After separating from Liu Ying, the first thing Lin Yan had to do was to find his little donkey.

The fool successfully "escaped" from the encirclement of the bandits after hearing Lin Yan's shout, but in fact, they didn't pay attention to it at all.

After that, Lin Yan quickly returned to rescue Liu Ying and others, and later killed the Quartet, and a series of things happened.

Normally, with this fool's footsteps, he shouldn't have been able to go too far, but Lin Yan didn't see it when he returned.

Where did this go?

Lin Yan searched for it for a long time before he finally saw it in a vegetable field in the northwest.

When Lin Yan panted and found it, this thing was chewing vegetable leaves in someone's vegetable field, the two thick lips were running in left and right, squinting his eyes, indescribably comfortable.

The corners of Lin Yan's eyes twitched slightly, he was fighting life and death outside, this fool would really enjoy it!

Then, he looked left and right, but fortunately, there was no one, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

Then he hurried three steps and two steps, stepped forward and grabbed the reins of the little donkey and pulled it out, this thing was holding his head, and his mouth was still chewing vegetable leaves, and he was able to get rid of a starving ghost!

Lin Yan hated that iron could not become steel, and roared in a low voice: "Eat, eat, eat, you fool knows how to eat!" Later, the old farmer in this field will come, and see if they don't pull you vegetable thief to stew!" ”

When the little donkey heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and his mouth, which was still chewing before, slowed down.

"Wouldn't it? Can this fool really understand me! Lin Yan thought silently in his heart.

As soon as he thought of this, he continued to "follow the temptation" and said: "I heard that people here like to drink donkey broth the most, and that's a big supplement!"

This time, the little donkey's chewing mouth stopped moving, and his squinted eyes opened, and his eyes looked at him in a daze.

Seeing the little donkey like this, Lin Yan felt that there was a play, so he continued to add a fire, and said: "As the saying goes, 'dragon meat in the sky, donkey meat on the ground', people say that taste...... Tut-tut! ”

Lin Yan described it vividly, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva uncontrollably after speaking.

The little donkey was directly frightened, and the next moment it suddenly exerted its strength, and rushed out like a black arrow off the string, leaving Lin Yan alone in the wind.

I'll go, does it work so well?

Just as he was in a daze, a loud shout suddenly sounded from behind him: "Phew! Where did the thief come from, dare to steal my vegetables! Looking for a fight! ”

As soon as Lin Yan turned around, he saw an old farmer dressed in short sleeves and half cedar, wearing a white towel and a broken straw hat not far away, holding a hoe in his hand, and rushed over in the direction of Lin Yan angrily.

"I'm a mother! It's a hell of a thing! ”

Xiao Lin Yan screamed, and chased in the direction where the little donkey ran away before, shouting: "Fool, wait for me!"

……

finally got rid of the old farmer, and Lin Yan finally succeeded in catching up with the foolish goods who ran away before.

This person who had killed the bandits just now was chased so embarrassed by an old farmer in the mountains, and there was no one else!

But who is going to let their side lose!

Lin Yan looked at the little donkey with a resentful look while thinking about it, but the latter ignored him and pursed his thick lips disdainfully, as if to say: "What's the matter with me!"

"Hey! I'm grumpy! ”

Lin Yan was about to fight, but the little donkey saw that the situation was not good, so he was immediately ready to pull his legs and run wildly again.

Seeing this, Lin Yan could only admit defeat, he had just experienced a big battle under the control of Qiu Lao, and then he was chased by the angry old farmer for a long time, and his body was sore and his back hurt, and he really couldn't stand the toss!

"Good brother, let's not make trouble, okay?" Lin Yan said helplessly.

The little donkey shook his head incomprehensibly, which clearly meant to say: You made trouble first!

Then, Lin Yan pulled the reins and was about to ride a donkey on the road, but this fool was not allowed to ride, and he was still remembering the previous events!

Lin Yan coaxed him and promised to go to the town to buy him carrots to eat, so he reluctantly let Lin Yan ride on his back.

"Finally a break!" Lin Yan thought so in his heart, then looked down at the little donkey under him, and thought, "Where is this mount?" It's clearly a living ancestor! ”

"Drive!"

Lin Yan shouted, and rode a little donkey towards the southeast.

Gaoyang County, where Liu Ying and the others were going before, was due east, and this road leading straight to Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Kingdom, was also the best section of the road.

The road to the southeast is not easy to walk, the further south you go, the closer you get to Nanban, especially at the junction of the two countries, the fish and dragons are mixed, and for ordinary people, the danger factor also rises sharply.

The cultivation route formulated by Lin Yan and Qiu Lao before was to walk in the southeast direction after leaving Huangshi City, all the way to the junction of the two countries, and then turn back to Chang'an and enter the "Sage Academy".

This "Sage Academy" is not simple, but it is a sacred place of Confucianism. Unlike Taoist ancestral courts and Buddhist sects, Confucianism does not have a hierarchical sect, but rather focuses on creating a relaxed learning atmosphere.

The "Sage Academy" was born from this, adhering to the concept of "preaching, teaching and solving doubts" to recruit disciples all over the world.

Whether you were born into a poor family or a wealthy family; Whether you are a yellow-mouthed child or an old man; Even if you are from the Tang Kingdom or from a foreign country.

As long as you have a studious heart, you are eligible to take the entrance examination of the "Sage Academy".

Under the guidance of the legacy of the sages of the past dynasties, bathed in the ocean of knowledge and absorbing the wisdom of the ancestors, students can avoid detours and succeed one step faster!

Everyone in the world knows that as long as you enter the "Sage Academy", you will have one foot in the door of success.

