Seeing that Wuji refused to read the exam questions, Yingdare panicked and persuaded him repeatedly.

Mowgli didn't pay attention to him at all.

This kind of question bank without any logic is a complete waste of time for him, just like the literati in the old days who took the Bagu Wen, knowing that thing was a lie, he still had to take the test, how boring it was. If he had to take such a question to enter the Heavenly Academy, he would rather not take it.

With this time, he might as well sit and meditate and find out where the divine bone went.

Ying dared to be helpless, so he had to report to the queen Ying Ruoying.

When the queen heard this, she was stunned for a long time, and asked again and again, but she couldn't believe what Ying dared to say.

Wuji refuses to take the exam, what kind of trouble is this? He doesn't want to enter the Heavenly Academy, he doesn't want to be a national teacher?

He no longer dreams of marrying Ying?

The queen has been for a long time, so that Yingdang dared to bring Wuji into the palace. She wants to ask her face to face and listen to what Wuji herself has to say.

Under Ying Dad's repeated begging, Wuji reluctantly followed Ying Da Dang into the palace. This time, the queen was not in Changle Palace, but waiting for Wuji in the Tianshu Tower. After entering the imperial city, Ying dared to take Wuji to the southeast and walked straight to the Heavenly Academy.

Wuji has seen the Heavenly Book Pagoda many times, but it is the first time to walk into the Heavenly Academy and climb the Heavenly Book Tower.

The Heavenly Book Pagoda is in the Heavenly Academy.

Tianyuan Academy is located in the southeast corner of Afang Palace, covering an area similar to the size of Afang Palace, or even larger. There are not many buildings in the courtyard, and most of the space is planted with various rare tree species, even in winter, it is full of greenery and greenery, compared to the golden palace. It's like a wild forest park, even more beautiful than the Imperial Garden.

Wuji immediately fell in love with the Heavenly Academy.

"I loved it here. Wuji looked left and right, and his mood suddenly improved a lot.

"It's nothing. Spring is coming, and it's even better here, like a paradise. Ying dared to be a little emotional. "When I was a child, I liked to stay here, just find a place to get a cat up, and hide it for a day. ”

"And now?"

"Now?" Ying Dangdang shook his head: "Heavenly Academy is not a place where anyone can come and go casually, if I didn't bring you here, I wouldn't be able to enter." Don't look like there's no one. In fact, as soon as we came in, we were targeted. ”

"Really?" Wuji was taken aback. How did it feel like there was surveillance? He immediately remembered the delicate lines on the silver medal, and a cloud of doubt rose in his heart. According to Ying, too. The silver medals of the temple system were all made by the Heavenly Academy.

Could it be that the Heavenly Academy still has technology that surpasses this era?

Walking through a long tree-lined path, Wuji saw the Tianshu Tower. Looking at the Tianshu Pagoda from afar outside the imperial city, he already felt that the Tianshu Pagoda was tall and magnificent, indescribable. But when he really stood under the Heavenly Book Tower. Only then did he truly appreciate how majestic the Heavenly Book Pagoda was.

The entrance gate on the ground floor alone is four or five feet high, and even a giant like Wang Wang would be ashamed of himself when he walked here.

Wuji suddenly remembered the Lingtai of Zifu Mountain, whether it was the size or the shape, the Tianshu Pagoda and the Lingtai were very similar.

The doubts in Wuji's heart were even stronger. With the crude technology of the Great Qin Empire, it seems impossible to build a building like the Tianshu Tower. Such a tall Tianshu Pagoda has extremely high requirements for construction technology, and it is not something that can be built with a large number of people.

He walked from Crouching Tiger Town to Xianyang. Such a spectacular building, like no other.

"Who built the tower of the book on this day? When was it built?"

Ying dared to bare his teeth. "You ask me, who do I ask? Don't think too much, the great master is waiting for you at the top of the tower, wait for yourself to go up. ”

Wuji was helpless and walked into the Tianshu Tower alone.

The bottom floor of the Tianshu Pagoda is an empty and dark hall, surrounded by walls polished from white marble, which is very similar to the hall on the first floor of the Lingtai, except that there are rows of bookshelves in front of the wall, and the bookshelves are full of books, including letter-bound books, and also bag-bound books, and so on.

The hall of the Lingtai was empty, but there were countless thick stone pillars in the hall of the Heavenly Book Tower. Next to each pillar there is a desk, a chair.

A middle-aged man dressed in priestly costume walked over with a lantern, held it up, and shone on Wuji's face. "Shuren Wuji?"

Wuji nodded and bowed.

The middle-aged man stepped sideways and did not accept the gift of Mowgli. He owes himself: "The great master is on the tower, please come with me." ”

Wuji was a little strange, but he didn't ask much, and followed the middle-aged man to the center of the hall. There is a huge stone pillar that is hugged by ten people, and a stone staircase spirals upward, almost exactly like the steps of the spiritual platform, and it is a bit like a double helix structure of DNA.

Following the middle-aged man, Wuji climbed the Tianshu Tower step by step, passing through the hall layer after floor. The shape of the hall is similar, but the higher you go, the smaller the space in the hall. Along the way, Wuji didn't see the third person, nor did he hear any sound, and in the entire Tianshu Tower, only their monotonous footsteps echoed.

I don't know how long I walked, Wuji stood on the twenty-third floor of the Heavenly Book Tower.

The middle-aged man bowed silently and retreated.

A door was hidden, and Queen Ying Ruoying, dressed in the costume of a great teacher, stood in the corridor outside the Tianshu Tower, with her hands behind her back, overlooking the entire Xianyang City. Wuji walked over, stood behind the queen, glanced down, and suddenly had a feeling of standing in the clouds and being out of the world.

