Chapter 624: Singing and Promise
Su Ji, in the Heavenly Academy, sat for a few days, no one came, not to mention the rumored daily spiritual supply, even food and drink. Previously, Zhu Yuanzhang said that he would take him to meet the new successor secretary general tomorrow, but naturally there was no news.
Su Ji decided to wander around the academy to see what kind of magic and charm this famous celestial academy really had.
Tianren Academy, the first academy of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was jointly founded by the royal family and Confucianism, covering a wide area and beautiful gardens everywhere. The "students" recruited by it are either with extraordinary qualifications or from prominent families, and after these "students" leave the academy, they will basically be reused by the Great Zhou Dynasty, which can be described as having a great future. However, now that the Great Zhou has disintegrated, these have gradually become a thing of the past.
But this did not hinder Su Ji's visit, he knew that if it weren't for this, it would be difficult for a ghost cultivator like himself to get in.
The quaint buildings are still there, the beautiful flowers and plants are still there, and the changes of history cannot be seen under the quiet years. Su Ji still remembers that when the Yongzhou City Protectorate was recovered, it can be said that the ground shook the mountains, the broken walls were ruined, and the rubble was everywhere.
It is no problem to treat the Celestial Academy as a park and take a look around, as long as many places with prohibitions take the initiative to avoid it.
Sugi, after a long time, is almost purely visiting the park. When Zhu Yuanzhang came before, he had already explained that Su Ji was named by the secretary general of the academy, and everything in the future was waiting for the secretary general's instructions.
This also indirectly illustrates the chaos of the Academy today. When you come in, you just have to register your name and someone answers, and then you leave it alone.
Su Ji was a little disappointed, it seemed that the current Heavenly Academy was really nothing more than that. Thinking so, he planned to go back to his residence in the academy for the time being. At this moment, a quarrel came from the small courtyard next to it.
The partition wall has the fragrance of flowers, and there seems to be no prohibition, and the courtyard gate is also hidden, which seems to be a public area.
"How can I be a human race monk with those demons and monsters?!"
"They're all monks, so why not?"
"Inclusive, with light and dust. β
"If it is not of my race, its heart will be different!"
γγγγγγ
These naΓ―ve topics are still being discussed, and it seems that this Tianren Academy is really different from the past. Su Ji, with a sneer in his heart, walked away.
Who knows, a cold snort sounded, and a lightning-like spiritual fire rose in front of Su Ji. Su Ji immediately snorted coldly, and his hands flicked, creating a dark cloud.
A tall young Confucian cultivator walked over, glanced at Su Ji coldly, and then said disdainfully, "It turns out to be a Yin Body Confucian cultivator from the world. β
As he spoke, monks came over one after another, all of whom were just making childish quarrels. Most of them looked at Su Ji with contempt, and some were a little curious.
Su Ji coldly glanced at the young Confucian cultivator who had shot at him, and said slowly, "Su came to the academy in the name of the secretary general. Who is Your Excellency? Without saying a word, secretly attacking?"
"Presumptuous! Just now you secretly eavesdropped on our deliberations, and you sneered, we have all noticed it, and we should have been severely punished, Senior Brother Lei made a warning, but you slandered him so much!"
"Sure enough, it is a Yin Body Confucian cultivator, sneaky, insidious and vicious, worse than those ordinary ghost cultivators. β
γγγγγγ
Before the so-called Senior Brother Lei could speak, some monks had already reprimanded him, and if they disagreed, they would take action one after another to take down Su Ji.
Su Ji's face was like water, and he didn't say anything, but he kept releasing a cold ghostly aura.
These monks on the other side, no matter what their attitude is, their cultivation is around the level of the true spirit, at least in the late stage of the real person. Not only that, but they all look graceful and extraordinary.
But Su Ji, don't be afraid! Although he has always been quite forbearing, after being promoted to the True Spirit, his state of mind is already different; if he cultivates to the True Spirit level, he still has to be as cautious as before, and he will be as cautious as before, and he will only be submissive, then what is the point of cultivation? Without anyone else's hands, his Dao heart will collapse. He made up his mind that if any of these people dared to strike again, or stop him, he would fight with all his might.
The cold ghostly aura that was constantly being released swirled around Su Ji. Su Ji was submerged in it, his breath became more obscure, and his pale face gradually became looming.
"Aren't you a Yin Body Confucian cultivator?" The young Confucian cultivator who was called Senior Brother Lei frowned slightly, and suddenly stepped forward, and the whole person released a milky white aura, and there was a little white light flame in the aura, which made Su Ji suddenly feel an inexplicable danger.
