Volume 1, Chapter 65 of the Young Clouds, the prelude to the Hidden Dragon Test
The grass is budding, and the pear blossoms are not raining.
The scenery in early spring is not much different from that of midwinter without snow.
So just wait for a spring time.
When the spring water and spring pond are full, when the spring grass is born, and when the spring birds make the sound of spring, that is, when the spring people drink spring wine.
This year's dragon test was delayed by two months compared to previous years, and in previous years, the last snow fell, welcoming the beginning of the new year. And this year, we have to wait for a spring day.
The postponement of the Qianlong test is not a bad thing for many people. The onlookers naturally don't care, the contestants can also have a period of time to improve their realm, and the instructor can also have more time to ask about this year's topics.
However, what is disappointing is that this year's Qianlong test secrecy work is the most rigorous. The topics were all formulated by the deans of the four colleges, as well as Yew Garden and Zhushan, and the items of the competition were full of excitement without thinking.
The questions of the Tianxuan Academy must continue its own style, that is, bitterness and tiredness, which can be seen from the admission test and martial arts in previous years. And Seifuin naturally follows the way of the literati. The combination of the two, coupled with the Yew Garden and Zhushan behind it, makes people full of interest in this hidden dragon trial.
In Qingfeng Courtyard, Bai Jiu, Ouyang Luo and Tang Chun have been in the library for the past few days.
With the current realm of the three of them, they can shuttle freely in the third layer, and there are very few people who practice in Qingfeng Temple, and the third floor of the huge library building is actually just the three of them.
In fact, every year, the old students of Qingfeng Temple return to the hospital to study in the library building, but these old students who are willing to come back are naturally not low, and they are generally above the fourth floor, and the books left there have no connection with martial arts, most of them are for cultivation or market perceptions.
These things don't mean anything to Bai Jiu and the others at all now, they can't see it and don't need it, and the arrangement of each floor of the library building is very reasonable.
Tang Chun can go to the fourth layer, but the books on the fourth layer are all allusions to some countryside or legends, which are not practical for cultivation, and are used to let students who have reached a certain level of cultivation see the world clearly.
With Ouyang Luo's current realm, he can also walk up the stairs of the fourth floor and a half, and he can't take this step after all. Bai Jiu's realm is the lowest, even if he is already in the third layer now, but if he stays for a long time, Zhihai will still be impacted, and he feels a little disgusting.
The three of them practiced on the third floor of the library building, which was arranged by Vice Dean Mo.
The third floor of the library building is the place where the most exercises are hidden.
Over the centuries, countless former sages of the academy have found and created their own exercises here. The most of these is swordsmanship, and the sword is called the gentleman's blade.
Perhaps for this reason, most of the students of Seifuin use swords. There was the most exaggerated time: at that time, Liu Xun became famous for his self-realization of the Qiuyang Sword, and for a time became the idol of all the students of Qingfeng Academy. Every student, male or female, vied to follow suit, and regardless of whether they practiced or not, there was always a certain difference in the demeanor of the sword at their waist. This has also prompted the library to have more and more swordsmanship in recent years, which is quite complicated but also self-contained.
All three of them are good at using swords, and they will always use them if you look at them.
After returning from Zhushan, Bai Jiu explained to Ouyang Luo what he encountered on Zhushan, although Ouyang Luo's expression at that time was as restrained as possible, but no one could see the incredible look in her eyes.
Then the two went to many places, first the Tianxuan Courtyard, then Baihua Lane, and finally the pharmacy in Yongan City. In the end, they returned to Qingfeng Courtyard with nothing, and before they could rest, they were called over by Tang Chun.
Vice Dean Mo was also there, and he said a lot of things, including guidance on cultivation and ardent expectations, and naturally there was also a piece of news that was very interesting.
This year's Qianlong test is really the best in the past, and Dayu has made a great deal of effort to raise the fame of the Qianlong test to a higher level.
The Chaoyang ratio during the Tang Dynasty can be described as a prosperous era for young people, and how many young and strong people at that time saw all the Chang'an flowers in one day.
Today, Dayu is known as the orthodox inheritance of the Tang Dynasty and the first power in the world. Although the Qianlong test is also the most authoritative today, it is far from the Chaoyang ratio of the Tang Dynasty after all. Therefore, this year's Qianlong test has added a new reward project, Emperor Yu personally moved the will, and the top four in the Qianlong test can enter today's Dayu treasure house.
What is the Treasury of Dayu? A hundred years ago, it was called the Tang Treasure House!
There was a small world in the depths of the palace, and no one knew where that entrance was, except for a few people who were most trusted by Emperor Yu today.
It is rumored that there is a clear water pool in front of that small world, and at the bottom of the pool is the water unicorn that has guarded the palace for thousands of years.
What is stored in that small world is the huge amount of property collected by the Tang Dynasty since its founding for thousands of years. There is everything there, cultivation exercises, divine weapons, Ganoderma lucidum elixir........ You can think of it and you can't think of it.
After hearing this news, Bai Jiu's first thought was the Ganoderma lucidum immortal medicine. Since you want everything, there are naturally countless good elixirs, right? Not to mention that Chu Xinyun's injuries can be healed, even if the realm is raised by a few more grades, it shouldn't be a problem.
Dayu released the news, and the entire continent responded.
