That's right, among these modern costumes there are several longswords that look exquisitely cast, but in fact are not as good as hollow iron.
"There are a lot of swordsmen in Donghui Province..."
What is a swordsman?
The mind controls the sword, just like the flying sword in martial arts, taking people's heads thousands of miles away.
This is the swordsman.
Shen Che's gaze swept over in a hurry, and finally stopped at the three teenagers in the last row.
The three teenagers all looked about the same age, about sixteen or seventeen years old, they were white and clean, and their clothes were also very outstanding, and they knew that they were from a good family.
Shen Che didn't pay attention to this, but stared at the round badges pinned to the chests of these teenagers.
The badge is silver in color and is made of steel.
There is only one letter engraved on the coat of arms - V.
"A student of Sunset Academy?"
Shen Che took out the exact same badge from his pocket, except that there was an extra five-pointed star under the letter 'V' of his badge, which was a teacher's special badge.
A few hours ago, Shen Che received a courier email, which contained this badge, as well as an invitation letter to hire him to become a teacher at the Sunset Immortal Academy, and the salary invitation letter was written.
500,000 wages a year.
Shen Che couldn't resist the temptation of money, and after receiving the email, he casually packed his clothes and hurriedly went out, wanting to rush to the Sunset Immortal Academy to report as quickly as possible, for fear that this beauty would be snatched away by others.
However, his wallet was shy, and Shen Che could only take the high-speed train with a slightly slower speed.
"What are you doing!"
Someone in the back row suddenly shouted.
Shen Che followed the voice, and the two teenagers stared greedily at the backpack that the other teenager was holding tightly in his arms, as if there was some treasure in it.
"Qiao Ye, you kid didn't tell us if you have spirit stones? If I hadn't just glanced at your backpack, wouldn't you kid sneak the spirit stones into the academy?"
A slightly fat teenager said.
"The spirit stone is originally mine, why should I sneak around?" the thin boy retorted.
"Qiao Ye, this thing is too precious, I'm worried that your spirit stone will be snatched away by others, why don't you put it here for the time being?" I'll keep it for you, and I'll return it to you when you need it in the future." ”
Another good-looking teenager said.
Qiao Ye didn't even think about refusing immediately, "I don't want it!"
"I have such a good relationship with you, are you still afraid that I will take your spirit stone and not return it to you?"
The good-looking young man frowned, already a little displeased.
Qiao Ye hugged his backpack tightly, "I won't give it to you." ”
"Grind and chirp, just grab it. ”
The slightly fat young man got up and walked towards Qiao Ye, Qiao Ye moved his body in horror until his back touched the wall, he knew that he had no way back, so he shouted loudly:
"Robbery!"
The sound resounded almost throughout the carriage, but no one paid attention to Qiao Ye's cries for help.
Almost all of the people sitting in the carriage were students who went to study at the Sunset Immortal Academy, and they all knew the two teenagers who snatched the spirit stones.
The slightly blessed young man is named Zhong Jing, the name is good, but the character is very poor, notorious, and the students in the school are like seeing a plague god when they see him, hiding far away.
The good-looking young man is named Wei Ziang, the son of an immortal master, and often relies on his father to be an immortal master.
They all went to study, and if they offended Wei Ziang at this time, I am afraid that there would be no chance to study.
Sunset Immortal Academy is the highest immortal cultivation school in the empire, and almost all seventeen or eighteen-year-old teenagers want to be admitted to this academy, but the questions in the entrance examination are very harsh, and there are not a few people who are eliminated.
"You..."
Looking at the passengers who didn't even look back, Qiao Ye only felt very aggrieved in his heart.
Is there no one to take care of robberies in public?
Zhong Jing had already stretched out his hand and wanted to snatch the backpack directly from Qiao Ye's arms, Qiao Ye didn't want to lose the spirit stone, so he grabbed the backpack into his arms, and Zhong Jing couldn't pull it away.
"Let go, let go!"
The two roars didn't work, and the annoyed Zhong Jing's other hand was raised high, and when he was about to fan Qiao Ye's face, a calloused sturdy palm pinched his wrist tightly, this hand seemed to have infinite strength, no matter how Zhong Jing struggled, he couldn't break free.
Shen Che didn't like to meddle in things, but he thought to himself, maybe Qiao Ye would be his student in the future, if Qiao Ye spread the rumor in the academy in the future, saying that he would stand by and watch when he saw his students being robbed, would he still be mixed up in the academy?
Shen Che pays a lot of attention to fame, so he made a move.
"Who are you, let me go!" Zhong Jing said in a commanding tone.
Shen Che let go of his hand and said lightly: "I can be regarded as a teacher in your academy." ”
"Just you?"
Zhong Jing looked at Shen Che and shook his head disdainfully.
"Please don't slander our Sunset Immortal Academy, if you are also an immortal master, wouldn't any rat be an immortal master of our Sunset Immortal Academy?"
Wei Ziang stood up and said.
"What if I'm really a teacher at your academy?" asked Shen Che.
