The headquarters of Confucianism is on the Taixuan Mountain, and the temples are on the peak of the Taixuan Mountain, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty sacrifices to the sky every time, prays for the wind and rain, and is held in the temples of the Taixuan Mountain.

However, the Taixuan Mountains stretch for thousands of miles, the mountains are stacked on top of each other, the dangerous peaks stand upright, the most is a number of mountains and waterfalls, there are four peaks, eight valleys and twelve rivers.

These four peaks refer to the four majestic peaks around Taixuan Mountain, each of which is high but not dangerous, steep but not lonely, facing each other in pairs, and is a wonder.

At this time, many young people who are studying are crowded in the square at the foot of Taixuan Mountain, the noise is very noisy, and they wait until the sun is in the sky, and then they walk down the next middle-aged man from the towering stairs of the mountain.

The middle-aged man's gaze swept away, very majestic, and all the people who looked at him bowed their heads in awe, which made him very satisfied.

"In the Lower Confucian Sect, I will teach Zhao Yan, and I will briefly tell you about this apprenticeship ceremony. The four major academies of Confucianism, Tiandao Academy, Datong Academy, Zhongyong Academy, and Lifa Academy, belong to Tiandao Peak, Datong Peak, Zhongyong Peak, and Lifa Peak. ”

Zhao Yan opened his mouth lightly, but the voice clearly entered everyone's ears, and when he finished speaking, the crowd was in a sensation, and many people's faces changed, it was already noon, there was not much time, and it was obviously not easy to climb the mountain, and suddenly many people rushed to the direction of their favorite academy.

The four major academies are on the four peaks around Taixuan Mountain, each of which is extremely steep, and the clouds cover the mist.

Although theoretically, anyone can choose their favorite academy at will, but the teaching philosophy of each academy is actually different, and if the concept does not match, even if it passes the test, it will not be reused, and it will be arranged to do some miscellaneous work and other work.

And after the anxious people in the square were almost gone, Zhao Yancai said again: "Okay, what I just said is the assessment of the outer disciples, if you want to enter the inner gate, you must continue the assessment of Tiandao Peak, Datong Peak, Zhongyong Peak and Lifa Peak, and then return here, and the inner disciples only accept seventy-two in total, if you come late, you won't have your share." ”

"It's so treacherous, this kind of crucial information is not said all at once. ”

The rest of the people in the square were in an uproar, this Zhao Yan was too inauthentic, those who walked in front didn't know the news, it was definitely impossible to enter the inner courtyard of the Confucian Gate. At this moment, many people left.

After a while, Zhao Yan said with satisfaction: "Those who can wait until this time are all patient people, then I will talk about the assessment of the true disciples, you need to obtain the pen on the Heavenly Dao Peak, the ink on the Datong Peak, the paper on the Zhongyong Peak, and the inkstone on the Rite Law Peak, and get these four items." There are only twelve True Transmission disciples in total, so you have to hurry. ”

The crowd was another sensation, and a bunch of people walked away again.

In the end, Zhao Yan said lightly: "What I want to announce now is the most important news, after getting the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and then ascending the Temple of the Temples of Taixuan Mountain, worshipping the saints, and passing the assessment of the saints, you can become a disciple." Moreover, there is only one place for the lineage disciples. ”

After speaking, Zhao Yan waved his wide sleeves and led the two boys back to Taixuan Mountain.

"This year's assessment is so difficult, and it is impossible to become a disciple of the lineage. Gu Er spit out her fragrant tongue with a look of despair, "Even if you are a disciple of the inner court, it will be difficult for me." ”

At this time, Ye Tiancai understood how precious Lu Qingshan's identity as a descendant disciple promised him was, but he had no regrets, his goal was just to join the inner courtyard of Confucianism, of course, if he had the opportunity to go further, he would not refuse.

"Let's go. Ye Tian said flatly, "You follow me, let's go to Lifa Peak first." ”

Ye Tian glanced at Zhao Yan who disappeared into the sea of clouds, as if he remembered something in his heart, but he still had a calm expression on his face.

The four peaks can be climbed casually, and if you feel that it is not suitable to climb it, you can go down the mountain and change it again, so Lin Yi and Gu Er didn't say anything.

There are mountain roads leading directly to the peaks from the square, and after identifying the direction, Ye Tian should go forward first, and come to the foot of the Lifa Peak, which is a white step like jade, winding and winding, and you can feel a faint coercion spread in the air.

As soon as he stepped forward, Ye Tian suddenly felt a huge pressure sweeping in all directions, about to crush him to the ground.

"This is Haoran righteousness. ”

Ye Tian looked carefully, at this moment, the entire Rite Law Peak was filled with Haoran righteousness, no matter which direction he climbed, he could not escape the pressure of Haoran righteousness.

He gently manipulated the changes of heaven and earth, which offset the suppression of Haoran's righteousness, and then looked at Gu Er and Lin Yi, both of their faces were a little solemn, and now they were only at the foot of the mountain, and it was conceivable that the higher they went, the greater the pressure would be.

But they couldn't back down, and they all walked up immediately.

