Chang'an is a very old city.
It has gone through thousands of years of wind and rain, standing in the east of the mainland like an old tree in the mountains, and also standing in the hearts of every human race.
There have been countless young talents who have come here with dreams and enthusiasm, just to show their ambitions and pay homage to the prime minister.
There have also been countless heroes wrapped in lions and iron horses, trying to knock on its gates and see its peerless beauty. Some of them succeeded, so they were like the Holy Emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty today, sitting on thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, enjoying all the glory and wealth, but more importantly, the high city wall of Chang'an City became the last scenery of their lives.
This is Chang'an, a beautiful but thorny rose.
It is the imperial city of the Great Wei Dynasty and the palace of the Holy Emperor.
It is the northern capital that the Shu people look forward to, and it is also the hometown of the Xiliang Border Soldiers.
It is the fertility that the barbarians have been chasing for generations, and it is also the warmth that the demon lords dream of.
But for a hundred years, there has always been a male lion lying there, and his powerful arms have taken the capital in his arms, so that these vicious wolves can only sniff this piece of fat from a distance and roar, but none of them dare to really take food from it.
But now, the lion has fallen.
So, the remnants of the Han family climbed Mount Shu on this day. The barbarians of the Western Regions sounded the clarion call to recall the nine major clans, and the demon king of the northern land lit the beacon fire calling for the five demon monarchs.
At the same time, those wanderers who have been away from home for more than ten years finally set foot on the way home on this day.
Yuheng's funeral had been completed a few days ago, and although Xing Death would not leave his body after his death, he would have to leave his clothes and mounds. So Su Changan put the green shirt into the coffin, and buried Yuheng in the imperial mausoleum where the Great Wei royal family could only settle under the gaze of Su Jin in the city.
It was a high-standard funeral, according to the Holy Emperor's oracle, to be buried with the rites of the emperor.
Seventy-two people carried the coffin, sixty-four people led the flag, the whole country wore linen and filial piety for three days, the wine shop was closed, and the theater was boycotted. In short, such a funeral is unprecedented, and it can probably only be seen when the Holy Emperor dies.
But Su Changan was not happy at all because of this. Because Yuheng is dead, no matter how good and beautiful the funeral is, it doesn't matter to the dead.
And the one who killed Yuheng was still sitting in his prime minister's mansion, enjoying the flattery of the dignitaries.
Just thinking of this, Su Changan's heart was like a fire burning, and the fire made it difficult for him to breathe, almost suffocating. He longs to vent, but the reality is that he only has patience.
Before he had the strength to shred the wolf, he had to stay like a sheep in this Chang'an.
this day. It snowed lightly again in Chang'an City.
The two copies were sent from the Tingwei Mansion and the Eight Desolations Courtyard to the Taihe Palace.
And Su Changan didn't know all this, he just got up early as usual.
In addition to the sword, there was an extra sword case on his back, which contained the divine sword numbered Ten Directions. The sword box was found in Yu Heng's room, along with a letter that Yu Heng had left for him. It can be seen that perhaps Yuheng has long expected today's events.
Therefore, Su Changan also understood that he still had a lot of things to do.
And the most important thing at the moment is to rebuild Tenran-in.
That night's battle had almost completely destroyed the Tianlan Temple, leaving nothing more than seven attics, a library house, a few wings, and a lonely courtyard gate.
After Su Changan ate the breakfast sent by Fan Ruyue, he came to the gate of Tianlan Courtyard and tried to count the walls that needed to be repaired.
There are not many silver taels left in Tianlan Academy, and the specific amount has been handed over to Gu Xianjun to take care of. After the night's shock, the little marquis of the Northland was so stubborn that he decided to stay.
Gu Fangtian persuaded again and again, but finally couldn't resist his daughter, and remembered that Yuheng and his father and daughter had a life-saving grace, so he sighed and went back to the north.
When Su Changan came to the gate of the courtyard against the wind and snow, Mu Guiyun was already standing there early, pointing at a pile of broken bricks and tiles.
The son of the Taiwei is very open-minded, and he has not had any intention of leaving since he lived in Tianlanyuan. And after the fall of Yuheng, he moved a lot of daily clothes from the Taiwei Mansion, looking like he was going to live here for a long time. He even took out a thousand taels of silver, which is called the cost of renting a house.
