Chapter 6: Rixin Studio

Upon reaching the front entrance, one can see a plaque mounted on the gatehouse, inscribed with the four large characters "Wei Jing Academy"

It is now the twenty-third year of Guangxu, which corresponds to the year 1897 in the Gregorian calendar

With a long robe at his side, despite his somewhat dark complexion and appearance resembling that of a poor family, the past scholars, monks, and instructors did not stop him, allowing him to enter the academy

Who are you

Yet, the slow pace is precisely unfamiliar

He lay on the straw and continued to sleep, conserving his energy

Return to the dungeon at the designated time, share meals with fellow inmates, and then return to the instance world to practice basic stances.

Reading is undoubtedly the best way to change one's destiny

As long as the practical knowledge is solid and the assessment of the academy is passed, the academy will also accept the student

Xu Xing, who inquired about the reality of Weijing Academy, understood that "Rixin" and "Shimin" each represent a study hall, namely Rixin Study Hall and Shimin Study Hall

It has indeed found some practical applications

Otherwise, if someone strikes you with a punch or slashes you with a knife, you may not withstand the pain, becoming distracted. In the midst of the flashing blades and the hail of bullets on the battlefield, it could take merely a moment to endanger your life

Practical Learning? Wei Jing Academy?

All that is received are scholars

Entering the Shinzai Institute to study practical knowledge is a task he can handle with ease

Crossing through the gate smeared with tung oil, I made my way around the corridor adjacent to the nearby screen wall

Foolishness leads to abundance; to learn foolishness is to learn abundance

Upon seeing a stranger enter the study, the instructor Wang, who was seated behind the desk with his back straight against the chair, could not help but frown

Although "he and I" could replace oneself in practicing martial arts, Xu Xing, after careful consideration, ultimately abandoned this shortcut and chose to endure the hardships of training in martial arts

Mr. Chang took note of it

Xu Xing served him a meal, which was beyond his expectations

On a journey to purchase supplies in Jingyang County, he encountered a building with stone brick pavement and white walls with dark tiles, distinctly different from others.

The Eight-Legged Essay examination, without a doubt, is a shortcut in life that should not be taken lightly

Therefore, his display of this fallen demeanor will not raise any suspicions.

After all, scholars who specialize in practical studies often do not achieve success in the examination halls

After finishing the meat, drink the thin porridge

Xu Xing delivering braised pork to Scholar Su is indeed an embellishment on an already splendid occasion

These gains may not be of much use at present, but in the future, they may prove to be of great significance

The Qing court has not yet fled to the west, and Liu Xueyu has not yet submitted a letter to the governor of Shaanxi Province to execute the Empress Dowager in the west

Liu Guyu is also the master of the alluring Grass Saint

Chang Ji cast a deep glance at Xu Xing, accepting the steamed bun and meat that Xu Xing offered.

This method of division and abstinence originates from the teaching method of division and abstinence by Hu Ai of the Song Dynasty

There is no need to worry about this

The academy has more than two hundred scholars, and he is familiar with the appearance of each scholar by heart

Three days later

He quickly made up his mind and stepped into the Ri Xin Zhai.

He has basically lost all hope of regaining his official position in this lifetime

At the entrance of the Rixin Study, one must dedicate one's mind and spirit to the study of the eight-legged essay.

Once again, a stone tablet inscribed: "No emphasis on formalities, focusing primarily on practical learning"

A scholar, what is a scholar? Only those who have achieved merit and fame can be called scholars

However, in reality, from the moment he lay on the straw, Xu Xing had once again entered the mirrored world.

Xu Xing took out the savings he had accumulated, rented a long gown, and stepped into the Weijing Academy

After this ... ...

Chang Ji looked at Xu Xing with surprise

If Xu Xing truly has the ability to excel in his studies, the Ge Lao Hui would not only refrain from obstructing him, but would instead promote him, elevating his status and position. If he proves his capabilities, he might even be granted the title of Xiang Zhu...

