"Alas! Do you think that Lu Ran has a crush on our dean?"
"No way? The dean is pretty good-looking, but he is notorious. No girl can fall in love with him, right?"
Everyone in the other courtyard who had "survived the disaster" gathered together again, chatting and discussing everything that happened today.
"Eh? Sister Jiang Yu, sister Yan Zhen, why are your faces so red?" Hou Yu looked sideways at the two people whose cheeks suddenly turned red, blinked and asked curiously.
"It's a bit hot...the weather is a bit hot." Jiang Yu ignored the flying snow outside the window and said lies to himself.
In contrast, Liu Yanzhen's methods are much more sophisticated: "I think he has taken a liking to our little one. Look, our little one is honest and cute, can cook, and can..."
She spoke enthusiastically, secretly pleased with her method of changing the topic, but at this moment, she found that the atmosphere in the room that was still lively just now suddenly fell silent.
Liu Yan was really stunned, and then he realized that it was obviously inappropriate to talk about this at this time.
"Xiao Xiao, haven't you come out yet?" She looked at the side room of the main house, shrank her neck and asked softly.
Ning Xiu on the side shook her head and said: "I have locked myself in the room since I came back..."
"Let me go and have a look." Li Danqing stood up at that time and said.
…
Li Danqing knocked on the door several times, but no one in the room answered. A group of girls behind him were chattering about their guesses.
Fell asleep? Ran away from home? Or committed suicide by hanging?
Li Danqing felt dizzy after hearing this, and glared at them fiercely: "Don't make any noise, I'll go in and take a look."
Everyone immediately nodded obediently and watched Li Danqing walk into the room.
Wang Xiaoxiao sat on the edge of the bed with his head lowered, seemingly unaware of Li Danqing's arrival.
"If you want, go and meet him. Sitting here in a daze is not like a man." Li Danqing walked directly to Wang Xiaoxiao and sat down and said this.
Wang Xiaoxiao was startled and raised his head to look at Li Danqing, his expression slightly startled.
"Dean...I..."
"What are you! What's the big deal? I just like a girl and want to do my best to her. In the end, they took away your heart and soul, and then told you that you are a good person." Li Danqing rolled his eyes at him.
Say this.
Wang Xiaoxiao blinked: "Dean, you seem to know everything. Do you have such an experience?"
"Who hasn't? Every man has fallen in love with a girl who was not that good but at the time thought she was the best." Li Danqing said in an old-fashioned way.
"Does Senior Brother Xue also have one?" Wang Xiaoxiao asked again,
"Of course...well, there should be." Li Danqing was a little unsure. After all, that guy was really good-looking. If he really fell in love with him, maybe nothing would happen to Ning Xiu.
Wang Xiaoxiao nodded, the curiosity on his face faded, and guilt surged into his heart again: "But I almost caused the dean to leave Yangshan, and I almost caused the Dafeng Academy to disappear..."
"This matter has nothing to do with you. No one has ever told you that you are going to fight. These are not my words to comfort you. I think so in the bottom of my heart." Li Danqing said this.
Wang Xiaoxiao was a little moved, but still lowered his head.
"But you are not without fault. Do you know where you went wrong?" Li Danqing said again.
Wang Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Shouldn't I give the True Fire of the Fierce Sun to Miss Bai?"
Li Danqing shook his head and asked, "Why did you give her the True Fire of the Lie Yang?"
"Because...she told me that her mother wants her to marry Mr. Qin. Unless she can make rapid changes in her spiritual practice, there will be no discussion on the matter."
"I don't want her to marry Qin Huaiyi, so I..."
"Of course there is nothing wrong with liking someone and wanting to give everything to that person." Li Danqing interrupted Wang Xiaoxiao at that time.
"But do you know what I would do if I were you?"
Wang Xiaoxiao shook his head in confusion, and Li Danqing continued: "I will go to Bai Sushui and tell her that I can give her what Qin Huaiyi can give her. If she doesn't believe it, just show it to her. If she doesn't agree, then I will
I will rob, seize, and use every method at my disposal to stop this."
As he spoke, Li Danqing opened his palm, and a true sun fire appeared in his palm again, and golden light enveloped the entire house.
