After lunch and walking out of the palace, Li Mu was thinking about a question.
The "Four Sentences of Hengqu" appeared in this world for the first time and could arouse the resonance of heaven and earth. Logically speaking, it should be regarded as a newly created Taoism. However, Li Mu himself still failed to gain much benefit from it.
The creation of a new Taoist technique is accompanied by an opportunity to be filled with the power of heaven and earth.
This opportunity can allow practitioners at the peak of Dongxuan to step into transcendence.
He has brought many new Taoist techniques to this world. According to this rule, he should have enjoyed many infusions of the power of heaven and earth, and his cultivation has reached the eighth and ninth realms, not just the fourth realm of magical powers.
Could it be said that if you want to gain the power of heaven and earth, you must comprehend and create Taoism by yourself?
God's will is unpredictable, and the spiritual world has not yet figured out what the way of heaven is. It seems a bit unrealistic to think about it and become a super strong person in the world by plagiarizing a few mantras.
Li Mu sighed regretfully and decided not to aim too high, but to practice down-to-earth with peace of mind.
Just because you don't have inner demons now doesn't mean you won't in the future.
Practitioners' fear of inner demons is not subject to divine punishment. Inner demons will not only affect their cultivation and character, but even consume their life span. It is said that the late emperor had inner demons because of something, and his cultivation eventually regressed and his life span was reduced.
He ran out of energy and died.
Although the late emperor was not able to advance to transcendence until his death, he still had the cultivation level of Dongxuan. Not only the late emperor, but also the white-haired old man could lose control of his mind after his cultivation retreated, become possessed instantly, and lose his mind. Even the practitioners of Dongxuan
Unable to defeat his inner demons, Li Mude became even more careful.
If it hadn't been for Your Majesty at that time, I'm afraid Li Mu would have had to sacrifice the Golden Armor Divine Weapon Talisman.
The vice-president was deposed by His Majesty. I don’t know if Baichuan Academy will riot. Their dean is also detached. If the four major academies unite, I am afraid that His Majesty will not be able to withstand the pressure...
Baichuan Academy.
Vice President Huang has not woken up since he was sent back to the academy.
Vice President Chen looked at him with sorrow in his eyes and sighed: "Why is this necessary?"
A teacher said angrily: "Even if Your Majesty wants to attack the academy, you shouldn't be so cruel to Mr. Huang. Isn't she afraid of chilling the students of the academy and chilling the hearts of the people in the world?"
Vice-President Chen shook his head and said: "Huang Lao's realm has fallen. He has no hope of transcendence in this life. He has become a demon. If a strong man in the upper three realms stops him, an possessed Dongxuan practitioner can massacre a city and destroy a country..."
One of the teachers sighed and said: "His Majesty has decreed that from now on, all officials in the imperial court must pass the imperial examination. Where should the academy go from here?"
"Haha, the imperial court selects officials based on the best. If the students taught by the academy cannot compare with others, it means they are not talented enough. Even if they lose, there is nothing to complain about."
There was a burst of laughter in everyone's ears, and a thin middle-aged man walked in from outside.
"Dean!"
When they saw the middle-aged man, everyone bowed. Even Vice President Chen bowed slightly to him. Then he looked at the white-haired old man lying on the bed and said, "Dean, Mr. Huang..."
The middle-aged man said: "I know everything."
He waved his sleeves, and a white light enveloped the white-haired old man's body. The old man's frowned brows furrowed, but he still did not open his eyes.
The middle-aged man shook his head and sighed, saying, "He doesn't want to wake up again."
Vice President Chen sighed, but he was not surprised.
Dongxuan practitioners are so powerful that one person can defeat thousands of armies. They observe the sky, know the number of stars, and move mountains and seas with just a few movements of their hands. In the eyes of mortals, they are like gods.
I’m afraid it would be unacceptable for anyone to change from a powerful god to an ordinary person.
It is reasonable for Mr. Huang not to wake up and face this cruel reality.
The middle-aged man said: "I once advised him that although the academy can help him concentrate his thoughts and practice, it is also a cage for him. He is trapped by this cage, enslaved by obsession, and ultimately destroyed by obsession...
"
Vice President Chen knew very well that the existence of the academy played a vital role in Huang Lao's practice.
