The crooked word says: "
Copy, compare, trace. Learn more and scrutinize less. Draw a tiger from a tiger, and a cat from a cat. If you do deception in Yin, you will have a high reputation as a thief in Yang. Nestlé was taken over by the doves, so why bother to demolish the bridge across the river? Since there is no trick in imitation, paying homage is the trick. "
Among the students, Ye Ling had a pen and paper in his hand and started to formulate ideas.
Xiao Wu couldn't help but ask Xu Nuo: "Master, does he know how to behave like a scholar?"
Xu Nuo shook his head. He didn't know whether Ye Ling had literary talent.
After all, Ye Ling was a man in two lifetimes. He had memorized quite a few articles in his previous life, but there were not many that he could memorize.
"There are a lot of articles in the world. Seniors, even if this kid accuses me, I just use them for my own use. I think you won't mind."
Ye Ling comforted himself so shamelessly, as if he had received an approved response just as he said.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Ling took up his pen and wrote two lines of words.
Xu Nuo looked on and read: "There is a road to the mountain of books, and diligence is the path, and there is no limit to the sea of learning, and hard work is the boat."
As the last stroke fell, suddenly, a golden light flashed across the Holy Court, and then the paper in Ye Ling's hand flew up, and the words on it were condensed by talent and suspended in the air.
"This...this is..."
All the students were surprised, even the four great Confucians found it incredible.
Then the two lines of text flew to the door of the Holy Courtyard and turned into couplets and were embedded on them!
"This is the couplet chosen by the Holy Court itself!"
"Quick, go tell the teachers and dean!"
"It's amazing, who did this?"
"There are roads in the mountain of books, and hard work is the path; there is no limit to the sea of learning, and hard work is the boat."
The students all read the meaning of this couplet. Although these two sentences are easy to understand, they explain the principles of learning. There is no end to learning, and there is no shortcut, only down-to-earth.
After thinking about it carefully, some of the students felt admiration.
The eyes of the four great scholars fell on Ye Ling with scrutinizing expressions. Cai Kai asked: "This student, where are you from and what is your last name?"
Ye Ling stepped forward and bowed his hands: "I, Li Fu, am a disciple of Guang'an Academy in the Eastern Region."
"Guang'an Academy?"
This Guang'an Academy is unknown. Although it is registered with the Holy Academy, it is not large in scale, and no disciples will come to the Central Territory. That's why Hua Xinfeng obtained such an identity.
Ye Ling's appearance has not changed much, but these four scholars have never seen Ye Ling, so they don't recognize him.
Fang Xiaoyong beside him said with a smile: "I never expected that there are talents like you outside the Fourth Hospital. Since you have an appointment in advance, you can go to the hospital!"
"yes!"
Ye Ling bowed his hands, stepped onto the magic circle with his promise, and ascended to the suspended earth.
The remaining students racked their brains, but still could not write an article that would be valued by the sages.
"Master, you are so powerful. If you had become a Confucian, wouldn't you be a great Confucian now?"
Xu Nuo looked at Ye Ling with starry eyes, and her respect for Ye Ling reached a new level.
But Ye Ling smiled bitterly: "This is all forced, it cannot be taken seriously."
Ye Ling was too embarrassed to say that he had copied the couplet, so he could only explain it like this. Besides, no one would listen to his explanation. After all, in this world, this couplet has not yet appeared.
The light beam dissipated, and Ye Ling and the others looked at the scenery in front of them, but all they saw was: "The flowing smoke is full of colors, and the brilliance is shaking. Towering ancient pines, thousands of branches and bamboos. The winding Jinhe River has clear water, and the mountain walls are tall and green. . The old ape hangs on a branch and the plum deer appears, and the green luan dances and the phoenix soars in the sky. The sun and moon hang on the lintel of a door, and two bluestones build a high wall. There are countless Qionghuayao grass outside the door, and ancient theories and modern recitations are recited loudly inside the door. Confucian scholars come and go frequently, and it is difficult to hide the white people who advance or retreat. The pavilions are filled with scrolls from all over the world, and chapters of benevolence and righteousness are written in pen and ink. It is the birthplace of the sage's establishment of the religion, and the first Wen sect in the world."
