Chapter 26 Master Xun and Le Zhengzi
Ye Yan walked straight to the gate with the path, slightly cupped his hands to the two Confucian disciples guarding outside the gate, and said, "I was entrusted by a friend to come to pay a visit to Senior Le Zhengzi, and I would like to inform you both."

"I don't know who you are, what's your business here?"

A Confucian scholar asked curiously.

Ye Chang heard the words and replied: "People who are idle here are not worth mentioning. Just the two of you, please hand this thing over to the head of your sect."

As he spoke, he took out a letter and handed it to the other party.

A disciple reached out to take it, and then said: "Please wait a moment, I will go in and report."

As he spoke, he opened the door, turned around and entered the villa.

After about a while, the door opened slowly again, and a refined young figure walked over without haste.

He was wearing a neat turquoise Confucian gown, well-dressed, and looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a serious and meticulous complexion.

After stepping through the gate, he took a slight look at Ye Yuan, then cupped his hands and said, "I'm a Confucianist, I'm being polite. I don't know how to address you, Your Excellency?"

The former also returned a salute and said: "Xia Yezhang, I took the liberty to bother you today, just because I was entrusted by a friend to come to pay a visit to Senior Le Zhengzi. If it is convenient, please introduce him."

Hearing the words, the young man named Fu Nian thought for a while, then nodded, and then continued: "So it's Mr. Ye, if that's the case, then let me do it."

"Thank you."

Ye Yan saluted slightly, thanked him, and then followed the former into the Little Sage's Village.

Entering the manor, I looked around and saw that there are many waterside pavilions, full of poetry and painting.And the promenade built on the shallow water is even more delicate and dignified.

Ye Yan nodded slightly, this little sage village was built with a lot of taste, without any sense of vulgarity in its style.

Passing through the corridor, turning around the winding path, a few people came to a bamboo forest in a short time.

These bamboo trees are green and strong, after the baptism of the spring rain in the past two days, there is a fresh breath in the originally quiet forest.

On the ground, many sharp young shoots burst out of the ground, exuding a sense of vitality. Walking in such a path, one can't help but feel an unspeakable sense of comfort in the heart.

Ye Shang said: "This place is quite refined, I wonder which Confucian great virtuous residence it is?"

Fu Nian replied after hearing the words: "The name of this place is Green Bamboo Forest, and it is the place where Uncle Xun cultivated himself. The head master happened to be here today."

Ye Chang's expression changed and he smiled lightly and said: "It turns out that he is a high-ranking disciple of Le Zhengzi, disrespectful and disrespectful."

"Brother won the prize."

Fu Nian said modestly, and then continued to lead the way. He saw a few people passing through the forest, and a bamboo courtyard appeared in sight. Although the courtyard was not big, it contained a unique charm.

Before arriving at the courtyard, Fu Nian stopped in his tracks, and said, "Master is playing chess with Uncle Xun in the courtyard, so it's inconvenient to disturb you easily. I'll let you know first, and please wait for Brother Ye."

Ye Yan smiled lightly, and was about to say something, but at this moment, a voice came from the courtyard.

"It's not easy to say that a friend comes from afar. The two little friends came from afar, how can you refuse the door, please come in."

There is a hint of calmness and easy-going in this slightly old voice, which makes people's hearts calm down involuntarily.

After the words fell, Ye Chang's expression moved slightly. Although this voice sounded without fireworks, it contained a strange rhythm invisibly, as if it could directly lead to the depths of people's hearts.

Based on this alone, it can be judged that the cultivation level of the person who spoke is absolutely extraordinary, at least not comparable to his own.

At this time, Fu Nian said: "Uncle Xun has an invitation, brother Ye can come with me."

As he spoke, he slowly pushed open the courtyard door and led the way.

And Ye Yan nodded, and then led the way into the courtyard together.

Stepping into the courtyard, one can see that the place is extraordinarily quiet, with almost no extra decorations, the only embellishments are the green grass on the ground and a few flowers and trees that can be seen everywhere.

Looking up, I saw an exquisite and elegant bamboo building. The pavilions and pavilions are all made of green bamboo, which seems to be completely isolated from the hustle and bustle of the outside world, and has a natural charm of Taoism.

In the center of the courtyard, there are two old men sitting around the green bamboo table, and a chessboard is placed on the green table.

Ye Yan raised his eyes and sized him up slightly.

I saw that these two old men seemed to have passed the age of seventy, with white beard and hair, high crowns on their heads, and loose blue Confucian robes. They were obviously seniors with high morals in Confucianism.

Presumably they are the two most prestigious elders of Confucianism, Master Xun and Le Zhengzi.

At this time, Fu Nian stepped forward and bowed respectfully: "Disciple pays homage to Master, Uncle Xun."

Master Xun, who was sitting on the left, smiled slightly and said, "Fu Nian's cultivation level has improved, and it seems that he has been very diligent recently."

Fu Nian clapped his hands and replied: "Master uncle is absurd, the disciple's qualifications are dull, so I have to study hard."

Xunzi smiled and said, looking at the serious-looking old man in front of him, "Fu Nian's humble and respectful personality is exactly the same as your senior brother when you were young."

Le Zhengzi, who was sitting on the other side, kept his expression unchanged and still looked serious. With a slight movement of his fingers, the chess piece jumped onto the chessboard as if it had come to life.

He said lightly: "The six Confucian arts are led by etiquette, so you should be cautious in your words and deeds."

Xunzi smiled and didn't say much, turned his head to look at Ye Shang, and glanced slightly.

For a moment, Ye Yan only felt that there seemed to be a strange force passing over him in an instant, but in just one breath, he seemed to be seen through from inside to outside.

I couldn't help being slightly startled in my heart, since I left Yin Yang's house, it was the first time I had such an unpredictable feeling, even if it was unknown.

"It's rare to have such a cultivation base at such a young age."

Master Xun stroked his beard lightly, and commented a little appreciatively.

Le Zhengzi raised his hand and dropped his hand, also took a look at him, and said solemnly: "Where did you come from? Taoism or Yinyang school?"

Ye Yan said seriously: "Family teacher Chu Nangong."

Hearing this, Le Zhengzi raised his eyebrows slightly, subconsciously paused the movements of his hands, as if he had thought of something, and said softly: "Mr. Nan, um..."

At the beginning, he regarded himself as orthodox Confucianism and Taoism, and had a bit of contempt for the branch of Taoism, the Yinyang School, until he met Chu Nangong one day.

That fight is still fresh in my memory...
