Dao fruit.

As Qiu Yan's thoughts fell, his thoughts settled down, he recited scriptures silently in his heart, mobilized the bookshelves in his soul, and inspired the spirit of sages.

This kind of stimulation can make the allocated spiritual seeds be pulled and burst out with strength. However, because of the distance, this kind of pull is not obvious, and at most Qiu Yan's perception can be extended a little.

What's more, Xu Shoulao used some tricks to confuse his own position, which to a certain extent made Qiu Yan's perception erratic.

Now, Qiu Yan is concentrating his mind, and the deity is analyzing Tian Zhun's breath again. These two bodies are actually one idea, which is equivalent to one person calculating and doing at the same time, and the efficiency will naturally increase.

Immediately, the erratic perception became much clearer. Although he couldn't calculate the opponent's position, he could roughly perceive the blurred image of the illusion in Tian Zhun's mind.

"The legalist spirit is an insurance that I keep in Tian Zhun's heart. It is not used to be hostile to others. Since it has also been drawn out, I can only follow the trend."

Thinking about it, Qiu Yan's thoughts passed far away.

At this moment, in the illusion in Tian Zhun's mind, the spiritual conception of explaining ghosts and gods has the upper hand. After obliterating the spirit of Yasheng Wenwen, a little bit of the spirit of showing magic is inspired.

However, this spirit of manifestation is not aggressive. Once it is revealed, it turns into thin threads, intertwined with each other, and expands rapidly, spreading throughout the entire illusion.

This illusion is actually a reflection of Tian Zhun's mind, representing his consciousness.

Now, the spirit of Xianfa appears, instead of influencing and interfering with this illusion, it is embedded in it one by one.In every way, there is a normative and established artistic conception, actually making rules for the illusion!

At this time, the spirit of explaining ghosts and gods surged.He wanted to wipe out the spirit of Xianfa, but the latter seemed to be powerless, moved with his thoughts, and entangled in the past, extracted a little information from the spirit of explaining ghosts and gods, perfected his own rules, and merged into the illusion, which in turn affected Tian Zhun's mind ,consciousness.

"Oh? Interesting, since this child's life is no longer threatened, the old man doesn't have to continue to intervene..."

outside world.Old Xu Shou spoke in a low voice.Then slowly raise your hand.All kinds of mental fluctuations gushing out of him disappeared instantly!

Snapped!

Tian Zhun's body suddenly bounced off the ground, there was a crisp sound inside his body, and then his eyes widened suddenly.Howl!

Hearing this sound, Meng Huaqin hurried forward, grabbed Tian Zhun's wrist, and his true energy poured in to calm down the change in the opponent's body while checking his physical condition.

This investigation reassured him a little, and he found that Tian Zhun's flesh and blood were no longer cracked, which showed that his mood had calmed down.

"Uncle Shi..." A faint voice came from Tian Zhun's mouth, and he was as pale as paper.There was a lingering sense of dejection and discouragement in his eyes.

It's no wonder that he was troubled by the illusion first, even his physical body was involved, he was seriously injured, and his consciousness was chased and killed one after another in the illusion. He was isolated and helpless, and he was extremely embarrassed. Unknowingly, he fell into Qiu Yan's tricks, which was a big blow to his confidence.

But this is not fatal. What really frustrates him is that when the two spirits are fighting, his mind is infected and forcibly reversed one after another. This feeling is unbearable for an adult, let alone a teenager. ?

The heart is higher than the sky, but the reality is cruel and ruthless.

One can imagine the big blow.

The previous rhetoric has been shattered in front of reality.

Because the man was still injured, his vitality had not recovered, Meng Huaqin did not notice the abnormal expression, but the latter could also foresee the blow to Tian Zhun, and wanted to comfort him, but his words were powerless. It was Tian Zhun who created it himself. Although the teachings of their group emphasize benevolence, righteousness and enmity, they do not support revenge for this kind of behavior.

At this time, Xu Shoulao withdrew his hand and said in a low voice: "Okay, you can leave."

Hearing these words, Meng Huaqin quickly expressed his thanks: "Thank you Shou Lao for saving me, my disciple's promise will definitely be fulfilled."

"Just remember." Xu Shoulao said this, and changed the topic, "However, before leaving, you must tell the old man about it. What is the origin of the person who planted the spirit?"

"This..." Meng Huaqin hesitated for a moment, but finally told the truth.

"Qiu Yan?" Xu Shoulao chewed on the name, then fell silent, and said after a while, "Okay, let's go."

"Disciple farewell." Meng Huaqin said no more, and left with Tian Zhun.

The dark crypt returned to calm, and no one would have thought that in such a place, there would be someone who would be alone, sitting cross-legged for years, motionless.

………………

Dongdu, inn.

Qiu Yan regained his consciousness, and after a long time, he opened his eyes, raised his right hand, a little light shot out from the depths of his eyes, flew straight out, and landed on his fingertips.

There is a little spirit in this little light.

"This spirit, similar to the spirit of sages, represents a kind of proposition and avenue, which contains the trend of leading humanity, but cannot mobilize the surrounding order..."

Feeling this spirit, Qiu Yan narrowed his eyes, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

This bit of spirit is the bit of hostile spirit that was stripped away and collected by the spirit of Xianfa in Tian Zhun's illusion. When Qiu Yan collected his consciousness, it was taken back by the trend.

