The Way of Heaven (4)
"Could it be that you are really dreaming?"
Chen Yu saw that he was in the guest room of Jie Tianyun in a good manner, and said that this trip to the Dragon Palace was just a dream. Suddenly, I heard a knock on the door outside the room, and when I opened the door, I saw that it was the night of moxibustion.
Shen Moxibustion Ye said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Brother Chen ran away in vain." ”
Chen Yu looked at the night of the moxibustion suspiciously, and said in his heart that he really went to the Dragon Palace. Shen Moxibustion Ye seemed to understand Chen Yu's doubts, and said with a smile: "Brother Chen and I did go to the Dragon Palace, but it was not a physical mortal. The golden lake is disgusted with the world and has its own world. People eat grains and soak in the maze, and their flesh and mortal wombs are disgusted by Jinhu. Therefore, the trip to the Dragon Palace was for me to summon Brother Chen's Yuan Shen to go with me. ”
Chen Yu secretly said that this is the case. I looked at the sky outside the room, saw that it was gray, and said to Shenjiu Night: "Brother Night, didn't you come here to tell me about this." ”
Shen Moxibustion Night shook his head and said, "In another hour, the sky will be bright, and there will be disciples in the door who will get up early and practice in the morning." I'm afraid that when I see it, I will inevitably say goodbye, which will only increase my sadness. Therefore, I want to ask Brother Chen to go down the mountain with me now and wake up the divine beast. ”
After the moxibustion finished speaking, he gave Chen Yu a salute to apologize. Chen Yu simply freshened up, and then went down the mountain with the night of moxibustion. The two of them walked through the bamboo forest, reached the riverside, and successfully passed through the cave. Chen Yuqi said: "How did this cave become an ordinary cave, is it a Yama in the painting?" Shen Moxibustion replied at night: "The underground in this cave is a one-way entrance, and there is no entry and exit." Therefore, when we go out now, we can't go to Nadifu, but only ordinary caves. ”
Unconsciously, the two of them arrived at the temple of Jie Tianyun, and saw that the plaque of "Nantianmen" was close at hand, but they saw a person wandering under the plaque. This person was wearing the uniform of the Ring Tianyun Sect, and he was magnificent. Shen Mo Ye walked up to this person and said with a light smile: "Senior Brother Shu got up so early and wandered here, don't you want to go down the mountain?" It turned out that this person was Shu Yuping, who was called "Tianyun Sancui" along with Shen Moxibustion Night and Yan Qingyu, and the title of "Tianyun Sancui" was the honorific title of the three best disciples in the sect.
"Senior brother misunderstood. Shu Yuping said: "I don't get up early for morning exercises, I'm a little tired, and I want to take a break." After that, he glanced at Chen Yu, and then turned to Shenjiu Ye and said, "Senior brother, are you rushing down the mountain with Bai Huixuan's disciples?"
"Senior Brother Shu, why do you say that?"
"Senior brother, I'm afraid I don't know. Shu Yuping said: "It is well known that the people of Baihui Xuanmen have visited our faction. Now I see that this Taoist friend is wearing a dress that is not my sect, and he is in a hurry with my senior brother, so I have this guess, this Taoist friend is from Baihuixuan, and senior brother and he are preparing to go down the mountain for a long journey, I don't know if it is or not?"