This piece of suspended land looks huge, with beautiful mountains and rivers, picturesque and poetic. Moreover, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is very rich and very suitable for cultivation.
Walking along the road paved with bluestones, you will be overwhelmed by pines, cypresses, bamboos, willows, lotuses, plums, orchids and chrysanthemums. Well deserved
The three of them arrived at the gate of the Holy Academy. The couplets written by Ye Ling just now were engraved on both sides of the gate. A group of students were gathering in front of the gate to discuss.
When Ye Ling saw him, he took Xu Nuo and hid in the bamboo forest. Now he was on this suspended land, which was full of disciples and teachers from the Fourth Confucian Academy. If he showed up rashly, he would be recognized and it would be difficult to save him.
So he took Xu Nuo and Xiao Wu to temporarily hide in a quiet bamboo forest, waiting for the opportunity.
The night has changed, and no one has climbed onto this suspended land.
But Ye Ling, who was supposed to appear, was nowhere to be found, which made several great scholars at the Holy Academy feel a little strange. They sent disciples to search outside the Holy Academy. However, with Ye Ling's current cultivation level, it was still difficult to hide in front of these disciples. It wasn't difficult, so they searched a lot but couldn't find any trace of Ye Ling.
In this way, they had no choice but to give up. Tomorrow is a holy day, and the disciples still have many things to be busy with, so they can no longer be distracted by this matter.
A full moon hung high in the sky, and a faint mist appeared in the bamboo forest. Xu Nuo and Xiao Wu Jin were meditating, and did not realize that Ye Ling had quietly left.
The Holy Temple is located in the center of the suspended continent. It is a square shape with high walls. The courtyard guarding formation outside protects the entire suspended land, so the courtyard guarding formation inside is not open on weekdays, which allows Ye Ling to enter it smoothly.
Inside the high walls, there is even more luxury: "Red painted beams and jade pillars, wing eaves leading to the corridor. Under the corridor, the mirror lake reflects the moon, and koi fish swim around in silver. The sages are worshiped in the incense temple, and the holy tablets are set up in rows. Look at the school building again The Jade Palace is a scene of luxury.”
Ye Ling has seen many prosperous places, but the current architectural furnishings of the Holy Temple are only comparable to those of the East China Sea Dragon Palace. Even the Red Sleeve Academy pales in comparison in front of it.
The entrance to the Holy Temple is a large lake with a cloister for people to walk and watch fish. Further forward is the Panthéon, which enshrines the tablets of sages from past generations.
After another door, there is the Holy Dao Temple. The pavilions and jade halls on both sides are the study buildings and dormitories. The Garden Villa Building in front is where the teachers and great Confucians in the courtyard live. Some descendants of the Confucius family also live here.
In the central hall of the entire Holy Temple, the statue of Confucius is enshrined. The large square in front of the statue is where tomorrow's ceremony will be held.
The square is brightly lit at the moment, and the disciples of the Holy Academy are still making arrangements. Compared with previous years, the scale of this year's Holy Meeting is larger. It is said that the Fourth Academy of Confucianism takes this opportunity to convene the world to discuss important matters. .
But I saw a few disciples carrying a cage covered with cloth on a newly built high platform in the square.
After putting it away, a disciple asked: "What is in this cage?"
Another said: "You don't know, there is a female disciple here from Red Sleeve Academy. I heard that tomorrow I will give birth to a girl in front of everyone in the world..."
As he spoke, he made a beheading gesture.
"Ah? Why is that?"
"I heard it has something to do with Ye Ling, who is wanted by the three religions."
"Ye Ling? It's him again. I've heard from him almost every year in the past few years. I really don't know if he is a human being or not. How can he be so troublesome?"
"Stop talking, this is not something we should consider. I'm really exhausted today. I have to go back and take a rest. I have to get up early tomorrow, so I probably won't be able to sleep for long."
"Wait, I want to see the woman in this cage."
"Don't cause trouble, or you will cause me to be punished together with you."
"Don't worry, I'll just see what happens?"
