"Chichi implemented 'Nine-year Compulsory Education'. Ordinary children need to go to primary school for six years and middle school for three years."

“After completing compulsory education and three years of secondary school, you are eligible to enter university.”

“Getting into university and studying there is the ultimate dream of every student.”

"Once you graduate from university, you can take on many positions, such as being an official or a Taoist priest..."

These words were new and shocking to the seekers of truth from the Tang Dynasty.

"Compulsory education? The so-called obligation, does it mean..."

Sun Simiao looked shocked.

"Yes, the obligation is a national obligation. All Chechi children do not need to pay any fees for nine years of schooling. It is borne by the Chechi government."

The young Taoist priest explained these systems as a matter of course.

However, this was a great shock to those Tang Dynasty seekers of truth.

"Everyone can have enough food to eat, everyone can read..."

Among them, Sun Simiao, who had traveled in the Tang Dynasty for decades, felt it more deeply. He took a deep breath and sighed: "This car is late. Is it really a paradise on earth?"

Li Chunfeng was also surprised. As an official in the court, he was more sensitive to such things and he also understood what this meant.

"In the midst of the delay, the wealth is astonishing."

"However, this policy is possible only because Chechi has a small population."

Li Chunfeng thought so.

"We have a large population in Chechi, and it is developing rapidly." A young Taoist priest replied, "Twenty years ago, the population of Chechi was only several million, not even ten million."

"Today, the population of Chechi has expanded many times, reaching tens of millions, and the territory is gradually expanding."

Medicine King Sun Simiao asked: "With so many newborns and such rapid development, how can Chechi keep up with all the construction?"

"Why are there so many teachers in the school?"

"If the people are sick, why are there so many doctors?"

The King of Medicine Sun Simiao considered the reality and asked these most fundamental questions.

The young Taoist priest seemed calm in the face of everyone's questions, and he answered every question carefully.

"More than ten years ago, the Grand Master had already preached in Chechi State, opening the door of wisdom for the people. After that, the King of Chechi State realized its importance and began to cultivate talents." The young Taoist priest said slowly, "The other three Grand Masters have also been committed to cultivating Taoists who are proficient in medical skills. The Grand Master even personally compiled a 'Health Manual' and founded a special health school."

"Not only that..." The young Taoist was interrupted by the scene before he finished speaking. Five hundred imprisoned monks were busy carrying cement, while the seekers of Taoism from the Tang Dynasty were immersed in the current situation of Chechi State described by the young Taoist.

After the young Taoist priest finished speaking, everyone sighed with emotion. Li Chunfeng keenly noticed something and asked, "You two young Taoist friends are so knowledgeable, I guess you must be of extraordinary status, right?"

The two young Taoist priests smiled at each other and answered modestly: "In Chechi Country, the university had just been established and we were the first batch of college students. We had listened to lectures from several national masters and respected them as our teachers."

Li Chunfeng was shocked when he heard this. He did not expect that these two young Taoist priests had such identities. The young Taoist priests continued, "We are not good at studying. After graduation, we were unable to enter Jiuji Mountain for further study, nor were we able to work in other departments. We can only guard the imprisoned monks here."

Although the young Taoist priests were so modest, Li Chunfeng did not dare to underestimate them. Through his conversation with the young Taoist priests, he gained a preliminary understanding of the education system of Chechi State.

Although this system has only been perfected recently, those who can graduate from university are undoubtedly extremely valuable and can be called all-rounders.

College students have absorbed almost all the latest knowledge and can be called the chosen ones of heaven. The two young Taoist priests in front of them are the first batch of college students and have listened to lectures from several national masters.

"No wonder you two are so eloquent and know so much about the affairs of Chechi State. It turns out you are college students." Li Chunfeng said with emotion.

Others in the team also nodded in agreement, including the Medicine King Sun Simiao. He had just taken the time to discuss medical topics with a young Taoist priest and found that the medical concepts here had a lot in common with his, but there were many more that he had never thought of.

After this conversation, Sun Simiao felt that this journey would yield great results.

After talking with the two young Taoist priests, a group of seekers from the Tang Dynasty were full of anticipation for what was to come.

"Junior brother, you lead the Taoist priests into the city and settle them there, and then report for registration." The two young Taoist priests had a clear division of labor.

Soon after, this group of seekers from the Tang Dynasty entered the city. As soon as they entered the city, they were attracted by the scene before them.

The streets were bright and clean, with carts passing back and forth and vendors shouting their wares in unison.

The most important thing is that as this group of Taoists walked among the people, they received many warm greetings from the common people, and each of them appeared to be very respectful.

"It is worthy of being the Chechi Kingdom, a place that respects Taoism and despises Buddhism. The status of Taoists here is so high." Yin Xi, the founder of Louguan Taoism, couldn't help but sigh.

"The Taoists in Chechi Country are different from those outside." The young Taoist priest who led the way smiled and said, "If they are local Taoists, they will be more respected in Chechi Country. Because those who can enter Taoism in Chechi Country must have extraordinary qualities."