Tianlanyuan is now facing a new catastrophe, and all kinds of ruins are waiting to be rebuilt. And the imperial court did not have the slightest intention of allocating some silver taels. Although Mu Guiyun's thousand taels are not much, renting the few tattered wings of Tianlan Courtyard is more than enough. Su Changan knew that he intended to help, so he accepted it after a slight hesitation.
"You're here!" Mu Guiyun turned his head when he heard the sound and saw the appearance of the person who came, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face. "I've already counted this one, and there are eighteen places that need to be repaired. I know some craftsmen in Chang'an, and when I count them all, I'll call them over. For the sake of my father's face, it is estimated that it will be a few percent less expensive. ”
Su Changan was moved when he heard this, and he tried his best to smile, but that smile looked so pale. So he could only whisper, "Thank you." ”
Mu Guiyun also knew that Su Changan was in a low mood, he stretched out his hand and patted Su Changan's shoulder gently, and said with a smile: "In this way, you count from here to there, and I count from that side to this side." When the total is combined, you can save a lot of time. ”
Su Changan answered yes with a low brow, turned around and walked in his direction.
Seeing this, Mu Guiyun couldn't help but sigh lightly, and knew that whenever he encountered this kind of thing, his mood would definitely not improve in a while, so he didn't say anything more, and walked in his direction.
But when Su Changan turned around, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a cyan figure out of the corner of his eye.
It was Qingluan, and it stood there at some point. She was looking at him, frowning slightly, as if she wanted to say something. But he seems to have some scruples, and he looks like he wants to say something.
Seeing this, Su Changan hesitated slightly.
After his initial confusion, shock, and even anger, he had already thought things through. Although I don't know why Qingluan would hide his identity and come to Tianlan Temple. But he never did anything harmful to him or Tianlanyuan from beginning to end.
And speaking of Yu Heng's heroic soul returning to the sea of stars, if there is no guidance from her requiem, maybe something will go wrong. It stands to reason that Su Changan should actually thank her. But when she thought of her sending Mo Tingyu away in the north more than two years ago, and sending Yuheng away in Tianlan Courtyard a few days ago, Su Changan's heart felt an indescribable response.
So these days, he has never taken the initiative to say a word to Qingluan, let alone the swordsmanship she taught.
And this time it was the same, he only glanced at Qingluan faintly in the end, and then turned his head and began to count the broken courtyard walls.
Qingluan's heart trembled inexplicably, she lowered her head, stood in the wind and snow, and was silent for a long time.
Tianlanin is actually a very large academy.
It took Su Changan and Mu Guiyun a whole day to clean up the walls on both sides.
In the evening, everyone gathered at the dining table of Yuheng Pavilion again, although the Tianlan Courtyard in the past was clean, there was still a hall for dining that should have been. But that battle destroyed Tianlan Courtyard overnight, so in desperation, everyone had to choose to dine in the Yuheng Pavilion, which had a large space.
But the atmosphere at the dinner table was very dull, everyone bowed their heads to eat, but no one spoke for a long time.
Mu Guiyun glanced left and right, and felt that this was not a very good thing, so he thought about it and decided to say something.
"Ahem. Chang'an, do you have any plans for the future?" he asked.
At this time, it is a very serious question, but everyone has not dared to mention it recently.
Yuheng's soul returns to the sea of stars, and Kaiyang hides from the world. Tianlan Academy now only has one successor, Su Changan, and at most half of Gu Xianjun's disciples. And everyone also knew that the academy behind Tianlan had long been eyeing the throne of the world's number one academy. Competing with Su Changan's meager strength is tantamount to using a mantis arm as a car.
And the most important thing is that the wolves in Chang'an City who are eyeing the divine sword Shifang in Su Chang'an's hand and the sword that was handed down by Mo Tingyu and awarded by Mo Tingyu.
These people had been looking forward to Yu Heng's death for a long time, and this long-awaited opportunity has finally arrived, and everyone believes that it is only a matter of time before they do it.
Therefore, how Su Changan is ready to face these upcoming or already coming problems is the thing that everyone is most concerned about at present. So when Mu Guiyun asked this question, although everyone was still eating with their heads down, their ears were pricked up at this time, waiting for Su Changan to answer.
And Su Changan's actions did pause because of this question. He seemed to think for a while before he said, "I want to revitalize Tianlan Academy!"
When he said this, his cold voice became firm, and his low eyes suddenly flashed with light.
Everyone was stunned at this moment.
They never thought that Su Changan would give such an answer, so they all stopped the dishes and chopsticks in their hands and looked at Su Changan, they really wanted to ask him how to revive Tianlan in such an environment surrounded by wolves. But the firmness in the young man's eyes made them unable to say anything.
