Taiping Order

Chapter 266 The Good Fruit of Qilin

The voice of his speech was dull, like thunder. Li Guan was stunned, a little surprised, and the senior brother Fang Ziqiao with a warm smile said, "Speaking of it, I haven't talked to you yet."

"I'm waiting to hear that you came to the school, but I came to find Wenhe, worried that you will suffer a loss..."

Fangzi Qiao, Du Keming, Wei Xuancheng, and Wang Tong's disciples stared at the young man sitting there and Wen He, a genius in the academy, remained silent for a moment, and his thoughts were slightly frozen.

Who is suffering? !

After a long time, these Confucian disciples who were in the same sect as Li Guan thought, no, they are worthy of being Qilin!

Yes, it is worthy of being a Qilin in troubled times, and even Wenhe has fallen down!

This is very reasonable!

Many disciples barely rationalized the behavior of this 'Fourth Senior Brother'. Fang Ziqiao's smile remained unchanged, but said gently: "I met Su Wang Mian on the road. The Lin Wang beside Su Wang Mian heard that you were here, so I came to see you. Visit the Fire Kirin.”

As he was talking, a kirin walked slowly over from outside. The scales on his body were already pale with pale marks like an ancient red dragon. One horn of the kirin was broken, and the crack was cut halfway through a sword, with the power of a divine beast. , unable to continue growing.

The eyes are golden, but not the red and gold color that represents aggressiveness and aggressiveness when Fire Qilin is angry, but a kind of warmth that has faded away all the dryness in the years.

There is a similar ancient red dragon, although it is not as good as it is, but it also exudes a majestic aura.

Just like the ancient red dragon, he speaks people's words.

"You are Li Guanyi."

Li Guan bowed together and said, "The ancestor of Taoism, Wen Yuan, the disciple of Confucian scholar Wang Tongzi, and the disciple of the school palace, Li Guanyi, have met his seniors."

The old Qilin's expression was much slower, and he said, "It's a good kid who knows etiquette, come..." He opened his mouth slightly, and a stream of light turned out. It was a bamboo slip with a strong Confucian righteous spirit on it, which fell on Li Guan. All in front.

It is a book that records the practice method of [Power].

It is a unique skill passed down by Confucianism.

Old Qilin said, "The king, the king, the minister, the father, the son."

"Young people have the same appearance as you are, so you must show your appearance as an elder."

"This is in line with Tao and etiquette."

"If you hold politeness to me, I should respond, good boy."

The old Qilin's voice was generous and gentle when he spoke. He had never been cut off the horn of the Qilin because he fought with Murong Longtu. Even because Murong Longtu, who was only in the Grandmaster realm at that time, had a sharp sword intent. The fact that the Broken Corner cannot be regenerated has been implicated in Li Guanyi.

He followed King Su of the past dynasties and met the first Master who founded the Confucian school.

The state of mind is higher than that of most Confucian disciples.

On Li Guan's shoulder, the unicorn popped up and watched Li Guanyi get the gift.

Qilin, very happy!

He is a very good elder!

The front paws of the fire qilin lay on Li Guanyi's shoulder, raised his head and stared at the huge qilin in front of him. The majestic and solemn feeling brought about by the passing of thousands of years, mixed into a very reliable one among the divine beasts. tolerance.

"You are the Fire Qilin."

The old Qilin stared at the Fire Qilin.

He did not instantly get angry or showed any emotion, but only protected the face of Huo Qilin in front of outsiders, and never criticized and humiliated him in a way that represented the pressure of his elders.

The most basic requirement for Confucian disciples to treat others-

Love knows the evil, hate knows the good.

The old Qilin loves and cares for this younger generation, but he also knows what he lacks.

But in this chaotic world, how many Confucian disciples can persist in the most basic chapter in the Book of Rites? Can such a gentleman's spirit be passed on to future generations?

Old Qilin nodded, turned to look at Li Guanyi and said:

"How long will it take to see here?"

Li Guanyi replied: "I have to stay in Zhongzhou for about two months. After Autumn Hunting, I will stay for a while and I will probably leave."

Two months, sixty days.

The old Qilin said in a gentle voice: "Okay, I am the oldest Qilin between the world. There is a second Qilin in this world. Very good. I hope to have a good exchange with this Fire Qilin."

