Chapter 125 Ning Yuqing

After the lecture, everyone began to leave in turn.

Qi Xuansu, Yao Pei and others who were sitting in the front row could only go to the back.

In terms of position, there were still few positions corresponding to the Grand Master, Deputy Master, and Great Immortal. Only the first-level assistants could sit there, so many instructors also sat in the same row with a group of fourth-grade Taoist priests. After all, in terms of rank, the two sides were not much different, and they could not be called master and apprentice. There was not much difference.

Just as Qi Xuansu stood up and waited to leave, a female instructor passed by Qi Xuansu and smiled at him.

Qi Xuansu was not flattered, but he was still a little surprised. After all, in the past, most of these exquisite women turned a blind eye to him, and he had long been accustomed to it, but today he found that many women were willing to smile at him, as if they had come to a spring day with a hundred flowers in full bloom.

He probably understood one thing, no wonder men never wear makeup, the best makeup for men is power, status, and money. As for whether a man is beautiful or ugly, it has some influence, but not so much, and it belongs to the details. That's why so many Taoists are keen to turn their realm cultivation into real power, rather than seeking seclusion and longevity in peace with the world.

Qi Xuansu now has no money, nor much power, but has a small status, so the other two will come sooner or later.

So he became dazzling and no longer ordinary.

Qi Xuansu responded with a polite smile, and the two of them passed by each other with a slight contact of eyes, without any intersection.

The Taoists who participated in the palace training this time, including a group of prepared and alternate priests, were about 200 people, so they were divided into three departments. The so-called department means subject. The court's Censorate supervised the six departments and was divided into six departments, so there were the famous six departments of the Secretary. The three subjects of Wanxiang Dao Palace are simple, corresponding to the fourth-grade priest, the fifth-grade priest, and the sixth-grade priest, that is, the three subjects are divided according to the Taoist grade, and the content of each subject is different.

After the ceremony, Qi Xuansu and others will go to Kanyuan, which corresponds to "Laohukan", where the main teaching area is located.

At first glance, Kanyuan does not seem to be much different from ordinary academies. There are all kinds of classrooms. The fourth-grade priests occupy one of the largest and best classrooms. Each person has a table, with complete pens, ink and books. The tables are facing each other, and the layout is neatly arranged horizontally and vertically, like a chessboard.

This makes Qi Xuansu seem to have returned to his youth, and he can't help but think of those children in elementary school. In fact, the children in Wanxiang Dao Palace are not much different from those in ordinary elementary private schools. During class, the teachers are lecturing on the top, and the children are on paper, covering the illustrations in the textbooks, tracing them one by one, like copying when practicing calligraphy. At first glance, the teachers thought he was taking notes.

What kind of notes are they actually taking? If you don't read it, and you don't understand it even if you read it, it's useless to do it.

The thirty-two fourth-rank priests sat down one by one. Because they were no longer children, there was no need for the instructor to arrange seats. They just found their own seats and sat down. If they wanted to change seats, they just negotiated with each other.

Qi Xuansu sat in a position that was neither front nor back. Except for him and Yao Pei, most of the others were over 30 years old, and there were even a few white-haired ones. I don't know how long they had been working, but they had to be classmates with these young people.

Yao Pei sat in a corner, looking like a bad student who didn't make progress in the elementary school. He was not only listless, but also wanted to take a nap.

After a while, a female teacher came in. It was the female teacher who had made eye contact with Qi Xuansu before. She looked about 30 years old and was also a fourth-rank priest. Of course, she couldn't be compared with Zhang Yuelu, Yao Pei and others, but she was also young and promising.

The female teacher introduced herself. Her name was Ning Yuqing. She was not responsible for teaching, but was mainly responsible for the daily life of the students. If they encountered any trouble, they could look for her.

Qi Xuansu's origin can now be identified by his surname. Simple ones such as Zhang Yuelu and Li Changge, everyone knows that the Zhang family and the Li family are the two largest families in Taoism. More difficult ones, such as the surname Yao and the surname Pei, are from Quanzhen Taoism. Although these two families are not as good as the Zhang and Li families, they should not be underestimated. The name "Yao Pei" is the product of the marriage of the two families. This is also the reason why many people mistakenly believe that Qi Xuansu is from the Qi family of Quanzhen Taoism.

