It is a kind of coldness that is invisible, touched without anything, but can be clearly felt, just like this emptiness is buried in the deepest darkness all year round, because the coldness has been in the dark for too long, and even if the person walks out of the darkness, the coldness will inevitably seep out wherever he goes.

Ye Yian took advantage of putting down the teacup and looked at the Xuke. He looked at his face in only about thirty people. He was short and thin, and his appearance was not good, and he always gave people a sick feeling.

In short, if this Taoist, whose name is Xuke, was not wearing a light Taoist robe, it would be like the down-and-out literati in the city who had been in trouble in Chang'an after failing the imperial examination for many years and was plagued by illness.

When Ye Yian looked at Xu Ke, Xu Ke was also looking at him. His eyes were also very turbid and dark, and he really couldn't see any spirit.

After surfing Ye Yian for a while, a shiny light suddenly appeared in Xu Ke's eyes, which was facing away from Dr. Li. The light came without any warning, just like a sharp sword suddenly rising up, and there was no time for anyone to react at all.

In the world of cultivation, using the heavenly eye technique to see the state of others' cultivation is the most taboo thing. Xu Ke has never known Ye Yian. As soon as he meets him, he suddenly uses the heavenly eye technique to see Ye Yian's foundation. The style of this person's behavior is exactly the same as the cold air he exudes on.

Ye Yian was already suspicious when he heard Dr. Li talk about his identity before Xu Ke entered the door. With this mental defense, he was a cautious person again. The use of the alchemy method of "The Secret Method of Pupal Butterfly" was activated early. Although Xu Ke was activated quickly, under Ye Yi's safety and guard against him, he could not find out anything that was truly useful.

Ye Yian sneered in his heart, although he had just met, he was sure that Xu Ke was a birdman with a complete dark way of acting.

No abnormality was found from Ye Yian, but Xu had no intention of giving up. The man had almost nothing to say and did not greet Ye Yian. He only found a bench in the study and sat down to listen to the two of them.

After saying a few more words to Ye Yian, Dr. Li urged Xuke to get some good tea as soon as possible.

Xu Ke really listened to Dr. Li's words. He heard that he had just sat down and immediately got up and left. From the time he came in and left at this moment, he didn't even open his mouth.

After he left, Dr. Li smiled and shook his head, and said helplessly: "He is such a cold temperament. He can't hear a word from him for ten days and half a month. A monk called himself a worldly person, destroying all human relations, and his temperament is prone to perverts. If he encounters a natural cold nature, he becomes more and more inhumane, don't care. He is actually a cold person. If he meets too many times, you will know."

Is the face cold and the heart hot? It’s not bad. This “hot” is just for you, Dr. Li!

While thinking in his heart, Ye Yian was almost sure that Xu Ke had a different intention to make friends with Dr. Li. Seeing that such a cold-hearted person would actually encourage Dr. Li to study philology, the meaning contained in this was too thought-provoking.

The more this happened, Ye Yian did not mention a single thing related to philology, but instead turned to the topic of literati's elegant interests such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. At the same time, he took the opportunity of gossip and pointed out without a trace that he was not familiar with Xu Xiang. It was just because he had a friendship with fellow villagers and was introduced by another fellow villager to have today's company. The purpose was to ask Xu Xiang to recommend a reliable Taoist temple to perform a ritual for his deceased relatives, and that's all.

Dr. Li did not suspect that he deliberately separated his relationship with Xu Xiang. After hearing this, he felt a little disgusted and said that if he had known that Ye Yian and Xu Xiang were just friends, he would not have done anything to do this trip.

Ye Yian naturally thanked him very much, and said that as a miserable man who was a literary fortune, he had the opportunity to serve as a doctor of the Five Classics of the Imperial College. Perhaps because of this, he was not sure that his subjects could be cheered up in one fell swoop.

After a few polite words, the two turned the topic to the liking of literati, and the place where they spoke also changed from the study to the stones under the shade of elm outside the hut. As they were talking, footsteps sounded, but Xu Ke walked over with a utensil of tea.

Ye Yian didn't look at him, and Gu Zi continued to laugh and said, "Doctor, you are proud early, so it is natural that you can't appreciate the torture of our hardships. It would be fine if you were just alone, but if you were alone, you would be expected of your family. Even if you want to let go, it would be easier?"

Dr. Li took the tea set while busy cooking tea, and smiled and signaled to him to continue talking, looking very excited.

Although Xu Ke was still speechless, his attention was always on Ye Yian. Obviously, he was still doubtful about such a person who suddenly appeared from Dr. Li.

This guy is so suspicious!

Seeing this, Ye Yian simply refused to see him and smiled and told an anecdote in the Xiangzhou imperial examination venue. He said that a scholar in the hometown, Du Gao, failed to win the exam and was about to return home again, his wife Liu sent a poem to mock him. The poem says:

A good man has geniuses for nothing, so why are he released every year?

Now I am ashamed of you, and you are coming almost night when you arrive.

Du Gao was ridiculed by his wife, just like Su Qin, who said that Qin was not successful, not only did he not lose heart, but instead studied harder. Finally, he finished high school in one go. The good news came, and the whole family was extremely happy. His wife sent another poem.

At this time, Dr. Li had finished his work and was waiting for the three boiling tea on the small red mud stove. Seeing Ye Yian stopping his words, he urged him to ask, "What poem did Mrs. Liu write?"

