Fan Baotong, Qin Baiyao, Qingqin Qinghe Sisters, and the Fan Mansion Worshipper who stayed behind stood in front of the bamboo forest with solemn faces, looking at the misty bamboo forest silently, and couldn't find a way into the forest for a while.

Qin Baiyao was lucky and open-minded, but he found nothing, and Fan Fu enshrined the miraculous means of knowing the fate realm, with fluttering sleeves, trying to break through the fog barrier, but in vain.

"It's everyone's array. Qin Baiyao shook his head and said, "Except for the Fang family himself, I'm afraid there are no more than three people in this world who can break this formation." ”

Hearing this, Fan Fu stopped breaking the formation, stood aside with his hands up, closed his eyes slightly, and seemed to ignore anything anymore.

Fan Baotong hurriedly said: "Why do you want to set up a formation to block ...... No, everyone Fang set up this formation to trap the teacher?"

Qin Baiyao nodded with a look of despair, and said in a cautious tone: "Everyone Fang is going to leave Mrs. Chen." ”

Although Fan Baotong didn't like to read when he was in Liang State, his awe for the three people of the human race was the same as that of others, and he was generally deep-rooted.

Qingqin Qinghe didn't have so many scruples, and when he heard Fang Xu that everyone wanted to keep people, he was immediately dissatisfied: "Why did he say that if he wanted to keep people, he would keep people, when Chen Gongzi came to my Yihua Villa as a guest, my master treated each other with courtesy, he came when he loved, and he left if he wanted, how could he not let him go here, this method is too arrogant." ”

Qin Baiyao hurriedly said: "Everyone must have a purpose in keeping people, don't be angry, two girls." ”

Fan Baotong also comforted: "Maybe everyone Fang and the teacher had a good conversation, in order to avoid outsiders from disturbing, maybe this special array is also possible." ”

Qin Baiyao hurriedly said: "This statement is reasonable. ”

As he was talking, a young scholar walked out of the bamboo forest, and when the scholar saw everyone, he first bowed politely, and then asked, "Are you all friends of Mr. Xiao Chen?"

Qin Baiyao replied with a salute and said, "Exactly, Mrs. Chen and I came to Chang'an together, and our mission is going back today, so I am here to pick up Mrs. Chen and go back together." ”

The young scholar said: "The family teacher has left Mr. Xiao Chen to study in the stone house, and he is preparing for the big competition in the next year, please go back." ”

Qin Baiyao's face changed slightly, and he said hurriedly: "Everyone Fang's blue-eyed Mrs. Chen, my Liang country is proud of it, but when my mission Fang went out of Luzhou, His Majesty and Princess Hongyu issued a strict order to bring Mrs. Chen back to Liang State, if Fang everyone really intends to accept Mrs. Chen as an apprentice, Mrs. Chen must first return to Luzhou to return to my lord, and then make a decision." Please tell Mr. Xiao about the old words. ”

The young scholar said: "The family teacher and Mr. Xiao Chen hit it off at first sight, and loved his talent very much, only taught carefully for two years, and the future is unlimited. ”

Qin Baiyao said "this", there was no afterword, Fan Baotong clenched his fists and was about to speak, the young scholar saluted him and said: "The family teacher once had an old relationship with Mrs. Fan, and there is also a share, and the son does not have to worry about it." ”

The young scholar blocked Qin Baiyao and Fan Baotong in a few words, Fan Fuda didn't like words, stood aside coldly, and the atmosphere fell into a helpless stalemate, at this time, Qingqin Qinghe finally couldn't help it, and said in unison: "My son-in-law is only eight buckets high, why should I worship your teacher as a teacher? And what is so good about your wilderness and broken bamboo forest, how can it compare to my Yihua Villa, I advise you to go back immediately and let your master release him quickly, otherwise we are not welcome, when the time comes, we will burn up your bamboo forest, I am afraid that you will regret it too late." ”

Qingqin and Qinghe look exactly the same, generally bright and beautiful, although the words are lawless, but they are delicate and lively, the young scholar didn't know how to answer for a while, first bowed and saluted, and then explained: "This bamboo forest has a formation set by the family teacher, I see that the two girls are not very old, and they should not be able to break this formation, so they are not afraid of the two girls setting fire to the forest." ”

Qin Baiyao muttered, "Sure enough, ......"

Qingqin said: "What about your master's array, doesn't that old man of Chen Guo also want to set up a formation to kill my son-in-law, what is the result?"

The young scholar just smiled and shook his head, and did not answer.

