Shen Lian replied calmly: "Does that mean there is no distinction between education and distinction?"
"Of course." Guan Longzi said seriously.
Shen Lian looked at him and sighed: "Although it is not absolutely fair to teach without distinction, it is fair enough. Do you know the consequences of this?"
Guan Longzi was silent for a while and said, "If I don't do it, someone will do it."
After hearing this, Shen Lian laughed lightly and said, "Okay."
I don’t know if I’m saying this is a good thing or that Guan Longzi is a good person, but it doesn’t matter anymore.
Guan Longzi's recruitment of students and teaching in Emperor Qiu was an impact on Daxia's strict hierarchical system. It was a challenge to the barriers erected by the power of the nobles and royal families in Daxia.
Xuanzhen Temple and the Buddhist Dajue Temple have done similar things before, but without exception, they have been subject to stricter control in Daxia. Even though the seven sons of Xuanzhen have traveled in many directions, as guests of major nobles and even the royal family, they have not method to change this situation.
The Academy is a very large small world, but most of the places inside are bare and desolate. Even though Daxia had a large collection of books, they only occupied a small space in the academy.
As for this small world, it has naturally been known to the King of Xia. However, the royal family and the nobles follow different cultivation routes and cannot control this small world by refining the origin of the world through their souls.
So most of the time, this place was handed over to the Taishi Ling of the past dynasties. Although the Taishi Ling did not practice Qi to transform into gods, most of his spiritual cultivation was not inferior to those Taoist and Buddhist masters. Moreover, this is Emperor Qiu, even if the Taoists and Buddhists are powerful. The characters know such a precious place and dare not take it by force.
What are the benefits of a small world? Shen Lian is very clear about it. There is a magical power in Buddhism called 'Buddha Kingdom in the Palm'. The biggest difficulty in its practice is to find such a fragment of the world.
According to legend, the ancient Buddha of Ran Deng had twenty-four worlds, transformed into the heavens, and his magical powers were so vast that he could even compete with figures like the Emperor of Heaven. When the Emperor of Heaven was at his most powerful, he ruled all realms, and all the gods and Buddhas surrendered. However, there were some people whom he could not surrender to, and the Ancient Buddha of Burning Deng must be one of them.
Taoism also has a magic similar to "Buddha's Kingdom in the Palm", that is, holding the universe in one's sleeves.
This 'World in the Sleeve' is not a small magic that Shen Lian uses to store things now, but a peerless magic that can truly capture and control enemies. However, even with Qingxuan's background, there is no inheritance of this magic.
Shen Lian knew in his heart the preciousness of the Academy, but he did not have any greed. One day he would be able to create a world from the void.
However, he did not want the place where he lived to be so deserted, so he diverted water from the Xia Canal and planted green vines. He also borrowed some seeds from the sycamore tree outside Daxingling Mansion and sowed them on the land of the academy. , the school's appearance changed drastically in just one night. Ivy surrounded the main building of the school, and it was full of greenery. Outside the school, there were green trees and sycamores lined the road.
The green landscape that originally took ten or twenty years to form was achieved in one day under Shen Lian's Taoism.
Guan Longzi marveled at this, thinking that no matter what, it was worth letting Shen Lian live here.
He kept Shen Lian not only to seek advice, but also to understand the person in the prophecy.
… …
Guan Longzi, a great scholar in the Sheji Academy, began to accept apprentices and give lectures. The news spread like wildfire. High-ranking families like the Hu family, the Mingshi family, and the Xin family naturally looked down upon them, even if they were as knowledgeable as Guan Long. So what if he became the Taishi Ling like that? He was still just a lackey that King Xia could expel at any time.
There are countless powerful people from high-ranking families, and their influence is deep-rooted. Even if they are as strong as King Xia, they cannot uproot them, and they have to rely on them, so this matter is just a talking point among the big nobles.
However, there are also countless small nobles in Emperor Qiu. Their bloodline is not as strong as that of the twelve big families. It is difficult for them to reach a higher level just by relying on the power of bloodline. Therefore, these people are the main targets of Xuandu Temple and the Buddhist Dajue Temple. They are just Taoists. The Buddha family has powerful forces outside of Daxia and is the subject of strong surveillance by Daxia, so those small families do not dare to get too close.
Nowadays, Guan Longzi's lectures are also a new way out, because compared with the children of the big family, strength is inherited from the blood and increases with age. It is much more difficult for small families to improve their strength, and when the strength level reaches a certain critical point, There will be bottlenecks, and this kind of bottleneck can be overcome by the children of the big family in one fell swoop through the power of blood. Those small families with weak blood will have to find other ways.
Although Guan Longzi has no practice, even immortals such as Changshengzi from Xuanzhenguan have said, "You don't know when you see the teacher."
It means that after meeting him, I realized that my knowledge of 'Tao' was shallow.
Therefore, many people in these small families are stupid~stupid~desirous of action. Compared with the small clans in Diqiu, the foreign envoys stationed in Diqiu are much more eager. They have long admired Guan Longzi's name and know that this is the case. The great scholars in the world today give lectures. Even if they understand only a little bit, they can still have a huge impact when they take them back to their own countries.
This matter also reached the ears of King Xia, but although King Xia was headstrong, he was talented. He just didn't like Guan Longzi always nagging in his ears, and he still respected the little old man in his heart. Moreover, Guan Longzi has no foundation. If he opens a forum to give lectures, even if he can teach one or two powerful students, it will not be enough to shake his rule. Maybe he can also come up with something interesting to occupy his time.
After all, ever since he became the most powerful man in Great Xia and entered the realm of 'great witch' that was only available to his ancestors, there were fewer and fewer things in the world that aroused his interest.
So the king of Xia punished the person who tipped off the news with a cannon and said with contempt: "In my place, those who stir up dissension should be punished like this."
It's just that the aloof King Xia didn't notice that there was an additional young man in the Sheji Academy.
There are two schools in the academy, one is for Guan Longzi and the other is for Shen Lian.
Shen Lian told Guan Longzi that they would each teach their disciples and take exams after a while to avoid being boring.
They set a time, just after March.
Guan Longzi agreed, after all, it seemed to be an interesting thing.
Finally, the problem came. Guan Longzi was famous both at home and abroad, and was admired by the world. Everyone who came here came for him, but Shen Lian was just an unknown young man. If Guan Longzi hadn’t admitted it himself, no one would Thinking that he will be the only teacher in the academy.
There are even some people who speculate that Shen Lian is actually a student taught by Guan Longzi privately. Since Long Zi can choose, there is no need to come to Shen Lian to waste time.
Therefore, three days have passed. Guan Longzi already has hundreds of students with extraordinary talents, but Shen Lian still has no one here.
Until a young master came riding a Pegasus and Shi Shiran stopped at Shen Lian's school.
