Chapter 1169 Iron Sword, Can Qin, Old Servant, Teenager
Middle-earth is still prosperous, with numerous cities and towns, and the most powerful dynasty in the world. However, this dynasty is no longer the Yin Dynasty...
People are not the people they once were.
In the prosperous east of Middle-earth, there is a place called Yanyun Realm. There used to be seven dynasties that competed with each other. But now, things have changed and people have changed. The seven dynasties have long since disappeared, and there is only one dynasty named "Song".
To the north and south of the Song Dynasty, there was a county still called Tanxiang County. However, the once glorious academy no longer existed, leaving only ruins.
However, in this overgrown ruins, the legend of that man is still circulating.
From time to time, scholars come to pay their respects.
"The legendary Sandalwood Academy is here."
In front of the ruins of Tanxiang Academy, a young man dressed as a scholar pointed to the large ruins in front of him, and the broken walls could still be faintly seen in the grass, "Oh, I never thought that the academy that was once so glorious could not withstand the corrosion of time..."
"This is more than five thousand years." Another scholar said, "For more than five thousand years, even Dayan, who unified the seven kingdoms, has passed away, let alone an academy?"
"It is said that Tanxiang Academy was famous all over the world and produced many great sages. Even celebrities from China came to study..."
"Indeed, it is recorded in ancient books."
"It's a pity that there are only ruins left now, and I can't get a glimpse of the sages. I often think about how great it would be if I was born in the 'Jianwen' era. Not only can I get a glimpse of the sages of Sandalwood, but I can also
Appreciate the prosperous age of 'Jianwen's rule'..."
Jianwen was a reign name in the early days of the Yan Dynasty, which lasted for sixty-six years.
Many scholars nodded when they heard this.
In their view, "Jianwen's rule" was the best era.
It was not only the prosperity of the people, but also the glory of the Confucian scholars. In this era, countless great Confucians and great sages were born...
Even famous people from China came to study.
"I really want to return to Dayan in my dream, see the Tanxiang Academy, and meet the predecessors and sages." Another scholar said, "It's a pity that even Tanxiang Academy, alas..."
There were seven or eight carriages parked in front of the ruins, and a dozen young scholars in their twenties.
I saw them walking around for only half a circle, pointing at the ruins, and then left with a sigh and contentment.
After they left, another carriage stopped here.
I don't know when.
A figure appeared in front of the ruins of the academy. It turned from light to thick, from virtual to real. It was Feng Qingyan who disappeared from the world of Kyushu. He stood there and looked at the world, and he had a general understanding of the world.
learn.
"Sanxiang Academy?"
His eyes fell on the ruins, and countless images flashed through his mind, finally stopping at more than five thousand years ago...
More than five thousand years ago.
Tanxiang Academy was just a county school in Tanxiang County of the Yan Dynasty of the Seven Kingdoms at that time. Although it was quite famous in the Yan Dynasty, it was not a famous school.
In the Seven Kingdoms of Yanyun, he has no reputation.
At that time, the highest institution of learning in the Yan Dynasty was Taixue Palace...
However, since the beginning of spring one year, this ordinary county school in the Yan Dynasty has welcomed a student, a blind young man carrying an iron sword and a broken harp on his back, and accompanied by an old servant in sixties.
Everything started to change.
As a result, in later generations, the Sandalwood Academy became famous all over the world, and even celebrities from China came to study.
"When the sky is strong, a gentleman will strive to strengthen himself; when the terrain is weak, a gentleman will be virtuous."
At this moment, Feng Qingyan was thinking softly. He not only looked at the blind boy, but also saw the boy standing in front of the training hall of Tanxiang Academy for a long time.
I don't know what I'm thinking about.
In front of the gate of Tanxiang Academy, there is a huge stone with this instruction written on it.
This is the famous motto of Tanxiang Academy. Over the past thousands of years, it has inspired countless students to strive for self-improvement and struggle throughout their lives.
Perhaps it is because of this that Li Sheng came into being in later generations...
In the picture that flashed through his mind, Feng Qingyan looked at the blind boy, wearing a light gray cloth, simple and ordinary student attire.
At first glance, there is nothing outstanding about the whole person.
But what is surprising is that that thin face has a pair of exceptionally clear eyes.
Extremely pure and quiet.
