The Zhongyuan world is very strange. It started with the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, then Xia, Shang, Yin and Zhou, until the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period, Qin Shihuang was unified, and the Three Kingdoms, Wei and Jin Dynasties, the historical trajectory was not much different from that of the earth. But in the late Three Kingdoms period, after Sima Yi proclaimed himself King Xuan, history changed tremendously.

Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, a hostile aura of hostility towards literati appeared in the Zhongyuan world. After Qin Shihuang unified China, he abolished the culture of other schools on a large scale and made the tragic decision of burning books and burying scholars.

Qin Shihuang killed countless literati and destroyed countless classic masterpieces. A large number of Qin King soldiers swept the people. Any bamboo slips, grass leather, silk paper, almost everything that could record words was plundered and burned into fire.

When the Chu-Han dispute occurred, it seemed that Qin Shihuang's style was followed. The Chu King destroyed the faith of gods, destroyed temples, cut down totems, the Han King cut off cultural heritage, and forbidden children to read and read. Literati in the world were successively cleansed, and cultural heritage declined. Foresighted literati organizations could only search for minstrels and pass on precious cultures from mouth to mouth.

When history reached the Three Kingdoms, Wei and Jin Dynasties, Sima Yi finally won the world. Then he made a decision that amazed the world, and continued to kill literati and dissidents in large numbers, destroy faith and culture, and focus on killing minstrels. This was simply to cut off the roots of culture!

Perhaps it was the anger of heaven and people who resented it, causing the divine punishment to come. The strange phenomena in the Zhongyuan world were everywhere, mountains were destroyed, sea water was filled, forests turned into hills, deserts turned into oceans, alien stars hung on the night sky, alien races frequently invaded, the human world was imprisoned in a narrow area, divided into ten countries, seven mountains and six islands, and the rest were full of foggy forests and monster mountains, full of dangers.

This year is called the first year of God's Punishment. Since then, the biggest task of the human world is to fight against various monsters, resist foreign invasions, build anti-city dangerous roads, operate military operations, and defend the country.

After the first year of God's Punishment, the most valued and most popular and most demanded profession - warriors - appeared.

Warriors practice external forces, pursue the limits of human muscles, can skillfully control various weapons, fight on the front line of the battlefield, and cause damage to all kinds of monsters most directly. Moreover, warriors are prone to making military achievements. Over the past few hundred years, many martial sects and martial saints have been born. They are the most important core defense force of mankind.

Because of the existence of monster mountains and mist forests, humans have obtained more and more rare herbs and minerals. Spiritual herbs can strengthen the body and stimulate the limits of the body. Minerals can forge various weapons and strengthen magical weapons. Those descendants of the Shennong clan and descendants of the Yue Kingdom in the Spring and Autumn Period gradually exert their racial talents and contribute their own strength to human wars.

In addition, the most produced beast souls are the beast souls of monsters who died in battle. Those with great wisdom find ways to use beast souls, so the profession of craftsmanship was also produced.

Craftsmen also worship Emperor Fuxi, but they are more inclined to study the skills of Gongshu and Mozi. For hundreds of years, craftsmen have emerged one after another. Craftsmen have developed a hundred schools of thought, and ordinary daily machinery can be activated by beast souls. Complex equipment such as beast soul carriages are not uncommon. Over the past few hundred years, many high-end puppet masters and god control masters have emerged, and even the control of siege giant weapons is not a problem.

In this kind of environment where all the purpose of fighting monsters is to become a burden, and even if a monster fighter is not defeated, his skills are not as good as the lowest-level first-level craftsman apprentice. He cannot carry it on his shoulders, carry it, run it, and do it. Even helping the spirit master grow herbs and pull the bellows for the blacksmith, it is in the way.

In addition, before the God's Punishment, the literati were almost massacred, and once the articles and classics were destroyed, after the God's Punishment, humans had to use violence to fight violence and advocated more force. As a result, within two hundred years after the God's Punishment, the status of literati gradually declined, and in the end it was only higher than that of low-level subordinates and prisoners, becoming a low-level profession that many people looked down upon.

"The literati are so unlucky. They are so low-cost. They are pitiful with few resources. They are simply surviving and surviving in the cracks! It seems that there is really no way for Lu Changyuan and others to recite "Green Clothes" and "Ge Sheng" to my 'corpse'. In fact, they also want to understand the 'immers' and 'heart'. It's probably really difficult!"

After Yue Heng figured out this, he finally untied a knot in his heart, and a wisp of resentment in his heart disappeared. He forgave Lu Changyuan and the others who were also poor students.

He raised his wine glass, touched Min Xuhuai again, drank it all by himself, and then asked, "When did the situation of the literati start to improve?"

"Shi Ji, a genius literati who was rare in a thousand years, is said to be a descendant of Fuxi Emperor. The documentary records show that Shi Ji took Fuxi's code to turn literature into a dragon, recited the strange books of heaven and earth, and led to the divine power of stars. The divine palace gave birth to dozens of talismans, easily killed the beast king, destroyed demon mountains, burned evil forests, flooded ghost valleys, and saved humanity in the sea of ​​fire, and finally became the Emperor Wenzong! From then on, literati who believed in Emperor Fuxi began to rise. After the literati opened the divine palace, he could nurture various talismans, strengthen the body of literati, and leverage the power of the divine emperor, with diverse means and flexible changes. Literati gradually entered the military battlefield, and then participated in the rule of the country and government, rising for three hundred years!"

