Saint Immortal Way

() Those who ridicule Lu Yang and Bailongtan Academy are destined to have no good fruit to eat, because Lu Yang has real talents and learning, and the Academy is known as the No. [-] Academy in Huangzhou, and it deserves its name.Other academies scorned and slandered it just because they couldn't get used to it because of jealousy. This was not the first time, nor would it be the last time.

Coming out of Fengyi Building and parting ways with Wang Tianhe, Lu Yang came to Linshui Villa. On the pier in front of Zhuangzi, large ships were docked, shouting and shouting, and the people in the villa were nervously carrying and counting supplies.

Most of the supplies are all kinds of alchemy materials, ranging from five grains, to various elixir, spiritual stones, and even the special spiritual springs, jade liquid, and sweet springs of Dadongshan.

The amount of elixir and spiritual stones recovered by the various tribes of Yanheol Volcano is also gradually increasing, but most of them are purchased from various places in Kyushu.

At present, the newly built medicine garden is really not able to provide medicinal materials. The medicinal materials imported now are all imported from various medicinal material dealers. The whole Kyushu transported in all kinds of elixir materials, and it was to the point of sparing no effort.

This has led to the prosperity of various spiritual stones, medicinal materials, etc. markets in Kyushu, and indirectly stimulated many related industries.

The Six Arts Contest is approaching, and Bailongtan Academy is gradually becoming lively.There are a total of thirteen academies in Huangzhou, with Bailongtan Academy as the first, so all previous state competitions will be held in Bailongtan Academy. About 200 Confucian scholars from the other twelve academies participated in this state competition, but following these contestants More than 5000 people came, which is an unprecedented event.

In order to provide good reception, Bailongtan Academy and Moling Mansion opened a lot of temporary inns, barely able to accommodate the Confucian scholars who came from all over the barren state.

At this time, the Governor of Moling Mansion and the owner of Bailongtan Academy are always the happiest, because when Confucian scholars from all over the world come, their prefectures and academies can stimulate a lot of consumption, and the income of the prefecture and the academy will increase dramatically. few.

The Liuyi prefectural competition is not just in the barren state, in fact, the eight prefectural cities of Kyushu and the divine capital Yujing City are also conducting prefectural competitions, which stimulates the sales of Jindan Yipintang Lingdan with strong demand.

The production of panacea in Linshui Villa has been steadily increasing, and all the reserves have been urgently dispatched to major prefectures by airship. However, due to the huge demand for sales, the supply of panacea in all parts of Kyushu has been in short supply.

Jindan Yipintang everywhere had to implement sales restrictions. This time it was not a purchase restriction, but a sales restriction.Jindan Yipintang sets the sales volume every day, and as long as it sells enough, it closes its doors. Many Jindan Yipintangs in state capitals sell out their quota for the day in just one hour every morning, and are forced to close before noon. .After closing, there were still people knocking on the door, which really annoyed the shopkeeper.

There are four branches in Shendu Yujingcheng, and the situation is better. In addition, there are a lot of panaceas that were shipped to Shendu a while ago, so the demand has slowed down. Even so, the closer to the days of Zhoubi, In the Jindan Yipintang branch, there are other panaceas for sale in the morning, but in the afternoon, only the Bigu Pill is sold, and all other panaceas are sold out.

The number of trips between Bailongtan Academy and the major cities in Kyushu has increased tenfold, which makes the officials in charge of the Yunji Flying Department smile, because it means that their tax revenue will increase by more than ten times. Their salaries will also increase, and their political achievements will also increase. It is estimated that at the end of the year, they will be promoted to varying degrees and make a fortune.

To some extent, the development of alchemy in Bailongtan Academy indirectly stimulated the commercial prosperity of the entire Kyushu, such as the alchemy market, the prosperity of business caused by frequent and large commodity transactions, and so on.

On the first day of the twelfth lunar month in the lunar calendar, there has just been a snowfall in Moling Mansion, and there is a vast expanse of whiteness everywhere, and the earth is covered with snow. Overlooking the Bailongtan Academy from a distance, you can see that the pavilions are patchwork, and the roofs of the buildings are all white.In addition to the newly built arena in Nanming Lake, there is an extra layer of floating ice on the lake.

There should be fewer pedestrians in this weather, but Bailongtan Academy is bustling like never before. The first day of this month is the first day of the six art state competitions in Huangzhou. Six books, ninth day numbers, thirteen music, and fifteen she.

The competitions have always been based on this time, and of course there are unexpected circumstances that will be postponed accordingly.

Early in the morning, the bird twittered, and outside the Ming Auditorium, many Confucian teachers and scholars gathered to surround the courtyard outside the Ming Auditorium.During the college competition, it was clear and cold outside the Ming Auditorium. From this point of view, the state competition was obviously more valued than the courtyard competition.

In the school competition, it was just the Confucian students of Bailongtan Academy who competed, but the state competition was different. The elite Confucian students from the thirteenth academies in Huangzhou joined together and competed. Make a comparison.This is a major matter related to the honor of every academy, so no one can treat it carelessly.

When Princess Shouyang arrived with Shangguanyi and a group of guards, everyone saluted, but when they saw Cao Daoyuan, the master of Bailongtan Academy, and the major Confucian masters coming, everyone showed a little hostility.

