Daqin Zhentiansi

Chapter 367: In the Banshan Courtyard, the Dean was attacked and killed. I suspect you are a fairy or demon spy.

Zhang Yuan held the jade talisman in his hand, put one hand behind his back, slowly walked up the stone steps and entered the Banshan Courtyard.

These courtyards on Bailu Mountain are not small courtyards. Each courtyard covers an area of ​​hundreds of thousands of acres, including training grounds, pavilions and buildings.

Behind the main gate of Banshanyuan, Meng Shuyao, wearing soft armor and holding a spear, frowned.

She knew what Banshanyuan was like and how difficult it was to control the unruly people there.

That was why she was unwilling to hand over the power of Banshanyuan to Zhang Yuan.

In her opinion, she was doing this for Zhang Yuan's own good.

Bailu Academy is the first of the four major academies and is also the most inclusive. Students, teachers, and worshippers are welcome to study the immortal path, the devil path, the demon clan skills, and the Buddhist heritage without any restrictions.

In comparison, there are many female teachers and students in Xuanji Academy. Although the academic atmosphere is strong on weekdays, they are extremely averse to the ways of immortals and demons.

Jinglun Academy is even more pure. It uses Confucianism to cultivate oneself, dress properly, behave properly, and cultivate one's character. Only by having the best character can one study in the academy for a long time.

The Jinglun Academy was even more similar to the Qin Dynasty's imperial court, selecting elites to conduct academic research.

As for Haoran Academy, it cultivates Haoran Qi, and scholars carry swords. They act decisively and resolutely, and only swordsmanship and Confucianism can survive in the inheritance.

Because of its inclusiveness, Bailu Academy has attracted many immortal and demonic practitioners who admire Confucianism and Taoism.

In particular, many demon cultivators, who wished to temper their minds with the mighty power of Confucianism and Taoism, went to Bailu Mountain to study.

The relationship between Confucianism and Taoism and the forces of immortals and demons on Qingtian Continent has eased slightly, and this is not without reason as all parties value the role that Confucianism and Taoism can play in improving one's state of mind.

Most of the immortals, demons, monsters and Buddhist practitioners on Bailu Mountain are in Banshanyuan.

Normally, the Banshan Courtyard is responsible for collecting information around Bailu Mountain, solving cases, and suppressing evil spirits. The practitioners from various backgrounds in the Banshan Courtyard are better at doing these things.

"Junior Brother Juzheng—"

Meng Shuyao spoke.

Zhang Yuan stepped over the threshold of Banshanyuan and stood on the platform.

He spread out his hand, and in his palm was a jade-colored letter.

A faint power of qi, blood and true essence surged into Ling Xin, and layers of clouds gathered above the entire Banshan Courtyard, covering the courtyard.

Outsiders can no longer see what is happening in Banshan Courtyard.

In the distance, in a hall on the front mountain, Kong Wenyuan, who was sitting upright, frowned, put down the ink pen in his hand, stood up, walked a few steps out, and stopped again.

"Third Junior Sister knows her limits. I hope nothing will happen to the Banshan Courtyard..."

He looked up at the Banshan Courtyard covered by clouds and whispered softly.

On the top of Bailu Mountain, on the jade-white stone platform, Zhuang Moxuan stood with his hands behind his back.

Behind him, the president of the upper house Li Shouren, the instructor Zhang Sicheng and several other masters of the academy were there.

"Mrs. Meng has been hanging out with these servants in the Moving Mountain Courtyard for a long time, and has become a bit rough. It would be a good thing to take the Moving Mountain Courtyard away from her while the Master is out of seclusion this time." A gray-haired old man in a gray robe chuckled.

"Indeed, this will give Zhang Juzheng some experience, letting him know the ins and outs of Bailu Mountain." Zhang Sicheng looked calmly at the Banshan Courtyard, which was shrouded in clouds. "He has a good character, but coming from Yongtianzhou, he might be a bit arrogant."

"After suffering a loss at Banshanyuan this time, I think I should have more respect for Bailu Mountain and Confucianism."

This made the other instructors chuckle and nod.

They were all masters of Confucianism and Taoism. When Zhang Yuan met them, although his words and attitude were respectful, they could feel the pride in his bones.

"Master values ​​Zhang Juzheng and handed over the Banshan and Panshi academies to him. In my opinion, it is a good thing for him to have more setbacks." In front, Zhuang Moxuan turned around and walked towards the main hall.

"If he sends a message for help, you instructors can wait a little longer before going to calm him down."

"Although Shuyao acts a bit rashly, she still knows the importance of things and won't let Zhang Juzheng get hurt too badly."

……

In the thatched cottage in the back mountain, Master Chen, who was painting, paused for a moment with his brush.

