Main text Chapter 870: Humans and ghosts have different paths, officials sue officials



As soon as I got this calligraphy, the artistic conception between the lines changed a little. The complicated strokes of the word "prison" were like fences, surrounding a prison, and three figures could be seen struggling, ups and downs in it.

Looking at the three figures, Qiu Yan said slowly: "People's hearts are unpredictable and can change suddenly. These three people are not sincere in their work and have different intentions. Under severe torture, their will will be stimulated and they will become tight-lipped. But if you are in a fantasy world and your heart's desire is satisfied, you will reveal the matter."

Xi Muyuan was slightly surprised when he heard this: "So, Brother Qiu used the same method to deal with the captured Hu chieftains on the grassland before. He put them under house arrest and allowed them to experience the prosperity of the Central Plains and relax their vigilance. Now he uses the magical power in the word, It is possible to accelerate this speed, but Xi is still puzzled. Why can Brother Qiu use the Xingjing Dragon Qi to suppress the power, and the performance of these three people before was beyond the level of ordinary people. "

"It is true that Xingjing can suppress magical powers, but suppression is not erasure. The skills that have been cultivated with painstaking efforts will not be completely annihilated. The external manifestation is that the power of magical powers is rapidly weakening, and the scope of magical powers will also be greatly reduced. Many practitioners have achieved success The monks who behaved in this environment were just like the masters of martial arts in the world. Most of their magical powers can only be used on themselves, just like these three people..."

As he spoke, Qiu Yan pointed at the three people lying on the ground.

"Whether it is the bronze arm, extreme speed, or even the cold light in the sky, the range is very small, so it can be used. However, if there is no dragon energy to suppress it, the power of these techniques will be improved by several steps. As for Qiu's calligraphy, It is no longer limited to the level of magical powers..."

While Qiu Yan was talking, there was a babbling sound coming from the side. It turned out to be a baby ginseng flying in the air on a beast, coming to Qiu Yan's side and circling around.

"Ginseng Bao. Thank you for catching the thief. You have done well. You will be rewarded later." Qiu Yan first praised the ginseng baby, and then looked around at everything around him.

The ginseng baby trembled all over, and then emitted mood swings of enjoyment, transcendence, and comfort.

The emotional fluctuations changed and gradually expanded, rippling in the void, causing something behind Qiu Yan to manifest——

It is a web of nothingness, with threads entangled and thoughts flowing. It coincides with Qiu Yan's body and is also connected with the calligraphy in his hand.

As the net became clearer, Xi Muyuan's ghost showed a little surprise. He clearly felt that in the net, there was a breath of literary thoughts flowing rapidly. This literary thought was rotating in Qiu Yan's body and in the calligraphy in his hand. , does not stop, but brings about a strange change of artistic conception. It was as if countless scholars were reciting softly, and there was even a bit of dragon energy floating over, blessing Qiu Yan and the calligraphy.

"This...could it be the humanistic network that Brother Qiu mentioned before?" After being surprised, Xi Muyuan gathered his thoughts. Looking back on the past, I immediately understood the origin of this website.

Qiu Yan nodded and said: "Yes, this network is a humanistic network, which can be used to express literary thoughts. Leave the seeds of scriptures and meanings, and in the future, people who are interested in learning may be able to access it in the entire continent."

Xi Muyuan heard this. Looking forward to the future, he couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Qiu's ambition is really surprising. If this idea comes true, earth-shaking changes will definitely happen in the academy!"

Qiu Yan smiled and said nothing, but he knew very well that if the humanistic network was successfully established and combined with the humanistic network in the Blood Hell Land, the changes would not be limited to the academy and the scholarly community, but would be It will bring about a series of earth-shaking changes to the entire world of humanity, and it is impossible to even repeat the information explosion in his previous life.

It's just that these are only in his mind, and there is no need to say them out to prevent the entanglement of cause and effect and subsequent troubles. In fact, the connection he can barely establish now is already showing signs of disaster.

While Qiu Yan was thinking about it, Xi Muyuan sighed and said, "It's a pity that Xi is a dead man. I'm afraid he won't be able to make it by that time."

Qiu Yan heard this, pondered for a moment, and then said: "It doesn't matter. Now the humanistic network is not completely stable, and the literary thoughts in it change from time to time. It's not good for Brother Xi to integrate your thoughts into it to prevent the changes of literary thoughts in the network. Sometimes, it disturbs your sanity, but once the network is stable, there will be no more taboos. Then ghosts will be able to connect to the network and pass on wisdom and knowledge. "

Xi Muyuan couldn't help but be surprised: "Can even the Netherworld be connected to this network?"

Qiu Yan shook his head and said: "That's not true. It just allows the thoughts of ghosts to be integrated into the network. If we want to extend this humanistic network to the underworld, there are still many problems."

"So that's it," Xi Muyuan looked regretful when he heard this, and then smiled with relief, "It seems that Xi will never have this opportunity in this life..." Seeing Qiu Yan's doubtful expression, he continued, " To be honest, Brother Qiu, after these days of enlightenment, Xi has gained some insights, but people and ghosts have different paths, which is not the right path after all. If you want to carry forward your insights, you still need to have a human body, so I am thinking about when to ask Brother Qiu, you Farewell."

