"Hahaha!"

After hearing Qiu Yan's words, the ancestor of the Chen family was stunned for a moment, and then he actually laughed.

After a while, he calmed down his smile and said: "It's interesting, but don't underestimate that Jiuyun. This person and Zhou Dongyi studied under the same person. Later, he became independent and started a family. He came to Guanzhong alone and spent decades. It takes time to establish a foundation, maintain order, and spread your reputation widely. People respect great scholars and are difficult to deal with. "

He glanced at Qiu Yan: "Although you have made your thoughts consistent with an order, you have added the aura of swordsmanship. You treat it as a military order, not Confucianism, which is not conducive to discussing Taoism. Besides, you are not popular enough, so don't It is said that it is famous all over the world, and it cannot even cover Guanzhong. At most, it has some foundation in Jiannan, and there is no study, academy and other foundations to support it. After all, the confidence is not enough. "

"This time, the leader of Jiuyun Village united with several great scholars in Guanzhong. Even a dabbler like me accepted the invitation. It said that he wanted to test your knowledge, but it also hinted that you are disrespectful, arrogant, and chaotic. Knowing the difference between etiquette and law, it is not difficult to make others hate you with his sharp tongue. You must know that this person's words are terrible, and sometimes he is even more powerful!"

Speaking of this, the ancestor of the Chen family narrowed his eyes: "Speaking of it, he behaves like this, it seems that he has a deep hatred for you. Do you know the reason behind it? If you don't understand this, you won't clear up the misunderstanding. This time we will discuss Taoism. , it will be a Hongmen Banquet. If you use the military order to argue against the Confucian order, even if you can win, you may become the enemy of Confucianism!"

Qiu Yan pondered for a moment, and after a few breaths, he replied: "Qiu really didn't expect that the dispute over reputation and factionalism would be so fierce, but now that Qiu is on his head, he naturally can't retreat. Even if it’s a Hongmen Banquet, it doesn’t matter.”

"Don't underestimate the enemy," the ancestor of the Chen family grinned. "In the past, you were not of sufficient status, so you could only compete with Confucian scholars for fame. Principles can determine the outcome, but this dispute of opinions is not that simple. No matter when, among literati, The challenges will not disappear. If you don’t talk about others, let’s talk about you, Qiu Yan. Will you admit that your own theories and principles are not as good as others?”

Qiu Yan nodded and said: "Although Qiu's ideas and theories are in their infancy, they embody many factors. If they can be spread to the world, I will ask myself that it will be of great help to humanity."

"That's right. You summarized your theory from the bottom of your heart. Are other people's theories and knowledge just blown by the strong wind? Should I immediately feel inferior after hearing your name and waste all my life's efforts? No. That’s right!”

"You have also been challenged by scholars. You should know that they are not stupid people who can't see the situation clearly and don't know how to advance or retreat. They have clear minds and no one will demean themselves for no reason. Even if he is a slave, what he wants is not to bow his head or bow down. The eyebrows are lowered, but it is the benefits and benefits that can be obtained after doing so. Therefore, if someone makes trouble for no reason, 90% of the time it is because you have the things or names that the other party needs. "

As the ancestor of the Chen family spoke, there was sleepiness in his eyes. His body tilted slightly and he lay down, but he kept saying to himself: "In the future, as your status becomes higher and more influential, the bloody storms among this school will become more and more, like a whirlpool. No matter how hard it is to escape, , However, if you don’t go this time, you might be able to avoid the tedium and concentrate on one thing.” Afterwards, the meaning of the warning and guidance was already clear.

What he said before was to make Qiu Yan aware of the origin of this doctrinal dispute and to hint at its intensity.

Slashing with a clear sword can exterminate lives, but fighting for doctrines only ends in ruin and ruin. The winner's reputation will be passed down through the ages, while the loser will fall into the abyss. Even his life's hard work has been transferred to make a wedding dress for others and fulfill others' names. .

Anyone who can figure out the mystery inside will feel cold in their hearts.

However, Qiu Yan did not hesitate at all and replied: "The dispute over doctrines is related to reputation, but the doctrines and propositions themselves are not for reputation. My discussion with the master of Jiuyunzhai was not to suppress him, but to suppress him. You have to listen to his opinions and learn from each other. Even if your reputation is ruined, it doesn't matter. If he thinks my ideas are good and wants to take them, then let him. Since it has been confirmed by others, there is no need to be afraid of being imitated. "

"Oh?" The Chen family ancestor's eyes were full of sleepiness, but he still stared at Qiu Yan's eyes with his sleepy eyes wide open, as if to find out his true thoughts through his eyes.

After a few breaths, he shook his head and sighed: "I can't tell whether your words are sincere or false, but being able to say these words shows that you have thought this way before. I can't persuade you anymore. I hope you won’t be silent after this incident. I will still need your help after some time.”

"As long as we can, the juniors should help, but I still hope that the seniors can tell me the exact time."

"It doesn't matter what I said. It depends on the timing. It may take one or two years, or it may take one or two hundred years. How can a moment last forever?" As the ancestor of the Chen family said, he lay down and closed his eyes.

The room suddenly became quiet, and not long after, snoring began. The ancestor of the Chen family was sleeping soundly, and the atmosphere was weird.

Qiu Yan shook his head and turned to leave. Suddenly, a strange airflow flowed out from the ancestor's mouth, nose and ears. When he turned in the air, the surrounding scene suddenly became distorted, like a dream.

