Chapter 288: The Official Headmaster (1)
Southeast of Yincheng, there is a peach forest stretching thousands of miles.
People nowadays don't have this talent.
It is unknown whether this peach forest was created by some powerful person in some dynasty before Dayin.
There are two or three large rivers, seven or eight large lakes, and thousands of villages and towns scattered among them. In the vast plain area, there are few other tree species, only a few clumps of bamboo.
In this area, there are only old peach trees that are very old, each one growing stronger and stronger and bearing more beautiful fruits than the other.
Lu Yi rode a tall horse, followed by Lu Yu, and a team of personal guards surrounded a black oil carriage, slowly moving along a path. On both sides of the road were ancient peach trees that were several people's arms thick. In November, the peach trees were full of bowl-sized peaches, bright red and quite festive.
A branch was weighed down by the weight of peaches. Lu Yi passed by and picked two peaches and threw one to Lu Yu.
Lu Yu took the peach swiftly, looked at Lu Yi and smiled.
After wiping the peach on his sleeve to clean off the fine hairs, Lu Yi took a big bite.
The skin is thin, the meat is tender, and the mouth is full of honey.
Lu Yi ate the big peach clean in just a few bites and threw the peach pit into the woods. "This peach is so good... Tsk, this peach forest is really ten thousand miles in radius? Which extravagant person was so generous to plant such a large peach forest back then?"
Lexi also leaned half of his body out of the car window and looked around curiously.
Lu Yu smiled calmly: "In the middle of this peach forest, there is a peach mountain, and on the mountain there is a huge ancient tree... here..."
Lu Yu looked at Lu Yu: "Anything to say?"
Lu Yu waved his hand: "There are indeed some theories, but it is useless for me to say them here. You will know when you meet that person."
Lu Yi laughed.
Lu Yu is still keeping you in suspense...Okay, I'll just play with you.
Lu Yu saw that Lu Yu came to Yincheng with evil intentions and was here specifically to cause trouble.
Otherwise, if he really wanted to rise to prominence in Xinyin, why not go to Le Huan or even Le Shui? Wouldn't it be cheaper than going to Le Xi, the second prince who was neither up to the sky nor down to the earth?
He chose to find Lexi, who is a person with no support from anyone. It is obvious that Lu Yu wants to make trouble!
We walked along the forest road for about a hundred miles.
The spirit of heaven and earth has been restored, and many mounts with the blood of exotic beasts in the world are gradually returning to their ancestral blood. Especially the nobles, aristocratic families, and clans, the mounts in their hands are the best of the best.
Just like the tall horse under Lu Yi's seat, its four thighs were covered with evenly spaced hair whorls, and there was a breeze blowing around it when it walked, clearly indicating that its bloodline had reverted to its ancestral form to a certain degree.
The mounts of the other personal guards, as well as the four white horses pulling the carriage, all looked the same.
Therefore, the group moved very quickly.
It was more than a hundred miles, or less than half an hour, and they had arrived at the destination.
Here, there is a peach tree that is out of season. It has no peaches, but is full of palm-sized purple peach blossoms. There are also bees and butterflies busy around the peach blossoms. The autumn sky is bright and the forest is quite warm, a beautiful scene in March.
Under a huge peach tree that was more than ten feet tall, an old cow was lying on the ground.
Next to the old cow, there was a slightly tattered felt blanket.
An old man with little hair left, only a small bun on the top of his head, a ruddy complexion and a tall stature, was sitting cross-legged on a felt mat, holding a scroll in his hands, and teaching an article to a dozen young people in front of him.
The old man was only wearing a coarse robe that was covered with patches and had an open chest, revealing muscle lines that did not match his age .
Those young men were also dressed in cloth, with crudely made black iron swords placed beside them, just like the iron sword that Lu Yu carried with him when he went to the gate of the imperial city to post the recruitment notice.
The old man has a ruddy face, red lips and white teeth, and his eyes are as clear and pure as a child's. His eyes are full of curiosity about everything, and they are as smart as two black beads rolling on an ice plate.
Lu Yu jumped off his mount and smiled at Lu Yi: "We're here."
Lu Yi also jumped off his horse.
He looked at the old man sitting under the peach tree, with peach petals constantly falling on his body - the old man looked very familiar!
If he had more hair, longer beard and thinner body, he would look exactly like Lu Buyai, the Grand Historian who squatted in the Fuyao Palace in Haojing all year round, using a pen and a piece of paper to record gossip about civil and military officials in the court, and whom almost no one in the world dared to provoke.
So, this old man is the one?
Bai Changkong, the former deputy president of the Imperial College, had always been obsessed with the position of president of the Imperial College over the years until his death!
The man with a special status and special means made it difficult for cultural and educational leaders like Zhu Chong to take action, and they dared not promise to let Bai Changkong take the position of the president of Dayin Imperial College, Lu Qingyang!
A man who has been wandering outside all year round, calling it " study tour", but in fact no one knows what weird things he is doing, Lu Qingyang!
Decades ago, at an academic debate conference in the Imperial College, he had an argument with his opponent and was so angry that he picked up a ruler as a sword and knocked down hundreds of professors and doctors of the Imperial College by himself. He also knocked down thousands of guards who came to suppress him in the street with one sword.
Lu Qingyang was a man who had studied the works of various philosophers in depth and was considered the most knowledgeable person in the country. He made many cultural and educational leaders furious, but they could do nothing about him.
Oh, right.
