บท 177: Legacy

According to family stories passed from one generation to the next, the three brothers had been learning sorcery separately, taught to them by Tuo Xie since they were twelve years old. At the end of 10 years, they would reunite to receive Tuo Xie's evaluation on their training. The three brothers were clever and hardworking, each making great strides in their training. Tuo Xie was proud and elated over this but that happiness was cut short. On the night of his 'escape by thunder', he disappeared and was never heard from again. The descendants of the three brothers have since passed down the tradition of the tenth-year final examination, one generation to the next.
