Chapter 9: Master, there is one last question.

It is a world of immortal heroes where both immortality and martial arts coexist

Zhang Yun spoke with great fervor and passion.

Yes

Sir, could you please elaborate on the Seven Realms of Confucianism and Daoism in detail

You are just being restless and irritable, and sometimes you may lose a lot over trivial matters. Considering your age, you are almost seventeen this year

It is the literary bell of the study

Master Liu spoke, articulating the advantages and disadvantages of Confucianism and Daoism

Master Liu said with a smile

Zhang Yun felt very uncomfortable due to anger

Within the classroom, upon hearing these words, everyone could not help but feel invigorated

However, I did not expect that today would feel as if I had taken the wrong medicine, confronting Zhang Yun in such a manner is indeed rather strange

Especially Gu Jinnian

Gu Jinnian continued to inquire

Not only Liu Fuzhi, but the others were also somewhat curious, wondering what exactly Gu Jinnian had taken to be asking questions in every direction.

Are you done yet

Upon hearing this, Master Liu shook his head and said

Is it not the time to reach a higher realm, to wield the pen and command a million strong troops?

The sound rang out, and Master Liu felt somewhat frustrated

I curse your mother x

However, what Gu Jinnian said made Zhang Yun scoff in amusement

There were some doubts, but Gu Jinnian did not dare to ask directly, as such a question would surely invite reprimand

He is somewhat exasperated

As a prominent figure in the Great Xia, why should one concern oneself with such matters

What are this year's imperial examination questions

May I ask Master Liu, is there any truth to what the student has said

Do not make noise

One can tell from Liu Fuzis expression that his eyes are filled with disappointment towards Zhang Yun

Master Liu spoke up, shifting the topic while also reminding Zhang Yun of the most important matter

When Master Liu spoke, everyone present stood up in unison and bowed to him

Gu Jinnian is aware of all this; what he is curious about is the power contained within it

Zhang Yun felt a bit flustered after being retorted by Gu Jinnian, and for a long time, he didn't know what to say, so he could only utter this one sentence.

Liu Fuzhi: "... ... ."

The face may turn red

Ah ... this

Regarding immortals and Buddhas, Gu Jinnian was not particularly curious; it was merely about flying swords and seeking immortals. Moreover, the system of immortals and Buddhas involves causality and karma, which come with various restrictions

Are you full and have nothing to do

What abilities does the Confucianism and Taoism of the Seven Realms possess?

Gu Jinnian, you are being unreasonable in your arguments

It does not belong to the student

There is some anger, and also a sense of frustration, yet I am unable to refute it

Gu Jinnian nodded and said

"Master Liu, if Confucianism and Daoism cannot defeat the enemy, will composing poetry and writing lyrics not be surrounded by brilliance?"

The latter also did not wish for the situation to escalate, and upon seeing Gu Jinnian offer a way out, spoke up immediately

Zhang Yun's angry rebuke appeared somewhat petty in Gu Jinnian's eyes

Especially the smile on Master Liu's face appears somewhat stiff

Master, it is said that the higher the realm of the immortal path, the stronger the control over the forces of heaven and earth, capable of turning rivers and seas, and shifting the stars. What about the Confucian way?

In response to Gu Jinnian's inquiry, Master Liu nodded, choosing not to show favoritism towards Zhang Yun

Furthermore, those who hold a high position in Confucianism can suppress those in lower positions, yet this cannot be considered invincible

This has been the case throughout history. When you express profound truths, if others do not believe you, simply state that so-and-so said it, and immediately the value of that statement increases significantly

It is akin to an old man; although I merely exist in the realm of words, within a radius of one hundred zhang, demons and monsters see me as the true sun. With a single word from me, all demons and monsters within the four realms are struck as if by lightning

Master Liu continued to speak

Even Master Liu is assisting Gu Jinnian, what can he say

The Seven Realms of Confucianism and Daoism are as follows: cultivating one's spirit through reading, nurturing one's essence through understanding, establishing the teachings of the sages, embodying virtue through conduct, writing to convey the teachings, positioning oneself within the universe, and achieving sanctity and enlightenment

However, Gu Jinnian did not pay him any mind. It is fine to harbor resentment, but there is no need to continue being unpleasant, after all, Master Liu is present

Especially you, Zhang Yun, your talents are exceptional, and your father is a contemporary great scholar. As long as you give your all, you will be able to enter the Daxia Academy

If you have the ability, ask a question related to studying

Do not mention the grandson of the duke; even if the current crown prince were to arrive, he must behave modestly.

The classroom fell silent in an instant

To encourage them to read, their enthusiasm is generally moderate; however, upon hearing about the Confucian and Daoist systems, they naturally become interested

The sound interrupted what Zhang Yun was originally going to say

But this is the Wenshin Study.