The scholar's avatar is not good enough to analyze this point of spirit, so he just got a little insight and passed it out through the hole in his soul.

After doing this, Qiu Yan stood up from the bed and tidied up his clothes. So far, the matter has come to an end.

Early the next morning, a family member of the famous Qianshuzhai came over and said that his family was rude and sent the letter of war indiscriminately, so he came to apologize and said that the matter would be written off.

After hearing this, Qiu Yan just smiled and revealed the matter, as if he had expected it long ago.

Afterwards, Hu Qi couldn't help asking, but Qiu Yan didn't hide it from him, and said methodically——

"The person who wrote the gauntlet to me mentioned Xingtan Forum when he was talking to you, and his tone was not small. Judging from his behavior, he should be a person who wants to make a blockbuster. Such a person, seeing my words, raised his eyebrows. The idea of ​​comparison is not unexpected, but if you inquire afterward and know that I, Qiu Yan, is not well-known in the Eastern Capital, I will naturally give up or postpone it."

Hu Qi was more and more puzzled: "You didn't come just because you didn't have a good reputation, son? But at that time, I was very excited to see him."

Qiu Yan smiled and replied: "When he saw my words, he thought that he was not an unknown person. The idea of ​​wanting to challenge came from the heart, but with my current reputation, even if he wins, he won't have too much trouble." Great response. This person has a very high spirit, and in order to expose a small matter in advance, he sent someone to come over and cancel the contract, which actually has another meaning."

"What do you mean?"

"Just leave the competition on the apricot forum." Qiu Yan said, picking up a book from the table.

Hu Qi hesitated slightly, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Young Master, what is going on with this apricot forum discussion? Do you really want to participate?"

"Of course I want to participate, but I have to think about how to participate." Qiu Yan said, opened the book in his hand, and read it.

When Hu Qi saw it, he realized it in his heart, so he resigned on his own.

Afterwards, Qiu Yan began to recite softly in the room, and after breakfast, someone came to the door again.

There were two people who came to visit, one of whom was an acquaintance of Qiu Yan.

"Brother Qiu, I'm sorry to bother you." Looking at Chen Jing with a smile on his face, Qiu Yan secretly guessed the other party's intention, and at the same time returned the greeting, then turned his eyes and landed behind Chen Jing.

Behind him was a person who was also dressed as a Confucian scholar. Judging by the style of his clothes, he was still a scholar with a handsome face and a faint sense of nobility on his body.

"Who is this……"

"I was going to introduce you," Chen Jing smiled and replied, "This Liu Zhanpeng is now my fellow student. He just passed the entrance exam a few days ago."

"I've met Brother Qiu." After Chen Jing's introduction, Liu Zhanpeng came up to greet him. Qiu Yan saluted naturally, caught a trace of familiarity in the other party, and immediately understood it.

Sure enough, Chen Jing said: "Speaking of which, Zhan Peng and Brother Qiu still have some connections. He is the eldest son of Liu Guanshi. He passed the Juren examination this year and got a letter of recommendation. He came to the academy to be an apprentice."

"Sure enough."

Qiu Yan thought to himself, and went over to chat with Liu Zhanpeng.

The Observation Envoy Liu mentioned in Chen Jingkou refers to Liu Jing, the Observation Envoy of Jiannan Road. Qiu Yan was able to be noticed by Lizong Academy because of Liu Jing's recommendation.

In fact, before taking the provincial examination, Qiu Yan had heard people say that the son of the observer was also taking the exam this year. This son of an official had also traveled to Jiannan and worked hard in the residence of the observer for a long time.

As an official in Darui, except for some special circumstances, you usually have to take up the post in a different place, that is, you can't go back to your hometown to be an official, especially a civil official, in order to prevent people from getting involved. The second son of the family, Pan Xiang, had previously returned to his hometown to serve as a commander, which was considered a special case.

Liu Jing is an official in Jiannan, but his ancestral home is Jingxiang. As his son, although Liu Zhanpeng traveled to Jiannan, he still has to go back to his hometown to take the imperial examination, so Qiu Yan has never met him.

However, with Liu Jing's relationship, the two seemed a lot closer, and they became familiar after a few words.

Seeing that Qiu Yan and Liu Zhanpeng got acquainted a lot, Chen Jing stopped talking and explained the reason for his visit: "I heard that brother Qiu and the Ma family have some rifts?"

"Oh?" Hearing this, Qiu Yan's heart moved, "This matter spread so quickly? It's just a small conflict, how did you let Brother Chen know?"

"It's not that things are spreading fast, but that someone is fueling the flames," Chen Jing laughed, "I came here this time because I was entrusted by others. Brother Qiu, you probably don't know that the seventh child of the Ma family is also here now." Li Zong was the one who entrusted me to study here."

Having said that, he turned his head and ordered outside the door: "Bring people in."

After the words fell, a cry came from outside the door——

"let me go!"

Afterwards, a servant in Tsing Yi came in, twisting a servant.

"Who is this person?" Qiu Yan narrowed his eyes.

"This man is Ma Wan's long follower," Chen Jing pointed at the boy, "Last night he came to the academy and asked to see Ma Laoqi, but he used the name of Ma's house to tell lies, and Ma Laoqi reprimanded him a few words. Then hand it over to me."
