Therefore, the matter of Wenshan Shuhai was forgotten by everyone.
Kong Jijiu came today, and many people reacted.
"Sacrifice wine, I remember Wen Shan Shu Hai, shouldn't it be five days later? I have already ordered the Ministry of Etiquette to prepare to send off the ceremony wine in five days." Lin Dunxin said aloud.
The Minister of Rites also stood up at this moment and said: "The Ministry of Rites has basically prepared the wine offering. Please wait a few days for the wine offering."
Everyone could see that neither Lin Dunxin nor the Minister of Rites lied.
This shows that Lin Dunxin always remembers this matter.
This is obviously one of the reasons why Lin Tunxin became the left prime minister.
"There's no need to do these useless rituals. I'll just take the five of them there. Just go and do whatever you need to do." Kong Jijiu said very free and easy.
"Everything depends on the arrangement of the wine ceremony." Lin Dunxin still respected Kong Jijiu very much.
In fact, not only Lin Dunxin, but also few people in the court did not respect Kong Jijiu.
After Ning Chen and five others stood up, Kong Jijiu said loudly: "There should be a golden dragon here to send me into the sky."
roar!
With a dragon's roar, a golden dragon on the palace's sacred path was directly resurrected.
The Kongji wine went straight up the dragon's head, and the golden dragon soared straight into the sky, with a golden light thousands of miles away.
"Kong Jijiu's strength is really getting stronger and stronger."
"Yes, if Kong Jijiu reaches the third level, we can really compete with Yunshan Academy."
"Maybe by then, Kong Jijiu can bring Wenshan Shuhai to our side, and then we won't have to travel so far anymore."
All Ning Chen heard in his ears were praises for Kong Jijiu, but in his heart Ning Chen was very disdainful of Kong Jijiu's performance.
"I should have thought of it a long time ago. The main thing about being amiable is that he wants everyone to see how strong he is."
Kong Jijiu, who had already reached the sky, stood on the clouds and said loudly again: "You are all the seeds of future Confucian scholars. Today I will give you a good sign, and you will rise higher and higher!"
As Kong Jijiu finished speaking, a golden staircase stretched from below to the cloud where Kong Jijiu stood.
The two to five people who were in the same class as Ning Chen were very excited when they saw this scene.
This is because Kong Jijiu personally helped them find a way, which shows that Kong Jijiu attaches great importance to them.
Only Ning Chen felt that Kong Jijiu wanted everyone to see how far apart these future great scholars were from him.
The golden dragon sent him flying into the sky, and they, the future great scholars, could only climb the stairs arduously to stand with him.
In this way, a judgment can be made.
But what can you do if you don’t climb? If you don’t climb, you can’t reach the sky.
Facing the envious looks of countless Hanlin officials, Ning Chen and the five of them began to climb the stairs arduously.
It was fine when I was excited at first.
But halfway through the climb, except for Ning Chen, the remaining four people felt that their bodies were a little too much.
This is more than a thousand steps.
How can these elderly Confucian scholars endure this hardship?
Apart from Ning Chen, the youngest among the top five is Tanhua, who is ninety-nine years old this year.
One can imagine what more than a thousand steps means to them.
"If you can't crawl, step aside." Ning Chen, who was walking steadily behind, saw that the people in front had stopped and couldn't help but shout to the people in front.
"You rely on your own martial arts, what's the point of being proud of? You use the martial arts method to climb up my Confucian ladder, which in itself is a kind of blasphemy." The old No. 2 said to Ning Chen.
"You can think of problems that Kong Jijiu can't think of. Believe it or not, as long as I use a little strength now, I will fall off this great righteousness." Ning Chen directly replied to the old second place candidate.
The old No. 2 candidate was choked by Ning Chen, but he didn't know how to refute.
"Seeing how difficult it is for you to climb, I'll give you some of the things I just realized."
"Climbing the stairs, what can you realize?" Tanhua also joined the ranks of criticizing Ning Chen.
