Chapter 73: Things about the Wanliu Society

There is a difference between cicadas and cicadas. People like Huang Zhi are the most annoying cicadas because they have no ability, but they keep chirping. However, for Xie Nandu, even if he has no ability, Big, creaking and squeaking in front of his own door, that is naturally annoying.

The young man had never been to her door before. Logically speaking, he just chatted some gossip by the lake, which should not have aroused her disgust. However, when Chen Chao spoke about the cicada, she still followed his words. Go down.

Chen Chao pulled up a bench and sat down, then started to light the fire. While busy, he asked, "Why is it unusual?"

Xie Nandu sat down again and watched the young man in front of him start to work. He put down the book in his hand and said seriously, "This time at the Wanliu Hui, the academy has four places, and he will be one of them."

According to the past rules, three of the eight academies in the Liang Dynasty would be occupied, and the Guardian Yamen and Tianyuyuan would each occupy one. The other three would be chosen by other Yamen in Shendu and major aristocratic families. fight.

This time, because the Wanliu Meeting was held in Shendu, there were two more places, so the academy asked for one more place. The other place was actually allocated to the guardian envoy's office, but the guardian envoy couldn't find a better one. candidate, so he gave up that spot.

The fact that this young man can occupy one of the four places in the academy naturally shows that he is extraordinary.

Chen Chao asked, "Are you the dean's student?"

The dean had seventy-two disciples, and although some of them have passed away, there are also quite a few who are still alive today.

Xie Nandu shook his head, "Among Mr.'s disciples, I am the only one who meets the requirements."

Among the seventy-two disciples of the dean, except for Xie Nandu, all of them are actually quite old. Those people are distributed up and down the Liang Dynasty, not all in the academy.

"He is a disciple of Master Liu. Master Liu is a great scholar in the academy. He has always been tolerant and has an excellent reputation. That young man is his close disciple. He is from the Xia family. His name is Xia Yuan. He is the eldest son of the eldest son. He is very promising to become a disciple in the future. The head of the Xia family."

Xie Nandu has been in the academy for some time, and he already knows most of the things about the divine capital and the academy. When he talks about it now, it's like telling his own story.

In the eyes of the masters in the academy, Xia Yuan is naturally an excellent junior.

, those students by the lake didn't know his identity because they entered the academy, and they wanted to come and spend some time there, and they would change after the Wanliu Society.

Chen Chao sighed with emotion, "I didn't provoke him. If he was doing it for the academy, I could understand it. But compared to Wanliuhui, those words I said by the lakeside in the early morning are probably not worth mentioning, right?"

There is an emotion called a sense of belonging. Since he is not a student of the academy, he naturally cannot feel it, but Chen Chao can understand the thoughts of other academy students at this moment.

Xie Nandu said, "There are so many flowers in the world, and not all of them are the same."

Chen Chao reached out, took two and put them on the stove, and asked, "Isn't he also interested in you?"

Xie Nandu said calmly, "The Xia family would like to marry the Xie family, but Xia Yuan is not willing."

Chen Chao frowned subconsciously when he heard the first half of the sentence. When the second half of the sentence was uttered together, he became a little angry, "He's not willing yet?!"

Xie Nandu looked at him and laughed.

Chen Chao realized that he had lost his composure and smiled awkwardly.

"His thoughts don't matter because he can't change Xia's will."

Although Xia Yuan is a student of the academy, he still seems so weak and unable to fight in front of Xia.

Xie smiled and said, "Xia's thoughts don't matter, because Xie doesn't need to marry anyone else."

The Xie family is now the most prominent family in the Liang Dynasty. Apart from the Wei family, they don't have to worry about anyone in the Liang Dynasty.

Chen Chao said, "You should understand the matter of prosperity and decline."

There are many such examples in the history books. When a family reaches its peak of prosperity, only to be greeted by decline.

