"What an ancient architectural style. This is not a modern academy, but the architectural style of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It is an academy from the Spring and Autumn Period." Yi Tianxing felt the architectural style of the academy at the first sight. An ancient historical atmosphere came to him. The deep historical atmosphere made people secretly solemn. Instinctively, there was a kind of respect in his heart.
The most magical thing is that you can feel the atmosphere of history and culture here, as well as the strong atmosphere of saints. The strong fragrance of books flows in the air and can be smelled clearly. Compared with the strange fragrance in the mist, it is a completely different atmosphere.
As soon as I smelled it, I felt that the thoughts in my mind seemed to become more active.
It is very clear and the ideas flow like a spring.
"It is indeed a holy place for scholars and sages. The smell of books alone has a miraculous effect of enhancing literary thinking. Studying and learning here will increase your knowledge and accumulate talents faster. It is even more amazing. What a holy place for studying."
Yi Tianxing also admired secretly.
I felt a sense of yearning and curiosity towards the school in front of me. I wondered what kind of school could have such magical power. You know, an ordinary school, without a long history of accumulation, could not have such amazing effects.
Now I don’t know which academy this is.
“It’s not a complete academy.”
If you look closely, you can see that this is definitely not a complete academy, but only a part of it, or even just a small part of it. The building in front of you is obviously dilapidated. Moreover, overall, there are a lot of other buildings.
In front of us, there are only some student dormitories, dilapidated classrooms, dilapidated libraries, etc. It can be seen at a glance that a large part of them have disappeared.
"Brother, how did you get here? How did you get through the guards of those alien races? Come in quickly. The academy is blessed by saints and guarded by the saints' true words. Those alien races cannot enter."
Just as Yi Tianxing stepped onto the floor tiles of the academy area, he saw a young student in a scholar's robe jumped out from behind a broken wall and shouted quickly.
When he saw Yi Tianxing, he first looked at the floor under his feet. After seeing that there was no change, a look of relief appeared on his face.
This is the academy, and every inch of the ground contains the breath of saints. Once the aliens approach and have any hostility, they will react and produce strange phenomena. Now Yi Tianxing stepped on it without any danger, obviously, it was a real human.
"The snake people outside are in estrus, and most of them are mating. I came in without disturbing them at all, and walked straight here." Yi Tianxing saw the student in front of him, and a hint of strangeness appeared in his eyes. This is not an ordinary scholar. He has cultivation, righteousness, and talent. This is already on the road of cultivation.
This college is indeed not simple, not ordinary, but extraordinary.
"Those aliens have actually entered the estrus period. You are really lucky. However, once you arrive at the academy, you will be safe from now on." The scholar was also a little stunned when he heard this. He did not expect that the snake people outside had already entered the estrus period. This is big news. It must be reported to the palace master as soon as possible.
"Why can't those alien races enter this area?" Yi Tianxing asked.
"In our academy, we have the words of saints. Saints have studied here and learned knowledge. The remaining words of saints have aroused the righteousness between heaven and earth. For aliens, this is a fatal forbidden area. Once they get close, not only will their cultivation be suppressed, but they will also be attacked by the power of saints. Those aliens besieged the academy for a whole year, but they still couldn't break in."
The scholar heard this and said with confidence.
"I don't know what kind of academy this is, and why there are saints staying here." Yi Tianxing asked.
"This is part of the Jixia Academy." The scholar said with pride and piety.
"What? This is the Jixia Academy."
Even Yi Tianxing couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise at this moment.
He had thought about other academies, such as Lizheng Academy, Donglin Academy, Yingtian Academy, Yuelu Academy, Bailudong Academy, etc., but he never thought that it would be the legendary Jixia Academy.
What is the Jixia Academy? It is the most famous academy in Chinese history. It is also the first top academy in history.
According to records, the Jixia Academy is also known as the Jixia School.
It was an official institution of higher learning in Tian Qi during the Warring States Period, and was first built by Duke Huan of Qi, Tian Wu. It is located near Jimen, Linzi, the capital of Qi.
"Ji" is the name of a city gate in Linzi, the capital of Qi State.
"Jixia" is near the Ji Gate of Linzi, the capital of Qi, where the monarch of Qi established a palace of learning. Therefore, because the palace of learning is located near the Ji Gate, it is named "Jixia Palace of Learning".
The Jixia Academy was the world's first special higher education institution organized by the government and hosted by private individuals. This rare and spectacular "Hundred Schools of Thought" in the history of Chinese academic thought was centered on the Jixia Academy of Qi State, and the official school was the Huang-Lao School. As the central place for the academic debate of the Hundred Schools of Thought at that time, it effectively promoted the formation of a situation of academic debate in the world.
