The mountain was not high, but there were immortals.
The water was not deep, but it was spiritual with a dragon.
At the end of the path in a bamboo forest, there was a private school.
In this era, knowledge was a very precious thing. Everyone could only learn all kinds of knowledge in the academies of their respective countries. However, ordinary people could not enter the academies at all, so they could not come into contact with knowledge. Knowledge was a virtual product that belonged to the monopoly of nobles.
However, a hundred years ago, an official of the State of Jin broke this rule and decided to open a private school so that ordinary people could have the opportunity to study and learn.
His decision was opposed by everyone at that time, and there were many obstacles. However, for his own ideals, he resolutely resigned and used his own resources to leave Jin to open a private school.
It has been more than a hundred years since then.
This person's descendants had always carried forward the wishes of their ancestors. They were scholars for generations and had set up private schools for generations. Up to now, more than ten thousand people from all countries in the Central Plains had benefited from this.
In the bamboo forest's private school, the sound of reading could be heard. The students inside had different identities and origins.
There were ordinary peddlers, children of noble officials, Chu, Qi, Wei, and basically all the other countries in the Central Plains.
At the front of the classroom stood a middle-aged man in plain clothes.
Although he was dressed in plain clothes, his temperament was filled with a sense of elegance that made people feel relaxed and happy. He had a bamboo scroll in his hand and a pair of deep eyes that seemed to contain three thousand years of spring and autumn. It was unforgettable.
His name was Kong Qiu, a descendant of Kong Ping from a hundred years ago. He was also a teacher that all the students in the private school respected. He was also one of the sages recognized by countless people in the world today. He was as famous as Laozi, the founder of Taoism.
Listening to the students 'recitation and looking at the bamboo slips in his hands, Kong Qiu's unwavering eyes moved as he looked out of the classroom.
"Stop!"
The students in the classroom immediately stopped reading and looked up at Kong Qiu in confusion.
"Yin Le, you've been standing outside for almost an hour, come in." Kong Qiu said softly.
"Yes, teacher."
A seventeen or eighteen-year-old man pushed open the door and walked in.
Kong Qiu looked at the newcomer. Yi Le was one of his most favored students. He was well-educated and knew that Kong Qiu didn't like to be disturbed in class. But now that he had come, it was obvious that something special had happened and he had to report it.
" What is it? Speak!" Kong Qiu said softly, his tone calm, as if he didn't blame Yin Le for disturbing him.
"Thank you, teacher!"
Yin Le bowed with both hands and said with a serious face,"" Teacher, something happened in the Jin Country. Duke Ding of Jin summoned the vassals to an alliance meeting because of the legendary statue of the Immortal Deer in the Clouds. However, something unexpected happened during the meeting. The legendary statue of the Stone Deer was resurrected."
Kong Qiu had been calmly listening to Yin Le.
He naturally knew about Duke Ding of Jin's alliance meeting. He even knew that Duke Ding of Jin was using the stone deer statue as an excuse. He even sent a message to one of his students in the State of Jin, hoping to persuade Duke Ding of Jin to cancel the alliance meeting, although he estimated that the success rate of this matter was not high.
However, Yin Le's next words were something Kong Qiu had never expected.
The calm and composed faces were replaced by astonishment, and the students in the classroom were all flabbergasted.
They heard something.
Shi Lu revived!
Everyone present was knowledgeable and knew what the legendary stone deer was. Therefore, they were even more surprised by what Yin Le said.
Kong Qiu looked at Yin Le, his eyes shining with a tangible light.
"Yin Le, are you serious? That Stone Deer has really revived!"
" Teacher, it's absolutely true. This matter has already spread throughout the Jin Country, but this is not the main point. According to Senior Brother's information, at that time, the various dukes in the palace of the Jin Country tried to capture the Stone Deer, no, the Immortal Deer in the Clouds, causing the Immortal Deer in the Clouds to counterattack. It's unknown what ability it used to cause the entire palace to collapse with a loud bang, burying all the dukes."
“！”
Hearing this, the classroom could not help but gasp.
Kong Qiu's expression became serious. He knew that something big had happened.
Yin Le continued,"" Many people were killed or injured when the palace collapsed. It's said that Duke Ding of Jin, Duke Qi, Duke Chen, Duke Cai, Duke Lu, and Duke Qin are all dead. I don't know if there are any other casualties. Anyway, Teacher, I'm afraid the world is going to be in chaos."
In the past, there had been cases where a country's Duke had died in an accident. There had even been cases where he had been assassinated. However, there had never been a case like this time where several people had died at once, including the Duke of a powerful country like Jin, Qi, and Qin.
Kong Qiu put down the bamboo scroll in his hand and closed his eyes. After a long while, he opened them again.
"Yin Le, Ying Chang, Shao Zhu, Jiao Suzhi."
Kong Qiu named a group of students, and all of them stood up.
"Teacher, do you have any instructions?" They said in unison.
Kong Qiu said," Return to your countries and use your connections to stabilize the people of your countries. Don't cause any unrest. I will inform some people to help you. Also, if a new Duke succeeds to the throne, try your best to advise him not to do anything irrational."
"Teacher, what irrational behavior are you talking about?"
Kong Qiu looked at the sky outside the school.
"This incident was caused by the vassals 'greed for the spiritual beasts of the world. Just like a hundred years ago, the warlords fought for the deer and suffered heavy casualties. In the end, they came up empty-handed. I don't want such an incident to happen again in this era."
Although Kong Qiu said so, he felt that the probability of this happening again was extremely high, so he left the classroom after saying that and went to the small courtyard behind the private school.
"Yao Xiang!"
An 18-year-old girl dressed in male clothes walked over. She was a girl that Kong Qiu had saved when he was traveling around the world. For some reason, he had brought her along to impart knowledge. She was now Kong Qiu's maid and helper.
"Teacher, what can I do for you?"
Kong Qiu quickly wrote a letter and handed it to Yao Xiang.
"Pass this letter to Mo Di, who is currently in Zhou Country. Tell him to do as much as possible according to what the letter says."
"Wanderer Mo Di?" Yao Xiang's heart skipped a beat. She knew that although this person wasn't Kong Qiu's student, Kong Qiu admired him. He was a powerful fellow with many friends.
"Yes, teacher. Yao Xiang will definitely complete the mission."
Watching Yao Xiang leave, Kong Qiu stood under a large tree with his hands behind his back and sighed. No one knew that his ancestor had a relationship with the Immortal Deer in the Clouds. It was also because of the experience of the Immortal Deer in the Clouds that his ancestor decided to embark on the path of imparting knowledge and opening a private school for the world. At the same time, Kong Qiu also knew that his ancestor's greatest wish was to see the legendary White Deer with his own eyes, other than allowing the world to read.
After all, without the Immortal Deer in the Clouds, Kong Ping would have been killed by bandits and Kong Qiu would not have existed.
" Celestial Deer in the Clouds, Exotic White Deer, perhaps I should fulfill this wish for my ancestor," Kong Qiu muttered softly.
