Meet the Gentleman

Chapter 284: The Saint's Reputation is More Important than Heaven

Guan Shengwu Qin?

The men of letters and poets on both sides of the Lingshui River were all somewhat stunned.

Apart from the students of Zangshan Academy and the local literati in Bocheng, there were hardly any outside literati who believed in it.

Especially the zither players.

But at this time, Feng Sheng personally stepped forward.

Aren’t you afraid of being canonized as a saint and bringing shame upon yourself in front of the world?
At this time, the teachers and instructors of the Thirteen Academies all frowned, and one teacher even shook his head and said, "The canonization is a bit hasty."

The reputation of a saint is more important than heaven.

But if he himself is canonized as a saint but does not cherish it, who can he blame?

"It is normal for a saint to be a little arrogant when he has won an honor that no one else in the world can get before he reaches the age of twenty." An instructor said calmly, and after a pause, he said, "It is not a bad thing to experience some twists and turns early on in the road to sainthood."

Upon hearing this, the other teachers could not help but shake their heads and smile bitterly.

"I see that Canonized Saint is not a reckless person, maybe it is true..."

A teacher hesitated and said.

Unfortunately, not many people agree with it.

Most of the teachers and instructors who came to Bocheng this time were teachers of the zither from the Thirteen Academies, and all of them were zither players of the sixth rank or above.

They have been learning the piano for more than ten years, even dozens of years, how could they not know?
However, at this time, both the zither players of the Thirteen Academies and the teachers and instructors of the Thirteen Academies began to sign up.

With the kingdom in front of us, how can we not let them get jealous?

Jiang Shan also became famous in Bocheng because he understood the sacred song "Soul Summoning" and was canonized as a "genius".

At this time, he was surrounded by a group of literati and musicians.

"Brother Jiang is a genius. Today, you have mastered the sacred song "Soul Summoning". How about I treat you?" A young man in elegant clothes said enthusiastically, "I hope Brother Jiang will not refuse."

"Brother Jiang, this is Brother Chen, Chen Shan, Chen Yuqing, from the Chen family of Runan County. His grandfather was not only a great scholar, but also a doctor of the Twenty-Seven Book Mountain."

Someone introduced.

When everyone heard this, they all looked at the elegant young man in surprise.

"It turns out to be Master Shan, Shan is polite."

The down-and-out middle-aged man hurriedly saluted, and the young man in front of him, who was dressed in luxurious clothes, was also a student at the level of a scholar.

She is only about twenty years old now, and her future will definitely be brighter than his.

"Brother Jiang, you are too polite."

The elegant young man smiled and glanced in the direction of Yuntian.

Although he was not a student of Sanshang Academy, he was a student of one of the top ten academies and entered the school one year earlier than Yuntian.

This year he just turned 20, and is a prominent figure in the academy.

In the 81 academies, he is one of the key training targets for becoming a great scholar.

"Hey, Chen Yuqing from Taihao Academy is here too?"

Some students were slightly surprised when they saw the elegant young man.

"That Chen Yuqing who likes the zither but has no talent at all?" Some students were surprised when they heard this.

After all, Chen Yuqing's reputation is not small among the Thirteen Academies.

However, he is famous not because of his talent, but because he is still a child of piano...

"Brother, are you coming to Junzi Bridge tonight?"

A student hesitated for a moment and asked.

"Come."

Yuntian looked in the direction of the Holy Palace and said lightly.

At this time, he asked the students to register on his behalf, and then he returned to Bocheng surrounded by many students.

……

It was getting dark.

During the Wu hour, many lyre players came to Junzi Bridge, carrying their seven-stringed lyres.

Not long after, the zither players of Fengming Zither Society cleaned up Junzi Bridge and brought in desks, books, etc., all of which were placed in the center of Junzi Bridge.

"Everyone, please go down to Junzi Bridge. Junzi Bridge is where the saints study."

A zither player from Fengming Zither Society said.

Upon hearing this, the zither players who came did not ask too many questions, but walked down the Junzi Bridge and stood on both sides of the Lingshui River.

As time passed, towards the end of the Wu hour, many onlookers had already stood on both sides of the Lingshui River.

In addition to the zither players, there are also many students.

At this time, all the outside musicians were very curious and planned to experience the legendary "Watching the Sage Play the Qin" for themselves.

At the end of the Wu hour.

A figure in white came from Xusheng Palace and landed gently on Junzi Bridge.

"Meet the canonization."

"Meet the canonization."

There were no less than a thousand people crowded on both sides of the Lingshui River.

At this time, when everyone saw Feng Qingyan coming, they all bowed respectfully and looked at him curiously.

"No need to be polite."

Feng Qingyan returned the gift.

"I hold the lamp for the canonization."

"The maid is grinding ink for the gentleman."

Two beautiful maids came forward with oil lamps and knelt down beside Feng Qingyan.

Feng Qingyan nodded, and seeing that Mu Yu was just standing under the bridge at one end of the Junzi Bridge, he said, "Girl, come onto the bridge."

"Thank you for the canonization."

When Mu Yu heard this, his heart warmed up and he bowed.

She walked onto the Junzi Bridge with her seven-stringed harp on her back and stopped ten feet away from Feng Qingyan. Apart from the two maids, Mu Yu was the only person on the Junzi Bridge.

The players of Fengming Lute Club were all a little surprised when they saw this. The senior brother was trying to make the girl famous. However, Fang Wang, the second most important person in Fengming Lute Club, felt quite sad at this moment. He looked at Feng Qingyan with a bit of resentment...

At this time, almost everyone's eyes were on Mu Yu.

Mu Yu was dressed in white, with her long black hair dancing in the autumn wind. Her slender body was carrying a huge seven-stringed harp, and she exuded a graceful demeanor, like a banished celestial being from heaven.

This made the literati and poets on both sides of the Lingshui River all eyes light up.

"Who is this girl? Why was she invited to the Gentleman Bridge to be canonized?" Some students who didn't know the girl looked at Mu Yu in surprise.

"This girl is Mu Yu, the vice president of Fengming Qin Society. Rumor has it that she is a good friend of the canonized saint."

A student answered.

However, they were all amazed by Mu Yu.

Even Yuntian couldn't help but take a second look. After all, none of the women around him could compare to the shepherdess.

Chen Shan's eyes sparkled with admiration.

Feng Qingyan knelt down in front of the desk, picked up a volume of Confucian classics from the books on the side and began to read.

At this time, many students looked at each other in bewilderment. Is this Guan Sheng Wu Qin?
Time passed little by little.

The zither players of Fengming Zither Club all held their breath and focused, watching Feng Qingyan intently.

The other musicians and students looked at Feng Qingyan and began to whisper to each other, all with bewildered looks on their faces.

At this time, even the instructors and teachers of the Thirteen Academies could not help but shake their heads in disappointment.

"Brother Jiang, what did you see?"

After Chen Shan looked at Feng Qingyan, he frowned and asked Jiang Shan.

Jiang Shan, on the other hand, was focused and staring at Feng Qingyan without looking away, as if he didn't hear Chen Shan's words at all.

"what?"

Chen Shan turned around and was a little surprised.

Yuntian and other talented students also watched the canonization ceremony carefully, but they didn't see anything. They were not disappointed, but just a little surprised.

What does canonization mean?

In the blink of an eye, an hour passed.

Many students and pianists left with their heads shaken in disappointment.

Soon after, even some of the teachers and instructors of the Thirteenth Academy shook their heads and left. It would be better to go to the Enlightenment Tree to gain enlightenment than to "watch the Saint Enlightenment Qin" here.

At least someone understood the sacred song "The Conjuring".
