The Sword of the Hanging Peak: Lingwan Chapter
"It's on fire!"
"Who set the fire!"
Ling Wannei shouted one after another, not only did this group of students not panic, their words were full of surprise, the dull books made them wish that something would happen, of course the fire could not be taken to their hearts, but it was best to take this opportunity to slip away.
Teachers in various areas had to evacuate their students, the fire was still spreading, billowing smoke covered most of Lingwan, trees were everywhere, and many buildings were stuck in the middle of the bushes, and even the doors could not be opened.
Spiritual Zone.
"Don't mess around, what did I teach you in my usual life, didn't I always want to try it, cut down all these trees, and then control the fire for me. ”
"Yes!"
For a while, hundreds of spiritual arrays emerged, and rich spiritual power gathered.
The blades of light shuttled like rain, falling down the trees outside the building one by one, filling the smoke and dust, although messy, but everyone had a measured shot, neither hurting the people around them, nor affecting the building, but some trees were too close to the house, and they were still leaning on the house after being cut off.
"What the hell is going on with these trees?"
"Didn't you feel that fluctuation of spiritual power? These trees only appeared after that. ”
"The spirit pillar is gone!"
"Could it be Mr. Yu'......?"
"What can I do, maybe I'm doing some experiments, and then I'll ......"
"I think it's time to apply for a raise, there is no guarantee of personal safety in this place, and there may be a 'boom' at any time, and everyone will be blown up together. ”
"Come on, look at the science and technology zone, the explosions at both ends in three days, you're used to it. ”
Several teachers in the Lingfa District looked at each other and smiled bitterly, although it had nothing to do with them, but Lingwan was the source of the incident, and this mess would eventually be spread on their heads, but Teacher Ye did not participate in the discussion, he followed his students quietly, in case there was any accident, especially this Mo Ling'er, anyone could have an accident, but she, no.
Science and Technology Zone.
"Hurry up and put out the fire! These trees still need to be studied!"
Some fanatics roared anxiously, they had only learned a little bit of the skin of the spiritual way, and they could neither cast spells at will like the spiritual magic area, nor could they pick up swords and slash all the way out like the spiritual martial arts area.
But they also have their own advantages, that is, all kinds of strange things, explosives mixed through a series of complex formulas, only one kilogram, originally just wanted to open a door, almost even the classroom was blown up in the sky.
They were all covered in smoke, their hair was burnt, their white coats were gray, their ears were buzzing, and they had to shout loudly to barely hear each other.
The teacher doesn't care about them, or the teacher is more fanatical than them, and he puts out the fire with a pipe on his shoulder, these inexplicable trees are too rare for them, and the whole Lingwan, they are the most active in fighting fires.
The worst is probably the teacher in the literary district, who has read so many books on weekdays, learned history, politics, calligraphy and painting, and the cultivation of the aristocracy, but now none of them can help.
Some boys want to take this opportunity to show their heroism, but the truth is very cruel, even a wrist-thick tree they have to cut for a long time, their hands are numb, the tree is still crumbling, but it provokes the girls to laugh.
Most of the students in the literary and artistic area have no interest in spiritual Taoism, not only because of insufficient talent, but also because there are not many things that really need to be solved by force in this world, and they prefer to cultivate themselves and become writers, painters, and operators.
Only their teacher suffered, four or five people protected the large group of students behind him, fortunately it was far away from the source of the fire, and it had not spread here, otherwise it would definitely be a mess, and there would be some accident, burning one or two noble students, maybe forced by Lingwan's status, those aristocratic families would not do anything to them, but I am afraid that my teacher will also be the end.
I don't know who set this fire, these teachers simply hate it, this is simply aimed at their literary and artistic district.
In the end, under the efforts of the Science and Technology District, the Lingfa District, the Lingwu District, and the delineation of the Literature and Art District, the trees in Lingwan were cut down, the fire was extinguished, the houses were burned down, and the crushed ones were crushed, which was really a mess, but the materials were also ready-made, so many trees, let alone repaired, it was more than enough to build another Lingwan.
The person who had been hiding in the Bailing Pagoda had to show up under pressure from all sides, saying that it was a small accident, of course, everyone knew that he was, but the royal family did not pursue it, but only symbolically blamed the person, after all, the identity of the person was there, and it was an accident if it was an accident.
