At this time, in the capital of the Great Qi Kingdom, Qi Zixiao was taken away by Nihuang, left the Zhenling Tower, and returned to the courtyard where he was.

Li Baiyi and Jun Wanli are all here, and they are still playing chess.

Seeing the two coming back, they all turned their heads and greeted them with a smile.

"Zixiao, you're back."

Qi Zixiao also responded with a smile, standing aside, watching the chess game, Li Baiyi's chess style opened and closed, and soon, Jun Wanli was defeated.

"Zixiao, it's my first time in Shangjing, you can go out with me."

Jun Wanli threw away the chess pieces and spoke.

"It's okay, I'm also a little curious about this Shangjing."

Qi Zixiao smiled and promised to come down, even if the other party didn't say it, he would go out for a walk, and he would also go to find out about his sister's whereabouts.

"Since you're all going, I'll be with you."

Li Baiyi said.

"Qingdu, you guys just wait here."

Qi Zixiao looked at Chen Qingdu, the other party had no interest in going out, he just wanted to sharpen his sword.

Therefore, Chen Qingdu happily agreed.

Qi Zixiao, Nihuang, Jun Wanli, and Li Baiyi left the night watchman's headquarters and walked on the streets of Shangjing.

At this time, night fell, but this unbroken divine city was lit up by thousands of lights, shining like day.

There are many shops and customers.

The shouting, shouting, and laughter all converged, and countless images came to mind.

Nihuang pulled Qi Zixiao, with a touch of excitement in his eyes, looking at the small stall of a candy man, his eyes suddenly lit up, he took two steps forward, and said, "Boss, take two." ”

"Okay."

The old man who pinched the candy man immediately took out two and handed them to Nihuang, "Thank you, girl, a total of ten wen." ”

"No need to look for it."

Qi Zixiao took out a piece of broken silver and threw it directly to the old man.

The old man took the broken silver, hurriedly thanked him, and took two more and handed them to Qi Zixiao.

Li Baiyi and Jun Wanli are also each holding a candy man.

The four of them walked down the road, each eating a candy man, looking a little funny.

Although it is Shangjing here, it does not mean that there are no ordinary people, many people are ordinary people, and they don't even have a little cultivation, but it is rare to see people running rampant here.

Along the way, the law and order was ridiculously good.

The thieves didn't see one.

When they passed a place, they saw a huge academy with four big characters on the plaque at the door.

"Kinoshita Gakumiya"

Looking at these big words, Qi Zixiao was suddenly taken aback, "This is the holy place for students in the world, where the Holy Ancestor is located." ”

Just looking at these four big characters, Qi Zixiao felt a wave of literary and Taoist aura coming, and seemed to see a Confucian sage standing in the long river of history.

"It is said that in the Jixia School Palace, there are seventy-two Confucians alone, and each of them is a study that has passed through the heavens and the earth."

Li Baiyi said in a deep voice, "For every imperial examination, the imperial court has to invite the great Confucian of the Jixia School Palace to be the examiner. ”

"As for the Holy Ancestor, I haven't been asking about the School Palace for a long time, and some people even rumor that he has traveled all over the world."

"Why don't we go in and have a look."

Jun Wanli opened his mouth with interest.

finally came to Beijing, and he naturally wanted to see the legendary Confucian holy land.

"Let's go."

Qi Zixiao opened his mouth and said.

Saying that, they walked before and came to the gate of the school palace, where a few scholars were standing, watching them come forward, and were about to speak, but the next moment their faces changed slightly, and then they retreated and didn't say anything more.

Qi Zixiao and the four of them directly entered this school palace.

"Senior brother, was Mr. Big talking to us just now?"

A scholar whispered in shock.

A hint of complexity flashed in the eyes of another scholar, "It seems that these people have a terrible background, and even Mr. Big has been alarmed, so let's not be nosy." ”

At this time, walking in the school palace, Qi Zixiao and others saw countless rockeries and flowing waters, as well as schools.

It's like a academy, it's just a world.

On the way, they saw many Confucian students dressed in white, some were playing in a boat, some were climbing high and looking into the distance, and some were playing chess in the pavilion.

Although they don't know each other, both sides nod with a smile when they meet.

When they passed by a garden, they saw two Confucian scholars sitting opposite each other, and one of the Confucian students smiled and said, "I have a pair of upper couplets here, I wonder if Brother Wang can make the lower couplet?" ”

As he spoke, he spoke, "The hook is old, the hook is the test, the old test is the child, and the child is old."

Hearing this, the Confucian student on the other side groaned slightly, and said with a smile, "One person is big, two people are heaven, heaven is great, and human favor is greater than heaven." ”

"Smack" "Smack"

Qi Zixiao and the others couldn't help but applaud.

One uses the imperial examination as an example to explain the current atmosphere of the imperial examination, and the other also uses the imperial examination as the background to illustrate the filthy relationship between officialdom and human relations.

At this time, they also saw Qi Zixiao and the others, got up and said with a smile, "Where are the friends from, it seems that there are no you in the Jixia School Palace." ”

"We're here to visit the Jixia School Palace, if there's anything to disturb, please forgive me."

Qi Zixiao said with a smile.