The streets and alleys of Yong'an City are full of discussions, and all the sects in the world have the intention of making a move.
The Dayu Treasure House or the Datang Treasure House, there are really too many attractive things in it. At that time, the Tang Dynasty Iron Cavalry swept through countless sects, countless cultivation exercises, and divine weapons were brought to Chang'an at that time. Naturally, there are many things that people want, and there is no shortage of inheritance items of a sect.
The sound of discussion is one, but just like a pond with the wind, the ripples will not enter the eyes of the law after all, and the past will not be remembered. What is needed is a pebble, or a fish jumping out of the water, and the pond has large ripples that spread to the entire surface of the pond, so that more fish dare to jump.
There are very few sects in this world that can confront Da Yu, and there are only a few inheritances now.
The Snow Mountain Sect in the northern snow field, the Sword Sect, Daomen, and the Yellow Valley in the Dongzhou Mountains and Forests, as well as the Wuwu Temple in the Pure Land in the West.
Each of these five sects is comparable to the existence of a dynasty.
It has been inherited for a long time, with a rich heritage and huge power.
In the more than 100 years since the founding of Dayu, few people have participated in the first Qianlong test. Every subsequent session of Daomen has never been absent, and even if there is no news of the opening of the treasure house this year, Daomen still came to participate.
The Sword Sect was absent from this year's Hidden Dragon Test due to its own special reasons. The Snow Mountain Sect is in the far northern snow field, and rarely interacts with Dayu, and I don't know how to react this year. Then all that's left is the Temple of Nothing.
Bai Jiu is very unfamiliar with the Temple of Nothings, and he can hear a lot of news about this world in Yong'an City. Even the world's most mysterious and terrifying killer organization, Luoxue Tower, is also a popular topic. But for the Temple of Nothing, few people mention it.
The only thing mentioned was the debate between the Mingshan monk of Wuwu Temple and the great disciple of Zhushan more than ten years ago. Few people know the result, but in the hearts of the people of Dayu, the person who won must be a disciple of Zhushan.
It seems that the entire Yong'an City is very resistant to the Wuwu Temple, or the entire Dayu is resistant to the Buddhism.
Bai Jiu didn't understand what the reason was?
Tang Chun seems to know something.
"The folk customs of Dayu are very similar to the centuries-old Datang, but now they have added a bit of the elegant atmosphere brought by Zhushan. In the past, everyone in Datang pursued their own pleasure, and at that time, the country was invincible, and naturally the people had no way to be proud. This is very contradictory to the teachings of Buddhism. The monk of Wuwu Temple skipped the seven emotions and six desires and pursued the four emptiness, which was an alien existence in the eyes of the Tang people, and naturally abandoned it. What's more, that is the Taoist sect is the state religion of the Tang Dynasty, and there is the Southern Heavenly Daomen in the south, although the Tang Dynasty did not destroy the Buddha, but the Buddhism has long been excluded in the hearts of the people. A hundred years have passed, the folk customs of the Tang Dynasty are still the same, and the Buddhism is still the Buddhism, so there is no difference. ”
Ouyang Luo, as a girl from the Ouyang family, naturally heard some news from the mouths of adults.
"From the Tang Dynasty to the present, there have been few monks in Yong'an City. Even those ascetic monks who traveled in the world made a detour when they passed through Yong'an City. At that time, the monk Mingshan also debated with Mr. Big at the foot of Zhushan, and he did not enter Yong'an City at all. ”
Whether the monk will come this time is really an interesting question.
...........
...........
What exactly is practice?
The Buddha said that all external objects are demonic obstacles, so in this life, you will be free from sins and karma and always go to bliss.
The Tao says that all things are cultivated, so refining the Tao in this life will lead to the coexistence of the Tao and the Heavenly Dao.
Lord Zhuge was the most famous military advisor in the era of Zhulu, and now Dayu Guotai Min'an has become one of the founders of the Purple Shirt Annex.
What the Yew Annexes teach is military strategy techniques, which provide a steady stream of military talents for the Dayu military in case of emergency. In Changkong's opinion, Lord Zhuge was the only one who could compete with the Martial Saint in terms of military affairs.
The Yew Annexation is on the side of the Yew Garden, and Lord Zhuge lives in a clean corner of the Yew Annex. The old people like to live a cleaner life, which is not discriminate between literati and martial arts. Unlike Mei Hanxiang, who likes to enjoy plum blossoms, the older Lord Zhuge gets, the more he likes to play chess.
Early this morning, the morning light was thick, the spring breeze was blowing, and the sky came to seek advice.
An old man and a young man sat on both sides of the chessboard, and the black and white chess pieces roamed the chessboard, and they even had the feeling of being on the battlefield.
It's still early in the morning, and I don't know where I got such a hobby.
Changkong likes to listen to the old man.
Maybe it's also the appreciation of this junior, Lord Zhuge who always can't wake up on weekdays always tells him about his questions one by one, and it can be seen that Lord Zhuge also likes to talk to this junior.
His Majesty the Emperor released the news to the world, which was intended to enhance Dayu's status in the world, and the people could think of the grievances of the Buddha, and Changkong could naturally think of it, and he knew it better. Coming here today, Changkong deliberately did not seek advice, but casually mentioned the matter of Buddhism, and Lord Zhuge seemed to be very willing to explain to him.
