Da Qian 63, 5th of May. This was destined to be an explosive day, one that would cause all the scholars and Confucians in the world to be excited.
That was because this day was the day that Zhouyi College was completed by Second Saint Zhuangyuan Hong Yi.
The weather today was cloudless. The sun shone brightly in the clear sky, flowers bloomed, and a fragrance spread about.
The blue sky looked like it had been washed by water, like a sapphire. There was no flaw at all. The old people who had lived in Jade Capital City said that they had never seen such a blue sky and such good weather.
Outside Jade Capital City, the entire Green Willow Town, no, it had been renamed Zhouyi Town. The mountains and rivers within dozens of miles of Zhouyi Town seemed to be filled with a scholarly aura. The air was filled with the scent of books, making one feel refreshed and enlightened.
When a bunch of carriages came out from Jade Capital City and got close to Zhouyi Town, they could sense the scholarly aura in the air. The scent of books couldn't help but stop.
The curtains of the exquisite carriage moved and a person walked out.
It was the Four Seasons College Head, Confucianism Sect Head, Huang Tianbo. A few months ago, he was in the garden of Marquis Wu Wen, admiring the stars. Today, Zhouyi College was completed and he received an invitation. Naturally, he had to come. At the same time, he had prepared some plans to make Hong Yi unable to back down.
"Eh? The scent of the books is really special, covering dozens of miles around Zhouyi Town. It is like an egg-shaped sky. How majestic. I didn't expect that Hong Yi's foundations to be so deep. "
"Right, Brother Tianbo, this is a vast scholarly aura. Only when the ancient saints read to the extreme and are really meticulous would their bodies give off such true energy to cover heaven and earth. To open up one's wisdom and teach the people, this is indeed not to be underestimated. This time, Hong Yi is really good at creating momentum. He even brought out the Dragontooth Rice. Doesn't he know that treasures can't be shown to others? In the future, he will cause a lot of trouble. "
One of the carriages moved, and the dean of the Mountain River Academy walked out with the jade folding fan, the Mountain River Fan.
"The appearance of the Dragontooth Rice increased his reputation by a lot. During these few days, many Confucians who didn't come out to study also want to come to Zhou Yi College. Isn't it all because of Dragontooth Rice? " Shanhe Court Lord said, "If he becomes famous today and becomes the righteous path leader of the world, then it is okay for Dragontooth Rice to appear. Heaven and Earth Rare Treasures cannot be revealed to the public. This is just a weak commoner. "
"You're right, Lord Mountain River. Ever since ancient times, ambitious and ruthless people have obtained the Imperial Jade Seal, and as soon as they show it, the entire world will submit to them. That's the same principle. When the general trend fails, revealing a rare treasure is akin to courting death. But when the general trend succeeds, revealing a rare treasure is equivalent to stabilizing the universe. " Another great Confucian alighted from the carriage and stood on the ground. He looked up into the sky at the scholarly aura coming from the distant Zhou Yi Academy and nodded.
This great scholar was the dean of the School of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
"Then, according to Dean Wenli's opinion, this Hong Yi has succeeded?" Four Seasons Dean Huang Tianbo asked.
"No!" Liberal Arts and Sciences Dean said coldly, "Today, many Confucians are looking. Many great Confucians were watching, and so were the scholars of the world. Whether or not a carp can become a dragon, we will see after today. "
….
"Xiangxiang, I didn't expect you to be so good at etiquette. In today's grand occasion, he actually commanded the disciples to perform the drill in such an orderly manner. "
In the Academy of Divinity, Hong Yi and Yun Xiangxiang stood side by side, watching young men and women in green robes slowly walking around the entire academy. They busied themselves, striking the chimes, playing the instruments of traditional Chinese music. Everything was done in accordance with the etiquette set by the Middle Ages and the Ancient Gods. Everything was done meticulously.
At this moment, the entire Zhou Yi College was completed and the giant signboard was hung up.
The halls of the college were connected to one another. They were actually facing the palace in Jade Capital City.
In front of the main hall was a row of squares. There were many bronze tripods that stretched out 10 miles all the way to Bai Lang River. The bronze tripods burned within but there was no smoke. There was only the smell of incense.
The entire college was dozens of times larger than Marquis Wu Wen's residence. It was majestic and extraordinary. If the palace was described as majestic, then the Zhou Yi College was described as awe-inspiring.
It was the source of the world's Orthodox Dao, suppressing the capital and restraining the imperial power. At the same time, it made all the evil spirits in the world afraid to move.
