Chapter 29: The Two Ritual Gates
The teaching officials of the Imperial Academy are named Doctors. Although this official position is not of high rank, those who can become Doctors of Imperial Academy are all great scholars in the world. And the more than ten people in front of them are Doctors of Imperial Academy.
Lin Xi glanced at these doctors in Taixue, and found that these people had a long and steady aura, which was obvious that they had a profound skill in qi cultivation. But he did not use his divine thoughts to observe these doctors. On the one hand, he was extremely disrespectful to others, but on the other hand, the Taixue Institute was so important that there would be no masters in charge. Although the basic policy of this trip was to act high-profile, if you do too much, you would become unscrupulous!
"Today is the annual opening of the Imperial College. I believe everyone who comes to the rules will know. I won't say much, just keep up with it!"
The head of the Imperial Academy spoke to everyone in front of the mansion. As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and left with the others. His words were simple, but he was majestic.
Then the students did not say much, and followed these doctoral students into the mansion and walked into the Imperial Academy silently. As the doctoral students of the Imperial Academy just said, since the establishment of the Dashang Imperial Academy, it has been using the assessment rules set by the first Taifu. Therefore, the assessment content of this first level has long been known to everyone in the world!
"Brother Bai, who is this doctor just now? It seems that all these doctors are led by him."
Lin Xi deliberately approached the descendants of "Bai Xiaosheng". As expected, they didn't go far. The two people who had been talking just now started whispering again.
"Brother Wu must pay attention in the future. The person who just spoke was not a doctor of Taixue. This person is the famous 'Taichang Sacrifice' - He Yan," said a young man surnamed Bai in a low voice.
Lin Xi couldn't help but look at He Yan a few more times when he heard this. "Taichang Sacrifice" is the official position of Taichang Temple, which is second only to "Taichang Qingqing". There are only one Taichang Qing, and it is ranked among the six ministers and nine ministers, all of which are the Lords of the Jinqing Guanglu Dafu. However, there are several "Taichang Sacrifice" who are responsible for several institutions related to the rituals of the ancestral temples. He Yan is naturally responsible for the Sacrifice of the Taixue.
The Taixue University covers a very wide area. After passing through the mansion gate, there is a large square that is thousands of feet wide. Under the leadership of He Yan, hundreds of students walked through the square and came to the two arches.
Two arches were built side by side, with the door ten feet high, but the door hole was only ten feet deep. It took a normal person only six or seven steps to cross it. However, these two arches were one of the major symbols of the Taixue University. Even the name of this sect was not under the plaque written by the first Taifu in front of the mansion!
This sect is called "Rongyi Gate". It is also the first level used by the first Taifu of the Da Shang Dynasty to assess students who want to enter the Taixue Academy. Those who can pass the "Rongyi Gate" mean that they have half their feet entered the Taixue Academy. And behind the Liangyi Gate is the real Taixue!
"Those who want to enter Jinxiu Courtyard walk past the left door, and those who want to enter Shanhe Courtyard walk to the right door. Come one by one, let's start!"
"Taichang's sacrificial wine" He Yan said loudly. Then he led several other Taixue doctors to walk over from the outside of Liangyi Gate. Several people stood behind the door, stood with their hands behind their backs, waiting for these students to pass through Liangyi Gate.
All the students looked at each other. Everyone had heard of the title of Liangyi Sect, but no one had experienced it personally. According to past experience, as many as half of the students were eliminated every year because they could not pass the "Rongyi Sect"!
Just as everyone was talking in a low voice, but no one walked into the Liangyi Gate first. Li Yan and Wei Dongliu even went out and walked towards the two door holes. As soon as the two moved, the audience was stunned and they looked at their backs quietly, hoping to see something from them.
Lin Xi also looked at the two of them, and saw that Li Yan chose the door hole on the left, while Wei Dongliu chose the door hole on the right. This was not beyond everyone's expectations. Li Yan was very knowledgeable and naturally wanted to enter the Jinxiu Academy. Wei Dongliu's martial arts genius had no suspense in choosing Shanhe Academy.
At this moment, the two people in front of the Liangyi Gate also looked solemn, but both of them were extremely confident people. They walked in without any hesitation. With everyone's curiosity, they saw that everything was normal and they walked over in a few steps without any strangeness. However, after passing the Liangyi Gate, they looked back at the door hole at the same time. Lin Xi found that after just these few steps, a few drops of sweat were overflowing between their foreheads!
When Li Yan and Wei Dongliu walked past the Liangyi Gate easily, two more walked into the door. Although they were still two people on the left and right this time, only the student who chose the "Jinxiu Academy" in the left door successfully passed. The person who walked through the right door suddenly sat on the ground after taking two steps.
"You can leave!" He Yan said, seeing the man in the right door stepping out two steps and sitting on the ground, without any emotion in his tone.