"I hope you and his consent are sought."

Huo Qilin immediately transmitted the message to Li Guanyi's heart: "I do!"

The old Qilin stared at the little guy.

The front paws almost broke even the ground.

Oh yell.

I have been with humans for almost five hundred years, but have I not even learned language?

Old Qilin's attitude became more and more gentle, but in Li Guan's eyes, something terrible seemed to be twisting behind Old Qilin.

The old Qilin's body turned white with time and his scales turned red.

The little Qilin was so happy that he stretched out his claws.

Li Guanyi smiled and said, "Since He also wants to do so, please, senior." He picked up the fire Qilin, the old Qilin lowered his head, and Li Guanyi put the little Qilin on the old Qilin's body. .

The old Qilin thanked him and slowly left with the little Qilin.

The little Qilin was very happy and even took the initiative to shake his tail.

The old Qilin's movements solidified.

It seems to have encountered a huge impact.

The claws pressed into the hard ground filled with literary qi in the Academy.

The old Qilin's expression became more and more gentle. The white scales on his body turned completely red under the erosion of time, and it seemed to explode: "Okay, very good, very good."

Fang Zi Qiao watched Lao Qilin leave and said, "It looks really like it."

"What do you think?"

"Nothing." Fang Ziqiao smiled and said, "Since Guanyi has come to the school, I always have to visit the teacher. I am here today, and this is why I am here."

Master Wang Tong helped Li Guanyiduo in Guanyi City and Jiangzhou City, and taught him the art of thousands of people. Li Guanyi said, "It should be like this, but, senior brother, please wait a moment, I'm still here. Something is there."

A natural senior brother made Fang Ziqiao’s smile slightly gentle.

"good."

Li Guanyi looked at Wen He who fell down drunk because of a thousand days of drunkenness, and asked Ling Pingyang to call the carriage. After the carriage came, Li Guanyi stretched out his hand and pushed Wen He, although this Confucian disciple himself It is considered that the internal energy is not weak.

But Qianri Drunk is the best spirit in the world that can make martial arts legends feel drunk. This guy seems to be very drunk. Ling Pingyang plans to carry this Mr. Wenhe directly and said, "My lord, since you are here to visit your husband. , Mr. Wenhe will give it to me."

"I will take him back and take good care of him."

At the peak of the fifth level, the first young rider of the white dragon magic figure made a promise with a hearty smile.

Li Guan looked at the sleeping scholar of the Confucian scholar in the school and said, "No need, I'll take the sir into the car." The young Taoist picked up the sleeping Wenhe, then walked out, and the car was outside. Many disciples from the academy have discovered the situation and come to inquire.

After all, the old Qilin was too conspicuous. They saw the carriage outside, and the disciples of Confucian Master Wang Tongzi surrounded him. When they were curious, they saw the young man wearing a simple Taoist robe walking out with a man in his arms.

Li Guan stepped on the carriage and carefully put down the sleeping and drunk Wenhe.

"I got the help of my sir, like a thousand troops."

Wenhe was drunk.

The carriage was dull and dark inside, and the young man said:

"Sir, don't pretend to be drunk. If you are drunk by me, you will still be forced to take away. Even if it is a crisis in Jiangnan in the future, others will only think that you are forced to abduct, rather than taking the initiative to make suggestions."

"For a talent like you, who obviously never returned to your heart, my enemies will definitely focus on winning over and not kill your life, right?"

Outside was the school. The wind blew across the road of various schools of thought, carrying eight hundred years of literary spirit, and the trees and branches rustled. The drunk young strategist opened his eyes.

There were people coming and going outside, and the sound was noisy.

Inside the carriage, the young Taoist and the young strategist looked at each other.

Wen He's simple face became a little playful because of his cold and quiet eyes, so the unicorn and the poisonous snake were looking at each other.

Li Guan raised his hand and the token in his hand fell into Wen He's arms: "It's the token of this Kirin Army cavalry in the imperial city. If you want to leave, they won't stop you."

"Thank you for your advice."

"I hope I can see you when I come back."

"But if sir leaves, Li Guanyi will not stop him."

The young Taoist bowed and said:

"Sir, it's really a talent."