Qin Baiyao secretly pondered for a while, gathered some emotions, and asked, "Mrs. Chen, do you have something to leave for me." ”

The young scholar said, "Mr. Xiao Chen asked me to tell you to 'go first'. ”

Qin Baiyao nodded, and arched his hand: "There is a labor to say." Then he turned around and said to Fan Baotong, Qingqin Qinghe and repeated offerings: "We can't receive Mrs. Chen today, whether he can return to Liang Country smoothly or not, can only rely on himself, we will follow what he said, go back to Liang Kingdom first." ”

Fan Bao channel: "If you come together, you have to go back together." After thinking about it, he said: "That's it, Scholar Qin, Qingqin Qinghe Girl, you will go back to Luzhou with the mission first, and I will stay here and wait for the teacher." ”

Qin Baiyao said: "Leave you here, how can you go back to Fan Gong?"

Fan Baodao: "If you say that I am waiting for the teacher here, grandpa will not blame you." ”

Qin Baiyao still hesitated, Fan Bao channeled: "With me waiting here, after the teacher breaks out of the formation, I can arrange the fastest carriage and horse for him at any time." ”

When Qin Baiyao heard the reason, he had no choice but to agree, and Qingqin Qinghe said, "We both have to stay." ”

Fan Baotong nodded in agreement.

A few people glanced at the bamboo forest a few times, then at the young scholar, and left regretfully.

Li Ruoyu returned to the stone courtyard and told Fang Xu and Jiang Zhong about the meeting with Fan Baotong, Qin Baiyao and others as they were, and Jiang Zhong smiled silently.

After breakfast, Jiang Zhong neither asked the students to learn from them, nor did he debate Li Ruoyu, let alone go back to his room to study, but paced in the stone courtyard with interest.

Fang Xu sat at the table with the scroll, ignoring him, Li Ruoyu finished cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, but glanced at Jiang Zhong a few times, and asked "What is Prince Zhong doing" when pouring tea for the teacher, Fang Xu said: "Measure the length of the four sides of the stone courtyard." ”

Li Ruoyu suddenly smiled and said, "The disciple understands. ”

Jiang Zhong was indeed measuring the length and width of the stone courtyard at this time, but he didn't expect to rely on this alone to break the formation, just out of curiosity and habit, just like the first time he went to the back garden of Fan's Mansion to see Old Lady Fan, he had done something similar. The stone courtyard walked nineteen steps horizontally, and the longitudinal walk was also nineteen steps.

When it was close to noon, the bell rang again, and Fang Xu asked Jiang Zhong as usual, "Who is coming", and Jiang Zhong replied: "It should be an old friend of Chang'an." ”

Li Ruoyu still went out to receive them, it was Yang Qice, Yang Lingyao and Xiang Qi.

"The teacher left Mrs. Xiao Chen to let him forget the trivial matters outside the world, so as to concentrate on Wendao, the three of you, please go back. ”

Li Ruoyu stood by the bamboo forest, gentle, modest and loyal, and politely rejected the three of them, just as he had rejected Fan Baotong and the others before.

Seeing this, Yang Qice roughly guessed the intentions of the Fang family after a little contemplation, and no longer forced Li Ruoyu, and said, "Bring a message to Mr. Xiao Chen for us, a few friends will always be waiting for him outside the bamboo forest." ”

"It must be brought. ”

"Farewell. ”

"I can't send it far. ”

The news that Chen Renzhong was trapped in Wen's hometown spread in Chang'an City, and those scholars were naturally envious when they heard about it, and those high-level figures who already knew that Chen Guo was going to use troops against Liang State in the near future had also captured the intentions of the Fang family, and had to make some changes to some of the previous plans, including Emperor Jiang and Prince Yutang.

"The teacher wants to tame Chen Renzhong for my big ginger. ”

In Jiang Guoyu's study, Emperor Jiang chatted with several important ministers about the matter of the Fang family's stay in Chen, and Gu Hou'an, who had the first right to speak, immediately gave his own explanation.

When Emperor Jiang heard this, he nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Jiang Yutang and said, "Yutang, you will personally go to Wen Gulu in a few days, first, to visit Fang and everyone for me, and secondly, to appease and get close to that Chen Renzhong, so that he will not enter the palace in the future and be inconvenient to control." ”

Yutang bowed down to receive the order.

A minister said: "That Chen is indeed a rare talent, if it can really be used by me, it is really a happy event." ”

Emperor Jiang said: "If you have a way to train in person, how can he resist?"

The ministers should be.

In the envy and envy of more and more students, Jiang Zhong never chatted with Fang Xu or Li Ruoyu about a few words about academic matters, and Fang and Li did not take the initiative to guide or deliberately avoid it. The three of them maintained a subtle tacit understanding.

Jiang Zhong walked around the stone courtyard during the day, looked at the bamboo forest, looked at the distant mountains, and lay in the courtyard at night, looking at the stars and the moon, neither talking about poetry and songs, nor talking about the philosophy of life.

Until the fifth day, Jiang Zhong suddenly asked Li Ruoyu to play the self-made Wenwu lyre, and Li Ruoyu readily agreed.

