Chapter 138 A Big Event

Emperor Wu of Jin, Huangfu Yanxiong, had a rough idea. Although he was successfully abdicated by Emperor Zhou Shun with the support of his family, after he put down the Gongsun regime that had ruled Western Shu for more than 50 years, he began to recruit a large number of poor families to try to fight against these occupations. A member of the Zhou family family who is the mainstream of the court.Of course, Emperor Wu of Jin did not go into battle himself, he used Jia Chong, the father of Empress Jia Zhi.

Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty Huangfu Yan had a total of [-] sons who died prematurely, of which six were extremely talented, and these six did not include Huangfu Zhong, the current emperor of Jin Dynasty.But Huangfu Zhong was the only one who didn't have close contact with the aristocratic family back then, and only Huangfu Zhong fully supported Emperor Wu of Jin's establishment of Hongdu Academy back then!In the end, Emperor Wu of Jin married Jia Zhi, the eldest daughter of Jia Chong, for Huangfu.

From Shen Xiu's point of view, Hongdu College is the last frontier for poor families!It is the symbol of fighting against the family Zhoumen!
And Shen Xiu saw through this, and persuaded Zhao Wang Huangfu Lun, who was originally in charge of Liangzhou and Yongzhou's military affairs, to support Huangfu Zhong instead.Before becoming the dean of Hongdu College, Shen Xiu was originally a subordinate of King Zhao Huangfulun.And just three months ago when the Crown Prince Huangfu Yu was arrested and the people in Shangluo City were moved, it was King Zhao Huangfulun who led five thousand elites from Chang'an to enter Shangluo City overnight, which finally made the people in Shangluo City feel moved. Political forces had to quiet down.

So in Shen Xiu's view, Wang Tianci's coming to challenge this time is the aristocratic Zhou family's counterattack against Huangfu Yu's dismissal.Although the two old foxes, Situ Wangrong and Taiwei Wang Yan, were apparently supporting Queen Jia Zhi to abolish Crown Prince Huangfu Yu, they belonged to the aristocratic Zhou family, and it was impossible for them to betray the aristocratic Zhou family.As for what purpose they were going to achieve this time, Shen Xiu didn't know.But Wang Tianci lost, so don't talk about the follow-up.

Therefore, Dean Shen is in a very good mood now!
Many people don't know the inside story of the abolition of the prince, but Shen Xiu knows it very well, because he did a lot of work behind the scenes, and it can also be said that he is the mastermind, but he always stands behind Zhao Wang Huang Fulun, and Zhao Wang Huang Fulun stood behind Empress Jia Zhi.

Hmph, Zhou Clans of aristocratic families, one day I, Shen Xiu, will finally change the situation where you cover the sky with one hand. I, Shen Xiu, want to let the most poor families in the world have a lot of cultivation resources!
"My lord, Zhao Yu is here to pay my respects!" Just as his thoughts were racing, he heard a familiar voice outside his room.

"Please come in!" Shen Xiu valued Zhang Bu very much, but Shen Xiu valued Zhao Yu even more.Although on the surface, he treats all the students equally, and although everyone in Hongdu Academy says that the three heroes of Hongdu are the top students of the Dean of Shen University, Shen Xiu's favorite is Zhao Yu from the bottom of his heart.

Without him, because he could tell that Zhao Yu was the one who most resembled him.

Zhao Yu's talent surpassed Zhou Zhangbu's. He was born with four spiritual veins. His sea of ​​energy was greater than that of ordinary cultivators, and more importantly, his spiritual consciousness was far greater than that of ordinary cultivators.Zhang Bu's ability to become one of the three masters of Hongdu depends on his hard work and tenacity, while Zhao Yu's ability to become the first talisman of Hongdu Academy depends on his talent.

The study of talismans is the most important thing about talent!

There are three major schools of cultivation: body refining, spells, and talismans.

Legend has it that in the ancient times, the protagonists of this world were not human beings at that time, it was the era when the witch clan and the monster clan were fighting for hegemony.Weak human beings imitated the Wuzu and learned the art of body refining, and imitated the Yaozu to learn the art of magic.The Lich War finally destroyed the ancient era, known as the era of great destruction in history.Then, human beings slowly became the protagonists of this world.

But when there is no inexhaustible spiritual energy in the sky and the earth, and the spiritual power stored in the sea of ​​​​qi is only a little, the magic technique gradually declines.Because spells consume the most spiritual power, and body training consumes very little spiritual power.Not only that, body training can greatly increase the physical strength of the body. Even without those exercises that consume a certain amount of spiritual power, strength alone can greatly improve human beings.Once the spell is used, the consumption of spiritual power is consumed.

It was also the great sage Fuxi in ancient times who creatively issued runes.According to the combination of various runes, and these combinations are attached to specific animal skins with specific spirit stones or animal blood containing spiritual power (later, a great sage issued the talisman paper), it only needs a little bit to trigger the spirit. Power can produce effects similar to spells.Later cultivators called it Talismanology!

