Confucian Sword Fairy

Chapter 120 Three Factions
In the lobby, every Confucianist's complexion changed slightly, and there was a little surprise in their eyes.

This move made the young man who had just reported the letter even more curious.

After all, I have never seen that these gentlemen in front of me would show such a gaffe. Although I didn't pick up that Mr. Song and got the first footsteps, it's not like this, right?

"You go down first." At this time, Xu Yuan Daru looked at the young scholar and said.

"Yes."

The latter was taken aback, although he didn't know what happened.

But since even the Great Confucianism has spoken, naturally it shouldn't stay here anymore.

Soon, there were only five great Confucianists of the Southern School of Confucianism left in the hall, and besides the three of Ning Ping, there were two more.

"Song Xiaoyou was taken away by people from Zongsheng's lineage. Although there will be no problems, but do you think they will do something during this period? After all, the Longyuan Conference will be held soon."

After thinking for a while, Xu Yuan Daru spoke with a little worry in his eyes.

Although in this Longyuan Conference, Zongsheng's lineage has a high probability of winning the first place, and there are several outstanding young people under him.

But Song Zhishu is different after all, he is a person who shows the way of university, maybe the other party will definitely do more to be on the safe side.

Indeed, although various schools put forward new theories at the Longyuan Conference, they were all aboveboard.

But it didn't say that you can't do something in private.

"probably not."

Confucian Ning Ping shook his head: "This time, Mr. Cen is the one who picked up Song Xiaoyou. He is a man of high morals, and he is also the elder of all of us. Besides, the Longyuan Conference is just around the corner, so he will not disregard righteousness."

Cen Xingyuan's seniority is very high, more than [-]% of the Confucianism, and he is also the leader of the Zongsheng lineage. It can be said that his every move is watched by others. In this case, he just wanted to win the Longyuan Conference. It's a little bit too much for me to worry about it in private. All the scholars present here know that the more people understand the principles, the more they care about etiquette, justice, integrity and shame. After all, it's too disgraceful to do so.

"I think brother Ning Ping is right. Mr. Cen probably won't make such a move, so our worries are unnecessary."

Li Jing Daru agreed with this point of view, and felt that some things should not be overthought.

And the words of these two people also made the other three great scholars present nod, and at the same time heaved a sigh of relief. They were worried before that it was indeed because of this conference that the Nainan Confucianism was held, and they also wanted their own line to prosper, and Song Zhishu was top priority.

Therefore, after hearing that he was picked up by people from other schools, he couldn't help but lose his composure, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that he was thinking too much.

The more it is at this time, the more stable it is.

"Then what shall we do next?"

At this time, Xu Yuan Daru said: "Mr. Cen is an elder, and now he has picked up Song Xiaoyou. For now, we can only wait."

The other party was waiting openly at the gate of the city. According to Confucian etiquette, even if they wanted to see Song Zhishu, they had to wait for the conversation between the two parties to finish first. It would be inconsistent with etiquette to go there abruptly.

"Unexpectedly, you still feel that nothing will happen. The so-called gentleman is omnipotent. Don't you know the seriousness of the situation now?"

At this moment, an old figure appeared from outside the door and walked directly into the lobby. This was an old man with a somewhat stooped figure, dressed in black and leaning on a cane. His beard and hair were all white, but his eyes But Zhong seemed to be able to see through everything and contained infinite knowledge. After he entered the lobby, he looked around with a serious face.

"Master Zeng, why are you here?"

And when Ningping Daru and others saw the old man, they were shocked immediately, and then without any hesitation, they all walked out and bowed.

Zeng Yong, the leader of the Southern School of Confucianism, is also the enlightenment teacher of Ningping Confucianism and Guyun Confucianism, and has the same status as Cen Xingyuan.

Among Confucian scholars, he is one of the top few great Confucians.

So after he appeared, the few people present did not dare to be negligent, and all showed respect.

It was just what the other party said that made Li Jing and the others a little puzzled. After saluting, Ning Ping couldn't help asking: "Master Zeng, aren't you in retreat? And what did you mean by that sentence just now? "

What is the seriousness of the current situation?
Although they are all great Confucianists, they do not understand this in their hearts.

"Humph."

Zeng Yong snorted coldly, and said directly: "If I continue to retreat, I don't know what will happen."

"According to what you said just now, is it that Song Xiaoyou has been picked up by that old fellow Cen Xingyuan?"

As soon as these words came out, several great Confucian scholars couldn't help showing helpless expressions.

You can call Mr. Cen like that.

I'm afraid that in the whole world, there are only a few people like Master Zeng.

Of course, they didn't get too entangled in this aspect, but nodded: "That's right, they were indeed picked up by Mr. Cen."

This sentence made Zeng Yong take a deep breath, and then he didn't say much, just said: "In that case, you can go to Yunzhou Academy with me."

With that said, he was about to turn around and leave the lobby.

"Master Zeng."

In the end, Ning Ping spoke up, and couldn't help but said: "Mr. Cen is with Song Xiaoyou now, there must be some conversation between the two of you, if we just pass by like this, I'm afraid it won't be very good."

Anyway, should we abide by Confucian etiquette?

"When is it, are you still talking about these unnecessary etiquette?"

