Tianling, Longjia

"What, the people sent out are all dead, why did you come back alive?" Looking at the trembling mandrill below, the third elder of the dragon said angrily.

"The elder was angry, his subordinates could have taken down the murderer of Young Master Long, but it was only with the help of the Great Confucian that he failed. Mandrill crouched on the ground and quickly explained.

"You mean the Confucian people made a move?"

"Definitely yes, otherwise it would be impossible for so many masters to die silently, after all, it has already reached the territory of the study building. ”

"Shulou is so bold, he even dares to meddle in the affairs of my Long family, is it to start a war with my Long family, then good, I will fulfill him and pass on the nine spirits. Elder Long San said angrily.

"Third brother, don't be angry, this thing is a little weird. Elder Long Er hurriedly persuaded that as soon as the Nine Spirits came out, the matter would be irreparable.

"It's not that your grandson is dead, of course you're not angry. Elder Long San replied.

Elder Long Er suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "Aotian is what I grew up watching, what is the difference between it and my grandson, it's just that it is not a trivial matter to start a war with the library, Shanxiao, let me ask you, can you see with your own eyes that the Confucian people killed the people sent by my Long family." ”

"No... No... But apart from the Confucians, no one there can do that. Mandrill responded.

"That is, except for the Confucian power that injured you, you didn't see how other people died. ”

"Yes. ”

"Okay, let Yu Qing come and see me. "Second Elder Long gave the order to go.

After a short time, Long Yuqing came to the main hall.

"Yu Qing greeted his grandfather and the third grandfather. The young man came to the main hall and said.

"You must also know about Aotian, I want you to find out those people and avenge Aotian, are you willing? Elder Long Er asked.

Yu Qing didn't dare to disobey, but he just wanted to take some things and ask the third grandfather for permission. Long Qingyu said.

"Whatever you want, you can take it, as long as you can avenge my grandson. Elder Long San said.

Hearing the permission of the third elder of Long, Long Yuqing immediately made a move, and with a wave of his claw crushed the neck of the mandrill lying on the ground, "You ......" The mandrill's eyes were full of unwillingness, and he didn't understand why Long Yuqing wanted to kill him.

"Young master, where are we going to play?" a little girl riding a little donkey said to Long Yuqing who was walking on the road boredly.

In exchange, Long Yuqing folded a fan and hit the little girl's head hard.

"Oh, young master, you are bullying others. The little girl said very dissatisfied.

"Who bullies whom, you see that maid riding a donkey, but walking as a young master. Long Yuqing was a little helpless about this girl who was neither big nor small, "How many times have I told you, we are not going to play this time, we are helping Long Aotian's kid to take revenge." ”

"That villain, he often bullied me in the Long family, and he deserved to die..."Seeing Long Yuqing raise the folding fan again, the little girl's voice became quieter.

Looking at the little girl's aggrieved appearance, Long Yuqing didn't fight after all, and sighed and said: "Hey, I also know that kid is a bastard, but the people of the Long family can't die in vain after all, and it is impossible to kill the people of the Long family without paying any price." ”

"Young master, I want to eat sugar gourd. The girl whispered.

"Okay, then let's go eat the sugar gourd first, and then go to avenge Long Aotian after eating. ”

"And the little ravioli, the little sugar man, and I want a lot more rouge gouache. The little girl said excitedly.

"Okay, okay, I promise you, now I can sit on the donkey, young master. Long Yuqing said.

"No, young master, the little donkey is already very tired of carrying me, and I can't bear to carry you again. The little girl righteously refused.

At night, in the wild, even if a bonfire is lit, it still can't stop the chill.

During this time, Zhou Yi and the others were almost non-stop, except for the necessary rest time, almost all of them were used to hurry, and they would arrive at Jixia Academy tomorrow, but the poor horses did not have a good rest.

"Don't you want to rest?" Seeing Zhou Yi sitting by the fire, the sword ghost took the initiative to come over and talk.