On the sixth day, Jiang Zhong began to read, but he was just a bored study, and did not communicate with Fang and Li Ruoyu, and Fang and everyone ignored Jiang Zhong these days, reading as usual, making annotations, and discussing poems with Li Ruoyu.

Until the tenth day, it happened that Yang Qice and others came to the bamboo forest together with Fan Baotong and others, and passed the message and letterhead for them through Li Ruoyu, Li Ruoyu seemed to be tired of it and never refused.

Fang Xu took advantage of Li Ruoyu's reception of guests on both sides and asked Jiang Zhong: "After ten days, have you become accustomed to this narrow courtyard?"

Jiang Zhong said: "It's not just a habit, and gradually indulge in it." ”

"So, the people are ready?"

Jiang Zhong shook his head and said: "How dare you say that you are fully prepared, just use the leisure time of these few days to figure out and understand the good intentions of everyone Fang for me, and I am moved, I can't help but want to make an axe in the class, and give it to you with a small article, please ask everyone to be right." ”

Fang Xu laughed and said, "Of course you can." ”

Regarding Jiang Zhong's behavior of being silent for several days, seemingly indifferent, but in fact, thinking hard about the way to break the formation, Fang Xu's hearts are like mirrors, and today he finally took the initiative to break the formation, and he couldn't help but have a curiosity in his heart.

Jiang Zhong abandoned the pen and paper and used a knife and bamboo, and began to engrave with a stroke of Yuyue's courage:

"The mountain is not high, but the name of the immortal. The water is not deep, and if there is a dragon, it will be spiritual. Si is a burrow, but Wu Dexin ......"

A cold and lonely pillar of literary qi suddenly rose, rose into the air, and suddenly the soldiers divided into three ways, one flew to the two mountains behind the house, one landed on the small river in front of the house, and finally the pillar turned into a piece, covering the sky above the stone house.

Fang Xu saw this pillar of literary qi, nodded secretly in admiration, and then read Jiang Zhong's article, and couldn't help but blurt out a "good".

Jiang Zhong continued to engrave: "The moss marks are green on the steps, and the grass is green on the curtains." There is a lot of talk and laughter, and there is no white ding. ”

After these few sentences were engraved, a ball of literary qi flew up, merging with the literary atmosphere covering the sky above the stone house, expanding the covered area a little.

Fang Xu still smiled and praised, and said, "It's over." ”

At this time, Li Ruoyu, Yang Qice, Yang Lingyao and others outside the bamboo forest also saw the vision of Shilu, and Li Ruoyu blurted out: "Mr. Xiao Chen is about to break the formation." After that, he stared at that piece of culture for a moment.

The inscriptions in the stone house continue:

"You can tune the piano and read the Golden Sutra. There is no silk and bamboo, and there is no case. ”

Two groups of literary qi rose into the air in a row, and the literary qi gathered by the "Burrow Ming" above the stone house could already confront the first layer of the Fan Cage Array head-on, but Jiang Zhong firmly controlled the two literary qi with Yuyue Wen courage, his face suddenly became solemn and respectful, and he dropped the words: "Nanyang Zhuge Lu, Xishu Ziyun Pavilion." ”

"Boom~Boom~"

As soon as these two sentences came out, two muffled thunders rolled in the sky, and Jiang Zhong's gathered spirit finally met with the Fan Cage Formation. After the two thunders, suddenly two lightning-like rays of light fell from the sky, stabbing two cracks above the Fan Cage Array, and finally enveloping Jiang Zhong in the same way.

The two great sages of the previous generation, Zhuge Liang and Yang Ziyun, respectively descended to protect Jiang Zhong and help him write the holy words!

Inside the stone house, Fang Xu got up and bowed to the two Wenguang, and outside the bamboo forest, Li Ruoyu and Yang Qice respectively bowed to the ground.

"Confucius: What's ugly?"

The last sentence almost exhausted all of Jiang Zhong's strength, but fortunately, he finally completed the knife:

The word comes out!

"Click, click, click!"

Several scorching thunders suddenly exploded in the sky above the stone courtyard, and then a radiant and dazzling rain of golden light suddenly fell from the sky.

"Tom tom tom!" There were three loud bangs, and the Fan Cage Array finally had nowhere to hide under the holy light, and exploded blatantly.

Fang Xu's face changed color, and he couldn't help coughing a few times.

And all the scribes and students in Chang'an City who saw this holy light all bowed down and bowed.

At the same time, a vision also occurred in the Confucius Temple of Lu State: The three lists of the Luming List, the Apricot List, and the Gold List suddenly shook inexplicably! The deacon who was in charge of taking care of the Confucius Temple today was so frightened that his face changed drastically, and he hurriedly ran to report to the Confucian family, Kong Xiaoru hurried over, and when he saw that the three lists were shaken, he hurriedly turned around and walked out of the Confucius Temple, looked up at the northwest, and said in shock: "Someone asked for the Holy Word!"
