I stole divine power in Daxia

Chapter 501 The Function of the Academy

Four thousand feet above Yujing Mountain, amidst the white clouds, pieces of space are connected, forming structures similar to the kingdom of God, similar to the Mingyue system built by Zhou Tieyi.

The Zixiao Taoist Palace that Daxia is building now is also made by refining the great Dao from a large area of ​​the divine kingdom, leaving the primordial space, and then outlining the laws in it.

However, unlike when Zhou Tieyi directly copied his own rules, the Zixiao Taoist Palace had more resources, more manpower and time to build, so they adopted the method of opening up, taking the Yuanshi Divine Kingdom as the foundation, and expanding it outward little by little by the Queen Mother, the Great Xia Saint, and the Daming Palace Master. Now, the Zixiao Taoist Palace above Yujing Mountain is dozens of miles in size, with the light of the sun and the moon hidden among the white clouds, as real as an illusion.

A row of white jade pillars are connected to the high dome. There is no roof built on it. Endless starlight is projected down, forming a magnificent and huge battle pattern, anchoring the directions in all directions.

"It really doesn't look like a palace on earth. I wonder how it will compare to the palace in heaven where all the gods gathered after it is actually built?"

Zhou Tieyi stepped into the hall, shuttled between the floating clouds, and sighed aloud.

In front of him, on the ground in the middle of the hall, Dong Xingshu was sitting cross-legged. Compared to before, in just a few days, Dong Xingshu's hair and beard, which were originally just gray, had turned completely white.

Hearing Zhou Tieyi's voice, he opened his eyes, "Don't you know what the Heavenly Palace is like? It can naturally be compared with the current Zixiao Dao Palace."

Zhou Tieyi smiled silently, "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but I really don't know what the Heavenly Palace is like."

Dong Xingshu looked at Zhou Tieyi deeply, and then asked, "How is Tang Anshi?"

Zhou Tieyi extended his palm and touched the white jade pillar of the palace. "Now that the Great Xia court is fighting but not breaking, let him retire and return to his hometown to teach."

When Dong Xingshu heard this, he thought for a moment and said, "That's good."

Zhou Tieyi turned around and looked at Dong Xingshu, "I came here this time on the orders of His Majesty, asking Mr. Dong to open the academy, take out the holy objects, and support the front line."

Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism each control one of the most secret places in the world.

Taoism masters the method to enter the heavenly palace, Buddhism masters the method to enter the underworld, and Confucianism masters the method to go to the academy. The three schools just happen to combine the three elements of heaven, earth and man, and therefore are superior to the other hundreds of schools.

"The battle on the front lines is dangerous and dangerous. Without the support of holy objects, there is a real risk of accidents."

Dong Xingshu did not say like Tang Anshi that "Confucian scholars all over the world would not allow it". Just his overall view was already far superior to those who were seeking fame and fortune.

"But opening the academy is a rare event. I want to open it to the successful candidates of this imperial examination like a soldier's tomb, so as to strengthen Daxia's foundation and cope with the changes in the future."

For Zhou Tieyi, this matter was originally about showing respect for others, so he naturally had no reason to refuse. He smiled and said, "Since it is to strengthen the foundation, then it may not be enough to limit it to the Jinshi of this year. It is the same if you let one sheep go or a flock of sheep go. It is better to let all the philosophers and hundreds of schools of thought recommend some people to come in."

Naturally, they could arrange as many of their own people as they could to enter this top-level secret realm. Zhou Tieyi knew how much benefit his mother had gained from the academy back then.

Dong Xingshu thought for a moment and nodded, "There is no time to lose. Let's notify everyone tonight and gather at noon tomorrow. Those who can come have arrived because of their chance, and those who are delayed have not yet arrived because of their chance."

After coming out of Zixiao Taoist Palace and returning to Zhou Mansion, Zhou Tieyi first informed his elder brother, Miaoyu and Ada as the candidates to enter the academy this time, and then found his mother to ask for the key to Zhou Mansion.

Now with his strength, he is able to handle the background that was difficult for the Zhou Mansion to handle before.

Entering the Pixiu treasure house, beams of light sealed the top three treasures.

Among them, two treasures are the most precious.

The first one is an armor made of white tiger skeleton. This white tiger armor was originally a second-grade god. He was defeated by the ancestor of Zhou family back then, and he didn't want his own kingdom and priesthood to be used by Zhou family, so he melted his own kingdom together with a large number of relatives in the kingdom and the Daxia army to form a cursed secret treasure.

Anyone who uses it will suffer an ominous fate, and if a person of Zhou family bloodline uses it, they will die immediately after using it.

