The Hundred Schools of Thought that Replaced the Struggle Between Heaven and Man
In the Yansheng Academy, in the martial arts arena, all the students who have studied in Yansheng Academy for more than three years, are under the age of 28, and are still in the academy, are gathered here. Although many students of Yansheng Academy have left because of the battlefield, most of them are students who have not been in school for long, and some have stayed in the academy for a long time but still have no chance to become formal students.
Companion students are different from book boys. Book boys spend most of their time in the academy doing odd jobs. They not only need to take on the obligation to clean the academy, but also help organize books, guard the gate of the academy, and other odd jobs. Companion students are selected by formal students and live and eat with them. They do not need to take on any chores in the academy. They only need to accompany formal students to read, practice calligraphy, and listen to the teacher's lectures every day.
Although there are only two words between a bookboy and a companion bookboy, the gap between the two is a huge chasm. If a companion bookboy wants to become a formal student, it will take a long time. Many companion bookboys are talented, or think they are talented. Now that the troubled times are about to start, they can't stand the boring life in the academy. They believe that they can achieve something in the troubled times, so they choose to leave.
At this time, there are more than 400 students left in the academy. They all listened very seriously to Yi Fusheng's story standing on the martial arts stage.
"I think everyone knows why I asked everyone to gather here. That's right, it's for the five-institute tea party and the Hundred Schools of Thought in two years."
Mr. Yi's voice was very loud, and his eyes swept across everyone's faces with an invisible majesty. He could feel that everyone present at this moment was very serious and excited at the same time.
"Of course, there is no need to say much about the Five Academy Tea Party. It is jointly held by the five major Confucian academies every five years, and the specific rules have not changed much. Today, we are mainly talking about the Hundred Schools of Thought."
"The Mirage Dragon fell, and the talent rose. All those who cultivate talent in the world have moved to the first half of the realm. This is the blessing of Lord Mirage Dragon. But originally, the battle between heaven and man was carried out by Lord Mirage Dragon using the soul gathering technique. Now that the Mirage Dragon has fallen, the battle between heaven and man cannot be carried out. This also makes the various schools of thought lose the opportunity to communicate."
"When the Master heard this,
he intended to hold a Hundred Schools of Thought to relieve the worries. The Master The palace said: ‘
Today’s martial arts are no longer the martial arts of the past. Today, both civil and military coexist, so martial artists also have talents, and literati also have martial arts. The battle of the hundred schools of thought is intended to recreate the scene of the discussion of the various schools of thought thousands of years ago. Therefore, the affairs of civil and military affairs are not bound by rules and forms. The capable ones are promoted and the weak ones are demoted. The affairs of heaven and earth are discussed, and the opinions of the world are debated. The representatives are selected to represent the various schools of thought and do the most suitable things to form the strongest foundation. ’”
Yi Fusheng was telling the intention of the first master palace, but the people present could not help but start to discuss.
"It sounds interesting. Does this mean that even if one's cultivation is not very high, one can still communicate with other schools face to face? There will be no situation where one is eliminated by others as soon as he enters Fenglin Continent in the battle between heaven and man?"
"Yes, I heard that the Mohist mechanical art has a good attainment in the art of mechanical art. I have heard about the Yin and Yang Qi methods practiced by the Taoists and Yin-Yang Schools. I have long wanted to see them."
"The Hall of the First Master? Why have I never heard of it? What is this place?" A third-year student asked.
"This is a holy place that protects the Tianyuan Continent. Anyone who is qualified to become a member of the Hall of the First Master must at least reach the semi-saint realm, or the literary master realm recognized by the semi-saint before he can enter it." A senior student answered.
"Only semi-saints can enter? The threshold of the Temple of the First Master is too high."
"Otherwise, how can it become a holy place that protects the entire continent?"
"Please be quiet. I know everyone is very excited, but please listen to me."
Yi Fusheng looked at the increasingly noisy crowd and stretched out his hand to calm them down. After everyone calmed down, he spoke again: "But there is one thing I must say. Compared with the battle between heaven and man, this time the Hundred Schools of Thought will be very dangerous. After all, fists and feet have no eyes, and accidents are inevitable when fighting, so everyone should still take life as the premise."
"Other words, I won't say anything more. The number of students participating in the Five Academy Tea Party and the Hundred Schools of Thought will be increased from 72 to 100, plus one scholar, a total of 100 people. These people will be selected from all of you present."
"The seats for the competition will be occupied by those who are capable. I declare that today's selection battle officially begins."
. . . . . . .
"Teacher, why didn't Dean Yan go back to the academy with us?"
"Before Yan Zheng went to the academy, he had already appointed Yi Fusheng as the vice president of Yansheng Academy, with full authority to manage the academy. And he has decided to leave Yansheng Academy for a while, but he didn't tell me what he was going to do."
"Teacher, he actually became the vice president of the academy?"
Above the sky, three sword lights crossed and turned into three bright spots of light, flying towards Daliang. These three sword lights were Ci Song, Ning Ping'an, and Zhong Chang.
"Today is the day when the academy selects students for the next Five Academy Tea Party. You should adjust your talents first and be ready to fight." Ning Ping'an continued to say to Ci Song.
"Five Academy Tea Party? Isn't it going to be held in two years? Why did Yansheng Academy start selecting students so early?" Zhong Chang asked curiously.
Ci Song heard this and explained, "Brother Zhong, you don't know that Yansheng Academy has always selected students in advance. In the next two years, other students who have not received a quota can choose to challenge these students. If there are students who can defeat those who have already obtained a quota, they will give the quota to these challengers. Therefore, students who have obtained a quota in advance cannot be careless, otherwise they may be taken away by others."
"I see, this is a big difference from Zilu Academy. The quota for Zilu Academy to participate in the Five Academy Tea Party is personally designated by my father. No matter how you argue, it is useless. Even I think this is a bit unfair."
Zhong Cang laughed at himself, "Originally, I thought that our Zilu Academy had an open style of study, but it was still far behind Yansheng Academy."
"Each has its own advantages. After all, Dean Zhong has a high vision, and those who can be selected by him will not be too weak." Ci Song said politely.
"Ci Song, how about you attend the Five Academy Tea Party directly as a student and give up the place for the generals?"
