In Wenshi Hall, Yan Boqiao convened a meeting with the chief executive to make arrangements for the follow-up matters of Sangtian Wupojing Hedao.
"The emperor replied that the ceremony of worship has been prepared. I will accompany all the bachelors to Luodu to observe the ceremony in three days. The rotation period of this season is almost over. After I leave, I will ask Ji Zi to take over. I just want to It’s hard work for a few extra days.”
Ji Xian agreed: "Don't worry."
Yan Boqiao added: "It's just a letter from Chenggong of Luodu. The emperor can no longer afford the cost of the ceremony, and he hopes that the academy will share it."
Uncle Lian frowned: "Is the Zhou family in such a state of embarrassment?"
Yan Boqiao said: "It was only a few years after the Jian Zong joined the Tao, and the academy started to join the Tao. For the Zhou Dynasty, the cost was indeed too high. With my opinion, two hundred gold can be allocated from the treasury. I wonder what Uncle Lian and Ji Zi think?"
For the academy, two hundred gold is really not much, and the two great monks agreed.
Yan Boqiao continued: "The Great Alchemist chose to stay at the Thirteenth Peak. Master Pan is refining the alchemy room for the Great Alchemist. After Ji Zi takes over, please supervise us so that the Great Alchemist can move in after we come back." .”
Ji Xian nodded: "Okay."
Now comes the last thing, and the most controversial one.
Yan Boqiao said with emotion: "As you all know, a few days ago, the great alchemist went to the fourth peak in person. He used reason and emotion, and finally made Donglizi bow his head. The emotion at that time really moved heaven and earth to tears. Ghosts and gods, I heard that even Tatsuko was on the verge of tears, and the others even cried uncontrollably, alas..."
Uncle Lian and Ji Xian were both speechless, and listened expressionlessly as Yan Boqiao continued to be moved: "Now, Dong Lizi has also signed a heart oath document, promising to be loyal to the Academy from now on. Dong Lizi cultivates himself, It stands to reason that I should be a cultivator for the Academy. I think this matter is very important. Now among the cultivators, the Great Alchemist and the Sword Sect have broken through and joined forces. Ziyu is recovering from his injuries again. Jiang Ying doesn’t know where he has gone. There is a shortage of people in the cult. .Ji Zi, Uncle Lian, what do you think?"
Uncle Lian disagreed: "This matter is difficult to handle. Letting Dong Lizi go has already made many people dissatisfied. If he is recommended to serve as a leader in the academy, he may not be convinced. At least the eldest son will have a hard time."
Ji Xian also frowned and said: "Donglizi is a heavy prisoner in the academy. Many heavy prisoners have been trapped in the fourth peak for their entire lives and never come out. This is the academy's measure to punish those who violate the prohibition and to deter evil spirits and heretics. Because of the Great Alchemist Therefore, releasing him is an exceptional move. If he were to suddenly pull it out again, there would be a lot of discussion. Of course, Donglizi is well cultivated. It would be a pity if it is abandoned and used. In my opinion, it is not If you follow the example of the four envoys who guard the mountain, you will use your position in vain but use it in reality."
Uncle Lian asked again: "What did the bachelors say? What did the bachelor Hu say?"
Yan Boqiao said: "The wishes of the bachelors are that we should recommend them according to the rules. It doesn't matter whether they succeed or not. Bachelor Hu has not specifically warned this matter. But no matter what, this is the junior disciple of the Great Alchemist after all. The master is a bachelor of the Academy, and if we disobey his wishes, we may not look good."
Ji Xian and Uncle Lian both shook their heads, feeling that this matter was really difficult, and even they themselves were somewhat unable to accept it.
Yan Boqiao finally said: "The wishes of several bachelors are for us to recommend them according to the rules. Why not just recommend them according to the rules? It is up to you to decide whether you can be recommended. I will be able to reply to a few of them then." Bachelor, is this good?"
After all, the chief minister on duty was Yan Boqiao. Seeing that he insisted on convening a meeting to complete the matter, Ji Xian and Uncle Lian could only nod.
Yan Boqiao immediately asked everyone to inform everyone to practice at home, and scheduled a meeting the next day to jointly recommend a new practice.
