Once Earthly Branch started to act stupid and cute, Su Wen had nothing to do with it. Earthly Branch had explained to him more than once that some taboo content was inextricably related to its existence, and it could not leak it out, so no matter how much Su Wen asked,
Again, no answer.
Not long after, several green shell lobster men came over with a stone slab to take Su Wen away.
Jin Kaila wanted to stop it, but was stopped by Su Wen in the end.
If the lobster man wanted to harm him, he would have done it long ago. There is no need to lock him up.
The lobster man also explained his purpose of coming and asked him to "teach a lesson".
"Hold your slate and don't let it go away from you, otherwise..."
The green shell lobster man showed a sinister smile to Su Wen: "Dead."
After taking the slate, Su Wen noticed that this slate had been brought by the lobster man who had interrogated him before.
His name was engraved on it, and the word "Confucianism" was also marked on it. Su Wen also saw that in addition to the characters he recognized, there were some twists and turns, like a bunch of small insects.
The symbol should be the characters of the Lobster Man.
The slate weighed no more than ten kilograms, so Su Wen gently picked it up with one hand.
Seeing Su Wen's nonchalant look, the green shell lobster man couldn't help but say a few more words.
It means that the aura contained in the stone slab can create an area for him that is not affected by the surrounding environment. In this area, he is safe.
But once the slate is lost, or Su Wen takes the slate to a place he shouldn't go, the protection will be lost.
If Su Wen wants to survive at that time, it depends on how much weight he has. After all, the lobster man will only give him one piece of such a slate.
"Easy to say, easy to say..."
Su Wen immediately hugged Slate in his arms.
After leaving the pool, Su Wen discovered that the surrounding area was a metallic dark gray, and there were coral-like vegetation on the ground, but the color was also monotonous gray, and a murderous aura came towards him. In the distance, a thin layer of smoke shrouded the area.
In the gray fog, neither sight nor perception can penetrate the gray fog, and it is impossible to identify what is in front of you.
What made Su Wen even more weird was that he saw no traces of buildings. There were many high mountain cliffs around, covered with deep black holes. From a distance, they looked like dense honeycombs.
The iron-shelled beasts came in and out of these black holes, and Su Wen realized that the holes he saw were actually the iron-shelled beasts' lairs.
"Is this where you live?"
Su Wen couldn't help but ask the lobster man who was leading him forward.
"Of course not." The green-shell lobster man seemed to be relatively friendly to extraordinary people. Su Wen did not cause trouble or ask for trouble. It was also willing to talk to Su Wen.
After all, the leader said that human extraordinary people are the objects of their study. Having the opportunity to acquire human knowledge and master the human language will be of huge benefit to their advancement.
"That is the residence of the war beasts we raise... We live in many places, but they are all nests drilled by giant earthworms. Although they are spacious, they are also... dark enough."
"..."
Su Wen didn't know how to communicate with this lobster man. They all lived in caves, and they could still feel superior... What's the advantage of being dark enough?
But when Su Wen thought about it carefully, he realized that maybe the lobster people just like dark environments and are naturally like this, so they cannot forcefully use human standards to measure their preferences.
"Coming……"
After walking for a while, the lobster man pointed ahead and said.
Through the thin gray fog, Su Wen saw a hazy shadow, which was very majestic.
"here it is?"
"The altar...is also a school!"
The lobster man replied proudly: "The leader said that knowledge is the most important thing after domination..."
The lobster man's voice suddenly dropped: "The priest has seen you, you can go alone, we will wait for you here..."
Su Wen also noticed that eyes from the altar were looking at him.
And he also saw that Shen Buhao was holding a slate and being held down by two red lobster men, but he was also holding a large conch, which was obviously cooked.
"Junior brother, are you here too?"
Seeing Su Wen, Shen Buhao stopped and said with a wry smile: "Look, this is what I get from teaching these lobster people, a cooked conch...I'll leave some for you."
"...Thank you, Senior Brother Shen." Su Wenwen wanted to refuse, but he finally accepted Shen Buhao's kindness.
"You have to remember... when they ask you what you want to eat, you must answer the specific name of the food, and the cooking method must be good, otherwise the problem will be huge..."
Shen Buhao smiled bitterly: "I didn't understand anything when I first came here. I said I wanted to eat seafood... so I ate it every day. At first, it was even raw for me..."
"Walk!"
The Red Lobster Man didn't give Shen Buhao a chance to complain about the food.
"..."
Seeing Shen Buhao carefully holding the conch, Su Wen sighed in his heart.
It seemed that Shen Buhao suffered a lot because of one bite. He couldn't help but want to tell Shen Buhao that he still had a lot of food stored in his forbidden items. The ingredients were rich and there was no need to kowtow to the lobster man.
"Confucian scholar?"
An old voice broke Su Wen's sigh.
Su Wen frowned slightly and saw a rickety lobster man walking down from the altar.
It's just that this lobster man is different from anything he has ever seen.
This guy turned out to be black, and his whole head was completely black.
