Volume 1, Yanyun Chaos, Chapter 40: Going South (2)
Half a month later, there was only one convoy on the official road connecting Xiangzhou and Yanbei. To be specific, there was only one carriage, a flaming red red cloud pony and a few ordinary green-maned horses.
The team heading north from Murong Mansion was quite large, but the number of people was actually not that large. The main reason was that the gifts they had prepared took up a lot of space. Now the gifts have been given to the Yanbei Prince's Mansion, and they refused the Yanbei Prince's Mansion before leaving.
Returning a gift is naturally much easier.
The elder of Murong Mansion was the only one in the carriage. In the past half month, Feng Qi finally knew his real name.
Murong Chengzhang sounds quite knowledgeable, but in fact he doesn't like reading, loves martial arts very much, and is very irritable. Feng Qi only chatted with him twice before losing interest in continuing the conversation.
Feng Qi lay on the Chiyunju with squinted eyes. There was a red linen bag on his belly, which contained many snacks unique to Yanbei so that he could reach them with his hands. However, since entering Xiangzhou, Feng Qi had to pick up snacks.
The frequency is getting lower and lower.
He looked at the deserted official road and frowned.
Xiangzhou's ability to know the state is very strong. Under his governance, Xiangzhou has had good harvests every year in recent years, and it can be called the wealth of the people. This can also be seen from the width of the official road. As the first county in the north, Yanbei has
With Wuyang's support, the sixteen-horse official road was repaired, and Xiangzhou actually reached this level by relying on its own taxation and government business.
Yanbei is windy, cloudy and sandy. Although Xiangzhou and Yanbei are very close to each other, their terrains are completely different.
There are many mountains, valleys and abyss here.
Therefore, even though the official road here is very spacious, due to terrain factors, it is not too far to see. From Fengqi's current position, the visible distance is less than 500 steps, but it should not be possible to see no one.
Because the official road is meant for circulation, if it were not for such a large circulation, the magistrate of Xiangzhou, who is known for his love for the people, would never have spent so much manpower, material and financial resources to build the official road so widely.
It seems that Xiangzhou already knows about the fourth prince.
However, Xiangzhou did not arrange any manpower to escort the convoy, and did not even see a detective bell along the way.
If you don't listen and don't ask, you can stay out of it? Feng Qi thought silently.
If the next few states are like this, then this journey will be quite torturous, he thought in a flash.
Then he thought that the gate of Taixuan Mountain was in Xiangzhou.
After half a month of separation, he suddenly became curious about what Feng Yang was doing now.
According to his and Feng Yang's calculations, the three-point penetrating wood should be in Taixuan Mountain. After getting the three-point penetrating wood, you can think about the dead wood rejuvenating and the replacement of flowers and trees.
After all, the latter two are things on the surface, so they are much easier to think about.
Just as he was thinking about this, he suddenly heard a crisp ringing sound in his ears.
He sat up and looked towards the source of the sound.
It turned out to be a Taoist priest. The Taoist priest was sitting on a wooden cow-horse. There was a white banner on the left and right with two sentences written on it. There was also a horizontal banner hanging on the top of the wooden cow-horse.
One hexagram can control the world, and two fingers can calculate all the people's hearts.
Hengbiao - the fate of the world.
Feng Qi raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but look at the Taoist priest seriously.
This person was wearing a plain academic uniform that had been washed white. If he remembered correctly, this seemed to be the last version of the Imperial Academic Uniform before Ji Palace was closed. His hair crown was tied with a decayed wooden hairpin.
The forehead is smooth and clean, and two extremely long strands of hair hang down from the corners of the sun and the moon. At first glance, it looks like the typical dress of Ji Palace students.
Since he was a student of Ji Palace, Feng Qi couldn't help but feel more respect in his heart.
As the saying goes, Bai Wuyi is a scholar, but the courage and ambition shown by the Two Thousand Years Ji Palace when the demons went south three times were enough to put most of the army to shame.
There is still a Broken Book Cliff outside Tongguan, and there is still a Guanzi Monument on Wangguan Pass.
There are no books on the Broken Book Cliff, only bones. Those are the bones of scholars.
There are no words on the Guanzi stele, and all the inscriptions are on souls. Those are the souls of national warriors.
Therefore, although Feng Qi sneered at this man's arrogance, he still had to maintain due respect for the academic uniform he wore.
But he knows those bones and those souls, but that doesn't mean everyone knows.
Murong Chengzhang poked his head out at some point, sneered at the Taoist priest's sign, and scolded: "Where is this madman from? Even Xiaoyao Pavilion, which controls the world's secrets, dare not say that it can conquer the world and all the people's hearts.
!Where did you borrow the courage? How dare you post such an arrogant slogan?"
Feng Qi frowned and was about to say something, but found that the Taoist priest didn't care about these words at all.
His eyes were calm, as if he didn't hear anything at all, just watching the wind blow.
Feng Qi was a little curious, so he drove his horse forward and asked, "Can I ask for your name, sir?"
The Taoist priest said: "The remnant of the era is now in its twilight years, so where does it come from?"
Feng Qi said: "I think what you, sir, are wearing are the uniforms of the last generation of academicians in Ji Palace. Could you please tell me your academic title?"
The Taoist priest said: "Guanshi Qizheng, you can call me Mr. Qizheng."
Heaven, earth and people call it the Three Talents, and the sun, moon and five stars are called the Seven Governments, symbolizing the top wisdom of Ji Palace.
Ji Palace has only had two talented people for five years, one is Li Jinxing and the other is Dou Xiaotong.
However, although there are not many Qizheng in Ji Palace, there are always people who bear the name of the students in the past generations, and Feng Qi cannot recognize them all.
He bowed and said, "Since you are a talented person in Qizheng, why do you say this? I know that only by seeking knowledge can you know that the sea of learning has no boundaries."
Guanshi Qizheng said: "The third volume of the Study Sutra, chapter five and sixteen lines, is dictated by the Zen Master. Only by wearing a strong and sharp sword can you know that there is no top on the mountain of corpses. Only by studying and asking questions can you know that the ocean of learning is boundless... I have an incomparable understanding of Taoism."
I am familiar with it, Your Majesty, there is no need to test me on this."
Feng Qi was startled for a moment, thinking that he really had no intention of taking the test, and if you were really the last generation student of Ji Palace, and you were almost a hundred years old, how could I rely on what you studied in the classics if I wanted to take the test?
Then he noticed the last sentence of Guanshi Qizheng and asked: "Sir, do you recognize me?"
Guanshi Qizheng said: "I came here specially to wait for you, so I will naturally recognize you."
Feng Qi was silent for a while and said, "Is there something wrong, sir?"
Guanshi Qizheng said: "If there is nothing to do, there will be no me."
Fengqi became angry and said: "In that case, I will tell them."
He turned his horse's head and rushed to the carriage.
Murong Chengzhang said: "Jigong students have not appeared in the world for a long time."
Feng Qi said: "That's why I want to know the reason why he appears here even more."
Murong Chengzhang frowned, "It seems like he just wants to talk to you alone."
Feng Qi was surprised that Murong Chengzhang actually understood the last sentence of Guanshi Qizheng, and said angrily: "It turns out that the elder doesn't like reading."
"Okay, don't flatter me here, but I heard Qingyun say it more times and subconsciously remembered it, it's nothing." Murong Chengzhang waved his hand, "You go ahead, we are waiting for you in front.
