Taiping Inn

Li Xuandu slowly stood up and looked up at the sky.

Li Taiyi followed Li Xuandu's gaze, but saw nothing, and couldn't help asking, "What are you looking at?"

Li Xuandu asked irresponsible: "A small mountain of green hills is like a hidden dragon and lying on the tiger."

Li Taiyi narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

Su Xi didn't say anything, her eyes stayed at the bottom of the mountain.

Li Xuandu retracted his gaze and asked Su Ling: "A guest official was selected once in sixty years. Qingqiushan usually coexisted with two guest officials. Before the new guest official grew up, the old guest official was still in control. So who was the previous guest official? "" "

Su Ling was stunned and replied: "We all call him Mr. Wu."

"Mr. Wu." Li Xuandu asked again, "Which family is he from?"

Su Ling said, "Hu family."

Li Xuandu nodded slightly and said, "Since your ancestor Su Xi was suppressed into the Demon Locking Tower, it was the Hu family who gained power and the Su family lost power. This is very reasonable."

Su Ling said in surprise: "Why... how can you know this secret?"

Li Xuandu glanced at Su Xi: "The Taoist sects have the same spirit, don't forget that our Qingwei Sect and Miaozhen Sect have a very good relationship."

Su Ling suddenly said, "So that's it."

However, Su Ling is not a little girl who is ignorant of the world. At this time, she began to doubt Li Xuandu's true identity. Even if Miaozhen Sect revealed this secret to Qingwei Sect, no one could know it. This benefactor must have a very good identity in the Qingwei Sect.

Of course, Li Xuan would not care what Su Ling was thinking. He didn't want to show his identity, but he didn't want to cause trouble. It was not shameful. If Su Ling could really guess his identity, he wouldn't deny it.

Li Xuandu asked again: "Who is this Mr. Wu?"

Su Ling obviously hesitated for a moment and said, "He is a native of Qizhou, who was born in the Sheji Academy."

Li Xuandu said to himself: "I have met Mr. Yuzhai Huang Shiyuan, and another high-ranking priest who is very old and only accepts disciples to give lectures. Pei Yu is his disciple. Come on, only the last high priest left, who also seems to have his surname Wu?”

Li Taiyi interjected: "It is indeed the surname Wu, and it is called 'Wu Fengcheng'. He is the youngest among many high-ranking priests, but he is not confused about his age. But Mr. Wu has become a guest minister of Qingqiu Mountain before Jiazi. In terms of age, some Not up to that."

Li Xuandu pondered, "That's right, but the possibility that the two generations of Confucian scholars could not be ruled out in advance for Qingqiu Mountain."

...

The three university palaces of the Confucian school actually have predecessors. For example, the predecessor of the Wanxiang Academy was the Wanxiang Divine Palace, and the predecessor of the Sheji Academy was the famous Jixia Academy.

During its prosperous period, Jixia Academy accommodated various schools of thought among the hundreds of schools of thought: Taoism, Confucianism, Law, Famous, Military, Agricultural, Yin and Yang, and Light and Heavy schools. It brought together about a thousand wise men in the world, including the famous ones. People include the Confucian Sect’s sub-sages, Xun Qing, etc.

Especially Xun Qing, who had gone out and entered Jixia for decades and served as a priest to preside over the academy three times. However, later Confucian scholars met Xunzi quite coldly, believing that he was "high in talent and poor in learning" and "no sages." ", "I like to say something different but don't give in, and dare not take care of it for the sake of a noble argument

", some are similar to the Taoist sect's cold reception of Yang Zhu.

But no matter what, because of Jixia Academy, the Confucian School finally recognized Xun Qing. After the Confucian School was the only one in the world, the Jixia Academy abolished all schools of thought and changed its name to Sheji Academy.

The Sheji Academy inherits Xunqing's Taoist tradition, which is different from the Wanxiang Academy, which is known as the saint and the orthodox of the sub-saints, and the Tianxin Academy, which is the great achievement of the Neo-Confucian saints and the saints of the Heart.

Due to war and other reasons, the Sheji Academy is no longer located in the former site of the Jixia Academy, but has moved to Beihai Prefecture. However, the Sheji Academy is not located in the city like the Wanxiang Academy, but is built outside the city. Over the years, there have been constant wars in Qizhou. Whether it is the Qingyang Sect or other soldiers and bandits, no one dares to offend Sheji. The majesty of the academy.

The three high-ranking priests of the Sheji Academy were honored by Mr. Yuzhai Huang Shiyuan. Now that Mr. Yuzhai has gone to the imperial capital, he has come forward to preside over the daily affairs of the Academy on behalf of Meng Zheng, who is already half retired. As for the third high priest Wu Fengcheng, he did not show up often, and he was not in the academy for more than half a year.

However, on the early morning of the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, the high-ranking priest Wu Fengcheng appeared in the Sheji Academy.

Wu Fengcheng was one of the nine great priests of the Confucian sect in his forties. It can indeed be described as "young". His appearance and temperament are also very consistent with the imagination of famous scholars and great scholars. His temples are slightly frosted. A gentle smile, a clear appearance, a slight trace of the wind and frost of time, etc.

So when Wu Fengcheng was walking in the Sheji Academy, no matter his identity and age, they all saluted the high priest respectfully.

Wu Fengcheng kept nodding and greeting, without any airs, making people feel as if they were bathed in spring breeze.

This time he returned to Sheji Academy to meet Mr. Meng, who was also a high priest. Although the two did not have a master or apprentice, Mr. Meng's qualifications and age were there, and he should have met Mr. Meng's experience and age, both of which were reasonable and reasonable. See you at first sight.

