What’s going on? Students of the Imperial College, followers of Confucianism, actually come here and want to worship a Taoist priest as their teacher?
After hearing this, Sun Jijiu's face turned green. He wanted to rush out right now to see which bastard who betrayed his teacher and ancestors could do such a thing?
Li Zhuo immediately became interested. He was eager to see the excitement and said, "Is this really true? If so, my dear ministers, why don't you come with me and take a look to see what these people are thinking?"
As he spoke, Li Zhuo walked out, and a group of ministers hurriedly followed him. Soon they walked out of the hall and saw many scholars standing outside.
In fact, the original purpose of this group of scholars coming here was not to worship Lu Chen as their teacher, but to denounce Lu Chen.
This was instructed by Sun Jijiu. A Taoist disciple actually dared to act wildly in their Imperial College. He was totally out of his mind.
If Lu Chen is not taught a lesson today and made aware of the dangers of society, how will the Imperial College survive in the capital in the future?
Most of the students in the academy are young people. Young people are passionate and easily bewitched and get carried away.
So when they heard that the Taoists had blew down their courtyard wall, they blew it up immediately.
When they heard that Sun Jijiu had gone out to argue, not only had he not gained any advantage, but had been severely humiliated by that evil Taoist priest in front of the emperor, these young people became even more indignant.
"How can we, as scholars, endure such a great humiliation!"
Someone shouted this, and most of the young people in the academy gathered here.
Just as a group of people were arguing about who should be the leader and take everyone out to find the evil Taoist priest to argue, the arithmetic problem that Lu Chen gave to Hong Chong came out from the hall.
There was no other way. Even if all the people from the Imperial College in the hall were combined, they couldn't solve the problem posed by Lu Chen. In desperation, they could only seek help from the outside world.
They remembered that there were several students who were also proficient in arithmetic, and several great scholars who had made great achievements in arithmetic were not here today.
The moment this question was passed on, the students stopped making a fuss, because at this moment, the nature of the whole matter changed.
Even though they were filled with righteous indignation and wanted to find Lu Chen to argue with him, they were actually thinking of exposing Lu Chen's identity as a demon in front of the emperor so that the emperor would not be deceived.
Now that this question has been spread, it has become an academic battle.
At least before they solved this problem, they could not blame Lu Chen for his morality, let alone mention the matter of the demon.
Once it is raised, it means that they are not well-educated and cannot solve the problems posed by others, so they can only think of persecuting others through political means.
If this kind of reputation gets out, no one in the Imperial College will be able to hold their heads high and live their lives in peace.
The uncertain fact that Confucius killed Shao Zhengmao has been passed down for thousands of years, so one can imagine the dangers of the struggles between schools.
So in order to solve the problem at hand, you must solve the problem at hand.
Then, everyone in the Imperial College became bald. This question was too difficult and they couldn’t do it!
"Why are we chasing the first carriage? Is there any important mission on it? Can we not chase it?"
"Could you please ask the people in the carriage ahead to stop and wait for a moment? Is there something urgent that requires such a hassle?"
"Stop arguing, I already have some clues. Just give me another fifty, six, seven, eight, nine, or ten hours, and I'll figure it out!"
"Haha, by the time you figured it out, the daylily has gone cold. I think this is just that Lu Chen deliberately making things difficult for us. This problem is simply unsolvable!"
"Brother Nian, be careful with your words. If the other party gives an answer and can justify it, we will be embarrassed!"
"I heard that Lu Chen is indeed somewhat supernatural. Let's discuss whether there is a possibility that the Master really appeared in his dream."
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Scholars like me don't even have this kind of honor, so how could a stinky Taoist alchemist like him deserve it!"
"He even claims that he and the Master are close sworn brothers. This is simply outrageous. He really dares to brag about anything."
"That's right, instead of believing the nonsense he said, you might as well believe that I am Qin Shi Huang."
Just as a group of young people were arguing, they suddenly heard a cry coming from outside the courtyard wall.
Driven by curiosity, several young people ran out to check what was going on. Not long after, they stumbled back from outside with pale faces.
"Brothers, what happened outside? Why do you look so panicked?"
"Yeah, yeah, is this going to explode again?"
The student who rushed in first looked pale. He raised his finger and pointed tremblingly outside, saying, "It's grown! It really has grown! The statue of the Master has grown a few inches taller!"
What!?
This news was like the bomb that had just exploded, shocking the students of the Imperial College.
What's going on? It actually grew longer? How is this possible?
That happened in public, so it's impossible for that evil Taoist to do anything.
Doesn’t that mean that what that evil Taoist said was true, and that the Master really has come to the world?
Oh my god, this is a huge deal!
The student who reacted first was already running out, tumbling and crawling.
They have read the books of sages for so many years and listen to the teachings of the Master every day. In their hearts, the Master is the supreme being.
Many people hate that they did not live in the Master's era and did not have the opportunity to listen to his teachings.
Now they are told that the Master has come to the world again. What a ridiculous thing!
