Everyone who had been sitting silently by the stream now greeted Liang Yan with smiles.
At one time, five forces actually extended invitations to him.
Liang Yan was surprised by this.
It was obviously his first day to come to this school to attend lectures, but why were these people more enthusiastic than the other, trying to win him over to their side?
Although this scene surprised him, Liang Yan made a decision quickly.
I saw him smiling slightly, cupping his fists and saluting everyone.
"Thank you fellow Taoists for your warm invitation. Since we are classmates, we are destined to be together, so why should we separate ourselves from each other?"
After saying that, he glanced around and quickly found a relatively empty spot in the crowd.
Without hesitation, he came directly to the open space, pointed with his hand, and there was a futon on the ground, and slowly sat down.
When everyone saw this, they couldn't help but look disappointed.
However, since Liang Yan did not choose any force to join, they were not dissatisfied. They glared at each other and returned to their positions one after another.
At this time, there is still a short time before class begins.
Liang Yan was curious, glanced around him, and found a young man looking at him with a smile.
This person is special. Like him, he is alone and has no cliques in this school.
If Liang Yan hadn't chosen this empty location, there wouldn't be a single person within ten feet of this person.
"Fellow Taoist, are there flowers on my face?" Liang Yan asked with a smile.
The man shook his head and didn't speak, but he said through a message: "I'm just curious about what means you have. You are obviously only in the realm of overcoming two disasters, but you can pass the talent recruitment assessment."
Liang Yan was stunned after hearing this, and asked via voicemail: "What? You didn't pass the recruitment assessment?"
After hearing this, the young man showed a strange look, and after a while he replied: "Do you think the recruitment assessment is easy? In the entire Dongyun Lingzhou, there are only thirteen people who can pass the Confucian League recruitment assessment, and two of them are
Ya Sheng and the rest are all masters of overcoming eight difficulties!"
Liang Yan was still puzzled after hearing this: "Then you..."
"We were all recommended by the forces under the Confucian League."
The young man said: "For example, I am the eldest son of the Bohai Zhang family. Because my father studied at the Cangjian Academy, he later left the academy and established his own family power, but he still belongs to the Confucian League, so he is qualified to recommend
One spot.”
When Liang Yan heard this, he suddenly woke up.
Liu Rushi once mentioned this. In addition to the recruitment assessment, the hundreds of top forces under the Confucian League will also recommend talents to participate in the competition for quotas in this Virtual Realm Discussion.
The young man paused and then said: "You are different from us. You are the only one who has passed the recruitment assessment and entered the school. You have no strength at all, so they are keen to win over you."
"So that's it..." Liang Yan nodded: "What do you call fellow Taoist?"
"My name is Zhang Song."
The young man smiled slightly, and then said: "Those of us say we are here to participate in the Virtual Realm Discussion, but in fact we all know very well that with our strength, it is impossible to be selected. We have only one purpose in coming to the Hidden Sword Academy, and that is to take advantage of the opportunity.
This is an opportunity to learn the mysterious art of Confucianism."
Liang Yan could have guessed what he said without actually saying it, but he didn't expect this person to say it so bluntly.
However, the Rumeng League must also know this, and turning a blind eye to this kind of behavior should be acquiescence.
Liang Yan guessed that this might be a way for the Confucian League to attract people's hearts.
At this time, Zhang Song sent another message: "Of course, there have been very few monks who stood out in history, but judging from the cultivation of these people this year, it should be impossible."
After hearing this, Liang Yan glanced subconsciously and saw that most of the monks at the table were surviving the fourth disaster. Even those with the highest cultivation levels had not survived the second disaster.
Although this kind of cultivation is a powerful presence in most places, it is not enough to participate in virtual realm discussion...
Zhang Song was obviously self-aware, so Liang Yan could only laugh and said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist, you should not belittle yourself. You have the ability to overcome six difficulties. If you can break through within ten years, you may still have a chance."
Select."
"There's a damn chance."
Zhang Song chuckled: "I know who I am, but I can't defeat the masters who have overcome eight difficulties like you. In fact, you are the only monk who has passed the recruitment examination and entered the Hidden Sword Academy, because the others
None of them are swordsmen, they chose three other academies."
He paused for a moment before continuing: "So, your future opponents will be the few sub-sages from Hidden Sword Academy. As long as you can challenge one of them, you will be qualified to participate in the Void Realm Discussion."
"I see……"
He had wondered before why he didn't see other monks who had passed the recruitment examination here, and it turned out that he was the only one.
This is reasonable. After all, there are very few sword cultivators. Among the thirteen people who passed the examination, I may be the only sword cultivator...
