Lord of Nine Stars

"Ring, ring." In the principal's office of Songjiang Hunwu University, the old-fashioned telephone with a wired line buzzed.

In the dark room, a slightly stooped figure wearing thin clothes came to the desk tremblingly and picked up the phone receiver: "Who."

Mei Hongyu's face was a little solemn, and phone calls in the middle of the night were usually not good.

"Principal Mei, I'm sorry to disturb you so late. Professor Wang Tianzhu has left the library." A young teacher's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Leave." Mei Hongyu confirmed.

"Yes, principal, I once asked Professor Wang Tianzhu where she was going so late and if she needed to be accompanied, but she looked a little dazed and ignored me.

There's obviously something wrong with Professor Zhu's condition, you see."

Mei Hongyu: "When?"

"Just now, she was heading towards the school gate, and I didn't dare to stop her."

"Yeah." Mei Hongyu frowned, put down the phone receiver, and turned to look out the window at the night.

At the same time, the south gate of Songjiang Hunwu School.

The two students who were keeping watch at night couldn't help but look shocked when they saw a "monk and nun" approaching.

Students who can guard the school gate at night are of course senior students.

Although students have rarely seen Professor Wang Tianzhu in the past few years, such a unique appearance immediately reminded the two students of this reclusive librarian.

"Professor Wang?"

"Professor Zhu?" Two students asked tentatively. They noticed movement at the gate, and several more students walked out of the duty room.

Unfortunately, the respectful greetings from the students did not receive any response.

The students had little contact with this "pine soul sweeping monk" figure and could not figure out Wang Tianzhu's temper. Seeing her walking towards the iron gate, the students hurriedly opened the door.

Wang Tianzhu is a teacher. If she wants to leave, she naturally does not need to explain the reasons to the students.

To put it bluntly, Wang Tianzhu is a powerful soul warrior, not something that a few college students can control.

only

The characteristics of Songjiang Soul City are still there. Late at night, the street lights have long been extinguished. Leaving the brightly lit campus, Wang Tianzhu walked alone into the snowy night.

Such a picture left several students confused. One of them hurriedly returned to the duty room and contacted the teacher on duty.

As soon as the student here made a phone call, a figure fell down.

"Principal Mei."

"Principal Mei!" Several students with sharp eyes spoke hurriedly.

"Have you seen Professor Zhu?" Mei Hongyu's hoarse voice was very distinctive, and it made people's hair stand on end in the dark night.

"Yes, principal! Professor Zhu just went out and walked west along the street."

Phew~

The students only felt a blur in front of their eyes, and the old principal rose and fell into the night.

Although the streets of Songjiang Huncheng were covered with snow and silver, it was not as cold as imagined.

Against the backdrop of the lanterns and paper cages, Mei Hongyu tapped her toes and swayed forward, and found the figure of the lonely monk and nun.

With just one glance, Mei Hongyu felt that something was wrong!

To an insider, Wang Tianzhu's steps were too heavy.

Even if she doesn't use Snow Step and doesn't want to step on the snow without leaving a trace, the "squeaking" sound made when the pair of cloth shoes come into contact with the white snow can still attract people's attention and reveal her position.

Whether it is Mei Hongyu or Wang Tianzhu, they are top-notch soul warriors who have been killed in the blood sea of ​​corpses, and they are even ancient gods who have witnessed the rise and fall of the northern snow realm. How could they make such a low-level mistake?

The habits left behind on the battlefield of life and death have been integrated into the body's instincts, unless

Mei Hongyu jumped lightly and landed beside Wang Tianzhu, walking with her, saying in a hoarse voice: "Tianzhu."

There was no response. The expressionless monk and nun seemed to be immersed in their own world.

Mei Hongyu put his withered palm on the monk and nun's shoulder and spoke again: "Tianzhu?"

Finally, the monks and nuns had some reaction.

She was indeed in a daze. She turned her head and looked at the person walking beside her for a long time before nodding in response: "Hongyu."

Facing his old comrades who had fought in the same period, Mei Hongyu showed a rare kindness and smiled softly: "What, come out for some air?"

Wang Tianzhu was silent for a moment and then said, "Go to some places and go back to your hometown to visit."

Mei Hongyu:? ? ?

Hometown?

Mei Hongyu thought that he was not old enough to be confused. Wang Tianzhu's home was at Songjiang Hunwu University.

She has never married, and she has been guarding Songjiang Hunwu for decades. During the war, she was occasionally sent to Wan'anguan to guard the city wall.

