Chapter 358: Hundred Schools of Thought

"The Hundred Schools?"

Shen Yuan frowned slightly, not much touched by the words of the groom.

Some of his knowledge of Luotian Realm came from Ji Zhaoyang, the third prince of Dayin, but most of it was just the origin of Luotian Realm and the existence of Dao Yun, and there was very little information about the internal information of Luotian Realm.

In this case, Shen Yuan naturally did not understand what the Hundred Schools represented.

Glancing at this tattered carriage, Shen Yuan felt that this Hundred Schools did not even have a decent carriage, and was probably just an ordinary character.

"But being able to bring in an identity directly, rather than being an outsider without an identity, seems to be a good start."

Ji Zhaoyang once mentioned that in a Luotian Dharma Assembly in history, a major force had exposed the identity of an outsider in Luotian Realm and told the creatures of Luotian Realm that they were all transformed by the teachings of the Supreme Dao Ancestor.

This move eventually led to the creatures of that major force being killed by the Luotian Realm strongmen as invaders, and the other forces were eliminated early.

Because it involved so many people, some of the news was successfully passed down, which gradually formed a taboo in the Luotian Dharma Assembly of all realms, that is, do not reveal your true identity in front of the natives of Luotian Realm.

Almost all practitioners will try to hide their identities after entering Luotian Realm. It seems that this is the first time to hear of someone like Shen Yuan who has his own identity.

"Maybe such a change is related to my personal entry into the place where the Supreme Taoist Ancestor preaches?"

However, for the moment, Shen Yuan still knows too little about Luotian Realm and the Supreme Taoist preaching, so he can only make such a guess temporarily.

While thinking in his heart, the driver driving outside continued:

"Although our lineage has declined, it has been passed down to the present, and only you, sir, have retained the title of the Hundred Schools.

But you, sir, have the method of entering the dream of thousands of years, and you are well-versed in the world and ancient and modern times. Even among the scholars of all generations, you are also in the forefront. You will definitely shine at the discussion ceremony and lead our lineage to the peak again."

At this point, the driver looked at Shen Yuan with respect.

Shen Yuan's expression slightly changed. This was the second time the driver mentioned the method of entering a thousand years of dreams.

After listening to the driver's words, Shen Yuan had a general idea of ​​this method of entering a thousand years of dreams.

This seemed to be a great magical method of experiencing different time and space in dreams. Since long-term dreaming would have a certain impact on consciousness and cause memory loss, this was why the driver did not doubt Shen Yuan's identity.

Shen Yuan naturally did not master the method of entering a thousand years of dreams, but with the convenience brought by the sequelae of this method, Shen Yuan could ask the driver about Luotian Realm and Jixia Academy without hesitation.

"What are these Jixia Academy and the Dao Discussion Ceremony?"

The driver had no doubt about Shen Yuan's question and quickly explained:

"Jixia Academy was the first academy built by Qi State. Later, the Zhou Emperor ordered that Jixia Academy be independent and not be influenced by Qi State.

Since then, Jixia Academy has ushered in a booming development. One by one, the scholars of the Hundred Schools of Thought walked out of Jixia Academy and began to spread the school of thought to the entire Luotian Realm.

Human beings use the school of thought as the foundation to explore the great way of heaven and earth, thus ushering in a great era of prosperity of humanity.

And the scholars of the Hundred Schools of Thought were also treated as guests of honor by the major kingdoms."

"There are many schools of thought, and conflicts between academic thoughts, worldly influences, and school forces are inevitable. Therefore, some scholars proposed that a grand ceremony of discussing the Dao could be held in the Jixia Academy every once in a while.

The grand ceremony of discussing the Dao can spread new academic thoughts and the truth of the Dao, and can also resolve conflicts between the hundreds of schools of thought through discussing the Dao.

This proposal was recognized by the hundreds of schools of thought and was eventually promoted. Over time, it became a grand event that was famous throughout the Luotian Realm."

As the driver narrated, Shen Yuan finally had a basic understanding of the Luotian Realm, the so-called hundreds of schools of thought, and the Jixia Academy.

However, in Shen Yuan's eyes, no matter how great the influence of the hundreds of schools of thought was, they were ultimately just some academic factions that could not grasp the power, and they should have their limitations.

It was reasonable that the status of a downtrodden one of the hundreds of schools of thought was neither high nor low.

"Since that's the case, let's maintain this character of a downtrodden scholar and go to the Jixia Academy to find out.

At that time, we can also use the influence of the Jixia Academy to confirm Ji Zhaoyang's location and provide him with shelter."

With his mind made up, Shen Yuan also took this opportunity to continue asking the driver for some basic information.

The old carriage drove on the bumpy road, gradually approaching the magnificent city at the end of the plain.

...

Linzi City, the huge city wall is like an endless mountain range towering into the clouds, its momentum covers the sky and the sun, it is no longer something that can be built by human power.

And outside Linzi City, Ji Zhaoyang and others, who have changed into the scholar's clothes, are hidden in the crowd, and the team is like a long dragon stretching for several miles.

