There was a commotion in the crowd, and the two women came and went in a hurry, which was really strange.
Ye Ling helped the noodle stall owner and his wife, and sent a few words to Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu immediately flew into the air, and his body became larger enough to lift several people.
Ye Ling and Xu Nuo walked up with the boss and his wife, and left the town sitting on Xiao Wu.
Cao Ji and the others wanted to catch up but couldn't catch up, so they had no choice but to give up. Little did they know that their lives would soon be over.
Xiao Wu flew far out of the town and just landed. The boss and his wife were in shock. Ye Ling said to them: "In order to prevent those people from retaliating, you can't stay there anymore. Find a place far away and start your life again!"
With that said, Ye Ling took out a few pieces of spiritual stones and handed them to the two of them. Spiritual stones are hard currency in the fairy world and are equally valuable in the mortal world.
The landlady just cried, and the boss sighed, accepted the spirit stone with great gratitude, and left with his wife.
It's exactly this: "When a sudden disaster strikes, the common people will suffer unbearable hardships. Fortunately, you have a noble person to help you. Who will care about others?"
After seeing off the unfortunate couple, Ye Ling turned around and said with a smile: "You two girls, thank you for your help."
As soon as he finished speaking, the two women, one pink and one black, appeared. It seemed that their cultivation levels were in the realm of immortality.
The woman in pink asked, "You are such a shameless person. You want to save people but you are so coy that you almost get bullied."
Ye Ling did not refute, but just laughed at himself: "The more things you have experienced, the more you have to look forward and backward. It's not as heroic as the two girls. It's just that you left in one blow, leaving the two of them behind, and it is inevitable that they will be hijacked for personal revenge. You need to think more carefully when doing things.”
The girl in pink blushed, and the woman in black sneered: "This little hoof can only save people, but it doesn't know that if you don't save people, you will kill them. But it doesn't matter, with my sister here, those scumbags won't survive today." late!"
Ye Ling frowned when he heard this: "Girl, are you going to kill someone?"
"Oh, I'll kill you when I meet you, why bother to make another trip?"
The woman in pink clothes said: "This old woman is cruel and ruthless. She just gave those four scholars a poisonous poison. She will not survive tonight."
"ah?"
Xiao Wu was very surprised, and Xu Nuo couldn't help but take a step back and looked at the two of them warily.
The woman in black snorted coldly: "If we hadn't made an agreement to have a temporary truce while we were out, I would have poisoned you right now!"
The woman in pink didn't let anyone let her go: "You're an old woman? We've been fighting for a thousand years and we still can't decide the winner. And now you're trying to steal my disciple from me. If it weren't for you, Xiaofan wouldn't have escaped."
"You fart! Wouldn't it be better if you handed Xiao Fan over to me earlier? It's all your fault, little brat!"
"old woman!"
"Little brat!"
Ye Ling raised his eyebrows slightly and looked a little tired when he saw the two of them: "Since we met by chance, we also have the same desire to help each other when encountering rough roads. We can be considered as kindred spirits. We have met in the mountains and rivers, so we say goodbye!"
After that, Ye Ling went straight to Kongcheng with Xu Nuo and Xiao Wu. He was now focused on saving Qing Yi and did not want to cause trouble.
The two women cursed each other for a while and then left.
At night, Ye Ling and the others spent their time meditating on the roof of a small town outside Kongcheng.
Early the next morning, the three set out again and finally arrived in Kongcheng.
But it can be seen: "The ancient city is majestic and majestic, and its culture is flourishing. Bluestone pavement leads to all directions, and the pavilions are antique. The academies are densely covered with stars, and the pavilions are magnificent. There are no white scholars coming and going, and they have written all their moral articles. Here, the ink is soaked in the wine fountain. Chapters and sentences, that place, is written freely on the high wall. The three religions and nine schools gather together, and all the schools of thought share it. The lineage of Confucius and Saints has been passed down to the present and ancient times, and the first line of Confucianism is the first corridor."