Wenhe was speechless for a moment. The young man turned around and jumped out of the carriage, and ordered Ling Pingyang, "Pingyang, you don't have to worry about it after you take your husband back. Come here to wait for me and go to another place."

Ling Pingyang clasped his fists and bowed, and replied, "Yes."

Ling Pingyang drove the carriage himself, and the carriage was stable and fast. Wen He pointed his fingers on his stomach, and a stream of internal energy swelled up, and he opened his mouth to spit out the thousand-day drunkenness. With his nature, he would not be easily affected. He had just deliberately before. Disguise made Li Guanyi lower his vigilance.

You can leave.

Looking at the Kirin Army's waist card, Wen He was silent for a long time, and finally sighed, "Forget it, he was able to get this step with me. Although it was just a small skill, it was a bit interesting."

He lay lazily there: "Maybe drinking."

"Sir, I finally got that drunk."

"I can't turn my mind and don't think about it."

He hooked his fingers on the tassel hanging on the waist sign, turned around, and said, "Let's go and have a look. After helping you deal with this matter, I will leave again. Well, it can be considered as leaving a way out for the future. .”

Wenhe was quiet for a while and looked at his palm:

"That's true, what a [chain]."

………

Li Guan sent a handful of Wenhe on it.

He actually failed to find this strategist who was the first to do so.

However, Zhang Ziyong's own body, which even surpasses the immortal dragon Yuan, gave feedback at the moment of contact. Wen He's breathing, heartbeat, and even the speed of blood circulation were all normal awakening and false sleeping and death. state between.

In other words, Wenhe was sober at that time.

Only the words just now were there.

Li Guanyi, Fang Ziqiao and others visited King Gongyang Su, and then went to the villa where Master Wang Tong was. This Confucian master, who was over thirty years old and had a great reputation, was waiting with a smile. He was the fourth true disciple who arrived.

He poured tea himself and asked Li Guanyi what he had done in Jiangnan before. Finally, he sighed: "It's done well."

Li Guanyi replied: "It's all the teachings of teachers and ancestors."

Master Wang Tong smiled and said, "Don't put gild on my face. What did I teach you again? When you reach this point, you need not only those things, but the achievements of yourself and your colleagues. You can do it. He raised his head and held his chest out, and thought he was glorious."

"You come to the school, do you have any ideas?"

Li Guanyi said what Wen He said.

Although Wenhe proposed a clever plan to differentiate, suppress and absorb families, he was still short of people and money. Master Wang Tong coughed while covering his lips:

"Is there a lack of people? It's not an easy thing to ask the disciples of the Academy to go to Jiangnan."

Master Wang Tong said softly:

"They came here and they had a lot of thoughts in their minds."

"If you say that one idea can make them fall to you, it is actually difficult, because both Chen and Ying are short of these young, knowledgeable and young students who do not have the foundation of aristocratic families."

"In these chaotic times, all countries are competing for talents."

"There are great scholars and masters on both sides of Ying and Chen. Many students are willing to go there. Although Gongyang Suwang praised you, the academy is not a place that is compulsive and has strict hierarchies like the secular world."

"The prestige of King Su can guide some people, but it cannot force others to go to Jiangnan. You need to convince them..." The master, who was over thirty years old, lit the rosin, and a faint fragrance lingered in the quiet room.

"Before the emperor hunts for autumn, the school will have a discussion. Only those who can convince them can let these people go with you."

Li Guanyi said: "Now my people are looking for..."

Master Wang Tong looked at the young disciple and said, "Not 10%.

Qilin is very powerful, but after all, it has only been one year since it has risen, and all countries have a national fortune for three hundred years, which is one of them. The gap in the geographical scope is too large, and the gap between a thousand miles and a territory of tens of thousands of miles is not a little bit; the gap in the army is too large .

There is a huge gap between 50,000 and 500,000 people in armor, or even one million.

It would be more than Li Guanyi expected. Li Guan smiled and said, "There are still people!"

"However, what I want to win is those students from poor families who know literacy and understand articles."

Master Wang Tong said gently: "These students rose from poor families and the people, came to the academy to study hard and make good friends with teachers. What do you think they are for?"

Li Guanyi calmed down and replied, "It's to make a name for himself."

The Master replied with a smile: "There are several kinds, but roughly, some of the things that some people think in their hearts are to want to become the best, and some have simple ideals."

