Che Gai ran all the way to the mountain cabin, crying and admitting his mistake and begging for forgiveness.
In front of everyone, Feng Qingyan said gently: "No one is a sage. Who can have no faults? If you can correct your mistakes, there is no greater good."
"Brother Feng is righteous." Some students who followed to watch the excitement shouted.
"Brother Feng is too kind-hearted. How can he be forgiven after so much harm after crying? Doesn't that mean he has done something wrong and is not responsible?" Some students were so indignant that they couldn't help but stand up and said: "Brother Feng, repay evil with kindness, how can you repay evil with kindness?"
Virtue?"
Another student said loudly: "The Master said: Repay evil with straightness and repay kindness with kindness!"
"It's really inappropriate to forgive in just one sentence."
"What do you think we should do?" Feng Qingyan asked with a smile.
"The academy is a holy place. How can it be defiled by someone with bad moral character? This person should be expelled from the academy!" A student said loudly, "What do you think?"
"As it should be!"
"Expelled from the academy, we are ashamed to associate with this person."
When Che Gai heard this, his face turned pale and his whole body trembled. He looked at Feng Qingyan with some despair, but the other party said with a smile: "This is the voice of all the students. Do you know what to do?"
After Che Gai heard this, his body was shaking, and then he fainted.
Fu Lin on the side sighed with regret. After saluting Feng Qingyan, he and several others carried Che Gai into the carriage...
If you had admitted your mistake early, why would it have happened?
After a while, everyone dispersed.
Feng Qingyan was sitting in the living room with a puzzled face. Before he could catch the person who spread the rumors and caused trouble, the person who spread the rumors ran out and cried bitterly to admit his mistake?
What's happening here?
He was a little confused. Did Che Gai really realize his mistake?
Regardless of whether he really knows he was wrong, or sincerely apologizes, since he has been kicked out of the "academy", let's forgive him for now.
Feng Qingyan thought so.
At this time, the evil ghost that had been pressing on Che Gai's "head" finally retreated in the blink of an eye. At dawn, Che Gai did not say goodbye to Fu Lin and others, but left in a hurry with his servants.
…
Early morning, thatched cottage.
An Xiu looked at Feng Qingyan in surprise.
He was not surprised that Feng Qingyan was protected by ghosts and gods. Although people who were protected by ghosts and gods were very rare in the world, it was not uncommon.
But it is strange that under the shining of the Confucian star flag, there are actually evil spirits entering Bo City.
Logically speaking, it must be at least a serious evil spirit...
It seems that the ghosts and gods they protect are not simple.
After the lesson, An Xiu pondered for a moment and said: "Qingyan, you are protected by ghosts and gods. You can only scare Xiaoxiao, but you can never do evil with it, let alone do whatever you want with it. Do you understand?"
Feng Qingyan was stunned for a moment and wondered: "What kind of ghosts and gods are protecting you?"
"You don't know?"
An Xiu was a little surprised and said, "You don't know, so it's not surprising." Then he explained what ghosts and gods meant.
"Most ghosts and gods approach people with sinister intentions, taking advantage of people's greed and gradually inducing them to do evil..."
"Qingyan understands." Feng Qingyan bowed and said.
"Also, don't think that everything will end if ghosts and gods protect you." An Xiu added, "The holy way has many means to suppress ghosts and gods, either a pen used by a great Confucian, or a pen left by an old Confucian scholar.
A broken book or a casual sentence from a great sage can suppress many ghosts and gods. Even if the power of ghosts and gods reaches the sky and has the ability to overturn rivers and seas, they can only be suppressed in the world of the holy way..."
"Please rest assured, sir, Qingyan will not use this for evil nor for profit." Feng Qingyan said respectfully.
An Xiu nodded and said: "A gentleman should respect ghosts and gods and stay away from them."
"Qingyan understands." Feng Qingyan bowed and said.
An Xiu didn't say much.
…
Noon.
Feng Qingyan was reviewing "Ya Jing" in the wooden house.
"Brother Feng, are you here?" Zhou Chang's voice came from outside. When he saw Feng Qingyan coming out, he said, "Brother Feng is studying? Chang has disturbed me? Please forgive me."