Xie Nandu shook his head, "The foundation for maintaining the prosperity of the family is that the descendants are outstanding enough, not some divine grace."

Although she is not old, she has actually seen the foundation of a dynasty.

, you always need people to support you. As long as you are capable enough, you can act more freely without having to think about those things all the time.

At this point, Xie Nandu changed the subject and returned to the topic, "This time, among the four people in the academy, except Xia Yuan, the other two should not be hostile to you."

Chen Chao turned it over and asked tentatively, "Tell me about those two people?"

Xie Nandu smiled and shook his head, "What does that have to do with you?"

The principle is of course this. Although participating in the Wanliu Society represents their respective sects, the rules of the Wanliu Society are more important than the young monk's own cultivation and ability to adapt to the situation. Nothing else is really important. .

Chen Chao said innocently, "I can't know everything. To this day, no one has told me what the Wanliu Society is going to do!"

Xie Nandu looked at the young man in front of her with some doubts in her eyes. She asked, "Do you really not know?"

Chen Chao widened his eyes and said seriously, "Do you think I'm lying to you?"

Xie Nandu said calmly, "Many people in the capital are speculating on your origins. What you have shown is naturally not what a border boy should be. They have basically locked your identity into a descendant of those poor families." If you are their descendant, why don't you know what Wan Liu will compete with?"

Chen Chao shook his head and said, "I'm not."

Not this word, he has said it more than once.

Xie Nandu looked at him and hesitated to speak, but in the end she did not speak. She did not ask that question.

After a moment of silence, the aroma of roasting filled the small courtyard. Xie Nandu smiled and said, "At the beginning of the Wanliu Club, there were many types and comparisons, such as music, chess, calligraphy and painting."

Chen Chao couldn't help but interjected and asked, "Since you are a monk, what's the use of this?"

Xie Nandu frowned, "There was someone who said this as you did. That person thought the name Wanliu Daohui was not pleasant, so he changed it to Wanliuhui. He even felt that it was useless to compare too much. So the Wanliu Society was changed to only compete in two aspects, civil and military. "\u003c

Chen Chao said with some longing, "Is that person who changed his name and changed his rules the most ruthless person in the world?"

"I don't know. His identity is not specified in the book, and it is too old. Even if you want to check, it is difficult to check. There is only one thing that is clear, that person must be a sword cultivator."

Xie Nandu was not sure, but he was very firm when he spoke.

"How can I see it?"

Chen Chao asked with great interest.

Xie Nandu looked at it and said, "This is the only content specified in several books, and it is such a domineering behavior. Among the monks outside Fang, only the sword cultivator would do this, because they are the most lawless."

Speaking of this, Chen Chao remembered the story he made up on the way to the mine. Although he made up the story casually, Guo Xi's eyes at that time were not only sure, but also a little bit fearful. Is it just because Is this the identity of the opponent's sword cultivator?

Chen Chao was a little curious about sword cultivators, but he didn't say anything explicitly.

Xie Nandu seemed to know what Chen Chao was thinking, and said, "The sword cultivator in the world is known as the most lethal among the monks. Even ordinary monks outside the country dare not provoke him."

Chen Chao thought for a while and said, "Continue."

Xie Nandu nodded and continued, "The literary test of Wanliuhui is actually very simple. It is the same as the imperial examination of Daliang Dynasty. It just involves answering questions."

Chen Chao raised his eyebrows and asked, "But what is the problem?"

Xie Nandu said, "Of course it's a matter of practice."

Chen Chao was silent for a moment and said, "Isn't that such a vast sea?"

The practice of Taoism has been developing for so many years. New Taoism is produced almost every year, and new books are produced every year. No one can learn all the Taoism, and no one can read all the books on cultivation.

"Could it be that the scope is specified?" Chen Chao suddenly thought of something.

Xie Nandu shook his head and said, "No."

Chen Chao took a breath and said in shock, "Then this is too outrageous!"
