The Apricot Altar in the Divine Continent of the Middle Earth is the ancestral home of Confucianism in the world.
Under the apricot altar, nine university palaces were established, distributed on nine continents, to govern Confucianism in one continent.
Beizhi Gezhou Confucian Academy, also known as Langya Academy, is located in Langya County on the northern border of Beizhi Gezhou. Its status is higher than the four major Confucian academies such as Hengqu Academy, Chaoyang Academy, Hanshan Academy, and Zhaohu Academy.
At noon, an old man with a solemn expression in cloth clothes, wearing a straw hat and holding a hoe, was resting under the shade of a tree beside the field.
A middle-aged scribe wearing a square scarf and a Confucian shirt came from a distance facing the scorching sun.
Arriving at the edge of the field, the middle-aged scribe bowed respectfully to the old man covered in dirt: "Sir!"
The commoner old man glanced at the middle-aged scribe, and asked with a smile: "Zi Qian, why are you here? Are you helping me, sir, with plowing and weeding?"
Xu Ziqian, a middle-aged scribe, replied: "Sir, if you have something to do, I will do my best to help you. I will help you plow the land and weed later."
"But sir, I came here today mainly to tell you that the new Grand Avenue Gold List has been updated."
The old man in cloth clothes smiled in surprise: "Oh, really? I have been busy trying to plant rice bean sprouts for the past ten days, but I forgot about the time. Tell me, are there any interesting children on the Beizhou Gold List this time? List?"
Xu Ziqian replied: "There are no changes in the twenty people on the list."
"Ye Guiren of Dibang is still the leader and is still suppressing the situation."
"Zhao Baima from Bingshi Peak and Sanwu from Tianchan Temple have not taken that step yet. Perhaps they are waiting for Ye Guiren to take the lead." ①
"As for the list of people, Wan Li Ning and He Chou Xin, both of them, have dropped off the list because they reached their thirties. Iron Spear Sect's Xie Xie has become the new number one."
After a pause, Xu Ziqian continued: "Interesting newcomers, the disciple thinks there are three people worthy of the academy's attention. One of them is Xiao Ye, who is ranked 30th on the list."
"This son is a pure martial artist who comes from the royal family of the Yu Kingdom. His realm is only the Seventh Realm of Great Perfection, but his boxing skills are nearly perfect. He has become invincible."
"The day before yesterday, he asked Boxing Bingshifeng. No one among the younger generation of Bingshifeng could take his punch. Zhao Baima was forced to end the fight and it was a draw."
"With his strong boxing power and pure boxing intention, this boy is expected to surpass Zhao Baima and Wan Lining and become the number one martial artist of the new generation in Beizhou."
The old man in cloth clothes nodded slightly: "This boy is indeed worthy of attention. Our Beizhou is the continent of martial arts. The new generation of martial arts leader will surely sweep across the nine continents and dominate the world. What about the second one?"
"The second is the Peach Blossom God of Xiufeng Mountain. She is on the list of people with the six realms and ranks at the bottom. With her current growth rate and her foundation in the gods of heaven and earth, she should soon cross the tenth level. He became another Shinto saint and influenced the fate of Beizhou."
The commoner old man sighed with emotion: "Because the God Lord of Donghua Mountain personally protects the Tao, it is difficult for outsiders to peek into the Qi of Xiufeng Mountain. From this point of view, the new Peach Blossom God has grown up smoothly. I hope that after she returns to her rightful place, she can really hold on." Let’s use the glimmer of hope that Shinto can break through. What about the third one?”
Xu Ziqian replied: "The third one is related to the new Peach Blossom God. Hanshan Li, who helped seal the world and helped her achieve the status of god, has passed away and has been listed in the "Amazing World List", becoming the first person in thousands of years."
The commoner old man was slightly shocked: "The "Amazing List" reappears on the Great Dao Gold List?"
"Yes, after passing through the Nine-Juan Dao Golden List, Hanshan Academy Li has passed away. At this moment, it has spread throughout Jiuzhou and is famous all over the world."
