Zhao Rong and his party deviated slightly from the route and drove for two days to the nearest mountain market called Baiyunjin.
Zhao Rong learned from the map that the current dynasty was called Dachen. The king respected Legalism and used "severe punishment" to govern the country.
When Zhao Rong passed through several continental cities before, most of the people on the streets were cautious about their words and deeds, rarely whispering to each other, for fear of being punished for their words. As for Confucian and other "heterodox" books, they were banned nationwide. I heard that there were several
This is a nationwide book-burning move. Legalists in this country are indeed extremely exclusive.
Zhao Rong frowned. He had entered the city several times before. Because he dressed as a Confucian scholar, he had been strictly scrutinized for a long time. If his identity documents such as road guides had not been complete, they would not have been able to find a reason to launch the attack, and there was also a side that did not know whether it was true or false.
The flags of Linlu Academy may have clashed early.
Zhao Rong looked around at the Xianjia Market where the monks seemed to be infected by the atmosphere at the foot of the mountain and all looked serious, and then remembered the cold-eyed cool official at the door when he first entered Baiyunjin.
From this point of view, the boundary between the mountains and the mountains is more blurred than I imagined. There are probably many more monks who have entered the world than those who have been born. The Legalists in this country have even restrained the Immortal Family on the mountain.
I remember that Da Chu, who I grew up in, used to be a Legalist, but was later changed by the current Imperial Master who came from Linlu Academy. However, I still heard that there were remnants of Legalism in the court until I left.
The power took advantage of the unstable period of power when the new emperor just ascended the throne to rebound...
Zhao Rong wandered around Baiyunjin with his thoughts racing.
Su Xiaoxiao did not go up the mountain. Because of its status as a monster, it was better to go up the mountain as little as possible. Not to mention that the market on the mountain was supervised by legal officials. Once it was discovered, it might be a troublesome matter, so he let
She stayed at the foot of the mountain, but when they left, the little girl was still full of reluctance. Zhao Rong was afraid that she would follow her secretly, so he promised to tell her a new fairy tale in the evening, which stabilized her.
Liu Sanbian separated from him after entering Baiyunjin, saying that he was going to prepare the medicinal materials needed for him to practice in the realm of ascending to heaven. According to Brother Sanbian, in this realm, a martial artist must "take merit as his mother,
Boxing is the foundation and nourishment is the main focus.”
Among them, the Kung Fu is the "Ant Climbs to Heaven Technique", the boxing is "Negative Mountain", and the next step is the medicinal bath, which Brother Sanbian is going to prepare now.
Zhao Rong walked aimlessly to a building that looked like a bookshop and took a look. It turned out to be a place where newspapers from the mountain were sold.
These Di newspapers are similar to newspapers in previous lives. They are published by some well-informed forces and updated frequently. They are one of the main channels for information circulation on the mountain.
Di newspapers are very likely to report on some major events on the mountain, but sometimes they will also publish some hearsay and interesting gossip, such as a suspected spiritual being born in a certain fairy mountain, and strange phenomena, such as a review of several major events on Wangquezhou Mountain.
Stunning fairy, etc. As for whether it is true or false, only the newspaper readers can judge for themselves.
Zhao Rong bought a copy of the latest Di newspaper, which seemed relatively reliable, and read it carefully.
The Di newspaper said that dozens of countries, including Anling Kingdom and Zhishui Kingdom, are still blocked. Tianya Jiange is still pursuing the evil dragon, and the situation is getting worse. The current situation is that the entire Wangquezhou Mountain
They are extremely sensitive to anything related to the demon clan, and those who have anything to do with that evil dragon are all treated as suspects, and all demon cultivators on the mountain must be registered in the Sikou Mansion's case files to find out their identities and past
Traces of several years.
Zhao Rong frowned slightly, feeling that the matter was not that simple, but after that, it probably had nothing to do with him, so he stopped thinking about it.
In addition, it's a shame that Su Xiaoxiao didn't go up the mountain, otherwise he would have been caught by the supervisory disciples of the Sikou Mansion here and sent back to Qiantang Mountain... Hey, why did Su Xiaoxiao escape this disaster? I feel a little disappointed.
?Hey, such a stupid little fox demon should stop wandering around outside.
Zhao Rong's eyes moved downwards.
There are currently two major events that are widely discussed on Wangquezhou Mountain.
At Siqi Academy, one of the two Confucian academies in Wangquezhou, a scholar was given the title of "Gentleman" by the Zhongzhou Confucian Temple.
This honor is extremely rare. Generally, it is only held by the headmaster and a few gentlemen in the two academies. However, the current scholar is only twenty years old and has just reached the crown. For such a young and talented man, it is no surprise that he is almost the default candidate.
The Mountain Lord, and the Mountain Lord of Siqi Academy is equivalent to half of the literary clan leaders of Wangque Continent, and is a prominent figure of Confucianism in this continent.
Therefore, this new gentleman was talked about in Wangquezhou Mountain.
