Chapter 109 Xuantian City

Mysterious Mirror Realm, Mysterious Sky City.

……

……

As the hometown of the Great Master, Xuantian City does not need the protection of the city wall at all.

The tall towers and buildings in the city that border the sky can be seen from a long distance, which gives Lin Chuan the illusion that he has come to Xiaozuo, but the tall buildings here are not the product of infrastructure development, all rely on Manpower is the only way to be so stable.

Before entering the city, the official road, which can accommodate eight carriages driving side by side, has already started to become congested.

Because those empty beasts carrying people cannot fly over the sky above Xuantian City, but must land at the empty beast station outside the city gate.

Lin Chuan put his hands behind his head, lazily leaning against the car door, watching the bustling crowd, and soon heard someone mention Pingluan Academy.

……

"Pingluan Academy's opening exam this year will start registration tomorrow, and I don't know if the three religions will send people to mess things up this time."

"Those disciples of the Three Religions are stronger than us poor families, but they still want to come to the academy to occupy the resources that belong to us. They say that Pingluan Academy is the last fairness of our poor family. I think it's bullshit. What else is there in this world?" fair."

"Fair? Which cultivator's realm is not a struggle, that is, no husband is willing to accept us, otherwise you would not refuse to become a student of Confucianism.

Also, those of us who have read a few books can’t be called poor families, the real poor families are those down-and-out gentry, anyway, my family finally produced scholars in my father’s generation..."

……

Those who spoke were a group of scholars who had just entered the spiritual realm. Everyone carried their own bookcases, and there was no book boy. It seemed that none of them had any inheritance from their masters.

Among the three religions, Buddhism is not easy to enter, because Buddhism teaches the method of "destiny", and if you want to enter Buddhism, you need incense and money.

Daoism is also difficult to follow, because they value inheritance, those big bosses would rather bring their cultivation base to the loess than find a disciple who is about to die.

Only Confucianism is the easiest to enter, but also the hardest.

The simple reason is that the Wenqu star in the three rounds of bright moons allows all scholars to cultivate with their talents. As long as they study with peace of mind, they can call themselves Confucian scholars.

If you want to join Confucianism, you need not only talent, but also the same ideas and the guidance of a famous teacher.

Only those Confucian students who have a teacher's inheritance will be recognized by Confucianism and become true disciples of the three religions.

Lin Chuan didn't know much about Pingluan Academy, but from them, he knew why the master wanted them to rush to Xuantian City within a month, presumably to prepare for tomorrow's opening exam.

Thinking of this, Lin Chuan jumped out of the carriage, took the initiative to walk to the group of scholars, and asked the last young scholar who spoke:

"Brother, do you want to take the opening exam of Pingluan Academy?"

The few scholars next to him who complained about the disciples of the Three Religions, after seeing Lin Chuan's brocade attire, all put on a flattering smile, bowed slightly, and performed a peer salute.

On the contrary, the little scholar who sneered at "fairness" still nodded reluctantly with that expression of seeing through the world.

Lin Chuan didn't care, and chatted with a few scholars very familiarly.

On this congested official road, walking is even faster than taking a carriage. Xuan Jing and Liu Zheng were sitting in the carriage, watching Lin Chuan and them chatting in disbelief.

Liu Zheng asked incomprehensibly:
"Why can they chat with Brother Lin? Are they not afraid?"

"Didn't you notice the changes in senior brother these days? The inexplicable chill on his body seemed to be covered by the fragrance of flowers. When I was asking for directions yesterday, the old man who didn't pay much attention to you became so cold when talking to him. Very gentle..."

Xuan Jing had already discovered the difference in Lin Chuan, the fragrance of flowers from unknown sources seemed to have the effect of deceiving people.

But Liu Zheng didn't agree. As long as he thought of Lin Chuan's appearance when he killed someone, he would feel chills in his heart. On weekdays, unless necessary, he basically avoided Lin Chuan for the rest of the time, so he couldn't feel Lin Chuan at all. River changes.

……

"Have you read Jiantiansi's monthly report? It said that Yuncheng was occupied by unknown forces three days ago."

"I just met a caravan from Youzhou. They said that there was a dense green fog covering Yuncheng. The green fog has spread to a hundred miles outside the city. I don't know if there are any living people inside."

"I don't know how long this peaceful life can last..."

