Chapter 259 Discussion

When Li Guanxuan was outside the Book Mountain, Little Orange had already sensed it.

It ran out happily, fearing that Li Guanxuan would pass by the Book Mountain in the next second.

When Li Guanxuan came to the gate of Wuhui Academy, he could clearly feel that the concentration of spiritual energy here was higher than other places.

In addition, perhaps because Wuhui Academy is a holy place for many scholars, the talent and literary meaning here are quite strong, and talented scholars and beautiful women dressed elegantly can be seen everywhere.

"Mr. Li, welcome."

At this time, Qiu Li, a girl wearing a plum blossom dress and a pair of dimples when she smiled, appeared in front of Li Guanxuan out of thin air.

She was still as cute as a fairy, and her pure temperament was mixed with a hint of charm that made people want, which was extremely easy to make people fall in love with.

Li Guanxuan was stunned for a moment: "Miss Qiu Li? How did you know I would come here?"

"The old dean asked me to come and pick you up." Qiu Li smiled, greeted Li Guanxuan, and then greeted Song Zhiqiao and Li Zhong.

Especially when facing Li Zhong, Qiu Li's clear eyes hid a trace of fear.

A great eunuch like Li Zhong, whether inside or outside the court, is feared and terrified.

Hearing Qiu Li's words, Li Guanxuan's heart was obviously heavy.

Li Zhong seemed to have sensed something, stepped forward and bowed, lowering his voice and said: "Don't worry, young master, although this old thing pretends to be confused, he is smarter than anyone else in some things. With this old slave by your side, he will not do anything to you, nor dare to, and cannot do anything to you."

Li Zhong understands Li Guanxuan's character, and his young master is more stable than anyone else.

More than ten years ago, he said that he would come to Wuhui Academy to find Benru to cultivate his mind, but he dragged it for many years and arranged many ways to retreat.

In terms of stability, I'm afraid no one in the world can compare to him.

"Okay."

Li Guanxuan nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Please lead the way, Miss Qiu."

"Thank you for troubling Fellow Daoist Qiu. Fellow Daoist Qiu is really kind and beautiful. He can take time out of his busy schedule to receive us." Song Zhiqiao smiled.

Li Guanxuan heard the hidden meaning of Xiaolucha's words.

Qiu Li was a great perfection of the Golden Core more than ten years ago, and she is still a great perfection of the Golden Core now.

Logically speaking, Qiu Li had met the Sage of Painting and studied with the Sage of Confucianism. She should have had the opportunity to impact the Nascent Soul long ago. Why hasn't she made a breakthrough yet?

Maybe he is in trouble and needs help.

Li Guanxuan fell into deep thought. Although he is now a great perfection of the Golden Core, he has added a layer of shielding from the secrets of heaven, so outsiders can only sense that he is a late Golden Core cultivator.

What does Qiu Li, who is a great perfection of the Golden Core, need him to help?

Qiu Li has only met him twice.

Once was on the bank of the Mo River, and once was in the Su Mansion.

Could it be a curse of evil spirit?

After all, Qiu Li could guess more or less that he helped the painting saint Su Daofu solve the curse of Mozhou.

Li Guanxuan was a little confused. Could it be that the curse of Daliang also appeared?

"No, no, now I am a student of Wuhui Academy, and I should share the worries of the old dean."

Qiu Li smiled and said, "And in Wuhui Academy, I am the only one who knows you two, so I should be the one to greet you."

"Who said that? We also know... monkeys in Wuhui Academy."

Song Zhiqiao said with a smile, and then saw Xiaojuzi who turned into golden light and escaped, and subconsciously reached out to hug the fat monkey.

But unexpectedly...

"Li Guanxuan, you come to save me?!"

Xiaojuzi climbed onto Li Guanxuan's shoulder with ease, and stretched his round head to explore, with a happy smile on his face, and his left gold and right blue eyes were bent with laughter.

Song Zhiqiao's face darkened: "Well, if I had known, I wouldn't have come."

The little orange was stunned, but it was quite smart. It immediately jumped onto Song Zhiqiao's hand and rubbed her hand with its big head.

"I didn't notice, hehe... I didn't notice."

The little orange apologized with a smile, then looked at Li Zhong again, very happy: "Li Guanxuan, you really brought people to save me!"

The bronze sword furnace also flew over at this moment, and shrank silently, hanging on Song Zhiqiao's waist, acting as a pendant.

It knew very well that if it wanted freedom, it had to be a small ornament.

Otherwise, it would never be able to leave Wuhui Academy.

