Qingyun Mountain, Jixia Academy, Star Observation Deck.
As the two of them finished painting, the power of the artistic conceptions that collided with each other on the star observatory gradually dissipated and merged into the painting.
The figures of the two men also reappeared in the sight of the students under the light of the sky light mirror.
"Who can win?"
"Is it Master Qi? Or that mysterious scholar?"
"It should be Master Qi! Master Qi has already taken out the Big Dipper Map. Isn't it hard to lose?"
"That's right. After all, it's the Big Dipper. It's also one of the top stars in the north."
Several students in the academy were whispering, and their words were full of confidence in Qi Xingwen.
After all, Qi Xingwen is a teacher at Jixia Academy, and he is a famous scholar in the world. His attainments in painting are among the top three in the academy.
When it comes to painting specific paintings like the Big Dipper, it's already at the top two level.
…
"How to judge?" Zhu Youji raised his hand, gathered the scroll, held it in his hand, and asked.
Qi Xingwen also closed the scroll, and after pondering for a while, he said: "To avoid you feeling unfair, how about letting Master Zhou's statue grade it?"
"Um?"
Zhu Youji narrowed his eyes slightly, nodded, and said: "Okay."
"Okay." Qi Xingwen turned around, saluted in the direction of Dean Zhou Xingtian, and said: "Dean, could you please ask for the statue of Master Zhou?"
Zhou Xingtian, who was standing beside the Confucian Hall, took a deep look at Qi Xingwen, then turned and walked into the Confucian Hall.
Jiang Mei and Qian Ziyu looked at each other. They were both smart people and could feel the deep meaning in the dean's eyes.
Qi Xingwen might lose...
With this thought, the two people's expressions became more solemn.
Losing is not terrible, but losing in front of so many students is embarrassing.
A teacher from Jixia Academy was beaten by a great scholar from Qingyun Academy?
Once this incident spreads, the prestige of Jixia Academy will probably be greatly affected again.
They have never understood why the dean used the Confucian Light Realm to show the scene of the competition to so many people?
Just to increase their knowledge?
Or did the dean never think Qi Xingwen would lose?
"I have something to ask you."
Zhu Youji, who was on the star observatory, suddenly spoke.
"Say." Qi Xingwen said.
"Isn't the statue of Master Zhou always cast and guarded by Qingyun Academy?"
"Why are you in Jixia Academy?"
Zhu Youji expressed his doubts.
According to the memory of Confucianism and Taoism, it should be that Qingyun Academy erected a statue of Master Zhou at the entrance in order to restore its reputation for scholars to visit and leave its name in history.
But why did it turn into Jixia Academy when we reached the upper world?
What exactly happened?
"Is this the purpose of your coming here?" Qi Xingwen frowned slightly and asked.
"It's one of them."
Zhu Youji knew that he had misunderstood, but he was too lazy to explain. He needed an identity. Now that [Confucianism, Taoism, and Wenxin] had been seen through, Jixia Academy was already convinced that he was a great scholar from Qingyun Academy.
No matter how you explain yourself, others won't believe you.
After all, the top-grade Kung Fu [Confucianism, Taoism and Wenxin], which is the foundation of Qingyun Academy, appears in a mysterious great scholar. Is there any other explanation?
There is nothing to explain.
Even if he is not from Qingyun Academy, he is still closely related to Qingyun Academy, otherwise he would have been hunted down by the great scholars of Qingyun Academy.
"Therein lies the game between Qingyun Academy and Jixia Academy, which is also related to Master Zhou's Confucianism." Qi Xingwen hesitated and told the truth.
"Game? Battle between Confucianism and Taoism?"
Zhu Youji thought of a lot in an instant, and he was the clearest about Zhou Haodang's Confucianism and Taoism.
This kind of Confucianism and Taoism does not serve the king, but only serves the common people at dawn.
This is intolerable for any dynasty.
They can tolerate a Zhou teacher, they can tolerate the idea of establishing a heart for heaven and earth, establishing a destiny for the people, inheriting the unique knowledge for the past saints, and creating peace for all generations, but... they can never tolerate the idea that all scholars in the world will imitate Zhou Haodang.
Confucianism corrupts the law with literature.
The arrogance of scholars and the nobility of scholars have always been a headache for various countries.
Finally, under the promotion of Cheng Yasheng, Confucianism and Taoism in the world began to integrate with the destiny of the dynasty, and Confucian scholars began to go out into the world and began to serve the country and the country.
Only then did he come up with that sentence, learn the arts of literature and martial arts, and serve the emperor's family.
Being connected to the luck of the dynasty has advantages and disadvantages for scholars.
Fortunately, after being united with the dynasty, Confucianism and Taoism practice can advance rapidly, but again, it will be limited by the emperor and the court.
However, Master Zhou's Confucianism and Taoism ended the fate of the dynasty, combined the Confucianism with the dawn of the world, and blatantly destroyed the national destiny of the Sui Dynasty.
This is undoubtedly an impact on all dynasties.
If he hadn't died, all the emperors might not be able to sleep.
Driven by this situation, how could Master Zhou be able to remain famous throughout the ages in the Qingyun Academy of the Cheng family?
"Destroying human desires and preserving the laws of nature was proposed by Cheng Yasheng of Qingyun Academy. The Cheng family has a transcendent status in Qingyun Academy, so we invited back the statue of Master Zhou." Qi Xingwen used a special method to convey his voice to Zhu. Yuji's ears.
"Destroy human desires and preserve the principles of nature?"
"Cheng Zhu Neo-Confucianism?"
Zhu Youji completely understood.
A kind of Confucianism that was most suitable for the rule of the feudal dynasty and became the legal basis for Confucian theocracy and royal power.
Compared with Master Zhou's Confucian and Taoist ambitions, this theory was more favored by the rulers of the dynasty, and it would naturally be promoted on a large scale, especially in Qingyun Academy.
"So this is ah……"
Zhu Youji never expected that a holy place of Confucianism and Taoism that taught Master Zhou would eventually become an existence catering to the rulers.
On the contrary, Jixia Academy, which rejected Zhutler, became a desperate supporter of Master Zhou's way?
What a ridiculous fate!
"So, the vast majority of the so-called Dafeng Imperial Academy are actually students of Qingyun Academy?" Zhu Youji asked.
Qi Jingwen nodded slightly and said: "In addition to the main academy, Qingyun Academy has other academies spread across various countries. There are branch academies in the capital of each country. It can be regarded as a model of the spread of Confucianism and Taoism."
"Haha." Zhu Youji chuckled lightly and said nothing more.
After a moment, a soft, pure white light emitted from the Confucian Palace.
The students were stunned for a moment, then were overjoyed and hurriedly saluted the light and said, "Students have seen Master Zhou!!"
The voice of the students spread throughout Qingyun Mountain.
Under the expectant and excited eyes of everyone, a slightly transparent shadow slowly emerged.
Wearing a white Confucian shirt, holding a scroll in his hand and scolding Fang Qiu, he showed his scholarly spirit.
An artistic conception unique to the sub-sage level also emerged.
Everyone can feel this special power that contains supreme ambition...
