Chapter 119: Three Factions

In the lobby, every Confucian changed his face slightly, and his eyes were even more surprised.

This move made the young man who had just reported the news even more curious.

After all, I have never seen that these gentlemen in front of me will show such a gaffe, although I didn't receive that Mr. Song, and I was the first to get there, but it won't be like this, right?

"You go down first." At this time, Xu Yuan Daru looked at the young scholar and spoke.

"Yes."

The latter was stunned, although he didn't know what was happening.

But since even the Great Confucian has spoken, naturally he should not stay here anymore.

Soon, there were only five great Confucians of the Southern School of Confucianism left in the lobby, and in addition to the three in Ningping, there were two more.

"Song Xiaoyou was picked up by someone from the Zongsheng lineage, although there won't be any problems, but you say, will they do something during this period? After all, the Longyuan Conference will be held soon. ”

After thinking for a moment, Xu Yuan Daru spoke, with a little worry in his eyes.

Although there is a high probability that the Zongsheng lineage will be able to come out on top in this Dragon Source Conference, there are several quite outstanding young people under him.

But Song Zhishu is different after all, he is a person who has come up with the way of university, maybe the other party will definitely do more in order to be on the safe side.

Indeed, although each family came up with new doctrines at the Longyuan Conference, they were all above board.

But he didn't say that he couldn't do anything in private.

"Probably not."

Ning Ping Daru shook his head: "The person who picked up Song Xiaoyou this time is Mr. Cen, he is highly respected and the elder of all of us, and the Longyuan Conference is close at hand, and he will not ignore the righteousness." ”

Cen Xingyuan's seniority is very high, more than ninety percent of the great Confucians, and he is the leader of the Zongsheng lineage, it can be said that every move is concerned, in this case, just to get the first place in the Longyuan Conference, he will be a little too much, all the people present are scholars, and the more people who know Dali, the more they care about etiquette, righteousness and shame, after all, it is too disgraceful to do so.

"I think Brother Ning Ping is right, Mr. Cen should not make such a move, so our worries are unnecessary."

Li Jingdaru agreed with this point of view and felt that there were some things that could not be overthought.

And the words of these two people also made the other three Confucians present nod, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief, they were worried that it was indeed because of this conference, which was held by the Confucianists of the Nainan faction, and they also wanted their own veins to prosper, and Song Zhishu was the top priority.

Therefore, after hearing that he was picked up by people from other schools, he couldn't help but feel a little out of shape, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that he was thinking too much.

The more times like this, the more you have to be stable.

"So what do we do next?"

At this time, Xu Yuan Daru spoke: "Mr. Cen is an elder, and now that he has taken Song Xiaoyou, we can only wait now." ”

The other party was waiting at the gate of the city in an upright manner, according to Confucian etiquette, even if they wanted to see Song Zhishu, they needed to wait for the two sides to finish talking first.

"I didn't expect that you still feel that nothing will happen, the so-called gentleman will do everything, don't you still know the seriousness of the situation now?"

It was at this time that an old figure appeared from outside the door and walked directly into the lobby, this is an old man, with a somewhat rickety figure, dressed in black, on crutches, and his beard and hair are white, but his eyes seem to be able to see through everything, containing infinite knowledge.

"Master Zeng, why are you here?"

And when Ning Ping Daru and the others saw the old man, they were immediately shocked, and then without any hesitation, they all walked out and bowed.

Zeng Yong, the leader of the Southern School of Confucianism, was the enlightener of Ningping Confucianism and Guyun Confucianism, and his status was the same as Cen Xingyuan.

Among the Confucian scholars, he is one of the top Confucians.

So after he appeared, several people present did not dare to slack off, and they all showed respectful expressions.

It's just what the other party said, but Li Jing and the others were a little puzzled, and after saluting, Ning Ping couldn't help asking: "Master Zeng, aren't you in retreat?" And what do you mean by that sentence just now? ”

What is the gravity of the situation today?

Although they are all great Confucians, they don't understand this in their hearts.

"Hmph."

Zeng Yong snorted coldly and spoke directly: "If I go on retreat again, I don't know what will happen." ”

"Listening to what you said just now, is it Song Xiaoyou who has been picked up by Cen Xingyuan's old guy?"

As soon as these words came out, several Confucians couldn't help but show helplessness.

I can call Mr. Shum that.

I'm afraid that in the whole world, there are only a few people who have Zeng Shi.

Of course, they didn't dwell too much on this, but nodded: "That's right, it was indeed picked up by Mr. Cen." ”

This sentence made Zeng Yong take a deep breath, and then he didn't say much, just said: "In this case, you can go to Yunzhou Academy with me." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and left the lobby.

"Zengshi."

In the end, Ning Ping opened his mouth and couldn't help but say: "Now that Mr. Cen is with Song Xiaoyou, there must be something to talk about between the two, if we go over like this, I'm afraid it's not good." ”

In any case, Confucian etiquette should also be observed, right?

"When have you been talking about these unnecessary courtesies?"

