The wind picked up in the afternoon, and a shower of petals floated from the inner courtyard to the main courtyard.
When the three meditators saw flowers flying all over the sky, they remembered that the chrysanthemums that Mr. Yu was drying in the inner courtyard were blown away by the wind.
The three of them got up and rushed to the inner courtyard to sweep the chrysanthemums away from the wind.
Then he went to clean up the flower petals scattered all over the academy.
Fasting is not a good thing, everyone is very hungry, and after all the exercise they are even more tired and out of breath.
Lu Yao and Yu Qingqing couldn't stand it anymore, so they went to the well to fetch water. Each of them drank three large bowls, and then they stopped meditating in the yard and went back to their dormitories to sleep.
Bai Song stayed in the courtyard and kept meditating. He didn't know what the specific use of it was, but he felt relatively stable.
After a while, the window of the small study room opposite Bai Song suddenly opened, and Yuan Tiangang waved to Bai Song inside.
Bai Song was startled, never knowing that Mr. Yuan was inside.
After a while, he walked into the study and saluted with his hands raised: "Sir, it turns out you are in the study."
"sit down."
Yuan Tiangang pointed to the futon opposite his desk.
Bai Song Yiyan sat cross-legged and saw an astrolabe placed on Yuan Tiangang's table. On the astrolabe, there was still the word "曌" written by Bai Song with a charcoal pen that night.
Bai Song frowned and pretended to be confused: "Sir, what does this mean?"
Yuan Tiangang shook his head and frowned: "This is a sign from heaven. I, Yuan Tiangang, have been studying it for several days, but I still can't understand its meaning."
"Sir, did you stay in the study just to study this word?"
Yuan Tiangang nodded with a serious expression.
Bai Song wanted to laugh when he saw it. This word was just what he heard Yuan Tiangang mutter "The moon is in the sky" when he was wandering in his mind. He didn't expect that the other party didn't know that he had written it casually.
Bai Song thought for a while and kindly reminded: "Sir, are you thinking too much? Maybe this word has no deep meaning at all?"
"Impossible! There is a bright moon in the sky. This word is foretelling. Not only does it foretell the world, but it may also foretell your destiny."
"I?"
Bai Song was stunned.
Yuan Tiangang stared at Bai Song seriously: "You are a very human being with a strange destiny. I have been practicing Taoism for twenty years and I have never seen a face like yours!"
"The sixteen-character criticism sir is referring to?"
Yuan Tiangang nodded while chanting: "The demon star came to the world, reversed the millennium, and the three generations of Li and Tang changed hands."
Bai Song also frowned: "Sir, are you worried that I will rebel and cause rebellion? I will overthrow Li Tang's rule?"
"This is the guidance of destiny, and there is no room for disbelief."
"I am just a layman, and I have never had any thoughts of rebellion." Bai Song explained calmly, "Maybe this criticism is correct, but the person who changed the world may not be referring to me."
Yuan Tiangang shook his head and sneered: "The reason why the world is so stupid is that you are so aware that you can control everything, but you don't know that your words and deeds have already been arranged in reincarnation."
Bai Song's expression was indifferent, but he was already impatient in his heart.
He doesn't believe in destiny, and even if such bizarre things as time travel happen to him, he still won't believe in destiny.
Everything Bai Song did was to allow himself to control his own destiny. If I believe these sixteen words of criticism, wouldn't it mean that everything he did was in vain?
It is true that Yuan Tiangang is a powerful person, but Bai Song hates seeing him look like he has seen through everything.
Bai Song was about to refute Yuan Tiangang's words, but saw Yuan Tiangang's eyes darken. There seemed to be a touch of softness in his seriousness, and his tone became much calmer: "Among the fifteen people in the academy, you are the only one whose temperament is most in line with Taoist teachings." , you are loyal to yourself, unique, neither arrogant nor impetuous, but neither humble nor arrogant. If it weren't for these sixteen words of criticism, I sincerely hope that you can become a Taoist, and I can teach you everything I have learned. Unfortunately... I have been thinking hard about this sign because I want to find a way to solve it for you. You are still young and I don’t want to see you enter a dead end without any relief."
Hearing Yuan Tiangang say this, Bai Song's annoyance suddenly dissipated, and he was a little surprised: "Sir, is this word "Sir, thinking hard" for me?"
Yuan Tiangang did not explain, but frowned.
If Master Xuanzang had said this, Bai Song might still have some doubts, but when it came from Yuan Tiangang's mouth, Bai Song had no doubt at all.
Because Yuan Tiangang doesn't seem like a person who would say wrong words against his will just because of this matter.
Bai Song then asked: "Sir, if you believe those sixteen words of criticism, wouldn't I be a rich and powerful person in the future? What should I worry about?"