Among the people in the queue, many people are dressed like scholars, quite similar to Ji Zhaoyang and others.

These are some tricks that Ji Zhaoyang and others have learned these days.

In this Luotian Realm, in addition to ordinary people who stay in a certain place and work hard all their lives, the most common are scholars.

These scholars traveled to various countries to study, and visited famous mountains and rivers, and Taoist temples and academies.

Because the Tao is everywhere in Luotian Realm, these scholars will receive feedback from the Tao in the process of understanding this world, and their own strength is quite extraordinary.

A very small number of wandering scholars can even reach the state of refining gods and even returning to the void.

However, wandering scholars often have empty realms, without corresponding attack methods, magical powers and secret methods, and their strength is far inferior to that of many monks in the Xuanhuang Realm.

But the number of traveling scholars could not be resisted, and they were favored by heaven.

The remarks made by Ji Zhaoyang and others who had just come down from the mountain were fashionable and could fool the old punters, but they were completely useless when faced with the truly knowledgeable traveling scholars.

When they approached a big city for the first time two days ago, Ji Zhaoyang and others were identified by the wandering scholar, and were chased by the Qi army.

Ji Zhaoyang and others spent a lot of effort to escape the pursuit, and disguised themselves as traveling scholars through some information they found.

This move solved a lot of troubles for these people in their subsequent actions. Whether it was local people, city officials, or other traveling scholars, they were all treated with great courtesy.

Because in the eyes of wandering scholars, their ability to reach the state of refining gods and returning to the void means that they have reached an extremely high state in a certain way.

In Luotian Realm, those who understand the Dao have strength and status that surpass ordinary people, and are naturally respected.

However, such courtesy gradually disappeared after approaching Linzi, the capital of Qi State.

There is no other reason than that there are too many such traveling scholars in Linzi City.

As the place where Jixia Academy is located, Linzi City is full of traveling scholars like Ji Zhaoyang and others.

Especially as the Taoism Ceremony of Jixia Academy begins, almost all the knowledgeable people in Luotian Realm are rushing to Linzi.

In the long queue that stretched for several miles outside Linzi City, 80% of them were traveling scholars. The state of refining gods and returning to emptiness was not uncommon here.

These real people and great real people who are enough to hold a position in the Xuanhuang Realm and are respected by millions of people can only queue up in a long line respectfully, waiting for the inspection of the city guards before entering the city.

"Is this the realm opened up by the Taishang's mantra?

The crowd of seekers can hardly find a realm that rivals it even if they search all over the heavens. "

A person named Huanxu Daren sent a voice through his spiritual consciousness and sighed quietly among Ji Zhaoyang and the others.

These words were immediately recognized by everyone, and even Ji Zhaoyang couldn't help but sigh:

"The Xuanhuang Realm may be vaster than the Luotian Realm, but even if we search the entire Xuanhuang Realm, we probably won't be able to find so many Huanxuda Zhenren in Linzi City.

In addition, what is even more awe-inspiring is that these powerful traveling scholars are actually only at the bottom of the system of hundreds of schools of thought. "

"Only after traveling to various countries and passing the test, the traveling scholars are qualified to join Jixia Academy and become Jixia scholars.

Only the most outstanding scholars from Jixia can join hundreds of schools of thought and become members of hundreds of schools. "

Thinking of this, Ji Zhaoyang was slightly shaken.

In the past few days, Ji Zhaoyang had heard a lot of news with the help of his status as a traveling scholar.

The ways that scholars understand and practice are different, but there is one thing that all scholars agree on, which is to join hundreds of schools of thought and become scholars of hundreds of schools. This is what almost all scholars agree on. lifelong goal.

In this world that contains thousands of avenues, knowledge and enlightenment represent almost everything.

The more knowledge you know, the stronger you are.

"If the traveling scholar is so powerful, then what kind of person are the scholars from hundreds of schools of thought?"

"If you can become a scholar of hundreds of schools, you will definitely receive gifts from the great road of heaven and earth, and you will be worthy of the Luotian Dharma Association of all realms."

Just when Ji Zhaoyang and others were sighing, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in their ears.

"Third Emperor Brother, long time no see!"

Ji Zhaoyang was suddenly startled. He quickly looked around and saw Ji Xuanyi in the uniform of a scholar, a few hundred meters behind him, looking at him with a smile.

Behind Ji Xuanyi, all the masters and great masters also gathered here, but these are not the point.

The real point is that a tall figure with a majestic face standing in front of Ji Xuanyi is clearly the Lord of Lianxu.

"Xinyang Hou Zhao Yuan!"

Ji Zhaoyang was shocked and recognized the identity of Lord Lianxu at a glance.

This person is the current patriarch of Ji Xuanyi's mother clan, the Xinyang Zhao family, and is also Ji Xuanyi's biological uncle. However, in the eyes of the outside world, Xinyang Marquis Zhao Yuan is just a great master at the peak of the Huanxu Realm.

Ji Zhaoyang finally understood why Ji Xuanyi was able to invite a real Lord Lianxu who concealed his identity when he was at Luotian Dojo.

