Longevity: Beginning from the Great Zhou Dynasty

Chapter 434 The Supreme Being Transforms into a Mortal

In the south of Xihai City, there is Lanxin Academy.

The crisp and melodious sound of reading aloud spreads from the inside out to the streets and alleys. If you listen carefully, you will be surprised to find that it is actually the voice of a woman.

It's just that the neighbors are all around, and passers-by seem to be used to it.

At the entrance of the alley, an old man selling wontons smiled and served two bowls of wontons to two wandering Taoist priests, an old man and a young man.

"Mrs. Yuxiu's Lanxin Academy has been established for decades. It not only teaches people reading and literacy, but also etiquette and tea skills, female craftsmen's cooking skills, and the ability to maintain a healthy life. It has taught countless nobles and ladies, and it is said that some of them even fly. She climbed up a branch and entered the palace to become a queen!"

After taking a sip of the wonton soup, the old Taoist priest couldn't help but smile and said, "My father-in-law admires Mrs. Yuxiu very much!"

"My granddaughter is not very talented, but she was fortunate enough to study poetry, arithmetic, and cooking in an academy for several years." The old man said with a bit of pride in his tone.

Although women's schools in the Zhou Dynasty are not rare, they are rarely established with much fanfare.

More wealthy families still mainly invite teachers and teachers to teach in their homes.

The dirty little Taoist priest picked up the wontons in the bowl and asked with a bulging mouth: "Oh, so your granddaughter must be married to a good family?"

The old man looked like a country boy: "Who said you have to get married after learning good skills? My granddaughter followed Mrs. Yuxiu's example and now she has set up a private school for girls in a remote village!"

When the old Taoist priest heard this, he couldn't help but marveled and raised his hands: "My father-in-law is so enlightened!"

At this time, the salesman who was resting next to him joked: "You old guy, you show off your precious granddaughter to everyone! It's not too late to mention your achievements when you have a wife!"

The old man hummed and retorted: "There are few people like Madam in the world. My granddaughter still has a long way to go. Unlike my daughter, who now has two in three years, I am afraid you will be able to have a grandson in a few years!"

The salesman noticed the meaning of the old man's words and couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Your family has spare money to burn! The girl can only recognize two words and is blind. She really wants to cultivate a female champion, but she can't be married." Yinzi!”

The old man couldn't help blowing his beard and glared: "I think you can't eat the grapes but say they are sour! Mrs. Yuxiu has been awarded the memorial arch by His Majesty, praised by successive masters of the palace, and enjoys the salary of a sixth-grade female official!"

"It will be enough for my granddaughter to have some happiness in the future!"

The salesman also knew that the old man treasured his granddaughter the most, so he did not choose to continue to argue, threw down a few coins, waved and left.

The old Taoist priest couldn't help but smile when he saw this, and then said curiously: "The poor Taoist and the young disciple came from the east and passed through this place. I didn't expect to see such a virtuous person."

"Who are there who are listening to the teachings inside now?"

The old man put away the coins dropped by the salesman with disgust and explained: "There are all the magistrates, fellow magistrates, and the concubines of some lords in the surrounding counties. There are also some people who have come from afar, whose identities are not known to us. That’s it.”

"Of course there are daughters from ordinary families. Moreover, Madam teaches everyone equally. Even the prefect cannot interfere."

Hearing this, the old Taoist couldn't hide the look of surprise on his face: "I think the prefect would be happy to see this move that benefits one party, right?"

"Who wouldn't say yes!" The old man was obviously proud.

Not long after.

Then I saw that the classes at Lanxin Academy were about to end, and there were servants and nannies at the door to greet them, waiting for their young lady to come out.

Two middle-aged and powerful middle-aged women opened the courtyard door, and immediately a number of well-dressed girls walked out, followed by a group of young girls.

Finally, an old woman with gray hair, simple clothes, and a calm and gentle temperament walked out slowly, followed by a dignified middle-aged woman. After the two waved goodbye to the students, they turned and returned to the academy.

"There aren't many students?"

Hearing this, the old man laughed and said: "Although Madam maintains a good health, she is getting old. There are only two classes, the big one and the small class, and the small class is under the care of her eldest disciple."

The old Taoist priest suddenly nodded: "That's it."

"Do you know if there is a Taoist temple in this city? It would be convenient for us master and apprentice to place orders." After hearing this, the old man couldn't help laughing and said: "Pending orders? Turn left at the entrance of the alley in front and go straight a few hundred feet to see the Golden Emperor Temple. It is said that it was established by the immortal masters on Kunlun Mountain."

"Perhaps the City God's Temple also welcomes people like Taoist priests to stay here."

The old Taoist smiled and nodded, took out a few copper coins from his bag, paid for the wontons, and pulled his apprentice before he stood up and left.

When passing by Lan Xin Academy, he paused for a moment, turned around and went to a shop across the street from the academy.

But it is a small shop selling the Four Treasures of the Study and other supplies.

It is obviously very reasonable to have such a shop opposite the academy.

"Shopkeeper, do you have yellow form paper for sale?"

The shopkeeper is a middle-aged man with a round figure and a big smile. Looking at the slovenly old and young people, he can't help but curl his lips in disgust: "Where are these sloppy Taoists from? We are a place where scholars come. , if you want to use your magic skills to draw talismans, go to Xisi Alley to find it!"

The old Taoist priest slapped his forehead with a tattered cattail leaf fan and said in annoyance: "Ouch, I'm offended! I wonder if you sell all kinds of paper in a shop like ours in a small place!"

The shopkeeper looked at the old Taoist up and down, and said with a half-smile but not a smile: "Tsk! The management of Xihai City is very strict. The old Taoist priest should be more careful before he wants to swindle."

After saying that, he waved his hands to signal the two of them not to disturb his business.

The old Taoist priest left with a smile, pulled the young Taoist priest out of the alley, and ran towards the Golden Emperor Temple.

"Master, don't you go and recognize Master Su?"

The old Taoist priest, Lin Xuanzhi, slowly waved his cattail leaf fan and said, "I don't recognize you! Even if I come here, I'm afraid I won't know who I am!"

"Besides, in her current state, she should not be disturbed."

Lin Xuanzhi's eyes were deep, as if he was thinking about something.

That Mrs. Yuxiu just now is undoubtedly Master Su Mingxin.

Although her age and temperament have changed drastically, and her appearance is no longer the same as that of the otherworldly fairy, people who know her appearance can always recognize her after observing her.

"It's not appropriate to be disturbed? Under what circumstances is being disturbed?" Zhou Shuren thought thoughtfully.

Lin Xuanzhi's eyes flashed: "The Supreme Being transforms into mortals, and the method of seeking truth in the world of mortals. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to read all of the Supreme Heavenly Book, so I don't know much about it."

"But the uncle's condition seems to be somewhat different from the records."

Zhou Shuren scratched his head and said to himself that it was a good thing he didn't practice the secret book of heaven from Xuandu. Otherwise, it would be all mysterious and mysterious ways, which his brain would not be able to bear.

"Then we really go to Jinhuang to watch the orders?"

Lin Xuanzhi smiled and nodded: "Of course! The location is just right. Let's observe it for a while."

The Golden Emperor looks outside.

Lin Xuanzhi paused slightly as he watched Kun Dao coming in and out from time to time.

Zhou Shuren joked: "Master, do you want to enter the Golden Emperor Temple or not?"

Lin Xuanzhi fanned the back of his head and scolded with a smile: "Come in, why don't you come in? How can a cultivator need to care about so many worldly etiquette."
