Chapter 20 The epiphany where you came to me to sing, follow-up,
Kong Jijiu listened to Ning Chen's words and glanced at the Confucian classics Ning Chen was reading: "Have you learned enough five thousand words?"
"It's long gone." Ning Chen put down the book in his hand and replied.
"That's right. I was able to learn five thousand words in such a short time. I have the talent I had back then." Kong Jijiu will always be like this. When he praises others, he will never forget himself.
Ning Chen is used to this, and Ning Chen just wants to leave this place of right and wrong.
Not getting Ning Chen's approval, Kong Jijiu was not embarrassed at all.
Or to be precise, Kong Jijiu may not know what embarrassment is.
Anyway, in Kong Jijiu's eyes, it was others who were embarrassed.
"It's almost time to set off. Tomorrow you and I will find the other four people." Kong Jijiu stood up and said to Ning Chen.
"I'll go find them now for the sake of sacrifice," Ning Chen said proactively.
"No, I will go with you tomorrow. You are all the seeds of future Confucian and Taoist people, and you are worthy of my visit."
Although I don't know why Kong Jijiu suddenly became so kind, there is no harm in leaving this vortex of power as soon as possible.
Early the next morning, Ning Chen first went to the Imperial Academy to pick up Kong Jijiu, and then went to the palace with Kong Jijiu.
When Ning Chen and the others went there, the court had just finished.
After all, without Ning Chen in the court, there would be nothing to argue about.
Baiguan just crossed the Jinshui Bridge and happened to see Kong Jijiu and Ning Chen together.
"Kong offers wine." Seeing Kong offering wine, all the officials saluted.
Even Lin Tunxin is no exception.
It's just that Kong Jijiu's sudden appearance today has indeed aroused many people's speculation.
"Two to five people who are in the same class as Ning Chen, come forward and come to me. I will take you to Yunshan Academy." Kong Jijiu didn't let them guess for long, and directly stated the purpose of his visit.
When they heard about Yunshan Academy, everyone understood what was going on.
And counting the days, it is indeed time for the Wenshan Sea of Books to open.
Normally, the Wenshan Book Collection was a major event for the imperial court every year.
Entering the Wenshan Book Sea not only means that there may be a few more masters of the Confucian system.
This is also related to the dispute over who is the orthodox Confucian.
Whether it is to expand territory or govern a country, truly talented Confucian scholars are indispensable.
But because of the existence of Yunshan Academy, the imperial court was involved in networking and gathering talents.
There is always one step ahead of Yunshan Academy.
There is no other reason than that Yunshan Academy is the holy place and orthodoxy in the hearts of many Confucian scholars.
In particular, many Confucian scholars disdained working for the Wu Dynasty, which relied on military force to establish a country.
This concept was reversed to a certain extent until the emergence of Kong Jijiu.
The imperial court finally came to compete for many truly talented people during these years of imperial examinations.
It’s just that there are too many major events happening this year.
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 for the farewell ceremony in five days." Lin Dunxin said aloud.
The Minister of Rites also stood up 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.
Kong Jijiu jumped directly onto the dragon's head, and the golden dragon soared into the sky with golden light for thousands of miles.
"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.
Two to five people who were in the same class as Ning Chen were quite excited when they saw this scene.
This is because Kong Jijiu personally helped them find their way, which shows that Kong Jijiu attaches great importance to them.
Only Ning Chen felt that Kong Jijiu wanted everyone to see how far these seeds of future great scholars were from him.
The golden dragon sent him into the sky, and they, the future great scholars, could only climb the steps with difficulty 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 up the climb, except for Ning Chen, the remaining four people's bodies began to feel a little overwhelmed.
This is more than a thousand steps.
How can these elderly Confucian scholars endure this suffering?
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 to be proud of it. You use the martial arts method to climb up my Confucian ladder, which is a kind of blasphemy in itself." The old No. 2 said back to Ning Chen without any courtesy.
"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 No. 2 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 now.
"Then you just listen to what I have learned."
"Heaven is about to entrust this person with a great responsibility, but he must first strain his mind, strain his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, deplete his body, and mess up his actions. Therefore, if he is tempted to endure it, he will benefit what he cannot do."
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.
And for those who have not entered the level, it is possible to enter the level directly 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 this was truly a dream come true.
But how come Ning Chen had an epiphany after climbing a few steps?
This talent is too scary.
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, which scholar will choose to be on your 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.

The limelight must not be stolen by Lao Kong alone. There will be another update in the evening. It is convenient to vote for recommendations, and don’t forget to invest or something else. ---