As Lu Fu's status in Haojing continued to rise, as his power grew, and as he was able to access more and more information, his understanding of Lu Qingyang also continued to deepen.
This was an old heretic who had studied the various schools of thought in depth, but he denounced the ancestors of many aristocratic families, including the six saints, nineteen sages, and sixty-three great men, saying that those "saints", "sub-saints", "great sages", "wise men", etc. were all "literary thieves", causing his followers of the various schools of thought to almost riot.
Well, according to the top-secret files of the Guardian.
This old man travels all year round. His main job is not to 'study abroad' but... 'digging graves'!
Throughout the dynasties, in the many dynasties before Dayin, the ancestral tombs of those noble families... The old gentleman had an extremely strong, almost crazy interest in these ancient tombs.
That’s right, it should be this old gentleman!
Lu Yu remembered the two black donkey hooves hanging around his waist when Lu Yu ran to the gate of the imperial city of Yincheng and posted the recruitment notice!
Is that something used to suppress evil spirits when digging graves?
"Very professional!" Lu Yu cursed in his heart - so, Lu Yu abandoned Lu Yu and ran away without a trace. There was no news for ten years, so that the Lu family thought he died outside...
Did he follow Lu Qingyang to dig up people's ancestral graves?
Lu Yi's fingers felt a little hot and twitching, and he really wanted to clench his fists and do something to Lu Qingyang.
Those years...
Lu Yi smacked his lips. During those years, in the back street of Tian'en Marquis Mansion, in that small courtyard, Lu Yi's daily life... Never mind, let's not talk about it.
If Lu Yi didn't have some supernatural powers, any other six-year-old child would have died long ago after being played like this by Lu Yu, right?
My hands itch, what should I do?
Le Xi walked out of the carriage slowly. He looked at Lu Yu, and then looked at Lu Qingyang, who was sitting under the big peach tree, with an immortal look and elegant temperament.
Lu Qingyang held the book in his hand, and spoke softly about the article as if he did not see Lu Yu, Lu Yi, Le Xi and the others.
What he was talking about was the art of war.
The definition of the so-called "youthful spirit" and "old age spirit", and how to use "youthful spirit" and "old age spirit" to defeat the enemy when marching and fighting.
It has to be said that Lu Qingyang's talent is truly at the top level in Dayin.
Lu Yi had also read some military books and had his own understanding of some military tactics. But standing here, listening to Lu Qingyang's casual comments, Lu Yi felt that his mind suddenly became clear, and it seemed that he had a new understanding of the application of some military tactics.
Lu Yi looked at Lu Yu.
No wonder he was able to fool civil and military officials in the imperial city, including cultural and educational leaders such as Zhu Chong, and directly get the position of Grand Marshal.
Lu Yi maliciously criticized his own father: "I originally thought that you relied on this face to charm the Queen Mother... no, the new Emperor Yin... I didn't expect it! You actually did it with your own talent."
Lu Yu, along with Lu Yi and Le Xi, walked slowly to the big peach tree.
The personal guards naturally stopped far away, standing on tiptoe to watch what was happening here.
"Master. The Second Prince Lexi has arrived." Lu Yu bowed to Lu Qingyang.
"Oh!" Lu Qingyang stopped teaching, looked up, and put the book in his hand aside.
He glanced at Le Xi, who then lay on the ground in a very bachelor-like manner: "Le Xi, the Second Crown Prince of Xinyin, greets the Master... Please teach me, please save me."
Lu Qingyang laughed, and with a little force, he hit Le Xi on the head with the scroll in his hand.
"Needless to say, I want to teach you and save you. Otherwise, why would I send my disciples to Yincheng? I have never done anything that wastes my energy in my life."
After coughing lightly, Lu Qingyang said calmly: "Get up, sit down, and listen to me."
Le Xi quickly stood up and sat down next to Lu Qingyang respectfully.
In fact, after hearing Lu Yu's words and feeling restless all night, seeing Lu Qingyang's unrestrained and unrestrained demeanor, and in the atmosphere created by the big peach tree, Le Xi, who didn't have much brain, was immersed in some strange state.
He almost wanted to treat Lu Qingyang as a sacred immortal.
"The Second Prince is blessed. Logically speaking, he should have a lifetime of blessings, hundreds of children and grandchildren, and live a life of wealth and prosperity without worries. This is the blessing brought by the Second Prince in his previous life."
"Hua La La", a long wind blew through the peach forest.
The sky was filled with purple-red peach petals flying around, creating an extremely down-to-earth atmosphere for Lu Qingyang's words.
"Previous life?" Le Xi looked at Lu Qingyang in shock: "Master, can you know my previous life?"
Lu Qingyang smiled coldly: "It's just a trifle, don't take it to heart... In short, according to fate, the second prince should have a worry-free life and live in wealth and honor until old age."
Lexi swallowed.
Lu Qingyang said coldly: "But... there is a demon at work, and the Second Prince's blessings and luck have been devoured by the demon... Therefore, the Second Prince will suffer the disaster of being tortured to death, having his family destroyed, and even more, his soul will be scattered and he will never be able to escape from the suffering!"
As he said this, a pure and upright aura of black and white slowly rose from Lu Qingyang's body, and a strange scene of the creation of the world and the birth of mountains and rivers appeared above his head.
Lu Yi opened his eyes wide and stared at Lu Qingyang.
This level of cultivation... is terrifying!
Lexi's face turned pale, and he fell to the ground with a bang.
"Master, help me!"
