The Demon Soul is Coming

Early the next morning, Liu Sang was going to go out alone.

However, Xia Yingchen was worried after all, and sent a group of generals to escort him to the Xuewen Academy.

In fact, Liu Sang himself is not worried. It is difficult for the blood prison gate to link him with the murderer who killed the twelve boys. Naturally, there is no reason to regard him as a target. They set off after the color was bright, and there must be people coming and going on the road at this time, and the Blood Prison Gate didn't dare to make a move easily.

Moreover, the target of the Blood Prison Gate seems to be his sister-in-law Xia Zhaowu. At least that time, the Twelve Boys hid in the forest to kidnap Xia Zhaowu, not to deal with him.

But no matter what, it was also the kindness of the lady, so he didn't refuse.

As soon as he left the mansion, there were two knights leading a group of handsome white horses. Liu Sang felt familiar, but found that one of them was actually Yinglu, and the other was also in the Danqing room of the Xuewen Academy last night. seen.

The two dismounted and cupped their hands, Ying Lu led the white horse, and said, "Welcome Brother Liu, brother Liu, please get on the horse."

Liu Sang was flattered: "Don't dare, dare not, you two..."

Ying Ludao: "Yesterday in Danqing's room, I was trained by Brother Liu, and I realized that I have little knowledge. Mr. Qin ordered me to come here to meet Brother Liu. You are welcome, Brother Liu." He was supposed to be older There are many Liu Sang, but at this time he actually calls Liu Sang his brother.

Liu Sang was polite, but couldn't refuse, so he got on his horse.

Three handsome horses, one in front and two behind, walked in the middle of the road, but after a few miles, two more horses came towards them. Immediately, the two students cupped their hands and said, "Welcome Brother Liu." They stepped aside.

Liu Sang was at a loss... what kind of plane is this?

Five people walked forward, one in front and four in the back, after a few moments, two more galloped up and said, "Welcome brother Liu."

Yingcheng was originally the capital of the country, and there were already many people on the official road, and the surroundings saw it, and they couldn't help talking about it.One of them asked: "Aren't these few students from the Excuse Palace? Now is the time to go to school, what are they doing?"

Another person said: "Could it be 'three welcomes'?"

The man said: "Three welcomes? What is this?"

Another person said: "Three welcomes are the high-level etiquette for asking a doctor to enter the palace. In the past, the one who was "welcome three times" could be a famous scripture teacher. But it is not right. This young man is not very old, so he must not be Doctor, is it a student? But it has never happened to invite students with the 'three welcomes'."

While talking, two more riders came rushing from a distance: "Brother Liu, please!"

Liu Sang said: "Please, please!"

The two riders were not following behind him, but leading the way ahead.

Seeing two fronts, one middle school and six backs, nine riders galloped away, the speaker was stunned for a while, and suddenly moved: "Could it be that there are four more invitations?"

***

In the mansion, Xia Yingchen was sitting on the ground, writing a family letter to his father.

Xia Zhaowu lay on the desk like a bored kitten.Although she wanted to play outside, Xia Yingchen was worried and insisted on keeping her sister by her side.The unprovoked attack at the post station, and the death of the twelve boys from the Blood Prison Gate in the forest leading to the Xunwen Academy already made Xia Yingchen wake up.

After staying like this for a long time, Xiaohuang suddenly rushed in: "Miss, miss..."

Xia Yingchen frowned slightly: "What's the matter?" She didn't like her maid's gaffe.

Xiaohuang hurriedly restrained herself, but still seemed extremely excited: "People outside are talking about Mr. Fu Ma."

Xia Zhaowu raised her head, while Xia Yingchen just said lightly, "What are you talking about?" The brush was still writing on the paper.

Xiaohuang whispered: "Talk about Fu Ma Ye's verbal battle with all the students in the academy yesterday, and his refutation of Mr. Pan at the eldest prince's mansion, and the matter of making Old Doctor Qin chase him to the eldest prince's mansion."

Xia Yingchen didn't really believe it, and said: "It must be just a few family members outside the mansion talking about this matter, what's so surprising about it, you make such a fuss?"

Xiaohuang said: "It's not the servants in the house, but the whole street is talking about it."

Xia Yingchen glanced at her: "It's true that attaching a horse to a school to discuss paintings is a great display of prestige, but how can ordinary people care about this? As for the vocal dispute at the night banquet last night, it wouldn't spread all over the street."