Seeing that he was silent, Zhang Song thought he was touched by what he just said, and immediately smiled and said: "I understand fellow Taoist's feelings. You can surpass the level and defeat the monks who have overcome eight difficulties. You are already a genius among geniuses. Today
But suddenly he learned that the person he wanted to challenge was actually a Confucian sub-sage, and he must have been unhappy in his heart. But there was nothing he could do about it. There were numerous talents in the Hidden Sword Academy, and those sub-sage sword cultivators had so many magical powers that it was almost impossible for outsiders to obtain them.
One spot.”
After hearing this, Liang Yan smiled softly without commenting.
Zhang Song comforted him again: "In fact, fellow Taoist, there is no need to be discouraged. With your qualifications, if you have the opportunity to become a sub-sage within five hundred years, it will not be too late to challenge you again. Anyway, if the virtual world is not eradicated in one day, the virtual world will be destroyed."
Discussing the Tao will continue."
Liang Yan didn't intend to refute, he raised his hands and said with a smile: "What you said makes sense, fellow Taoist. Thank you for your advice."
While the two were chatting, they suddenly heard a bell ringing and saw a small boat floating upstream of the stream.
There was an old man sitting on the boat. In front of him were chimes, chimes, cymbals, cymbals and other musical instruments. He was holding poles in both hands and playing freely.
The melodious music comes along with the waves. When you listen to it, you feel relaxed and your thoughts become more ethereal.
When everyone saw this, they all stood up and at the same time cupped their hands and said, "Greetings, teacher!"
The old scholar smiled slightly, jumped up and came to the front of the crowd.
"No need to be polite, everyone can sit down." The old Confucian laughed softly.
After everyone heard this, they all sat down as instructed.
The old scholar glanced at the crowd, and finally his eyes fell on Liang Yan, and said with a smile: "It seems that there is a new student entering the school today. I would like to introduce myself first. My name is 'Yan Yizhou', and I am responsible for teaching you "Nine Palaces".
"The study of "Nine Palaces". As the saying goes, there is a certain order of learning. In terms of strength, I may not be stronger than you, but in terms of mastering the academic knowledge of "Nine Palaces", I consider myself to be very proficient, so I can give you some help."
Liang Yan was not stupid, of course he knew that these words were meant for him.
This Yan Yizhou has the ability to overcome the Seven Difficulties, but he must have heard about the fact that he jumped up the ranks and defeated Di Jiang, so he said what he just said.
Liang Yan immediately smiled and said: "What the teacher said is absolutely true. There is a saying in Confucianism: among three people, there must be a teacher! Let's not talk about strength for the moment. Those who have heard of the truth can be teachers."
After hearing this, Yan Yizhou nodded slightly, showing satisfaction.
"Okay! There are new students being introduced today, so I will take you to review the program of "Nine Palaces"."
"The Nine Palaces are the laws of heaven and earth. In the past, the Holy Master observed the mysteries of the sun, moon, stars, and the movement of earth, water, fire, and wind, and thus created the Nine Palaces to legislate heaven and earth..."
“The nine palaces are:
Secret Mantra of Qiangong·Tiangang Yushen,
The secret talisman of Kun Palace and the earth evil seal, The secret sound that shakes the palace·Xuanyin calms the soul,
The secret shadow of Xun Palace·The illusion of all things,
Kan Palace Secret Water·Water Spirit Transformation,
The Secret Fire of Li Palace·The Nirvana of the Flame Spirit,
The Secret of Gen Palace·The Divine Machine Puppet,
Duigong is secretly deficient, returning to delusion and deficiency,
The Mysteries of the Middle Palace·Nine Palaces in One"
"Last time, we talked about the 'Kan Palace Secret Water'. This water is not that water, but the shape of all things, changing like water..."
Yan Yizhou kept talking and began to talk about the mysteries of the Nine Palaces.
What he taught was not the cultivation methods of monks, but the principles of the movement of heaven and earth.
As the old Confucian said before, the principles of the Nine Palaces have existed forever and will not be changed by anyone.
Ordinary people are blinded by a leaf and do not understand the movement of heaven and earth. Although they occasionally gain something, it is just a glimpse of the leopard. One day, when facing a powerful enemy, the Taoism fails and it will be too late to regret!
Liang Yan came into contact with the Confucian League classics for the first time. He didn't think much of it when he first heard it. But after listening carefully, he felt that it was mysterious and extraordinary. He had never seen it in his life.
In just one hour, he seemed to have opened a new door.
It's not that what the old Confucian said brought him much gain, but that this theory gave him great inspiration and allowed him to see places he had never touched before.
“Confucianism is indeed profound and profound!”