"In fact, in a bigger case, the same person has the ambitions and ideals of Confucian disciples in his heart, but also the thought of getting rid of his miserable family past, joining aristocratic family, marrying women from aristocratic family, and also allowing his identity to change."

"So I think [not to lose my family name]."

"Do you know the theory of evil nature?"

Li Guanyi replied, "I know a little."

Master Wang Tong said: "Human nature is evil, and good is false. Some people say that human hearts are evil, but this sentence is not. It is evil in human nature, and goodness can be revealed by learning and guidance."

"It is free and casual in nature, like jade, without thinking, it will not be a weapon."

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

"Human nature is evil, good and false, this is what Confucian scholars like to brag about."

"They didn't know that the ancestors said this: Heaven and earth are united and all things are born, yin and yang are connected and change arises, and nature is false and the world is governed."

"The innate nature and acquired education are combined together, and the world will be greatly governed."

"Warm and fiery ideals, dark and decadent thoughts, people are gathered together, like the cycle of yin and yang. I hope you don't 'give up' the Confucian scholars and students here, they will be afraid, weak, and long for the rich Life…"

"But they are brave, fierce, and simple."

The sunlight poured down from the window, and Master Wang Tong looked gentle:

“All are very good kids.”

"Ahem cough cough cough..."

When Li Guan looked at the teacher who was in poor health at that time, he stood up to support him and said, "Teacher..." When he touched him, Li Guan paused slightly and felt the weakness of Master Wang Tong's body, and the latter was swaying. Wave your hand and said:

"That's what I am, I'm old, ahem."

"You saw it that day, too."

Li Guanyi said, "Please take good care of your health."

Wang Tong smiled and said, "I know."

After the master and apprentice finished drinking tea, Li Guan said goodbye, Wang Tong sent him away and instructed: "Remember to prepare, you want to get the thoughts of students under the vast country of Ying and Chen countries. , not just your dreams.”

"You understand, you must continue to grow."

Li Guanyi replied, "Yes, teacher."

Wang Tong smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous."

"I will help you that day."

Li Guanyi said goodbye and left. He thought about what he needed to do and hoped that Wenhe would stay. However, even if the financial problem was solved, the talent problem was still extremely serious. A big country like Chen and Yingguo had greater attraction to talents. force.

Talents, in the chaos of times, all kinds of schools of thought were born. If they did not obtain enough talents, Jiangnan would fall behind again. Li Guanyi knew especially that under this situation, the importance of talents.

Master Wang Tong watched the boy walk away, and the latter's steps were firm.

He closed the door, coughed a few times, and looked calm. He knew that Li Guanyi's road was difficult to walk. It can be said that if one step was going, there would be a step of difficulty. Fang Ziqiao supported him and said, "Teacher..."

Master Wang Tong said, "From you to accompany him."

Fang Ziqiao lowered his eyes and said softly: "Yes..."

The reason why he was so concerned about this junior brother was to persuade Yuan Zhi to arrive in Jiangnan first, and then shake Wen Lingjun and Feng Xiao's idea, and often went to find Wen He when he gave Li Guan advice.

All of this is because of Master Wang Tong, otherwise, his character would be gentle and alienated, and he would not be so serious about his junior brother who had not been together for a long time.

Fang Ziqiao whispered: "The subsequent academic court discussions, Chen and Yingguo all had great scholars."

"King Su asked the junior brother where."

Master Wang Tong said gently, "I'll do it."

Fang Ziqiao felt unbearable on his face and said softly: "Teacher, let me do it; Chen State has famous masters, famous Mo, straitors, miscellaneous masters, and many other schools of Confucianism, and various schools of thought, which is not false. .”

"The only one who supports his junior brother is the original Mohist school and the Gongyang Confucian school."

"Although the six palace masters have a good impression of Guanyi, they will not force other disciples to join which one. If that were the case, the academy would have been destroyed long ago. This is the time to compete for the world's general trend."

"It will be more harsh than every academic theories in the past eight hundred years."

"There may be hundreds of famous scholars at that time, everyone, your body..."

Master Wang Tong laughed freely and said, "I am just a husband, why are you afraid of them?"

In his courtyard, the innermost part is a hanging white paper, with lines of text written in ink on it. The handwriting is elegant and free, but it also has a sense of solemnity.