There was not even the slightest distracting thoughts.
This was a blind boy, but he had such clear eyes, which even surprised Feng Qingyan.
in the screen.
The young man stood in front of the boulder for a long time, raising his head slightly.
I saw people around him come, leave, gather, and disperse, but they didn't move, they just "gazed" quietly at the two lines of words on the boulder.
Feng Qingyan's gaze then fell on the boulder.
I can see that the characters are like falling stones, the paintings are like summer clouds, the hooks are like bent gold, the weapons are like crossbows, there are images vertically and horizontally, and there is ambition in the low and high position.
It is really good to have such calligraphy in this small world.
However, what attracted the blind boy was not the profound artistic conception of calligraphy, but the thought-provoking meaning it contained.
now.
Feng Qingyan suddenly smiled, a faint smile appearing on his face.
After a moment, his eyes fell on the old man behind the blind boy. He saw that the old man was carrying a big book box. He looked like he was in his sixties, with gray hair and an old face. His thin body was covered by the big book box.
A little bit rickety under the pressure...
"This person..."
Feng Qingyan was slightly surprised.
However, after all, time has passed and only the traces on the ruins can be captured, so it is impossible to feel it too clearly. However, it can be proved that the old servant of the blind boy is not simple, because his power has exceeded this small world.
"I see."
At this time, Feng Qingyan also understood.
This seemingly frail old servant is actually the protector of the blind boy.
Feng Qingyan watched all the way, looking at the blind boy's past and the process of studying in the academy.
Before I knew it, it was getting dark.
However, Feng Qingyan was still watching, not for a moment, but like an ordinary person, with a smile appearing on his face from time to time.
"Is this the legendary Sandalwood Academy?"
In another part of the ruins, a woman's voice whispered, "It's all weeds. Isn't there really only ruins left?"
"It's been thousands of years, and there must be only ruins left."
Another female voice said.
"There are only ruins left, so what are we here to do?"
"Pilgrimage."
"Every pilgrimage is full of weeds, not even rubble..."
"What do you know? This is called pilgrimage, paying homage, and remembering the past..." The woman seemed to be rolling her eyes and continued walking in the dark night, but no lights were on. "This is Tanxiang Academy, the most powerful academy in the past.
Even the great sages from China come to study, do you think they are great?"
"Shit, there is nothing, but I still look up and reminisce about the past..."
A woman said dissatisfied.
"If you don't understand, don't tell me..."
"You understand, tell me."
"Let me tell you, there is a senior in my clan who once followed Li Sheng..."
"Tch, who doesn't know? But, can you prove that it's true? It's not fabricated by our clan? Do you just want to gain Li Sheng's fame?"
"Yeah, what do you mean?"
"Hmph, it must be fake. Will Li Sheng like us?"
"All living beings are equal, how could Li Sheng look down on us? I heard that beside Li Sheng, in addition to the ancestors of my clan, there is also a mean-mouthed crow..."
"No, it's all made up by later generations. Who believes it?"
"I believe."
"..."
In the dark night.
Two girls who looked to be fourteen or fifteen years old were walking in the grass among the ruins. Although they did not light up the lights, they could see at night...
Not long after, the two girls stopped, and one of them said, "Xiao Ning, is this why we traveled thousands of miles to come here?"
"if not?"
"If the legendary Tanxiang Academy were like this, I would never come here."
"You do not understand……"
"You understand!"
"Let me tell you, this is the majestic Sandalwood Academy. Even if there are only ruins left, there must be hidden treasures that you and I can't imagine."
"Treasure? If there is a treasure, it would have been taken away long ago. Why are we still waiting for us? Besides, who are we? We are not even human beings. Even if Li Sheng really left any treasure in the academy, it would not be our turn.
, stop having such wishful thinking."
"Not necessarily, not necessarily." Xiao Ning shook her head and said, "Treasures are not necessarily tangible, but they are also intangible. Moreover, the treasure I am talking about is not the treasure you think."
"Intangible? What kind of treasure is that?"
"have no idea."
"..."
"Actually, endless knowledge is also a treasure in my heart..."
"..."
"Xiao Ning, even if you want to study, you can go to other academies. What can you learn by coming to this ruins?"
"Oh, I've already said it, but you don't understand. I'm here on a pilgrimage to remember the past..."