Zhang Yun was somewhat exasperated

I do not know

Zhang Yun, what kind of behavior is this

It is only with the emergence of this answer that the sound arises

In other words, the Confucian and Daoist principles of this world cultivate the righteous and vast spirit, which is linked to the fortunes of heaven and earth. To harm scholars will invite retribution from heaven and earth

What is the concept of dynastic fortune? What is the concept of personal fortune? Unless you are a sage

The Confucian and Daoist systems are not meant for killing enemies; what you just said about a poem killing a million enemies is simply impossible

I do not constantly speak of the common people and their suffering

He knows that this world is not an ordinary one

The seven major systems, each of which is further divided into seven realms

Master Liu spoke up, deliberately offering a reminder

Return to the master

What is the Wenchuxing Jiu Dong and similar concepts

But before spitting, Zhang Yun couldn't help but roar out in anger

Next month, Daxia Academy will commence a new round of admissions

The sage has said, in order to benefit the people, one must first understand their needs. You speak incessantly of the common people, yet you are unaware of their basic necessities for food and clothing

As for whether this statement is a saying of the sage, Gu Jinnian does not care; as long as it is a profound truth, it is not incorrect to say that it was spoken by a sage

There exists an invincible presence there

In other words, for us scholars, the higher the realm we attain, the stronger the righteous spirit within us will be

It was not like this originally

Thought-provoking

Directly gazing at Gu Jinnian, the voice trembled as it spoke

What do you take us scholars for

Therefore, on ordinary days, Gu Jinnian behaves relatively well in the school, at least in front of Master Liu

Condensation

You do not know what you are asking me

still looking like one who is seeking to hold someone accountable

In an instant, Master Liu on the throne became furious

In an instant, the entire hall fell silent

Everyone should take a rest; the afternoon class will begin in one hour.

Gu Jinnian is very honest; who knows how expensive the essentials of life are

However, Gu Jinnian is not wrong; he does not constantly speak of the common people and their suffering, so it is understandable that he is unaware.

Gu Jinnian looked at Zhang Yun and slowly began to speak

Aren't you always talking about the well-being of all living beings?

Zhang Yun took a deep breath and looked at Master Liu

One could think of being a teacher, for the purpose of resolving their doubts. Liu Fuzhi could only suppress the frustration in his heart and look towards Gu Jinnian

Gu Jinnian spoke with a serious expression on his face

Zhang Yun : `` ... ... . ''

Unrestrained

As long as you are unsure whether or not it is true, then it is something the sage has said. Furthermore, the sage has spoken so much throughout his life that you cannot be certain whether he has ever said these words.

Ugh

Gu Jinnian feigned inquiry

Are you sick

Master Liu spoke, his tone somewhat gentle.

What is the imperial examination question? Do I need to know that I am just chatting with you here

It is the same in this world

What Jin Nian said is not without reason, Zhang Yun, remember this well, it is not a bad thing for you

Therefore, Gu Jinnian changed his approach to inquire

How laughable it is that you, still reading in your study, are unaware of the Seven Realms of Confucianism and Daoism, yet you dare to claim you can suppress a million strong army with your pen

From this point, it can be seen that this Master Liu still possesses professional ethics

Gu Jinnian spoke, looking at Master Liu

In their view, although Gu Jinnian is the grandson of a duke and often behaves arrogantly, it is merely within his own circle that he displays such arrogance.

In an instant, his expression became even more unpleasant

How has Gu Jinnian become so ... fierce after not seeing him for half a month

Even Wu An and Li Ping outside the hall fell silent

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhang Yun's expression instantly turned extremely unpleasant

He then turned his gaze towards Gu Jinnian, a gentle smile on his face

Isn't this just empty talk, merely adding to the jokes?

Why are there so many questions all day long

The crowd in the academy: "... ... ."

Master

After being oppressed by Gu Jinnian for an entire day, he finally found an opportunity and naturally had to retaliate with a scolding.

He remained silent

In the prosperous years, how much does one pound of coarse rice cost in cash?

The furious reprimand from Master Liu instantly awakened Zhang Yun

Gu Jinnian, you don't even know yourself, why are you asking me what to do

The general meaning is that once one becomes a scholar, one must adhere to the rules. Although there is the support of the heavens and the earth, when it comes to competing with a dynasty, it is still a dead end.

This is Confucianism and Daoism

However, with the support of heaven and earth, Confucianism and Daoism possess a vast and righteous spirit, unafraid of all the demons and monsters in the world.

A little patience will suffice

Do you know how many wen a pound of coarse rice costs

And Gu Jinnian had a complete understanding.

It is done

Master Liu nodded

As soon as the words were spoken, Master Liu's angry voice rang out

The student is unaware

Upon hearing what Master Liu had said, Gu Jinnian fell into a moment of silence

Therefore, it is categorized into the following: the Condensed Qi Tongsheng, the Nurtured Qi Juren, the Established Words Jinshi, the Established Virtue Rushi, the Transmitting Dao Daru, the Half-Saints of Heaven and Earth, and the Enlightened Saints.

Zhang Yun was even more bewildered, standing still for a long time without knowing what to say

Zhang Yun : `` ... ... . ''

In an instant, a wave of black energy once again emanated from Zhang Yun's body, merging into his mind.

