Dao Fruit

It is not a simple matter for the prince to leave the palace. The danger of the white dragon fish suit has been mentioned in the previous article. Even in the middle of the capital, one should not take it lightly, let alone the suburbs of the capital?

However, the prince was still able to arrive, which showed that there was the emperor's acquiescence behind it. In addition, he was accompanied by guards, many of whom were experts, not to mention that there were several people guarding the offerings.

However, on the surface, there are not many signs.

When the prince came here, he did not enter the hospital immediately. Instead, he took familiar steps, walked back and forth in an open space outside the hospital, jumped, and finally jumped suddenly. He actually felt as if he was as light as a swallow, which showed that he had practiced kung fu. , but not home.

He jumped, carrying dust, and landed not far away. He took a long breath and sweat poured down from his body.

Beside, two white-faced and beardless attendants hurried forward to wipe Li Yan's sweat, but they were not surprised by his previous strange behavior.

"Okay, you can retreat first." Li Yan took the cloth from the hands of the two men, put it around his neck, and asked his followers to retreat.

The entourage immediately obeyed, but they still remembered that just half a year ago, Li Yinglian, a popular man who had been following the prince, angered the prince because of a trivial matter. He was demoted one after another not long after, and now he has gone to a corner of the palace. No news, a great future ruined.

From then on, the prince gained some dignity. Coupled with the fact that the emperor was seriously ill, there were inevitably many rumors in the capital, which suddenly pushed the prince's status up a lot. Not to mention these entourage, even some ministers, this attitude All are gradually changing.

But having said that, in this case, the prince could still come to the outskirts of the capital as he wished, which has political implications. It has been tasted by many ministers and aristocratic families for a long time, and they are increasingly wary of the future owner of this courtyard.

The reason why it is said to be the future owner is because the courtyard has not yet been truly used - when the prince walked to the entrance of the courtyard. You can already hear the banging sounds coming from the yard. It is the sound of using a sledgehammer to hit the stones. It is obvious that the yard is still under construction and has not been actually completed.

Suddenly, a person walked out of the door, which immediately gave people a strange feeling. After thinking carefully, you can understand that this person walked quietly, making no sound at all, but stepping on the ground step by step. Every step gives people a feeling of being rooted on the ground, as if a mountain collapses in front of them, without wavering at all.

As soon as Prince Li Yan saw this person, he straightened his figure, held his hands in front of him in salute, and said, "Master Qiu has come out. What do you think of the few steps before me?"

"I don't deserve this title," the man was dressed like an ordinary servant. But the face and expression are unusual. It is Qiu An, the current chief steward of the Qiu Mansion. "However, the prince's previous footwork is already quite rudimentary. If he works hard for a month, he should be able to master this set of nine palace steps."

Hearing this, Li Yan beamed with joy, and then said: "Does that mean that I have become a success? Is Mr. Qiu willing to see me?"

Qiu An shook his head and raised his hand. An invisible wave of air roared out and blew across the open space where the prince was walking and jumping just now. A layer of dust was lifted up, revealing traces underneath.

It turned out to be a series of ink strokes, forming two large characters that were as tall as one person——

Nine palaces!

However, this seemingly ordinary handwriting, every stroke and every stroke seems to contain the power to confuse people's hearts. When I first looked at it, I just felt that the strokes were full of flesh and blood, as if two people were lying on the ground. But if you look carefully, you feel that your eyes are being pulled in, and your mind is integrated into it, and you can find some mysterious artistic conception in it.

"Ouch! Ouch!"

Then, a series of screams of pain were heard. It was actually the few companions who came with Li Yan. After glancing at the two words, they each screamed miserably, then their legs became weak and they fell to the ground.

The two guards who had always been standing not far away also stepped back after seeing these two big characters. Then a blush appeared on their faces, and their muscles and bones trembled, as if they were under great pressure.

There were even a few muffled groans coming from the distant forest.

Qiu An's eyes moved slightly, and he scanned the trees. He knew that the person who made the sound was actually an expert sent secretly to protect the prince. He did not tell the truth, but then he withdrew his gaze and focused his gaze on Li Yan.

At this moment, Li Yan was also captured by the inexplicable artistic conception of these two words, but he did not show much abnormality. Instead, bursts of air flow appeared on the surface of his body. It was colorless at first, but after closer inspection, there was a bright yellow color. The feeling is the manifested dragon energy——

This is clearly the appearance of dragon energy, protecting its form and spirit, so that Li Yan cannot be affected by the two words.

With this foundation, Li Yan can look at the two words with a little calmness and appreciate the beauty of it.

Gradually, the two words changed rapidly in his field of vision, and the ink marks one by one seemed to come alive, flowing separately, and projecting the depth of his thoughts in the dark, forming Qian, Kan, Gen, and The nine characters Zhen, Zhong, Xun, Li, Kun and Dui, each leading one place, are arranged and combined to form wonderful traces, with shadows falling from time to time, just like a person walking and his footsteps constantly falling on the ground.