I heard that he used to keep reading and immersed himself in learning without being known to the public. Now he is well-known and is not arrogant or impetuous. In private, he is also an upright gentleman. He is not only rigorous in his studies, but also strict with himself and others.
I am unmarried and have never set foot in a brothel. Fairies must hurry up...wait, what is below?
Zhao Rong's head was full of black lines. He glanced a little behind, and the back of the newspaper gradually turned into gossip.
Why did his mother dream of the bright moon entering her arms when she was pregnant with him?
Why did he grab a book on Confucian sages when he was one year old?
There were several talented and beautiful fairies on the mountain who sent him poems, and he responded seriously. He pointed out at length that some of the rhymes in their poems did not conform to the rhythm, and how to change them so as not to make such stupid mistakes...
How do you know all this?
It seems that this is the case everywhere. What everyone pays attention to is only interesting stories and gossip, not this gentleman's intellectual claims.
Zhao Rong shook his head, but as he was also a Confucian scholar, he was a little curious about this gentleman. He wondered if he had some unique knowledge that would impress people.
Another major event is that two geniuses from the four palaces of Taiqing successfully graduated, one boy and one girl. The former is named Cheng Lugui, who is twenty-eight years old and has a fifth-level golden elixir. The latter is named Lu Yaoer, who is twenty-seven years old and has a fourth-level golden elixir.
Both of their grades were engraved in the Taiqing Tianjiao Record. As soon as they graduated, a grand ceremony was held to become Taoist couples.
In fact, if it were just two geniuses from the four Taiqing mansions graduating and getting married, it would not be enough to attract such great attention.
What attracts the most attention in this matter is the identity of these two people.
One of them is the son of the deputy sect leader of the Xinran sect in the north of Wangquezhou, and he has a distinguished status.
Although the other person does not have a distinguished status, and was even born as an unknown hunter's daughter in an unknown mountain forest in an unknown small country in the east of Wangquezhou, she is amazingly talented and beautiful. She changed her fate against the will of heaven and entered the four palaces of Taiqing.
, and later became one of the best among her peers in the four palaces of Taiqing where geniuses gathered, and she was stunningly beautiful. She has always been one of the beauties of heaven among the four palaces of Taiqing. She has been ranked among various fairies in the newspapers on Wangque Mountain all year round.
.
Both of them are among the immortals, with good appearance, aptitude, equal age and cultivation. Now they are Taoist couple, and they are indeed popular in the eyes of the people on the mountain. It is a good story, but it is a pity for the admirers of Fairy Lu.
Already.
Zhao Rong put down his newspaper and thought about it.
Xinran Sect, he had heard about this sect, it was a behemoth.
If the entire Wangque Continent is divided into north and south, and unconventional sect-like forces such as Tianya Jiange, Taiqing Four Prefectures, and the Second Confucian Academy are not included, then Xinran Sect and Weiwei Mountain are the largest sects in the north of Wangque Continent.
The two sects of the Immortal Family carve up half of Wangque Continent together. As for the other half of Wangque Continent, many forces are established and there is no major sect.
In fact, this is something that Zhao Rong finds quite strange. Are Xinran Sect and Weiweishan both working for a living?
But even so, Xinran Sect is still the top force in Wangquezhou, and the deputy sect leader of this sect must be a big shot on the mountain.
Well, in this case, Fairy Lu has reached a higher level. Is this the otherworldly version of the Phoenix girl marrying into a wealthy family?
The reason why Zhao Rong thinks so much is because it involves the Four Prefectures of Taiqing, where there are people he wants to meet, and from Xiao Qian'er's tone before, if nothing happens, they can successfully complete their studies in the Four Prefectures of Taiqing, but
It's just a matter of time. Twenty-eight is the minimum standard for graduation, and I don't know how long it will take Qian'er and her.
Zhao Rong pursed his lips and looked down further.
The founder of the Zhaoxia Sect has traveled abroad for many years and brought back a precocious boy with golden pupils to train as a closed disciple. It is estimated that the fight for the leadership within the sect will become more intense...
The eldest son of the Lin family of Lanxi of the Zhongnan Kingdom, who had studied at Siqi Academy for many years, has now returned home after completing his studies and is preparing to fulfill his engagement and marry the daughter of the master of the Zhongnan Kingdom. The two of them are a talented man and a beautiful girl...
Zhao Rong browsed for a while and found that the back of the Di newspaper was full of content that had nothing to do with him. The only one that was linked to was the list of "Top Ten Young Talents that the Fairy on Wangquezhou Mountain is obsessed with". Zhao Rong read it with great interest.
From the top to the bottom of the list, I didn’t even see anyone starting with the character Zhao.
That's it?
A vulgar and meaningless list.
The scholar with the sword sneered, threw the newspaper behind him, and left casually. Thanks to the brothers for their recommendation votes, I am so excited for the second update. Finally, brothers who are taking the college entrance examination, cheers!