Although they already know that they are not as good as Kong Jijiu, they cannot admit that they are worse than Ning Chen.
Especially Ning Chen, who is still a martial artist.
"Then you just listen to what I have learned."
“When Heaven is about to entrust a man with a great responsibility, he must first strain his mind and will, strain his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, deplete his body, and confuse his actions. Therefore, tempting his mind and forbearance will benefit him beyond his ability.”
As soon as Ning Chen said these words, his righteousness suddenly shook and boiled.
Next came the Confucian and Taoist practitioners with great righteousness, and the direction of the Imperial College.
Everyone's awe-inspiring righteousness surged towards Ning Chen.
All the awe-inspiring righteousness rushed to Ning Chen's feet, directly lifting Ning Chen's body into the sky.
"Epiphany!"
“This is an epiphany!”
"This is the most rare enlightenment in the Confucian practice system!"
Seeing Ning Chen's current state, everyone below was shocked.
There are many officials who practice the Confucian system, and even those who do not practice it also know a lot about the Confucian system.
Especially this epiphany.
For practitioners of the Confucian spiritual practice system, this is a rare opportunity.
In the Confucian system, the evaluation of enlightenment is very high.
Generally speaking, the slightest enlightenment is equivalent to ten years of hard study for a qualified person.
For those who have not entered the level, it is possible to directly enter the level and be born with great righteousness.
Even if you cannot directly enter the product to give birth to Haoran Zhengqi, it will greatly increase the probability of entering the product.
So I suddenly realized that it was a truly coveted opportunity.
But how come Ning Chen had an epiphany after climbing a few steps?
And looking at Ning Chen’s level of enlightenment, it’s obviously not the lightest one.
At this moment, Ning Chen was bathed in the awe-inspiring righteousness, and felt that his whole body felt more comfortable than ever before.
Looking at Kong Jijiu standing on the other side, Ning Chen felt even more comfortable.
You set up a stage for me to sing, the limelight cannot be stolen by you alone.
What's more, my sudden enlightenment as a warrior is such a mockery and humiliation to all the scholars in the world.
When the time comes, the scholar will still choose to stand on his side.
Just when Ning Chen was thinking about this, the awe-inspiring righteousness around him suddenly began to penetrate into Ning Chen's body.
After being drilled like this, Ning Chen felt a little panicked.
In martial arts and Confucianism, the first stage is to cultivate Qi.
But strength and righteousness are really two different things.
Although I have never heard of such a thing as reproductive isolation among major spiritual systems.
But are Haoran's righteousness and Jinqi really compatible?
If they are not compatible, will they explode?
But the Haoran's righteousness that had penetrated into the body would not stop drilling into Ning Chen's body just because of Ning Chen's rejection.
They still drilled very happily.
Chapter 21: True Talking King
Haoran's righteousness made him feel more and more happy, as if Ning Chen's body was a bottomless pit.
Fortunately, Ning Chen didn't notice anything strange about his body.
"Could it be that Jin Qi and Haoran's righteousness don't conflict with each other and can they still be compatible?"
Ning Chen expressed deep doubts about this.
Just when he was thinking about whether the two were compatible, Ning Chen suddenly discovered that his eyes could actually see what was going on inside his body.
"What's going on? Are you looking inside?"
Ning Chen was really shocked when he suddenly saw the situation inside his body.
"After reaching the eighth level of martial arts, can you do internal vision? Never heard of it?"
Suddenly being able to see inside must have nothing to do with Haoran's righteousness.
It’s just about martial arts, does it have this function?
Ning Chen really didn't know it in detail.
Regardless of whether this is normal or not, it is definitely a good thing for Ning Chen to be able to see what is going on in his body now.
Ning Chen observed the relationship between the strength and righteousness in his body, and then came to a conclusion.
The relationship between Jin Qi and Haoran Zhengqi is very similar to the relationship between a strong martial artist and a strong Confucianist.
