Dao Fruit

"Excuse me, is this Qiu Xiuzhuan's house?"

The door opened, and standing outside were three energetic young men. The leader had a beard, which could be seen to have been carefully trimmed.

"Yes, it's the Qiu Mansion. May I ask what's wrong with you?" Qiu Yan looked at the three of them and felt a strong literary atmosphere, like mountains and rivers, close to nature.

The leader bowed his hands in salute: "The three of you are disciples of Jiuyun Study Hall. My name is Lin Jianzhang. I am here to send a letter to Master Qiu."

They looked at Qiu Yan and noticed something unusual. However, they did not expect that the owner of the mansion would come to open the door in person, so they asked this question.

"Jiuyun Study Room? I heard this name from someone. I heard that the owner of the study room is a sage, but why did he send a letter to Qiu?" Qiu Yan's words made the three people opposite him feel surprised.

"You...are you Mr. Qiu?"

The name of a person, the shadow of a tree.

Not to mention the purpose and thoughts of the three of them, but in recent times, Qiu Yan has become famous. Several visions have pushed his reputation to a certain level. His equal discussion with Bai Zhaoyuan has further enhanced Bai Zhaoyuan's accumulated reputation. , the icing on the cake for him, and his reputation will rise!

Now, seeing Qiu Yan open the door in person and asking questions seemingly casually, it was just an ordinary action at first, but combined with his reputation, Lin Jianzhang and others immediately felt that there was a hidden meaning in it, which was quite unpredictable.

Although they had been able to maintain their superficial calm by nourishing their Qi, these changes in their minds were reflected in their eyes and were clearly seen by Qiu Yan. It also deepened Qiu Yan's understanding of human nature and hope, but he Without saying anything, he turned around and invited the three people into the house.

"I just moved in and I'm still packing up, but the wing is already vacant. Please move on..." Qiu Yan said with a smile.

Lin Jianzhang immediately declined politely: "I'm waiting here. I was just ordered to deliver a letter, so I don't want to disturb you. I can only congratulate you on your move here. If you have any questions, you can come to the study in the next two days to ask." After saying this, he left hurriedly, as Avoid the plague.

Looking at the backs of the three of them, Qiu Yan frowned slightly.

"It's too insincere to celebrate a housewarming like this. Are you ordered to deliver a letter?" Qiu Yan opened the envelope, glanced at the contents, and his eyes gradually narrowed.

"The master of Jiuyun Zhai is very interested in holding a discussion. He also connected this matter with the return gifts from Taixu Academy, Mr. Da Chen and others. He knows how to take advantage of the situation. I think it was a few visions. , attracted the attention of the great Confucian, this is true, the vision comes from human nature, it is strange that Confucianism does not care about it, just in the name of discussing Tao, the implicit derogation in the words is abnormal. However, discussing Tao with the Great Confucian is an opportunity. Maybe the spirit body can find a turning point."

After reading the letter, he put the paper away and walked into the yard to continue packing.

"Experiencing official humanism will be a long process. Even if we can perfect the humanistic divine way, the distant water cannot save the near fire. The decrease in the popularity of incense is not yet great, but it has already revealed a crisis. The starlight shield can even use the magic of the gods. Isolation is very destabilizing to believers, and if it is not stopped, it will soon spread like a plague.”

His consciousness controls the physical body and is also trying to control the spiritual body.

"If the worship of the believers collapses and the source of divine power is cut off, the divine items may fall, and there is no possibility of escape. Therefore, in a short period of time, there must be a sufficiently pure and large number of people willing to supplement the incense to maintain... …”

I was thinking about it, but was interrupted by another knock on the door. I stepped forward to open the door, and the person who came was the steward of the Chen Mansion, Chen Bi. He brought some fruits over to congratulate Qiu Yan on his new move, and said: "My master. I’m setting up a dinner party and would like to invite you, Mr. Qiu, to enjoy it today.”

"Since your house sincerely invites you, Qiu has no reason to refuse." Qiu Yan thought for a moment and gave the answer, which made Chen Bi leave with satisfaction.

Since he had only been established in the capital for a short period of time, Qiu Yanzong had some reputation, but had not established a network of contacts. This move seemed deserted. Except for Lin Jianzhang and Chen Bi, no one came.

However, after lunch, two Taoist priests came to the door, and they were the two golden and crow elders.

These two people were banned by Qiu Yan. They stayed around at first, but then disappeared. This time they came to the door with large and small bags. As soon as they entered the courtyard, they put the bags on the ground and said coldly. : "Everything you want is in there."

"Thank you both." Qiu Yan nodded and called Hu Qi and Dai Guo. The three of them packed up their luggage and moved into a room.

This room was planned by Qiu Yan and prepared to be used as a study.

After untying the baggage, Dai Guo couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw the contents inside. There was actually a book inside the baggage. A cursory look revealed that there were at least dozens of books. Judging from the cover, most of them were It is a Taoist and Taoist book.

Seeing this, Dai Guo asked in confusion: "Sir, you asked these two old Taoist priests to leave just to collect these books?"

Qiu Yan flipped through the book in his hand and responded with a smile: "These are not collected, but copied by the two Taoist priests themselves. In the past few days, the two of them should have visited several Taoist temples inside and outside the city."

