Painting the way to becoming a saint: I command all the gods and demons Chapter 82 The Young Priest of the Xuanling Institute! Stepping on someone to take over?
Chapter 82 The Young Priest of the Xuanling Institute! Stepping on someone to take over?
The long robe worn by the young man is different from the Confucian robes in that it is broad and elegant. The light gold embroidery on it is extremely luxurious. The sleeves of the robe are narrow, which makes it look more capable, but it also makes the person feel a little more sophisticated.
A feeling of narrowness.
The young men behind him were similar to the gowns he wore, but the embroidery was changed from gold to silver.
"The people from Xuanlingyuan, the leader is...Chen Huan? Why is he here?"
Next to Gu Changsheng, Zhang Yue, who had been chatting with his fellow apprentices, frowned when he recognized the young man leading the group.
"Xuanlingyuan? Chen Huan?"
Gu Changsheng frowned: "Senior brother, are you from the Shinto Academy?"
"Exactly."
Zhang Yue nodded, with some worry in his tone: "I'm afraid these people are coming with bad intentions."
Gu Changsheng nodded in agreement, but there was no surprise on his face.
He was surprised before because he didn't know where these young people were from. After knowing that they were from the Shinto Temple, Gu Changsheng's doubts were solved.
Isn't it normal for people from the Shinto Institute to come and vandalize the academy?
The political power of the Great Zhou Dynasty was limited to this. In recent years, although the war between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the demon barbarians has not stopped, they have not conquered many new territories.
Without territory, there is no room for new officials to be appointed, and the political cake can only be so big.
As a newly rising power group, if the Shinto Temple wants to share the cake, it must take away a piece of the cake that was previously occupied by literati and warriors.
Before the rise of the Shinto Institute, the attitude of Wen Gui and Wu Qing of the Great Zhou Dynasty was already very clear. The cake taken by the literati was the biggest piece. Correspondingly, after the rise of the Shinto Institute, the cake taken from the literati's plates also had to be taken away.
It's much bigger than the cake the warrior holds on his plate.
Cutting off someone's financial path is like killing one's parents.
The cake of political power can last a family for three generations or even longer.
If Shinto officials do this, it is not killing their parents, but digging their ancestors' graves.
In addition, although the Confucian sages of this world did not directly put forward the statement of respecting ghosts and gods and staying away from them as Gu Changsheng did in his previous life, they also had similar discussions.
This also led to the fact that in the local area, the various spiritual institutions representing Shinto and the various academies representing literati were at odds with each other. Although they were not on equal footing, they were not much more friendly.
Students from Nankang Academy hold literary conferences here.
It is reasonable for the young priest of Xuanlingyuan to come and cause trouble.
Gu Changsheng squinted his eyes and looked at the leader, Chen Huan, with a flash of chill in his eyes, but it quickly dissipated.
To be fair, he didn't have much favorable impression of Shinto.
If only he could divide it.
Warriors and martial artists are naturally the people that Gu Changsheng wants to get close to the most. Who doesn't like a good brother who is bold and straightforward, and is willing to draw a sword with you and live and die with you as long as he is satisfied with his appetite?
As for Confucians, Confucianism, although there are figures like Shangguan Lu and Shen Shaokang who make Gu Changsheng quite disgusted.
But after coming to Nankang Mansion, I met Jiang Xue and the senior fellow students in the academy, especially the late Empress Zhang Yuebai who emphasized academics and personal practice.
Gu Changsheng felt that the Confucian scholars of this era may be pedantic, but they are not completely irredeemable and they just need to be changed.
Instead, these are the incense and Shinto.
In Gu Changsheng's opinion, it is the most useless.
The God of Incense and Fire indeed suppressed the local demons and ghosts to a certain extent, but it also directly caused the local people to only worship the gods but waste their livelihood.
Although there is no direct evidence.
But at least the righteous god of Nankang Mansion, Gu Changsheng, always felt that he had an inseparable connection with Shen Shaokang and that strange talisman.
Of course, put aside these gossips.
Damn it, Xuanlingyuan has already jumped in his face, forcing the commander of Nankang Camp to investigate the whereabouts of the Hunling Flower.
If there is a chance to slap Xuanlingyuan in the face, Gu Changsheng will definitely not miss it!
However, Gu Changsheng is not in a hurry to show off now.
Because, when Chen Huan, who represented Xuanlingyuan, spoke, the two hosts of this literary gathering in the academy could no longer sit still.
"Chen Huan, if I remember correctly, it seems that none of you from the Spiritual Academy are here to attend our cultural gathering."
In the main seat, Lin Qing stood up and spoke coldly, but the coldness in his tone was unconcealed.
Although Jiang Xue is the eldest brother of Nankang Academy, he has now entered the official career, but he has not yet officially completed his graduation ceremony.
The current de facto leaders of the liberal arts academy of Nankang Academy are Lin Qing and Luo Yun.
And now, Chen Huan from the Xuanling Academy actually jumped out and made fun of them at the cultural gathering to welcome their junior brother.
If Lin Qing can't handle it well, then tomorrow, not only Lin Qing, but the entire Nankang Academy will become a laughing stock!
"Brother Lin, why are you so serious? Maybe I am here to congratulate your institute on recruiting a new sage as a disciple?"
Listening to the coldness in Lin Qing's words, Chen Huan frowned slightly, but changed from his previous arrogance. Although his words were still a bit sinister, his tone was obviously much calmer.
It's not that Chen Huan is afraid of Lin Qing.
Instead, he was afraid of Luo Yun, who had the same evil eyes next to Lin Qing.
"Damn it, that bastard didn't even say that Luo Yun was here!"
Chen Huan cursed secretly in his heart, but at this moment, he had no way out.
Every local spiritual hospital has two important positions: high priest and priest.
The chief priest is the head of an academy, and his position is comparable to that of Nankang Academy.
The priest is a person who assists the chief priest. His status is equivalent to the deputy dean of Nankang Academy, and he has important teachings.
Except for these two.
Each spiritual academy will also train three to five young priests in each generation.
Among these young priests, the most outstanding will be the next generation of high priests of the Spiritual Academy in the future, and the rest will serve as priests to assist each other.
Chen Huan is one of the young priests of Xuanling Academy of this generation.
But his status is the last among the three young priests of Xuanlingyuan's generation.
That's why.
Only then did he have a wrong idea.
The academy and the Spiritual Academy have never been on good terms. If I could be at the cultural gathering held by Nankang Academy to welcome Gu Changsheng and make Nankang Academy and Gu Changsheng lose face, the priests above would definitely take a high look at me!
As for Gu Changsheng's status as a wise man in the country, if he were to humiliate him, would there be any consequences?
Chen Huan didn't care.
As a young priest, he knows much more information than the ordinary disciples of the Spiritual Academy behind him. The most important thing is.
"Priest Yun just went to [Qingshi Town] not long ago, just to thoroughly investigate Gu Changsheng!"
Obviously, this so-called sage who governs the country does not actually have much aura. It doesn't matter if Chen Huan steps on him. Maybe it will make Priest Yun value him more!
