Nine idlers

Longmen Academy is located on Longmen Mountain in Ziyun City, and the land of the academy covers almost the entire Longmen Mountain. If you count the hermit clans who belong to the academy and live here, the land area is almost several times larger than that of the nearby Ziyun City. .This place is the source of literature and Taoism in the world, a holy place for scribes, almost [-]% of the civil servants in the countless city-states of Lu Kingdom, Xia Kingdom and even the entire Inner Gate Lingshan come from this place, and more than [-]% of the city-state lords have studied here.Every year, there are countless people who come here from all over the world to study and learn. At the peak, the number even reached millions, which crowded the entire academy, and even had to borrow the houses of the surrounding hermits to accommodate the students of the academy. Or borrow it as a temporary school.

For a long time, outsiders have been very curious about how many people there are in Longmen Academy besides the students who are studying.Someone once secretly observed that no matter how many students come to Longmen Academy, there will always be corresponding teachers who come out to teach, until they leave and disappear, and never appear in the academy again until the next batch of people arrive, and Many of the lecturers each year are people they have never met.Someone hastily calculated it, and found that there are as many as one million of these gentlemen teaching and preaching alone. If you include those eight-party grassroots soldiers who specialize in guarding the safety of the academy, each with a number of more than 30, the people directly under the academy There are millions of people, almost comparable to Lu and Xia.

It is precisely because of the strong strength of the academy itself that it has been able to stand for thousands of years, and eventually become the spiritual symbol of mortals in every city-state and country in the world.No matter where people are, they are proud to be able to study in the academy, and if they can become disciples of the gate wall of the inner courtyard of the academy, they will be able to rise to the top and go straight to the sky. When they go to any city-state or country, they will be the guest of the lord of this place, and their status is distinguished. Comparable to the lord of the city and the lord of the country.

Although Longmen Academy is known to the world for teaching Confucianism to govern the world, its teachings do not only include Confucianism, including Yinyang School, Legalism, Strategists, etc., and even Buddhism and Taoism. Confucian classics can also be learned here.In addition to those who manage the entire academy, in addition to the mountain masters who master the masters of various Confucian classics and the generals who command the soldiers from all directions, there are 120 people who are above them.Controlling and dispatching all the resources of the entire academy, it can be said that these 120 talents are the soul of the entire academy.

According to the ancient book of rites, these 120 people are divided into Sangong, Jiuqing, Erqifu, and 81 Yuanshi. Everyone has amazing knowledge, which is the spirit of the whole academy to Wendao.However, among these people, only 81 Yuanshi will enter the annual student assessment and appear in front of the students when they graduate and leave school. The remaining 39 people are legendary figures who have only heard their voices but never seen them.Some people even doubt whether these 39 people really exist.

Now the 120 people who control the academy, or even the world, are gathered in a simple thatched hut in the forest behind Longmen Mountain, each of them looking worried.As if encountered some unsolvable troubles.In front of them, a middle-aged Confucian scholar wearing a high crown and a Confucian robe sat at the head. His clothes were not outstanding, and his appearance was also very ordinary. What really caught the eye was a scroll hanging above his head The magic weapon of the jade slip kept flashing with aura, and along with the aura, lines of words appeared on the jade slip.

"Such a decision was made. Could it be that the suzerain intends to disregard the fairy rules set by the inner sects of Lingshan and publicize the Zhiyuan hall in the eyes of ordinary people?" On the left side of the Confucian scholar's head, a gray-haired old man in blue He is the grand master of Longmen among the three princes of the academy, and also the master of the mountain of the academy. He is the head of the 120 people below. Because he has the highest status, when everyone has doubts.He was elected and asked questions to the middle-aged Confucian scholars.

Longmen Academy is the outer gate of Zhiyuan Hall in the secular world, except for those mortals who are considered to be called into Zhiyuan Hall and become Taoists, Confucians and immortals, even if they are the lords of various city-states, or the hermits who belong to the academy.None of them knew about the existence of Zhiyuan Hall, they just vaguely felt that there was a powerful force behind Longmen Academy supporting it.Now, if the existence of Zhiyuan Hall is made public to the world, the impact it will have on the entire mortal city-state will be immeasurable, even good or bad, and even Longmen Academy itself will have considerable fluctuations .These are just minor problems, the real big problem is that Zhiyuantang's move has already violated the immortal rules set by various sects not to show up among mortals.He will inevitably be besieged by various sects in the fairy world. No matter how powerful Zhiyuantang is, there will be considerable damage. Compared with the final gains, the damage is obviously not worth the gain.

"Everyone misunderstood." The middle-aged Confucian scholar naturally understood the doubts of the people in the outer mountain gate. He took the jade slip magic weapon back into his hand and said calmly: "The sect just wants to expand the influence of the sect among ordinary people. It must be made public. You only need to inform those mortal city-states of the aristocratic families, city-state city lords, and country lords about the existence of Zhiyuan Hall, so that they can secretly influence the thoughts of those mortals. If I can make Confucianism a family among mortals Domination is naturally the best."

