Lu Ze has undoubtedly become a celebrity in Shangyin Academy.
The potential impact of ten games of chess with Xu Weixiong is greater than many people imagined. The Spring and Autumn Advisor in the Northern Liang Palace began to set his sights on this young man who had only been admitted to the palace for less than a month. Even many big figures in Tai'an City inquired carefully about Lu Ze's true identity.
The already somewhat treacherous Liyang royal family really began to pay attention to the illegitimate son of the Zhao family who entered the ancestral temple.
If the big shots in the past only valued the two masters behind Lu Ze, now they have to re-examine whether it is a good thing to let Lu Ze leave Tai'an City and leave under their noses.
No wonder Xu Xiao from Dazhu Kingdom would sigh like that in Tingchao Pavilion.
"Very good son."
"It's a pity that his surname is Zhao."
Because...there are a lot of scandals in Liyang Palace.
Therefore, not long after the game ended, Lu Ze received a gift from the second master in the inner palace.
The five armors of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth were now hidden in the lake filled with green lotus in front of the bamboo building.
The original body of Xingjia was the red armor of the talisman who was among the four great masters killed by Han Diao Temple. The human cat tore out thousands of red silk and leather armors bloodyly. It was Han Diao Temple's Zhixuan who killed Tianxiang. In the battle for fame, the so-called invincible red armor was destroyed by this extremely cruel method. That battle completely made the human cat famous.
The origin of red armor is extraordinary.
In the dynasties before Liyang, there is a legend that the emperor sent a magician to visit the immortals on the sea. On the way, he encountered an immortal stone falling into the sea, causing thousands of waves. This mysterious flying stone was later cast into a wooden horse and an ox, which was named after the sword god Li Chungang. The other half of the sword was cast into red armor, and the remaining scraps were used to create a perfect dagger talisman.
This five-element red armor of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth was made from the red armor of the talisman of that year.
Lu Ze was still very satisfied with these five red armors.
Over the years, the red armor has been drawn and written by the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain, and then it was built and tempered by Liyang's Tiangong Pavilion for many years. It was not until recently that it was completely transformed into the five-element armor. Han Diao Temple spent a lot of money on this A lot of thought.
Lu Ze remembered that he had several similar robots with him.
But it’s not that simple in this academy. Lu Ze knew that there was a Zhang family saint hidden in the moral forest. Even Xu Weixiong’s real purpose in coming to Shangyin Academy for so many years was to fish out that Confucian scholar. Zhang Fuyao, the first-generation sage, accounted for 80% of Confucian luck, so that the endings of the new Confucian sages in later generations were not very good.
The emperor of Tai'an City asked Lu Ze to come to Shangyin Academy, probably because he wanted to try to catch the big fish Zhang Shengren.
The word luck is elusive and elusive.
But Lu Ze knew that this intangible thing was to some extent more important than the so-called martial arts cultivation and military strategy.
Otherwise, the Qintian Supervisor Qi Practitioners in Tai'an City would not have such a high status. Emperor Zhao Chun took great care of these Qi Practitioners in order to consolidate and maintain the Liyang Dynasty's two hundred years of national destiny.
"Zhang Shengren..."
...
Lu Ze soon had his second meeting with Dajijiu.
Qi Yanglong came to the bamboo building alone. The tall old man put his hands on his back and looked at the green lotus lake not far away. He looked at Lu Ze beside him with a half-smile: "This kind of thing cannot be used in the academy. ah."
The high priest obviously knew about the existence of the five red armors.
This is naturally the respect shown by the Liyang Dynasty to Shangyin Academy.
"It was considered an extremely treasonous act for Xu Weixiong to kill a scholar with his sword. If Xu Xiao hadn't agreed to pay for the construction of a ten-mile salt lake embankment, Xu Weixiong would have been driven back to Beiliang. As for you..."
Lu Ze had heard about what happened a few years ago.
Just like the process of rich families in later generations losing money and getting into trouble, the Xu family in Beiliang can't be described by just two words: rich.
Power means convenience.
Lu Ze was possessed by the factory director at this time, and he spread his hands very directly: "Mr. Qi, I don't have any money."
With an innocent expression, he then added: "I am a cultural person, and I have always spoken but not done anything."
Hearing this, Qi Yanglong smiled helplessly.
It was still difficult for the Grand Priest of the Academy to connect the unparalleled chess player who had defeated Xu Weixiong ten games in a row a few days ago with the casual and informal young man in front of him. The old man pointed to the inside of the bamboo building and spoke. He said, "I came to you today just to talk."
Lu Ze was heartbroken.
He knew that after a scholar from the academy actually entered the school, he would have a conversation with the gentleman in the academy. It was regarded as a welcome ceremony, and it was also a way for Shangyin Academy to further understand the scholar's heart.
After all...talent and character are not directly proportional.
There are so many dressed beasts in the world, and the teachings of Tao and art from Shangyin Academy are enough to change the world.
If he really teaches a big devil who brings disaster to the world, he will really cry to death without even being able to find his grave.
Huang Sanjia, who single-handedly stirred up the Spring and Autumn Period, ran away from Shangyin Academy. This is undoubtedly a classic example of teaching failure, and it is still a hidden pain in the hearts of many elders in the Academy to this day.
Nowadays, Shangyin Academy seems to be prosperous, but compared with the heyday when a hundred schools of thought contended, it is not even the light of a firefly.
Lu Ze and Da Jijiu entered the bamboo building.
After the latter sat down, he smiled to himself: "Xu Weixiong was talking to me here back then, but now it's you."
"What... do you think of Xu Weixiong?"
Lu Ze didn't know if this question was part of the conversation, but he still smiled shyly and cleared his throat: "I think...Senior Sister Xu Weixiong...is quite gentle."
Qi Yanglong was stunned for a moment, and then started laughing.
It took a long time for the old man to stop laughing, and after sighing heavily, his bright eyes were fixed on Lu Ze. Most scholars would not dare to look directly at the Grand Priest Wine's eyes that hide thousands of stars.
[In view of the general environment,
Lu Ze looked at the opposite person with a calm expression.
At this moment, Qi Yanglong nodded with satisfaction, sat upright, first raised his hands towards Lu Ze, and then asked the most important question of the day: "Zhao Kai, I know your true identity."
"Let me ask you something."
"We scholars... why do we study?"
Lu Ze's eyes flickered.
At this time, he suddenly remembered his so-called dream when he was studying.
It's just that many people's dreams gradually fade away with time, the passing of years, and the pressure of life, and gradually disappear in an unknown moment. Maybe it is when they encounter serious setbacks, maybe they are no longer full of hope for life, maybe yes...
Why study?
Mr. Zhang Zai’s four lines about Hengqu naturally emerged in Lu Ze’s mind.
His eyes were firm and his voice was loud.
"Establish a heart for heaven and earth."
"Establish a destiny for the sake of the people."
"Continue the unique learning for the Holy Spirit."
"To create peace for all eternity."
