"Something happened in Shilin!"

When the news was sent to Wenxuan Tower, several gentlemen were drinking tea. But as soon as he received the news, Zhou Dongyi could not make up his mind and came to the messenger and the two Confucian scholars.

"Tell me more about it."

The two Confucian scholars were still in shock. If the room was not filled with the thoughts of great Confucian scholars, which could calm their minds and calm their minds, they might not even be able to speak clearly.

Although Zhou Dongyi was anxious, he did not urge him, but comforted him with gentle words. After a few breaths, the two Confucian scholars told what they had experienced.

One of them said: "After I entered Shilin, I first moved around the stronghold. As time went by, those who were the first to enter the forest had a strong aura of Shilin and began to return. The number of people gradually decreased. At this time, the people of Tianli Academy Secretary He, please call on a few people to go together, in groups of ten, to explore outside together. "

Zhou Dongyi nodded: "It's good to explore outside. It's rare to go into the forest once. It would be a pity if it was limited to one-third of an acre. It's right for you to go together. After all, Shilin is dangerous. If you encounter danger while walking alone, It’s hard to escape, and no one even knows.”

Another Confucian scholar said: "This is the truth. We all understand it, so we respond to the call and slowly explore outside. At the beginning, we are not far from the station. If we encounter any danger, we can go back in time. Slowly, Once I became familiar with the dangers around me, my tense heartstrings relaxed. Many people gradually expanded their exploration scope, and some even went deep into the dense forest."

Zhou Dongyi understood immediately: "In this case, it was not that something happened to Donghuazhou's stronghold in Shilin, but that something happened after being far away from the stronghold."

After saying this, he was obviously relieved, as he had heard about the accident in Shilin before. He is thinking about the worst-case scenario and inevitably worries about gains and losses.

The great scholar, sir, may be wise and insightful, but he does not have the ability to calculate like a monk, and he does not have enough information in his hands. It is difficult to judge and speculate on the development of things.

Shilin is a place isolated from the outside world. Even if the scholar has entered the forest before, it has been unclear what the situation inside has been like for decades. How can we speculate?

When the news came just now, not only Zhou Dongyi was concerned, but other relevant scholars were also very concerned. Now after listening to the words of the two Confucian scholars, I knew that the matter was not the worst. I was more or less relieved.

On the other side, the Confucian scholar said with lingering fear, not noticing the expressions and demeanor of the others, nor the strangeness of the atmosphere just now. Later, when he mentioned a few people going out to explore in a group, he mentioned several a name.

these names. The great scholars in the room had all heard about him, and knew that he was the best in other academies outside the Eastern Capital, and there were also some famous underachievers in the aristocratic families.

In this Xingtan forum, several cities in Da Rui participated. In addition to the capitals of a country such as Xingjing and Dongdu, the lands of Yanzhao and Sanjin in the north, Qilu and Lianghuai in the east, and the lands in the south Jiangnan, Lingnan, and even Bashu in southwest China. Further west, in the hundreds of countries in the Western Region, there are several large cities where many Confucian scholars have gathered and their souls have entered the scholarly forest.

Some of these people entered the forest. Scattered into several strongholds, some of which were together with the strongholds in Xingjing and Dongdu. These two scholars were paired up with others. The candidates were not limited to Dongdu Academy. On the contrary, because Dongdu Academy competed with each other, they were forming companionships. When the time came, he would instead look for scholars from other cities.

With a little thought, everyone here can understand this.

"... Even if we leave the stronghold and encounter danger, we have gained experience in survival and it is no problem to work together, and we have gained a lot. We gradually relax our vigilance, and even if there is news of danger, we will not worry about it. "

The two Confucian scholars talked to each other and told each other what happened. It's not that they missed the point. If the Confucian scholars present want to make reasonable speculations and decisions, they must collect enough information. Of course, they must inquire in detail to understand the causes and consequences.

"What dangerous news?" Zhou Dongyi frowned, "Everything in this world is connected. Could it be that you don't take my daily teachings to heart?"

The two Confucian scholars immediately obeyed, and Mr. Chen said: "Brother Zhou, don't be too busy criticizing. If they are knowledgeable about the world, there is no need to learn from us. Let's explain the matter clearly first."

"Tell me." Zhou Dongyi was also anxious. You must know that the news brought by the two mentioned that an academy student had died. If this matter was not related to other academies, Zhou Dongyi would have rushed back.

"A few days ago, there were several groups of people who went out but didn't return. I didn't pay much attention at the time, thinking that they had just met by chance. Only when we did, did we realize that there were monsters out hunting the souls of scholars!" Although the Confucian scholar was afraid of making Zhou Dongyi angry, he knew that he couldn't hide it, so he still told the truth.

"What kind of monster?" Zhou Dongyi's heart moved.

"The monster is ferocious and extremely fast. As soon as it appears, it will be followed by a cold light. If it pauses for a moment, the person will die. You can't see it clearly. You can only see its outline, which seems to be similar to ordinary people," the Confucian scholar said, trying his best to Recall, "There were nearly ten of us, but in the end only two escaped."

