In fact, after we started to visit, everyone understood firsthand what is meant by "a hungry and skinny camel is bigger than a horse". On the surface, this Yangming Academy was about to be abolished due to bankruptcy, and this Yangming Academy, which could not even support the two remaining people, was unexpectedly quite grand and grand, compared to any sect that Ye Feng had seen before. Neither is inferior.
Of course, Yangming Academy still reveals an aura of decline as a whole because it has no "popularity." As the saying goes, "If the mountain is not high, it will be famous if it has immortals. If the water is not deep, it will be spiritual if it has dragons." If an academy does not even have people, then it will inevitably be lifeless.
As the acting dean of Yangming Academy and having lived here for many years, Xiruo naturally assumed the role of "tour guide" for Ye Feng and others.
Everyone walked across the solemn square in front of them. When passing by the statue of Wang Yangming standing in the center of the square, everyone couldn't help but salute him. Now that Ye Feng is the dean of Yangming Academy, everyone is naturally from Yangming Academy. So it is human nature and the right thing to maintain respect for the founder of Yangming Academy.
When you step into the gate of Yangming Academy, the first thing you see is a simple and solemn archway with four gilt characters "Yangming Academy" on it. Passing through the archway is a spacious road paved with bluestone slabs. The road is lined with towering ancient trees, birds singing and flowers fragrant, mountains and rivers interdependent, beautiful environment, and rich historical and cultural heritage. In the distance, there are many palaces and pavilions. The building complex is large in scale and rigorous in layout, and is full of ancient Chinese architectural features. Inside these buildings, there should be many precious classics and secret cultivation techniques displayed for students to study and study.
Xiruo explained that Yangming Academy was a college founded by Yangming Academy. He inherited and carried forward Confucianism, realized the integration of the three religions of "Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism", and founded Yangming's philosophy of mind with "Zhi Liangzhi" as its core, which had a profound influence on later generations. Yangming Academy was founded to spread his thoughts, promote Confucian culture, and cultivate a new generation of Confucian sages.
The main buildings in the academy include Mingde Hall, Chengyi Building, Zhizhizhai, Zhengxin Pavilion and other buildings. It can be seen from their names that they are closely connected with the core concepts of Yangming's Xinxue.
After Ye Feng and others entered Yangming Academy, the first place they came to was Mingde Hall. This is the place where the academy holds major events and celebrations, as well as the classroom where classes and lectures are given. A plaque reading "Mingde Hall" hangs high in the middle of Mingde Hall, and Wang Yangming's portrait and motto are painted on the walls on both sides. The portrait has a kind expression and a burning gaze, which makes people awe-inspiring.
Chengyi Building is the library of the academy, which houses many precious ancient books and documents. These include Wang Yangming's works, Confucian classics, and other books on history, literature, and philosophy. Chengyi Building provides students with a peaceful and elegant environment for them to study and seek knowledge.
Zhizhizhai is the cafeteria of the academy, where students eat daily. Here, students can not only taste delicious food, but also exchange knowledge with each other and enhance friendship. Of course these are all scenes from the past.
Zhengxin Pavilion is a small garden in the academy, lined with green trees and winding paths. In the Zhengxin Pavilion, students can appreciate ancient poetry, appreciate the beauty of nature, and cultivate their temperament.
In the stream below the pavilion's Banqiao, there are actually fish swimming slowly and leisurely. Everyone looked at Xi Ruo and Mei Jiu in surprise, their eyes clearly saying that you didn't eat the fish.
When Xiruo saw everyone looking at the fish in the water, and then at herself and Mei Jiu, she naturally understood what everyone meant, and said with a slightly red face: "These fish are not edible, they are all for ornamental purposes." of."
At this time, Jiang Yu said: "Miss Xiruo, of course we know that these fish are for ornamental purposes. We are just curious. Under the circumstances you were in, you did not forcefully develop the edible properties of ornamental fish."
Just when Xi Ruo was about to argue and explain, Mei Jiu suddenly said: "How could it not be? It's just that this kind of fish is too unpalatable..."
Before Mei Jiu finished speaking, Xi Ruo, who was blushing, covered her mouth. It seems that the two of them have considered forcibly developing the edible properties of these fish.
Xi Ruo shook her head desperately at Ye Feng and said, "I don't."
It seemed that Xi Ruo no longer cared about Master Meijiu's image. She wanted to put aside her relationship with Master Meijiu as soon as possible and declare her innocence.
Ye Feng smiled and said: "The main purpose of this kind of fish is indeed to watch, but it is not inedible. It's just that the processing method is very complicated, so few people know about it. However, the book records that its taste is delicious, compared to mine The snow dolphin I made for you last time is not inferior at all."
Hearing this, Mei Jiu's eyes lit up and she said, "Really, can you do it, Ye Feng..."
Mei Jiu's mouth was covered by Xi Ruo again, and Xi Ruo was about to cry, saying: "Uncle, stop talking!"
Seeing this, Ye Feng just smiled, nodded, and said, "I will."
As he said that, E smiled and continued walking downstairs with everyone.

Yangming Academy not only teaches Confucian classics, but also pays attention to practice and emphasizes the unity of knowledge and action. Students not only have to learn cultural knowledge in the academy, but also participate in various social practice activities to hone their character and abilities.
Of course, as a Middle-earth academy, there is naturally a part of cultivation.
There are many other buildings in the college, such as Sutra Pavilion, Martial Arts Hall, dormitories, etc.
The Sutra Pavilion contains many cultivation secrets and ancient books, which are important resources for students to practice.
The martial arts hall is a place for students to practice skills and improve their strength.
The dormitory is a place for students to rest, with complete living facilities and a pleasant environment. But because there are no more students, it has always been empty.
Deep in Yangming Academy, there is a towering Sutra Pavilion named Zhixing Pavilion. This attic is where Yangming Academy stores its spiritual practice secrets and ancient books.
And this is naturally the most important place that everyone must come to. It is the foundation and foundation of a sect. After everyone entered Zhixing Pavilion, they saw many tall bookshelves lined with various secret books, but each ancient book was protected by a miniature magic circle.
Xiruo explained: "Although these miniature magic circles are weak, if you try to forcibly destroy them from the outside to steal the secret books, the magic circle will be activated instantly and completely burn the ancient skills books inside. Therefore, if you want to get these practice secret books, you must Pass the test of the 'Jade Book of Conscience'."
As she spoke, Xiruo pointed to the front center surrounded by bookshelves, where there was a sculpture of an unfolded book carved from blue jade - the "Jade Book of Conscience".