Zhao Yuan must have secretly broken through the Void Refining Realm in order to hide his trump cards and use them at critical moments.

Obviously, this Luotian Dharma Assembly of All Realms is such a critical moment.

The help of a True Lord of Lianxu is enough to suppress all the back-ups left by Ji Zhaoyang.

Ji Zhaoyang stared at Ji Xuanyi and his party with a tense expression, and would immediately choose to escape if the other party made any changes.

Zhenjun Lianxu is simply not an existence that people like them can fight against.

"Don't worry, Third Emperor Brother, I won't attack you outside the gate of Linzi City.

If you take action rashly, you will only be wanted by the Qi State, which will not do any good to my Luo Tian Dharma Conference in all realms. "

Ji Xuanyi conveyed the message secretly with a smile on his face, his words were understated and did not put Ji Zhaoyang in his eyes at all.

This is indeed the case. Ji Xuanyi's side has an absolute advantage in strength, and it is completely easy to kill Ji Zhaoyang and his party.

“There are only two Master Huanxuda and a few Masters of Lian Shen.

Even if I don't ask my uncle to help, I can still easily wipe them out. I really don't know where he got the courage to compete with me for the throne. "

Ji Xuanyi sneered in his heart, and then retracted his gaze from Ji Zhaoyang and others.

At the moment, Ji Zhaoyang is not worth his attention at all. Compared with the third prince who can be killed at any time, the matter at hand is more important.

Thinking of this, Ji Xuanyi looked at the young scholar in front of Xinyang Marquis Zhao Yuan, who was wearing a black long gown.

This scholar only has the cultivation level of the realm of refining spirits, and is not noticeable among the many scholars outside the city. On the cuffs of this scholar, two ancient characters full of Taoism are embroidered with gold thread.

Jixia!

No one in Luotian Realm dares to imitate this set of clothes, because it is owned by the Jixia Academy, which means that the unremarkable young man in front of him is a distinguished Jixia scholar.

At this moment, this Jixia scholar is talking to Zhao Yuan with great interest.

"To be able to reach such a realm as a scholar, Brother Zhao is really gifted.

With Brother Zhao's cultivation, it is easy for him to enter the Jixia Academy. "

"Please rest assured, Brother Zhao. After entering the city, I will definitely introduce you to the teachers in the academy."

Zhao Yuan also bowed at the right time and said, "Thank you Brother Sun for your introduction."

Sun Changyi, a scholar from Jixia Academy, was full of smiles, and seemed to be quite pleased.

Seeing this, Ji Xuanyi couldn't help but ask:

"May I ask Brother Sun, do we need any conditions to join the Jixia Academy?"

Sun Changyi glanced at Ji Xuanyi. Although Ji Xuanyi's cultivation was far superior to his, the Jixia scholar still didn't give Ji Xuanyi any good face, and didn't take him, the prince of Dayin, seriously at all.

Ji Xuanyi's expression froze. Seeing this, Zhao Yuan on the side quickly changed the topic and pointed to the long team in front of him, saying:

"The discussion ceremony is about to begin. It is really not an easy thing to enter Linzi at this time.

But I heard that Jixia scholars can enter the city directly without queuing. I wonder why Brother Sun is here too? "

Sun Changyi retracted his glance at Ji Xuanyi, sighed and shook his head:

"Jixia scholars can enter the city at will without queuing restrictions, but that is only in normal times.

Now the Taoism Ceremony is about to begin. In order to prevent the demons from sneaking into the city to steal the Tao, whether they are officials or Jixia scholars, they must queue up for inspection.

Unless the scholars of the Hundred Schools show their identities, they can enter the city directly."

Zhao Yuan nodded suddenly, and then looked at the wall not far away.

This magnificent Linzi City has two gates. The main gate is forged with gold and iron, which is enough to accommodate giants tens of feet tall. It can be closed all year round and no one can walk with it. Only the auxiliary gate is open daily.

Although the auxiliary gate is also very large, it is difficult to carry so many people. This made Zhao Yuan couldn't help asking:

"Since the auxiliary gate is too small to affect the flow of people, why not open the main gate of Linzi? "

As soon as he said this, Sun Changyi immediately looked at Zhao Yuan with a look like he was looking at a fool.

"Ridiculous! Unless the army enters the city or the emperor is on a tour, it is impossible to open the main city gate. "

Zhao Yuan immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly kept silent.

However, Sun Changyi was stunned, as if he suddenly thought of something, and changed the subject and said:

"But there are exceptions."

"If the scholars who traveled abroad return to the Jixia Academy, the Taoist bells should be played twelve times in the academy, and the main city gates should be opened to welcome the scholars back.

But the scholars have not left the Jixia Academy for hundreds of years, and I am afraid that we may not be able to see such a scene in this lifetime. "

As soon as the voice fell, in the magnificent city, a loud bell sounded throughout the world, and its sound spread like a great road.

There was a moment of silence outside Linzi City.

On the main road in the distance, a dilapidated carriage slowly drove towards this place.
