"Transparent but not shining, the water is full of waves? What do you mean? ”

Song Yuanzhen stroked his goatee and looked puzzled.

Lu Yanqing shook his head, also without any ideas, "I think it should be a description of the characteristics of the treasure hiding place." ”

"Well, that makes sense." Song Yuanzhen bowed his head slightly in agreement.

But this description was too vague, and the two of them thought for a while but still made no progress, so they had no choice but to give up.

Song Yuanzhen patted Lu Yanqing's shoulder and whispered with relief, "Unfounded conjectures can only increase your troubles, maybe you can only understand the meaning of these two sentences if you are in the mountains." ”

"Can the Confucian Master go with me tomorrow?"

Although Lu Yanqing didn't know where this map pointed, the things that could be hidden in the belly of the snake demon must have something extraordinary, not to mention that the small wooden tube containing this map was also very exquisite, if there was nothing where this map pointed, Lu Yanqing would never believe it.

Hearing this, Song Yuanzhen's face showed a tangled expression.

He is old, and he has long lost the momentum of his youth; Rushing to such an unpredictable place made him very worried.

Lu Yanqing also saw Song Yuanzhen's embarrassment, and then changed his words with a smile: "Confucian Master, it doesn't matter if you don't want to go, boy, I'm just curious about what is hidden in the place where the map is pointing, and I don't have to go; When Ge Zhutou has free time, I will pull him to accompany me. ”

"Yanqing, you let the old man think about it for one night, and give you an answer tomorrow."

Song Yuanzhen also knew that the place pointed to by this map was very likely to hide an organic fate, and it would be false to say that he was not impressed.

He couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he could only weigh the pros and cons in the evening and reply.

"Yes." Lu Yanqing nodded, "But Confucian Master, you don't have to be reluctant." ”

"Don't worry, the old man knows it." Song Yuanzhen smiled kindly.

The water in the pot has been boiled, Song Yuanzhen came to the stove with a bamboo basket full of snake meat, lifted the lid of the pot and put about a pound of snake meat into the pot, and then pulled some green vegetables and shallots from the small vegetable garden on the side to make auxiliary dishes.

And Lu Yanqing put away the map and the small wooden tube that had been smashed, and waited for Song Yuanzhen to take a look at it after dawn tomorrow, maybe there would be other discoveries.

Of course, these are just later words, what Lu Yanqing is really reluctant to do is the two gems inlaid on the small wooden tube, although he doesn't know the specific price of these two gems, he can exchange them for some silver.

Lu Yanqing has some savings, but who would dislike having a lot of money?

Two quarters of an hour later, with the assistance of Lu Yanqing, Song Yuanzhen finally made the snake broth.

The moment he lifted the lid of the pot, a salty fragrance suddenly came to his face, which made Lu Yanqing couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and he was very surprised in his heart, he didn't expect the fragrance of this snake meat stew to be so gluttonous.

The two of them each served a bowl of snake broth and sat down at the stone table.

Lu Yanqing couldn't wait to drink the snake broth, and couldn't help but praise again and again: "The snake meat is tender but not firewood, and the soup base is fragrant...... How can this snake broth be so delicious? ”

The taste of this snake meat was beyond Lu Yanqing's expectations.

Song Yuanzhen smiled when he heard this, "This is the first time you have eaten demon meat?" ”

"Yes, it's the first time." Lu Yanqing nodded, and took advantage of the gap between the words and did not forget to take a sip.

"This snake demon has entered the demon product, and its cultivation is all by absorbing the qi of heaven and earth, and its flesh will naturally become extremely delicious by the qi of heaven and earth, this is the best ingredient that only high-ranking officials and nobles, rich and powerful gentry can enjoy, and ordinary people may not be able to taste its deliciousness in their lifetime."

Song Yuanzhen's voice was slightly emotional, and he obviously hadn't eaten demon meat a few times.

While drinking, the two discussed the way of Confucianism, which made Lu Yanqing gain a lot.

Lu Yanqing learned from Song Yuanzhen's mouth that Confucianism mainly relied on the power of education.

If you put aside Confucianism, in fact, Confucianism is no different from ordinary people, unless you can cultivate to the realm of Confucianism and sainthood to increase your lifespan by 50 years, which is very different from martial arts, Taoism, and Buddhism.

The cultivation realms of martial arts, Taoism, and Buddha are all divided into one to nine grades, but the names of the grades are different; However, the cultivators of these three schools all have extremely strong personal strength, which makes Confucian cultivators weak since ancient times, and they cannot be compared with them at all.

Fortunately, the courts of all dynasties were active places of Confucianism, and if there was no support from the emperor's family, I am afraid that Confucianism would have disappeared in the long river of history.

As for the matter of Confucianism, Song Yuanzhen knows very little, after all, there are only six Confucian saints in the world today, including Lu Yanqing, which is enough to show how difficult it is to promote Confucianism.

After they were full of wine and food, the two washed up one after another, and then went to the left and right ear rooms to sleep.

Because Ge Changwu's home is far away from the county government, and sometimes he has to be on duty overnight to solve cases, he often comes to Lu Yanqing's house to spend the night, and he doesn't have to clean up Song Yuanzhen's bed anymore.

Lu Yanqing, who was lying on the boat, felt very tired, and fell asleep after a while; And Song Yuanzhen looked at the bright moon outside the window with a thoughtful expression, weighing whether to enter the mountain with Lu Yanqing.

