Meet the Gentleman

Chapter 1012: A Gentleman’s Righteousness is the Most Important

in the valley.

The vegetation is lush, just like a primeval forest.

Green vines as thick as arms hung from trees more than ten feet high, bursting with the power of life...

The trees all around block out the sun.

under the tree.

Zhang Zheng bowed respectfully and treated Feng Qingyan as a disciple.

At this time, Lian Li, Dalang, Du Qing and others finally woke up from the sound of the piano and were looking around in a daze.

"This……"

The elegant old man opened his mouth. What was going on? How did he end up in a dense forest for no reason?

"What is this place?"

One scholar couldn't help but say that it was impossible to recognize it as Aries Valley.

"do not know……"

Another scholar shook his head, his face full of confusion, and couldn't help asking: "Big Brother, what's going on? I remember that we were listening to Mr. Feng's music before. Why did we suddenly come here?"

"There are lush vegetation here, and no traces of human beings..."

"Strange."

"However, the air here is very fresh, which makes people feel comfortable..."

While everyone was extremely surprised, many people were a little panicked, after all, they came to a strange place for no apparent reason.

How to prevent them from being afraid and worried?

When they saw that the teacher and Mr. Feng were there, they felt a little relieved.

"Teacher, what's going on?" An anxious student asked hurriedly, "What on earth happened? How did we suddenly get here? Where is this place?"

"Mr. Feng, do you know what's going on?"

"I remember that we were listening to Mr. Feng playing the piano before, but when we woke up from the music, we appeared here."

Many students flocked to Zhang Zheng and Mr. Feng, asking in confusion what was going on.

"This is still Aries Valley..."

Zhang Zheng turned around and looked at his students. He understood their shock and confusion. In fact, he only understood vaguely, and was not very clear about the situation in front of him. He roughly guessed that the changes in Aries Valley were related to the sound of the piano...

It seems that the sound of the piano contains a tremendous force of life.

"Or Aries Valley?"

"What do you mean?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and they couldn't understand it for a moment. But soon, they understood it, and they were all stunned and didn't believe it...

"Aries Valley?"

"This is Aries Valley? How is this possible?"

"This is clearly a primeval forest with no trace of human beings. How can it be the Aries Valley? Teacher, this tree must be at least several hundred years old."

A scholar pointed to a big tree not far away and said.

"Yeah, how could this be Aries Valley?"

There were also scholars who agreed.

"Zizhi, is this Aries Valley?"

At this time, even the elegant old man was stunned, but the surrounding vegetation was too dense, making it impossible for them to see the surrounding situation.

but.

Even though you can see the surrounding situation, the surrounding vegetation has changed dramatically.

Still unrecognizable.

"This is indeed Aries Valley."

Zhang Zheng said seriously, looking around with curiosity and surprise, and indeed could not recognize it. "As for why Aries Valley has become like this, with dense forests and giant vines everywhere, it is because the teacher played a song."

Zhang Zheng looked at the surrounding vegetation and continued, "The teacher's piano music contains a great life force, which makes the vegetation in the valley grow wildly..."

Lian Li: “…”

Dalang: “…”

Du Qing: “…”

Everyone: "..."

teacher?

Teacher, what does this mean?
The one who played just now was only Mr. Feng. The teacher called Mr. Feng teacher?

Although "Xiangsheng" also means "teacher", generally speaking, one is called a teacher only after one has become your disciple...

For example, them.

They entered Baiyangdong Academy and Zhang's Thatched Cottage, which meant they became Zhang Zheng's disciples, so they called him teacher.

And when the teacher calls Mr. Feng "teacher", doesn't that mean that he is already Mr. Feng's disciple?

How could Mr. Feng have such merits and abilities that a great scholar with a great reputation all over the world would become his disciple? And how old was he?
Young man, how old are you?

Can you bear it? Aren't you afraid of shortening your life? What qualifications do you have to let a world-famous scholar worship you as his teacher?
This made everyone lose their minds.

Even Lian Li was a little stunned.

Although, he had already witnessed Feng Qingyan's talent and knowledge, he was indeed knowledgeable and few people in the world could match him.

but.

Their seniority is there.

Moreover, they are all well-known and experienced. Even if the emperor sees them, he has to call them "sir"...

They were all shocked by the "teacher" and did not pay too much attention to the life force contained in the piano music.

However, someone soon reacted, and that person was Da Lang...

Is it because of the piano sound?

Dalang was stunned, as if he was about to understand something, but he couldn't grasp it for a moment.

"Zizhi, what are you doing?"

