I am a prince in Zhutian Films

Chapter 206: Visiting the Mountain Gate

Jixia Academy.

"Second Brother, I am now officially your disciple, right?"

Baili Dongjun sat in front of the chessboard, collecting the chess pieces while asking Lei Mengsha on the opposite side.

"Of course, haven't the ceremonies been completed?"

"Then may I ask, where is my master?"

Three days had passed since he saw Ye Dingzhi and Yi Wenjun off, and he had not seen the world's number one master.

Logically speaking, since he has become a disciple, the master will naturally teach him some martial arts every day. After all, that was the case when he was in Qiandong City.

But this Mr. Li has never appeared in the school at all. The key point is that apart from him, other brothers are busy with their own things, and there is no master to give guidance.

However, Miss Ye Qing has already moved to Young Master Liu Yue's courtyard, where she practices martial arts every day and teaches him a little in her spare time.

Lei Mengsha smiled and said, "Master never teaches disciples directly, he always lets disciples learn on their own."

Baili Dongjun was stunned: "What's the point of me worshipping this master?"

"You'll know later."

"Okay." Baili Dongjun sighed and turned to look at Xie Xuan beside him: "Master Xie, what book are you reading today?"

In his opinion, Xie Xuan was a complete weirdo, because he found that apart from eating and sleeping, Xie Xuan spent the whole day reading like a sculpture.

Lei Mengsha took over the conversation and said jokingly, "I heard that there are bookworms in the world before, but I didn't believe it until I met Master Xie that year. Then I believed it."

Xie Xuan was too lazy to pay attention to Lei Mengsha or talk, so he just picked up the book and let Baili Dongjun and Lei Mengsha take a look.

"Longyue Sword Technique." Lei Mengsha was startled and asked in surprise, "Are you reading the sword manual?"

"Second Senior Brother also knows swords?" Baili Dongjun asked.

"I was born in Leimeng, and I have been forbidden to touch swords since I was a child. However, my wife is the heir of Jianxin Tomb's Heart Sword. I have heard of this set of Longyue Sword Technique, which is a superb sword technique that has been lost." Lei Mengsha explained, and then looked at Xie Xuan with some doubts: "But Mr. Xie, can you learn this sword technique by just reading books without practicing?"

Xie Xuan turned a page and said calmly: "I practice in my heart."

Lei Mengsha was stunned: "Practicing sword in your heart?"

"When I read a book, I see a move and then I use that move in my mind. After finishing a book, I have learned the sword technique." Xie Xuan said and turned another page.

"Mr. Xie is also a master?" Baili Dongjun asked curiously.

Xie Xuan shook his head: "I have never fought before, so I don't know. Our sect has always treated people with courtesy, and almost all of our disciples don't know martial arts."

Baili Dongjun was a little confused.

Subconsciously, he classified Xie Xuan as a weirdo. Why did he say that? Because he found that there were too many weirdos in Apocalypse City, and the logic of many things was simply incomprehensible to him as a normal person.

Lei Mengsha was already used to it, and asked with a hint of sarcasm: "What if someone can't be persuaded by courtesy, or simply doesn't want to be reasonable, what do you do?"

Xie Xuan glanced at him and said as a matter of course: "Then beat him until he talks sense."

Lei Mengsha choked, while Baili Dongjun looked weird: "That's not right, don't you know martial arts?"

"I said almost no one, which means someone can do it. I have a junior uncle who is very knowledgeable and has as high martial arts skills as his knowledge. He is a thug in the sect. If anyone is unreasonable, he will be beaten! If anyone does not listen to reason, he will be beaten! He will beat them until they listen and admit their mistakes!"

Xie Xuan had just finished flipping through the book in his hand, but he did not pick up the next one. Instead, he took a sip of tea and smiled slightly, saying, "I haven't seen Junior Master for several months. I suddenly miss him a little. I don't know how he is doing now."

"Your junior master is so powerful?" Baili Dongjun asked in surprise.

Lei Mengsha smiled and said, "Baili Dongjun, you don't know Xie Xuan's master yet, right? His master's school is called Shanqian Academy, and people say 'There is no road in front of the mountain, but you can reach the sky in one step'. It is a place that is not inferior to our school."

