I am collecting entries in reincarnation

Chapter 594

"But hasn't the Lord already given him the first-class school building?" asked an attendant.

Lord Jiang squinted at him and said, "That Yicheng Residence is indeed a first-class school building, but it has been vacant for a long time, and there must be a reason for it. Besides..."

He sneered again and said, "You want to use County Magistrate Du to pressure me? Do you really think I'm afraid of you? He, Du Sanqiu, is from a humble family. Now Fang Yun has been chosen by him as the first in the case, and he has even offended the Xu family. Although he was chosen by the emperor, he has already become a pawn in the struggle between the two parties. Although there are some benefits to be gained, the power of the noble families is far greater than that of the humble family. Even with the support of the Prime Minister, he will not be able to achieve anything. He only studies and memorizes books, but cannot understand the situation in the court. Even if he studies for another hundred years, he will still be a waste!"

Then he looked around. He saw that all around him were his trusted subordinates, including several lecturers under his jurisdiction. Then he said, "Did you hear any gossip just now?"

Everyone shook their heads and said, "No."

He nodded in satisfaction and said, "Not bad. It was very quiet just now. There are still some unimportant students left. You can make your own arrangements."

Then he turned away, leaving several people looking at each other in bewilderment.

……

After this incident, Fang Yun and Li Ming walked on the road without saying a word, and the atmosphere seemed a little depressing.

After a long while, the two finally arrived at the edge of the so-called Yinlong Lake Yicheng Residence. They saw that although the Yinlong Lake had the word "lake" in it, it was actually just a pond. Yicheng Residence, on the other hand, was a first-class school building, and it was indeed extraordinary. It was like a small villa, and there was no sense of desolation at all. At most, it was just a little dusty because no one lived in it.

Fortunately, Fang Yun and Li Ming were not spoiled young men. Seeing that it was still early, they hurried to clean up their respective rooms. There were four rooms in Yicheng Residence, which could accommodate four people. Fang Yun occupied the east room and Li Ming took the west wing.

The two greeted each other, made an appointment to have dinner together, and then took a rest in the room.

Only then did Li Ming calm his mind and slowly practice his mental skills.

After the orifice was opened, an extra Wen seed appeared in Li Ming's Wen orifice. He absorbed the Wen Qi from the Wen orifice from time to time, and then through the transformation of the Wen seed, he gained a power that was similar in nature to that of the main world but in line with the Wen Qi of this world.

Li Ming considered it over and over again and named this power Haoran Zhengqi. Firstly, it was because this aura came from the Confucian orthodoxy, and secondly, it was also his expectation for his future.

In this world, literature and virtue flourish. A true scholar, nourished by literary energy, is by no means weak and powerless. Instead, he is often associated with being strong and powerful. Even his father, the old scholar in this life, is strong and healthy and does not look old. This is all the effect of literary energy.

Of course, if you ask these scholars to swing their fists to hit others, it would be a bit difficult for them. Although there are scholars who are proficient in martial arts, the mainstream fighting method is still the scholars' method.

He could recite poems and compose couplets, and each word was as powerful as a thousand pounds. He could draw a dragon with his pen and suppress thousands of troops. It is said that the Sage of Literature once used a scroll of scriptures to suppress the powerful wizards and liches, and pulled the human race back from the brink of extinction.

It’s a pity that there seems to be no way to achieve longevity in this world. Even if one is nourished by literary energy and has a healthy body, one is still an ordinary person. Perhaps one can live longer, but one cannot live forever by eating wind and drinking dew.

On the contrary, in just these few short days, Li Ming was able to sense that this great aura came from the Dharma of this world, and perhaps it could help him walk the path of martial arts again in this world. By then, his innate and even supernatural powers would not only be as strong as those of the great Confucian scholars, but his lifespan would also far exceed theirs. As for the semi-saint realm above the great Confucian scholars, Li Ming could not know it all, and did not dare to speak rashly at this moment.

Since Li Ming has behaved well throughout his life, this body has no trace of him practicing martial arts. However, in the past few days, his literary spirit has been awakened, and he has been nourished by the righteous spirit. Although Li Ming is still fourteen years old, he has some ability to protect himself.

Although this place is a bit remote, it is quiet and seldom visited. It also serves as a cover for Li Ming's secret martial arts training, so Li Ming is quite satisfied with it. However, he still has to find an excuse to deal with Fang Yun.

