In the world of the Great Song Dynasty, the timeline is turning rapidly. Before people know it, the time has come to a month later.

A month is a short time, so short that even if it is placed on an ordinary person, it is difficult to cause much impact and change.

Not to mention the transcendentals like Fang Yan, who have begun to set foot in the transcendent and get rid of the influence of the limit of mortal lifespan.

In formal wizards, especially second-level wizards like dialects, if they want to see any major changes, the unit of time is estimated to be calculated on the basis of ten or hundred years. For a month, sometimes he might just do a random witchcraft experiment and it would pass quietly.

But for the Suzaku Dao Palace, which has only appeared for a long time, the changes in the past month have been quite eye-catching.

Located in the southern suburbs of Bianliang, not far from the Suzaku Mountain, itself is a mountain range with a lot of fame in the Great Song Dynasty, although it was a little silent because of the Xuanyuan Temple at the beginning of the year, but since it was occupied by the national teacher who is said to be from outside the sky, Suzaku Mountain has gradually regained its fame. It is even more prosperous than when it was occupied by Xuanyuan Temple before.

In this, there is the promotion of the Great Song royal family, and some of the big families are deliberately showing favor to the dialect. Searching for the reason, it is inseparable from the disciples of the family and the royal family who officially entered Suzaku Mountain a month ago.

After the qualification test a month ago, fifty teenagers, a total of eight of them finally entered the dialect sect and became official disciples of the Vermilion Bird Dao Palace.

As for the other teenagers who did not pass the test, they could only leave the mountain with a gloomy heart.

Among these eight disciples, three were sent by the Daomen, namely Lin Mo of Baiyun Temple, Zhang Chengde of Longhu Mountain, and Chu Ping of the Wudang Qingwei School.

These three people are all examples of entering the Daomen to receive cultural edification since they were children, if they were not too young, I am afraid they would have been the true Taoists who officially inherited the Taoist name and entered the Daomen talisman.

For these three people, Fang Yan is extremely satisfied, not only because they all have excellent Dao bone qualifications, but also because they are extremely proficient in Taoist classics.

Just as you have to learn the basics to become a wizard, the practice of the Way of the Divine Soul also requires some basic knowledge.

The difference is that the sorcerer apprentice needs to learn things such as "Basic Analysis of Shadow Energy" and "Preliminary Human Anatomy", while Taoist priests who practice the way of the divine soul need to learn all kinds of Taoist classics.

Although the things to learn are very different, the principles are probably the same, and it can be said that in essence, they are all aimed at cultivating a method of observation and learning that is unique to the practitioner of all things in the world.

To put it in layman's terms, it is also a world view.

Compared with this way of thinking, those superficial knowledge and skills have become more minor.

Of course, those wizard apprentices or Dao children themselves don't think so. It was only after he became an official wizard that he had a clearer understanding of this aspect.

When he looked back and thought about the things he had learned before, he suddenly found that the seemingly basic knowledge had actually carved the way of thinking that a qualified wizard should have, and through the process of thinking and studying those knowledge again and again, deeply into his own habits.

This is the biggest takeaway from dialects in the wizard's apprenticeship stage.

In fact, when the dialect has a complete wizarding way of thinking, everything in this world is only two concepts for him.

One is "known" and the other is "known after research".

That's the most frightening thing about wizards.

In a way, wizards, like scientists in the physical universe, have a strong curiosity about unfamiliar things and a strong desire to study them. When a wizard encounters an unfamiliar object, the first thing they think of is not to reject or destroy it like ordinary people, but to take it back to their own laboratory to study what its structure is made of and why it has those functions.

This curiosity can be said to be the biggest driving force for the continuous progress of wizarding civilization. It is precisely because of the efforts of countless wizarding sages with this "curiosity" for generations that the wizarding civilization at its peak can even rely on its own strength to compete with the extreme glory of countless civilized worlds.

Although she quickly declined after a flash in the pan, it was precisely because of the profound accumulation of the year that it ensured that the current wizarding world can still be called a large civilized world after it has declined a lot.

The topic is a bit far away, so let's continue to talk about the situation of these disciples who worship the Vermilion Bird Dao Palace. The three who were born in the Daomen, because they have cultivated the way of thinking that a qualified Taoist priest should have in the process of education they received since childhood, they have saved a lot of effort before starting to practice the Dao of the Divine Soul, and they only need to accept some basic knowledge of the Dao on the side of the Harry Potter world to start practicing the exercises.

As for the remaining five people, except for Zhao Shixun, who came in through the "back door" because of the agreement with the Great Song Dynasty royal family because of the dialect, he had ordinary Dao bone qualifications, but the other four people also had excellent Dao bone qualifications. It's just that compared with the three people of Daomen, they are more than a step weaker in their understanding of Taoist culture. His own thinking habits are also very different from the way of thinking that a Taoist priest should have, and he needs to receive a short period of cultural education before he can start the formal cultivation process.

Zhao Shijie, Chen Cen, Sima Yunhu, and Zhang Biao are the few people selected except Zhao Shixun. Among them, Zhao Shijie is a child of the royal family, Chen Cen is the son of the prime minister's family, and they can be said to be from prominent families, but the other two are also not simple.

Sima Yunhu was born in the Sima family, a great family in the south of the Yangtze River, which is a thousand-year-old family that is not inferior to the royal family, and has an extremely prominent prestige in the entire southern region.

Even if it weren't for the fact that the Great Song Dynasty had been firmly in control of the military power of the whole country, so that the Sima family had to be jealous and reined in, maybe the decrees of the imperial court would not be as effective as the Sima family's words in the entire Jiangnan region.

And Sima Yunhu is the son of the contemporary head of the Sima family, although he has no inheritance rights in the family, he is extremely favored. And Sima Yunhu himself is also angry, he can indeed be regarded as a genius, not only can he compose poems when he was only seven years old, but also has his own achievements in the skills of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Now Sima Yunhu is only fifteen years old, and he is already a famous talent with a reputation. was even touted by some well-intentioned people as the head of the four great talents in Jiangnan.

As for the last Zhang Biao, his family background is not simple, not only was he born in a family of generals, but his father also serves as the general commander of the current Great Song Dynasty Janissary Army.

Don't underestimate the official position of the general commander of the Praetorian Guard, although it is not high in terms of rank, it can actually control the 200,000 Praetorian Guards near Bianliang Kyoto.

These 200,000 Praetorian Guards are different from the general army of the Great Song Dynasty, and each of the soldiers in them can be called the elite of the elite. Even in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army, the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard were required to forcibly retire as soon as they reached the age of forty, and only the youngest and strongest soldiers could stay.

The combat effectiveness of such an army can naturally be imagined.

What's more, it is also specially used to guard the imperial capital and guard the emperor.

It is also for this reason that the position of commander-in-chief of this army has become extremely important. It can be said that if it were not for the person who was deeply trusted by the emperor, he would not be able to do this position no matter what.

In addition, in addition to the reason of family background, Zhang Biao himself is also a rising star who is highly expected by the family, and has an extremely rare "fierce general's capital".

is also fifteen years old, Zhang Biao is naturally unable to compare with Sima Yunhu in the way of literature, but in martial arts, Zhang Biao can throw Sima Yunhu out of sight.

Even more exaggerated, it can be said that more than half of the generals of the entire Great Song Dynasty military may not be the opponent of this fifteen-year-old boy.

Even in terms of strength alone, Zhang Biao may be one or two levels stronger than the one that Fang Yan met when he first came to this world, Chen Wu, who had a natural strength because of his extraordinary talent.
