When Li Guanxuan was outside Shushan, Little Orange had already sensed it.
It ran outside happily, fearing that Li Guanxuan would pass by Shushan the next second.
When Li Guanxuan came to the mountain gate of Wuhui Academy, he could clearly feel that the concentration of spiritual energy here was higher than in other places.
In addition, perhaps because Wuhui Academy is a holy place for many scholars, the talent and literary culture here is quite strong, and elegantly dressed talents and beauties can be seen everywhere.
"Master Li, welcome."
At this time, Qiu Li, a girl wearing a plum blossom dress and a pair of dimples when she smiled, appeared in front of Li Guanxuan out of thin air.
She is still as cute as a fairy, with a pure temperament mixed with a hint of charm that can make people fall in love.
Li Guanxuan was stunned for a moment: "Miss Qiuli? How did you know I would come here?"
"The old dean asked me to come and pick you up." Qiu Li smiled, and after greeting Li Guanxuan, she greeted Song Zhiqiao and Li Zhong.
Especially facing Li Zhong, there was a trace of fear hidden in Qiu Li's bright and clear eyes.
A great eunuch like Li Zhong is intimidating and fearful, whether inside or outside the court.
Hearing Qiu Li's words, Li Guanxuan's heart became obviously heavy.
Li Zhong seemed to feel something. He stepped forward and bowed, lowering his voice and said: "Don't worry, sir. Although this old guy pretends to be confused, he is smarter than anyone else in some things. With this old slave by your side, he will I won’t do anything to you, and I don’t dare or cannot do anything to you.”
Li Zhong understood Li Guanxuan's character, and his son was more stable than anyone else.
More than ten years ago, he had already announced that he would come to Wuhui Academy to study Confucianism and cultivate his mind. However, he had to put it off for many years and also arranged many ways to retreat.
In terms of stability, there is probably no one in the world who can compare with him.
"good."
Li Guanxuan nodded slightly and said with a smile, "I'd like to ask Miss Qiu to lead the way."
"Excuse me, Fellow Daoist Qiu. Fellow Daoist Qiu is really a kind-hearted person. He can take time out of his busy schedule to receive us." Song Zhiqiao said with a smile.
Li Guanxuan heard the underlying meaning of Xiao Green Tea's words.
Qiu Li was the Golden Elixir Dzogchen more than ten years ago, and she is still the Golden Elixir Dzogchen now.
Logically speaking, after Qiu Li met the Painting Sage and studied with the Confucian Sage, he had already had the opportunity to attack the Nascent Soul. Why hasn't he made a breakthrough?
Maybe you are in trouble and need help.
Li Guanxuan fell into deep thought. Although his cultivation was now at the Golden Elixir Great Perfection, he had added a layer of shielding heavenly secrets, so outsiders could only sense that he was at the late stage of the Golden Elixir.
As Qiu Li, who has perfected the golden elixir, what kind of help does she need from him?
Qiu Li only met him twice.
Once on the banks of the Mo River, and once in the Su Mansion.
Is it a curse?
After all, during these two meetings, Qiu Li could guess to some extent that he helped the painting saint Su Daofu resolve the curse in Mozhou.
Li Guanxuan was a little confused. Could it be that there was also a curse in Daliang?
"No, no, as a student of Wuhui Academy, I should share the worries of the old dean."
Qiu Li smiled and said: "And in Wuhui Academy, I am the only one who knows you two, so I should be the one to welcome you two."
"Who said that? We also know each other in Wuhui Academy...Monkey."
Song Zhiqiao said with a smile, and then saw the little orange that turned into golden light, and subconsciously reached out to hug the little fat monkey.
Unexpectedly...
"Li Guanxuan, are you here to save me?!"
Little Orange climbed onto Li Guanxuan's shoulder with ease, and stretched out his big round head. His face was full of a happy smile, and his eyes with different colors of gold on the left and blue on the right were bent with laughter.
Song Zhiqiao's face darkened: "Yes, if I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come."
Little Orange was stunned for a moment, but it was quite intelligent and immediately jumped onto Song Zhiqiao's hand and rubbed her hand with its big head.
"I didn't pay attention, hehe... I didn't pay attention."
Xiao Juzi smiled apologetically, then looked at Li Zhong, extremely happy: "Li Guanxuan, you really brought someone to save me!"
The bronze sword furnace also flew over at this moment, shrunk silently, and hung on Song Zhiqiao's waist, acting as a pendant.
It knows very well that if it wants to be free, it must behave like a trinket.
Otherwise, it will never be able to leave Wugui Academy.