But the colors of the lobster men's armor are inherently weird, and it doesn't matter what color they are. Since there are white and red, it's not surprising that there are black lobster men.
But this lobster man... was still wearing clothes, especially Confucian clothes, with a Confucian crown on his forehead sword, which looked awkward.
"Yes."
Su Wen responded in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.
"Well……"
The black lobster man nodded with satisfaction: "It does have a Confucian atmosphere... but it's a bit mixed. Young people are so ambitious and want to bite off more than they can chew... hum..."
"..."
Su Wen didn't know how to refute this old lobster for a while.
It is true that he is a Confucian scholar, but he is also a serious historian. Among all his cultural backgrounds, the Confucian approach is at the bottom.
That's why the black lobster people would say that his smell was mixed, thinking that it was caused by his lack of pure knowledge. Naturally, Su Wen would not explain it to the old lobster, so he acquiesced.
"Come up here... Humph, I thought there was a Confucian scholar who could teach these juniors well, but I didn't expect to find someone with such a low level. Maybe he can't teach me as well as me..."
Su Wen said nothing, there was no point arguing with this guy.
After walking up to the altar, Su Wen saw a large circle of crayfish people sitting on the altar.
These lobster men were all light khaki in color, with slates placed in front of them. They seemed to be used to practice calligraphy. Su Wen did not see the carving knife, but when he saw the large claws of the lobster men, he knew clearly that the lobster men were No need for this.
When the crayfish man saw Su Wen, his little eyes rolled around, full of curiosity, but Su Wen still saw a few crayfish sitting further back, staring at him and drooling, and kept swallowing.
He looked like he wanted to eat him.
"Sir, here you are, why don't you be polite!"
When the old lobster man saw the cubs standing still, he became furious and slammed the bone stick in his hand on the ground.
The crayfish cubs were so frightened that their colors changed, and many of them cried on the spot. The rest quickly stood up, waved their claws and saluted Su Wen.
"Okay, okay..."
Su Wen's heartbeat accelerated and he felt dizzy.
This old lobster is really a bit scary.
He casually tapped the bone staff, almost inflicting heavy injuries on him. If the Earthly Branches had not been doing their best to protect his heart and soul, he would have been severely injured at this time.
Su Wen's understanding of the old lobster man's strength has reached a new level.
This guy at least has the strength of a white lobster man. Let alone him, even if Tao Gaoguin sees it, he will probably have to take a detour.
"It's such a hard life..."
Su Wen sighed secretly. With such a terrifying lobster man sitting in the nest, the possibility of him escaping was slim.
"Mr. Su..." Old Lobster was dressed as a Confucian scholar, and his behavior was imitating the etiquette of a Confucian disciple. He saluted Su Wen and said: "We have never caught a Confucian gentleman before, so Confucian knowledge is all taught by Lao Tzu.
Ahem, I, ahem... I taught you personally... I am ashamed to say that when I met the Master, I only studied Confucianism with him for a few days. The Master left a volume of scriptures without annotations, which I studied for many years.
I have learned a lot and taught it to the little ones... You should first study their knowledge and find out the details, so that you can... because... you should teach according to your talents."
"……classic?"
When Su Wen heard this, he was surprised.
No wonder the old lobster man wears a Confucian shirt and a Confucian crown. It turns out that he has also encountered a saint and been taught by a saint.
But this is not surprising. To this day, Jin Gaila still remembers that he was once ridden by a saint.
"Zi Liuzi, come and carry a section for me sir!"
The old lobster looked around, found a crayfish among the crayfish that he thought was quite authentic, and showed it to Su Wen.
"Carry, carry what?"
The six men stood up tremblingly.
""Whispering Language"! How did I teach you!"
The old lobster was furious.
"Oh oh oh... you're talking so much... I'm just picking people up and trying to reason with them." Qie Liuzi almost cried out of fright.
"Well... memorize a paragraph and then explain your understanding to the teacher."
The old lobster finally had a smile on his wrinkled face.
"Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you...Learning without thinking will lead to indifference, and thinking without learning will lead to laziness...It's a great pleasure to have friends from far away..."
Qie Liuzi stuttered while reciting the Analects of Confucius.
Su Wen also nodded. This old lobster man was able to teach the lobster man the Analects of Confucius and memorize it well, which can be considered as a very attentive teaching.
"Tell me your understanding, sir." Old Lobster secretly glanced at Su Wen's expression with his small eyes, and he was also very proud.
"I won't give it to others if I don't want it myself..."
When Qie Liuzi spoke what he understood, it was much smoother than reciting it.
"???"
Question marks popped up in Su Wen's mind.
"Okay! Where's the one at the back?" Old Lobster beamed.
""If you learn the Confucius' strength without learning the Confucius' thoughts, you will be lost; if you only learn the Confucius' thoughts without learning the Confucius' martial ethics, you will be beaten to death..."
"Very good, you studied very hard!" Old Lobster was full of praise for Cheer Liuzi.
"Isn't it nice to have friends from far away come to fight together?"
Qie Liuzi was encouraged by the old lobster, and his voice became much louder.