This was also the reason why Hong Yi had decided to build the Zhou Yi College within 100 miles of Jade Capital City.
Originally, Hong Yi also lacked a group of scholars to practice etiquette. However, the Champion Marquis, Xie Wenyuan's disciples, and Yun Xiangxiang's side had some.
Now, with Yun Xiangxiang training and directing the etiquette, Hong Yi actually felt that the performance had the charm of the ancient and medieval times.
When the college was completed, the most important thing was etiquette. Everything had to be coordinated and not the slightest bit impolite. Otherwise, they would become a laughing stock. But now, Hong Yi compared the etiquette of the ancient and medieval times and looked at the decorations in the college. There was no impoliteness at all.
All of this was due to Yun Xiangxiang's efforts.
"Our Fragrance Order revolted 300 years ago. When we fought for the world, we paid attention to the orthodoxy of etiquette. At that time, my master specially passed down the etiquette and practiced it. Otherwise, how could the Fragrance Order sweep the world?" Yun Xiangxiang said. When she finished speaking, she blew lightly. The veil on her face suddenly turned into a fragrant wind and disappeared.
At this moment, Yun Xiangxiang had removed her veil and stood by Hong Yi's side, revealing a perfect face that could compare to the 'Celestial Maiden'.
If the Heavenly Fairy was said to be the perfect form of a classical court lady, then Yun Xiangxiang was the perfect form of a female immortal. Her eyebrows were like clouds, her nose was like jade, and her mouth was like that of a female immortal. All the female immortals in the world were inferior to Yun Xiangxiang.
"Miss Xiangxiang, your cultivation has improved greatly. The change in your temperament is worthy of celebration. "
Hong Yi was also shocked by Yun Xiangxiang's appearance. In his heart, she was actually on par with the Heavenly Fairy.
Dang! Dang! Dang!
The bell rang three times. Xie Wenyuan also walked in and said, "The Vitality Academy, White Deer Academy, Jiuxiang Academy, and many other academy heads have arrived. It's already a quarter past noon. In the guest hall, the various academy heads have already taken their seats and are waiting for Hong Yi to leave."
"Come, let's go and welcome them. Disciples, play music! Music of the Virtuous Wind. "
As Hong Yi spoke, he walked out leisurely.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
With a command, all the trained disciples in the entire academy immediately began to play. The sound of moral education instantly soared into the sky, enveloped the universe, and enlightened the world.
The music played in the palace was "Royal Wind", while the music played in the academy was "Virtuous Wind".
Royal Wind was like a sword, commanding the world, while Virtuous Wind was like Qi, enlightening the world.
…
"Academy Head, the Book of Changes is truly majestic. It conforms to the mysteries of the ancient Jambu Nine Palaces. The movement of geography, mountains, and rivers, and the essence of architecture. "
At this moment, a group of carriages stopped on the guest path in front of the academy's entrance. A great scholar alighted from the carriage, tidied his clothes, and straightened his hat.
When he tidied his clothes, all the disciples under him straightened their clothes at the same time. Their expressions were solemn, and they were well-mannered. They had the demeanor of the medieval philosophers who led their disciples around the country.
This was the Vitality Academy's Academy Head and the seventy-two disciples under him.
"We'll wait for Hong Yi to come out and welcome us. We'll see what music he plays. If the music isn't appropriate, we'll turn and leave," the Vitality Academy's Academy Head said expressionlessly.
Just as he finished speaking, suddenly, a melodious chime rang out, and the singing of musical instruments was heard. Everyone was chanting, and the Virtuous Wind sounded in unison.
"Hmm? This is the performance of the ancient Virtuous Wind. Ordinary academies don't have the complete inheritance. Even our academy has only inherited half of it. How can we hear the complete one here? "
The Vitality Academy's Academy Head was stunned. He listened carefully for a while, as if he was savoring the mysteries of the music, or learning the complete "Virtuous Wind".
"Academy Head, Hong Yi's here. We should go and welcome him," a disciple reminded him.
"Oh no, I was almost impolite!" The Vitality Academy's Academy Head saw Hong Yi walk out, and behind him were seventy-two disciples. Most Confucian scholars followed the example of the medieval saints when they took in disciples. They took in seventy-two core disciples, known as the seventy-two sages.
When he saw that Hong Yi was seventy-two steps away and was about to approach, the Vitality Academy Head quickly went up to welcome him. This was also etiquette. If he did not move when he was seventy-two steps away from the other party, he would be considered arrogant, and would be guilty of extreme impoliteness.
