Daxia Academy.
Away from the busy city, the environment is quiet.
On the outer wall of the academy are eight powerful characters: educate all living beings, educate the world.
Qin Luo and Wan'er came to the gate of the academy. There were two young children outside the door. They were dressed in white. One child was reading and the other was practicing swordsmanship.
The child who was practicing swordsman looked at Qin Luo and the others, and said with a serious face: "The academy is not open for the time being, please stop!"
Wan'er said with a smile, "He is Taoist Qin from Longhu Temple, a distinguished guest invited by Her Royal Highness the Princess."
The kid practicing the sword still had a straight face and said loudly: "The rules are the rules. Even if the princess comes here, she needs the permission of the dean before she can enter."
Wan'er was a little embarrassed. She didn't expect that this child would not give them face. If other academy gentlemen were here, they would definitely let them in.
Qin Luo smiled and said softly: "Little friend, please go in and report. Qin Luo from Longhu Temple is passing by and wants to visit Dean Chen in the academy."
The child practicing swordsman looked at the child holding a book beside him and said, "Xiaoyun, go and tell the dean."
"Okay, senior brother!"
The child holding the book ran into the academy.
The child practicing swordsman looked at Qin Luo, "The Taoist priest probably doesn't know the rules of Daxia Academy. Our academy will be open for one hour every evening. Anyone can enter the academy at that time. Now is the time for the academy disciples to study."
Qin Luo apologized, "It seems I was wrong."
The sword-practicing child bowed in return, his face becoming much gentler, "Those who don't know are not guilty. Taoist priests are understanding people. Some people know that they have made mistakes, but they still remain aloof."
There was a smile in Qin Luo's eyes. This child practicing swordsmanship was only eight or nine years old. He was not much older than his junior sister, but he knew a lot. He was worthy of being a disciple of the academy.
"May I have your name?"
"My name is Tong Yan, Tong Yan Wuji's Tong Yan."
"That's a nice name."
"This name will be resounding all over the world in the future!"
"Will do."
Qin Luo smiled and nodded.
Tong Yan said seriously: "Do you really believe it?"
"I believe!"
Qin Luo said seriously.
"Taoist Priest, you have better vision than them." Tong Yan smiled happily, and he looked more like a child now.
An elegant middle-aged man quickly came to the door.
Tong Yan clenched his sword and cupped his fists, "I've seen Mr. Du!"
The elegant middle-aged man nodded and bowed to Qin Luo, "Du Lu of the academy, I have met Taoist Master Qin!"
Qin Luo bowed and returned the greeting, "Qin Luo has seen Mr. Du in the Dragon and Tiger Temple. He is very disturbing."
Du Lu's face was filled with a joyful smile, and he said enthusiastically: "Master Qin, it is our academy's honor that you can come to Daxia Academy, please come in quickly!"
Qin Luo followed Du Lu into the academy. The academy was divided into an inner courtyard and an outer courtyard. The disciples in the outer courtyard were younger and most of them were studying. They were full of curiosity about Qin Luo.
There is a very long avenue in the academy. On both sides of the avenue are stone tablets ten feet high, with densely carved inscriptions on them, all left by the academy's predecessors.
Qin Luo came to the stone tablet to read the inscription. The stone tablet recorded the reading insights of the predecessors and sages.
Du Lu said with a respectful expression: "Taoist Master Qin, our dean is busy with ancestor worship, so I would like to ask you to sit in Jingxinzhai for a while. He will arrive soon."
Qin Luo smiled slightly and said softly: "Don't worry, I want to see these inscriptions."
These inscriptions are filled with aura of awe.
When Qin Luo looks at the inscription, he sometimes nods and sometimes shakes his head. Nodding does not mean agreement, mainly because he thinks the inscription is well written. Shaking his head does not mean it is not well written, but it is different.
Although Wan'er was well-read, she had never been to the academy before. She was attracted by the inscriptions in the academy. When she came to her senses, Qin Luo had already walked far away.
Qin Luo read very quickly. Du Lu didn't know if Qin Luo had finished reading, but he saw that he was reading the inscription seriously, so he didn't bother him.
There were many academy disciples on this avenue. They were sitting cross-legged in front of the stone tablet to practice. Qin Luo saw Guan Yuqing, Zhou Yanghao and Meng Qingyun further away.
They were all practicing seriously and did not notice Qin Luo's arrival. The surroundings were very lively, but it was very quiet here. Qin Luo read all the inscriptions in less than half a day.
Qin Luo could feel the awe-inspiring aura of the academy gathering towards him. Du Lu was a gentleman of the academy and had a very high level, so he could naturally see the changes in the awe-inspiring aura nearby.
Du Lu had envy in his eyes.
