Li Xuandu slowly stood up and looked up at the sky.

Li Taiyi followed Li Xuandu's gaze, but saw nothing, and couldn't help asking: "What are you looking at?"

Li Xuandu asked irresponsible: "A small mountain of green hills is like a hidden dragon and a creeping tiger."

Li Taiyi narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

Su Xi didn't say anything, her eyes stayed at the bottom of the mountain.

Li Xuandu retracted his gaze and asked Su Ling: "A guest official was selected once in sixty years. Qingqiushan usually coexisted with two guest officials. Before the new guest official grew up, the old guest official was still in control. So who was the previous guest official?"

Su Ling was stunned and replied: "We all call him Mr. Wu,"

"Mr. Wu." Li Xuandu asked again, "Which family is he from?"

Su Ling said: "Hu family."

Li Xuandu nodded slightly and said, "Since your ancestor Su Xi was suppressed into the Demon Locking Tower, it was because the Hu family had gained power and the Su family lost power. This is very reasonable."

Su Ling said in surprise: "Why...how did you know this secret?"

Li Xuandu glanced at Su Xi: "The Taoist sects have the same spirit, don't forget that our Qingwei Sect and Miaozhen Sect have a very good relationship."

Su Ling suddenly said, "So that's it."

However, Su Ling is not a little girl who is ignorant of the world. At this time, she began to doubt Li Xuandu's true identity. Even if Miaozhen Sect revealed such secrets to Qingwei Sect, no one could know it. This benefactor's identity in Qingwei Sect must be very good.

Of course, Li Xuan would not care what Su Ling was thinking. He didn't want to show his identity, but he didn't want to cause trouble. It was not shameful. If Su Ling could really guess his identity, he wouldn't deny it.

Li Xuandu asked again: "Who is this Mr. Wu?"

Su Ling obviously hesitated for a moment and said, "I am a native of Qizhou, who was born in the Sheji Academy."

Li Xuandu said to himself: "I have met Mr. Yuzhai Huang Shiyuan, the three high priests in the Sheji Academy Palace. Another high priest is very old and only accepts disciples to give lectures. Pei Yu is his disciple. In this way, only the last high priests are left, and it seems that the surname is Wu?"

Li Taiyi interjected: "It is indeed the surname Wu, and it is called 'Wu Fengcheng'. It is the youngest among many high-ranking priests, but this Mr. Wu has become a guest minister of Qingqiu Mountain before Jiazi, and in terms of age, it is somewhat inconsistent."

Li Xuandu pondered: "That's right, but it cannot be ruled out that the two generations of Confucian scholars had planned Qingqiu Mountain in advance."

...

The three university palaces of the Confucian school actually have predecessors. For example, the predecessor of the Wanxiang Academy was the Wanxiang Divine Palace, and the predecessor of the Sheji Academy was the famous Jixia Academy.

During its prosperous period, the Jixia Academy accommodated various schools of thought among the hundreds of schools of thought: Tao, Confucianism, Law, Famous, Military, Farming, Yin and Yang, Light and Heavy, and brought together about a thousand wise men in the world. Among them, the famous ones were the Confucian school's sub-sage sect, Xun Qing and others.

Especially Xun Qing, who had gone out and entered Jixia three times, took decades and served as a priest and presided over the academy three times. However, later Confucians met Xunzi quite coldly, believing that he was "high in talent and poor in learning", "not seeing sages", "liked to be different but not allowed, and dared to ignore the high-profile arguments," which was somewhat similar to the Taoist sect's cold greeting Yang Zhu.

But no matter what, because of Jixia Academy, the Confucian School finally recognized Xun Qing. After the Confucian School was the only one in the world, the Jixia Academy abolished all schools of thought and changed its name to Sheji Academy.

The Sheji Academy inherits Xun Qing's Taoist tradition, which is different from the Wanxiang Academy, which is known as the saint, the orthodox Academy of the sub-saints, and the Tianxin Academy of the Jilin Academy, which is the great achievement of the saints of the Heart.

Due to war and other reasons, the Sheji Academy is no longer located in the former site of the Jixia Academy, but has moved to Beihai Prefecture. However, the Sheji Academy is not located in the city like the Wanxiang Academy, but is built outside the city. Over the years, there have been constant wars in Qizhou. Whether it is the Qingyang Church or other soldiers and bandits, no one dares to offend the majesty of the Sheji Academy.

The three high-ranking priests of the Sheji Academy are honored by Mr. Yuzhai Huang Shiyuan. Now that Mr. Yuzhai has gone to the imperial capital, he has been half retired. Meng Zheng, the high-ranking priest, came forward to preside over the daily affairs of the academy. As for the third high-ranking priest, Wu Fengcheng, he does not show up often, and he is not in the academy for more than half a year.

However, on the early morning of the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, the high-ranking priest Wu Fengcheng appeared in the Sheji Academy.

Wu Fengcheng, who was able to become one of the nine high-ranking priests of the Confucian school in his forties, can indeed be described as "young". His appearance is also very consistent with the imagination of famous scholars and scholars. His temples are slightly frosty, his smile is gentle, his appearance is clear and slightly frosty, and his appearance is slightly frosty, and so on.

So when Wu Fengcheng was walking in the Sheji Academy, the people who came and went to the public respectfully salute the high priest regardless of their identity and age.

