Chapter 164 Urgent Report from Kyoto
When Chen Luo returned to the academy, he happened to meet Master Xiang.
He had his hands behind his back.
Still holding the ruler given to him in his hand,
he walked in the courtyard.
Occasionally, when I saw some students playing around, I frowned slightly and coughed lightly.
Those students were so frightened that they didn't even dare to speak.
Submissive.
Terrified.
At this time, Master Xiang would nod with satisfaction.
He probably felt that his majesty was enough.
It is indeed true...
the academy has grown in size over the years.
Students have covered several nearby counties and cities, and students from other states also come to study.
The number of masters was originally only two or three, but now it has reached more than ten here,
including rituals, music, archery, imperial examinations, books, and numbers.
Four books.
Five Classics.
art of war.
Public opinion.
Don't even leave it behind.
Of course.
It’s not without reason that Yushan Academy can be so large.
Take the imperial examination in the ten years of Hanwu as an example.
There were a total of 350 Jinshi in the Zhou Dynasty, but Yushan Academy only had 15 of them!
It seems that this number is not large.
But you must know that it is not easy for a scholar to become a Jinshi...
Tongsheng, Xiucai, Juren, Jinshi.
Based on the tenth year of the Han Dynasty, there were 300,000 students in the Great Zhou Dynasty...
but in the end, only 350 people became Jinshi.
Yushan Academy alone has fifteen people, which is amazing.
I still remember the scene in the tenth year of the Han Dynasty, when the whole court and the whole world were shocked...
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty even personally wrote the words "Yushan Academy" and gave it to Yushan Academy.
Master Xiang happened to be the most senior and serious Master in Yushan Academy.
Naturally, these students are afraid of him.
"Sir?"
Master Xiang suddenly froze for a moment. He quickly came to Chen Luo and saluted respectfully: "I've seen you, sir. When did you leave seclusion?" "
Leave seclusion?"
Chen Luo didn't react.
"The Cat Queen said that Mr. Cat is in seclusion these days and asked us not to disturb him, so he didn't go up."
This is why Chen Luo likes the Cat Queen.
What a...
good disciple!
"I just came out of the customs. I was bored and went down the mountain for a walk.
"It should be so. "
Chen Luo was chatting with the master, but the students over there were all puzzled and surprised.
"Who is that young man?
"To be called sir? "
"Master Xiang actually saluted him? " "
This... this is incredible. That's Master Xiang! "
Everyone was talking.
Some students actually recognized Chen Luo: "That's Mr. Chen Luo. He actually went down the mountain. It's incredible! " "
When everyone heard this, they all gasped.
The eyes looking at Chen Luo were full of admiration and admiration.
Don't fight for justice!
It is known to the whole world
that he is an immortal on earth...
He has saved Dazhou countless times.
"Listen It is said that Eunuch Bu Zheng lives in the back mountain. As long as we can go up to the back mountain, we will have the opportunity to become the disciple of Eunuch Bu Zheng. Our dean is said to be a disciple of Eunuch Bu Zheng! "
Really?" "
It would be great if I could enter the back mountain, but I can't."
"I do know how to get in, but it depends on luck."
" How to get in? " "
On the second floor, I heard that there is a way to get into the back mountain on the second floor, but no one has succeeded yet!" "
...
Everyone was chatting, but Chen Luo heard it very clearly.
Second floor?
Become a disciple?
What the hell?
When did you say that you would accept disciples after entering the back mountain?
It seems that you never said that Right?
He looked at Master Xiang and explained to Master Xiang: "Many students in the academy know what Mr. Xiang did at Yushan Academy. Later, the academy was annoyed, so Master said, what's the use of going to the back mountain every day? If you want to become Mr.'s disciple, you might as well go to the second floor and study hard... If you study well, you might be able to become Mr.'s disciple.
As a result, there was a rumor that there was a way to the back mountain on the second floor, and someone could become Mr.'s disciple. "
Chen Luo didn't know what to say for a while.
Should he be worried that he was being sought after?
Or should he be worried that those students were too naive. Do
they believe such a thing?
But...
after returning to the back mountain, Chen Luo crackled again. More than a dozen maze formations were arranged in the back mountain, but he felt that it was not enough, so he arranged one or two more. Chen Luo breathed a sigh of relief when he looked at the formation, which was more than ten heavy. So many formations
...
this Even a strong Jindan or even a Nascent Soul might not be able to get in, right?
Hmm... He inexplicably hoped that those students would continue to come in.
He swore that if any student could come in, then he would accept this disciple. So what's the matter?
"I've met Master,"
Cat Lady saluted.