This is a unique release of human beings. It is one of the most important tools that human beings have relied on to gradually defeat other creatures on this planet since the great sage Fuxi and finally become the undisputed protagonist of this planet. It is the crystallization of the wisdom of countless predecessors.

In the early years of the Great Shang Dynasty, a legendary master of comprehension once asserted: The study of talismans is the direction of future development of comprehension!

Shen Xiu firmly believed in this.He himself is a great expert in the study of talismans, and it is through the study of talismans that he advanced to the ranks of fourth-grade cultivators.

This is very, very rare!
Not to mention spells, no cultivator from a poor family would be so extravagant to practice spells!Even those aristocratic Zhou clans with extremely rich cultivation resources would not allow their children to practice spells.Because spells consume too much cultivation resources, the cost performance is extremely low. Of course, spells are extremely lethal.

Ninety-nine percent of the humble cultivators are body trainers. Even for body trainers, the supply of cultivation resources for many people is still insufficient, so how can they talk about cultivating talismans and spells.

The understanding of talisman science by a master of talisman such as Shen Xiu is that there are three key points: first, you must have an amazing memory, because when the runes were developed to the Great Jin Dynasty, there were already more than 7000 characters, and each rune had a complicated structure. The runes look almost identical at first glance, differing only in subtleties.And what does a single rune, double runes, or even a combination of multiple runes mean.What kind of spirit mine and rune fluid should be used for each part of each rune, and so on.Without a strong memory, it is impossible to achieve certain attainments in talismanology.Just such a point makes many practitioners daunted by the study of talismans.The second is that the consciousness must be strong.Runes are extremely fine symbols, and they are almost impossible, and the consequences are sometimes even diametrically opposite.If a talisman teacher wants to draw precise runes, it is impossible to do it without a strong spiritual sense.Third, there must be a talent for understanding runes.Those who can truly become masters of talismans do not memorize every rune and combination of runes by rote.It would never be possible to memorize all the combinations of runes that require such precision by rote memorization.Many junior talisman masters just memorize certain limited rune combinations by rote, and this is their limit.For the rest of their lives, they can only engage in talisman work related to these combinations they memorized by rote.And if you want to become a master of talismans, you must have a deep understanding of each rune. You must understand why this rune is constructed in such a way, and why that rune is constructed in that way.This is the most profound thing in talismanology.And these things Shen Xiu himself has only just begun to understand.In this world, only those wealthy families that have been passed down for thousands of years have systematic research on these profound knowledge. It is the crystallization of the talisman geniuses of various families in the past, and it will never be passed on to the outside world. thing!
Shen Xiu has this kind of talent, and he found that Zhao Yu also has it, and compared with him, he is not weaker than him at all.

Zhao Yu is a talented talisman teacher, but unfortunately he was born in a poor family, just like Shen Xiu.Shen Xiu felt sorry for Zhao Yu more than once.Such a talented talisman master, if he was born in the aristocratic Zhou family, would have already become a famous talisman rookie all over the world, and even broke through the sixth-rank cultivator and became the fifth-rank cultivator.

And this is not what Shen Xiu values ​​Zhao Yu the most.

What he valued most about Zhao Yu was that Zhao Yu was a cultivator with the world in his heart, a cultivator who was dissatisfied with the monopoly of the Zhou family, and a cultivator who longed for a change.It's not about changing yourself, this is ninety-nine percent of the practitioners in the world, including Zhangbu.But to change the world!

It's not that we are wrong, but society is wrong, this society is sick, and it is very sick!
What needs to be changed is not me, Shen Xiu or him, Zhao Yu, but the whole society that needs to be changed!
This is what Shen Xiu values ​​Zhao Yu the most!
Zhao Yu's feelings towards Shen Xiu are complicated and contradictory, just like his feelings towards the aristocratic Zhou family.

Zhao Yu likes to read, not only about comprehension, but also about other books about history, geography, social figures and customs.Since three generations, China has experienced Great Xia, Great Yin, Great Qin, Great Shang and then Great Zhou and Great Jin.Familiar with history, he likes to think since he was a child, why Da Xia was replaced by Da Yin, and why Da Yin, which lasted the longest, finally declined and Da Qin eventually ruled the world.He is a very smart person, but he is still very confused about it.The sages had different opinions on these things, and they all seemed to make sense.

The Great Zhou was abdicated by the Great Shang, and the Great Jin was abdicated by the Great Zhou.

Everyone in the world says that this is what the three generations of ancient times should have looked like.This world belongs to the people of the world, and the position of the son of heaven must be occupied by those who are virtuous, instead of sitting in the end like the Great Xia, Yin, and Qin Dashang.

Zhao Yu very much agrees with this point of view.He very much recognized that Da Jin eventually replaced Da Zhou.Back then, two generations and three members of the Huangfu family took turns to be the rulers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and only talents were promoted. The world's virtuous people, no matter the Zhou family or the humble family, as long as they really have both ability and political integrity, the Huangfu family will not hesitate to take any position.