At the feet, Xianyang City is lit up and bright like stars.

"I heard you don't want to take the test?"

"I just don't want to see those chiseled questions. ”

Those questions are indeed suspected of being chiseled, but these questions are the experience of countless sages in studying the Book of Heaven, and they are also the basis for learning the Book of Heaven. If you want to learn the Book of Heaven, you must first be familiar with these inscriptions. Just like this Heavenly Book Tower, if the foundation is not solid, how can it be stable for a thousand years?"

Mowgli expressed skepticism. "Piercing the foundation of the annex can support the Heavenly Book Tower?" Wuji shook his head. "Queen, I don't dare to agree. The truth is the truth, the false is the false, and no matter how fanciful it is, it will be useless in the end - except to confuse the public and make people move further and further away from the truth. ”

"The truth must be wrapped in lies, just as Baoyu must be packed in a brocade box. The queen turned. Quietly looking at Mowgli. "Mowgli, the world needs the truth, but also lies and deception. Know' the 'Empty Heart. Solid belly, weak ambition, strong bones' from what canon?"

Wuji shook his head, this is a passage in the "Tao Te Ching", which was mentioned by the great master when he taught him to meditate. But at that time, it was a different interpretation, and it had nothing to do with lies and deception. He knew what the queen wanted to say, but he didn't want to say it. On the contrary, an indescribable boredom swelled up in my heart.

"The sharp weapon of the country cannot be shown. The real secret of the Book of Heaven can only be held in the hands of a small number of people. "The breeze is coming. The queen's voice was a little erratic, as if it might be blown away by the wind at any moment. "The more incomprehensible the Book of Heaven becomes, the more mysterious it becomes. The more mysterious the Book of Heaven, the more awe-reverent the people became. Once the Book of Heaven is no longer mysterious. The day of the collapse of the empire is approaching. ”

Mowgli laughed silently. Full of sarcasm. "The Book of Heaven is indeed mysterious, but the future of the empire is not much better. ”

The queen's eyebrows were slightly raised, her eyebrows were slightly frowned, her lips pursed, and she groaned for a moment. "Do you know why?"

No taboo is noncommittal.

"Because the Heavenly Academy is weakened. The queen took a breath, then spit out softly, and sighed. "For three hundred years, there has not been a single qualified great master. The Heavenly Academy is not strong enough to deter those traitors and rebels who are ready to move. There is no guarantee of peace in the world. ”

Mowgli was silent. What the Empress said was similar to what he had guessed, that the Heavenly Academy was a tool of the Empire to control people's hearts, and that it might even directly carry out the task of eliminating unstable factors. From Xianyang, the center of the empire, to any small town, there are shrines, and the temples, like the official government, firmly control the entire empire.

"Do you know why I agree to the matter between you and Yiran? The disparity between your identities is so big, not to mention that the Heavenly Academy also has a rule that if you want to become a great teacher, you must swear not to start a family, not to start a business, not to marry a wife, not to have children. ”

Mowgli's eyes narrowed.

"This rule has been passed down for thousands of years, and even the Son of Heaven cannot break it. However, I promise you anyway, because if you have to break this rule, only one person can do it. The queen said word by word: "This person is a great teacher." ”

"The rules are set by the gods, and the great teachers are the spokesmen of the gods in the world, and only the great teachers can break this rule. If you can become a great power teacher and save the empire, I want you to break this rule......"

"And dedicate your daughter. Wuji, who had been silent, interrupted the queen's words. "Ying is nothing more than a sacrifice of the empire to the gods. Whether she wants to or not, as long as I can become a great teacher, I can get my wish?"

The queen stared at Wuji for a long time and nodded. "Yes. ”

Wuji spun around, took two deep breaths, and spit out heavily.

The queen looked at Wuji quietly, her eyes focused, but she didn't say anything.

"I like the same, but I don't want to have her as if I were sacrificing. Wuji suddenly stood still, his eyes looking directly at the queen. "This deal, I can't accept it......"

"I also like you, she is willing. The queen interrupted Mowgli. "Even if you don't want to be a great master, for the sake of the empire, it will still be a sacrifice, not only her, but there may be more people. ”

"Why don't you keep pretending? As long as the Great Master is alive, who else can covet the position of the Great Master?"

"I don't have enough talent, I can only save the time for a while, and I can't keep pretending. The queen was furious, her face was frosty, but her eyes were shining with angry flames. "If I have enough talent, how can the person who became a great teacher in the first place be you. ”

"What?" Wuji was stunned, not reacting for a while.

The queen raised her voice: "How long are you going to pretend to be stupid? If you really can let go, why do you want to borrow this young man's body to come back." If you can't let go, why do you have to push back and block? Fight and not fight, retreat and not retreat, when do you want to hide?"

The queen's face was flushed, her eyes were wide open, and she roared in a low voice, like an angry lioness pressing forward step by step. In an instant, Wuji seemed to see Yingyi. When he is angry, Ying is also like this, even if he is not transformed, he is like a fire-breathing red flame beast,

"Again, I ......"

The queen raised her eyebrows and suddenly woke up. She stopped, staring at Mowgli's eyes and looking again and again, her hands quietly retracted into her sleeves.

"Let's go. The queen turned around and looked at the starry city of Xianyang. "Get out of Xianyang immediately, it's too dangerous here, it's not the place you should be. ”

Wuji frowned, feeling that something was wrong-

(To be continued......)