Ye Ling and the others walked towards the city wall. Xu Nuo suddenly pointed at the city wall and said, "Master, look, there are words on every brick on it."
Ye Ling looked up and saw words engraved on the bricks. Immediately afterwards, a mysterious meaning in the words came into his mind, which made him understand it carefully.
A student next to him heard Xu Nuo's surprised tone and sneered: "Ignorant, I don't even know this."
Xu Nuo was not angry after hearing this, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I'm just a study boy. I don't know many truths. Please give me some advice."
The student glanced at Ye Ling, who had his eyes closed and said nothing, and smiled proudly: "Every brick and stone in this Confucius City has an inscription from the sages and great scholars, and every word implies the great principles of heaven. It can be said that this Confucius City It is the incarnation of the great road, a city built with heavenly principles, and it deserves to be called the best city in the world!"
Xu Nuo nodded when he heard this, and before leaving, the student said lightly: "Seeing as you still have some wisdom, you should find a good teacher as soon as possible to avoid delaying your talent."
After Xu Nuo heard this, he glared angrily and said that he could still bear it, but that his master could not bear it anymore.
Xiao Wu even said: "If there weren't so many people here, I would kill him right now!"
Ye Ling happened to open his eyes and didn't care. He said with a smile: "Don't be reckless, let alone shout and kill easily. We are new here and we don't understand many things. We should listen more and watch more."
"Disciple, please remember this!"
"Come into town!"
There are nine gates on all four sides of Kongcheng, which is the most numerous. Generally, students come from the south and enter through the three south gates: Gewu Gate, Zhizhi Gate, and Chengyi Gate. Dianchu University.
At the three city gates, a checkpoint was set up at the moment. It is said that the checkpoint was set up because the Holy Spirit Cult and the demons might unite to invade.
What is checked at the city gate is the identity of the students. All Confucian disciples must enter the academy, and the academy will issue a name badge to prove their identity. Although this may still be impersonated by others, at least it looks like a serious check.
This is what happens when you do things on errands, and the appearance is often more satisfying than the actual results.
Fortunately, Ye Ling and Xu Nuo had the name cards that Hua Xinfeng had obtained for them, so they didn't have to worry about checking them.
I checked the name post at the city gate and entered the city smoothly. However, I saw that the streets were full of traffic, and the road was so wide that it actually seemed crowded. There are many shops on both sides, with constant hawking, and it is very lively.
There are regulations in Kongcheng that monks are not allowed to fly in the air. Only the head of the Kong family can fly in the spring and autumn chariot. Even other members of the Kong family cannot violate it.
Fortunately, there are Kuihu carts, Danhe carts and other tools for rent on the ground, which can satisfy the needs of traveling in the huge Confucius City.
Xu Nuo bought a lot of pastries and dried fish on the street. She and Xiao Wu ate with gusto and asked, "Master, where should we go?"
Ye Ling said: "Let's go to the Holy Dao Temple first. Maybe we can meet your uncle and the others."
Ye Ling and Xu Hong agreed that if they arrived in Kongcheng, they would contact each other through messenger talismans, but he has not received the news yet.
The Holy Temple is located in the center of Kongcheng, on a piece of suspended land, which can be seen from a distance.
In the mid-air in the center of Kong City, there is a cone-shaped piece of land suspended. It is said that this land was part of Buzhou Mountain back then. It was later acquired by Kong Sheng and moved here to open a dojo.
A large protective formation is arranged around the Holy Dao Temple. There is no access to the inside and outside. The only way to go up is from the teleportation array on the ground.
But today, students from all over the world gather together, and unless they have a special status, they have no chance to get a glimpse of the scenery of the Holy Academy.
When Ye Ling and the other three arrived at the ground, countless students had gathered and were sitting on the ground, talking about the past and the present, and it was very lively.
Xu Nuo asked: "Master, it seems we can't get up based on our name cards!"
Ye Ling nodded slightly, thinking about countermeasures. Not long after, someone in the crowd was dissatisfied: "We have come all the way to worship, but we can't even see the holy statue. It's really unreasonable!"
