The Book of Songs was one of the scriptures written by Confucius himself. It was the origin of poetry. Confucius called it "Thinking without evil". The entire book was flawless. Reciting it in this gloomy place was neither too upright nor too powerless. It was just right.
Yan Chixia seemed to not see anyone. His hands were behind his back as he looked up at the sky and continued to recite the Great Rat.
Yan Chixia stood in a relatively flat square. Both sides of the square were piled up with rocks and withered trees. To the north was a large door with a plaque hanging on it. The words "Nanruo Academy" could be faintly seen on it.
There were few trees here. When the evening light fell on it, it was less eerie and more peaceful.
When they got close, Fang Yun stretched out his arm to use the marching signal. He quietly stood outside the small square and did not disturb Yan Chixia.
After reciting the entire Great Rat, Yan Chixia turned around.
Yan Chixia had a square face with a straight nose and a wide mouth. His gaze was dignified. When he saw everyone, he nodded slightly and said, "Friends, are you going to Nanruo Forest?"
Fang Yun cupped his hands and said, "Scholar Fang Yun greets Scholar Yan. We do have important matters to attend to in Hang State City. "
"Oh? You know my name? "Yan Chixia's tone softened a lot. The dignified look in his eyes dissipated and became amiable.
Fang Yun smiled and said, "Brother Yan is righteous and generous. He doesn't like the current Left Minister playing with power. He also knows that Granny Tree Demon is causing trouble in Nanruo Forest. He swore to sweep away all the monsters in Nanruo Forest. This place is close to the border. If there is danger at the border, we can quickly rescue them. "
Yan Chixia's gaze warmed. He nodded and said, "Since we are all scholars, let's stay here for the night. That Granny Tree Demon's strength is average during the day. Once night comes, her strength increases greatly. She also has the ability to control ghosts. If we continue to move forward, we will definitely die. "
Fang Yundao said, "I also know about this, so I want to lead others to stay in Nanruo Academy."
"You can go in. As long as I am here, the ghosts cannot come close." Yan Chixia's words carried a faint arrogance.
A scholar from Ming Li Academy whispered, "Scholar Yan. I heard that there are ghosts here. Is that true? "
"Naturally, I don't know how many ghostly demons I've killed. However, there were too many demons and ghosts here. It would take at least three to five years to kill all of them. You've worked hard for a day, quickly rest. Tomorrow I'll send you out of the Southern Ruo Forest. "Yan Chixia said.
Everyone was overjoyed and thanked him together.
Fang Yundao: "Brother Yan is so righteous."
Yan Chixia smiled and said, "I see that there are students and soldiers among you. There must be something important. As a fellow human, I naturally have to lend a helping hand."
"Thank you, Brother Yan." Everyone thanked him again. They entered Nanruo Academy together.
The main hall of Nanruo Academy had Yan Chixia's clothes and bed, so everyone looked for other rooms to stay in.
This place had been in disrepair for a long time and no one had cleaned it up. Naturally, it was dirty and messy, but there was almost no dust in the Academy. The doors and windows were unusually clean, but there were many holes in them.
"That's strange. There's someone here who specializes in cleaning the courtyard? How could Yan Jinshi have the time? "
"It is indeed strange. It seems like someone cleaned this place two or three days ago."
Fang Yun walked towards the first room. At the same time, he said, "Yan Jinshi's sharp tongue has already reached the realm of splitting space. He often practices his sharp tongue here. Wherever he goes, dust will scatter in all directions. Naturally, this place is clean. When you enter the room, you'll see that it's still not clean. "
After Fang Yun finished speaking, he pushed the door open. Dust immediately fell from the lintel, and the room was filled with dust.
"As expected."
Everyone saw Fang Yun choose the first room. The others consciously left to go to other rooms.
Fang Yun stretched out his hand and used the power of the dragon pearl to condense a fist-sized ball of water and threw it forward. The ball of water spread out like a transparent cloth, sweeping across the dusty areas in the house, rolling up a large amount of dust. It continued to move forward. Not long after, it absorbed enough dust and gathered back into a ball, but it was now black.
Fang Yun waved his hand, and the dirty ball flew out of the courtyard with dust.
Fang Yun kept summoning the ball of water. In less than a quarter of an hour, all the dust in the room was sucked away. Then, he took out a wooden bed from the river shell and laid it on it. Finally, he walked out of the door and put away everyone's luggage.
From the forest far away, there were shouts one after another, and the silence of the forest was completely broken.
Everyone panicked and prepared for battle. Fang Yun dao said, "Don't panic. With Yan Jinshi here, those demons won't be able to kill their way in. Unless Granny Tree Demon personally comes. "
"What kind of person is this Yan Jinshi?"
Fang Yun naturally knew, so he said, "This Yan Jinshi's name is Yan Chixia. He is …"
Fang Yun told everyone about Yan Chixia's identity in the book. Everyone was in awe.
"So Yan Jinshi is a noble person who is good at killing demons. Naturally, we are relieved."
"Then we can have a good sleep tonight."
"Quickly clean up the room and then eat. After dinner, please arrange for someone to be on night duty." The scholar said.
Everyone dispersed again.
Fang Yun walked out of the academy and walked towards Yan Chixia. Yan Chixia had already stopped reciting the Book of Songs and was looking into the distance.