Wei Ziang seemed to have heard a big joke, and he laughed sarcastically: "If you were an immortal master, I would jump out of the carriage and fall to my death right now." ”
"I'm not interested in your life or death, so if I'm a teacher in your academy, then you can't rob this student's spirit stone anymore, how about it?" Shen Che asked.
"Okay!"
Wei Ziang didn't believe that Shen Che would be an immortal master in the academy, after all, his father was an immortal master, how harsh the assessment of becoming an immortal master was Wei Ziang knew very well that the young man in front of him, who was less than twenty-four years old, didn't look like a person who could pass the assessment.
However, the badge that Shen Che took out of his pocket made his eyes widen in surprise.
"It's... A special badge for the Immortal Master?"
Wei Ziang knew this badge.
"How is this possible?" Zhong Jing exclaimed.
Shen Che was afraid that these two people would be short-sighted, so he deliberately brought it to them, and when he felt that it was about the same, Shen Che took back the badge.
"You believe it this time, right? ”
Shen Che thought about whether he should teach them from the teacher's point of view, but considering that his eloquence was not very good, he dispelled this idea.
"You dare to forge the Immortal Master's badge!" Zhong Jing said angrily.
"Forgery?" Shen Che smiled, "This badge was sent to me by the academy, do you mean that the badges of the academy are all forged? ”
"You!"
Zhong Jing was speechless, not knowing how to refute.
Zhong Jing looked at Qiao Ye who was timid in the corner, and he suddenly grinned: "Okay, I'm too lazy to bother with you, it's just that I'm going to decide on this guy's spirit stone, if you don't want to suffer hardship, just obediently flash it to me." ”
"You don't keep your word?"
Shen Che frowned slightly.
Zhong Jing smiled, "It was Wei Ziang who promised you not to rob the spirit stone, and it wasn't me, what do I do to you?"
As he spoke, Zhong Jing pushed Shen Che away and rudely tugged Qiao Ye's backpack.
"It seems that I, as a teacher, have to teach you how to do it first. "Chinese
The corners of Shen Che's mouth turned up slightly, and he used his mind to control the dagger in his bag.
With a "whoosh", the dagger burst out of the backpack that had not yet been zipped, and it seemed to be full of life, flying straight towards Shen Che.
The dagger stopped in front of Zhong Jing's throat, looking at the sharp blade close at hand, Zhong Jing swallowed his saliva, and did not dare to act rashly, his eyes were full of horror and disbelief.
He didn't expect Shen Che to be a swordsman, and he didn't expect Shen Che to be so bold, controlling the dagger in public to levitate in front of his throat, as long as Shen Che's mind moved, he would definitely die.
"Let go, don't challenge my bottom line. Shen Che said coldly.
Zhong Jing knew that Shen Che didn't dare to kill him, but after all, he was seventeen or eighteen years old and had a shallow vision, and he didn't dare to gamble with his life, so he could only stop stupidly.
"Do you still want to fight the idea of the spirit stone?" asked Shen Che.
Zhong Jing and Wei Ziang were young and frivolous, but they were not crazy to the point of being brainless, they were just the flesh of ordinary people, how could they dare to follow Shen Che, who was intent on controlling the dagger?
They shook their heads.
"Very well, I'm also going to the academy, and I'll keep an eye on you all the time, if I find any small moves from you..."
Shen Che manipulated the dagger with his mind, scurrying around in front of Zhong Jing and Wei Ziang's eyes, causing their legs to tremble in fright.
Being so frightened by Shen Che, they were a lot more honest, and they didn't bully Qiao Ye again along the way.
Out of the high-speed rail station, Qiao Ye was worried that Wei Ziang would not give up, so he went to the Sunset Immortal Academy with Shen Che on the grounds of "leading the way".
"Are you really an immortal master?" Qiao Ye asked.
"Not yet. Shen Che said.
"What do you mean it's not yet?" Qiao Ye asked.
Shen Che smiled and told Qiao Ye about the school's hiring of him as a teacher, Qiao Ye's mouth opened wide in surprise, he thought to himself, what kind of virtue can this young man have?
Qiao Ye broke the casserole and asked to the end, but Shen Che always cleverly avoided the topic.
…………
Sunset Academy is located away from the hustle and bustle of the city center, on the out-of-the-way border.
The school covers a large area, like a miniature town, and is beautifully decorated, and a lot of money is invested at first glance.
At the main entrance of the school, a hunched old man checked whether the students who entered were wearing badges, and most of the people who did not have badges came to take the entrance examination, and the old man asked them to go to the security booth to register before they could enter the school.
Shen Che pinned the badge to his chest and was about to enter the academy, but was stopped by the old man.
"Is there something wrong?" asked Shen Che.
"This is a special badge for immortal masters, right? I see that you are very fresh, you should be a newly hired immortal master from the academy, right?" the old man said.
"Yes. Shen Che nodded.
"Come with me. ”
The old man called the security guard to take his place, and then put his hands behind his back and slowly led Shen Che to an office building of the academy.
In the conference room, the top administrator of the academy was discussing the teaching system for the new semester with the immortal masters, when a sudden knock on the door caused them to suspend the discussion.
"Come in. As soon as the manager's words fell, the door was pushed open by the old man.
