Main text Chapter 402: No one is the best in literature

Counting Han Weier, there were four people who blocked Qiu Yan's path, two of whom were about forty years old, and the third one was a young man in his twenties.

The young man walked up to Qiu Yan, looked at him for a few times, and said with doubts on his face: "Are you Qiu Yan? Did you defeat Secretary He and lead Mr. Xiao Chen to come forward to accept a disciple?" Then he shook his head, "It's not what I thought. So much the same.”

Qiu Yan's brows furrowed. He ignored the young man and looked at Han Weier with doubts in his eyes.

Han Weier smiled and said: "Brother Qiu, don't get me wrong, these three are my friends and they are here to help you."

"Help me?" Qiu Yan was a little confused.

"That's right," Han Weier nodded, "Now the Ji family has opened up a new way of thinking. As long as you have a little literary talent and use sages to write down the words, you can have a happy life. This is the critical moment for you to win over me. Wouldn't it be a pity to miss it? ? My father and I are very optimistic about you, and grandpa also praises you very much, so I can't ignore it. "

Hearing this, Qiu Yan roughly understood Han Weier's thoughts and realized that the other party did want to help, but she didn't know that she had already entered Shilin.

Opposite me, Han Weier was talking, pointing to the three people around her: "I'm here to introduce you. This is Zheng Yi from Spring and Autumn Academy. These two are An Jin and Xi Muyuan from Jiuyuan Academy. The three of them are in their respective academies. You have some ability, Brother Qiu, as long as you show your knowledge, they can arrange for you to go to Shilin with the academy disciples."

"Spring and Autumn Academy, Jiuyuan Academy?"

Qiu Yan's eyes swept across the three of them, and he caught a bit of aura from them, which was slightly related to himself. After thinking about it for a while, he understood.

"These three people all have the aura of being a scholar. They should all have been to the academy, but they did not go there this time to discuss Taoism." In addition to Xingtan Forum, there are other ways to enter the forest. After thinking about this, Qiu Yan couldn't help but look at it carefully.

Zheng Yi is a man in his forties, not tall, slightly stout, with squinting eyes and raised corners of his mouth, giving him a simple and amiable feeling.

"This man is a member of the Spring and Autumn Sect. When I returned from Shilin, I passed by the Sage Hall of the Spring and Autumn Academy, and there was a lot of commotion. Could this man be unaware? Huh? This man also has the surname Zheng. I wonder if he has any connection with Mr. Zheng. "

Thinking like this, Qiu Yan looked at the other two people.

Both of these people were from Jiuyuan Academy. Qiu Yan had also heard of this academy. It was said that it did not have a long history. It was founded several decades ago. The founder was known as Jiuyuan Sage. At that time, this sage was in Shilin. His status in the literary world is roughly equivalent to that of Mr. Chen and Mr. Chen today.

On the day Qiu Yan returned from Shilin, he passed through the door and entered his heart. Finally, the road ahead was divided into seven, one of which led to Jiuyuan Academy.

An Jin is similar in age to Zheng Yi, but he looks very strong and strong, without the appearance of middle age. He has a Chinese character face, which gives people a serious look. He has been frowning since he arrived. Staring at Qiu Yan, thoughtful, he seemed to have encountered some difficult problem that he couldn't figure out.

As for Xi Muyuan, he was the young man who spoke first. He was wearing a Confucian shirt. Although he was young, he had an awe-inspiring power. With Qiu Yan's eyesight, he could see that this power did not come from knowledge or literary thought, but from a long-term He was raised by Yi to command and control others. From this, it can be seen that Xi Muyuan's status in Jiuyuan Academy is by no means ordinary.

Thinking about it, Han Weier kept saying that she would help Qiu Yan enter the academy. This was no small matter. It would be strange if the three people who came were just ordinary disciples in the academy.

but……

"Now that the path to Shilin has been opened, the academy disciples who should go to Shilin should have already entered. How can we let others in again?" Qiu Yan asked the question in his heart.

Hearing this, Han Weier smiled and said nothing, and glanced at Zheng Yi.

Zheng Yi understood and stepped forward: "Young Master Qiu doesn't know. The real attraction of Xingtan Taoism is that the descendants of the Ji family and other saints use their blood to support and broaden their minds, so that articles that are not usually able to open up their minds can also It can call out the mind path, but the width of the mind path is limited, and the number of people passing through is limited by this, so it must be divided into several groups and entered in order. "

Nodding secretly, Qiu Yan remembered that when he returned from Shilin, people came to that door in batches.

Before he could finish his thoughts, Xi Muyuan said: "However, don't imagine that you can get the sage paper and write alone. After all, you are not a disciple of the academy. The academy will not waste the sage paper on outsiders. At most, you can wait for your thoughts. When it opens, invite others into the vortex.”

At this point, he changed the topic: "Besides, looking at your literary thoughts may not open your mind. It may waste a precious piece of sage paper, which is not beautiful. It is safe to follow others."

Qiu Yan narrowed his eyes. He knew that there were many benefits to reading the words written on paper by sages. Not only could they refine their thoughts, but they could also use it as a medium to contact the order of heaven and earth. Therefore, it was extremely precious. Even those academies were unwilling to give it to outsiders. It's normal. Besides, he has no intention of entering Shilin again, but...

