Looking at the old man Qing Yao in front of him, Lu Hanjiang shook his robe and said calmly: "Your reaction during the day would make anyone suspicious."
Qing Yao looked at Lu Hanjiang indifferently and said, "That's right. I was indeed careless. I didn't expect that you were coming for me from the beginning, so I accidentally exposed a little bit, but that's all.
.”
He stared at Lu Hanjiang closely and said, "Even so, how dare you think it's me?"
Lu Hanjiang chuckled: "Qingyao - there is a fairy grass in the mountain of Qingyao, which is beautiful, and its name is Xuncao. I love these legends of mountain ghosts, so I have some impressions of the stories told in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
.”
Qing Yao was slightly startled when he heard the words, and then sighed: "It's a strange theology. Scholars all think it is heresy. The more students who are obsessed with official career, the less likely they will read this book. I have been hiding in the academy under this name for more than ten years."
You're safe and sound, I didn't expect you to see through it at a glance, I admire you."
Lu Hanjiang looked at the other party's performance and felt it was funny in his heart. In fact, he was not absolutely sure about the test during the day. He was just deceiving the other party. Who would have thought that this person was really fooled.
The name Qingyao reminded him of the Qingyao Mountain mentioned in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and the name Xuncao came to mind. The word Xun then made him guess that this person was most likely related to the deceased Xun Yinge.
Then he sent people to dig the grave. The original intention was just to dig out something useful from the dead man's mouth. Who would have thought that things would take such a turn before the dead man was dead.
Lu Hanjiang stared at Qing Yao and asked in a deep voice: "So, you are really Xun Yinge? You are not dead?"
Qing Yao trembled, and then showed a bitter smile: "Xun Yinge is dead, there is only Qing Yao here."
What the other party said was already a disguised admission.
Lu Hanjiang said disdainfully: "Don't bother with this. If you really give up, why bother sweeping the floors in the academy? You named yourself Qingyao, didn't you just hope that one day someone would be able to see through the meaning behind the name?"
Xun Yinge's last fig leaf was torn off, and he finally couldn't help but knelt down with a plop. He covered his face and cried: "Now that things have happened, who in the world will believe that I am Xun Yinge? I have become
With this appearance, even the teacher couldn’t recognize me after ten years in the academy.”
Xun Yinge lost his composure for a while, and then stopped crying. He stood up tremblingly, looked at Lu Hanjiang with some confusion, and asked: "Do you really believe me? Do you really believe in a man who should be in his good years?"
Will young people become as old and dead as me?"
"The world is so big, there are all kinds of wonders." Lu Hanjiang just answered.
Lu Hanjiang would not doubt it. A few years ago, he might have hesitated. But now, with the two examples of Lu Peng and Fang Huayu, he has long been immune to this kind of weirdness.
Xun Yinge sighed slightly and said, "You have a big heart. You don't feel scared when you see all these weird things."
"If you were afraid, you wouldn't have made a special trip to Jiangnan to find out the truth about what happened all those years ago."
Lu Hanjiang looked around and asked, "Why don't we sit down and talk somewhere else?"
Xun Yinge nodded, and the two of them arrived in his room and sat across from each other in front of the eucalyptus. Lu Hanjiang got straight to the point and asked the most important question: "How did you become like this?"
A look of struggle flashed in Xun Yinge's eyes. He was silent for a long time, then raised his head and asked: "You saw through my identity but didn't kill me. I know you are not the same as them, but this matter is important and very important."
My life is at stake, how can I trust you?"
After all, he was an academy disciple, and he could still grit his teeth at such a critical point. Lu Hanjiang did not hesitate and took out the most valuable treasure of the trip, Luo Fuzi's handwritten copy of "The Analects of Confucius."
He put the book on the table, stretched out his hand and pushed it in front of Xun Yinge. When the other party picked it up and looked at it, his expression suddenly changed. He trembled and said, "This, this is the teacher's handwriting. Could it be?"
When Xun Yinge looked at Lu Hanjiang again, his eyes were not only shocked but also full of joy. Lu Hanjiang coughed and said seriously: "You guessed it right. I am also a disciple of the teacher. I started after you. As a courtesy, it is the right title."