Chen Luo squinted his eyes: "Cat Lady, can you transform? "
Cat Lady:...
"Chen Luo, Chen Luo, I can transform. "
Xiao Bai ran over and shouted to Chen Luo, with a look on his face asking for praise.
Chen Luo was surprised.
"You transformed? "
Are all of them like this?
They can't do this or that in front of me, but I've only been away for a long time, and I know everything?
I don't want to bully others like this!
"Yes, yes, I'll change it for you! "
Xiao Bai shouted.
A burst of smoke appeared.
In Chen Luo's expectant eyes, a furry ball appeared in front of him.
Chen Luo: ...
He looked at Cat Lady.
The cat lady stood like a human, with a smile on her face: "Little Bai Taoist friend discovered a few days ago that if she put her tail and limbs away and buried her head in her arms, it would form a perfect ball... It felt like , this is transformation."
"Yes, yes, Chen Luo, am I super powerful?" The
white flesh ball rolled around in front of Chen Luo, and Xiao Bai's voice came from inside, but it was Spread farther and farther.
"Huh? Chen Luo, where are you? I can't see the road..."
He looked at the meatball rolling out of the yard.
Chen Luo sighed softly and said to the Cat Lady: "To be honest, if you don't have much contact with it, our family is really worried. Then you will become just like it." "Xiao Bai is quite cute.
"
Chen Luo said: "That's called stupidity."
...
The days in the academy are very leisurely.
Although Chen Luo is a role model for others.
But for him, nothing has changed.
There is nothing to do except bask in the sun, fish, yawn, and drink.
Cat Lady likes to read...
and doesn't need Chen Luo's teaching at all.
Chen Luo also asked her what spell she wanted to learn.
Formation path.
Fu Dao.
Instrument Road.
Dan said.
Six skills and
five elements.
It's a mess, all kinds of miscellaneous knowledge.
As long as she is willing to learn, Chen Luo is willing to teach.
However, the Cat Lady thought about it for a while, and finally felt: It is not needed anymore...
She felt that her way would be found in the book.
Chen Luo felt this was wrong.
As a master, how can you teach your disciples nothing?
So he told the Cat Lady that it had another path called the Grilled Path...
The Cat Lady asked, what is the Grilled Path?
Chen Luo said, the way to grill fish!
The Cat Lady thought about it for a moment and thought this was okay... Mainly mice and fish... This was too tempting for the Cat Lady.
In her heart, reading comes first, mice second, and fish third.
Of course I can't refuse.
Chen Luo asked, where is he?
The positions one, two, and three are all occupied, so why can’t I have a place in my heart?
After all, he is also its master.
Normally it's not number one, right?
Cat Lady replied: This is different, the master is for worship...
Chen Luo's face turned dark at that time.
He is still alive.
It’s being offered now, isn’t it a little too early?
As for Ning Shuan, this is definitely the easiest.
After becoming a disciple, he continued to teach.
At first, he went up the mountain every day to say hello...but until he accidentally fell down and broke his leg one day, Chen Luo felt that going up the mountain too frequently every day was not a good thing.
He was allowed to have sex once a month.
Ning Shuan felt that this was not in line with etiquette.
Teacher, father!
How could it be so disrespectful?
I should have bowed down to greet you sooner or later...
it's not enough to greet you once a day. How could I greet you once a month?
Absolutely not!
As a result...
he fell again not long after,
and watched Chen Luo treat himself again.
He was still extremely tired and pale.
Ning Shuan was full of guilt: "Disciple, I am ashamed. I have lived for more than sixty years and still let my master work so hard." "That's
right. Who told us that our master is your master?"
Chen Luo coughed.
He coughed up blood.
Ning Shuan was so frightened that he panicked.
He asked to go to the back mountain once a month... He was worried that Chen Luo would have to worry about it again.
Chen Luo nodded.
Quite reluctant to give up.
"I can only see Shu'an once a month. Hey... I will miss you as a teacher."
Ning Shu'an came down from the mountain.
Chen Luo moved out the chair and lay directly in the yard to bask in the sun.
The recliner rocked back and forth. Occasionally take a sip of wine and
crack some melon seeds.
I took out the book "About Behaviors Indispensable in the Process of Human Inheritance and Reproduction" and read it, occasionally making tut-tsk sounds.
Call them a bitch.
Call it immoral,
take a sip along the way,
don't say anything...
Without Ning Shuan pulling him to read and discuss Confucianism and Taoism every day, this life would be ridiculously fun!
So as soon as he returned to the mountain behind the academy, Chen Luo began his unruly and lazy days.
I have been away from the academy for more than two months.
Although Guobei County is good.
