"Master Tongtian, you are amazing."
It was two days later that Wen Guanshan received the news that Su Yun had settled the dispute between the old and new schools. He was sitting on the Zhulong chariot heading to the Eastern Capital. There was no one else in the nearby carriages. All of them were his people, pretending to be passengers to protect his safety.
As the head of the Three Dukes, Wen Guanshan had already established his own huge bureaucratic network and intelligence network, and his influence was immense.
The position of prime minister was second only to the emperor, and not just anyone could hold it. Only the leaders of the few great families like Yuan Shuo were qualified to hold the position of prime minister, and had the ability and prestige to control the civil and military officials.
Wen Guanshan is indeed such a person. Xue Qingfu, Qiu Shuijing, Lu Hao and others fought each other to the point of bloodshed. The Grand Marshal and the Censor were replaced one after another, but he remained firmly in his seat, which shows his methods and the foundation of his power.
This time, he severely injured the Taoist Saint, the Holy Buddha, Lingyue, and Zuo Songyan, and fought fiercely with ghosts and gods such as the Master of Dongling, the Emperor of Wenchang, the Saint of Zither, the Saint of Chess, the Saint of Calligraphy, and the Saint of Painting. Then, when Xue Qingfu was attacked by surprise, he still severely injured Xue Qingfu. This record is truly shocking!
However, he himself was also seriously injured. Fortunately, he had great influence and immediately mobilized famous doctors and imperial physicians to treat his injuries!
In the carriage of the Zhulong chariot, there were four of the top ten famous doctors in the single unit Shuo, plus two of them were famous foreign doctors from overseas. That was why his injuries could heal so quickly.
"Even the 'Sixteen Chapters of the True Dragon' has been spread out. This Tongtian Pavilion Master..."
Wen Guanshan read the information sent by Dongdu. He was furious in his heart, but his expression only darkened slightly.
As the new generation leader of Tongtian Pavilion, Su Yun was able to quell the dispute between new and old schools of thought. Although this was beyond his expectations, it was also reasonable.
Before Su Yun and Lou Ban, there was also a young man who served as the acting leader of Tongtian Pavilion. He was also extremely talented and breathtaking.
Unfortunately, the young Pavilion Master’s fame was short-lived and he died in the war against foreign invasion.
The masters of Tongtian Pavilion are all extremely talented people.
However, Su Yun actually took advantage of the opportunity to calm down the debate between the new and old schools of thought and spread "Sixteen Chapters of True Dragon" as the topic for the Tiandao Academy examination. This made Wen Guanshan shocked and angry, but also somewhat impressed.
"If the complete "Sixteen Chapters of the True Dragon" is obtained by Di Ping, the Taoist Saint, the Saint Buddha, Qiu Shuijing, and Zuo Songyan, then my advantage will not be that great."
He rubbed his temple and whispered, "At such a young age, you overturned the game in Shuobei and rebuilt a new one. Now you want to overturn the game I built in Dongdu? This kind of mentality is still a child..."
"What will happen when you grow up?"
Wen Guanshan leaned back and sighed, "Fortunately, it is impossible for him to grow up. He can't stay here."
Yuanshuo Western Capital.
Xidu was originally the capital of Yuan Shuo and the oldest imperial city. However, as time progressed, after Lou Ban built Shuofang City, new cities were being built in various places and the original Xidu city was no longer usable.
Emperor Ai wanted to renovate the Western Capital, but there were many powerful families in the Western Capital with intertwined interests. It was almost impossible to tear the Western Capital down and rebuild it.
Therefore, Emperor Ai directly built the Eastern Capital and moved the capital there to cut off the source of the problem.
After Emperor Ai moved the capital to the Eastern Capital, he faced fewer constraints and less resistance from the major aristocratic families. After a period of relatively stable times, foreign invaders came and Yuan Shuo was defeated. Emperor Ai became depressed and died suddenly.
The aristocratic families in the Western Capital often migrated to the Eastern Capital to redistribute the power of the Eastern Capital, but many aristocratic families still remained in the Western Capital.
Among them is the Xue family.
The Saint's Residence in Shuofang City is just the ancestral home and usually there are not many people there. The Xue Family in Xidu is the headquarters of the Xue family.
At this moment, Xue Qingfu was recuperating in the Xue family. Among the top ten famous doctors in Yuan Shuo, half were treating Wen Guanshan, and the other half were gathered in the Xue mansion to treat him.
"That Doctor Dong is actually better than these famous doctors. If we can invite him, he will probably recover half a day earlier than Wen Guanshan."
Xue Qingfu was quite emotional: "What a pity, he is King Dong. One hundred and fifty years ago, I helped the God King and the Demon King to drive him off the throne. Many of his people died in that battle, leaving only him. After so many years, he is almost exactly the same as he was one hundred and fifty years ago..."
At this time, a young man from the Xue Mansion brought intelligence from the Eastern Capital.
Xue Qingfu looked carefully and when he saw that Su Yun actually chose "Sixteen Chapters of True Dragon" as the topic for the Tiandao Academy exam, his face darkened and he looked murderous.
The Xue family young man was terrified and stood there with his head bowed, whispering: "Dad, this Su Shizi..."
"It's Pavilion Master Su!"
Xue Qingfu struggled to get up, and the young man of the Xue family hurried forward to support him. Xue Qingfu panted and said, "Master Su is amazing. I have guarded the "Sixteen Chapters of the True Dragon" for more than 150 years. After he got it, he waved his hand and passed it on! It's good that you spread it out, but it's a pity that I have been preparing for it for a hundred years!"