As they walked, they saw vendors on both sides shouting their wares.

"Baked potatoes! Delicious baked potatoes!" A commoner pushed a cart around a stove, and sweet potatoes were placed next to the stove, emitting an enticing aroma.

"It smells so good, is this the Taoist potato?" The Taoists were all very curious, some of them had their noses twitching, and their appetites were aroused.

"Yes, this is the Taoist potato. It can produce a thousand kilograms or even more per mu in the field. It was the main food of the Chechi Kingdom in the early days." The young Taoist priest who led the way explained and invited everyone to taste it, saying that he could treat them.

Sun Simiao walked forward and couldn't resist his curiosity, so he wanted to try it.

"Okay, Taoist priest, be careful not to get burned." The vendor picked out a sweet potato skillfully, wrapped it in newspaper and handed it to Sun Simiao. "This sweet potato is grown in the sandy land beside the Liusha River. It is also known as 'honey potato'. It is so sweet that it's like honey!"

Sun Simiao took the sweet potato, but did not eat it immediately because he saw that the sweet potato was wrapped in a layer of newspaper.

"What is this?" Sun Simiao asked excitedly. He saw neatly printed words in the newspaper.

"Well, it's a newspaper." The vendor explained casually, "Newspaper is a piece of paper for notifications. It prints some things and can be read by people."

Sun Simiao was holding the sweet potato wrapped in newspaper, and he felt incredible. He knew that "paper" also existed in the Tang Dynasty, but paper in the Tang Dynasty was very expensive, and only the nobles could afford it. But here, a random vendor wrapped the food he sold in paper. The concept of newspaper made Sun Simiao feel even more incredible, and he thought of many things in an instant.

"This..." Sun Simiao was shocked, and Li Chunfeng and others were also extremely surprised.

"And we also have the art of printing, which allows Chechi to print a lot of books and newspapers like this." The Taoist priest who led the way explained with a smile, "Our Chechi country has had very good papermaking technology for a long time, and now every household can use paper. But not all the newspapers printed are sold out, so some expired cheap newspapers are bought by these vendors for use."

Soon, each of these Tang Dynasty seekers had a roasted sweet potato in his hand. When they tasted the sweet potato, their eyes lit up.

"So sweet!" There was thick juice dripping from the roasted sweet potatoes, which was all sugar.

"It's really a magical thing. It's so delicious." After a roasted sweet potato fell into their stomachs, they all felt a little unsatisfied.

"No need to say more, there are other delicious foods in Chechi National Middle School." The little Taoist priest who led the way said with a smile.

Soon, the young Taoist priest took them to taste the corn now called "Daomi" and the potatoes called "Daodou". After this, the seekers of Taoism in the Tang Dynasty were greatly enlightened.

In addition to food, they also found many details that shocked them. For example, the cleanliness of the streets, the politeness of the people, the business methods of the vendors, etc. These made them feel the difference between Chechi Kingdom and the Tang Dynasty. Finally, they were arranged to stay in a Taoist temple. At this time, Li Chunfeng couldn't help asking: "I wonder if we can meet a few state masters?"

"If you want to see the Imperial Masters, you have to go to the Imperial City." The young Taoist priest replied, "The Imperial Masters should be in the Imperial City right now. I was discussing Taoism with the monk from the Tang Dynasty these past two days. I heard that even the Grand Imperial Master has come out of the mountains."

Upon hearing this, all the Taoists could not sit still and wanted to go to Chechi Imperial City immediately.

On the border of Chechi Country, there is a desolate land with many broken stones scattered on the ground. Originally there was a rugged mountain here, but now it no longer exists. This is because it was destroyed by the battle between Sun Wukong and Lin Nan.

The battle between the two lasted for a whole day and night. Sun Wukong used all his methods while Lin Nan was just "testing the methods". He tried all his methods and magical powers one by one. Sun Wukong had an indestructible body and was a perfect target.

Therefore, after this round of trials, Lin Nan did not hesitate to use all his methods and magic skills. But after Lin Nan tried all his magic skills, the battle was over. Sun Wukong was defeated.

"Yes, I lost." The golden cudgel in Sun Wukong's hand was no longer raised but slightly lowered, which also represented Sun Wukong's mood at the moment. He lost at this moment and lost with conviction.

In the end, Sun Wukong tried his best, but he was still helpless against Lin Nan.

Lin Nan, on the other hand, played the role of Sun Wukong just right.

"In this fight, I lost." Sun Wukong was quite calm. Losing was losing, and he didn't make any excuses.

"Just admit defeat." Lin Nan just nodded slightly. He was not surprised by this result.

"Big Brother..." Zhu Bajie looked at the returning Sun Wukong and wanted to complain a few words, but when he saw Sun Wukong's gloomy face, he swallowed his words back.