"It's actually a ghost cultivator!?" Many people on the side were surprised, they were very disgusted and hostile to ghost cultivators, and some even sacrificed magic weapons and spiritual weapons.
Seeing this, Su Ji did not hesitate to secretly sacrifice the Burial Flower Gu and the Nebula Bamboo Sword. Xingyun Zhu, Wu Xuan has already instructed that it cannot be easily revealed, but Su Ji can't care about it at the moment,
"Now that Xuanyin is in trouble, you can't practice well in the academy, and you still have to fight privately?" A figure appeared, standing in the void, middle-aged, with a white face and no beard, a round face, but the eyes were extremely sharp.
"See Your Excellency, Secretary-General. "All the people salute solemnly.
Su Ji also hurriedly showed his figure, and while saluting and greeting in the same way, he secretly looked at the phantom of the secretary general.
Although it is a phantom, it is magnificent, and even the black and gold-rimmed wide robe is as real as the real one. Combined with the reactions of these Confucian monks who had just surrounded him, Su Ji faintly felt that this Secretary-General was probably the Secretary-General who had entered the Zhou Tian Xingchen Great Array, not the new successor who had stayed now.
This figure seemed to have long been familiar with such a scene, and only said lightly, "It's all gone." As it dissipated, he glanced in Suji's direction seemingly without a trace.
Su Ji returned to his residence, and it didn't take long for Zhu Yuanzhang to hurry over. Zhu Yuanzhang already knew about the matter, and he told Su Ji that since the Secretary-General had come forward in person, no one would easily embarrass himself in the future, and it would be okay to be careful.
"As soon as Brother Su came, Yuanzhang should have led Brother Su to go through the formalities. It's just that I was temporarily ordered, and I went out again, and I just came back. Zhu Yuanzhang, stood up, "Let's go, let's go at this moment." β
So, Zhu Yuanzhang took Su Ji out of his residence, walked through many towering buildings with red flowers and willows all the way, walked for half an hour, and finally came to a magnificent hall. In the main hall, in the upper position, there is an old-fashioned gray-robed Confucian cultivator, with a long white beard, and a bunch of bamboo slips in his hand. Below it, there were already five people standing, dressed in different costumes, belonging to the Buddha Confucianism, demons and demons, if Su Ji is added, it is the gathering of six sects.
After Zhu Yuanzhang respectfully said goodbye outside the hall, he led Su Ji into the hall. The gray-robed Confucian cultivator slowly opened his eyes, glanced at Su Ji, and said a little lazily, "Yuanzhang, when everyone is here, let's start." β
Zhu Yuanzhang bowed and saluted, "I respectfully follow Elder Qiyang's orders." Then he began to sing aloud,
"Tianren Academy, Datong Courtyard, disciple Zhu Yuanzhang, together with the Buddhist monk Wang Baobao, the Taoist monk Zhang Lingbao, the Confucian monk Guo Min, the demon monk Hu Feiling, the demon monk Han Shuang, and the ghost monk Su Ji came to register and make a book. β
The gray-robed Confucian cultivator straightened up suddenly, his long eyebrows stretched, his eyes shot out two rays of light, he looked around at everyone, and asked solemnly, "Are you volunteering to join the academy?"
"I'm going to volunteer to join the college!"
"Can I follow the rules of the hospital while I am in the hospital?"
"I'm going to keep it!"
"After being discharged from the hospital, can you keep in mind the purpose of the college?"
"I'll keep it in mind!"
On the way here, Zhu Yuanzhang had already explained, and Su Ji had already remembered it in his heart, and together with the other five people, he spoke in unison.
After three questions and three answers, the gray-robed Confucian cultivator, Elder Qiyang, unfolded the bamboo slip in his hand and wrote the names of the six people with a pen. Every time a name is written, a golden light flies out of the bamboo slips and falls in front of the corresponding person, but it becomes a wooden plaque. After writing six names, this Qiyang elder rolled up the bamboo slips and put them in his sleeve.
"This wooden card, Nell and other identity waist cards, many uses, you can know it at a try. When he said this, Elder Qiyang had already closed his eyes.
Zhu Yuanzhang, signaling with his eyes, bowed down and retreated with the six people.
After leaving this hall and walking for a while, Wang Baobao couldn't help but ask, "Senior Brother Yuanzhang, what is the use of this wooden card?"
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled lightly, "This wooden plaque is not gold or jade, but it represents the identity of the core students' disciples. With this token, it is even cheaper to receive supplies, consult classics, and refine spiritual weapons. Even if you leave the academy, it is very convenient to walk in this capital. By the way, we can communicate with each other with this wooden card. β
That Demon Dao monk Han Shuang's eyes lit up, "Dare to ask Senior Brother, how to get spiritual resources?"
