When the students from Xianyuan Academy saw Zhang Zhongxing's portrait, their expressions changed slightly.
They looked at the scholar in front of them warily: "Who is he to you?"
The middle-aged scholar answered calmly: "We studied in the same academy and studied under the same teacher."
The students from Xiyuan Academy immediately retreated, took out their pens, ink, paper and inkstones.
"Okay, are you here to provoke and cause trouble?" The leading student glared at the middle-aged scholar opposite.
Seeing this, the scholar shook his head slightly: "I have no hostility, I just want to find my classmates.
I know that he has a wild personality and acts hastily, which may have offended your academy.
Although I don’t know the details, I am here to apologize to you on his behalf.”
A student from Xianyuan Academy opposite said coldly: "He injured many of our teachers and classmates. Can you write it off with just a simple apology?"
The scholar spread his hands and said: "I really have no other choice. I am looking for him now. If your academy has any news about him, you might as well tell me. After I find him, I will take him to the door to apologize in person."
"You really don't know where he is?"
This, an old man, walked out of the gate of Xianyuan Academy.
Seeing this, the Xiyuan students all saluted: "Dean."
The middle-aged scholar shook his head: "I really don't know, so I searched around. I heard that someone had seen him here, so I came to disturb him."
After pondering for a long time, the old man asked: "What do you call your Excellency?"
"My surname is Liao, and my given name is Ping." The middle-aged scholar replied with a smile.
"Mr. Liao..." The old man nodded.
His eyes fell on the portrait of Zhang Zhongxing in the scholar's hand: "I don't know the specific whereabouts of this person, but I have heard that he visited some prestigious academies and poetry and calligraphy families in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and his whereabouts were unknown after that.
Before that, the last place he visited was the Wang family in Lianyuan County."
Liao Ping nodded: "That's great, thank you very much."
After bidding farewell to the old man, he left Xianyuan Academy.
The old man watched his figure go away, remaining silent.
The student Xianyuan on the side looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn’t dare to say anything.
After a long time, a teacher spoke softly: "Dean, just now..."
"His knowledge and cultivation are even higher than that of the crazy student named Zhang."
The old man said slowly: "It is also above the old age."
As soon as these words came out, everyone around him was shocked.
Their dean is a great scholar in the ninth realm, the realm of peace in the world!
There are very few people in the entire Western Zhou Dynasty who can compare with it.
Zhang Zhongxing came to visit and made a big fuss in Xiuyuan Academy, injuring many people in the academy.
In the end, it was the old dean who took action and forced him to retreat.
But facing the middle-aged scholar just now, the dean admitted that he was not his enemy. How could everyone not be surprised?
What surprised them even more was that Liao Ping and Zhang Zhongxing came from the same school.
Where exactly are these two studying?
There are so many masters like this.
"Teacher, he is also in the realm of peace, or should I say..."
The teacher paused for a moment, feeling his throat was a little dry.
But the old dean continued what he said: "If I am not mistaken, this Mr. Liao may be... a grandmaster."
As a representative of Confucianism in the Western Zhou Dynasty, Xianyuan Academy had a wide range of knowledge and knowledge.
Confucian masters above the ninth level, they have heard about it.
But I always thought it was just a legend.
But just now, a living master was right in front of them, coming and going?
Everyone was in a daze for a while.
The dean of Xianyuan Academy looked at the direction Liao Ping left and remained silent for a long time.
Liao Ping, who was dressed as a middle-aged scholar, ignored him after leaving Xianyuan Academy. After asking about the direction to Lianyuan County of the Western Zhou Dynasty, he immediately started on the road.
On the way, he passed by the capital of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Liao Ping didn't care at all and went on his own way.
The Wang family was one of the most famous families in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and was founded on Confucianism.
His ancestral home was located in Lianyuan County in the eastern part of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
The area around Lianyuan County is covered by the influence of the Wang family, making it almost a country within a country.
However, the relationship between the Wang family and the Ji family of the Western Zhou royal family was relatively harmonious.
Although they were dominant around Lianyuan County, they often advanced and retreated together with the royal family on many major events inside and outside the Western Zhou Dynasty.
There are even people in the family who are married to the royal family Ji.
The legitimate daughter of the head of the Wang family is now the head wife of the Crown Prince of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
Therefore, the Wang family has always been arrogant within the Western Zhou Dynasty.
However, more than half a year ago, the Wang family suffered a big loss.
A man in blue came to the house from nowhere and threatened to discuss knowledge and articles with the head of the Wang family.
The Wang family did not realize that the other party was powerful at first, and were angered by the other party's arrogance, so they wanted to kick the madman in blue out.
As a result, the other party almost tore down the door and wall.
In the end, the head of the Wang family was forced to come forward in person.
However, the head of the Wang family was no match for the crazy man in blue, and was put at a disadvantage by the other party.
Just when everyone in the Wang family was angry and looking for a solution, the scholar in blue laughed and left.
On the plaque on the door of the Wang Family Ancestral Hall, the other party inscribed the four words "Buying fame and fishing for reputation".
The head of the Wang family worked hard for more than a month to wash away the four words left by the other party.
This is truly a shame and humiliation that the Wang family has not encountered in many years.
Everyone is still holding back their anger until now.
They are used to being arrogant and rarely suffer such setbacks.