The old man in commoner clothes said with a smile: "How good that you are! We, the Confucian sect of Beizhou, have a wonderful talent!"
Xu Ziqian asked for instructions: "Sir, how should the academy treat such a genius?"
The commoner old man thought for a while and said: "Everyone who is on the Continent Golden List has an opportunity to understand the Heavenly Monument. After he has been to the Holy Land of the Heavenly Monument, let him come to the academy."
Xu Ziqian understood: "Sir, are you going to let him enter Shushan?"
The commoner old man nodded with a smile.
Xu Ziqian bowed and promised: "Yes, after the disciple returns, he will compile a letter and send it to Hanshan Academy."
In the apricot altar of China, there is a sea of learning.
Each of the nine university palaces has a book mountain.
Climbing the Book Mountain to have a panoramic view of the world, and studying the sea to travel through the past and present are the happiest things for scholars in the world.
"Is there anything else?" the commoner old man asked.
Xu Ziqian shook his head.
"Then go to work, plowing the ground or hoeing, you choose one."
The old man in cloth clothes picked up the hoe and walked to the field. He had rested enough and was ready to continue working. He had to plant the beans before the next wave of rain came.
Xu Ziqian took off his gown, rolled up his sleeves and followed the gentleman, saying, "Sir, please rest under the tree and leave the rest of the work to me."
"It's not good. I'm not too old to move. Is there any reason to leave everything to others?"
"The teacher's lesson is correct, but the disciple is wrong!"
Xu Ziqian followed his husband and worked in the fields until sunset, then put on his Confucian shirt and left.
Not long after, a secret letter was sent from Langya Academy to Hanshan Academy in the Central Region.
…
Southeast Qing Jiazhou, Yujiang Academy.
A young Confucian scholar of medium height, ordinary appearance, but extraordinary handsome temperament stood in a pavilion in the academy.
Looking at the Taoist Gold List copied by his classmates, the young Confucian scholar looked slightly surprised.
Number one on the list of people on Jiazhou Avenue in the Qing Dynasty: Guo Waixie.
Guo Waixie, courtesy name Qingshan, was a Confucian scholar at Yujiang Academy.
The eyes of the young Confucian scholar in the pavilion did not fall on the top of the list, but on the "Amazing List" behind the list.
"I thought that the young gentleman from Zhongtu Shenzhou was the most outstanding Confucian scholar in our time, but I didn't expect that Li Chang would appear in Beizhi Gezhou."
"With a body of one realm, he can do the work of sealing the heaven and the earth. He is really a strange person!"
While the young Confucian scholar was meditating alone, several Confucian scholars of similar age came from the path.
Before entering the pavilion, they all congratulated each other: "Brother Qingshan, you are the first person to be ranked on the continental list since the establishment of our Yujiang Academy. To win the first place in one fell swoop is a big surprise!"
"Yes, I have brought you the fifty-year-old Yu Shui Daqu, especially to congratulate Brother Qingshan. I won't come home until I'm drunk today!"
"I've asked the shopkeeper of Changfeng Tower to deliver the food and wine. They'll be here in a moment. I won't come back until I'm drunk!"
The young Confucian scholar took another look at the names in the "Amazing List", put away the continental gold list, and drank with his classmates.
"Thank you all, I'm treating you today!"
…
In the Divine Continent of Middle-earth, there is a large city called Mo City.
Mo City is the supreme holy place in the hearts of Jiuzhou Mohist disciples.
The Mohist school has been divided into three branches since its inception by Mozi and has been passed down to this day.
One of them, headed by Xiangli Shi, produced several generations of great men.
When the Jiufen Avenue Golden List spread throughout the world, Xiangli, who was only eighteen years old and dressed in black, stood on a tower in Mo City, holding the scroll of the Avenue Gold List and looking to the north.
"To the north of Gezhou, Hanshan Academy, Li is leaving."
"My first opponent after joining the world is here!"