"Don't talk about saving, saving, saving, it's nonsense. You just came to Wuhui Academy to study for more than ten years. After finishing your studies, you will naturally go home." Li Guanxuan laughed.

"Ah, right, right, right..."

The little orange immediately reacted and nodded his big head busy.

Qiu Li looked at the warm scene in front of her and felt a little envious. She could see that Li Guanxuan really treated Xiaojuzi as a family member.

In addition, Li Zhong, the eunuch who was always ruthless and cold-blooded, showed a kind and gentle smile for the first time.

...

Soon, when Xiaojuzi heard that Li Guanxuan was going to find the old dean, he suddenly became sad.

It really didn't want to go to the bamboo forest.

But it could only listen to Li Guanxuan and lead the way obediently.

Along the way, Xiaojuzi talked about his miserable experiences over the years.

"I really don't like studying, and I don't like staying in Wuhui Academy at all."

"Especially that Master Yan, he stares at me all day long. As long as I see him, he grabs me to study!"

"There are many other masters, they are all so annoying..."

"..."

Li Guanxuan also listened all the way, smiled and rubbed its big head, and said: "It's okay. If you have a chance in the future, you can catch them and practice martial arts."

"Li Zhong can beat them, let Li Zhong catch them to box and practice martial arts!" Xiao Juzi immediately came up with an idea.

Li Zhongze asked from behind: "Master, I have written down the names of these masters, do you want to..."

Li Guanxuan waved his hand and interrupted: "Be calm, we are here to do business."

"Old slave understands."

Li Zhong immediately pretended that nothing happened.

Little Orange scratched his head and ears, feeling uncomfortable all over.

No one was angry about it.

Stepping into a bamboo forest, Li Guanxuan felt the changes in the world around him. In an instant, he saw a bamboo house. Even the pavilion was made of bamboo, highlighting an indifferent and elegant atmosphere.

An old man in commoner clothes was sitting in the pavilion playing chess with a warm smile on his face. His smiling eyes were crooked, and his eyes could not be seen, only two gaps could be seen.

The old man turned around and looked.

When Li Guanxuan met this gaze, his mind seemed to be hit, and his soul became clear, and all the troubles and frustrations disappeared instantly.

He was helping to cleanse my mind, and he was helping me invisibly... Li Guanxuan was secretly surprised.

Now, he may have enough confidence to face the inner demon calamity.

What kind of powerful person is the Confucian sage?

Just one look did him a lot of good.

"Have friends come from afar."

The old man chuckled.

The next second, Li Guanxuan and others appeared in the pavilion.

The old man stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Everyone, please take a seat."

Li Guanxuan, Song Zhiqiao, and Qiu Li all sat on the futon.

Li Zhong bowed slightly and stood beside Li Guanxuan, staring at the old man with cold eyes.

The little orange climbed up to the pavilion and hung dangling on it, but did not listen to the old man's words and sit down.

Both the man and the monkey were full of resentment towards the old man.

"It doesn't matter if you don't sit down."

The old man relieved himself of the embarrassment, looked at Li Guanxuan, and said with a smile: "You and I can talk about it?"

"I'll admit defeat." Li Guanxuan said without hesitation.

The old man sighed softly: "We haven't even started yet, why are we giving up?"

"I have always been self-aware. If I knew I was going to lose, I would naturally admit defeat." Li Guanxuan said with a smile.

"It seems that my friend is still as stable as ever."

The old man said with a smile, and then added: "If you don't want to talk, let's make a pot of tea. I happen to be a little thirsty."

"no problem."

Li Guanxuan agreed and said with a smile: "My wife Song Zhiqiao has quite a lot of experience in tea art. Sir, you might as well try it and make some suggestions so that she can improve her tea art."

The old man smiled and said, "I want to drink the tea you brewed."

Li Zhong frowned and said, "Old man, do you believe that I demolished your bamboo garden?"

The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Qiu Li, who had never said a word, was sitting on pins and needles, looking at the two bosses, panicked.

"Why get angry? I just want to have a cup of tea." The old man said helplessly.

"You want to drink tea, right?"

Li Zhong waved his hand, and the tea leaves fell into the cup. Boiling water fell from the sky, boiling the tea leaves in an instant, and the cup floated in front of the old man.

Li Zhong said coldly: "The tea is ready, drink it."

Li Guanxuan said: "Li Zhong, don't be rude."

Hearing this, Li Zhong took a deep breath, bowed and said, "I know I was wrong."

Afterwards, Li Guanxuan reached out to take back the scalding cup. Regardless of whether the high temperature was scalding to his hands, he put it aside first, and then slowly began to scald the pot and place the tea... The movements were slow and not a very pleasing tea art.