Li Ming sat on the edge of the bed, took a deep breath, and secretly practiced his profound skills. After more than ten days of secret cultivation, with his foundation and situation, he has now broken through to the third level of the acquired realm. Logically speaking, even with Li Ming's talent and understanding, it would take a lot of time and energy to practice to this level, but here it is a little different.

Firstly, he practiced the Confucian method. The good thing about this method is that one can cultivate a literary spirit in the heart every day. Once you get started, you will make rapid progress and transform decades of foundation into a righteous spirit.

Secondly, although Li Ming is only fourteen years old in this life, his literary talent is not shallow, so the righteous spirit he cultivates according to the Confucian method is already strong.

Thirdly, his literary essence was in his literary orifice. Somehow, it was able to be nourished by the literary energy in his literary orifice, making his practice smoother. That was why he was able to achieve such results in just a dozen days.

According to Li Ming's inference, he would be able to reach the innate realm within three months. By then, he would not only be able to protect himself, but even the so-called Jinshi scholars would not be able to withstand a punch from him within three feet. He just didn't know what others would call him if he really exposed his kung fu skills?

"Swinging Words"?
Li Ming looked inside the text and saw that the text had suddenly grown two points bigger, showing signs of sprouting and taking root. He was secretly surprised.

In his previous life, he had never obtained this method. Although he also trained his body secretly and practiced martial arts, he only knew the external methods after all. Perhaps he was restricted by the heaven and earth, and he had never produced any true energy. Even if he practiced external martial arts to the extreme, it was only equivalent to the peak of acquired skills, which was not good enough.

Now that he has mastered the Confucian method, which is in line with the literary way of this world, his practice has achieved twice the result with half the effort. Moreover, the literary spirit has taken root, and it seems that it is constantly consolidating his literary acumen. It seems that not only can he achieve twice the result with half the effort, but they can even help each other. This is a great thing!

Li Ming has already thought about keeping a low profile in the future, taking exams to become an official step by step, improving his literary rank while furthering his cultivation, and perhaps even reaching the realm of supernatural powers. In this way, there will be another high-level character card in the main world.

Li Ming opened his eyes, and a gleam of inspiration flashed in his eyes, as if a burst of literary energy seemed to emerge.

Then Li Ming calmed down and thought to himself.

Cultivation in this world begins with awakening one's mind, and then one reads books to gain understanding. Day by day, one develops literary aura, and only after accumulating enough literary aura can one pass an examination to improve one's literary rank. Of course, there are also those who have not accumulated it, but who write excellent articles on the classics, and who can also improve their literary rank. However, the increase is only to an upper limit, and in fact, one still needs to cultivate literary aura slowly, and even a great scholar can only live to be over a hundred years old.

It seems that it is really difficult to improve through extraordinary means in this world.

Of course, relatively speaking, people with natural talent can reach the top in a very short period of time, but there are gains and losses.

Compared with the human race's culture and Taoism, the power systems of the Lich and Wizard races are different.

The Wu clan possesses powerful Qi and blood, and by refining their bloodline power, they not only strengthen their physical bodies, enabling them to grasp thousands of mountains and possess immense strength, but can also awaken numerous extraordinary abilities. Being able to control water and fire, and the five elements are the most basic, but there are also those involving the power of time and space, the cycle of life and death, and so on, which are truly mysterious and extraordinary. The demon clan is also unusual. While they lack the powerful bodies of the Wu clan, they are still much stronger than humans. Even without the Wu clan's bloodline power, as demon cultivators grow stronger, they naturally revert to their ancestral roots, gaining all-round enhancements. They lack any bloodline supernatural powers, but possess a wide variety of magical arts, which are extremely strange.

The reason why the human race can coexist with these two races is naturally because the strong people under the Wendao are cultivated quickly enough. In addition, there is a tacit understanding among the three races. No matter who is stronger, the other two will join forces to curb his trend of unifying the world. That is why they have been fighting for so many years.

Over the years, both the Liches and the human race have experienced strength and weakness, but they have never been truly extinct.

This is also the reason why there has not been a strong saint in all these years. At most, they are half saints and cannot really make the final decision. Many people are looking forward to the emergence of a figure like the literary saint who can completely pacify the two races of wizards and liches, allowing the human race to dominate the world and become the king of all races.

At this moment, Li Ming had already accomplished his mission, but he was still thinking in his heart that Confucianism and literary virtues complemented each other.

The way of literature focuses on cultivating qi. Although the selection process is difficult, in fact, once you cross the threshold, you will rise faster.

The rules of Confucian cultivation are different. After all, they come from the cultivation methods of the main world. Although they also have the function of nourishing qi, the underlying logic is still the same as that of martial arts. It’s just that this great qi is a convenience for scholars after practicing the orthodox method.