"What?" Dai Guo was surprised, "Sir, you actually let these two old Taoist priests go to the Taoist temple to copy books by themselves? This is too dangerous. What if they run away?"

"Huh, idiot," before Qiu Yan could reply, one of the two Golden Crow elders sneered, "The two of us have their lifeblood held and our cultivation essence sealed. We cannot leave so easily. This Qiu Yan kid His technique is quite destructive. If he hadn’t used force from afar to relieve the blockage of flesh and blood, over time, with our current physique and physical strength, we would have died of blood loss!”

"So that's it, the young master really has a plan!" Dai Guo was relieved after hearing this, and then remembered something, "However, there are many hidden dangers in letting them go to the Taoist sects around Xingjing. There are many monks in that sect. If... …”

This time, it was Hu Qi who interrupted him: "Xingjing is suppressing Chaofan. Even if the monks around them have the intention, it is not easy to take action rashly. After all, the roots of their Taoist temple are here. They cannot give up their foundation and leave their hometown just to take action temporarily." Bar."

"That's right, I really didn't expect it," Dai Guo thought for a while and felt that it made sense. "But since Xingjing is so dangerous, why open the Taoist temple here?"

Among the two elders of Jinwu, the old man who called himself Jin Zuo sneered: "In the capital city of the country, the tiger is sitting on the dragon's plate. This luck and cause and effect are not comparable to other places. The growth of the cultivation level is also stronger when breathing clouds and mist here." It’s even comparable to some caves in other places.”

The other Jin You looked at Qiu Yan and remained silent, as if waiting for something.

Next to him, Hu Qi frowned after flipping through a few books: ""Yanming Lu", "Preaching Collection", "Daoshu", "Wuzhen Chapter"..." He reported the titles of the books at hand one by one. Out, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

Finally, Hu Qi looked at Qiu Yan and said with a worried tone: "Master, you are now an official of the imperial court. The imperial court is very taboo on people from outside the country. If anyone knows that you put these Taoist books in the study, I am afraid there will be someone. Hidden danger.”

Jin Zuo also interjected: "Boy Qiu, don't blame me for not reminding you. You asked the two of me to go to the Taoist temple to copy books, and now we have copied them. However, these books do not contain magical methods or exercises. They are all secret books passed down from generation to generation. Even if they are from the same Taoist sect, they cannot easily see them. Some Taoist temples even pass them on by word of mouth, let alone copy them for outsiders to see. "

Qiu Yan waved his hand and said: "Qiu naturally knows these, there is no need to say more."

"That's good," Jin Zuo narrowed his eyes slightly, and then said, "Since you know this, it's the best. It's just a promise. Can it still be fulfilled?"

"Of course," Qiu Yan nodded, "According to what was said that day, if you copy the book and put together an article of experience summarized by Qiu, you can leave at any time. I will definitely take back the restriction and will never stop you. "

"What?" After hearing this, Hu Qi and Dai Guo were shocked at the same time. The latter almost jumped up on the spot, which was obviously unexpected.

Even the two elders of Jinwu were a little shocked when they heard Qiu Yan's straightforward answer. Although they had said it before, in their opinion, there must be something fishy in it, so they looked at each other and understood it tacitly.

Qiu Yan saw it, shook his head and said: "You don't have to wonder, the inheritance of the Golden Crow Dao must have some history. Even if you two are killed, there will definitely be others who want to seek revenge. If the hatred between you and me is not resolved, what will happen again?" Or if your sect is not completely exterminated, the matter will not be resolved. If so, what good will it do if I kill you?"

"Exterminate the Golden Crow? What a loud tone!" Jin Zuo sneered and whispered, "As for solving the grudges, it is even more impossible. You don't even look at your identity..."

"Again, the status is used as an excuse," Qiu Yan continued to shake his head, "Qiu first came into contact with Jinwu as a commoner, and then he was admitted to the imperial examination. Now he is an official of the imperial court. How can he look at it from the past?"

The two elders of Jinwu were silent, but there was fear in their eyes.

Qiu Yan then said: "A gentleman respects the virtuous and tolerates others. Even if you don't study, you should know this truth. There cannot be no contradictions between people. The characteristics of the human order are mutual tolerance. Extinction is This is your last choice, you should think about it carefully." After saying this, Qiu Yan tidied up and walked out of the room.

Hu Qi Shang was worried and felt that it would be too risky to visit the Taoist book in the study.

Qiu Yan comforted him and said: "When you are powerful, you can go free if you are guilty, but when you are losing power, you will be punished if you are not guilty. If you really get to that point, it will be difficult to escape without Taoist books in the study. How can you stop eating because of choking?" ?”

After saying this, he made a few more explanations, looked at the sky, and then went out to attend the banquet at Chen's house.

With Chen's reputation among the people in Xingjing, he easily found the place after asking a few people.

Turning around an alley, Qiu Yan saw the red-painted gate. There were four guards standing in front of the gate. From a distance, he could feel the powerful aura of the four people, like four pillars fixed in front of the gate.

With Qiu Yan's eyesight, even if he didn't walk in front of them, he still found traces of strength penetration from the postures of the four people.

"As worthy of being a big family in the capital, these four people are all very powerful people. They are considered to be good players in the world. But here, they can only guard the gates and protect the courtyards!"

Seeing Qiu Yan approaching, several nursing staff were immediately alert. When they saw his face clearly, they showed respect again, and one of them walked up.
