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, wearing a high crown, with his eyes closed, exuding a simple atmosphere, as if it can calm people's hearts.

Qiu Yan walked along the way, and what he saw and heard was bizarre and strange. Although he was dedicated, he was inevitably full of doubts. After breathing on his body, Qiu Yan's mood instantly calmed down, and his thoughts became much clearer.

At the same time, he also captured a bit of natural justice from the other party. He seemed to be kneeling alone, but it gave people the feeling that he was explaining the scriptures, as if there were profound truths in his actions, words and deeds.

After thinking up to this point, Qiu Yan knew that the people in the room were extraordinary, suppressed the anger caused by Zhao You, took a step forward, bowed, and said: "Jiannan Qiuyan, I have met the senior, but I don't know how to call him?"

"Oh?" The old man frowned slightly. Although his eyes were closed, there was a look of surprise on his face, as if he had discovered something unusual.

However, without waiting for the old man to speak, Zhao You stepped forward, glared at Qiu Yan, and said righteously: "You are a newcomer, you have no rules! Speaking without authorization, it seems contemptuous; facing a sage who does not call you Mr. This is a breach of etiquette; if you speak before I have introduced you, this is Passover."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he just reprimanded Qiu Yan, caught Qiu Yan's unintentional mistake, and made three reprimands in a row, giving birth to a momentum of eloquence, matching the writing and thinking of the surroundings, and rushing towards Qiu Yan overwhelmingly!

"Huh? This Zhao You also has a literary heart, and judging by his momentum, he has some accomplishments in vertical and horizontal debates!"

Qiu Yan's eyes changed, and he felt strong malice from Zhao You, and the meaning of wanting to suppress himself and dominate was particularly obvious.

"His words were intended to overwhelm me with arrogance, but the intention was for the old man to hear them. People say that preconceived ideas come first. When I met the old man for the first time, the impression of the first conversation was very important. This old man appeared here , must be inseparable from Shilin, and even involve secrets, if it leaves a bad impression in his heart, there is no guarantee that there will be no accidents."

Recalling what the revived spirit said before and after, Qiu Yan narrowed his eyes, and his eyes became colder and colder.

really.After hearing these words, the old man frowned slightly, showing a tendency to frown.

When Qiu Yan saw him, he didn't rush, but looked directly at Zhao You, and said seriously: "This statement is wrong. I came to visit, and there is no reason to ask senior to speak first. This is respect; I don't call you sir. It's because I don't know the identity of senior. , dare not call it rashly, this is prudence; as for the theory of overstepping, it is even more absurd. Your Excellency has suppressed Qiu Mou all the way, with bad intentions, how can Qiu Mou let you arrange it? It is cowardly to accept it. I don't respect it, I don't take revenge for trivial matters, but I can't let you do whatever you want. Besides, before this senior speaks out, you will be more and more acting on your behalf, which seems inappropriate."

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

"You!" Zhao You's face turned red when he heard Qiu Yan's words, and his eyes were even more chilly. He didn't expect that Qiu Yan would directly attack the threat without any detours. He was caught off guard.

After waiting for a breath or two, Zhao You took a deep breath, then lowered his voice and said, "Your nonsense is just for a moment, without any restraint. However, the future will last forever, and I will let you know your dignity in the future."

His words seemed to be restrained, but they were threatening. They were warning Qiu Yan that he would take revenge on Qiu Yan in the future.

Unexpectedly, Qiu Yan didn't seem to understand at all, and solemnly replied: "Honor and inferiority are not determined by God. If a person behaves righteously, and his heart is in harmony with the general trend, Xiao Neng can secure a family, and he can calm the world. You don't need to emphasize your identity." , others will respect him, on the contrary, if you only act for yourself and don't care about others, then no matter how high your status is, it is only superficial, and it is really despicable and despised in people's hearts."

"Good good good good good eloquence!" Zhao You's soul body was scattered slightly, showing that he was very angry. He exuded a mood swing full of anger, which attracted the surrounding Wensi bursts, and there was a feeling of eagerness to try, as if he might pounce on him at any time , tore Qiu Yan to pieces.

"There's no need to quarrel, some trivial matters, don't hurt your peace."

At this time, the old man in the room suddenly spoke. He looked at Qiu Yan and asked, "Your name is Qiu Yan? You have some knowledge, and you are a talented person. Well, Zhao You first restrain your thoughts and wait by the side."

Following the old man's words, Zhao You's complexion 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, the fluctuating Wensi calmed down again.

But Qiu Yan did not take it lightly.

"This is the one who will take revenge!" Qiu Yan's eyes glowed coldly.

Later, his attention was attracted by the old man's words: "I didn't expect that after so many years, someone finally came to pass the third level. You said that you are from Jiannan, but the old man has never heard of this place. I don't know if it is Which continent is it located on?"

