The tall old man looked at this old master who had been in a small county town all his life, and suddenly felt a little unbearable.

If it's just a matter in the county, the tall old man can control it single-handedly. But now that the situation has risen to the level of the imperial court, he can only think about the overall situation of Xintian County.

"Mr. Han, over the years, I can't live in Baiyang County, otherwise I wouldn't have fallen into the current situation." The tall old man sighed and blamed himself.

Mr. Han shook his head and said, "It's a huge county, and it is impossible for Lord Taishou to cover everything." Your Excellency, you are a good official, but not everyone below you is a good person. In today's world, there are people who do good people, and people who do bad people have to do it, right? ”

"When this matter is over, I will take the children of Baiyang County to study in the academy in the county town, Mr. Han, is this good?" The tall old man asked.

Mr. Han touched his beard, nodded and smiled: "Okay, good, so good, so good, so old and relieved." ”

In the evening, in the small square in the center of Baiyang County, many people were watching.

In front of Mr. Han, there was a large pile of brand-new books, and the old man leaned over, picked up the books, and poured a layer of kerosene on them.

The old man held a torch in his hand, looked at the pile of books, and burst into tears.

The old man has studied all his life, although he has not been able to read any university questions, but the students he taught also have masters who wear python robes above the court.

As a scholar, burning books is not only a great disrespect to Confucianism, but also an insult to the entire reading faction.

"Mr. Han, why are you doing this?"

"Why do you want to burn these new books, there have been no new books in Baiyang County for several years, what can the children do if you burn them!"

"Mr. Han, be merciful!"

……

The onlookers, looking at the old man's old face, couldn't help crying one by one.

"Mr. Han, don't burn books, we will study hard in the future and stop making trouble for you!"

"Mr. Han, we all know it's wrong!"

……

"Long sigh to hide the tears, mourning the difficulties of the people's livelihood. is also good at what he has done, although he has not regretted his death. ”

The old man said something in a long note, and then threw the torch into the stack of books.

The fire was raging, and Mr. Han was in tears.

This fire burned not only a bunch of books, but also the scholarly aura that was implicated in Confucianism in the old man's underworld.

The so-called reading of more than 10,000 volumes, if the pen is like a god, this god comes from the accumulation of reading day after day and year after year. This fire completely burned the old man's god of reading.

The book comes from Shuiling Mountain, and there is a trace of aura in the book, and this fire also burns the aura in the book.

"Mr. Han, why are you so ruthless? If you really set fire to the books, how will you go to see your ancestors in the future? ”

"You are a scholar and have studied all your life, why do you want to do such a rebellious act?"

"Woo woo woo, Mr. Han is a bad person!"

……

Looking at the raging fire, the crowd was excited, this pile of books from Shuiling Mountain can be said to be a little hope for the children who have no books to read in the entire Baiyang County.

Therefore, no one can understand the old man's burning behavior. vp

The old man burned off his scholarly spirit, and naturally he was abandoned by the Confucianists. The qi in the old man's body is rapidly dissipating.

Whether it is merit or fault, what will it be, and whether this Baiyang County will be flattened by this turmoil in the future, the old people can't see it.

The old man sat cross-legged on the ground, and his heart suddenly felt as if he had been whipped, and a sharp pain swept over him. The old man's face became distorted, and blood spilled from his mouth.

The vitality is quickly dissipating, and the old man is coming to an end.

Outside the crowd, the tall old man stood, looking at the old man next to the raging fire, and his heart was mixed.

In this way, can we resolve this turmoil and keep Baiyang County? The tall old man also does not know.

With so many people present, no one would have thought that this old master would vomit blood on the spot, because they didn't know what it meant to burn the books from Shui Ling Mountain.

"Quick, kill and save people!" Qi Bai rushed over when he heard the news, and when he saw Mr. Han who was crumbling, he hurriedly stepped forward to support the old man.

Qi Bai took Mr. Han back to the county office, and at this time Mr. Han was lying on a simple wooden bed, dying.

