Chapter 36: The mountains are full of scholars

After killing the monks, it was equivalent to solving most of the problems for Zhou Guo. This made Li Fuyao feel a little good, but Li Fuyao was actually only thinking that he wanted to make the nobles in Yanling Luoyang City feel uncomfortable. The current mentality has actually changed, and there is a sense of pride. Although most of the dozen or so monks were actually killed by Qinghuai, he only shot once, killing a strange scholar.
Leaving the Luosang River, Li Fuyao knew that the story of the Luosang River would soon spread to Shaoliang City, Luoyang City, and Chen Guojing City. The nobles in Shaoliang City might praise the Northern Army of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Perseverance and courage, and the nobles of Luoyang City will only be angry and uncomfortable, and even feel ashamed. As for Chen Guojing, apart from fear, there should be no other emotions. The story is likely to be written as tens of thousands of military lives in the north of the Zhou Dynasty blocked the advance of Chen Guo's army, bought time for Shaoliang City, and by the way made up for the responsibility of losing the city in Beiyan County that day, but the two young girls The story with the dozen or so monks will probably not be preached by too many people, so when Li Fuyao and Qinghuai walked out of the surrounding area and came to Yanling, the people here didn’t even know about this extension. The real reason why the monks sent by Ling and the army of Chen Guo stopped at the Luosang River.
But one thing is certain. The nobles of Luoyang City knew what happened here, and the Yanling Academy in Yanling also knew it.
The first academic palace under the Confucian school is located on the territory of Yanling. Although people are sent to Luoyang City every year to select students for Yanling, in fact, this academic palace is not close to Luoyang City. Luoyang City is still thousands of miles away.
This academic palace is located on Jingkou Mountain.
As an ordinary mountain in Yanling, Jingkou Mountain did not seem very special at first. After the site of Yanling Academy was chosen here, this mountain became unattainable. Outsiders look at this mountain, I can only see below the mountainside, and above the mountainside, the clouds and mist are all day long, no one can see it.
Even those monks with advanced realm, the more you look at them, the more you admire them.
At the beginning of the Jingkou Mountain, there is a mountain trail that is inaccessible all day long. Except for those who go down the mountain, there are only scholars who climb the mountain to study. Although there are many scholars who climb the mountain, there are not many who reach the top of the mountain. This mountain road is paved with bluestone slabs, and each stone step has a sentence in the Confucian classics. The first road starts with the word "You can’t be a gentleman." As for the last sentence before the palace on the top of the mountain, this Most people in the mountains don't know.
It is early in the morning, but some people are starting to climb the mountain.
The visitor is a scholar who wears a gray cloth shirt with a bookcase on his back and an umbrella at his waist. He has a young face, but he doesn't look like a student in the academy on the mountain.
Stepping on the mountain trail, the young scholar did not look down at the sentence under her feet, but just went up step by step. Only when there was leisure time would he look at the surrounding scenery. There are naturally a lot of trees on both sides of the mountain trail, and there are even many old trees. Towering trees over a hundred years old, with luxuriant branches.
After a few steps, he came to a large bluestone, and the scholar stopped. No reason, just because the bluestone was engraved with the word stop.
Standing in front of the big bluestone for a while, the scholar bowed a little awkwardly before moving on.
After crossing the bluestone, the mountain road seemed difficult. It was not about how steep it was. On the contrary, it was still flat. I just don't know why, the young scholar seemed to have difficulty walking, as if there was something heavy on his body.
Going a few steps further, the pain in the heart is already felt when you step forward. When the whole foot is placed on the bluestone, it feels like a needle stick. The young scholar smiled bitterly and walked a few steps forward, and soon heard the top of the mountain. There was a sound from everywhere.
"Study palace clean repair place, idlers leave quickly!"
The sound was like a Hongzhong, shaking the young scholar's figure.
The young scholar bowed his head and said calmly: "Students ask for Mr. Xue Gong Yan Yu Yan."
There was another sound from the top of the mountain, "What do you want?"
The young scholar still said calmly: "Students want to enter the palace to study."
There was no sound from the top of the mountain, and it seemed to be verifying something. After half a quarter of an hour, he asked again, "Are you Huang Jin?"
Huang Jin whispered: "It's a student."
"If it is the person brought back by Mr. Master from the Academy, naturally you don’t have to suffer from this mountaineering, but if an outsider wants to enter my Academy, he has to step up to the top of the mountain step by step. Say you have no relationship with the academy, you don’t have to say anything. If you come to the gate of the academy, if you are attracted by the master, you can naturally enter my academy to study." There is no sound.
Huang Jin nodded and started climbing again, only this time he took a step and felt the pain under his feet ten times more than before. Soon Huang Jin became sweaty.
