Chapter 34: Into the City
The sun rises and the moon sets, walking and stopping, and finally on the fourteenth day, with a mighty team not far from Liyang City. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's hard to imagine that they walked for half a month in less than three hundred miles.
Standing outside Liyang City, Ye Mu looked at the hundreds of people behind him, and felt uncomfortable in his heart, as if a benevolent emperor was about to abandon his own people.
Everyone looked at Ye Mu with a solemn face, very reluctant, and wanted to continue.
These days, but they feel it deeply. They didn't expect that listening to stories would eventually become such a situation, after understanding a lot of truths, knowing a lot of things, and having a goal in their hearts, they could never go back to half a month ago.
"Ladies and gentlemen, no matter how much the reason is used, it is in vain to say it. I hope you will go back and use it more practically. Say goodbye. Ye Mu turned around in a dashing manner, and after speaking, he turned his back to face the city wall and never looked back.
Ye Mu looked at the tall city tower on the city wall, resolutely patted Bai Yun's back, took Wu Ming's hand and walked in the direction of the city.
The hundreds of people behind him saw Ye Mu leaving, and they stood in place for a while, but they didn't know what to do. It wasn't until Ye Mu walked far away that they came back to their senses, looked at the people around them, and walked towards where they were going.
"You're the scholar?"
Approaching the city gate, he was walking towards the back of the team entering the city, and the long-faced man who came from nowhere jumped out and blocked Ye Mu and Wu Ming, and asked excitedly.
Ye Mu was stunned for a while on the spot, and looked at the other party carefully, his face full of puzzlement.
"You're from Qingshui Town, right?" Seeing Ye Mu's blank appearance, the long-faced man smiled innocently and asked kindly.
He had already heard about a young scholar who had been lecturing all the way, and the city had been spreading the word in the past two days, and many people were waiting to see this scholar.
Fortunately, he waited outside the city with a little more heart, so he waited first and grabbed the heads of the others.
In his opinion, such people are all people with true learning, and they are all extraordinary people, and they are not far from the Confucian saints in the mouths of everyone, and they must be treated well.
"Yes, from Qingshui Town, is there any problem?"
Seeing the very respectful face on the other party's face, Ye Mu felt that there was something strange about this matter, so it was better to ask it clearly.
"That's right, follow me into the city, there are many people in the city waiting for you to come!" Hearing Ye Mu's words, the long-faced man said excitedly, while quickly getting out of the way and making a gesture of invitation.
Although it had been confirmed that the young man with the hair in front of him was the scholar who was rumored to be a god, when he heard the other party admit it himself, the long-faced man couldn't help but feel excited in his heart.
"Me?" Ye Mu was confused for a while, and said with a little confusion as he looked at the long-faced man who got out of the way.
"Yes, your deeds have been spread all over the city, and many people admire you and want to see you!" Seeing that Ye Mu did not go with him, but looked puzzled, the long-faced man withdrew his very embarrassed hand in the air, and said again to explain. "If you teach a scholar, you will attract hundreds of people to follow, and you will be able to follow the style of the Sage Confucius. ”
When the long-faced man said this, Ye Mu understood it, or the trouble caused by his own swagger, but he couldn't think of anyone in the city who would pay attention to this, and now that Confucianism is not obvious, who would pay attention to him so boringly?
"I remember that Du Fuwei's territory didn't pay much attention to Confucianism, right?
Knowing what happened, Ye Mu's heart calmed down.
Seeing Ye Mu ask this, the long-faced man smiled slightly and slowly spoke.
"Gongzi doesn't know that after Yang Guangda opened the imperial examination, Confucianism was almost all over the country, where is it? It's just that the world is in chaos, and they are scattered all over the country waiting for the unification of the world. ”
"Don't look at my salary, I look like a rough man, in fact, I am also a Confucian student, and I also participated in the imperial examination back then. ”
"There are still a lot of people reading in the city!"
The long-faced man said in a colorful voice, and when he talked about himself, he was quite proud, and Ye Mu was very suspicious of his words in his heart. Are you really a Confucian student? I couldn't help frowning slightly.
If his words are true, then it is really reasonable, in troubled times, Confucianism is really not as good as a grass-headed soldier, and it is normal to hide it.
At present, the most famous Confucians, but Ouyang Xiyi and Wang Shu, are all like the commanders of the light pole, and they have not seen any disciples, unlike the three sects of Taoism, Buddhism, and Demons, which are full of talents and show their skills in disputes. After all, it is Confucianism that attaches great importance to etiquette, and there are few scholars who are as civil and military as Ouyang Xiyi, and when it comes to using force, they become scholars who are powerless.
For Confucianism, Ye Mu feels that it is still very desirable, although attaching too much importance to Confucianism is easy to cause a country to be poor and weak, but in terms of education, it cannot be said that it is not strong. Ye Mu's positioning for Confucianism is suitable for teaching and building culture.
Thinking of this, Ye Mu suddenly had an idea.
looked at Wu Ming, who had been led on the right for so long and had not moved, still with a calm face, relieved himself a little, and looked at the long-faced man again.
"Come with me into the city!" After a long while, seeing Ye Mu looking over again, the long-faced man spoke with great attention, and made a gesture of invitation again.
This time, Ye Mu politely bowed his hand to the long-faced man and walked straight forward. The long-faced man hurriedly followed.
With the experience of the last time, I entered the city with ease, and there was no barrier at the city gate.
"The scholar is here, come and see!"
Sure enough, I don't know who said it, and slowly someone shouted, and some people came towards Ye Mu from all around, and the faces of the people who came were different.
Some are excited, some have indignant expressions, and some have a calm and lively attitude.
Ye Mu looked at those people, ignored them anymore, pulled Wu Ming, and Bai Yunma and followed the long-faced man straight to the inn he guided.
Ye Mu left, and those people followed.
"Isn't it anything special?" someone began to shout, turning away, followed by a second person, a third person.
Almost everyone in the city knows that there is such a strange scholar, but not everyone cares much about it, surprise is surprise, shock is shock, but after listening to it for so many days, it is just to see the excitement, and when there is no excitement, it disperses.
There are constantly people joining this circle, and some people are leaving after seeing the appearance of this scholar because of things like collecting quilts.
After walking for about half an hour, when I finally arrived at the Tongguang Inn, the place that the long-faced man said, almost all the people in the entire circle walked away, but the rest of the people didn't leave anyway.
"Childe, please" The long-faced man looked at those people, waved his hand, and invited Ye Mu into the inn.
Ye Mu patted Bai Yun casually, and pulled Wu Ming to the long-faced man and was about to go inside.
"You are the scholar who imitated Confucius. ”
At this moment, a voice full of disdain sounded from the crowd.