He pushed the young man away, stood firm, and said angrily: "If Di Ping gets the "Sixteen Chapters of True Dragon", how can he be controlled and manipulated by me? Pavilion Master Su, you can't last long if you do this!"
Eastern capital.
Su Yun used "Sixteen Chapters of True Dragon" to examine and select scholars for the Tiandao Academy, so naturally there was a huge momentum, and there was an endless stream of scholars coming to the second level of Dongdu to comprehend.
This "Sixteen Chapters of True Dragon" is extremely exquisite. It is truly a remarkable study of the nature of things. After studying it for more than ten days, the skills and magical powers that one can comprehend may even surpass the unique skills handed down from some aristocratic families!
Even if you can't get into Tiandao Academy, getting this benefit is still extraordinary.
What's more, some scholars who came from poor families could only learn what was taught in official schools. "Sixteen Chapters of the True Dragon" could be said to broaden their horizons.
Even those ancient families and mysterious inheritors of the saints' unique skills came one after another.
When the day of the big exam came, hundreds of true dragon skills and magical powers were submitted by the scholars to the examination papers, piling up like a mountain.
Su Yun and the teachers of Tiandao Academy checked them one by one. Some people used the old sacred scriptures to interpret the "Sixteen Chapters of True Dragon" and comprehended the skills, while others used new knowledge to create different skills, which were unique.
The various magical powers created by these scholars are dazzling, and their creativity is breathtaking.
Examiners such as Su Yun and Ye Luo asked these scholars to personally demonstrate their skills and magical powers, and many examiners discussed together to select those outstanding scholars.
"Who says Yuanshuo people are not as smart as foreigners?"
A teacher from Tiandao Academy put down the thick file and sighed: "They just don't have the conditions to use their intelligence! If they had the conditions, they would be able to perform all kinds of magic and spells! Anyone who says that Yuanshuo people are not as good as foreigners is either stupid or evil!"
Su Yun also deeply felt the same way. He was greatly inspired by observing the skills and supernatural powers of these scholars.
He and Yingying studied the "Sixteen Chapters of True Dragon" together, and their progress was very fast compared to old monsters like Tong Qingyun and Xue Qingfu who had studied for a hundred and fifty years.
However, there were still many skills and supernatural powers of the scholars in this exam that he and Yingying had never imagined, and many of their wonderful ideas also amazed them.
The reason why Yuan Shuo's scholars were not as creative as those from other countries was that the education system was rigid and the children of aristocratic families got the best resources, but their numbers were small. The vast majority of scholars came from the lower classes and could not get a complete education or learn the most advanced knowledge, so they could hardly change their fate.
But after getting the opportunity to observe "Sixteen Chapters of True Dragon", their talents were finally able to shine and the creativity they displayed was amazing.
"The era that Mr. Shuijing and Zuo Pushe want may be just like what we are seeing now."
Su Yun looked at the bustling scholars and said silently in his heart: "It's a pity that in such a huge Yuanshuo, only this one role is as they wish."
Li Muge and Li Zhuxian also took part in this exam. One of them was proficient in swordsmanship with a very solid foundation, and the other was a master of the family-inherited magic spear and had a bright mind. They had also both received guidance from Qiu Shuijing and Su Yun, and ranked high among the scholars in this exam.
"Big Brother, the woman's name is Yu Qingluo. She is from Xidu and is from the lineage of Shennong. This kind of inheritance is rare, but it has existed in every generation and is very mysterious. In addition to the lineage of Shennong, there are also secret schools such as Dating."
Master Ye Luo handed a large pile of information to Su Yun and said, "This is the information that Senior Brother Bu Qiurong and I have collected. Senior Brother, do you think I am qualified to enter Tongtian Pavilion..."
Su Yun took the information and said, "Take a look."
"Hey!" Ye Luo left happily.
Su Yun boarded the carriage and returned to the Xianliangyuan in Dongdu. On the way, he looked through the information collected by Ye Luo. He saw that the Shennong clan was a school left by the ancient holy emperor, and the Dating clan, Dafeng clan, and Yousang clan were also related to the holy emperor at that time.
During that period, the world had just awakened from the destruction of the previous world. All things were rejuvenated, and the ashes and fire of the catastrophe were buried underground.
The world was in ignorance. There was a saint who built houses for people to live in, so he was revered as Da Ting. There was a saint who controlled the wind and rain, so he was called Da Feng. There was a saint who spun cloth and made brocade, so he was called You Sang.
The saints of that period were also emperors, so they were also called Holy Emperors, which is not consistent with the meaning of Holy Emperors in overseas countries today.
These schools have been passed down over the long years and were once glorious, but they rarely appear in peaceful times and only in times of turmoil.
"The information sent by Ye Luo said that these schools retained some records after the destruction of the last world and knew some terrible truths, but when Tongtian Pavilion asked these schools for them, they never gave them."
Su Yun put down the file and frowned slightly: "What do these ancient schools know about the truth about the destruction of the last world?"
Yingying sat on his shoulder, the word "curious" appeared on her forehead, and suddenly her eyes lit up: "It's actually very simple to know! If you become their son-in-law, we will all be family, so you will know, right?"
Su Yun shook his head and laughed, then suddenly came to his senses and said with a smile: "Yingying is right. If I join them and become the leader of these schools, they will probably tell me."
He arrived at the Xianliangyuan residence, and before he sat down, he heard a woman's voice: "My daughter Yu Qingluo wants to see the master of Tongtian Pavilion."
"Be a son-in-law!" Yingying clenched her fists and excitedly encouraged Su Yun.
