Dao Fruit

Seeing this person, even Tian Qi couldn't help but take a breath, and the words in his mouth could not come out.

Bai Zhaoyuan!

The most famous talent in Xingjing has a tendency to dominate the whole of Da Rui. He is known as the first person of the younger generation. In a few years, he has created a reputation that is difficult for others to match. Anyone who has stayed in Xingjing can There is no one who doesn’t know.

In the past, I don't know how many outstanding people came from all over the world. When they arrived in Xingjing, most of them would try to challenge Bai Zhaoyuan and talk about mysteries, hoping to use this to reach the sky in one step and become famous all over the world!

There are countless people who challenge them every day, like the ministers crossing the river, but Bai Zhaoyuan actually accepts them one by one, using this to collect the opinions of the world!

It should be noted that Qiu Yan acted low-key at the beginning and was regarded as a soft persimmon. Although there were people behind his back to stir up other people's emotions, the temptation to reach a higher level with just one step made many people openly or covertly Comparing and fighting with Qiu Yan, and most scholars have good reputations. Whenever there is an opportunity, they will inevitably have a fluke mentality and want to earn fame from others.

But this level is far from enough compared with Bai Zhaoyuan's original experience.

The people who dared to challenge Bai Zhaoyuan were all well-known figures in various provinces. Among them were several Jieyuan practitioners, and even some who were on the imperial examination. In order to prove their talents, they couldn't help but challenge them, but the final result was... But they are all the same——

Defeated!

Of course, more people didn't even have the courage to challenge him. They came with great interest and then returned sadly after meeting Bai Zhaoyuan.

Speaking of which, Bai Zhaoyuan became famous at a young age, but at that time he was just a smart child and could not see anything. However, after gathering his literary heart a few years ago, he seemed to have opened up Su Hui, and wrote several articles in succession, each of which moved the clay sculptures of sages. . It became a good story, and then he sat down with the great Confucianists to discuss Taoism. Only then did it really spread to the world and become known to everyone.

In his speech, he said that he would take part in the Jinke Examination.

From that time on, many people regarded the position of No. 1 Scholar in Jinke as Bai Zhaoyuan's. However, they did not expect that after Bai Zhaoyuan returned from Shilin, he did not choose to take the test, but could not come out of seclusion. The reason behind it made many people curious.

During the period from the meeting exam to the palace exam. Bai Zhaoyuan disappeared in Xingjing. When Wen Zhizhen became famous, people occasionally compared Bai Zhaoyuan with Wen Zhizhen, but Bai Zhaoyuan was still not attracted.

Of course, Wen Zhizhen never mentioned challenging Bai Zhaoyuan. Instead, he was busy with Wen Zhizhen, as if he was building momentum. It's a pity that it didn't take off in the end.

Today, when the gold medal list was put down and the top pick was ascended, Bai Zhaoyuan appeared here, which made everyone present recall that the top pick's position might have changed. Seeing the two looking at each other, they had a vague premonition.

Not to mention what Bai Zhaoyuan said. Quite thought-provoking.

"From this tone, it seems that the two of them have known each other for a long time..."

Zhou Guan, who was the closest, looked back and forth between Bai Zhaoyuan and Qiu Yan, picking up some clues.

He had also heard about Bai Zhaoyuan for a long time, and today he actually saw it, just a few steps away. You can feel the rich aura of literary thoughts on the other person, and you can't help but be secretly shocked, thinking that if you were facing each other head-on, you haven't spoken yet. The momentum will fall first.

"Brother Qiu looked at this man and didn't show any weakness at all. It's really extraordinary. It's true that he is the number one scholar!"

In fact, when Bai Zhaoyuan came, wherever he passed, people along the way would subconsciously lower their voices even if they were talking, and they would have unspeakable feelings in their hearts and spontaneously avoid him.

As for Tian Qi, who was originally standing in front of Qiu Yan, he had already retreated to the edge. He looked at the two people confronting each other and then looked at the box he had brought. He was in a dilemma.

The atmosphere gradually became solemn, and invisible pressure fell on everyone.

At this time, Bai Zhaoyuan suddenly spoke: "I was researching in the literary museum. As soon as I had a clue, I felt the bright yellow tumbling, and realized that the people were willing to besiege the city. I knew it was you who did it. Now when I look at it, I know that you have indeed stepped into that realm, but Or is it just a borrowing, not a fundamental one? Is it just trying to take advantage of others?"

Qiu Yan listened, pondered for a while, and replied: "Four steps to the dragon, just like the steps made by the predecessors. Only by climbing up the stairs can you climb high and see far away. Only by looking at the universe can you know your own path."

After hearing this, Bai Zhaoyuan pondered for a moment, then raised his hand and nodded in front of him, and said: "Above the Dragon Qi, there is the source of order, which is the beginning and end of everything. The order of the world is not valued by people. Once it leaves the order, Only then do we realize its importance. I lead the horse to attack just to make the order that is not noticed by others manifest. "

As his words fell, a little thought arose between the two of them, exuding the intention of asking for advice and inquiry, which was difficult for others to check.

As he spoke, Bai Zhaoyuan's eyes flashed a little, but his face did not change at all. He remained as calm as before. This look fell into Qiu Yan's eyes, which made his heart move. He asked: "Then why give up the imperial examination? The imperial examination is of great importance to humanity. There is no need to take risks on the journey to see the dragon.”

As soon as these words came out, those thoughts stopped in the air and hesitated to move forward.

To others, the conversation between the two seemed a bit confusing, but in the minds of Qiu Yan and Bai Zhaoyuan, it was as clear as a mirror. Bai Zhaoyuan also knew that what Qiu Yan was referring to was that night at the Shangyuan Lantern Festival. It's about harnessing your mind's horse and attacking the dragon's energy. What Bai Zhaoyuan said was that Qiu Yan's thoughts were in order.

