Chapter 344 School Debate
After returning the avatar outside of the body and letting Sun Miao go back to sleep, Suning fell into deep thought.

What did that dragon-slaying national master Wei Changjiu mean?
What kind of monster is that monster with a demonic aura in Yuxiu Palace?

Why is Wei Changjiu unwilling to intervene?

One question after another made Suning full of doubts.

The autumn wind at night blew into the study room, the candles flickered, and the books in front of Su Ning were blown up by the wind, messing up the books and disturbing his heart.

If Su Ning was alone, even if dozens of peak cultivators joined forces, he would not be afraid at all, but now there is a girl by his side, who is concerned and tied.

However, according to the National Preceptor, the witch in Yuxiu Palace has great intentions, and it should be easy for her to deal with her. Therefore, she will be safe and sound within a short period of time. Of course, the bigger reason is that the other party is not sure of dealing with her.

"Dragon Qi is only useful for real dragons or dragon subordinates, but the Dao is mysterious. Some secret techniques may not be able to refine Dragon Qi, such as some contracts."

With that in mind, Suning had an epiphany.

The conclusion of a contract is actually very complicated. The more powerful the contract, the more it needs to be concluded, and some contracts require the willingness of the other party.

Especially the emperor's crape myrtle true dragon luck, which is a gift from the divine way of fishing, even if it is not as good as the crape myrtle true essence, it is still an extremely terrible luck.

A small jiao, if raised by the luck of a real dragon, can transform into a dragon within ten years, within 100 years, or within 30 years.

However, the emperor's real dragon luck is also limited, and there will always be times when his luck will run out.

This involves many complex causes and effects, national fortunes, and so on.

This also makes today's emperors in the world not very concerned about the monster race and monster girls.

Even 100 years ago, there was an emperor who loved to keep snake girls, fox girls and other witches the most.

Rubbing the center of his brows, Suning didn't think about it any more, the soldiers came to cover the water and soil, just be careful.

The only important thing right now is how Sun Miao can enter the Sheji Academy.

Even if the purpose of Sheji Academy is "teaching without discrimination" of the most holy teachers, after several generations, it is still unavoidable.

Suning has the status of a monk, so maybe he can not be underestimated, but it is difficult to guarantee that Sun Miao can enter school with peace of mind.

After all, the entrance exam of Sheji Academy once a year can be said to be a single-plank bridge for thousands of people to cross, which is the dream of countless reading seeds of the Longyuan Dynasty.

Suning doesn't know how long it will take.

But it's not a bad thing to know first.

Half a month later, the annual entrance examination for Sheji Academy will begin.

Suning decided to try it himself first.

His face is extremely young, even if he stands with the weak crown boy, there is no difference, even younger than those people.

This is the special feature of "War God" exercises, which can not only beautify the skin, but also keep youth forever.

Of course, this is not a woman's love of beauty, but a god of war, who needs to maintain a young body to fight for a longer period of time.

At the end of autumn, the world is bleak, and the entrance examination for Sheji Academy is about to kick off.

Su Ning slowly left the mansion with a bamboo box on his back and headed for Sheji Academy.

Sun Miao insisted on following, but was stopped by Suning.

Sheji Academy is the most famous academy in the Longyeon Dynasty, one of the few, built on the bank of the imperial palace moat in the imperial capital.

On the left side of the gate of the academy, there is a stone tablet with fourteen characters engraved on it: Preserving the principles of heaven, destroying human desires, starving to death is a small thing, and losing integrity is a big thing.

There is no signature, but there are no scholars in the Longyuan Dynasty who do not know, so there is no need to sign it.

Zhu Xi, a master of etiquette, a former saint, even though she has received mixed reviews, her culture of etiquette is still passed on like a stream.

At the gate of Sheji Academy, countless students are queuing up in the bamboo shed to receive their number plates.

In cool autumn and sunny days, the team was a bit stuffy, and some of Xijie's students showed disgust on their faces.