"Hmph!" Yuan Tiangang sneered, "It's really ridiculous. Do you think you can change the day and the dynasty just by relying on these sixteen words of criticism? The greater your destiny, the greater the danger. If you want to achieve great things, who will not pay the price? A huge price? Destiny is yours, and disasters are yours. These sixteen words of criticism will not make you rich, but an invisible reminder that your life will be full of disasters. Only by overcoming countless Only through disaster can one achieve great wealth. You seem to have nothing to worry about in this academy, but you don't know that a disaster is approaching!"
Bai Song was confused when he heard: "Am I in danger of imminent disaster?"
Yuan Tiangang sighed: "It would be great if I was wrong."
After saying that, Yuan Tiangang stood up and pointed to the words on the astrolabe: "The appearance of this omen is not accidental, it should be related to your fate. If you meditate here and understand, maybe only you can see the mystery and gain something. "
Bai Song may not believe Yuan Tiangang's words, but he felt Yuan Tiangang's worry and was somewhat moved in his heart, so he nodded.
Yuan Tiangang frowned and opened the door to leave.
Bai Song asked: "Where are you going, sir?"
Yuan Tiangang replied: "Those two guys who are fasting are going to steal food right now. Pindao will catch them."
Bai Song looked at Yuan Tiangang's back and wondered, could it be that Yu Qingqing and Lu Yao really couldn't help but eat it secretly?
Thinking about it, I fell into a daze while looking at the words in front of me.
Bai Song didn't see any reason for it, and he didn't take Yuan Tiangang's words to heart.
After being stunned for a while, Bai Song was ready to leave the academy.
Today he will take Xu Peiran to see his father.
Mr. Liu from the Ministry of Punishment had already sent a message before. In the name of Bai Song's help several times, Bai Song could be accommodated and take advantage of the evening official shift change of the Ministry of Punishment to secretly watch Xu Xun for a quarter of an hour.
Bai Song looked at the sky and felt that it was almost time. He should meet Xu Peiran as soon as possible to avoid her being anxious.
Bai Song was about to leave when footsteps came from outside.
Bai Song originally thought that Mr. Yuan was back and was going to pretend to meditate for a while longer.
Bai Song had just sat upright when he heard Chang Sun Huan's voice coming from outside: "Mr. Yuan, you are inside!"
Changsun Huan?
Bai Song felt a little weird and didn't reply.
He then heard Chang Sun Huan continue to say outside: "Mr. Yuan, if the student knows you are inside, then the student will tell you directly. Everything Mr. Yuan said before is correct, and the student will know that he is a god. But the people in the college are helpless. The students didn't dare to take matters into their own hands because of their excessive talk, so they chose to come to the teacher for advice today when all the students were out having fun. Since the teacher knows the students' plight, he should also know how to resolve it. I am sure that Mr. Yuan can point out a clear way for the students. . In the past, my words have offended you a lot. Today, the student apologizes to you."
Changsun Huan was outside. He looked at the crack in the door and saw only half a Taoist robe behind the desk inside. He guessed it was Yuan Tiangang, so he kowtowed three times to the person.
To show his sincerity, Changsun Huan was more sincere than asking for his biological father. He made three "dong dong dong" sounds, and his forehead was already black and blue.
Changsun Huan finished kowtowing his head and was expecting Mr. Yuan inside to say something. Unexpectedly, Mr. Yuan's voice came from behind.
"Why do you do this great gift?"
Changsun Huan was stunned, and turned around to see Yuan Tiangang standing a few steps behind him.
Changsun Huan opened his mouth but didn't say anything, but felt something was wrong.
Since Mr. Yuan is at the back, the person inside is...
"Cough cough cough..."
Bai Song walked out, coughed awkwardly, and smiled at Changsun Huan who was kneeling on the ground.
"Bai Song! It's you!" Changsun Huan jumped up, first pointed at Bai Song, and then covered his forehead, which was aching in pain.
"Hey, we are all classmates, what are the grievances that we have to deal with?" Bai Song shook his head and hooked Changsun Huan's shoulder, "Stop talking, we will be brothers from now on, your business is my business, all our grievances and grievances , just these three of you, let’s cancel it in one step.”
"Who! Whoever... canceled it with you, I... I..." Changsun Huan's face turned green.
"Shh..." Bai Song suppressed his voice, "If you don't want the matter to spread, don't hold on to it. Is there anyone who forces you to kowtow?"
"Bai Song! Bai Song... you..."
"What's going on?" Yuan Tiangang looked at the two of them suspiciously.
Bai Song smiled mysteriously: "Sir, can you figure it out?"
Yuan Tiangang immediately glared at Bai Song, flicked his sleeves, and entered the small study.
"Sir, I want to leave the academy." Bai Song shouted to the small study room.
There is no response in it, and there is no prohibition, which means it is agreed.