"Sir, this is the immortal master you hired. ”
As soon as the old man said this, all the immortal masters in the conference room looked out of the door, and behind the old man stood a young man who was not yet twenty-four years old.
"He's the new Immortal Master?"
"Why are you so young? You can't get in by connections, right?"
There was a lot of discussion among the immortal masters, and they were basically over thirty years old who entered the academy to preach, so it was inevitable that they would be sour when they saw the first immortal master in history who was less than twenty-four years old.
The manager coughed twice, and the chatter in the conference room immediately disappeared.
"You're Shen Che, right?" the manager asked knowingly.
Shen Che nodded.
"I am the top administrator of the Sunset Immortal Academy, you can call me Mr. Zhou, I am older than you, and it is not a disadvantage for you to call me Mr. Sheng. ”
A brief introduction of the manager's self-introduction.
"You have just entered the academy and have little teaching experience, so how about I arrange a teaching assistant position for you first?"
The manager asked Shen Che's opinion.
"The salary..."Shen Che said slowly.
"The salary is the same as on the invitation letter, and the university will send you the full amount after one year of work, so you don't have to worry about this. ”
"As long as the salary meets my standard, I don't care about my position or anything. ”
The manager nodded, and gave an eviction order: "At present, I can't arrange a suitable immortal master for you, you go to the dormitory to put your luggage first, if you find that there is an immortal master who needs a teaching assistant and is suitable for you, I will inform you." ”
The old man closed the door, "Come with me." ”
The identity of the immortal master is respected, and the school will naturally not slack off.
The dormitory building is very luxuriously decorated, and the environment is also very comfortable, at first glance, I thought it was a five-star hotel, and the teaching assistant would become an immortal master in the future, so the living environment was not much worse than that of the immortal master.
Shen Che didn't bring much luggage, only a backpack.
Shen Che put the backpack on the shoe cabinet and asked, "When will they come to inform me?"
The old man shook his head, "I don't know, it shouldn't be too long." Do you need me to take you to familiarize yourself with the school?"
"No, I'll go around by myself when I have time, if you have something to do, go ahead and get busy. Shen Che said.
After the old man left, Shen Che took out the dagger from his backpack, and as soon as his mind moved, the dagger burst out of his palm and scurried around the room.
Under Shen Che's control, the dagger cleverly avoided all the ornaments and shuttled freely through the room.
In his spare time, Shen Che likes to exercise his ability to manipulate the dagger to pass the time, and after a long time of exercise, the dagger has almost become a part of Shen Che, and the spiritual connection between the two is extremely strong.
A few hours later, Shen Che was still playing with the dagger.
The knock on the door suddenly sounded, and Shen Che withdrew his dagger and went to open the door.
At the doorway stood a dark-skinned man in a suit, his muscles bulging, as if he would open the buttons on his chest at any moment.
The man's face was grim and wrinkled, giving people a sense of not being angry and arrogant.
Shen Che's gaze finally fell on the badge pinned to the man's chest, which, like his, had a conspicuous five-pointed star engraved under the letter "V".
"Are you?" asked Shen Che.
"I am Wei Chen, who is responsible for teaching the actual combat of Class 3 of the second grade, and Mr. Zhou arranged for you to be my teaching assistant. ”
The man in the suit looked at Shen Che quietly, the immortal masters who taught actual combat all had a certain amount of actual combat experience, Shen Che's skin was fair, and although his body was strong, he could only barely pass the test.
Such a person is also worthy of teaching actual combat?
"Hello, my name is Shen Che. ”
Shen Che generously stretched out his hand.
Wei Chen didn't stretch out his hand, he said solemnly: "I don't know how you got in, but I'm telling you, don't make trouble for me in my class in the future." ”
Shen Che was stunned and said, "Don't worry, I have my own measure." ”
"I heard that you are a sword master?" Wei Chen's tone softened slightly.
Shen Che nodded suspiciously and asked, "Who did you listen to?"
Wei Chen smiled sadly: "You are very majestic! dare to teach my son a lesson on the high-speed train." ”
"Your son?" Shen Che was even more puzzled.
"I don't know where you come from, but it's your fault to teach my son without my permission, and if you apologize to me now, I won't bother with you." ”
Wei Chen pretended to be magnanimous.
Shen Che understood that Wei Chen was here to find fault.
In this regard, Shen Che said unceremoniously: "Why do you want me to apologize? Your son robbed on the high-speed train, what's wrong with me teaching him a lesson?"
Wei Chen frowned, "Just because I'm an immortal master." ”
"What's wrong with the Immortal Master? Can the Immortal Master do anything wrong? Can the Immortal Master's son rob in public?" Shen Che asked.
"You!"
Wei Chen glared at Shen Che, but he didn't know how to refute it.
Wei Chen deserved to be an immortal master, and he quickly calmed down, he smiled coldly: "I'm too lazy to compare my words with you, there will be a practical class tomorrow afternoon, and then I will let you kneel down and beg me to forgive you." ”
"Well, I'm going to see what you can do to get me to apologize to you. Shen Che said.
Wei Chen sneered and strode away.