…
To the north is Gezhou, Yunshui Kingdom, and an ox cart is heading east.
The driver was an old man.
In the ox cart, there was a scholar in a green shirt and a girl in a green skirt.
And a girl who was so drunk that she didn't know how long she had slept, and she didn't know when she would wake up. She had a pair of dragon horns on her forehead.
The noise when the Grand Avenue Gold List was announced has dissipated.
Li Chaoyi took Xiao Qianjun and continued eastbound. Because the girl Xianlong Lian Nier continued to be drunk and fell into a coma, the brothers and sisters had no choice but to take her with them.
It has been two days since I left Donghu City, and early June is about to pass, and it is very hot in Gezhou in the north.
Xiao Qianjun took out the Qingxiao Longan as a meeting gift from Nanliu Jing and placed it on the oxcart. This semi-immortal artifact was crystal clear, with green light flowing around it, exuding a cool air all the time.
It makes the inside of the carriage very cool and the heat is hard to come by.
Xiao Qianjun was taking care of the sleeping girl Xianlong while eating the fresh fruits bought in Donghu City.
Li Changyi was reading leisurely.
Several days have passed since he landed at Lake Run, and he has read ten more books. The day when he has finished reading ten thousand books is getting closer and closer.
Even if you read slower, it will only take ten days at most.
Read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles, and observe world affairs.
This first one is about to be completed.
An hour later, when he was tired of reading, Li Changyue put away the books.
After eating the watermelon "chilled" with Qingxiao Longan handed over by Xiao Qianjun, Li Chaoyi began to practice the three secret magical powers given to him by the soul shadow woman Hua Feihua.
[Dao Dao Lian Shu] is naturally Li Changyi’s favorite.
However, he has not yet decided which word to "refine" first, so he can only put it aside for now.
For immortal scholars, the first character of the word "Lian" is very important. Choosing the right one can not only get twice the result with half the effort, but also benefit the path to immortality.
If you choose the wrong one, it will only hurt your soul and waste your time.
While reading the Heart Jue of the [Dao Dao Calligraphy Refining Technique], Li Changyi vaguely felt that once this technique was successfully practiced, it would be of great help in interpreting the words in the Biluo Tian Stele.
In the ruins of the Forest of Abandoned Pagodas and Steles in Linggui Town, there are thirty-six intact celestial steles with a total of more than 3,000 strange characters engraved on them.
Li Changyi has only read out the word "Bi Luo" so far.
The origins of these thirty-six Biluotian tablets are mysterious. Even if he went to Biluotian, he still had no answer.
But one thing is certain, the words on this tablet must be of great importance.
Perhaps, the secret of Biluotian's defeat and Nirvana's rebirth is hidden.
Taixu Old Turtle should know the origin of the Biluo Tianzhen Monument, and may also recognize these words, but his current level is too low to communicate with it.
What's more, after sending them back to the human world that day, it had already taken the turtle to the sky and headed south, and now it's unknown which continent in the south it landed on.
Fortunately, there is a brother Chao Yu in Linggui Town, so we should see him again.
Putting away the [Dao Dao Lian Shu] Heart Technique, Li Qianyi began to practice [Great Star Reaching Technique] and [Eight Extreme Sword Fingers].
Needless to say, [Great Star Reaching Technique] was the secret technique of the Star Reaching Pavilion of the Immortal Family in the Divine Continent of Middle-earth three thousand years ago.
This [Eight Extreme Sword Finger] came from a sword immortal in Dong Penglai Continent. Once it is mastered, it will be extremely lethal.
Although Li Qingyi was a disciple of Confucianism, he was not limited to the views of one family. He was interested in studying and practicing the magical powers and secrets of hundreds of schools of thought and the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect.
Soon, in less than an hour, these two magical powers and secret arts have been introduced.
With a few wisps of sword intent lingering on his fingertips, he asked Xiao Qianjun: "Xiao Qian'er, do you want to practice this [Eight Extremes Sword Finger]?"