Facing the familiar scene, Qiu Yan took a closer look and saw that the surrounding dreams suddenly dispersed, and his people had arrived outside the courtyard.

"Huh?" The next moment, Qiu Yan noticed that his soul was condensed a lot, and the golden elixir in his belly became more and more solid.

"I wonder what state the ancestor of the Chen family is in, and what the origin of this magical ability to avoid the suppression of dragon energy is."

While he was thinking about it, Chen Bozheng had already walked over to Qiu Yan and said, "Mr. Qiu, the dinner is ready. Please come with me."

Qiu Yan nodded and let him pass.

At this dinner, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves. After the banquet, Chen Bozheng asked Chen Jing and Chen Yun to see off Qiu Yan.

After the three people left the Chen Mansion, Chen Jing breathed a sigh of relief.

"I finally came out. Every time I come back, I feel uncomfortable."

The two of them didn't mention a word about Qiu Yan's encounter in the yard, and Qiu Yan didn't say much. He just remembered something and asked, "Brother Chen, what did you want to say before?"

When Chen Jing heard this, he did not answer directly, but said: "Speaking of which, you and I are talking about being friends as equals, which made my uncle unhappy, but he gave me a good lesson."

"Why bother with these little details?" Qiu Yan shook his head and didn't care.

Chen Jing did not argue, and then replied: "Brother Qiu, do you still remember Xi Muyuan from Jiuyuan Academy?"

"Xi Muyuan? Of course you remember." Qiu Yan nodded as soon as the name came out of Chen Jing's mouth. When the causal lines were drawn together, he had a clear understanding in his heart. The events of the past few days were like pieces of a puzzle, originally floating in his mind, but now they were all connected by this name.

"Just remember, this person is dead!" Chen Jing said this. After a pause, he wanted to see Qiu Yan's reaction, but he was a little disappointed——

Qiu Yan's face was calm, showing no signs of abnormality.

Chen Yun's voice came from the side: "Brother Jing, I have told you a long time ago that Mr. Qiu's mind is as firm as a mountain. It will not be shaken by external things. You should explain the matter clearly."

Chen Jing laughed at himself and without refuting, he told Xi Muyuan in detail how he learned that Qiu Yan had died from vomiting blood after winning the first prize. Then he also told the story about Xi Muyuan's great achievements in Shilin and the favors he gained from many academies in Dongdu. . It was also revealed.

"According to what you said, Xi Muyuan just heard the news and couldn't bear it? He shouldn't be so narrow-minded, right?" Qiu Yan frowned. He had long been worried about Xi Muyuan's original provocation, but he didn't expect it. The other party failed to let go and caused such a disaster, and according to Chen Jing's statement. He had also vomited blood twice before because of himself.

"You can't blame Xi Muyuan. He was very popular at the beginning, but he was suddenly defeated by you. How could he be willing to accept it? I won't talk about these matters of anger, but Brother Qiu also understands. Besides, he vomited blood twice before, which already hurt his vitality. , and later his soul entered Shilin..."

As he spoke, Chen Jing also sighed.

"Not long ago. Xi Muyuan had sex only once. The interval between the two times was too short. The Shilin aura inevitably invaded the soul and made the mind exhausted. But on the way to the west, I encountered an evil spirit and fell into an illusion. Afterwards, Xi Muyuan He is already seriously ill, and your title of No. 1 Scholar is just the straw that breaks the camel's back. This is also his bad luck. "

Then, he changed the topic: "However, after this matter spread, his nominal master uncle, the master of Jiuyun Zhai, frequently asked about it, and even took the initiative to invite An Jin. I don't know what he said."

"It's good luck..." Qiu Yan shook his head, feeling regretful. Although Xi Muyuan was narrow-minded, his knowledge was solid. It was not easy to get to where he is now. He also worked hard and was looked down upon by such a person. As a rival, Qiu Yan was not angry. How could he not have a rival in this world?

If you don't make people jealous, you are mediocre.

As he thought about it, Li Gua shook his body, and pictures came to mind, making many things suddenly become clear to him.

"Xi Muyuan...Oizhou Yaoxie...Zhou Dongyi...Master of Jiuyun Zhai...Lun Tao...Hanlin Academy...Black Hand...Tian Youqing..."

These incidents, one after another, slowly converged, like several small streams flowing into a big river. Not only did the development of the incident become clear quickly, but it also revealed various possibilities for the future.

This divination is mysterious, but one thing is very clear - the more you know about the situation, the higher the accuracy will be. Now that you know the cause and effect, and have faith in the people, Qiu Yan is more confident about the cause and effect. , it became much clearer immediately, and I could grasp the general idea. A sudden thought occurred in my mind, and my steps suddenly changed. I no longer walked towards my own yard, but towards the outer city.

Such changes made Chen Jing and Chen Yun puzzled.

"Brother Qiu, where are you going?"

Qiu Yan looked back at the two of them and said, "Go to the Jiuyun Study Room and have a look. The master of the Jiuyun Study Room only talked about Taoism and did not agree on a time. He just said that if you have any questions, you can go to the study room to ask. Then you might as well go and see him today." On the one hand, to confirm his or her intentions, it is impossible for everyone to be a fan of Ma Libing, but I am still speculating on his intentions. "