Zhu Yuanzhang played a series of spiritual lights with both hands, and they were submerged in the wooden cards on the waists of the six people, "How to use, you can see it at a glance." Then he secretly admonished, "Tonight, the Secretary-General will summon me and others secretly, so don't forget to go back to your respective quarters in advance and wait quietly. β
Su Ji and the other six nodded solemnly. The reason why they came to the Heavenly Academy was because of the secretary general, who had great magical powers, showed his appearance, and called each other by his words.
As night fell, Sugi returned to her lodgings and sat down on her couch. A set of white and flawless spiritual silk robes was already worn on the body, and the wooden plaque hung from the waist. In his storage ring, there are also some more spirit stones and elixirs.
The spirit stone was issued by the Heavenly Academy. The elixir was purchased by Su Ji himself with a spirit stone in the spirit market of the academy, of course, because of the wooden sign, the price was much lower than the outside. In the spiritual market of the academy, there are all kinds of elixir talismans, magic weapons, and even formations \ exercises. But Su Ji didn't have many spirit stones on his body, so he only bought two kinds of spirit pills that were commonly used and necessary and cheap, the spirit pill and the poison pill.
In addition to Lingshi, Su Ji also went to the Book Pavilion later. In the book cabinet, there are many books, but there are many permissions. In many places, many classics require college charters or college points. Su Ji has just arrived now, and the academy points on the wooden card are zero, so he can only look at "A Brief Introduction to the Xuanyin Continent" and "A Brief History of the Tianren Academy" and the like. Rao is like this, Su Ji has also stayed in the library for a long time, and he has watched it with relish, if he hadn't remembered Zhu Yuanzhang's instructions, I'm afraid he would have been soaking in it.
In the academy, when he saw Zhu Yuanzhang for the first time, Zhu Yuanzhang made it clear that the reason why Su Ji was able to enter the Heavenly Academy was because of the special recruitment of the Secretary-General; Therefore, tonight, the unfathomable secretary general will summon him, and it is the first time, Su Ji naturally does not dare to make the slightest mistake, so as soon as it gets dark, he will return to his residence early, recuperate his spirit, and wait respectfully.
At midnight, the wooden card on Su Ji's waist suddenly glowed with a faint yellow light, and Zhu Yuanzhang's voice came out of the wooden card, "Quickly concentrate on this wooden card." β
Su Ji didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly condensed his mind and threw a divine sense into the wooden card. This time, the divine consciousness entered the wooden card, which was unusual, Su Ji only felt that the divine consciousness was drawn to a certain kind of chaotic secret realm, which seemed to be full of fairy energy, and he knew nothing else, could not see clearly, and could not hear the sound.
There seemed to be another voice, real and illusory, urging Su Ji to continue to devote himself to his divine sense. Su Ji, following the prompts, kept throwing his divine sense into the wooden card.
Gradually, the surroundings became clear, it seemed to be a majestic palace; then, I saw Zhu Yuanzhang and others, of course, the body of divine consciousness; finally, a solemn figure appeared out of thin air in the main position of the palace, with white edges and black robes, and the face of a middle-aged man, I couldn't see it really, but Su Ji instinctively intuitively felt that this was the former secretary general of the Heavenly Academy, the one projected during the day, and where his divine consciousness body was now located was somewhere in the great array of stars in the sky that week.
Sure enough, that Zhu Yuanzhang saluted respectfully, "I'll wait to see the Secretary-General!"
Su Ji and the others immediately bowed respectfully.
"No need to be polite!" the secretary general said, not as majestic as when the daytime was projected, Zhongzheng was peaceful, "You are all talents who can be created, and I am very pleased to be able to enter my Datong Courtyard this time." β
After that, his right hand was raised, and six golden rays of light flew towards Wang Baobao, Zhang Lingbao, Guo Min, Hu Feiling, Han Shuang, and Su Ji respectively, but it was a magic trick.
"Man is the head of the spirits of all living beings, mortals, immortals, gods, and even saints. You are all human beings now, and you should know and protect them. This Qi refining recipe can help you refine Qi as a person, an extraordinary person, and a real person. β
Su Ji seemed to understand these words, and was thinking about whether he could ask for advice, but who knew that his divine body fell rapidly, and he returned to his physical body in a moment, and when he opened his eyes, he seemed to have taken a nap in the residence of the academy, and the majestic palace, solemn figure, was like a dream.
However, that period of qi refining trick was truly and deeply imprinted in the sea of knowledge, and the subtlety and meaning were incomparably subtle, which made Su Ji feel a sense of sudden enlightenment and joy.