Lian Li asked with some doubt, his eyes fell on Feng Qingyan.

"Zheng, I have already taken Mr. Feng as my master, and will be Mr. Feng's disciple from now on." Zhang Zheng said with a calm smile, looking even younger.

If it had been created by a trace of the power of creation, it would have become something like thirty or forty years.

So now I am in my early thirties.

Very young.

However, he only looks young, but his words and actions are still very calm and mature, no different from those of an old man.

"This……"

Lian Li was stunned, shocked and puzzled.

Even though Mr. Feng is extremely talented, even better than Zhang Zheng, he still doesn't need to become his disciple.

Du Qing and other students of Baiyangdong Academy were completely stunned.

Teacher, have you already accepted Mr. Feng as your teacher?
They just couldn't understand why their teacher, a master of Zhao State's literary talent, would choose Mr. Feng as his master.

After all, Mr. Feng is too young.

He has no status in the literary world, and no one in the world knows him at all...

half an hour.

Everyone came back to their senses.

"Teacher, this, this..."

Some scholars didn't know what to say for a moment and looked like they found it hard to accept.

"Teacher, this is inappropriate, right? Although Mr. Feng cured your illness, but..."

Another scholar frowned and said.

At this time, Feng Qingyan just watched with a smile and didn't say much.

After all, these scholars were students taught by Zhang Zheng, and they did not directly point at Feng Qingyan's nose and say that you are not qualified to be a teacher's teacher.

Or say things like, "How could you have deserved this?"

But his expression was very complicated.

Even Dalang was very surprised.

"It is an honor for me to have the saint as my teacher." Zhang Zheng naturally knew what his students were thinking, so he directly pointed out Feng Qingyan's identity.

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

saint?

In this world, only the philosophers are saints.

The others are at most sub-sages, or they are "conferred" as "sages" by later generations because of their great achievements, and they are all predecessors.

And now Feng Qingyan is not dead, so he cannot be the saint named "Feng", so he can only be the sub-saint.

"Teacher, Mr. Feng is a saint? This..."

Some scholars were slightly shocked.

At this moment, everyone looked at Feng Qingyan with puzzlement and disbelief in their eyes, but since it came from the teacher's mouth, they were half-believing and half-doubting.

"..."

Lian Li also wanted to ask.

But in front of Feng Qingyan, it was difficult to ask.

He still didn't quite believe that Mr. Feng was a "saint", maybe it was just Zizhi's exaggeration. "Since you want to be my teacher, I will give you a character as a gift." Feng Qingyan's eyes fell on Zhang Zheng, and he said with a faint smile.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zheng quickly turned around and said, "Thank you, teacher, for the calligraphy."

What does it mean when a teacher gives a word?
Of course I value it.

"A gentleman has nine thoughts."

Feng Qingyan spoke slowly, his voice becoming clearer and purer, without the slightest impurity, making people's hearts tremble when they heard his words, "One is to look clearly, two is to listen carefully, three is to look warm, four is to look respectful, five is to speak loyally, six is ​​to act respectfully, seven is to ask questions when in doubt, eight is to think of difficulties when angry, and nine is to think of righteousness when seeing gains."

At this moment, Feng Qingyan's voice seemed to have come from ancient time and space, falling on everyone's minds and causing their souls to tremble slightly.

It was like an epiphany.

"A gentleman has four things he shouldn't do."

Feng Qingyan continued to speak slowly, his voice still clear and pure, without the slightest impurity.

"A gentleman does not act rashly, and his actions are always justified."

"A gentleman does not speak in vain, but his words always have a reason."

"A gentleman does not seek for nothing, and what he seeks must be righteous."

And at this time.

Every word Feng Qingyan said shook the world of Donghu and touched the hearts of scholars all over the world.

“A gentleman does not act in vain, and his actions are always upright!”

When Feng Qingyan said this, an indescribable gentlemanly aura condensed in his body, like the scorching sun in the sky.

Extremely dazzling.

The whole world of East Lake trembled.

When the last character "正" came out, vast white mist surged in from all around and transformed into the character "正" which is the biggest, strongest and most righteous.

Like the scorching sun in the sky.

It seems to be shining on the world.

This made everyone lose their minds and stare blankly at the floating word "正".

"This word 'righteousness' is the spirit of a gentleman, which can suppress all evil in the world, and it is unstoppable like a broken bamboo!"

"It is like a divine thunder punishment, the strongest blow for a gentleman on earth."

Feng Qingyan said, his eyes fell on Zhang Zheng's brows, and then the word "正" quickly sank into Zhang Zheng's brows, "As a gentleman, the word '正' comes first..."