Take today's Eastern Tang Dynasty and the opposition as an example, more than half of the officials have been fortunate to have studied in the "Sage Academy", and even the current prime minister who leans towards the government and the opposition is no exception, and the influence of the academy can be seen!

But you think that the "Sage Academy" will only cultivate some sour literati, that is wrong.

In addition to the world-famous Confucianism, Confucianism also produced many amazing masters, these people have their own arrogance and temper, and no one obeys anyone on weekdays, but these people are only the "Sage Philosophy Academy" horse head.

The so-called "Confucian Six Arts" are etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics.

Etiquette is etiquette, music is music, shooting is shooting and riding technology, royal is the technique of driving a carriage, calligraphy is calligraphy, and counting is counting.

Among them, "shooting" and "royal" account for two-thirds, which shows that Confucianism can never be just a simple group of scholars.

Moreover, almost all Confucian disciples wear swords, and there have been many sword immortals in the world in history, all of which show that Confucianism has the strength to compete with Taoism and Buddhism!

Lin Yan's destination this time was chosen in the "Sage Academy", mainly because he inherited the mantle of the previous leaders of the Momen.

Qiu Lao thought that the collapse of Momen was inseparable from the three families of Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism, and this time it was for practice, after all, the "Sage Academy" was famous, and it was possible to obtain good learning conditions by successfully passing the admission examination; The second is to "close to the water" to facilitate the investigation of the truth of the events of the year.

As for why I didn't choose Daomen and Buddhism, it was mainly because the identity review of Daomen was too strict, and it was not easy to get in; And Buddhism is quite welcome, but Lin Yan is not willing to be a little monk at a young age.

Thinking about it, open and inclusive Confucianism can only be the best choice.

Of course, in addition to helping Lin Yan cultivate, the most important thing is to take back a lost skill in Momen - "Thousands of Changes"!

Everyone in the world knows that the Momen was famous for its ever-changing tricks, but with the collapse of the sect, the magical tricks were lost!

"Qiu Lao, wouldn't you be so 'changeable'?" Lin Yan asked.

"Nonsense! If I knew, why bothered to find it? Qiu Lao's impatient voice sounded in Lin Yan's heart.

Then he said: "The collapse of the sect back then was too sudden, the elder of the 'Refining Hall' in my sect, Mo Shenji, is the most amazing and brilliant mechanism magician in recent decades, and the 'Thousand Variations of Mechanism' has been studied very thoroughly by him, and he has played even more superbly with the mechanism technique in one hand!"

"It's a pity, when the sect was besieged, I learned from the enemy that he had been intercepted and killed by many masters when he was out on a mission, and this town was at the junction of the Tang Kingdom and the Southern Barbarians."

Lin Yan couldn't help but feel worried when he heard this, there are so many small villages and towns at the junction of the two countries, there is no specific location, so it's not a needle in a haystack to look for it!

Qiu Lao looked at his worried appearance, and also knew that this general direction was a bit unreliable.

But no matter how difficult it is, he has to find it, since he has inherited the mantle of his master, he has naturally inherited the hatred of the sect, and the enemies he will face in the future will only be stronger than the other.

Now, if you can find one more means, you will have a better chance of winning against the enemy in the future.

Just as Lin Yan was riding on the little donkey and thinking, the sky had gradually darkened, and before he knew it, one person and one donkey had been walking for most of the day.

At this time, the little donkey became more and more listless, spewing white rough air from its big nostrils from time to time, and Lin Yan's stomach also gurgled, it was time to rest and rest!

As soon as Lin Yan looked up, he found that something seemed to be shining not far away, and as he gradually got closer, he saw clearly that it seemed to be the lights of a small town.

Lin Yan said happily to the little donkey under him: "Fool, go quickly!" Wait until you get into town to buy carrots for you to eat! ”

When the little donkey heard this, his eyes lit up, and he carried Lin Yan with saliva and galloped towards the town.

"Foolish! Be steady, be steady! Lin Yan was uncomfortable and kept shouting.

Waiting for them to go away, a gust of wind blew, and a stone tablet was exposed in the weeds beside the road, on which were crookedly written "Nai He Town" in several blood-red characters.

By the time they entered the town, it was already dark. Lin Yan rode a little donkey on the road in the town, looked at the empty road, and thought, "It's strange! Why is there no one on this street? ”

Walking and walking, Lin Yan saw a small inn on the side of the road, and after a closer look, the plaque seemed to say something "Spring Inn", he smiled, this shopkeeper is still a cultural person!

Then he dismounted from the donkey, took the reins and slammed the door a few times, while shouting, "Shopkeeper!" Open the door! ”

After waiting for a while, the door squeaked open, and a middle-aged man walked out.

He was wearing a dark brown diagonal robe and a square crown on top of it, and appeared in front of Lin Yan.

This person looks very bad, looks very pale, and the dark circles under his eyes are a little heavy, he is listless, and the whole person looks a little dumb.

"Hey! Shopkeeper, why did it take so long to open the door? Lin Yan looked up at him and asked.

The man didn't answer his question, looked down at him and asked, "Is there anything wrong with the little guest officer?"

"Oh, I want to stay in a hotel, please let the shopkeeper open a room for me, it doesn't have to be too expensive, just a normal one. Also, my donkey will help me feed it. Lin Yan replied.

The man smiled, revealing a mouthful of pitch-black teeth, which looked a little weird, and he said, "Please come in the little guest officer!"

Although Lin Yan felt that something was wrong, he really had nowhere else to go at such a late hour, so he led the donkey in.

As the gate slowly closed again, the white banner that had been blown up by the wind fell to the ground, and the word "spring" appeared in front of it again.

That's a "yellow" word......
