The three horsemen took a long detour to the Qinglu Cave Academy, and the three of them stopped their horses at the foot of the mountain, handed over the horses to the academy handymen to feed the horses, and then walked up the steps. Although Xu Fengnian was in a hurry, he was very slow to climb the mountain. It was on this mountain road that he once had a thrilling life-and-death confrontation with Gao Shulu, and then he got the heavenly physique, and the girl also wore that untimely mink hat to intercept Wang Xianzhi, hitting a stone with an egg. When Xu Fengnian rested in the pavilion halfway up the mountain, looking at the mountains and rivers of Youzhou, he remembered for no reason the scholar who said "please ask the ancestors to die" on the big snow flat, Xu Fengnian leaned against a bright red pavilion pillar that the academy had repainted with vermilion paint at the beginning of the year, and said to himself: "Xuanyuan Jingcheng, I gave the book Huishan last year, maybe your daughter will be suspicious, thinking that I am thinking about what to do with her, but in fact, I just hope to have more seeds in the rivers and lakes." Xuanyuan Qingfeng thought that I didn't know what Zhao Huangchao did after he was out of the body, I just didn't want to pursue it, she wanted to be the leader of the martial arts alliance as a woman, and Wang Xianzhi of Huishan Daxueping, so she would go with her. In another hundred years, the reckless dragon and snake in the future, I am afraid that the realm of celestial phenomena will be rarer than today's land immortals, and there will be no scholars who can read a Confucian realm by reading. Back then, you said, 'The grasshopper shakes the tree, and it is not enough to be respected.' At that time, I didn't feel anything, but now that I think back to my situation in Beiliang, it is indeed inevitable that I will feel concerned. ”

Lu Yunchang, whose face had not completely disappeared, muttered softly: "Master, it's just a matter of going to Bishan County, after all, there is a woman as gorgeous as Aunt Pei, and it is not good to be left out in the cold." But this Qinglu Cave Mountain, I can hear the sound of reading in the middle of the mountain, and my head hurts. Master, what do you say you are doing, I can say it in advance, if there is no second Aunt Pei, but just come to the academy to listen to the endorsement, I will really turn my face. When the time comes, I will raise and fall with a knife in my hand, and then raise and fall with a knife in my hand, and slash those scholars to the point that they are on their backs. ”

Yu Dilong said angrily: "Lu Yunchang, you haven't fought enough, have you? Believe it or not, I'll beat you to death with one punch!"

Lu Yunchang also jumped to his feet, looked at Xu Fengnian with a look of resentment, and said extremely aggrieved: "Master, you are partial to Senior Brother, it is just enough to hand over the secret of Wang Laowei to him for safekeeping, and even Master, your grandfather, and his old man's life's work knife book were also given to Senior Brother, I picked it up on the side of the road and handed it over to my stepmother, right?"

Xu Fengnian bent his fingers on the door of Lu Yunchang's head and knocked lightly, and said with a smile: "It's not that I'm stingy, or eccentric Yu Di Long, but those two things don't suit you, and I will also have some martial arts experience in the future, as long as I have the opportunity to compile a score, it will only be given to you at that time, not Yu Di Long and Wang Sheng." ”

Lu Yunchang was pleasantly surprised: "Really?"

Xu Feng said in a young voice: "Continue to go up the mountain." ”

Lu Yunchang, who was following behind Xu Fengnian's buttocks, glanced triumphantly at Yu Dilong, who rolled his eyes.

Xu Fengnian asked with a smile: "Have you ever thought about a question, why are Buddhist temples mostly built at the foot of the mountain, but the big Taoist palaces and temples are mostly on the top of the mountain, while the Confucian academy often likes to be halfway up the mountain." ”

Lu Yunchang said without thinking: "The bald donkeys like incense money, and they are afraid that pilgrims will be too tired to climb the mountain. Those stinky cow noses in Taoism are asking for immortality, preaching and ascending, naturally they have to choose a place closest to the gods, chanting sutras every day, and the gods can hear it. As for what the reader thinks, it is probably because the top of the mountain at the foot of the mountain has been occupied, so he has to build a house on the mountainside. Master, is this very reasonable?"

Xu Fengnian was noncommittal, and continued to ask, "Dilong, what do you think?"

