In mid-October, when Feng Qingyan headed north to Changting, thousands of miles away, the sky was high and the clouds were light and the air was getting colder. The so-called change of years, the cycle of four seasons, a leaf knows autumn, and a frost enters winter. When he kills the "weird" in the underworld and cleans out the evil ghosts,
It's the end of midwinter.
The grass and trees are withering, the insects are dormant, and the sky is covered with snow in the north.
Don't forget that the years are getting late, only to realize that the winter nights are long.
early morning.
The people struggled to get up from their warm beds, opened the door of their house, and felt a knife-like coldness rushing towards them, causing their cheeks to hurt.
bump!
The door slammed shut.
At this time, both the yard and the vast fields were covered with a thick layer of snowflakes. The white air exhaled from the nose and mouth rose slightly, slowly dissipated, and seemed to be condensing. The people shook their bodies and rubbed their hands.
Hand said: "It's so cold!"
On the streets of Ba City.
The vendors were already shouting slogans...
In the courtyards on the south bank of the Lingshui River, students had to get up in pain, put on warm clothes such as light fur coats or robes, and hurried to the academy against the cold wind.
In front of the academy's gate, stood several teachers wearing thick robes.
"I've seen the lesson."
"I've seen the lesson."
The students who arrived hurriedly saluted.
The teacher just nodded slightly, and his eyes fell on the hilltop on the side of the academy, with a look of relief in his eyes.
Because on that white hilltop, there were already many students reading in the cold wind.
Such as Helianshan, Yanshan and other students.
"The gentleman has left, and the academy seems a little deserted."
One teacher looked around and said.
"indeed."
Nod with instruction.
However, this can only be said relatively.
Although there are more literati and poets in Ba City now than ever before, the academy without gentlemen, and the city of Ba without gentlemen, does seem to be a lot "deserted".
In the minds of many people, as long as there is a gentleman.
Even if there are only a few thousand people in Baocheng, it will not feel deserted; but without a gentleman, even if there are hundreds of thousands of people in Baocheng, it will feel deserted.
This is the current situation for the students and teaching in the academy.
"Young Master went to Ten Thousand Miles Pavilion. It's been more than a month, why haven't you come back?" A teacher was quite curious, and then shook his head and said: "If you don't come back in a hurry, I'm afraid you will miss the position of senior brother."
"Other than a gentleman, who can be the academy's senior brother?"
At this time, a young instructor smiled dumbly and added: "Who dares to be a senior brother?"
The other teachers nodded after hearing this.
Except for a gentleman, who can be the senior brother of the academy?
Who dares to be a senior brother?
Although it is said that the position of senior elder brother in the academy seems a bit useless to a gentleman who is a virtual saint. However, the position of senior elder brother in the academy should be the honor of a gentleman and should also be part of the journey of an outstanding disciple of Confucianism.
…
This can be considered a kind of perfection.
Moreover, the position of the academy's senior brother not only represents honor, but also represents powerful power. Not only does it have the same status as the academy's great edict, it can also represent the academy when traveling around the world.
And the person who can represent the academy, besides the president, is the senior brother.
Even great edicts cannot.
Of course, the Grand Edict represents the will of the academy master and can also be said to represent the academy.
This is not the most important.
The most important thing is that only the senior brothers of the Eighty-one Confucian Academy can compete for the position of the Holy Son. And only the Holy Son can become the leader...
This is the reason why senior brother can suppress the great edict.
Therefore, even if Feng Qingyan becomes a true saint, he cannot be the leader of Confucianism if he is not the elder brother of the academy, let alone the saint son.
Unless we usurp the throne.
In the Age of Saints, the status of the leader was higher than that of the saint.
There have even been cases where the leader was only a semi-saint and a group of saints paid homage to the semi-saint.
Now Feng Qingyan is just a virtual saint, and is respected by all the world. Naturally, because the saint retired to seclusion, he is the only virtual saint in the whole world.
But the status of the leader is still higher than that of Xu Sheng.
"The gentleman has not returned for so long. Could something have happened?"
Someone taught me to ponder for a while.
"It is rumored that the leader of the cult has gone to Wanli Changting, and countless great sages have rushed to support him, so what can happen?"
The young teacher smiled and said, not too worried.
The news about them was still more than a month ago, and they didn't know that Feng Qingyan led a hundred thousand evil spirits into the Netherworld, and they didn't even know that the leader of the Confucianism, Mohism, and Dharma religions had just arrived at Wanli Changting and immediately turned east.
boom--
At this moment, it was like a bolt from the blue.
A ray of holy and flawless white light seemed to suddenly explode from the sky, causing the whole world to tremble slightly.
The teachers in front of the academy gate were all startled and immediately looked up.
They saw a dazzling and holy white light in the sky, which seemed to be the coming of a saint, which shocked them all.
What's this?
Holy light?
They felt the breath of white light, which seemed to be indeed holy light.
But why did the holy light suddenly burst out in the sky?
"Hey, there seems to be something in the holy light." The young teacher was a little surprised. He squinted his eyes and looked carefully, and indeed saw something in the dazzling holy light. "It looks like... a jade plaque."
"Jade plaque?"
"What is this?"
"Is it a sacred cultural treasure?"
The teachers in front of the academy gate were all very curious.
At this time, many people, whether in the academy or in the city, looked up at the sky, curiously looking at the sudden appearance of the holy light.
"Could it be that a saint came to this world?"
Many literati said excitedly.
"It is not the birth of a saint."
Some people immediately shook their heads, how could it be like this when the saint came to the world?
Saints come into the world, flowers bloom in the sky and earth, and sacred images such as thousands of books worship, how can it be rare?
"Jade card!"
"There is a jade tablet in the holy light."
At this time, many people discovered the jade tablet in the holy light.
"Jade plaque?"
The old teacher of the academy faintly noticed that he seemed to have seen a jade plaque somewhere, and then his whole body suddenly trembled and he said in shock: "Philosopher's position?!"
"Philosophy?"
"What philosophy?"
Many students in the academy have never heard of the title of philosopher.
Or you may have read it in a book, but you didn't react for a while, and you were a little confused.
What is the position of philosophy?
"Philosophy?"
At this moment, some of the teachings in the academy suddenly reacted and looked at the holy light in the sky in horror, unable to believe that the philosopher had come to this world.
"How can this be?"
The old teacher was so shocked that he couldn't believe his eyes and said in horror: "Impossible!"
The saint has long since retired to seclusion. Where did the world come from to have the position of philosophy?
At this time, the holy light was gradually dissipating, but the jade tablet deep in the sky did not disappear. The jade tablet was holy and flawless, exuding a faint holy light, and showing a mysterious texture.
"It is indeed a philosophical position."
An Xiu also walked out of the back hall and looked up at the jade plaque deep in the sky.
His first thought when he saw the jade plaque was that of his disciple Feng Qingyan, but he immediately rejected it.
How could Xusheng give birth to a philosopher?
If Feng Qingyan is a true saint and a philosopher is born, he will not be surprised or shocked.