Master Wang Tong let go of Fangzi Qiao's palm.

He looked at the line of verse and said softly:

"Set up your mind for heaven and earth, and establish your life for the people."

"Support the unique knowledge for the past saints."

"Build peace for all ages."

"If these words were not done, they were just empty words, but he was walking on this road, then every step he took, the things he recited when he was young would be more important."

"Those who are good at singing will make others continue their voices; those who are good at teaching will make others continue their ambitions."

“I wish he could go further.”

"But Confucian children do not rely on Taoist techniques to continue. Confucian disciples will protect them."

"However, there are only a hundred schools of thought."

"This is what the teacher means."

Master Wang Tong smiled faintly and said, "Let's go and meet the various schools of thought in the academy for a while."

"The Academy has accumulated a lot of dirt for eight hundred years. Su Wang and the others tried their best to support the Academy's direction, but it was difficult to clean up these poisons. If you take over, you will form a scholarship similar to a family family. .”

"At that time, there would be sworms during the imperial examination."

“I will clean these things.”

"A place like the Academy should... cough cough cough..."

"It should be clean."

………

Li Guanyi walked quietly on the avenue of the Academy. It was his first time to arrive here. He really thought the scenery was good. The disciples of the Academy seemed to be at the time of study. There were no people on the way. I thought that Ling Pingyang would not come back for a while. It's a bit boring.

Li Guan glanced over, but was slightly stunned.

There, a man in his thirties and unshaven beard was quite eye-catching.

Wearing a long robe but also a sword, she sat next to a lotus pond on one side of the school. Even if she sat on a stone, her back was straight, quite polite and lawful, and was drinking by herself, but her eyes were lost, and she didn't know What are you thinking about.

Li Guanyi was curious and walked over and said, "Brother?"

Ji Zichang raised his head in a daze and saw the young man in front of him.

Ji Zichang woke up in an instant.

Li Guanyi? !

………

At the same time, the old Qilin stared at the Huo Qilin. The Huo Qilin looked at the serious old Qilin. He thought that what the old Qilin was going to say was that, right? !

Old Qilin was thinking, should we pay attention to the dignity of the child?

I want to give a majestic, kind but gentle way to teach.

Don't be too ruthless.

The kind of training I thought about before might be too cruel, I shouldn't have been like this...

The Master said that when teaching students according to their aptitude, you must be tolerant and patient with your younger generation.

Then when the fire kirin jumped down, the little guy quickly shook his tail, then he thought about it, lay directly on the ground, revealing his belly, and looking cute.

Very good, I'm so good.

The old Kirin, who traveled all over the world with the first generation of Masters:

“…”

His scales turned red due to anger.

The previous gentle thoughts, concerns and so on were broken little by little.

Fire Qilin made a kind expression of the younger generation:

"Senior, where is my good fruit?!!"

After a pause, I added:

"Meow meow?"

Squeak-stretch!

This is the sound of the last rational string of the old Qilin.

His claws stretched out, grabbed the little Qilin's neck, and lifted it up.

The Qilin's body hangs down and sways there.

Shake and shake.

Old Qilin took a deep breath, and then showed a arrogant smile from his youth: "Very good, very good."

"I'll give it to you now, and you'll have a good fruit!"

"How much do you want?"

Guru will give the other party a second chance.

He also hopes that the Fire Qilin will stop when it is better.

Fire Qilin pondered, waved his claws and said proudly:

"The more you have the better!"

Old Qilin: "..."

Even Confucianism cannot hold back.

A smile appeared on the old Qilin's face, which was called a grim smile.

"good."

"The son [can] teach you!"

"Very good, I will let you eat enough."

...

On the other end of the academy.

As soon as Li Guan walked forward, he looked at the young man in his thirties and unshaven.

"Hello, brother."

Ji Zichang looked at him blankly.

The wind blew through the two of them.

The princes of the world have gathered here, and the king of Chen and the emperor of Ying are confronting each other. Tomorrow, there will be a banquet for the contemporary Red Emperor and the Marquis of Qin Wu. The two imperial edicts that determine the future direction of the world will be with Chi Xiao. The sword and sleep in the study together.

And at this moment, in the Academy.

The emperor and the young lord of Zhongzhou met each other for the first time.
