Xuyun Island, located near Abbot Immortal Island, is an inconspicuous island under Qianyun Island.

It was ten o'clock in the evening, and a bamboo hut made of withered yellow bamboo and a few disproportionate wooden planks was in a coconut grove on the edge of the island, and the lights were faintly swaying in it.

An oil lamp the size of a soybean is being lit, reflecting the entire bamboo house in yellow, and a faint fishy smell comes from inside.

"Gudooo Dudu", an old man in his fifties and sixties, was holding a hookah more than one meter long, leaning on a somewhat rough wooden bed, covered with a moldy quilt.

The old man's skin was dark and dry, with cracks on his face and forehead, and his hand holding the hookah was covered with calluses. On the back of his hand, there is a deep wrinkled area.

This is a fisherman's hand, because of the perennial storms, it looks so dry and rough and full of wrinkles.

"The smell of this fish oil lamp is so bad! Just switch to soybean oil another day. A woman holding a three-inch silk thread mending her fishing nets asked, her face showing signs of age, perhaps because it was too dark, or perhaps because it was light, and she had to stare at it for a long time before she could pull out a silver needle.

"If we hold on a little longer, we don't have much soybean oil in our house. I'll go to the sea to catch some big ones tomorrow, and let's go get some back! "When I was young, I once went to Qianyun Island, where there were immortal masters everywhere, and one was really more powerful than the other. They don't light up at night, they use pearls and pearls, and each pearl is worth a year's work on our whole island! They are faster than the Roc. ”

"Alright, alright! I can't stop talking about it, I've been listening to it all my life! The woman interrupted the old man's words, and said with some complaints, the old man's words reminded her of when she was a child, and what she loved to hear most was the strange spells that the old man said, and those beautiful buildings. Thinking of this, the woman's heart warmed, and she looked up at the old man who didn't say a word on the side, only to see that the other party's eyes were blank, and there was a hookah in his mouth, and he was full of nostalgia for the scene on the "Qianyun Island". The woman smiled and shook her head.

"It's not good!" The old man, who was lying on the bed smoking a cigarette, suddenly sat up from the bed and looked at the woman with a strange expression.

They didn't have many friends and relatives at home, and they couldn't think of who it was to come to them so late. Then the woman heard the sound of Suosuo's footsteps outside, and it seemed that there was more than one person.

"Anyone?" Angre took a look. The footsteps outside stopped, and a young voice came in from outside, sounding a little anxious, apparently something was wrong.

"This voice doesn't seem to belong to the main island, could it be from another island?" The old man has lived on this island for decades, and knows every face and every voice here. While thinking so, he looked through the crack in the wooden door, and saw two figures standing faintly inside, a man and a woman, although it was too dark to see the real thing, but from the point of view of appearance, it was indeed no different from the people on this island.

That is, those islands with spiritual veins, there will be immortal cultivators who settle on the islands, and there will be some mortals who are attached to them. As a result, there are very few islands inhabited by mortals, and the distance between them is very long, and it is difficult to communicate with each other. And because it's not easy to move, most people live on an island, so the people here are very welcoming.

The old man hurriedly opened the door and saw a man and a woman, both in their twenties.

These two people look very average, but they are by no means annoying types, and the two of them seem to be quite compatible, which makes people think of their relationship as a young couple at a glance.

"Uncle, aunt, we are from Qianyun Island, and we accidentally encountered a huge wave near this Xuyun Island, and the boat was overturned, and the two of us could only swim ashore, hoping that Auntie can give us a place to stay." The young woman bowed to the two of them, then pulled a black man beside her, and the black man bowed in unison.

"Well said, well said! It's nature! The old man smiled and said, "However, our family is relatively poor, there are only two rooms, if you don't mind, you can rest here for the night, my wife and me, and my children, can live in it!" Go and make a fire, old woman, and bake all your clothes. ”

"Thank you, aunt and uncle, thank you!" The young couple rejoiced.

After a while, the woman walked in with a brazier and a pile of firewood, and soon she came in with two bowls of salted fish noodles.

The young man and the young man were very grateful, but the old man was very generous, and with a wave of his hand, he led the old lady into a room.

"In my opinion, most of these two little couples have run away!" The old woman lay down on the bed with some children, and she suddenly leaned into the old man's ear and whispered.

"How do you know?"

"Look at this kid again, he has dark skin, but there are no calluses on his hands, he is sour, and he is a poor student who has not suffered much. As for the girl, she has a mediocre appearance, but she has a dignified bearing, and she looks like she is from a famous family. The poor scholar and the eldest lady met, and the two of them were together, and they were supposed to make a private contract for life, but the woman's family did not agree, so the two of them ran together in a rage! The old woman paused, a look of embarrassment on her face.

"Hehe, your mother disliked me for not studying, so she had to marry you to me, if it wasn't for your father who persuaded your mother at a critical moment, maybe we would have to run away together!" The old man said with a low chuckle.