Li Xiao and the others, who had not left the county government at this time, immediately went to see what was going on with the old man.

"Mr. Han, why can't you think about it like that?" Qi Bai sighed heavily and said.

Mr. Han shook his head and said weakly, "Someone has to do this, right?" You can't do it, I'll have to do it. ”

"Hey!" Qi Bai wanted to speak and stopped, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back.

There are some things that I might as well not say them, at least it's a pity not to let this old master go.

Li Xiao stepped forward and tried to pay attention to a trace of breath in Mr. Han's body, and the qi that entered Mr. Han's body dissipated in an instant. His body has been abandoned by the Great Dao, and he can no longer retain any vitality.

"Thank you, young man. You're not locals, do you, leave Baiyang County as soon as possible, the farther the better, the farther the better......" Finally, a smile appeared on the old man's face, but there was no longer a trace of life.

Qi Bai gritted his teeth, his body trembling slightly.

"Mr. Han, you are confused! Your fire may make Baiyang County fall into a situation where it is not a person inside and outside! Do you think I really don't want to do anything? Qi Bai's expression was quite painful.

Li Xiao patted Qi Bai's shoulder and said, "Let the old man go with peace of mind, if there is anything that can help me, you can open your mouth." ”

"There is only one old master in Baiyang County, Mr. Han, and now that Mr. Han is gone, the group of children who are eager to study, without the old master, even learning is a problem." Qi Bai said.

Qi Bai suddenly turned his head, looked at Li Xiao, looked a little excited, raised his hand and pointed in a direction, and said, "There is a saint sitting on that Shuiling Mountain, and you can come to Baiyang County in an instant." Xintian County does have a good county guard, but this doesn't mean that a pool is full of clear water! Why can't I get the books issued by Xintian County in three or five years? Xintian County didn't take the small place of Baiyang County in its eyes at all! ”

"Now even if the barrier is broken, Shuiling Mountain really wants to set up its own portal, if they want to include Baiyang County in their territory, Baiyang County will have nothing to do! But now the old gentleman has burned the book, which is equivalent to burning the incense of Baiyang County and Shuiling Mountain! Baiyang County has this kind of move, and in the future, the immortals on Shuiling Mountain will mercilessly treat Baiyang County as a battlefield! ”

"Nearly 100,000 lives! They are all ordinary people, and they can't stand the fight of those immortals at all! In an instant, Baiyang County will be wiped out! But as long as Baiyang County has a little scholarly smell of Shuiling Mountain, Shuiling Mountain will not be unscrupulous! Even if the war breaks out and the monks of Qingshui Country retreat to Baiyang County, the immortals on Shuiling Mountain will not rashly make a move against Baiyang County! ”

Since Qi Bai took office, all the Mengxue books in Baiyang County have come from Shuiling Mountain, and he just wants Baiyang County to cultivate some of the fragrance of books on Shuiling Mountain.

In this way, it will be of great benefit to the children of Mengxue in Baiyang County. Even for some talented children, it can also bring certain opportunities.

Now that the situation is unstable, Shui Lingshan said that if he wants to stand on his own, he may have to stand on his own, Qi Bai, as a county commander, how can he be really simple-minded?

"If a big war breaks out one day in the future, I will help you stay outside the city gates, and I will do my best to protect Baiyang County from the impact of the battle." Li Xiao said seriously towards Qi Bai.

"Hey! You have this heart, I understand it for the people of Baiyang County. This matter should not be too fast, after all, Shuiling Mountain is a mountain force, and it doesn't matter to them whether they set up a gate or not. It still depends on whether Shui Ling Mountain can deal with the Qing Shui Kingdom Imperial Court. Qi Bai said.

"I'm serious." Li Xiao said.

Qi Bai looked at Li Xiao, his eyes were firm, and he was definitely not talking about fun with enthusiasm.

However, the saints of the Eighth Realm are fighting, does Li Xiao really have the ability to defend Baiyang County?
