"Brother, this road is right, why is it getting more and more deserted. ”

In the forest, a group of people marched slowly.

Most of the people in the team were dressed as Confucian scholars, carrying boxes and cages or holding bookcases, looking left and right from time to time, their faces full of wariness and worry.

Although this forest is not very deep, it is lush and leafy, blocking the sun, the temperature around is very low, and when the wind blows, the cool air is swishing, making people cold and worried.

Leading the team were two men dressed as mountain people, carrying bows and arrows on their backs and holding short knives, chopping and chopping dead branches blocking the road from time to time, opening up a way.

When the man who opened the road heard Confucian's question, he replied: "My family all rely on this forest to eat, I dare not say that I know the way, but I am also familiar with it, there are many gentlemen who have entered the forest in the past few days, and this road has also been walked a few times, and it will not be mistaken." ”

"If you've been through it a few times, why do you have to reopen the way?"

The roadrunner was not annoyed, turned his head and said politely: "So that a few sons know that there is no road in the forest, even if they walk through it, there is no fixed path, maybe they walked on this one yesterday, and come back today, and if there is a few deviations, they will have to reopen the road." ”

"That makes sense," some scholars nodded in agreement, but others asked, "Are there a lot of people coming?"

As soon as he asked this, without waiting for the passer-by to respond, another mountain man interjected: "Since the news of Mr. Qiu's residence here spread, there have been more people than one day by day, and there were only three or four people at the beginning, but today, from the morning to the present, there have been seven or eight waves in a row, Gongzi and others are already the ninth wave, and most of our village are young and strong, and they have not done anything else, just leading the way." ”

The Confucian who was the first to ask said with a smile: "Brother, this is a lot of money, which is much safer than hunting." ”

"What Childe said is," the pioneer moved forward again at this time, "and we are looking forward to Mr. Qiu settling here." It's better to build a academy and spread out like those great sages, so that our village won't have to be so busy. ”

"Brother, this is taken for granted, although Qiu Yan is famous, what kind of talent is it to open a academy? ”

Having said that, Qiu Yan is not a low learner, and he is not eclectic, and he may really be able to achieve something in the future. ”

"Even if he built a academy here. But as soon as you get the title deed from the government, I'm afraid that you will have to move the surrounding villages, and you may not be able to get rid of it at that time. ”

......

After listening to the words of the roadrunner, the Confucian students in the team immediately started talking about each word, and the topic fell to Qiu Yan unconsciously.

It turned out that the reason why these people appeared here was to visit Qiu Yan.

Qiu Yan's residence is located in the forest, which was originally hidden, but it can be evaluated by Wenxuan. The reputation became louder and louder, and the news that Han Weier and others came to visit gradually spread, which made some people think about it.

At first, it was people who wanted to try their luck here. hoped to make a name for himself through Qiu Yan's affairs, but most of them were lucky, but they failed to do so, but others came one after another.

Not too much. Gao Song and others in the Wenxuan Building, who had played against Qiu Yan, visited together and talked with Qiu Yan about the mysteries. Let other Confucian students who come to meet and join in.

Afterwards, whether it was Gao Song and others, or admirers, they all benefited a lot, and after going back, their knowledge and knowledge were significantly improved, which brought a lot of impact and attracted more scholars to try to come.

However, deep in the forest here, scholars and Confucian scholars rarely practice their strength and boil their bodies, and it is not easy to travel in the forest, so there are very few people who enter the forest alone, and most of them go together, and ask one or two hunters to lead the way, and protect themselves at the same time.

In addition to the most capable people, even the ordinary villagers will be invited, and they can get a lot of money by taking people into the forest, and sometimes the Confucian scholars will raise the price in order to compete for the guide.

The reason why this situation happened, on the one hand, is because there are many people with good faces among the scholars, but there are also those who do not hesitate to spend money in the rich family, and there is another reason, because many of the scholars are not residents of the Eastern Capital, but they came from a study tour, because the Xingtan Dao gathered in the city, and the result was not able to enter the forest, but it was not easy to come once, and he did not want to return empty-handed, so he looked for an opportunity in the city.

The current team of Confucian scholars gathered here for this reason, but the purpose is not uniform, some of them heard the rumors and came to ask for advice and confirm their knowledge, some of them wanted to use Qiu Yan as the stepping stone, and they were a blockbuster, and some of them came to join in the fun.

They talked along the way, gradually relaxed, the fear of the forest gradually faded, and their minds slowly became active.

"I came to the Eastern Capital this time, I wanted to worship in a college, and I also wanted to find one or two Confucians to ask for advice, but I didn't expect that the Eastern Capital was different from a small place like home, and I ran into walls everywhere, and I had all the closed doors. In the team, Chen Cai thought secretly.