Call me senior brother."
Xun Yinge's tears overflowed from his eyes unconsciously. He held the book and said to himself excitedly: "It's great, it's great. You are the teacher's disciple. Haha, you are actually the teacher's disciple."
!”
After being overjoyed, Xun Yinge couldn't help but ask: "Since you are the teacher's disciple, the teacher actually allows you to read these idle books?"
In fact, the Classic of Mountains and Seas is not considered an idle book, but it is regarded by the world as the "ancestor of ancient strange language" and is useless for governing the world, so the disciples of Luo Fuzi have never read it.
"Ahem, senior brother, let's talk about something serious."
Lu Hanjiang did not discuss this topic. He looked at Xun Yinge seriously and asked: "Brother, what exactly happened back then?"
Xun Yinge's face turned bitter, and with a long sigh, he began to tell his story.
He used to be a hero in the academy, and his painting skills were passed down from Luo Fuzi. His paintings and calligraphy can be almost as fake as those of his teacher Luo Yuanjing, and put on the market. If it weren't for everyone here, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
This is the work of Master Baimei.
However, Xun Yinge did not receive praise from his teacher because he did not derive his own understanding from Luo Yuanjing's paintings. His works were simply imitations.
This is related to Xun Yinge's painting habit. Unlike most people in the world who rely on speculation and imagination to write, he is a realistic painter and is good at painting what he sees accurately.
And his tragedy also originated from this. That day, he was lazing in the rockery in the garden of the academy and accidentally saw a strange man and woman meeting in the garden.
Seeing that the man was rich and handsome, and the woman was even more charming, Xun Yinge was stunned. After returning home, he quietly drew the man and woman he saw today.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Although this move is a bit offensive, Xun Yinge really can't restrain the urge to write in his heart. Not to mention the man, the woman is really the only one he has ever seen in his life.
The most beautiful woman in his life, if he doesn't record this moment, I'm afraid he will regret it for the rest of his life.
After the work was completed, Xun Yinge immediately went to find his best senior brother, Qiao Shifang.
At that time, Qiao Shifang had abandoned literature and embraced martial arts, became a member of the Jin Yiwei, and was expelled from the academy by his teacher, but this was only on the surface.
Privately, the relationship between the brothers and Qiao Shifang is very good. There is nothing wrong with Qiao Shifang's moral character. It can only be said that everyone has his own ambitions when he joins Jinyiwei.
Xun Yinge had selfish motives. He couldn't help but want to see this woman again, so he found Qiao Shifang, who had become a Jin Yiwei, hoping to quickly find this goddess through her identity.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Shifang's expression changed drastically after seeing the painting. After he left the painting, Qian warned Xun Yinge not to mention it to anyone after he returned.
But Xun Yinge still didn't expect that after he returned to the academy that day, he immediately fell ill. He was poisoned, and he was poisoned by an unprecedented and very powerful poison.
The academy invited countless famous doctors, but in the end nothing could be done. It happened that the head of the Gongsun family was passing by. He took action to stabilize Xun Yinge's poison and warned him that the poison was very powerful and there was no cure for the time being. He could only rely on taking large doses of drugs.
The supplements barely keep it alive.
When Xun Yinge said this, his tone became choked and his words were unclear. Lu Hanjiang frowned and took over the words and asked: "So, it was actually Gongsun Huan who caused you to become like this?"
"No!" Xun Yinge wiped his face and said with a ferocious look: "The person who hurt me like this is Jin Yiwei, that person! He is the person who poisoned me! He is also the person who wants to kill me!"
Xun Yinge gritted his teeth and said: "I know that this person has an extraordinary status in the hearts of all the brothers in the academy. If I told you, you would not believe it was him, but I--!"
Lu Hanjiang sighed slightly and said comfortingly: "Brother, don't worry, I actually know that this person is really good at hiding himself. If you are plotted by him, you can only say that it is impossible to guard against it."
Xun Yinge clapped his hands and cursed angrily: "I was too naive at that time. I really believed that if my master came from the same school, he would be as close to us as brothers, damn Qi Yunzhou!"
"Wait a minute, who are you talking about?" Hearing this unexpected name, Lu Hanjiang showed a very confused expression.
