Xia Ya named this place Jixia Academy instead of a place like Longhu Mountain, which shows his positioning of this school.
However, the situation of a hundred schools of thought contending in Xiaya's fantasy is ultimately a relatively ideal situation, and the conflicts caused by the collision between various beliefs will not be small.
Before the academy has fully developed, the position of academy director should not be held by people from any sect, unless they are truly great sages and virtuous people. Secondly, only people who do not belong to any sect can do it. Absolute justice.
Therefore, Alicia is the most suitable.
Zhang Daoling also turned his attention to Alicia. Alicia has about 70% Chinese blood, so her appearance is also East Asian, which is not strange in his opinion, but her tall nose is very Western style.
However, people all have a certain consensus on beauty, so even Zhang Daoling's eyes flashed with surprise for a moment.
"Who is this"
"She is my wife. She has some relationship with the royal family of China. Therefore, if she is in China, her surname should be Zhu, and if her given name is "
Xia Ya looked at Alicia, "How about a single name with the word "Ji"?"
"Shuowen Jiezi" says: "The Yellow Emperor lived in Jishui, because water was his surname."
It means that "Ji" was first the name of a river. Because Huangdi lived near Jishui, he took Jishui as his surname.
The ancient Zhou Dynasty had the surname Ji, so the surname Ji should be one of the most noble surnames in the world.
Since women with the surname Ji belong to the royal family, princes with other surnames are generally willing to accept women with the surname Ji as their wives. As a result, more noble women with the surname Ji marry other princes. Therefore, noble women with the surname Ji are also There are many.
A married woman surnamed Ji usually adds the name of the vassal state she married to in front of her surname. For example, a woman surnamed Ji who marries to the state of Qin is called "Qin Ji", and a woman surnamed Ji who marries to the state of Wei is called "Wei". "Ji", those who married into the Kingdom of Zhao were called "Zhao Ji". For this reason, "Ji" evolved from a simple surname to a synonym for "noble woman". Later, it became a complimentary title for women.
Alicia also means "noble", so the word Ji is very suitable.
"It's up to you," Alicia said.
She can speak Chinese. There are two major ethnic groups in Britannia, the Han in the west and the Celts in the east. In particular, Han culture emphasizes having many children and good fortune, and their numbers account for a large proportion.
Celestial Masters can get married and have children, or in other words, after Zhang Daoling's death, every Celestial Master is his descendant, so Zhang Daoling is not surprised by this.
"Is the current royal family's surname Zhu?" Zhang Daoling asked. He raised his hand and calculated again, "It is indeed a noble surname, and the country's destiny is long-lasting, but..."
He frowned slightly, "Why is this national destiny so strange? It seems that it should have stopped a few years ago, but because of some powerful force, it was forcibly resumed. From then on, it was like a dragon rising out of the shallows, soaring upwards."
After a pause, he said with a bit of horror in his eyes, "What an amazing national destiny. What is the name of this country?"
"Beichen." Xia Ya said.
Zhang Daoling nodded, "Ziwei Emperor Star, although all dynasties have compared this star to the emperor, not many people really dare to use this star as the name of their dynasty. I am afraid that the country's destiny cannot bear this name and will be burdened by it. The founding emperor of this dynasty Very ambitious.”
"When the deadline was approaching, the old Taoist once made a fortune for China. I calculated that a thousand years later, the iron hooves of the alien race would break through the sky barrier and the country would fall. Now it seems that the old Taoist must have made a mistake in his calculation."
There were some ripples in Xia Ya's eyes, "In a sense, you are right."
Zhang Daoling seemed to realize something, "You mean, someone outside the destiny changed everything?"
Xia Ya did not continue to discuss this topic for long, but changed the subject.
"The Taoist sect will be the first school to move into the academy. You have the priority to choose the school and dormitory belonging to your Taoist sect.
The library contains many collections including Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, as well as books on Western magic, which are also helpful for spiritual practice and can seek common ground while reserving differences.
Secondly, there is also a special alchemy room here, which you may like.
There are some medicines stored in the alchemy room, and there is a medicine garden nearby, but it has not grown yet.
It will be some time before the academy officially starts enrolling students. You can get familiar with this place, and you can also bring some disciples from your sect. "
Even though today's Taoist priests basically don't have much extraordinary power, they at least have learned some classics, which gives them some advantages over ordinary people.