The second item was a piece of amber condensed from blood. Twenty years ago, Zhou Tieyi's grandfather followed the current Emperor of Great Xia to fight at Sunset Pass. He used the White Tiger Armor to increase his strength and forcibly raised it to the second-grade level. Then, with the help of the blood talent of the Emperor of Life and Death, he completely sealed a second-grade general at the cost of his own blood and essence.

Both secret treasures are of the second grade level, which is of great help to Zhou Tieyi.

Mother Zhou sighed softly, took out two secret treasures from the two beams of light, and handed them to Zhou Tieyi. "You know better than me how to use these things, but if you use them before they are purified, don't underestimate the consequences."

"I know that."

Zhou Tieyi replied, and then asked his mother, "By the way, mother, the academy will be open tomorrow. What benefits are there?"

Zhou's mother had been to the academy, so she naturally knew what the good things in the academy were and where they were.

In addition to the holy object that was to be taken out, Zhou Tieyi naturally wanted to find out what other good things there were.

Hearing that the academy was about to be opened, Zhou's mother smiled knowingly. She had taken many good things from the academy back then, so she really loved the academy.

"Do you know where the academy is built?"

Zhou Tieyi thought about the knowledge he had mastered. Taoism cultivated the way of heaven and emphasized the unity of nature and man, so it controlled the Heavenly Palace. Buddhism cultivated the way of earth and emphasized the endless rotation of nature, so it controlled the Yellow Springs Road. Confucianism cultivated the way of man, and the academy it controlled was the knowledge he had brought to the ancient times.

Judging from Wu Mu's character, he must have taken some of the things he said at that time as the basis.

He thought for a moment and replied, "The path to the mountain of books is made through diligence, and the boat to the boundless sea of ​​learning is made through hard work."

Mother Zhou looked at Zhou Tieyi in surprise, "Did you guess it?"

Zhou Tieyi did not directly state the relationship between himself and Wu Mu, or that Wu Mu might be one of the three saints, but said, "It's just that these two sentences are the most widely circulated, so I think there is another mystery behind them."

Mother Zhou didn't think much about it and nodded. "The academy is indeed behind the Book Mountain and the Sea of ​​Learning. The so-called Book Mountain and the Sea of ​​Learning is a special place similar to a dream, a shadow world, and a mirror world. It is the concrete place of all the knowledge of my human race."

"However, unlike the shadow world, the mirror world and other illusory places that are formed naturally, I guess the academy should be a real and fake place that is formed later."

"A place of truth and falsehood formed after birth?"

Zhou's mother's expression became solemn, and she expressed a bold idea, "I think the academy is most likely a place created by the novelist's orthodoxy to make the fake look real." Novelist!
This time Zhou Tieyi was really shocked. He didn't expect that after going around in circles, he would end up back at the novelist's home.

However, Zhou Tieyi did not refute Zhou's mother's speculation, because it was indeed possible.

Since we can make up a person and make the fake look real, then making up a world is no problem.

Hu Wenlang is creating a fictional world to trap the memories of Emperor Wu of Wei in his previous life.

The academy is the origin of human knowledge. Knowledge itself has the characteristics of true and false, so it is easy to use it to construct the world.

But if a novelist can really construct a secret place like the academy, it would mean another big thing.

"Mother, are you trying to say that there might be a first-class expert among novelists?"

If the academy was really created by the novelist's lineage, then this path, which continues to this day, is also a path of at least the first rank.

Although novelists are very close to the upper nine classes, they have never been considered to be one of them because they have never produced a first-class writer.

But this contradicts the facts in the academy, which must hide a shocking secret.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Zhou's mother said, "I'm afraid it's not just as simple as the first rank. The academy fell from the sky, and there is no way to verify who made it. But the path to building the academy must be above the first rank, involving the transformation of the saintly path, at least a sub-saint status, this probability is even greater."

"But today's novelists have never produced a first-rate novel..."

Zhou Tieyi asked.

Zhou's mother sighed, "Since the academy is the embodiment of all knowledge, it can naturally hide or even erase the records and knowledge of its own orthodoxy. Therefore, the fact that the novelist has never produced a first-class scholar does not contradict the academy, because the record was originally false, so it is a fake."

Zhou Tieyi took two or three breaths to digest what his mother had just said. This reminded him of Guan Guan's words about being careful with novelists. With Guan Guan's status and knowledge, he must have known some secrets of the academy at the time and had the same guess as his mother, so he had been careful with novelists and given reminders in this regard.

This made Zhou Tieyi even more curious about Guan Guan's identity. If Guan Guan was just a priestess of the Blood Sea Lord, then she would definitely not dare to risk sneaking into Tianjing before the Great Xia Saint fell from the throne, and she could also confidently say in front of him that she wanted to get rid of the control of the Blood Sea Lord.