It can help those who study hard to quickly transform the knowledge gained from reading into strength, and the subsequent practice is still the method of martial arts practice.

Now Li Ming is proficient in two ways, and the method of Confucian cultivation is changing in this world, no longer restricted to a single transformation.

In fact, as long as Li Ming's subsequent practice improves his literary status, it will naturally lead to a deeper sense of righteousness in Confucianism. The improvement of righteousness can in turn enhance his literary foundation.

Although it is not a complete left-foot-step-right-foot spiral ascension, it is definitely a unique cheat in this world. Of course, the more important thing is that this may be replicable.

Li Ming has already made up his mind that when his realm is high enough in the future, he will spread this method. Perhaps it will be able to change the situation of the three races in this world.

Guangyuan Academy of Arts is very large and is divided into many parts, including offices for officials and teachers to handle government affairs, school dormitories, teaching areas, a cafeteria area, and rest and activity areas.

Li Ming estimated that Guangyuan Academy was actually no different from a university, being able to accommodate thousands of students and hundreds of faculty and staff. In addition to the extraordinary status of scholars in this world, the dormitories of teachers and officials were not comparable to the teacher dormitories on Blue Star.

A mere Class A school building is equivalent to a villa, so the residences of senior teachers and lecturers will naturally be even larger. Therefore, the entire Guangyuan Academy covers a huge area.

In the evening, when Li Ming and Fang Yun went to the cafeteria for dinner, they both walked for a long time, which showed that Yichengju in Yinlong Lake was indeed remote.

On the way, they met a servant who didn't recognize them. He kindly took them to the cafeteria, otherwise it would have taken even longer.

The servant was a cheerful person, and he introduced the internal situation of the academy to Fang Yun and Li Ming along the way.

"Our Guangyuan Academy is not like those private study rooms or private schools outside. It is managed by the imperial court. The dean of the academy is a fourth-rank official. The students in the academy also have strict standards. There are classes for tongsheng, which are all tongsheng, with 20 students in a class, and classes for xiucai, which are 10 students in a class. There are also classes for juren. However, not many people who have passed the juren exam are still in the academy. Basically, they are quite free, and most of them are there just for the name. If they have any questions about their studies, they can go to the teachers for help. After all, most of the lecturers in our Guangyuan Academy are only juren."

Following the servant's introduction, the two of them had a better understanding of Guangyuan Academy. Of course, it was not just that. The servant also told them the general terrain of Guangyuan Academy, the course arrangements, etc.

When they arrived at the cafeteria entrance, they found that the place was full of pavilions, waterside terraces, orchids, small bridges, flowing water and houses, which was completely different from what they had expected.

Seeing this, the servant laughed and said, "After all, this is where all the gentlemen eat and drink, so it can't be crude. The Jingcheng Courtyard and Mingde Tower where we study are much better."

Li Ming thanked him and was about to enter the cafeteria.

The servant suddenly asked, "You two are new here today. I wonder where your school buildings have been assigned?"

Fang Yun replied, "We two live in Yicheng Residence in Yinlong Lake."

The servant's face changed when he heard the three words "Yinlong Lake", and when the three words "Yichengju" came out, his face turned pale.

"Hidden Dragon Lake? Yicheng Residence? Why is it that place?"

The servant muttered a few words and seemed a little afraid.

Although Fang Yun had expected that Lord Jiang would not arrange a school building for him so easily, he also thought that Chengju was very remote and inconvenient to enter and exit. But now he looked at it again, it seemed that there was something else going on.

So he asked, "Yes, it was arranged by Lord Jiang himself. Is there anything wrong with it?"

"This..." The servant stumbled and stammered twice, then pulled the two of them to a corner, looked around, and found that no one was paying attention to this place, then he slowly spoke.

"Alas, I don't know why Lord Jiang arranged it this way, but...there are monsters in Hidden Dragon Lake, and Yicheng Residence is haunted!"

The servant spoke in a very mysterious and firm tone.

"Nonsense, this is Guangyuan Academy, and there is a Confucian Temple inside the academy. How can we allow evil spirits to run rampant!" Fang Yun shouted immediately.

The servant shook his head and said, "Everyone says that, but there have indeed been many strange things in the past. Well, since you two have been assigned to different places, I won't say much. I just advise you to move out as soon as possible."

After saying that, he left without even looking at their reactions, leaving Li Ming and Fang Yun looking at each other in bewilderment.
