"Brother Qiu, it is indeed wrong to come in without telling us, but some things must be hidden."

The man in the room said, and with a wave of his hand, strong wind surged in his hand, and he closed the door behind Qiu Yan.

When this hand was shown, Qiu Yan's eyes moved slightly, and he saw the clever force inside. This seemingly simple movement used the force of the fist to press the air, burst out airflow, and closed the door, but he had to bypass the door in front of it. Qiu Yan, and the force is neither too much nor too little. It requires a high degree of control to not damage the wooden door.

"Chen Jing's life cultivation is at least as good as refining the central soul!" After refining the central soul, the central soul cannot move, and the mind coordinates the whole body, and the power of the whole body can be controlled to the smallest detail.

Qiu Yan roughly discerned the other party's reality, looked at the people in the room, and narrowed his eyes.

The person who appeared in front of him was Chen Jing from Lizong Academy.

Chen Jing has martial arts in his body. Qiu Yan has long seen this. If a person has martial arts, after beating his flesh and bones, his spirit, energy and spirit will naturally be different. Even when he makes movements and walks, it can be revealed. The clues, without deliberately pretending, can be seen by anyone with a little bit of vision.

However, the Chen Jing in front of Qiu Yan seemed a little different. He had martial arts skills, but he followed the principles of Li Zong when he walked, and had a sense of natural order. In this way, it would be difficult for others to notice. If he hadn't greeted Qiu Yan, When Yan went north, he was riding in the same car, so he wouldn't be discovered so easily.

The door was closed, and Chen Jing came over, bowed his hands in salute, and said an apology: "Brother Qiu, please don't take it to heart."

Qiu Yan returned the greeting without saying much, and just asked: "Brother Chen sent the troublemaker this morning. He still has good intentions, so I can't hold him accountable. However, I still need to make it clear about the purpose of coming here, right?"

"Of course." Chen Jing nodded, showing a peaceful smile, "Actually, the purpose of Chen coming here this time is the same as that of Spring and Autumn Academy looking for Brother Qiu."

"Oh? Brother Chen also knows that Chunqiu Academy has found Qiu?" Qiu Yan said, snapping his fingers, and had a guess about the reason for Chen Jing's sudden appearance, knowing that it was related to the Xingtan forum.

"Brother Qiu, you gathered your literary heart at Lizong Academy and then rejected the teacher. This is not a trivial matter. From that time on, Chen expected that Spring and Autumn Academy would come to you," Chen Jing said with a calm look on his face. "Given your relationship with Ma Lao Xiangguo, there is no reason why Spring and Autumn Academy will let you go. After I knew Ma Laoqi's plan, I expected that people from Spring and Autumn Academy would find you soon, but I didn't expect it to be so soon."

After hearing this, Qiu Yan pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Brother Chen is here this time, Lizong probably doesn't know about it."

"Brother Qiu is indeed smart," Chen Jing nodded, "I am here this time not to represent Lizong Academy, but to represent our Chen family. I want to make a deal with Brother Qiu."

"I'd like to hear the details." Qiu Yan didn't beat around the bush, nor did he refuse. If he had just arrived in Dongdu, he might have said goodbye when he saw Chen Jing, but after passing by Ji Zheng and Shu Lao Qiu Yan's thoughts on the Xingtan forum have changed slightly. He knows that Chen Jing's visit is also related to this. Listening to it can always increase his understanding before making a decision.

While speaking, Qiu Yan made a "please" gesture, pointed to a chair, and asked Chen Jing to sit down.

Chen Jing was not polite, swung his clothes, sat down, and went straight to the topic without further ado: "I think Spring and Autumn Academy should have mentioned this to Brother Qiu, right? Entering the scholarly world does not necessarily require Xingtan discussion. , and there is no need to wait until the time of discussion.”

Qiu Yan also found a chair and sat down, nodded and said, "Yes, Qiu already knows these things. I wonder if Brother Chen has anything else to teach me?" As he spoke, he confirmed his guess.

Chen Jing smiled and said: "Looking at Brother Qiu, I'm afraid he not only knows it, but also has some understanding. In fact, I came here for the same reason. Although Xingtan Forum is not the only way to enter Shilin, it is It is considered a safer one, but you should be aware that Shilin is a volatile place. Even if you enter and gain something, it will be in vain if you cannot get out in the end. "

"Huh? Qiu already knows how to enter the scholarly forest. How to come back? I have never heard of it. If Brother Chen is interested, you might as well tell him." After hearing this, Qiu Yan realized that what the other party said was Important information about Shilin, he immediately became energetic and leaned forward slightly.

Seeing Qiu Yan's performance, Chen Jing felt slightly relieved. In fact, his purpose in coming here this time was not small, but the most important thing was to impress Qiu Yan.

Chen Jing has seen Qiu Yan's abilities with his own eyes. Not only did he condense his literary mind after practicing Taoism in Heaven, but also what he did along the way, the deeds and objects he left behind all gave Chen Jing a refreshing feeling. , unknowingly, he had a high opinion of Qiu Yan, realized the importance of this person, and now he is even more aware of the value contained in him. He prepared for a long time before he came to his door.

