In their eyes, Yunshan Academy is also a holy place.

But in the final decision, they still chose the imperial examination.

At the same time, when they choose the imperial examination route, they lose the qualification to enter Yunshan Academy.

This is the rule of Yunshan Academy, and it is also the confidence of Yunshan Academy.

It just lets you choose one of the two, and only gives you one chance.

"To have such a vast academy suspended in the clouds, you have to be so awesome." Just as the other four were shocked and sighing, Ning Chen's voice came, directly destroying the shocking feeling.

Although the word bragging is new to them.

But we are all scholars, and if we understand it a little, we will understand the irony in it.

"Ning Chen, this is the Holy Land of Confucianism and Taoism. Now that you have reached the level of Confucianism and Taoism, you should have a newfound respect for saints." The second-ranked scholar became angry and scolded Ning Chen righteously.

"I must be in awe of saints. I'm talking about this academy. This academy was not established by a saint, right? I remember that the Confucian saints did not establish any academies." Ning Chen counterattacked unceremoniously.

road.

"Even if this place was not created by the Confucian saints, it is the Confucian saints who are enshrined here, and it is the place with the most books written by the Confucian saints. This place represents the orthodoxy of Confucianism and Taoism, which means it represents the Confucian saints!" Tanhua also joined in at this time, crusade.

Ning Chen's procession.

Ning Chen chuckled: "This is the first time I heard that Confucian saints still need to be represented. How much do you have to look down on Confucian saints to think that an academy can represent Confucian saints."

"Ning Chen, you are changing the concept. You are really insulting the Confucian saint." Tanhua was so angry that her neck turned red.

"Is this what you said to me about Jijiu Jiu?" Ning Chen ignored Tanhua at all and asked Kong Jijiu with a smile.

Whether they are ranked second or ranked third in the rankings, in Ning Chen's opinion, their combat effectiveness is not at the same level as his own.

It’s not that their knowledge is not good, it’s mainly that they take Confucianism and Taoism too seriously.

"Ning Chen is right. If Yunshan Academy wants to represent Confucian saints, they are still far behind." Kong Jijiu confirmed Ning Chen's words, and at the same time, his tone was full of disdain for Yunshan Academy.

Ning Chen said the four of them dared to refute, but Kong Jijiu said they really didn't dare to refute.

Whether it is the imperial grade or the Confucian and Taoist grade, Kong Jijiu is far above them.

Kong Jijiu glanced at Yunshan Academy towering in the clouds: "Do you really think it was built in the clouds?"

This is towering in the clouds, why should this be serious or not?

"Think about its name and you should understand it." Kong Jijiu reminded the five people.

"Yunshan Academy."

"Yunshan Academy."

After repeating it twice, Ning Chen's eyes suddenly lit up and he instantly understood what was going on.

"Not only can I brag, but I can also pretend to be awesome." Ning Chen sneered, and his opinion of Yunshan Academy could not help but lower a bit.

The other four obviously haven't figured out the mystery yet, so they all looked at Ning Chen.

"It is difficult to build an academy on the clouds.

But it is much easier to hide a mountain.

After all, it’s just a matter of blowing a breath.”

Ning Chen was not stingy and explained to the four of them.

After listening to Ning Chen's explanation, the four of them immediately understood.

The so-called academy built on the clouds is actually just built on the mountain.

It is very difficult to build an academy on the cloud. It is very difficult.

But it would be much easier to build the academy on the top of a mountain and then hide the mountain.

And when it comes to operation, it's just like Ning Chen said, just blow on it and it'll be fine.

"I still want to represent the Confucian saint, but don't embarrass the Confucian saint." Ning Chen didn't forget to add one sentence.

"My little friend, your mouth is really too vicious." As soon as Ning Chen finished his voice, a tall scholar with a stocky body, wearing a wide robe and long sleeves and a white scholar's shirt, appeared in front of Ning Chen and the others.

Look at the rather stocky scholar opposite, and then look at Kong Jijiu.

Ning Chen felt that the reason why Kong Jijiu was unwilling to stay at Yunshan Academy might be because they had different outlooks.

"Little friend, Yunshan Academy has always been built on the mountain. It has never been said that it is built on the clouds.

The reason why the mountains are covered with clouds is because this in itself is a test for students who want to enter school.

There is a road in Yunshan called [Diligence is the Path], which is a test for students." The short, fat scholar said to Ning Chen.