It is precisely for this reason that he does not want to see the academy decline, because if the academy declines, his practice will also be hindered.
This is his selfishness.
It is a pity that the selfish Mr. Huang met the selfless Li Mu.
One is for his own cultivation, the other is for the people, and for the eternal foundation of the Zhou Dynasty. This time, even the law of heaven is on Li Mu's side.
The middle-aged man walked out of the room and said: "In the past few years, I have still neglected the management of the academy."
Vice President Chen immediately said: "It's all my fault. I only cared about their cultivation and studies and neglected their morals, which led to the formation of such unhealthy trends in the academy."
The middle-aged man said: "The academy is a place for teaching and educating people, and cultivating talents for the Great Zhou Dynasty. This was also the original intention of Emperor Wen when he founded the academy. It is better not to get involved in government affairs."
Vice President Chen nodded and said, "Yes."
The matter of Vice President Huang of Baichuan Academy became known to everyone in the capital within a few days.
As the spiritual symbol of Baichuan Academy, Mr. Huang has been in the academy all his life. He has trained many capable ministers for the imperial court. His status in the hearts of the people is naturally very high. Many students of Baichuan Academy also regard him as
Belief.
But now, their faith has collapsed.
Not only that, the rules between the academy and the imperial court that had been maintained for more than a hundred years had also undergone complete changes.
During the past hundred years, the powerful, officials, and prominent families of the Zhou Dynasty sent their children to academies to study in the academies for three years, and then all of them would be accepted by the imperial court.
The outstanding students among them will be awarded official positions immediately and become officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
If there are no official vacancies in the court, they will have to wait, but in any case, students who come out of the academy will become officials of the Zhou Dynasty sooner or later. This has been the case for the past hundred years.
However, from now on, this concept of rules that has been deeply rooted in everyone's hearts is about to change.
Officials after the imperial court were no longer all produced by academies. All the people of the Zhou Dynasty, as long as they had a clean background, no matter rich or poor, no matter how high or low, no matter whether they were officials or not, powerful people, or children of famous families, as long as they passed the unified examination of the imperial court, they would have the opportunity to enter the court.
Be an official.
From then on, the lower class people of the Zhou Dynasty also had the opportunity to rise to the upper class.
Although this will touch the interests of the powerful and prominent families, it is rare that officials in the DPRK and China representing the interests of all parties have remained silent on this matter.
Because the four major academies have also been silent.
The existence of the four major academies was, firstly, to provide talents for the imperial court, and secondly, to contain the imperial power. This was a decision made by a wise emperor, Emperor Wen of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
During the reign of Emperor Wen, the seas and rivers of the Great Zhou Dynasty were clear, and the people lived a prosperous and happy life. This was the most prosperous age since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Emperor Wen was worried that future emperors of the Zhou Dynasty would be ignorant and unprincipled, ruining the foundation laid by their ancestors, so he specially gave the four major academies a special privilege.
If the emperor is fatuous and brings disaster to the Zhou Dynasty, the academy can correct the chaos and bring the Zhou Dynasty back on track.
In the past hundred years, this power has only been used once by the four major academies.
During the period of the late emperor, the late emperor arbitrarily revised the laws and favored nepotism, which caused widespread resentment among the people of the Zhou Dynasty and a tainted atmosphere in the court. The late emperor did not listen to his advice and many loyal and upright officials were killed. The Zhou Dynasty was full of internal worries and external enemies were also ready to take action...
At that time, the four major academies came forward to completely suppress the court and completely evacuate the power of the late emperor.
At that time, the Imperial Qi was not born in the ancestral temple, and the late emperor's cultivation level was only Dongxuan, which was accumulated based on the resources of the royal family.
In front of the four major academies, the Xiao royal family had no room for resistance.
After this incident, the late emperor was deeply hit, with many inner demons, and he retreated instead of advancing in his cultivation. He died in depression within a few years. The Zhou family seized that opportunity and pushed the queen to the highest position.
This time the Queen wanted to shake the foundations of the four major academies, but the four major academies did not resist. It was not just because the Queen was different from the late emperor and had reached a transcendent level in cultivation.
I'm afraid, even the academy recognizes the Queen's actions...