After suppressing all kinds of thoughts, Chen Jing then said: "To be honest with Brother Qiu, Chen doesn't know much about this scholar. After all, I have never gone in, but the elders in my family have been lucky enough to enter, and their experiences there are also It’s all recorded as a classic, but I’m a junior in the Chen family, so I don’t have much to read.”

Chen Jing acted like he was talking to each other, and Qiu Yan certainly understood what was going on and immediately cooperated with him verbally.

Then Chen Jing said: "Shilin is a strange place. It is neither virtual nor real. It is said that it was formed by the thoughts of scholars over thousands of years. It contains the general trend, so it is called 'Shilin' because the virtual and the real are uncertain. , it is difficult for the physical body to enter, and the only way to go is through the soul.”

"I see. Qiu had already suspected about this scholar, but after hearing Brother Chen's words, he felt enlightened." Qiu Yan's words were not polite.

Chen Jing shook his head and said: "Brother Qiu, don't be too busy praising me. What's below is the key point. The scholar forest is not an empty place, nor is it a mountain of books and a sea of ​​literature, but it is unpredictable. Several of the things I have seen The records in the classics are either unclear, unclear, or inconsistent, so I won’t tell you these things, Brother Qiu, to avoid making things worse and confusing your thinking.”

As he spoke, he laughed again: "However, one thing is clear, that is, it is not easy to enter the Shilin, and it is also difficult to get out. The act of opening up a passage like the Xingtan Forum to allow all living beings to come and go can be described as Rare. Normally, only those with great luck can come back unintentionally even if they stray into it due to luck and cause and effect. However, if they rely on themselves to open up a literary path, it will not be easy to come back. Come to think of it, Spring and Autumn Academy must not have given Brother Qiu any instructions, right?"

"How do you say this?" Hearing this, Qiu Yan finally understood. This Lizong disciple came to the door, and his intention was probably the same as that of Jizheng.

As for the little thoughts in the other party's words, he didn't care or pay attention to it. The old scholar of Chunqiu Academy came to him and asked him to go to Shilin to pick up something for him. Once he got this thing, he would definitely return to the living world. The other party didn't explain how to come back because Qiu Yan didn't really agree, but there was no need to let Chen Jing know about these things.

After hearing the question, Chen Jing did not answer immediately. Instead, he glanced at Qiu Yan and asked another question: "Brother Qiu, does he know Bai Zhaoyuan?"

"I've heard it before," Qiu Yan said without asking further questions, nodding, "I heard he was a talented man from Dali."

Chen Jing nodded in agreement: "Yes, Bai Zhaoyuan is indeed a talented man from Dali. I have some friendship with him and know some things about him very well."

As soon as he said this, Qiu Yan's heart moved slightly. He had some guesses about Chen Jing's family background, and even thought of what the other party had said before - he was not here for Lizong, but for his own family.

While Qiu Yan was thinking, he heard Chen Jing say: "Bai Zhaoyuan's talent is real. As early as a few years ago, when he was not as young as the weak champion, he had his own literary heart, and his literary pioneers shocked Xing Xing. Beijing has even amazed many great scholars.”

Qiu Yan didn't know why Chen Jing mentioned this person and then praised him so much, but he knew that Chen Jing would not point to the wrong target, so he listened patiently without asking questions. It didn't take long before Qiu Yan heard what he was interested in -

"... Not long ago, I received a letter from my family saying that Bai Zhaoyuan had already entered Shilin in advance because of his article that shocked the clay sculptures of sages!"

"Entering the forest early?"

Qiu Yan narrowed his eyes, and then asked: "You said that Bai Zhaoyuan relied on his literary heart to enter the scholarly world without going through the Xingtan Forum?" Halfway through the words, Qiu Yan shook his head again, "That's right. Since Wen Pi Yixin, if you and Chunqiu Academy are right, then Bai Zhaoyuan has already had the ability to enter the academy, but he just didn't do it until now. "

"As expected of Brother Qiu, he figured out the key so quickly," Chen Jing praised, "But Brother Qiu, does he know why Bai Zhaoyuan established a civil society a few years ago, but chose to take action at this time? "

Qiu Yan said without hesitation: "It seems it's because of the Xingtan Forum."

"Yes," Chen Jing's eyes flashed with admiration, "Although you don't need apricot forum to enter the scholarly world, you can rely on it if you want to return safely. Bai Zhaoyuan is a talented person, but he is cautious. , Although he is sure to come back on his own, he still needs to add an insurance policy.”

Having said this, Chen Jing looked up at Qiu Yan and said solemnly: "Actually, before meeting Brother Qiu, I always thought that the younger generation should be led by Bai Zhaoyuan when it comes to academic articles. But now I know that there are still people who can The person who competes with it.”

When he saw Qiu Yan opening his mouth to speak, he waved his hand: "Brother Qiu, don't be too busy being modest. Chen came here this time not to praise you, but to make a deal. I know that Brother Qiu came to Dongdu and also participated in the Xingtan Forum." The meaning of discussing Taoism, however, is that there is no corresponding Sage Hall choice, but Chen knows a place where there is an ownerless Sage Hall! "

"Huh?" Qiu Yan's eyes widened suddenly. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
