Chapter 9: Dean Shen's Mood
From the moment Wang Tianci entered Hongdu Academy, Shen Xiu secretly observed the whole thing. He was another person who clearly heard Gao Ming's instructions on Zhang Bu's swordsmanship.
Shen Xiu is a person who never forgets.
He can be sure that this sweeping handyman is an ordinary handyman in his Hongdu Academy, and when he became the dean of Hongdu Academy, this person was in it. He immediately sought out the steward in charge of the miscellaneous servants, and asked the steward to find out the clever files. What made him even more interested was that this person's file turned out to be secret!
When he saw that the miscellaneous file was covered with the word "secret", the steward rubbed his eyes in surprise, suspecting that he had read it wrong. This man is just a handyman!
But the steward is a strict person, since it is a "secret" document, then you have to go through the procedure of a "secret" document. I saw that he carefully opened the file bag, first took out the borrowing list, and saw that the history on it was not borrowed, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. First, after asking Shen Xiu to fill in the name and date carefully, he took out the file and handed it to Shen Xiu. But he didn't leave, until Shen Xiu finished reading and handed it back to him, he carefully put it in the file bag, and then saluted, and then left Shen Xiu's room.
This boy was sent in thirteen years ago to become a registered handyman, and at that time the person in charge of personnel was not the same steward as before. Who sent him in, and who decided to position this young man's file as "secret"?
It's weird.
Hongdu Academy is not an ordinary place, and the people who work as handymen in it are basically able to come in because of their relationships, and Shen Xiu knows this. The first batch to come in, however, many were the descendants of the cultivators who died in the Liangzhou rebellion with the general Ma Long. But then very few entered.
Shen Xiu is an extremely rigorous person, and when he encounters a problem, he usually has to do his best to figure it out.
The form on the young man's file as to whether he had the talent for cultivation was blank, indicating that the person who sent him in was just finding him an errand to settle down.
But this young man's talent in swordsmanship is so outstanding, no, Shen Xiu immediately changed a word in his heart, shocking the world!
Zhang Bu's swordsmanship was enough in Shen Xiu's eyes. With the foundation of Zhangbu in swordsmanship, as long as he has been honing on the battlefield for a year and a half, he will definitely be able to go to a higher level, and he can already be regarded as the best in swordsmanship in the entire empire.
But this young man, as a civilian, had no access to systematic training and teaching at all, and at most he observed the swordsmanship practice of those students in the academy every day.
If it is possible to instruct a cultivator like Zhang Bu, who has been immersed in swordsmanship for almost thirty years, through observation, then isn't this talent shocking?
Didn't the person who sent this boy in the first place know?
Or is this young man not talented in cultivating truth at all, and no matter how good his swordsmanship talent is, it has no value at all?
I'm afraid that this young man doesn't have any talent for cultivating truth at all, right?
Shen Xiu felt that this inference should be the truth.
It's a pity that he has such an amazing swordsmanship talent, he shook his head, and felt very sorry in his heart. If you can't become a cultivator, you can't refine your body. Regardless of the speed of strength, the gap between civilians and cultivators is even greater than the gap between children and adults. No matter how good the swordsmanship is, it is useless in the face of absolute strength and speed.
It's like Zhang Bu defeating Wang Tianci, relying on strength to suppress!
One force will drop ten.
How many kinds of talents in history who are amazingly gifted in many aspects are buried in the long river of history because they can't cultivate the truth. The gap between cultivators and non-cultivators is a gap that cannot be bridged.
But, no matter what, Zhang Bu won Wang Tianci!
This is very important.
Even if Wang Tianci Zhang Bu and even some people who secretly observed it knew in their hearts that Zhang Bu was guided by others to win Wang Tianci, Wang Tianci admitted his defeat in public!
There's no going to change that!
The demeanor of the family!
Shen Xiu has always been very dissatisfied with the exquisite demeanor of the family in his heart, he feels that this kind of thing is very fake and empty, and it is very unnecessary. But at this moment, he had to rejoice that Wang Tianci's demeanor was really like the two three dukes in his family.
If Wang Tianci used the excuse that Zhang Bu was instructed to come over again, Shen Xiu knew in his heart that Zhang Bu would not be able to win against Wang Tianci. This battle finally forced Wang Tianci to compete with Zhang Bu for strength, which was a very accidental thing, with Wang Tianci's understanding of swordsmanship, another game would definitely avoid this situation again.
Fortunately, this result was the best for Shen Xiu.
