When Yi Chen returned to the small courtyard, he found that there was a stranger, it was an old man in a Confucian robe, who was picking vegetables with Wen Bo. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Fang Zhiyu hung behind the two of them, like a little scholar, carrying a vegetable basket full of various vegetables.

Nourished by the rich aura, the vegetables grow abundantly and taste very fragrant.

After the three of them saw Yi Chen, Wen Bo and Fang Zhiyu put down the work in their hands and bowed.

The old man in the Confucian robe patted the dirt on his hands and said with a smile: "Introduce yourself, Kong Qiu, don't mind if I take the liberty of disturbing it, right?"

Yi Chen was stunned for a moment!

Kongqiu?

It seems that the dean of the Starry Sky Academy, who sees the head and the tail of the dragon, is called Kong Qiu.

Suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly saluted: "Lord Dean!"

Then he smiled and said: "The dean is here, and the humble house is shining!"

He couldn't help but think that in Cangfeng City that day, when the previous generation of Asura appeared, Kong Qiu had appeared, but he had always turned his back to him and failed to see him.

Kong Qiu waved his hand and smiled, "Don't fix these clichés. I'm here today, just a greedy old man, not a dean...... And, here's where you ...... say."

Forgetting to glance at Wen Bo, Kong Qiu said again: "If it weren't for you, the young master, to speak, Wen Bo wouldn't have cooked easily...... Calculate carefully, it's been more than ten years since the last time I cooked......"

Wen Bo smiled slightly, his eyes on Yi Chen's body, as if he was really waiting for Yi Chen's order.

Yi Chen bowed slightly to Wen Bo: "Wen Bo, it's trouble!"

Wen Bo smiled: "Young master is polite, this is what the old slave should do." ”

Then, he said to Fang Zhiyu: "Xiao Fang, come and give me a hand!"

Fang Zhiyu nodded obediently, followed behind Wen Bo with the food basket, and walked towards the kitchen.

He didn't expect that he would be able to meet the legendary Dean, who was still so amiable. When the dean greeted him, he was stunned for a long time and forgot to salute. Fortunately, the dean didn't care about these redundant things, but rubbed his head kindly.

Kong Qiu smiled: "Would you like to talk to me, an old man?"

Yi Chen said: "It's an honor!"

The two of them found a ridge and sat on the ground.

Kong Qiu plucked a grass and put it in his mouth, and sighed: "How many years have passed, I can't imagine that I will have the opportunity to sit on the ridge and chat with people......"

Yi Chen said: "As the head of the first hospital, he is busy with affairs, and it is indeed not easy to have such an opportunity. ”

Kong Qiu waved his hand, looked at Yi Chen and said, "It has nothing to do with affairs, what matters is people!"

Yi Chen smiled bitterly: "You are too uplifting a kid, right?"

Kong Qiu smiled slightly: "In your opinion, it may be a lift, but in the eyes of an old man like me, it is an equal dialogue." The level of strength and status does not determine the level of two people. As for me, I'm just an old man who has lived for a few more years, because of the accumulation of time, I know more and have higher strength. The rest is really nothing. And if you're my age, your accomplishments won't stop there...... So, put everything aside, you're Yi Chen, I'm Kongqiu, that's all......"

Yi Chen said: "Teachable!"

Kong Qiu's thoughts fluttered, as if he had returned to the past, and muttered: "At the beginning, I was just a poor scholar, working at sunrise and returning at sunset, and living a dull little life with my mother-in-law at home. I never had the luxury of expecting anything, nor did I strive for anything, and I only read the books of the sages. But I didn't expect that this reading could still make a name for itself, and it was only then that I had today's achievements...... But when you think about it, it seems that you have gained a lot, but in fact you have lost more. The mother-in-law with a knife mouth and a tofu heart is gone, the one-third of an acre of land is gone, and the villagers are gone, leaving me alone in this world...... It's not that I didn't want to go with them, but the burden on my shoulders didn't allow me to do this, and no matter how lonely I was, I had to grit my teeth and hold on, because every grass and tree here needed me...... If I am gone, the Starry Sky Academy will be scattered, and those reading seeds will be destroyed...... This means that with great power comes great responsibility......"

Kongqiu's bland narration is like talking about something that has nothing to do with him. But Yi Chen could feel the tiredness and entanglement hidden under the blandness, as well as countless confusions......

The world thinks that Confucius is a saint and should not have the shortcomings of the laity. But they forgot that saints are also human beings, but they know more and see through them, but they have not departed from the category of human beings after all.

As if realizing that he had said a little too much, Kong Qiu smiled apologetically: "When people are old, they like to talk a little more, don't blame you!"

Yi Chen said with a smile: "The thoughts of the wise man have benefited a lot!"

Kong Chu laughed, obviously very fond of the obscure slapping behavior.

"What did you gain from spending seven days in the Library Pavilion?" asked Kongqiu.

Yi Chen was stunned at first, but he didn't expect that what he did was seen by Kong Qiu, and then said: "To paraphrase the two sentences of the ancients: there is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book; ”

Kong Qiu nodded, with a look of approval: "Yes, I just hope you keep this good habit all the time." Spiritual practice is important, but reading is also part of spiritual practice. Just imagine, if a person with high strength lacks virtue, what should he do?"

Yi Chen said in a deep voice: "For the sake of the world!"

Kong Qiu sighed: "Yes, such a person is a great disaster in the world. That's why I never gave up. If all the people in the world are full of poetry and books, and become that humble gentleman, how can there be so many partings of life and death? How can such a beautiful mountain and river be so smoky and miasma?"

Yi Chen was in awe, this is a wise man's dream, and he is working hard to realize it.

It's just that this dream is too unrealistic......

But even if it is an unrealistic dream, it is still possible to come true.

The premise is to work hard.

Kong Qiu took out a jade plaque from his arms, handed it to Yi Chen, and said, "The first time we meet, it will be regarded as a meeting gift for you!"

Without waiting for Yi Chen to refuse, Kong Qiu stuffed the jade plate to Yi Chen, pointed to the misty Starry Sky Tower in the distance, and laughed in a low voice: "This is the key to the top floor of the Starry Sky Tower......

As soon as Yi Chen reached his mouth, he swallowed back the words.

This jade plaque was something he had always dreamed of.

I didn't expect it to be so easy.

Kong Qiu got up, patted the dirt on his buttocks, walked towards Xiaolou, picked a cucumber on the way, rubbed off the white thorns on the cucumber with his hands, took a bite, crunchy, and said with a smile: "People live, the important thing is not what they lose, but what they gain, just like this cucumber in my hand, which makes me very happy......

Yi Chen's expression was stunned and fell into deep thought......
