Chapter 553: Discussing the Dao in the bamboo forest

The Mirage docked in a deep water area near Sanghai City.

The Mirage was built in Sanghai, and the nearby sea area had long been explored by the Mohist and Gongshu families.

After the Mirage anchored and Su Xuan and others came down from the Mirage, official people immediately came to welcome Su Xuan.

Sanghai City is a small city, and there are also city lords and some garrison troops in the city.

Ordinary people don't know who is on the Mirage, but the city lord of Sanghai City knows very well.

This is the National Master!

Even though the National Master took people to sea for two years, his status in the Emperor's heart has not dropped by half. Over the past two years, he has received letters from Xianyang asking whether the Mirage has returned.

It can be seen how much the Emperor values the Mirage and the National Master.

"Greetings, National Master!"

After seeing Su Xuan, the city lord of Sanghai City hurriedly bowed to Su Xuan, and the many officials who followed him here also bowed to Su Xuan respectfully.

"No need for formalities!"

Su Xuan said lightly.

"Prepare a place for us to rest first!"

After all, having drifted on the sea for two years, now that they are back on land, no matter what, they must take a bath first and then have a good meal.

"National Master, don't worry, the subordinate has prepared everything!"

After learning that the Mirage had returned, the city lord of Sanghai City made preparations. This time, after seeing the Mirage dock, he immediately took people to disperse the onlookers and came to welcome Su Xuan.

Su Xuan nodded, indicating he knew.

The city lord of Sanghai City asked Su Xuan another question, "National Master, since the Mirage has returned, should this matter be notified to Xianyang?"

Su Xuan said softly: "This is natural, you can leave this matter to you!"

"Yes!"

After hearing Su Xuan's words, the city lord of Sanghai City immediately responded.

After leaving some people to guard the Mirage, the city lord of Sanghai City took Su Xuan, Jing Ke, Concubine Yan, the Great and Little Si Ming, and others to Sanghai City.

As early as when the Mirage appeared in the near sea, the city lord of Sanghai City had prepared a residence for Su Xuan and others, and all treatments were of the highest grade.

After resting here for a while, taking a bath, and changing into clothes, the city lord of Sanghai City sent someone to invite them.

Inviting Su Xuan and others to eat at Haiyue Haiyue Xiaozhu.

Haiyue Haiyue Xiaozhu is the most high-end restaurant in Sanghai, where you can eat while watching the sea view. The city lord of Sanghai City invited Su Xuan and others to come here, which can only be said to be intentional.

After finishing a meal here, Su Xuan only felt that it was good not to abandon the fun of being a human and not to give up the hobby of food.

With his strength, it is completely fine not to eat or drink for a long time.

The reason why he still chooses to eat is entirely out of hobby, plus he doesn't want to give up the fun of being a human right now. When he considers giving up these hobbies when he is in seclusion for hundreds or thousands of years, he will consider it.

In the two years at sea, although there was a lot of food on the Mirage, unfortunately, the taste was really not very good. At the beginning, they ate seafood every day, and later they didn't even have seafood to eat.

At this moment, after enjoying the food at Haiyue Haiyue Xiaozhu, Su Xuan looked at the city lord of Sanghai City who kept flattering him, and decided in his heart that this was a talent.

Since the other party is so sensible, he doesn't mind promoting him.

After returning to the residence prepared by the city lord of Sanghai City, Su Xuan went to rest.

And the city lord of Sanghai City needs to prepare a letter to report the return of the Mirage to Xianyang.

The next day.

Su Xuan was preparing to go to Sanghai City for a stroll. After all, after two years, returning to the mainland, he inevitably felt a bit novel about everything on the mainland.

Just then, a guest came to Su Xuan's place.

"Greetings, His Excellency Master Xuantian～～!"

Yan Lu, the second leader of the Confucian school, looked at Su Xuan and bowed respectfully.

As a prominent school in the Qilu region, the leader Fu Nian is also an official in the court. They have been rooted in Sanghai for many years and have great power, so even the city lord of Sanghai City has to give them some face, so it is not strange that Yan Lu can come to Su Xuan.

"Leader Yan Lu, long time no see!"

Su Xuan greeted Yan Lu in a casual tone.

Yan Lu nodded gently. It had indeed been a long time, and it had been two full years since the Mirage went to sea.

Afterward, he stated the purpose of coming here, "Uncle Xun ordered me to come and invite His Excellency Master Xuantian to meet at the Little Sage Village!"

"Is Does Xun Zi inviting me? I see!"

Su Xuan could roughly guess what Does Xun Zi meant. Anyway, it would take some time for the letter to be sent back to Xianyang. During this time, Su Xuan would stay in Sanghai City. Since he was in Sanghai, he would go and meet Does Xun Zi.

After telling Concubine Yan and others,

Su Xuan followed Yan Lu to the Little Sage Village alone.

The Little Sage Village did not change much compared to two years ago, and it was still full of the sound of reading.

Yan Lu took Su Xuan directly to the back mountain of the Little Sage Village.

Here the bamboo forest is green and extremely lush. In the middle of the dense bamboo forest, there is a small bamboo building.

When Yan Lu brought Su Xuan here.

An old man wearing a high crown and not smiling had been waiting here for a long time.

Yan Lu stopped, arched his hands, and bowed slightly.

Does Xun Zi took a look at Yan Lu, and Yan Lu left here very consciously.

Consequently, in the bamboo forest, only Su Xuan and Does Xun Zi were left.

The breeze blew, the bamboo leaves fell, and the artistic conception was immediately filled.

Unfortunately, with such a good artistic conception, the two did not fight.

The reason is that many years ago, the two had already fought, and Does Xun Zi knew that he could not beat Su Xuan.

"｀ 」His Excellency Master Xuantian, two years apart, your style is still the same!" Does Xun Zi showed a shallow smile at the corner of his mouth and took the lead in greeting Su Xuan.

"Does Xun Zi is also strong in his old age!" Su Xuan also replied.

(Ma Le Zhao) After the polite remarks, Does Xun Zi said to Su Xuan again: "Let's go in and talk!"

He turned around and took the lead in stepping into the bamboo building, and Su Xuan followed closely behind.

In the bamboo building, everything was made of bamboo.

Su Xuan and Does Xun Zi sat opposite each other at the table, and then Does Xun Zi stated the main purpose of inviting Su Xuan this time, "After two years, the Mirage has returned. Today, I invite His Excellency Master Xuantian to come here to ask His Excellency Master Xuantian if you have cracked all the secrets of the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon? Have you understood the truth of the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon?"

Su Xuan did not answer Does Xun Zi's question immediately, but looked at Does Xun Zi with a playful gaze, "Unexpectedly, Does Xun Zi would be interested in this kind of question!"

Does Xun Zi said softly: "No way, after all, my age is already very old, and the legend of the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon has been circulating in the world for a long time. Since I have the opportunity to know the truth of this mystery in my lifetime, I naturally don't want to miss it."