Among the students, there are very many teenagers and very few girls, but there are more than 30 of them.

In the Longyuan Dynasty, the story of "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" was destined not to happen.

Even though the imperial court paid little attention to women, they did not fully implement Zhu Xi's Neo-Confucianism, but only took the essence and discarded the dross.

The team was a little noisy, but there were no quarrels, and no fighting happened.

There are two reasons.

First, the rules and regulations of Sheji Academy, even if these students are not students of Sheji Academy now, they must abide by the rules, otherwise they will leave a bad impression on those teachers, which is not a good sign, and even if they are not admitted this year Sheji Academy, there is still a chance next year.

Second, it was naturally because the soldiers of the Kyoto Patrol Battalion lined up on both sides of the bamboo shed outside the courtyard, with iron armor and spears, maintaining law and order in a majestic manner.

In a dynasty, civil servants and generals are not concerned with maintaining the country, and the center of civil officials is naturally the Sheji Academy.

Sixty to seventy percent of the officials in Kyoto are mostly from the Saji Academy.

The line gradually shortened, and when it was almost Suning's turn, he took a closer look at the registration process.

First show your identity disc, and then reach out to hold a stick that looks like a diamond.

Suning recognized the stick, it was a spiritual root stick to test whether a person had the aptitude for cultivation, similar to the test stone tablet of the fairy gate.

It's just that the spiritual root stick is obviously not ready to test the monk's realm like the test stone tablet, but it can roughly predict whether a person has the possibility of cultivation.

Sheji Academy is not just an academy for studying, practice is also a subject, but now Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, and soldiers, each of the three religions has its own way of practice.

The civil servants of the dynasty are all practicing Confucianism, cultivating awe-inspiring spirit, and resonating with heaven and earth.

Li De, Li Gong, Li Yan, three immortal!

It is actually very difficult for Confucianism practice to get involved in the officialdom, and it is difficult to end well. Like Zhu Xi, the failure of ascension leaves only Neo-Confucianism.

This is the causal loop.

Of course, being an official is also the fastest way to improve the realm of Confucianism, but it is easy to have problems, and even become a literati for some reasons.

When it was Suning's turn, Suning took out the identity disk, and the monk disk of the four great immortal sects surprised the teacher behind the desk slightly.

You must know that since the past dynasties of the Sheji Academy, there have been very few successful monks who have come to study, but it is not impossible.

A solemn look appeared on the teacher's face, and the students behind him all exclaimed.

"Isn't this the identity disc issued by the four great immortal sects? Could that person be a monk, but why do monks who already have an identity disc come to Sheji Academy to study?"

"Perhaps it is not uncommon to want to mix Daoism with Confucianism."

"I don't think so, maybe it's just for fun."

"..."

"Cough cough."

The instructor got up quickly, coughed, cleared his throat, and said, "Since your Excellency has the identity disc of the Four Great Immortal Sects, you must be a great monk, why did you come to study at Sheji Academy?"

Naturally, Su Ning was embarrassed to say that he was only here to try the difficulty of the entrance examination, so he could only say: "I am addicted to books, and I learned that Sheji Academy has a Wanshou collection of books, so I came to enroll."

This can be regarded as a well-regulated answer that people can't find fault with.

Moreover, the admission of monks is not an earth-shattering event, so the teacher sat down again, and when he was about to ask some questions and asked Suning to receive the number plate, a person came out from the gate.

This person is dressed in a black master's robe, with a round face, about six feet tall.

"I met Mr. Zhu."

The soldiers of the teaching and patrol battalion immediately saluted the middle-aged man.

The other students also saluted belatedly.

Only Suning stands proudly.

The identity of a middle-aged man is self-evident.

Zhu Hao, the dean of Sheji Academy, a well-known Confucianist in the Longyuan Dynasty, is also a monk in the realm of returning to the void.

"If I'm not wrong, you should be Suning." Zhu Hao frowned.