"I can't sleep, I'm thinking about today. "Zhou Yi is talking about the wave of people who assassinated Zhou Hong in the bazaar during the day today, and there were not many people who assassinated Zhou Hong during this time, and they were all stopped by Qiao Sanyi one by one. Only today's incident made Zhou Yi difficult to let go, because it was a couple and a child who assassinated Zhou Hong.

When the couple fell in a pool of blood, the child stabbed with a dagger and his eyes were full of hatred, but he forgot that they were assassinating Zhou Hong now, and finally the child also fell in a pool of blood.

"Sometimes people in the rivers and lakes are involuntarily. The sword ghost was silent.

"Actually, you don't have to kill that boy today. ”

"They are people from Tsing Yi Lou, they have been killing people all their lives, if I don't kill him, sooner or later he will die somewhere else. "It was the sword ghost who killed the child, the sword was very fast, the blood had not yet flowed out, the child died, Zhou Hong wanted to stop the sword ghost, and offered to take the child to Jixia Academy together, but the sword ghost still made a move, this is the first time the sword ghost disobeyed Zhou Hong's order, he did not allow Zhou Hong to be in danger, even if this made Zhou Hong very angry.

"Don't blame Mr. Zhou. He's just a little old-fashioned. "Zhou Yi somewhat understands the sword ghost.

"I have never blamed Mr. Zhou, on the contrary, this is also the reason why I have been escorting Mr. Zhou, do you know, in fact, with Mr. Zhou's talent, it is very easy to cultivate what you call the Upper Three Realms, but Mr. Zhou has given up cultivation, because Mr. Zhou said that it is only the sentient beings themselves who can be educated, if they cultivate immortals, they will not have the mentality of mortals, and even the Lower Three Realms are likely to forget their own hearts, so even if they encounter great danger, Zhou Lao has not moved the mind of cultivation. As soon as the sword ghost talked about Zhou Hong, his words gradually increased.

"Then why was Elder Zhou hunted down?" Zhou Yi had always been curious about this.

In fact, it is the dispute of the concept of Confucianism, since the death of the first emperor, Confucianism has been divided into two factions, one faction believes that to develop Confucianism to implement the divine authority of the monarch, with the monarch as the priority, and the other faction is the Zhou Lao faction that believes that the people are precious, the society is secondary, and the monarch is light, this is just an academic debate, but when Zhou Lao put forward the "Three Questions of the People", the contradiction began to intensify. ”

"So the people of that faction began to hunt down and kill Zhou Lao. ”

"That's not true, it's just that some sycophants start to act on their own, but the people on that side of the group choose to be silent about this matter. The sword ghost said.

Silence is acquiescence, Zhou Yi understands, it's just that some people want to save face and some things are unwilling to uncover that layer. Everywhere in the world there is strife, for fame and fortune or for ideas.

Those so-called sycophants are probably those small sects that cultivate immortals, as for whether it is sycophancy, it is unknown, Zhou Yi thought deeply, maybe there may be the shadow of the second sect of Buddhism behind this chase, after all, the existence of Zhou Lao has too great an impact on the spread of Confucianism, and I am afraid that it will also be affected by the second sect of Buddhism.

The only thing to be thankful for is that those sects that cultivate immortals did not do it directly, otherwise it would attract direct suppression from the Shulou, so they chose to tempt those people in the rivers and lakes with Eli, and those people in the rivers and lakes did not know the power of the Shulou, and the Shulou did not bother to bully mortals with these powers, so there was this hunt. Zhou Lao's return to Jixia Academy this time can be regarded as a refuge, because if Zhou Lao is still killed in Jixia Academy, this is not a loss for any faction of Confucianism, but a real Confucian will lose face, and I am afraid that the entire immortal cultivation world will cause a shock. No matter which sect it is, it will not take this risk, so it is safe for Zhou Lao to return to Jixia Academy.