"Li Zhong has a lot of complaints against the old man, so his attitude is not very good. I hope the old man will not blame you. I will apologize to you for him." Li Guanxuan apologized for Li Zhong.

"It's okay, I understand. I have never blamed him." The old man smiled, his eyes always watching Li Guanxuan's movements, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Li Guanxuan seemed to have noticed the old man's gaze, and said with an embarrassed smile: "At home, the housewife often makes tea. I just watched it for a long time and learned some superficial skills, but I will try my best to make tea." Make it well so as not to disturb the old gentleman’s enjoyment.”

"As long as the tea you brew is delicious, it will taste good." The old man said with a smile.

Li Guanxuan was slightly startled and looked up at the old man.

What does the Confucian sage mean by this sentence?

Does he think so highly of himself?

At this time, the old man waved his hand and said, "Qiu Li, please go out for a while."

As soon as the words fell, Qiu Li disappeared from the spot before she could speak.

Li Guanxuan secretly sighed, the Confucian cultivator's ability to follow the rules is really amazing.

"Brother, there was too much water..." Song Zhiqiao reminded in a low voice.

"oh oh……"

Li Guanxuan looked embarrassed.

But a harmless smile appeared on the old man's face.

After the tea was brewed, the old man couldn't wait to take the hot tea and sip it carefully.

"good."

The old man looked pleased and smiled broadly.

Li Guanxuan himself took a sip and shook his head helplessly.

Compared with Song Zhiqiao, his tea is slightly bitter and the tea aroma is relatively weak. It is a waste of the fine tea of ​​the Confucian sage.

Song Zhiqiao took a sip, smiled and made no comment.

"You should try it too, so as not to waste it." Li Guanxuan picked up a cup of tea and handed it to Li Zhong.

Li Zhong quickly took it with both hands. After tasting the tea, he praised: "This is the best tea I have ever drunk."

"???"

Three question marks seemed to float above Li Guanxuan's head, as if to say: Is it necessary to brag so much?

This is too flattering!

After the old man finished drinking the tea, he smiled and said, "Qiu Li came to you to ask you to help solve the curse of the Daliang Emperor. Your power can purify all the negative influences in the world, and only you can solve the curse of the Daliang Emperor."

Hearing the old man get straight to the point, Li Guanxuan's face became much more serious and asked, "Do I need help?"

"It depends on you to weigh it yourself."

The old man pushed the teacup over and motioned for another cup. "Whether to help or not depends on you, not me. Only when you walk the road yourself, you will know how to walk."

"I'm taught you."

Li Guanxuan nodded slightly.

He knew very well that the old man was pointing him out.

That was the fact.

If he needed help or guidance from others for everything, then he would not be walking on his own path to becoming an immortal, but others would be helping him walk.

In this way, no matter how great his opportunities and luck were, he would not be able to pass the level of the inner demon tribulation.

Li Guanxuan's cultivation and physique are very strong, and his state of mind is also perfect, but he knows best in his heart that if he encounters the heart demon calamity, he will definitely die.

This is a kind of premonition in the dark. With this premonition, he will not be able to impact the Nascent Soul and seek death.

Before, when he didn't have to rely on others, he was tough inside, steadily rising, and felt that he would definitely be able to break through.

Now that he has reliance, although his state of mind is perfect, he no longer has the confidence he had before in breaking through the realm and encountering calamities.

Only when you walk the road yourself, you will know how to go... Li Guanxuan sighed in his heart. Recently, when he encountered things, he always thought about asking others for help, but he became slack and lazy.

He completely lost the fighting spirit he had before.

Losing fighting spirit means that it is difficult to be promoted and you will always be standing still.

This is an extremely terrifying thing.

After Li Guanxuan had some insights, he suddenly became clear.

He understood how he should go next.

He can continue to develop, but when facing something that he should fight for, he must make all arrangements and back-up plans to fight for it, rather than fighting for nothing.

He has no shortage of resources, and now all he needs is luck.

"Old gentleman and His Majesty are helping me so much, what do you want me to do?" Li Guanxuan asked.

"Protect the country."

The old man said frankly: "Everything I do is nothing more than to make Daheng stronger and immortal, to make Dongsheng Shenzhou unified again, to make the people live and work in peace and contentment, and to make all cultivators promoted."

"It's not to save the world?" Li Guanxuan said in surprise.

"If Daheng is gone, what's the use of this world?" The old man smiled.

Li Guanxuan also smiled.

The Confucian sage had the same idea as him.

If the world is really going to collapse, let it collapse.

He has no strength, does not struggle, and everything goes with fate.