Bai Song patted Changsun Huan on the shoulder, laughed again and walked straight outside.
Changsun Huan hurriedly chased him out, grabbing Bai Song's clothes: "Bai Song, please speak clearly to me!"
"What do you mean?"
"you you……"
"Don't you just want to stop making any noise?"
"Exactly!"
"If you don't make it public, don't make it public. Why are you so nervous? Who cares about your business?"
"You swear to God!"
"Swear? Are you sick? I'm being stopped from doing business!"
"You...don't leave!"
Bai Song was so annoyed by Changsun Huan that he stopped and turned around and said to him: "Aren't you just afraid of your brother? What does it mean if you don't get the support of your family? Why do you think your father sent you here? Your family If they don’t support you, your classmates will support you! The talents here are your wealth, and you are each other’s wealth. I have said this many times. None of you take it to heart! Think about it carefully, in fact, you are not Don’t be lonely. Also, don’t do too many things, and don’t pretend to be crazy or stupid. Just be your true self and keep your heart. No matter what you do these days, don’t seek merit but seek no faults. As long as you can be steady, Many people who think they are smart will take the initiative to give away their lives. They are wretched and underdeveloped, so hold on tight and don’t waver. You can win this one. Twelve words for you."
Changsun Huan froze on the spot, thinking about Bai Song's words.
"Slow development, hold on tight and don't wave, you can win this one...it seems...it seems to make some sense."
When Chang Sun Huan raised his head again, the Bai Song people had already gone far.
…
As dusk approached, Bai Song arrived at the back door of the Criminal Department.
Behind Bai Song is Xu Peiran pretending to be a book boy.
Master Liu met Bai Song, gave Bai Song a few words, and then took the key to the depths of the prison.
Xu Xun is a repeat offender. Even if Mr. Liu gives Bai Song some convenience, he still wants Bai Song to stay under his nose at all times.
There are many prisoners in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and most of them are from Xiangjiazhuang.
Before coming, Bai Song repeatedly warned Xu Peiran not to reveal his flaws, otherwise he would not only be caught, but Bai Song would also be implicated.
Xu Peiran promised seriously, but when he got here and saw all his relatives in cells, he couldn't help but get excited.
Bai Song felt that Xu Peiran's breathing was not right, so he looked back worriedly and gave her a look.
Attracted by Bai Song's gaze, Xu Peiran calmed down and began to adjust his emotions.
"Master Liu, so many people are being imprisoned in Xiangjiazhuang. I heard that not all of them are related to the Holy Lotus Sect. Especially those women. Isn't this unfair?"
"Fair? Collusion with the Holy Lotus Sect is a serious crime that has implicated the nine clans. The sins Xu Xun has committed have not been completed for generations. Young Master may not know that this Xiangjiazhuang secretly funded the Holy Lotus Sect with nearly 100,000 silver. The core of the sect. Now that the Holy Lotus sect heard that Xu Xun had been arrested, they openly rebelled in Chengdu, hijacked the governor of Yizhou, and controlled the army. They even kidnapped more than 70 members of General Cheng Zhijie and his family as hostages, threatening the court! The court released Xu Xun!"
"What?!"
Bai Song was so shocked that he almost bit his tongue.
Without any trouble, the Holy Lotus Sect openly rebelled in Yizhou! Not only took control of the army, but also kidnapped Cheng Yaojin’s family?
Bai Song was so shocked that he froze on the spot and did not move any further.
Master Liu realized that he had said the wrong thing and regretted it so much that he even broke into a cold sweat.
Bai Song saw through the other person's mind and said proactively: "Don't worry, sir. I'm not a fool. I know what to say and what not to say."
Lord Liu frowned and looked at Bai Song's book boy.
Bai Song patted Xu Peiran and smiled: "She has followed me since she was a child, and she is also a smart person."
After saying that, Xu Peiran nodded: "You, go ahead and let me have a few words with Mr. Liu."
Xu Peiran took the opportunity to walk away and arrived at Xu Xun's cell alone.
Bai Song used what he said just now to ask: "Mr. Liu, since we have already said everything, why not say a few more words. Is there really something wrong with Yizhou?"
"Mr. Bai, please don't spread the word."
"Don't worry, Mr. Liu should understand me."
"Mr. Bai is a smart man, so Liu can rest assured that there is no harm in talking."
Master Liu lowered his voice: "There is a rebellion in the seven counties of Yizhou. The Holy Lotus Sect has infiltrated into the military. I heard that Master Cheng Zhijie tried his best to break out of the siege, but failed to save his whole family. He was so angry that he vomited blood three times on the way. The news When the news reached the capital, the emperor was furious and ordered Yizhou to be pacified within one month. Mr. Li had just been transferred from the Ministry of War to the Ministry of Punishment, and now he is about to be ordered to lead the old Northern Expedition troops to Yizhou."