That day when the papers were being read, the dragon's energy in the hall turned into mist. Some people knew it was a vision, but except for a few people, others did not know that this vision affected the order. For example, Zhang Cheng, if he knew that Qiu Yan's thoughts were in line with the order, he would definitely not If you act like that, there will be no doubts.

There is no need to say more about these things.

"After all, the imperial examination is artificial and has many disadvantages. Although it can be close to the dragon spirit, it is artificial. If you fall into it, you cannot get the truth." Bai Zhaoyuan shook his head and looked at Qiu Yan with a look of regret, "You are now the number one scholar. , The fortune is surging, but it is also entangled with the dynasty. In the future, it will inevitably be affected or even directly deceived. "

After saying these words, that little thought actually transformed, becoming more and more pure, as if something was about to be revealed.

Qiu Yan also shook his head and said with a smile: "There are no absolutes in the world. Brother Bai wants to eliminate all human factors and remove the false while retaining the true. But what he shows may not be humane. People's hearts are changeable. If you don't join the world, how can you know the true from the false? How to seek the true way? Only when you know what you know in your heart can you see the truth."

"The true way is when no one can help you." Bai Zhaoyuan looked at Qiu Yan deeply. His brows furrowed, as if some problem or doubt had arisen.

When the people nearby heard this, although they didn't know why, they still saw that the two were talking about what was in their hearts, and they immediately became excited, wanting to know that Bai Zhaoyuan, who had already established a solid reputation, was the most powerful. Qiu Yan, the new top scholar, is even better.

"If that's the case, why does Brother Bai insist on exploring Minghuang?" Qiu Yan said, his eyes fell into the void, staring at the thoughts of transformation, and the thoughts contained in his words were already integrated into it. Let the thoughts slowly collapse.

After hearing this, Bai Zhaoyuan replied immediately without any hesitation: "Although I don't want to be involved in officialdom or blinded by the luck of the dynasty, I also know the principle of yin and yang. Without falsehood, there is no truth. To get rid of falsehood, you really can't live without it. People don’t have to be in a urn. They should just watch with a cold eye, so that they can see through the order from the outside to the inside. "

After saying this, he reached out and grasped the thoughts in his hands. Then he raised his hands and saluted: "Coming here this time, I should have congratulated you on winning the first prize, but now it seems that it is not necessary. I wish you can move forward as you wish and not go astray."

When he finished speaking, he held his hand. Turn around and leave.

The conversation between the two people was already confusing to others, and Bai Zhaoyuan's last few actions made them even more confused. But the reputation of the two people is there, no one dares to ask. Everyone can see that kind of equal conversation and confirming the ideas in their hearts. Moreover, what happened today can also be used as a conversation piece in the future, giving them a kind of testimony. The feeling of the moment.

However, there is a question that inevitably appears in everyone's mind——

"Who won this debate?"

Bai Zhaoyuan's reputation spread far and wide, and Qiu Yan was at the height of his popularity. People present either knew about Bai Zhaoyuan's past experiences, or had witnessed Qiu Yan's vision, saw the two talking, and felt tit-for-tat. Of course, they paid attention to the superiority, and could not avoid using themselves. Knowledge to judge.

As a result, some people promoted Qiu Yan to a level comparable to Bai Zhaoyuan, while others looked up at Bai Zhaoyuan because of Qiu Yan. The mystery of this cannot be fully described in words.

However, when Bai Zhaoyuan just walked out of the door, he suddenly stopped and looked up at the sky.

"Huh?" At the same time, Qiu Yan's consciousness stirred, his heartstrings flicked, and his three bodies trembled. The Li Gua suddenly changed, showing a picture. The flesh and blood body in the inn turned to look out the window.

There is nothing unusual in the sky, and there are no clouds in the sky.

However, in the void, hundreds of rays of light were flashing across, rushing over from the distant starry sky, like shooting stars. Their number and scale were so large that if they were exposed to the world, they would be enough to make all observers stunned. The people of the star were so horrified that they left entire words in the history books.

Uh-huh! Uh-huh! Uh-huh!

The brilliance circulates, and the meteors slide down, pointing straight to the south, dotting the void, and spreading all over the five marshes in southern Xinjiang.

………………

"Um?"

At the same time, in the north of Xingjing City, at the edge of the mountains and jungles,

Zhen Zhizuo had some idea, looked at the sky, frowned slightly, then withdrew his gaze, turned his eyes, and fell on the famous monument in front of him.

The three words "Dafan Temple" are engraved on it, horizontally and vertically, revealing a sense of solemnity and solemnity, which can calm people's hearts and calm their thoughts.

"Is this the school mentioned in the letter that originated from Zhutuolan? From the words, you can indeed taste a different artistic conception from the Central Plains, but..."

Zhen Zhizuo was still thinking about it, but An Jin urged him behind him, so he had to restrain his thoughts and led a group of people past the monument and into a simple courtyard.

Secretary He and Chen Jing followed closely behind. Behind these three disciples of Tianli Academy were Gao Song from Chongli Academy, An Jin from Jiuyuan Academy, and others. In addition, there were many other scholars. , faintly divided into several groups.

"Dear donors, please follow me." A young novice monk came towards me. He was not very old, about eleven or twelve years old. He was not surprised to see everyone.

An Jin said: "Little brother, there are patients in the car..."

"Don't worry, my master has already sent people over..." Before he could finish speaking, a scream came from a carriage next to the monument——

"What did you say? This is impossible!"
