"Enter Shilin in advance?"

Qiu Yan's eyes moved slightly, and of course he could tell that this "Shilin" did not refer to the real Qingliu of Shilin, but to Xingtan's discussion of Taoism and his soul entering Shilin!

The old man still smiled and said: "That's right, let's enter Shilin in advance. This Xingtan forum and soul entering Shilin will involve the whole of Da Rui, and even overseas academies. When so many people go in together, it will be like thousands of people entering Shilin together." You can guess the difficulty of crossing the single-plank bridge with thousands of troops, even if I don’t explain it.”

"The old gentleman should be Shu Lao," Qiu Yan took over the conversation and asked directly, "The old gentleman can see that Qiu is angry, so he is not an ordinary person, but what is the reason for entering Shilin in advance? One thing?"

The old man, also known as Shu Lao, after hearing this, just looked at Qiu Yan and did not answer directly.

Suddenly, Qiu Yan felt a chill on his body, and felt like he was being watched. His heart started to beat, and he wrapped his mind around himself, and then said: "Old sir, please explain the matter clearly. If not, Qiu will do it himself." Say goodbye."

Shu Lao withdrew his gaze and said: "This matter is not considered a secret in the academy. The so-called Xingtan Forum is actually about the Ji family using their ancestor Yu Meng to open up a stable channel. It is not a big deal. If you want to become a scholar, Lin, this is not the only way to go.”

"Oh? I'm all ears, junior." When he heard that the old man wanted to explain in detail, Qiu Yan was not polite and tried to take the initiative with his words.

"You, junior, are quite interesting," Shu Lao grinned again and continued, "Have you ever heard that in ancient times, some people suddenly enlightened and made great progress in knowledge, or suddenly lost their minds and became bookworms?"

He suddenly raised this seemingly unrelated question. Qiu Yan suddenly understood after thinking about it, and asked tentatively: "Could the old gentleman mean that someone once entered the scholarly forest unintentionally?"

Shu Lao smiled and said: "What you said is half right and half wrong. Some people have become scholars, and some have just awakened their wisdom from their previous lives."

"Su Hui in the past life?" Qiu Yan narrowed his eyes, "How could Su Hui hide this from Po Meng?"

The so-called Su Hui literally means sleeping wisdom, but wisdom and knowledge are difficult to emerge out of thin air, so this sleeping Su Hui actually refers to the resurrection of the memory of the previous life.

Thinking of this, the figure of Zheng Yun flashed in Qiu Yan's mind. Zheng Yun is the son of his good friend and can be regarded as his disciple. He is born with knowledge and has a bit of Su Hui, but he still needs to lay a solid foundation. On this study tour, Qiu Yan did not Didn't take it with me.

On the other hand, Qiu Yan's spiritual body had seen the Wangchuan River and Huangquan Road in the underworld. He knew that the memories of his previous life would be gathered in Po Meng's bowl before reincarnation and be scattered into the river. No trace of them would survive, and he wanted to keep them. It's not easy.

"You are a scholar. Not only do you have the soul of cultivating sex, but you also know something about Po Meng." The scholar's face showed a little surprise, "However, these things have nothing to do with this. I said this because I want to tell you that you want to enter the academy." , there is not only one way, even without the Sage Paper and the Sage Hall, it is still possible to enter, but this possibility is very slim and has been rare for thousands of years. "

"In this case, why did the old gentleman bring up this matter?" Qiu Yan certainly didn't think that he could catch up with this chance, let alone that the old man in front of him had the ability to send himself to Shilin directly. Besides, the other party's purpose was... He hasn't grasped it yet.

"The Scholarship and the Xingtan Forum are actually two different things. It's just that the Ji family deliberately confused it to make it seem like they are the same thing." Shu Lao said, slowly getting up, "It is not that only the Xingtan Forum can enter the Scholarship. , as long as it can move the saints and shake the clay sculptures, it can be done.”

After hearing these words, Qiu Yan recalled what Ji Zheng had said, and finally asked: "Even so, it's not easy to think about. Why does the old gentleman think that Qiu's writing can shock clay sculptures?"

"Because of your literary heart. Create your own way. Such a literary heart will definitely shake the clay sculptures of sages." As he spoke, he tremblingly walked around the desk and said as he walked: "I won't beat around the bush anymore. You won't You must have your own considerations before entering the academy. I can allow you to go to Shilin through the Spring and Autumn Sage Hall without going to the Spring and Autumn Academy."

"Qiu thank you sir for your kindness, but please explain your true meaning." Qiu Yan knew that the main event was coming. The old scholar in front of him obviously had an extraordinary status in Chunqiu Academy. It was impossible for him to say these words for no reason. There must be someone behind this. There is a reason.

Sure enough, I heard the old scholar say: "If I say that I have nothing else to do but just want to help you, even I won't believe it myself, and I guess you won't feel at ease either, so just say it straight, I'll help you." Go to Shilin, I hope you are there and can help me get something out of it."

"Take something?" Qiu Yan became more and more confused, "To be honest, Mr., although I have never been to Shilin, and my understanding is limited, I also know that it is difficult to control things if the soul enters them. Even if I can control them, I may not be able to control them. Bring them out, not to mention, there are so many talented people in Chunqiu Academy, there will definitely be many people who can go to this discussion, why let me, an outsider, come forward? "

His words have two meanings. In addition to the literal meaning, there is also a meaning of disassociation, which is also a polite rejection.