Yu Dilong was just a shepherd boy, he had never seen any Taoist temples and academies in his life, and he had never understood the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, so he was naturally confused, but since the master had spoken, this child had to think about this question with a hard head, and he finally understood that Lu Yunchang's so-called brain case hurt. Fortunately, the master was understanding, and quickly turned his head and smiled: "Don't think about it if you don't understand it for the time being, but when you grow up, when you encounter something, think about it more when you don't want to think about it." When you can do it or not, you might as well do it. When people live for a lifetime and protect themselves, they only seek to understand their own thoughts, regardless of the wishes of others, such land immortals, don't do it. ”

Yu Dilong nodded vigorously and said, "Write it down." ”

The three of them came to the gate of Qinglu Cave Academy, where there were rules for martial artists to enter the hospital to remove their armor and take off their swords, of course, they were set by Xu Fengnian himself, but Yu Dilong was unwilling to take off the big man's war knife, and Lu Yunchang was not happy to be nicknamed "Bigfoot Daughter-in-law" by him The big frost long knife was separated, and the two had to wait in the open square outside the academy, Xu Fengnian took off the Beiliang knife around his waist and put it into a big bamboo basket resting on both sides of the door, there were already six or seven precious long swords with gorgeous swords in it, and now Beiliang is not allowed to carry a war knife privately, otherwise he will be thrown into prison for the brocade ranger, and there is no love at all. Otherwise, Xu Fengnian estimated that there would be six or seven Beiliang knives with hilt inlaid with pearls and jade in the basket. The Liyang Imperial Court can't help but go to various academies, and the Shangyin School Palace is the most famous "private school" in the world, but the Zhao family does not support it, and the founders of the academies are mostly local famous teachers and Confucians, and there are very few local land guards who serve as such "mountain chiefs" and "cave masters" , Beiliang is an outlier, under Xu Fengnian's personal attention, more than a dozen academies in the three states of Beiliang Youliangling are not only funded by Qingliangshan and local governments, but also officials are not allowed to hinder the various current affairs of the academy, such as the cave owner of this Qinglu Cave Academy is Huang Shang, the local official leader who was once famous in the Yang Dynasty. Although these academies are the pure land that Xu Fengnian, the king of the northwest domain, tried his best to open up, but the group of scholars who went to Liang did not pay attention to what "milk is a mother", when the war in Youzhou was urgent, especially when the two cities of Wogong Xiaguang were broken one after another, the scolding and criticism of the academy was the largest, and then more or less spread to the folk market, and the people's hearts floated. Not only did Yan Wenluan, a meritorious general, hate this, but even Hu Kui, the assassin of Youzhou, and Tian Peifang, the assassin of Liangzhou, who was born as an orthodox literati, all expressed their worries with Song Dongming, the deputy envoy of the scripture strategy, but Li Gongde, a "man of insight" in the officialdom Of course, the vast majority of local officials in Beiliang feel that these embroidered pillows dare to embarrass the King of Beiliang, and the end is probably not much better, especially when Yu Luan Daowan rode outside the gourd mouth to make a contribution to the battle situation in Youzhou, they all felt that it was time to kill the chickens and monkeys, and kill this wind and rain.

Then Xu Fengnian walked into the Qinglu Cave Academy at this time. Because he only met Huang Sheng and others at the gate of the academy at that time, there were many foreign scholars in the academy, and no one in this place in the paradise recognized him, only as a son of the Beiliang family who came to study in the academy. Xu Fengnian entered a study building, and the lectures in the academy were mainly Confucian classics, next to historical books and poems, and occasionally discussed current affairs. Today is a gathering lecture presided over by the Great Confucian, the study building is spacious, and more than 100 futons are placed on the ground for the scholars and listeners to sit on the ground, the futon is still not enough, like Xu Fengnian, who entered through the back door, can only sit down casually in the back. The great Confucian who is not famous for the imperial examination is explaining the art of making arts, and he is a bit of a suspicion that the nine-rank master is commenting on the martial arts master, but Xu Fengnian listened carefully for a while, and still felt that he benefited a lot, especially the great Confucian in guessing the question, quite insightful, Liangdi Shizi went to Beijing to take the exam in the coming year to participate in the Spring Festival, maybe there can be a few more people on the gold list. Bei Liang on the outflow of Shizi fat water, since Xu Xiao, he has turned a blind eye, from Yan Jiexi to Yao Baifeng's entry into Beijing, Xu Xiao did not deliberately make things difficult, and Xu Fengnian is also happy to see that Sun Yin, the reason is very simple, Li Yishan once made an analogy, the young bird grows into a feeding mother, not to mention the people? At that time, His Royal Highness the Young Prince was still puzzled, Li Yishan smiled and said that maybe only one or two out of ten people are grateful to Bei Liang, but it is enough. If all ten people are imprisoned in Beiliang and their fame and career are cut off, then nine times out of ten they will have hatred for Beiliang.

Next, the great Confucian also picked a few less boring topics, and let more than 100 young scholars express their opinions, including the establishment of six museums by the emperor's majesty, and the order to let twelve national painters paint portraits of the heroes of the Spring and Autumn Period, and how to look at the portrait of the emperor who is allowed to enshrine in the temple of meritorious heroes and accompany the sacrifice Taimiao, the most important thing is that the great Confucian smiled and let the scholars guess whether there will be an old Liang King in the portrait of the accompanying sacrifice, and if so, which Danqing holy hand will be depicted, it is the "He family Yeyi, Liu family is rich" One of the well-known He Liu, or the "Xiao Wei Chi" who is good at painting Buddha statues, ghosts and gods, especially the statue of a thousand hands and eyes, is it the "Xiao Wei Chi" who is famous in the world, or is it Zheng Sixun, who has recently dedicated poetry and painting to the end of today's "Zheng Family's Three Uniques"?

