Chapter 434



434 The light of Buddha (1)

The three great Confucians tacitly didn’t take it. Instead, they exchanged glances.

Director Zhao took the folded paper and slowly unfolded it. Then he fell into a long silence.

Sensing Zhao Shou’s abnormality, Zhang Shen asked, “”Director?”

However, the Dean ignored him. He mumbled in a low voice as if he had fallen into some kind of emotion that he could not get rid of for the time being.

After a long while, Zhao Shou stroked his beard and smiled. “Good poem! I want to personally engrave this poem in the secondary Saint Hall and make it a part of the Yun Lu Academy. In the future, when future generations look back on this period of history, this poem will be enough.

“Why did you guys come to my restaurant for a drink tonight? let’s drink until dawn.”

The three great Confucians were in disbelief. As the head of the Confucians, how could Zhao Shou lose his composure over a poem?

Even the “fragrant floating moon at dusk” and “a boat full of dreams suppressing the Galaxy” were excellent works that people would clap their hands and call excellent. The Dean would only smile and praise them.

“See for yourself!” Zhao Shou handed over the paper.

Zhang Shen took it and read it with the two great Confucians. The three of them suddenly froze. Just like Zhao Shou, they were immersed in some kind of emotion and couldn’t get rid of it for a long time.

“The road is difficult, the road is difficult, there are many roads, but today I am at peace. There will be times when the wind blows and the waves break, and the sails of the clouds will reach the vast sea.” Li Mubai’s tears suddenly flowed down his face as he said in a hurt voice,

“This poem is about our Yun Lu Academy.”

Zhang Shen and Chen Tai clenched their fists tightly. They understood why the Dean had lost his composure. Li Mubai was right, this poem was written for Yun Lu Academy.

Looking back on the two hundred years since the establishment of the Imperial College, Yun Lu Academy had entered its darkest period in history. The students studied hard and worked hard, but in exchange, they were buried in cold storage. Their hot blood had nowhere to be spilled and their talents had nowhere to be displayed.

I can’t eat when I stop drinking, I’m at a loss when I draw my sword!

And these last two sentences were simply a stroke of genius, making the Confucians feel heroic and excited.

The greatest charm of poetry was empathy. It completely touched the hearts of director Zhao Shou and the three great Confucians.

“Director …”

Zhang Shen coughed and shook off his surging emotions. He said in a low voice, “”Xu cijiu is my disciple. I’ve trained him with great effort.”

“Jinyan, you’ve worked hard, you’ve worked hard.” Zhao shouxin said.

I, Zhang Jinyan, am responsible for cultivating talents for the Academy. It’s no trouble at all. Zhang Shen said with a sense of justice,

however, I have a small request that I hope the director can fulfill.

Chen Tai and Li Mubai instantly became alert.

“What’s the request?” Zhao asked gently.

“When you personally carve a poem, remember to write a few small words after your signature:Teacher Zhang Shen, careful with his words, from Jingzhou.”

Before Zhao Shou could reply, Chen Tai and Li Mubai said,”I object!”

Zhang Shen was furious. it’s a poem written by my student. What does it have to do with you? who are you to object? ”

“Bullshit!”

The two great Confucians blew at their beards and glared at each other.”Don’t you have any confidence in your student’s standard? Do you dare say you don’t know who wrote this poem?”

Of course, Zhang Shen knew that Xu cijiu was his student. As a teacher, he knew better than anyone how much his student was worth.

As for how Xu cijiu guessed the question correctly, Zhang Shen thought that Xu Qi ‘an had asked Wei Yuan for help.

“?”

Question marks flashed in Zhao Shou’s mind. He waved his hand to cut off the hearing of the messenger student beside him and said in a deep voice, “”What did you say just now? This poem wasn’t written by Xu cijiu?”

Hmph! Chen Tai snorted. Xu cijiu is good at policy, but his poems are mediocre. How could he come up with such an inspiring piece of work? ”

“It’s all because of my student, Xu Qi ‘an,” li Mubai continued.

“When did he become your student?” he’s also my student, ” Zhang Shenwei said with a smile. so, no matter how you write my name, it’s not wrong.

The three great Confucians started to argue.

After listening for a while, Zhao Shou understood that the poem was not written by Xu cijiu, but by his cousin, who was known as the best poet among the scholars.

In that case, Xu cijiu had also cheated.

“By the way, what’s the chief physician of our Hui Yuan?” Zhao Shou asked.

The Confucians were particular about character. The higher the rank of the Confucians, the more they paid attention to the firm character. To put it bluntly, every Confucians had extremely high personal integrity.

However, this didn’t mean that all the Confucians were using the ‘life’ of the ‘goddess Gu’, unless they were using the’ life ‘of the’ goddess Gu ‘at the time of establishing the life realm. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be a big problem for them to miss out on the small details.

But cheating was not a small matter.

“The laws of governance and military!” Zhang Shendao said. He was originally a great scholar known for his military tactics.

Governing a country was a ‘skill’ that every scholar had to learn. On top of this, the scholar could choose one or two other ‘courses’ that they specialized in.

Some students were in charge of the Book of Rites, some of them were in charge of the Doctrine of the Mean, and Xu cijiu was in charge of military law.

Zhao Shou nodded in relief. If it was military law, then there would be no problem. It would not affect his future promotion.

“You don’t have to argue over a poem. I think Xu Qi ‘an is giving this poem to the Academy through his cousin. To us, this is the greatest reward.” Zhao Shou said.

