Chapter 266 Distress
Still too young.
Cardinal Xinxiu drank the tea alone, savoring the taste of the sweet tea flowing on the tip of his tongue, completely ignoring Yu Feiyu and Shangguan Yangyao's anxious expressions when they left.
Now the young people in Taihao Mountain are always making a fuss, and they are facing the enemy of the Academy and Neo Confucianism.
Whenever there is a breakthrough in Neo Confucianism, it will look like the world is falling apart.
Thousands of years ago, some scholars observed astronomy and found that a certain star had disappeared, denying that Taihao Mountain has ancient books about the stars that have never changed.
Four hundred years ago, the ships of the Sui Dynasty returned from sailing in the extreme depths of the endless sea, denying Taihao Mountain's statement that "the endless sea is an insurmountable barrier set by people".
Two hundred years ago, Xuegong Suzi took the overhaul as a means of overcoming the mighty wind, and brought back a sentence "There is nothing outside the sky", which overturned the ancient saying of "Elysium".
Every new discovery, in the eyes of some people, is a huge crisis for Taihao Mountain,
However, has the status of Taihao Mountain been shaken since the millennium?
Every household still enshrines the Haotian bell, and every town and city worships the Haotian bell.
The number of Haotian Taoist temples still far exceeds the sum of all religious temples.
Confucianism is not the flame that destroys Taihao Mountain. On the contrary, as the leader of Taihao Mountain’s compilation of classics, Cardinal Xinxiu recognized one thing very early on—only when he is complacent can he destroy Taihao Mountain.
"If you can destroy Yu State in one go, wipe out the academy, burn all the classics of Neo Confucianism, deter all people in the world with great terror, and prohibit them from thinking and exploring, then of course we can keep Taihao Mountain forever peaceful."
"It's just, it can't be done."
Cardinal Xinxiu was talking to himself, lifted the quilt, and stared at the crystal clear amber tea in the cup.
Haotian Faith was born in the era when humans and gods lived together. At that time, there were countless monsters and monsters.
People huddle in villages and towns, fearing the darkness and the unknown.
Every night, the morning light of tomorrow may not be visible.
is the prophet of Taihao Mountain, who spread the faith to all parts of the world. People believe in and follow the teachings of Haotian, build the Haotian Temple, enshrine the Haotian Bell, drive out the monsters step by step, and block them in the wild forest.
The original intention of Taihao Mountain was to serve Haotian herdsmen and protect those who believe in Haotian.
However, with the passage of time, some people have become accustomed to being in high positions, are greedy for power, and regard the herdsman duties bestowed by Haotian as their rightful authority.
It is not so much that they are afraid of the threat of Neo Confucianism to Taihao Mountain,
Rather, they are instinctively afraid of the threat of Neo Confucianism to their own authority.
Fear that the majesty of Taihao Mountain will no longer be, fear that you will lose power, and fear that future generations will not be able to attach to Taihao Mountain.
If young people are unconsciously infected with similar thinking in this weird atmosphere, then it is understandable.
But some old people in Taihaoshan, including Cardinal Xinxiu’s own colleagues and subordinates,
They also stepped on the shoulders of others to sit in today's position from the fierce competition, and they can also understand the subtle difference between "herdsmen for Haotian" and "herdsmen for Haotian",
But still so stubborn, so old-fashioned, so hypocritical.
“Neither the ability to change the status quo nor the courage to face the truth.”
Cardinal Xinxiu commented lightly.
People in Mount Taihao also used clocks and watches, ate food grown with Xuegong farming techniques, and wore gorgeous silks and satins woven with Xuegong techniques.
As history has proven countless times,
Drugs for treating malaria will not change the status of Mount Taihao,
The real threat to Haotian's faith is not in Yu State, not in the Academy, but inside Taihao Mountain.
Cardinal Xinxiu thought nonchalantly about the taboo content. Even just one sentence of the passage just now could trigger a bloodbath in Taihao Mountain.
From the humblest son of a shepherd to the position of cardinal step by step, he firmly believes that Haotian chose him and endowed him with a great mission in the dark.
But, not enough.
"Sir Headmaster, what exactly do you think?"
Cardinal Xinxiu recalled in his mind the man whose age and cultivation level could not be discerned, his brows were unconsciously furrowed.
click.
The teacup on the table shattered inexplicably, interrupting Cardinal Xinxiu's thoughts.
He lowered his head and looked at the slightly trembling teacup broken porcelain.
This kind of porcelain is his favorite Southern Zhou white porcelain.
It is made of the finest sand powder, the cup wall is extremely thin, full of beautiful cracks, and occasionally cracked by itself in the past.
Cardinal Xinxiu subconsciously wanted to perform divine magic to annihilate the broken porcelain pieces into ashes. When he raised his hand, he subconsciously performed the divination technique he learned when he was an apprentice many years ago.
"Ze Shui trapped, dangerous?"
Cardinal Xinxiu raised his eyebrows slightly as he looked at the results of the divination.
Chang'an City is the most powerful city in the world. There are countless prohibition formations in the city, and there are Zhenfusi and Xuegong guarding it. It couldn't be safer.
Cardinal Xinxiu himself is a first-class monk in the Zhuxiao Realm in the world.
This critical hexagram refers to yourself or the people around you,
Or does it refer to Chang'an City and Taihao Mountain?
——
dangdangdangdang—
With the ringing of the Haotian bell, the afternoon classes at the academy came to an end.
Li Ang picked up the national history textbook and notes on the table. It is really a headache to make up for the three-month class in a short time.
National history is a subject with a huge amount of text,
Dr. Wang Wenlun, who teaches national history, is also a great Confucian in Yu State, and never allows students to be sloppy.
I can only take it home at night and stay up late to make up my homework.
Li Ang sighed, and didn't sleep for a few nights when he returned to Chang'an. If this continues, he has no choice but to go to a doctor of agriculture to see if he can apply for some special medicinal materials that can help sleep and calm the nerves and improve sleep efficiency.
"Sunrise! Go!"
Li Wei slapped Li Ang on the shoulder and ran towards the classroom door, "The ring competition will start soon!"
"Is it that urgent."
Li Ang shook his head helplessly. Only students from Listening Rain Realm and Xunyun Realm can participate in the group arena. Li Wei and the others don't even have the qualifications to sign up, so they can mostly watch the fun.
"If you go late, there will be no seats."
Yang Yu also packed up his books and ran to the door quickly. There is no such thing as earmuffs in the academy. Seats in the martial arts arena are first come, first served.
It wasn't just the two of them, the sound of intensive footsteps echoed throughout the supervisory building.
Even Dou Chi and others on the other side of the classroom hurriedly packed up their textbooks, surrounded Pei Jing and rushed out.
"See you tomorrow, Dr. Wen Lun."
Pei Jing bid farewell to Wang Wenlun politely, and before leaving, she took a special look at Li Ang and nodded to him.
"Um?"
Li Ang didn't understand, so Yang Yu curled his lips and explained: "Pei Jing has already listened to the rain scene. Among the students who have worked for three years, he is only slower than He Fanshuang. He signed up for the group arena this time. It means to let you practice Hurry up, don't lose your reputation as the top three in the academy for three years."
You put this aside for reading comprehension, so much content can be interpreted with one look.
Li Ang shook his head with a smile, seeing Suzhou water poisoning, this kind of quarrel between teenagers seems too petty, "He also listened to the rain, and it was pretty fast.
Let's go too. "