The Maison has always been opposed to Hongdu Academy. The abolished crown prince Fu Yu has always had close contacts with the family, and his thoughts and remarks reveal a strong bias towards the family.
And Queen Jia Zhi insisted on supporting Hongdu College.
These things may not be understood by many cultivators in the Great Jin Dynasty at all, but for the politicians in Shangluo, these are as obvious as lice on a bald head.
Many people say that the current Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty relied on his son to finally ascend to the throne, which seems to be the public opinion of everyone in the Great Jin Dynasty. But Shen Xiu didn't think so.
Emperor Fu Yan of the Jin Dynasty was eloquent, although he relied on the support of the family gate lord to successfully be conceded by Emperor Zhou Shun, but after he pacified the Gongsun regime that had been in Western Shu for more than 50 years, he began to promote a large number of Han men to try to fight against these people from the high-ranking families who occupied the mainstream of the court. Of course, Emperor Wu of Jin did not go into battle himself, he used Jia Chong, the father of Empress Jia Zhi.
Emperor Fu Yan of the Jin Wu Emperor has a total of sixteen sons, of which there are six who are talented, and these six do not include the current Emperor Fu Zhen of the Great Jin Dynasty. However, only Huang Fu Zhen did not have close contacts with the family back then, and only Huang Fu Zhen fully supported Emperor Wu of Jin to establish Hongdu College! And in the end, Emperor Wu of Jin married Jia Chong's eldest daughter Jia Zhi for Huang Fu Zhen.
In Shen Xiu's view, Hongdu Academy is the last position of the Hanmen!
And Shen Xiu saw through this, so he persuaded Huang Fulun, the king of Zhao, who was originally the military governor of Liangzhou and Yongzhou, to support Huang Fuxin instead. Shen Xiu was originally a subordinate of Emperor Fulun of Zhao before he became the dean of Hongdu College. And just three months ago, when the crown prince Fuyu was just paid, and the hearts of the people in Shangluo City were moved, it was Zhao Wang Huang Fulun who personally led 5,000 elites from Chang'an to enter Shangluo City overnight, which finally made the political force in Shangluo City have to calm down.
Therefore, in Shen Xiu's view, Wang Tianci's challenge this time is a counterattack by the family Gaomen against the abolition of Huangfu Yu. Situ Wang Rong, Taiwei Wang Yan, the two old foxes, although they ostensibly supported Empress Jia Zhi to abolish the crown prince Fuyu, but they were the high-ranking members of the family, and it was impossible for them to betray the high-ranking family members. As for what they want to achieve this time, Shen Xiu doesn't know. But Wang Tianci is defeated, so don't talk about everything that follows.
Therefore, Dean Shen is in a good mood now!
Many people don't know the inside story of the abolition of the crown prince, but Shen Xiu knows it very well, because he has done a lot of work behind the scenes, and it can also be said that he is the mastermind, but he always stands behind Zhao Wang Huang Fu Lun, and Zhao Wang Huang Fu Lun stands behind Queen Jia Zhi.
Hmph, the masters of the family, finally one day I, Shen Xiu, will change the situation where you cover the sky with one hand, and I, Shen Xiu, want to let the world's largest Hanmen also have a large number of cultivation resources!
"Lord Dean, Zhao Yu has come to pay a respect!" Just as his thoughts were fluttering, a familiar voice came to mind outside his room.
"Please come in!" Shen Xiu valued Zhang Bu very much, but Shen Xiu valued Zhao Yu even more. Although on the surface, he treats all students equally, although everyone in Hongdu Academy says that Hongdu Sanjie is the top of Dean Shen's heart, but Shen Xiu's favorite in his heart is Zhao Yu.
Without him, because he could see that Zhao Yu was the one who was most like him.
Zhao Yu's talent is higher than Zhang Bu's, he was born with four spiritual veins, his qi sea is greater than that of ordinary cultivators, and more importantly, his divine sense is much greater than that of ordinary cultivators. Zhang Bu can become the three heroes of Hongdu by hard work and tenacity, and Zhao Yu can become the first Fu of Hongdu Academy by talent.
Fu Zhengxue is the most talented!
There are three major schools of cultivation: body refining, magic, and talismans.
Legend has it that in the primeval era, the protagonist of this world at that time was not yet human, it was the era of the witch clan and the demon clan fighting for hegemony. The weak human beings imitated the witch clan and learned alchemy, and imitated the demon clan to learn the spell. The Lich Wars eventually brought the primeval era to an end, known as the Age of Great Destruction. Then, slowly and slowly became the protagonist of this world.
