Chapter 1692
Gu Changqing and other teachers and students of the academy, along with Tang Xinghe and others, entered the library of Yi Guang Academy.
Various books from the Wan Kingdom are displayed in the pavilion, which is one of the reasons why Yiguang Academy can be preserved.
Yi Guang Academy is called Yi Guang Academy in the eyes of Wan people.
There is another secret under the pavilion. Gu Changqing moved the bookcase away, opened the mechanism, and revealed a stone staircase leading to the underground.
After entering, there are rows of bookshelves, all of which are filled with Northern Wing classics.
Gu Changqing stroked the book lightly, his fingertips trembling slightly, "In the past hundred years, we have secretly collected and preserved about 320 volumes of Beiyi classics and more than 100 Beiyi cultural relics."
Tang Xinghe's fingertips touched the yellowed pages and he was shocked.
He has never liked reading.
But at this moment, he was strangely attracted to the classics. He longed in his heart, as if he were also a Guicheng person, risking his life to learn a few Beiyi characters.
When he was in the capital, he skipped classes to go out and play, and lied to his teacher to avoid his random checks.
At this moment, Tang Xinghe burst into tears.
He had an impulse that he must kowtow and admit his mistakes to the teacher who taught him when he returned to the capital.
It was at this moment that he suddenly seemed to awaken a certain bloodline, and deeply understood that culture is the soul of a nation.
As long as the words, history and memories are still there, Guicheng will always be the Guicheng of the North Wing.
Tang Xinghe picked up a map book. It was a complete map of the northern wing, with mountains, rivers, cities and passes marked on it. It was more than ten times more detailed than the map he had seen in the capital.
Gu Changqing kept coughing, but his eyes were bright. "This is the manuscript left by General Wang."
General Wang’s full name is Wang Yulun, and he was the defender of Guicheng before its fall.
He led his soldiers to defend the city and fought to the last man.
Gu Changqing coughed even harder, because he couldn't stop crying when he mentioned General Wang. "Now in the office of the governor of Guicheng, Wan State, there is still a hanging..."
He couldn't speak anymore.
Tang Xinghe and others felt very depressed.
Then a younger man stepped forward and said, "General Wang's wife and children were all captured by the Wan people in order to force General Wang to surrender. General Wang watched helplessly as his wife and children were tortured to death outside the city..."
The teeth of his wife and children were pulled out one by one, polished and strung together to make a necklace passed down by the prefect of Guicheng.
Ma Chuyang burst into tears after hearing this and couldn't control himself.
There was a dead silence all around. Then the sobbing of teachers and students gradually became louder, and finally there were cries of grief everywhere.
Many people present had not experienced that war, their fathers and grandfathers had long since died, but each of them knew the human tooth necklace worn by the governor of Guicheng.
Because the human tooth necklace of the Guicheng prefect has never been a secret.
The Wan people regarded it as a trophy and a symbol of power. Every governor of Guicheng would wear it when he took office, standing on the city wall and announcing to everyone: This is the fate of rebels!
The people of Guicheng were forced to remember it.
They have heard their elders whisper since they were young: "That cracked front tooth belongs to General Wang's wife..."
"The smallest baby tooth belongs to his six-year-old son..."
"In the dungeon of the prefectural government, there are still iron pliers used for pulling out teeth..."
That is the arrogance and bloodthirstiness of the Wan people!
Tang Xinghe clenched his fists, veins popping out. His nails dug deep into his palms, blood dripping from his fingers, but he was completely unaware.
Someone suddenly shouted, "There's more than that! There's also the map hanging on the wall of the Guicheng government office! Yes, yes, yes..."
It's human skin! It's made from the skin of General Wang Yulun's wife and children!