Xie Xuan sighed, "So far, there are only two people in our Shanqian Academy who cannot be reasoned with, and the junior master cannot be reasoned with either."

"Who?" Baili Dongjun asked curiously.

"One is your master." Xie Xuan rolled his eyes, then his face straightened: "The other is Emperor Chu."

"My master is no worse than Chu Zhao." Although Lei Mengsha also knew his master's temperament and was quite unpopular, he also treated Xie Xuan differently based on his performance.

Xie Xuan understood what he meant and shook his head, "It's different."

"How are they different? Aren't they both embarrassing for your Shanqian Academy?"

"My master couldn't argue with Mr. Li, and my junior uncle couldn't beat Mr. Li, so in the end they could only agree to do Mr. Li sixteen small favors and one big favor, and then Mr. Li would not bother our Shanqian Academy anymore. Although my master couldn't argue with Mr. Li, he did not convince our academy. The Emperor Chu was different. He convinced everyone in our Shanqian Academy, and even made many scholars follow him on the spot. It's a pity that I was in Tianqi at that time and didn't get to see his style." Xie Xuan said with some regret.

"Has your Shanqian Academy defected to Xi Chu?" Lei Mengsha was shocked.

Xie Xuan shook his head: "It's not that they are joining the army, but some people are going to Yuelu Academy to teach and study."

Lei Mengsha was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "Oh, I forgot to tell you that your junior master has come to Tianqi."

"Mr. Li asked him to come?" Xie Xuan was stunned, thinking that it seemed that Mr. Li asked his junior uncle to come and help with that big favor.

Sixteen small favors, including his trip to Tianqi to deliver books, have been completed.

Therefore, his junior master uncle could only come to complete the last big favor. However, to be honest, his junior master uncle is not a member of Shanqian Academy now, so this big favor should not fall on his junior master uncle.

Lei Mengsha hummed and asked again: "Did your Shanqian Academy really not surrender to Xi Chu?"

"Are you going to report to the Ninth Prince?" Xie Xuan smiled nonchalantly, "Junior Master and some of his disciples are indeed studying and working at Yuelu Academy, but that is their own personal choice. Shanqian Academy does cooperate with Yuelu Academy, but our Shanqian Academy does not belong to any country. Shanqian Academy is an academy for scholars all over the world, and there is no question of joining any faction."

Lei Mengsha nodded: "Your junior uncle has joined Chu Zhao, right?"

"Yes."

"Do you know why?" Lei Mengsha looked puzzled: "If I remember correctly, Mr. Chen is from Beili."

"Who knows, maybe it's the personal charm of the Emperor Chu."

Xie Xuan smiled, put away the books on the table, stood up and said, "Okay, I have to leave too."

"Are you leaving?" Baili Dongjun asked.

Xie Xuan hummed: "I have almost finished reading the books here, it's time to leave."

"Going to Yuelu City?"

Xie Xuan did not deny it: "Well, there are still many books in Yuelu City that I have not read. To be more precise, there are many books that I have read but still do not understand. I plan to ask the King of Chu for advice."

"Are there any books in the world that you can't understand?" Lei Mengsha asked.

"There are many books in Yuelu City that I cannot understand. Just in mathematics, I am not even as good as the six or seven-year-old children in Yuelu Academy. Don't underestimate the King of Chu. His strength is not just in terms of martial arts."

Lei Mengsha was stunned for a moment: "You go say hello to Mr. Chen?"

"Since Junior Master Uncle didn't see me when he came to Tianqi, he may not see me now. I'd better not disturb him. Junior Master Uncle won't stay in Tianqi for long anyway. He may have gone back before I even reach Yuelu City."

Xie Xuan carried the bookcase on his back, clasped his fists and said with a smile: "The road ahead is long, we'll see each other again if we're lucky!"

"Well, see you later."

In the inner courtyard of the school, in an attic corridor.

Looking at the figure leaving the school with a book box on his back, Li Changsheng couldn't help but joked, "Are you really not going to meet Xuan'er?"