For example, the old Taoist priest Xia Ya met before could see that Xia Ya was extraordinary and had some abilities in a certain sense.
"Get more familiar with this place." Xia Ya said, "There are many surprises here."
With that said, Xia Ya disappeared here with Alicia, leaving Zhang Daoling silent.
In fact, he didn't know the origin of his master, and his arithmetic that could calculate for thousands of years could not even touch his margins.
But it is undeniable that most of his skills were given by this person.
Probably in the first year of Emperor An of the Han Dynasty (142 years), this existence came to him, granted him the "Three Days of Righteous Dharma", and named him the "Tianshi".
In the same year, he was also awarded the "Dharma of Zhengyi Science and Technology" and the "Miao Miao Sutra of Zhengyi Alliance", and was named "Master Zhengyi of the Three Heavens".
He also asked him to practice Buddhism. So Zhang Daoling established twenty-four religious activity centers in the Bashu area, namely the twenty-four governance, and then set up sacrificial wine and divided the households among them, just like the governor.
From then on, Taoism began to have a formal religious organization called "Zhengyimengweidao", which was also called "Tianshi Dao" in later generations.
Zhang Daoling has never known the true identity of this being, but only declared him as "Tai Shang Lao Jun" to prove his orthodoxy.
He can be sure that he is, and he must be a powerful and great virtue in ancient times.
He looked around. After entering Sichuan, he first lived in Yangping Mountain, then Heming Mountain, and also went to Xicheng Mountain, Gegui Mountain, Qinzhong Mountain, Changli Mountain, Yongquan Mountain, Zhendu Mountain, Beiping Mountain, and Qingcheng Mountain.
It can be said that he has lived in famous mountains and rivers in Sichuan, but he has never lived under the sea. The sea water that is as thick as mountains and rivers and can destroy the earth just floats above him, giving people a kind of feeling. An inexplicable sense of oppression.
He began to walk through the building complex. There was a sign on the top of each building, so he could quickly find the corresponding house.
He first went to see the classroom used for teaching. Whether it was the doors, windows or tables, they were all decorated with exquisite and clear woodcut shapes. At first glance, they were made by everyone.
But what attracted his attention the most was the landscape garden in the courtyard outside the classroom, with fluorescent turf, some shining jellyfish-like creatures swimming in the stream, and even small waterwheels. The decoration is present, elegant and tranquil.
Zhang Daoling fell in love with this courtyard almost at first sight. It would be great if he could preach and teach here.
His master said he could choose a classroom in advance and this would be a good fit.
But he didn't stay here too long. He was going to find the alchemy room because his current body was too weak.
Taoism emphasizes the cultivation of both life and life. He did not lose his memory after reincarnation, so his "sex" was brought over with his soul, but his "fate" was still in the state of a child of these years.
He needs to refine some elixirs to cleanse the marrow of this body and remove the mortal body.
Walking on the bluestone path, he quickly found the location of the alchemy room, because the alchemy room was like a building like a library, and unlike other buildings, it was slightly taller.
As soon as he entered Dan's room, a woman wearing Ming Dynasty Hanfu came over from one side and said an ancient ceremony to Zhang Daoling.
"Hello, Android A2 is at your service."
It was a bionic artificial man created by Tony using alchemy. It used some relatively cheap materials instead of full-body mithril. It was mainly functional rather than combat-oriented.
Needless to say, the appearance of the artificial human is natural, with fair skin, perfect facial features, willow eyebrows, peach blossom eyes, and a standard oval face. It has a gentle and elegant temperament, which is in line with the imagination of most people in China for classical beauties.
So even the well-informed Zhang Daoling couldn't help but stare at that face for a moment, he joked.
"It is indeed a place of immortals. Today, I saw two beauties that I didn't necessarily see in the past few decades.
Don’t know the girl’s name? "
"A2"
"Ai Er?" Zhang Daoling frowned and shook his head, "This is not a name that a beauty like you should have."
He thought for a moment and said, "The jade-like red lips have an ethereal and unworldly appearance, and are as gentle and elegant as jade. How about you call me Nong Yu?"
"Codename changed."
Nongyu saluted Zhang Daoling again, "Nongyu has met the Taoist priest."
