Royal Academy!
For Confucianism in the world, this is the holy land of Confucianism and Taoism. Over the past dynasties, more than 90% of the great Confucians came from the Royal Academy, accounting for almost half of the entire Han Dynasty.
Great Confucians who came out of the Royal Academy, even if they did not enter the court as officials, would be awarded the third rank and receive a monthly salary. However, those who came out of other Confucian and Taoist academies, unless they entered the court, could only be awarded the third rank and receive a monthly salary.
The salary he receives is nearly half less than that of an serving third-grade official.
Huangdao Long Street.
Stepping onto this long street that runs from east to west in Chang'an City again, Su Qinian couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Once upon a time, he set foot on this long street for the first time. How could he have imagined that one day, he would prove it?
Daoyuanshen, even the sword-killing destiny, stands at the top of the martial arts world.
The Royal Academy is much quieter than in the past few years. Many Confucian scholars in white shirts and square scarves come and go in front of the academy. There are few conversations, most of them smile and nod, or simply say hello. Some are holding books or even walking.
During this time, I was also reading Wei Yan Da Yi.
Some college teachers also arrived to welcome the morning sun, preparing for morning classes. Seeing this scene before them, they looked at the re-erected golden nanmu door. It lacked the thick patina and the atmosphere of vicissitudes of years. It seemed to be different from the whole door.
The academy seems out of place, but in the eyes of these teachers, perhaps it is precisely because of these experiences that the glitz and glamor accumulated in the academy in the past years has dissipated, becoming a little less grandiose and a little more steady.
It is undoubtedly of great benefit to spiritual practice and learning.
Forbidden City.
In the Imperial Garden, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty and the Crown Prince Liu Qinghong were sitting opposite each other. Liu Qinghong was making tea and sharing it. His eyes suddenly moved and he sensed the familiar scent captured by the Chixiao Chengtian Formation. His heart was shaken, and the hand that was sharing the tea trembled slightly.
Suddenly a few drops of tea dripped out of the cup.
"A calm mind and an upright body are the heart of an emperor."
The Emperor of the Han Dynasty looked at him and said calmly: "If you don't plan for the world, how can you overlook thousands of miles of mountains and rivers? You can't see more and farther than anyone else."
Liu Qinghong was shocked when he heard this, and then took a few deep breaths to calm down. He had been regent for many days, and he understood that his father's words were a bit harsh when he spoke now. For him, what he longed for most was his father's.
I recognized that I originally thought that I was born in the royal family and was born a nobleman. I should overlook the people of Li. It was not until I was actually regent and started to deal with state affairs that I realized that the affairs of this world are far from being as simple as imagined. They involve farming, merchants, official administration, etc., and then subdivide them.
As time goes on, even though the six divisions have been greatly divided, the memorials sent to the minister's office every day are still piling up. Even with his body as a Taoist soul, at the end of the day, although he is in good spirits, he is still a little tired in his heart.
It can be imagined from this that my father has been handling government affairs for nearly a hundred years, and he has been doing this every day. Compared with him, he is like the bright moon and the brilliance of fireflies.
As if he understood his thoughts, the contemporary Emperor of the Han Dynasty shook his head again and said calmly: "Do you know why you are not as good as that one?"
Liu Qinghong's eyes lit up when he heard this. Not only him, but probably all the young masters in the world wanted to know this. Because of a chance encounter? Because of good fortune? Got the legendary time taboo inheritance?
The Emperor of the Han Dynasty slowly stood up, came to the pavilion, looked up at the rising sun, and then said in a deep voice: "Because you lack a Taoist heart."
Daoxin?
Liu Qinghong showed a look of confusion. As long as martial arts practitioners have a strong will, most of them have an unshakable Taoist heart. They are not afraid of life and death on the road to martial arts practice. They can abandon everything and make a desperate move.
The Emperor of Han shook his head again, this time without explaining anything. After a moment, Liu Qinghong frowned as he looked at his father's leaving figure, but he immediately shook his head. Obviously, what his father said was not true.
Taoist heart in the usual sense, so what exactly is the Taoist heart that he lacks?
…
The outer courtyard of the Royal Academy.
In a quiet courtyard, the gentle breeze blew, the purple bamboos were swaying, and the bamboo leaves were whirling and falling, like a purple rain in winter, with a bone-chilling chill, but it was extremely quiet.
At this moment, under a few purple bamboos, a middle-aged man in purple robe sat cross-legged and stretched out his hand to play the guqin. The guqin had no strings, but as he stroked it with his ten fingers, a quiet and peaceful sound came out. It was not very loud, and it was extremely quiet and revealing.
A kind of tranquility that makes the soul clear.
It wasn't until the morning sun slowly rose that the sound of the piano finally stopped, and at this moment, a calm voice sounded.
"It's a joy to congratulate the master of the palace for his success in swordsmanship."
who!
Gong Shangyu was shocked. He was unexpectedly approached by someone without noticing it. This was the first time since he ascended the Yuanshen Ranking. It is conceivable that if the other party suddenly took action, it would definitely be a thrilling assassination.
.
When he raised his head and saw the figure standing four feet away in front of him, he was even more shocked. He stood up, and his previously calm mind stirred up a storm again.
"It's you!"
Gong Shangyu said word by word, his face a little ugly. He didn't expect that person to stand in front of him again today.
Outside the Royal Academy, there were many changes in the world, and how could he not know about all of them, especially recently, this one, traveling with three crazy Taoists, broke into Jingtang Shenhuang Mountain and killed one of the five great destiny inheritors of Jingtang.