……

Lin Chuan had a good chat with these scholars. From the opening of the college entrance examination, to Pingluan Academy, he didn't return to the carriage until someone mentioned Yuncheng, and let Lingyin set up a soundproof enchantment, covering him and Xuan Jing and Liu Zheng.

Seeing Lin Chuan's hesitant to speak, Xuan Jing said with a smile:

"Brother, you can talk about what happened in Yuncheng casually. I just sealed my thinking about Zen. I still remember what happened."

"...It's not about the Yaozhi clan, but about Pingluan Academy."

Lin Chuan pondered for two seconds before talking about the information he just heard from those scholars.

……

Pingluan Academy, which he didn't like at all, was actually second only to the Three Religions in the eyes of these monks in Kyushu, and even had a higher status than the royal family and the Promise Sect.

It has only been a hundred years since the founding of Pingluan Academy by this generation of great masters, but the opening exam has already been held for the 35th session. Every time the opening exam means that a group of academy students have entered the realm of enlightenment and need the next batch of spiritual awakening monks to fill the gap.

Those disciples who graduated from the academy didn't all disappear as in the legend, but went to the military or entered the court, and they all became new gentry.

And the candidates who took part in the opening examination had also changed from less than a hundred people at the beginning to the present crowd of people.

At this time, if you look at the entire Xuantian City from the air, you can find that the six official roads that can enter Xuantian City are all congested at the same time, and more than half of these people are here to participate in the opening of the Pingluan Academy exam.

At first, the three religions didn't care about this small academy. Although they all sent their elders to be teachers, they only regarded it as a pastime for the great master.

It wasn't until 30 years ago that Jiantiansi did not use Daqin's army, but only sent [-] "Xuanyi envoys" to raid the Lotte Temple outside Yong'an City, and the three religions reacted.

It took less than 70 years for the great master to cultivate a Xuanyi envoy whose realm is at least above the level of the gods.

It was also from that time that the disciples of the Three Religions also began to take part in the opening examination of Pingluan Academy.

Because all the resources collected by the Great National Teacher are invested in the academy, as long as the students of the academy make enough contributions to the academy, no matter whether they are members of the three religions or not, they can be exchanged for corresponding natural talents and earthly treasures.

As long as the disciples of the Three Religions performed well, wouldn't it be equivalent to using the money of the great master to support their own children?

How could Sanjiao miss this good thing of borrowing the chicken to lay the egg?

The Great Master didn't mind this, as long as the disciples who passed the opening examination were treated equally.

So at this time, the students and teachers of Pingluan College have already been divided into several forces, and the relationship among them is intricate and undercurrent.

……

However, the reason for Lin Chuan's bad complexion was not because he was worried about his future life in the academy, but because of his senior brother, Yan Wushuang.

When Lin Chuan mentioned Wujizong intentionally or unintentionally, those boring scholars quickly showed off what they had seen and heard.

Lin Chuan quickly deduced the current situation of the elder brother from their few words that he didn't know the truth of.

The elders of the Promise Sect who were sent to the academy were the commanders of the Demonic Army, they just had a name in the academy, and they were stationed in the Demonic Land outside the Sky-Shattering Canyon on weekdays.

In fact, the one who stayed in the college to teach the students battle formation became the commander's adjutant, that is, Lin Chuan's senior brother, Yan Wushuang.

In Pingluan Academy, all forces are composed of teachers and students, and they complement each other.

Those teachers who stayed in school were originally from poor families, so they were the confidence of the poor students.

And those elders from the three sects will naturally take care of their own students,

Only the elders from the royal family and Wuji sect became lonely.

After all, those princes and princesses have special tutors, and there is no shortage of resources, so there is no need to come to this academy to suffer. Even the three religions will only let those disciples with average aptitude to participate in the opening examination of Pingluan Academy.

They are reluctant to send those with excellent aptitude to the academy. If they are abducted by the great master, they will have no place to cry.

Even if the disciples of the Wuji Sect came here, they would not dare to reveal their identities easily, unless they were the kind of ruthless people who could bully the same generation, otherwise no one would be willing to face the targets of the three religions at the same time.

The three religions can only be so united when facing the Wuji Sect.

Fortunately, Yan Wushuang has a good master, and he was just squeezed out in the academy, not to the point of danger.

But Lin Chuan was unwilling to let his senior brother suffer this grievance. If it wasn't for Wu Tian's order, with his senior brother's character, he would have sent his son to the Demon Land to kill people, how could he still be here.

……

"So brother, you want to use your own name to take the opening exam?"