"Exactly, we are also Confucian disciples, disciples of saints. Why can only the disciples of the Fourth Academy enter? Such a rule cannot convince the public!"
"Confucius said: There is no distinction without education. Today we are divided into three, six or nine grades. Are they born with the ability to read and write?"
The dissatisfaction among the crowd became more and more serious. Some people stood on a high place and started to shout loudly. More students gathered and headed towards the direction of the magic circle.
Since ancient times, local public discussions have been held in schools. If students unite to launch a movement, the momentum will be like a flood, and it will be out of control.
The disciples of the Holy Dao Academy who were guarding the magic circle changed their colors. While sending people back to the courtyard to ask for help, they stood up to block them, preventing them from forcing their way in.
During the pushing and shoving between the two sides, someone fell to the ground and was almost trampled to death.
At this time, several old men came up to the magic circle. They were great scholars from the Celestial Realm of the Holy Academy, Fang Xiaoyong, Li Bojie, Cai Kai, and Sheng Tianhong.
Fang Xiaoyong has a thin figure, bright eyes, and a rhyme in his words, which is coercive: "Why are you making trouble?"
One sentence silenced everyone, and a student stepped forward and said, "May I ask, sir, are we, the scholars, disciples of Confucius? Why are we not allowed to pay homage to today's grand gathering? Are your four houses so arrogant?"
The faces of the four great Confucians were not good-looking. Cai Kai said: "You only read the books of the sages and don't ask about things outside the window. Recently, the Holy Spirit Cult and the demon clan have secretly colluded to intentionally ruin our Confucian event. If they get involved in it, the consequences will be disastrous. Wait. Why don’t you have a kind heart to help us take precautions?”
Another student spoke up: "We are all well-known students in the academy, so how can we become foreign enemies? Is it possible that sir, because of choking, he will stop eating and stop us from studying and progressing on the holy path?"
"Please open the magic circle and we will pay homage to the holy statue!"
All the students shouted in unison, and the momentum was so loud that it directly overshadowed the momentum of the four great Confucians.
The four of them looked at each other, feeling a little at a loss for a moment. But I didn't expect a voice to come from the Holy Temple: "Since you are pretentious, if you don't do it, just leave the writing. The Holy Temple has its own talent. If you see beautiful articles and elegant words, it will automatically trigger visions. That's it." Please admit him to the hospital!"
Although this move still has the meaning of discrimination, it can stop Youyou's mouth. It's not that the Holy Academy refuses to enter, but that the students are not good at studying.
Soon, there were disciples writing poems, poems, prose, or couplets in public, but none of them caught the eye of the talent of the Holy Academy.
Xu Nuo was puzzled and asked: "Master, what is the talent of the Holy Academy?"
Ye Ling said: "Confucian cultivation is different from Buddhism. There is spiritual energy between heaven and earth. The spiritual energy enters the body and gives rise to all kinds of fantastic ideas. Confucianism calls it talent. The more scholars integrate the power of Taoism, the more talented they will be. It will not dissipate in the future, and will continue to remain in its statues or tablets. Therefore, academies and palaces in various places will have pantheons to worship the sages of the past generations."
"Then what does it mean to be able to have visions triggered by articles?"
"After death, the soul should return to the underworld and no longer exist in this world. However, the Confucian sages are slightly different. Their will will remain in the talents they left behind. If they can write good articles, they can stir up the will of the sages. This is the meaning of what was said in the Holy Court just now."
After hearing this, Xiao Wu said disdainfully: "To put it this way, these talents are really useless. There are so many people who can't write a good article. No wonder people don't want to see them."
Ye Ling smiled bitterly and said: "How can such an article be so simple? This is obviously a deliberate attempt to make things difficult. Besides, even a disciple of the Fourth Academy of Confucianism might not be able to write it for a while."
"What should we do? Can't we save Sister Qingyi?"
"I just have to give it a try."
Ye Ling got paper and pen from nowhere and fell into thinking...