But Zeng Yong scolded directly, looking at several great scholars, as if scolding students: "Wait any longer, Song Xiaoyou is afraid that he has joined the lineage of Zongsheng, who do you think Cen Xingyuan is? Song Xiaoyou is a person who has realized the way of university , is a true genius, with the appearance of a saint, in this case, will Cen Xingyuan let it go?"

"After Zongsheng was enthroned, all the university schools came together and cultivated their own talents. Zongsheng's line was suppressed. They were trying to take this opportunity to let their own line produce another saint. Song Xiaoyou must be given by them. noticed."

The voice fell.

Ning and the other great Confucian scholars all showed astonishment.

They originally thought that Song Zhishu was invited by Cen Xingyuan to Yunzhou Academy for the Longyuan Conference.

But thinking about the other party's behavior, he probably wouldn't do this, but now, Zeng Shi actually proposed that the other party wanted Song Zhishu to transfer to Zongsheng's lineage.
For a moment, several great Confucian scholars couldn't believe it.

"Master Zeng, this shouldn't be possible, right?"

Xu Yuan didn't even think about this question, and continued: "Scholars all over the world know that Song Xiaoyou is a member of my southern Confucianism, and with the friendship between Gu Yun and Wen Yuan, even if Song Xiaoyou is faced with an invitation, he will probably refuse it." That's right."

Although Song Zhishu didn't have much contact with the people present, or even met them, he still believed in him.

Especially Ning Ping, who knew that the other party was in Taihao Sword Sect, and came forward for a group of low-level disciples.

From this point of view, we can understand what kind of person Song Zhishu is.

He would never be transferred to Zong Sheng's sect just because of one or two words from Cen Xingyuan.

"What if Cen Xingyuan took out the Zongsheng Handbook? And made a promise to let Song Xiaoyou embark on the way of a Confucian saint?"

Zeng Yong opened his mouth and said in a deep voice: "Don't think that Cen Xingyuan will not do that, and after Zongsheng passed away, he also left some means for Zongsheng's line, plus Song Xiaoyou's saintly posture, and his way of seeking Taoism Xin, will you agree?"

"You know, if Cen Xingyuan really did this, just imagine how many scholars in the world would not be tempted?"

Take out the Zongsheng Handbook?

After hearing this, Ning and the others finally realized the seriousness of the matter.

Yes, which scholar would refuse to embark on the path of a saint?
Although they believe that Song Zhishu is a person who can stick to his heart, the temptation is too great, and there are things left by the saints. As long as they get it, it is conceivable that the other party will reach a higher level in a short period of time. realm.

With the addition of his talent, it is not difficult to become a saint.
"The Longyuan Conference is nothing, but the meaning of a saint is completely different. It is related to the dispute over the path of each school. Cen Yuanxing knows the meaning. I understand him. As long as possible, he will definitely do it. Now, you still think that this is Is it a little thing?"

Zeng Yong continued to speak, slamming every word, letting Master Ning Ping and others know how serious the matter is.

It is true that among the Southern School of Confucianism, there are also a few good seedlings.

But compared to Song Zhishu, it was still far behind.

It must be known that the other party had already entered the realm of a Confucian gentleman not long ago, and there are few in the world today who can compare.

In addition, the Southern School of Confucianism is currently weak and urgently needs someone to save the decline, and Song Zhishu is the best and their only candidate now.

As the leader of the Southern School of Confucianism, how could Zeng Yong sit still under such circumstances?
"Okay, let's go now."

Ning Ping Daru and others also know that this is not a temporary dispute, it is related to the future of each of their schools, and must be treated seriously.

Even if it was possible that they were thinking too much, in any case, this kind of thing couldn't happen.

Several other Confucian scholars have no objection to this.

Then, under Zeng Yong's leadership, everyone left the Confucian residence of the Southern School together.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Because Cen Xingyuan personally led the way, Song Zhishu and his party arrived in front of Yunzhou Academy not long after.

Yunzhou Academy is a place that scholars all over the world yearn for, but Song Zhishu stood in front of the door, but found that this academy is not special, it is similar to ordinary academies, it is nothing more than a little bigger, standing outside can vaguely see the buildings inside .

Of course, the difference is that he can still feel it, revealing an extremely pure Confucian righteousness, faintly rushing into the sky.

Studying in this kind of place, even those who have never been exposed to Confucianism, can be enlightened in a short time.

"Song Xiaoyou, let's go in and take a look."

Cen Xingyuan had a panoramic view of Song Zhishu's performance, and he couldn't help but feel a little more sure about what he was going to do next, so he thought about inviting him into the academy, and then he could tell his real purpose.

"it is good."

In this regard, Song Zhishu naturally would not refuse.

"Hold on."

But at this moment, a voice came, which attracted everyone's attention.

Not far away, another group of scholars in Confucian uniforms came over. There were old people and young people. .

"Wang faction?" Beside, Chen Jingyun couldn't help but speak when he saw this.

After Song Zhishu heard it, he thought about it for a while, and immediately knew that the Wang School, as Mr. Cheng Hong said before, is a recently rising school, backed by the Great Zhou Dynasty. Among the major Confucian schools, its strength is comparable to that of the Zong The holy lineage is on par.

It is also one of the two most popular schools at the Longyuan Conference.

After seeing this scene, Cen Xingyuan was slightly startled.

He knew it was going to be difficult.