"Not really, just relax a bit." Feng Qingyan said with a smile.
"The way of civility and martial arts requires relaxation. Brother Feng, you don't have to study hard all day long. In your free time, you can enjoy the mountains and rivers and enjoy yourself, which is more conducive to studying." Zhou Chang said, "Let's go and see the mountain gods."
"Mountain God?"
Feng Qingyan was shocked and asked quickly: "What mountain god?"
"you do not know?"
Zhou Chang was a little surprised and said: "Brother Feng, look at you, you have been immersed in studying all day long, and you don't even know what is happening around you, right? Although you talk, you don't hear what's going on outside the window.
I only read the books of sages. However, as a disciple of Confucianism, you also need to know everything in the world..."
After a long speech, Zhou Chang finally stopped.
Feng Qingyan saw the opportunity and said quickly: "Brother Zhou, you said you were going to see the mountain god. What on earth are you talking about?"
"In the past few days, weird things have happened from time to time on the west side of the academy. Maybe the newly built pavilion suddenly disappeared the next day, or the pillars that were originally vermilion suddenly turned green at night, or a good attic suddenly disappeared.
For two halves, or the vegetation grows wildly and becomes a dense forest overnight..."
"Also, there were even landslides and ground cracks, which caused many craftsmen to panic, thinking it was haunted, and were unwilling to construct on the west side."
Zhou Chang said as he walked.
"Of course, it's impossible to be haunted. I really don't know which evil spirit has the guts to cause trouble in the academy. He's simply looking for death."
Zhou Chang said with a smile.
It is true that no evil ghost dares to come to the academy to cause trouble, not even the evil spirits of the Confucian level. A star flag can wipe out all ghosts.
The evil ghosts who dared to come to the academy to cause trouble have already died.
"Since it's not an evil spirit, it might be a spirit in the mountains, but Master An has never taken action to suppress it, which shows that the spirit has no malicious intent." Zhou Chang said with a smile.
"What kind of monster?" Feng Qingyan asked.
In fact, at this moment, his tense heart relaxed a little. Fortunately, Master An did not suppress it, otherwise Jiu Ge might...
"I don't know."
Zhou Chang shook his head, and then whispered: "However, some students speculate that it may not be a spirit, but the god of the mountain."
"Mountain God?" Feng Qingyan asked.
Zhou Chang nodded and said: "Actually, many students go to the mountain god, hoping to gain the mountain god's favor, or to gain the opportunity of the mountain god."
Favor can be explained, but what is the chance of the mountain god?
Feng Qingyan couldn't help but ask.
"I heard that a wisp of the essence of the mountain from the mountain god can prevent people from all kinds of diseases, can make people's thoughts spring up, can make people have bright eyes and night vision, and many other wonderful effects." Zhou Chang shook his head and said, "However, I don't know whether it is true or not.
It’s just what everyone else says.”
Feng Qingyan was a little surprised. The mountain god still had such an opportunity?
"Then has anyone seen the mountain god?"
"No, the mountain god has been invisible and has not come out to see the students." Zhou Chang said, "Actually, it is more likely to be an ordinary mountain spirit. How can a mountain god be born so easily? I am afraid that those students who want to find opportunities with the mountain god will be disappointed.
Already."
At this time, Feng Qingyan was a little confused. Why did Jiu Ge come out to cause trouble?
Still causing trouble in the Confucian Eighty-one Academy.
"By the way, all the students also made a bet. Whoever wins the favor of the mountain god first will get a sword of Xuehuaxuan." Zhou Chang said, maybe he knew that Feng Qingyan didn't know much about Xuehuaxuan. After all, it was not produced in the north, so he gave a rough explanation.
After a while, he said, "This snowflake is a good thing. It is one of the four treasures of the study that scholars dream of. It cannot be burned by fire and cannot be soaked in water. It will not rot for thousands of years and will be immortal for ten thousand years. It can calm the mind and bring peace of mind. It has a price but no market. Money can't be sold."
You can’t buy many, it can be said that one page costs one gold..."
