Chapter 128 Yingtian Academy
Ye Ru's words sent a chill down Xiao Bai's spine:
“In the past, I thought that you, being imbued with the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, would not be too warlike, but now it seems that you not only possess the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, but perhaps also the courageous ways of military strategists.”
Ye Ru did not answer, but smiled slightly and then rested.
The next day, Kong Hexuan and the others were outside the Hall of Saints preparing to go to the City of Heroes when Ye Ru, dressed in a Zhuge robe, also came out of the building.
Good morning, Brother Ye. Did you sleep well last night?
Kong Hexuan looked at Ye Ru and smiled.
"I am well. May I set off for Zhongjie City today?"
Ye Ru returned the greeting.
"Wait a moment before we set off. Before that, I have something to tell you. My father told me last night that a member of the Legalist school in Jin has died, and we don't know who did it."
Kong Hexuan frowned and said in a deep voice.
Someone died?
Ye Ru feigned surprise, but he had a vague idea of what was going on.
Han Bo is dead, and the news has already reached the Legalist school of Jin.
"That Han Bo, no one knows who killed him. Last night, this matter caused a huge uproar in Jin. The Legalists will undoubtedly be determined to capture the murderer."
Kong Hexuan nodded, his face solemn, then looked at Ye Ru meaningfully:
"We became sworn brothers in the Liuan Secret Realm, Brother Ye. Can you tell me the truth? Was it you who did it?"
Do you think I'm that great?
Ye Ru looked into Kong Hexuan's eyes and smiled.
"Indeed, even though you possess the profound meaning of those eighteen words, it's impossible for you to kill a mere scholar."
Kong Hexuan stopped talking about it.
"Brother Kong, Brother Ye, the flying boat is about to set sail, everyone please come and sit down."
At this moment, Mo Banshan waved towards them, and the two boarded the flying boat.
"Han Bo of the Legalist school is dead, and Han Lü has also disappeared. Although the sky is clear and bright, I always feel that there is a kind of oppressive atmosphere in this sky."
The flying boat rose into the clouds, its powerful holy energy blocking the surrounding gales, Kong Hexuan said again.
How long does it take to get to Zhongjie City from here?
Ye Ru said.
"About three days. We've already been delayed for many days. I'm afraid the National Children's Competition will start as soon as we arrive in Zhongjie City."
Kong Hexuan was taken aback for a moment before replying.
"I'm a little tired, I'll go to the cabin to rest first."
Ye Ru rubbed his temples. There were just too many troubles at the moment. The Legalists of Jin State, the Legalists of Yanhuang State, the Strategists, and the Miscellaneous Schools had almost all turned against him.
"With their Legalist methods, they'll probably find you in no time. When that happens, the wrath of the whole family will be more than a poor family can handle right now."
Xiao Bai said in a deep voice.
"I know that I am studying hard now and trying to improve my literary reputation. As long as my literary reputation is strong enough, the Legalists may not be able to do anything to me."
Ye Ru took a deep breath, a cold glint flashing across his face.
"A literary reputation alone is not enough; you must have sufficient strength. At that point, the Legalists will not dare to kill you openly, but they can secretly send people from other sage families to silence you."
These words made Ye Ru think. If he didn't improve his strength but only his literary reputation, it would only be a delaying tactic.
"Therefore, your most important task now is to find that divine book, the Zen of Clouds and Water."
Xiao Bai said again.
Ye Ru didn't know why Xiao Bai kept asking him to find the Book Heart, but he knew that this divine Book Heart was definitely related to Xiao Bai.
"Do you know where that Zen Master Yunshui is now?"
Ye Ru pondered for a moment, then spoke.
"That divine book once appeared in Yingtian Academy, but it disappeared without a trace. Now that you have passed the preliminary examination, you can naturally go to Yingtian Academy to register."
Xiaobai said.
"Alright, after this national examination for children is over, I will go to Yingtian Academy. Once I pass the provincial examination, I will go to Jin and declare war on the Legalists of Jin!"
Ye Ru clenched his fists. Confucius said, "If you want to establish yourself, help others to establish themselves; if you want to achieve success, help others to achieve success."
But in the secret realm of Liuan, he would not forget this hatred and humiliation.
Moreover, there is the humiliation and hatred that the Yanhuang Kingdom has suffered throughout history.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Ru began to peruse the Siku Quanshu (Complete Library of the Four Treasuries) to read the Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases.
Kong Hexuan told him that many medical students said the book was extremely obscure, and he wanted to see just how obscure it was.
Ye Ru's article focuses on the method of pulse diagnosis. Pulse diagnosis, also known as normal pulse diagnosis, appears in the chapter of the "Nan Jing" (Classic of Difficult Issues) as one of the four methods of observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation. Palpation refers to the pulse. These four methods are essential foundations of traditional Chinese medicine.
The entire Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases summarizes the diagnostic and treatment experiences of different disease stages and symptom types, integrating theory, methods, prescriptions, and medicines to provide diagnostic and treatment guidance.
When Ye Ru was healing, he recited the method of balancing pulses.
The five methods—specimen analysis, cluster analysis, unique identification, pulse diagnosis, and interruption analysis—are interconnected in theory, method, prescription, and medicine, each with its own distinct direction.
When Ye Ru marked these words in the Siku Quanshu (Complete Library of the Four Treasuries), the Siku Quanshu suddenly began to tremble, and a warm current flowed out from it, eventually entering Ye Ru's book palace, causing the walls of his book palace to gradually turn golden.
"Is this the benefit I've gained from annotating this book?"
When his library turned golden, an extremely comfortable feeling welled up in his heart.
However, when Ye Ru continued reading the Treatise on Febrile Diseases, the faint power of the sacred path began to hinder him.
"It seems my literary rank is not high enough, and I have no way to continue reading. I will try again when I become a Xiucai (a successful candidate in the county-level imperial examination)."
Ye Ru rubbed his temples, feeling a sudden headache, and then walked out of the cabin.
Where are we now?
Ye Ru went outside and saw Dong Qi, then asked him a question.
"We'll be arriving at Zhongjie City soon. It's said that this time, all the schools of thought are flocking to Zhongjie City, making it the grandest national competition for students. It's also said that the four great academies have come here, preparing to exceptionally promote students from among these schools."
"The Four Great Academies?"
Ye Ru asked doubtfully.
"You are in Qingyun County, where information is scarce, and it is difficult for children from poor families to rise to prominence. The Four Great Academies are run by the Zhongsheng Academy and have extremely strong teaching staff. They are known as holy lands for students. Those who come from there are all famous and distinguished. It is said that the current Minister of Literature came from Yingtian Academy."
Dong Qi looked at the distant green mountains and white clouds with longing and exclaimed in admiration.
Yingtian Academy?
Ye Ru murmured to himself, then thought to himself:
"I've searched high and low without finding it, but it's come to me effortlessly. If I can achieve a good ranking in the National Children's Examination, I might be able to directly enter the Yingtian Academy. At that time, even the most prestigious families will have to think twice."
As they talked, they soon saw the outline of a city nestled against the mountains and beside the water in the distance, which excited them all.
At the same time, the clash of dragons and tigers, and the fierce competition among a hundred schools of thought, also began at this moment.