On the side, his friend Su Yan, whom he met on the way to study, was thinking of something else, and a gleam flashed in his eyes from time to time, revealing a faint sense of ambition.

After a few more steps, the scene ahead suddenly opened up, and the group walked out of the forest, and the first thing that caught their eyes was a few acres of farmland, followed by a few houses not far away.

Not far behind the house, there is also a mountain temple.

This temple has been abandoned for a long time, but in the past few days, there has gradually been incense, and many scholars have stayed in it, showing a certain respect.

"This is it, it is indeed not easy to carve out such a place in the forest, there must be masters around Qiu Yan. Su Yan glanced around and had a guess in his heart.

"A few people, our brothers will lead the way here, return first, when a few people go back, they will wait here, and when the time comes, gather people and go back together. The two mountain people who led the way hugged their fists and said goodbye, they were in a hurry to go back and bring the next group of people over.

When you come to the forest, you have to go back, the scholars go back and forth, you need someone to lead the way, protect, and when you come, when you go back, you have to gather several groups of people who come over in the middle of the day and bring them back at one time.

Bidding farewell to the two mountain people, Chen Cai and the others walked forward, carefully bypassing the farmland, and walking towards the houses, the further they went, the more people there were, and there was even a simple tea shop in the middle, in which several men were busy, and many scholars sat on the tables and chairs.

"Interesting, this Qiu Yan's fame can have such a big impact. Su Yan muttered, looked carefully, only to find that it was a tea shop, in fact, there were simple dishes to offer, many scholars in the province were waiting here, starving, but the dishes and taste did not dare to compliment, at most they could only satisfy hunger.

Of course, he didn't know that the few people who were in charge of the spoon and ran the hall in the tea shop were high-level disciples who controlled the way of emptiness, and if they talked about cultivation and killing, of course they were doing it, but they could make tea and cook, and they were still novices.

Walking and stopping, several people came to the front of the house, where a courtyard had been built, saving others from rushing up and disturbing the quiet.

Hu Qi greeted him, asked Chen Cai and the others to explain their intentions, and then pointed to a table not far away and said, "If you want to ask my son-in-law for advice, you have to go there first to record a name, talk to that person, and judge your knowledge." ”

"Hmph," Su Yan sneered, "This hasn't become a grandmaster yet, so I'll put it on the shelf first." ”

Hu Qi was not annoyed, he obviously saw a lot, shook his head and said: "This gentleman misunderstood, it's not that my son-in-law wants to put up a fight, but there are too many people here, if you don't screen, you can't be busy, the son-in-law chose to cultivate and study here, it was for purity, and now it's to this point, and you can't drive people away, of course, you have to make a charter." ”

Chen Cai nodded and said: "I'll wait to come over for advice, think about myself as the center, I will think that Mr. Qiu is acting domineering, but on the other hand, everyone comes over like us, but Mr. Qiu is only one person, how can he deal with it?"

He came to Dongdu to study, hit a wall successively, and understood some things, if today's incident happened in which academy in Dongdu, no one would be dissatisfied, but take it for granted, but as soon as it was changed to Qiu Yan, others felt that they were neglected, just because the people who came here felt that they were extraordinary, regarded themselves as the protagonists, and couldn't bear it.

Su Yan still sneered, but he didn't insist, walked to the side table, reported his name, and then was asked a few questions.

I didn't expect the other party to think about it, and the answer was fluent.

"Oh?" Su Yan was stunned for a moment, let go of his contempt, and looked at the other party carefully, only to notice that although the person who was named was wearing coarse cloth clothes, he had an extraordinary temperament and a handsome face, not like an ordinary person.

"Dare to ask Brother Taigui's surname, who is the teacher of learning?" Not only Su Yan, but Chen Cai also had doubts, and asked out loud, such a character has become a pen polisher, of course, it makes people wonderful.

"In the next Wang Yifu, this knowledge ...... Obtained from Qiu Yan. "The name of the person who came to this record is the only son of the master of the Void Dao, Wang Yifu.

When he said this, his voice was a little cold, and he didn't use an honorific title for Qiu Yan's name, which was a little awkward, but Chen and Su were both shocked by the meaning of the words, but they didn't care about the details.

Could it be that this Qiu Yan's own reputation has not been fully established, and he has begun to teach others without reservation?"

It's not just the two of them who have this kind of doubt, but Wang Yifu is also average.

A few days ago, he got a book from Qiu Yan's hand, the title page was marked with the word "Zhi Xing", and he was shocked after reading it, and found that the book was subtle and simple, and it was all profound knowledge, enough to be a family heirloom!

"Such profound knowledge, even masters and apprentices will not easily pass it on, I have a grudge against Qiu Yan, how can he rest assured that he will teach me? There must be a mystery in it!" (To be continued......)