Princess Shouyang first took a look at the Confucian masters in the courtyard. These Confucian masters were the masters and Confucian masters of the Twelve Academies. They brought the elites of their own academies several days in advance. The host Bailongtan Academy Confucian scholars are undoubtedly the imaginary enemies of all academies.

"Bailongtan Academy, Qindi Academy, Xiangshan Academy, Tianlin Academy, Weihu Academy, Liuye Academy, Qinglian Academy, Five Willow Academy, Qinshan Sword Academy..."

Princess Shouyang counted them one by one, and found that all the people who were supposed to arrive had arrived, so she couldn't help but smiled with satisfaction: "By the order of the sage, this hall supervises this year's barren state six-art competition, selects the six-art seeds for barren state, and then goes to Taizhou The comparison between the academy hall and the selection of elites for the country, I won’t say much about it if it’s superfluous, I only hope that the masters and Confucian teachers can select talents for the country with a fair and just attitude..."

Everyone was awe-inspiring, and everyone bowed in unison. Principal Qin of Qindi Academy was the first to stand up and said: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, selecting talents for the country is a major matter. We will definitely not abolish the public because of personal interests. In the end, the selection of seeds will be conducted in the hall competition, so we naturally have to uphold the public spirit and select Confucian scholars with the highest attainments in the six arts for the barren state, and represent our barren state to go to the Tai Academy for the hall competition. This is a matter of our barren state's face. Naturally, we must be of one heart and one mind, and we will not abolish the public for personal reasons!"

"Master Qin is right, we will naturally uphold the public heart, and will not abolish the public for personal reasons!" The academy masters expressed their opinions one after another.

Only then was Princess Shouyang satisfied, she nodded, raised her hand as a gesture of please, and said with a smile: "Masters and Confucian teachers, please!"

"Don't dare, Your Highness please first!" Everyone said.

Princess Shouyang was not hypocritical, she entered the Ming Hall first, followed by the masters of the Thirteenth Academy, and the rest of the Confucian teachers did not enter the Ming Hall.It turned out that the judges of the state competition this time were only the masters of the Thirteenth Academy, and other Confucian teachers could observe it, and if they were really dissatisfied, they could make suggestions.

"Dangdangdang..."

The first round of bells rang throughout the academy, which was the bell to remind the Confucian scholars to enter the hall. Not long after, 39 Confucian scholars filed in. After entering the Ming Auditorium, they took their seats according to the names on the desks.

There are only 39 seats in the Ming Auditorium, all of which have names on them. There are a total of 39 Confucian scholars who participated in the Ritual Arts Competition, and there are three academies in each of the [-] academies.

Sima Qun, Lu Yang and Cao Fangyuan participated in the state competition in Bailongtan Academy.Lu Yang is a child student, Cao Fangyuan is a student, they are the youngest among all of them, they look like a stinky young man, which is especially eye-catching.

All the contestants participating in the Ritual Art Contest are Xiusheng. Except for Lu Yang and Cao Fangyuan, it seems that the two are a bit out of place, but no one will despise Lu Yang and Cao Fangyuan, because the characters who can compete in Bailongtan Academy, None of them are idlers.

Maybe the level of Confucian scholars participating in the college competitions varies, but there is absolutely no such possibility in the state competitions, and those with low levels are all eliminated.Only those with high level and potential will be selected.

As I said before, ritual is the pillar of the dynasty, the national instrument, the foundation of the country, and cannot be shaken. The first sage who proposed ritual was the fifth Zhouli of the Nine Saints. He wrote the book "Kuang Li" and established the Great Kuang The way of etiquette and law also laid an unshakable foundation for the dynasty.

Because of this, among the six arts, etiquette must be compared first to show the national policy and laws of the country.

Over the years, the scholars of the dynasty have studied the etiquette, prepared etiquette, national laws, and perfected the various laws of the dynasty. If there are students who can come up with some ingenuity and put forward some refreshing expositions, they will definitely win the first prize. All of them are like this.

It's all cliché.

The headmaster of Tianlin Academy glanced at Cao Daoyuan, and said with a sneer: "Brother Cao, is there no scholar in Bailongtan Academy? Why is there only one scholar who is expelled into the Riyi Prefecture Competition?"

Cao Daoyuan waved his hand to fight back: "Naturally, there are quite a few outstanding students in my academy, but there are even more potential students among the children and students. Don't you hear that you have been silent for three years and become a blockbuster?"

"Your Highness, is it time to start?" a headmaster asked for instructions.

Princess Shouyang nodded and said with a smile: "Everyone, be quiet, the competition can begin, and the clock will light the incense!"

"Dangdangdang..." The second round of bells rang, and in the Ming Auditorium, a high incense was lit, and a curl of ruddy white cigarette rose. The whole Ming Auditorium wafted a faint sandalwood fragrance, which could help Confucian scholars calm their minds and souls.

"The Six Arts Contest in the Barren State begins. Confucian scholars are invited to make a discussion. The time limit is two hours!" The presiding Confucian teacher raised his voice and shouted.

shhhhhh...

In the Ming Auditorium, the Confucian scholars began to brush and brush, and the spiritual texts of heaven and earth that flowed like flowing water were written in front of them, and then hung in front of them, flying to the mid-air of the Ming Auditorium lobby, exuding brilliance.

The spiritual text of heaven and earth is condensed by the awe-inspiring righteousness, with various attributes, and fits with the spirit of Confucianism. Observing with spiritual consciousness, you can feel its meaning at a glance, understand its heart, and it is extremely mysterious.