Seeing that Dr. Li was quite impatient, Ye Yian smiled and said the poem:

There are not many places to go to Chang'an, and it is lush and beautiful.

The beloved man is proud and young, where is the building tonight?

After hearing this, Dr. Li stroked his hand and laughed out loud, "Although this Liu family is despicable, they still have some talent."

After laughing, Dr. Li sighed, "When he was in the first place, he won the tenth magistrate, and the golden soup was spread out of Chang'an. The horse's head gradually entered Guo, Xiangzhou, and people were looking at him at the extreme! Once the gold list was named, the world immediately looked at him with admiration. It is no wonder that scholars were obsessed with the imperial examinations."

Ye Yian turned around slightly, sighed to Xuke sideways, and nodded, "The doctor said that he had revealed the hearts of people, and he could say that he had said all the sadness of being a poor student like me. If you want to be a good person, you will be unlucky in your literary fortune, and if you want to give up, you will feel unwilling to give up. Oh, how difficult it is!"

"You are only in the age of twentieth, but you have lost your subject, why is that so?" Dr. Li smiled and scolded Ye Yian and then asked, "How are you studying? Maybe you can be quiet and entertain yourself?"

"It's okay to read, but it's quite quirkful."

"Oh, let's hear it"

Seeing that Xu, he didn't say a word, but was extremely careful about his words, Ye Yian sneered more and more. A heretic is really interested in the imperial examination and study? But this guy refused to leave, clearly trying to see the truth from his words.

"For example, when I read history, I am happy to be on a snowy night, and I am happy to be with the bright mysterious mirror; when I read the son, I am happy to be with the moon, and to send distant gods; when I read "Shan Hai Jing", I am happy to be with sparse flowers and thin bamboos, so as to collect the boundless travels and make an appointment with the misty theory; when I read the fu, I am happy to be yelling wildly in the water; when I read the poem, I must be the child to pat it; when I read the miscellaneous records of ghosts and gods, I am happy to be burning candles and breaking the secluded, and in short, I have many quirks."

After hearing this, Dr. Li sucked his hands and sighed again, "You are a really interesting person in books. Unfortunately, the excessive reading of books is farther away from the imperial examination."

Ye Yian nodded in response, but he didn't care. Since he followed his master Ye Tianwen to study, his purpose has only been to relieve the loneliness of living in the mountains. He never thought about winning the imperial examination? Different purposes, the choice of reading is naturally different.

Unexpectedly, Dr. Li took the tea cup that was barely boiling on the small red mud furnace, and said to himself: "I see that your words are good, and the characters are also called romantic. It would be a pity if your talents are abandoned. Forget it, it is also a matter of fate. I met you and me today. Lao Jiushan has free time. If you are willing, you can come here often. Let's see if you can give you a gold list title after several years."

As soon as Dr. Li said this, not only did Xu Ke's face change rapidly, but Ye Yian was also dumbfounded.

This is too...how could this happen?

However, the current situation could no longer tolerate Ye Yian's rejection. Dr. Li's words meant to accept disciples. Is there any brother in the world who would refuse when facing such an opportunity?

He spent so much verbal talk and reading just now. Although he had a rare pleasure in interviewing a pure literati, this factor was only insignificant. The main purpose was to dispel Xu Ke's doubts about his identity and thus hide himself in front of Xu Ke.

I have worked so hard before, but now I want to do something abnormal suddenly, wouldn’t all my previous efforts be wasted?

It’s just that I used too much force to cover up my identity just now, and now I can’t even say anything to refuse.

He was hard to say, but Ye Yian looked very happy when he heard this, and immediately wanted to pay homage to Dr. Li.

Dr. Li didn't stop him!

The man's original casual sitting posture was changed to Duansu and straight, but in this life he received Ye Yi'an's teacher tribute. After that, the old man also gave Ye Yi'an a jade ring tied to the collar on his waist to Ye Yi'an as a meeting ceremony, and added a lecture, and then he sat to death the position of master and apprentice.

After the ceremony, Ye Yian stood up and listened to Dr. Li's lecture, but he smiled bitterly. He was definitely not resisting the appointment of a disciple this time. On the contrary, he was also happy to be able to take such a great scholar recognized by the court as his teacher. But when did he ever want the imperial examination? But Dr. Li came here.

The subsequent drama...can't be sung!

It is bitter, it is bitter!

Let's adapt to everything!

Ye Yian, who was feeling bitter in his heart, glanced at Xu Ke, but saw that he had been silent and moved less before, as if there was no ordinary Xu Ke's face was even more bitter than him at this time. He clearly wanted to persuade him but didn't know where to start, and sat there looking itchy all over his body.

For some reason, after seeing Xu Ke's appearance, Ye Yian felt relieved inexplicably and felt much more refreshed.

From this, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind. If I could take this opportunity to follow Dr. Li to systematically learn the way of philology...

When the thought turned here, the little bit of bitterness in Ye Yi'an's heart disappeared.

This trip to Chang'an is really right!

With a certain status, Dr. Li is in a good mood and turns to face Xu Ke, "Brother Dao lives next to me, so you must see a little disciple more in the future. You should take care of him more."

Following Dr. Li's words, Ye Yian, who was agile, immediately stepped forward and gave Xu Ke a gift.

Xu Ke always looked sick. With his courtesy, his face was so ill that he looked terminally ill. It was so ugly that it was.
Chapter completed!