Qiu Yan chewed on the meaning, grasped some clues, and then replied: "The younger generation is from Donghua Buzhou."

Donghua Buzhou, the name refers to the land where Da Rui is located, Qiu Yan learned about it from Chen Yan, the Demon Slayer Daoist.

"Donghua Buzhou? That's how it is." The old man nodded, without any strange expression on his face, "I've heard of this continent, and it's a place where humanity thrives. No wonder it can breed characters of Wenbiyi. You haven't been infected with it." The idea of ​​Shilin must have come across the sea of ​​learning. In this case, old age will not waste your time. You should think about the risks involved. If you can survive the near death, then come back, otherwise, you can live here peacefully, go... "

"Xuehai? The ends of the earth? Three passes?"

Listening to these somewhat familiar but abrupt words, Qiu Yan narrowed his eyes, glanced at the old man's face, did not ask further, just nodded, as if he knew it already.

Although the old man closed his eyes, his expression was serene, giving off the feeling of a honest elder.

After withdrawing his gaze, Qiu Yan glanced at Zhao You again, feeling vigilant in his heart.

After hearing the old man's words, Zhao You's complexion changed drastically, and he looked at Qiu Yan with an unbelievable expression, the anger in his eyes dissipated, and was replaced by jealousy!

Burning with jealousy!

His soul and body were even swayed by the impact due to the extremely strong jealousy.

However, he finally suppressed his emotions, and after paying his respects to the old man, he took Qiu Yan and left the bamboo forest.

"This Qiu Yan was not assimilated by Shilin, but came across the sea? And Wenbi together? That's amazing!"

"Doesn't that mean that this person came here to go to the legendary holy land of Wenzong?"

"In our group, no one has ever seen such a character."

……

It didn't take long for Qiu Yan's story to spread throughout the hills. Many people's eyes on him have changed significantly, and some even have signs of coming to ask questions, but because of Zhao You's unhappiness, they dare not reveal it. .

However, an undercurrent gradually formed among the crowd.

Regarding these situations, Qiu Yan did not show much concern, and his mood was stable.

Although the surrounding area of ​​this hill was pitch black, it gave Qiu Yan a very unusual feeling. He sensed that he was traveling among the rocks, and what he felt was not an illusory idea, but a real thing.

In addition to the bamboo forest, there is a pavilion built in the middle of the hill, many of which are high-rise buildings, which look simple and elegant, and are the residences of the group of Confucian scholars. After Qiu Yan came back from the bamboo forest, he was led to one of them. Loft rest.

The room is spacious, with carved beams and painted buildings. There are calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, all of which contain charm. On the mahogany tea table, there are tea cups with a crack in the lid, and there are curls of heat wafting out of them.

Looking at the wisp of heat, Qiu Yan fell into deep thought.

"Now it seems that Zhao You should be the one who speaks here. In this way, his hostility towards me can be justified."

After flicking his fingers, Qiu Yan organized his thoughts.

"Assuming that Zhao You's words are true, this is the home of those who have been assimilated by scholars, cut off contact with the outside world, and their original social status is meaningless, but where there are people, there are disputes, so there is arbitration, so people In power, there is a distinction between superiors and inferiors, Zhao You is the one in power here, and his power is given by others."

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

"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 stable enough to leave a bad impression on the old man, so that he could no longer be threatened. "

Thinking about it, Qiu Yan couldn't help laughing: "If the old man is of extraordinary status and knowledgeable, he is indeed worthy of respect, but there is no need to try to curry favor for the so-called power. Unfortunately, but..."

He suddenly narrowed his eyes, a chill appeared in his heart.

"Although the old man gave me a sense of tranquility, peace, and even amiability, how many people who have experienced so much are the easy ones?"

The old man he had met all the time flashed through his mind——

The man in the painting, Tang Lai, Ma Yang, Han Yi, the elder in ink, the old book...

"These old people may have the heart to guide and support the backward, but none of them are simple people. It is difficult for others to grasp their minds, and Zhao Youhu's fake tiger power made others dare to be angry and dare not speak out. Could it be that the old man Do you know? If you know, but still let it go, then..."

Thinking of this, Qiu Yan shook his head.

"We must pay attention to this point, but the top priority is to find out the situation here, and then leave here to see if we can find the trace of the revived god. Secondly, the battle of Shushan has gained a lot, and we need to find a secluded place to digest. The souls in the river must be released as soon as possible. I don’t know what breaking through the three barriers represents, why did they have a narrow escape? Can they leave?”

But before he could figure it out, there was an urging sound from outside——

"Brother Qiu, please come over..." (To be continued...)