In the end, he just consoled her, "It's a loss, so be it. The name of the Chechi Daoist Master is indeed well-deserved."

However, this sentence touched Sun Wukong's back. He raised his eyes and said, "Is my title of 'The Great Sage Equaling Heaven' just a lie?"

"No, no." Zhu Bajie quickly denied, "Brother Monkey, you are worthy of the title of Great Sage Equaling Heaven, but this Grand Master Che Chi is just more accomplished."

Although Zhu Bajie's words were meant to comfort Sun Wukong, they made him even angrier, but he could do nothing about it.

On the other side, Tiger Power Immortal, Sheep Power Immortal, Deer Power Immortal and Lu Dao Ren all came forward to express their feelings. They were not surprised by Lin Nan's victory, after all, they knew Lin Nan's strength very well.

The six-eared macaque took a step forward and snorted, "Sun Wukong really humiliated himself by challenging the master."

Liu Er Mihou had long been convinced by Lin Nan. Before he became Lin Nan's disciple, he had thought about challenging Lin Nan. But after being influenced by Lin Nan, he was completely devoted to Lin Nan and was loyal to him.

Therefore, he was particularly protective of his master, and naturally disliked Sun Wukong who dared to challenge Lin Nan.

"It's not a wasted effort this time." Lin Nan looked down at the destruction caused by the battle. The barren mountains were shattered. He nodded, then led everyone back to Chechi.

Several immortals and furnace masters followed closely behind.

Soon, they returned to Chechi Palace.

The battle between Lin Nan and Sun Wukong lasted for a whole day.

During this time, the crowds that had gathered in Chechi Imperial City had long since dispersed, leaving only Tang Sanzang and Sha Seng in the palace. Although they were “left behind,” it was actually a disguised form of house arrest.

If Lin Nan had not made prior warning, this holy monk from the Tang Dynasty might have been forced to move cement.

When Lin Nan and others returned, they saw King Chechi and Tang Sanzang waiting for them.

"My dear imperial masters, what was the result of the battle?" As soon as he saw them, King Chechi stepped forward and asked with concern.

"With the great master taking action, it will be easy to capture the enemy." Huli Daxian and others laughed.

Hearing this, King Chechi also laughed a few times and seemed very happy.

"It seems that the former Monkey King is not as powerful as the Grand Master of Chechi!" King Chechi and all his ministers felt honored.

Over there, Tang Sanzang pulled Sun Wukong over and asked, "Wukong, you lost?"

"Yes." Sun Wukong nodded.

Tang Sanzang immediately sighed, "If this is the case, we will not be able to save the five hundred imprisoned monks."

Sun Wukong also sighed, but there was nothing he could do.

Compared to rescuing the five hundred imprisoned monks, he cared more about his own failure.

However, seeing Tang Sanzang's self-blaming expression, Sun Wukong comforted him: "Master, don't blame yourself. When we return from the West, we can also rescue the five hundred imprisoned monks."

"Besides, those five hundred imprisoned monks are protected by the power of Jia Lan. Even if they move cement every day, their real bodies will not be damaged."

Sun Wukong found an excuse and said, "This may not be a bad thing. It is also a form of practice."

"Hmm..." After hearing this, Tang Sanzang also felt that there was some truth in it.

So he put his hands together, chanted Amitabha and said, "Amitabha, this is the only way."

"They are blessed by the Buddha. We will go to the West to obtain the scriptures and rescue them when we return."

Thinking of this, Tang Sanzang no longer blamed himself and no longer cared about the five hundred imprisoned monks.

"Luckily, the Grand Master was willing to stamp our customs clearance documents, otherwise it would be difficult for us to leave Chechi."

After releasing the five hundred imprisoned monks, Tang Sanzang and his disciples immediately decided to leave Chechi as soon as possible.

Lin Nan stayed in the palace, still trying to understand Che Chi's recent changes.

Suddenly, a eunuch came to report.

"Your Majesty, there is a group of Taoist priests from the Tang Dynasty outside who want to see Your Majesty and several imperial masters."

"Huh? Another Taoist from the Tang Dynasty? " King Chechi asked in surprise, "Have you made it clear? Is he really a Taoist from the Tang Dynasty?"

"There is absolutely no mistake." The Huangmen official said, "A group of Taoists, with different appearances, some of them are..."

As he spoke, the eunuch described the appearance of these Taoists and said, "They claim that they came from the Tang Dynasty to seek the Tao."

"Seeking the truth..." King Chechi pondered for a moment and looked at several national masters.

"I wonder what the Grand Master thinks about this?" The king asked Lin Nan for his opinion.

After listening to the description of the eunuch, Lin Nan made some calculations and vaguely knew the origins of those Taoists.

At this time, he was also quite interested and said: "I do know their origins. They are indeed Taoists in the Tang Dynasty. Your Majesty can invite them into the palace."

As his identity changed, Lin Nan's self-proclaimed name also changed. (End of this chapter)
