"This is Luoyang!"

The two got out of the carriage and were waiting to be interrogated, but when they looked up at the city tower in Luoyang, Yin Yi was surprised: "Why is there no one to handle it?" It looks like Luoyang has been dilapidated for a long time. ”

"He is no longer the Luoyang that I or even your master is familiar with. Let's go, let's go in and have a look. ”

The two of them got back into the carriage and entered the city of Luoyang, opened the curtain of the carriage and looked out of the window, although they could still see the smoke curling here, but it was completely absent as an important city in the hinterland of the Central Plains in the Eastern Regions.

"So is this really Luoyang, the capital of the Great Zhou? How did it come to be like this? "Even if Yin Yi hasn't been out of the mountain gate much, but with a father who understands the stars and signs and was once a doctor of the Great Zhou, and a master who used to be the master of the Great Zhou Dynasty's Tibetan Chamber, Yin Yi's understanding of this Eastern Regions can be regarded as quite comprehensive.

"You said that your master didn't tell me some things, but I'm afraid it's the teacher's private matter, and if you don't tell me about this disciple, the teacher must have his difficulties."

Look, here we go again! Your old man, who is a disciple, is used to that old man! Luoyang looks like this - could it be that this own master and ancestor made it out?

"By the way, father, did the bamboo slips that the master gave us say where he told us to go and do something?"

"Yes, there must be." Facing Yin Yi's question, Yin Wen took out the bamboo slip, spread it out and took a general look, and handed it to Yin Yi: "It seems to be looking for something-don't be so lazy, read it." ”

Yin Yi took the bamboo slip, which was handed over to Yin Wen by the old man of Qingniu before they set off. He opened the bamboo slip and read it aloud: "In the east of Luoyang City, counting inward from the Dingmen, the sixth maple tree, the small courtyard on the right, the east wing room inside, the cellar in the north corner, walk six ...... from the outside Hehe! Hahahaha! Hahaha - Father spares his life! The child really can't help it! ”

This kind of unusually weird painting style, Yin Yi, a young man, wants to hold back, but it's too difficult for him. After all, the old officialdom who snatched the bamboo slips and carefully checked them almost couldn't hold back.

Yin Wen's expression was a little dazed, but it wasn't puzzled, but it seemed that something in his heart had collapsed.

Fortunately, out of respect for the teacher, Yin Wen finally focused on the specific direction.

The carriage swayed and soon came to the east of the city, and the two of them followed the guidance on the bamboo slip and got off the carriage next to the sixth maple tree.

Yin Wen walked to the small courtyard, in basic politeness and caution, he knocked on the door, but because the wooden door was a little old, his knuckles directly knocked on a piece of wood. After a while, no one answered. Yin Wen slapped the door vigorously again, but the door collapsed half with a "boom", and at the same time, the dust, sand, and sawdust on the door frame made him look very embarrassed.

Yin Yi shrank back, trying not to make his laughter too obvious.

After repeatedly making sure that there was no one living in this courtyard, Yin Yi drove the carriage to the maple tree and tied it up, tied a horse bell to the horse, and then followed Yin Wen across the courtyard into the house. Then, according to the direction guidance, Yin Wen took out a shovel from out of nowhere and dug a hole in the cellar six steps from the outside to the inside. As the crushed earth was thrown, a waist card was gradually revealed.

"This thing?" Yin Yi picked up the token, walked to the bright place and looked at it carefully. The pattern on the reverse side of the waist card is delicate enough, but even if you hand it to Yin Wen, you can't see anything; As for the front, it is a big word "keep Tibet".

Coming out of the ground and returning to the carriage, Yin Wen stopped and said to his son, who was still a little childish on his face: "Then you have to go by yourself for the next road." ”

"Father? Father, what did I do wrong? Are you going to kick me out of the house? ”

"It's not to kick you out of the house, it's to let you go out for a while. Go the direction you want to go, that's all. This is what your master meant, and now it is also what I meant, and I hope this can be your meaning. The ancestor is already old, and the father will also be old, and you have to walk the next road yourself. ”

Although Yin Yi is a teenager many times, but at this time he finally feels that it is time to separate, not only does he feel that his nose is sour, but he is a little reluctant. Yin Wen stuffed a roll of bamboo slips to Yin Yi, "This is given to you by your ancestor, I told you not to open it before." Now I'll tell you again, don't tear it down. If you really don't know where to go, then take it in the direction of the Academy. ”

"The Academy?"

"That's right! At present, there is a large government-run school in the territory of Qi State, which is the school palace and the place of yearning for students all over the world. The ancestor asked you to take the bamboo slips in that direction. ”

"Direction." In addition to being uncomfortable, Yin Yi's ability to capture information is still very high, "That means that it doesn't have to be to go to the Xue Palace?" ”

"That's it, you go out and figure it out for yourself. In recent days, my father has been watching the stars and nights, and he has also found some things, the master really wants you to go in that direction, but maybe he wants you to experience some things and change some things on the way from Luoyang to Xuegong. ”

"On the way, have you experienced it?" Yin Yi was very confident in his father's stargazing ability, and began to keep an eye on what might happen next.

"Yi'er, my father can't guide you too much in the next part of the road, leave this horse to you, ride it in the direction of the school palace." By the way, you keep this package, it's closed inside, and it's entangled, enough for you to walk to the school palace. ”

Yin Yi restrained the smile on his face and bowed down. "Unfilial son Yin Yi, kowtow to my father."

After a long time of hesitation, Yin Yi still agreed to the meaning of his ancestor and father, and he began to want to wander outside. Although Yin Yi really wants to stay at home for the rest of his life, he also feels that he should really go out for a walk at this time, take a look at the scenery outside, and how is the scenery at home? If he has a family member to rely on at home, can he find someone he can rely on outside?

There are old scholars like Shizu in the family, and there are old stubborns like my father, will there be more people of all kinds outside, and what interesting things will happen between them? Thinking of this, the corners of Yin Yi's mouth gradually raised.

The morning light of the second day sprinkled on the ancient city of Luoyang. Father and son waved goodbye. Yin Wen stopped, watching his young son go in a direction that was full of goals and unknowns.

……

The red sun was rising, and the morning light sprinkled on the Huai Valley, dispelling the dense fog in the mountains.

The old man stood on a stone and looked into the distance. After a while, he smiled dumbly, "This kid, I got the sign and went in to take a look, why did you leave?" ”

"Looks like he was driven away by my junior brother." The old man in the linen robe said with a smile.

The old man of Qingniu glanced at the old man in the hemp robe, "Is the next road arranged?" ”

The old man in the linen robe smiled and said, "Even if I don't arrange it, someone will arrange it for him, won't it." ”

The old man of Qingniu scolded with a smile: "Okay, you are a scumbag." Immediately afterward, the conversation changed. I'm afraid it's going to start messing up, so I won't stay with you for long, I'll go first. ”

"How many more days does the teacher not stay?" Looking at the back of the old man in the green cow, the old man in the hemp robe could only say, "Teacher walk slowly." ”

As soon as the words fell, the old man turned around again, approached the old man in the linen robe, and stretched out a hand.

"What does the teacher command? Although it is said, the disciples must try to do it. ”

"Take out the two best jars of wine in your cellar, and be thirsty for the teacher."
