Right now, Shen Herong, who was standing in front of Zhang Dongyun, looked like a little girl about ten years old, but she was actually hiding her strength.
As one of the few great scholars in the world, she, who had reincarnated and started cultivating again, had made rapid progress in Confucian cultivation.
Rather than saying that she was improving, it was more accurate to say that she was gradually recovering the level of her previous life.
At this moment, in Zhang Dongyun's eyes, the person in front of him was not a ten-year-old girl, but a cultivator who had already reached the seventh realm of Confucian, the level of Knowledge.
Compared to herself back then, there was still a gap.
However, Blood Shadow and Gu Hechuan, who were also at the seventh realm, and even Abbey Dean Fuzhen Guan, who was one realm higher than her, were all fooled by her.
Zhang Dongyun could see the other party's cultivation realm at a glance.
However, he did not show it on his face.
"Big Brother, are you testing me again?"
Shen Herong could not help but laugh.
Then, above her head, an illusory pillar of air rose straight into the sky.
In the illusory pillar of air, there were faint but innumerable specks of light the size of corn flashing and floating.
These specks of light gradually condensed into similarly illusory words, rising and falling together with the pillar of air.
"With your talent, it should be higher," Zhang Dongyun said calmly.
"Big Brother, you have a good eye."
Shen Herong smiled. "I am indeed researching some new knowledge."
Zhang Dongyun raised his eyebrows slightly. "It has something to do with Taoism?"
"That's right." Shen Herong raised her hand, and her fingers drew in the air. "I recently discovered that Taoism talismans are quite interesting."
Although she said that, Zhang Dongyun knew that in this life, she was mainly walking the path of Confucianism.
Taoism cultivation was more of a reference to other mountains' stones that could be used to improve jade.
"In my city, you can cultivate in peace."
Zhang Dongyun said, "However, I also have something to entrust to you."
The girl in front of him nodded. "Big Brother, please tell me. Thank you for taking me in, I have to pay some rent no matter what."
"Your original profession." Zhang Dongyun said, "Teaching and educating people."
Shen Herong smiled and nodded. "Who are the students?"
Zhang Dongyun, who looked like Evil Emperor, got up from his seat and walked down step by step. He walked past the girl and headed out of the hall.
Shen Herong naturally followed him out.
The two of them went straight out of Daming Palace and stood outside the palace gate, overlooking the city of Chang 'an below.
"They are your students."
Zhang Dongyun looked around at the city. "All the people in this city."
"All … commoners?" The girl's eyes suddenly flashed with unprecedented brightness.
So much so that it made people feel dazzled.
Zhang Dongyun acted as if nothing had happened. "That's right. Everyone, regardless of gender or age."
"Old people count?" Shen Herong asked.
It wasn't because she was questioning him, but because her eyes were sparkling.
"It's just basic reading and writing. The old people have poor learning ability, so the test can be less strict. But I believe it won't be a problem for you." Zhang Dongyun's tone was calm.
Hearing that it was just the most basic literacy, Shen Herong was not dissatisfied. Instead, he was excited.
"Big Brother …"
She turned to look at Zhang Dongyun. "Are you going to force people to enter the school?"
"Why not?" Zhang Dongyun asked.
The corners of Shen Herong's lips curled upwards slightly.
"Of course … not."
Zhang Dongyun nodded. "Very good."
In this world, gentlemen and scholars could still talk and not use their hands.
But different from Zhang Dongyun's previous life, here, talking could really kill people.
The powerful Confucian cultivators' words were like spring thunder, and their words danced. Their words and deeds shocked the world.
The lectures of great Confucian scholars were subtle and profound. For the listeners, they could create an effect similar to enlightenment.
Of course, it was impossible to make people's Qi in an instant.
However, with Shen Herong's current level of cultivation, even the most stupid people would be able to quickly grasp the knowledge imparted in the classroom if she were to lecture the commoners.
Besides, Zhang Dongyun only wanted her to help the people eliminate illiteracy.
It could be said that it was overkill.
With the Invincible City system, Zhang Dongyun could do the same himself. It was faster and more effective.
However, it was only limited to when the people were in the city.
If the people left Chang 'an's range of influence, they might forget how to write and degenerate back into illiteracy.
Of course, it didn't matter if it was just to complete the system construction task.
But it was necessary to avoid the possibility of revealing the truth about Invincible City.
Besides, City Lord Zhang was naturally happy to slack off if there was someone else to do it for him.
"People naturally think more when they know more."
The girl looked at the city below and said in a somewhat old-fashioned tone, "Even if rulers have the ability to educate people, most may not be willing to do it."
Zhang Dongyun said casually, "Haven't you done many similar things in the past?"
Shen Herong smiled. "I'm not as domineering as you, Big Brother, to forcibly drag people into the school."
"There's always a beginning," Zhang Dongyun said indifferently. "After that, there's no need."
Shen Herong nodded. "It's already difficult for a poor family to produce a noble son, let alone a farm.
Grandparents who go to a private school in the countryside, parents who go to the state capital's academy, and grandchildren who go to prestigious schools.
This requires the accumulation of generations and time.
But if there's no initial start, there's no need to talk about the future. "
She restrained her emotions and her expression returned to normal. She looked at the city gate in the distance.
"However, it seems that Big Brother's city doesn't prohibit mortals from entering and exiting. It's more convenient for news to travel.
I still want to be a child for a while, so I'd like to ask Big Brother to help cover for me. "
This suggestion was exactly what Zhang Dongyun wanted.
Shen Herong didn't want his true identity to be known by the outside world, and so did he.
It was hard to judge how the other Twelve Kings of Hell would react when they learned that Big Brother and Twelfth Sister were together in Chang 'an.
Maybe they wanted to take advantage of the situation?
That was exactly what Zhang Dongyun wanted and he welcomed them with open arms.
But what if the other party was so scared that they ran far away and hid?
It might be better to keep it a mystery and not admit or deny it.
"It's very simple."
Zhang Dongyun waved his hand at Shen Herong's suggestion.
As rays of light spread out, her figure suddenly changed, turning into a tall and slender young man.
"It seems that Big Brother doesn't just practice martial arts anymore?"
Shen Herong looked down at his hands and feet and couldn't help laughing.
"You've always looked like this when you were teaching."
Zhang Dongyun waved his hand again and the girl changed back into a ten-year-old girl.
"You can continue to be a child in normal times."
"Thank you, Big Brother." Shen Herong smiled and thanked him.
Zhang Dongyun changed the topic.
"I was so excited just now that I almost forgot one thing. What do you think of the groups of people who entered the secret cave?"
Shen Herong's smile faded slightly and her expression turned solemn.
She looked up at Zhang Dongyun, who was much taller than her.
"Big Brother, have you interrogated them? Do you suspect that Yang Li's men are among them? "
