Qinghe County and Linhe Town are only 20 miles apart, and they are also ruined in the corpse disaster, Linhe Town has not been able to recover in three years and five years, and Qinghe County has already regained its former prosperity, every household is full of lights, shops are reopened, and hawkers are shouting loudly.

The statue of the ancient saint Yan Lingshuang stands at the county gate, the colossus of holding a sword in one hand and stroking the beard in the other hand is much higher than the gate behind it, the sharp eyes overlook the four directions, the colossus stands a stone tablet on the left and right, the left side reads "the merit of mending the sky", and the right side reads "Saving the Tianhe".

There are three other statues after the statue of Yan Lingshuang, namely Long Yan, Long Yuzhen and Lu Hong, the knife work is still exquisite, but the size is much smaller, and the stone used is also a little worse.

After entering the county seat, the feeling is more obvious, not intentionally or unintentionally, the people in this county town have great respect for the ancient saint Yan Lingshuang, although there is no lack of gratitude for the God of Wealth Pavilion Lord and the "Little Lu Pavilion Lord", but in fact they don't have a lot of colds, it seems that the extermination of limb ghosts is all the work of the ancient saint Yan Lingshuang alone, Qinghe Academy has become a holy place, and all the parents are eager to send their children and nephews into the academy.

"As far as I know, the Fish Dragon Academy, Xianwen Pavilion, Tianxin Pavilion and other places also recruit disciples, why do you have to fill people in Qinghe Academy? Is it just because it's close?"

In the restaurant, Lu Hong asked in a hurry.

Immediately, some people were unhappy, snorted coldly, and said disdainfully: "How can places like the Fish Dragon Academy, the Xianwen Pavilion, and the Tianxin Pavilion be compared to my Qinghe Academy?"

Lu Hongdao: "Why can't it be compared? Fish Dragon Academy has really taught a lot of celebrities, not to mention those older generation figures, Li Menglian of this generation is the leader of the same generation, Xianwen Pavilion Yan Wufang, Zhuang Jiang, Yi Lin, are not ordinary generations, Tianxin Pavilion has a deep heritage, where is it not comparable to the Qinghe Academy that has just been built?",

"A bunch of nonsense",

"Nonsense",

Immediately, an old student stood up tremblingly and said: "What are the Fish Dragon Academy, Xianwen Pavilion, and Tianxin Pavilion? In the name of my Confucianism, they are swaggering and cheating, but they teach some messy things, that Li Menglian, Yi Lin, one behaves in a disorderless manner, behaves profligately, and the other is despicable and shameless, filthy and obscene, which one can be worthy of the Confucian shirt on the body and the Confucian crown on the head?"

"The old gentleman said it well",

"As the saying goes, ten years of trees, a hundred years of people, then the disciples of the Fish Dragon Academy and the Xianwen Pavilion are not even people, how dare they be called talents?",

A bunch of people applauded.

Seeing the enthusiastic response of everyone, the morale of the old students was even stronger, his face was red with excitement, he raised his arm and arched his hand to the north, and said with a spitting star: "My Qinghe Academy is the orthodoxy of Confucianism ordered by the ancient saints, with Zhang Zai, Wang Xun, Che Shuhao and other great Confucians in the world, and Mr. Xu is under the jurisdiction of the inside and outside, and the collection of books is not less than 100,000.

"As for what you are talking about, the Fish Dragon Academy, Xianwen Pavilion, Li Menglian, Zhuang Jiang, Yan Wufang, hum, where were these people when the corpse disaster occurred?

When he said that he was rising, the old man slammed the floor with the cane in his hand, which made the fat owner of the restaurant turn pale with fright.

Lu Hong was even more "speechless", and only after a while did he say: "So this Qinghe Academy is really a great place?"

"Hmph, of course it's amazing",

Seeing Lu Hong's remorseful look, the old man put on a teachable look, stroked his long beard and said: "The old man's grandson is quite talented, and he has been taken by Mr. Xu a few days ago and taken over by his subordinates."

"Congratulations to the old gentleman, congratulations to the old gentleman",

"Look at Mr. old and strong, brilliant writing, dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, your grandson is naturally also a dragon and phoenix among people, as soon as Mr. Xu teaches me a little bit Qinghe County, there will be one more genius coming",

Everyone shouted one after another, and the old student gave up his hands in all directions, and he didn't dare to do it.

Lu Hong was puzzled: "Is the entrance to this Qinghe Academy very strict?Why does it sound more difficult than entering some big families?",

When the old student heard this, his face became even more arrogant, and he pinched his beard and said: "That's natural, Confucianism is orthodox, that's what you want to enter?"

Lu Hongdao: "But back then, the old man of the sage Confucius accepted a wide range of disciples, accepted 3,000 disciples in his life, and advocated that there are no classes in education, and there are only 72 sages among the 3,000 disciples.

"It's... This ......",

Rao is an old man with a lotus tongue, and he can't find a reason at this time, "this" for half a night, but the words he said are even more stammering.

But soon someone came out to relieve the siege and said: "Heh, what's strange about this, Qinghe Academy has only been built for less than two months, this is the first time to accept disciples, of course you have to be leisurely, I heard people, Mr. Xu said, the next time you accept disciples, it will not be so strict",

"I've also heard that it's only a matter of a few months, let's just wait, I have long wanted to send my unsuccessful son to the academy to teach Mr. Xu."

Lu Hongdao: "Mr. Xu? Is Mr. Xu taking care of many things in Qinghe Academy? Gu Sheng's old man will accept disciples in person? If his old man is willing to accept apprentices, I will go to Qinghe Academy tomorrow to study sincerely."

"You?ha, forget it, Mr. Xu may not even look down on you",

"The old man of the ancient saint is indeed in the academy, but after the previous battle with the limbed ghost, his old man still has a dark wound that has not healed, and now he is still recuperating from his injury, and he may come forward to teach the apprentice in another year or two, if you are sincere, you might as well wait for two years and try your luck again."

Everyone was gossiping, but Lu Hong had already gotten the answer he wanted, and the body of the ancient saint was very likely to be in Qinghe Academy right now.

But I don't know if what is left in Qinghe Academy is just a shell of the saint or is in the same place as the body of the Heaven Swallowing Old Demon.

After thinking about it for a while, Lu Hong took a sip of tea casually, and said leisurely: "Since this is the case, I will wait for a year or two, but when I came, I heard some rumors, but I didn't know whether to say it or not."

"But it doesn't hurt to say it, why sell it?",

"Rumors stop at the wise, just say what you have to say here",

"Then I can say it", Lu Hong smiled and said: "I heard that it was not the ancient saint who came to fight against the limb ghost at all, but the heaven-swallowing old demon, the real ancient saint Yan Lingshuang has already disappeared, what you see is just the heaven-swallowing old demon occupying the body of the saint",

Hiss......

Before he finished speaking, there was silence in all directions, and many people gasped.
