Chapter 296 If you want to overturn the sea and the river, why should you worry? Just drive the chariot and drive slowly!

There was a biting wind in the air, and the first snowfall of winter seemed particularly cold.

Tian's chariot stopped outside Jixiamen.

The girl in the purple skirt looked with her crystal eyes at the two white jade steles that were slightly stained with white frost, and looked at the inscriptions of Meng Ke and Mo Zhai on them. She hesitated again and again, but finally did not stop.

The guard holding the sword stopped outside the academy, and Tian Si faced the cold wind and the strange eyes of the bachelors coming and going for the first time as a descendant of divine blood.

I walked into Jixia Academy, where all teachers are taught without distinction and are compatible with hundreds of schools of thought.

She came here this time to represent the Tian family and meet with Mr. Ji Qiu, one of the most famous Jixia scholars in recent times.

He also invited him to join the world, serve the king, and govern the land.

As mentioned earlier, this is a place for academic exchange open to everyone.

Whether they are descendants of divine blood or ordinary people, they can understand its teachings and find an extraordinary path forward.

After all, it is a school established under the jurisdiction of the Qi Palace. Although the people in power and governance are academic experts like Meng Ke, even the Qi King cannot interfere.

But in reality, Jixia is still a powerful force in Qidi in name only.

However, most of the divine blood nobles have always been dismissive of this academy, and if King Qi does not come forward, they cannot interfere with the operation of this academy.

But the same.

Except for a few people such as Han Fei, the descendants of the divine blood who come and go in this academy are extremely rare.

Tian Si is one of them.

She is that rare anomaly.

Even though the Tian family of Shangqing was born into a prominent family in Qi, her ancestors had a noble bloodline that had lost the title of "king", but she was particularly interested in the extraordinary ways proposed by ordinary people.

It is even more serious than studying the divine blood flowing in one's own body.

Mr. Han Feihan, a Legalist scholar who came from the distant land of Sanjin, had the divine blood of the king flowing in his veins. However, he did not give up the pursuit of knowledge because of the dignity of the king's blood.

He chose another difficult path, advocating legal principles and rules. Because of this, he was unable to advocate his own doctrine in his homeland.

So after traveling through mountains and rivers, we arrived at Jixia.

In this academy, there are many people like Mr. Han.

In Tian Si's eyes, in order to study doctrines and achieve extraordinary things, their talents and efforts are unique among their peers.

It is a miracle that a descendant of the divine blood can't achieve as long as it continues the afterglow of its ancestors.

The divine blood is destined to be a king, a duke, a minister, and a scholar at every level.

Without the infusion of the king's blood to purify their own bloodline, it would be impossible for the descendants of the divine blood to break through the upper limit of their own bloodline throughout their lives.

Born in the Qingtian family, Tian Si is ranked among the top Qings, and she is a direct lineage. If she boils her blood to the extreme, she will be comparable to the leaders of hundreds of sects.

However, it would be a tragedy if people do not even have any further prospects.

Tian Si is thirsty for knowledge, and even more eager to one day become a saint in heaven or a saint on earth.

Just like the first ancestor of Jiang Qi, the master on earth, the Taoist master who filled Linzi with purple energy, and Mr. Ji Zi who could possibly achieve this step.

That kind of person or god is the target she pursues.

"gentlemen."

"If it were you, what would you do?"

Tian Si's eyebrows were drooped and she couldn't see clearly what was in her heart.

As a direct descendant of the Tian family, she knew very well why the Tian family wanted to meet Ji Qiu, the great sage from Jixia who was currently in the limelight.

Because it is said that the king of Qi is already somewhat dissatisfied with Jixia.

In this ancient northern land, the king of Qi has the right to speak out.

In that battle of blood and fire, he personally beheaded or took off a person who respected the king's crown.

Now, thousands of years have passed, and those former kings have either turned into fleeting smoke, or have sworn their divine blood and become ancient clans loyal to Qi.

The King of Qi is the supreme will of Qi.

In the past, he insisted on going his own way and wanted to make Jixia stand tall and towering.

Then even if the ministers and even the ancient Grand Dukes united together, they would not be able to disobey his will.

but,

This is all in the past.

When the King of Qi was no longer willing to let Jixia stand tall and let the ordinary people's academic excellence appear so supreme again.

Then Jixia will cease to exist sooner or later.

In this year, almost half of the bachelors in the middle and lower classes in Jixia have been influenced by the descendants of the divine blood to one degree or another.