Xiao Huang said in a low voice: "Actually, the slaves don't know what happened, they only know that Fu Ma just left the mansion, after all, the Xuegong sent seven batches of [-] cavalry to welcome Fu Ma Ye to the Xue Palace along the way, so the whole city is full of people. Talking about it."

Xia Zhaowu laughed and said: "Then Mr. Qin is really interesting. Could it be that he is afraid that his brother-in-law will run away and sent so many people to tie him up?"

When I looked again, I saw my sister standing there holding the pen, not even paying attention to the ink falling down and staining the hard-won letters into black spots.After a while, Xia Yingchen came to his senses, and said in surprise, "Three greetings and four invitations?"

Xia Zhaowu asked in a low voice: "Sister... what are three welcomes and four invitations?"

……

Surrounded by fourteen riders, Liu Sang rode to the Research Palace.

Three welcomes and four invitations are the highest etiquette for the Academy to invite scripture teachers to enter the palace. Those families he brought will follow behind, and it is also an honor to see Fuma enter the academy.

Entering the academy, there are rows of students sitting there.Ying Lu clasped his hands and said, "Listen to what Old Doctor Qin said, last night Brother Liu had a debate about the importance of piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and state affairs at the Grand Prince's banquet last night. Confused."

Yesterday there were only dozens of people in Danqing's discussion on painting, but now there are thousands of people. Are you going to roast me on the fire?

Liu Sang bit the bullet, and once again embraced the consciousness of "soldiers come to block, water comes to cover, and the traveler comes chachachacha", walked onto the stage, was sitting on the mat, and began to use "why people are born to know beauty and ugliness" as the starting point point, and then through "creatures are moved by beauty", directly to "the ultimate goal of the four arts, and the value of human self-existence", and then tear off the "famous quotes" written down from the ancient jade as your own tiger skin, Part of it is his own understanding, and part is taken from Plato's "Utopia".

For the students, raising the Four Arts to such a height is really unheard of, and the saying that the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting originated from "human beings are born to know beauty and pursue the ultimate beauty" is also very new to the students.

At the same time, Liu Sang cooperated with his debate skills and speech skills to explain his views vividly.

For these students, it is normal to like piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and they have always regarded it as a skill for self-entertainment. This is the first time they have heard someone talk about it from such a height that transcends the country and history.Until Liu Sang left the meeting, everyone was still intoxicated by this unprecedented speech.

Liu Sang was led to a garden.

The birds and flowers are fragrant in the forest, and the scenery is charming.

Old Dr. Qin sat in the garden with a tree stump as a table, and when he saw Liu Sang coming, he said with a smile, "My little brother's speech just now is sharp and far-reaching, just like drinking tea, with a fragrant taste and endless aftertaste."

Liu Sang asked in surprise: "The old doctor is so far away, can he still hear it?" Could it be that the old man is such a master?

Old Dr. Qin said with a smile: "Little brother, please listen." He took a bamboo pole and pulled out a flower next to it. All kinds of discussions in the square immediately spread, all talking about Liu Sangshicai's speech.

Dr. Qin said: "This flower is called Tongsheng flower, and there is a plant planted in the corner of the square. There is a wonderful resonance between the two flowers. If this resonance is converted by the technique of mechanism, the flower on the other side can be transformed. The voice came from here."

Liu Sang was surprised... Isn't this similar to a phone call?

Sitting opposite Mr. Qin, he smiled wryly and said, "The old doctor is going to put me on the hot pot. Fortunately, I have a little bit of ability to fool people, otherwise I would make a fool of myself in public."

Mr. Qin laughed and said: "Only because of my little brother's ability to talk about paintings with Danqing last night, which made those fools speechless at the time and convinced them afterwards, I can't make a fool of myself. What's more, my little brother last night at the banquet. It's a novel idea, even the old man has never heard of it, and it's not just to fool people."

Liu Sang rubbed his nose: "But 'three welcomes and four invitations' is really too much, I really can't afford it."

"There is another reason for this," Elder Qin said with a smile, "On the one hand, it is because of your unique paintings and the debate at the banquet last night, which impressed me, but on the other hand, it is also to thank you A certain thing you did a few days ago, and the care you took for a certain person. Even so, the little brother did not disappoint the old man, and the speech just now made the old man like drinking wine."

Liu Sang said in astonishment: "The person the old doctor mentioned is..."

Old Qin said: "Girl, are you still coming out?"

Behind a few osmanthus trees, a girl turned out.