"The true fire of the blazing sun is a divine thing."
"This world is cruel. Only those with power have the right to decide their own destiny. The True Fire of the Sun is something that can give you power..."
"When you give it to Bai Zhiluo, you are giving her these choices."
"You can fight for her, but you have to leave the right to choose to fight to yourself, do you understand?"
Wang Xiaoxiao nodded in understanding, but his expression was still a little confused.
Li Danqing was not in a hurry to let him digest all this. At that time, with a flick of his finger, the golden flame fell into Wang Xiaoxiao's hand.
"Get it for me this time! Don't give it to anyone else. There aren't many left."
Li Danqing said this.
Wang Xiaoxiao was stunned, his head was shaking like a rattle: "Dean...I..."
"Stop talking nonsense." Li Danqing glared
She glanced at him: "Refine it and then go see her."
"Huh?" Wang Xiaoxiao was stunned again.
Li Danqing seemed to have seen through his mind: "My father often said that if you can't forget someone, go and meet her. After meeting her, you will be relieved."
"This dean can remind you that we will return to Dafeng Court tomorrow."
"If I see you like this again, I will see you once and beat you once."
After saying this, Li Danqing walked out of the room, leaving Wang Xiaoxiao sitting there in a daze. After a while, he came back to his senses. His eyes were red, and his shoulders were slightly light on his strong body.
Trembling and sobbing like a child.
After leaving the room, Li Danqing told the anxiously waiting disciples about Wang Xiaoxiao's situation, warned them not to worry, and told them to have a good rest. Then he turned around and left the other courtyard, walking towards the entrance of Qiujing Academy alone.
somewhere.
…
"Haha, this tea is good! I asked someone to bring this back from Youyun. I heard that the annual tribute to Wuyang City is only half a cart. This small box is worth thousands of gold." Zhao Quan laughed.
Hehehe took out a palm-sized wooden box from his arms, opened it carefully, and then carefully took out a few pitifully small tea leaves from it and put them into the teapot.
After working for a while, he finally made the tea, poured a cup and handed it to the person in front of him, then continued with a smile: "Try it."
Li Danqing squinted at the smiling tiger in front of him, picked up the tea cup and took a sip without saying anything.
"How?" Zhao Quan asked quickly.
"Youshan Snow." Li Danqing said.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Quan patted his thigh and gave a thumbs up to Li Danqing.
"He's from the imperial capital after all! Such good stuff comes out as soon as you taste it. A few days ago, I made a pot for Qin Chenggu, but that old man didn't know the stuff, so he couldn't taste it, so he wasted this good stuff."
Li Danqing glanced at Zhao Quan, who was like a close friend, and said slowly: "It's a pity that it's a lie."
"Huh? What are you talking about! This thing is..." Zhao Quan suddenly looked confused.
"Youyun has seven holy mountains. Among them, Youshan is the mountain of the royal family. It is the same as our Wuyang Zhenlong and Haowu Mountains. The top of Youyun is covered with snow all year round and is extremely cold, even in the Divine River realm.
Even a strong person will feel out of breath at the top of this mountain, and if he stays there for a long time, he may even be left with hidden injuries."
"It just so happens that in such a place, there is an ancient tree growing. It blooms every ten years and bears fruit every ten years. It only produces one red fruit each time. It is called Zhu Yunchi."
"It is said that if you take this fruit, a strong person in the Divine River Realm can ascend to the realm of the Martial Lord in one day. However, this fruit is rare, and only the co-master of Youyun in Youyun is qualified to enjoy it."
"Every winter solstice, the leaves on the book will wither. The leaves are collected by Youyun and made into tea. Taking it has the effect of clearing the mind and clearing the body. Its medicinal effect is extraordinary. When Youyun was in civil strife, Wuyang sent troops to help.
To show his gratitude, King Youyun will give half of Youyun’s snow to the royal city every year.”
"But it is precisely because of this that private businessmen see profits, and there are many imitations on the market."
As he spoke, Li Danqing took another sip of tea and said: "The real Youyun Snow tastes green and sweet in the mouth, and has a sweet aftertaste. Close your eyes and savor it carefully. The sweetness will take five breaths before it fades away."