When you turn a corner and scold me from a distance, I might not be able to react, so let's just forget about it.
But if you get close to me and still scold me in a corner, although I don't know what it means, it does not prevent me from overcoming you with force.
Haoran Zhengqi is like this now, stay away from Jinqi, and everyone can live in peace.
The closer the distance is, the stronger the energy directly surpasses Haoran's righteousness.
It is not accurate to describe it as excessive.
To be precise, Jin Qi is like fire, while Haoran Zheng Qi is like oil.
After the two blend, the energy will burn even more rapidly.
Ning Chen can clearly sense this through the eighth level of martial arts and the exercise of strength on his own muscles.
"There doesn't seem to be any conflict between the two, but rather they complement each other."
"So it is said that the Confucian sage cultivated three thousand red flower sticks in one night to spread the teachings for himself. This may not be just a legend.
It is quite promising to stimulate the growth of warriors with great righteousness.
But judging from the current situation, I am afraid that only the level of Confucian Sage can give birth to warriors.
For other Confucian practitioners, let alone whether they are willing or not, first of all, their personal attributes of Haoran Zhengqi cannot be the same as the strength attributes of Wufu."
"What if we go the other way and let Confucian cultivators practice martial arts?"
"This is even more impossible. They despise martial arts so much, how could they turn to martial arts again.
And whether you can succeed in practicing Confucianism first and then martial arts is probably a question."
To sum it up, Ning Chen feels that this is purely a matter of talent.
Maybe I am not unique, but I am definitely a rare genius.
In the end, the smart Haoran Zhengqi realized that when he was weak, he might not be Jin Qi's opponent.
So they obediently hid in corners where their strength would not cover them for the time being.
Haoran's righteousness stabilized, and Ning Chen's body burst out with Haoran's energy from the inside out.
All the foreign little sluts who surrounded Ning Chen and wanted to get into Ning Chen's body were driven away.
"It's ready!"
"Ning Chen has reached the ninth level of Confucianism and Taoism!"
Seeing Ning Chen's situation at this time, those Confucian and Taoist practitioners all understood what was going on.
But soon, they also thought of a problem.
That is, is Ning Chen considered a Confucian practitioner now, or a brainless martial artist back then?
The four people who were still on the steps, looking at Ning Chen stupidly, finally understood what shame was.
They were still struggling to climb the steps here, but Ning Chen suddenly had an epiphany.
The key is for Ning Chen to practice martial arts first and then Confucianism.
So in theory, the warrior they despised the most broke into their world of intellectuals.
And then they were the first to get the goods before they, the intellectuals.
The warriors who realized it later did not feel proud at this moment.
What they are thinking about most now is that Ning Chen is not considered a member of their martial arts camp.
"It should count. After all, he entered the ninth level of martial arts first, and then entered the ninth level of Confucianism and Taoism. There must be something first come first, right?"
"I also think it should be counted. Whoever comes first is the real father, and whoever comes after him can only be regarded as uncle."
"Well, that's right. So Ning Chen still has to be considered a member of our martial arts, but he has joined Confucianism and Taoism. He is trying to rectify the name of our martial arts. Ning Chen is worthy of being the light of our martial arts!
"
The warriors who had figured it out all raised their chests at this moment and looked at the Confucian and Taoist practitioners arrogantly.
"That's right, that's right. I finally lived up to my profound meaning. Having such an epiphany is not in vain for me to lay out such a big picture." Kong Jijiu's praise, as expected, reached everyone's ears.
He had already taken most of the scenery away from him, so Ning Chen didn't mind giving some of it to Kong as a sacrificial wine.
Moreover, Ning Chen still has questions later and wants to ask Kong Jijiu.
"Thank you, Master Jijiu, for setting the stage for me so that students can enter the ninth level so easily."
A little bit of profit is a little bit of profit, but it must only be a little bit.
What should be emphasized must be emphasized, such as 'setting up the stage', such as 'so easy'.
