On the fifth watch of the next day, Li Qingshan got up early to practice a strong boxing, and then began to recite poetry and books. Some time ago, I traveled and had a very rare time and environment to study, and now I came to Peach Blossom Academy, and my literary atmosphere was strong, so I couldn't help but study.

Although the Peach Blossom Academy is in the splendid peach blossom forest, the buildings are extremely simple and elegant, the green houses are dense, and the houses are numb. The place where he lived was a quiet courtyard, but he was also worried that it would make noise to others, so he naturally did not dare to recite it aloud, but he read it softly, and the volume only stopped in the courtyard.

When the sun rose in the east and the morning glow filled the sky, more than a dozen bells suddenly rang in the academy. Li Qingshan heard the sound and took a look at the door of the hospital, only to see the white-clothed Confucian scholars and Xuan-colored warriors in various courtyards and gardens rushing to one place. He secretly wondered, and quietly followed the crowd.

When I came to a large flat, I saw everyone sitting on the flat. Almost everyone is dressed in two suits, one is white-clothed, nearly a thousand people, and the other is a dark color suit, about hundreds. In the ranks of the white-clothed Confucian crowns, Shangguan Yingcai, Shangguan Yinghua, and the middle-aged Confucian who got off the boat yesterday were among them. In the ranks of the Xuanxi power suit, the cold-faced old man I saw yesterday, and the Qian Laosan and others who met at the inn a few days ago were among them. Everyone looked respectful, looked worshipful, and looked up at the high platform in the pingzhong.

On the high platform, a hedgehog red sandalwood carved painting is placed, and a delicate and simple sandalwood burner is placed on the desk, and there is a trace of green smoke floating in the furnace. The four treasures of the study room on the stage are complete, and several ancient scrolls are neatly stacked. In front of the desk, in a rosewood official's hat back chair, a gentleman in a blue cloth coat and a black Confucian hat was sitting precariously, ready to give a lecture.

Li Qingshan looked at it fixedly, and almost exclaimed. Isn't that Mr. Master the "old Mr. Shangguan" that he has been thinking about for a long time? After eight years of separation, his temples are now slightly gray, and his face is thin, but he is still gentle and elegant, and his eyes are bright.

He was overflowing with excitement, and was about to say hello, but he saw Shangguan Yinghua in the front row beckoning to him again and again, pointing to the futon next to her, suggesting that he come and sit down. Shangguan Yingcai and Shen Mingyue were also on the side, nodding at him.

He hurriedly walked over, sat down next to Shangguan Yinghua, and smelled an elegant fragrance coming over, and couldn't help but squint and peek. I saw Shangguan Yinghua wearing a white gauze shirt today, with her hair tied up in the Confucian crown, revealing a neck like white jade, her side face was like white porcelain inlaid with red, and her eyelashes were slender.

Li Qingshan hurriedly held his nerves, looked at "Mr. Shangguan", and listened to his lecture quietly.

Old Mr. Shangguan had already seen him and didn't pay attention to it. When everyone finally arrived, I saw the middle-aged Confucian scholar stand up and proclaim loudly: "Everyone be quiet, respectfully invite the master to speak!"

The audience immediately fell silent, and they all looked at the old gentleman on the stage.

Li Qingshan thought to himself: "Mr. Shangguan's status is very honorable, and so many Confucian scholars and martial artists respect him. As soon as he said that he had spoken, he was silent. The so-called Master's lectures are not just the ones who do it. When the old gentleman taught himself, didn't he also teach the Four Books and the Five Classics, the Hundred Schools of Thought, and the Subset of the Classics and History? ”

But to his surprise, Mr. Shangguan did not speak directly, but said: "Today's valley rain, rain gives birth to a hundred grains." All the people of Dongzhou respect heaven and earth, obey the season, abide by benevolence and righteousness, and speak of the four virtues. I have come here today not only to observe the crops and agricultural affairs in the counties and counties under the jurisdiction of this institute, but also to follow the rules of my Chongwen Palace, to travel around the academies and give lectures, and to be diligent and diligent. ”

Li Qingshan was secretly surprised in his heart, thinking that Mr. Shangguan was actually from Chongwen Palace? Chongwen Palace, Shangguan's surname, isn't that the same as Shangguan Jinglun?

