334 Usurping Merit
Ning Yao and the others were listening to the lecture while distractedly discussing the matter through whispered messages. The more they listened, the more frightened they became.
Because they have a close relationship with Jiang Xin, and the World Tree was successfully repelled several times thanks to Jiang Xin, Jiang Yichen was afraid that these children would lose their lives, so he secretly taught them some knowledge about the World Tree, including the two theories of "Awakening School" and "Offering School".
Originally, these two theories were evenly matched, and there were people advocating both sides.
But ever since the last time the World Tree was openly displayed before everyone in the Tiancheng Spiritual Realm, revealing its malicious intent without any concealment, many high-level monks who originally advocated the "providing faction" have gradually turned to the "awakening faction".
Whether they really want to change their allegiance or use it to hide their true thoughts, outsiders have no idea. At least, there are no high-level monks who openly support the "Donor Faction" anymore.
Because high-level cultivators have a certain degree of spiritual connection, they speculated that given the status of the World Tree, it must have an even keener spiritual connection. They were afraid that if they talked too much, it would attract unnecessary attention from the World Tree, so during this period of time, a lot of theoretical knowledge about the "Offering Sect" was destroyed.
Now, the content taught in this remote mountain village is actually the theoretical knowledge developed by those "orthodox" and "supporting factions".
"Big Brother, this knowledge is kept secret even by the six major immortal sects and the imperial court, but it is used here to enlighten young children. This is too abnormal." Zhao Shi said with a frown.
Ning Yao was flipping through a textbook he had borrowed from someone else, his brows furrowed even deeper than his own. "Whether it's a private school in the mortal world or an introductory school of a major sect, the textbooks used for enlightenment all teach reading, writing, and reciting poetry first. These are not taught here, only the knowledge of the 'support sect'. Rather than saying this is a school, it's better to say that this is a branch of the 'support sect' that recruits believers."
Jiang Xiao was still seriously injured and everyone took good care of him, not letting him worry about it. They thought of letting Jiang Xiao take a nap in class to recuperate.
But Jiang Xiao was a self-conscious child. He couldn't sleep at the moment and kept listening to their conversations with his ears perked up.
Hearing the doubts of his fellow students, Jiang Xiao turned around and asked the children beside him: "When did you learn to write?"
The child stole a glance at Master Liu, who was passionately proclaiming, "It was the World Tree that saved the Tiancheng Spirit World" and "The World Tree is the root of all spirit worlds, and we must sincerely love the World Tree." He proudly told Di Jiangxiao, "When we pass the assessment and enter the academy, if we perform well and become a cultivator, we can learn to write."
The voice was very soft, but Ning Yao and the others could hear it, and they all showed indescribable expressions.
The spiritual awareness of cultivators is powerful. Basically, as long as their cultivation level is improved and their memory is enhanced, they can do simple things like reading and writing with ease. There is basically no illiterate person.
Compared to reading and writing, some basic knowledge of cultivation is the secret that many mortals cannot reach in their entire lives.
The learning order mentioned by this little boy was different from what Jiang Xiao knew, which made him scratch his head in confusion and look at his senior brothers in confusion.
Zhaoshi shook his head at him and signaled Jiangxiao to keep silent for the time being, as they knew what was going on.
The class passed quickly, and the moment the bell rang, the children in the classroom became obviously agitated, and it was obvious that they all wanted to go out and play.
Master Liu, who was still lecturing passionately, was interrupted. He frowned unhappily, as if he wanted to teach them a lesson.
But when he saw Ning Yao and the others sitting in the last row, they stood out like a crane among chickens, Master Liu swallowed the lesson that was about to come out of his throat.
Obviously he didn't want to leave a bad impression on Ning Yao and the others.
"Okay, get out of class is dismissed." Master Liu suppressed his temper and ended the class. The classroom immediately became noisy. The students ran out of the hall cheering and played outside in groups of three or five.
Looking at their playful figures, Jiang Xiao thought for a moment, then jumped off the stool and said to Zhao Shi, "Fourth Senior Brother, I'll go out and take a look."
Chu Linfeng stood up and said, "I'll go with you."
"Don't go too far." Zhao Shi warned them and watched them leave, wondering whether he should wake Jiang Xin up.
The junior sister was sleeping so soundly that even the loud noise inside and outside the school did not wake her up.
Master Liu came over and saw this scene. He frowned unhappily but didn't say anything.
Jiang Xin is young and can obviously enter the academy directly, so there is no need for him to worry about it.
He just needs to deal with these big ones.
"Dear friends, how do you feel about this class?" Master Liu asked kindly, like an ordinary teacher who was trying to understand the quality of teaching.
Ana Shen wanted to choke back, “What bullshit are you teaching?”, but held back.
Lin Yan said nonsense: “The knowledge taught by the teacher is really amazing. I didn’t expect that there are such great and selfless people in the world.”
Master Liu smiled, showing his admiration for Lin Yan. Then he heard Lin Yan change the subject and ask, "Where did you get such profound knowledge, sir?"
"Of course it's the academy." Master Liu said, and he looked in the direction of the academy to show his respect.
"Why does the academy know this knowledge?" Lin Yan continued to ask.
Master Liu said as a matter of course: "The academy is where the cultivators live, and there are also Nascent Soul ancestors in charge, and they know a lot of knowledge. These are just the basics. If you can successfully join the academy, it will be like you are on a path to heaven, and your future is limitless!"
Lin Yan thought to himself, I don’t believe you, “It’s really our honor.”
The break time ended quickly, the bell rang, and the students who were playing outside walked into the classroom listlessly, returned to their seats and sat down, waiting for the second class to begin.
As soon as Chu Linfeng sat down, he couldn't wait to share his experiences with his senior brothers: "My junior brother and I just asked the children here. They all just came to class, and most of them took what Master Liu said as myths."
"Their parents have told them this knowledge since they were young, including 'The World Tree created this world and the countless races in it', and 'Back then, the World Tree fought a war with the evil demons, which led to the destruction of the Tiancheng Spirit World. It was the World Tree that created the world and came back again.'"
At this point, Jiang Xiao's childish voice with obvious displeasure appeared in the collective voice transmission: "The Moon Clan once said that the one who created the world again was Mingchen Immortal Venerable, and the World Tree usurped Mingchen's achievements here."
His expression was so serious that no one dared to underestimate him.
Just now, when chatting with Master Liu during the break, Lin Yan asked for his subsequent teaching syllabus.
During the time that students were studying in the school, all the lessons were taught by Master Liu, and the content of his lessons were all praising the World Tree.
Wuxin has already defined this place as a brainwashing organization based on his experience.
These students who have just entered school may not take this knowledge seriously now, but in time, this knowledge will subtly change their cognition.
And who knows what tricks the academy has in store for them after they leave the college and enter the college.
Chu Linfeng even had a bold guess.
