The golden mudra like the hand of the god gradually disappeared with the wind after pinching and blasting the fish, and then the mountain waves waved their sleeves, wiping out all the remaining ferocious aura on the surface of the lake. The wind subsided and the water calmed down, and the lake returned to its previous calm. Then, Shan Tao turned around and walked towards Gu Li and them. He said lightly to them: "This matter is over, you can leave." ”

"Thank you, sir. A few people bowed down to thank them, and their minds calmed down, so they could be described as dangerous and dangerous, and they were almost swallowed by the fish, but fortunately they met the mountain guard Shantao to make a move.

"Mr. Shantao, the little woman wants that metamorphosis lotus, can I exchange it with you at an offer? Luo Yi asked at this time. This Transformation Lotus is of great benefit to her Blue Lotus Sword and should not be missed.

"Oh, this Transformation Lotus is hundreds of years old, and it is about to grow into a thousand-year-old mystic medicine, and it is extremely rare, and the price is not cheap. Hearing this, Shantao laughed lightly. I also took a look at the metamorphosis lotus in the middle of the lake, the nine-colored lotus flower swayed excellently, and the fragrance was clear.

"Sir, despite the offer, yes. Luo Yi said very seriously.

"So arrogant?" Shan Tao smiled even more when he heard this.

"In Xia Ye Zhizhou, is a child of the Ye family in Qingzhou City, sincerely thank Mr. for saving his life, and I am willing to buy this metamorphosis lotus for Miss Luo, and I also have a bit of bookish anger on Mr. Guan, if Mr. is appreciating his face, you can go with me to Ye's, I have a lot of classics in Ye's library, and Mr. Ren can read it. Ye Zhizhou stepped forward and saluted with his fists.

"No wonder he is full of grandeur, it turns out to be a child of the Hongru Ye family, and the young man is not small! Shan has a friend who has forgotten his year, it is your Ye family, his name is Ye Ti, do you know him?" Shan Tao was a little surprised when he heard this, looked at Ye Zhizhou carefully, and asked.

"Ye Ti is my uncle, I didn't expect to be an old acquaintance with Mr." Ye Zhizhou replied.

"That's a coincidence. Shan Tao smiled, and then said: "Since you are Ye Ti's nephew, I will give you a face, and this metamorphosis lotus will be given to you, but I suggest that you better wait for it to advance to a mystical medicine before refining and absorbing the spiritual power in it." ”

"Thank you, sir. Ye Zhizhou and Luo Yi were a little overjoyed, they didn't expect Shan Tao to give them the Transformation Lotus so happily!

"Don't worry, I'm conditional. Shantao continued.

"Sir, please. ”

"I heard Ye Ti say that your Ye Library is known as the No. 1 Library in Qingzhou, and it has countless Confucian classics, including a copy of "Spring and Autumn", you go back and tell Ye Ti that he will take this scripture book to the Beiyuan Mountains to find me in the future. As for the Ye family, I won't go. Shantao said slowly.

He has been practicing in the Beiyuan Mountains for half his life, and has met a lot of passers-by, and he has nothing to do to read for pleasure, and he can be regarded as half a scholar. Over the years, I have read a lot of Confucian scriptures, and I am very interested in the "Spring and Autumn", which is one of the "Four Books and Five Classics" of Confucianism.

Such classics, ordinary family sects, there is none, and only the library of the Confucian family with sages in charge of the Chinese side has the Confucian "Four Books and Five Classics". However, it is not realistic to ask him to go to the Ye family. After all, he is used to being idle alone, and he doesn't want to be bound by secular etiquette, let alone go to a Confucian family that pays special attention to etiquette. He is not a Confucian cultivator, and for him, studying Confucian scriptures is not a practice, but just a pleasure to spend a long time in silence.

"Yes, I'll tell my uncle about it when I get back. Ye Zhizhou immediately nodded and agreed. With his understanding of his uncle, when he heard about this, he would definitely rush to the Beiyuan Mountains to visit the mountains.