"Okay, then you can go on a pilgrimage. I'm sleepy and want to sleep."
"..."
Two girls were wandering around in the grass of the ruins, one was very interested, the other was bored.
In front of the ruins, Feng Qingyan still watched with interest. He was no longer dressed in white clothes, but in gray Confucian clothes, and his whole person had changed.
"Hey, there's someone there."
"I saw it."
"Wow, this guy is so handsome."
"He is indeed handsome, but don't you think he is a little strange?"
"Strange? Where is the strangeness?"
"It's late at night, and a person stands there without moving, with a mysterious smile on his face from time to time. Don't you think it's weird?"
"Well……"
"This person has a problem..."
"Forget it, ignore him, let's continue shopping."
"You go ahead, I won't go. I want to see the handsome guy. What do you think, if I marry him? He's really handsome..."
"You are seeking death. He is a human and we are monsters."
"So what if you're a demon? Demons can't marry? Didn't you say that our ancestors once followed Li Sheng?"
"Could this be the same thing?"
"..."
"I tell you, when you enter the human world, you must not mess around. The Demon Suppression Division has slaughtered many of our demon clans. If we are discovered by the Demon Suppression Division, we will definitely be hunted down by them. You said, in the future
With our strength, can we escape?"
"Then you still come here for pilgrimage?"
"These are two different things. I'm not only here for pilgrimage, but also to learn knowledge..."
"What knowledge?"
"You will know in the future. In short, the ruins of Tanxiang Academy must not be simple. Maybe there are treasures hidden."
"There is a fart treasure..."
"You're a girl, can you be more refined?"
"I am a demon..."
"There are no distinctions between men and women among demons?"
"Okay, you go and reminisce about the past, I'll look at the handsome guys here."
"Xiaolu, I've heard that the Demon Suppression Department will find some pretty boys to lure our clan to show up..."
"he……"
"possible."
"Then, doesn't it mean that there are people from the Demon Suppression Department ambushing nearby?" Xiao Lu was startled and said, "It's over, have we been discovered?"
"I'm just saying it's possible."
"Scared me..."
"However, you still have to be careful not to be tempted by him." Xiao Ning warned, "I tell you, you must never show up. Do you understand?"
"knew."
But in the blink of an eye, the night passed.
Feng Qingyan stood there and looked at it all night. After smiling, he stopped looking and turned to look at the east.
A red sun is about to rise from the bottom of the mountain.
Feng Qingyan pondered for a moment, then faced the east, straightened his clothes, and began to recite:
"Guan Guan Jiu Jiu, in the river island. A graceful lady, a gentleman likes to fight."
"Scattered water plants are flowing from left to right. Fair ladies are longing for them."
After many years, Feng Qingyan once again read aloud in front of the rising sun. His words were still clear and resonant, with a strong charm.
It's like traveling from ancient time and space.
At this moment, the words that came out of his mouth turned into pale white words, floating in the sky above the ruins of Tanxiang Academy. A faint aura of awe and awe then arose from the sky and the earth, from the stream, the grass, and the stones.
, permeating the heaven and earth.
It continues to rise, gather, and diffuse, forming a faint white mist.
"Yo yo, the deer roars, eating the apples of the wild."
"I have guests, harp blowing Sheng."
In just a moment, the heaven and earth were filled with a mighty and awe-inspiring aura, gathering from all sides of the heaven and earth, exuding the most rigid, great, and righteous aura.
But it didn't harm any living beings.
Demons are like this, ghosts are like this.
In the grass of the ruins, the two girls were suddenly awakened by the sound of reading, especially Xiao Ning, whose soul was beating violently, and there was an indescribable feeling in her heart. It seemed that this was what she wanted to find...
Perhaps this is the treasure of Tanxiang Academy.
But soon, she no longer had any distracting thoughts, and she was completely immersed in reciting, as if she was swimming through the entire Confucian classics in response to the sound of reciting.
The other girl was also like this, as if she was intoxicated.
They are indeed not human beings, but two little foxes who secretly left the fox clan, wandered into the world, and were deceived by the world of mortals.
Modify later
The sound of reciting could be heard far away.
Like a mighty one.
At this moment, scholars in the city dozens of miles away from the ruins of Tanxiang Academy could faintly hear it, which made their hearts tremble...
