With this kind of relationship between a son-in-law and a father-in-law, the relationship between them was naturally closer to each other. There was no need to talk about using relatives and friends to make a fuss. In this world, the relationship between relatives and friends was more important among scholars. Blood relations were more trustworthy. This was the difference between family and outsiders. No matter how selfless one was, one would still be affected.
This was unavoidable.
"That's right, it was Scholar Cai. Back then, a large number of commoners descended near Jixia Academy. They had no leader, but there were many scholars. However, none of them had the prestige to lead everyone. They were like a plate of loose sand. In the end, Scholar Cai stood out. He entered Jixia Academy and found the Confucian cultivation method. He used his talent to condense righteous energy to open up the Deity Ocean and awaken the Confucian Fate Aperture. He killed a large number of beasts with a sword of his tongue. With a shout, a large number of monsters were terrified. "
"He gathered all the commoners and allowed them to enter the academy. He allowed them to obtain the cultivation method and inherit the teachings of the Hundred Schools of Thought. Only then would they be able to fight against the Mutated Races and protect Jixia Academy from being invaded. His contributions are undeniable. "
Lin Hai's expression was filled with a strong sense of worship.
It was like how a commoner would look at a celebrity.
His position in their hearts was quite high.
Scholars only respected those who were more knowledgeable and had higher status than them.
"Looks like this father-in-law of mine isn't easy to deal with. His position in Jixia Academy is definitely unshakable. As long as I can convince the Chancellor and the Palace Lord, then the others will not be a problem. I can imagine how difficult it is to survive here. As long as there is a chance to leave, no one will give up easily. "
Yi Tianxing muttered to himself.
He was already thinking about how to convince the people in the academy to take them away willingly. His goal was not just to take one or two people away. He wanted to take all of them away.
Letting any one of them go would be a huge loss. They were the treasures of the human race.
Confucius said, "Isn't it a good thing to learn and practice from time to time? Isn't it a joy to have friends coming from afar? If people don't know about it, but aren't they a gentleman? "
.....
Confucius said, "It's rare to see a filial brother who likes to offend his superiors. It's not good to offend his superiors but like to rebel. A gentleman's foundation is the foundation, and the Dao is born from it. Filial piety is the foundation of benevolence! "
.....
Zeng Zi said, "I reflect on myself three times a day: Am I disloyal when I work for others? Don't you trust your friends? Can't they learn it? "
At this moment, he could hear a clear and melodious voice reciting in his ears.
As they got closer, they could see that they were in an open-air pavilion. Students dressed in Confucian robes were holding books in their hands and reading aloud. In reading aloud, no matter the wording or the pauses. His voice rose and fell in an orderly fashion. When paired together, they gave off a unique charm, making one unconsciously immersed in them, gaining some comprehension of the true meaning of the book.
The meaning of reading a book a thousand times will show itself!
That was the logic behind it.
The more he read, the more he would understand the logic behind it. Every time he read it, he would gain different insights.
Yi Tianxing could tell that these students had a certain level of talent and cultivation. Clearly, it was a Confucian cultivation technique. He condensed the Righteous Qi.
After reading aloud.
He saw an old man in a green Confucian robe, holding a ruler in one hand and an ancient book in the other.
"Everyone, today I will be explaining the Book of Changes. 'The heavens are vigorous, a gentleman should constantly strive to improve himself. The earth is Kun, a gentleman should be virtuous. ' This is a cautionary saying from the Book of Changes. It talks about the spirit of the human race. "
The old man said slowly, "Some people understand the heavens as nature, the Heavenly Dao. For the heavens, the journey begins with a single step. The operation of the Heavenly Dao is to move in a better direction for oneself. We can see a gentleman as a human. "
"Above the Heavenly Dao, humans should be able to constantly strive to improve themselves in the face of difficulties. Relying on their own strength, they should grow step by step, walk out of difficulties step by step, and become stronger. In the face of difficulties, they should not be discouraged. Only by improving themselves can they truly become stronger. This is also the path of our human race's growth. Only by becoming stronger can we gain the respect of other races. Otherwise, how could the other races show respect to the Human Race? “
.....
The old man in green slowly paced around, explaining his understanding of the scriptures bit by bit.
Today's human race needed this spirit of constantly striving to become stronger. Only then could they once again stand at the top of the world. Obtain the status that they deserve. If the human race did not strive to become stronger, how could they experience hardships and return to the top?
Lin Hai stood respectfully outside, listening quietly.