They were happy to do so, the North Leaf Country was already short of vegetation and trees, and the materials for construction always had to be brought in from outside, so many projects were delayed again and again, so much wood, naturally, all of them were recovered by the royal family, they promised to repair the damaged buildings in the city, and before that, they ordered the nobles to temporarily take in the commoners.
It's winter now, the winter in the North Wind City is different from the south, you have to stay outside the house for a night, it is absolutely frozen as hard as the city wall, of course the noble royal family is not worried, they have a castle house, but what should the commoners do?
Only a king who thinks about the will of the people can hold the throne for a long time.
Some of the nobles complained about this decision, they had always valued class, and were accustomed to superiority, but now they had to take in these commoners, who were as low as rats in their eyes, which they could not bear.
But this is only a part, those high-ranking dukes and marquis did not say a word, immediately opened their territory, let those guards take the initiative to inquire on the street, but if there are any houses destroyed, take them back, not only to eat and live, but also to compensate them a lot of leaf gold.
Inside the Winter Palace of the North Wind City.
There were only two people in the empty hall.
On the top of the throne carved by ice and snow hung an iron sword, with a horsehair wrapped around the hilt, hanging from a small ring on the roof, shaking very slightly, as if it would fall at any moment.
There was a man sitting on the throne, his face could not be seen clearly, and in front of him was a curtain of water, which rushed down from the top and fell into the pool in front of him, splashing with cold water and the sound of water flowing endlessly.
"Teacher, don't you have anything to say?" The cold voice echoed through the water curtain like the iron sword hanging from the throne, echoing throughout the palace.
Standing in front of the king, he bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, I have already said everything I should say, I wonder why you still send me here?"
"Teacher, we have known each other for more than forty years, everything I will will be taught by you, accident? Don't say I don't believe it, even they don't believe it, if you are still your student, tell me the truth. The king looked directly into the eyes of the Emperor, and as the king of the Northern Leaf Kingdom, he must be responsible for his country, and the words of the Emperor were not enough to dismiss him.
"Your Majesty, do you remember why there is a sword hanging from this?" asked, pointing to the iron sword that hung over the throne.
"Rights and responsibilities are relative, when a person loses the restraint, it is the beginning of destruction, this is what the teacher said, so many years I have been in my heart, dare not forget, hanging the sword on the top, is the student's constraint on himself, just like this water curtain, the people below can not see clearly, but the student is examining himself every day. The king said.
"This sword hangs above your head, and you can see it every day, but if it does fall one day, will you hide?" asked with a smile.
The king didn't know how to answer for a while, would he hide?
Maybe the problem will only be known when it actually falls.
"If it were a teacher, would you hide?" asked the king.
"I'm not going to dodge because I can't see and I can't dodge, but if it falls, I think I'll be happy. After a pause, he continued, "Your Majesty, self-restraint should not be superficial, if you say it is true, it is true, if you say it is false, those princes will not dare to oppose you. ”
The king was silent, through the water curtain, he couldn't see the teacher's face clearly, he only felt that he was getting older and older, and his back was not as straight as before, the three words guardian bent the waist of this legendary figure, he was just carrying a kingdom, but his teacher was carrying much more than himself, too heavy.
"Teacher, I'm not mistaken, Lingwan will be enrolled in another month, and Yue and Ziluo are not young, I will let them pass. The king digressed and said that he did not want to continue the dreary atmosphere.
"Those two little guys, I remember that I almost burned your library last time, you can't control it, I can't afford to toss an old bone, you can find some bachelors to teach them, Lingwan has a lot of rules, I'm afraid they won't be able to stay and run back." She smiled, and there was a touch of softness in her eyes.
"I punished them for a month and didn't let them go out, these days it's much more honest, those bachelors are not reliable, where can it be compared to Lingwan, I believe that the teacher will have a way, you don't need to get used to them, you should be punished, if it is really too much, you will expel them, I will not interfere." The king said that his origin meant that he would not spoil his children too much.
The illegitimate son of the previous generation of kings, unable to inherit the surname, let alone inherit the throne, and was despised by everyone, he had seen enough cold eyes, had heard enough ridicule, his mother was just a maid, the lowest class, he was also regarded as a mongrel who insulted the royal family, and was assassinated many times.
But he survived, and at first he was reluctant to fight, but hoped to escape from this place of right and wrong with his mother, and find a place to live in peace until the day he saw his mother's head stuck in the walls of the royal city.
The last Pure Land was lost, and his life was nothing but strife and bloodshed.
A patient who is born in sorrow may not die in peace, because he will never feel happiness.