Immortal Buddhas, Confucianism, martial arts, swordsmanship, and sorcery

Master, you have not yet assigned the coursework

Suppress the noise within the classroom

What does this have to do with coarse rice

Are you sick?

Are you deliberately trying to cause trouble

The ringing of the bell signifies the end of the morning class

A silence akin to death

It is done

In this way, would not the scholars be invincible in the world

If it were unacceptable to kill scholars, then both the founding emperor of the past and the current sovereign have indeed executed many scholars

What is the purpose of this?

to argue forcefully and unreasonably

At that moment, unexpectedly, the sound of the bell rang out

The face turned red with anger

I am talking to you about this, why do you always bring up coarse rice and coarse cloth

To compose a poem that evokes extraordinary phenomena in heaven and earth, one must at least possess the stature of a great scholar. Furthermore, this poem must be relevant to the occasion and the circumstances, and it should be of exceptional quality, a rarity indeed.

To be unaware of the common people's basic necessities such as firewood, rice, oil, and salt, yet to speak of the people with such grandeur, is indeed somewhat ostentatious

Master Liu began to speak, recounting the seven realms to Gu Jinnian

Gu Jinnian continued to ask

Now that Master Liu has mentioned this, Gu Jinnian can just ask about it.

So do you really know how many wen a pound of coarse cloth costs

Your uncle

Can a poem suppress a million valiant troops

Within the academy

Gu Jinnian raised his own questions

At this moment, Zhang Yun felt a surge of blood in his chest, almost on the verge of vomiting it out

Are we still spending our days looking at some bizarre and strange things, bringing out folk art to embarrass ourselves?

However, just as Master Liu was about to leave, Gu Jinnian's voice unexpectedly rang out

In the prosperous years, if there is nothing of importance, it is indeed best not to look into some folk creations

Therefore, Confucian scholars may speak frankly

A scholar must maintain inner clarity; if one were to sink into corruption and vice, it would lead to self-destruction of one's future

You should also learn well from Jin Nian; the well-being of all people is not merely a phrase to be spoken, but a principle to be deeply remembered.

Zhang Yun : `` ... ... . ''

This sentence serves to clarify the doubts that Gu Jinnian harbored in his heart

What intrigued Gu Jinnian the most was Confucianism and Daoism

You must review diligently and also study earnestly. For each enrollment at the Daxia Academy, at least three individuals from the study room can be admitted

Wretch

The Brocade Year

Who is really being unreasonable?

At the same time, Confucianism and Daoism inherently restrain demons and monsters, while everything else is no more

There is one more thing

Moreover, what was just said is merely a metaphor. If you are only in a position to speak and provoke those who should not be provoked, under the auspices of the dynasty's fortune, like a torrent rushing forth, individual strength remains insufficient

Gu Jinnian's response left Zhang Yun completely speechless

Everyone's gaze was filled with astonishment

After a brief moment of surprise, Gu Jinnian regained his composure.

It is unexpected that Zhang Yun would behave so inappropriately. One must understand that in terms of status, he is not even worth a finger of Gu Jinnian. If it were not for his father being a great scholar, what would he amount to?

Indeed, the way of the immortals is such; they consume the essence of the clouds and drink the vital energy, cultivating themselves. However, they must not become entangled in the causes and effects of the mortal world, which has both advantages and disadvantages

Gu Jinnian continued to inquire

Zhang Yun was so angry that he felt dizzy

He is really about to vomit blood

That works

In the end, Zhang Yun clenched his fist and shouted at Gu Jinnian.

The fruits among the ancient trees appear golden and seem as if they are about to ripen and fall to the ground.

Apart from this sentence, can you ask anything else

If one has not entered the Qi Condensation stage before the age of 18, it will be troublesome thereafter

Not to mention just having crossed over, even if it had been ten years since the crossing, Gu Jinnian would not seek to understand this

Gu Jinnian did not care about so much; he already had a grudge against Zhang Yun, and now that he needed resentment, he would naturally not let this opportunity slip by

Silence

Just quickly, Gu Jinnian thought of another question

Zhang Yun is very intelligent; he did not engage in a loud argument with Gu Jinnian in the classroom. On the contrary, he promptly admitted his mistake, leaving a good impression on everyone

Master Liu also felt a bit of a headache, having thought that Gu Jinnian truly understood some principles, but unexpectedly, it ended up like this

However, upon hearing this, Master Liu shook his head and said

Zhang Yun feels so nauseous, really, truly feels like vomiting

What Gu Jinnian just said is indeed very good, deserving of praise and commendation

However, Gu Jinnian remained calm

He has always valued Zhang Yun; in his view, the conflict between Gu Jinnian and Zhang Yun is nothing more than the misunderstandings typical among children

This time, do not lose the dignity of the study.

Moreover, we scholars are endowed with the support of the heavens and the earth. Anyone who acts against us will suffer the backlash of fate, whether an individual or a dynasty. Those who slaughter scholars will be despised by the heavens and the earth, and their fortune will be severed

It would be one thing to make a fuss on weekdays, but now to act so recklessly without justification, is this not courting death