"Senior Brother Shu, it's really good eyesight. ”
Shen Moxibustion Night was impressed, but Shu Yuping's face changed suddenly, and he said dissatisfiedly: "Senior brother is really not authentic, and he doesn't say goodbye to all the junior brothers and sisters, so he just says goodbye." ”
Shen Jiu Ye was slightly embarrassed and explained: "Aren't I afraid that saying goodbye will only increase my sadness." Shu Yuping said sarcastically: "Senior brother, I think you are worried that your junior sisters will cry and cry, so you won't let you go." ”
Shen Moxibustion's face turned red, as if he was being told the central matter. Seeing this, Chen Yu said secretly: "It turns out that this is the real reason why Brother Ye left early. ”
Shen Jiu Ye didn't want to talk too much about this matter, so he gave a farewell salute to Shu Yuping and said, "Senior Brother Shu, please inform my master and all my uncles and uncles, saying that I have gone down the mountain, don't worry." ”
Shen Moxibustion said that he wanted to go on the road with Chen Yu. Seeing this, Shu Yuping hurriedly said: "Senior brother, where are you going?" I have a wide range of friends, if there are my friends in the place where you go, I will also write a letter and ask him to pick up the wind and wash the dust for you." If you need help, just call him. ”
"This ......" Seeing that Shenjiu was silent, Shu Yuping said unhappily: "Senior brother doesn't want to tell, can't you believe junior brother?" Shenjiu Night's face changed slightly, Chen Yu saw it, and said: "Brother Dao, you misunderstood, it's not that Brother Night doesn't want to tell, but Brother Night doesn't know where to go." I'll check it out and tell you where to go, and say that if you can't get there, you really need the help of Brother Dao's friend. ”
Chen Yu took out his clothes and inspected them, and said, "We will go to Jinling." Shu Yuping was puzzled: "What are you going to do there?" Chen Yu replied: "There is a No. 1 school there, with a long history and a large collection of books. My master mentioned in his garment that they had a clue to the Divine Beast Order. Shu Yuping said: "Although Jinling is not far away, in order to save the world, I will now leave the book to my friends over there and ask him to inquire about the affairs of the first school." I personally suggest that when senior brothers and Taoist friends get there, they can go to restaurants and teahouses to inquire, after all, there are people coming and going, and it is a good place to listen to news. In addition, Qinglou may as well go, the literati and scholars like to go there to vassal elegance, and the news may be more reliable. ”
Chen Yu nodded, feeling that what Shu Yuping said was reasonable. Shen Jiu glanced at Shu Yuping, said nothing, and said goodbye to Chen Yu and left. The two of them walked out of the Nantianmen, went down the sheep intestine path, passed through the waterfall, and arrived at the red maple forest. A strangely shaped white deer suddenly rushed towards the two, stopped in front of Chen Yu, and rubbed Chen Yu's chest with his head coquettishly.
"Brother Night, this is my mount, the Colorful Elk. I have this to travel, what about you?" Shen Jiu Ye replied: "Brother Chen don't worry about me, I have my own means of transportation, you can lead the way in front." ”
Hearing the words of the god moxibustion night, Chen Yu stepped on the colorful elk and ran into the distance. Shen Jiu took a saber from his waist in a hurry, this sword was about three feet long, thin and light, with a thick texture unique to metal, even if the starry sky was gray, it also flashed with dazzling sharpness. Shen Jiu Ye threw the sword into the air, and the sword instantly became ten times larger. Shen Jiu Ye jumped on the sword and chased the sword in the direction of the colorful elk galloping.
Chen Yu saw that the sword was coming at night, so he was relieved and led the way wholeheartedly. This Jinling is not far from Jietianyun, and the two of them arrived at the Jinling City Gate in just an hour. Shen Ji Ye put away the sword, glanced at the colorful elk and said, "Brother Chen, your deer is extraordinary, it is not suitable to show people, what are you going to do?"
"Brother Night, don't worry, I have my own solution. ”
Chen Yu said, got off the deer, and patted the head of the colorful elk. The antlers of the deer resembled the branches of a tree, and fruit hung from them. With Chen Yu's beat, the fruit on the antlers not only disappeared, but even the snow-white fur became much darker. When I looked at it again at the night of the moxibustion, where did this deer still have the demeanor of a colorful elk, it was clearly an ordinary white deer.
At dawn, many people gathered under the gate of Jinling, and these people were all traders and tenant farmers who came to catch the morning market. Chen Yu led the colorful elk and Shenjiu Ye into the crowd, listening to the traders and tenant farmers who came and went talking about the recent events in Jinling, and a trace of joy suddenly flashed between his eyebrows. It turns out that Jinling's colleges and universities are recruiting students recently, and the prestigious world's first university will also open its doors. It's just that the number one university in the world, which one it is, has always been a mystery in the world.
A trader said to his partner: "This is the world's No. 1 Jinling Academy, and I don't know which is true or which is false. Those schools that have no real talent and real learning, and cheat fake people, have their consciences eaten by dogs, and they don't know how many students have been harmed. When he heard the words of the vendor, he was very puzzled, gave a salute, and said, "Dare to ask the eldest brother, what did you mean just now?"