Soon, Wu Fengcheng came to a hidden place, which was Meng Zheng’s favorite place to stay. Perhaps it was a common problem for the elderly. After getting older, he did not like to pay attention to those common things. Li Daoxu was like this, and Butian Sect retired. This is true for several old men, and so is Meng Zheng. Meng Zheng has said more than once that people have rise and fall, so there is no need to pay too much attention to the so-called dispute between Confucianism and Taoism, just let it go naturally. However, such words are almost equivalent to great rebellion in Confucianism, that is, Meng Zheng is highly respected and respected. Only then did he dare to speak so bluntly. If it were someone else, he would be punished. At the least, he would be expelled from the wall, and at the worst, his life would be in danger.

Wu Fengcheng had just walked into the yard outside the hiding. Before he could push the door to enter the building, he heard Meng Zheng's old voice coming from the hiding: "Stop, don't dirt the books all over the building."

Wu Fengcheng smiled bitterly and stopped moving forward and never entered the building.

Immediately afterwards, the window on the second floor of the Tibetan house was pushed open, revealing a figure full of white hair, which was the high priest Wu Jiu.

Wu Fengcheng took the initiative to speak, "Wansheng came back this time, because he wanted to discuss something with the old man..."

Before he could finish his words, Meng Zheng interrupted, "No need to say it, I will not agree. If you insist on doing this, I have no choice but to let me join you, that's all. cannot."

Wu Fengcheng said, "The Taoist sect is aggressive. If the Confucian sect is overturned, can the old man still stay out of the matter?"

Meng Zheng said expressionlessly:

"Did the Taoist sect never exist because of the Confucian sect? If the Confucian sect really could not exist in the world, it was definitely not because of foreign enemies. It would only be because later disciples have forgotten the teachings of the sages, which are unkind, unrighteous, unfaithful, and unfilial. Only then will it be unwilling to be tolerated by the world. If Confucian disciples keep in mind the teachings of saints, cultivate their self-cultivation, and be consistent in their knowledge and actions, they will continue to pass on the torch from generation to generation. Even if the land of China sinks, it will be difficult to eliminate the saints' sect's principles."

Wu Fengcheng said silently.

Meng Zheng continued, "You ask yourself, if the Confucian school is full of people as smart as you, even if it can flourish for a while, can it be passed down for thousands of years?"

After saying that, Meng Zheng did not give Wu Fengcheng the chance to continue speaking, so he closed the window directly.

Wu Fengcheng stood there silent for a long time, but did not enter Tibet in the end, but turned around and left.

Due to time reasons, Wu Fengcheng could not stay in the Sheji Academy for too long, and he had to rush back to Qingqiu Mountain.

At dusk, Wu Fengcheng came from Sheji Academy to Qingqiu Mountain Cave Heaven, just in time for the fox celebration and the selection of guest officials.

Wu Fengcheng looked at the main peak with brilliant lights from afar and sighed inwardly. Everything was in control, but I just hoped that there would be no changes.

Generally speaking, the Hu family and Su family in Qingqiu Mountain are the key. After the incident of the owner of Qingqiu Mountain and the fox woman Su Xi, the Su family, which originally dominated, had to give way to the Hu family. However, the Hu family has been weak for a long time and cannot sit firmly. In this case, the Hu family decided to use external forces to suppress the Su family, so the people from the Sheji Academy before Jiazi became guests of Qingqiu Mountain.

The Sheji Academy is not a Bodhisattva who saves the suffering, so he naturally has some intentions and takes this opportunity to infiltrate Qingqiu Mountain, intending to control the entire Qingqiu Mountain and make it a vassal force of the Sheji Academy.

However, there are differences in this matter, both within Qingqiu Mountain and within the Sheji Academy.

On this side of Qingqiu Mountain, the Hu family tends to enjoy the cool under the big trees, hoping to find a backer, even if they give up some freedom and sovereignty. After all, in the past thousand years, the Hu family has been suppressed by the Su family for most of the time. The Hu family wants to overwhelm the Su family in one fell swoop, which is an excellent opportunity.

The Su family refused. In addition to rejecting for the sake of rejection, the Su family also considered that the Su family had produced more than one immortal immortal. As long as the Su family could produce another immortal immortal, the situation would be completely different. Not to mention the distance, the Qingwei Sect, which is so close, just because of the emergence of Li Daoxu, has become a first-class sect that can be compared with Zhengyi Sect and Wudao Sect. If Qingqiu Mountain defected to Sheji Academy, then Sheji Academy would never let another immortal of immortality in the Su family, and trees would not grow under the tree. Even if the Sheji Academy changed its mind, the Hu family would definitely use the Sheji Academy to suppress the Su family in order to maintain its position.

Another thing is that if Qingqiushan no longer adheres to neutrality and instead stands in the Confucian school, it will inevitably involve the dispute between Confucianism and Taoism, then Qingqiushan is likely to become a victim of the dispute between the two families.

To take a step back, even if you really want to join the Confucian school, the Hu family cannot dominate the matter. This is because the Su family invited people from the Tianxin Academy to compete for the guest officials.

As for the Sheji Academy, the high priest, Meng Zheng, was opposed to it. The reason was very simple. Zi did not say that the strange powers were in chaos, and respected the ghosts and gods and kept them away. Mr. Yuzhai Huang Shiyuan's attitude was ambiguous, and only Wu Fengcheng and his father Wu Zhenyue insisted on promoting this matter.
