Chapter 2758: Iron Rod Ruyi, Calling a Deer a Horse

"The barbarians in the south destroyed post roads and attacked military towns in an attempt to regain their lost territory."

"The countries in the Western Regions watched with cold eyes, and Buddhism used this as a threat to spread the gospel to the Central Plains."

The eldest princess gradually increased her tone, her voice was no longer cold, but full of seriousness and heaviness as she asked.

"Dean, as a scholar, shouldn't you show your ambition and restore the country's prestige?"

Zhao Shou stared at the eldest princess for a moment, then moved his eyes away from the elegant and noble face, looked out the window at the lush green bamboo forest, shook his head and sighed.

"Yunlu Academy is now being rejected by the court and declining. The eldest princess knows it very well. Even if I become an official, it will be of no use. The eldest princess should please come back."

The eldest princess couldn't hide her disappointment in her eyes, and was about to say goodbye when there were rapid footsteps outside the Accord, and an old gentleman from the college hurried in and shouted.

"Dean, things are going well. The three great scholars in the courtyard got into a fight. It seemed like they were really angry!"

A gentleman speaks but does not take action. Generally speaking, scholars will pay attention to their own image and style, and rarely do such vulgar actions that are degrading to politeness. Unless they really can't help it, they will never fight.

The eldest princess was shocked when she heard this. She had also studied at Yunlu Academy and had seen several great scholars at Yunlu Academy quarreling over academic issues. Sometimes they would get anxious and even yell at each other. That kind of scene was very hot, but it never happened. No physical action occurred.

After all, the Confucian scholar has a noble status and is a teacher, so how can he easily take action? A gentleman can talk but not take action. The three of them showed this to their best, following their words and fighting with each other, but they never took action directly. I am afraid that they are not at odds today.

Zhao Shou frowned slightly, put down the tea cup in his hand, pinched the center of his eyebrows with his right hand, and felt a headache. No one in the academy was worried. With this scene, how could he dare to become an official? He was worried that once he left, these people The great scholar would tear down his family, and Yunlu Academy would no longer need to flourish.

Dean Zhao Shou sighed and felt tired. He needed to worry about the affairs of the students of the academy, and he also needed to worry about the affairs of the gentlemen of the academy. The affairs of these three great scholars needed him to worry even more, and even required him to spend more energy. He was very angry and asked somewhat bitterly.

"Why did the three of them fight again this time?"

"I don't know, Mr. Mu Bai was writing an inscription, and suddenly, two gentlemen appeared out of nowhere, and then they started fighting."

The old gentleman who tipped off the news was also confused, with a sad look on his face. He couldn't figure out the truth of the matter, so he just told what he saw.

Zhao Shou was helpless. There were so many things going on in the academy that he needed to solve. Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of the old gentleman's mouth, he had no choice but to find out and solve the matter himself.

Zhao Shou thought of this and stood up. His awe-inspiring righteousness surged out and he spoke slowly. His voice was loud and majestic, resounding throughout the room.

"The world is so close, I can come and go as I please within the academy!"

The eldest princess also stood up and hurriedly said to the dean.

"Take me with you!"

Suddenly, the figures of Zhao Shou and the eldest princess disappeared. The eldest princess only felt like a small boat in the angry sea. The surrounding scene was distorted. She felt dizzy and an extremely contradictory feeling came to her heart. , spatial distance has no meaning at this moment.

A statue of a saint holding a scroll caught the eye of the eldest princess. The candles in the hall were burning, swaying, and the smoke was curling up. There was a burst of noisy sounds and an uproar outside the hall. There were even fierce winds that rushed into the hall, making the candles fierce. Shaking, nearly extinguished.

Dean Zhao Shou had already rushed out of the hall, followed closely by the eldest princess, walking towards the entrance of the hall. The strong wind caused her dress to fly backwards, and the skirt of her dress was close to her chest. Her graceful figure was well-proportioned. It was obvious that the eldest princess was a broad-minded woman who was very in line with the aesthetics of men.

After walking out of the main hall, the eldest princess looked up into the void. The three great scholars stood in the air, and a majestic, righteous and unyielding aura surged out of their bodies. They collided with each other and stirred endlessly, setting off a gust of wind in the air, flying sand and rocks, which was very terrifying. .

Zhang Shen snorted coldly, with obvious anger on his face, and shouted angrily.

"Li Mubai, you are really too shameless. I had already tolerated you that day before I allowed Xu Qi'an to become your disciple. You actually did such a despicable thing today, which is unbearable? You old man Thief, why are you so shameless? All the knowledge of the saint has been read into the dog's belly?"

The eldest princess was surprised when she heard this. She didn't understand what outrageous thing Li Mubai had done to make Zhang Shen so angry that he even resorted to fighting, as if he had committed a heinous crime.