He was thinking about it, but he heard the old gentleman continue: "All the academies in Dongzhou are mainly used to study literature, supplemented by martial arts. The study of literature is to learn the words of the sages, the great wisdom of the sages, know the etiquette of benevolence and righteousness, and respect the literature and education. The purpose of learning martial arts is to strengthen the body, protect thousands of people in Dongzhou, and protect the territory and the people. For example, today, martial arts are rampant, if my Dongzhou is not supplemented by martial arts, how can I protect my wife and children and protect Dongzhou. ”

"I came here not only to teach martial arts, but also to study and test martial arts. On the first day of today, the examination was presided over by Meng Chaoqi, a bachelor of the Xiuwen Palace of Chongwen Palace. With that, he pointed to the middle-aged Confucian scholar. The middle-aged Confucian Meng Chao got up and turned to salute everyone.

"The martial arts test will be presided over by my Chongwen Palace Xiuwu Hall cold face Shura Yu Wanqian. With that, he pointed to the cold-faced old man. The cold-faced Shura stood up and motioned to everyone.

Then, he stood up to the front of the stage, waved his sleeves, and said loudly: "Everyone follow the deployment, go." I'll give a lecture here tomorrow!"

Everyone got up and saluted, walked in a row, and dispersed in an orderly manner, leaving only Mr. Lao, Meng Chaoqi, Yu Wanqian, Shangguan Yingcai, Shangguan Yinghua, Shen Mingyue, Li Qingshan and a few others to stay in place.

Mr. Shangguan slowly stepped down from the stage and said to Meng Chaoqi and Yu Wanqian: "You should quickly go to preside over the literature and martial arts examinations, be sure to be strict and strict in everything, make a record of the actual results, and hand them over to me for inspection in a while." Go ahead. Meng Chaoqi and Yu Wanqian replied "yes" at the same time and took the order.

Old Mr. Shangguan walked up to Li Qingshan, gently stroked his head, also looked at Shen Mingyue, and said kindly: "Qingshan, Mingyue, you have grown so big." ”

Li Qingshan's eyes were moist, and he was about to answer. But I only heard Shangguan Yinghua next to him holding the old gentleman's arm, and said coquettishly: "Dad, how do you know this stinky little Taoist." ”

Daddy? Li Qingshan was stunned in place, including Shen Mingyue behind him, who was also completely stunned. Mr. Shangguan is the father of Shangguan Yingcai and Shangguan Yinghua, isn't that the famous Shangguan Jinglun, isn't that the Lord of Dongzhou and one of the Three Sages Wensheng?!

The old gentleman said, "Ah, this, this...... When you were six years old, I either went far away for two years, or went to Xianlai Mountain to teach this kid. ”

The two Shangguan Yingcai brothers were shocked, and the doubts that had been hanging in their hearts for many years were finally solved. In those two years, they always asked their mothers where their father had gone, and their mothers always said that they had gone far away. When my father came back, he didn't say where he had gone, and every time they asked, he was always hesitant. It was also because of the absence of those two years that Shangguan Yinghua was so tired of his father, this time he came from his Langhuan Academy, obviously to see his brother Shangguan Yingcai, but secretly he actually came to wait for his father.

Shangguan Yinghua said angrily: "Okay, daddy, don't want your son and daughter, go to a barren mountain to teach a little Taoist priest!"

She paused, and said angrily, "Could it be that he is your illegitimate son born outside?"

Shangguan Yingcai shouted: "Yinghua, don't talk nonsense. How dare you defy my father like this!"