Ning Chen did not leave to respond, but looked at Kong Jijiu.

Kong Jijiu gave Ning Chen one. You can do whatever you want. The look in my eyes immediately made Ning Chen energetic.

"Then you called it Shanshan Academy, okay? What did you call Yunshan Academy? Is this obviously a deliberate misunderstanding?"

"The name of Yunshan Academy was built here more than a hundred years earlier than Yunshan Academy. It is not intentionally misleading." The short, fat scholar Fu explained.

"You can change your name. It's too late now." Ning Chen suggested positively.

Kong Jijiu also echoed: "I think it's okay. The Peak Academy is simple and direct. Scholars should be simpler."

After hearing what Kong Jijiu said, Ning Chen and the short, fat scholar both silently rolled their eyes at Kong Jijiu.

It wouldn't be against the law to say this from anyone else's mouth, but to say it from Kong Jijiu's mouth is really against the law as much as possible.

Among scholars, he is the most flashy.

He also makes it simple for others.

"It seems that my little friend has no idea about our Yunshan Academy. Why don't I make an exception and let you take the [Diligence as Path] once." The short, fat scholar invited Ning Chen and said.

Ning Chen didn't even think about it and just shook his head: "I won't go."

The short, fat scholar didn't expect Ning Chen to refuse so simply, so he couldn't help but ask: "Are you afraid that we will take action against you secretly?"

"I, Master Kong, are here, and you want to take action against me." At this time, you must bring Kong Jijiu along. After all, you can be crazy in someone else's territory, but you can't be crazy without any backing, screaming like crazy without a backer.

The short, fat scholar took a look at Kong Jijiu, who was polite but proud, and then continued to ask Ning Chen, "Are you afraid that you won't be able to climb to the top?"

Ning Chen shook his head: "I'm afraid of climbing to the top."

The short, fat scholar was puzzled after hearing Ning Chen's words.

If you are so confident about reaching the summit, why refuse?

"Isn't this obvious enough? If I reach the top, you will say that I am not what I am and that I am just pretending. Why should I give you such an excuse?"

"Of course, if I don't succeed in climbing to the top, you will say, look, do you understand Yunshan Academy now?

It’s me who suffers from both sides, so why should I cooperate with you?”

Chapter 23 Why don’t you grab it?

After Ning Chen finished speaking, the short and fat scholar didn't say anything. Instead, Kong Jijiu put his hands on his hands and said with a smile: "Yes, that's right. It's true that he is the disciple I taught and he never suffers."

"Why don't you let me in if I don't cooperate with you? Can I just stand outside?" Kong Jijiu looked at the short and fat scholar and asked.

"Please." The short, fat scholar was quite civilized. He raised his hand and directly invited Kong Jijiu and the six of them to enter Yunshan Academy.

Ning Chen and the other five followed Kong Jijiu and entered Yunshan Academy together.

Ning Chen didn't feel much about Yunshan Academy, but the other four had a pilgrim mentality from the moment they entered.

After passing through layers of clouds and mist, Ning Chen and the others landed at the entrance of the academy.

The gate of Yunshan Academy is not as tall and luxurious as Ning Chen thought. On the contrary, it is very simple.

But because of Haoran's righteousness, even the simplest things will make people feel that they are extremely noble.

Perhaps this is exactly what it is, reading is the cheapest noble thing.

Moreover, the gate of Yunshan Academy has no threshold.

This is also in line with what the Confucian sages said at that time: there is no distinction between education and distinction.

The Confucian sage’s teaching without distinction is true teaching without distinction, not just the human race.

Even if you are a non-human race, if you want to devote yourself to Confucianism and Taoism, Confucian sages will welcome you.

Of course, if a non-human race wants to enter this door, the first thing they must do is to generate awe-inspiring righteousness.

Otherwise, you won't even be able to get in through this door.

Haoran's righteousness is harmless to humans, but to non-humans, the damage can be fatal.

Therefore, it is not an empty talk that those who have great righteousness will be immune to all evils.

At the same time, Haoran's righteousness is also a method used by humans to distinguish evil spirits.

There are Confucian masters in each of the nine gates of Fengjing City, and they have spread the awe-inspiring righteousness to test everyone who enters the nine gates.

Once an evil spirit is discovered, he will be killed on the spot without mercy.

After passing through the gate of Yunshan Academy, the clouds and fog completely dissipated before my eyes.