"Since you have been admitted, then you can go to Yunshan Academy on your own and hone your own awe-inspiring righteousness." Kong Jijiu said to Yu Ningchen while standing in the clouds.
When Ning Chen heard this, he resolutely relented: "Although the student has reached the top grade, he is still far behind Master Kong. Please ask Master Kong to guide the students and learn more about Haoran's righteousness."
Kong Jijiu nodded: "Since you are so eager to learn, I will teach you."
Seeing the satisfied Kong Jijiu, Ning Chen couldn't help but complain crazily in his heart.
Ning Chen doesn't even know which direction Yunshan Academy is in the southeast, northwest, and the distance is obviously not too close.
By the time I got there, the day lilies were probably cold.
"The understanding of the four of you is still a little bit behind. Since there is nothing to understand, we won't waste time." It was such a mess in the limelight that Kong Jijiu didn't want to waste time anymore.
When the four people on the steps heard Kong Jijiu's words, they all felt like eggplants beaten by frost.
Kong Jijiu brought all four of them above his cloud.
Then Kong Jijiu started chanting louder and louder!
After Kong Jijiu said a word, the six people left the imperial city directly.
After Kong Jijiu recited several times in succession, Ning Chen also discovered it.
Kong Jijiu took the five of them, and the distance they moved each time was two hundred miles.
Ning Chen was sure that this distance would definitely not be the limit of Kong Jijiu.
But this ability is really awesome.
If you really brag about your awesome skills, you will be thousands of miles away.
Can he stop this bragging ability? Ning Chen knows it is possible.
And this method of blocking is actually not difficult, either directly destroying Kong Jijiu Chanting.
Either your strength is about the same as Kong Jijiu's, so just eliminate his magic on you.
Of course, even if the strength is not as good as Kong Jijiu, some of it can still be eliminated, it just depends on how much.
After about fifteen teleportations, an academy building that existed in the clouds appeared in front of Ning Chen.
Looking at this academy building that really existed in the clouds, Ning Chen really understood how powerful Confucianism was.
It doesn't matter if you brag to the sky, but if you brag to the academy, you are the real talker.
Chapter 22 Why should I cooperate with you [Please collect, read, and recommend]
Not only was Ning Chen shocked, the other four were also shocked by Yunshan Academy.
They are all Confucian scholars, so they have naturally heard of the existence of Yunshan Academy.
In their eyes, Yunshan Academy is also a holy place.
But in the final decision, they still chose the imperial examination.
At the same time, when they choose the imperial examination route, they lose the qualification to enter Yunshan Academy.
This is the rule of Yunshan Academy, and it is also the confidence of Yunshan Academy.
It just lets you choose one of the two, and only gives you one chance.
"To have such a vast academy suspended in the clouds, you have to be so awesome." Just as the other four were shocked and sighing, Ning Chen's voice came, directly destroying the shocking feeling.
Although the word bragging is new to them.
But we are all scholars, and if we understand it a little, we will understand the irony in it.
"Ning Chen, this is the Holy Land of Confucianism and Taoism. Now that you have reached the level of Confucianism and Taoism, you should have a newfound respect for saints." The second-ranked scholar became angry and scolded Ning Chen righteously.
"I must be in awe of saints. I am talking about this academy. This academy was not established by a saint, right? I remember that the Confucian saints did not establish any academies." Ning Chen counterattacked unceremoniously.
road.
"Even if this place was not created by the Confucian saints, it is the Confucian saints who are enshrined here, and it is the place with the largest number of Confucian saints' books. This place represents the orthodoxy of Confucianism and Taoism, which means it represents the Confucian saints!" Tanhua also joined in at this time, crusading against the Confucian saints.
Ning Chen's procession.
Ning Chen chuckled: "This is the first time I heard that Confucian saints still need to be represented. How much do you have to look down on Confucian saints to think that an academy can represent Confucian saints."
"Ning Chen, you are changing the concept. You are really insulting the Confucian saint." Tanhua was so angry that her neck turned red.