"My current status does not allow me to have too much interaction with him." Chen Ru shook his head and said with a smile, "Come to think of it, does your Majesty really agree to let me take over your position?"

The school is different from the Shanqian Academy. The school was established by the Beili Dynasty and is also an institution of the court. Naturally, there are officials to supervise it, and the official position of the school manager is the Jijiu. So far, the Jijiu of the Jixia Academy is Li Changsheng. Although he can make the final decision on the affairs of the school, if the school wants to change someone to serve as the Jijiu, it still has to inform the court.

Li Changsheng was stunned: "Your Majesty?"

"Of course, I am now a minister of Western Chu."

"why?"

Why should we surrender to Western Chu and Chu Zhao?
Chen Ru understood what Li Changsheng meant, but did not answer. Instead, he asked, "Mr. Li, what do you think we scholars study for?"

"Reading makes one wise." Chen Ru nodded and continued to ask, "Then what do you think we scholars pursue?"

"What I think is definitely different from what you think." Li Changsheng said with a smile.

"Since ancient times, becoming an official has been the lifelong pursuit of every scholar, so many scholars have studied hard for decades just to help the king rule the country." Chen Ru smiled and said, "These people can be called capable officials, but capable officials do not only refer to loyal officials or upright officials, but also include treacherous officials."

"Some people have outstanding abilities, they handle state affairs for the monarch and benefit the people. Such people can be called capable ministers."

"Some people are equally capable, but are good at calculating, forming cliques for personal gain, and have struggled in the court for many years, experiencing many storms, just to gain power. Such people are called ministers of troubled times."

"There are also people whose abilities are not inferior to the first two. They are rare in a century. They are often both benevolent and righteous, and they understand political strategies. They can flexibly use various means to govern the world and use their own strength to prolong the life of a country. Such people are called capable ministers who can save the world."

"What do you mean?" Li Changsheng frowned, indicating that he didn't quite understand.

“A hero should have great ambitions, good strategies, and the ability to contain the universe and swallow up the world!”

Chen Ru held his head high and said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "A true man is born between heaven and earth, and he can only say four words: establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the people, inherit the lost knowledge of the past sages, and bring peace to the world for all eternity!"

Boom!

As soon as these words were spoken, Li Changsheng was stunned on the spot, as if struck by lightning!

"Establish a mind for heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the people, inherit the lost knowledge of the ancient sages, and bring peace to the world for all eternity..."

Li Changsheng kept repeating this sentence and felt his whole body trembling.

At this moment, he finally understood why Chen Ru talked about the distinction between capable ministers.

To establish a mind for heaven and earth means to use your heart, to have a heart, and to have everything in heaven and earth in your heart.

To establish a mission for the people means to enable all things in the world to survive and to enable the people to make a living.

To carry on the lost knowledge of the ancient sages means to continue the classics of the wise men and the ancient civilization.

To bring peace to the world for all eternity means to create a stable society without wars and disputes.

This is not only a big task, but also a summary of the first three games.

First set your mind, then set your destiny, and finally inherit unique skills, all for one purpose, to bring peace.

And it’s not just peace for this period of time, but peace for all eternity.

"Mr. Chen is so courageous." Li Changsheng exclaimed.

He suddenly realized that being the best in the world was actually nothing special.

At this moment, Li Changsheng felt ashamed for no reason.

Chen Ru shook his head: "It's not that I have such courage, but that Your Majesty has such courage."

"You mean?"

"Yes, this is what His Majesty told me. Unless the world is unified, there will never be peace. Only by breaking the old rules and creating a new order can the world enter a peaceful era. We scholars should take the world as our responsibility and study for the people of the world. This is the reason!"

Li Changsheng was stunned and asked, "Why can't it be Beili?"

"Mr. Li, you haven't left Tianqi City for many years, right?"

Li Changsheng hummed, expressing his confusion.

"Apocalypse City is very prosperous, but the prosperity of Apocalypse City was paid for by the lives of countless civilians from other places in Beili. Ordinary people in Apocalypse City may live well, but it does not mean that people in other places also live well."

Chen Ru sighed, then sneered, "Besides, Mr. Li should know better than me what kind of person the emperor in the court is. As for the younger generation of princes... hehe!"

