Dao Fruit

The door opened, and the indoor scene appeared in front of Qiu Yan——

The decoration is simple, with an old man kneeling in the center, with a high crown and a broad belt, eyes closed, exuding a simple atmosphere, which seems to calm people's hearts.

What Qiu Yan saw and heard along the way was bizarre and strange. Although he stayed true to his heart, he was inevitably full of doubts. Even though he was not uneasy, he was no longer calm, but when he felt that the old man After taking the breath from his body, Qiu Yan's mood calmed down instantly, and his thoughts became much clearer.

At the same time, he also caught a sense of natural order from the other person. It looked like he was sitting on his knees, but it gave people the feeling that he was expounding the meaning of the scriptures, as if there was profound truth in his movements, words and deeds.

As soon as he thought of this, Qiu Yan knew that the person in the room was extraordinary. He put away the anger caused by Zhao You, stepped forward, saluted, and said: "Jiannan Qiu Yan, I have met my senior, don't know how to call him?"

"Oh?" The old man's brows moved slightly. Although his eyes were not opened, there was surprise on his face, as if he had discovered something unusual.

However, before the old man could say anything, Zhao You stepped forward first, glared at Qiu Yan, and said righteously: "You are such a newcomer, you are so unruly! Speaking without authorization seems arrogant; when facing a wise man, you don't call him sir. This is against etiquette; if you open your mouth before I introduce you, this is transgression."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he scolded Qiu Yan. Seizing Qiu Yan's unintentional mistake, he blamed him three times in a row. He started to speak incessantly. In line with the surrounding literary thoughts, he rushed towards Qiu Yan overwhelmingly!

"Huh? This Zhao You also has a literary mind, and judging from his momentum, he has some attainments in vertical and horizontal arguments!"

Qiu Yan's eyes changed, and he felt a strong sense of malice from Zhao You. The intention to suppress him and dominate him was particularly obvious.

"His words were meant to suppress me with force, but his original intention was to let the old man hear them. People say they have preconceptions. When I first met the old man, the impression of the first conversation was very important. This old man appeared here. , It must be closely related to Shilin, and may even involve secrets. If it leaves a bad impression in his mind, there is no guarantee that something unexpected will happen."

Recalling what the resurrected spirit said before and after, Qiu Yan narrowed his eyes, his gaze becoming colder and colder.

really. After hearing these words, the old man's brows moved slightly, with a tendency to frown.

When Qiu Yan saw it, he didn't panic. Instead, he looked directly at Zhao You and said sternly: "This is wrong. I came to visit and didn't let the senior speak first. This is out of respect; I don't call him sir. It's because I don't know the identity of the senior. , I dare not call you rashly, it is prudent; as for the idea of ​​overstepping, it is even more ridiculous. You have suppressed Qiu all the way, and you have no good intentions. How can Qiu just accept it? That is cowardice of you. I don't respect it, and I don't want to retaliate for trivial matters, but I can't let you do whatever you want. Besides, it seems inappropriate for you to act on your behalf without waiting for this senior to say anything."

As soon as Qiu Yan finished speaking, the turbulent thoughts gathered around him immediately shattered.

"You!" When Zhao You heard Qiu Yan's words, his face turned red immediately, and his eyes showed a chill. He did not expect that in the face of threats, Qiu Yan would attack directly, without any detours, and he was really beaten. He was caught off guard.

After waiting for a breath or two, Zhao You took a deep breath, and then lowered his voice and said: "You are just showing off your nonsense for a moment and have no self-restraint. However, the future is long, and I will let you know your dignity and inferiority in the future."

His words seemed restrained, but they contained a threatening meaning. He was warning Qiu Yan that he would retaliate against Qiu Yan in the future.

Unexpectedly, Qiu Yan seemed not to understand at all, and replied solemnly: "Inferiority and superiority are not destiny. If a person behaves righteously and is in line with the general trend, he can be a small person and a family, and a big person can bring peace to the world. There is no need to emphasize his identity. , others will also respect him. On the contrary, if he acts only for himself and does not care about others, no matter how high his status is, it is only superficial. In people's hearts, it is despicable and despised. "

"Okay, okay! So eloquent!" Zhao You's soul scattered slightly, showing that he was very angry. He exuded angry mood swings, which aroused the thoughts around him. There was a sense of eagerness, as if he might pounce at any time. , tearing Qiu Yan to pieces.

"There is no need to quarrel. Don't hurt the harmony over some trivial matters."

At this time, the old man in the room suddenly spoke. He looked at Qiu Yan and asked, "Is your name Qiu Yan? You have some knowledge and you are a man of talent. Well, Zhao You, please calm down your thoughts first and wait quietly."

As the old man spoke, Zhao You's expression changed and he bowed his head, not daring to say more, but his eyes were full of anger, giving Qiu Yan a feeling of bearing the burden of humiliation.

Around him, the faintly fluctuating thoughts calmed down again.

But Qiu Yan did not take it lightly.

"This is the person who must be punished!" Qiu Yan's eyes flashed coldly.

