After Ning Chen finished speaking, the short and fat scholar had not said anything. Instead, Kong Jijiu put his hands on his hands and said with a smile: "Yes, that's right. As expected of the disciples I taught, he never suffers any disadvantages."
"Why, if I don't cooperate with your performance, I won't be allowed in, so I can only stand outside?" Kong Jijiu looked at the short and fat scholar and asked.
"Please." The short, fat scholar was quite civilized. He raised his hand and directly invited Kong Jijiu and the six of them to enter Yunshan Academy.
Ning Chen and the other five followed Kong Jijiu and entered Yunshan Academy together.
Ning Chen didn't feel much about Yunshan Academy, but the other four had a pilgrim mentality from the moment they entered.
Every step was taken with care, almost to the point of kneeling, kowtowing, and bowing to the ground.
After passing through layers of clouds and mist, Ning Chen and the others landed at the entrance of the academy.
The gate of Yunshan Academy is not as tall and luxurious as Ning Chen thought. On the contrary, it is very simple.
Several pieces of wood were rolled out to look like a gate, covered with straw, and under the straw was a wooden board.
It says Yunshan Academy.
Ning Chen glanced at these four words, as if he really saw academies built in the clouds, with scholars in them.
The sound of these scholars reading turned into clouds, patches of wind, and drops of rain...
Although the gate is not as magical as the plaque, but because of Haoran's righteousness, no matter how simple it is, it will make people feel that it is extremely noble.
Perhaps this is exactly what it is, reading is the cheapest noble thing.
Moreover, the gate of Yunshan Academy has no threshold.
This is also in line with what the Confucian sages said at that time: there is no distinction between education and distinction.
The Confucian sage’s teaching without distinction is true teaching without distinction, not just the human race.
Even if you are a non-human race, if you want to devote yourself to Confucianism and Taoism, Confucian sages will welcome you.
But if a non-human race wants to enter this door, the first thing they must do is to generate awe-inspiring righteousness.
Otherwise, you won't even be able to get in through this door.
Haoran's righteousness is harmless to humans, but to non-humans, the damage can be fatal.
Therefore, it is not an empty talk that those who have great righteousness will be immune to all evils.
At the same time, Haoran's righteousness is also a method used by humans to distinguish evil spirits.
There are Confucian masters in each of the nine gates of Fengjing City, and they have spread the awe-inspiring righteousness to test everyone who enters the nine gates.
Once an evil spirit is discovered, he will be killed on the spot without mercy.
After passing through the gate of Yunshan Academy, the clouds and fog completely dissipated in front of my eyes.
The internal situation of Yunshan Academy was completely displayed in front of Ning Chen and the others.
After passing the gate, in the middle is the statue of the Confucian sage.
The statue of the Confucian sage is nine feet six inches tall, with his hands naturally folded in front of him.
Nine feet six inches, it is said that this is the true height of the Confucian sage.
As for why the Confucian saints were not built into the highest statues, it is not that Yunshan Academy cannot do it.
Because of the achievements of the Confucian saints, even building a statue of Ruyun will not be able to demonstrate his great achievements.
On the contrary, building a life-size statue will allow people to admire the greatness of the Confucian saint.
The statue of the Confucian sage stands there. It has not absorbed a single bit of the awe-inspiring righteousness. Instead, it has been releasing the awe-inspiring righteousness outwards.
This is not something Wenshan Academy did deliberately.
Because after Yunshan Academy repaired the statue, the statue has been releasing great righteousness.
This has been the case for hundreds of years.
As for the reason and where this awe-inspiring righteousness comes from, Yunshan Academy does not know.
In the end, it can only be attributed to the fact that the greatness of the Confucian sage still belongs to the descendants of Kuize.
Facing this, the most holy master who led the human race to real prosperity after the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
Kong Jijiu, Ning Chen and others put away all their emotions and worshiped the Confucian sage respectfully as disciples.
Ning Chen also respected this Confucian sage.
According to the history of this world, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors only brought the human race out of the mire of darkness.
Let humans have a place to live and escape the tragic situation of being reduced to food.
The emergence of Confucian sages completely reversed the decline of the human race.
Confucian sages opened schools, passed down their teachings, and enlightened the human race.
Allowing mankind to build one prosperous civilization after another.
The Confucian sage himself led three thousand disciples to fight in the north and south.
The barbarians, monsters, witches, savages, etc. were driven out of the human settlements one by one.
In the end, he led his disciples on the road to slaying gods and demons.
In the end, the Confucian saint never returned, and the demons were also completely eliminated from heaven and earth.
It can be said that the Confucian sages have at least half of the credit for the current glory and prosperity of the human race.
After paying homage to the Confucian sage, Ning Chen and the others were taken to the living area inside the academy.
The living area of Yunshan Academy is very large.
Its vastness is almost as large as two Forbidden City.
The reason why it needs to be so large is because Yunshan Academy has always maintained a number of about 20,000 disciples.
As for Yunshan Academy, the number of disciples outside is much greater than 20,000.
With so many people living together, their living area naturally needs to be very large.
The living area of Yunshan Academy has no atmosphere at all.
Even in some restaurants and taverns, what comes out is not the hustle and bustle of the market, but the sound of Lang Lang reading.
Here there is only the sound of Lang Lang's reading, and these sounds of reading converge into wisps of awe-inspiring righteousness above the living area.
It is difficult to practice Confucianism and Taoism here without getting twice the result with half the effort.
Ning Chen didn't feel anything about this. Ning Chen really couldn't bear to have Ning Chen study here every day.
On the contrary, it was the other four people whose eyes were full of envy.
Ning Chen and the others were guests from afar, so they were not placed in the living area of ordinary disciples.
Instead, they were arranged in the living area of the academy teachers.
There are about two hundred teachers in Yunshan Academy.
The living conditions are much more comfortable than those of the disciples.
This is not because these teachers are greedy for enjoyment. On the contrary, these are donated by their disciples.
Just to show respect for teachers.
As for the daily meals of these disciples and teachers, etc., they are all transported up from the mountain.
There is no such thing as fasting in Confucianism and Taoism, so you still have to eat when you need to.
After the short and fat scholar settled Ning Chen and the others, Kong Jijiu was invited by the short and fat scholar to go to another place.
Ning Chen doesn't care where Kong Jijiu goes.
He glanced at the four colleagues in the same room, who were holding books in the room and looking at them in fascination.
Ning Chen opened the door directly and went out.
I came here to avoid the limelight, not to study hard.
"Don't talk about this great righteousness, you can still breathe quite smoothly." Ning Chen came outside the house, took two deep breaths, and murmured.
The teacher's living area was not much to see. After leaving the teacher's living area, Ning Chen went directly to the students' living area.
Looking at the students walking one by one, they all have words in their mouths.
Ning Chen felt that it should be photographed and then sent back to his own time. The title was the daily life of top academics.
Ning Chen thought it would be nice to just look at this kind of life, but it would be too miserable for him to live here.
After walking around for a while, I found a restaurant and went there. Ning Chen planned to find something to eat first.
Ning Chen didn't know whether Kong Jijiu could help with food loss, but he was really hungry now.
"To say that Confucians treat guests with courtesy and not even give them a bite to eat is a bit too much."
After finding a seat near the water and sitting down, Ning Chen found the waiter.
Pointing to the wooden sign hanging on the wall, Ning Chen ordered seven or eight dishes, and then asked for a bottle of wine.
"How much?" In order to prevent being ripped off by the Confucian businessmen, Ning Chen asked the price first.
"The total is three hundred taels." The waiter lowered his head and counted.
"What!"
"Why don't you go and grab it!"