There was a lot of discussion in the book building, and it was very lively.

Xu Fengnian sighed a little, Zhao Zhen gave 10,000 Youqi a set in Jibei, and after the "demonstration northwest" in the border of the military department, he soon came to a combination of rigidity and softness, and there was gossip outside the palace, saying that the emperor's majesty wanted to "have a loss in the court" on the matter of Xu Xiao's name, and wanted to chase the general Xu Xiao, as for this "loss", of course, it was created by Zhang Julu, the first assistant at that time, and his new monarch Zhao Zhen and his new dynasty were trying their best to remedy it. If this is the handwriting of Qi Yanglong, Xu Fengnian is not surprised, if it is Zhao Zhen's own meaning, then it is worth worrying and pondering. Xu Fengnian is not worried about the Liyang Emperor with a small belly, on the contrary, the more informal Zhao Zhen is, the more difficult Beiliang's situation will be. Zhao Zhen is hostile to Beiliang or Xu Fengnian, Jibei and Caoyun have been obvious, the more Zhao Zhen gives Xu Xiao, he must ask for more from Xu Fengnian, what he gives is all false, and what he wants is real. But this kind of trade-off, in the eyes of the Liyang government and the opposition, is very "reasonable".

Xu Fengnian fell into deep thought, and then was suddenly disturbed by a quarrel. It turned out that seven or eight outsiders and local scholars who were on opposite sides of the camp suddenly began to quarrel, arguing about when Xiaguang City would be broken by Beimang and the stability of Hutou City, and both sides had no objection to the fall of Xiaguang City under the offensive of more than 200,000 soldiers and horses in Youzhou, but the local scholars in Beiliang felt that they could support at least another ten and a half months, and the foreign scholars thought that Xiaguang City could be broken in the near future. As for Hutou City, which is known as the first male town in the northwest, the dispute is even more intense, the former feels that holding on for a month is a great success, and the latter almost blindly believes that Hutou City can become the second "Central Plains Pillar" Xiangfan City, and become the Beiliang Pillar in the torrent of the Beimang Cavalry. During this period, there was a clear confrontation, the two sides paralyzed the Beimang supply line on Xu Fengnian's personal appearance outside the gourd's mouth, and the quarrel was red-faced, and the scholars from other towns believed that the son of a thousand daughters could not sit down, saying that Xu Fengnian's childish behavior of risking his life was to be a hero who would go down in history, and it was a childish mentality, not only could not be praised, but if it was the emperor, he would be impeached and punished! After all, the Northern Liang scholars are clumsy, and many arguments are not satisfactory, and when they go to Liang Shizi to read poetry and books, they can always come up with a link of sage truths to sneer at them. In the end, the Beiliang scholar who lost the scolding battle was worthy of being a native of Beiliang, and he was almost about to roll up his sleeves and reason with his fists with the bastards who stood and talked without backache, but was scolded by a Shangyin scholar who squinted at the "barbarian" who added fuel to the fire, and it was completely chaotic at this moment, and for a while, Xu Fengnian's fists and saliva flew together, so it was not lively. Beiliang scholars thought that scolding and fighting was not cheap, relying on people and horses, and they would never suffer a loss in fighting, but they never thought that there were two foreign scholars who had practiced martial arts and practiced both civil and military.

Xu Fengnian, who was still suffering from the pond fish while always sitting on the ground, raised his hand to block the sole of a shoe and gently pushed it away. Soon you have to turn your head to avoid someone's spit, and then hold a reader who staggers back.

Those Bei Liang who climbed the mountain to study and put their swords in the bamboo basket inquired a little, and they became angry on the spot, almost jumping over the heads of many scholars, throwing themselves into the battlefield, and suddenly bringing back the disadvantage.

The great Confucian who used to be in charge of lecturing in the Shangyin School Palace but liked military science did not feel insulting at all, but instead of scolding him sharply, he smiled and stroked his beard, sat on the ground, and made wonderful comments on the fists and feet of both sides.

Outsiders who dare to come to Beiliang, if there is no blood, there is no courage and courage, so this fight intensified, and soon someone saw blood, even so, no one flinched, first of all, those who came to join the battlefield as reinforcements from the Beiliang side, their shot, soon aroused the resonance of all the Beiliang scholars in the library, and they got up and rushed to the "battlefield" behind the library. Then soon, there were also non-local scholars who went to help as fellow villagers from various provinces and states in Liyang. The great Confucian was still not in a hurry, seeing that there were fewer and fewer scholars sitting, and many scholars with small arms and thin legs also got up and rushed over, even if they didn't fight, they would also advocate momentum on the periphery.