"Brother Yan, those demons came because of me. They want to kill me. If there is any danger, Brother Yan can escape first." Fang Yun dao.
Yan Chixia smiled faintly and said, "I am not a pedantic person. If you are being chased by the Demon King, I can't do anything. Naturally, I can only protect myself. But the demons in the Southern Ruo Forest can't make me abandon my human friends and run away! Even if that old witch comes personally, I can still escort you out of the Southern Ruo Forest safely. "
"Thank you, Brother Yan." Fang Yun dao.
"I am not a talkative person. Today, the entire Southern Ruo Forest is a little different. Is it because of you?"
Fang Yun sighed softly and said, "I'm afraid so. I accidentally fainted. A … snake demon from the Star Demon Tribe who I know, in order to save me, risked her life and went to the Demon Realm to steal the Lingzhi on the Moon Tree. She saved me. "
Yan Chixia was moved and said, "Although humans and demons can't coexist, the Star Demon Tribe is not one of them. This snake demon is so affectionate and righteous. She is no different from us humans. If there is a chance, please introduce her to me. When I heard you mention the Lingzhi, I understood that Granny Tree Demon wanted to eat you? "
"Yes." Fang Yun thought that in the eyes of the demons, he was simply the meat of Tang Seng. Suddenly, Fang Yun's heart moved. If there was a chance in the future, he could rewrite the Journey to the West.
"Then this matter is more serious than I thought. You have urgent matters to attend to in Hang Zhou City?"
Fang Yun dao said, "Yes. White Lady … That snake demon was afraid that I couldn't recover, so she went to the Demon Realm to steal half of the Moon Lotus to prolong my life. I don't know if it aroused someone's greed or if someone misunderstood her, so she forced the magistrate of Hang Zhou City, Cai He, to imprison her. White Lady's life is in danger, and she is my savior. I must go to Jinshan Academy tomorrow and persuade Cai He, the magistrate, to be merciful. "
Unexpectedly, Yan Chixia snorted and said, "I know Cai Fahai's name. He is greedy by nature and colludes with the Left Minister. No need to ask, he must be after the Moon Lotus! He knew that White Lady was trying to save you, but he still tried to steal the Moon Lotus. He is simply shameless. Get out of the Southern Ruo Forest, I will go with you! "
Fang Yun didn't expect Yan Chixia to be so straightforward. He immediately said, "I am trying to save someone, so I won't refuse. Thank you, Brother Yan."
"You are welcome. Scholars like us can not only speak for justice, but we should also fight for justice! Based on my understanding of Granny Tree Demon, since she knows that you have passed by here, she must have moved to the Half Moon Canyon today. That canyon is only a thousand feet wide. If she takes root there, even I can't pass through. Since you know me, you should know about the Half Moon Canyon. Why do you still want to go through here? "
Fang Yun smiled and said, "I want to go to Hang Zhou City. As for the obstacles on the way, I just need to go through them. Why do I need to know?"
Yan Chixia was stunned. He laughed and said, "What a good way to go through them! I like straightforward people like you! You are right. Since that Granny is taking root in the Half Moon Canyon, I just need to go through it! Although I have never won against Granny Tree Demon, I will go all out tomorrow and have a good fight with her! "
The two of them laughed and talked. The more they talked, the more they appreciated each other. In the end, both of them showed curiosity towards each other.
What Yan Chixia was curious about was that Fang Yun was so talented at such a young age. He was actually able to talk with him, a Jinshi, without falling behind.
What Fang Yun was curious about was that this Yan Chixia was much more powerful than what was written in the book. He was no different from a real person in every aspect. He had been to the fantasy realm and remembered the people inside. They were very different from this Yan Chixia. He felt that this Sixth Book Hill was not ordinary.
At the beginning, Fang Yun only thought of Yan Chixia as a person from a book. But now, he already thought of him as a scholar like himself. The two of them stood there and talked about poems, classics, and political theories.
Those scholars who had finished cleaning up the house came to the side one after another. But whether it was the experienced scholars or the well-read teachers of the academy, they could not get a word in. Moreover, the two of them seemed to want to save time. They talked faster and faster.
In the end, the two of them seemed to be talking at the same time with a smile on their faces.
The strangest thing was that the two of them had a strange rhythm to their voices. They rose and fell in an orderly manner, giving off a seamless feeling.
An ordinary veteran whispered, "Are they quarreling? Scholars are indeed different. They can quarrel with a smile. "
"Shh, this is' Synchronized Voices'. Only those who are talented, talented, and courageous can do it. Don't look at how they are talking. In fact, they can understand what the other is talking about while they are talking. After explaining their reasons, they can answer each other."
"Why aren't you eating?"
"Nonsense, it is difficult for Jinshi to synchronize their voices. Usually, only Hanlin Academy scholars can do it, and only good friends can do it. Now, a Jinshi and a Juren are synchronized. It is not nice to hear. They will regret it for the rest of their lives! Even if we can only understand bits and pieces, it is worth it! "
"Shh …" Many of the scholars were unhappy.
They did not even have time for dinner. They listened to the two of them talk and learned from their synchronized voices.
Until late at night, the demon voices outside became more and more frequent. The two of them stopped talking and realized that the eyes of the students were shining with a strong desire for knowledge. Their night vision was several times brighter than usual.