The standard of the gruel provided to the disaster victims by the outside world is better than the thin gruel he consumes daily

Both the Ri Xin and Shi Min academies emphasize practical learning

However, he speaks very politely, which does not provoke any feelings of aversion in others

One of the leaders of the Reformist faction, known alongside Kang Youwei as "Nan Kang Bei Liu".

Xu Xing observed the scholars in long gowns coming and going inside and outside the academy, and made a resolute decision

"Entering the Jinxin Study, or perhaps the Shimin Study..."

This is what is referred to as impact resistance

Welcome to the Jinxin Study

Currently, the president of Weijing Academy is the renowned Liu Guyu, known both domestically and internationally

Once one enters the Ge Lao Society, one becomes a brother, and thus one's life is essentially destined to oppose the Qing dynasty. Among the new army in Qin Province, many officers are members of the Ge Lao Society, deeply concealed. In recent days, Xu Xing has also encountered a few.

Many carved stones are also standing near the gatehouse

The Qing Dynasty still had more than ten years of its state and territory, and the reforms of the New Policies and the imperial examination system were not matters that could be accomplished in a short time. If he wanted to change his fate, he would have to usurp a high position.

Walking slowly feels like a big profit

Proceeding slowly and hesitantly

Xu Xing did not expect that after crossing over to the Fengxi Kingdom, his undergraduate major in history would be of no use at all. Who would have thought that it would open up a world within a mirror

Practicing the horse stance and standing post is not only about solidifying fundamental skills but also about training the willpower of the martial artist

... ...

In the 24th year of the Guangxu era, it was in the provincial examination hall of Shaanxi that one could achieve the first place in the annual examination, which was also inseparable from the instruction in the eight-legged essay format at the Weijing Academy.

However, as time goes by, one will gradually conform to the mainstream.

It seems that if I want to change my fate, the Weijing Academy is my opportunity

As for the Ge Lao Society ... ? ... will it hinder his pursuit of studies at the Sutra Academy?

Six ministers, seven dignitaries, eight revered deities, nine noble friends, ten self-cultivation

Moreover, each time one practices martial arts, there are certain gains in the finer details

Xu Xing fell into deep thought

... ...

However, there are exceptions to this.

However, he did not forget to seek opportunities to evade the deadly calamity

Certainly, the Weijing Academy does not accept just anyone

The Wei Jing Academy later became a memorial hall for Liu Guyu in subsequent generations

He has not tasted meat for nearly three years

It is stated above: "One should not engage in empty talk for learning, nor should one engage in empty talk for teaching"

The daily life of prisoners in the heavenly prison is similarly monotonous, consisting of eating and sleeping each day. Perhaps some individuals, upon their initial entry into the heavenly prison, may still engage in martial arts training and literary studies, presenting an appearance of unwillingness to succumb to their fate

One's life, fate, and feng shui are of primary importance, followed by the accumulation of virtue and the pursuit of knowledge

It is like sending coal in the snow to him

Finally, hard work pays off for those who are diligent

Few may be familiar with Weijing Academy, which is not as renowned in practical education as other late Qing academies such as Gijing Jingshe or Xuehaitang. However, when the name Liu Guyu is mentioned, most people may have some impression of it

Upon passing the screen wall, two revolving doors appeared before me

The thin porridge he is served daily contains the least amount of rice grains, almost resembling clear soup with very little substance

Even the prison guards looked down on him a little

In recent days, he has inquired and learned that Weijing Academy is always open to accepting students from outside, without any restrictions on their visits.

Let alone Xu Xing being sentenced to death

However, there are distinctions between the two academies. In addition to imparting practical knowledge, the Rixin Academy also teaches a portion of the knowledge related to the Eight-Legged Essay format.

Ancient sages have said: A slight deviation can lead to a thousand miles of error

The left door is adorned with the phrase "Daily Renewal", while the right door displays the phrase "Timely Sensitivity"

One of the inscriptions on the stone caught Xu Xing's attention.

The leisurely lifestyle follows a very regular routine

Just a bowl of braised pork and two steamed buns garnered the goodwill of two officials

Later, he adopted the pseudonym "Liu Xueyu".