Putting these things together, it is easy to guess that Guan Guan must have something to rely on, something that can resist the control methods of the Blood Sea Lord.

Are the Five Emperors or someone else standing behind her?
Zhou Tieyi couldn't help but think intently.

Zhou's mother had only guessed about the academy. She just mentioned it today when Zhou Tieyi asked about it. As for why the novelist's orthodoxy was hidden or erased, this matter was a bit far-fetched, so Zhou's mother did not continue to discuss it, but talked about the good things in the academy.

"Because it is a place where the fake is real, the academy is not a dream, a shadow world or other completely unreal places, where half of the truth and half of the lies are there, especially when one of the nine ancient gods fell in the academy, which further increased the 'real attribute' of the academy."

"The Three Saints and Five Emperors slew the Nine Ancient Gods in the Eight Lands."

Zhou Tieyi softly recited a passage from the "Tonggu Jilue". Although it did not record the places where the other eight people died besides himself, based on the different dangerous situations, he could probably infer the places where most of them fell.

Mother Zhou said directly, "Earth Mother fell in the academy. She is the closest ancient god to humans among the nine ancient gods. Her strength is at least in the top four among the nine ancient gods. Many people even think that if we talk about who among the nine ancient gods is most likely to survive to this day, except... except for the Lord of Yanhuang, the probability of Earth Mother is even greater than that of the Emperor of Heaven."

When talking about the Lord of Yanhuang, Zhou's mother paused. She naturally knew that her son Zhou Tieyi was abnormal, and she also had channels to guess that her son was related to the Lord of Yanhuang, or even directly connected.

But she was not as worried as Zhou Tiege because she had more important information than anyone else in the world.

Zhou Tieyi is the "real" of Zhou's mother, and inherits Zhou's mother's losses.

If Zhou Tieyi was really replaced by the Lord of Yanhuang quietly, Zhou's mother would not be able to successfully overcome the emotional tribulation, nor would she be able to deal with the fact that she had suffered damage to Zhou Tieyi now.

So in Zhou's mother's view, her son was originally the leader of Yanhuang, and this situation did not surprise Zhou's mother.

Because the same is true for her eldest son Zhou Tiege. He has carried the blood of the Emperor of Life and Death since birth. In a sense, he is also the divine fetus of the Emperor of Life and Death. It is possible that at some point in the future, he will directly transform into the Emperor of Life and Death.

The matter of spiritual practice is extremely mysterious, and no one can tell what the future will be like, so Zhou's mother is more concerned about Zhou Tieyi's self-awareness. She secretly asked Miaoyu and got a very good answer.

Zhou Tieyi thought about it and decided that he had to hide the issue of the Lord of Yanhuang from Zhou Tiege, because he would take advantage of this man-made weakness in the future, but he had nothing to hide as for his mother.

"The two worlds merge into one, Zhou Tieyi is the cause, and the Lord of Yanhuang is the result."

He just explained it in one sentence, and with Zhou's mother's wisdom, she would definitely understand.

Mother Zhou looked into Zhou Tieyi's eyes and watched him quietly for about ten breaths. Then she said with a sense of relief, "Is it the magical power of reversing cause and effect? ​​It turns out that the holy way exists now, in the past, and in the future."

Ordinary people cannot understand the holy way, but Zhou's mother can.

Considering the timing of Zhou Tieyi's change, Zhou's mother could probably guess the cause and effect.

This spring, his youngest son's temperament began to change drastically. At that time, the two lives merged into one, but the two lives he mentioned were definitely not the 'Lord of Yanhuang', because the Lord of Yanhuang would never ask many of the basic questions of cultivation that he asked himself at that time, so his son was still Zhou Tieyi at that time.

Afterwards, because the two lives were united into one, he gained some supernatural powers as a saint, and was able to reverse cause and effect, becoming the Lord of Yanhuang in the past.

Mother Zhou smiled and said, "It's good that you understand who you are. When you and I reach our stage of cultivation, we are often confused like Zhuang Zhou, not knowing whether we are dreaming of being a butterfly or a human being dreaming of being a butterfly."

Having resolved the big confusion in her heart, Zhou's mother continued to talk about the academy.

"Because the Earth Mother fell in the academy, her teachings also affected the academy's 'birth' rules, and spirits similar to the book boy were born. In addition to the book boy, there are also many pen masters and ink girls. Of course, these are precious things to ordinary people. For you, the most precious thing about the academy is that the birth rules can help you and Miaoyu reproduce."

Zhou Tieyi's expression, which had been listening attentively, suddenly became dull. How could the situation suddenly change and he started talking?