Although the cultivation level of all the people here cannot be compared with the middle-aged Confucian scholars, they are far superior to the middle-aged Confucian scholars and the extraordinary achievements of the Confucian immortals in the Zhiyuan Hall of the Neishan Gate in terms of secular power struggles.It's just the content of one sentence, and everyone has almost understood the intention of Zhiyuantang.

"Is this the suzerain testing Xiaoqing Weitian's various sects?" One of the 72 Yuanshi suddenly asked to confirm his speculation.

Hearing the words below, the middle-aged Confucian scholar couldn't help but sigh in his heart, feeling sorry for the talents of these people being buried.Due to the convenience of his position, he has been in contact with the people of Longmen Academy all the year round, and he knows that although these people's cultivation base is not strong, they are very intelligent and very good at power and strategy. The power held by the sky will definitely be much greater than it is now.

It's a pity that, like most of the immortal sects, the top authority of Zhiyuantang still judges the most important thing for the disciples is the realm of cultivation. No matter how talented they are, they are just existences like ants. Conspiracies under absolute power are like floating clouds under a strong wind, and will only disappear quickly.It's just that they didn't realize that Zhiyuantang didn't have absolute power, and when everyone was at the same level, often conspiracies and tricks were much more useful than pure cultivation.

Just like the decree promulgated today, in his opinion, it is an out-and-out bad idea.He believes that if these disciples of Longmen Academy in front of him are allowed to plan, the rough plan they come up with will be more complete and more beneficial to Zhiyuantang.It's a pity that he is high in the eyes of the people of Longmen Academy, but he is only one of the six officials in the Zhiyuan Hall. There are not many people in the sect who value Longmen Academy as much as he does, and it does not constitute an influence at all.

After sighing in his heart, the middle-aged Confucian scholar nodded, and said: "Now the sects of Xiaoqing and Weitian are expanding their influence outwards. Among them, there are reasons for the secret support of the Daluotian Nine sects, and there are also some Arrogant people have swelled their own ambitions and tried to become the second Qingyang Palace. All in all, Xiaoqingweitian seems to be calm on the surface, but there is a dark tide in it, which is extremely dangerous. Although Zhiyuantang is not the strongest in Xiaoqingweitian Zongmen, but in terms of influence, it can be regarded as the largest family, only because the surrounding sects are also extraordinary, and they unite to suppress my Zhiyuantang, making it impossible for us to expand outward. Therefore, the suzerain and all the sages decided to follow the mortals. Get started and break through the surrounding restrictions."

After everyone heard this, they frowned slightly in unison, followed the Grand Master of Longmen and said on behalf of everyone: "I'm afraid Mr. Qiuguan still has something to say, please tell us all, so that I can think of a safe countermeasure. "

The middle-aged Confucian scholar smiled in embarrassment, but did not become angry. After thinking for a while, he decided not to consider the ban on the sect, and told everyone the truth about the inner sect. His expression became extremely serious, and he said: "This way As you guessed, there are hidden secrets in the decree. On the surface, it is indeed to test the surrounding sects, but in fact it has three purposes. One purpose is to completely separate all the mortal city-states in Lingshan, the inner sect, from my Zhiyuan Hall. Bind together, to take advantage of all living beings, and suppress the heroes. Another purpose is to thicken the foundation of my Zhiyuantang. Although my Zhiyuantang Confucian immortal method also pays attention to cultivation aptitude, compared with other immortals, demons, Buddhas, demons and heavens. , but it is also suitable for ordinary mortals to practice. As long as mortals are familiar with the scriptures and act upright, they will naturally develop the spirit of papers and righteousness. But it will not be too bad. Although the quality is not good, winning by quantity is a good way to expand power. As for the last purpose, it has nothing to do with the mortal world. In fact, I want to see the Qingyang Palace and the inner door Lingshan The reaction of the nine sects, after all, if they directly intervene in the affairs of Xiaoqingweitian, I am afraid that no matter how many plans I Zhiyuantang makes, it will not be possible to turn upside down in Xiaoqingweitian."

After hearing the words of the middle-aged Confucian scholar, everyone looked at each other with solemn expressions on their faces. They did not expect that a simple decree would involve the entire sect of the immortal family in Lingshan, the inner sect, and even the foundation of Zhiyuan Hall , It really made them feel uncomfortable.Although everyone also wants to take this opportunity to make some achievements and get the attention of the inner mountain sect, or to use immortal methods, elixir, or to make Yin Meng offspring, but in the face of those immortal sects with countless immortals, they can't do it casually. One breath can wipe them out, and the danger they have to face is too great, far beyond their tolerance limit.

However, even though the disciples of Longmen didn't want to be such cannon fodder-like vanguard soldiers, they didn't dare to refuse directly. They could only think about the loopholes in the plan, so as to make Neishanmen stop the plan.So after thinking about it for a while, the leader of the Longmen Grand Master asked in a deep voice: "Although the above plan is good, it is too much to be taken for granted. If the surrounding sects use this as an excuse to form an alliance and work together to eradicate my Zhiyuan first." How will the suzerain and the others deal with it?" (To be continued.
