Yangzhou Sun Wu was a well-known figure in the academy, and he was called "Who in the academy doesn't know you." This registration immediately attracted countless onlookers, and many monks in the academy looked down to say hello: "Sun Xingxing, and Back to the academy?"
"Sun Xingxing, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you doing?"
"Sun Xingxing, do you want to be questioned again? Don't worry, there is no injustice. We are all here and we will definitely help!"
"What's your look? Didn't you see the canopy of the carriage? This is a courtesy!"
"Ah? Could it be that Sun Xingxing is the general?"
"Sun Xingxing has broken through?"
"Is Sun Xingxing exhausted from training?"
"Sun Xingxing, I heard that you found King Yu's cave?"
The atmosphere downstairs gradually became more and more lively. Suddenly, the news that Sun Wu, who was traveling in Yangzhou, had broken through the realm to refine the emptiness and accepted Ren Fengxing, spread throughout the academy.
Amid the heated discussion, Wu Sheng frequently waved downwards, then straightened his clothes, walked downstairs, boarded the chariot, sat under the canopy, and greeted everyone with a smile.
"Wang Jijiu, I will talk to Jijiu about the cave of King Yu later...Brother Chen, it is really a fluke that my brother entered the realm of refining the void...Brother Zuoqiu, why are you here free? Yan? Isn’t Fengxing there? Haha..."
The car turned around and rushed towards Shangyuan Hall. It didn't take long for them to arrive.
The last time I came here, I was suspected of "tandem communication" and was a guilty person. I came to Shangyuan Hall for questioning. This time I came again and it was already the school's pursuit!
In Shangyuan Hall, Uncle Lian is sitting in the middle. On his left is Da Fengxing Ji Xian. Yan Boqiao, Chenzi, Sang Tianwu, Jiang Ying, Panshi, Luo Lingfu, Lu Tong, Chang Hong and others are at the bottom. Sitting on the futon.
One of them I didn’t know, he must be Sheng Nongqiu. He often went out to pick elixirs. Wu Sheng had never seen him before. It was just because of his slovenly dress that Wu Sheng’s first impression was that of an old farmer plowing the fields. Therefore, it is speculated that he is Nongqiu.
The two great ministers, the ten ministers, and everyone who can be there are all present, because there are two major things to be discussed today:
The first is that Wu Sheng was enthroned and committed to his duties. Judging from the etiquette with which Shangyuan Hall welcomed him, this point should have been passed. It was a pity that because he was not present, he did not see how the devotees passed, which made him feel less satisfied.
Sure enough, Uncle Lian said: "Jianzong Hedao has become a bachelor, and the academy needs to complement one more. Sun Wu, you traveled to Yangzhou and made outstanding contributions. You are the best in the world, and you discovered King Yu's cave. This is a great achievement." The academy should give you a heavy reward for your merits. Now that you have entered the void, after discussion among all of you, you will be included in the list of followers. I wonder if you are willing?"
Wu Sheng was naturally willing: "Sun has little talent and little knowledge, so he may not be qualified for the job." According to Wu Sheng's precedent when he was a doctor in Shangyong Jin Dynasty, the prevailing trend in the world was to be modest and polite. Be eager, and then reluctantly agree.
But this is the academy, a holy place in the hearts of monks all over the world. Wu Sheng asked Luo Lingfu in advance what he should do. Luo Lingfu's answer was to let him accept it directly and not to follow the habits of ordinary people from all over the world. There are many people eyeing this position. Although only Wu Sheng enters the void and meets the conditions at the moment, but some people are not convinced, they will go with the flow and let this position hang for the wise people. By then it will be too late to cry.
Therefore, a few words of humility are fine, but Wu Sheng did not dare to add "please ask someone else", which would be too modest.
Sure enough, someone spoke up, and it was Jiang Ying: "It is true that his cultivation level is a little shallow. If he encounters evil demons and heretics in the same realm, he may not be his opponent."
Luo Lingfu immediately answered: "Sun Wu, from now on, keep in mind Jiang Fengxing's words, always alert yourself, practice hard, put more effort into fighting, and don't be too obsessed with the alchemy path."
Wu Sheng nodded: "Yes."
One word, which together answered Uncle Lian’s question - I am willing.
So Uncle Lian said: "That's it. Please take a seat at Sun Fengxing."
Two monks from the Shangyuan Hall came up carrying a futon and respectfully placed them at the head of Luo Lingfu and at the end.
Wu Sheng took his position, cupped his fists with Luo Lingfu beside him, and sat down.
What a great futon. The futon that I use to sit on is soft and comfortable, eh? The corners are still outlined with gold wire, beautiful!
After he sat down, Uncle Lian said again: "Jianwu is guarding the western frontier, and Ziyu is in retreat in Wushan. Now it's only Ji Zi and I who are taking turns, walking on thin ice, and working very cautiously. Now it's better, I have received orders from the scholars, Can you recommend someone who will be responsible for serving as a great minister to share the concerns of Ji Zi and I? I wonder if anyone among you can recommend him?"
In order to achieve great devotion, one must cultivate beyond the advanced cultivation of emptiness, that is, to cultivate Yang Shen. Among the practitioners present here, only Yan Boqiao and Chenzi meet the requirements. Of course there was also Jian Zong, but they went straight to Hedao.
The remaining Jiang Ying and Lu Tong both had one foot on the threshold, belonging to the half-step Yang Shen stage. The rest, including Panshi, Luo Lingfu, Chang Hong, and Nongqiu, had not yet reached the stage of fire.
As for Kuang Tianwu, of course he has reached the stage of Yangshen, but he is a alchemist, and his fighting skills are universally recognized as poor. He can be a monk, but it is impossible to be a great monk on duty. At this point, Wu Sheng was on the same page as him.
Therefore, the actual competition is mainly between Yan Boqiao and Chenzi. One of them is in charge of the academy's fines, and the other is in charge of the heavy prisoners in the Fourth Peak. They are both black-faced figures. Among the academy monks, they are the first-class clean street tigers that everyone avoids. If they were recommended by the Grand Duke of the academy monks, Even if they die, they won't be able to get into the position of great devotee. They can only be recommended in the middle of devotion, and it's their turn.
Yan Bo Qiao Qian said: "Chen Zi is selfless and has always had a mountain of prestige. With him on duty, the world will believe him."
Chenzi in turn recommended Yan Boqiao: "Brother Yan is very senior. He manages the peaks of the back mountain in an orderly manner. He is convinced by the world. He can be a role model for his younger brothers."
Yan Boqiao retorted: "Chenzi's statement is ridiculous. Over the years, I have punished countless people who have been punished for labor. When they see me, they respect me in person and scold me behind my back. How can I not know? Haha..."
Chenzi shook his head: "Brother Yan is the one who does things. Only by clear rewards and punishments can the top and bottom be in order. If there is harmony, there will be no punishment for those who make mistakes, and there will be no rewards for those who have made meritorious deeds. It will be the same for everyone who does good or evil. Everyone will do as they please, and the academy will fall apart."
The two of them just debated in front of each other, talking about each other's faults and talking about each other's faults, and they couldn't argue for a while.
Uncle Lian said: "Why are you two so humble? Being on duty for the Academy is a hard job. You have to work hard for the practitioners in the world and work hard to promote the righteous way. Is it possible that you are unwilling?"
The two men quickly expressed their opinions, saying that they would rather live in ruins than take time off for their own selfish purposes. This satisfied Uncle Lian.
Uncle Lian asked: "Besides Yan and Chen, is there anyone else you can recommend?"
Everyone in the hall said "No more", so Uncle Lian said: "Then please choose one."
