Chapter 602: Ci Ci, Xu Ming is here!
After traveling all night long and spending a lot of money to pass through one magic circle after another.
Finally, Xu Ming brought Lin Xingluo to the territory of Wu State.
"Sir, is this the Central Plains?"
Walking into the Yumen Pass of Wu State, Lin Xingluo looked left and right.
Except for that time when it was sold to a border city in the Central Plains.
This was Lin Xingluo’s first time coming to the Central Plains.
Lin Xingluo had actually heard of the Central Plains a long time ago, and had also seen what the Central Plains was like in books.
But no matter what, what Lin Xingluo saw were just words, and he had to rely more on his own imagination.
When I actually stepped into the Central Plains, I found that it was quite different from what I had imagined.
How to say it.
Lin Xingluo felt that the Central Plains seemed to be no different from his own Western Regions.
If I have to say something different, it seems that the people in the Central Plains seem to be more simple and honest, unlike those in the Western Regions. Even an ordinary person will roll his eyes when he sees you, as if he wants to squeeze every drop of oil out of you.
Xu Ming nodded: "This is the territory of Wei State, but you can't regard the territory of Wei State as the Central Plains. Every dynasty has a different appearance. If you want to have a comprehensive understanding of the Central Plains, you need to travel more."
"Sir, are we going to the White Deer Academy, or are we going directly back to Wu State?"
Lin Xingluo asked Xu Ming curiously.
Judging from the letter from Wu Guo, the situation in Wudu is actually very bad and the situation is extremely urgent.
Otherwise, the young master would not have been in such a hurry to come back, and he would have used as many teleportation arrays as possible along the way, saving as much time as possible.
But Mr. Lu asked you to help deliver a letter to the dean of Bailu Academy, so you might stay at Bailu Academy for a while? "Let's go to Bailu Academy first." Xu Ming made a decisive decision. "It will take us more than half a month to get back to Wudu from here, but Bailu Academy has a teleportation array. If we can use that array, it may only take two days, and we can also help Mr. Lu deliver a letter."
"Hmm."
Lin Xingluo nodded.
Since it was the young master who made the decision, Lin Xingluo naturally would not say anything.
And in Lin Xingluo's heart, he was actually quite curious about what Bailu Academy was like.
As the best academy in the world, Bailu Academy is a holy place for countless Confucian scholars to study. Even in the Western Regions, Lin Xingluo has heard a lot about the reputation of Bailu Academy.
Moreover, Lin Xingluo also wanted to see how those Confucian scholars practiced.
Why can those scholars cultivate a sense of righteousness through reading, and their strength is not low? "Let's go, the mountain ahead is it."
Xu Ming strode towards the Zhulu Mountains where the Bailu Academy was located.
The closer he got to the Zhulu Mountains, the more Lin Xingluo felt the strong aura of literature and Taoism.
Gusts of mountain breeze blow by, and even in the breeze you can smell the faint scent of ink.
Blowing in the breeze that carried the scent of ink, Lin Xingluo felt extremely comfortable, as if his body had suddenly become much more refreshed.
When we arrived at the foot of Bailu Academy, we did not see any disciples guarding the gate.
There is no magnificent gate at the foot of the mountain.
Some are just a stone next to the mountain gate with four big characters on it: "Bailu Academy".
The further you go up the mountain, the more scholars you see, both male and female.
Most people were holding books in their hands and looked very bookish.
Many scholars would also turn their heads to look at Lin Xingluo, keeping their gaze on him for a few seconds.
A beautiful lady is a gentleman's dream.
This is also normal.
"Sir, can women also read?" Lin Xingluo asked curiously.
Xu Ming nodded and said, "Of course, Bailu Academy emphasizes education for all, and everyone can study regardless of gender.
Moreover, Bailu Academy has also cultivated many talented women who are famous all over the world. For example, the closed disciple of the dean of Bailu Academy is a woman.
But compared to men, women are still less educated! Most women are just daughters of nobles in some dynasties, who are sent here to cultivate their character, make them knowledgeable and well-mannered, and marry into a better family in the future. "
"I see." Lin Xingluo nodded.
"Miss, may I ask where the dean lives? I have a letter from Mr. Lu Xiaoliu, and Mr. Lu has asked me to pass it on to the dean."
Xu Ming found a young girl. Judging from her clothes, she should be a noble sent by the dynasty to Bailu Academy for gilding.
"Dean?" The girl blinked and pointed the way to Xu Ming. "Go up all the way until you see a waterfall. Go east for another 300 meters and go straight through a bamboo forest. That is the dean's residence."
"Thank you, girl."
“You’re welcome.” The girl looked at Xu Ming and Lin Xingluo’s clothes and asked curiously, “Looking at the way you’re dressed, you don’t look like someone from the Central Plains? Are you from the Western Regions?”
Xu Ming smiled and said, "I am from the Central Plains, but I have been in the Western Regions for a long time. My previous clothes are long gone, so I simply came back wearing Western clothes. However, my maid is from the Western Regions."
"Oh." The girl nodded and looked at Xu Ming carefully, as if she did not miss any details about Xu Ming.
"What's wrong with the girl?" Xu Ming asked puzzledly.
It’s not that this girl has any ill will towards him.
This girl seemed to be confirming something.
"Nothing, I just feel like you look like someone else." The girl shook her head and introduced herself, "My name is Xia Wei, may I know your name?"
Xu Ming bowed and said, he had nothing to hide: "I am Xu Ming from Wu State."
"Sure enough, you are the Xu Ming!" Xia Wei's eyes lit up instantly, and she jumped like a little rabbit.
"Girl, do you know me?" Xu Ming asked curiously.
This girl has a pretty face and outstanding temperament. If I have had some interactions with her, I should remember her.
"No, I just saw your portrait, Master Xu. When I saw you today, I felt that you looked familiar, so I asked you. I didn't expect that you were really Master Xu."
Xia said with a smile.
In fact, Xia Wei wanted to say - "I don't know you, but my best friend knows you. Not only does she know you, she also often mentions you to me. My ears are almost callused!"
But in the end, Xia Wei still held back.
"Then I won't disturb you, young lady." Xu Ming bowed to Xia Wei.
"Goodbye, sir." Xia Wei bowed and watched Xu Ming walk upstairs.
After Xu Ming walked away, Xia Wei lifted her skirt and quickly ran towards her best friend's courtyard.
