"Sister-in-law, I will be back in two days." Li Changan said to Liu Zhiyin who was helping him pack his luggage.
From time to time, Liu Zhiyin asked Liu Linglong to bring over the clothes, fold them and put them in her bag.
"Sister-in-law, I really don't need so many things. I just want to go back and see the teacher. I will be back in three or four days at most."
"Would you like to bring some specialties from the county to Gu Jiaoyu?"
"The sweet-scented osmanthus cake in Dongyunfang is good..."
Liu Zhiyin was very meticulous, and the luggage he packed in the end was a big bag.
Li Changan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he had to carry it on his back, otherwise Liu Zhiyin wouldn't let him go out at all.
"Be patient when things happen when you go out. The most important thing is to come back safely..."
Liu Zhiyin helped Li Changan adjust his collar and couldn't help but hug Li Changan gently.
Liu Linglong also came over and hugged Li Changan.
From Linxian to the county town, this is the first time that Li Changan has been away for so long.
Thinking about not being able to see Li Changan for several days, Liu Zhiyin and Liu Linglong only felt empty in their hearts.
Li Changan hugged the two girls, feeling equally uncomfortable, "Wait until I come back."
Before leaving, Li Changan told Liu Zhiyin, "Sister-in-law, don't reveal the poem I wrote to you..."
"Don't worry, I won't tell you." Liu Zhiyin thought of this poem and couldn't help but reveal a warm smile on his face.
Li Changan suddenly lowered his head and kissed Liu Zhiyin on the face, and then followed suit and kissed Liu Linglong on the face.
"I'm leaving. Linglong needs to be obedient at home, you know?" Li Changan walked out of the house under the reluctant eyes of Liu Zhiyin and Liu Linglong.
Zhang Fugui was waiting at the entrance of Tonglu Hutong.
"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Zhang." Li Changan cupped his fists and saluted.
"Just in time, I'll go back to see Lao Gu." Zhang Fugui patted Li Chang'an on the back, "Song Anmin has arranged a carriage outside the city and will arrive in Linxian County at noon tomorrow."
Walk to the corner of the alley,
Dressed in Tsing Yi, it was Yan Qingshi who burst into view!
Li Changan was stunned for a moment, "Miss Yan."
When Yan Qingshi saw Li Changan at first sight, a hint of joy suddenly flashed in her eyes. She saw the luggage on Li Changan's shoulders and asked, "Master Li, are you going on a long trip?"
"Yes." Li Changan nodded.
"Master, please be safe along the way." Yan Qingshi looked at Li Changan, a trace of worry flashed in her bright eyes.
"Thank you, Miss Yan." Li Changan clasped his fists towards Yan Qingshi, and then hurried away with Zhang Fugui.
Yan Qingshi pursed her lips and waited until Li Changan was completely out of sight before taking steps again.
"I think Miss Yan is very interesting to you." Zhang Fugui said to Li Changan with a slight smile.
Li Changan shook his head, "Uncle Zhang, I don't know what you mean by this."
"Are you pretending to be confused again?" Zhang Fugui patted Li Changan on the shoulder, "Miss Yan is a nice person..."
"Uncle Zhang, please spare me." Li Changan quickly begged for mercy, "I don't have the intention now. If things in Lin County are not handled well, I will have to worry about it for a whole year."
"That's right. There's still time on the carriage. Let's read more." Zhang Fugui nodded. Only the three of them knew about Xiantian Wenlu.
The sooner you fix this loophole, the sooner you can feel at ease.
When we arrived at Linxian County, it was already noon the next day.
Li Changan didn't stop for a moment and came to the residence arranged by Gu Weidao.
"Master!" Finally seeing his master alone, Li Changan knelt down and bowed down.
"Get up." Gu Weidao was still the same, with his gray hair carefully combed, his back a little stooped, but his eyes were exceptionally bright.
Helping Li Chang'an up, Gu Weidao's eyes were full of joy, "I didn't expect that after not seeing you for a few months, you would become the world-famous Taibai!"
"Disciple doesn't dare." Li Changan bowed and said.
Li Changan learned a lot from Zhang Fugui about what his master did for him.
In order to seal his own innate cultural system and stabilize the Wen Palace, most of the cultural system was smashed and En Tong rebuilt it.
"This is the reputation you earned yourself, why don't you dare?" Gu Weidao smiled and asked Li Changan to sit down.
"It is said that if wealth does not return to its hometown, it will be like walking in brocade at night."
"When you return to Linxian this time, not only are you not allowed to publicize it, but you are also not allowed to see any acquaintances. This can be regarded as a true night walk in Jinyi..."
Li Changan shook his head, "Master's painstaking efforts are deeply felt in my heart."
"Your Uncle Zhang also told me a lot about what you have done recently..."
"Please master, please give me instructions."
Gu Weidao looked at Li Changan, his expression gradually becoming serious, "Once you pass the county examination, there will be no loopholes in your identity."
"But we will still face great dangers, and we must know how to hide ourselves and our clumsiness."
Li Changan nodded and said, "Disciple understands that anything as beautiful as Lin Feng will destroy it. Taibai's reputation has pushed this disciple to the forefront of the storm."
Gu Weidao patted Li Changan on the shoulder, "I am very pleased that you think so."
"The edge cannot last long, and it is easy to break if it is too strong... The relationship between the four major academies and the Imperial College is not as peaceful as imagined."
"I have been paying attention to your affairs. I reached the top in January and also in March. Now you have become a thorn in the side of the other three academies and the Imperial College."
"Even within White Deer Academy, there are forces that are competing against each other... Wenzong will take action against you next, so be careful."