"Thank you for the calligraphy, Master. I understand."

Zhang Zheng closed his eyes for a moment and then opened them, respectfully performing the disciple's salute.

After the word "正" fell into his brow, he instantly understood many things, but he found that there were still many things he didn't understand...

but.

No matter how.

The word "positive" should come first!

Lian Li, Dalang, Du Qing and others were looking at this in shock. What was going on?
Is this a myth?
……

……

At the foot of Baiyang Mountain.

"Master Yao, Sanlang had no choice but to do this, please don't be offended."

The cold-faced scholar woke up from the sound of the piano and hurried to Baiyang Cave with a thin old man.

But as he walked, he found that everything had changed...

Not only has Baiyang Cave undergone amazing changes, but Baiyang Mountain has also undergone some amazing changes.

The vegetation was extremely lush, like a primeval forest that had never been visited by humans. There were towering trees and thick vines all around...

The road to Baiyang Cave is gone.

He was a little dumbfounded.

However, the thin old man he was pulling seemed to be still immersed in the music and had not yet woken up.

When the thin old man woke up, he looked around with a puzzled look on his face and said, "Sanlang, did you take the wrong road?"

The thin old man often treated Zhang Zheng, so he was naturally familiar with going to Aries Valley.

But where is the road ahead?
There were overgrown grass and trees everywhere, as if you had stepped into a dense forest with no human habitation.

"I-I don't know."

The cold-faced scholar stood there in a daze. His memory should be correct, but where was the way?

Where is the road?

Why aren’t you here?

Also, why are there so many towering trees all around? They are at least hundreds of years old, and some are even several hundred years old...

"That's strange. I clearly..."

The thin old man was surprised and thought seriously about what happened, "Could it be related to the magical piano sound?"

"Probably."

The cold-faced scholar said, and then tried to recall the piano music carefully, but he couldn't remember a single section, which made him stunned for a moment.

Although he is not a master of the zither, he can play the instrument.

He was absent-minded for a while, then said, "No, it should be this road. I just don't know what happened in Baiyang Mountain that caused the grass and trees to grow wildly..."

"It's true that the grass and trees are growing wildly."

The thin old man looked around and nodded. The outlines of the surrounding hills did not change much.

The cold-faced scholar fiddled with the grass and walked away without even remembering what was going on.

Moreover, he quickly confirmed that it was indeed the road leading to Aries Valley, but for some reason, the grass and trees suddenly grew wildly.

For example, the stones on the roadside have not changed.

An unknown amount of time had passed before they finally arrived at Aries Valley. However, Aries Valley was no longer the Aries Valley he once knew.

"teacher?"

"Eldest brother?"

The cold-faced scholar shouted.

"Third Junior Brother, you're back?" Dalang walked out of Aries Valley and welcomed the cold-faced scholar and the thin old man in.

After all, the current state of Aries Valley, well, is hard to describe.

"Big Brother, how did you get back? How did you become like this?"

The cold-faced scholar couldn't wait to ask.

"This is hard to explain. It has something to do with the Master."

Dalang said after a moment of hesitation.

"Mr. Big?"

The cold-faced scholar was stunned, somewhat puzzled.

"The great teacher is the teacher's teacher..."

Dalang said.

"Eh? Didn't the great master pass away?"

The cold-faced scholar was a little surprised. Zhang Zheng naturally had his own teacher. After all, not everyone was born with knowledge.

"No, it's the new Mr. Big..."

Dalang said.

"?"

The cold-faced scholar was even more confused.

"You'll know then. This matter is a bit complicated." Dalang said as he walked away, frowning slightly, "Mr. Da doesn't seem to be an ordinary person, but..."

"Big Brother, what is going on?"

The cold-faced scholar said.

After a while.

The cold-faced scholar, the thin old man and Dalang came to the depths of the valley.

They both looked at the crowd and found that even their junior brother seemed to have undergone some changes.

A subtle change.

It seemed as if there was an indescribable aura on his body.

However, he didn't seem to see the teacher, and was stunned when he saw the elegant old man.

He found that Lian Gong had become younger.

"Third Junior Brother, this is the teacher." Dalang pulled the cold-faced scholar to Zhang Zheng, who was in his early thirties.

However, the cold-faced scholar was stunned and looked Zhang Zheng up and down.

Upon closer inspection, the young man in front of him did look somewhat similar to the teacher. However...

"What are you daydreaming about?" Dalang asked quickly, "The teacher has become younger. This is really a teacher."

"how is this possible?"

The cold-faced scholar blurted out.