"This Nine Palaces Step is really mysterious. In the Yili, the essence of humanity is hidden, and at the same time it runs through the mystery of martial arts. It is really a wonderful skill, but it is just written down by Mr. Qiu. From this point of view, Mr. Qiu can really be called A scholar!"

This was not the first time he had seen these two words. Half a year ago, all the people Li Yan sent to discuss Taoism with Qiu Yan's two disciples failed. Naturally, he would not accept this. Even if he knew that he was being used by Li Yinglian, he would punish that villain. But the incident had already happened. If he retreated, he always felt that he would be seen clearly by the world.

So, Li Kun put aside his face and asked for help from a contemporary great scholar. He said that it was powerful and showed various signs and evidence that the Way of Knowledge and Action was constantly expanding and engulfing the territory of other schools.

The great scholar himself was not in charge of the academy, so he did not participate in Donghua's fight for luck. He was free, but he also had a Taoist doctrine that he wanted to pass on, so he was tempted. At the same time, he had heard of the name of the Way of Knowledge and Action and wanted to learn from it, so he agreed to talk to Qiu Yan.

This time, Qiu Yan did not exclude his own disciples - this was to show respect, and he personally came forward. The two sides discussed back and forth. In the end, Qiu Yan took the opportunity to sort out his thoughts, perfected the "matter" a lot, and burst out with amazing power, radiating around, making the people present immersed in it and experience the past of many generals, battles, battles, and wars.

In the end, Qiu Yan condensed a little "war" essence from it and returned to his heart, and the many illusions also dissipated, but the great scholar who debated took the initiative to admit defeat, and then the two discussed again.

In comparison, Prince Li Yan, who experienced this for the first time, also watched the battle that day, bathed in the glory of the classics, and his thoughts changed. Then he studied Qiuxue books and gradually understood. His attitude towards Qiu Yan naturally changed rapidly, and finally showed a sincere attitude of learning.

However, facing the changes in Prince Li Yan, Qiu Yan did not agree when he came to apologize and ask for advice.

At this point, Li Yan was not discouraged, and actually showed some resilience. He saw that Qiu Yan did not give him any mercy. At the same time, after this period of time, he constantly networked with various parties to challenge Qiu Yan, which invisibly increased his knowledge and also knew that Qiu Yan's current status was not based on his official position, so he naturally would not want to use force.

So, the future emperor actually chose the same approach as the monkey - to show sincerity!

However, the monkey's mind was not very complicated, like a baby in Chicheng, and in the end he only thought of kneeling outside the mountain gate for a long time. But Li Yan had a lot of experience after all, and his status was there. If he really knelt down to Qiu Yan, it would immediately cause a storm and involve a lot of things, which would make Qiu Yan's political enemies rejoice and show their prowess again.

Therefore, Li Yan chose a roundabout route, which was a kind of catering to his preferences. He knew that Qiu Yan planned to build an academy to spread Qiu's learning, so he took the initiative to take over this task.

Qiu Yan was an official in the court and had little time to spare. In addition to various other reasons, although the address of the academy was barely decided, the progress of the project has been quite slow. The reason is that the structure of the academy is quite complicated, and all kinds of arrangements have their own particularities and profound meanings. It is difficult for ordinary craftsmen to understand the secrets of the design drawings. Someone must be there to enlighten them.

In addition to Qiu Yan, there are only two of his disciples. As for other people with similar levels, Qiu Yan would not do so even if he could call them. You let a person with good literary attainments go back and forth on the construction site all day long. In the eyes of most people, it seems to be a waste of talent.

Even if Qiu Yan's way of knowing and doing actually advocates this kind of practice and seeing the truth from the details, the capital is now at a critical point of the struggle between various parties, and it is really not convenient to make trouble.

At this time, the prince suddenly came forward and took over the task, and even revealed that he wanted to worship Qiu Yan as his teacher. Then he took the drawings, found the Ministry of Works, and directly called on the power of the dynasty.

A dynasty is so vast and full of talents. Even if Qiu Yan's drawings are very profound, as long as he goes there for a quarter of an hour every day to ask for advice, it is enough to maintain a day's progress.

The prince's appearance is different from that of a minister. If Qiu Yan uses the power of the Ministry of Works, there will naturally be endless impeachment memorials. But since the prince Li Yan said that he wanted to worship Qiu Yan as his teacher, and not long ago, the emperor Li Yan also gave Qiu Yan the title of the prince's junior teacher, such a thing will be a natural thing.

Moreover, the emperor is seriously ill and the situation is about to change. Who would go back to offend the prince at this time?

But even if the Ministry of Works took action, the progress was still slow. Fortunately, the general outline was quickly determined, but more work was needed in the details. Therefore, the courtyard of this academy has already taken shape, which is exactly the one in front of Li Yan. (To be continued)