"Okay, young man is refreshing enough, then it's a word. Shan Tao smiled, then stretched out one hand, shook it in the air, and plucked the metamorphosis lotus from the lake, held it in his hand, and threw it directly to Ye Zhizhou.

Ye Zhizhou nodded and signaled to Luo Yi, Luo Yi took out the Qiankun bag, and with a flash of light, he incorporated it into the Qiankun bag and put it on his waist. She smiled happily and thanked, "Thank you Mr. Shantao and Ye Gongzi." ”

"You're welcome. Ye Zhizhou smiled lightly and waved his hand casually.

"I hope to be able to reunite with my deceased people as soon as possible. Make haste ashore and go. Shantao raised his head slightly and sighed softly, waved his sleeves, and a gust of wind blew, rolling up the five people and sending them to the official road to fall, and the people had disappeared.

The five of them each looked at each other, were speechless for a while, did not say much, looked at the place where the mountain waves had disappeared, and continued to walk forward on horseback. Gu Li and the four of them sighed a little in their hearts, along the way, they had encountered many high-ranking people and dangerous things. And Ye Zhizhou and Ning Ke of Nanyue Immortal Court are two like-minded peers.

With this lesson, they never left the official road later, and walked along the official road all the way through more than a dozen mountains, forests, valleys, and undulating roads in the mountains, and finally walked out of the Beiyuan Mountains and came to a field within the direct jurisdiction of Qingzhou City.

After three days of walking through the vast plains, they finally came to the face of a majestic city, with tall ancient walls lined up like mountains, rising from the ground, separating two places, unshakable. The wide official road passes through the city gate, and pedestrians come and go. There was also a large army of warriors guarding the city gates.

Directly above the city gate, there are only three strong characters "Qingzhou City" that have gone through the vicissitudes of life, which makes people just look at it and want to fall.

The main city of Qingzhou in the Tang Dynasty, the Qingzhou Mansion and the Wuhou Mansion under the imperial court are set up here, jointly governing the military and political affairs of Qingzhou and various matters with the Xianjia, it is the largest male city in Qingzhou, standing for many years. Among them, there are many ancient families, where the thousand-year-old incense is inherited, and it is prosperous.

Hongru Ye's family is the first family in Qingzhou City, and the ancestor is a sage in the world, and he is famous in a state.

"It's finally here!" Ye Zhizhou looked up at the three big characters above his head and let out a long sigh, his expression was quite uncalm. After three years of practicing in Bailu Academy, he finally returned to Qingzhou City.

Gu Li looked at the three words above their heads, and their hearts were also quite uneasy, and even a little shocked. This city, to them feel more ancient than the capital of the Southern Jin Kingdom, Nanyang City, like an eternal mountain, just a glance at the city wall, it will make people fall under its majestic momentum.

"How big is this city?" asked Mu Shen with some curiosity. The main city of Qingzhou, one of the Tang Dynasty Kyushu, is bound to be extremely prosperous. It should be comparable to the capitals of those first-class ancient countries in the East China Sea. It is the capital of the Southern Jin Dynasty, and I am afraid it is not as big as it.

"Eighty thousand feet!" Ye Zhizhou replied. Mu Shen and the others were silent for a moment when they heard this, they had no idea about the radius of 140,000 zhang, how many miles was this? It should be big, though.

"Qingzhou City is known as the head of the main city of the three states in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is one of the best in the Tang Dynasty and Kyushu, although you all have a wide range of knowledge, but I believe that you will still fall under this city. Let's go inside. Ye Zhizhou smiled lightly.

"Good. The other four laughed and nodded in agreement.

Then the five men entered the city on horseback.

In late autumn, everything is depressed. However, the moment you step into this ancient city, you can feel a warm and long breath of time, which makes people can't help but feel a strange emotion.