However, after the Great Jin successively pacified the Gongsun family and the Qian family in Jiangdong, which had been separated from Xishu since the end of the Great Shang Dynasty, the world was unified, the barbarians bowed their heads, and there was nothing wrong with the world.What should a cultivator from a poor family do at this time?

He often thinks about these issues, Zhang Bu does not, and many practitioners of the academy do not. What they think about is how to improve themselves, or make friends and enjoy themselves in a timely manner.

Zhang Bu also dislikes the family of Zhou's family, but he does not like Zhou's family of family because he thinks that Zhou's family has occupied the position that should belong to him, and robbed the opportunity that should have belonged to him.He didn't hate the unfairness itself, but hated himself for being in an unfair and weak position.

Zhang Bu didn't understand Zhao Yu, but Zhao Yu understood Zhang Bu.

Therefore, these facts often make Zhao Yu, who likes to observe, even more confused.

Are cultivators from poor families really better than cultivators from aristocratic Zhou families?Whether it is cultivation or personality quality?
The colleges of Hongdu College are all poor families recommended by the states and counties, and the recommenders are Zhongzheng from the states and counties.Almost without exception, the Zhongzhengs in the prefectures and counties of the Jin Dynasty were people from the Zhou family of various aristocratic families.Zhao Yu was from Zhao County, and he was strongly recommended by Li Yiqiang, who was born in Zhao County's Li Family, who was born in Zhao County's eight wealthy families, and finally came to Shangluo to become a student of Hongdu College.Li Yi was very optimistic about his talent in talisman learning. Zhao Yu remembered the way Li Yi looked at him when he passed Li Yi's test, and he was very excited.

"This son will become the pride of our Zhaojun cultivators in the future!" Li Yi praised publicly in front of everyone at that time.

Not only that, learning talisman requires a lot of resources.Li Yi would send people to Zhao Yu every year with a considerable amount of various talisman papers, talisman fluids and even various types of spiritual stones and spiritual sand, which always made Zhao Yu grateful.

The two parties have no relatives and no reason, and with the strength of the Li family in Zhaojun and Li Yi's own cultivation as a fourth-rank cultivator, there is no need to deliberately please such an obscure and humble family like him.Even if he, Zhao Yu, wears a red belt and purple in the future, even if he becomes a first-rank black-robed great master, he still won't look good enough in front of the Li family in Zhao County.As a wealthy family that has been passed down for thousands of years, the Li family in Zhaojun has produced countless third-rank and second-rank cultivators in history, and many first-rank great masters. With such deep roots and strong strength, how can a humble family be able to stand up to it?

He knew their dean Shen Xiu, and he admired his dean Shen Xiu from the bottom of his heart, but he didn't fully agree with Shen Xiu's political ideas.

The system for recommending talents in Dajin is called Jiupin Zhongzheng System.The three aspects of family background, personal cultivation, and personal quality are each determined as the upper, middle and lower ranks, so it is called the nine-rank Zhongzheng system.

From Shen Xiu's point of view, personal cultivation and personal quality naturally need to be set at the upper, middle and lower ranks, but the family background should definitely be deleted!Not only that, but even the governors of the states and counties need to be reformed.

He and Shen Xiu are both teachers and friends, and many of Shen Xiu's ideas can only be talked about when facing him.He could feel Shen Xiu's expectations and attention to him.He agreed with Shen Xiu's opinion on deleting the family background, but he and Shen Xiu had different views on Zhongzheng's criticism.

Shen Xiu believes that there should be strict and uniform standards for judging personal cultivation, and then everyone will take a unified test.As it is now, it is too subjective to just let Zhongzheng judge, and there are too many tricks in it.

Zhao Yu and Shen Xiu had discussed it many times. In his opinion, the unified examination standard is a big problem, and Shen Xiu can't give any standard to ensure that the selected talents are excellent and truly useful to society.

Therefore, Zhao Yu has always been very contradictory and confused. Although he is very smart and excellent, he still can't figure out many things.

"It's the Zhangbu swordsmanship that you pointed out, right?" Shen Xiu looked at Zhou Xing who came in with Zhao Yu, but didn't take the Zhu Guo from Zhou Xing's hand, but let him put it on the table at the side first, so straightforward asked.

"Yes." Zhou Xing knew in his heart that he couldn't hide it from these advanced fourth-grade cultivators, so he nodded without hesitation.

"Your name is Zhou Xing. You are from Shangluo, Sili. Both of your parents died. Da Jin Yonghe entered Hongdu College in five years and became a handyman. Am I right?"

Zhou Xing continued to nod his head and replied, "Master Dean is right."

"A big event happened in Shangluo in the fourth year of Dajin Yonghe," Shen Xiu continued to say with great interest, but this time he sent it to Zhao Yu.