As soon as this remark was made, all the people present immediately became crowded and chattered.You must know that Suning's reputation has long been heard in the world, but most people only hear his name but don't see him.

Suning nodded.

Zhu Hao asked with a sullen expression, "Are you here to mess things up?"

Su Ning was puzzled, "What does Dean Zhu mean?"

"Isn't it a great irony that a peak cultivator above returning to the void came to study at our Sheji Academy?" Zhu Hao said in a gloomy voice.

Su Ning hesitated for a moment, and said slowly: "It's just to study at Sheji Academy."

Zhu Hao snorted coldly, "I don't believe it."

Suning had no choice but to tell the truth.

Zhu Hao said disdainfully: "If Brother Su can beat me in the debate, then I will let the girl you mentioned enroll, otherwise I will not let her enroll no matter what."

He naturally has this self-confidence better than Suning.

You know, the Zhu family is famous for its defense, and Zhu Hao is one of the best.

Now Suning is in the limelight in the world for a while, if he can defeat Suning, even if it is only in the debate, it will greatly improve his reputation.

Suning frowned, he didn't know what Zhu Hao meant, but if he didn't agree, the gate of Sheji Academy would be closed to Sun Miao forever.

He was not afraid that Zhu Hao would lose against Sun Miao.

Because even though Zhu Xi's knowledge has a lot of dross, it has not reached the point of this kind of hypocrite. Of course, Zhu Xi has always said that he is a hypocrite.

"Yes." Su Ning nodded.

Everyone at the scene fell silent, watching Suning and Zhu Hao get closer and closer to each other, fearing that they would fight.

The two stopped at a distance of about five steps.

Su Ning asked: "Dean Zhu, what benefit does your Neo Confucian knowledge have for the imperial court and the common people?"

Invincible first.

Zhu Hao was speechless for a moment, because no one had asked this question before, but he did not admit defeat.

Because Zhu Hao's late grandfather was a master of Neo Confucianism in the Yongyeon Dynasty, and he was also the customizer of the "Three Obediences and Four Virtues" of the Longyeon Dynasty. Zhu Xi was posthumously named a "sage" by the Dynasty, so he couldn't lose.

Zhu Hao pondered for a long time, and in order to suppress Suning's momentum, he said loudly: "Confucianism is one of the books. The knowledge of sages will benefit the common people and benefit the world. Are you afraid of being punished by God for daring to learn the knowledge of sages?"

"Saint?" Su Ning sneered. He naturally knew that the saint Zhu Hao was referring to was his grandfather Zhu Xi. He had been in the Longyuan Dynasty for more than a month, and he naturally knew something about Zhu Xi's life. It can be said to be mixed, but Zhu Hao Xi's Neo-Confucian knowledge was beneficial to the rule of the court, so Zhu Xi's Neo-Confucian knowledge did not fail, and he was posthumously named a "sage".

However, there was only a half-destroyed skeleton left.

Suning continued: "There are no other questions. I just want to talk about the unity of knowledge and action. I wonder what Dean Zhu thinks of these four words? Is there anyone in your lineage of knowledge who can really achieve it?"

The words "integration of knowledge and action" left Zhu Hao completely speechless.He knew that if he continued, it would not only be as simple as a failure in the debate, but even his late grandfather, the sage Zhu Xi, would also be ashamed.

A debate cannot be fabricated out of thin air, nor can it be deduced. It can only be played with the chess pieces in the hand, but contrary to chess, the more chess pieces, sometimes the bigger the flaw.

Not to mention Zhu Xi, who has both reputation and reputation. As far as debate is concerned, his Neo-Confucian knowledge is really vulnerable, but he is not indifferent. Otherwise, the Longyuan Dynasty would not vigorously promote the "Three Obediences and Four Virtues".

Finally, Zhu Hao said dejectedly: "After seven days, you can just take that girl to school."

After he finished speaking, he turned and walked into the academy as weakly as a flower that had been wilted by the sun.

