Yunzhou City is one of the two major cities in Yunzhou.
It was also one of the most important cities in the Zhou Dynasty, and its status was only lower than Kyoto.
This is not only a gathering place for major Confucian schools, but also the top sects in the world will set up residence here.
Therefore, there are many mortals and monks, and of course Confucianism is extremely prosperous here.
The reason is also very simple. The last Confucian saint was born here.
Scholars who are rarely seen in ordinary times can be seen everywhere here.
It can be said that in today's world, in terms of prosperity, there are not many places that can compare with it. Moreover, Yunzhou Academy is also known as the most prestigious academy in the world. It is inclusive of all things and has great Confucians from various universities lecturing here.
During this period of time, as the Longyuan Conference was about to begin, it also attracted forces from all over the world.
This makes the nearest Yunzhou City more lively than before, with powerful monks coming in and out every day.
On this day, at the foot of Yunzhou City.
Three figures landed from mid-air and stood under the city.
"Is this Yunzhou City?" As soon as he landed, Chen Jingyun raised his head with a slightly surprised look in his eyes.
What he saw in front of him was an extremely tall city wall, dozens of feet tall. The wall was pure white and seemed not stained by a trace of dust. It exuded a unique aura. If you felt it carefully, you could still find a certain aura in it.
Pure, gentle power.
Although the walls of this city are extremely majestic, when you stand below, you don't feel the feeling of being overbearing.
On the contrary, it seems that it can accommodate everything and allow anyone to enter.
Chen Jingyun is from Qingzhou. As a scholar, he also has a lot of knowledge, but this is the first time he has seen a huge city like Yunzhou. Even though he has already heard about the prosperity of Yunzhou City, he still can't help showing a look of surprise.
color.
"Yes, this is Yunzhou City." Next to him, Xu Changyu nodded with a smile on his face.
Although he has been here several times, he still feels emotional every time he sees it.
So at this moment, Xu Changyu couldn't help but continue: "It is rumored that Yunzhou City was built as a holy place of Confucianism, with a gathering of culture both inside and outside. When there were three battles between humans and demons, the situation was extremely dangerous, but Yunzhou City was
Demons cannot invade, so even if thousands of years pass, some cities will disappear over time, and only Yunzhou City will be independent."
He opened his mouth and told him that this was about the history of Yunzhou. After all, as a disciple of Shushan, he had more knowledge than ordinary people.
After Chen Jingyun heard this, his eyes also showed surprise, and his eyes changed slightly.
Scholars are naturally fascinated by this city, which is the holiest place of Confucianism.
"Okay, let's enter the city."
However, Song Zhishu didn't say much and motioned for them to enter the city together.
In fact, he also wanted to see Yunzhou City, which is known to have the best literary style in the world.
But soon, as the three of them walked to the city gate, they discovered that not far away, there were three or two old men in Confucian clothes, standing there waiting quietly.
When they saw Song Zhishu, a hint of surprise appeared in their eyes, and they quickly walked forward.
One of them, a tall white-haired old man, looked him up and down and then said directly: "May I ask who is Song Zhishu, Song Xiaoyou?"
The old man's demeanor is elegant, his eyes show the vicissitudes of life, but there is a wisdom hidden in it, and there are wisps of extremely thick Confucian righteousness surging all over his body, showing that the old man has very high attainments in Confucianism.
"It's the junior." Song Zhishu was a little confused, but still answered truthfully.
"I am traveling far away."
The old man smiled, and then continued: "I have heard about Song Xiaoyou's name for a long time, and now I can see it. Sure enough, there are no empty ones under the great reputation."
As a great Confucian, he could naturally see that the solid Confucian righteousness in Song Zhishu's body was perfectly combined with the magical power of the immortal way. From this aspect, it can be judged that this young man has a profound understanding of Confucianism.
Insights may have blazed its own path.
Even I myself have never seen many young people like this.
"Mr. Cen, are you Mr. Cen?"
Before Song Zhishu could answer, Chen Jingyun beside him suddenly looked shocked and said quickly: "Student Chen Jingyun, I have met Mr. Cen."
After saying that, he immediately performed a Confucian disciple's salute, very respectfully, as if he were meeting his own master.
"Jingyun? I heard Cheng Hong said you are good."
Seeing this, the old man nodded, smiled, and then turned his attention to Song Zhishu again.
After all, I and several
"Mr. Cen is the dean of Yunzhou Academy and a great scholar of the Zongsheng lineage. He has a very high status and is currently the leader of the Zongsheng school. According to seniority, he should be the teacher of Mr. Cheng Hong, the dean of Qingzhou Academy."
"Your portrait has been spread throughout the world. I am afraid that many people know about your participation in the Longyuan Conference, but they don't know your specific whereabouts."
"Mr. Cen knew you were coming. I guess it must have been a letter from Mr. Cheng Hong."
Next to him, Xu Changyu transmitted the message into the secret, and then, like Chen Jingyun, he bowed and saluted.
Although he is a disciple of Shushan, the other party is a great Confucian scholar with a very high status, so naturally he cannot be trusted.
The leader of the Zongsheng school?
No wonder.
After hearing the explanation, Song Zhishu knew the old man's identity and immediately handed over his hand: "Student Song Zhishu, I have met Mr. Cen."
The number of great Confucians in this world is not very large, even after the saint has passed away. Moreover, the other party is still the leader of a university sect. In other words, in terms of status, he is basically the same as the heads of major sects.
, not even comparable to the great Confucian scholar Gu Yun.
Because each school of Confucianism can be understood as a sect, the leader is the leader.