After Min Xuhuai finished speaking this paragraph, he looked at Yue Heng with interest. The stories he told were recorded in the sect’s classics. As spiritual masters, they must read and learn all such common sense and major events in the world, otherwise how can they go independently to the world?

Min Xuhuai took the opportunity to hold up the wine glass and naturally concealed his eyes. He was observing Yue Heng's expression.

It seems that Yue Heng is the kind of poor student who has never received the opportunity to learn systematically. He cannot read many classics, so it is normal not to know these situations.

But even such a poor student was able to give birth to restorative talismans, and he was born on his own before the spring exam, which made Min Xuhuai feel incomprehensible. There must be some secret here.

He knew very well that the combat power of high-level literati was also quite terrible. As a second-level spiritual doctor who everyone competed for, he had the honor of participating in some demon beast mountain adventures and wars. Even those fourth- and fifth-level literati did not dare to run away from his sight. Once injured, he had to seek treatment as a low-level spiritualist.

If a literati mastered a large number of restorative essays, it would be certain that the rise of a literati was. As for other scenes, Min Xuhuai was just a low-level spiritual master and dared not think too deeply.

Yue Heng's hand stopped, and the wine glass rolled around his lips. He was slowly interpreting the sentence just now.

"Shi Ji, this name is really special. He is the strongest literati who appeared after the first year of Shen Punishment. According to the literati rating standards in the "Wenzong Collection", the first-level boy student is one literati, the second-level student is two, the third-level bachelor is four, and the fifth-level to eighth level is divided into small and large-level advances. If you want to become a nine-level Wenzong, Shi Ji will have at least sixty-four literati in his body."

If you want to give birth to sixty-four talismans, Yue Heng felt his scalp numb: "In addition, it is inferred from the "Wenzong Collection" that the literati who gave birth to one hundred and twenty-eight talismans in the divine palace can be respected as the tenth level of literary saint by the human race. I am afraid that only Emperor Fuxi, who created oracle bone inscriptions, could know so much in this world. I have never heard of anyone who has reached the tenth level in the past five hundred years!"

But Yue Heng paid attention to another question, which he had doubts before. The printing and distribution of books are not complicated, but why are there so few literati in this world?

So he asked, "Didn't the level 10 martial saints of warriors and the level 10 spiritual gods of spiritual masters appear in the documents and classics? I heard that among the craftsmen, there are also level 9 sect craftsmen who are attacking level 10 sects. Why is the most powerful genius in our literati history, but there is no sage in the literary sect? It's impossible that Shi Ji is ugly!"

Min Xuhuai smiled and said something that Yue Heng couldn't understand: "Because you are literati! I won't talk about this, drink!"

Because they are literati, they cannot reach the peak of level ten?

Why does this sound so strange?

But Min Xuhuai didn't explain, and Yue Heng couldn't ask further questions, so he had to give up for the time being.

The beast soul carriage was picked up and dropped off, free food and drink, free treatment, free chat, and no requirements were made. Min Xu was too generous, so generous that Yue Heng felt that he was sick.

Min Xuhuai is a spiritual master, but stupid people cannot become spiritual masters. When they think of this, Yue Heng felt spontaneous resistance.

"I hate dealing with smart people, as this will make my IQ seem to be not high enough!" Yue Heng thought so.

Since Min Xuhuai was making a fool of himself, he just pretended to be stupid. There was only one purpose, and interests could be shared, but information could never be shared.

After an hour, the full potential of Xilingling made Yue Heng a little drunk, but he did not take the initiative to say any changes related to him. Min Xuhuai never asked any questions about the "birth" secret charm from beginning to end, and it seemed that he was not in a hurry at all.

After Yue Heng got drunk, Min Xu smiled and asked someone to carry him into the car, and personally took Yue Heng back to the Zuixian Tower.

...

After finishing the day of the review, there are still many tedious tasks to be done, so as to appease other officials, communicate with the superior literary department, organize the spring examination documents, copy the list, etc.

After the banquet for inspector Su and settled many supervisors from Qi County, Wenzhangyuan finally finished his work. He left the county government and returned to his mansion in a carriage with great worries.

He was greeted by the brothers Kuang Qing and Kuang Yun who had been waiting for a long time. They had been waiting anxiously in the living room of Wenfu for a whole afternoon. Now they have been waiting for half a night. Finally, they saw the teacher come back and greeted him respectfully.

"Master Wen..." Kuang Qing was interrupted by Wenzhangyuan as soon as he bent down to salute.

"You guys go back and prepare for the next day to retake the exam!"

Kuang Qing and Kuang Yun looked at each other, and their joy flashed, responding in unison: "Thank you, Master Wen! Students retreat..."

The two of them retreated respectfully, noting that the Wenzhang Academy was different from the previous calmness, and they seemed a little anxious at this time.
Chapter completed!