Suning also did not stay outside the gate of the academy.

The instructor continued to greet the students who already showed admiration on their faces to register and receive their number plates.

The soldiers of the patrol battalion couldn't calm down. After all, it was an extremely difficult matter for a peak monk to appear in the capital.

When he was away from the pair, someone called out to stop Suning.

It was a handsome young man, full of nobility and extraordinary bearing, followed by two men in gray clothes, with real energy flowing all over his body, obviously he was a martial artist with a high level.

"I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince." Su Ning cupped his hands.

The handsome young man said with interest: "How do you know that I am the crown prince?"

Su Ning smiled and said: "If there is a young man, he is dressed in simple clothes, but his temperament is unspeakable, and the two warriors accompanying him are full of vigor and vigilance, if I am in this situation, I still can't guess The identity of His Highness is really stupid, not to mention His Highness is full of bookishness and celebrity, so there is no doubt about it."

The prince gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Sure enough, it seems that the national teacher has not misjudged the person."

He continued: "I don't know if Brother Su has time to go to the Juxian Hall in Kyoto to taste a pot of fine wine with me?"

Juxian Hall is just across the street from Sheji Academy.

Together with King Xin's Tiance Mansion, it is listed as the Civil and Military Double Wall of the Longyuan Dynasty.

The crown prince led Suning into an elegant small courtyard of Juxian Hall, and the servants immediately brought a pot of fine wine and some side dishes.

It's not a drink, it's just a conversation.

The prince waved his hand to let the two guards leave, then poured a glass of wine for Suning and himself, toasted and said: "Do it first and respect it." He drank it down in one gulp.

Suning naturally toasted and drank, and returned the gift.

Crown Prince Qin Chong applauded and praised: "Brother Su and Dean Zhu's debate was really exciting. Even if they only chatted for a few words, it hit the nail on the head and made Dean Zhu unable to argue. It is truly unparalleled in the country."

Su Ning said modestly: "It's just heresy."

Immediately afterwards, he asked: "Your Highness, it shouldn't be a coincidence that you met me?"

Qin nodded, but didn't speak. He just took out a box from under the table and opened it, handed a green gourd inside to Suning, and said with a smile, "This is a gift for Brother Su."

The color of this gourd is like beautiful jade.

"Your Highness, this gift is too expensive, I can't accept it." Su Ning saw at a glance that the blue gourd was a high-ranking sword-raising gourd, and quickly declined it politely.

It is indeed too precious.

You know, raising sword gourds, especially those with a high rank, is the dream of countless sword cultivators, and it is also the second largest gold-selling cave for sword cultivators besides their natal flying sword refining.

According to Suning's knowledge, this sword-raising gourd is very likely to be one of the five sword-raising gourds formed by the fairy vine on Chaos Cliff, and it is priceless.

Countless sword cultivators dreamed of the five sword-raising gourds produced by Chaos Cliff Immortal.

"The national teacher asked me to forward it to you." Qin Zhong explained with a smile, and then threw the sword gourd to Suning with a slight toss.

Su Ning took the Yangjian Gourd and was stunned.

He really didn't know what the national teacher thought and meant.

Sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, what a god.

After hearing this, Suning did not refuse, and accepted it calmly, but he also knew that by accepting it, he would be involved in the temple turmoil in Kyoto.

A journey to become a fairy begins.

Qin Chong took out a book from his pocket, handed it to Suning and said, "This is the master's method of raising swords. Although Suning is not a swordsman, his swordsmanship is the best in the world. I believe he will carry it forward."

Suning naturally accepted.

Raise sword gourds to make the best use of them.

At the same time, in the National Teacher's Mansion, Wei Changjiu, the national teacher who was meditating in the quiet room, got up and walked out of the quiet room. After arranging some things for the steward, Yu Jian wandered away.

It will take five years for him to come back from this wandering.

This is something that everyone in the Longyuan Dynasty knows.