During this period, academic works came out one after another. There are "Songzi", "Tianzi", "Wozi", "Jiezi", etc., which are now lost. In addition, the compilation of "Guanzi", "Yanzi Chunqiu", "Sima Fa", "Zhouguan" and other books also involved the scholars of Jixia. Because many people are good at combining academics and politics to lobby those in power, there are as many as 76 scholars of Jixia who were awarded the title of senior officials during the reign of King Xuan. The existence of Jixia Academy created a good social environment for the contention of hundreds of schools of thought at that time and promoted the prosperity of academic culture in the pre-Qin period.
It can be said that this is the source of the Hundred Schools of Thought in the Spring and Autumn Period and the place of development. Various ideas collided in the academy, and eventually sparks of wisdom were generated, allowing various theories to spread and become famous throughout the world.
As long as you can occupy a place in the academy, you can occupy a place in the world.
At the beginning, it can be said that it was a great explosion of human wisdom and civilization in the history of China. In a short period of time, it was equivalent to the accumulation of hundreds or thousands of years of normal development. It was truly a brilliant era.
Almost everyone who wanted to become a member of the Hundred Schools of Thought had to found a school in the academy and pass the test. Various branches were set up, the main ones being Taoism, Confucianism, Legalism, Names, Military, Agriculture, Yin-Yang, and Light and Heavy.
During its heyday, the Jixia Academy gathered around a thousand wise men from all over the world, including famous scholars such as Mencius (Meng Ke), Chunyu Kun, Zou Zi (Zou Yan), Tian Pian, Shen Zi (Shen Dao), Shen Zi (Shen Buhai), Jie Zi, Ji Zhen, Juan Zi (Huan Yuan), Peng Meng, Yin Wen Zi (Yin Wen), Tian Ba, Er Shuo, Lu Lian Zi (Lu Zhonglian), Zou Zi (Zou Shi), and Xun Zi (Xun Kuang).
This is the most glorious era in Chinese history. It is the best era for scholars and students. It is the era with the most open minds.
Whenever Yi Tianxing thought about this, he felt extremely yearning for it.
"I didn't expect it to be the Jixia Academy. It is simply an unimaginable holy place. It has been destroyed in history, but I didn't expect it to appear right before my eyes. This is wealth, an immeasurable wealth."
Yi Tianxing knew too well the value and status of the Jixia Academy.
In the eyes of countless Chinese scholars, the Jixia Academy is an extremely sacred place. Its status is so high that it cannot be described in words. It is a holy place, a holy place in everyone's heart. A holy place that cannot be desecrated. An irreplaceable spiritual pillar. This is the birthplace of culture. A hotbed of various doctrines.
"According to legend, only when one's own doctrine is recognized by other schools of thought in the Jixia Academy, one is qualified to leave the academy and travel to various countries to spread one's own doctrine, formally establish a school, and recruit disciples."
Yi Tianxing's eyes suddenly changed when he looked at the ruins of the academy. He originally only planned to take away the students of the academy, but now he didn't even want to let go of the entire academy ruins. If he wanted to do it, he had to pack up the ruins in front of him and take them away.
"With the ruins of Jixia Academy, I can definitely use it to build a Wuxue Academy that is no less powerful than Jixia Academy, or even more powerful, with a deeper foundation. Standing on the shoulders of Jixia Academy, I can go higher and further."
Yi Tianxing took a deep breath and a thought secretly came to his mind.
"I wonder how many students and teachers there are in the academy now. Do the various schools of thought still exist in the academy?"
Yi Tianxing asked quickly.
There was also anticipation in his expression.
"When I descended into the academy, it was already very dilapidated. Only a part of it was left. The teachers and students in the academy were nowhere to be seen. I don't know whether they disappeared or scattered somewhere else. Now the academy is managed by Mr. Cai. The others all descended directly from various worlds when the myriad worlds merged. There are scholars, common people, former scholars, farmers, doctors, and so on. They are all in the academy now, reading the books of sages."
The scholar smiled and said, "Although there were no teachers or students in the academy before, there were various methods of cultivation left behind. The Confucian cultivation methods of Confucianism, the medical cultivation methods of doctors, etc. With the help of these classics, everyone can choose the schools of thought that they are interested in and join, and then they can practice the cultivation methods and classics they left in the academy. It is precisely because everyone can practice that they have the strength to resist the invasion of foreign beasts. Protect the Jixia Academy."
At the end of his words, a fiery look appeared in his eyes.
This academy is the spiritual pillar in their hearts. As long as they think that they are defending the Jixia Academy, even if it is only a part of it, they will have endless fighting spirit in their hearts. In the process, even if they die in battle, they can be passed down through the ages. Their reputation will be passed down through the ages.
What scholars want most is fame.
The temptation of leaving a name for eternity is irresistible to anyone.