Qin Luo did not absorb the awe-inspiring aura of the academy. When Du Lu saw it, his eyes became even more filled with admiration.
They walked through the avenue full of stone monuments and came to Jingxinzhai. After Qin Luo sat down, Wan'er stood beside him.
Du Lu brought hot tea to Qin Luo.
Qin Luo smiled and said: "Miss Wan'er, Mr. Du, please sit down."
Du Lu and Wan'er smiled and nodded. After they sat down, Qin Luo picked up the tea cup and drank tea. The scent of the tea was not strong, very light, giving people a sense of tranquility.
After Qin Luo finished drinking tea, not long after, Dean Chen Nianzhi came to Jingxinzhai. He was elegant and easy-going, and said enthusiastically: "Master Qin, I am guilty of keeping you waiting for a long time."
"Dean Chen, don't worry." Qin Luo stood up and bowed to Chen Nianzhi.
"Taoist Master Qin, please sit down."
"Dean Chen, please sit down too."
After Qin Luo and Chen Nianzhi sat down, Wan'er and Du Lu both stood up.
Chen Nianzhi didn't talk nonsense. He got straight to the point: "Taoist Master Qin, what do you think of the struggle between heaven and man?"
"I want to maintain the balance between the way of heaven and the way of humanity." Qin Luo advocates that peace is the most important thing.
Chen Nianzhi said with a smile: "Two fat guys are fighting. It is difficult to separate them. If you help one of them win, it will be easy."
"Got to try."
Qin Luo said with a smile.
Chen Nianzhi said with emotion: "A gentleman has things to do and things not to do. He knows he can do something and does it; he knows he can't do it but doesn't do it. Mr. Qin, we must act according to our ability."
Qin Luo chuckled and said: "The saint will do his duty."
Chen Nianzhi nodded and looked at Qin Luo, "So, Taoist Qin is a saint?"
Du Lu and Wan'er both looked at Qin Luo.
Qin Luo looked indifferent and chuckled: "I'm not a saint. I don't think a saint does his duty. He becomes a saint because he does his duty."
Chen Nianzhi and Du Lu nodded at the same time. They both agreed with Qin Luo, "It seems that Taoist Qin is more of a scholar than us scholars."
Wan'er had admiration in her eyes.
Qin Luo chuckled and said, "I used to be a scholar too."
Chen Nianzhi laughed loudly and said with a serious expression: "Daoist Master Qin, you must have other purposes for coming here?"
Qin Luo did not hide anything and nodded slightly, "I sense the existence of the fragments of heaven."
Chen Nianzhi smiled calmly, "Since Taoist Master Qin is interested in the fragments of Heavenly Dao, you can try it. Whether you can take away the fragments of Heavenly Dao depends on your ability."
Du Lu frowned slightly. The academy would never stop everyone from trying to take away the fragments of heaven. It mainly wanted everyone to retreat in spite of difficulties, but he felt that Qin Luo was different from other strong men.
Qin Luo followed Chen Nianzhi to the inner courtyard.
In the martial arts field in the inner courtyard, there was a long sword. The long sword was stuck on the ground, surrounded by golden light. Chen Nianzhi chuckled and said: "That is the Haoran Sword, a fairy sword that cuts the sky."
Qin Luo heard Chu Peiran mention that his dream was to pick up the fairy sword in the academy.
Du Lu said solemnly: "It is difficult to control the fragments of Heaven's Dao. They all rely on this Haoran Sword to suppress them. If you want to get the fragments of Heaven's Dao, you must first pull out the Haoran Sword."
Chen Nianzhi said with a smile: "Many powerful men have tried recently, including Yuan Qi from the Dao Alliance and Qin Hao, the crown prince of the Dazhen Dynasty, but they have not been able to get close to the Haoran Sword."
Qin Luo's expression was indifferent. He walked towards Haoran Sword and did not feel any pressure.
Chen Nianzhi originally had a smile on his face, but when he saw Qin Luo walking to Haoran Sword easily, his expression became serious.
Qin Luo stretched out his hand to hold the hilt of the sword, and pulled out the Haoran Sword with gentle force. Then dazzling golden light burst out from the ground, and the entire academy shook.
Chen Nianzhi looked shocked.
Du Lu and Wan'er knelt down on the spot.
Qin Luo looked at the fragments of Heavenly Dao that wanted to escape. He stretched out his hand and held the fragments of Heavenly Dao in his hands. The fragments of Heavenly Dao turned into golden balls of light.
Chen Nianzhi looked shocked, holding the Haoran Sword in one hand and the fragment of Heaven in the other. Looking at the world, only a handful of strong men such as Buddha and the founder of Confucianism could do it.
"Who is he?"