With the surname Ning and in Wanxiang Dao Palace, it is easy to associate it with Ning Yi, the first palace master of Wanxiang Dao Palace. This is a legendary figure who was born in Confucianism. His grandfather was the great priest of Confucianism and was in charge of Wanxiang Academy. At that time, the Confucian school was still the common leader of the world, but he resolutely chose to follow Xuansheng. After the Taoist school defeated the Confucian school, it rebuilt the Wanxiang Academy into the Wanxiang Taoist Palace and handed it over to Ning Yi, which was also a kind of inheritance in another sense.

And the former boss of Qi Xuansu's former boss, the previous head of Tiangang Hall, was named Ning Lingge. The two were probably from the same clan.

Qi Xuansu even thought that maybe this female teacher was the daughter of Ning Zhenren.

Qi Xuansu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, another noble lady from a noble family. A family has worked hard for several generations to manage a place, and I'm afraid that it's impossible to get in.

An ordinary person like him can get ahead, but his own ability is secondary. He mainly relies on luck and the support of noble people. Or to put it another way, three parts are ability, six parts luck, and one part support from noble people. For him, Qiniang had five points and Zhang Yuelu had one point. This was all due to his great luck. Pei Xiaolou, Pei Xuanzhi, and Lei Xiaohuan were noble people. As for how hard he fought, how much suffering he suffered, how he broke his hand and seriously injured himself, and how he worked so hard, it only accounts for three points.

If you are a child of an aristocratic family, you can use five points of family background to make up for one point of ability, three points of luck and one point of noble support. Even if you are not so motivated, you can still get ahead.

Family background is something you can't force or envy. Besides, Qi Xuansu has already had enough luck, so it's really unreasonable to envy others anymore. It's better to be normal.

After the female teacher Ning Yuqing introduced herself, she said a few more words and asked everyone to introduce themselves one by one.

Starting from Yao Pei.

Yao Pei is a bit maverick, but one good thing is that she follows the rules and never shirks what she should do or makes any pretense. She is the first to stand up and introduce herself. It is the same as when she introduced herself to Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu. There is no difference for the time being. The position is in the name of Wanshou Chongyang Palace.

These are no secrets. Yao Pei is well-known and not surprising to others.

The next people introduced themselves according to this format. Most of them worked in various local governments, and few worked in Jiutang.

When he arrived at Qi Xuansu, he had no choice but to stand up and say: "Qi Xuansu, a fourth-grade wine-sacrifice priest of Quanzhen Taoism, is currently the head of Ziwei Hall."

As soon as these words came out, there was a low uproar in the whole class.

For such a young Taoist priest of the fourth grade to offer sacrifices to wine, or to be the Taoist priest in charge of the Ziwei Hall, the head of the nine halls? Over the years, the Quanzhen Taoist group headed by Master Donghua has controlled Ziweitang, making it difficult for casual people to enter. Even Yao Pei did not enter. Who is this Qi Xuansu?

Many people have never heard of Qi Xuansu's name, so they can't help but make a fuss about the surname just like Qi Xuansu.

Yes, the surname is Qi. The head of the Shuzhou Taoist House, Master Qi Jiao Zheng, is also named Qi. The Qi family is also a prince in Quanzhen Taoism. Does this Qi Xuansu have anything to do with Master Qi Jiao Zheng Qi?

Qi Xuansu didn't care about these people's guessing looks.

It's okay if you treat me as part of the Qi family.

It’s okay if you think of me as a member of the Yao family.

Even if you treat me as the Zhang family's son-in-law, it's not impossible.

Just a false name.

It's convenient to use the tiger's skin as a banner, or the fox to fake the tiger's power.

An indescribably brief opening ceremony finally came to an end, and everyone left the classroom.

Qi Xuansu was the last to go, instead of going to Zhenyuan, he returned to Genyuan.

As a result, Qi Xuansu met the female teacher Ning Yuqing as soon as he arrived at Genyuan, and the two of them were a little surprised.

In Ning Yuqing's impression, this eldest son of Qi was probably a young handsome man similar to Yao Pei. The reason why he came to the palace was just to go through the motions due to the rules, but he did not expect that this man was still a handsome man. I really came here to study.

Qi Xuansu took the initiative to say hello out of politeness: "Ning Jiaoxi."

"Master Qi." Ning Yuqing smiled slightly, "What a coincidence."

Qi Xuansu said: "It's quite a coincidence."

Ning Yuqing thought for a while and said: "By the way, there is a reception banquet in the evening. Don't forget it, Master Qi. If Master Qi doesn't know the place, then I'll wait for you at the gate of Genyuan. We can go there together. The time is At the beginning of the Xu period.”

Then Ning Yuqing put on a meaningful smile and left first.
