Chapter 345 Qingtianzhou, Four Academies
"You mean, the four major academies are in Qingtianzhou?"

In the small courtyard, Zhang Yuan looked at Huang Laoliu with a look of surprise on his face.

He knew that the four academies that the eldest prince asked him to visit must be extraordinary places.

But he didn't expect that the four major academies were actually in Qingtianzhou outside Yongtianzhou.

Huang Laoliu was born in Jiuduanmen, a sect of immortals, whose mountain gate was on Yangtianzhou, where the immortals were thriving.

However, Huang Laoliu is a weapon refiner who has traveled extensively and has even been to Qingtianzhou.

"Qingtianzhou is a turbulent place where all parties are fighting each other. Not only Confucianism and Taoism, but even the Great Qin has many forces remaining there."

"In fact, in the land of Jiuzhou, how many people are loyal to the Great Qin, and how many people are already the people of the Great Qin, it is impossible to tell."

Huang Laoliu shook his head and whispered, "It all depends on whether the Great Qin can one day step out of the Northern Great Wall."

If the Qin Dynasty can step out of the Great Wall in the north, then the former Qin people may be able to return to the control of the Qin Dynasty. If the Qin Dynasty can no longer leave Yongtian Continent, then the Qin people on other continents will have nothing to do with the Qin Dynasty.

Huang Laoliu was unwilling to say more about these things, but turned around to explain the things happening on Qingtian Island to Zhang Yuan.

Qingtianzhou was the last lost continent, where various forces gathered, including the remnants of the Qin Dynasty, as well as immortals, demons, monsters and Buddhas.

The reason why the remnants of the Qin Dynasty were able to hold on was because of the four major academies.

Yunlu Academy, Xuanji Academy, Jinglun Academy, Haoran Academy.

The four major academies control an area of ​​tens of millions of miles with the power of Confucianism and Taoism, and fight against immortals, demons, Buddhas and monsters, and the power of the Tao is not inferior in any way.

"Master Chen of Yunlu Academy values ​​both Confucianism and Taoism, and takes books as his foundation. It is said that he has already entered the realm of Confucian and Taoist immortals, and is a rare free and unrestrained earthly immortal in the world."

"Kong Lingjun of Xuanji Academy cultivated writing to convey the truth, using words to transform the spirit, revealing images and transforming the truth. Every word is a pearl and can become a law."

"Dong Zhongshu of Jinglun Academy, who is in tune with the heaven and man, and whose great Dao lasts forever, once defeated thirteen immortals in the Golden Core Realm in a single battle, and the power of the Heavenly Dao moved at will."

"Meng Ke of Haoran Academy, with a breath of Haoran Qi, condenses the righteousness of heaven and earth, destroys mountains and collapses peaks, and his fighting power is overwhelming."

Huang Laoliu seldom talked about things outside Yongtianzhou. It was not until this moment when he talked about the four major academies on Qingtianzhou that his eyes were full of spirit and his words were full of emotion.

In addition to the principals, the four major academies also have many famous scholars serving as instructors, combining both civil and military skills to safeguard the remaining foundation of the Qin Dynasty in Qingtianzhou.

"Although the four major academies are powerful, there are also many powerful enemies from outside the domain." Huang Laoliu sighed.

The Buddhist Leiyin Temple controls 30 million miles of mountains and rivers.

The Netherworld Demon Sect has infected an area of ​​80 million miles with demonic energy.

The Qingyun Immortal Sect is famous for its thunder magic and swordsmanship. With its magic, powerful swordsmen are as numerous as carp crossing the river...

As for the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, the Nine Nether Demon King once became a teacher at Xuanji Academy. It is said that the principal of Xuanji Academy once suffered a great loss at his hands.

Qingtianzhou is the world that belongs to practitioners.

Unlike Yongtianzhou, where the laws of the Qin Dynasty are obeyed and the rules of the martial arts world and the court are clearly defined, the rules of Qingtianzhou are all set by the major sects.

Even the four major academies that guarded the remaining Qin territory held absolute power instead of relying on the government court.

"Qingtianzhou..." Zhang Yuan whispered softly, with a faint light flashing in his eyes.

The continents outside Yongtianzhou may really have different wonders.

The eldest prince asked him to go to Qingtianzhou, perhaps he really wanted him to see how brilliant the world is outside of Daqin and the Great Wall in the north.

That place was once the homeland of the Qin Dynasty.

----------------

In the study, Zhang Yuan began to organize the books and various calligraphy and painting scrolls on the bookshelf.

Since you are going to study, you can bring some books with you.