The snow environment covers almost the entire life trajectory of Wang Tianzhu, except for the years when she was young.

Her hometown is located outside the snow realm!

Mei Hongyu had a vague premonition in his heart: "Do you think you are ill?"

Although Wang Tianzhu looks much younger than Mei Hongyu, Song Zhumei is a contemporary.

Chinese people do pay attention to returning fallen leaves to their roots.

This was the only reason Mei Hongyu could think of for Wang Tianzhu to leave without saying goodbye.

"No, I haven't reached the point where I'm going to die of old age." Wang Tianzhu finally had some expression on his face, but his smile was a little bitter. "My brain is a little confused, and some memories are flooding in. I think I have to go back to my childhood." Check out the place."

To be honest, Mei Hongyu really thought that his old comrade was exhausted. When he heard her say this, Mei Hongyu breathed a sigh of relief.

Ordinary old people can vaguely detect something when they are about to die, let alone this group of soul warriors who are destroying the world.

This kind of people have a very high degree of development of their bodies and their judgment of body functions is extremely accurate.

Mei Hongyu, who knew her old friend well and knew that she couldn't speak, relaxed and said doubtfully: "It's not like you to leave so eagerly."

It is indeed too abnormal for the mountain guarding Pine Soul to leave without saying goodbye.

"Yes, which one is the real me?" Wang Tianzhu sighed softly, "Is this world real?"

Mei Hongyu was completely confused. It was Wang Tianzhu who was talking to him. If it were another person, he would have kicked him!

"Hongyu."

"explain."

Wang Tianzhu: “In my mind, memories were suddenly unblocked.

In those memories, the things I experienced and the people I met when I was young were not consistent with my knowledge.

It's like I'm looking at a stranger's childhood memories, but when I think about it carefully, that stranger seems to be me. "

Mei Hongyu looked at Wang Tianzhu silently. Under the natural laws of birth, aging, illness and death, it was possible for her to suffer from any disease at such an age.

It would be fine if she was just an ordinary old lady.

But Wang Tianzhu?

And he is still Wang Tianzhu who wants to step out of the snow realm and enter human society?

If any accident occurs, it will be an unimaginable disaster for society!

Mei Hongyu pondered for a moment and then said: "In that case, I will accompany you to have a look."

Wang Tianzhu shook his head gently: "Go back, Hongyu, take care of Songjiang Hunwu, and stand on the last guard."

"I have stood on this last post long enough." Mei Hongyu laughed dumbly and moved forward tremblingly, "If you want to go to a snowy land, summoning the Snowy Night Terror is a good choice."

Wang Tianzhu: "."

Even a fool can see Mei Hongyu's inner worry.

And Principal Mei did not hide this feeling. He pointed out the matter of "rushing to summon snowy night terrors" very straightforwardly, which was telling Wang Tianzhu that he hoped you would recognize the trance state you are in at this moment.

For a certain kind of people, every day they live is history.

For example, Mei Hongyu is at this moment.

No one would have thought that Principal Mei, who had stood in the Snow Realm for decades carrying the banner of the Snow Realm Soul Martial Arts, would quietly abdicate in an ordinary night.

Such an iconic figure had an extremely glorious life. However, when he passed away, he did not give anyone a chance to say goodbye, nor did he give the world a chance to thank him.

That night, the entrance and exit checkpoints of Songjiang Soul City welcomed two soul warriors respected by the world, and also sent away two elderly people.

Songjiang Hunwu University - In the martial arts hall, in the lounge of the original teacher Sihuanian.

"Buzz."

The phone on the bedside table buzzed, and the screen reflected a little light.

On the bed, a white arm reached out, fumbled randomly on the cabinet, put the phone in front of his face, and saw an unfamiliar number.

"Who?" A unique voice lingered in the silent room.

Chen Hongshang patted the person next to her with one hand, as if to comfort or coax him to sleep. She answered the phone and whispered: "Hello?"

"Hello, is Mr. Xiao Ziru here?"

Chen Hongshang: "Yes, who are you?"

"This is the Songhun City checkpoint, and I am the officer on duty for the Songhun City Police. Just now, Principal Mei Hongyu and Professor Wang Tianzhu left Songhun City." On the other end of the phone, the police officer's voice was clear and could be heard, "Mei The principal asked me to give Teacher Xiao a message."

Chen Hongshang sat up and turned on the speakerphone: "What?"

"Principal Mei said to ask Professor Xiao to manage Songjiang Hunwu University for him."

Xiao Ziru frowned slightly: "Where is Principal Mei?"