What's more, the old man in front of him also has the identity of the dean of Yunzhou Academy.
Wherever he goes, he will be respected by countless people.
"No need to be polite."
Cen Xingyuan stroked his beard and smiled, and continued: "Would you like to go to Yunzhou Academy with me to have a look?"
Yunzhou Academy, the most prestigious academy in the world, was founded by Zong Sheng. It is rumored that there are books and insights left by the saint. It is a holy place that scholars all over the world yearn for. At this moment, he extended an invitation to Song Zhishu, and his tone was extremely sincere.
“It’s a great honor, and students are naturally willing to go.”
When Song Zhishu heard this, he did not refuse. First, the other party was an elder and a master of Confucianism.
Furthermore, he is also curious about Yunzhou Academy and wants to visit the academy, which is regarded as a holy place by scholars all over the world, so as to gain more knowledge.
Chen Jingyun naturally wanted to follow him. He came to Yunzhou not for the Longyuan Conference, but for knowledge and practice. Maybe he could find an opportunity by going to Yunzhou Academy?
"Fellow Daoist Song and Daoyou Chen, let's go. I'm not a Confucian disciple, and I have important matters to attend to, so I won't go." Next to him, Xu Changyu slightly cupped his hands and said with a smile, Shushan also has a station in Yunzhou, and he can go there to rest.
, and Song Zhishu previously solved the demon incident in Kaiyang City, he can go and help the other party to complete the task and get the reward.
After all, his most important thing now is to help Song Zhishu become the next leader of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance.
Naturally, I have to arrange all the chores.
"Xu Xiaoyou, walk slowly."
Cen Xingyuan nodded and then made a gesture of invitation.
From this aspect, we can see how much he attaches great importance to Song Zhishu.
Although the other party is not yet at the level of a gentleman and is also a junior, reading the article on the Way of University is enough for him.
Moreover, even the two great scholars beside him had curiosity and appreciation in their eyes at this moment.
To them, Song Zhishu was different from other scholars.
soon.
Under the leadership of Cen Xingyuan, Song Zhishu entered Yunzhou City.
The street is wide enough for ten carriages to run parallel to each other. The houses on both sides look like this, and further away there are palaces, which are full of splendor.
Different from Qingzhou, in addition to monks, there are more ordinary people on the streets. There are tea shops, wine shops, steamed bun shops, and even entertainers. It is very lively and looks like a world full of smoke and fire.
Obviously, in this Yunzhou, mortals and monks live together, blending in with each other and not infringing on each other.
To be able to do this, there is no doubt that the rules in the city are very strict.
Otherwise, generally speaking, it is difficult for mortals and monks to coexist peacefully, and troubles are prone to occur. However, Song Zhishu did not notice this situation when he looked all the way, but it is normal to think about it. After all, this is a city built by a saint, and
The Great Zhou Dynasty is behind it.
In addition, many Confucian scholars, even monks and sect disciples, must strictly abide by it.
"Zong Sheng said that Confucian principles should be found among the world, and it pays attention to living in the world. If you stay away from the world, you will fall into the lower realm. This is also the purpose that Zong Sheng's line has always pursued. Therefore, in Yunzhou, mortals and monks have equal status.
, whoever makes a mistake will be dealt with fairly."
As if he sensed Song Zhishu's unusual movements, Cen Xingyuan smiled and began to explain one by one and continued.
"Speaking of it, this approach is similar to the fairness that my little friend once emphasized in Taihao Sword Sect."
He basically knew everything about what Song Zhishu did.
Pay attention to fairness, know what is good and do what is good.
The holy path created by Zong Sheng was similar to it, so Cen Xingyuan spoke at this moment.
"That's it." Song Zhishu nodded after hearing this. There was a flash of light in his eyes, as if he had guessed something.
Seeing this, Cen Xingyuan didn't say much and continued to move forward. At the same time, Confucian righteousness surged under his feet, lifting Song Zhishu and Chen Jingyun to move forward quickly. At the same time, they looked at the scenery of Yunzhou City and quickly headed in the direction of Yunzhou Academy.
At the same time, Yunzhou City was the residence of Southern Confucianism.
In the lobby.
Several great scholars gathered together and took their seats.
"I heard that little friend Song has set off some time ago to attend the Longyuan Conference. I don't know when he will arrive." One of them said, it was Ning Ping Da Ru, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
"It should be just the next few days. I have sent people to guard the gates of various cities day and night. We will have news as soon as Little Friend Song arrives."
The person who spoke was Xu Yuan, one of the four great Confucians who went to Taihao Sword Sect to preach.
"It's a pity that Brother Gu Yun is still making final preparations and can't get away for the time being. Otherwise, we can go with Brother Gu Yun to welcome Little Friend Song. If Little Friend Song attends the Longyuan Conference by then, we will surely have a chance of winning again.
." Another great scholar spoke, it was Li Jing.
This time, the Southern Confucianists were restricted from bringing out the university method. Song Zhishu could be said to be their hope.
These words also made several great scholars present nod their heads. There was no other way, so only the younger generation of scholars were allowed to participate in this conference.
Even if a few people have theories, they can't just hand them over to the students and present them at the conference, right?
In that case, even if you come out on top, it would still be a bit of a defeat.
"Gentlemen, it's not good."
At this time, a young man suddenly ran in from outside. After a slight greeting, he said directly: "I saw Mr. Song entering the city, but he was picked up by Mr. Cen. It seems that he is going to Yunzhou.
Academy.”
As soon as these words came out.
Ningping and other great scholars all stood up and said in unison: "That's not good!"