Yi Tianxing did not disturb him, only quietly sizing up the old man in front of him, listening to the other party's explanation of the scriptures, and nodding from time to time. He thought to himself, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be my father-in-law, Cai Yong. Looking at their appearances, there are some similarities. Father-in-law's knowledge is indeed not bad. However, I can't directly reveal my identity as his son-in-law. If I say it out loud, he might not recognize me. He might even think that I have ulterior motives. Instead, it will have the opposite effect and result in a bad outcome. I should hide my identity first and talk to him first. "
Although he had imagined it to be good, reality made him very clear that if he did that, not only would he fail to achieve his goal, there might even be a bad outcome.
If someone suddenly appeared in front of him and said that he was his son-in-law and called him father-in-law, how would he feel? The first thought that came to mind would be that this person was a liar. His second thought would be that this person's motive was not pure, and he definitely had other motives. Ulterior motives. His third thought would be that this person could not be trusted.
A person's first impression was very important.
Under the premise that they did not know each other, they definitely could not use this method to build a relationship.
Unknowingly, many students stood up, bowed to the old man in green, and turned to leave.
They gathered in groups of three to five, discussing with each other.
"Mister Cai, I have something to report."
Lin Hai stepped forward and said.
When the old man in green heard this, a friendly smile appeared on his face, "Lin Hai, weren't you guarding the periphery of the academy? Why did you suddenly return? Could it be that something important has happened?" His gaze landed on Yi Tianxing. Based on his memory, he knew very well that he had never seen Yi Tianxing before. If not, he would definitely have an impression of him.
"Mister, this is a survivor that I found outside the academy. Furthermore, he came from the outside and was extremely lucky to pass through the blockade of the strange races and find the academy. This time, the matter that I am reporting is related to him. According to Brother Yi, the strange races outside have entered a period of estrus. Most of the strange races are mating. This is a very important matter, so I did not dare to hesitate and came to report immediately. "
Lin Hai said quickly.
He did not hide any of this.
"It is very possible that the strange races have entered estrus."
When Cai Yong heard this, a look of deep thought appeared on his face. He mumbled to himself, "Although those strange races are snake people, they are still snakes. At some point, snakes enter estrus. That is their breeding period, and snakes are the most lustful. Once they enter estrus, they cannot be easily restrained. During this process, there will definitely be flaws in the siege of Jixia Academy. This was a great opportunity for him to get out of his predicament. We cannot continue to be trapped here. The outside world is the real battlefield. "
With his intelligence, he immediately realized that during this process, the guards of the strange races would be at their lowest. There would be far more flaws than usual.
"Just this alone will not allow us to escape easily. Even if we do, we will have to pay a huge price. Not only is there fog nearby, but there is also an array formation in the surroundings. Although the Naga Tribe's vigilance is at its lowest when they're in heat, they're still the most violent. Once they're interrupted, they'll definitely go completely berserk and attack crazily. Their destructive power might even be above normal. "
Yi Tianxing interrupted calmly.
"If we don't do that, the Collegium will never be able to break free. Even if we do, we'll still suffer heavy losses. Cultivation base growth can't be achieved overnight. We're getting stronger, but so are the Outsiders. Moreover, the situation in the academy has already entered an extremely serious state. "
Cai Yong said calmly.
No one knew the difficulties of the academy better than him.
The existence of tens of thousands of people had caused the consumption of all kinds of resources to reach the limit. Food could be grown, but salt, clothes, and other daily necessities could not be grown. They could not even fill their stomachs. It had been a long time since the academy had smelled meat. Being sealed by the strange races, even a bird could not fly in.
Furthermore, even though the serpent-men were unable to break into the academy, they continued to release their poison into the air and into the academy. Many citizens had already collapsed from the poison. Although the poison that was transmitted into the academy had been mostly neutralized, it was still not completely spared.
If not for the Medicine Sect cultivators who had the means to dispel the poison, the academy would have suffered heavy casualties.
The further they went, the more dangerous it would be.
They really could not wait any longer.
If not, they could just kill their way out.
This was a rare opportunity for him to escape.
"The snake people's intelligence is definitely not inferior to the human race. This estrus could also be a trap. Breaking out of the encirclement is undoubtedly an extremely dangerous move. I think we need to think about it carefully. "Yi Tianxing said decisively.
The students of the academy were all precious treasures. It would be a waste if they died while breaking out of the encirclement.
This was something he would definitely not allow.
"Who are you?"
Cai Yong looked at Yi Tianxing and asked in a low voice. His instincts told him that the person in front of him was not simple.