There was no trace of shame on Li Mubai's face, and he was even more calm than Zhang Shenhai. He retorted confidently and confidently.

"Zhang Shen, you are an old man. I am Ning Yan's teacher. I help him polish his articles and poems. Isn't it natural? You are jealous of my talent and are acting like a villain!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shen's face turned dark, as if stained by ink, and his whole body was shaking with anger. He raised his finger and pointed at Li Mubai, his mouth trembled, and he wanted to say something, but couldn't.

When Chen Tai heard that Li Mubai was so rogue, he gave up. His eyes widened, with faint anger burning and beating in them. His anger was obvious, and even his beard and hair stood on end, and he shouted loudly.

"Li Mubai, you are so shameless. I can't stand it anymore. Can you still try to save face? Are you helping your disciples polish their articles and poems? You are clearly taking advantage."

Li Mubai was very disdainful when he heard this. He was not at all guilty. As a teacher, what's wrong with taking advantage of his students? What's shameful about it? Not to mention shamelessness. How can you say that about a scholar? He responded very firmly.

"Xu Qian'an is a student of Zhang Shen and me. He was a step slower and didn't get the advantage. I can understand that he is jealous of me!"

"But what does this have to do with you? Ning Yan is not your disciple. Why are you so angry? It's like a dog trying to catch a rat. You are meddling in other people's business!"

Zhang Shen's words were not as sharp as Li Mubai's. He adhered to the principle of never talking when he could take action. He made up his mind and said one word: do it. He took out a book from his arms, glared at Li Mubai, and said firmly.

"Stop talking nonsense, let's see the truth with our hands. If we are evenly matched in terms of righteousness, let's compare other means."

As he said this, Zhang Shen tore off a page from the book and set it on fire. The moment the paper burned out, a green cloud appeared out of thin air and buzzed towards Li Mubai. They were beetles with green bodies and hideous mouthparts, like a swarm of locusts, densely packed.

"I have traveled around the world in the past few years, and it is not without gain."

Confucianism and Taoism are tolerant and inclusive. Being able to learn the unique skills of other systems, put them into writing, and put them into books, and then take them out and use them when facing the enemy, this is also one of the most powerful means for scholars, the bottom of the box. Now Zhang Shen uses this method, obviously he is very angry and can't care about anything else.

Seeing this, Li Mubai was not panicked at all. He also took out a scroll, tore off two pages, and set them on fire at the same time. One of the pages burned out and turned into a winged lizard, which looked very much like the dragons in the Western world. It was red, with an illusory body and bulging cheeks. It suddenly blew out a flame dozens of feet long, sweeping towards the beetles in the sky. The flames were violent and the beetles fell.

At the same time, another page of paper burned out and turned into a butterfly. The butterfly was uncertain, swimming and flying in the void, like a free fish, and instantly appeared in front of Zhang Shen. The colorful wings flickered gently, and countless light spots turned into light bands and fell on Zhang Shen's face, making him feel sleepy.

Chen Tai couldn't say anything to Li Mubai. His face turned red because of his sarcasm. Seeing that Li Mubai had the upper hand, he quickly took out a book and tore off a page from it. The paper burned, and a round, bright pill appeared. This was the Taoist golden pill, which flew out and hit Li Mubai.

"Chen Tai, you little villain, actually attacked me by surprise!"

Li Mubai was attacked by Chen Tai, and the smug look on his face disappeared instantly. His face flushed and his eyes were angry, awakening Zhang Shen who was in a daze.

The princess watched this scene silently. The sixth-grade Confucianist can learn the unique skills of other systems and put them into writing and record them in books.

The three great Confucian scholars fought fiercely in the air, attracting countless students from the academy to watch. Watching the frequent attacks in the air, they shouted that it was exciting, and even split into two factions, shouting loudly to cheer for the three.

Xu Zisheng looked up at the three great Confucian scholars fighting endlessly, and nodded frequently. They used Confucian methods to make him learn by analogy and benefit a lot. He wished that the three of them would fight with real fire and take out the methods at the bottom of the box to let him watch it.

Zhang Shen saw that he couldn't take down Li Mubai for a long time, and he suddenly had an idea and activated his ability to say what he said and said it.

"Li Mubai, your belt is untied."

Suddenly, Li Mubai felt a chill on his legs. He looked down in astonishment and saw that his pants had slipped to his ankles. His old face was hot. He felt ashamed of his old age. His mentality exploded instantly. He shouted with the idea of ​​dying together.

"Damn it!"

"I said, everyone's pants have fallen off."