In their hearts, they just regard this sentence as the temporary anger of a teenager who has just met a big change.
But at this time, Qingluan, who had never spoken, suddenly put down the dishes and chopsticks and said softly: "I'll help you." ”
Everyone was shocked, and then suddenly there was a sound in Tianlan Courtyard, in addition to the hidden Kaiyang, in fact, there has always been a star death-Qingluan.
But Qingluan's identity is too special. She claimed to be the descendant of Kaiyang and lived in Tianlan Temple. But it's the mourner of the Star Pavilion again. Therefore, it is easy for people to ignore her identity as a disciple of Tianlan True Inheritance.
And since she said that she was willing to help Su Changan, it means that she herself should also agree with her identity. Then Tianlan Yuan will have another star in charge, so the so-called revitalization of Tianlan Yuan is not as unattainable as imagined. As soon as they thought of this, the eyes of everyone couldn't help but become eager.
But Su Changan's face did not change in the slightest because of this, he just glanced at Qingluan lightly, and said, "How can you help me?
As soon as these words came out, Qingluan's delicate body was shocked.
She just wanted to make Su Changan happy, Fan Ruyue once told her that if she likes someone, she must work hard to make him happy. That's why she said what she just said, but after Su Changan's reminder, she realized that she couldn't do much. The formidable name of the Star Pavilion Undertaker was nothing more than a shackle that bound her at this time.
For the first time, she was a little dissatisfied with Xingchen Pavilion.
She wanted to say something, but when she looked up, she met Su Changan's eyes, and she couldn't help but panic in her heart, who was not good at words. She had buried his master on a snowy night two years ago, and Yuheng a few days ago. Of course, in the final analysis, their deaths are all doomed, and it is not unrelated to her, even if she doesn't come, the Star Pavilion will send other mourners to come.
Although this is the case, she still felt a little guilty about Su Changan for no reason. At this time, she finally understood that there are many things in this world, but there is no reason to talk about them.
Su Changan looked at Qingluan, whose expression on his face was changing, and his heart was also mixed.
Yu Heng had already confirmed Qingluan's identity to him in his heart, and also explained the situation of Xingchen Pavilion to him, and emphasized that his death had nothing to do with Qingluan. But Su Changan's heart was not angry.
He didn't want to believe it, and he didn't want to accept it. The girl who had hugged him under the stars and whispered "I like you" in his ear was the Apostle of the Star Pavilion who had buried his two elders.
Some inexplicable emotions made him can't help but speak ill of this girl.
"Uncle Shi has already returned to the sea of stars. I think your mission has been accomplished, and it's almost time to go back to your Star Pavilion. Su Changan finally said with a smile.
Qingluan felt some grievances in her heart when she heard this, she wanted to say that she still needed to bury the Holy Emperor of Great Wei, but such a thing could not be revealed casually. What's more, saying it may cause Su Changan to become more and more dissatisfied.
So she gritted her silver teeth, and only after a while did she say, "I can help you avenge your uncle!"
This time Su Changan was stunned, Qingluan's words revealed an important message. Xingchen Pavilion is a powerful existence outside of transcendent things, because of some kind of rule restriction that Yu Heng does not know, it rarely interferes in the world. But there is one exception, such as the remnants of the previous era, the so-called Protoss. The Star Pavilion has been secretly hunting down these Protoss.
And Qingluan said frankly that she could help him avenge Yuheng, so it also shows that Sima Xu is undoubtedly a god!
Su Changan's heart couldn't help but be shocked, although many things have pointed the finger at Sima Xu, but after all, it is just speculation, and from the moment he is confirmed. Su Changan couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle.
The dignified Prime Minister of Great Wei turned out to be a pawn planted by the Protoss in Great Wei. And the crown prince seems to be quite close to him, and now that the Holy Emperor is alive, it is okay, if one day the prince really inherits the unification, with the prince's dependence on Sima Xu, the consequences are unimaginable.
For this reason, Su Changan turned his head to look at Qingluan. But he asked a question that he had been hiding in his heart since he knew her true identity.
"Do you know anything about me?" he asked.
This was an ambiguous question for everyone present, but Su Changan knew that Qingluan must understand what he was talking about.
"I know. ”
"What are you going to do?"
"When that day comes, I will kill you with my own hands. She said this, and a cold aura gushed out of her body almost as if it were substance.
"But until then, I promise not to let anyone know about it. ”