"Don't talk about help. It's nonsense. You just came to Wuhui Academy to study for more than ten years. After you finish your studies, you will naturally go home." Li Guanxuan said with a smile.
"Ah, yes, yes..."
Little Orange reacted immediately and nodded his big head hurriedly.
Qiu Li looked at the warm scene in front of her and couldn't help but feel a little envious. She could see that Li Guanxuan really treated Xiao Juzi as a family member.
In addition, the eunuch Li Zhong, who has always been ruthless and ruthless, showed a kind and kind smile for the first time.
…
Soon, when Xiao Juzi heard that Li Guanxuan was going to find the old dean, he suddenly became sad.
It really didn't want to go to the bamboo forest.
But it could only listen to Li Guanxuan's words and lead the way obediently.
Along the way, Little Orange talked about his sad experiences over the years.
"I really don't like studying, and I don't like staying here at Wugui Academy at all."
"Especially that Mr. Yan, he stares at me all day long. As long as I see him, he will take me to study!"
"There are many, many wives, and they are all so annoying..."
"..."
Li Guanxuan also listened all the way, smiled and rubbed its big head, and said: "It's okay. If you have a chance in the future, you can catch them and practice martial arts."
"Li Zhong can beat them, let Li Zhong catch them to box and practice martial arts!" Xiao Juzi immediately came up with an idea.
Li Zhongze asked from behind: "Master, I have written down the names of these masters, do you want to..."
Li Guanxuan waved his hand and interrupted: "Be calm, we are here to do business."
"Old slave understands."
Li Zhong immediately pretended that nothing happened.
Little Orange scratched his head and ears, feeling uncomfortable all over.
No one was angry about it.
Stepping into a bamboo forest, Li Guanxuan felt the changes in the world around him. In an instant, he saw a bamboo house. Even the pavilion was made of bamboo, highlighting an indifferent and elegant atmosphere.
An old man in commoner clothes was sitting in the pavilion playing chess with a warm smile on his face. His smiling eyes were crooked, and his eyes could not be seen, only two gaps could be seen.
The old man turned around and looked.
When Li Guanxuan met this gaze, his mind seemed to be hit, and his soul became clear, and all the troubles and frustrations disappeared instantly.
He was helping to cleanse my mind, and he was helping me invisibly... Li Guanxuan was secretly surprised.
Now, he may have enough confidence to face the inner demon calamity.
What kind of powerful person is the Confucian sage?
Just one look did him a lot of good.
"Have friends come from afar."
The old man chuckled.
The next second, Li Guanxuan and others appeared in the pavilion.
The old man stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Everyone, please take a seat."
Li Guanxuan, Song Zhiqiao, and Qiu Li all sat on the futon.
Li Zhong bowed slightly and stood beside Li Guanxuan, staring at the old man with cold eyes.
The little orange climbed up to the pavilion and hung dangling on it, but did not listen to the old man's words and sit down.
Both the man and the monkey were full of resentment towards the old man.
"It doesn't matter if you don't sit down."
The old man relieved himself of the embarrassment, looked at Li Guanxuan, and said with a smile: "You and I can talk about it?"
"I'll admit defeat." Li Guanxuan said without hesitation.
The old man sighed softly: "We haven't even started yet, why do we give up?"
"I have always been self-aware. If I knew I was going to lose, I would naturally admit defeat." Li Guanxuan said with a smile.
"It seems that my friend is still as stable as ever."
The old man said with a smile, and then added: "If you don't want to talk, let's make a pot of tea. I happen to be a little thirsty."
"no problem."
Li Guanxuan agreed and said with a smile: "My wife Song Zhiqiao has quite a lot of experience in tea art. The old man might as well try it and make some suggestions so that she can improve her tea art."
The old man smiled and said, "I want to drink the tea you brewed."
Li Zhong frowned and said, "Old man, do you believe that I demolished your bamboo garden?"
The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Qiu Li, who had never said a word, was sitting on pins and needles, looking at the two bosses, panicked.
"Why get angry? I just want to have a cup of tea." The old man said helplessly.
"You want to drink tea, right?"
Li Zhong waved his hand, and the tea leaves fell into the cup. Boiling water fell from the sky, boiling the tea leaves in an instant, and the cup floated in front of the old man.
Li Zhong said coldly: "The tea is ready, drink it."
Li Guanxuan said: "Li Zhong, don't be rude."
Hearing this, Li Zhong took a deep breath, bowed and said, "I know I was wrong."
Afterwards, Li Guanxuan reached out to take back the scalding cup. Regardless of whether the high temperature was scalding to his hands, he put it aside first, and then slowly began to scald the pot and place the tea... The movements were slow and not a very pleasing tea art.