Li Changan said in surprise, "Master, I heard that Wenzong mostly studies the classics of all saints, so he won't take action easily."
"Studying the classics of the saints is one thing, but they don't take action easily. Is there a reason why they are afraid of each other?" Gu Weidao looked at Li Changan,
"If you climb to the top three times in one year, you can access the treasure house of all saints. There are all treasures left by the ancestors and saints. Even if you have entered the third level of extraordinary existence, you will be jealous."
"Whenever Wenzong reaches the summit once, he will be targeted by other Wenzongs, and they must be prevented from continuing to climb to the top."
"And your first summit was an accident, and March was even more of an accident, because no one really cared about you... But it's different now."
Li Changan woke up when he heard about the Treasure House of All Saints.
I can open the treasure house of all saints just once, but those people will not allow it.
"This is still a small matter. What I'm most worried about is your safety." Gu Weidao said worriedly,
"The other three major academies and the Imperial College are very likely to come looking for you, and then life or death will not be up to you at all... Do you understand?"
Li Changan took a deep breath and nodded heavily, "Disciple understands."
"Dongyue's lineage is quite clear and should be able to protect you for the time being." Gu Weidao said, "You should also pay attention to improving yourself as soon as possible and having more means to protect yourself."
"I believe you are better than my teacher at this point. I also know about the Longhu Gang and you have done a good job."
Li Changan raised his head carefully and glanced at Gu Weidao, "Master doesn't blame the disciple?"
Gu Weidao showed a hint of bitterness on his face,
"If it had been back then, I would not have spared you, but after going through so much, I know very well that you cannot achieve anything by relying on principles and yourself alone."
"You understood earlier than my teacher, and you also see more clearly. I am very happy for you."
Li Changan was stunned for a moment, "Master, Vice President Xu also said that he was once your student. Back then you..."
Gu Weidao waved his hand, "This is a serious matter. If you know it now, it will only harm you. I will tell you when I will become truly powerful."
"Nothing else, I just hope you can learn from it and never follow the old path of being a teacher again."
Gu Weidao stood up with a long sigh,
"When I first heard about chess from your mouth, and then I saw you reciting those shocking lines of poetry with my own eyes, and awakened the innate knowledge of literature, I knew as a teacher that you would also take that path in the future."
Li Changjing listened quietly to Gu Weidao's words. In the past few months, the two of them could only communicate through letters, and they did not dare to mention important matters in the letters.
Opportunities to have a conversation like today are rare.
"When the Longhu Gang's matter is resolved, let your Uncle Zhang continue to do business."
Hearing this, Li Changan quickly raised his head and said, "Master...?"
Gu Weidao raised his hand to stop Li Changan,
"Gather the veterans. Lao Zhang only provided financial support before, and he was even more helpless as a teacher, but you have already embarked on a different path."
"This road is extremely dangerous, but you have to be cautious every step of the way. Those veterans will only recognize Lao Zhang at first, and then they will recognize you. This is not good for you."
"Since you have to go on, there are many things that he cannot know and cannot let me know. Leave yourself a way out at all times."
Gu Weidao said sincerely, "Lao Zhang told me everything about you. I am very pleased that you have not been blinded by the blood and can still keep the common people in your heart."
"Uncle Zhang is getting older, how many more years can you continue to fight? Let him do business in the county, but it will allow him to help more veterans."
How could Li Changan not know the meaning behind his master's words?
I can only nod heavily, "Disciple understands."
Gu Weidao opened the wine gourd on the table, smiled and comforted, "Don't think too much, stick to your heart, I believe in you as a teacher."
"I watched "Shangxie·Giving a Friend", and the thoughts in it moved my teacher even after reading it. How are you and Mrs. Liu doing?"
The topic suddenly changed, and Li Changan almost turned around and rubbed his head in embarrassment, "It's... not bad."
"If you are getting married, I will have a good drink of this wedding wine." Gu Weidao said cheerfully,
"How are you preparing for the county exam tomorrow?"
Li Chang'an stood up and poured wine for Gu Weidao, "The county examination mainly tests poetry interpretation, scripture writing, and scripture meaning. The disciples are quite well prepared."
Gu Weidao drank a glass of wine,
"No one knows the content of the county examination. You can only know it when you enter the examination hall. As a teacher, I have nothing to remind you, but I will explain the main steps to you in detail."
"Master, please tell me." Li Changan poured another glass of wine for Gu Weidao and said with a smile.
Gu Weidao raised his finger and said, "First of all, it is to worship the holy throne. Just follow the others to worship."
"After worshiping the holy throne, the questions for this county examination will appear in the Holy Cauldron."
"After answering the test paper, put the test paper into the Questioning Saint Cauldron. You will know whether it passed by burning incense. While waiting for the result, enter the Yingsheng Pavilion. Each person will have a separate secret room."
"If you pass the county examination, you will be ready to receive the Holy Temple's literary enlightenment and forge a literary legacy."
"At this point, your name and surname will be included in the holy temple and included in the scribes' books, which means there will be written books."
"When the time comes, your innate talent will be covered up, and no one will be able to find fault with it."
Li Changan kept every item in mind, "Disciple, please remember this."
The two chatted for a while, and Li Changan suddenly slapped his head, "Sister-in-law asked me to bring the county's specialties back and give them to Master to taste."
Gu Weidao smiled half-heartedly, "She still has intentions, I guess you haven't even thought about it."
Li Changan quickly apologized and said with a smile, "How could it be? My disciple has carried it all the way, so his intentions are not bad, don't you think so?"
"Okay, stop being so talkative, take it out and try it quickly." Gu Weidao waved.