As he spoke, the disciple lifted up the cover. There was a woman sitting on her knees in the cage. Her wrists were shackled with shackles and were already stained with blood. Looking at her appearance, although her hair was messy, her eyes were bright. With her white teeth and resolute eyes, she is truly a beauty:
"Tranquil floating clouds and clear snow, spring waves shining through the thin morning sky. The hibiscus blooms against the frost marks of the moon, and shines through the river, singing songs of regret.
The ice strands condense in the wind and lead to the dew, and the jade clouds pile up with sorrow to hurt the spirit. Qifang is suitable for refreshing willows with spring, and the beauty covers the depression of cherry blossoms. "
The two disciples were stunned and remained motionless for a moment.
This woman is the grown-up Qing Yi. When Ye Ling sent her to Red Sleeve Academy to study, she was quite talented. In just a few years, she had reached the level of Qingyou Realm.
, the appreciation of several teachers.
But among the crowd, those who are jealous of the wise and capable cannot be killed and killed, and there are always those who hate him. Even if he tolerates it temporarily, he will eventually harm Qing Yi.
Later, Ye Ling was wanted by the three religions, and all the disciples of Red Sleeve Academy cursed Ye Ling. Du Qingyi argued with them on behalf of Ye Ling, and finally gave those who were interested a chance.
These disciples learned about the relationship between Qing Yi and Ye Ling and reported it to the academy. However, the relationship between Qing Yi and Ye Ling was well known to the headmaster of Red Sleeve Academy, Suga Hongye, so naturally there would be no punishment.
Unexpectedly, these disciples insisted on putting Qing Yi to death and revealed the matter to Taiyuan Daozong. When Taiyuan Daozong learned about it, he was furious and immediately united with Shengdao Academy and Jixia Academy to put pressure on Red Sleeve Academy. .
Suga Hongye had no choice but to hand over Qing Yi. At least she was saved from being tortured, but she still wanted to be executed on the holy day in front of the Confucian disciples all over the world as a warning.
Qing Yi's cultivation level was now sealed and her mute acupuncture point was tapped, but her eyes remained the same.
She did not regret what she had done. No one could insult her brother Ye Ling. Even if he died, she would still fight.
The two disciples looked at it for a long time before covering it with the cloth again: "What a pity for such a beautiful person."
"Stop thinking nonsense, you can't catch it anyway, so hurry up and leave!"
After the two disciples left, the people in the square gradually dispersed, and silence returned.
Not long after, a dark shadow appeared, it was Ye Ling.
Ye Ling looked at the cage in front of him, trembling all over, and his sharp edge was rising almost uncontrollably.
Filled with anger, Ye Ling wanted to know how he could hold back his anger, but soon a voice came, which frightened him.
"Don't touch that cage. There are restrictions on it. If you touch it, she will die."
Ye Ling suddenly turned his head and saw not far away, the headmaster of Red Sleeve Academy, Jian Hongye, was standing there with no emotion on his face.
Ye Ling looked at her coldly and suppressed his anger: "Sending this girl to Red Sleeve Academy was probably the thing I regretted the most in my life."
"But it's too late for you to regret it now."
"I don't understand. Back then you kept saying that you would accept Xiaobao as your disciple, but now you let your disciple be locked in this cage. Do you deserve to call yourself a disciple of a saint who studies? Where have you read Confucius's books?"
"But Qingyi is not locked up because of me, but because of you! Before you did something, did you ever think about whether it would bring disaster to her? She is now in this situation, and you are the culprit!"
Suga Hongye's words made Ye Ling a little shaken, but then he said seriously: "I didn't harm anyone, it was you sanctimonious hypocrites who harmed others. What a villain! The world is so big that there is no place for us. ? Since the world cannot tolerate it, we will conquer a piece of the sky and a piece of the earth!"
As he spoke, Ye Ling lifted up the cloth on the cage. Listening to Ye Ling's voice, Qing Yi finally saw the person he had longed for again. For a moment, he was speechless and extremely anxious.
Ye Ling just looked at her with soft eyes: "Girl, I'm late."
Qing Yi, who has always been firm in faith, finally couldn't help but shed two lines of tears when she heard this...