One foot stretched out and stepped on a stone step, but the other foot couldn't get up anyway. Huang Jin's legs were trembling, but he couldn't take a step forward.
The scholar who dared to grab a hatchet and grabbed his relatives frowned. He quickly pressed the oiled paper umbrella on his waist with one hand, squeezed out a smiling face, gritted his teeth and stepped on the other foot.
Standing on the same stone step with both feet, he felt the pain disappear instantly. Huang Jin, who was sweating profusely, breathed a sigh of relief, and stepped on another stone step with one foot, but this time it was not as simple as before. , A severe pain came, Huang Jin's eyes went black, and he was about to fall back. Fortunately, a middle-aged man with a calm face appeared behind him and held Huang Jin in a hand.
Huang Jin slowly came to his senses, retracted his foot, turned his head and saluted the middle-aged man: "Mr. Yan."
It was Yan Yu who came here.
Yan Yu looked at the young scholar who had been invited before, waved his hand and asked, "I asked you to come to the academy before, and you insisted on visiting the mountains and rivers. Why have you changed your mind now?"
Huang Jin smiled, "The mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the scenery is also beautiful, but they are not as good as the mountain in front of the hometown. Now I heard that the mountain is about to be renamed. The students are very worried. They think carefully and find that asking for help is better than asking yourself. , So I remembered that Mr. Yan had invited him before. Although it seems a bit of a market now, but he can’t control so much, so he rashly climbed the mountain, thinking about the opportunity to enter the palace, and then doing his best for the mountain."
The news of Chen Guo’s dispatch of troops to the State of Zhou Yanling Academy knows that the dozens of monks sent by the Yanling Dynasty to the State of Zhou are also known to the Academy, but this kind of trivial matter is not important to the Academy, and the Academy is not necessary. To know the cause and effect, now Huang Jin came to study for this reason, and he didn’t care at all. He just kindly reminded:
On the road of cultivation, some people walk extremely fast, just like that Liangxi’s Taoism is average, and it’s only a short distance from the Taiqing realm in fifteen years. Some people walk extremely slowly, and spend decades in the first three realms. No one knows whether you walk fast or slow. , But there is one thing you need to know. It only takes a short time for Yanling to destroy Zhou's kingdom. By then, you will not even be eligible to leave the school. Even if you do, you need to understand that the school will always stand in Yanling. Behind you, you alone are of no avail."
Thinking of the boy before, Huang Jin suddenly smiled, "Maybe not alone."
When Huang Jin said so, Yan Yu also remembered the boy before, and also remembered the news from Luosanghe a few days ago. He shook his head, but looked at Huang for a few more times. Kind, if you really want to ask to learn, go mountaineering."
Huang Jin nodded and asked before Yanyu turned around: "Mr. Yan, how many people have climbed this Jingkou Mountain in these years?"
Yan Yu said with a smile: "Many, the most recent one is me."
Huang Jin laughed dumbly.
Yan Yu disappeared.
Huang Jin smiled and continued to endure painful climbing.

On the top of Jingkou Mountain, in front of the sacrificial hall of the Xuegong, Gu Yuan, the seed of reading, and Yan Yu, who had returned to the top of the mountain, stood side by side. Yan Yu turned his head and glanced at Gu Yuan, who was looking at the trance under the mountain. The middle level of cultivation is not high. By chance, he brought back the seed of reading Gu Yuan at the foot of the mountain, and his status in the academy has risen. But even so, some things are beyond his control.
Gu Yuan, who has the same talent as that of Liangxi Dao, if it weren't for his young age and the short time to set foot on the road of cultivation, his cultivation level would definitely not be in the state of introspection.
Looking at the magic weapon mirror in front of the hall and Huang Jin, who is working the mountain path, Gu Yuan suddenly smiled and said, "Sir, do you think he can climb to the top of the mountain?"
Yan Yu calmly replied: "It looks like it is not bad. Mountaineering relies on the mind. This young man's mind was good before me, and now I think he has nine points of confidence when climbing."
Gu Yuan smiled thoughtfully: "That umbrella is the last point?"
If I smiled but didn't say anything, I was naturally quite satisfied with my student's understanding.
Gu Yuan muttered: "I don't know why. I always think of that guy recently, and I don't know if he really went to the sword mountain and became a swordsman."
Yanyu made a gesture, motioned to stop, and gently reminded: "Don't mention the word swordsman in the academy."
Gu Yuan nodded obediently, but he didn't know what he was actually thinking.
After Gu Yuan said with a grin, "I know that the umbrella is something that guy likes, but I didn't expect it to be so useful to him."
He said calmly, "How can you think through some things."