Xuan Jing understands Lin Chuan's thoughts, but doesn't want him to put himself in danger. After all, the matter of Zhenlong has not been resolved. As long as Lin Chuan reveals his identity, the three religions will definitely try to tempt him, and it is not impossible to even kidnap him directly to extract a confession.

But before Xuan Jing opened his mouth to persuade, Lin Chuan waved his hands and said:
"I'm not that impulsive yet. It's not that Lin Chuan is the only disciple of the Wuji Sect. Isn't there also Liu Zheng?"

Liu Zheng was still secretly happy beside him, thinking that Lin Chuan would say nothing behind his back now, and he was one step closer to becoming a confidant of his senior brother, but he didn't expect Lin Chuan to mention himself.

"I?"

Looking at Lin Chuan's natural look, Liu Zheng suddenly felt a little regretful... He always felt that Lin Chuan would use his name and cause big trouble, but he didn't dare to refuse.

Lin Chuan patted him on the shoulder, threw the "Mushanhe" roster directly into his arms, and said nonchalantly:
"Don't worry, give me the Zongmen's badge. From now on, you will be Mu Shanhe. The opening of the college entrance examination is just a formality for you. Isn't that a good thing?"

"This... I see, Lin, cough, Senior Brother Liu."

Liu Zheng had no choice but to comply with Lin Chuan's request, and even under the threat of Lin Chuan's eyes, he directly changed his name and called Senior Brother Liu.

Xuan Jing covered his forehead helplessly, none of his senior brothers could worry, and Lin Chuan was the most worrying one. I don't know how much trouble he will cause this time... But the little monk can already Liu Zheng's future was foreseen.

Poor Liu Zheng probably won't dare to use his real name in the future.

……

No matter how congested the road is, it will eventually come to an end.

When the sun was setting, Lin Chuan and the others finally saw the Xuanyi Envoy stationed outside the city.

There are monks in the spiritual realm guarding the gate, and there is really no need to build such a tall city wall in Xuantian City.

Before the city, Lin Chuan and the others stopped in their tracks because of the bustling scene in front of them.

The flat bluestone road on the ground is spotless, and the wide and straight streets divide the city into large and small squares. Pedestrians on the road are rubbing shoulders, and shops on both sides of the road are also shouting loudly. .

Looking from a distance, there are countless pavilions and pavilions, and under the effect of the formation, the stars are densely suspended in the sky above the city.

In the world of fireworks, looking up is a fairyland.

……

"Take out all the identity yellow books."

Lin Chuan was still immersed in the bustling scenery, and didn't notice that they had arrived in front of Xuanyi Shi.

The Xuanyi in the black brocade suit looked impatient, patted the table, and repeated:
"Take out all the identity yellow books! Are you so deaf!?"

It was only then that Lin Chuan realized that the carriage had stopped, but he forgot to let Ling An take back the sound-proof barrier. He only saw that the envoy in black had a bad look on his face, and didn't hear what he said.

Lin Chuan quickly withdrew Ling An, but the envoy in black clothes was impatient, pulled out his knife, and walked over directly. Just as he was about to explain, the envoy in black clothes put his arms around his neck:

"Don't move! Go over there and put on the shackles yourself, and wait until I get off work and take you back to the supervisor to verify your integrity!"

Li Yang's face was full of joy, because as long as he joined Tiansi, the life and death of these people would be under his control.

Originally, guarding the gate was a kind of punishment given to Xuanyi envoy by Jian Tiansi. Li Yang happened to catch up with the opening of the Pingluan Academy this month, and he was already in a state of irritability. , It can be regarded as a kind of adjustment for his boring life.

Moreover, Li Yang, who is in the supernatural state, is not worried about encountering an immovable iron board at all. After all, those with higher cultivation bases than him can fly directly into the city without queuing at all.

There are only a few forces in the world that their Xuanyi envoys can't afford to provoke.

Those disciples of the three religions will also take the flying boat of the master's school and go directly to the residences of each religion in the city.

The royal family can't even do the white dragon fish suit, that is, the disciples of the Wuji Sect may line up because they have to conceal their identities.

But even if he did point his back, and actually ran into a disciple of the Wuji Sect, Li Yang would still have nothing to fear.

He didn't believe that the disciples of the Promise Sect would expose themselves because of such a trivial matter, and he could even make a fortune to cover up their identities.

Unfortunately, what Li Yang met was Lin Chuan...