But planting trees is a bit boring.
Now that I'm back, I naturally need to cleanse my mind...
So.
Chen Luo took out the [Palace Secret Book]...
This book was brought out from the Kyoto Library, and it is also Xiao Jing's true love...
Although he has read a lot over the years.
I have long known every little detail, and I am deeply impressed.
But sometimes, what you read is not a book, but life...
Naturally, even if it is familiar, Chen Luo will take it out and review it again, and from time to time, there will always be different gains. [
You watched it This "Palace Secret Book" is quite old, and even the fonts and pictures are a bit blurry. It has a vague sense of different feelings.
Your four arts have been improved.
Experience value +100!
PS: Confucius said: Review the old and learn the new...]
But that night Master Xiang came to see me for a drink, and he also brought something that surprised Chen Luo.
Something happened at Putuo Temple.
I heard it's very weird.
At first, I didn’t know what was going on. I heard that the pilgrims were still burning incense and worshiping Buddha.
But suddenly, the tallest Buddha in the hall crackled and was full of cracks.
Then, the crack seemed to spread, spreading all over the Buddha statues in Putuo Temple. Finally, with a bang, these Buddhas exploded at the same time and turned into powder.
You must know that there are more than a hundred Buddha statues in Putuo Temple, large and small.
How shocking must it be to see that scene where they both turned into powder at the same time?
Forget it!
After the Buddha statue turned into powder...
the novice monks in the temple became even weirder.
Flames appeared from their bodies and burned them to ashes.
In a short period of time, this flame spread throughout Putuo Temple...
the entire Putuo Temple turned into a sea of fire.
When the pilgrims were fleeing, they heard that they saw the abbot of Putuo Temple: Master Facheng...
He seemed to be crazy.
The one sitting in the Huating Pavilion was laughing and looking extremely ferocious... He was also holding a torch in his hand and setting fires everywhere.
Some pilgrims even said that they saw him kill a monk with their own eyes.
"Master Facheng is a strong man in the Jindan realm, and Putuo Temple is still his dojo. Is he crazy? Why did he set fire to the temple? Forget it, and kill those innocent monks?" "Innocent?"
Xiang
Fuzi He sneered: "That evil method practiced by Monk Facheng uses the souls of monks and goblins as the source of incense. In the name of salvation, I don't know how many ghosts have been refined and swallowed in the past few years. .
Those stupid people give him incense every day, but they don't know that they are just food in his eyes. Those monks are not good people. They are just slaves kept by Monk Facheng. What kind of good people are they?" Chen Luo frowned slightly:
" That's why he wanted to arrest Adou?"
"That's probably the case. It's just that the husband didn't fight and didn't want to cause trouble. He swallowed his breath and just left the talisman on the gate of the academy to protect the safety of the academy. But the old monk was too useless
. They actually sent a fierce ghost to attack.
If it weren't for the talisman, the academy would be in danger. Sir, you should have sensed it, right?"
Chen Luo nodded: "I did sense it at the beginning, but it was very subtle, so I didn't take it to heart. It didn't work. I don't think this old monk is such a person!"
"So, what happened to Putuo Temple is not worthy of mercy at all.
But I do think that I might know what happened to the old monk!"
Chen Luo's heart skipped a beat.
"Do you know what happened?"
This shouldn't be the case...
no one knew when he left the academy.
It's easier to look at.
And I just planted trees and did nothing. How could I know this?
Could this guy be cheating?
"The old monk practiced such evil techniques, and all he swallowed were those ghosts and spirits. I guess he was backlashed and lost his mind!"
Master Xiang said.
When he said this, he was extremely certain of his judgment.
besides.
It’s really hard to think of any other possibility!
Chen Luo gave a thumbs up...
"Master Xiang is right, that's for sure..."
"I just don't know if the old monk is still alive or not,"
Master Xiang said bitterly: "If he is not dead, sooner or later, he will..." Swallow him in one gulp..."
"I guess you have no chance." "
Hey, after all, you are a strong golden elixir, how can it be so easy... But I guess I have to go into seclusion recently." "
Huh?"
"It's vaguely agreed. It is possible to enter the realm of golden elixir... It's just a pity that without the golden elixir guide, if there is one, the probability of this breakthrough will increase a lot, right?
Huh?
What is this?"
He watched Chen Luo take it out and put it The elixir in front of him.
He looked at Chen Luo in confusion.
"A good friend left the golden elixir to our family in the past. Since Master Xiang needs it, let's take it and use it first. But as we agreed, we will need to pay it back when the time comes!" Master
Xiang fell silent.
Looking at Chen Luo in front of him.
I don't know why my eyes suddenly turned red.
