When Ji Yuan walked over now, the big pier in the distance was not yet fully visible. It was a little less noisy and a little quieter, but compared to the interior of Chunhui Mansion where most places had turned off the lights and rested, it was still considered a place. It was a rare sight with bright lights, to some extent similar to some street market nights in Jiyuan’s previous life.
At this moment, Ji Yuan and Chi Hu are located on the river section outside the south of the city. They go east along the river bank. To get to the big dock, they actually have to walk all the way to the southeast corner of the city and head north, passing by the Jiang Shen Temple and passing through most of the east wall of the city. It’s not a short journey.
So Hu Yun was actually a little unsure whether Mr. Ji just wanted to take a walk or whether he wanted to go to the big pier. But since Mr. Ji didn’t speak, he didn’t dare to ask and just followed quietly.
Although Mr. Ji was not angry today, he put a lot of pressure on Hu Yun, perhaps more due to his own psychology.
The breeze from the river made Ji Yuan’s clothes flutter slightly, and his long hair fluttered in the wind. The Jiang Shen Temple was already in front of him, but at this time, the temple was closed at night and the lights were turned off. The few lights were just oil lamps inside the temple. .
“Hu Yun, do you know where is ahead?”
Mr. Ji finally spoke. Red Fox felt relieved and looked forward naturally. It was the large Jiang Shen Temple. Although he had never been there, Hu Yun also knew this place. The boatman has been talking about it for several days.
“That’s the Chunmujiang Shrine, right? The boatman said that this temple is the first Chunmujiang shrine.”
“Yeah.”
Ji Yuan kept walking, nodded and continued.
“Today’s Chun Mujiang Zhengshen is just a white dragon who has been practicing for many years. In terms of magic power, Taoism, deeds and supernatural powers, he is many times more powerful than you, a fox. Is such a person famous?”
Hu Yun answered subconsciously.
“Scenery!”
“Yes, it is very beautiful, but no one in this world can live forever, and no one can jump out of the yin and yang and the five elements. It is difficult for such a beautiful **** to practice. In order to transform into a real dragon, the white dragon failed twice. , suffering from the pain of falling off scales and armor.”
Ji Yuan said while walking here and looking sideways at Red Fox.
“Do you know what the pain of falling scales is for dragons?”
Ji Yuan continued without waiting for Hu Yun to answer.
“It’s almost like pulling out a fingernail yourself and leaving your soul attached!”
The fallen scales here are not ordinary injuries or the old scales can be replaced with new ones. Once they fall off, the scales will be lost and will never grow back.
The red fox shrank his neck and tightened his paws. In the past, he accidentally grabbed hard objects too much and broke his nails, which would cause pain for a long time. He didn’t want to try to pull them out as uncomfortable as it was. I can’t even think about how painful it is.
Hu Yun understood what Mr. Ji meant. He said that practice is not easy and practice is difficult. He might not have been able to listen to it before. Although he still lacks personal experience now, he at least knows how to remember it firmly.
“Let’s go to the pier for a midnight snack. If there is a roast chicken, I will reward you with one today!”
Ji Yuan smiled and soothed the fox’s tense nerves tonight. When the latter heard about the roast chicken, the fox’s face immediately couldn’t help but smile, and the amount of saliva secreted increased sharply.
Although the large dock outside Chunhye Prefecture is inferior to the large freight dock in Gyeonggi Prefecture in terms of scale and cargo throughput, its colorful nightlife at the port is still extremely famous throughout Daezhen.
Especially among a group of literati and poets, there is also a good name called “Huagang”. Gradually, the name of Huagang has also spread among the people in the market. Nowadays, although ordinary people are still accustomed to calling it “City” Dongda Wharf, but everyone knows about Huagang.
The busiest time on the large pier in the east of the city is often some time before sunset. The dock workers who can load and unload cargo are still busy, and some people who come to swim on the river also start to board the boat to paint the boat. People who came also left the city one after another.
The best time to make a living here has naturally passed. Many of the rowboats and dance boats have left the shore, but there are also large boats operating on the shore that are still welcoming guests.
Ji Yuan took Hu Yun to a small wine shop and ordered some food there as a late night snack.
Although there are not many dishes in the restaurant, you can actually order most dishes, because the bartender will go to some nearby shops to help you order and deliver them, and pay the bill to the restaurant when you check out, which is obviously a kind of A mature cooperation model.
While Ji Yuan and Hu Yun were enjoying late-night snacks and wine at the dock, Yin Qing was tossing and turning in Huiyuan Academy, feeling a little uneasy in her heart.
This is the first time I have traveled far away. I will have to live in this strange environment forever. None of my acquaintances and friends from my hometown are around. Mr. Ji and the little fox are also going back to Ning’an County.
Through the moonlight shining through the window, you can roughly see the situation in the room. There are four people living here, and the other three are sleeping with even breathing. It is a good start that no one is snoring.