"Principal Mei and Professor Zhu have left, I don't know where they went."

Hearing this response, Chen Hongshang and Xiao Ziru looked at each other, without saying anything for a long time.

After a long while, Chen Hongshang finally said: "I understand, thank you."

"Okay, bye."

"Dudu.du."

Listening to the busy signal on the phone, Xiao Ziru supported his body with one hand and slowly sat up.

Chen Hongshang looked worried: "Shall we look for it?"

Although he said this, Chen Hongshang also knew the result of his search.

Since Yan Hong and the others settled in the martial arts hall, Mei Hongyu has held several meetings in the past few days.

At Mei Hongyu's level and occupying such an important position, it is natural that he would not just retreat if he wanted to.

Mei Hongyu communicated with everyone, arranged various matters in an orderly manner, and recommended Xiao Ziru to the position.

To say it is "recommended" is just a word used in the civilized world.

In fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that this was Mei Hongyu’s “hand-picked appointment”.

Of course, Xiao Ziru's resume was nothing to talk about. After careful review, everything fell into place.

However, what Xiao Ziru and Chen Hongshang never thought was that this day would come so quickly.

"Stop looking for it." Xiao Zi subconsciously touched his pocket, and then he remembered that he was sitting on the bed and wearing pajamas.

On the side, Chen Hongshang had already handed over the cigarette.

Xiao Ziru silently took the cigarette and said a rare speech: "Principal Mei has arranged everything. Since he chooses to leave at this time, he doesn't want to make a big fuss or be disturbed."

Chen Hongshang hesitated for a moment, then just handed over a lighter and said nothing more.

After all, Mei Hongyu did not leave alone, there was also Professor Wang Tianzhu. The doubts and worries are understandable, but Chen Hongshang is indeed not qualified to interfere in the affairs of the older generation.

Moreover, Chen Hongshang cared more about Xiao Ziru's feelings than herself.

Although there is a huge age difference between Xiao Ziru and Mei Hongyu, they are real old comrades-in-arms and old friends.

They have gone through the most difficult period in the snow together, and have faced ups and downs together over the years.

Xiao Ziru would be a little sad when his old friend left quietly like this.

Chen Hongshang looked at the man who silently lit the cigarette and comforted softly: "The old principal knows that our wedding is scheduled for October 8th. He will definitely come to attend. We will see him soon."

"Yes." After hearing this, Xiao Ziru, who was in a dull mood, felt relieved a lot. He put his arm around the woman he loved beside him and showed a slight smile on his face.

If you want to understand a truth, you will no longer be sad.

Mr. Mei has been busy all his life, devoting his whole life to the Chinese Snow Land. When he is old, he can finally retire and rest. Why should we be sad?

You should feel happy and happy for him.

Since he chose to leave quietly late at night, all we can do is not to disturb him.

Rong Taotao received the news about Principal Mei Hongyu's resignation the next day.

At that time, he was standing on the scorched earth of Lei Teng's whirlpool, holding a royal lotus umbrella in one hand and looking at Gao Lingwei not far away.

Gao Lingwei, who was surrounded by thunder, returned to the surface after adapting to the environment of the sea of ​​clouds, trying to act with more information hitting her mind.

At that time, a huge Leiteng elk was standing in front of her.

Gao Lingwei, who rarely met a friendly spirit beast here, was trying hard to raise her hand to touch the colorful elk antlers when she heard Rong Taotao's call behind her.

"Dawei."

"Um?"

"Yesterday, late at night in Songhun, Principal Mei left the school and entrusted Songjiang Hunwu to Teacher Xiao."

Gao Lingwei was startled: "The old principal chose to retire."

Rong Taotao nodded: "It is said that he left very suddenly, without notifying anyone in advance, and no one knows where he went."

Gao Lingwei pursed her lips, feeling a little guilty and regretful, her eyes dimmed a little: "We couldn't send him off."

Even if she couldn't do anything, at least she should send it to the old principal.

Without Mei Hongyu, there would be no Rong Taotao in the junior class, let alone her now.

Since the two of them entered school, the old principal has been protecting them from wind and rain, from school to the depths of the snow whirlpool.

Teacher's kindness is like an ocean, which cannot be explained in a few words.

"Moo~"

As if sensing that the girl was in a low mood, the elk shook its huge antlers and gently rubbed the girl's elemental palm.

"Yeah" Rong Taotao was silent for a moment and sighed silently in his heart.

really,

Those who make a big deal about leaving are mostly just trying out.

And those who really want to leave you will even close the door softly.