They looked at Qi Zixiao, their eyes flickered slightly, and then they looked at Li Baiyi, their eyes lit up, "What a heroic aura." ”

Li Baiyi also smiled slightly, didn't say anything, and when they looked at Jun Wanli, they raised their eyebrows, "The aura on your body is so weird, it is incompatible with my Confucianism." ”

Jun Wanli smiled faintly and did not explain.

"Don't bother the two of you, let's go."

Qi Zixiao said.

After speaking, he took Li Baiyi and left them.

The two Confucian scholars looked at their backs and fell into deep thought.

Qi Zixiao didn't know how far they went, and came to a small courtyard that was inaccessible, there was only one person in the courtyard, sitting there reading a book, and above his head, there was a peach tree, at this time, the peach blossoms were in full bloom, and it looked like a beautiful artistic conception.

"It's a pleasure to have friends from afar."

As soon as they approached, they heard a gentle voice coming.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please come in and talk about it."

They glanced at each other, then walked towards the courtyard and sat down on a stone bench next to the man.

At this time, they saw each other's faces clearly, with a delicate complexion, with a white scarf, a slender figure, and a white robe, exuding a strong bookish atmosphere.

"This gentleman is interrupted."

Qi Zixiao opened his mouth and said, from the other party, he sensed an extremely terrifying aura of Haoran, and knew very well in his heart that the people who could study the palace here were all the top Confucian students in the world.

"It doesn't matter, meeting is fate."

Confucius smiled and said, "I don't have anything to entertain you here, only a pot of tea, I hope you don't mind." ”

As he spoke, Confucian Sheng personally poured four cups of tea for Qi Zixiao and them.

Qi Zixiao took the teacup and drank it all, and after a while, they seemed to hear the sound of endless reading.

"Those who are sincere, the way of heaven, those who think sincerely, the way of people are also ......"

"The way of heaven and earth can be said in one word. If it is a thing, then its creatures are unpredictable......"

“……”

They seemed to see endless readers chanting in unison, and the aura of grandeur filled the heavens and the earth.

It seemed like a moment, and then it seemed that years had passed, and the next moment, they were all regained their senses.

"What is this?"

Qi Zixiao's eyes froze.

"After a cup of tea, you can go."

Confucius said with a smile.

Qi Zixiao was stunned, but he didn't say anything, and left with a few people.

When they left, Confucius sighed, "Master, did you really choose to be on his side?" ”

"Taoism and Buddhism have made their own choices, and I, Confucianism, have also made their own choices......"

An ethereal voice came from nowhere.

"A hundred years ago, I understood everything at the first sight of him, and only he could really carry forward the Confucian way......"

After speaking, the voice was silent for a moment, and then said, "Zilu, the war is about to begin, let all your juniors and disciples come back, whether Confucianism can be passed on for eternity depends on this battle." ”

Hearing this, Confucius's face changed, and he said in a solemn voice, "Sure enough, they still can't help it, and the disciple will recall all the junior disciples." ”

……

Leaving from the Confucian courtyard, Qi Zixiao took a few people to another place, where there was a huge stone stele, and there were lanterns around the stele, shining the stone stele very brightly.

The stele is ten zhang in size and has many handwritings on it.

"What is this?"

Qi Zixiao looked at this stele curiously.

"This is the monument of Wendao, all the great Confucians in the Jixia School Palace need to leave their own words on this stone tablet, and the first one to leave a word on it is the Holy Master, you see."

Li Baiyi said, pointing to the sentence at the top, "People are not benevolent, what is the courtesy?" People are not benevolent, how can they be happy? ””

"Those are the words of the Holy Master."

Looking at the words on the stone tablet, Qi Zixiao seemed to see a leading saint master making his own voice towards the heavenly dome.

Lead the human race out of ignorance and barbarism, and teach the world with etiquette.

Further down are the words of others, the seventy-two great Confucians, each of whom has his own words of enlightenment.

"In addition to these great Confucians, other people can also leave messages on them, as long as they can get the recognition of the stone tablet."

Li Baiyi said with a smile.

There was a flash of excitement in his eyes, as if he wanted to try it too.

Saying this, he stepped forward, stood in front of the stone tablet, pointed like a sword, and began to write in the blank space.

"The man who is the master of heaven and earth, and the reverse journey of all things; Time is also a passer-by for hundreds of generations. And floating life is like a dream, for the joy of geometry. ”

Looking at what Li Baiyi wrote, Qi Zixiao and the others were shocked, and they felt the breadth of Li Baiyi's heart.

On the stele, the light suddenly released, and it was extremely bright in the night sky.

When many people saw it, their faces changed and they rushed here.

A respected Confucian student rushed over, looking at the stone tablet that radiated light, and that sentence appeared in the void, and the entire school palace could be seen.

"The man who is the master of heaven and earth, and the reverse journey of all things; Time is also a passer-by for hundreds of generations. And floating life is like a dream, for the joy of geometry. ”

Someone chanted softly, and a flash of admiration flashed in his eyes.

"Such a famous saying should be located on the stone tablet of Wendao."

Everyone is a reader, and whether this sentence is good or good can be clearly distinguished.

In the entire Confucian holy land, it may not be possible to find a few comparable words.

This sentence presented about a cup of tea in mid-air, and then slowly dissipated, but on the stone tablet, this sentence was firmly engraved in it.