"Li Zhong has a lot of complaints against the old man, so his attitude is not very good. I hope the old man will not blame you. I will apologize to you for him." Li Guanxuan apologized for Li Zhong.
"It's okay, I understand. I have never blamed him." The old man smiled, his eyes always watching Li Guanxuan's movements, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Li Guanxuan seemed to have noticed the old man's gaze, and said with an embarrassed smile: "At home, the housewife often makes tea. I just watched it for a long time and learned some superficial skills, but I will try my best to make tea." Make it well so as not to disturb the old gentleman's enjoyment."
"As long as the tea you brew is delicious, it will taste good." The old man said with a smile.
Li Guanxuan was slightly startled and looked up at the old man.
What does the Confucian sage mean by this sentence?
Does he think so highly of himself?
At this time, the old man waved his hand and said, "Qiu Li, please go out for a while."
As soon as the words fell, Qiu Li disappeared from the spot before she could speak.
Li Guanxuan sighed secretly, the Confucian cultivator's ability to follow the rules is really amazing.
"Brother, there was too much water..." Song Zhiqiao reminded in a low voice.
"oh oh……"
Li Guanxuan looked embarrassed.
But a harmless smile appeared on the old man's face.
After the tea was brewed, the old man couldn't wait to take the hot tea and sip it carefully.
"good."
The old man looked pleased and smiled broadly.
Li Guanxuan himself took a sip and shook his head helplessly.
Compared with Song Zhiqiao, his tea is slightly bitter and the tea aroma is relatively weak. It is a waste of the fine tea of the Confucian sage.
Song Zhiqiao took a sip, smiled and made no comment.
"You should try it too, so as not to waste it." Li Guanxuan picked up a cup of tea and handed it to Li Zhong.
Li Zhong quickly took it with both hands. After tasting the tea, he praised: "This is the best tea I have ever drunk."
"???"
Three question marks seemed to float over Li Guanxuan's head, as if to say: Is it necessary to brag like this?
This is too flattering!
After the old man drank the tea, he smiled and said: "Qiu Li is looking for you because he wants you to help solve the curse of Emperor Liang. Your power can purify all negative influences in the world, and only you can solve the curse of Emperor Liang."
Hearing the old man going straight to the point, Li Guanxuan's face became much more serious and asked: "Then do I need help?"
"It's up to you to weigh it yourself."
The old man pushed the tea cup over and gestured for another cup. "Whether you want to help or not depends on you, not me. Only when you have walked the road yourself can you know how to go."
"Been taught a lesson."
Li Guanxuan nodded slightly.
He knew very well that the old man was giving him instructions.
And that's exactly what happened.
If he needs help or guidance from others for everything, then his path to immortality is not being taken by himself, but by others helping him.
In this way, no matter how great his luck is, he will never be able to survive the inner demon tribulation.
Li Guanxuan's cultivation and physique are very strong, and his state of mind is perfect, but he knows best in his heart that he will definitely die if he encounters the inner demon tribulation.
This is a kind of premonition. With this premonition, it is impossible for him to attack Nascent Soul and seek death.
When I was not dependent on myself before, I was mentally tough, steadily rising, and felt that I would definitely be able to break through.
Now that he has dependence, although his mood is perfect, he does not have the same confidence as before when it comes to breaking through situations and encountering disasters.
Only when you have walked the road yourself can you know how to walk... Li Guanxuan lamented in his heart that when he encountered problems recently, he always wanted to ask others to help him, but he became slack and lazy.
The fighting spirit of the past is completely gone.
Losing fighting spirit means that it is difficult to be promoted and you will always be stuck in the same place.
This is an extremely horrific thing.
After Li Guanxuan realized something, he suddenly became enlightened.
He understood what his next path should be.
He can continue to develop, but when faced with something that should be fought for, he has to make all arrangements and follow up to fight for it, rather than fighting for nothing.
He has no shortage of resources, and all he needs now is luck.
"What do the old gentleman and the Holy Master want me to do by helping me like this?" Li Guanxuan asked.
"Protect the country."
The old man said calmly: "Everything we do is just to make Daheng stronger and immortal, to reunite the Dongsheng Continent, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and all immortal cultivators can be promoted."
"Not saving the world?" Li Guanxuan said in surprise.
"If Daheng is gone, what's the use of this world?" the old man said with a smile.
Li Guanxuan also smiled.
The Confucian sage thought the same as him.
If the world is really going to collapse, let it collapse.
He has no strength, doesn't make any struggle, just let everything happen and let nature take its course.