Instantly, countless onlookers bent down in fear to pull up their pants. A milky white jade pendant on the princess' waist glowed in response, blocking Li Mubai's attack. He did not make a fool of himself, otherwise it would have shocked the court and the public.

Xu Zisheng's face changed slightly when he heard this. He did not expect these three great scholars to be so out of tune and affect innocent people. He quickly spoke.

"I am invulnerable to all methods!"

Xu Zisheng only cared about himself and did not help the Xu Qian'an brothers beside him to resist the attack. Xu Zisheng glanced at them, shook his head slightly, and said with some contempt.

"Caterpillar?!"

Xu Qi'an was furious, his face flushed, and he retorted,

"What do you know? This is the Ruyi Golden Cudgel, it's big and small, and it's made of iron. A man should be able to bend and stretch!"

Xu Qi'an was very stubborn, as if Xu Zisheng had hit him in the vitals. He looked up, and his cowhide was about to burst, very exaggerated!

"I don't believe it!"

Xu Zisheng said very seriously, and his tone was full of determination, which instantly dissipated Xu Qi'an's previous good impression of him.

"I don't believe you can be better than me! Do you have the ability to compete?"

Xu Qi'an was extremely unconvinced. Looking at Xu Zisheng, who was fully dressed, he was full of fighting spirit. He didn't think Xu Zisheng was better than him in this aspect.

"It's better not to use it. I'm afraid you will feel inferior and cause you irreversible psychological trauma!"

Xu Zisheng shook his head. He was a straight man, not gay, so how could he walk his bird in public?

Xu Qi'an held his pants in his hand, turned his head and looked at the sky angrily. The three great scholars were still fighting, and it was obvious that they were really angry.

Xu Zisheng felt the fluctuations in the Saint Temple, his expression slightly changed, knowing that the people who tried to stop the fight had arrived, and he sighed, feeling somewhat disappointed.

"It's a pity that the three of them didn't really fight, and it's about to end!"

Hearing this, Xu Qian'an looked at Xu Zisheng with a strange look. He didn't expect this adult to be so sinister. He really wanted to watch the fun without minding the big things. But what did he mean by saying that it was over?

At this moment, a majestic voice sounded, clearly reaching everyone's ears, shaking the void.

"Stop it, get down, you are fighting in front of all the students in the academy, aren't you afraid of losing face!"

As soon as the voice fell, the righteousness in the bodies of the three great scholars calmed down instantly. The three of them seemed to be out of control and slowly fell from the air. In front of them was the extremely angry Dean Zhao Shou. The three felt guilty, holding up their pants with both hands, looking down at their feet, as if the bluestone slab was full of attraction.

Zhao Shou had a gloomy face, sharp eyes, staring at the three great scholars, and asked angrily.

"What's going on this time?"

At this time, Zhang Shen and Li Mubai showed a tacit understanding. They looked at each other and reached an agreement. The dean must not know about this, otherwise there would be another person who snatched students.

"Nothing, just some academic disagreements, I couldn't hold back my anger for a while! That's why I fought back!"

"Dean, I'm reporting them, they're lying!"

Chen Tai chose to tell tales at this time, tied his belt, raised his hands, and looked very flattering, which made Zhang Shen and Li Mubai glare at him. I didn't expect that you, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would be a treacherous villain and a lackey!

"Dean, you know the poem "Sending Yang Qian to Qingzhou at the Sheep Pavilion"."

Zhao Shou then looked at the low wall, concentrated for a moment, and saw the line of small characters, and his heart suddenly understood. Zhang Shen and Li Mubai were very envious of the fact that Ziyang layman Yang Gong had left his name in history during this period, and he knew this. The poem on the low wall is indeed a good poem. Not to mention that it will become famous after it is spread out, there is a great chance that it will be passed down to future generations in the future. It is understandable that the two quarreled for fame.

Dean Zhao's face twitched, a little angry. Who did the two think he was? How could he do such a mean thing? Could he compete with them for students?

At this time, the princess with a long skirt dragging on the ground, a cold temperament, and a graceful and elegant appearance came over. She was charming and asked with a smile.

"Why are the two great scholars making such a fuss?"

Zhang Shen and Li Mubai saw the princess of Dafeng, and they did not dare to be rude. They bowed and said lightly.

"It's just a poem to encourage learning."

The princess's eyes turned to the low wall, and her beautiful eyes bloomed with a strange light. After a pause, she opened her cherry lips and praised.

"Good poem."

"I wonder who wrote this poem?"

Zhang Shen thought it was not good in his heart, but he couldn't answer it, so he could only bite the bullet and say it.

"He is my student. Don't worry about having no friends in the future. He is the one who wrote the poem "Who in the world doesn't know you"."

"It turned out to be him!"