The trader saw that Shen Mo Ye and Chen Yu were dressed extraordinarily, guessed that the two of them were a rich family, and saw that Shen Mo Ye talked extraordinarily and politely, and mistakenly thought that the two of them were students who came to study in Jinling Academy, so he said: "The two must be students, come to Jinling to study, right?" Without waiting for Shen Moxibustion Night and Chen Yu to answer, the trader has already said to himself: "We are called Jinling here, all because of the first school in the world, Jinling School." Since this school became famous, many people have been blinded by lard and have stolen the name of this school to run a school. Those students who come here to study can't distinguish between the true and the fake, choose Lu Juku based on their feelings and school decoration, enter the fake school by mistake, do not learn poetry, books and etiquette, and specialize in the fake fighting and climbing high branches. You say, isn't this fake school that deceives the world and steals its name harmful?"
Shen Jiu Ye and Chen Yu were silent, and followed the crowd into the city gate. The vendor patted Shen Jiu Ye on the shoulder and said sharply: "There are many Jinling schools, you have to keep your eyes open, don't be ruined by that fake school." Everyone in the world says that what is good is not necessarily good, and what everyone says is bad is not necessarily really bad. In the end, you have to experience and identify for yourself. That's all I have to say, and I wish you all the best of luck. ”
"Thank you. ”
On the night of the moxibustion, Chen Yuqi bowed to the vendors. When the vendor left, Shen Jiu saw a vendor carrying a burden and selling cooking cakes, walked over, handed a tael of silver to the vendor, and said, "Come on two cooking cakes." ”
The vendor quickly wrapped two cooking cakes in oiled paper and handed them to Shen Jiu Ye, but when he wanted to find money for Shen Jiu Ye, he was stopped by Shen Jiu Ye. Shen Jiu Ye said: "The rest of the money should be used to ask the little brother for news." Dare to ask the little brother, do you know where this first school is?"
The peddler rolled his eyes and said, "I can't say about this first school, but there is one school I suggest you go and see." That school is a genuine ten universities, there is a 'holy mansion' plaque issued by the imperial court, peach and plum all over the world, many dignitaries, squires and rich people are studying under this school. ”
Shen Jiu Ye hurriedly said: "Then dare to ask the little brother, where should this school go?" The vendor pointed to a road and replied: "You go straight along this road, and you will see a lot of people." ”
"Thank you. ”
Shen Jiu Ye thanked the vendor and led Chen Yu towards the school that the vendor was referring to. Seeing the night of the moxibustion and Chen Yu, the peddler walked farther and farther, threw down the burden of cooking cakes, and walked towards a remote alley.
On the night of the moxibustion, Chen Yu arrived at the school that the vendor said, and saw that there were people coming and going, and many students were waiting for admission with the apprenticeship ceremony. Chen Yu said secretly, this school is worthy of being one of the ten universities, and it is so popular. However, Shen Moxie Ye frowned, staring at the sign of the school and saying nothing.
The school's signboard is a "pure gold" wall about three zhang (10 meters) wide and 15 feet (five meters) high. The four characters "Jinling Academy" on the wall are ground into powder with rare and precious black agate, and smeared one stroke after another. Just by looking at the signboard of this institution, you can know what kind of splendor this institution has.
"Get out. ”
In the school, suddenly a poor student was kicked out by the servants because he couldn't get together to worship his teacher. The student said: "I am the first student in the county, and I think this school is a place for scholars, so I came here to study." But because the family was poor, the apprenticeship ceremony was beaten out by you, and it is not worthy of the name of your school. ”
"Boy, don't be crooked here. The servant shouted: "We are a school, not Sian Chay, just like you, you still want to study, and you don't pee and take pictures." What about the first student in the county, if our school is full of people like you, how can we make money. Roll, roll, roll. ”
Shen Moxibustion's brows frowned even tighter, and Chen Yu also frowned. Shen Mo Ye said: "Brother Chen, such a school that hates the poor and loves the rich must not be the school we are looking for. Chen Yu nodded and said, "What Brother Ye said is reasonable, let's go and take a look elsewhere." ”
On the night of the moxibustion, Chen Yu turned around and left. When I walked to a place, I saw a young man standing under a poplar tree. The young man wore a white shirt, a white skirt, a turquoise shirt, and a white jade pendant around his waist.
When I first saw this person on the night of Shen Moxibustion, I suddenly had a good feeling, and I always felt that this young man was not a simple person. Then he walked up to the young man and asked, "Dare to ask Brother Tai, do you know where the first school is?"
The young man looked at the night of the moxibustion, then at Chen Yu, and said: "Jinling Academy, one hundred and eight ladders, only those who are good have entry qualifications, those who accumulate virtue have admission qualifications, and those who walk on the right path have the qualifications to reach the top." Would you like to give it a try?"