“You’re right, director.” The three great Confucians said in unison.

In the future. I’ll look for Xu ningyan to ask for a good piece … The three great Confucians thought at the same time.

In addition, they tacitly added in their hearts, “The despicable yang Gong!

……….

The next day, the Xu family held a grand banquet and invited friends and family. According to the wishes of the new year, the residence was divided into three areas for three groups of guests:The front yard, the backyard, and the courtyard.

His classmates and friends were sitting in the courtyard, and it was not convenient for outsiders to enter the backyard, so people from the same clan were sitting there. Second uncle Xu and Xu Qi ‘an’s colleagues were in the front yard.

The three groups of guests were perfectly divided, drinking and boasting by themselves. The scholars ignored the boorish martial artists, and the martial artists ignored the scholars ‘pretentiousness.

“Erlang is indeed a scholar, you’ve arranged everything in good order.” Xu Qi ‘an accompanied his younger brother around toasting and sighed with emotion.

“Why didn’t our teacher come?” Xu Qi ‘an asked.

Xu Erlang drank a few glasses of wine and his face was slightly red. He said helplessly, “”The servant who sent the invitation this morning brought back news that teacher had a fight with two great Confucians and was injured.”

“You got into another fight?” Xu Qi ‘an said. Were all the scholars of Yun Lu Academy so hot-tempered?

The two brothers turned and went to the inner courtyard, where everyone was from the family. Aunt and second uncle stayed at the table to accompany the Xu family. A few children who had eaten their fill were playing in the courtyard, envious of the Xu family’s courtyard.

Xu lingying was ashamed to be with her friends, so she ate from the beginning to the end and refused to move.

The members of the Xu family were overjoyed. A while ago, Xu dalang had just been conferred a title of nobility, and second uncle Xu had been promoted to the Huiyuan stage. This was a sign that the Xu family was about to rise.

While the younger generation was happy, they were also thinking about how they might be able to achieve meteoric success by relying on this big tree.

The happiness of the older generation was even purer. They cried out that their ancestors had shown their spirit and the Xu family was going to become a big family.

An elder stood up and patted the back of Xu Pingzhi’s hand. Lu Erdan, ”

“You’ve contributed a lot to the success of dalang and Erlang. You’ve cultivated both the Civil and martial arts. I happen to have a pair of grandsons at home. How many years will you help me look after er dan?”

Lu Erdan was second uncle’s nickname. Xu Qi ‘an’s father’s nickname was:It was donkey big egg.

Only the elders in the clan could call him that.

“Hahaha, good, no problem. Granduncle, feel free to send those two little brats over.” Xu Pingzhi was a little proud of himself. He even felt that it was his credit that Xu cijiu and Xu ningyan were successful.

You’re clearly not a son. Xu Pingzhi … Xu Qi ‘an smiled, but he was complaining in his heart.

Father really doesn’t know his own limitations, you’re just a vulgar martial artist … Xu niannian cursed in his heart.

When it came to educating her children, no one praised her, which made her very angry. But thinking of the past grudges with her nephew, she felt that if she stood up to claim credit, she would definitely be rebuked by him.

……….

At the West Gate of the capital.

The soldiers guarding the city suddenly heard a faint sound of Sanskrit. It was so ethereal that it seemed to come from the sky.

A soldier dug his ears and found that the Sanskrit was still reverberating in his ears. hey, did you hear any strange sounds …

As soon as he finished asking, he saw his colleagues opposite him and beside him picking their ears.

Buddha’s light! There’s Buddha’s light in the West! someone shouted from the city wall.

The soldiers at the foot of the city wall subconsciously clenched their Spears and looked into the distance vigilantly. A few seconds later, they saw a golden light of Buddha rising from the West.

It was like the rising sun … No, it was purer and more approachable than sunlight.

Unconsciously, they loosened their grip on the spears and looked up at the pure light of Buddha. Their eyes were pious and gentle, as if their souls had been cleansed.

The thousand-man commander who was guarding the city bit the tip of his tongue. The pain stimulated his brain and gave him a brief moment of clarity in order to resist the ” piety ” in his heart.

He pushed away the soldiers who were looking to the West. He grabbed the drum and hit it again and again.

Thump thump thump …

The muffled sound of the drum spread in all directions, shaking the hearts of the soldiers guarding the city and the people of the East City.

……….

“They’re here!”

Xu Qi ‘an, who was toasting, suddenly heard monk Shen Shu’s ravings in his mind.

“Here? what’s here?”

He was stunned at first, then he immediately realized that the emissary delegation of Buddhism had arrived.

Finally … The Buddhists of the Western regions had finally arrived in the capital.

They were here for the Sang Bo case and for monk Shen Shu.

They came with ill intentions.

He had been in this world for more than half a year, and he was about to meet the eminent monks of the Western Region for the first time.

The supervisor has already shielded me from heaven’s secrets. Buddhist monks should not be able to see through monk Shen Shu’s existence … As the organizer of sang Bo, I can’t avoid dealing with monks … I’ve heard that Buddhism has all kinds of strange divine powers, such as the “mind-reading ability.” If that’s the case, can they hear my thoughts?

Xu Qi ‘an looked as if he was facing a great enemy.

…………

[ PS: no way. I just took a look at the character card. The little mare has already reached 6000+ pen core? ] Hey, hey, don’t be like this. If it surpasses the male and female leads, how am I supposed to live at Qidian?

I’ll have to think about it carefully when we enter the next plot, although there’s a detailed outline.