Xiao Qianjun shook his head: "Elder brother, I'm so stupid, I shouldn't be able to learn."
The little guy doesn't want to learn, but Li Changyi doesn't force it. After all, she has thousands of swordsmanship hidden in her body, and she may know more swordsmanship than any great swordsman in the world.
To her, this [Eight Extreme Sword Finger] is equivalent to a copper coin on the ground, and she is as rich as anyone in the world. To pick up this copper coin, she might as well go shopping in her own gold and silver mountain.
In the afternoon, the sky suddenly changed color, and the originally cloudless, hot and clear sky became dim and dark clouds appeared everywhere.
The old man driving the car opened the curtain and said, "Brother, it's going to rain heavily soon. There is a posthouse not far ahead. Do you want to take a rest and hide from the rain?"
Li Changyue replied: "Let my father-in-law arrange it."
"Okay, please sit down, little brother and young lady. The old man will try to get to the inn before the heavy rain comes down."
"Thank you, old man!"
"Don't dare."
Then the old man whipped his whip, drove the bullock cart, and quickly rushed to the post house ahead.
Because the road was not smooth, the oxcart was very bumpy, but even so, it could not wake up the girl Xianlong.
This guy didn't drink too much that day, but he was still drunk until now, which is also a strange thing.
In his impression, the Dragon Clan didn't seem to be afraid of drinking.
Someone who can't drink like this must be the only dragon in the world, right?
Two quarters of an hour later, the ox cart arrived at the post house.
As soon as we entered the small courtyard, heavy rain began to fall.
Li Chaoyi helped the old man set up the ox cart, while Xiao Qianjun took the girl Xianlong into the lobby of the post house.
When Li Changyi and the old man entered the lobby of the post house, they saw more than one group of people taking shelter from the rain.
Several of them surrounded Xiao Qianjun and the sleeping girl Xianlong, but they were not trying to attack them, but they were very curious.
A two-foot-tall girl in a green skirt came to the inn with a sleeping girl with horns on her head. This pairing must be too strange.
"Little sister, what's your name? What race is this horned little sister you brought with you? Is she a sika deer demon?" asked a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, Zilaisu.
The boys and girls next to him were also very curious.
Xiao Qianjun did not feel any malice from them, and replied in a crisp voice: "My name is Xiaoqianjun, and the one sleeping here is sister Ni'er, and she is not a sika deer demon."
"Oh, what are those? These two horns are not deer monsters, they can't be dragons, right?"
Xiao Qianjun smiled and did not answer.
It's not that I concealed it on purpose, it was mainly because I didn't want to scare them.
Seeing that Xiao Qianjun didn't say anything, they didn't care either.
The leading girl said: "Little sister, it is very dangerous for you to go out alone with a sleeping little sister. Where are your adults?"
"If your elders are not here, you can follow us. We are from the Blue Flower Sect and are not bad people. We are going to Tianliang City."
"We can take you to Tianliang City, and you can contact your family via the air station there."
Xiao Qianjun felt that the other party was really worried about her, so she smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you sister, my senior brother went to tie the ox cart and will be back in a moment."
"That's good!"
Just as he was talking, Li Chaoyi came over.
Xiao Qianjun flew to his senior brother and introduced some kind-hearted elder brothers and sisters to him.
But the young girl saw that Li Xiangyue was dressed as a scholar and had a pure and elegant temperament. She asked with some curiosity: "Young Master, I am Tian Xiaoqing of the Qinghua Sect. May I ask who is the most talented person in front of you?"
Li Qingyi bowed his hands and returned the gift: "I don't dare to be a talented person, so I'll thank Jiashu in Hanshan Mountain."
"Xie Jiashu?"
Everyone in the posthouse was shocked.
At this moment, a figure walked into the post house through the wind and rain outside the door.
Although it was the first time they met, Li Chaoyi recognized her at a glance——
Disciple of Lord Donghua, Jiang Jinwan.