As Li Danqing spoke, he closed his eyes in a decent manner, frowned slightly, and said: "Although this product is a good imitation of the first two, if you close your eyes and taste it carefully, the aftertaste will be bitter and astringent.
It lasted for a long time, and it took a full eight breaths to fade away."
"In the beginning, such imitations were uncovered in the royal city. A businessman made this thing using the leaves of the sun cedar tree and mixed with special spices to make huge profits."
"Speaking of which, that guy was also fooled by lard. The berries of the yang cedar tree have the effect of nourishing the kidneys and strengthening the yang, but the leaves are just the opposite. At that time, many young men in the imperial capital used this product for a long time. In the end, they could not lift their guns at night and could not stand straight in the morning.
, then the incident came to light. I heard that those guys have consulted all kinds of famous doctors over the years, but today they are still unable to recover, and their glory is no longer there." Li Danqing said with a look of emotion on his face.
When Zhao Quan saw that Li Danqing was eloquent and serious about what he said, especially when he heard the words about being in ruins and losing his glory, he was immediately agitated. He hurriedly spat out the tea that was half in his mouth.
He smiled and said: "My nephew is wise!"
Li Danqing glanced at the box that Zhao Quan had put aside, but remained calm and continued, "Does Dean Zhao have nothing else to say to me besides drinking tea?"
Zhao Quan was stunned for a moment, then suppressed the smile on his face, and looked at Li Danqing with squinted eyes: "My nephew is here in the middle of the night, shouldn't he have something to say to me?"
The old man and the young man looked at each other at that time, with faint smiles on their lips, but they did not want to be the first to break the window paper. They looked very much like two foxes.
"Dean Zhao is suffering from a serious illness? Will he die soon?" After a few breaths, Li Danqing was the first to break the silence with shocking words.
Zhao Quan was furious, stood up and said, "Do you think I look like I'm about to die?"
Not to be outdone, Li Danqing also stood up: "That means you have a daughter who has fallen in love with me! You want me to be your son-in-law!?"
"But let's talk about the ugliness ahead. I don't want the ugly ones. My eldest son..."
"Bah! You are the only one who still wants to be my son-in-law! If any of my daughters likes you, I will break her legs first!" Zhao Quan reprimanded angrily.
"Then why did you change your temper? What exactly do you want to do to help me today! You can't be the one who covets me.
The prince's beauty, right?" Li Danqing asked, his voice a little louder than Zhao Quan's.
"Bah! I don't have those weird hobbies of your disciples! If that bastard Sun Yu hadn't forced me to take action, I wouldn't have bothered to care about your life or death!" Zhao Quan said angrily.
When Li Danqing heard this, a look of realization suddenly appeared on his face. At that time, all the anger on his face subsided, he sat back in his seat, and then looked at Zhao Quan with a smile: "It turns out that Dean Zhao is Sun Yu.
The inner ghost who stayed in Yangshan."
Zhao Quan was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he had fallen into Li Danqing's trap.
"Hmph! That bastard, he just turned away and became a shopkeeper. He hasn't been seen for several years. He only thinks of me when he is in trouble! If it weren't for the Master's instructions before his death, I wouldn't be too lazy to take care of you idiots!" Zhao Quan simply said
No longer trying to cover up, he slapped the wooden table and said angrily.
Li Danqing had a strange look on his face: "Dean Zhao is now the head of the four courtyards, and Sun Yu is the master of Yangshan Mountain. The two of them can fully grasp the power of Yangshan. Why are they hiding everywhere, but let Yang Tong
What if others collude with foreign invaders and become bigger and bigger day by day?"
"What exactly is threatening Yangshan?"
Zhao Quan showed a wry smile and said: "Yangshan has been passed down for four hundred years and relies on only three things: Haoyang Return to Rest Jue, the Great Powerful Sky-Shaking Sword and the Dragon-Elephant Hunyuan.
The former is the defense against the enemy, and the former is the foundation of Yangshan."
"The Art of Returning to Haoyang is extremely mysterious. It is generally a visualization method like "Dragon and Elephant Hunyuan", but it is much more profound. According to legend, when the ancestor of Yangshan established this sect, he took Yangshan to the sky and received the sect.