Then, his attention was attracted by the old man's words: "I didn't expect that after so many years, someone would finally come to pass the third level. You said you were from Jiannan, but I have never heard of this place. I don't know. In which continent is it located?”

Qiu Yan chewed on the meaning, grasped some clues, and then replied: "This junior is from Donghua Continent."

Donghua Buzhou, this name refers to the land where Dali is located. Qiu Yan learned about it from the mouth of Chen Yan, the demon slayer.

"Donghua continent? That's it." The old man nodded, with no strange color on his face. "I've heard of this continent. It's a place where humanity thrives. No wonder it can breed people like Wenpi. You are not contaminated. The idea of ​​becoming a scholar must have come across the sea of ​​​​learning. In this case, I will not waste your time. You have to think clearly about the risks involved. If you can withstand the narrow escape, then come back. Otherwise, just live here and go... "

"Xuehai? Ends of the world? Three levels?"

Listening to these familiar yet abrupt words, Qiu Yan narrowed his eyes and glanced at the old man's face. He didn't ask any more questions and just nodded, as if he already knew it.

Although this old man has his eyes closed, his expression is peaceful, giving people the feeling of a kind and honest elder.

After looking away, Qiu Yan glanced at Zhao You again, feeling wary in his heart.

After hearing what the old man said, Zhao You's expression changed drastically. He looked at Qiu Yan with an incredible expression. The anger in his eyes dissipated and was replaced by deep jealousy!

Burning with jealousy!

His soul was even shaken by the impact of the extremely strong jealousy.

However, he suppressed his emotions in the end, paid his respects to the old man, and left the bamboo forest with Qiu Yan.

"This Qiu Yan was not assimilated by Shilin, but came across the sea? And he was a civil servant? How amazing!"

"Doesn't that mean that this person came here to go to the legendary Wenzong Holy Land?"

"No one in our group has ever seen such a person."

…

It didn't take long for Qiu Yan's story to spread throughout the hills. Many people looked at him with obvious changes. Some even wanted to come over to ask, but they didn't dare to show it due to Zhao You's displeasure. .

However, an undercurrent gradually formed among everyone.

Regarding these situations, Qiu Yan did not show much concern and felt calm.

Although the surroundings of this hill were pitch black, it gave Qiu Yan a very unusual feeling. When he sensed the mountains and rocks, what he felt was not an illusory idea, but something real.

In addition to the bamboo forest, there is a pavilion in the center of the hill. There are many high-rise buildings with several floors. They look simple and elegant. They are the residence of the group of Confucian scholars. After Qiu Yan came back from the bamboo forest, he was led to one of them. A loft for rest.

The room is spacious, with carved beams and paintings, and calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, all of which contain charm. There is a teacup on the mahogany coffee table, with a crack in the lid of the cup, and warm breath wafting out of it.

Looking at that ray of heat, Qiu Yan fell into deep thought.

"Now it seems that Zhao You should be the talker here. In this case, his hostility towards me can be explained."

Flicking his fingers, Qiu Yan organized his thoughts.

"Assuming what Zhao You said is true, this is the place where people who have been assimilated by Shilin return. They are cut off from the outside world and their original social status is meaningless. But where there are people, there are disputes, so there is arbitration, and there are people. When it comes to power, there is a distinction between superiority and inferiority. Zhao You is the one in power here, but his power is given by others. "

Thinking of this, he turned his head and looked out the window. At the end of his eyes was the bamboo forest.

"The one who gave him the power was the old man. Zhao You couldn't wait to suppress me. He wanted to cut off the possibility of seizing power from him when I was not yet stable, and leave a bad impression on the old man, so that I could no longer threaten him. "

Thinking about it, Qiu Yan couldn't help but laugh: "If the old man has extraordinary status and profound knowledge, he is indeed worthy of respect, but there is no need to bend his will to please him just for the so-called power. Zhao You obviously has a literary heart, but he has changed his mind. It's really It's a pity, but..."

He suddenly narrowed his eyes and felt a chill in his heart.

"Although the old man gave me a feeling of tranquility, peace, and even affability, how many people who have experienced a lot are easy to deal with?"

The old man he had met before flashed through his mind——

The people in the painting, Tang Lai, Ma Yang, Han Yi, the elder in Mo Yi, Shu Lao...

"These old people may have the intention to support the underachievers, but none of them are simple people. It is difficult for others to grasp their minds. And Zhao Youhu's fake power makes others dare to be angry but dare not speak out. Could it be that the old man is doing something like this? Don't you know? If you know but still let it go, then..."

After thinking about this, Qiu Yan shook his head.

"We must pay attention to this, but the first priority is to understand the situation here, and then leave here to see if we can find traces of the resurrected god. Secondly, the battle on Shushan has gained a lot, so we need to find a secluded place to digest it. The souls in the river must be released as soon as possible. I don’t know what it means to escape through three levels. How can they escape from death? "

But before he could think clearly, there was an urging sound from outside——

"Brother Qiu, sir, please come over..." (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
