After walking for a long time, the carriage that Jingkong and Qiao'er rode came to Yanzhou.

Yanzhou is located in Fenglin Mountain (now Baota Mountain), Taihe Mountain (now Qingliang Mountain), Phoenix Mountain, the position of the confluence of the two rivers of Yanhe River and Fenchuan River, and has become a place where soldiers must fight, and is known as "plugging the throat" and "military town", and is known as "the key to the three Qin, the throat of the five roads".

Yanzhou was originally a border fortress, but after the Wuhu Rebellion, it became a gathering place for border trade. After entering Yanzhou City, I saw that the city was particularly lively, and the merchants of various nationalities around the city were shouting on the street. If you buy everything, you will sell it.

I found a few inns that were full, and after looking for a few more streets, I finally found an inn with two rooms. When the coachman left, Qiao'er and the coachman also gave a silver ingot, and the coachman thanked Qiao'er and the clear space again and again, and after thanking him, the coachman drove the carriage away.

Qiao'er and Jingkong returned to the store after sending the coachman, ready to go back to the room, and when they entered the hall of the inn, they ordered some meals for the night with the shopkeeper, and then went back to their respective rooms with Jingkong to rest.

When it was time for dinner, the shopkeeper delivered the food to Qiao'er's room.

"Little brother, I want you to inquire about something."

"Childe, you say."

"Do you know where the Tianji Academy is?"

"Tianji Academy! Tianji Academy is at the foot of Taihe Mountain outside the city, you go out from the north city gate, walk for about half an hour, and you can see it after crossing the Yan River. ”

Qiao'er asked the shopkeeper about the situation of Tianji Academy.

"What does Tianji Academy do?" Qiao'er continued to ask.

The shopkeeper replied: "Tianji Academy is a bookstore, it used to print Buddhist scriptures, and later the government destroyed the Buddha and destroyed the scriptures, and Tianji Academy was changed to a place where books were printed for the government. ”

"Okay, thank you, little brother!"

"Childe, I'll go out if it's okay! You use it slowly," the shopkeeper finished speaking and exited the room.

As soon as the shopkeeper went out, he came to Qiao'er's room for dinner.

"Hurry up and eat, rest early, and take you to Tianji Academy tomorrow." Qiao'er said to the clearance.

"Did you ask about the location of the Tianji Academy?"

"Well, I asked the shopkeeper just now, and he told me the location."

"Tomorrow I will finally be able to go to Tianji Academy, and I will be able to know the secret of the Jade Buddha." When Jingkong heard what Qiao'er said, he was a little excited, and he finished eating after a while, "Then I'll go back to my room to rest first, I'll come over to call you early tomorrow morning, and then go to Tianji Academy together." ”

"Well, go ahead!" Qiao'er saw the excitement of the clear space, smiled back to the clear space, and then the clear space went back to the room.

The next day, as soon as dawn Qingkong came to knock on Qiao'er's door, Qiao'er was already ready, let Jingkong in, and then sorted out some luggage, only carrying a black baggage, and other items were placed in the inn. Came to the counter of the inn hall, paid the room money for three days, and told the shopkeeper that there might not be an inn in the past two days, but the room had to be kept with them, and the innkeeper took the room money and said that he must keep it, and Qiao'er walked out of the inn with a clear space.

After leaving the inn, Qiao'er went directly to the north city gate according to the guidance of yesterday's shop boy, went out of the north city gate, and walked along the gate for about three quarters of an hour, and saw the Yan River, Taihe Mountain was in front of him.

The Yan River is a first-class tributary of the Yellow River, with a total length of about 560 li, and is the second largest river in Yanzhou. The Yan River runs through Taihe Mountain, Fenglin Mountain and Phoenix Mountain. As far as the eye can see, Taihe Mountain is located on the north bank of the Yan River, facing Phoenix Mountain and Baota Mountain across the river, the mountain is towering, and the scenery is unique.

Qiao'er and Jingkong came to the south bank of the Yan River, rented a boat by the Yan River, and sailed to the north bank of the Yan River. After driving for a quarter of an hour, I came to the north bank of the Yan River, continued to walk to the north, and saw a courtyard at the foot of the mountain, the courtyard was particularly simple, with white walls and black tiles, surrounded by a wall, and the structure inside could not be seen outside, only to see the four big characters of Tianji Academy engraved on the door plaque.

Qiao'er stepped forward and knocked on the door, and after a while, the door opened, and a child who looked like a twelve or thirteen-year-old scholar poked his head out and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

"We're not looking for anyone, can we go in and have a look?" Qiao'er asked

"No, this academy does not accept outsiders?" The child said politely.

"Okay, excuse me!" Qiao'er replied to the child a little reluctantly.

Qiao'er pulled the clear space and left the gate of the Tianji Academy and walked towards the mountain.

"Why don't you go in?" Qingkong asked Qiao'er a little disappointed.

Qiao'er glanced at the clear space: "Are you stupid?" They said they wouldn't let you in. You have to have a reason to go in, do you take this jade Buddha and ask people when you see this, do you know this jade Buddha? What if the person you're looking for isn't in Tianji Academy? ”

"Okay, so what to do?" There is no way to clear the space, so I have to find a way to find Qiao'er.

"Let's go up the mountain first, look at the situation of Tianji Academy on the mountain, and then at night, I will go in to find out the situation, and then see how to enter Tianji Academy to find someone." Qiao'er said to the clearance.

"Okay." Jingkong thought that this was the only way to do it now, and then followed Qiao'er to the mountain.

Qiao'er climbed to the halfway up the mountain with the clear space, and looked at the Tianji Academy under the mountain, the courtyard of the Tianji Academy is quite large, there are three courtyards inside, two rows of wings on both sides of the outer courtyard, the middle is an arch, the entrance to the arch is the middle courtyard, there is a personal artificial pool at the entrance of the middle courtyard, there is a rockery in the pool, a nine-curved trestle bridge in the middle of the pool, there are two corridors on both sides of the middle courtyard, and there is a row of houses in the middle courtyard. Qiao'er observed the internal structure of the Huitianji Academy, and then prepared to continue to walk up the mountain with the clear space.

After walking two steps, I saw a cave halfway up the mountain, and the cave was sealed with stones.

Qiao'er was curious, walked to the entrance of the cave, looked around, the entrance of the cave is quite large, but all sealed with stones and lime, Qiao'er went up and knocked, the time of the cave entrance sealing is still very new, but it is not recently sealed, it has been sealed for some time. Qiao'er pulled a dagger out of her sleeve, then began to dig out the lime from the cracks in the stone, and then began to pry the sealing stone.

Qiao'er pried off a stone, and then said to the clearance: "Come and dig with me, I want to see what is inside?" ”

"Okay!" Qingkong replied, and hurriedly pry the stone with Qiao'er.

After the two of them dug a few stones, a hole that could accommodate one person opened, Qiao'er let the clearance handle outside, Qiao'er took the fire fold and was about to climb into the hole, Qiao'er handed all the things to the clearance, and then began to climb inside. Look out there and let him be careful.

Qiao'er entered the cave, opened the fire fold, and was instantly dumbfounded!