Then he picked up the elixir and took back his storage bag.
He bowed deeply to Chen Luo.
Then...
turned around and went up Siguo Cliff.
Chen Luo: "Does this mean seclusion? Why didn't you say hello?"
He shook his head.
Looked at the storage bag.
There are only three golden elixirs left inside.
Strange to say.
The Jinling Temple has accumulated so many years of knowledge, but only these three golden elixirs can lead to it.
It's also a bit too poor.
It's just...
"Master Xiang's words reminded our family that after this person dies, there will be a chance for reincarnation. The old monk is still a strong man in the golden elixir. If he dies, his soul strength will naturally be stronger than that of ordinary people... This chance of
reincarnation , it will be bigger."
Chen Luo thought for a moment.
Take out three incense sticks from the storage bag.
Lit...
Facing the direction of Guobei County in the distance.
A bow!
Thinking, it’s not enough…
Two bows!
Three bows!
Then he inserted it casually under the peach blossom tree.
Seeing the scent of incense, Chen Luo breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, it was an acquaintance.
He still hoped that he could be reincarnated as soon as possible.
However, in the next period of time, Chen Luo obviously felt that Wu Adou had become extra hard-working.
Every time I see him.
Or I am managing the peach blossom tree.
Or just plant trees.
Sometimes he just sweeps the floor...
and the look in his eyes is even more respectful and admiring.
Chen Luo scratched his head and asked Cat Lady: "Did he take the wrong medicine?"
Cat Lady smiled and said: "I'm probably thanking you for saving your life and taking revenge!" "
It's easy to say that you saved your life, but this is revenge. Where does this grace come from?"
Chen Luo felt it was necessary to explain to Cat Lady and the others.
"Cat Lady, Master, I won't fight!"
The cat lady was full of smiles: "Yes... Master, if you don't fight, everyone in the world will know it!"
Chen Luo was satisfied.
There's nothing wrong with that.
...
Time flies.
Time hastened people.
Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.
The war between Da Qin and Da Zhou has become more and more fierce...
There are seven states on the border between Da Zhou and Da Qin...
In the past ten years, the war between these seven states has not stopped.
The death toll was even more tragic.
Baishan and Wei Feng fight Makino.
The death toll exceeded one million...
the attack could not be defeated for a long time.
The Qin Dynasty sent General Meng Kuo to attack Liangzhou... all the way to the abdomen of the Zhou Dynasty with great momentum, strangulating a total of 400,000 living men of the Zhou Dynasty.
Fortunately, Dazhou has produced another handsome general in recent years: Huo Qi!
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty overcame all the obstacles...
and appointed Huo Qi, who was only thirteen years old, as the commander-in-chief of the Zhou Dynasty. He led an army of 350,000 people and marched straight to Yizhou. They slaughtered everyone along the way. In just ten days, the army Three cities!
In addition, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty appointed General Li Kuang to lead 300,000 troops to intercept Meng Kuo.
Da Qin cannot advance even an inch!
No retreat!
However, perhaps this move aroused the anger of General Baishan...
He massacred 100,000 prisoners of the Great Zhou Dynasty in Muye!
This move aroused public outrage... Zhou retaliated with tooth and buried 130,000 Qin prisoners alive.
The Great Zhou and Great Qin ushered in the era of no prisoners.
On the battlefield, there are only two types of people left.
winner.
And dead people!
The land of Makino, a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood... The bones accumulated over the years have built a corpse city wall that is more than dozens of miles long and dozens of feet high.
And in the world of cultivating immortals...
there are also turmoils.
The Great Zhou Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the three sects have experienced no less than dozens of battles.
The death toll was horrific.
Finally, a contract for the Great Zhou Immortal Cultivation Alliance was signed.
It was agreed that within a hundred years, there would be no more wars and peace would develop...
However...
the Da Zhou Immortal Realm wanted peace.
But Great Qin had no such idea...
In the 18th year of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty.
Immortal cultivators from Great Qin invaded Great Zhou and killed more than thirteen disciples of the Xianxia Sect. Before the Xianxia Sect could react, a stronghold of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance was destroyed!
So far.
The war of cultivating immortals between Da Qin and Da Zhou has officially begun!
Chen Luo didn't care about this.
He still fished, read and sunbathed, and occasionally practiced boxing.
However, his cultivation has improved a lot over the years... Before he knew it, he had reached the seventh level of foundation building.
only.
This peaceful day was soon interrupted.
Letter from Kyoto...
This letter comes from: Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty...
This year: the 25th year of the Han Dynasty, it is the thirtieth year since Chen Luo left Kyoto...