A scroll slowly unfolded in front of him.

Spring Mountain Picture.

It is not an imitation of his painting, but Wang Mengxi's original work "Spring Mountain Painting".

Zhang Yuan had previously given this painting to Zhao Yu, and Zhao Yu returned it to Zhang Yuan when he went to the imperial city.

According to her, this painting is so valuable, it would be safer to leave it with Zhang Yuan.

The scroll unfolded and Zhang Yuan's eyes fell on it.

The mountains are high and the water is long, the trees are lush, the water is gurgling, and the blue clouds are distant.

The leisure and ease in this painting makes people feel calm.

Zhang Yuan's calligraphy and painting originated from this painting of spring mountains.

Looking at him again at this moment, the expression on his face gradually became serious.

He has painted this picture hundreds of times and can be said to know every tree by heart.

But in his eyes at this moment, this Spring Mountain Picture seemed to have a different scene.

His spiritual power converged, transforming into a faint green light that condensed in his eyes. Outside the Prajna Zen Temple in Liangyuan Domain, Zhang Yuan once briefly raised his spiritual power to the level of a Free and Easy Grandmaster by commanding a military formation.

Although his spiritual power had returned to the level of a divine statue after a while, the subtle sense of control that belonged to the free and easy level was still there.

This allowed Zhang Yuan to use his Dragon Elephant Grandmaster soul to perceive things a hundred times more delicately than those at the same level.

This is why he discovered the abnormality of the Spring Mountain Painting.

"boom--"

As his spiritual power was infused, the scroll in front of him exploded like a cloud.

In an instant, mountain flowers bloomed outside him, birds sang, and flowing water and green willows complemented each other.

Spring mountain.

Not a picture.

"Hey, after all these years, someone is actually able to enter my Spring Mountain Painting?"

A voice sounded not far away.

On the river bank, an old man holding a fishing rod and a bamboo stick looked up with a smile on his face.

"Wang Mengxi!"

Zhang Yuan let out a low cry.

The old man in front of him, who was about fifty years old and had a clear face, wasn't he the same person who looked like the portrait of Wang Mengxi that he had seen at Zuoqiu Ren's place?

Hearing Zhang Yuan's voice, the old man laughed heartily, swung the fishing rod in his hand, and a big blue-black fish was caught out of the river.

"Come on, it's a rare occasion for you to come to my house for a drink."

……

The path is winding, with green rice seedlings in the paddy fields, red flowers blooming on the mountain, and a thatched cottage, although mottled, is neatly arranged.

In the small courtyard, a beautiful woman in green cloth looked up, her face full of surprise.

"My husband, there's a visitor!"

Zhang Yuan looked at the lady, and saw a green butterfly shadow above her eyebrows.

Immortal Butterfly Clan.

"Xiaodie, dig out a jar of my Peach Blossom Wine and this fish. We need to braise them."

"My Xiaodie's cooking skills, hehe, are unmatched by even the best chefs in the city."

Wang Mengxi sat down next to the small wooden table and spoke proudly.

Zhang Yuan looked around, curiosity evident on his face.

"Mr. Mengxi, why is this painting so real?"

Hearing his words, Wang Mengxi smiled and waved his hand.

"Since you are practicing the Dao of painting, and can use your spirit to enter my paintings, it means that you have already entered the Dao."

"Moreover, your spiritual power has reached the profound level."

Wang Mengxi handed a cup of tea to Zhang Yuan and said softly, "Dongxuan Dongxuan, it is a cave heaven in itself. It manifests the laws of heaven and earth outside and transforms into a cave heaven and blessed land inside. I am just transforming the great way into a piece of heaven and earth."

"Nothing."

Nothing.

This is not modesty, but pride.

How many people in the world can use the art of painting to evolve into a paradise?
"The younger generation who are able to enter the Dao through painting all started with Mr.'s painting of Spring Mountains."

Zhang Yuan straightened his clothes and bowed to Wang Mengxi.

"Sir, I will pay my respects to you, your disciple."

Not to mention that Zhang Yuan learned the art of painting from Wang Mengxi's scrolls, Wang Mengxi's ability to use the scrolls as a haven for enlightenment alone is worthy of Zhang Yuan's respect.

Wang Mengxi accepted the gift calmly, with a hint of emotion on his face.

"I thought no one could inherit my way..."

Shaking his head slightly, he looked at Zhang Yuan.

"Come, let me see how far you have progressed in the art of painting."

As the voice fell, the writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, as well as the blank scroll, floated down from the wooden table.

Words are spoken, laws follow.