Shangguan Yinghua pouted, staring coldly at his father without speaking.

Shangguan Jinglun snorted and said, "I knew that if I said it, you two would be angry and cranky." Back then, the purple gas in the southeast was flourishing, and the old Taoist priest Zhang Yunshe and I went to look for it according to the celestial phenomena, didn't we meet this little Taoist. It's just that the old Taoist priest Zhang Yunshe took the lead and brought back to Xianlai Mountain. I made a six-year contract, promising to teach him for two years after he was six years old. Daddy is the most faithful, not to mention making an appointment in front of the old Taoist, so he went to the appointment. ”

Shangguan Yinghua said coquettishly: "That father didn't tell us before, no wonder we are thinking cranky at this moment." ”

Shangguan Jinglun said: "You were still young at that time, so you may not be able to understand. It's okay to say it in front of Qingshan at this moment, hehe, he never knew that I was Shangguan Jinglun. ”

Li Qingshan scratched his head and said, "I really don't know that Mr. is a literary saint who resounded all over the world. I didn't know how to be blessed in the midst of blessings, but I actually got two years of Wensheng teaching, and I benefited a lot. It's a pleasure to see you here!"

Shangguan Jinglun smiled: "It's not strange that you don't know, you haven't been out of Xianlai Mountain, and you don't know what is going on in the world." I didn't talk to the old Taoist priest and Chu Sihai, how can you know. Yesterday, Chu Sihai and I were secretly watching you fool around. Mingyue's martial arts are very good, and she has a lot of style. Well, I see that you are strong and straight, and your temperament is also very good, let me see your internal strength!"

After speaking, as soon as he stretched out his hand, he had already put it on Li Qingshan's shoulder. Li Qingshan only felt that a gentle force was pouring into the dantian all over his body, and his Taixu and Xuan True Qi couldn't help but consciously resist.

Shangguan Jinglun suddenly withdrew his hand and said, "Excellent! Excellent! This internal strength foundation is extremely solid, the meridians of the whole body have been opened, and the Taixu Taixuan Gong has reached the late stage of the Divine Realm." No, it is about to break through and reach the virtual realm. Is the old Taoist priest in retreat?"

Li Qingshan nodded and replied, "Well, after he retreated, I came down the mountain to travel. ”

Shangguan Jinglun said: "Well, he is using his internal strength to help you open up the meridians and break the mirror, it's really difficult for him." He won't come out of this retreat for a while, and maybe when he comes out, he will be in the Enlightenment Realm. With his help, your internal cultivation at the moment is only afraid that it will not be under the rest of the thousands. ”

Shangguan Yingcai and Shangguan Yinghua next to him were shocked. It's not under Yu Wanli, and the meaning can be compared to a master in the middle of the seventh order. Didn't the previous arrest be done on purpose to lure himself out?

Shangguan Yinghua said angrily to Li Qingshan: "I don't believe it, let's compete." ”

Li Qingshan shook his hand again and again, and hurriedly replied: "I don't know martial arts moves, I can't come if I don't come!"

Shangguan Yinghua was even more annoyed when he saw him like this, and he jumped away and put on a posture to fight Li Qingshan.

Shangguan Jinglun couldn't cry or laugh at this baby daughter, and said, "You can't beat him." Besides, you're wearing a gauze shirt and skirt, and you're going to have to fight and kill, so don't you know. It looks much better in a daughter's outfit, and you don't have to be a scholar all the time!"

Shangguan Yingcai and Shen Mingyue giggled beside them. Li Qingshan also thought it was funny, but he didn't dare to laugh out loud.

Shangguan Yinghua paused, blushed and said, "Daddy, why did you turn your elbow out!"

Shangguan Jinglun laughed and said, "I am very happy to see a few of you. I didn't expect to meet here today. All of you are here all this time. I will personally take you with me, and during the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will go to Chongwen Palace to participate in the Wanxiu Heroes!"

Then he led the people towards the temple of worship.