Zeng Yong directly opened his mouth and scolded, looking at several great Confucians, as if reprimanding students: "Wait any longer, Song Xiaoyou is afraid that he has entered the lineage of the sect, who do you think Cen Xingyuan is?" Song Xiaoyou is a person who has realized the way of university, he is a real genius, and he has the posture of a saint, in this case, Cen Xingyuan will let it go? ”

"After the Zongsheng sat down, the various university factions rose together, and they all cultivated their own talents, and the Zongsheng lineage was suppressed, and they were trying to take this opportunity to let themselves have another saint in the lineage, and Song Xiaoyou must have been noticed by them."

The voice fell.

Ning Ping and several great Confucians, all of whom showed a look of astonishment.

They originally thought that Song Zhishu was invited to Yunzhou Academy by Cen Xingyuan for the Longyuan Conference.

But thinking about the other party's person, he shouldn't do this, but now, Zeng Shi actually proposed that the other party wanted Song Zhishu to transfer to the Zongsheng lineage.

For a moment, several great Confucians were a little incredulous.

"This Zeng Shi, this shouldn't be possible, right?"

Xu Yuan didn't think about this problem, and continued: "Everyone in the world knows that Song Xiaoyou is a Confucian from my southern school, and there is the friendship between Brother Gu Yun and Brother Wen Yuan, even if Song Xiaoyou faces an invitation, he should refuse." ”

Although Song Zhishu didn't have much contact with the people present, and he hadn't even seen anyone, he still believed in him.

Especially Ning Ping, he understood that the other party was in the Taihao Sword Sect at the beginning, and he came out for a group of low-level disciples.

From this point of view, you can understand what kind of person Song Zhishu is.

will never be transferred to the sect because of Cen Xingyuan's words or two.

"What if Cen Xingyuan takes out the Zongsheng Codex? And give a promise that Song Xiaoyou can embark on the path of a Confucian sage? ”

Zeng Yong opened his mouth and said in a deep voice: "Don't think that Cen Xingyuan will not do that, and after the Zongsheng sat down, he also left some means for the Zongsheng, plus Song Xiaoyou's saint posture, and his desire to seek the Tao, will he agree?" ”

"You know, if Cen Xingyuan really did this, imagine how many people in the world would not be moved?"

Take out the Sacred Codex?

After hearing this, Ning Ping and the others finally knew the seriousness of the matter.

Yes, what scholar would refuse to follow the path of a saint?

Although they believe that Song Zhishu is a person who can stick to his heart, the temptation is too great, and there are things left by the saint, as long as they get it, it is conceivable that the other party will reach a higher realm in a very short time.

Coupled with his talent, it is not difficult to become a saint.

"The Dragon Source Conference is nothing, but the meaning of the saint is completely different, it is related to the dispute over the path of each school, Cen Yuanxing knows the meaning, I understand him, as long as it is possible, he will definitely do it, now, do you still think, this is a trivial matter?"

Zeng Yong continued to speak, word by word, to let Lord Ning Ping and the others know how serious the matter was.

It is true that among the Southern Confucianism, there are also a few good seedlings.

But compared to Song Zhishu, it is still too much worse.

It must be known that the other party has entered the realm of Confucian gentlemen not long ago, and today there are few who can compare.

In addition, the southern Confucianism is now weak, and it urgently needs someone to save the decline, and Song Zhishu is the best and the only candidate for them now.

As the leader of the Southern Confucian faction, how could Zeng Yong sit still in this situation?

"Okay, let's go now."

Ning Ping Daru and others also knew that this was not a temporary dispute, and it was related to the future of each of their schools, and they had to be solemnly treated.

Even if it is possible that they think too much, no matter what, this kind of thing cannot happen.

Several other Confucians have no opinion on this.

Then, under the leadership of Zeng Yong, everyone left the Southern Confucian station.

At the same time, on the other side.

Because Cen Xingyuan personally led the way, not long after, Song Zhishu and his entourage came to Yunzhou Academy.

Yunzhou Academy, a place that people all over the world yearn for, but Song Zhishu stood in front of the door, but found that this academy was not special, it was about the same as an ordinary academy, it was nothing more than a little bigger, and standing outside, you could vaguely see the buildings inside.

Of course, the difference is that he can still feel that there is an extremely pure Confucian righteousness in it, faintly rushing into the nine heavens.

Studying in such a place, even people who have not been exposed to Confucianism can be enlightened in a short period of time.

"Song Xiaoyou, let's go in and have a look."

Cen Xingyuan had a full view of Song Zhishu's performance, and he couldn't help but be a little more sure about what he was going to do next, so he thought about inviting the other party into the academy, and when the time came, he could tell the real purpose.

"Okay."

In this regard, Song Zhishu naturally would not refuse.

"Wait."

But at this moment, a voice came, attracting everyone's attention.

I saw that not far away, there was a line of scholars dressed in Confucian clothes coming over, there were old people, there were young people, and they all entered the realm, especially the old man who was the leader, his breath was not much weaker than Cen Xingyuan.

"The king's line?" Next to him, Chen Jingyun couldn't help but open his mouth when he saw this.

After Song Zhishu heard it, after thinking about it for a while, he immediately knew that the Wang faction, in the mouth of Mr. Cheng Hong before, was a school that had recently risen, backed by the Great Zhou Dynasty, and among the major Confucian schools, its strength could be compared with the Zongsheng lineage.

It is also one of the two most popular schools that won the first prize at this Longyuan Conference.

And Cen Xingyuan was slightly shocked after seeing this scene.

He knew it was going to be difficult.