"Vitality Academy Head, your presence brings light to my humble abode. Please!" Hong Yi walked over. Behind him, Yun Xiangxiang was also dressed in a Confucian robe. She was radiant, and seemed to be the focus of attention. Many of the Vitality Academy's disciples immediately looked over.
The Enduring Monk had grown hair, and was also dressed in a Confucian robe. However, his powerful Qi and blood were circulating in his body, and his fists were like lanterns. He constantly showed that he was a Human Immortal, and many people were shocked.
In an instant, the Vitality Academy's Academy Head felt uneasy. He was intimidated by the other party's etiquette and aura. Before he calmed down, he did not dare to ask about knowledge.
"Academy Head Zhou Yi, please!"
After exchanging greetings, the Vitality Academy's Academy Head was led by Hong Yi to the Guest Reception Hall.
After that, Hong Yi welcomed dozens of academy heads and their disciples. In an instant, the entire Guest Reception Hall was filled with people. However, the Guest Reception Hall was very spacious. Just like the Immortal Hall on God Ancestor Mountain, it could fit all the Confucian scholars, no matter how many there were.
"Arrival of the Brahma Academy!"
"Arrival of the Prince Academy!"
"Arrival of the Sun Tzu Academy!"
"Arrival of the Wu Tzu Academy!"
…
After arriving at dozens of academies, the long chant of a ceremonial disciple startled many Confucian scholars. It turned out that the academies of the Philosophers Aristocratic Families with thousands of years of history had also arrived.
They were the Four Aristocratic Families that had an agreement with Hong Yi.
However, although many of the academy heads and Confucian scholars were surprised, they did not whisper among themselves. Instead, they sat upright and still, displaying their good moral cultivation. They were much more serious than the civil and military officials in the imperial court. This was a gathering of the world's knowledge, etiquette, and orthodoxy. No one was willing to lose their composure.
"Academy of Arts and Sciences! Shanhe Academy! Four Seasons Academy! Dali Academy! Zhengge Academy! Sky Edge Academy! Daluo Academy! Yuehua Academy! We've arrived! "
Another chant was heard.
"Hmm? Aren't these the eight academies of the Confucian School? They've come together. It's quite a scene. " Hearing the chanting of the ceremonial disciple, the Confucian scholars and the academy heads finally could not stand it anymore.
The Academy of Arts and Sciences, Shanhe Academy, Four Seasons Academy … These eight academies were also known as the Confucian School. They were of the same breath and branch, and paid particular attention to ethics, morals, and rules. They were one of the most orthodox schools in the world.
Now that they had come together, they were definitely not the kind ones. However, the Confucian scholars present were happy to see Hong Yi fight with them.
…
"Hmm? I seem to have an impression of these people? They're the people who were ridiculed by Mother in Marquis Wu Wen's garden ten years ago. " However, Hong Yi still went out to welcome them. When he saw the Academy Heads of the eight Confucian Schools, he could not help but have a thought.
However, how cultured was he now? Without batting an eyelid, he invited the eight Academy Heads and a few Confucian scholars to sit in the guest hall.
At this moment, Huang Tianbo, the Academy Head of the Four Seasons Academy, suddenly spoke!
His voice was loud and clear, and it spread throughout the entire hall. All the Confucian scholars in the hall could hear it clearly!
It's here!
Xie Wenyuan's heart skipped a beat.
"Oh? What's the matter, Academy Head Huang? "Hong Yi did not frown and said calmly.
"I heard that Hong Yi wants to compile the Book of Changes? You made the Qian and Kun trigrams to explain the world. I want to ask for some advice today. The Qian trigram you made explains the Way of Heaven and Earth. First, it's' Qian, Yuan, Heng, Li, Zhen ', right? "
Huang Tianbo said loudly.
"That's right. The Qian trigram of the Book of Changes, Qian, Yuan, Heng, Li, Zhen! That's what I did! " Hong Yi said, "Does Academy Head Huang think that Yuan, Yuan, Heng, Li, Zhen are not enough to explain the Way of Heaven?"
"Of course not! Let me ask you, Hong Yi, why is Li in the Way of Heaven? A gentleman values righteousness, a villain values Li! You put the word 'Li' in the Way of Heaven, are you saying that the Way of Heaven is a villain? That's ridiculous! I think you should change the word 'Li' to 'Righteousness'! The Way of the Qian trigram, Yuan, Heng, Yi, Zhen, is the perfect explanation for the Way of Heaven! Could it be that Hong Yi values Li but not righteousness? Do you want everyone in the world to become villains? "
The Four Seasons Academy's Huang Tianbo's voice was stern.