The ancestor of the Huang family, Huang Changkong, was a quasi-sage master who was accomplished in swordsmanship and shocked the entire human race.
Now, this person is praised by the world as one man to rule the country, and is placed in the same position as all the masters of destiny. In addition, he is ranked as the first rank of the Han Dynasty and is in charge of Hulong Villa. It can be said that he has overwhelming force and power. He, the outer courtyard of the Royal Academy,
Comparing him with the hospital master now, he is just as different as when he first entered Chang'an City. It's just that now their identities are reversed and they are in different places. Gong Shangyu has a deeper understanding of what he was like back then.
This person’s state of mind.
Thinking of this, Gong Shangyu took a deep breath and said coldly: "Did the Dragon King come here today to settle old scores? Let's do it!"
Even if he understands that there is a huge gap between them, even if he has passed through the sixth level of thunder tribulation and condensed the realm of martial arts, even if not counting other things, the person standing in front of him has already opened up the world and achieved great spiritual success, he still
The fighting spirit in my heart has not been extinguished. Regardless of whether I have been right or wrong in the past, as the dean of the outer courtyard of the Royal Academy and as a martial arts practitioner, I can ignore life and death, but I cannot sit back and wait for death.
Su Qinian looked at the five-finger piano fairy in front of him, and he remained calm and did not take any action.
Although Su Qinian did not take action, and no majestic aura was leaked, Gong Shangyu still felt a great oppression from the depths of his heart. This was the invisible evil energy from the fall of destiny. Even though Su Qinian is standing now
There is no movement there. The higher the level of cultivation, especially those who have achieved Taoism and Yuan Shen, the more they can feel a palpitating feeling, which can even penetrate into the soul and permeate the Yuan Shen.
"How dare you despise me!"
Gong Shangyu raised his eyebrows, his eyes were cold, and there was a deep sense of shame. Then, he stretched out his hand and pressed the Five Elements Immortal Qin. The rhyme of the Five Elements surged and condensed into the strings. The invisible edge of the sword spread out. In this courtyard,
Immediately, space cracks as thick as a hair appeared, as black as ink, and like the mouth of a ferocious beast, trying to choose people and devour them.
However, this strange phenomenon did not affect every plant and tree in the courtyard. Five-colored light bloomed from Gong Shangyu, covering the entire courtyard. This was his Five Elements Dao Domain, which may be called the Sword Domain.
, but although he is close to understanding the origin of swordsmanship, he still misses the final step.
Scanning the realm of martial arts in front of me, Su Qinian couldn't help but sigh. It is already very difficult for ordinary people to understand one kind of origin. For example, Shang Yu from the Five-finger Qin Immortal Palace understood the origin of the five elements, and they were all perfect and entered the Tao.
The realm of the Five Elements rotates and turns into a realm of martial arts. In its early years, it may not have been a taboo body, or even a half-step taboo. However, with the five elements of the Tao realm, mutually reinforcing and restraining each other, it is probably enough to compete with the ordinary holy taboos.
Therefore, in Su Qinian's opinion, no matter what his past, this person is worthy of being a surprise.
Buzz!
There was a sound of sword clanging, but it was only in a corner of the courtyard of the academy and did not spread to the entire academy. Naturally, no one noticed it.
Then, five sword lights accompanied by the sonorous music of the piano, like an ambush from all sides, rose up from all directions of Su Qinian. The five-color sword lights, accompanied by the rhyme of the five elements, suddenly converged on Su Qinian's head.
Ding!
Gong Shangyu showed an unprecedented solemn look. He played the piano with both hands and moved his ten fingers together. His martial arts sword power had evolved to the extreme. Even if he had achieved the Five Elements Dao realm, he had not yet deduced the complete change. At this time, he did not care about the backlash and gritted his teeth to display it.
Because he understood what kind of opponent he was facing at this moment. Rather than just waiting to die, it would be better to die in the utmost brilliance.
Rumble!
But above Su Qinian's head, the five-color sword light suddenly merged into one, and there was a thunderous sound. The five-color sharp edges squeezed together and merged with each other, forming a terrifying sword light with five colors.
The light of the sword was so solid that even on the spine of the sword, there was a trace of chaos, and there was a faint aura, but Su Qinian's eyes were like a torch, and he could clearly see that it was a trace of chaos.
Using the sixth level realm to evolve a trace of real chaotic energy, before Dacheng Yuanshen, Su Qinian had only seen this method in Pan Jin of the Three Saints Sect, and the rest were all in the form of gods.
It is not the real chaotic energy.
clang!
The next moment, Gong Shangyu's face turned pale and blood bleeded from the corner of his mouth, but he still pressed the body of the piano with both hands. The ten tones of the piano merged into one, emitting a sonorous sound like gold and iron. It was also like a divine bell in the heaven being struck, and a five-color sword light.
At this moment, it fell inch by inch towards Su Qinian's head.
This kind of half-step sword intention is no different from the perfect sword intention. The chaotic energy falls, the void collapses inch by inch, and penetrates into layers of void faults. It does not stop until the twenty-ninth level.
The power of this sword has suddenly approached the realm of Dacheng Yuanshen. The sword intention is locked on Su Qinian. The sword light seems slow, but through the many gaps in the void, Gong Shangyu is sure that even the real Dacheng Yuanshen wants to
It is also very difficult to avoid the sword shrouded in the sound of the piano. There is no other way but to face the sword directly. (Please give me a guaranteed monthly pass in March, the genuine subscription is the greatest support for Shibu!)