"Hmph, I won't run with you!" The old woman snorted.

"I wasn't a bad old man back then, I was very handsome, otherwise you wouldn't have recognized me at first sight!" The old man said unconvinced.

Although the voices of the two were low, they fell on the ears of the young man and woman, which naturally made them hear them clearly, and they couldn't help but chuckle at each other.

This man and woman are Sun Yunhao and Yun Mengli, both of whom hide their cultivation and appearance.

The reason why these two people chose this island is not for nothing.

There is a small spiritual vein on this island, but the spiritual energy is extremely thin, and it is just a low-grade spiritual vein. In this way, ordinary high-level immortal cultivators would not come to this island to cultivate at all, and would rather spend more spirit stones than find a smaller cave to live in.

Over time, this small island has become useless, although it has a spiritual vein, there are tens of thousands of mortals living on it, but because no one has taken over, Qianyun Island has to take out a certain number of spirit stones every year to maintain the defense array on the island.

In this way, this island has become a part of Qianyun Island, half rent and half gift, no cultivation, only need to pay one year of spirit stones, you can become a person on the island, no need to pay any fees.

Under such "generous" conditions, several immortal cultivators on this island who liked to be quiet were finally captured by an immortal cultivator in the Qi refining period.

On a small island where a Qi Refining Stage monk sits, there shouldn't be any problems with these two monks, let alone being seen through the disguise.

The nearest big island to this island, "Qianyun Island", is controlled by a sect called "Qianyun Sect", the cultivation of this sect is similar to that of Qianjimen, only the cultivation of the Yudan period, and there is no friendship with the other three major forces.

In this way, the safety of Sun Yunhao and Yun Mengli will be more guaranteed.

Yun Mengli was so beautiful, even if it was a mortal, it would cause them a lot of trouble, so they disguised themselves as an ordinary teenager and mixed in with these mortals.

Sun Yunhao waved his hand, and an invisible enchantment appeared, enveloping himself and Yun Mengli, and then, a faint aura flowed around him, and in the blink of an eye, he became a handsome young man, and an indifferent aura emanated from him, which was similar to the previous dark young man. Yun Mengli has changed back to her original appearance, and her face that captivates the country and the city makes Sun Yunhao lose his mind.

"Husband, you have to look at it for a long, long time to see my face, I hope you don't get tired of looking at it." Yun Mengli's face flushed and smiled sweetly.

"If there is a face in the world that people will not get tired of looking at, then this person is your wife!" Sun Yunhao stretched out his hand and gently stroked Yun Mengli's delicate face, his eyes full of doting.

Yun Mengli leaned her head into Sun Yunhao's arms and said softly, "Husband, do you know why Mengli chose this place as her shelter?" ”

Sun Yunhao stretched out a finger, stroked a wisp of green silk from his wife, and said with a smile: "You just said that your mother is an ordinary person, does this matter have anything to do with her?" ”

"Yes, Xianggong is right! My mother, the daughter of a fisherman, grew up living in such an environment until I was eighteen years old, when for some reason, I met my father. My mom often told me that what she missed the most was the years she spent with her dad in the mortal world. Later, she and her father returned to Xixing Island, and her father had little free time except for cultivation, and he rarely had contact with his mother. Yun Mengli said as she gently stroked Sun Yunhao's clothes.

"My mother often said that the child has a spiritual root, and I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse. Even if they had the opportunity to cultivate the immortal method and obtain great supernatural powers, it was difficult for them to enjoy the ordinary happiness of mortals. At least from her point of view, it was only those years in the mortal world that my father was the happiest time. ”

Speaking of this, Yun Mengli let out a long breath and said lightly: "Since my family suffered a catastrophe, I don't have the heart to cultivate anymore, if it weren't for the fact that I was still thinking about avenging my father, I wouldn't want to cultivate anymore." In addition to revenge, my greatest wish in this life is to be able to feel the beauty of the world, as my mother said. I want Xie Fujun to give up cultivation and spend the rest of his life with me. ”

"Yes, the happiness of mortals lies in their lives, their lives, their food, their food, their food and clothing, they will be happy. It was a trifle for monks, but for mortals, it was enough to keep them awake from sleep. In the same way, mortals' pursuit of oneself is worthless to monks. And what we immortal cultivators are looking for is ethereal and unrealistic in the eyes of ordinary people, and even in their eyes, what we immortal cultivators are looking for is nothing more than some ethereal and ethereal things. Sun Yunhao replied lightly.

"Yes, maybe in the eyes of ordinary people, we immortal cultivators are high up in existence, flying to the sky, with vast magical powers, no disease and no pain, and a long lifespan, but they would never have thought that this world is so cruel, how ruthless, how ruthless, how ruthless. Yun Mengli looked at Sun Yunhao and said softly.

