I have always been curious about the two important staff members of the government, Jiang Xue, who is known as the two wise men of Nankang.
Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a literary cultivator, and he was also a muscular Confucian cultivator who conquered demons with his "virtue".
This discovery really surprised Gu Changsheng.
However, unexpectedly, Gu Changsheng didn't have much ill feelings towards Jiang Xue.
On the contrary, after learning some of Jiang Xue's past.
Gu Changsheng admired this senior brother Jiang Xue even more!
For example, Jiang Xue's Jiang family was an orthodox martial arts family, but Jiang Xue resolutely chose the path of Confucianism after traveling to the countryside one day and seeing the village that was destroyed by demons.
"A warrior can only kill monsters and ghosts."
"But Confucianism cultivators can suppress all demons and monsters! I, the great Zhou Yingjie, should be a Confucian scholar and martial arts cultivator, and it is our duty to pacify the demons and monsters in the world!"
If nothing else, these words can indeed be called extremely heroic.
But if that's all.
Jiang Xue is just a person with a smart mouth. Gu Changsheng has seen too many people like this in his past life and in this life.
But in fact, Jiang Xue said so and did so, and she really did it!
With the support of Nankang Yifu Zun and two wise men.
Three years ago, there were more than a hundred demons around Nankang Mansion, but now there are only about thirty, and 90% of them are just surviving.
Now, along with Bai Malin's demon Zi Xiangjun, he is killed by Gu Changsheng.
The demon entrenched in Nankang Mansion has lost one point!
Among them, Jiang Xue's contribution is not even 50%, but there are always three successes.
Based on this alone, the word "Senior Brother" made Gu Changsheng extremely convinced!
As for Gu Changsheng, why he understands these things so clearly is where...
Nankang Academy, Nankang Academy specially arranges temporary dormitories for newly admitted students.
Gu Changsheng looked at the young man in front of him who was wearing a green shirt and looked to be one or two years older than Gu Changsheng, about seventeen or early eighteen years old. He bowed solemnly and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Bai, for clearing up the confusion."
"Hey, hey, Junior Brother Gu is too polite."
The young man named Bai Wan quickly waved his hands to help Gu Changsheng up, his face full of nervousness and restraint.
Obviously he is older than Gu Changsheng, but in front of Gu Changsheng, he always feels like a little brother.
This is Gu Changsheng's second day in Nankang Mansion.
After bidding farewell to Jiang Xue yesterday, just as Jiang Xue said, no one cared about Hun Ling Hua anymore.
Gu Changsheng also separated from Yang Dong and Wang Li and went directly to Nankang Academy.
As a student who was admitted by imperial order, although Gu Changsheng's name has not yet been recorded in the academy, Nankang Academy has already made preparations.
After Gu Changsheng came to Nankang Academy and announced his name.
Not long after, Bai Wan came in a hurry and led Gu Changsheng to the temporary school building to rest. The next day, he came to help Gu Changsheng go through the various procedures for entering the academy.
"Senior brother, don't be so nervous. When you act like this, it seems like I am that man-eating monster."
Seeing Bai Wan's reserved look in front of him, Gu Changsheng couldn't help but speak.
Bai Wan sighed and waved his hand gently: "Junior brother, that's different."
"What's the difference? In my opinion, the importance of art is no less important than that of ancient sages' books! What's more, if art is really a minor path, how can you, senior brother, reach the ninth level?
?”
Gu Changsheng said seriously, his tone was solemn and sincere.
But it made Bai Wan's heart tremble. He took a deep breath and calmed down, but the expression on his face obviously softened a lot.
"Junior brother, if you can say this, senior brother... I'm very grateful, but..."
After calming down a little, Bai Wan reminded Gu Changsheng with a serious face: "It's best not to say what you just said in front of others. It's okay to talk about it in our Nankang Academy, but don't publicize it outside.
.”
"Why……"
After listening to Bai Wan's words, Gu Changsheng couldn't help but sigh helplessly. His expression was quite complicated, and he didn't know whether he should be happy or depressed.
Nankang Academy has nearly a thousand students studying here all year round.
With so many students, food, clothing, housing and transportation are a problem in itself.
They can do their own laundry and make their own beds and mattresses.
But where does the water for laundry come from, how do you find someone to repair a broken bed, or how do you deal with conflicts between students in the same dormitory?
So many chores need to be handled and managed by someone so that the students in the academy can concentrate on their studies.
The people responsible for handling these chores are not the handymen specially arranged by the academy, but another group of students from Nankang Academy, such as Bai Wan in front of Gu Changsheng.
What they cultivate is this world, another branch of Confucianism, and its name is [Shu].
In Gu Changsheng's understanding, as an artist, he actually prefers some knowledge of management in previous lives, but it is not as specific and clear as management in previous lives.
But even so, it is a practical theory that is quite rare in this world.
Most orthodox Confucian disciples accumulate the vitality of heaven and earth, cultivate the aura of Chinese culture in their chests, and even accumulate literary talents by reciting Confucian classics and understanding the ways of the sages.
However, the disciples of the Shu family quietly accumulate the vitality of heaven and earth and cultivate the aura of culture while managing various affairs.
Basically, every academy will recruit some of these martial artist disciples, and their tuition will be reduced or even free, and they will also be given certain monetary rewards based on the conditions of the school district they usually manage.
"A job arrangement similar to a subsidy for poor students, and it can also cultivate outstanding talents and wonderful designs, but..."
Seeing Bai Wan's serious look, Gu Changsheng couldn't help but shake his head gently.
Outside, Confucian literary cultivators look down on martial arts cultivators.
And within Confucianism.
Orthodox literary cultivators also look down upon the Confucians who practice Taoism.
Even if Gu Changsheng had not created national masterpieces, practiced painting, and regarded painting as his fundamental path, he would have received a certain amount of contempt.
"There is still a long way to go..."
Gu Changsheng sighed lightly.
In this world, there are monsters and savage tigers looking at us outside, and there are monsters and ghosts wreaking havoc inside.
Under this situation, the two most important and fundamental extraordinary powers of the human race, martial arts and Confucianism, are still severely separated, and Confucianism and Daoism are divided into small circles internally.
Orthodox literary cultivation discriminates against art and Taoist literary cultivation is just a microcosm, other than that.
For example, the great Confucian Sun Xun, who was angrily reprimanded by Gu Changsheng, followed the road of raising hopes, and the great Confucian who followed the exegesis line of immersing himself in the scriptures of sages also disliked each other, and there was also the hermit Confucian school who pursued seclusion in the mountains and forests...
Gu Changsheng didn't want to think about these things before.
But now it seems that this is not something he can decide whether he thinks about it or not.
As long as he wants to move forward, he will have to face these things sooner or later!