Gu Yuan stuck out his tongue and looked at Huang Jin, who had already walked through most of the mountain in the treasure mirror, and suddenly sat down, closing his eyes and soon some mist came out of his head.
Yu Yan was surprised and was about to act. I don't know when an old Confucian student appeared in front of the hall. With a hand of the old Confucian student, a picture scroll fell three feet above Gu Yuan's head.
Yan Yu asked with some horror: "Uncle Zhou, is this a meditation map?"
The old Confucian who just appeared was Zhou Xuance, who was in charge of guarding the library of the Xuegong. This old Confucian had a very high level of seniority, but no one in the academy could say clearly. There were rumors in the academy. It may be the uncles of the school’s head teacher of the previous generation. There was a lot of rumors at the time, and the head teacher never came forward to clarify, which made the identity of the old Confucian student even more confusing. Therefore, in today’s school, no matter who it is, see Zhou Xuance must respectfully call his uncle master. As for the realm of this cultivation level, it is unknown because no one has seen him make a move, but he is only qualified to be in charge of the library for more than a hundred years, no one dares to underestimate him.
After all, there are many saints' classics and many monks' magical instruments in the library. These things can be regarded as treasures, and most people really can't keep it.
After throwing out the meditation map, Zhou Xuance, who must have done nothing, did not answer the remaining question, but said to himself: "You student is a rare seed of reading in our school. You will make great achievements in the future. The disturbance was not small. Originally, this was something that I should bear, but the child Gu Yuan was too young, so this meditation picture was temporarily given to her, and she will return to the library after she reaches the crown."
Yan Yu was surprised and asked: "Such treasures leave the pavilion, the uncle will not report to the head teacher?"
Zhou Xuance waved his hand impatiently, "Who do I need to tell the old man about the broken painting?"
Yan Yu smiled bitterly and nodded. As expected, this uncle was as scary as the rumors, and even the meditation chart that can be ranked in the top 30 with the library is so casual.
Yan Yu bowed, "That Yan Yu took Gu Yuan to thank Master Uncle."
Zhou Xuance turned to look at Gu Yuan a few times, "This little girl, the old man still wants to watch her catch up with the girl in Liangxi over there. Naturally, good things can't be hidden."
After seeing Gu Yuan, Zhou Xuance glanced at Huang Jin who was climbing in the treasure mirror, frowned and asked, "This kid went to the mountains to study?"
Yan Yu nodded, "The student met him when he was traveling in Zhou Guo, and he saw that he had a good foundation and good character, so he intended to bring him to the palace, but the young man rejected the student at that time. Wanting to enter the palace is to step into the road of cultivation and one day to protect Zhou, but with such a mindset, the students really don’t know how far he can go on this road, so they only dare to let him go climbing."
Zhou Xuance's old face was slightly relieved, "In this way, if this kid really climbs up the mountain, you tell him that the old man's bookstore still needs someone to sort out the clutter. If you want to come here, you don't need to reveal the old man's identity, that's it."
Yan Yu paused, and quickly replied: "If you can get the uncle's blue eyes, he will probably not refuse."
The old scholar smiled, and soon disappeared.
Yan Yu stood alone beside his student to protect the law. During this period, many academy students and masters who passed by here stopped when they saw the picture scroll on Gu Yuan's head. Soon it was less than a day. The news that Gu Yuan received the meditation map has spread throughout the academy. Some students who think they are not as bad as Gu Yuan have complained to their teachers. The result is that they are all reprimanded. These young students do not know the importance of this matter. , But they are all old people who have been in the academy for dozens of years. How can they not know the status of the Master Zhou who is in charge of the library? Even the master teacher must call Master Master respectfully when seeing him. Others can afford it.
At sunset, Gu Yuan officially set foot in the Blue Silk Realm. When he opened his eyes, the voice of the head teacher spread throughout the academy to call Gu Yuan.
This is like throwing a huge boulder into the lake, causing thousands of waves.
At the gate of the Academy, Yan Yu has been waiting for the mountaineering scholar.
I didn't see him until the sun was about to set.
Huang Jin came to the gate of the academy in sweat, with a calm expression.
In fact, if the test on the mountain path were all vain, Huang Jinbian should be covered in blood.
Yan Yu sighed: "If you don't have that obsession, going up the mountain will be much easier."
Huang Jin laughed hard, "Can't let it go."
After saying these words, Huang Jin looked down at the last sentence on the bluestone steps in front of the Xuegong:
The gentleman is at the mercy, the villain is at the mercy
Huang Jin's five flavors were mixed, and finally turned into a smile.
Yan Yu shook his head and didn't want to say more. He just mentioned what Zhou Xuance had said before. Huang thought about it for a while and said seriously, "Okay."