After listening to what the two said, Zhou Dongyi couldn't sit still at all.

"If what you said is true, that monster is definitely not from Donghua Continent!"

"Don't dare to deceive me at all!" The two Confucian scholars quickly told how they escaped along the way. There were several people in their group. In the end, only three of them survived. In the end, one of them was killed. If it weren't for the secret path in the academy, the entire army would have been annihilated. !

"Good guy, it's so crazy. So many souls can be destroyed at will. Aren't you afraid of karma?" Zhou Dongyi was furious and said to others, "Although Qiu Sheng's paintings are good, they can't compare to this. I don't have time to look at the paintings today, so I can only I'll go back to the academy when I have time! I'll say goodbye now!" After saying that, he hurried away with the Confucian scholar who reported the message.

As soon as Zhou Dongyi left, others also wanted to leave. Their academy had not received any news yet, but the disciples were all in the forest, so how could they rest assured? Each one of them left without covering up.

Before long, there were only three people left in the room——

Han Yi, who was the prime minister, Pang Chu, who was from Qian Shu Academy, and one more, was actually Zheng Qiu from Spring and Autumn Academy.

Looking at the room that was full of people just now but now empty, the three of them were silent at first, and then someone broke the silence.

"After something like this happened, it's really not the time to look at paintings. After hearing what those two young men said, I'm a little worried about my nephew." Pang Chu shook his head and his eyes fell on Zheng Qiu, "Mr. Zheng, don't you?" Are you worried about the disciples in your academy?”

After hearing this, the old man grinned, with a few teeth missing in his mouth: "I am old and old, and my thoughts are not as good as those of young people. I can't help much if I go back. Besides, there are so many dangers in the world. What does a temporary setback mean? It's better to redraw it. Such a grand scene in ancient times may not happen once in a thousand years. I am lucky enough to encounter it before I am about to die. I must be a witness, how can I care about it? "

"Oh? I didn't expect Mr. Zheng to have such a high opinion of Qiu Sheng!" Pang Chu was slightly surprised, "However, even if it is a rare encounter in a thousand years, it will be much less impressive now that the other people have left. It is a pity that with this A few paintings are enough for Qiu Sheng to leave a good story in Dongdu and even become famous all over the world, but now it has to be postponed for several years. "

At this time, Han Yi's voice came from the side——

"That's not necessarily the case. With everyone leaving, it seems like Qiu Yan has suffered a loss. Who knows if it's not someone else who missed out on something rare?"

"Does even the old prime minister recognize Qiu Sheng so much?" Pang Chu's face became more and more surprised, and he turned his eyes to the table.

At this moment, there are several scrolls on the table.

These scrolls were actually made by Qiu Yan. After Wenxuan’s review that day, Qiu Yan sent someone a painting. In the next few days, people came over every day, brought one, and placed it in the building for worship. Several great scholars and gentlemen watched it.

The contents of the paintings, without exception, are all scenes of ancient rule, but each painting is different. Some depict fishing and hunting, and some depict fire. A few paintings almost cover the basic necessities of ancient times.

Even though several great Confucians have different inheritances and have different understandings of ancient governance, after looking at these paintings, one can see that these paintings are not without purpose and contain a lot of secrets.

Not only the scene in the painting, but also the painting itself is unusual. One picture a day, Qiu Yan's painting skills are improving at a speed visible to the naked eye. Not only the painting skills, but also the charm of the paintings are gradually emerging. Outlined with pen and ink lines.

Qiu Yan's calligraphy contains a full-blooded artistic conception, but his paintings are different. Although the lines and calligraphy are of the same origin, the whole they form has a contradictory flavor that is thick and ethereal. The thickness comes from the pen and ink. , and Misty comes from Shen Yun.

Han Yi opened a painting and then said: "Qiu Yan's paintings are better than each other. The one sent yesterday is already comparable to the national masters in terms of technique and charm. I think today's painting will be better." There is a huge improvement, and it is very likely that the accumulated experience will be revealed and the finishing touch will be revealed. It would be a pity if other people miss this scene if the mystery of the ancient rule is once again revealed. "

"If this comment from the old prime minister is spread, it will definitely cause an uproar." Pang Chu calmed down, looked at the scrolls on the table, and squinted his eyes, "The person who took the paintings has gone, I want to take a look. , How different can this one be today?”

On the same day, Wenxuan was reviewing the review, and Qiu Yan was contemplating the ancient times. This sudden event shocked the hearts of several great scholars and made them devote themselves to each other. Each of them gained something. It was almost impossible to repeat the same tricks afterwards because they were already prepared in their hearts. , it is inevitable to leave traces of ax chisels.

Because of this, although the paintings delivered in the past few days are better and more shocking each day, they are not as good as the visualization on that day.

………………

While several people in Wenxuan Building were having a conversation, the forest where Qiu Yan lived was bustling with people coming and going.