Su Ji has been practicing the "Nine Changes of Xuanying" created by Wen Tianxiang before, and it is not the complete version. After being promoted to the True Spirit, he lacked the major exercises. Su Ji thought about replacing it with the "Song of Righteousness" taught by Wen Tianxiang, but the result was not ideal, plausible, no matter what, he couldn't cultivate the real Haoran righteousness, at most he could only cover it up occasionally. After all, he didn't have the same experience as Wen Tianxiang, he didn't have a keel, and his original practice was to really enter the ghost path, and no matter what happened in the future, it would be in vain.
But this qi refining recipe is different, focusing on how to refine qi with a human body, and then refine qi and transform form. This incarnation is a true incarnation, and the ghost is a real person.
Su Ji, why don't you rejoice? That night, he began to cultivate.
γγγγγγ
Bi Lanlan, walking on the streets of the capital, couldn't help but sigh secretly. In the past few days, he has traveled to almost all places, such as the Temple of Mercy and Grace of the Lianhua Sect, the Puguang Temple of the Aurora Sect, and the Bodhi Temple of the Pure Zen Sectγγγγγγ These temples, which were originally famous in the capital, were empty and empty.
Originally, the people in the temple are said to have left and returned to Buddhism. The people in the Taoist Confucian sect were afraid of their feelings, and the monks of the three sects of demons and demons did not like the temple environment, so it was empty. Of course, it is limited to the temple and the temple annex area, except for this list. Like the Temple of Mercy and Grace, outside the temple, the gardens have been divided up long ago, and even a fixed division of forces has been formed.
Bi Lanlan wanted to go to the Daxiong Treasure Hall of Ci'en Temple to see what was going on, but he was still outside, so he was stopped. I didn't hear anyone dare to say directly, "I opened this mountain, I planted this tree... But "the scenery inside is very good, and the maintenance is endless. Such rhetoric is grandiose.
Bi Lanlan once couldn't help but reveal his identity and bluntly said that he was a Buddhist monk. The monks laughed again and asked with difficulty, "Since you are a Buddhist monk, why do you still grow your hair?
Speaking of which, the cultivation is still not high enough, and it has not reached the true spirit level, otherwise there will be no obstacle if you put your hands together and recite two sentences of Amitabha.
Bi Lanlan, after thinking about it, decided to go to Buddhism. Spiritual stones are required for accommodation, and spiritual stones are required for cultivation, and even spiritual stones are required from the east city to the west cityγγγγγ Without the spirit stone, it seems that it is difficult to move an inch!
Bi Lanlan carefully calculated, although he had some spirit stones, it was far from enough to support himself to go to the sphere of influence of the Buddha Sect, unless the power of the Buddha Sect would soon expand outside the capital, as soon as he left the city gate.
Bi Lanlan, as a last resort, contacted other people, and the information in return was the same. In this case, it is natural that all roads lead to Rome, and it will not work for each to practice according to one's own plan. A few people got together again, discussed, Zhao Qiuhe proposed to send a message back, ask Wuxu for help, but the rest of the people did not approve, this time out of Yongzhou to travel, looking for opportunities, how can it be easy to ask for help, if so, it is better to go back to Yongzhou directly. There are different opinions, and there is no consensus.
Suddenly, a gorgeously dressed grandmother came over, "Do you know how to chant?"
Naturally, you will be able to recite the scriptures. People often chant the Sutra with the sound method, "Heart Sutra", "Diamond Sutra", "Yuanjue Sutra", and a little longer, "Nirvana Sutra", "Lotus Sutra", "Lengyan Sutra", γγγγγγ
But this old lady seems to be looking for someone to do things? A dignified Buddhist monk, a real Buddhist monk, has he been reduced to doing things with people?!
Everyone was silent for a while, and only then did Bi Lanlan reply, "I am a Buddhist monk, so naturally we can chant sutras. β
The old lady, who is also cultivated, glanced at everyone again, and then said again, "In this case, I will enter the palace with the old man." The princess of Tiger Sniff has been in a bad mood recently, and if you can please chant the scriptures, you will naturally be rewarded. β
The tiger sniffs the princess, she is in a bad mood, and she is pleasing to chantingγγγγγγγ This is treating everyone as a vaudeville?γγγγγγ
The Great Zhou Palace, which has never been seen. The tiger sniffs the princess, and her mood is not good, even if she recites and prays for her, it can be regarded as a merit.
Bi Lanlan and the others looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and finally looked in the direction of the palace with their palms together.
The Great Zhou Palace is still incomparably grand and majestic, there are still many guards guarding it, and no one dares to approach it easily.
"Amitabha!" everyone sang, but in the end they got up and went with this grandmother.
