Great Transcendence

Chapter 8 Cangyuan Academy, Conferring Taoist Priests

In late spring, it was raining lightly.Lin Yi held an oiled paper umbrella and walked on the street.

Because of the rain, there were not many pedestrians.The wide streets give people an empty feeling.

This is the capital of Nancang County, Cangyuan City.

This city is several times larger than the county seat of Lechun County, relying on the main artery of the Cang River to connect east and west, and it is extremely prosperous.

The destination of Lin Yi's trip was the hundred schools located in the west district of Cangyuan City.

The Great Xia Dynasty set up academic clubs in various counties, with the counties as schools, the prefectures as colleges, and further up, that is the Baijia Academy in Shangjing.

The society at the county level is just a platform for gathering information, issuing missions, and communicating with local monks.

Schools at the county level are not only the managers of the subordinate counties' societies, but also responsible for education, responsible for cultivating talents for Daxia.

Every year, hundreds of universities will recruit a group of students, and the best of them will have the opportunity to enter the colleges in the state for further study.

Those who are slightly worse may also have the opportunity to be recommended to continue to practice in various sects.

Even those who barely graduate can find their place in the county.

It is precisely because of this that every year when hundreds of schools enroll students, it is the busiest day in Cangyuan City.

Lin Yi walked quickly, and after a while, he arrived outside the Baijia Academy.

This place is very different from the cold school in Lechun County. Even on a rainy day, the surrounding area is very lively.

Small merchants and peddlers kept shouting and selling, and many young-looking teenagers gathered in small groups, coming and going, very lively.

Occasionally, you can see girls who are stunned.

Because of practice, both men and women can master power, so the status of women in Daxia is not low, and it is impossible to be low.

Lin Yi watched silently, this was very similar to the situation around the university in his previous life.

The dusty memories in his heart for a long time surged up, the past and the present are intertwined, really?fake?
Zhuang Zhou dreaming of a butterfly, or a butterfly dreaming of Zhuang Zhou?

"Oh!" Suddenly, Lin Yi was bumped.When he came back to his senses, he saw a little girl touching her forehead and looking at him angrily.

"You man, why did you suddenly stop while you were walking?" the little girl said fiercely.

Lin Yi looked at the little girl's expression, couldn't help smiling, and said, "It's my fault, I hurt you."

The little girl glanced at Lin Yi and said, "You are quite polite, unlike those savages from the military family. I don't care about adults, so I forgive you."

After the little girl finished speaking, she ignored Lin Yi and walked into a hundred schools all the way.

Lin Yi walked to the gate of the academy, took out a name card from his sleeve, and said, "Lin Yi, a casual cultivator, come to participate in the assessment today."

The guard looked at the name post, which had the seal of the Lechun County Baijia Society on it, and let Lin Yi in, and warmly pointed out the direction.

Walking into the school, the bustling outside seems to be isolated. Although there are many students coming and going, it gives people a quiet feeling.

According to the guard's instructions, Lin Yi arrived at the destination, Lanyue Tower, not long after walking forward.

Walking into Lanyue Building, in the hall on the first floor, there are two people dressed as hunters, one old and one young.

The two were plainly dressed and looked ordinary.There was still fluff around the boy's mouth, but the muscles on his body were strong and firm, like a little leopard.He carried a longbow on his back. Although the brilliance was restrained, it implied a fierce power, which was very extraordinary.

The old man's hands and feet were thick, and his face was covered with the color of wind and frost. It was the trace left by years of toil and work. He coughed a few times from time to time, obviously he was not in good health.

Seeing Lin Yi walking in, two lights flashed in the old man's yellow eyes, and then disappeared.

Lin Yi looked at the two people in the room for a while, then sat on the other side.

Both parties had no intention of talking, and waited quietly.

After about half a stick of incense, a sound of footsteps came from outside.

An old Taoist priest with a clean face, a young Confucian scholar with a pleasant face, and a middle-aged warrior with a burly figure walked in one after another.

Lin Yi stood up at the same time as the old and the young on the opposite side.

The young Confucian scholar said: "Liu Xu, Lin Yi."

Lin Yi and another boy stepped forward and said at the same time, "Here."

The young Confucian scholar nodded slightly and said, "Give me your name cards."

Lin Yi and Liu Xu stepped forward and handed the name cards to the young Confucian scholars respectively.

The young Confucian scholar took out a magic talisman, and after inputting true energy to activate it, a flash of spiritual light rolled up the two-point name card and flew away in an instant.

"Next, it's up to you two." The young Confucian scholar smiled and said to the old Taoist priests and middle-aged warriors on the left and right.

This time, the people who came to the assessment were from the Taoist school and the military school, and he was only here to supervise.

The middle-aged warrior took Liu Xu to the backyard, where there was a martial arts training field, and the military monks were assessed, so naturally they had to fight first.

Compared with the violence of military strategists, the assessment of Taoism is much more dull, and there are only two levels, one internal and one external, which respectively assess the understanding of Taoism and one's own internal cultivation.

There is a complete system for the division of Taoism in the Great Xia World.

Preparatory disciples who are dedicated to Taoism are eligible to be registered in Taoism, but they are not yet Taoist priests.Only by passing the examination of the school can one be granted a talisman.From then on, he has certain privileges.

Above the Taoist priests, there are levels such as mages, real people, real monarchs, and real immortals.

Each of the other families in the hundred families has its own division of realms. For example, the cultivation of military strategists includes warriors, martial masters, masters, martial sages, and human immortals.

Because of the different cultivation methods of hundreds of schools, it is difficult to correspond one by one with many levels. Therefore, in the definition of the Great Xia Dynasty, it is the most simple and direct to roughly divide the first level, second level, and third level...

As for the specific combat power, sword repair is well-deserved number one.

Especially the monks of the "Sword Weapon School", a flying sword can attack from a distance, and can fight in close combat. Even if the true energy is exhausted and it is too late to recover, the solid flying sword that has been refined in various ways can still chop melons and vegetables, and fight against the sky. .

Well, that's a long way off, back to the topic.

Let's talk about outside Lanyue Tower, the military examiner and the young man Liu Xu, who was taking the exam, fought to the flesh, and launched a blood-thirsty hand-to-hand combat.

And in Lanyue Tower, Lin Yi was writing furiously on a scroll.

The titles on this scroll are all derived from the nine Taoist scriptures, such as "Tao Te Ching", "Qing Jing Jing", "Tai Shang Induction Sutra", "Huang Ting Jing Jing" and so on.

After one question was answered, another question appeared on the scroll.

Lin Yi complained secretly in his heart, "This is completely a paperless exam like the fairy world..."

After about a stick of incense, he finally finished answering all the questions.

The old Taoist who had been squinting came over, took out a seal, and poked it on the scroll.Then entraining the air into a talisman, with a flash of inspiration, the scroll flew away.
