Zhongzhou is the most prosperous and prosperous continent among the five continents of mountains, seas, spiritual wilderness, and mortals and practitioners coexist, all yearning for the great road.
The reason for everything is that there is the most powerful country here - Datang.
Throughout the history of the world of immortality, no mortal country has ever had such high power over the spiritual wasteland.
In a certain period of time in the past, the country even became a tool for practitioners to obtain resources and magic weapons. The practitioners enslaved mortals wantonly, and the so-called kings of the country were nothing more than relatively large ants.
But all this changed completely after the emergence of Datang, because Datang became the overlord of the world, and could even stand on an equal footing with the Nine Holy Lands.
In the vast and infinite land, an ancient city wall with some age mottled features lies on the horizon. It can't be seen from the left, and the same is true from the right.
Like a black line.
Looking around, there is a plaque hanging on the long city wall that has obviously experienced countless years of wind and rain, with two words engraved on it.
Imperial capital.
Two people came to a wide city wall, both covered with dust, and stopped.
The imperial capital symbolizes the Tang Dynasty.
There are academies in the imperial capital.
So the two people were naturally Su Mo and Shen Yu.
In Zhongzhou, you are not allowed to fly in the sky at will to disturb the lives of mortals. This is a very important rule set by the academy.
As we all know, Zhongzhou Datang Academy likes to set rules most, and their rules are even worse than imperial edicts to some extent. Naturally, no one dares to break the rules at will.
As Dao Sect disciples, Su Mo and Shen Yu would not be disturbed by these so-called rules, but they still walked slowly to show their sincerity.
So once I left, several months passed.
"We're finally here." Shen Yu stood with his hands behind his hands and sighed slightly.
These days, the strange energy rules in his body have stabilized to a very calm level, but his expression cannot be said to be very happy.
Because during this period of time, he could not feel the slightest aura of heaven and earth at all, not to mention his cultivation, even his realm was slowly fading away.
The power wrapped around him was like a funnel. Above him, the spiritual energy flowed through that power to another unknown place, disappearing forever.
Su Mo looked at the city wall in the distance, with a vague look of memory in his eyes. After a moment, he said, "Let's go."
Shen Yu nodded and walked towards the city wall.
The temperament of the two people is extremely outstanding, and it is reasonable to say that they are very eye-catching, but the soldiers responsible for patrolling the city gate did not pay too much attention to them.
As a person under the emperor's feet, regardless of his official position or status, he has an innate sense of superiority towards outsiders.
It has nothing to do with anything, just the confidence given by this city.
But despite this, the soldiers responsible for patrolling the checkpoints were extremely calm and calm in their speech, without showing any contempt or superiority. Their expressions were gentle. When they heard that Shen Yu and the others were going to the academy, they even pointed the direction carefully.
The two walked through the city wall and walked on the street. Shen Yu said lightly: "Not bad."
Su Mo looked at the surging crowds on both sides with interest and asked with a smile: "Where's the best place?"
Shen Yu said calmly: "People should not be humble, as being humble will lead to lack of bones. This city has given them a strong sense of glory and security. As a tribe or a country, it is naturally very good."
Now that soldier was just a mortal, knowing that the two men came from Dao Sect, his expression did not change at all. It can explain a lot of problems.
Su Mo smiled and said: "The Tang Dynasty has been able to flourish for so many years, so there is a reason for its existence."
Shen Yu paused and said, "The academy is doing very well."
Just like what he said to that living saint three thousand years ago, a place for teaching and educating people is supposed to be rooted in the mortal world, but it has to be high up and out of reach, which is of no use.
Su Mo didn't know the meaning of this sentence, but suddenly looked somewhere in the distance and said with emotion: "Actually, His Majesty the Emperor in the palace is the real good one."
...
The current emperor of the Tang Dynasty is known as the emperor of the ages and is highly respected by people all over the world.
But what Su Mo said had another meaning.
No matter how powerful the academy is and how much it is admired by all people, the fact that the first impression that people in the world have when facing Zhongzhou is that of the Tang Dynasty, not the academy, proves the ability of His Majesty the Emperor.
But none of this is worth paying attention to Shen Yu now.
The two walked slowly towards their destination.
The time gradually reached noon, the clouds dispersed, and the warm sunshine shone on the streets and alleys in the city, exuding a golden brilliance.
The two stopped and looked forward.
Green woods appeared at both ends, and a straight, wide street lay at the end of the line of sight.
At this point, the shouting on the street seemed to have stopped suddenly, and no more noise could be heard. It was obvious that some kind of formation was operating.
The breeze blows, carrying the scent of fragrance, and accompanied by the faint sound of Lang Lang reading in the distance, it can't help but make people feel comfortable physically and mentally.
Read and understand.
In the air, a gentle and mellow voice came from a house that looked like a private school in front of you, "If you correct yourself and don't ask for others, you will have no resentment. You won't blame God when you are above, and you won't blame others when you are below."
Immediately afterwards, countless young voices sounded at the same time, "If you correct yourself and don't ask for others, you will have no resentment. You won't blame Heaven when you are above, and you won't blame others when you are below."
Shen Yu stopped by the window and looked in. He saw a middle-aged man with a face as gentle as his voice, holding a half-open ancient scroll in his hand. He was wearing a gray gown, exuding an approachable aura.
The middle-aged man seemed to realize something. He turned his head and looked at Shen Yu for a moment, then smiled slightly.
Then the middle-aged man looked at Su Mo again and shook his head.
Su Mo signaled that he understood, turned and left.
The two continued to walk forward, and more and more schools gathered side by side. The teacher did not teach Taoism, but only classics.
Su Mo asked again: "How do you feel?"
Shen Yu still said the same two words, "Not bad."
Yes, Shen Yu meant satisfaction.
Among the nine holy places, the place where the academy is located is the least hidden. All ignorant children and students, regardless of their status, are equal in the classroom.
More importantly, who would have thought that a random teacher would turn out to be a Confucian sage and gentleman whose realm is unfathomable?
Su Mo was very satisfied with this answer. Dao Sect disciples have always been decisive by nature and disdained some seemingly pedantic practices of the academy. Therefore, people from the two sects only had respect but no other feelings of sympathy.
Su Mo said slowly: "That gentleman is not well-known outside, but he is a rare Confucian sage. He does not like to study Confucian classics like others, but he likes to teach and educate people."
Su Mo suddenly sighed, "This gentleman is very capable. I originally wanted him to look at your problem first, but from the situation just now, it seems that he has nothing to do."
Shen Yu suddenly looked up at the sky and said with a smile, "What should we do?"
Su Mo said seriously: "The most capable person in the academy is naturally the master."
Shen Yu asked: "That master is in the academy now?"
Su Mo said honestly, "I don't know. He likes to travel around the world. It's actually very difficult to meet him."
Shen Yu raised his eyebrows slightly and suddenly said: "Is there a back door to the academy?"
Su Mo smiled and said, "The academy has a back door, but the academy never lets anyone use the back door."
