Chapter 1457.
Mountain and Sea Realm, Nanli Kingdom.
On the rugged mountain road, a large black donkey was carrying a scholar and two boxes of luggage as they trekked forward.
The scholar was dressed in a green shirt, in his early twenties, although his appearance was ordinary, his eyes were bright and godly, revealing the distinctive scholarly atmosphere, and he was equipped with a long sword on his waist.
Sunset dusk, riding a green donkey of the scholar finally out of the mountains, turned into a flat and open official road.
His destination was the county town of Qing’an in front of him.
The scholar was lucky enough to enter the city before the gates closed.
Qing’an County was located in the southwest of the Southern Li Kingdom, the county had a population of tens of thousands, and the land and water transportation was not well developed, so it was not considered to be much of a prosperous place, but it was far from the effects of the war, so it was relatively peaceful and tranquil.
It was getting late, the green shirt scholar found an inn to stay.
The innkeeper was very enthusiastic, personally received him: “Dare I ask your name, how many nights you want to live in the store?”
The scholar handed over the black donkey he was holding to the shopkeeper to take care of, and smiled, “I’m free of your surname, Wang, I’m just coming to the treasure land to make a living, so I’d like to ask the shopkeeper to take more care of me.”
After a pause, he added, “Stay for three nights first.”
“So it’s Mr. Wang.”
The innkeeper said solemnly, “I wouldn’t dare to take care of you, the store is having an upper room available, would it be alright for you to stay first?”
The Southern Li State had always emphasized both the civil and military, and true readers were highly respected.
The innkeeper had seen a lot and saw that although this scholar was young, his temperament was quite extraordinary, so he had a few more points of respect.
“Good.”
Mr. Wang gladly took out a silver ingot and handed it to the other party, “One should pay for the expenses, more refunds, less compensation.”
The innkeeper knew that this was good snowflake official silver, and the weight of one ingot was the standard five taels, which was more than enough to cover three days of room and board plus livestock care expenses.
He immediately smiled, “Please follow me.”
The innkeeper courteously took Mr. Wang to the guest room, and in addition instructed his fellows to prepare hot water and a bath tub.
After settling down, taking a hot bath, and eating the snacks served by the shopkeeper, the night was already very late.
However, Mr. Wang did not have the slightest sleepiness, he opened the window to look up at the starry sky, his dark eyes reflecting the Milky Way.
Mountain and Sea Realm, long time no see!
Mr. Wang was none other than Wang Duan who had reentered the Mountain and Sea Realm.
But at this moment, he was no longer a YuanYing True Immortal of the Haotian Realm, and had turned into a mortal without the slightest bit of magical power.
Wang Chen’s cultivation, along with his YuanYing, is deadlocked within the qi sea and dantian, and he can’t perform any spells.
Mortal dust refining the heart, if it was still a cultivator with the ability to burn mountains and boil the sea, then it was destined to be futile.
The only way to truly refine the mortal heart is to become a mortal and experience the mortal dust!
Originally, Wang Dust wanted to go to Da Qian because when he was in Yun Yang Sect back then, he once went down to the place as a Zhen Guan Tian Shi.
However, today’s Daqian mountains and rivers broken country will not country, hundreds of millions of people did not in the natural and man-made disasters, can not find any piece of peace, is not suitable for mortal dust refining the heart of the location.
Under no circumstances, wang dust can only travel all the way south to arrive at the south of the country.
Choosing this quiet county as a landing place.
From the descent of the Mountain and Sea Realm to here, Wang Dust spent more than three months before and after the encounter on the way to the stragglers and bandits, difficult and bumpy difficult to describe with ink.
Three days later, through the innkeeper’s introduction, Wang Chen bought a compound located in the south of the county town.
He spent most of his silver taels for this purpose.
The innkeeper was interested in making friends with Wang Chuan, a scholar, and not only acted as a broker to broker the deal, but also accompanied him to the Yamen to handle the formalities of transferring and settling the house.
Without the help of this local snake, even if Wang Chuan bought a house, it would not be easy for him to settle down in Qing’an County.
In the end, he helped Wang Duan settle down in his new home.
To show his gratitude, Wang Dust invited him to eat at a nearby restaurant.
During the meal, the innkeeper inquired, “Mr. Wang, you’ve settled in the county, so what are your plans for the future?”
Although Wang Dust was not cheap, he was obviously not a wealthy son, otherwise he would not have bought a house in the south of the city.
Like most cities, Qing’an County had a pattern of rich in the east and poor in the west, poor in the south and cheap in the north, and most of the people living in the south of the city were commoners, and the environment was just a little bit better than the north of the city.
A few days down the road, the innkeeper and Wang Duan also had some friendship, so he was concerned about the latter’s livelihood.
After all, in today’s world, it was not easy to make a living in the county.
Wang Dust was still an outsider.
“I plan to open a private school.”
Without thinking, Wang Dust replied, “Teaching and educating people, peaches and plums, is enough to comfort my life!”
“Good!”
The innkeeper’s eyes instantly lit up, and he immediately said, “My family’s boy has just turned five years old, he is at the age of enlightenment, I wonder if Mr. Wang would be willing to accept him as a disciple?”
Over the past few days, he had been secretly observing Wang Chen.
The more he looked, the more he felt that Wang Chen was extraordinary.
If Wang Dust could accept his youngest son as a student, then the relationship between the two parties would undoubtedly take another big step forward.
“The sage said that there is no class without teaching.”
Wang Dust smiled, “As long as one is willing to learn, I will be willing to teach.”
The innkeeper rejoiced, “That’s great!”
With this relationship, the innkeeper’s attitude towards Wang Chuan was even more enthusiastic, and he took the initiative to take over the house renovation affairs, contracting for materials and hiring people to remodel a schoolhouse in Wang Chuan’s new home.
Although a bit simple, but tables, chairs, benches, seats and other items are available.
And the innkeeper’s youngest son, also became the first student of this Wang’s school.
Originally, the innkeeper also wanted to send a tuition.
But Wang Duan politely refused.
The other party had already done a lot of favors, so he couldn’t be greedy.
The innkeeper simply used his own connections to help him advertise, which resulted in Wang’s Pavilion School actually enrolling seven students before the school year began.
These students were basically all five or six years old, children who had yet to be enlightened.
Don’t look at the number is very small, in fact, has been very difficult, after all, the local people send their children to study, the first choice is their own family is most familiar with the museum school, or a reputable scholar’s family.
Wang dust neither proud of the reputation, but also rootless outsiders, if not the innkeeper personally as a guarantee, but also sent their own children in, or else can not recruit a very normal.
In this regard, Wang Duan himself is also very satisfied.
In the small Wang’s Pavilion School, the sound of loud reading soon rang out.
And this sound into the left and right neighboring houses, and caused a lot of people around the attention of the family, from time to time people in the door to probe the head.
Wang Dust ignored it and concentrated on teaching his disciples the Thousand Character Essay.
The Thousand Character Classic is the most commonly used textbook in the Shanhai Realm, which contains 1,579 commonly used characters, as long as one learns and reads this book, one is completely out of the realm of the illiterate.
There was a foundation for establishing a school.