The elders in the family are still somewhat calm, but most of the younger generation seem to have become firecrackers because of this, exploding at every turn.
Around Lianyuan County, both the local cultivators dominated by the Wang family and the local people have been trembling with fear for the past six months, fearing to offend the Wang family.
Even so, there are still many people who are unlucky enough to become the punching bags of the Wang family's children for no reason.
Everyone in the Wang family blocked the news, and people outside didn't know why they were so angry.
Everyone only knows that the Wang family is constantly searching for the whereabouts of a scholar in blue.
As the news spread, it turned out that there was an unscrupulous scholar from a poor family, who started to make trouble and finally abandoned the noble daughter of the Wang family, which was a disgrace to the Wang family and was hunted down everywhere.
Everyone had no choice but to consider themselves unlucky and try to avoid going to the Wang family as much as possible.
But today, someone took the initiative to come to the door and pick up any pot that was not available.
Looking at the portrait of Zhang Zhongxing in Liao Ping's hand, the Wang family disciples who received him were so angry that one Buddha ascended to heaven and two Buddhas left their bodies.
This son of the Wang family turned against him on the spot and took action.
When Liao Ping saw this, he shook his head in disappointment: "Scholars' first priority is to nourish their Qi. What do you look like?"
The opponent's frontier fortress poem turned into billowing smoke, and swords, spears, swords and halberds came out to kill Liao Ping.
Liao Ping stood still, without making any move or saying a word.
When the beacon smoke, swords and guns came in front of him, they all disappeared automatically.
"It's better to come out and meet your master." Liao Ping said calmly.
Before he finished speaking, a huge pen as big as a rafter suddenly appeared in front of him.
With a few strokes of this giant pen like a rafter, a mountain peak suddenly appeared and pressed down on Liao Ping head-on.
The mountain peak was so huge that it almost enveloped the entire Wang family mansion, as if it wanted everyone to perish together.
The light in front of Liao Ping's eyes suddenly dimmed, and all the sunlight above his head was blocked by the mountain peaks.
However, the next moment, the sun reappeared above Liao Ping's head.
The mountain peak was actually behind him.
It seemed that when it fell, it just avoided him.
As for everyone in the Wang family, their expressions all changed.
Because the world in front of me has completely changed.
The ancestral home of the Wang family disappeared.
Apart from the sky above and the earth below, it seemed like the only thing left in the world was the mountain.
Liao Ping stood at the foot of the mountain with them.
"...Family, country and world!" The head of the Wang family suddenly calmed down.
The other party can use his own talents and talents to build a space that is independent of this world and belongs to his own control. This is the magical power that can only be found in the ninth realm of Confucianism, the realm of peace.
"I have no intention of fighting with you."
Liao Ping's voice was still calm: "I just want to find someone. As for what grudges he has with you, if I find him, can you also settle your grudges with him? I will never interfere at that time."
The head of the Wang family was silent for a moment and then said: "I have been looking for him, but there is no specific whereabouts of him. The only thing that can be determined is that he is no longer on the ground of the Western Zhou Dynasty."
The old man exhaled a long breath: "The latest news is that he left the Western Zhou Dynasty and continued eastward to the territory of the Eastern Tang Dynasty."
"Eastern Tang Dynasty..." Liao Ping said to himself.
The head of the Wang family added: "It turned out that it was the territory ruled by the Eastern Tang Dynasty, but now, at the junction of the northwest of the Eastern Tang Dynasty and the eastern part of the Western Zhou Dynasty, a city of Chang'an emerged. They replaced the Eastern Tang Dynasty, and all the disciples of the Eastern Tang Dynasty entered it.
master."
Liao Ping nodded: "I took note of it, thank you."
After that, he disappeared.
Everyone in the Wang family was slightly in a trance and returned to their original world.
The house is still the original house, and there are no mountains falling from the sky.
As soon as everyone in the Wang family recovered from their shock, the head of the family said in a deep voice: "Today's lesson must be remembered. Do you understand?"
A group of people all looked ashamed, especially the young people. The arrogant and domineering arrogance in the past has been much restrained.
Liao Ping didn't care whether he suppressed everyone in the Wang family.
After he left the ancestral land of the Wang family, he looked towards the east.
"Eastern Tang...Chang'an, will it be there?"
Liao Ping was about to take a step forward when his mind suddenly moved.
He turned his head and looked to the other side.
There, purple clouds floated.
In the purple clouds, a young Taoist priest in white appeared.
"It turns out to be Taoist Master Gu Mu." Liao Ping nodded.
The other party is a rising star who has emerged in Taiqing Palace in recent years. He has already become a Taoist soul at a young age and his future is limitless.
Since the demise of Chunyang Palace, only Taiqing Palace and Zhengyi sect remained among the three major Taoist immortal houses in Dongtian.
In recent years, the Taiqing Palace has become more and more prominent, gradually surpassing the Zhengyi Sect and becoming the dominant one.
Jiufeng Academy, where Liao Ping was born, has also risen rapidly in recent years and has gradually become as famous as Yansheng Mansion.
Jiufeng Academy has been paying attention to various other famous families recently, and Taiqing Palace is the top priority.
"Mr. Longshan, I have long admired your name." The Taoist priest in white returned the courtesy: "May I ask, sir, but do you want to go east?"