"Is this what you said to me about Jijiu Jiu?" Ning Chen ignored Tanhua at all and asked Kong Jijiu with a smile.
Whether they are ranked second or ranked third in the rankings, in Ning Chen's opinion, their combat effectiveness is not at the same level as his own.
It’s not that their knowledge is not good, it’s mainly that they take Confucianism and Taoism too seriously.
"Ning Chen is right. If Yunshan Academy wants to represent Confucian saints, they are still far behind." Kong Jijiu confirmed Ning Chen's words, and at the same time, his tone was full of disdain for Yunshan Academy.
Ning Chen said the four of them dared to refute, but Kong Jijiu said they really didn't dare to refute.
Whether it is imperial grade or Confucian and Taoist grade, Kong Jijiu is far above them.
Kong Jijiu glanced at Yunshan Academy towering in the clouds: "Do you really think it was built in the clouds?"
This is towering in the clouds, why should this be serious or not?
"Think about its name and you should understand it." Kong Jijiu reminded the five people.
"Yunshan Academy."
"Yunshan Academy."
After repeating it twice, Ning Chen's eyes suddenly lit up and he instantly understood what was going on.
"Not only can I brag, but I can also pretend to be awesome." Ning Chen sneered, and his opinion of Yunshan Academy could not help but lower a bit.
The other four obviously haven't figured out the mystery yet, so they all looked at Ning Chen.
"It is difficult to build an academy on the clouds.
But it is much easier to hide a mountain.
After all, it’s just a matter of blowing a breath.”
Ning Chen was not stingy and explained to the four of them.
After listening to Ning Chen's explanation, the four of them immediately understood.
The so-called academy built on the clouds is actually just built on the mountain.
It is very difficult to build an academy on the cloud, very difficult.
But it would be much easier to build the academy on the top of a mountain and then hide the mountain.
And when it comes to operation, it's just like Ning Chen said, just blow on it and it'll be fine.
"I still want to represent the Confucian saint, but don't embarrass the Confucian saint." Ning Chen didn't forget to add one sentence.
"My little friend, your mouth is really too vicious." As soon as Ning Chen's voice fell, a tall scholar with a very stocky body, wearing a wide robe and long sleeves and a white scholar's shirt, appeared in front of Ning Chen and the others.
Look at the rather stocky scholar opposite, and then look at Kong Jijiu.
Ning Chen felt that the reason why Kong Jijiu was unwilling to stay at Yunshan Academy might be because they had different outlooks.
"Little friend, Yunshan Academy has always been built on the mountain. It has never been said that it is built on the clouds.
The reason why the mountains are covered with clouds is because this in itself is a test for students who want to enter school.
There is a road in Yunshan called [Diligence is the Path], which is a test for students." The short, fat scholar said to Ning Chen.
Ning Chen did not leave to respond, but looked at Kong Jijiu.
Kong Jijiu gave Ning Chen one. You can do whatever you want. The look in my eyes immediately made Ning Chen energetic.
"Then you called it Shanshan Academy, okay? What did you call Yunshan Academy? Is this obviously a deliberate misunderstanding?"
"The name of Yunshan Academy was built here more than a hundred years earlier than Yunshan Academy. It is not intentionally misleading." The short, fat scholar Fu explained.
"You can change your name. It's too late now." Ning Chen suggested positively.
Kong Jijiu also echoed: "I think it's okay. The Peak Academy is simple and direct. Scholars should be simpler."
After hearing what Kong Jijiu said, Ning Chen and the short, fat scholar both silently rolled their eyes at Kong Jijiu.
It wouldn't be against the law to say this from anyone else's mouth, but to say it from Kong Jijiu's mouth is really against the law as much as possible.
Among scholars, he is the most flashy.
He also makes it simple for others.
"It seems that my little friend has no idea about our Yunshan Academy. Why don't I make an exception and let you take the [Diligence as Path] once." The short, fat scholar invited Ning Chen and said.