"This Xi Muyuan seems to be a little hostile to me..."

After thinking about it, Qiu Yan glanced at Han Weier and thought to himself: "It's not because of the love between a man and a woman. This Xi Muyuan's literary thoughts are rich and settled, and there is no hint of jealousy. When he speaks, his eyes are clear and there is no personal affection. His The hostility is not due to human feelings, but because of academics, perhaps related to the theory of heaven."

Thinking of what the other party said at the beginning, Qiu Yan had some clues. Not long ago, he debated with He Shuchang in Lizong's Tianli Building, and gained a little reputation. These days, it seems to have spread among the literati circle. Since ancient times, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. Few people will easily accept others. In the eyes of many Confucian scholars, Qiu Yan has not been enrolled in any academy, has no school or sect, but has a reputation. Of course, people feel unfair and naturally want to suppress and compare.

"In a few days, there should be some twists and turns in Wenxuan Building. Although this building is for reviewing articles, there will definitely be people who want to compete with each other. However, those who really wrote the articles are now wandering in the literati circle. When they take their articles to review, it is very likely that others will be the ones who review them."

Suddenly, Qiu Yan's mind flashed.

"Yes, the sage paper can record people's thoughts and literary teachings, and it is in line with order and connected to the soul of the writer. When Prime Minister Han and Mr. Chen evaluate the works, they only need to write comments on the paper. Following this connection, even if the soul is in the literati circle, they can still feel it and gain something from it."

Thinking of this, Qiu Yan realized that he really had to go there in person on the day of Wenxuan's evaluation, because no one could do it for him.

There were all literati in the building that day. If Hu Qi and Dai Guo were to deliver the work, it might cause a stir with their identities, and they would also leave a reputation of disrespecting the elders - Han Yi and others were all respected people. Qiu Yan sent a servant to have someone evaluate the work. As long as the news got out, his reputation would immediately fall.

With this thought, he lost interest in talking to others, so he said to Han Weier: "Qiu thanks Miss Han here, but please let this matter go. To be honest, Qiu has entered the Shilin before, so there is no need to ask anyone else."

"You have been to the Shilin?" Han Weier was stunned when she heard this, "How long has the heart road been opened? You must have lingered in the Shilin for a long time. How come you came out so soon? Isn't it a waste of time?"

"Old Prime Minister Han knows about this. Miss Han can ask." Qiu Yan said, and bowed to the other three people, "I also want to thank the three of you for your enthusiasm, but you made a wasted trip."

"You said you entered the Shilin, but the literary aura on your body is weak, and there is no Shilin aura. Are you talking nonsense?" Xi Muyuan immediately doubted it. He was also a person who entered the Shilin. The reason why he didn't enter this time was to save the limited number of times he entered the forest and use it at a critical moment.

However, people who have entered the literati circle can sense each other's aura, but Xi Muyuan has not captured such an aura from Qiu Yan since he arrived, and even his literary thoughts are extremely weak, so he suspects that Qiu Yan is just a name for nothing.

This is also because Qiu Yan has achieved success in cultivation, which will lead to such consequences.

After all, Qiu Yan is not only a Confucian scholar, but also a cultivator. He has also comprehended the mysteries of Shinto. In addition, he has studied the spirit of sages and just confirmed his knowledge with Han Yi. His state of mind has a tendency to transform. Under the combined effect of these factors, Qiu Yan's aura has already shown a sign of returning to nature.

In this case, it is already precious that Xi Muyuan and others can capture a little literary aura from Qiu Yan.

You know, Duolu and the long-robed man who had traveled with King Yan before, were unable to detect the literary aura of Qiu Yan. However, this was not because Duolu and the long-robed man were not as good as the three. In fact, Xi Muyuan and others were not cultivators. The reason why they could catch a trace of literary thoughts was that they were close to Qiu Yan. The second point was that they were devoted to literature. Although they also had the heart of fame and fortune, they were much purer than others, so they could detect literary thoughts.

However, in the face of doubts, Qiu Yan had no intention of arguing. He didn't need to force others to believe his statement. Moreover, in Qiu Yan's view, arguing with literati did not have much humanitarian value.

After saying goodbye, Qiu Yan strode away.

"It's better to hear about someone than to meet him."

After Qiu Yan left, Xi Mu shook his head and gave an evaluation: "When I heard the name Qiu Yan a few days ago and knew that he defeated Secretary He and alarmed Mr. Chen, I wanted to confirm it with him, but today I heard that he failed to enter the literati, and I knew that this person was a little exaggerated."

The silent An Jin also said: "To enter the literati, you must have a clay sculpture of a sage, but the clay sculpture belongs to each academy. Those who enter the academy must have a record, but I haven't heard of Qiu Yan's name. I don't know how he entered the academy."

Han Weier frowned and wanted to say something, but she couldn't say it after all.

As for Zheng Yi, he was always smiling and didn't say much.

On the other side, King Yan in the wine shop saw this scene, but his eyes flashed with brilliance, and he turned around and gave orders to a servant. (To be continued. Please search for Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
