Led by Chen Yu, about a hundred people looked up at the Sage Academy in front of them with shocked expressions.
In front of us is a huge stone gate, a hundred meters high, with a sentence on each side.
The path to the mountain of books is through diligence, and the boat to the boundless sea of learning is through hard work.
These two lines of poetry fully reveal the true meaning of learning.
Above the door were four large characters: Sage Academy.
These four words are full of a special charm, which makes people feel awe at first sight.
But in the middle of these four words, there is a huge slanted crack, which destroys the overall feeling and is very glaring.
Looking inside through the stone gate, one can see huge open spaces with many dilapidated buildings inside.
The space here far exceeded Chen Yu's imagination.
Although it is in ruins, one can still imagine its former grandeur.
However, amidst this grandeur, there is a sense of dead silence, which seems a bit sad.
"This is the Sage Academy."
Chen Chen looked at the scene in front of him, then he knelt on the ground with a plop and bowed down towards the front.
"Young man Chen Chen, I pay my respects to you, Senior!"
When some people saw Chen Chen's action, they were also moved and knelt down together.
One after another, after a while, except for Chen Yu, everyone knelt down in front of the Sage Academy.
Chen Yu knew that this was the way these scholars expressed their respect for the Sage Academy in their own way.
"Chen Chen, how much do you know about this Sage Academy?" Chen Yu asked.
Chen Chen shook his head. "The Sage Academy wasn't a place that ordinary people could enter in the past. I've only seen some records of it in historical documents."
After listening to Chen Chen's introduction, Chen Yu finally understood what the Sage Academy was.
In the past, the Sage Academy was the place where Confucian and Taoist sages gave lectures, and it was also the place where great Confucian scholars were cultivated.
There is a saying that there are two things to enter and three things not to enter in the Sage's Academy.
The two entrances are: those with a strong and righteous spirit, and those with outstanding literary talent.
The three things that are not allowed in are: those without virtue, those without talent, and those without wisdom.
It can be said that the Sage Academy is not a place that ordinary people can enter.
After all, this is a place to cultivate pillars of the country and strong Confucian and Taoist figures.
Even if ordinary people come here, they simply cannot adapt.
This is like an advanced study class. Ordinary people cannot keep up at all. Only those geniuses can come in for advanced studies.
The practice of Confucianism is also different from that of other Taoist traditions.
A great scholar must have great integrity and profound knowledge.
Only when one possesses both can one be called a great scholar and possess incredible power.
But, this is so difficult.
For other Taoist sects, the power of practice is enough.
But Confucianism and Taoism are different. While requiring strength, they also require the cultivation of personal character.
Therefore, the number of great scholars has always been very small.
But on the other hand, once one becomes a great scholar, he or she will have incredible power.
The Sage Academy is the best place for Confucianism to cultivate great scholars.
Some people have great integrity but only average knowledge. They can increase their knowledge in the Sage Academy.
Some people have profound knowledge but lack a righteous spirit. They need to cultivate their righteous spirit in the Sage Academy.
“This is still an elite class.”
Chen Yu looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.
He came here just to seek death and had no intention of inheriting any saint's legacy.
When the time comes, just go where there is danger. Don't believe that you won't die.
"Master Chen, Su Wen, you are a rare genius in Confucianism and Taoism. How about we have a competition here today?"
A man walked up to Chen Yu, bowed to him, and his eyes were burning with fighting spirit.
On the side, many people looked at Chen Yu with burning eyes.
These days, Chen Yu's name has been heard throughout Daqin, and he is the most famous person in the world.
They were all Confucian and Taoist scholars who believed that they were no less capable than others. Seeing that Chen Yu was admired by so many people, they began to want to compete with him.
Shen Chen frowned, looking at the man with discomfort.
"Who are you? Why do you have no sense of the overall situation? Are we here just to show off?"
"The road ahead is filled with crises. What we need to do now is to work together, rather than worrying about trivial reputations."
Hearing this, the man smiled lightly and shrugged indifferently.
"Of course I know the road ahead is dangerous. But since we're here, who's afraid?"
"What you call false reputation is actually a form of recognition for us! We will not forget the purpose of coming here, but it will not prevent us from competing with Master Chen!"
These words drew everyone's approval.
The man looked around and felt quite pleased to see so many people supporting him.
He pulled out a jade pendant from his bosom and said proudly, "Although it's dangerous, how could we come here without preparation?"
"This is an ancient jade passed down from my family, meticulously forged by a great scholar. It possesses the power of self-protection and will surely help me turn danger into safety."
Many people also took out various items.
"This is a protective treasure my father gave me. It was also left by a great scholar in the past!"
"Haha, my teacher also gave me a calligraphy and painting by a great scholar, which can protect me."
"Haha, I have something like that too!"
For a moment, everyone looked very proud.
In this day and age, great scholars have become legends.
The things left behind by the great scholars are even more difficult to find.
I'm sure Lord Chen would be very envious when he sees what we have.
Chen Yu glanced at everyone's things and frowned.
"You guys..."
"Haha, what do you think, Master Chen?"