Sun Yunhao gently kissed Yun Mengli's head, while she buried her head in Sun Yunhao's chest shyly.

On the second day, Sun Yunhao and Yun Mengli came to the couple in disguise, thanked them, explained their intentions, and told them that they left Qianyun Island in order to get married and wanted to stay on this warm cloud island.

The old man looked Sun Yunhao up and down, and suddenly said, "Brother Jane, I think you are also a knowledgeable person!" You can't be a coolie like me, you might as well set up a private school on this small island, teach children to read and write, and support your family! ”

"Teaching?" When Sun Yunhao heard this, he frowned slightly, and his eyes looked towards Yun Mengli.

"Yes, I often heard that old guy say that the children on Qianyun Island, as long as they have a little family background, will be sent to the school to study. If you have good grades, maybe you can be taken by an immortal master and accepted as a personal disciple, maybe you can become a great immortal master in the future! ”

A smile appeared on the corner of Sun Yunhao's mouth, thinking that what the couple was talking about should be the matter of the Thousand Cloud Sect's acceptance of apprentices. As a Confucian, the most important thing for Qianyun Sect is to learn and communicate, as long as you can have a scholarly atmosphere when you are studying, you can perform powerful Confucian secret arts, and practice Confucian exercises, you can also get twice the result with half the effort.

In this way, it is normal for the Qianyun Sect to select a few young disciples in the academy who have spiritual roots and a bit of scholarly flavor to join them.

"Uncle Li's proposal is very good, husband, you can think about it." Yun Mengli said with a smile.

"There's a teacher on this island! A few years ago, there was a teacher on the island, but the library was closed due to his advanced age and poor health. After all these years, there was no second teacher on the island. Alas, this island is so small that these literati and writers don't want to stay here at all, but go to Qianyun Island, which is thousands of times bigger than this big island! Only we, on our own, can survive on this island. ”

"Mr. Sun, if you are willing to open a school here, it will be good for the whole island, which is a good thing." The old man's attitude towards Sun Yunhao has also changed.

"Although I have some culture, I don't know if I have the ability. Since I don't have anything else to do, I'll do my best! Sun Yunhao smiled and agreed.

The old man was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said that he would contact the people in the town to help Sun Yunhao build a good library as soon as possible.

Not long after, the old man led a large group of people to appear in front of Sun Yunhao, these people called "Mr. Jane" one by one, it seems that the old man is right, there are indeed no scholars on this small island. When a scholar landed on the island, people were delighted.

With the instructions of "Mr. Sun", they soon built several bamboo buildings at the foot of a green mountain with bamboo, wood and other materials, and added many bamboo tables and chairs.

Since "Mr. Sun" only charged a symbolic amount of tuition, more than a dozen children between the ages of 5 and 12 were sent here by the islanders on the day the museum opened.

"The mother's hands are sewing, and the child's clothes are on the body. I'm afraid I'll be late. On the first day of class, Sun Yunhao asked the students to recite the poem and explained its meaning to them. As for literacy, the children's level of education varies, some children have been in school for a few years and can recognize more than 100 words, and some children have not even picked up a pen.

Sun Yunhao gave each child who did not have an official name a more formal name, and then wrote down their names on a piece of paper and asked them to take them back to their hometown.

Soon after, more children were sent to Sun Yunhao, and Sun Yunhao did not refuse these children. At its peak, he had nearly a hundred students. So, he enlarged the bamboo hut and divided the group into three classes according to their literacy level, and taught them to read. One day was enough time for him to be busy.

In addition to teaching those children to read and write, Sun Yunhao also told them the truth of life in the world from time to time, what is filial piety to parents, what is respect for teachers, what is respect for others, and what is good to oneself, all of which are concise and concise. With Sun Yunhao's mind that has cultivated for so many years, of course, he will not instill in Sun Yunhao with things like "benevolence and righteousness" and "monarchs and ministers" like now. This is Sun Yunhao's school, which is different from other Confucian schools.

Occasionally, there will be a few smart students who ask some unbelievable questions about this "Mr. Jane", and even some questions, even Sun Yunhao doesn't know how to explain.

"There is also land besides the sea, and what else is on land?"

"What is above the firmament?"

"Under my feet, is the earth, the sea, the deepest part of the earth, what is it?"

"Why do the sun, moon, and stars all operate according to certain laws, instead of being manipulated by man? Could it be the law of heaven and earth? ”

"Is there any reason for heaven? What is the Way of Heaven? The way of heaven, could it be the birth, old age, sickness and death of all living beings? Is the way of heaven a human, an immortal, or just a piece of nothingness? ”

"Is God fair? Why are there domestic animals, monsters, and the difference between mortals and immortals? If the way of heaven is not fair, then, who will he fight for? ”

Such a profound question is impossible to ask from the mouth of a teenager, even a century-old monk like Sun Yunhao cannot answer, and sometimes, he will fall into deep thought, "tea and rice without thinking".