But when there was no inexhaustible spiritual energy in the heavens and the earth, and the spiritual power stored in the sea of qi was just a little bit, the magic gradually declined. Because spells consume the most spiritual power, and refining the body consumes very little spiritual power. Not only that, refining the body can greatly increase the physical strength of the body, even if you don't use those exercises that will consume a certain amount of spiritual power, the strength alone is a great improvement for human beings. Once the spell is used, the spiritual power consumption is consumed.
Or the ancient Fuxi Great Sage, who creatively invented runes. According to the combination of various runes, and these combinations are appended to specific animal skins with specific spiritual stones or animal blood containing spiritual power (later Daxian invented rune paper), only a little bit of spiritual power can be used to produce an effect similar to that of magic. Later generations of cultivators called it Fu Zhengxue!
This is a unique invention of human beings, one of the most important tools that human beings have relied on to gradually defeat other creatures on this planet since the Great Sage of Fuxi and finally become the undisputed protagonist of this planet, and it is the crystallization of the wisdom of countless previous cultivators.
In the early years of the Great Shang, a legendary great master of Xiuzhen once asserted: Fu Zheng is the direction of Xiuzhen's future development!
Shen Xiu was convinced of this. He himself is a great expert in Fu Zheng Studies, and he has advanced to the ranks of the Four Rank Cultivators by relying on Fu Gong Learning.
It's very, very rare!
Not to mention the magic method, no cultivator from a poor family would have the luxury to cultivate the magic method! Even those high-ranking families who are extremely rich in cultivation resources will not let their children cultivate the magic method for everyone. Because the spell is too consuming of cultivation resources, the cost performance is extremely low, and of course, the lethality of the spell is also extremely high.
More than ninety percent of the cultivators of the Cold Sect are refining the body, and even if they are refining the body, many people's cultivation resources are still insufficient, let alone cultivating talismans and spells.
In Shen Xiu, a great expert in talismans, the understanding of talisman science is that there are three key points: first, it must have an amazing memory, because the runes have developed to the Great Jin Dynasty There are already more than 7,000 words, each rune is complex in structure, and many runes are almost identical at first glance, and the difference is only the subtleties. And what does a single rune, a double rune, or even a combination of multiple runes mean? What kind of attribute spirit ore and rune should be used for each part of each rune, etc., etc. Without a strong memory, it is impossible to achieve a certain level of attainment in talismans. Just this point made many cultivators look away from Fu Zhengxue. The second is that the divine consciousness must be strong. Runes are extremely delicate symbols, almost a little bit, and sometimes the consequences are diametrically opposed. It is impossible for a rune master to draw accurate runes without a strong divine sense. Third, one must have a talent for understanding runes. Those who can really become a rune master don't rely on rote memorization to memorize every rune and every rune combination. Rote memorization will never be able to memorize all the combinations of runes that require such precision. Many beginner rune masters just memorize a limited number of rune combinations, and that's their limit. They can only work on the talismans related to these combinations they memorize for the rest of their lives. And if you want to become a rune master, you must have a deep understanding of each rune, to understand why this rune is so structured, why that rune is that structure. This is the most profound thing in Fu Gongxue. And these things, Shen Xiu himself has just gotten a glimpse of the door. In this world, only those wealthy families who have been passed down for thousands of years will have a systematic study of these advanced knowledge, which is the crystallization of the geniuses of various generations of Fu Gong, and it will never be passed on, it is something that the cold family cannot touch at all!
Shen Xiu had this talent, and he found that Zhao Yu also had it, and compared to him, he would not be weaker than him at all.
Zhao Yu is a genius talisman master, but unfortunately he was born in a cold family, just like him Shen Xiu. Shen Xiu felt sorry for Zhao Yu more than once. Such a talented talisman master, if he was born in a high family, would have already become a world-famous talisman rookie, and even a sixth-grade cultivator would have already broken through to become a fifth-grade cultivator.
And this is not what Shen Xiu values Zhao Yu most.
What he values most about Zhao Yu is that Zhao Yu is a cultivator who cares about the world, a cultivator who is dissatisfied with the monopoly of the family's high families, and a cultivator who is eager to change. It's not about changing yourself, it's nine out of nine cultivators in the world, including Zhangbu. It's about changing the world!
It's not that we're wrong, it's that society is wrong, and this society is sick, and it's very sick!
It is not me Shen Xiu or him Zhao Yu who needs to change, it is the whole society that needs to be changed!
This is what Shen Xiu values Zhao Yu the most!