Qiu Yan heard the signs and asked, "Brother Xi wants to enter the underworld?"

Xi Muyuan nodded and said: "Yes, although ghosts can always accompany the world and learn, they have limitations after all. They still have to reincarnate for one life. If there is another fate in the future, I hope Brother Qiu can help him in the next life."

There was an aura of sadness as soon as he said this, but Xi Muyuan obviously didn't want this aura to spread, so he kept a smile on his face and kept his tone normal.

Qiu Yan was silent for a moment, knowing that although Xi Muyuan maintained his spiritual intelligence, he was trapped in the ghost body, unable to advance as a Confucian, and unable to retreat as a teacher. He indeed had many worries. If he were in this situation, he would not be able to feel at ease.

After thinking about it, he nodded: "Since Brother Xi has already made a decision, how can Qiu stop it? But please stay for a few days. Qiu just has some ideas, which may be able to help Brother Xi when you are reincarnated. In addition, I’ll also ask you about the prisoner’s affairs.”

Xi Muyuan also nodded.

During the conversation between one person and one ghost, servants came over, but it was Qiu Yan who had just sent a message and asked them to lift the three unconscious people and deliver them to Jing Zhaoyin, and stated that these three people were under the orders of the palace guard Wu Tuo. .

As soon as this incident came out, Jing Zhaoyin was immediately helpless, and the officials with a keen sense of smell also realized that sending these three people from the Qiu Mansion would probably cause quite a stir!

After the case was filed, summons was inevitable. In just two days, many people were affected, and Qiu Yan was also summoned twice.

However, Qiu Yan had three official positions and was ranked in the fifth rank, while Jing Zhaoyin was in the fourth rank. The difference was not small, and it was also a position of real power. However, Qiu Yan was valued by the emperor, so he was quite polite in both summonses.

At first, the three people who broke into Qiu Yan's house were unconscious and could not be tortured. Jing Zhaoyin considered that the matter involved a lot and wanted to make it a big deal. However, the three people woke up soon and confessed. As soon as this happened, Jing Zhaoyin had no choice. With Qiu Yan urging him to do everything, he could only do things according to the rules. He deliberately tried some tricks, thinking that he could get through, but Qiu Yan saw through them directly. In the end.

Not only Wu Tuo, who had just resigned, was involved, but even Tian Youqing could not escape. When the court went to court today, Qiu Yan and Tian Youqing had a very unhappy confrontation with Bo.

"Then Academician Qiu is too incompetent to be an official. How can he insist on getting to the bottom of it for no reason? He has no royal orders and no money. From the looks of it, he doesn't mean to attack political opponents. How can he be like this? Don’t you know that it will make people hate you?”

In the backyard of Jingzhao Mansion, Jing Zhaoyin, who was in the hall, was very angry and kept complaining. Just now in the hall, facing Qiu Yan and Tian Youqing, two famous people before the emperor, he was neither left nor right. .

In his position, he must know how to handle some officials and be selfless with them, but sometimes he has to learn to be friendly with them.

It's just that this time, Qiu Yan was obviously unwilling to give up, and the reconciliation could not go on after all.

A subordinate officer nearby echoed: "I have long heard that Qiu Yan is unkind. What he did in the Privy Council has long been spread throughout the officialdom of the capital. He has offended almost everyone he can offend. I don't know how to be the same as the light." , Don’t understand the way of being an official. Such people may be able to do something when they are cared for by officials, but if the holy support is no longer there, they will fall immediately. "

"This official also understands in his heart." Jing Zhaoyin nodded, "That's why I'm holding back. If I offend others because of Qiu Yan, it's really not worth it. People like him should retreat and write books, and shouldn't serve in court. Officer, but Qiu Yan is not an ordinary person after all. I don’t know how long it can take. By the way, Suiyuan, haven’t you been in contact with Qiu Yan before? "

As he spoke, he suddenly asked someone.

If Qiu Yan were here, he would be able to recognize that this person is Zheng Quan, who was the official during his examination, and now he is working in Jingzhao Mansion.

When Zheng Quan heard Shangguan's question, he lowered his head and said, "Xiaoguan just met Bachelor Qiu in the examination room and didn't say much. He didn't have much friendship and couldn't give him any advice. It's just that Bachelor Qiu has made great contributions many times and has literary talent." By the way, since the Palace Master doesn’t want to offend Tian Youqing and cause trouble in the future, it’s best not to offend Bachelor Qiu. After all, it’s hard for anyone to predict what will happen in the future.”

Ever since the joint examination, Zheng Quan had expected Qiu Yan to be extraordinary and wanted to make friends with him, but he was transferred back and forth and never got what he wanted. However, when he heard the inquiry, he still carefully alerted Jing Zhaoyin.

"It makes sense, but it will be more difficult to handle." Jing Zhaoyin was also deeply touched when he heard this. He knew that Qiu Yan had lost his official position and would be influential in the future in the name of his academics, so he also had scruples. The headache is getting worse.

………………

At the same time, when Qiu Yan returned to the palace, he immediately received an oral order saying that the emperor had announced his entry into the palace.

"Finally here." Qiu Yan was surprised by this. After nodding, he changed his clothes and went to the palace. (To be continued...)