Wu Fengcheng kept nodding and greeting, without any airs, making people feel as if they were bathed in spring breeze.

This time he returned to Sheji Academy to meet Mr. Meng, who was also the high priest. Although the two did not have a master or apprentice, Mr. Meng's qualifications and age were there, and he should have met him before.

Soon, Wu Fengcheng came outside a library. This was Meng Zheng's favorite place to stay. Perhaps it was a common problem for the elderly. After getting older, he did not like to pay attention to those common things. This was the case with Li Daoxue, and the retired sons of Butian Sect, and the same was true for Meng Zheng. Meng Zheng had said more than once that there was a rise and fall of human affairs, so there was no need to pay too much attention to the so-called dispute between Confucianism and Taoism. Just let it go. However, such words are almost equivalent to a great rebellion in the Confucianism. That is, Meng Zheng is highly respected and dares to speak so bluntly. If it were others, they would be punished. At the very least, they would be expelled from the wall, and at the worst, their lives would be unsafe.

Wu Fengcheng had just walked into the yard outside the library. Before he could push the door to enter the building, he heard Meng Zheng's old voice coming from the library: "Stop, don't dirt the books all over the building."

Wu Fengcheng smiled bitterly, but he really stopped moving forward and never entered the building.

Immediately afterwards, the window on the second floor of the library was pushed open, revealing a figure full of white hair, which was the high priest Wu Jiu.

Wu Fengcheng took the initiative to speak: "Wansheng came back this time, because he wanted to discuss something with the old man..."

Before he could finish his words, Meng Zheng interrupted: "No need to say it, I will not agree. If you insist on doing this, I have no choice but to let me join you in the same relationship."

Wu Fengcheng said: "The Taoist sect is aggressive. If the Confucian sect is overturned, can the old man still stay out of the matter?"

Meng Zheng said expressionlessly: "Did the Taoist Sect never exist because of the Confucian Sect? If the Confucian Sect really cannot exist in the world, it is definitely not an external enemy. It will only be because later disciples have forgotten the teachings of the saints, which are unkind, unrighteous, unfaithful, and unfilial. If the Confucian disciples keep in mind the teachings of the saints, cultivate their morality, and be consistent in their knowledge and actions, they will continue to pass on the torch from generation to generation. Even if the land of the country in China is in full swing, it will be difficult to eliminate the saints' Taoist priests."

Wu Fengcheng remained silent.

Meng Zheng continued, "You ask yourself, if the Confucian school is full of people as smart as you, even if it can flourish for a while, can it be passed down for thousands of years?"

After saying that, Meng Zheng did not give Wu Fengcheng the chance to continue speaking, so he closed the window directly.

Wu Fengcheng stood there silent for a long time, but in the end he did not walk into the library, but turned around and left.

Due to time reasons, Wu Fengcheng could not stay in the Sheji Academy for too long, so he had to rush back to Qingqiu Mountain.

At dusk, Wu Fengcheng came from Sheji Academy to Qingqiu Mountain Cave Heaven, just in time for the fox celebration and the selection of guest officials.

Wu Fengcheng looked at the main peak with brilliant lights from afar and sighed inwardly. Everything was in control, just hoped that there would be no changes.

Generally speaking, the Hu family and Su family in Qingqiu Mountain are the key points. After the incident of the owner of Qingqiu Mountain and the fox woman Su Xi, the Su family, which originally dominated, had to give way to the Hu family. However, the Hu family has been weak for a long time and cannot sit firmly. In this case, the Hu family decided to use external forces to suppress the Su family, so the people from the Sheji Academy before Jiazi became guests of Qingqiu Mountain.

The Sheji Academy is not a Bodhisattva who saves the suffering, so he naturally has some intentions and takes this opportunity to infiltrate Qingqiu Mountain, intending to control the entire Qingqiu Mountain and make it a vassal force of the Sheji Academy.

However, there are differences in this matter, both inside Qingqiu Mountain and inside Sheji Academy.

On the Qingqiu Mountain, the Hu family tends to enjoy the cool under the big trees, hoping to find a backer, even if it gives up some freedom and sovereignty. After all, in the past thousands of years, the Hu family has been suppressed by the Su family for most of the time. The Hu family wants to overwhelm the Su family in one fell swoop, which is an excellent opportunity.

The Su family refused. In addition to rejecting it for the sake of rejection, the Su family also considered that the Su family had produced more than one immortal immortal. As long as the Su family could produce another immortal immortal, the situation would be completely different. Not to mention the distance, the Qingwei Sect, which is close to the point, just because of the Li Daoxu, has jumped from a second-rate sect to become a first-rate sect that can be compared with Zhengyi and Wudao Sect. If Qingqiu Mountain defected to the Sheji Academy, then the Sheji Academy would definitely not let the Su family produce another immortal immortal, and there would be no tree under the tree. Even if the Sheji Academy changed its mind, the Hu family would definitely use the hands of the Sheji Academy to suppress the Su family.

Another thing is that if Qingqiu Mountain no longer adheres to neutrality and instead stands on the Confucian school, it will inevitably involve the dispute between Confucianism and Taoism, then Qingqiu Mountain is likely to become a victim of the dispute between the two families.

To take a step back, even if you really want to join the Confucian school, the Hu family cannot dominate the matter. This is because the Su family invited people from the Tianxin Academy to compete for the guest officials.