No matter how proud Liang Yan was, he had to admit that he actually felt a little insignificant in the face of the long-standing academic heritage of Confucianism...
As for Zhang Song, Yu Pingwei, Zhu Heng, Murong Yan and others, their purpose was to attend the lecture. At this time, they all pricked up their ears and listened carefully, for fear of missing a detail.
By the stream, apart from the sound of the water, there was only Yan Yizhou's slightly hoarse voice.
Just one hour passed in a blink of an eye.
Yan Yizhou only talked about one hundred or two of the changes in the palace. Unfortunately, the time was up and he stopped teaching.
At the end, Yan Yizhou smiled and said: "Although the theory of Jiugong is the law of heaven and earth, it is not the method of cultivation. Just listen to it for now. If you have insights in the future, you can apply this principle to your own cultivation method. Only then can it be considered true.
Comprehension.”
After hearing this, everyone said in unison: "Thank you teacher for your guidance."
Yan Yizhou nodded, said no more, turned around, got on his boat again, played music and sang songs and left...
After he left, everyone began to become active again.
Murong Yan, Zhu Heng, Yu Pingwei and others once again extended invitations to Liang Yan.
"Brother Lu, I have some good wine that I have collected for many years. Why don't we taste it together?"
"Don't listen to him. This guy has no ability. He just likes to be arty. Brother Lu, you'd better come with me. I know a place that will definitely open your eyes to Brother Lu."
"Haha, how could Brother Lu accept your invitation? My Murong family has a secret art of the soul. I wonder if Brother Lu is interested in discussing it with this little girl?"
…
Facing everyone's invitation, Liang Yan smiled and shook his head.
"Thank you for your kindness, but Mr. Lu has already made an appointment with someone. Once a gentleman makes a promise, it will be difficult to follow up, so it is not good to break the appointment."
After hearing this, everyone was stunned and asked: "Who does Brother Lu have an appointment with?"
Liang Yan glanced at Zhang Song, who was watching the fun nearby, and said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist Zhang and I hit it off immediately. I will be a guest at his house later. I'm sorry that I can't accept the appointment of fellow Taoists."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Zhang Song.
Zhang Song was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Yes, I do have an appointment with Brother Lu. Fellow Taoists, I'm sorry!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked side by side with Liang Yan, and quickly walked out of the school.
When the monks saw this scene, they couldn't help but look at each other.
In their eyes, although Zhang Song has extremely high cultivation, his family power is average, he never forms cliques with others, and he has always been a marginalized figure in the classroom.
Unexpectedly, Lu Xuanji fell in love with him at first sight.
"this……"
"Oh, let's break up, let's break up, they don't want to make friends with us at all!"
"Hmph! It's not like you, a vulgar person, make people feel disgusted!"
"You're not much better!"
Although the monks in the school are classmates, they have family and sect interests behind them, so they have deep grudges and dislike each other.
As an outsider, Liang Yan would certainly not get involved in such trouble.
He and Zhang Song walked out of Jixia Academy together and had arrived at the foot of the mountain.
There were no acquaintances here. Zhang Song stopped and said with a smile: "Brother Lu, you are so unkind, you actually used me as a shield!"
"Sorry, sorry! I really can't..."
Liang Yan bowed his hands and said with a smile: "Lu lives alone and doesn't like to get involved in other people's disputes. But after all, we are classmates. We will attend lectures here for the next ten years. I can only find an excuse to deal with it, so that everyone can save face."
It’s better than anything else.”
"So you pushed it on me." Zhang Song half-smiled.
"Oh, I have indeed brought trouble to Brother Zhang. I am willing to use the spirit stone as compensation. What does Brother Zhang think?" Liang Yan said in a sincere tone.
"That's all."
Zhang Song waved his hand: "I, Zhang Song, are just like you, and I don't want to form cliques in the school. I am only here to learn the superior method, and the rest is just a cloud. Brother Dao is speculating with me. This is a small favor.
It’s nothing.”
"In that case, thank you very much, Brother Zhang." Liang Yan said with a smile.
"By the way, which course did you choose, Sword of Heart or Sword of Wisdom?" Zhang Song suddenly asked.
"Sword of Wisdom."
"Huijian... Tao Youyou has the same taste as me!"
Zhang Song smiled slightly and added: "There are six best sword techniques of Huijian. I wonder which one you want to learn?"
After hearing this, Liang Yan did not answer, but asked instead: "I have just entered the academy and am not qualified to attend classes yet... May I ask Brother Zhang, which course did you choose?"
"Yes, you just entered the academy this month. I forgot about this rule."
Zhang Song nodded, then smiled mysteriously and asked, "I wonder if Brother Lu is interested in 'Sword Finger'?"