‘Hey, Mr. Ji and the others should have fallen asleep a long time ago. I don’t think about it any more, so I have to fall asleep quickly. ’
With this thought in mind, Yin Qing closed her eyes, breathed slowly, relaxed her body, and fell asleep in less than a cup of tea.
Yin Qing was obviously the last one to fall asleep, but it was Yin Qing who woke up first in the morning. A short while after getting up from the bed, getting dressed and going out, the bell of the academy itself rang, and everyone else started to feel sleepy.
When Yin Qing came back, she happened to see three roommates arranging their clothes.
“Morning!”
“Oh morning!” “Morning!”
“I just got up and went out. I brought a pot of hot tea from the kitchen. Let’s drink some to moisten our throats. This morning’s meal includes thin pork buns. I have already made an order in advance. We will go over there. You can eat as long as you are in the cage.”
Yin Qing raised the teapot in his hand and finished speaking a series of words. The other three people in the room couldn’t help but smile. This new roommate is so kind and polite. He really deserves to be the son of Mr. Yin.
Yin Qing’s way of dealing with people was deeply influenced by Yin Zhaoxian and Ji Yuan. He easily won the favor of other scholars and teachers in the academy. In addition, he was also diligent and energetic, and he quickly integrated into the new environment of Huiyuan Academy. After four or five days, Yin Qing had gotten to know all the students at Huiyuan Book Club, and naturally became closer to each other and had a harmonious relationship with each other
This day is August 20th, which is already the holiday of Huiyuan Academy. The scholars of the academy are getting ready to go out early.
In the scholar’s room at No. 6, Yin Qing sat beside the bed and sorted out basic books. The top one was his father’s masterpiece “The Meaning of Knowledge”.
At this moment, two roommates would run into the house after washing up. A scholar named Lei Yusheng rushed towards Yin Qing and another person in the house excitedly.
“Yin Qing, Xinjie, when we came back we saw that many people over there wanted to go to Gongyuan to have a look. Do you want to go?”
“Yes, yes, autumn is coming soon. There are many celebrities from Jizhou coming near Gongyuan. We will also go there to take part in the interpretation test in the future, shall we go and have a look?”
“Okay, okay, let’s try the Gongshi meal today too!”
Lin Xinjie in the room immediately seconded the proposal.
But Yin Qing scratched his head and refused.
“It sounds very interesting, but I have something to do today, so I won’t be with you.”
“Ah? What’s going on? Do you want our help?”
Yin Qing smiled and shook her head.
“No, no, no, it’s just a small matter, you go ahead, I will definitely ask you for help if needed.”
After politely declining, more than two hundred scholars from Huiyuan Academy left the academy with their respective goals in mind. Some went to Gongyuan, some met to enjoy the scenery, some went directly to restaurants, and some walked towards the city. Head east to Huagang.
Yin Qing walked alone in the south direction of the city, walked through the busy streets and alleys, stepped out of the city gate and headed towards the sloping southwest river section.
In the middle of the journey, Yin Qing frowned and looked around. There were always tourists in twos and threes, and some people were flying kites nearby. There were also many small boats rippling along the river.
‘So many people…’
With a slight worry, I walked for a long time and finally saw the willows across the river. Ji Yuan was sitting on one of the willow trees, while Hu Yun was lying at the root of the tree on the bank. The former was holding a He was holding a fishing rod, and there were people watching him not far from the shore.
Yin Qing walked forward quickly holding the book and said hello to Ji Yuan nearby.
“Good morning, Mr. Ji!”
While speaking, Yin Qing winked at Hu Yun.
“Here you come? Just sit on the shore. Don’t worry about the people around you. You can read your book. You can read whatever you want. You can read as much as you think is interesting.”
Yin Qing looked around, then looked at the river surface on the shore. There was a faint cyan flow beside a huge black rock deep under the water. It would be difficult to find anything if you didn’t look very carefully, and she thought After seeing Hu Yun, this guy can avoid the eyes and ears of ordinary people.

Yin Qing put down the book first, moved a stone of suitable size, shook off the back of his clothes, and sat on the stone. Then he took out the book Zhiyi to see what Ji Yuan didn’t say. Bian then cleared his throat and spoke.
“Scholars should observe etiquette, understand propriety, understand reason and understand righteousness, which is the consensus of the world. However, it is not clear at first what etiquette and righteousness are, and how a person with integrity should be impartial…”
The old turtle with closed eyes under the water slowly opened his eyes a little. The scholar’s reading was a little different from ordinary recitation. It seemed that every sentence had its own emotion, as if he was also seeking answers along with the book instead of simply reading the content. , it is easy to take in the emotions of the observers.
The person who felt this appeal the most was actually Du Heng, the original broken-arm swordsman, and now Lao Gui also feels it a little bit.
The old turtle couldn’t help but look up at the shore. Through the blurred water waves, he could vaguely see Yin Qing’s face that was undulated by the current.
Looking at it like this, there is no vague feeling at all. The aura of the whole body is extremely clear and clear. Seeing the body is like seeing the mind, as if the auras are intertwined and crystal clear.