The streets are wide open, and as far as the eye can see, there are crowds. Dressed in various gorgeous Tang costumes, the Tang people walked on the street, in a variety of postures. White-clothed scholars, green-shirted swordsmen, cloth-clothed warriors, street vendors, and armies patrolling the streets...... The most are ordinary people. And the scenery in the city is excellent, the architecture is elegant, and it is pleasing to the eye.

Gu Li followed them all the way with Ye Zhizhou, where the Ye clan was located in the East City. They all have outstanding temperament, and they are naturally very conspicuous when they walk on the road, attracting the attention of a large number of people, and many teenagers and girls on the street are looking at them with amazing eyes. Of course, the most eye-catching is Ye Zhizhou.

Ye Zhizhou, as Ye's young genius, is famous throughout Qingzhou City, and is well-known and familiar, although he has not returned to Qingzhou City for three years, he is still a model that countless teenagers and girls yearn for.

"Brother Ye is really a celestial figure, not only is he famous in Bailu Academy, but he is so famous in Qingzhou City, so many people are excited to see you. Mu Shen looked around, felt the burning gazes cast at him, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Low-key. Ye Zhizhou smiled faintly, calm as usual.

And at this moment, the news of Ye Zhizhou's return to the city has reached the Ye family's mansion. Even many people in other families have heard of it. Because of Ye Zhizhou's three words, he is not only famous for Zhenbailu Academy, but also a representative of the younger generation in Qingzhou City. Inheriting the sage Confucianism of the Ye family, he is the established young master of the Ye family, and the next head of the Confucian family!

Gu Li, standing beside Ye Zhizhou, naturally received a lot of attention. Gu Li and Cen Yao felt slightly uncomfortable being stared at by many eyes. Luo Yi and Mu Shen are both people who have experienced this, so they don't feel much.

"Are they Ye Zhizhou's friends?

"Yes, the young man in white is really handsome, and the young man in green shirt is also good, suave and suave. ”

"How can they have those two young ladies who are beautiful, they are simply captivating!"

"Aren't they all students of White Deer Academy?"

"If you can get acquainted with Ye Zhizhou, they must also be extremely outstanding Tianjiao figures. ”

“......”

There were a lot of discussions on the street, most of them were young people, and many of them were heard by a group of five people, but they didn't care, and followed Ye Zhizhou to continue to walk through the streets and go to Dongcheng. The city they entered at the South City Gate was still a long distance away from the East City, where the Ye Clan's mansion was located, and even if they rode horses through the streets, it would take a lot of time.

Ching Ping Street.

The main street from the south city to the east city is extremely prosperous, and the pavilions and palaces built here are all commercial buildings built by major families in the city, such as restaurants, tea houses, inns and so on. Therefore, the commercial trade of Qingping Street was very prosperous, and most of the people walking here were monks and some children of rich families.

The Plum Leaf Teahouse, the largest teahouse on Qingping Street, is very large-scale, with seven or eight floors of magnificent pavilions, enough to accommodate thousands of people. This teahouse is a commercial teahouse of the Ye family.

The Meiye Teahouse is the famous "Shizi Building" on Qingping Street, and the people who come here to drink tea are mostly literati and elegant guests, drinking tea here, enjoying dramas, talking about scripture strategies, and the nature is vigorous, and the mouth is like a river. And there are no Confucian scholars in it.

There is also a storyteller, who talks about some historical allusions to Confucianism and spreads Confucian scriptures.

Ye Zhizhou took Gu Li and them to the Meiye Teahouse, handed over the horses and shopkeepers, and took them directly to the top floor to rest. The owner of the teahouse was a Confucian scholar in his forties and fifties, and he was also excited when he saw Ye Zhizhou for a while, and only after a long time did he slightly say "young master".

Gu Li left them, and naturally received the highest standard of hospitality, and experienced the tea in the luxury teahouse in Qingzhou City.