After coming down, Uncle Lian saw that Ji Xian was preoccupied and asked, "Ji Zi is worried about tomorrow's meeting? Don't worry, Donglizi can't pass the first level of practicing. How many people are practicing at home now? There are only eight people in total. You, Neither I, the eldest son, nor Tatsuko will agree, and that’s half the story. Panshi and Nongqiu rarely express their opinions, and even if they express their opinions, they always listen to everyone, at most one person on each side."
Ji Xian sighed: "That's why I'm worried. This is none other than the junior disciple of the Great Alchemist. As is the custom in the academy, there are very few people who don't recommend him as a follower. If Donglizi doesn't become a follower, , isn’t this an obvious show of disrespect to the Great Alchemist? How should the Great Alchemist deal with himself? He is a Taoist. If there is a conflict with the Academy, I am afraid there will be hidden dangers in the future. But if I agree with Donglizi to practice, I I can’t pass my level again...sigh..."
Uncle Lian was silent for a moment, and without any better solution, he also sighed.
The next day, a major meeting to recommend new followers was held in Wenshi Hall of Yan Boqiao. Three great followers of Yan Boqiao, Ji Xian, and Uncle Lian arrived, as did Chenzi, Panshi, Changhong, and Nongqiu. , just wait for Wu Sheng.
There was a commotion outside Wenshi Hall. Today's discussion was relatively sensitive and topical. After hearing the news, many monks from the academy rushed over and waited outside the hall.
Wu Sheng arrived a little later. He was the most down-to-earth and people-friendly among all the disciples. He often mingled with the monks in the academy. When he arrived, there was a chorus of inquiries outside Wenshi Hall: "Sun Fengsheng, would you recommend Dong Xing?" Fence?"
Someone admonished: "Sun Fengxing, Donglizi was once a serious offender in the academy. I am suddenly recommended as Fengxing. I am afraid that there is something wrong. Please think again, Sun Fengxing!"
Someone objected loudly: "Sun Fengxing, if an evil heretic suddenly pledges allegiance to the academy, can it be regarded as being a disciple of the academy? We really don't understand! Please tell Sun Fengxing what we mean..."
"Nonsense! What's wrong? Who said that Senior Donglizi is an evil heretic? May I ask what he has done that is outrageous to both humans and gods? Lu Ji, just answer Guan's question. If you can't answer it, you won't be able to answer it!"
"Yes, that's right. Senior Donglizi and Academician Sang belong to the same sect. They have been entangled in the same sect for sixty years. That's enough. Why are you so vicious-hearted? Why don't you want to be nice to others? Senior brothers put aside their past grudges and work together to serve in the academy. , To uphold the righteous path and protect the righteousness, this is a story that has been passed down through the ages! Mr. Zuo stood up for Senior Donglizi and took up the position to implement it. If anyone is dissatisfied, go up to the cloud platform with Mr. Zuo!"
"Have you not seen that our academy is at its peak? The six academicians are suppressing the world in a way that has not been seen in a hundred years! Why is this? It's probably because we are inclusive and open to all rivers!"
"" Sun Fengxing, I and I in the Dharma Lecture Hall have jointly submitted a letter to Sun Fengxing and hope that Sun Fengxing will forward it to you. I sincerely ask you to agree to recommend Donglizi as the school's leader! "
"Sun Fengxing, this is a letter jointly signed by my colleagues in the stall. We have checked the files and found that Donglizi has not committed any treacherous or evil crimes. Please recommend Senior Donglizi to be Fengxing!"
"This is a joint letter signed by my colleagues from Daku..."
"This is a joint letter from my colleagues in the Qi Fu Pavilion..."
Wu Sheng accepted the remonstrances and collected them on the spot. He said to everyone: "You all have a school in your heart and a concern for the world. With you here, why worry about the road not being prosperous and the world worrying about injustice? I should tell you all Please convey this message!"
Immediately there was a shout of applause outside Wenshi Hall: "Sun Fengxing said it well!"
"Sun Fengxing is a truly virtuous and respectable person. With Sun Fengxing's initiative, we can rest assured!"
"Sun Feng followed the good deeds, and we admire him!"
"Sun Fengxing, you can't be like this...uh...uh..."
"Sun Fengxing, I'm not convinced... Oops..."
In the Wenshi Hall, everyone looked at each other in confusion, watching Wu Sheng enter solemnly. He was holding a joint document in his hand. It was not a simple document, it was the wish of the monks in the academy and represented the voice of the monks all over the world. !