After being enveloped by the blazing sun and stars, the dharma was carved out by the blazing sun and stars on the top of Yangshan Mountain."
"Only by cultivating this method can you communicate with the stars of the blazing sun, take the holy mountain up to the starry sky, and let the mountain receive the brilliance of the stars of the blazing sun again."
"And the "Haoyang Return to Rest" can only be understood at the top of Yangshan Mountain. But since the thirteenth Master of Yangshan Mountain a hundred years ago, no one can reach there, even if they have cultivated to Wujun, they can forcibly
Even going to the top of the mountain is difficult."
"The thirteenth Mountain Master of Yangshan and our master, the fourteenth Mountain Master of Yangshan, both wanted to complete the mission of each generation of mountain masters to lead the holy mountain to ascend, and forced their way to the top of the mountain in order to comprehend "The Return of Haoyang"
"Xi Jue" and was injured by the blazing sun and stars on the top of the mountain, and finally died of illness."
"It has been more than seventy years now, and Yangshan has not been baptized by the stars. Yangshan is about to fall from the holy mountain to the mortal realm."
"How important is a holy mountain to a dynasty? If the holy mountain has not ascended for several generations, the imperial court will naturally intervene and send capable people to lead the holy mountain to ascend. At that time, the holy mountain will also have to change its gate..."
"So Senior Brother Sun has been trying to cultivate the "Haoyang Return to Breathing Technique" since the day he took over Yangshan. However, every time he goes to the top of the mountain, he is repelled by the stars on the top of the mountain, just like us disciples of Yangshan
, as if it has been abandoned by the blazing sun and stars."
"If this is really the case, I can only say that my life is not in my hands, and there is nothing I can do about it. But after trying several times, Senior Brother Sun discovered that there was something hidden behind it. It seemed that someone was manipulating the Lieyang Star, or using the Lieyang Star.
Hui killed the masters of Yangshan Mountain from generation to generation, and the purpose may be to change the dynasty of Yangshan, or there may be some bigger plan, but as a disciple of Yangshan, the revenge of the masters must be avenged..."
Li Danqing nodded after hearing this: "So you endure the humiliation and show weakness at every turn, just to lure out the mastermind?"
"Yes and no..." Zhao Quan shook his head, but he was unwilling to say anything more on this matter. Instead, he said: "Three months later, the Starry Gate will open again, and then the imperial court will also send
People come to watch the ceremony.”
"Of course it is said to be a viewing ceremony, but in reality it is surveillance."
"If you are serious, take your disciples as close to the top of the mountain as possible, at least don't let the people of the imperial court take advantage of this to make trouble..."
Li Danqing pondered and nodded again, but he did not make any further excuses on this matter.
Now Yangshan is the only place he can rely on. He and Yangshan have shared weal and woe, so naturally he doesn't want people from the court to extend their hands and feet here.
"Don't worry, this prince will do his best." Li Danqing said solemnly.
After receiving such a response, Zhao Quan showed a look of peace of mind and said: "Yangshan has both external and internal troubles. I'm afraid those guys are aware of what happened today. You and I should not have too much contact in the future if it is not necessary, so as not to avoid those
This guy is causing trouble again."
Li Danqing heard what Zhao Quan was referring to. He nodded again, stood up and cupped his hands towards Zhao Quan, and was about to leave. As he was leaving, he seemed to remember something and glanced at the book that Zhao Quan had put aside.
The wooden box said: "Dean Zhao, you should drink less of this in the future. The older you get, the more you need to pay attention to its maintenance."
Zhao Quan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then looked embarrassed: "As you get older, it is inevitable that your eyesight will become dim and you will be deceived by traitors. My dear nephew, go one step further and help me throw this thing away."
Zhao Quan said, throwing the wooden box into Li Danqing's hands.
Li Danqing held this object with a smile on his face, but he quickly stopped and said seriously: "The dean must be more careful in the future. Being deceived is a small matter, but hurting your body is a big deal."
After saying this, Li Danqing turned around and quickly walked out of the room without waiting for Zhao Quan's response.
He walked quickly and walked straight out of the other courtyard where Zhao Quan was. Then he felt relieved, took out the wooden box, opened it and took a closer look, a look of intoxication suddenly appeared on his face.