The Jixia School established by the Zhuzi had many scholars who advocated serving the divine blood and using the doctrines they learned to govern this chaotic era.

After these days of brewing, the King of Qi's malice and divine blood attack came at once, causing many bachelors from all over the country to feel shaken.

The ordinary people of Qi didn't know, but the scholars from other countries who came from other distant lands to study knew very well what other ancient countries were like in this land ruled by Emperor Zhou.

Being able to serve the Qi State, stand side by side with the ordinary nobles, serve as an official, and be in charge of the lives of countless ordinary people who are weaker than themselves.

In this era, for ordinary people who do not have the blood of gods, they are already unspeakably powerful.

The courage of a strong man wielding a sword and drawing an edge against a stronger man is commendable, but no matter what, we have to admit that these are only a minority.

More people.

Even if he studies the most superior doctrines, his essence is still to look downward and shake his fist at the weaker ones.

This is human nature.

It is precisely because of this that it is necessary for so-called sages to be born to extinguish this tendency and completely bring order to the chaos.

Jixia has been established for so many years, and the strength it has accumulated is by no means weak.

Even if it is Qi Di, it will be almost impossible to overthrow it without King Qi.

Just like what King Qi said.

Raising tigers brings disaster!

But even so, in the face of such fluctuations, none of Jixia's disciples and great sages showed up to quarrel with the King of Qi.

Because until now, what these divine blood nobles have done, in the final analysis, has not crossed that bottom line.

Jixia was strong, but not strong enough to overthrow Qi or even replace Zhou.

This is true even if all the hundreds of schools and holy places of learning in the Seven Kingdoms are included.

They are enduring.

Endure this hard-won peace and the precious opportunity to infinitely improve yourself.

As long as there is no crisis hanging over their heads, scholars and sages will not give up Jixia, which has been run for a long time and has become a holy place of learning for ordinary people.

However, some people can't sit still.

They want to follow that line, explore further, and give it a try.

Try to look at those great sages who opened schools and taught disciples and were among the disciples.

Is it as indestructible and difficult to win over as their reputation?

Although there are no lights or shadows of swords, the sharpest blades that can kill people are often hidden in the invisible.

Tian Si stepped into Jixia.

She walked along the ancient road to the cluster of ancient wooden lofts painted in vermilion, and entered the school with the word "Taiping" hanging on it.

At this time, Ji Qiu, who was introduced to the Taoist Scriptures and integrated into the Mending Heaven Scripture, happened to have nothing to do and was giving lectures in the hall.

Today, he is dressed in a simple white robe, his temperament has lost its edge and has gradually become ordinary. The only thing he has is his shining eyes, which can be said to be a return to nature.

His eyes met the girl in purple skirt outside the door, but he moved away after only a moment.

Tian Si didn't speak either. She just found an open space in the hall, sat down cross-legged, and listened quietly to Ji Qiu's explanation.

The snow outside the window was still falling, but the young man's mellow voice, which did not match his age, had an ups and downs in tone, without pausing too much.

It belongs to the essence of the Taiping Sutra, as well as the master's idea of ​​universal unity, Meng Ke's idea that the people are more important than the king, and Mo Zhai's sacrifice of one's life for righteousness and other principles.

In this young man's mouth, everything was picked up at his fingertips, and he said it eloquently, concisely and down to the original meaning, making it easy for people to understand, almost like a enlightenment.

In more than a year, Ji Qiu's reputation has already been established, so every time he gives lectures, the seats are always packed.

Among the scholars, he is the youngest and the most knowledgeable!

Under such a big country, it has been said many times by many scholars that he should do his duty without mercy!

Until, an hour later.

This lecture is the end of it.

As a distinguished scholar stood up, he bowed his hands to the young man in white robe, then crossed the threshold and left, leaving Tian Si alone.

Only then did Ji Qiu's eyes fall on her.

The girl wearing a purple skirt is reserved and noble. She is the kind of top-notch person who can be seen at a glance among the crowd.

And her identity is even more special.

Ji Qiu certainly recognized Tian Si.

Not only do they know each other, but they are also relatively familiar with her. In a sense, this girl even deserves to be called his disciple.

Because I have been giving lectures in Ji Qiu for more than a year.

The girl is never absent, and she is always one of the most serious people.

Coupled with her identity and her cultivation qualifications, which allowed her to practice Qi successfully in this era from scratch, Ji Qiu was quite impressed by her.