……

Chu Jing, Si Tianjian underground.

Jin Houcheng and Meng Feixi circled down the stone steps, and soon went down to the end of the stone steps.

The two walked into a corridor, which was arched and neatly excavated, and the top was inlaid with white chalcedony fluorite, emitting a slightly miserable white light to illuminate the surroundings.

The corridor is long and narrow, and from time to time there are colleagues in the same costume passing by, the two of them just gesture to them slightly, and do not say anything, the whole corridor is very silent, only the footsteps are whispering.

After a short time, the two of them came to the door at the end of the corridor and gently knocked on the door.

"The master apprentice is back!"

Meng Feixi beckoned to the door, her voice slightly excited.

As soon as the words fell, I only heard a "squeak", and the heavy black stone door should have opened, and the stone door closed automatically after the two of them stepped into it.

The room was very spacious, but there was only one white chalcedony fluorite embedded in the dome, which was not enough to illuminate the whole room.

Meng Feixi looked around and saw a white-haired old man in a black robe standing in front of the window, looking out of the window of the black hole.

"Master, why are you looking at this black hole again?"

Meng Feixi came to the old man's side and asked out loud in confusion.

As she spoke, Meng Feixi subconsciously looked down at the window, only to see that the darkness below was bottomless, no different from usual.

Hearing this, the old man came back to his senses and couldn't help but smile, turned around and whispered to Meng Feixi, "Feixi, your cultivation is still shallow, and when you break through the Manifestation Realm, you will know what the teacher is looking at." ”

"Manifestation?" Meng Feixi frowned, and for a while he couldn't think of how many realms this Holy Realm was, so he crossed his fingers and checked: "Metamorphosis, Enlightenment, Soul Building, Condensation, and Cutting ...... Chop the mind, chop the ......"

Seeing that Meng Feixi couldn't figure it out, Jin Houcheng on the side answered in a deep voice: "Cutting thoughts, entering the Dao, and manifesting saints, this realm of manifesting saints is the realm of seven-grade Dao cultivation, you don't have to forget." ”

"Got it." Meng Feixi replied with some embarrassment, and it could be seen that Meng Feixi was very convinced of Jin Houcheng.

"By the way, Scarlet, what did you gain from going to slay the demon today?" The old man asked with a smile on his behalf.

At the mention of this, Meng Feixi pouted very displeasedly, "Master, don't mention it, I haven't been able to kill the demon at all today, so I'm busy in vain." ”

"Oh? What happened? ”

The old man was a little interested, and Meng Feixi spoke out in 1510, which also had ingredients of adding oil and vinegar, but Jin Houcheng did not debunk it.

"Young Confucian Saint?" The old man couldn't help but be slightly stunned after listening to Lu Yanqing's deeds, and then looked at Jin Houcheng on the side.

"That's right, it's indeed a young Confucian saint, I've verified it." Jin Houcheng nodded in affirmation, "His sentence 'pulling out the mountain and covering the world' can be described as an ancient and modern quatrain, and it does have the posture of a Confucian saint." ”

"Pull out the mountains and cover the world? What a sentence to pull out the mountain and cover the world! Compared to the two in the court, it is even better. ”

The old man's words were full of admiration, and this high evaluation made Jin Hou Cheng a little unexpected.

"Does that mean to solicit? If that kid can cultivate Confucianism and Confucianism, the future can be said to be limitless. ”

In this world, if you have to evaluate the strongest person, it must be a double cultivation of the Nine Rank Confucian Sage.

Although Confucianism itself does not have too strong combat power, if it can achieve dual cultivation, it can use Confucianism to bless itself and weaken the opponent.

Hearing this, the old man lowered his head and pondered for a while, then shook his head with a little meaning, and said softly: "There are countless geniuses in the world, but there are only a few people who can really win the championship, do you know why?" ”

"I don't know what I do."

"That's because the luck of heaven and earth is limited, everything in the world has a fixed number, and Confucian luck can only give birth to five Confucian saints at most, and the appearance of that kid will break this luck, which means that one person will fall out of the realm of Confucian saints; If you were one of the five Confucian saints, what would you do? ”

The old man's words instantly woke up Jin Houcheng, and Jin Houcheng suddenly showed solemnity and bowed his hand slightly: "Be taught by your humble position." ”

Meng Feixi on the side was a little confused, and asked out with a little curiosity: "Master, what will you do?" ”

Looking at himself as a very cute apprentice, the old man smiled kindly, looked at the abyss outside the window with his hands and did not answer.

……

Early the next morning, Lu Yanqing was woken up by the morning light outside the window, and a crispy numbness suddenly swept through his body, forcing Lu Yanqing to lie on the bed without moving.

Lu Yanqing didn't care about this, and after a while, his body regained his movement, and after getting out of bed, he began to wash and dress.

But just as he yawned and lifted his pants, he only heard a "zila", and his pants were torn by him, which made Lu Yanqing look confused.

I didn't make much effort, how could these pants be torn by myself?

Lu Yanqing changed another pair of pants, but they were still torn, which made Lu Yanqing complain about the quality of the pants.

Although the quality of the pants is not good, you can't wear them without it.

So when wearing the third pair of pants, Lu Yanqing lightly lifted the pants, so that the pants were not torn.

If these pants are also torn, then Lu Yanqing can only be bare-assed.