Li Changsheng frowned and retorted: "Feng Qi is still very good."

"Feng Qi?"

"Ninth Prince, Xiao Ruofeng."

Chen Ru said, "I have heard of his reputation, but compared to Your Majesty... he is still far behind!"

He went to Yuelu City six years ago. It can be said that he witnessed the development of Yuelu City step by step to where it is today.

I have watched the people of Yuelu City go from being hungry and poorly clothed to having enough food and clothing today, with the orphans, the old and the young all being well provided for.

It is undeniable that Yuelu City is not as prosperous as Tianqi City.

But the prosperity of Tianqi City was achieved by the powerful and wealthy exploiting ordinary people, while the prosperity of Yuelu City was built on the initiative of ordinary people.

A comparison between the two reveals the difference.

Not to mention, Your Majesty has many development plans for the restoration of Western Chu.

Let’s not talk about other things for now, just to say that when it comes to benefiting the people, Xiao Ruofeng...is not even worthy of carrying shoes for His Majesty!
Chen Ru laughed, and then said seriously: "One year at most. After one year, I will resign from the position of chief priest."

Li Changsheng smiled and nodded: "After a year, I will definitely find a suitable person to take your place."

"Okay, I'll go first and pay my respects to the gate of your Apocalypse City."

If he hadn't thought about his senior brother's advanced age, he really wouldn't have wanted to come to Tianqi City to be the school's chief priest.

Qin Tianjian.

The Imperial Master was meditating and resting when he suddenly heard a subtle voice. He raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Who?"

"I heard that you were beaten by His Majesty a few days ago, and you haven't recovered yet?" Chen Ru chuckled.

Qi Tianchen opened his eyes and saw that the visitor was dressed as a middle-aged scholar with a gentle expression. He gave people an inexplicable good impression. He asked uncertainly, "Chen Ru from Shanqian Academy?"

Chen Ru shook his head: "Chen Ru, the headmaster of Yuelu Academy."

His Majesty and Yuelu Academy made Qi Tianchen understand that Chen Ru had defected to Western Chu.

But he didn't care too much and asked, "Why is Mr. Chen here?"

"I'm here to pay off an old debt. Before paying off a debt, there are some people I need to meet and greet in advance. The book says this is called paying respects to the mountain gate. Mr. Li is invincible, so naturally he doesn't need to worry about these things. I can still hold my own in rural places like Shanqian Academy and Yuelu Academy, but in a place like Tianqi City, I have to bend over and walk."

"Worship the mountain gate?"

"The Imperial Master is a fellow practitioner and also the senior brother of Your Majesty, so it is only natural that I should come to visit you. I hope Your Majesty will take good care of me in the coming year. Now I am leaving." Chen Ru nodded his feet and disappeared from the courtyard.

Qi Tianchen smiled slightly: "Mr. Li is really a wonderful person. He actually invited people from Yuelu Academy to the school."

After paying homage to the Imperial Master, Chen Ru went to the Dali Temple again.

He and Dali Temple Minister Shen Luohan are old acquaintances.

At that time, Shen Luohan was still the Shaoqing of Dali Temple. He chased a wanted criminal for thousands of miles and caught him in front of a mountain.

There is a academy on the mountain, but there is no road in front of the mountain.

He gritted his teeth and tried to climb up, but was beaten down and beaten back thousands of miles away.

And the person who beat him was Chen Ru!

They could be said to have known each other through fighting, so Shen Luohan naturally did not agree to any of Chen Ru's requests.

There is no way, I really can’t beat him.

Just like the original plot, after paying homage to the gate of Dali Temple, Chen Ru went to Diaolou Cottage and met Sikong Changfeng, the future spear fairy who had just arrived in Tianqi City.

Finally, he also went to the Langya Palace, the Qing Palace, and the Jingyu Palace to pay homage to the mountain gate.

It is also worth mentioning that Mr. Chen Ru, who was about to serve as the school's chief priest, unexpectedly accepted Princess Jingyu as his student.

For a time, the reputation of Prince Jingyu's Mansion soared.