After hearing this, Shu Lao shook his head and smiled: "Things are not as simple as you think. The place I want you to go to can only be entered by people with a literati education. Moreover, if you go there, the benefits will be endless. After you come back, you will be able to It’s no big deal to try.”

"Oh? Qiu can understand the general meaning of Wen Pi Yi Dao," but Qiu Yan frowned, "However, the Spring and Autumn Academy has a long history, and there are such people, why not let them take action?" When he said this , Ma Yang's figure flashed through Qiu Yan's heart.

When Shu Lao heard this, he shook his head and said: "Don't think that Shilin is a place where people can take whatever they want. There are dangers inside. If the soul enters it, it will be contaminated with the breath. The more times it enters, the more likely it is that it will never come out again, so a person The number of times a person can enter is limited and cannot exceed the limit of one's own soul. Generally speaking, each person has less than three chances!"

He raised his head and glanced at Qiu Yan: "How many people who are able to open up a path with a literary mind would not enter the academy and wander around? Although there are such people in our Spring and Autumn Academy, that person can no longer enter the academy. ”

"Thank you, old man, for your advice." Qiu Yan said sincerely. The old man's words revealed a lot of information, which gave Qiu Yan a general impression of Shilin, which was even more useful than Jizheng's introduction.

"These things are not secret. With your literate mind, you can know immediately as long as you join an academy." Shu Lao waved his hand, "How about it? Have you made a decision?"

Qiu Yan shook his head and said: "I can't decide in a hurry. I still need to think carefully."

"That's right," Shu Lao nodded and raised his skinny palm, "However, Lao Chen sees that your luck may be up or down, and it is constantly changing, but you have the potential to leap over the Dragon Gate. It shows that you must go to this scholar's forest. , in this case, I’d rather ask for help first.”

After finishing speaking, a yellow light suddenly flashed in the old man's hand, and a piece of white paper appeared in his hand. The paper was white and full of willfulness, but it was only the size of a palm.

"This is..." Qiu Yan's pupils shrank when he saw the paper, and he caught a pure, blank mental wave from it, "Sage paper?"

While he was thinking about it, Shu Lao took out a brochure bag from his body and put the paper in his hand into it.

That’s it.

Pulling the rope, the brocade bag was tightly held, and then the old man raised his hand and handed it over.

"Old sir, what are you doing?"

Looking at the kit in front of him, Qiu Yan did not reach out to take it. Qiu Yan had not yet accepted the sage paper that Ji Zheng had given him as a way of repaying his kindness, so he would not accept it rashly at this time.

Seeing this, Shu Lao smiled and said: "Don't get me wrong, this is not to increase your sage status, but to ask for something from you. If you take this tip bag, if you enter Shilin in the future, and you meet someone by chance, the tip bag It will reveal itself and let you understand its true meaning.”

Seeing that Qiu Yan still didn't answer, Shu Lao said again: "Don't worry about the old man cheating. The sage paper is extraordinary. You can go to the sage hall of Chunqiu Academy to verify the authenticity. In front of the clay sculpture of the sage, you can see the clues of evil and evil. What's more, "You and Yang'er have an old relationship. I heard that we still have a teacher-student relationship. He also studied history with Lao Chan. After all, you and I are not outsiders. How could Lao Chan harm you?"

The name "Yang'er" made Qiu Yan stunned for a moment, and then he came back to his senses. His heart skipped a beat and he knew that the other person was referring to Ma Yang.

"Old Xiangguo Ma is not young, but in this old man's mouth, he is like a nephew. I wonder how old this man is?"

The other party had already reached this point and made his relationship with Ma Yang clear. Due to both emotions and reasons, Qiu Yan couldn't continue to refuse, so he had no choice but to accept the tip.

"In this way, I will feel at ease. When you want to enter the academy, you can go directly to the Sage Hall of Spring and Autumn Academy and write down the path of opening up with literary heart and ink. The required sage paper will be provided by the academy."

After doing this, Qiu Yan saw that his words were almost finished, so he took his leave and the old man didn't stop him.

After leaving the library, Mr. Zheng had disappeared. Only Ma Shou was waiting outside. Qiu Yan did not actually go to the Sage Hall to verify. After a few words with Ma Shou, the two left the academy.

After returning to the city, Ma Shou said goodbye, but on the way, he didn't ask a word.

"See you later."

After bidding farewell to Ma Shou, Qiu Yan walked towards the inn, but in his mind he recalled what he had just experienced. In addition to what Shu Lao said, there was also the inexplicable emotion in his heart before.

"Although my flesh and blood body does not have the ability to control and reverse emotions as a demon body, I can only refine my mind with articles and my heart is clear. Why do I leave distracting thoughts? It seems that this inner fire is not simple. I need to take some time to investigate it. Just once.”

After thinking about it, he returned to the inn, and Hu Qi and Dai Guo immediately greeted him. They came back first after Qiu Yan left Ma Mansion.

After saying a few words, Qiu Yan returned to the door of the room. Just as he was about to open the door, he suddenly paused, then narrowed his eyes, and a gleam flashed between his eyes.

Then, he pushed hard and opened the door.

There was a person standing in the room.

"Brother Chen, why did you come in without telling me? Isn't this inconsistent with Mr. Chen's teachings?" Qiu Yan walked into the room and said. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