Everyone looked at the student who had withdrawn from the right door curiously. He saw that he, who was already full of energy, had deep fear in his eyes at this moment. Lin Xi knew in his heart that as a person who practiced martial arts, this person might have stopped at this life's martial arts!
Then many people walked into the "Rongyi Gate". Many people walked over in a few steps, but more people stopped in the door. Those who had not walked through the "Rongyi Gate" all showed their loss and fear. Seeing these people, Lin Xi was also very interested in the "Rongyi Gate". Finally, he also walked towards the Liangyi Gate.
However, Lin Xi stood in front of Liangyi Gate and did not choose to enter for a long time. His move naturally attracted the attention of others, and He Yan also turned his attention to Lin Xi.
"The student still has something unknown, I hope the master of the wine will answer the questions."
In front of Liangyi Gate, Lin Xi bowed to He Yan, but his body did not move, but suddenly asked.
He Yan glanced at Lin Xi, but did not make any statement. At this time, a PhD from the Imperial Academy behind him leaned over to He Yan's ear and whispered a few words. Then He Yan uttered a word lightly!
"speak"
Lin Xi bowed again when he heard this. But his next words made everyone present talk.
"Students practice both civil and military education. I wonder if they can enter another college after choosing one of the colleges?" As soon as Lin Xi said this, everyone's eyes immediately came to their eyes. More of them were disdainful. These people thought Lin Xi was too arrogant.
"It is not prohibited to communicate between the two colleges in the Imperial College. If you enter the 'Jinxiu Courtyard', you can go to the 'Shanhe Courtyard' to listen. Similarly, students of the 'Shanhe Courtyard' can also listen at the 'Jinxiu Courtyard'." He Yan also turned his eyes on Lin Xi, but there was still no change from him!
And everything is indeed what Yan said, although there are very few people who practice both civil and military cultivation, there are also many such geniuses in the history of the Taixue University. Therefore, the Taixue University does not prohibit the students of the two colleges from communicating with each other.
"The student understands." Lin Xi replied, then headed towards the door hole on the left. He finally chose to lead to the 'Jinxiuyuan'.
Lin Xi stepped into the Liangyi Gate and suddenly felt a shock in his mind. Then the scene in his eyes changed, and in an instant it was no longer the Liangyi Gate. Even the entire Taixue Institution and the hundreds of people in front of the Liangyi Gate no longer existed.
At this time, Lin Xi was in a void, surrounded by chaos. And at his feet, four large characters with bright light shining light spread the void, and the four characters were connected together like a bridge. And these four characters were the four words "loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness"!
Looking at these four words, Lin Xi already knew that the real test of the Liangyi Sect was the spiritual imprint left by the first Taifu in this sect. These four words were like the images in the classics "The True Interpretation of Guiyuan" and "Xiaoyaoyou". When someone stepped into this sect, it would naturally inspire the four words left by the Taifu. I just don't know what would happen if I really stepped into these four words?
Lin Xi took a deep breath, and when his feet moved, the person stood on the first word "loyalty". As soon as he stood up, he suddenly felt that there were countless voices in his mind questioning himself. These voices seemed to resound throughout his soul, and questioning became torture. At this time, if some people who are not pure in their minds or have ulterior motives, they would be difficult to withstand. This is why those people did not pass the Liangyi Gate.
At this time, Lin Xi Lingtai was clear and was not moved by these sounds at all. He just silently recited "A clear conscience" in his heart and continued to move forward. This "A clear conscience" was what Zhang Moben often taught him and Ning Caichen that the principles of heaven and earth are the same as the law of heaven and earth. As long as he has a "A clear conscience" in his work, why not be afraid of questioning!
Lin Xi's remaining three words "filial piety", "benevolence" and "righteousness" made Lin Xi even easier to walk. He could find ways to save the fox mother without fear of everything, which shows his filial piety. As for benevolence and righteousness, Lin Xi never did anything against these words. Naturally, there would be no obstruction.
Lin Xi walked out of Liangyi Gate a few steps, and he couldn't help but look back. Those steps just now did seem like a long time ago, but to others, he only took a few steps casually. Although these four words did not cause any obstacles to Lin Xi, he admired the first Taifu even more!
The Taifu left these four words only torture people's hearts and had no attack power. But if the Taifu replaced these four words with others, how powerful would it be? Lin Xi did not doubt at all, the first Taifu was enough to kill him with the spiritual imprint left by the first Taifu!
At this time, Lin Xi couldn't help but look at the Liangyi Sect on the right. What kind of spiritual imprint will the Taifu leave for the martial arts students to test?
"Okay, congratulations on passing the first level of the assessment. As long as you pass the next level, you will truly become a child of the Imperial College!"
Chapter completed!