Along the way, strange flowers and plants continued, the scenery was very quiet, Ye Tian walked leisurely, walking neither fast nor slow, enjoying the scenery along the way, his breath was very indifferent, it seemed that the ubiquitous Haoran righteousness and coercion had no effect on him at all.

On the steps a little behind him, Gu Er and Lin Yi were both struggling to climb, and with each step, they seemed to use all the strength of their bodies.

"I'm so tired, I feel like I'm going to collapse, and I want to sit down and rest for a while. ”

Gu Er complained, beads of sweat flowing down her delicate little face.

Lin Yi was also wheezing, but his cultivation was one level higher than Gu'er, his physical strength was not to mention, and his will was also tenacious, so he could still persevere.

Seeing Gu Er's appearance, Ye Tian frowned slightly, at this rate, he didn't want to climb the four peaks today.

He came to Gu Er's side, grabbed the soft palm of his opponent, and said, "I'll take you away, Lin Yi, speed up, we have to hurry." ”

Ye Tian's power poured into Gu Er's body, and suddenly, Ye Tian felt a huge pressure sweeping over, and the coercion he was bearing suddenly doubled.

And Gu Er was surprised to find that the coercion that had been pressing on her disappeared in an instant, and she was surprised and happy for a while, and hurriedly followed Ye Tian's footsteps.

Confucianism does not prohibit such behavior, Ye Tian is equivalent to transferring the pressure that originally belonged to Gu'er to himself, and doubling it as a punishment.

Ordinary genius powerhouses would not do this at all, because their goals were so high that they were all chasing the position of true disciples, how could they consume their own strength at will?

It's just that Gu Er's liveliness and cuteness along the way have brought Ye Tian a lot of fun, and Ye Tian doesn't mind helping Gu Er once.

With Ye Tian sharing the pressure, Lin Yi also broke out, their speed was getting faster and faster, and the academy on the top of the mountain was already in sight.

At this time, at the top of the Heavenly Dao Peak, in a large hall, there was a mirror like a water curtain suspended in the air, which was very huge.

From the mirror, you can see the situation of the four peaks, and many students who participated in the assessment can vividly remember it.

"Eleventh Prince, with my Void Mirror, the surrounding scenes can be observed within a hundred miles. ”

Qian Yilou smiled at a noble young man beside him.

The young man was dressed in a golden robe embroidered with a dragon, with an innate pride.

And in the youth, there is another person, who is Wei You.

"Brother Bai, it's him, Ye Tian!"

Suddenly, Wei You's eyes widened, and when he saw Ye Tian on the Rite Law Peak, he immediately screamed.

The eleventh prince glanced at the Void Mirror and said expressionlessly: "The mountain village man, he has no reverence for the Confucian Holy Land. ”

"It's him. Qian Yilou's eyes froze, looking a little gloomy.

"Brother Qian, this person can't let him pass the assessment, it's better to sweep him out of the house. Wei You said coldly.

A trace of light shot out of Qian Yilou's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Although I have the Void Mirror, I can only control the magic circle of the Heavenly Dao Peak, and I can't do anything about the other peaks." ”

"It's okay, little people. ”

The eleventh prince didn't take Ye Tian to heart at all, just glanced at it, and then stopped paying attention.

Qian Yilou also smiled: "He will definitely not be able to pass the pass here with me, and he can only go to the outer gate at that time, I will arrange a miscellaneous servant for him casually, and go to the back mountain to dive and chop firewood for twenty years, even if he is a genius, he will be wasted." ”

For Ye Tian, Qian Yilou secretly hated in his heart, he personally sat in Tiandao Peak, wasn't it just for this moment?

To his surprise, now even the eleventh prince has a problem with Ye Tian, and he just pulled the eleventh prince out as a shield, so he can shirk it if something happens.

Ye Tian didn't know that someone was secretly preparing to deal with him, he pulled Gu Er all the way and came to a stone forest, there was a stone tablet by the pool, on which were engraved two words - Yan Mountain.

The whole inkstone mountain, all present a pitch-black color, exudes a faint fragrance, there are trees, flowers, birds, moon and other landscapes on it, the streamer surges, giving people a very strange feeling, as if this strange mountain has life.

"This is the Yan Mountain, in the Yan Mountain, there is the essence of the Yan Mountain, but ordinary people can't find it at all. ”

Gu Er obviously knew the situation of Confucianism very well, she said: "Everyone can only get a piece of the essence of Yanshan, I can't get it, even if I get it, it's useless, I'm going to leave the Rite Law Academy." ”

She just accompanied Xia Nan to study, and it was the same there, the four academies were independent of each other and interconnected, and they could visit at will, no matter which academy Xia Nan went to, it would have no effect on Gu'er.

Ye Tian didn't say anything, this was Gu Er's choice, the inkstone mountain in front of him didn't look big, which made him a little puzzled by the so-called "essence of the inkstone".

Immediately, he took the lead in walking in, stepping into the inkstone mountain, and suddenly there was a shock, as if he had come to a new world.

It is a world composed entirely of black, but the colors are dark and light, the dark is the earth, the light black is the trees, animals, and birds, and the gray is the flowers, and the light gray is the sky.

For a moment, Ye Tian was a little stunned.