Zhang Daoling stared at Nong Yu quietly, with some doubts and confusion in his eyes, "It's really strange, your every move is the same as a real person, but why don't you have any spiritual aura?
what do you?
The weapon spirit of this alchemy tripod?
Or some special creature I've never seen before? "
"I am an artificial human." Nongyu said.
"Artificial human?" Zhang Daoling seemed to have realized something, and muttered absentmindedly, "Is it the art of creating human beings? That is the great power possessed by the great God Nuwa."
He thought of the wife he had just met, his master's wife.
Zhu Ji.
This name was obviously improvised by her master and was not her real name.
But he wouldn't be surprised if that woman was the great goddess Nuwa.
Such appearance and temperament are not something that can be possessed in the human world.
Moreover, if she is really the goddess Nuwa.
Then it is possible that his master is
A frequently used symbol in Taoism is the Fuxi Bagua, and many Taoist doctrines are derived from him.
In this case, it can explain why he appeared when the human race was in danger.
Even though he no longer guides humans, he is still the Emperor of Humanity.
He came to his senses, calmed down quickly, and continued.
"Take me to the best alchemy furnace here."
Nong Yu stretched out her hand, "Please follow me."
The alchemy room is a public area, and all students who want to use the alchemy room need to register and apply at the counter.
Refining alchemy requires a quiet environment, so each alchemy furnace will be assigned a separate room. These rooms are uniquely decorated, fireproof, heat-proof, and soundproof.
At this moment, Nong Yu led Zhang Daoling forward in this long corridor, and soon reached the end of the corridor.
Nong Yu directly opened a door at the end of the corridor and walked in with Zhang Daoling. The decoration of the room was also good, but what attracted his attention the most was the alchemy furnace in the middle.
The stove was a good size and had obviously been designed by experts to make the flames more concentrated and more controllable.
However, although the style was very similar to the alchemy furnaces Zhang Daoling had seen in the past, he still saw some strange things, such as several thick pipes connected to the alchemy furnace, which were directly connected to the wall, and he did not know what they were used for.
"This alchemy furnace should be the theoretically best furnace in the alchemy room." Nong Yu said, "Thermonuclear fusion adjustable temperature control furnace."
"Why theoretically?" Zhang Daoling said.
"Because the temperature is too high, the flame is too violent." Nong Yu said, "Not everyone can use this stove."
Zhang Daoling's eyebrows relaxed and he said with a smile, "The temperature is still higher, but I am still worried that the temperature is not enough.
The materials required to refine the magic elixir usually require very high temperatures to extract impurities and essence. "
He walked forward, touched the stove, nodded and said, "It is indeed a good stove."
He opened the alchemy furnace and asked, "Does this alchemy furnace have its own spiritual fire?"
Nong Yu nodded, and she pointed to the table on the side of the stove, "This is the temperature control and temperature measurement table, which detects and regulates the temperature in real time."
"Turn the fire up to high and show me," he said.
Nongyu hesitated to speak.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Daoling turned his head in confusion.
"The flame of this furnace is not a flame in the precise sense." Nong Yu said, "but the light and heat emitted by thermonuclear fusion, if it is the highest grade."
"Don't worry." Zhang Daoling waved and said, "I have seen a lot of spiritual fires in my life. I have even seen the Samadhi True Fire that the legendary Supreme Master used to make elixirs. I know it well."
"Okay." Upon seeing this, Nongyu stood on the console and turned on the highest level of heating without hesitation.
The program Tony left here also followed this operation, and a circle of barriers stretched out from the ground to cover the console and protect the people inside the console.
Then, under Zhang Daoling's gaze, the stove began to glow red.
Feeling the scorching heat coming from the pavement, Zhang Daoling's eyes rarely shone with excitement.
"Okay, it's so hot!"
He immediately stretched out his hand and input spiritual energy into it to prepare to control the flame, and then murmured.
"It's really irritable. It's different from ordinary spiritual fire. It's more pure."
Suddenly, he seemed to notice something, and his pupils suddenly shrank to a point.
"This is."
At that moment, the flames in the furnace increased the temperature again, and the surrounding space seemed to be distorted by the high temperature. Powerful energy barriers appeared all around, protecting those buildings.
Zhang Daoling's clothes were instantly ignited, and his whole body turned into a ball of fire. Enduring the pain, he roared at Nong Yu behind him.
"Quick! Turn off the stove!"