Xu Fengnian helped the locals a few times, but he was very measured, just helping them block some overly heavy moves, and one of them quietly pulled the neckline of the seed brother and pulled him back a few steps.

In the end, the battle in the rear of the study building came to an end, and Mingjin withdrew his troops, and the two sides confronted each other violently, staring at each other with big eyes, ready to start the next big battle at any time. Of course, Xu Fengnian was standing on the side of the local scholars, and there was a gentleman from Youzhou General Sect beside him who was oozing blood from the corners of his mouth, grinning in pain, and turning his head to Xu Fengnian, who helped him block a fist, and said with a smile: "Dude, thank you just now, go back down the mountain and invite you to drink flower wine." These turtle grandsons, Lao Tzu has long been displeasing to the eye...... By the way, my name is Yang Huizhi, from Jet County, when I get to the county, report my name, keep you safe, of course, don't do the act of killing people and overstepping goods, even I don't dare to do this kind of thing......"

When the cave master Huang Shang heard the news, he rushed into the study building, and shouted angrily: "The academy is a place where scholars cultivate Qi and rule peace, what kind of system do you become?

Huang Shang didn't look at the two groups of people who were clearly distinguished, and sighed softly to the Confucian lecturer who was there: "Xue Ji, you don't have a little restraint. ”

The big Confucian named Xue Ji smiled, stretched out his hand and casually pointed to a calligraphy and painting hanging on the wall behind him, "We scholars, we are not afraid of being unreasonable, we are afraid of being unreasonable." It is better to be calm and calm, and it is better to talk about a big fight, than to hold back in your stomach and wait for the future to settle accounts, what gentleman is not too late to take revenge for ten years, and many years later, the high and powerful officials in the officialdom will teach the officials small, and the officials will bully those who are not officials, and those who are not officials can only bully the common people, isn't it too terrible? It is better for everyone to finish the fight today, and when the anger is dissipated, they can sit down and continue to talk. Cave master, didn't I wait for them to stop moving, calm down, and then I enlightened and persuaded one or two. These half-buckets of water in the study building are usually swaying one by one, and they will not remember if they don't suffer losses. ”

Huang Sheng couldn't cry or laugh, and said helplessly: "Old Xue, you, you." ”

Huang Sheng suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of his eyes, and his heart was shocked.

Now the Beiliang officialdom is waiting to see the good shows of the major academies, and Huang Sheng absolutely supports the matter of the literati discussing politics, but the old man is not without worries about the signs of unrest in the "mountain" academy that is pointing fingers at the border and military affairs. Although the king of Beiliang promised him not to get involved in the affairs of the academy with the government, he also promised that the academy would never be punished for his words, and even protected the scholars from the disaster of the soldiers and the humiliation of the warriors. But Huang Sheng still didn't believe in his heart that the young and vigorous King Beiliang could really be a shopkeeper, not to mention that it was indeed the academy that was "making trouble" at this time. Therefore, when the Qinglu Cave Cave Master saw Xu Fengnian appear in the battlefield, his heart was immediately cold, could it be that Xu Fengnian was going to go online?

Huang Shang is worthy of being a hard bone, the colder his heart is, the more he refuses to retreat, he took a few steps forward, and asked Xu Fengnian bluntly: "The king of Beiliang is here to rejuvenate the teacher and ask for guilt? Is he going to close the academy? Is Beiliang a scholar allowed to study?"

Xu Fengnian shook his head, glanced at the words, and said calmly: "I originally just wanted to come and take a look, and I will leave after reading it." But now I am much more relieved, the words on the wall are 'a thousand years of events, the most troublesome'. ”

Xu Fengnian looked around and said with a smile: "I hope that all the readers will think about it carefully, and after thinking about it, the voice will be heavy." You and I encourage each other. ”

Xu Fengnian faced the great Confucian and gently shook him, "This truth was taught by Mr., and Xu Fengnian was taught." ”

Xue Ji should have wanted to get up and return the salute quickly, but for some reason, at that moment, this old Confucian who was depressed in the Shangyin School Palace forcibly put his ass back on the futon, straightened his waist, and endured this blow without saying a word.

Long after the young King of Beiliang and the cave master Huang Shang left the study building, Xue Ji still didn't move, and the old man finally lowered his head and reached out to touch the ground outside the futon, "Who said that in the land of Beiliang, only horses and armor will be planted, and there will be no reading seeds?"

Xue Ji faced the group of young scholars who had not yet eased up, raised his hand and pressed it down, his expression was full of spirit, "You all sit down." I, Xue Ji, will talk about how to think at the end of today, which is what my generation of scholars should think!"