The eldest princess' eyes moved slightly. She was a woman of extraordinary talent and was considered half a scholar. She was also very keen on poetry and naturally had heard of Xu Qiyan's name.

"He is also my disciple."

Li Mubai never forgot to emphasize this point. After all, it was up to Xu Qiyan to leave his name in history in the future.

The eldest princess loved talents eagerly, and the heartbeat on her face made Zhang Shen and the others feel bad.

"Where is he?"

The eldest princess' eyes were as bright as water, clear and shining, with a fatal attraction. She looked around and asked.

"Over there, with Xu Zisheng!"

Chen Tai turned his head to look at the other side, stretched out his hand and pointed, instantly exposing Xu Zisheng, Xu Qiyan and others.

The princess heard a familiar name again, and her pretty face was stunned. She didn't expect Xu Zisheng to be in Yunlu Academy. She knew the name of the son of Wu'an Marquis like thunder. It was just a coincidence that Xu Zisheng had been in the officialdom for three years, but the princess had never seen him.

"Lord Xu is also in Yunlu Academy?"

The princess' words were full of doubts. It's no wonder she thought too much. Xu Zisheng was born in Wu'an Marquis Mansion. He was an important force among the nobles of military merit. He was also a student of the Imperial Academy, the top scholar of the dynasty, and the deputy minister of the Ministry of Justice. It was too sensitive for him to appear in Yunlu Academy.

Fortunately, Zhang Shen and others were kind and did not trick Xu Zisheng. They explained to the princess.

"Xu Zisheng wanted to pay homage to the saint's temple, and it was his first time to come to Yunlu Academy!"

The princess put aside her doubts and turned to look at Xu Zisheng and others. He was dressed in a Confucian robe, with fluttering sleeves and flying clothes. His figure was ethereal and his temperament was unworldly, as if he was a fairy.

"Good bearing, good style, good looks!"

The princess praised repeatedly in her heart, and identified who Xu Zisheng was at a glance. Then she shifted her eyes slightly and looked at Xu Qi'an behind him. He looked heroic, but compared with Xu Zisheng, he was a little rough and not handsome enough. He looked like a rough warrior.

"But after all, he can't compare with Xu Zisheng, a banished immortal. Next to him, it's like a firefly compared to the sun and the moon. The gap is like a chasm!"

Xu Qi'an's appearance and bearing are not even comparable to his cousin Xu Xinnian next to him. Xu Xinnian's appearance inherited his mother's, handsome and feminine, a real pretty boy. If he goes to the brothel with Xu Qi'an, he can get at least 20% off.

Of course, the premise of the discount is that Xu Xinnian doesn't speak. This upright boy has a broken mouth. Once he speaks, people can't help but want to beat him up. The anger can't be suppressed at all.

Zhao Shou glanced at the students of the academy, frowned slightly, and said to several people.

"Let's go in and talk. Don't stay here any longer!"

The Second Saint Academy, where the Second Saint is enshrined, is the founder of Yunlu Academy. Because the Confucian Sage once preached here, the Second Saint established Yunlu Academy here.

The sub-sage wore a green double-breasted Confucian shirt and a tall Confucian cap. He put one hand behind his back and the other on his waist, looking into the distance. Beside the sub-sage was a smart and beautiful white deer, with cloud patterns faintly visible on its white fur.

Zhang Shen walked beside the curious Xu Zisheng, pointed at the white deer and introduced it.

"This white deer is the origin of the name of the academy."

Xu Zisheng nodded slightly and exclaimed.

"The sub-sage is elegant to ride a white deer as a mount."

The great scholar Zhang Shen looked at Xu Zisheng with a strange look and corrected him.

"It's not a mount, it's a wife."

Hearing this, Xu Zisheng's expression instantly became solemn, with admiration in his eyes, and he murmured.

"Riding a deer is a role model for our generation!"

Xu Zisheng had another man he admired in his heart. Before, there were only four people who were worthy of his admiration. The undead knight Ning Caichen, the grassroots hero Xu Hanwen, the immortal Han Dong Yong, and the insect operator Luo Shiyi.

"Calling a deer a horse, the Confucian sub-sage! Great!"

The horse here refers to Ma Zi's horse, Xu Zisheng's pun is very clever!

On the left and right sides of the hall, there is a stone tablet as tall as a person, one side is blank, and the other side is engraved with words. Xu Zisheng walked to the tablet and looked at it carefully.

"He died for his loyalty and repayed the emperor's kindness, and his name will be remembered forever - Cheng Hui."

"This is what the sub-sage of the Imperial College left here."

Zhang Shen's expression was solemn, showing some admiration and some disgust. Cheng Shi sub-sage was the culprit of the decline of Yunlu Academy, but he was also a Confucian sage, and it was not for him to comment.