At this moment, he couldn't even sense the scene in the Banshan Courtyard.

"This kid has some backbone."

"After all, he came from the Yongtianzhou army, so he has courage."

"It's great to be young..."

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

Moving Mountain Courtyard.

When the Jade Order sealed and isolated the heaven and earth, many people frowned.

"Boy, don't use the jade order to pressure others. Everyone in Bailu Mountain knows that Banshan Courtyard is not subject to the control of that order." The Taoist who spoke had a faint gleam in his eyes, and a green fairy aura lingered on his body.

"I heard that you practiced martial arts. Why, do you want to solve it the way of a warrior?" A big man in a gray martial robe smiled, clenched his fists lightly, and moved his neck a few times, "I can play with you." On the square, everyone was eager to try.

"Junior brother, Banshanyuan is different from other places. I have been in charge of this place, but I have never relied on power to oppress others. Instead, I have made sincere friends with all the priests in Banshanyuan." Although Meng Shuyao was a little dissatisfied with Zhang Yuan for directly taking out the jade order and banning Banshanyuan, she still spoke patiently.

After all, Zhang Yuan came here on orders, and if a conflict really occurred, it would also damage the reputation of the academy.

She probably understood that the Master's coming out of seclusion had greatly boosted Bailu Mountain's prestige, and she wanted to take this opportunity to bring order to the entire mountain.

But in Meng Shuyao's eyes, Zhang Yuan is not qualified to be in charge of Banshanyuan.

"I never thought of using my power to oppress others."

Zhang Yuan put one hand behind his back and slowly walked down the stone steps to the square, and the voice rang out.

"I, Zhang, have always acted with virtue to win people over."

Zhang Yuan's voice was calm, like the still water in a well.

He walked forward, each step was two feet and eight points, and the moment his toes touched the ground, he took the second step.

"There are nine Grandmasters serving in the Banshan Courtyard, and a total of 894 people at other levels. 635 are in the courtyard today."

"I, Mr. Zhang, was entrusted by the Master to take charge of the two courtyards of Panshi Banshan and be responsible for the safety of Bailu Mountain."

"The cultivation traditions in Banshan Court are mixed," Zhang Yuan looked up and said calmly, "We should investigate them one by one before we can feel at ease."

Is Banshanyuan's heritage mixed?
Zhang Yuan's words made everyone in front of him look gloomy!
Meng Shuyao's expression instantly darkened.

She spent so much effort to stabilize the Banshan Courtyard and calm the hearts of the masters who gathered from all sides.

Zhang Yuan's words were enough to destroy the morale of the people in Banshanyuan!

"Insanity!"

The black-robed scholar standing beside Meng Shuyao let out a low shout, took a step forward, and a mighty force surged between his hands.

He moved quickly, but the big man in martial arts robes on the other side moved even faster. He flew up and flew three feet, punching Zhang Yuan in the chest.

Meng Shuyao is in charge of Banshan Academy. How could she not have confidants around her? How could she not have people planted in the academy?

Those who took action at this time were all real people from the academy. They wanted to capture Zhang Yuan as soon as possible to stabilize the hearts of everyone in the square.

"Om-"

The wind is already moving before the fist arrives.

The howling gale was like thunder in the sky.

The punch that hit Zhang Yuan's chest had the power of wind and thunder!
Zhang Yuan raised his head slightly, as if he had not expected anyone to punch him at all. He did not move his body, allowing the punch to hit his chest.

"Be careful..." Meng Shuyao whispered.

The person who attacked was Zuo Teng, a mid-stage innate martial arts expert from the Banshan Academy. His attack was so powerful that even a Confucian and Taoist practitioner without the protection of Gangsha could not withstand it unless he was a Grandmaster.

Seeing that Zhang Yuan couldn't even dodge or block, Meng Shuyao sighed in her heart.

The others showed a smile on their faces.

Cultivate both Confucianism and martial arts?

Young hero?

Taught by the Master himself?

In this Banshan Courtyard, who recognizes you——

"Oh!"

Zuo Teng punched Zhang Yuan in the chest.

But Zhang Yuan didn't move at all.

This scene left everyone stunned.

As he stepped onto the ground, Zuo Teng looked at Zhang Yuan in front of him, his eyes filled with confusion and daze.

He knew the weight of his punch. Even a piece of bluestone would have exploded and shattered...

"You attacked and killed the dean in Banshan Courtyard. I suspect you are a spy of immortals or demons." Zhang Yuan's voice sounded.

As the voice fell, he raised his palm and slowly tapped Zuo Teng's brow with his finger.

From beginning to end, Zuo Teng's body seemed to be imprisoned, unable to utter a word or move at all.

"He, he wants to search my soul—"

There was a cry of surprise from the square!
